Come to think of it. This week, Xiongqi looked at the overcast sky outside and said, "Come on, prepare a sedan chair." ”

It turned out that Xiongqi wanted to visit Wang Nuo's mansion this week to discuss the defense of Kyoto, and at this time, a family member from outside came to report.

"Lord Wang Nuo asked to see him. ”

This week, Xiongqi just wanted to visit Wang Nuo, but he didn't expect this Lord Wang Nuo to visit in person, and hurriedly ordered: "Please!"

After a while, I saw that Lord Wang Luo had a big belly and walked slowly from the corridor with three swaying steps.

Both of them are old acquaintances, and they don't have to be polite when they meet for many years. That Zhou Xiongqi asked straight to the point: "I don't know why Brother Wang came this time?"

Wang Nuo said: "Some time ago, the emperor was hunting, and Dong Bufan, a traitor, dared to snatch the emperor's gold and shoot arrows in front of everyone. is so arrogant and domineering, doesn't Brother Zhou think it's strange? . ”

Brother Zhou smiled faintly and said to Wang Nuo: "What kind of temperament this Dong Bufan is, you still don't know? The beheading of officials below the fourth grade was not even reported to the imperial court. Fierce and domineering character. That day, this man snatched one of the little emperor's golden arrows, this kind of murderer who has been in the wilderness all the year round, is used to being rude and rude. The military power in Kyoto is under the control of the emperor, and he can't afford to make much waves. ”

That Wang Nuo shook his head with a sad face, and said: "This is a bad word, although there is no vision, but a glimpse of the whole leopard, although this person was born roughly, in fact, his heart is as careful as hair. To be able to act in this way in full view of everyone must have something to rely on. ”

Zhou Xiongqi laughed, Huo Ran stood up, although he was already fifty-five years old, and he was a prime minister of extreme people, but the vast building at this station was low, and the wind and clouds changed color. The god of war in the army when he was in the army a few decades ago was not old.

I could only hear Zhou Xiong's loud voice ringing like the morning bell: "Dong Bufan, a vulgar person, only knows that he is domineering and arrogant, and he is thirsty for killing. Don't you know that his ability to scare others, in front of me Zhou Xiongqi is just a scoundrel. ”

"That Qin Shubai spent a lot of effort and only got four deputy commanders in the Beijing Division Forbidden Army, what is it, even if he and Dong Bufan are in cahoots, they are only half, and they are all deputy functions to influence the situation. ”

Seeing that Zhou Xiongqi didn't think so, Wang Nuo was even more anxious, and grabbed the words and said: "Although they are all deputy positions, the thirteen Taibao under you can only completely control the three divisions of 30,000 soldiers, soldiers and soldiers, and the other seven departments will have hidden dangers if they really come to quell the chaos and suppress the chaos." You have to be on guard. ”

Although Zhou Xiongqi was full of confidence, he was by no means a reckless person, and said at the moment: "Brother Wang, relax, these ten soldiers and horses are located in eight gates of the capital, and there are 20,000 people guarding the inner city of Kyoto, and there are 10,000 dragon and tiger troops led by my righteous son and tiger idiot Xu Pestle in the royal inner city. ”

"I put this chief and deputy commander are all three of the thirteen Taibao, two of which are in the inner city of Kyoto, and one is placed in the Yongding Gate, which guards the main road in Kyoto, which is foolproof. ”

When Wang Nuo heard this, although he had no evidence, the scene where Dong Bufan snatched the little emperor's golden arrow was still vivid, and he always felt that this was a breeze before the storm was about to come.

But listening to Zhou Xiongqi's words, although he was too full, the arrangement was indeed leaky, as long as the military power in Kyoto was in hand, even if there was any rebellion, it would be difficult to continue in front of the mountains and seas of troops.

If you talk about this energetic person, the "Thirteen Taibao" under Zhou Xiongqi are all strong men in the army, and they are all born and died, and they are killed from the pile of dead.

And that week's heroic son Tiger idiot Xu Pestle, as his name suggests, is extremely straightforward and unsophisticated, but extremely loyal, and his strength is even more powerful, and he has been the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army for six years.

Zhou Xiongqi also secretly thought in his heart, the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army conducts a competition and selection of all Chinese and Han every three years, and everyone in the military can sign up to participate, and the leader is in the position, and the rest are promoted in the army according to their ranks.

In previous years, the forces in the capital competed for this position, but this year is very different.

It was really surprising that Liu Bei of Shu actually sent his own five tiger generals, Huang Zhong, to participate in the battle for the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

This Liu Bei is located in the southwest of Shu, and his fierce generals are like clouds, but the most famous one is the five tiger generals. Huang Zhong is old, he is already in the age of the sixtieth year, it stands to reason that his blood has decayed, and he can't fight, even if his strength is still exquisite, it is difficult to fight for a long time.

But this Huang Zhong is old and strong, or a quick temper, in this southwest border has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, as long as there is a war at the border, this old Huang Zhong is always the first to jump out to grab this urgent vanguard.

It is also unstoppable above the battle array, and one rider is a thousand. It is said that this man is also quite scheming. It can be regarded as both wisdom and bravery.

Just because the princes from all walks of life are nominally loyal to the royal family, but they all support the army and respect themselves, and they do not listen to the dispatch of everything, only for their own territory to recruit forces, expand soldiers and horses, and some even dig copper mines to mint coins by themselves, the people only know the local princes, and do not know the orthodoxy of the royal family in the world.

The Emperor Tiangao was far away, and all the princes were in all directions around the Central Plains, so they rarely interacted with people in Kyoto.

Some time ago, Dong Bufan entered Beijing, and everyone knew that he was rude and arrogant, and he didn't know how to read etiquette. I don't know what the officials of the Ministry of Rites do to eat, and after teaching for so many days, they still act like a wild man.

This Liu Bei is said to be gentle and benevolent, thinking that Huang Zhong has been under his command for many years, he must also have some rules, and he should never be like the Li Jueguo Temple brought by Dong Bufan from Xiliang.

This Li Jue and Guo Temple are the leaders of the personal guards brought by Dong Bufan from Xiliang, and when they came, they relied on the power of this Taishi Qin Junbai and what bullshit Heavenly Master Dong Bufan to, and became the deputy commanders of two of the guards in the capital.

Since the two took office, they have been separated and entangled with their own 13th Taibao, and various matters have always been obstructed and restricted, and there have been many quarrels, and once they even almost made a move, which is really annoying.

It is said that both of them will participate in this competition this time, and if they rank high, they will be rewarded for their merits, and it seems that they want to be the orthodox leader of a military horse.

But how can there be such an easy good thing in the world, his thirteen Taibao are all famous heroes and heroes, and they have all signed up for the competition, so it seems that it is better to take advantage of the competition to secretly let his thirteenth Taibao get rid of these two people, and take a break from Dong Bufan's arrogance.

Although the rules of this competition are to show their strengths, they need to stop at the point, but what is on the battlefield can be done to the extreme. Even if he killed Li Jueguo Temple by mistake, it was nothing more than a salary cut and punishment, and which of his Taibao lacked any gold and silver wealth. It's just a small thing.

Look at the Lord Wang Nuo next to him, he is a family of eunuchs, with a big belly and poop, shaking three times in one step. Who knows the bloody cruelty on this battlefield. Although he is his old friend for many years, he always has some contempt for this civil official Zhou Xiongqi.

Although he is also a civil official, and he is the head of the civil government and the prime minister. But he was the Shenwu general who galloped the world back then, and this Huahan land has its own blood and sweat, and it also has its own merits in breaking the territory.

Civil officials are always arguing and chattering when encountering problems, one will have one idea, and one will worry about another. Don't you know that the affairs of this world are nothing more than the affairs of swords and soldiers, as long as the military power is in hand, and they are afraid of any traitor, even if they have any rebellion.

There are also grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes, chickens and dogs, that is, a group of rabble are fighting and killing all day long, making trouble and killing people in the capital, robbing each other of territory, some gangs still have some constraints, and some are no longer a few to do evil things.

He has repeatedly instructed the Inspectorate to strictly restrain him, but he has been obstructed by the traitors of the court. Always grasp the small and magnify, and many cases are closed. In the long run, this Kyoto is not peaceful, and there is no talk of the world's great governance.

However, there are not a few energetic people in this Jianghu sect, although the good and the bad are uneven, but the large number is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

Just thinking of this, I saw the family outside the door rushing to the door, and when I got close to it, I knelt down and reported urgently.

"Big things are not good!"
