Chapter 1073 General Pingxi
Chu Huan looked at Xuanyuan Shengcai with a smile and said, "Xuanyuan, Han general recommended you to temporarily take over the position of General Pingxi. What do you mean?"
Xuanyuan Sheng was a little surprised, but his eyebrows were obviously glorious, and he said, "I am so scarce that I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." He did not refuse, but just said it would be difficult to convince the public.
"Actually, I don't think so." Chu Huan laughed and said, "Xuanyuan, you came from the Xuanyuan family and have been in the army since childhood. You are a real soldier. Although you have never been in the Pingxi Army, you have a first time in everything. With your talent, you may not be able to take on such a heavy responsibility. Moreover, this is not really what makes you become General Pingxi, but it is just a temporary generation. Before the imperial court's order came down, I think you can hold on."
Xuanyuan Sheng said: "If this is the case, I dare not give it a try!"
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Xuanyuan Shengcai was not polite, but also understood in their hearts that although he was the temporary general of Pingxi, the court was afraid that it would be difficult for the court to choose a suitable candidate. Since Chu Huan wanted to help Xuanyuan Shengcai ascend, he naturally wrote to the court to recommend it. After all, Xuanyuan Shengcai was a powerful Xuanyuan family. The court was afraid that he would follow the situation and directly correct Xuanyuan Shengcai with a decree.
Huo Wufeng clenched his fists tightly, and he just wanted to get up to refute, but he was now stuck in his body, so he was afraid that he would not say anything and be punished by Chu Huan again.
Although Xiong Ruhai was seriously injured, he also knew that the matter was of great importance. He knew that Han Ying and Fang Rushui were already in trouble, and Huo Wufeng was now restrained. The only person who could refute was himself. He forced himself to say: "I don't agree!"
Chu Huan looked down at Xiong Ruhai and asked with a smile: "Will Xiong have any opinions?"
"Of course...!" Xiong Ruhai wanted to speak loudly, but as long as the voice was loud, his chest would hurt a lot, so he could only make the voice softer: "Xuanyuan Shengcai is a child of the Xuanyuan family, but as far as the last general knows, he has only a few hundred men at most. The eight major camps of the Pingxi Army had a total of nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses. Xuanyuan Shengcai never had the qualifications to command the army. How could he... take on the position of General Pingxi like this?" He felt ache in his chest, and he paused, and then continued: "Military affairs are not a joke, nor can the governor decide in just a few words. Pingxi Army is not a local army, but a member of the Ministry of War. Before the appointment of the court, no one... is qualified to manage Pingxi Army!"
Chu Huan said lightly: "In this way, Xiong Pian will be preparing to let the Pingxi Army have no leader? The eight camps are all in charge and are in a scattered sand? Hehe, how can we fight?"
"If we really want to select a temporary general, it should be... the Pingxi Army discusses within the internal discussion to convene the eight major camps and choose from it." Xiong Ruhai breathes like a bull. "The last generals do not believe that the eight major camps are all generals on the battlefield of a hundred battles. Even if there are mediocre talents, they will not be as good as Xuanyuan Shengcai?"
Chu Huan got up, walked to Xiong Ruhai, carried his hands on his back, looked down from a high point. Seeing Xiong Ruhai's big eyes as big as copper bells, he also looked at him with a tit-for-tat smile, and said, "After all, Xiong Bian feels that this governor is not qualified to inquire about Pingxi military affairs?"
Xiong Ruhai is worthy of being a tough guy. In adversity, he was not afraid of Chu Huan and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. The empire has laws. In order to prevent the local governor from monopolizing the power, the court clearly stipulates that the governor is not allowed to interfere in military affairs. Pingxi Army is directly affiliated with the court, and you are not qualified to intervene. Now the governor is in charge of political affairs, but he is also inquiring about military affairs. Is it because he wants to arrest military affairs?"
This is very straightforward. Many people have changed their color slightly. They think that Xiong Ruhai is really big and thick but has no brains. At this time, he has to go against Chu Huan, so there will naturally be no good results.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Xiong Pian General, do you know that when I left the capital, I was summoned by the Emperor and gave him the power to make arbitrary decisions? The Emperor's will for this Emperor is to stabilize Xiguan at all means. The dragons in the pacific army have no leader, and they have already endangered Xiguan. I will naturally have to ask about it." Touching my chin, he said lightly: "I'm going to say that the Emperor gave me the Golden Sword. The Golden Sword is waiting for the Emperor, if it is the Emperor, who would make trouble in Xiguan, I recognize people with my eyes, but the Golden Sword cannot recognize people. Why? Should Xiong Pian General ask for the Golden Sword?"
Xiong Ruhai opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He said it straightforwardly, but Chu Huan was not vague. In his words, it was already a threatening meaning.
Seeing Xiong Ruhai not speaking, Chu Huan turned around and asked with a smile: "Sir, Han general recommended Xuanyuan Sheng to temporarily serve General Pingxi. I wonder what you think?"
"Everything...everything is decided by the Lord!"
"You can't say this. Please come here, just don't have a single word." Chu Huan said: "Everyone expresses his opinion. This is a major event in Xiguan. Everyone is a parent official in Xiguan. For such a major event, they should express their opinions!" He looked directly at Fang Rushui and asked, "Fang is a lie, what do you think?"
"Xuanyuan Shengcai was a young hero and was born in a general. He will temporarily serve as General Pingxi. The soldiers will not have much opinion. We are willing to obey the order!"
"Where are all the sirs?"
"This... General Xuanyuan is indeed the best candidate."
Everyone knew that if they didn't express their opinions today, they were afraid that no one would be able to leave the door, so they could only follow Chu Huan's wishes. Chu Huan smiled and heard everyone agreeing, and then turned around and said, "Xuanyuan Shengcai, since it is the hope of everyone, don't refuse. There are a few generals who will help you. Before the imperial court's order is delivered, you can temporarily take care of the military affairs of the Pingxi Army."
Xuanyuan Shengcai bowed and said, "I wish to serve the court to the death!"
"Come here, get the order talisman and general seal!" Chu Huan said in a deep voice.
As soon as the words fell, someone came in outside the door soon. It seemed that he had been ready. He held it with a jade plate. Chu Huan handed the General Pingxi Order Fu and General Seal to Xuanyuan Shengcai in front of everyone, and said earnestly: "Xuanyuan, from this moment, Pingxi Army will be handed over to you for the time being. I just hope that you will clearly determine the reward and punishment and do not let the court down!"
Xuanyuan Sheng put away the order fu and general seal, raised his eyebrows, and showed gratitude in his eyes. Then he turned cold, his eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Where is Huo Wufeng?"
Huo Wufeng was lowering his head, and when he heard Xuanyuan Sheng call his name. He raised his head and said a little lost: "I...I'm...I'm...!"
Chu Huan said lightly: "General Huo Banyan, Xuanyuan is now General Pingxi. You and him are superiors and subordinates. You call yourself me in front of your boss. This is a suspicion of being the best!"
Huo Wufeng's body was shocked, and he felt a little dizzy in his head. The development of the matter caught him off guard. It was really difficult for him to understand why the Pingxi Army changed its name overnight.
"General Huo Banyan, General Huo is calling you, you should come forward to pay homage." Han Ying had already stood up and reminded him lightly.
Huo Wufeng had no choice but to go forward, knelt on one knee, "I will meet the general!"
"Of course you have no objection to Niu Debi's testimony." Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes were sharp. "As a battalion of generals, you should have loved soldiers as much as your son and were loyal to the court, but you are brave enough to steal military rations and have no forgiveness for your crimes. When someone comes, you drag Huo Wufeng down and behead him!"
Huo Wufeng's expression changed drastically, he suddenly looked up and said in horror: "What did you say?"
Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes were like ice. Four guard warriors rushed forward, and like wolves and tigers, they were about to drag Huo Wufeng down. Huo Wufeng expected that the first thing that Xuanyuan Shengcai did after he came to power was to take action against himself. He was shocked by Xuanyuan Shengcai's iron blood and ruthlessness. He knew that it was impossible to escape. The blood in his bones suddenly surged up. Before several warriors approached, his body had already rushed forward and reached out to grab Xuanyuan Shengcai's sword on his waist.
His speed was not slow, but unfortunately Xuanyuan Shengcai was faster. Before Huo Wufeng's hand touched the handle of the knife, Xuanyuan Shengcai's body had already taken a step back. The sword light flashed, and in the flash, Xuanyuan Shengcai had already drawn his sword in his hand. Huo Wufeng was shocked, Xuanyuan Shengcai was already holding the knife in both hands and slashed Huo Wufeng mercilessly at the air.
Huo Wufeng's body was moving forward, but he could not retreat at all due to inertia. In addition, his mind was in a mess, and the quick knife slashed it, but he was stunned for a moment.
"puff!"
Blood was flying and blood was splattering everywhere. The big knife in Xuanyuan Shengcai's hand was already slashed on Huo Wufeng's head, and the head was split in half like a watermelon.
"oops……!"
Many officials present saw the big knife splitting their heads, and their livers and gallbladders were broken, and they screamed. Xuanyuan Sheng stared at Huo Wufeng's raised eyes and said lightly: "Attack Shangguan, kill Wuhuai!" He pulled out the knife, and the blade was covered with blood, and the blade drooped. The blood slid along the blade to the blade, and then dripped onto the ground like a drop of water. Huo Wufeng's body shook twice, fell to the ground, and then did not move.
Xuanyuan Sheng wiped the big knife clean on Huo Wufeng's corpse, and then ordered: "Drag the corpse down!"
The guard warrior stepped forward and dragged the body down. Xuanyuan Shengcai then put his sword in the sheath, turned around and bowed to Chu Huan, "Governor General, the incident happened suddenly. Huo Wufeng wanted to seize the sword and attack the last general. The last general could only take action in self-defense and disturb him. Please forgive me!"
Chu Huan sighed: "This is a matter of pacifying the Western Army. General Xuanyuan cleared the portal. How could this governor blame me!"
Xuanyuan Sheng glanced at everyone and saw that many officials looked pale, their eyes were full of fear, and some people were even trembling.
He walked to Xiong Ruhai's side without expression. Xiong Ruhai was also shocked at this time. He saw Xuanyuan Sheng approaching. For some reason, he felt really afraid, but he still said with a stingy head, "You... do you still want to kill me?"
"Why do you want to kill you?" Xuanyuan Sheng showed a smile, "Xiong general, you are a general in Kun character camp. Everyone says you are a powerful general. Originally, Kun character camp needs a powerful general like you to take charge, but I really can't handle the military affairs of Kun character camp. Look at your injury, it will be difficult to recover in less than three or five months. Let's do this. You are the general in Kun character camp. I will take it back for now and let others handle the work on your behalf. You will set off tonight and return home. I heard that you are a Taoist in Tianshan, so go back to Tianshan Road and recover your wounds!"
"I...!" Xiong Ruhai was furious and coughed violently.
Xuanyuan Sheng had not waited for Xiong Ruhai to say more, and had already ordered: "Come here, immediately pack up the gifts for Xiong Pian General. Tonight, I will hire a carriage for Xiong Pian General to return home to recuperate. Xiong Pian General is a meritorious general. You can't treat him badly. Hire a good car, the fare...!" After pausing, he raised his eyebrows and said generously: "I will pay it for it in the future!"
