For Chen Sheng, Wu's remarks were just a vignette.

It's just a woman who is a little narrow-minded and short-sighted. For the sake of Zhang Xiu's face, people who can tolerate it.

What really matters is the current situation.

"Brother."

Chen Sheng took a few steps forward and came to the hospital bed, looking at Zhang Xiu on the bed, the dignified General Jianzhong, the husband of Xiliang, but at this moment he has become a sick tiger.

Moreover, it is still a sick tiger who doesn't know if he can get up again.

Looking at Zhang Xiu at this moment, Chen Sheng's eyes showed a little gloom.

"It's fate, after all." Seeing Chen Sheng's expression, Zou next to him couldn't help but be a little concerned and sighed.

"Whew."

After standing in the room for a long time, Chen Sheng finally couldn't stand it anymore, he really didn't want to see Zhang Xiu's weak appearance at this moment, so Chen Sheng exhaled, turned around and walked out.

"Brother, rest assured, Nanyang will not cause trouble. Sisters-in-law, nephews, I will take care of you too. If you do go, I will cut Cao Ying according to our same goal. ”

After walking out of the room, Chen Sheng stopped for a moment, said silently in his heart, and then walked out.

For the next three days, Chen Sheng was in Wancheng. He appeared from time to time to appease the army and stabilize the people's hearts. Because of this, although the news of Zhang Xiu's critical illness came, there was no turmoil in Wancheng or even in the entire Nanyang County.

Liu Pi and Gong Du of Runan even sent someone to escort a group of baggage to express their loyalty.

Anyway, Nanyang County can't be messed up.

However, Zhang Xiu still did not survive, and on the third day, he died of illness. Before he died, he didn't leave a word, just turned into a corpse in his sleep.

At that time, the entire Wancheng fell into grief. Those Xiliang elite soldiers who followed Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu for two generations wept one after another.

Crying throughout Wancheng.

Although Wu is narrow-minded, at that moment, he also cried like a tearful person. Not to mention the three brothers Zhang Quan, who lost their father at a young age, and the grief is indescribable.

Zou also had red eyes and couldn't stop crying.

Hu Che'er, Chen Feng, Qian Chong, Fang Gu and other Zhang Xiu's old departments were even more mournful, and even Hu Che'er was so sad that he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.

At that moment, the entire city of Wancheng was plunged into an earthquake, and most of the people could not keep calm and composed. Except for Chen Sheng.

No matter what outsiders think, at that moment, Chen Sheng did a very good job. He was very calm, there was no smile on his face, and there was no sadness, and he decisively gave the order to put away Zhang Xiu.

Under Chen Sheng's command, Zhang Xiu was cleaned, put on clean clothes, put in a coffin, and parked in General Jianzhong's mansion.

There is no way, Zhang Xiu can't be buried for the time being.

Because the war with Cao Ying could break out at any time. If Zhang Xiu is buried outside the city, I am afraid it will be bad.

Under Chen Sheng's calm without joy or sorrow, the entire Wancheng quickly shook from the loss of the boss and collapsed, and calmed down.

The entire Wancheng has returned to its former past.

Fifth, it is said. The sun was shining and the sky was cloudless.

Under this brilliant sunshine, Chen Sheng's mansion is like bathing in golden light, solemn and magnificent.

In the front yard, Chen Sheng stood still, he was dressed in plain clothes, facing the north, and his face was the same as at this time, neither joy nor sadness.

"Ming Gong, the generals have already gathered in the hall."

At this moment, Zhou Cang walked in from outside and said. Zhou Cang is still the same, like an iron tower, very strong.

Zhou Cang looked at Chen Sheng's back, and there was something strange in his heart.

During this time, Chen Sheng became a little moody. Just like Zhang Xiu's death, Chen Sheng had neither joy nor sorrow.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Sheng is somewhat unkind. My brother died of illness, and not even a single tear fell. Only a few people know that Chen Sheng often laments and is sentimental alone.

Only in front of people, Chen Sheng will show a strange calmness.

Therefore, Zhou Cang knew that Chen Sheng was not unkind, but put away his true heart. Because of the different identities, when Zhang Xiu died, Chen Sheng automatically became the lord of Nanyang and the general of Jianzhong.

Every move is related to the survival of one party's forces, and the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang and Runan. What a heavy responsibility.

"Let's go." Chen Sheng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then turned around and walked out. Walking is not in a hurry or slow, and it is very calm.

"No."

Zhou Cang promised and followed closely.

"Ming Gong, you summoned the generals at this time, is there anything wrong?" As he walked, Zhou Cang couldn't help but ask.

Since Chen Sheng became the lord of Nanyang, he only summoned the generals on the day of Zhang Xiu's death, and that was to mourn Zhang Xiu.

And this time was the first time Chen Sheng had officially summoned the generals, and Zhou Cang felt that something big would happen.

"Rectify the military power."

Chen Sheng answered Zhou Cang's question, his words were soft, but with unparalleled determination, and the sharpness that was enough to pierce the sky.

"Rectify the military power?"

Chen Sheng replied so decisively and so sharply, but after Zhou Cang heard it, he was taken aback and blurted out.

"Ming Gong, is this a bit too hasty? This is a suspicion of imminent seizure of military power. Immediately, Zhou Cang expressed his concern.

In the past few days, Zhou Cang followed behind Chen Sheng every day, and had a deep understanding of the military power configuration of Wancheng in Nanyang County under Zhang Xiu's rule.

To be honest, Zhang Xiu's allocation of troops is very unreasonable.

He only has 14,500 troops under his command, but he has the right to read and lead the troops, such as Hu Che'er, Qian Chong, Chen Feng's lieutenant generals, and captains, but there are more than ten of them.

These lieutenant generals, captains, or eight hundred, or five or six hundred, are not under their command. Although the Xiliang soldiers are brave and good at fighting, in such a situation, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted is only seven or eight percent of the original.

Therefore, rectifying military power is a top priority at the moment.

However, the reason why Zhang Xiu tolerated these dozen or so well-known lieutenant generals and lieutenants was because these lieutenant generals and lieutenants were all veterans of the Zhang family who had followed Zhang since the Zhang Ji era.

All of them are unruly and hold military power. If it is rectified, some people will be deprived of military power, and some will be strengthened.

Such drastic reforms could cause turmoil. And Zhang Xiu herself is even less enterprising, so she tolerates this unreasonable existence.

As the enterprising lord of Nanyang, Chen Sheng's rectification of military power is predictable. But isn't it too rushed?

You must know that the news of Cao Hong's death may have spread to the north now, and Cao Ying's army can be predicted. If it is because of the rectification of military power, which leads to internal turmoil and the failure to resist Cao Ying, is this too much to gain and lose?

Therefore, Zhou Cang seemed worried.

"Since I have become the Lord of the Southern Sun, then everything can only be carried out according to my will. I need an army with a more unified and closer command, so the generals will cooperate with me, not me with the generals. Therefore, I have to rectify the military power, otherwise, how can I resist Cao Ying? And to contend with Cao Ying, a huge force is needed. At the very least, it is necessary to have a state, which is called the power of the king's business. If I don't have this courage, how can I command Nanyang and even build a huge force? So, this is the first step, the first step that must be taken. At the beginning of the future, my orders cannot be disobeyed, and those who do not obey will be deposed. Chen Sheng said, his voice was very cold, like the cold wind of December, and the cold was biting.

The firmness, the boldness, and the unparalleled it.
