In King Wunan's Mansion.
The Northern General Zhong Zhentao led a team of elite troops and barged in.
His scales were dense, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
Zhong Zhentao rode on a tall horse and held an imperial edict in his hand. He looked even more majestic and arrogant.
Hearing him read out the contents of the imperial edict, everyone was shocked!
Everyone knew that although King Wu Nan had 400,000 troops under his command, the 70,000 Iron Pagoda was the true foundation!
Losing Tie Futu was equivalent to a tiger losing its teeth!
This move was vicious.
It was equivalent to pulling firewood from under the cauldron.
No one had expected that in order to weaken King Wu Nan's military power.
The old emperor had actually issued an imperial edict to let General Zhong Zhentao take over the Iron Futu Army!
Lu Yunshu, Lu Fengan, Butler Liu, and the rest of his family were all present.
Their expressions were gloomy, but they dared not speak up!
This was an imperial edict, and it was not something that could be easily objected to!
"Father, there is no war. The northern region has always been stable. It is enough to have the Northern Army guarding it!”
"The old emperor clearly wants to seize the military power of Tie Futu!”
Lu Yunshu was extremely anxious.
Lu Litian looked at his eldest daughter and sighed.
How could he not know?
The tense war was just an excuse!
However, it was definitely not that easy for King Wu Nan to hand over the military power of Tie Futu!
Lu Litian looked at him and said calmly,"
"General Zhong, the northern region has always been peaceful. May I ask what war is so urgent?”
Zhong Zhentao replied with a fake smile,"
"The Hu people of the Hu Kingdom in the north often invade. Don't you know?”
"Or are you pretending to be confused?"
"The Hu Kingdom's army has already gathered at the border and launched a fierce attack!”
"With the strength of my subordinates, it will be difficult for them to hold on for long!”
"If the gate to the Northern Region is broken, can you bear the crime?!”
In the end, Zhong Zhentao didn't care if it was true or false. He first put on a 'hat' of guilt.
Lu Litian frowned.
The Hu Kingdom in the north was indeed a hidden danger, but the Hu Kingdom was only a barbarian country. Its equipment and martial arts were rather backward.
It was no different from the Nanman army.
It was almost impossible to break through the northern pass of the Great Gan Empire!
Since when did the Hu Kingdom have the guts to invade Da Qian?
As long as one wasn't a fool, they would know that what Zhong Zhentao said was completely false!
But no one could prove that he was lying.
Naturally, Lu Litian did not agree. He retorted coldly,"
"As far as I know, the Hu Kingdom's army is weak and ordinary. General Zhong's Northern Army is famous all over the world.”
"Even if we really lack reinforcements, can't we just mobilize troops from nearby cities? Why do we have to take over the Iron Futu?”
Zhong Zhentao said coldly,"
"His Majesty has his own ideas on this matter."
"It's not that we haven't mobilized troops from other places, but only Tie Futu is most suitable for fighting in the north!”
"Furthermore, outside the Northern Territory is the Nanming Empire!”
"Once the Hu Kingdom opens up a gap in the northern border of our Great Qian Dynasty and the Nanming Empire sends their army south, will you, King Wu Nan, bear the consequences?”
When the others heard this, they were all furious.
The Nanming Empire was so far away from the Great Qian Empire. How could they possibly attack from thousands of miles away?
Even if they really came, Da Qian would have received the news in advance!
This Zhong Zhentao was simply trying to scare people!
"In that case, if it's really as serious as General Zhong said…"
"Then, why don't you let me personally lead the Iron Futu to the front line to fight against the enemy?”
Lu Litian's eyes were burning.
How was it possible for him to hand over Tie Futu's military power just like that?
He might as well lead the troops to fight personally!
"Humph!"
Zhong Zhentao snorted coldly.
How could he agree?
"King Wu Nan, I've already read out the imperial edict. Are you going to disobey it?!”
Zhong Zhentao said sternly.
He could not be bothered to find any more excuses. He directly used the name of the imperial edict to suppress King Wu Nan!
Hearing this, Lu Litian's face darkened.
The Iron Futu was his blood, sweat, and tears. If he handed it over, he could forget about getting it back!
It was no different from cutting off a piece of his flesh!
However, if he didn't agree, he would be deceiving the emperor!
He naturally wouldn't put a general in his eyes.
But disobeying the imperial edict was another matter…
Lu Yunshu and the others were angry but did not say anything. They knew what King Wu Nan was thinking.
"The Iron Futu Army is the fruit of my father's life's hard work. How can I give it away?”
"Old Emperor, this is too much!"
No one was willing to compromise.
However, disobeying the imperial edict was a great crime that would bring disaster to the entire family!
Zhong Zhentao's eyes were filled with pride, and he felt extremely refreshed!
Even though he was the General of the Northern Garrison and had a great reputation, he was still far inferior to King Wunan.
His title of Great General could be removed at any time.
However, King Wu Nan was an official of the border, a feudal lord!
He raised his army and raised his head.
Other than the current emperor, no one else could suppress King Wu Nan.
But today, Zhong Zhentao was able to show off in the King Wu Nan's Mansion with the imperial edict!
However, King Wu Nan was helpless.
This was the situation of a tiger being bullied by dogs.
"Hand over the commander's seal of the Iron Futu army!”
Zhong Zhentao raised his head high and stretched out his hand, looking down on them.
"You…"
Everyone was burning with anger and trembling with anger.
The other party's arrogant appearance was very infuriating!
"What are you going to do if I don't hand over the commander's seal?" Lu Litian said coldly.”
At this moment, his spine was as straight as a javelin, and a soaring spirit pierced through the clouds!
An invisible pressure swept across the entire scene, causing Zhong Zhentao's expression to turn ugly!
The elite soldiers behind him could not help but take a step back!
Their pupils constricted, and they felt their hearts beating wildly.
Don't forget that the person in front was the famous King Wu Nan!
A reputation built with blood and bones!
What right did a general have to shout in front of him?
Zhong Zhentao swallowed with difficulty and did not dare to make a sound for a moment.
Just as the atmosphere was heavy, a faint voice sounded,"
"You want the commander's seal of the Iron Futu army?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome young man in white strolling over. His eyes were like lightning.
Who else could it be but Lu Ping 'an?
"Third brother!"
"Third Brother might have a way!"
Lu Yunshu and Lu Feng 'an were pleasantly surprised.
This younger brother of his was always able to create miracles!
There might be a way to resolve this crisis!
"Kid, what do you mean? Do you know who you're talking to?"
"Do you know that in my hand is an imperial edict written by His Majesty?”
Zhong Zhentao sneered and stared at Lu Ping 'an with disdain.
When he saw that the person who came was a young man, he immediately became more confident!
"Of course I know who you are…"
Lu Ping 'an chuckled.
"Isn't he just a small general?”
"Are you qualified to take over the Iron Futu Army?”
Lu Ping 'an's voice suddenly became sharp.
"Tie Futu has always been under the command of my father!”
"Who do you think you are?"
The moment he said that, everyone was shocked!
This Third Prince of Martial South was too arrogant!
Zhong Zhentao's face instantly darkened.
