Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

"Gao Zhan, what do you think of my decision to promote that general named Gao Shun?"

Emperor Liang asked, as he did not know much about Gao Shun.

However, according to Xiao Jingyan's report some time ago, he learned that Gao Shun was a very capable general with excellent skills, and was worth making good use of.

The only downside is that he is Xiao Jingyan's man.

In addition, he was busy organizing a martial arts contest to find a husband for Princess Nihuang at the time, so the matter of bestowing the title has been delayed until now.

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhan hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the work of the patrol battalion is neither too big nor too small. If it is General Gao Shun, who is under Prince Jing, then when there is no war, his power will exceed that of Prince Jing."

"This... will probably create a rift between the two of them."

gap?

The gap is great!

"Very well, you old fool, you usually talk nonsense, but now you've reminded me!"

Emperor Liang was overjoyed at this moment, because he felt that promoting Gao Shun was a very good thing.

Firstly, Gao Shun was not part of the Crown Prince and Prince Yu's faction, and he did not want to hand over the patrol battalion to the two of them. Gao Shun, as a third party, was the best option.

Secondly, Gao Shun's power surpasses that of his master, Xiao Jingyan, which will inevitably create a rift between them, just like the saying "merit overshadows the master." Moreover, Gao Shun is a talented individual.

He will then only need to use a little trickery to get them to join his side.

This back-and-forth not only suppressed the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, but also weakened Xiao Jingyan's power.

Perfect, absolutely perfect.

So what if I'm old? I can still easily control you little princes.

Thinking of this, Emperor Liang said with a smile, "It's him, it's him, Gao Shun. This name sounds good. He's from the same clan as you. I really like him. Gao Zhan, go and summon Gao Shun. I want to meet him."

"Yes!"

Gao Zhan accepted the order, and just as he was about to leave the main hall, Emperor Liang suddenly called out to him: "Wait!"

"Since you are going out, let's go to the Mu Prince's Mansion together and invite Zhao Yun as well."

At this moment, Emperor Liang remembered that there was a Zhao Yun in the Mu Prince's mansion, a man who was famous among the 100,000 soldiers of the Mu Prince's mansion.

He was also the second most important figure in suppressing the southern border.

He once fought his way in and out of the Southern Chu army seven times.

He had wanted to win over Zhao Yun for a while, but hadn't had the opportunity. However, the result of the martial arts contest for Princess Nihuang a few days ago was not ideal, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to win over Gao Shun and Zhao Yun as well.

In this way, with his support, Zhao Yun will be able to rival Princess Nihuang in the southern border.

"Yes, this old servant understands."

Gao Zhan knew that His Majesty was about to take action against the Mu Prince's Mansion.

However, he was just a palace attendant, and these were things he couldn't say or see, so he could only leave with his head down.

After he left, Emperor Liang sat excitedly on the dragon throne.

With a plan in place, his headaches and backaches have disappeared.

"Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, excellent! I never expected that my Great Liang would have such talents. I must make good use of them."

Emperor Liang planned to take this opportunity to resolve these major issues on his mind in one fell swoop.

I am truly a master of micro-management.

Xiao Jingyi: Do as you please, I'm not losing out anyway.

Before long, Zhao Yun and Gao Shun arrived outside the main hall at Gao Zhan's summons.

Upon meeting, both brothers looked at each other in surprise.

However, because there were many people around, the two pretended not to know each other and greeted each other.

"Generals, please come in."

Upon seeing this, Gao Zhan immediately spoke to Zhao Yun and Gao Shun.

"Thank you, sir."

The two responded and followed Gao Zhan inside.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The two men approached Emperor Liang, suppressing their thoughts of immediately deposing him, and bowed respectfully.

"Good good!"

"Rise! Rise!"

Seeing this, Emperor Liang, showing respect for scholars, stood up and helped the two men up.

"I had heard before that Princess Nihuang and Emperor Jingyan each had gained a fierce general under their command. Now it seems that it is true. You two are indeed worthy of the title of fierce general."

"Looking at the many contributions you have made, I feel at ease knowing that the Great Liang is in your hands."

"Your Majesty flatters me. I was merely doing what I could for Your Majesty."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. It is my duty to share Your Majesty's burdens."

Zhao Yun and Gao Shun inwardly complained, but still replied meticulously.

"Ah."

Looking at the two of them, Emperor Liang grew more and more pleased, and after hearing their words, he was even more satisfied.

Because the two of them kept saying they were doing things for him.

However, in order to confirm whether the two were sincere, he still planned to test them further.

"I intend to have you two work for me. Are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately put on an act, their faces beaming with joy, and knelt down on one knee.

"This humble general is willing!"

"This humble general is also willing!"

Seeing that the two did not seem to be faking it, Emperor Liang was extremely satisfied. He then dismissed everyone in the hall and spoke to the two about them.

...

It's unclear what they said, but three days later, Emperor Liang issued an edict directly to Zhao Yun and Gao Shun.

Zhao Yun was appointed General Who Guards the South, and Gao Shun was appointed Commander of the Patrol Battalion.

This edict caused a stir in the court and among the people.

As for Zhao Yun, it's alright. His Majesty's intention to check and balance the Mu Prince's Mansion is obvious, and coupled with Zhao Yun's outstanding achievements, no one dares to say anything.

But where did this Gao Shun come from?

Immediately, everyone was investigating.

When they finally learned that Gao Shun was someone from Prince Jing's faction, they were all stunned.

No, His Majesty is going to support Prince Jing?

That doesn't make sense. Even if we're going to support someone, we should support Prince Jing himself, not his subordinates.

In addition, news spread by the maids in Prince Jing's residence that Prince Jing was dissatisfied with Gao Shun's promotion and smashed many teacups.

News of the discord between Prince Jing and Gao Shun spread throughout the capital.

Everyone was astonished; His Majesty was undermining Prince Jing's power.

.....

"Wonderful!"

Inside the Prince Yi's residence, after seeing the news about the court, Xiao Jingyi knew that his scheme had succeeded once again.

"Gao Shun has successfully taken control of the patrol battalion and has allowed it to expand to 8000 men. In other words, all 8000 men will belong to me in the future."

"In addition, Zilong commands 50,000 troops, and Hansheng commands 30,000 troops."

"Now I command an army of 90,000?"

Thinking of this number, Xiao Jingyi felt a surge of excitement.

If this gets out, the entire court and the public will be shaken, and Emperor Liang will probably be unable to sit still.

Unfortunately, only a few people know about this.

These individuals all disliked Emperor Liang.

045 General Card: Guan Yu, 100,000 Elite Troops! (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)

However, with an army of nearly 90,000, Xiao Jingyi found himself facing another problem.

That's nearly 90,000 people, excluding the soldiers he exchanged.

How many of them are truly loyal to him?

It's not that he didn't trust Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun's methods of managing their subordinates.

However, apart from Huang Zhong, the other two had only recently taken office and could not immediately and completely control the troops under their command.

At this moment, in the hearts of these soldiers, they were Emperor Liang's people, not his.

“In this way, these soldiers will gradually be replaced by my own men.”

Xiao Jingyi frowned slightly. With such a large number of troops required, his points paled in comparison.

"It seems that recruiting soldiers is the top priority right now."

With a long sigh, Xiao Jingyi then opened the panel.

System: Points System

Host: Xiao Jingyi

Permissions: Level 1

Points: 43200 (1 points per minute)

Strength: Peak Grandmaster

Technique: Sacred Heart Mantra

Points Mall: Click to open

A full month has passed since he last redeemed soldiers, and his points have risen to over 4.

This time, Xiao Jingyi did not hesitate at all and directly exchanged 2000 sixth-rank soldiers, intending to fill the gaps in Gao Shun's forces first.

"Ding! 40000 points have been spent to exchange for 2000 sixth-rank soldiers."

"Ding! The host has accumulated 15 points in spending. Hidden rewards: 1 random general card and 1 random troop type."

!!!

???

Depend on!

Is that even possible?!

He was about to close the system panel when the sudden notification sound startled him.

"You can play it like this?"

Xiao Jingyi immediately asked the system.

"Ding! It's always been available."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi perked up and immediately asked, "System, how many points do I need to accumulate for the next reward?"

"Ding! 50 points."

"50...."

Upon hearing this number, Xiao Jingyi's lips twitched slightly. It had taken him more than three months to spend 15 points, and he was still 50 short of accumulating 35.

He estimated that it would take at least 7 months.

Damn it, this is a push for me to take the position.
