Jiang Lin looked slightly stunned, he had already heard that Qin Huai valued Ling Feng, and when he saw it today, he didn't just value it, it was simply reused.

However, Qin Huai had already made up his mind, and he didn't have much to say, so he could only prevaricate casually: "Since the Taishi has already decided, then the last general also supports General Ling's promotion to the rank of Senate General." ”

He turned to look at Ling Feng and said with a smile: "Senator Ling, please give me more help in the future." ”

"Well said."

Ling Feng returned the salute.

This time he no longer refused, not only did he not refuse, but he smiled.

Liu Hai saw this, his face turned pale, he really wanted to rush up and beat Ling Feng now, what kind of person is this, he obviously wants this position, and he pretends to be obscure and refuses, hateful.

And Liu Hai's thoughts also represented everyone, and suddenly many people threw contemptuous glances at Ling Feng. And Ling Feng didn't care about this, he just shrugged his shoulders and smiled at everyone.

"Alright, two generals, please take your seats."

Qin Huai got up and said, "Next, let's talk about the second thing. ”

After Ling Feng and Jiang Lin were seated (Huang Daoyi was still standing), Qin Huai said: "Last night, a total of 40,000 iron cavalry attacked my camp, and after the battle, they have fled to the east, a small county town called Yuyang City, two hundred miles away. ”

"I originally wanted to transfer local officers and soldiers to eliminate them, but I was afraid that the local officers and soldiers would not be their opponents, so I must immediately send a general to assist the local officers and soldiers to annihilate this gang of rebels and eliminate future troubles forever."

"I wonder if any of you want to go?"

Huang Daoyi came out of the queue and said: "Taishi, please let me fight, the last general will definitely exterminate the anti-thieves and make meritorious contributions!" ”

In fact, at this time, Liu Hai, who was sitting under Huang Daoyi, also got up, and he was also about to ask for battle, but as soon as he got up halfway, he was preempted by Huang Daoyi, and he had no choice but to retract it.

No one saw this scene.

Qin Huai said: "General Huang, you are the chief general in command of an army of 200,000, how can you bend down to conquer the thief, you can't go, let's sit down." ”

"Taishi."

Qin Huai waved his hand: "Needless to say, sit down." ”

"No."

Huang Weiyi sighed and slowly sat down.

At this time, Liu Hai hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Taishi, the last general will ask for battle." ”

Looking at the person who stood up, Qin Huai asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you are bangs, right?" ”

"Hui Taishi, it is the last general."

Qin Huai said: "I heard that you led your troops to beat Chen Fang away last night, it's really a great contribution, I should reward you well." ”

It was obviously a word of appreciation, but when it fell on Liu Hai's ears, it was extremely harsh, and he could feel a slight chill on his neck. It's a wonderful feeling, it comes and goes, and then disappears in an instant.

Liu Hai was a little apprehensive and said: "Taishi, this is what the last general should do, and the last general will not dare to take credit." ”

"Well, it's good to be humble."

Qin Huai's mind was difficult to understand, he stared at the bangs for a few breaths, and then said, "Since you want to ask for battle, then." ”

Before Qin Huai finished speaking, Ling Feng stood up: "Taishi, General Liu's courage is commendable, and he can be a model for all generals, but I am worried that he has few soldiers and is not the opponent of Chen Fang and others. ”

Liu Hai frowned: "Senator Ling, how do you know that I am not Chen Fang's opponent?" I know a little bit about him, and if I play, I'm going to be able to take him down. ”

After saying this, he looked at Qin Huai and promised: "Taishi, the last general is willing to make a military order, and he will definitely capture the thief and general alive!" ”

"Okay, needless to say."

Qin Huai looked at Ling Feng and said, "Senator Ling, I think Liu Hai can take on this position, so it's decided." ”

Liu Hai was overjoyed and said loudly: "Thank you, Taishi!" ”

He was waiting for Qin Huai to agree, it was just a pretext to exterminate Chen Fang, the real purpose was to jump out of the fire pit and never stay in the army again.

Maybe some people don't understand, but Liu Hai knows very well in his heart that Ling Feng has been promoted, which is much bigger than his current official position, and it is easy to retaliate at any time, he doesn't want to live in fear all day long.

And Ling Feng also saw through Liu Hai's mind before he came out to stop it, just as Liu Hai thought, with his current official position, it was very simple to get rid of Liu Hai, but Qin Huai intervened like this, but it was not easy to do.

"No."

Ling Feng returned to his seat.

He secretly said in his heart, 'Old things know how to make trouble'.

If Qin Huai could hear this, he would definitely have a crooked nose; He did this completely for Ling Feng, because he knew the relationship between the two, and transferring Liu Hai away at this time was not just to clear the enemy for Ling Feng?

Another point, he is about to arrive at Surabaya Pass, and he doesn't want another traitor like Zhou Meng to appear in the army, so since he can't convict Liu Hai, he will take it away, out of sight and out of mind, so as not to make a mistake.

The banquet continued

The dishes have gone through three rounds, and the wine has passed five flavors.

After making an appointment for tea, Qin Huai got up and walked to the map hanging behind him, and said: "I forgot to tell you one thing, Jiang Yiyuan personally guarded this card after capturing Surabaya Pass, and he asked Pang Yi to lead the army back to Huai County, it seems that he wants to attack Qiang County, Chu County, and Qingliang County, in order to pacify the rear as soon as possible." ”

Walking to the middle of the big tent, Qin Huai frowned: "Now we have lost two counties in a row, if these three counties fall again, the northern Xinjiang will be completely finished, Jiang Yiyuan is no one, as long as he has money and food in hand, he can immediately conjure up a million troops, we have to guard against it." ”

Jiang Lin snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Forgive the last general, Taishi, you are too ambitious for others, although there are few soldiers and horses in the three northern counties, they are not so easy to capture, and my army will arrive at Surabaya Pass immediately, I think Jiang Yiyuan's good days are over." ”

Ling Feng shook his head secretly, this Jiang Lin thought too simply, if Jiang Yiyuan was so easy to deal with, he would not lose Surabaya Pass. It seems that he is a reckless person, and he has a fight with his younger brother Jiang Yun, he is simple-minded and has developed limbs, and such a person often does not live long.

Ling Feng thought so in his heart.

Qin Huai ignored him, but continued: "Even Huai County and Surabaya County can't hold it, let alone these three counties, I don't have any hope, but before they take these three counties, I want to capture Surabaya County first, if you have any good suggestions, you may wish to put them forward, and when you arrive at Surabaya Pass, you can implement them." ”

Just when everyone was thinking hard about countermeasures, Ling Feng stood up with a big grin and said, "Master, plans often can't catch up with changes, I think it's better to wait until the front of the battle, and there will be no results at this time." ”

Ling Feng's words were quite rude, Qin Huai said to discuss, but he said that he didn't discuss, at least it was rude, and at worst it was arrogance!

He looked at Ling Feng, if someone else said what he said just now, Qin Huai would definitely be furious, and maybe he would even drive the person who spoke out of the big tent and punish him for disturbing the morale of the army; However, when Ling Feng said this, he couldn't get angry.

Because he knew that Ling Feng had always been humble and polite, and he would never be untargeted, since he said so, there must be a reason.

"Okay, then the matter will be put on hold for the time being."

Qin Huai raised the bottle and said: "Anyway, last night was able to repel the rebels, which can be regarded as a great increase in the prestige of my northern army, I would like to respect you with this respect." With that, he smiled and drank it down.

"Come on, everyone, drink to your heart's content!"

"Drink!"

Only at this point did the banquet get on track
