Chapter 1 Why did Your Majesty seize my military power?
Beiliang.
The night wind howled and the flags fluttered.
"Beiliang is the gateway to the Central Plains, and not an inch of land can be abandoned!"
"If we withdraw our troops now, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be buried alive! Ten years of my efforts will be wasted in an instant!!"
"The time will never come again when the work is almost done! The country will never be revived! The world will never be restored again!"
"I beg Your Majesty to reconsider..."
Xu Beichen sat on the main seat in the tent, listening expressionlessly to a memorial read by a civil servant in front of him.
But the generals sitting in the row of seats on his left all had grim faces.
Raging rage filled their eyes as they glared at the civil servant.
Almost eyes popping out!
Some people even exuded a cold murderous intent, making the entire tent even colder.
but.
However, the civil servant turned a deaf ear to this, put away the memorial, and asked his subordinates to pass it to Xu Beichen.
"Although General Xu is a military commander, your memorial is a masterpiece of literary talent!"
"Unfortunately, I have violated the emperor's will. I have no choice but to return this memorial to the general."
"The Prime Minister cherishes the general's talent and has specially asked me to recite carefully in front of the general..."
He slowly put his hands behind his back, his face slightly raised, a hint of indescribable mockery in his expression.
Xu Beichen took the memorial and read it carefully in the flickering campfire.
The handwriting under the firelight was vigorous and powerful, with iron hooks and silver strokes.
Those books and texts that were occasionally altered were like blood-stained swords!
This shows how heroic and determined the person who wrote this is.
But...
Every word is heart-wrenching!
But now.
This tearful memorial was actually read out in public as a humiliation!
Based on this memorial, Xu Beichen could also feel how anxious his predecessor must have been.
It has been half a day since he came here, and he has almost digested the memories of his previous life.
His predecessor was the General Zhenbei of the Dayang Dynasty. Although he was not good at martial arts, he was brave and good at fighting.
He led 300,000 Northern Liang cavalry and fought bloody battles for the Dayang Dynasty for ten years!
Dare to fight against the immortals on land, resist the invasion of Northern Mang, and recover lost territory.
Over the past ten years, he has killed countless enemies and made great military achievements!
Countless souls of enemy generals, martial arts masters, and important officials of enemy countries have died under the sword.
even.
Not only did it prevent the Northern Mang army from moving southward at all, it also showed signs of counterattacking.
We can recover the old mountains and rivers!
The name of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry has long dominated the world!
However, at this time.
In the capital, the emperor who was sitting on the throne had lost his mind and issued three imperial edicts:
Order Beiliang to withdraw!
But once the troops are withdrawn, the previous ten years of hard work will be destroyed.
One can imagine the helplessness and grief in the previous person's heart.
I can only suppress the order for the time being and draft this memorial, which I will send to the imperial court urgently over a distance of 800 miles!
The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?
The current situation is particularly similar to many cases that occurred in Xu Beichen's previous life.
But the history of previous lives has proved countless times that blind loyalty will not lead to great things!
now.
It was the Dayang court that sent a special envoy to bring the reply...
"Sun Qian, are you looking for death?!"
At this time.
The general at the front on Xu Beichen's left could no longer suppress his anger and stood up from his chair abruptly.
Swish!
The black iron sword was drawn out, and the bright blade shone blindingly in the firelight.
"Now that a great war with Beimang is imminent, how can we withdraw our troops?"
"Who gave you, the Minister of War, the courage to come to our camp and humiliate the general?"
As the general stood up.
The generals in a row on the left all stood up in unison and glared at Sun Qian.
It seemed like he was just waiting for an order.
He would immediately kill the Minister of War!
"He has his own army and plots to murder an official of the imperial court..."
Sun Qian was not in a hurry, with a faint sneer on his face.
"Generals, do you want to frame General Xu for being disloyal and unjust?"
He ignored those generals and turned to look at Xu Beichen who was still sitting on the main seat.
He then slowly took out a gold medal from his sleeve, which shone brightly.
There are four words engraved on it - "As if I were here in person"!
"In compliance with your majesty's order, the matter of withdrawing troops will be discussed later."
"I only order General Xu Beichen to return to the capital immediately. No mistakes can be made!"
"General Xu, His Majesty has forgiven you for disobeying three imperial edicts in a row. This will not happen again."
"General, please accept my order as soon as possible!"
time.
All the generals stared at the gold medal in Sun Qian's hand.
Endless sadness and disappointment emerged in every pair of eyes!
His Majesty the Emperor's decree cannot be disobeyed.
And now, Sun Qian even brought a gold medal representing the emperor. Is the court so afraid of the general?
We must force General Xu to return to Beijing at all costs!
But if he returns to Beijing, the general will be framed by the court!
"Call me back to Beijing..."
Xu Beichen secretly complained in his heart, this was exactly the same as the situation in his previous life.
But if I really go back, I won’t have the military power to protect me.
I will definitely die in the capital!
His predecessor had been guarding the northern border of Dayang for ten years and had made countless military achievements, but had received few rewards.
In fact, he has already reached a point where his achievements have become a threat to his master!
There is nothing to be sealed and nothing to be rewarded.
The Dayang court was probably well prepared.
Once he returned to Beijing, he would be immediately thrown into prison and eventually die tragically in prison.
even.
It is not certain whether you can be safe on the way back.
I just came here and I'm faced with this fatal situation!
Xu Beichen was actually feeling very melancholy.
Does this count as a one-day time-travel experience?
no way.
The predecessor had 300,000 Northern Liang cavalry, which could be regarded as the most elite army of the Dayang Dynasty.
Three hundred thousand elite soldiers, invincible.
It's not just the enemies who will be afraid.
Just based on this military power, even the emperor and the court behind him have to regard him as a tiger and leopard!
If the predecessor were really allowed to recover the old territory and perform great merits, what reward would the emperor give him?
The throne?!
and many more……
"I now have 300,000 Beiliang cavalrymen at my disposal?!"
It was as if Xu Beichen suddenly grasped something in his mind, and an idea flashed across his mind.
He glanced around with complicated eyes.
Just by looking at the reactions of these generals in the camp, it is not difficult to see that the Beiliang Cavalry is absolutely loyal!
"Sigh~"
Xu Beichen couldn't help but take a breath.
The Northern Liang Iron Cavalry has many generals, is invincible, and is loyal to me...
The emperor and the imperial court were also extremely wary of me...
And I have made great achievements in battle, and my name is known throughout the martial arts world and the government...
It seems that the initial elements for rebellion are all in place!
not to mention.
His current situation is very clear.
You will die if you return to Beijing!
Does this mean that there is nothing more to consider?
Three hundred thousand cavalrymen are stationed in Beiliang. Why did Your Majesty seize my military power and plot to murder me? !
Well, stay calm!
Rebellion is definitely something that must be done with extreme caution.
But Xu Beichen understands one thing very well: a man has to pretend and be ruthless!
"Although I have heard of the general's reputation, I cannot kneel down and kowtow to your majesty's golden medal and accept your order immediately..."
At this time, Sun Qian was showing the gold medal in his hand and staring at Xu Beichen.
"I'm afraid the general will inevitably be branded as a traitor to the emperor!"
Who in this world has not heard that Xu Beichen acted loyally and sincerely throughout his life?
Whether they had previously disobeyed the imperial edict or were unwilling to withdraw their troops, they were all fighting for the Dayang Dynasty.
But if Your Majesty has doubts, what does it matter how famous Xu Beichen is?
Now the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty has arrived.
According to the court's understanding, Xu Beichen would eventually have to return to Beijing.
however.
Xu Beichen just turned around and looked back at Sun Qian with a calm look.
His tall figure, set against the armor, appears majestic and indifferent!
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Do not know why.
From this moment on, Sun Qian inexplicably felt a pressure from Xu Beichen that he had never felt before!
He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!
Subconsciously, he grasped the gold medal in his hand and held it high.
"General Xu, the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty has arrived, you..."
But the words are not finished yet.
He then noticed that Xu Beichen had walked up to the general who had drawn his sword earlier and grabbed the sword.
Walk towards him with a knife!
Sun Qian's expression froze and he panicked in an instant!
"General Xu, are you going to disobey my order?"
"You know, you are already disobeying the Holy Saint!"
"If you plot to murder an official appointed by the imperial court, it is treason..."
Yet, he spoke.
Under his increasingly horrified gaze.
Xu Beichen had slowly walked in front of him, with his sword raised. The brilliance of the blade seemed to overshadow the gold medal in his hand.
And all around, the eyes of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry generals became stunned and dumbfounded!
Ding Ding Deng!
Sun Qian was completely panicked and quickly took a few steps back, full of disbelief.
"The Prime Minister is..."
Chi!
The knife flashed and blood splattered three feet away.
Sun Qian took a few steps back weakly and fell to the ground.
Until his death, there was still an lingering sense of astonishment in his heart.
Xu Beichen actually... rebelled? !
[It has been detected that you have successfully traveled through time. Fight against the unjust and punish the treacherous officials. You have been granted the destiny! ]
at the same time.
A clear reminder sound rang in Xu Beichen's mind.
