Chapter 101: Obedience
But the suffocating calm in the whole tent did not last long.
"The last general understands!" Pei Zilie gritted his teeth and took the lead in taking a step forward and saluting, although his official position and age were here, the first statement seemed a little abrupt, but anyway, Pei Zilie didn't plan to make it now, and he didn't have a second choice, so it was better to be neat.
Seeing Pei Zilie, who was the first to stand up, General Ning Yuan Ren Zhong hesitated for a moment, but also took a step forward: "Obey!" ”
Ren Zhong's weight in the army is not comparable to Pei Zilie's, although his rank as General Ning Yuan is a little higher than Pei Zilie's Dianwei General, but Ren Zhongjiu's reputation and connections in the army are not comparable to young people like Pei Zilie, and even Xiao Maha is slightly inferior to him.
At this time, Ren Zhong stood up to express his position, but it didn't just mean that he was alone, sure enough, before Ren Zhong stood back, a Zhonglang general who was usually close to Ren Zhong, and could even be said to be the first to look forward to Ren Zhong, stood up one after another, and the entire camp was quite lively for a while, and those who were originally the wall grass and centrists who came to watch the play with a clear attitude no longer hesitated at this time. The grass on the wall and the centrist do not mean that they will not choose, once there is a deviation in the strength of the two sides, these guys can smell the wind for the first time.
Sometimes the straw that breaks the camel's back is a wall grass.
One after another eyes fell on Fan Meng's body, everyone knew that this time the transfer of power, the most opinionated must be Fan Meng. After all, compared to Xiao Maha, Fan Meng has less combat achievements, whether it is qualifications, age or military connections, he is actually better, but who would have thought that Wu Mingche has always valued Xiao Maha, and he has no intention of giving Fan Meng a chance, but Xiao Maha has completed everything almost perfectly, without a single flaw, and there is really no way to pick a bone in the egg.
Now, there is no room for maneuver, Fan Meng doesn't know what the consequences will be if he doesn't say anything, but he knows very well that in that case, Wu Mingche will not let himself be comfortable.
This time Wu Mingche continued to write a letter to ask for the disarming and return to the field, but His Majesty still did not agree as always, which shows that even if he was almost defeated in the later stage of the Battle of Luliang, His Majesty's trust and favor for Wu Mingche are still there, as long as His Majesty's trust is still there, Wu Mingche can firmly sit in the position of the sky, and he can return to the army at any time to take charge of the army, plus Wu Mingche's connections and prestige or qualifications, are not comparable to Fan Meng, and even Fan Meng's brother Fan Yi, the assassin of Jingzhou, is only worthy of him.
So Wu Mingche was in one day, and no one could challenge Xiao Maha's position.
Fan Meng exhaled deeply, he could see the eager expressions of those guys around him, if he stood up and said a "no" word at this time, needless to say, he would definitely become the target of public criticism.
This short breath of effort, in Fan Meng's touch, but it was incomparably long, under the gaze of one after another, he still stepped forward: "Obey!" ”
At this time, there is no choice.
Feeling that Fan Meng finally lowered his head, the corners of Xiao Maha's mouth hooked slightly, turned around and said loudly: "Thanks to the support of the generals, Xiao Maha will definitely live up to expectations!" ”
"The Left Guard General is mighty!" This time, the generals did not hesitate at all, and said in unison.
And Wu Mingche shook his head slightly, looking at Fan Meng, who obviously still had an angry look on his face. This guy is a good fighter, but it's a pity that his brain is too confused. This position of the Metropolitan Governor, as long as his brother is still alive, he will not be able to sit in this life, Wu Mingche chose Xiao Maha also in order to be able to break his thoughts as soon as possible and not to become a tool used by others.
After all, with Chen Ji's always deep imperial thoughts, how could he allow the two brothers of the Fan family, one east and one west, to take charge of Nan Chen's two armies respectively? Or if you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't do this, so Fan Meng's covetousness for the position of the military governor of the six states on the Eastern Front was just wishful thinking.
Sometimes balance is far more important than what you do. Xiao Maha is a person personally selected by Wu Mingche, in order to appease Wu Mingche and these front-line soldiers, let Xiao Maha sit in this position, why not do it for Chen Ji.
What's more, Xiao Maha is calm, low-key internally, and doesn't like to argue, but externally he fights bravely and makes the enemy fearful, compared to Fan Meng, but it's not bad at all, not to mention the disadvantages of Xiao Maha's short connections, in Chen Ji's eyes, it is not an advantage.
Compared with the generals in the army, Chen Ji, who is the emperor of Nanchen, of course, does not know who will fight. It is precisely for this reason that there is a big difference between the general and the handsome, and the gap between the two sides in vision and insight is not half a star.
Wu Mingche squinted, Xiao Maha is an out-and-out handsome talent, and juniors such as Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie can be regarded as generals in Wu Mingche's opinion, and they may become handsome talents after training in the future, but what really makes him unable to see clearly is still that Li Xinchen.
This young man looks inconspicuous now, but every time he sees him, he always gives Wu Mingche a feeling of a slight chill down his spine, like an old fox in the mountains who has met a difficult opponent.
As for what kind of talent Li Xinchen is, Wu Mingche is difficult to evaluate, he has not shown his ability on the battlefield, but his intelligence and remarks that seem to be unintentional but always point to the key position make Wu Mingche always feel that this young man is different after tasting it carefully.
And now Wu Mingche prides himself on being handsome, and what he can't see through is only handsome. Thinking of this, Wu Mingche was shocked, and he didn't know a word that came to mind.
Hero.

"General Left Guard?" Li Xinchen looked at Xiao Shilian with a happy face, and raised his eyebrows. He had the impression that Xiao Maha seemed to be promoted to the title of the Third Duke directly from General Wu Yi because of his great merits, or there was one step in the middle, maybe it was this General Zuowei.
(Author's note: In history, Xiao Maha was named the general of the right guard after the battle of Luliang)
Xiao Shilian said with a smile: "General Wei continues to go up, but he is a general." This time Your Majesty is really interesting. ”
"You have the ability to say this sentence to your majesty in person." Li Xinchen poured a basin of cold water without hesitation, and pouted, "Now is not the time to be happy, wait a minute, in addition to General Xiao, Your Majesty is also indispensable to reward the rest of the generals." After all, on paper, we won the battle of Luliang. If Your Majesty is really interesting, the reward given to the rest of the generals will definitely be no worse, but if Your Majesty doesn't want to make General Xiao comfortable, this reward will definitely be biased. ”
"This ······" Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty will be able to embarrass Daddy?" ”
Li Xinchen smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's thoughts, how can you and I figure it out?" I can only say······ Hope. ”
