After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Tianjizi calculated all the secrets of heaven, yet he never knew that Chen Futu was such a shameless fellow, even asking for money. It's a shame that he was a great figure who was famous throughout the world.

The Heavenly Secrets Mansion does indeed have considerable resources, no less than the Green Robe Mansion, after all, it is a first-class force in the martial arts world.

In addition, the environment at Tianji Tower was quite nice, and Tianjizi was very satisfied after visiting it. So he wrote a letter to Tianji Prefecture within the Great Qian territory, asking them to send money over.

Speaking of money, Qin Liangyu sent over ten million taels of silver from the southern military camp in the past two days.

Because Chen Futu signed the "Mysterious Water Alliance" with Daqian, some rebel kings and various forces secretly sent gold and silver treasures, hoping to befriend the king and hoping that the northern frontier would launch a sneak attack on Daqian from behind, putting Sun Chengzong in a dilemma.

Chen Futu put this money into the imperial treasury. The system had deducted it several times before, and now that the landlord's family was out of surplus grain, it was a good opportunity to replenish it.

Subsequently, Chen Futu wrote a personal letter and had the Embroidered Uniform Guard deliver it to the rebel kings, openly supporting them and encouraging them to give the Great Qian a good beating, promising that the Northern Frontier would support them wholeheartedly.

This is just a verbal promise; Chen Futu will never actually send troops. Isn't it better to play it safe and develop his strength?

If we're not going to fight, then we won't fight at all; if we're going to fight, then we'll take down the Great Qian in one fell swoop.

"Report! Your Majesty, the war between Prince Chengzong of Kaiping and the various rebel kings has come to a conclusion!"

Three days later, the secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard hurriedly returned to the royal court.

Chen Futu's heart skipped a beat. "What was the result?"

“Sun Chengzong’s supply lines and logistics camp were attacked, and all his supplies were burned to the ground. His army was thrown into chaos and was eventually surrounded by various rebel forces at Siping Mountain. He had just broken out of the encirclement before his subordinates returned, but his army had suffered heavy losses.”

"it is good!"

Chen Futu slammed his fist on the table and stood up, in an extremely pleasant mood.

"It seems that the prince and those corrupt officials in the court have taken action."

Liu Bowen was beaming with joy.

Sun Chengzong was a representative of the military elites, but he was outwardly subject to the newly powerful Emperor's father-in-law. The Huaixi clique, represented by the Emperor's father-in-law, wanted to seize military power, and Sun Chengzong had to be defeated.

Given Sun Chengzong's military strategy, it's impossible that his supply routes and the logistics base where he stockpiled supplies could be exposed so easily. Someone must have secretly informed the various rebel kings.

Sun Chengzong's defeat caused the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty to plummet by at least 50%!

After Chen Futu finished laughing, he asked Liu Bowen, "Old Liu, the various rebel kings have defeated Sun Chengzong at Siping Mountain and have gained momentum. What will happen next?"

Liu Bowen chuckled and said, "Prime Minister Zhuge once said that, given Sun Chengzong's character, he would never leave easily. He will most likely gather his troops and fight a desperate battle against the various rebel kings. The court may even issue twelve imperial edicts to summon him back to the capital."

"Could he be another Yue Fei?"

Chen Futu told the Imperial Guards to go back and rest, and then continue to wait for news.

As expected, Sun Chengzong then gathered his remaining troops and, instead of seeking help from the court, ordered his soldiers to kill horses for food, intending to fight the various rebel kings one last time, showing a do-or-die attitude.

With his strength, if he were to fight to the death, the various rebel kings might not necessarily be able to defeat him.

What followed was a familiar scene: the new emperor issued a golden edict summoning him back to the capital and ordering him to preserve his strength and not disobey, or face military law. However, Sun Chengzong refused to return to the capital, arguing that a general in the field cannot obey military orders.

He had a premonition of his fate.

The killing of the Northern Frontier King was actually a signal. He, the Northern Frontier King, and the Eastern Sea King who was killed back then were all the same kind of people. They were all people whose achievements overshadowed their masters. Even though he was well-versed in the ways of the world, at this moment, he had no way out. If he went back, he would either be deposed or imprisoned. As the commander-in-chief, he could not allow himself to spend his last days in a dark and hopeless prison. He wanted to die on the battlefield.

Looking at the battle report sent back by Daqian, Chen Futu couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity for such a general. If he had been employed by me, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty loves talent, but unfortunately his heart is not in it. Now that his death is imminent, we can only watch the changing world with a smile."

The disaster relief efforts in northern Xinjiang have been successfully completed, and everything is moving in a positive direction.

Tianjizi performed a divination for the Northern Frontier and was so astonished that he cried out in surprise.

He calculated that this year's harvest in the northern frontier would be abundant, completely different from last year's prediction. He could even see purple mist rising above the royal court, a sign that the imperial star was rising.

Therefore, Chen Futu will inevitably ascend the throne and become emperor; it's just a matter of time.

Chen Futu dispatched more shadow guards to infiltrate the Great Qian Dynasty and gather intelligence on military matters, bringing back everything, no matter how small.

In just one month, Sun Chengzong received six military orders in succession, but he ignored them all. He first fought a desperate battle and broke through the rebel coalition, and then launched a night raid on the enemy camp, killing three rebel kings in succession. His power shook the world, and even Chen Futu had to praise him as awesome.

Wang Ting's generals, including Guan Yu and Huo Qubing, were all itching to fight Sun Chengzong.

However, the good times didn't last long. Prince Xin, disguised as a rebel, suddenly attacked Sun Chengzong from behind. Sun Chengzong was thrown into chaos and defeated at Hengshui. He was rescued by his subordinates at great risk and then returned to the capital.

If Chen Futu wasn't mistaken, what followed was the familiar fabricated charge. He wondered if Fengbo Pavilion even existed in this world, but it was a pity he couldn't witness this grand spectacle firsthand.

Ding!

[General Yunluo has been detected. Please make a choice, host.]

[1. Choose to send someone to rescue Sun Chengzong, reward 30,000 elite Qin soldiers, commanding general Meng Tian, ​​rank of early Grandmaster]

[2. Choose to observe the changing world, and you will be rewarded with 8,000 Yue Family Army soldiers, led by General Yue Fei, and also given the fierce general Yang Zaixing, both of whom are at the early stage of Grandmaster in martial arts.]

"System, you're not even going to pretend anymore. Sun Chengzong is really the second Yue Fei."

After the system upgrade, the martial arts cultivation of the reward generals also increased. Guan Yu and the others have now entered the Grandmaster level, and are even gradually improving. Once their fierce generals all become Saints, damn it, they'll make sure the ancient palace is completely destroyed.

"System, saving him is impossible. Sun Chengzong is blindly loyal, just like Yue Fei, so I choose Yue Fei."

[If the choice is successful, Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing will lead the Yue Family Army to Longcheng on the day Sun Chengzong falls.]

"You really know how to play..."

Chen Futu shook his head with a wry smile and looked in the direction of Daqian.

Several days later, the sky darkened and the sun and moon disappeared. Heavy snow covered the capital region. The spring snow fell like goose feathers, creating a bleak and miserable scene.

When Chen Futu woke up in the morning and saw the snow, he knew that Sun Chengzong was going to die.

Ding!

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing are about to arrive in Longcheng.

"Alright, I'll go and personally fetch General Yue right away."

Chen Futu immediately ordered Dian Wei to send a message to the military camp, informing Guan Yu and other fierce generals to come out and meet them. At the same time, the capital region of Daqian was in turmoil.

Upon returning to the city, Sun Chengzong was immediately imprisoned and tortured beyond recognition. Subsequently, the new emperor stripped him of his title of Prince of Kaiping and his military power, and ordered him to be torn apart by chariots at Guanshan Pavilion today for crimes such as disrespecting the emperor and disobeying imperial orders.

Not a single official in the court objected; they were determined to divide the power and interests held by Sun Chengzong.
