Ning Yu was stunned for a moment, and was speechless.

The prefect made such a terrible decision for this reason, isn't this too child's play.

"My lord, we are all adults, don't play like this, okay?" Ning Yu said helplessly.

"Hehe, I won't force you, you will naturally come to me when you figure it out. The prefect smiled, as if he had expected Ning Yu's reaction, and he seemed to be very sure that Ning Yu would definitely take that path in the future.

Ning Yu felt very pressured to talk to the prefect, so he said, "We're almost done, can we go back to drinking?"

"You haven't talked about business yet, why are you in a hurry?" said the prefect angrily.

Ning Yu looked confused, what he just talked about was not a serious matter? If it was not even a serious matter to talk about rebellion, then what else was a serious matter?

"It's not the right thing to build the emperor's house, dare you want to talk to me about the rebellion of the king of Hades?"

"Hehe, I'm not that capable!" Lord Prefect smiled slyly, and then said, "I have a few mercenary deputy commanders here, are you interested?"

When Ning Yu heard this, Huo Ran raised his head and looked at the prefect with a shocked face.

"Grass, you also said that you don't have that mind, just look at your expression and know that you are not ambitious. "The prefect is a tumbler in the officialdom, and when he observes his words and looks, he immediately knows that Ning Yu and they must have some plans for the future.

"Do you have any reason to refuse?" Ning Yu was speechless, but he was still puzzled and asked, "I really have a few suitable candidates, but they are from a wild background, will they give you a cronyistic hat?"

"Except for the leader of the mercenaries, I have the absolute right to appoint and dismiss others, who dares to say that I am?" the prefect sneered.

"People don't dare to say it, but it's not good for your reputation. ”

"Am I an official for fame? Who cares if I sell it to him!" the prefect paused, and continued: "Look at Wu Ting in Loulan, he has promoted two of his own people to the position of commander not long after he took the position, and five of the nine mercenary regiments have been replaced, that is, Cangwu is estimated to be taken down by him soon, what is my arrangement." ”

"Well, I don't have any scruples about saying that. Sun Wu, Huang San and Xiang Nan are all suitable, I'll ask them to report to you when I go back, no problem, right?" Ning Yu's first thought was these three people.

Sun Wu is the first to do things, dare to do things, and is very promising if he develops in the army. Huang San is steady, and everything is also suitable for development in the army. Xiang Nan is brave and strategic, and if he is given a stage, he will also be able to rise.

"Your sister, I thought you would let Feng Ye and Guan Yunchang go?" the prefect was very unhappy.

"Hehe, if you give the position of the orthodox leader, I'll let them go!" Ning Yu smiled.

The purpose of the prefect Ning Yu naturally understood. Ning Yu's people used to be deputy commanders, and when their qualifications came up, they directly took the position of orthodox leaders, and then completely controlled the capital firmly in their own hands and prepared for future incidents.

"Get out!" the prefect scolded fiercely, then shook his hand and left.

"Drink a bowl and then go?" Ning Yu chased after him and asked.

"Don't drink it, I see you sick to your stomach!"

“......”

When everyone saw the prefect leave angrily, they all pinched a cold sweat for Ning Yu, and they didn't know why this lord had offended others.

"You have offended this Buddha, how can we still gain a foothold in Xudu in the future, I found out why you are so underwhelmed?" Guan Yunchang said very speechlessly.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing!" Ning Yu sat back in his seat and said with a smile.

"A good thing, a good thing?" the crowd was puzzled.

"One of us is going to be an official. Come, I wish our Commander Huang, Commander Xiang, and Commander Sun, who is far away in the Gobi Prairie, all the best sailing in the army in the future!" Ning Yu picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all.

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned on the spot.

Ning Yu didn't deliberately pursue anything, he just worked hard to do his role well, and fame and fortune naturally came to him, which may be the result of the harder he worked, the luckier he was.

......

Loulan, the first mercenary regiment.

Cang Wu looked at a personnel change notice on the desk, and his face was extremely ugly.

A few days ago, Wu Ting convened a meeting, where the military and political bigwigs in Loulan gathered, and the topic was mainly Wu Ting's arrangements and arrangements for the work in the new year after the beginning of the year.

"The task of the new year is very arduous, especially the Gobi steppe, the horse thieves led by Cai Qing are gradually becoming a climate. Many of the people there were instigated and instigated by them, and completely stood on the opposite side of the royal family and opposed the government. Therefore, our main goal this year is to sweep away these bandits and restore peace to the people!" Wu Ting stood on the rostrum and made an important speech.

The high-ranking officials below Cangwu, Hong Tian, Liu Yuan, and Hutong Zhi were all present, and they applauded Wu Ting's speech one after another.

"In view of the special geographical environment of the Gobi steppe and the arduous task of suppressing bandits, I proposed to the above to expand the army, and the above has already given a reply, the fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth mercenary corps are allowed to expand the army to 50,000, and the other mercenary corps remain unchanged for the time being. ”

As soon as these words came out, a thousand waves were immediately stirred, because the news was too shocking.

The expansion of the army was a big event, and the royal family had strict control over it. In the local area, each mercenary corps basically only has 30,000 numbers, unless it is a mercenary army around the imperial capital, then there is a million level.

The faces of the leaders of the legions who were named to expand the army were all full of flowers, because an additional 20,000 men would mean that their strength would be expanded, and their positions would naturally be adjusted.

For example, their current position is at the level of deputy division, and after the expansion, it may be at the level of a full division.

"The reason why these four mercenaries are allowed to expand is because the location where they are stationed is quite important, either where horse thieves are most rampant or where the mines are most concentrated. So don't feel unfair to other legions that have not been expanded, and when the time comes, I will continue to apply to the above, but only if you do your job well!" Wu Ting continued.

"This Wu Ting's ambition is not small!" Cang Wu's eyes were cold, Wu Ting's expansion was not just to exterminate horse thieves or guard the mining area, but should have a more far-reaching purpose.

Then Wu Ting continued to make important speeches, of course, except for the huge reaction to the expansion of the army, they didn't care much about anything else.

"Okay, I'm done with what I need to say, if you have anything else you need to add, or if you have any questions, you can speak now. Wu Ting asked symbolically.

The people below were silent.

"If not, then ......"

"My lord, I have something to say. Wu Ting was just about to end this meeting, and the Hutong Zhi below immediately stood up and said loudly.

"Hutong knows, you can say something. Wu Ting smiled slightly and asked.

"The mastermind of the assassination of Wu Bai and Wu Gongzi last time Luo Meng has obviously shown his traces in the southwest region, but he was stunned to break through the blockade of the southwest region and successfully escape from Loulan. Therefore, I think there are loopholes in the security of the southwest region, please be aware of them!" Hutong Zhi glanced at Cangwu and sneered.

Swish!

As soon as Hutong knew this, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Cangwu, because Hutong knew that these words were aimed at him.

Cangwu is responsible for the overall security of the southwest region and is the leader of the First Mercenary Legion. At that time, Wu Ting had already given an order for the troops in front to completely block the border to prevent Rohmin from escaping. But in the end, Rohmon escaped, and this responsibility must be borne by Cangwu.

Cang Wu's eyes flashed with cold murderous intent, and he said coldly: "How did I hear that it was you who made two oolongs leak in a row, how can you take out this matter, and you are not afraid of slapping yourself in the face?"

"It's not wrong that I put two oolongs in a row, and I don't mean to shirk responsibility. I bring it up today to set an example and take on my responsibilities. But what I want to say is that it is a fact that there are loopholes in the security of the southwest region, what does General Cang think?"

Cangwu's face was extremely ugly, and he was speechless when Hu Tongzhi said this.

Hutong Zhi has admitted his mistake and is willing to take responsibility, but he is the last line of defense for Luomen to escape from Loulan, and he naturally has to bear the unshirkable responsibility.

"The First Mercenary Corps is responsible for the security of the western front portal of Loulan City, and there is a long way to go, and this kind of fatal mistake should not have happened this time!" Hong Tian seized the opportunity to say lightly.

This sentence is very fatal, that is, there can be no mistakes in the security of the western portal of Loulan City, and Cangwu will be severely punished if he fails to take responsibility.

Cangwu's face was gloomy, and at this time, he couldn't shirk his responsibility, so he could only say: "My lord, Rohmon missed out of my defense area, it is indeed a subordinate's dereliction of responsibility, please punish your lord!"

Hutong Zhi and Hong Tian glanced at each other, and their eyes all showed smugness.

In fact, the matter of Luomen would not be so magnified according to normal times, but it just so happened that the person who assassinated this person was Wu Bai, and Wu Bai happened to be Wu Ting's son.

Such an important prisoner Cangwu let him escape from his own defense area, this matter must not be simple.

Of course, Hutong Zhi also has to be held accountable, but he and Wu Bai wear the same pants, and no matter how much punishment is punished, it will not be too heavy.

A gleam flashed in Wu Ting's eyes, he didn't know anything about it beforehand.

"Bai'er, I didn't expect you to think of this trick, it's hard for you. Wu Ting's heart was full of relief.

Then he looked at Cang Wu and the others: "The responsibility of the first, second, and third mercenary legions is much heavier than that of other legions, and there is no sloppiness at all, and this Luomen incident has exposed that there are indeed problems in the first legion." Recently, I have been studying a method of managing and strengthening the army, and I feel that the longer a leader serves in one place, the easier it is to slack off and not be able to maintain the style of hard struggle. ”

The faces of the officers below changed suddenly when they heard this, especially Cangwu, who seemed to have understood Wu Ting's thoughts.

"The strategy is no worse than that of the prefect of Xudu!" Cangwu sighed secretly.

"For this reason, I have the bold idea of changing the heads of mercenaries at regular intervals, which can be three or five years. However, the actual effect of this method remains to be seen, so for the first time, I would like to change the positions of General Cang of the First Mercenary Regiment and General Liu of the Fourth Mercenary Regiment, tentatively for three years. In this way, the two generals can bring their strengths to the new mercenary corps, complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and completely prevent incidents like Rohmon from happening, do you have any opinions?" Wu Ting said with a smile.

The people below naturally didn't dare to have opinions, and if they had opinions, they could only be Cangwu and Liu Yuan.

"Your Excellency's method is extremely subtle, and it is actually a great magic weapon to improve the combat effectiveness of mercenaries, and it is the only way for mercenaries to maintain their vitality forever, I have no opinion on this resolution. Liu Yuan was the first to speak.

Swish!

At this time, everyone looked at Cangwu again, because when they arrived here, even stupid people knew that Wu Ting was going to rectify this Cangwu.

"I'm okay with that!" Cangwu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
