Chu Huan looked at Xuanyuan Shengcai with a smile and said, "Xuanyuan, General Han Bi recommended you to temporarily take the position of General Pingxi, what do you mean?" ”

Xuanyuan Sheng was a little stunned, but his eyebrows were obviously bright, and he said: "The last general has shallow qualifications, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." He didn't say no, he just said that it was hard to convince the public.

"Actually, Ben Governor doesn't think so." Chu Huan smiled and said: "Xuanyuan, you are from the Xuanyuan family, and you have been in the army since you were a child, and you are a real soldier. Although you have not been in the Pingxi Army, but there is a first time in everything, with your talent, it may not be impossible to take on such a heavy responsibility, not to mention that this is not really making you a Pingxi general, just a temporary replacement, before the will of the imperial court comes down, the governor thinks you can hold on. ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "If this is the case, the last general will not dare to give it a try!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Xuanyuan Shengcai was not polite, but they also understood that although he was the temporary general of Pingxi, the imperial court was afraid that it would be really difficult to choose a suitable candidate, since Chu Huan wanted to help Xuanyuan Shengcai ascend to the throne, he would naturally be sponsored by the imperial court when he turned around, Xuanyuan Shengcai was behind him after all, and the imperial court was only afraid that it would conform to the situation, and when the time came, a will came down and directly straightened Xuanyuan Shengcai.

Huo Wufeng clenched his fists, and just wanted to get up and refute, but now he had stuck to his body, and he was afraid that he would not be able to speak, and he would be rectified by Chu Huan again.

Although Xiong Ruhai was seriously injured, he also knew that the stakes were high, he knew that Han Ying and Fang Rushui had been centrifuged, Huo Wufeng had now been restrained, and the only thing he could refute now was himself, so he said forcefully: "I don't agree!" ”

Chu Huan looked down at Xiong Ruhai and asked with a smile, "Will Xiong Bi have an opinion?" ”

"Of course ......!" Xiong Ruhai wanted to speak loudly, but as long as his voice was loud, his chest hurt sharply, so he could only make his voice softer: "Xuanyuan Shengcai is certainly a son of the Xuanyuan family, but as far as the last general knows, the most manpower he commands is only a few hundred people, and the eight battalions of the Pingxi Army add up to nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, Xuanyuan Shengcai has never had the qualifications to command the army, how can he ...... How can he take on the post of General Pingxi like this? He had a pain in his chest, paused, and breathed two sighs before continuing: "Military affairs are not child's play, not the governor can decide in a few words, the Pingxi army is not a local army, it is subordinate to the military department, and no one can ...... before the appointment of the imperial court No one is qualified to command the Pingxi Army! ”

Chu Huan said lightly: "In this way, General Xiong is preparing to leave the Pingxi army leaderless?" Eight battalions, each in its own way, scattered in the sand? Hehe, how can this still be warn? ”

"If you really want to elect a temporary general, it should also be up to ...... Consulted within the Pingxi Army, the partial generals of the eight battalions were summoned and selected from the selection. "Xiong Ruhai panted like a cow," the last general didn't believe it, the partial generals of the eight battalions were all generals in a hundred battles, even if there were mediocre talents, but they were not as good as the eight partial generals, and none of them could not match Xuanyuan Shengcai? ”

Chu Huan got up, walked to Xiong Ruhai's side, put his hands behind his back, looked condescendingly, and saw Xiong Ruhai's big copper bell-like eyes also looked at him-for-tat, smiled slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, General Xiong thinks that this governor is not qualified to ask about Pingxi military affairs?" ”

Xiong Ruhai is not worthy of being a tough guy, under adversity, he is not afraid of Chu Huan, and said: "Yes, that's what I mean, the empire has a law, in order to prevent the local governor from monopolizing power, so the imperial court clearly stipulates that the governor is not allowed to meddle in military affairs, and the Pingxi Army is directly subordinate to the imperial court, and you are not qualified to interfere. ”

This is already very straightforward, and many people are slightly discolored, thinking that this Xiong Ruhai is really five big and three thick and has no brains, at this time, if he has to go against Chu Huan, naturally there will be no good results.

Chu Huan smiled and said: "General Xiong, do you know that when the governor left Beijing, he was summoned by the Holy Lord and given the power to make arbitrary decisions?" The will of the Holy Lord to the Governor is to stabilize Xiguan by all means, and the Pingxi army has no leader and has endangered Xiguan, so the Governor naturally wants to intervene. Touching his chin, he said lightly: "I won't tell you, the Holy Lord gave the Golden Sword of the Governor, and the Golden Sword is equivalent to the Holy Lord, if anyone makes waves in Xiguan, the eyes of the Governor recognize people, but the Golden Sword does not recognize people, what, does Xiong Biao want the Governor to ask for the Golden Sword?" ”

Xiong Ruhai opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, what he said just now was straightforward, but this Chu Huan was not ambiguous, and in terms of words, it was already a threat.

Seeing that Xiong Ruhai didn't speak, Chu Huan turned around and asked with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, General Han Bi recommended Xuanyuan Shengcai to temporarily replace General Pingxi, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Everything...... It's up to the adults to decide! ”

"You can't say that, but please come here, just don't say anything." Chu Huan said: "Everyone makes a statement, this is a major event in Xiguan, everyone is the parent official of Xiguan, such a big event, you should express your own opinions!" Looking directly at Fang Rushui, he asked, "General Fang Bi, what do you think?" ”

"Xuanyuan Sheng is only a young hero, born in Jiangmen, he will temporarily replace General Pingxi, the soldiers will not have much opinion, and we are willing to obey the dispatch!"

"What about your lords?"

"This ...... General Xuanyuan is indeed the best candidate. ”

Everyone knew that if they didn't express their stance today, they were afraid that no one would be able to go out, so they could only follow Chu Huan's meaning, Chu Huan smiled and heard that everyone agreed, so he turned around and said: "Xuanyuan Shengcai, since it is expected by everyone, you don't shirk, there are a few partial generals to help, before the will of the imperial court, you will temporarily take care of the military affairs of the Pingxi Army." ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai arched his hand and said: "The last general is willing to swear to serve the court!" ”

"Someone, take the order and the general's seal!" Chu Huan said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, someone from outside the door soon came in, it seemed that they had already been prepared, supported by a jade plate, Chu Huan handed over the Pingxi General Command and the General Seal to Xuanyuan Shengcai's hand in front of everyone, and said earnestly: "Xuanyuan, from this moment on, the Pingxi Army will be handed over to you for the time being, I just hope that you will have clear rewards and punishments, and don't let down the court!" ”

Xuanyuan Sheng put away the order and the general's seal, his eyebrows raised, his eyes showed gratitude, and then his eyes were cold, his eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Where is Huo Wufeng?" ”

Huo Wufeng was lowering his head, and when he heard Xuanyuan Shengcai calling his name, he raised his head and said a little distractedly: "I...... I'm here......! ”

Chu Huan said lightly: "General Huo Bi, Xuanyuan is now General Pingxi, you and he are superiors and subordinates, and you call yourself me in front of your boss, which is suspected of committing the following crimes!" ”

Huo Wufeng's body was shocked, he only felt that his head was a little dizzy, the development of things caught him off guard, and he really couldn't understand why Pingxijun changed his name and surname overnight.

"General Huo Bi, the general is calling you, you should come forward to pay a visit." Han Ying had already gotten up and reminded lightly.

Huo Wufeng was helpless, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "The last general will see the general!" ”

"Of course you have no objection to Niu Debi's testimony." Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes were sharp, "As a partial general of a battalion, you should love soldiers like sons and be loyal to the court, but you are bold enough to steal and sell military rations, the crime is unforgivable, come and pull Huo Wufeng down and behead him!" ”

Huo Wufeng's expression changed drastically, he suddenly raised his head, and said in horror: "What did you say? ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes were like ice, and four guards warriors had already rushed forward, like wolves and tigers, they were about to drag Huo Wufeng down, Huo Wufeng never expected that the first thing Xuanyuan Shengcai would do after he came to power was to take a knife on himself, and he was shocked by Xuanyuan Shengcai's iron-blooded ruthlessness, knowing that it was difficult to escape, the blood in his bones suddenly surged up, and before a few warriors approached, his body had already moved forward, and he went to grab Xuanyuan Shengcai's waist saber.

He is not slow, but it's a pity that Xuanyuan Shengcai's degree is faster, Huo Wufeng's hand hasn't touched the handle of the knife, Xuanyuan Shengcai's body has taken a step back, the knife flashed, between the lightning and flint, Xuanyuan Shengcai had already drawn the knife in his hand, Huo Wufeng was frightened, Xuanyuan Shengcai was already holding the knife with both hands, and he slashed down mercilessly at Huo Wufeng in the air.

Huo Wufeng's body was moving forward, but at this time, due to inertia, he couldn't retreat at all, plus he was distracted, and the quick knife was chopped, but he was just stunned for a while.

"Poof!"

Blood flew, blood splattered, and the big knife in Xuanyuan Shengcai's hand had already slashed at Huo Wufeng's head, and that head was like a watermelon, split in half.

"Oops......!"

Many officials present saw the big knife split their heads, their hearts and gallbladders were split, and they screamed, Xuanyuan Sheng stared at Huo Wufeng's bulging eyes, and said lightly: "Attack Shangguan, there is no forgiveness for killing!" Pulling out the knife, the blade was full of blood, the blade drooped, the blood slid down the blade to the blade, and then dripped to the ground like a drop of water, Huo Wufeng's body shook twice, fell to the ground, and then did not move.

Xuanyuan Sheng wiped the big knife on Huo Wufeng's corpse, and then ordered: "Drag the corpse down!" ”

The guard warrior stepped forward and dragged the corpse down, Xuanyuan Shengcai put the knife into the sheath, turned to Chu Huan and said: "Lord Governor, the incident happened suddenly, Huo Wufeng wanted to grab the knife and attack the last general, the last general could only defend himself, disturb the lord, and please forgive me!" ”

Chu Huan sighed: "This is an internal matter of the Pingxi Army, General Xuanyuan cleaned up the portal, where will the governor be blamed!" ”

Xuanyuan Sheng glanced at everyone, only to see that many officials were pale, their eyes were full of fear, and some people were already trembling.

He was expressionless, and walked to Xiong Ruhai's side, Xiong Ruhai was also shocked at this time, seeing Xuanyuan Sheng approaching, for some reason, he was really afraid in his heart, but he still stubbornly said: "You...... You still want to kill me? ”

"Why did I kill you?" Xuanyuan Shengcai actually showed a smile, "General Xiong, you are the general of the Kunzi battalion, they all say that you are a fierce general, originally the Kunzi battalion needs a fierce general like you, but this will see you now, there is really no way to deal with the military affairs of the Kunzi battalion, look at your injury, it is difficult to recover without three or five months, so let's do it, you Kunzi battalion general position, this will be withdrawn for the time being, and will let others do it for you, you will leave to return home tonight, I heard that you are from Tianshan Dao, then go back to Tianshan Dao, and recuperate well!" ”

"I'm ......!" Xiong Ruhai was in a hurry and coughed violently.

Xuanyuan Shengcai didn't wait for Xiong Ruhai to say, he had already instructed: "Come here, immediately pack up the salute for General Xiong Bi, hire a carriage for General Xiong Bi tonight, let him return to his hometown to recuperate, Xiong Bi will be a meritorious general, can't treat him badly, hire a good car, the fare is ......!" After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and said very generously: "I will pay for it in the future!" ”
