Chapter 1072 Tiger Leaps to the Dragon Gate

Everyone in the main hall was a little confused. They didn't know who Chu Huan was going to bring. Xuanyuan Sheng went out and took a man back in a moment. The man was dressed in brocade clothes, over 40 years old, with a goatee beard, a pair of small eyes, and was bent. Everyone only took a look. Although few people knew this person, most people guessed that dressing like this should be a merchant.

When Huo Wufeng saw the visitor, his face changed drastically and his body was trembling.

The man looked very nervous, with cold sweat on his forehead and panic, and then Xuanyuan Sheng took him into the hall and said in a deep voice: "You can't come forward to pay homage to the Governor!"

Although the man saw Chu Huan sitting at the scene, he was still nervous, but he still had this vision. He bowed his body and knelt down "thumpingly", "The little man is awesome, pay homage to... and pay homage to the Governor!"

Chu Huan didn't look at this person, his eyes were sharp, staring at Huo Wufeng, and said lightly: "Huo Banjiang, should you know this boss Niu?"

"I...!" Huo Wufeng only felt sweaty in his palms, but he didn't know that there was already a deep cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't know what to say for a moment. There was panic in his eyes, but more of it was disbelief.

Hearing the officials around him whispered, Chu Huan had already asked Niu Debi: "Niu Debi, who are you?"

"The villain...the villain is a businessman." Niu Debi raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, "Do some small business to support his family..."

"Boss Niu is polite. You think you are a small businessman, but I think your business is bigger than the sky." Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "How many businessmen dare to resell military rations in this world?"

"Ah?" Everyone around changed color.

As the name suggests, military food is the food of the army and the food that the court can live in the army. This kind of food, not to mention reselling, is a serious crime if it is a slight deduction.

Huo Wufeng felt his mind blank. He really couldn't figure out what method Chu Huan used to bring Niu Debi here.

Niu Debi kept his head shut, "Governor General, please spare your life, Governor General, please spare your life, villain is obsessed with money, villain... villain deserves to die... please spare your life...!"

"I think everyone should know the laws of the court." Chu Huan sneered: "It is natural for those who serve as soldiers to eat food. The military rations allocated by the court are the blood and sweat of the people. The military rations that serve as soldiers defend the country and grow grain for them... The empire is dealing with the war in the southeast. The supplies of the court are very tight, but the court still squeezes out materials from the gap between the teeth and allocates food for the Pingxi Army. In order to support the northwest, Anyi and Xishan are even more frugal. In the final analysis, it is to allow the soldiers of Pingxi Army to fill their stomachs, protect the people, and fight against the bandits...!" With a "bang", Chu Huan lined up on the table beside him and said sternly: "But now someone dares to call the military rations privately. For his own selfish interests, regardless of the lives and death of the soldiers of Pingxi Army, I will ask, what should such a scum be punished?"

Huo Wufeng sat down again. The officials present were not fools. At this moment, they had already understood something and looked at Huo Wufeng.

Huo Wufeng no longer had any energy and was sweating like rain. He sat softly on the chair, drooping his head.

Chu Huan glanced at Huo Wufeng coldly and said, "Niu Debi, I asked you, how much military rations have you taken away from Lizi Camp?"

"Sir, villains deserve to die. In fact... in fact, I don't get much food from Lizi Camp." Niu Debi's forehead was wiped with sweat. "From the beginning to the end, it's only... it's only a few hundred stones of food!"

"How many hundred stones? How many hundred stones are there?"

"Four...no, more than five hundred stones..."

"More than 500 stones, but not much?" Chu Huan sneered: "There are 4,000 soldiers in Lizi Camp. One stone of food is enough for one hundred soldiers to last for three days. Five hundred stones of food is enough for Lizi Camp to last for half a month. Now Xiguan is short of food everywhere. How dare you say that 500 stones of food is not much?" He said sternly: "Do you know, not to mention 500 stones, even selling a piece of military ration can cut off your head."

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

Niu Debi kowtowed like garlic, begging with a trembling voice, "Sir, the villain is guilty, please give up the devil, the villain... the villain will explain everything, yes..." He glanced at Huo Wufeng, thinking that Chu Huan might wave his hand at any time and wanted to take his head, Niu Debi gritted his teeth, "It was Huo Cian who sent someone to come to the villain, saying that there was food and asked the villain to help him take action, the villain... the villain is a businessman, profitable, naturally... naturally... he did not refuse. Later, he realized that he was going to sell military rations. The villain was in a difficult situation and was afraid that if he refused, Huo Cian would retaliate against the villain, so... the villain could only help him resell military rations, and resold more than 500 stone military rations... The last batch of food was detained by the Governor, and he had not taken action yet...!"

Huo Wufeng was so heartbroken that he had already understood that Chu Huan had already set his sights on him and even secretly investigated him. Niu Debi was obviously secretly arrested by Chu Huan.

At this moment, he had already thought about the matter carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He never expected that such a young governor would be so powerful. Dong Shizhen died and Dongfang Xin died, and he was ready to watch the Pingxi Army as soon as possible. Everything was planned. Thinking that everything was probably Chu Huan had planned it, Huo Wufeng felt a little cold. Since Chu Huan even pulled out Niu Debi, today's affairs would definitely not be good.

"Huo Banjiang, I don't know if you hear what Boss Niu said clearly." Chu Huan's voice shocked Huo Wufeng back to his senses, "If he has any false words, you can argue!"

Huo Wufeng knew in his heart that since Chu Huan had prepared, he naturally had the iron evidence in his hand. No matter how he argued, it would be useless and could not do anything: "The last general..." but he didn't know what to say.

Chu Huan ignored him and waved his hand. Xuanyuan Sheng immediately asked someone to ban Niu Debi to take down. Chu Huan then said: "General Huo Panicai is no longer the most suitable candidate. General Xiong Panicai was injured. Pingxi's military affairs are heavy. Naturally, this governor would not have the heart to let an injured general take on the heavy responsibility...!" Turning to Han Ying, he said with a gentle voice: "General Han Panicai, what good candidate do you have?"

Han Ying seemed to wake up like a dream, opened his eyes, stood up and bowed, "I only know how to obey orders, Dongfang Xin is gone, everything is subject to the arrangements of Chu."

Chu Huan smiled slightly and looked at Fang Rushui. Fang Rushui had already stood up and said, "I will obey the arrangements of Director Chu!"

After the two said this, the officials of the Zhu Party gave up. They originally wanted to change the situation by relying on the four major generals of the Western Army. However, in just a moment, Huo Wufeng could not speak, and Fang Rushui and Han Ying did not resist. As for Xiong Ruhai, a waste of man, the initiative was completely in the hands of Chu Huan. Everyone knew that if there was anyone jumping out at this time, it would be a self-destruction.

Thinking that the Pingxi Army was likely to be out of the control of the Zhu Party and fell into Chu Huan's hands, several Zhu Party officials were very unwilling to accept it. They knew that once the Pingxi Army fell under the control of Chu Huan, Chu Huan's next step was to clear the Zhu Party's forces in Xiguan. He would definitely be the target and he had no good ending. Thinking that Chu Huan came to Xiguan for a short time, the power formed by the Zhu Party at Xiguan was defeated day and night, and everyone was both angry and helpless. If they had known that Dongfang Xin would have led his troops to kill Chu Huan directly.

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Han is a general, and the side is a general. This is your business of pacifying the Western Army. I will be the leader, but the real decision is still with you. Do you two have the idea of ​​recommending yourself?"

Han Ying shook his head and said, "The last general is not talented and knowledgeable, so it is okay to serve in front of the army, but he must not serve as the commander of the first army."

Fang Rushui knew it well and said, "The general thought that even the general of Han could not match up. The general of Han could not do anything, and the general of Han could not do anything, and the general of Wu did not have such ability."

Chu Huan sighed, "What should I do?"

Han Ying and Fang Rushui looked at each other and hesitated slightly. Han Ying finally said: "Director Chu, there is a candidate in the end. I don't know whether to speak or not!"

"Speaking!"

"In fact, there is an extremely suitable candidate who can temporarily take over the position of General Pingxi." Han Ying said seriously: "This person is from a noble family, has outstanding skills, and is a military family... Although he is not old, he thought that General Xuanyuan climbed the city to kill the flag at the age of thirteen, which shows that his talent is not old..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xuanyuan Shengcai who was standing in the door.

Chu Huan had already asked: "What Han Pian will recognize what he said?"

"Of course it's Xuanyuan Shengcai!" Han Ying raised his hand and pointed at Xuanyuan Shengcai, "Doesn't Chu think that Xuanyuan Shengcai is the most suitable candidate at the moment?"

Everyone took a deep breath, and Xuanyuan Shengcai was also a little surprised.

Chu Huan said "Oh" and asked, "Is Han Pian General trying to recommend Xuanyuan Shengcai?"

"That's what the last one means!" Han Ying nodded.

Although Han Ying was born in the army, he was once a general under Yu Buqu’s subordinates. He was certainly not a reckless warrior who could be appreciated by Yu Buqu.

He had already seen what happened today very clearly. Chu Huan used thunderous means to deal with Dongfang Xin, and had already restrained Huo Wufeng in a few words. Although Chu Huan claimed not to interfere in the affairs of Pingxi Army, the blind man could see that Chu Huan would never miss such a good opportunity. In any case, he would definitely be involved in Pingxi Army.

Han Ying was Yu Buqu’s beloved general. When Yu Buqu formed the Pingxi Army and established the Eight Major Camps, Han Ying was directly appointed by Yu Buqu as a side general of the Zhen character camp and commanded the first battalion. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Zhen character camp were Yu Buqu’s direct descendants from the pass. Although Dongfang Xin also mobilized many confidant generals to enter the Zhen character camp, the Zhen character camp was still firmly controlled by Han Ying.

Because of this, Zhu Lingyue used Dongfang Xin's hands to purge the Western Army and hired nepotism. However, because of Han Ying's special identity, Dongfang Xin did not dare to attack Han Ying easily.

Although Han Ying controlled thousands of officers and soldiers of the Zhen Battalion, he also knew that in the northwest, the Zhu Party was in great power. Although he knew the Zhu Party’s elimination of dissidents and was very dissatisfied with him, he still remained silent and cautious.

Today, Dongfang Xin was dead. Han Ying saw the pros and cons of it. He knew that Chu Huan was going to become a big shot. He would rather Pingxi Army fall into Chu Huan's hands than see Zhu Party control Pingxi Army.

Xuanyuan Sheng is Chu Huan's man, and he comes from a martial arts family. Although he has very little qualifications, Han Ying thought for a while, but he still felt that recommending Xuanyuan Sheng was his best choice at the moment. Once Xuanyuan Shengcai commanded the Pingxi Army, if Chu Huan controlled the Pingxi Army, there was another statement among them. After all, everyone knows that the Xuanyuan family is a loyal and martyr, and he is very loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Xuanyuan Shengcai is no exception. It is better to say that Xuanyuan Sheng is Chu Huan's man than to say that Xuanyuan Sheng is the emperor's man.

If Chu Huan was loyal to the emperor and Xuanyuan Shengcai was in power, then Pingxi Army would still be loyal to the court. However, Chu Huan was suspicious, then Xuanyuan Shengcai might not be with Chu Huan. Pingxi Army would not obey Chu Huan's orders at that time. As long as Xuanyuan Shengcai was loyal to the court, then no matter what Chu Huan thought, Pingxi Army would still be the military of the court.

Han Ying followed Yu Buqu for many years, and Yu Buqu was loyal to the emperor. Han Ying was naturally loyal to the court. He recommended Xuanyuan Shengcai, saying that he was following Chu Huan's thoughts, but rather that he was maintaining the court.

In addition, there is another point that Xuanyuan Shengcai was the child of the imperial family of the first martial arts clan. The recommendation of Xuanyuan Shengcai as the commander of the Pingxi Army was actually giving the Xuanyuan family a great favor. This was undoubtedly a great benefit to his future for Han Ying, who was in the army.

Xuanyuan Sheng is the rising star of the Xuanyuan family and the rising star of the Qin Empire. Han Ying and Xuanyuan Shengcai were not immediately promoted to a high-ranking official. It is very likely that the Xuanyuan family and even the emperor were training this person. With Xuanyuan Shengcai's background and ability, he would sooner or later take on the great responsibilities. Now he is in the face of national crisis. Taking this opportunity to make Xuanyuan Shengcai take on the great responsibilities may not be in accordance with the emperor's wishes.

This was a matter of several goals. Han Ying had just thought for a long time, but finally made up his mind to recommend Xuanyuan Shengcai to become the General of Pingxi. This is not only a great thing that is beneficial to the court, but also to his future.
