    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1128

    Li Yi was shot and killed by a hidden arrow in the barracks, which caught the shadow guards in charge of the custody by surprise, because they were ordered to arrest, not behead.

    Soon, the soldier of the Northern Army who shot the arrow in the back was caught, but the poison pill had already been crushed in his mouth, and he died soon.

    "It's a dead man!"

    Seeing that the soldier of the northern army who was captured actually committed suicide by biting poison, one of the leaders of the Shadow Guard also had a gloomy and terrifying expression.

    Someone actually shot and killed Li Yi, the young marshal of the Northern Army, under their noses. If no one instructed him, ghosts would believe it.

    But he looked around all the generals and soldiers of the Northern Army, and it was difficult for him to determine whether there was an ulterior secret or someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos to find Li Yi for revenge.

    This is the camp of the northern army, not the prison of the shadow guards, so the leader of the shadow guards was very angry, but he could only endure it. After bidding farewell to the general Li Yuanqing, he took Li Yi's body to the base camp overnight.

    "What, Li Yi was killed?"

    When the emperor Long Tian of the rebel army heard the report from the shadow guard that Li Yi, the marshal of the Northern Army, was killed, he was also shocked.

    You must know that Li Kou, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, was ambushed and killed, and Li Yi, the young commander, was assassinated again. If not, the Northern Army will fall apart.

    If he holds the young marshal Li Yi in his hands, and then through division and wooing, he may be able to gradually control the army of the Northern Army in his own hands.

    But now the commander-in-chief and the young commander-in-chief have all died one after another, which makes Long Tian's complexion extremely ugly.

    Because once he is incited by someone with a heart, someone will definitely take this vengeance on him, saying that he is the mastermind behind the scenes and wants to seize the military power of the Northern Army.

    However, no matter how stupid Long Tian is, he will not destroy his foundation. Although he really wants to control the military power of the northern army, he also knows that the enemy is in front of him and he cannot mess up his position.

    However, it happened at this time that such a incident happened, which made Long Tian feel quite troublesome.

    "Who would be doing this to their father and son?"

    Long Tian also summoned his prime minister, Lu Quan, to seek Lu Quan's opinion.

    "Your Majesty, Li and his son have been in charge of the Northern Army for many years, and they have many enemies, so I feel that anyone is possible."

    The rebel prime minister, Lu Quan, is also quite depressed now. Li Kou and his son are the backbone of the Northern Army, and now the backbone of the Northern Army is gone.

    In addition, the northern army and the Zhendong army are now fighting fiercely, so that their rebel camp is also tense, and the atmosphere is very delicate.

    "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter who the murderer is. Our top priority now is to control the current situation. As far as I know, Vice Marshal Chai's army has already approached the Northern Army camp. We must immediately stop the further development of the gaffe."

    Lu Quan lacked some corresponding evidence, and did not dare to judge who the murderer was, because the internal turmoil was already in turmoil, and if mutual suspicion continued, the internal division would be further aggravated.

    "It's really a headache. I don't know what good plan Lu Aiqing has?"

    Thinking of the fierce battles between the Northern Army and the Zhendong Army, which resulted in tens of thousands of casualties, Long Tian felt that one head was bigger than two.

    Both the Northern Army and the Zhendong Army were one of the two field troops of the imperial court at the time, and they were of equal status.

    Now that the two main forces under his command are fighting, if he doesn't handle it well, it will cause further chaos.

    "The root of the problem is that the Northern Army suspected that the Generalissimo was ambushed by the Zhendong Army, so there was a series of things such as the subsequent retaliation."

    "So our top priority is to clarify the ambush and stabilize the commanders of the two armies at the same time. Only in this way can we ensure that the situation does not get out of control."

    Lu Quan, as Prime Minister Zuo of the rebel camp, naturally knew that if the Northern Army and Zhendong Army really strangled, then their rebel camp would really be finished, so the top priority now is to control the situation and prevent further conflicts.

    "Young Marshal Li Yi is dead, and now it is General Li Yuanqing who is in command temporarily. Li Yuanqing is Li Kou's adopted son. He is brave and good at fighting, and has a high prestige. Moreover, he cooperated with the shadow guards to arrest Young Marshal Li Yi, which shows his loyalty to His Majesty.  Your Majesty can formally confer Li Yuanqing the title of General Zhenbei and Deputy Marshal of the Army and Horses to stabilize the Northern Army."

    "As soon as His Majesty's edict arrives, Li Yuanqing will definitely be grateful to His Majesty, and will follow His Majesty's order and stop retaliating against the Zhendong Army."

      "From now on, His Majesty can control the Northern Army remotely through Li Yuanqing, completely controlling the Northern Army."

    After hearing the words of Prime Minister Lu Quan, the battered Long Tian also felt his eyes light up, and suddenly felt that the death of Li Kou and his son seemed to be a good thing for him.

    "Although Li Yuanqing is Li Kou's adopted son and is willing to obey my orders, he is young after all, and there are many northern army generals who are loyal to Li Kou. I am worried that Li Yuanqing will not be able to restrain them." Long Tian expressed his worries.  .

    "These things to clear the obstacles are naturally what Li Yuanqing needs to do. If he can't handle this problem well, wouldn't he have failed His Majesty's trust?"

    "Of course, if His Majesty feels uneasy, he can send shadow guards to assist him in controlling the Northern Army." Lu Quan suggested.

    After thinking for a while, Long Tian said: "For the sake of safety, let the shadow guard assist."

    "It's just that the shadow guards are also watching Li Yuanqing. If there is any situation, report it as soon as possible." Long Tian added.

    Although Li Yuanqing cooperated with him extremely this time, Long Tian was still not at ease with Li Yuanqing, the adopted son of the former Generalissimo, so the shadow guard also kept an eye on him.

    "Although Vice Marshal Chai is angry now, Vice Marshal Chai is quite rational and dare not disobey His Majesty's will, so His Majesty only needs to send someone to reward them with wine and meat, and to appease them, they will definitely stop  Attack the Northern Army."

    "Okay, then do as you say."

    Long Tian also immediately agreed with Prime Minister Zuo Lu Quan's suggestion, that is to send someone to appease Chai Sheng of the Zhendong Army at the same time.

    "In order to avoid further conflict between the two armies, I suggest that some of Vice Marshal Xu's troops should be transferred to take over Tacheng and other places, and separate the Northern Army and Zhendong Army."

    "Yes."

    After some discussion between the rebel emperor Long Tian and the prime minister Lu Quan, a solution was quickly negotiated.

    Li Yuanqing, the general of the northern army, became the beneficiary of this incident, and was directly canonized as the new general of Zhenbei, the deputy marshal of the rebel army.

    In the past, Li Yuanqing was able to rank third in the battle sequence of the Northern Army.

    It's just that his position as the third person is not very stable. The reason why he ranks third is his adopted son status, but there are still a large number of meritorious generals in the Northern Army who have no weaker voice than him.

    This time, No. 1 and No. 2 were finished, and his position as No. 3 was not very stable. With Long Tian's support, he became the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army.

    Although Li Yuanqing also has ambitions, he also knows that his current power is unstable and needs Long Tian's support.

    So he also obeyed Long Tian's order and began to spread some news in the army, that is, the general was not killed by the Zhendong army, but the bandit army planted the blame, so as to eliminate the northern army's hostility towards the Zhendong army.

    At the same time, in order to consolidate his position, Li Yuanqing, with the cooperation of the shadow guards, began to gradually cut off the party members of former Marshal Li Kou and Young Marshal Li Yi.

    The Northern Army is currently busy with internal cleansing. Although the Zhendong Army fought several bloody battles with the Northern Army, they suffered considerable losses.

    Seeing that Longtian sent important ministers to bring wine and meat to condolences, and at the same time seeing that the commander and young commander of the Northern Army were dead, the smart Chai Sheng naturally didn't want to fight to the death, so he took advantage of the situation to go down the donkey and stopped fighting with the Northern Army.  combat contact.

    The commanders of both the Northern Army and Zhendong Army obeyed the order and stopped attacking. Some troops at the front were still at war, but they also stopped the conflict and began to retreat as ordered.

    After Xu Yong, another deputy commander of the rebel army, received the order, he also sent two corps to the border area between Lancang Province and Hedong Province to separate the Northern Army and Zhendong Army.

    Some towns that were originally occupied by the Northern Army and Zhendong Army are now all taken over by Xu Yong's army, which further expands the area controlled by Xu Yong.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
