Without waiting for Tang Feng to speak, several *** sitting opposite Xue Muxiu all stood up in unison and spoke.

"Lord Xue, when I see what you say, it will destroy your own prestige a little and increase the morale of others, now that the war is imminent, if Lord Xue's words are spread, I am afraid it will hurt the morale of his army."

"That's right, I see that Lord Xue has been serving as a state lieutenant for a long time, and he has forgotten his duties as a state lieutenant, and the war has not started yet, so he is so cringe, Lord Xue, you are not competent as a state lieutenant."

The accusations of his colleagues made Xue Muxiu's face unhappy, and he said coldly, "This official said, this is just the words of this official's family, it will sweep the interest of all the adults, I apologize here, you don't need to go online."

Xue Muxiu's explanation, instead of calming everyone's emotions, inspired more people to accuse him.

This time, even if he is a fool, he can see that today's so-called discussion is completely aimed at him.

"Hmph, Lord Xue said this lightly, and I don't look at what time it is, this time, I'll just go online."

"Lord Governor, we propose that in order to stabilize the situation in Xizhou and give better play to the combat power of our state's soldiers, Lord Xue will be temporarily exempted from commanding the military rights of Xizhou."

"We agree."

As someone took the lead, this time, at least more than half of the officials in the room echoed it.

Looking at this scene, Xue Muxiu sneered in his heart, he already knew that today's meeting would not only come at him, but to put it bluntly, it would take away his military power.

In Xizhou, he and Gongsun Bo, who had been overthrown before, led the government affairs and military affairs of Xizhou, while Tang Feng was behind the scenes and gave orders.

But with the overthrow of Gongsun Bo, the government affairs of Xizhou were taken over by Tang Feng's henchmen three years ago.

And about half of the military in Xizhou is still under the jurisdiction of Xue Muxiu's transfer, and in the past three years, it is precisely because he holds half of the military power that Xue Muxiu has barely survived under Tang Feng.

Tang Feng didn't dare to do anything to him too much, and now, after three years of forbearance, Tang Feng finally couldn't help it, and wanted to do something to him and completely take away his other half of the military power.

As for the so-called stability of Xizhou, the temporary dismissal is nothing more than a rhetoric.

How can there be any reason in this world to take it and return it?

Xue Muxiu's face was gloomy, he looked at everyone, and said coldly, "Hmph, you finally showed your fox tail, I am the captain of Xizhou, canonized by the imperial court, and commanded the military of Xizhou, which is recognized by the imperial court, and if you want to take away my military power, you are not qualified enough!"

Xue Muxiu was not polite, not afraid, and scolded a group of colleagues.

seems to be angrily scolding his colleagues, but in fact he refers to Sang scolding Huai, taking the opportunity to deter Tang Feng.

No matter how bad Xue Muxiu's state lieutenant is and how derelict he is, it will not be the turn of the Xizhou officials to decide to remove him.

Even if it is Tang Feng, he is not qualified, what Tang Feng can do is to inform the court of this matter, and after consultation with the court, he will make a decision.

This is also the rule of the imperial court in order to control the state pastor of a state, the family is dominant, and the rule of the hall is a big one.

This is also the confidence that Xue Muxiu was impeached by his colleagues and was fearless.

Xue Muxiu's words did have some effect, making the tone of the colleagues stagnate.

In the end, they all asked Tang Feng to call the shots.

Tang Feng, who was sitting on the top position, finally spoke at this time, "What are you doing here, you are all colleagues, why are you so tense, if this is spread out, do you want the outside world to see our jokes?"

"I called you here today to discuss how to deal with it, not to quarrel, I think you are all angry now, and if you continue to talk, there will be no result, so let's disperse."

"Lord Xue stays for a while, there is something I want to talk to you about in this state alone."

Tang Feng spoke, and the officials present all nodded, and then turned around and left.

After a while, only Tang Feng and Xue Muxiu were left in the room.

Tang Feng motioned for Xue Muxiu to sit down, and then said in a reassuring tone, "Brother Xue, you and I are old acquaintances, we have known each other for so many years, don't you know what I am."

"For the sake of old friends, dang

The fall of the Nian Gongsun family, Benzhou gave you a face, failed to take away the military power in your hands, and now Su Qi'an led the army back to Xizhou, I hope that Brother Xue can understand my difficulties and hand over the military power in his hands, which is good for everyone."

Xue Muxiu's eyes flashed, and he said, "Brother Tang, if you want to deal with Su Qi'an, I don't object, you already have half of the military power in your hands, isn't that enough?"

"In the past three years, I have turned a blind eye to the expansion of the army without authorization, but the consequences of the expansion of the army, Brother Tang, you go down and take a look, the oppression of the people at the bottom is already ruthless enough."

"If you take away the other half of the military power, I'm afraid there will be chaos in Xizhou, and I hope Brother Tang will think twice."

"Mess up? Hmph, just these pariahs?" The state gave them hundreds of guts, and they didn't dare to make trouble."

"Brother Xue, you don't have a compassionate appearance, you can't go with the untouchables at the bottom."

"Honshu still says the same thing, hand over the military power, it's good for you and me."

Xue Muxiu was silent, although he didn't say anything, his attitude was indicative of everything.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room instantly tensed, and if you listen carefully, you can hear Tang Feng's rapid breathing, and it seems that Tang Feng has signs of anger at any time.

Just when the rapid breathing reached the peak and Tang Feng was about to explode, suddenly, the tense atmosphere was instantly broken by a light laugh.

Xue Muxiu looked at Tang Feng, who was still imposing just now, with a smile on his face, as if he had changed into a different person.

But the more this kind of expression looks, the more creepy it is.

Without waiting for Xue Muxiu to speak, Tang Feng chuckled and said, "Hehe, okay, I understand Brother Xue's difficulties, and this state will not embarrass Brother Xue."

"By the way, I forgot one thing, I want to remind Brother Xue, among Brother Xue's sons in this state, Xue Huai is the most important."

"Xue Huai's nephew is good, dignified, extraordinary, but he is a malleable talent, the current Xizhou is not very stable, there is some turmoil, I hope it will not affect Brother Xue's children."

"Don... Brother Tang, what do you want to do!" Xue Muxiu's face was pale, and he stared at Tang Feng with a hateful gaze, his expression was like eating people.

But even so, Tang Feng seemed to be unable to see it, with a smile on his face, he slowly got up, came to Xue Muxiu's side, and said softly.

"Brother Xue, don't be angry, it's better to control your emotions a little, this state is just a kind reminder."

"Brother Xue wants to be ruthless, or send it to Su Qi'an, Benzhou doesn't know what kind of confidence Brother Xue has, dare to speak to me like this, Benzhou can guarantee that if something happens to the son, there will always be some people to bury with the son."

"If you want to blame Su Qi'an, this state is also forced to do so, if Brother Xue is really good for the people of Xizhou, he should know how to weigh it."

After speaking, Tang Feng patted Xue Muxiu's shoulder, and then turned to leave.

Xue Muxiu, who was standing in place, his face changed, and his hands tightened and loosened.

Finally, with a sigh, the standing body suddenly softened, and he sat on the ground with a wry smile.

The many colleagues who left the room didn't know how Tang Feng and Xue Muxiu talked, they only knew that half a day later, a piece of news came.

After talking with the governor of the state, Lieutenant Xue felt that the position of governor was very important, and for the sake of the stability of the situation in Xizhou, he deliberately took the blame and resigned from the post of governor of the prefecture.

The other half of the military power in the western state was handed over to the state pastor for transfer.

It was this news that made many colleagues who followed this trip unconsciously raise the corners of their mouths in an inexplicable arc.

In his eyes, he showed a little admiration for Tang Feng.

This time, they followed Tang Feng to come, and the main purpose was to carve up the military power in Xue Muxiu's hands.

With military power, they have the right to mobilize and command the army, even if the number of troops assigned to them is small, but at least they can obey their command.

For Su Qi'an to lead a large army to invade Xizhou, they have long been quite unhappy.

Especially after the Manghuang County was taken, Xue Muxiu relied on his status as a state lieutenant to only carry out Tang Feng's closing of the city gate, passively defending, and waiting for Su Qi'an to attack.

The rest, regardless of any of them, want to divide the troops

moved, and was sent away because there was no warrant from Xue Muxiu.

This is also the reason why they did not act for a long time after facing Su Qi'an to take the Mangbarren County.

If it weren't for Xue Muxiu's pedantry, after Su Qi'an took the Manghuang County, their foothold was still unstable, and they would have led the army to attack a long time ago.

Maybe the Reckless County has already been taken under their surprise attack.

For them, Su Qi'an led an army of 60,000 people, which was indeed a lot of pressure, but they were not without the strength to fight back.

There are also 60,000 troops deployed, and there are 20,000 main forces left behind to guard the clan land, and there are nearly 20,000 reserves on standby at any time.

Su Qi'an came from afar, they were calm, and the advantage was completely on their side.

The resignation of Xue Muxiu's state lieutenant is a great thing for them.

When these officials heard about this, they found Tang Feng as soon as possible, wanting to divide some troops and prepare to show their skills next.

Tang Feng did not refuse everyone's request for battle, and directly assigned 20,000 troops to the officials on this trip.

The officers who had the warrants were full of confidence and led their troops away.

Tang Feng did this for his purpose, and of the 60,000 troops gathered, only about 40,000 could really work for him.

The 20,000 that were distributed were under the orders of Lieutenant Xue Muxiu, and they recognized the warrant but did not recognize the person.

The strength of this army is good, and Tang Feng is also very coveted, as early as three years ago, Tang Feng tried to recruit it.

But these people don't know oil and salt, and they only recognize the warrant of the state lieutenant, but they don't recognize people.

After many fruitless attempts, Tang Feng gave up on this army with good combat strength.

Since he can't get it, there is no need for this army to exist.

It is just because of today's incident that this army will be divided and consumed by these officials, and by the way, Su Qi'an's strength and *** will be tested.

has been dealing with Su Qi'an for a long time, and blindly defending passively will only put himself at a disadvantage.

Take the initiative to attack and use Su Qi'an's style of play to deal with Su Qi'an, which is called treating others in the way of others.

In the past three years, Su Qi'an has grown a lot, and Tang Feng is the same.
