Compared with the loud and noisy people outside the mansion, the atmosphere in the general's mansion in Chaotian Pass at this moment can be said to be dignified to the extreme.

In the huge central hall, there were only nine people sitting at the moment. Above the throne was a restless, bloated and obese middle-aged man, and the imperial robe of the Daxing Empire was tightly tightened on his body, looking very inappropriate. The already bloodless face was even paler, and his small eyes kept peeking at the people on the left and right sides of the hall, and his hands wiped the dense sweat that kept oozing from his forehead from time to time. Chaotianguan is too guarded by Wu Youfang, vassals and elegant by nature, likes to collect elegant things, Zhida is comb, very unpopular with the officialdom of Xingguo, and it is rumored that the high-ranking uncle in the capital worships the brothers, because of this relationship to sit in the current position.

At this time, Wu Taishou no longer has his usual elegance and calmness, even when he sits, his trembling strands are not stopping, and he keeps scolding his mother in his heart. Said that it was just to come to this bitter cold Chaotian Pass and walk on it, and after the gilding, returning to Beijing must be a steady step, rising step by step, who knew that it would encounter this major event that has not been encountered in a hundred years, it is really a blood mold that has fallen for eight lifetimes. Wu Taishou is now repentant, but the matter has come to this point, he knows that in addition to the uncle and brother who are far away in the sky, he can only save himself from the gods of the Great General's Mansion in front of him.

"Several... Several generals..."Wu Taishou couldn't speak, the white towel sweat handkerchief in his hand wiped the sweat non-stop, and he was about to wring out the water. You see... What to do now".

The few people under the hall are the few people who returned to Chaotian Pass from the Northwest Grassland Battlefield, although they are also very uncomfortable in their hearts, and they have all kinds of moods, but they are not as panicked as Wu Youfang. Wang Wenhua, the second eldest of the eight, looked at Wu Taishou, who was soaked in official robes on the main seat, like pins and needles. The voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it, "Wu Taishou, General Li Yannian, the chief general of the Northwest Army, when he led the main force into the grassland, did he explain to you why?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Youfang's face on the main throne turned red, and he was so trembling that he couldn't say a word, but he kept doing this.

Wang Wenhua raised the corners of his mouth and smiled sarcastically, "Also, Li Yannian is such a big general, why do you need to act with you with a little Taishou, do you say yes or no?" After speaking, he didn't forget to raise his eyes and glance at Wu Youfang, but this glance made that Wu Taishou so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, only to feel lightheaded, and his eyes were about to pass out as soon as his eyes were dark.

Rejuvenating the official system, Taishou is the head of a county. Although Chaotian Pass is big, it is actually not big enough to have a county, so it stands to reason that there should not be a post of Taishou. However, due to the heavy responsibility of guarding Chaotian Pass, in addition to the post of general guarding the city, the imperial court also set up a separate post of Taishou. One article and one martial arts, in order to restrain each other in case of accidents. And the general Li Yannian in Wang Wenhua's mouth is not only the general who guards the city of Chaotianguan now, not only that, but he also commands the entire Northwest Provincial Military Horse, and Longyou Road, Guannei Road, Henan Province, Hezhong Road, Hebei Province, Shannan Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Jiannan Road, Lingnan Road, and Southwest Road are called the twelve powerful generals in the world, and they are directly under the jurisdiction of Chen Can, the general of the world's military horses.

Although Li Yannian's rank is indeed greater than that of the head of a place, Wu Youfang, as the Taishou of Chaotian Pass, has a heavy burden, especially for the military transfer of Chaotian Pass, and has the right to inspect and inspect.

Now that the entire Northwest Army has not returned, and has died on the front line, but the imperial court knows nothing about the previous transfer of the Northwest Army, Wu Youfang's guilt is greater than the sky.

Both parties in the hall knew this, so Wang Wenhua's sentence "Why do you need to repay you with a little Tai Shou" really scared Wu Youfang's courage. If it is an ordinary dereliction of duty, the official position will be removed at most according to the system, and he will be demoted to the common people.

And Wu Youfang has the uncle and brother of the court to rely on, at most he will be demoted outside, and at most he will be able to change in a few years, and he will be able to reinstate the official, not to mention that it is not impossible to go further. But today's events, a fool can also see that Wu Youfang can't eat the fruit of the total death of the Northwest Army, even his uncle in the court, and he can't do it.

At this time, Wu Youke was really heartbroken, he never expected that the old and serious Li Yannian would really dare to go deep into the grassland alone for thousands of miles, and finally be killed by others without leaving a piece of armor.

Chaotianguan has been an official for two years, he rarely takes care of things, and he originally came here just to add color to his official resume, not to seek merit, but to ask for no mistakes. Calculate the time, in two more years, I will definitely be able to return to Beijing to ascend, and when the time comes, I can't say that I will still read some incense in my heart to the general who is guarding the same side, so I have a hundred hearts for Li Yannian, who has guarded Chaotian Pass for more than ten years.

He now knew in his heart that Li Yannian's troop transfer warrant was not given to him, on the contrary, a newspaper had been placed in his magnificent Taishou Mansion as early as a month ago, but so what? Isn't this newspaper piled up with the messy information from before? He himself has not seen it in detail, so how can he talk about reporting this transfer to the imperial court? However, this can't be blamed on this Wu Taishou, how can there be less military drills and transfers in peacetime, and how can there ever be mistakes? Where would he have thought that this Di Bao would become his own talisman.

The white-armored scholar who had been closing his eyes and recuperating seemed to have finally sorted out his thoughts, first opened his mouth to stop the ridicule and ridicule of the rest of the people, and then turned his head and said to Wu Youfang with a solemn expression, "Wu Taishou, although the eight of us brothers have come to this point, the specific battle situation is still unknown, in this matter, I still need to have a discussion with Wu Taishou, and Taishou should not be too alarmed, this war is not what literati are good at after all."

Wu Youfang, who was already desperate, heard this, and didn't care about the contempt for him in his words, but he firmly grasped the last sentence of the scholar, and even spoke a lot, "Yes, yes, this general is right, this battle was originally the result of Li Yannian's arbitrariness, and he was persuaded hard, but he was unmoved..."

Wu Youfang's words caused a burst of laughter from the rest of the people, and of course everyone knew the truth. But the scholar was unmoved, and still said in that straightforward and ruthless tone, "Wu Taishou doesn't need to pass the blame too quickly, the details of this matter, I hope that Taishou will quickly report to the Ming court, and let His Majesty the Emperor know about this matter, so that the general can continue to mobilize the military horses from other places to assist in the defense, in case the grassland barbarians take advantage of the weakness." ”

When Wu Youfang heard this, his head nodded faster than a chicken pecking rice, and he didn't care about the current gloomy situation, supported the chair handle with both hands, pulled his fat body out of the chair, and after his feet hit the ground heavily, he walked towards the door with extremely fast small steps, and kept muttering, "I'm going to write a concerto... That's it... Let's go."
