Zhao Ning's eyes sank.

His figure flashed.

Xu Zaixun suddenly sensed the strong danger and secretly said that it was not good.

In the next moment, his body was punched on the lower abdomen by Zhao Ning, who was advancing with mirror water steps, and he was hit hard!

Xu Zaixun's body was arched like a shrimp, his eyes were protruding, his mouth was round and open, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

At this moment, Xu Zaixun felt that his qi was surging, his five internal organs were shifted, and the strength of his body was like a flood that discharged the floodgates, dissipating cleanly in an instant.

With just one punch, his whole body lost his strength, and his chest was stuffy and nauseous.

grabbed Xu Zaixun's hair, whose eyes were white, and dragged him away like a dead dog, Zhao Ning didn't look at those civil officials whose faces had changed drastically, and walked straight out of the white wind outlet:

"Get out of the white wind for me! I was going to ask who the leading civilian official who came back to approve military merits was who actually connived at his officials and slandered the Yanmen army who served the country in a bloody war to rebel!"

Shocked by Zhao Ning's domineering methods, those civil officials looked at each other and were speechless.

Some of them were hard-boned, and they wanted to make a head for the civilian group, but at this time, hundreds of armor soldiers rushed to them, surrounded them in the middle, and pressed the handle of their knives one by one, their eyes were pressing, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

Obviously, if they didn't follow Zhao Ning, these armor soldiers would help them.

The hard-hearted civil officials wanted to shout, but when their eyes touched the faces of those armor soldiers, they really understood what it meant to be a murderous aura cultivated from the pile of dead, and they were all stunned in their hearts.

"Let's go, go to see the governor, and see if Zhao Ning dares to be so arrogant when he arrives in front of the governor!"

"Yes, if you dare to beat the fourth-rank official of the imperial court in public, I don't believe that Zhao Ning can escape punishment!"

"Go and ask the governor to administer justice for us!"

Some civil officials of the family cheered each other up, and also found an excuse for themselves to submit to Zhao Ning.

Most of the Yanmen army has already passed through Fengming Mountain, and is on the way back to Yanmen Pass in the south, and there are not many troops temporarily stationed in Fengming Mountain, but Zhao Xuanji is here to verify the military merits with the governor.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Kong Yanhua, the new governor of the political council, sat down with Zhao Xuanji, and was talking about which pass was the greatest military merit when conquering Fengming Mountain.

"The terrain in Baifengkou is not conducive to the deployment of troops, and the investment of both sides is limited, and the degree of fierce fighting is probably limited, right? On the contrary, in the Black Stone Valley, the scale of the battle between the two sides is large, and the soldiers are killed and wounded innumerable, and Beihu has invested the most strength. ”

Kong Yanhua touched his beard, and the old god said, because the faction is in charge of major affairs, so the words they say are the truth, and they are unquestionable and irrefutable:

"The troops fighting in the Black Rock Valley attracted all the Northern Hu military forces, making the Northern Hu think that the Black Stone Valley was the main direction of attack, which led to the emptiness of the Beihu forces in Baifengkou and exposed the flaws.

This gave the Yanmen army attacking Baifengkou an opportunity to take advantage of. The Yanmen army at Baifengkou was able to break the enemy, but it was just a normal battle, and the proportion of casualties among soldiers was not too large.

"On the contrary, it is the part that conquered the Black Rock Valley Pass, and the proportion of casualties is extremely high. This also corroborates Xiaguan's point of view. Therefore, the first achievement of this battle should be the part of conquering the Black Stone Valley Pass.

"What does the Metropolitan think?"

His words were strong, and Zhao Xuanji's face was gloomy.

Kong Yanhua was born in a poor family, and before him, there was no poor official who became a governor of the country, and he was able to become a governor because of the fact that in the process of family disputes, several governors fell one after another because of dereliction of duty.

This gave the emperor an excuse to promote and reuse non-family officials

——In the struggle between the generals and the men, the dereliction of duty and character problems of the family officials exposed not only caused both the family and the generals to lose a large number of official positions, but also gave the emperor an excuse to "rectify the discipline" and promote non-family officials, so that the power of the poor officials grew day by day.

This was the emperor's wishful thinking.

Kong Yanhua was deeply trusted by the emperor and regarded as the emperor's right-hand man, and when the prime minister would hardly leave the center, the first major event he took office as governor was to approve the military exploits of the Yanmen army.

Zhao Xuanji listened to Kong Yanhua's words, and knew what the other party had in mind: to highlight the military exploits of An Siming's department.

"The detailed battle situation of the battle of Fengming Mountain, my father has explained it in detail in the military report to His Majesty, and after the governor arrived at Fengming Mountain, my father also told you.

"Why did the Beihu army rout, where did the defense line break through, and who in the army did not know?

Zhao Xuanji, as the Metropolitan Governor of the Metropolitan Mansion and the first person in the military, may not even take Xu Minglang in his eyes now, so how could he let Kong Yanhua be unbelievable?

Kong Yanhua was not angry, and said with a smile:

"What was the battle situation that day, how could the lower officials not know what the governor said, but after the lower officials arrived at Fengming Mountain, they also went to ask other generals. Their statements are not all the same as those of the Grand Duke. ”

The chill on Zhao Xuanji's face gradually rose, which means that An Siming and his subordinates, ignoring the facts, had another explanation. Is this something he can tolerate?

"Who is lying about the military plane, Master Kong said. My father wants to see if they dare to tell right and wrong and ignore military regulations when they come to my father!"

Kong Yanhua laughed twice, "Most of the governors are angry, who these generals are, the lower officials can't say." This is also for the internal unity of the Yanmen Army, if there is civil strife, it will not be good.

"The Metropolitan Governor only needs to know that these generals do exist, and that their voices have reached the heavens. ”

"The military rules of the Metropolitan Governor are strict and majestic, and in front of you, the voice of the Yanmen Army is naturally the same...... Even if there is another voice for a while, after a while, there will be no more, right?

"Kong Yanhua!" Zhao Xuan was furious, "Are you suggesting that this guild will eliminate dissidents?!"

Kong Yanhua waved his hand again and again, looking like he had never done this, and seeing that Zhao Xuanji's anger was unabated, he changed his words: "I won't mention this matter for the time being." Governor, according to what you said, the first person in this battle should be General Zhao Ning?"

"Do you have questions?"

Kong Yanhua objected: "The lower officials can't ask?"

"Then you just ask, don't beat around the bush!"

Kong Yanhua nodded: "Since the governor of the capital is righteous, then the lower officials will not be shy about it." General Zhao Ning is just a newcomer to the army, and he was only in the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm at the beginning, how can he influence the battle situation?

"In the military merit book of the Grand Governor, General Zhao Ning killed three people in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, eight people in the middle stage, and more than 20 people in the early stage, dare to ask how General Zhao Ning did it?"

This has touched Zhao Xuanji's bottom line, he has psychological expectations for the emperor to accept the Zhao family's military power, but he can't tolerate such an obliteration of Zhao Ning's merits!

Without Zhao Ning, how could this battle be won?

As the military governor and the head of the Zhao family, if he can't even guarantee Zhao Ning's merits and fairness, he can change his name to Zhao Wuneng!

Zhao Xuanji's body was cold: "Zhao Ning charged into battle, taking the lead, but whenever he goes into battle, he will inevitably move forward with blood, cut the general and break the formation, and the soldiers of the three armies are obvious to all! If he hadn't fought for his life, how could the army break through the white wind mouth?!"

"Kong Yanhua, don't forget, you are the governor of Daqi, and the power in your hands is not only used for you to seek personal glory and future, but you also have to be more or less righteous when you shoulder the country's social welfare!"

Zhao Xuanji's saliva sprayed all over his face, but Kong Yanhua was still smiling, and he didn't wipe it, and he reversed right and wrong very firmly:

"In the battle of the Black Stone Valley, the Metropolitan Governor can question the verification of the lower officials, and the lower officials can't have any doubts about General Zhao Ning's merits?

"The place in Baifengkou, Xia Guan has seen it, as long as Beihu has insufficient troops, it will not be so difficult to overcome. General Zhao Ning's first merit could not be recognized by the lower officials. ”

quarreled with civil officials, Zhao Xuanji never won, this is the other party's specialty. The disciples of the generals are good at killing the enemy on the battlefield, but they are not good at fighting with others, and they can't even guarantee the military merits they have worked so hard for.

This made Zhao Xuan extremely angry, and his face was blue and purple.

"If Baifengkou is so easy to overcome, I'll defend it, you will attack it, how about we try it?"

At this time, accompanied by an indifferent voice, Zhao Ning walked into the big tent.

He squinted at Kong Yanhua:

"Participating in the governor's political affairs, you have the cultivation of the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, since you don't believe in my military exploits, you and I will each select five hundred armor soldiers to fight a real battle, do you dare?"

Seeing Zhao Ning enter the account, Zhao Xuanji was overjoyed, and his depressed aura was replaced by the light of hope in an instant.

The Zhao family is full of people, and Zhao Ning is such a superb product that is not only particularly capable of fighting, but also especially capable of intrigue with others. Now that Zhao Ning is here, Zhao Xuan is very sure that Kong Yanhua will no longer be able to take advantage of half of it.

"This is General Zhao Ning? Sure enough, he is young and romantic, and he is a talent. ”

Kong Yanhua maintained a smiling look, "But this official is discussing with the Metropolitan Governor, with General Zhao's rank, he is not qualified to intervene, right?"

Zhao Ning sat down directly behind the small case opposite Kong Yanhua, made it clear that he was in court, and said lightly:

"The strong in the army are respected, Zhao is not talented, because of the first merit in the two wars, admired by the three armies, and now he is temporarily appointed by the governor of the capital to serve as the envoy of the middle gate, and he can participate in major military events. ”

Zhao Xuanji laughed, looking like there was no such thing, but the old man could be appointed immediately, "What the middle gate envoy said is right. ”

Kong Yanhua's eyes were low, and his heart was unhappy, but he was helpless.

When the general is out on a campaign, the head of the army can be temporarily appointed according to the needs of the war, and the squad will be formally appointed or revoked after returning to the court.

Now that the Yanmen Army has not returned to Yanmen Pass, the military affairs have not ended, and everything is up to Zhao Xuanji.

At this time, the officials who were traveling with Xu Zaixun came in and told Kong Yanhua about Zhao Ning's actions before.

Kong Yanhua's eyes changed, and he was secretly annoyed, Xu Zaixun was beaten, he lost face in public, and his face was damaged, so he immediately looked at Zhao Ning and asked: "General Zhao, innocently beating the imperial court officials, do you still have a law in your eyes?"

Zhao Ning disagreed: "Military law is naturally implemented in the army. ”

Zhao Xuanji took over the conversation: "One hundred military sticks, and it will be executed after returning to Yanmen Pass." ”

Kong Yanhua: "......"

If he wants to believe that Zhao Xuanji will beat Zhao Ning, his head doesn't have to grow on his shoulders.

Even if he monitors the execution, the soldiers who beat the military stick can make him look very ruthless on the surface, but in fact, Zhao Ning has no.

Zhao Ning forced Kong Yanhua to look at him: "Xu Zaixun is not ashamed, insulting our three armies, blaspheming the soldiers who died in battle, and the last general can't bear it." In the same way, you Kong Yanhua has no heroes in your eyes, and I can't sit idly by and slander the soldiers who conquered the white wind mouth.

"If you have a kind, just play against me in the main formation of Baifengkou, so as to prove that what you say is indeed credible, and not fart. ”

Kong Yanhua flicked his sleeves and said proudly: "Presumptuous! This official is involved in political affairs, how can he fight with you?"

Zhao Ning sneered:

"Don't you dare? If you don't dare, the Metropolitan Governor will write to the imperial court, and you will come to verify the military merits, but you will only talk about it, and you will not even dare to have the least confirmation. At that time, Your Majesty will think that you have done a good job?"

Kong Yanhua looked like why I should be provoked by you, and said to Zhao Xuanji: "The capital governor ......"

"This prince agrees with the opinion of the envoy of the Central Gate, and the approval of military merits must always convince the officers and men of the three armies, why don't you dare to do something practical when participating in political affairs?

Kong Yanhua: "......"

The scarlet-robed official who came to report that Xu Zaixun was beaten, saw that Kong Yanhua was targeted, and hurriedly stood up for him: "Governor, you and General Zhao are forcing the governor to comply......

"Shut up, what are you, here is your share of talking?" Zhao Ning shouted angrily, "The big tent of the Chinese army, how can you allow idlers to stay." Come on, blast this bastard out for me!"

Scarlet Officer: "......"
