"I only govern the world with letters and fight chaos with force."
"However, Cao Sushi, the military general of Zhaowu, was the mainstay of the imperial court and the Qiancheng of the country. He was capable of both civil and military skills. How can he neglect his achievements by dedicating his efforts to repay the favor and favor his life?"
"I am now conferring the post of General Su Pingxi and the commander of the quelling rebellion, and will be responsible for the affairs of Pingxi..."
The imperial edict was read loudly by the Huangmen servant.
It turned out to be about the arrangements for quelling chaos in Xizhou.
After the army led by Feng Yuchan was destroyed by the demon tide, Feng Yuchan's whereabouts were unknown, and the war in Xizhou became a mess.
Whether Cao Su is granted the position or not, Cao Su is now the de facto most powerful person in Xizhou.
He himself was a fifth-grade General Zhaowu. During the chaos, he held back an elite cavalry force of more than 20,000 people.
He also controlled the main roads of Xijun and strictly guarded Xizhou to ensure peace.
But he didn't expect that the imperial court would be so generous. The emperor personally granted Cao Su the title, and Cao Su was directly promoted from General Zhaowu to the position of General Pingxi.
He skipped the "four security" generals in the middle and became the most important general in the imperial court.
At this time, Cao Su had the authority to command an army of ten thousand people. It was normal for the two battalions of Changshui and Huqi to be absorbed.
At the same time, he also recruited troops in Xijun and trained a lot of reserve troops on the spot.
Today's Cao army can be considered to be strong.
Xiao Huangmen, who came to announce the edict, was a very young eunuch.
Cao Su had never seen him before.
His face was white and beardless, and he looked clean, unlike the rough guys like them on the battlefield.
After walking into the military camp, I looked around curiously.
"Shilang Chen, these are antlers, used to stop and delay the movement of enemy troops and horses."
Cao Su led Xiao Huangmen inside and gave Wu Ming a wink.
Wu Ming understood and quickly followed Cao Su, stopping several of the entourage from Xiaohuangmen.
The attendants didn't notice, and their sight was blocked unknowingly.
Cao Su led Xiao Huangmen into the camp.
Then he reached out and took out a few huge banknotes and stuffed them into Xiao Huangmen.
The small yellow door opened the curtain, and before he could react, a handful of banknotes were stuffed into him.
"Why?"
"Cao Pingxi, what are you doing?"
Xiao Huangmen was frightened. He had never seen such a big battle before.
Cao Su stuffed it into Xiao Huangmen's pocket without any explanation, and walked to his side calmly before the people behind him came in.
A strong and terrifying body, with a formidable momentum.
He hooked the small yellow door, he was very familiar with it, and smiled as he walked in: "Shilang Chen, be careful, don't be surprised."
"Huh? Huh?"
Xiao Huangmen, who was not familiar with martial arts, was immediately confused by Cao Su's sudden enthusiasm.
Then he sat blankly on the high seat in the tent.
Cao Su invited people to serve him with wine and delicacies, and he promoted Xiaohuangmen to a high position.
This is the first time Xiao Huangmen has seen such an enthusiastic foreign general.
Even if ordinary foreign generals with higher quality would not look down on the little yellow men like them, they would never be as enthusiastic as Cao Su.
Cao Su has no airs at all.
He is now the general of Pingxi and the commander of the rebellion, a senior official of the fourth rank in the imperial court, and he is considered a senior figure in the local area.
After Cao Su sat down, everyone lined up on both sides.
Cao Su personally stood up to get the wine and poured it for Xiaohuangmen.
"Shilang Chen has come all the way here, it's really not easy."
"It was extremely hard to eat and sleep in the open air along the way."
While pouring the wine, Cao Su asked, seemingly unintentionally: "With this turmoil in Xizhou, are there any rumors in the city of gods?"
It is naturally most appropriate and accurate for Cao Su to ask senior officials from the divine capital for information.
Xiaohuangmen had received money from Cao Su to buy information, but they were embarrassed not to tell them.
After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Although Xizhou is in turmoil, it is still a thousand miles away from the capital of the gods. The capital of gods is still very stable and no one pays attention to this place."
"No, it should be said that there are too few people paying attention to this place."
"When our family was in Shendu, we heard from many people that Xizhou is very chaotic. There are robbers and demons everywhere."
"It's amazing that General Cao was able to achieve such results under such circumstances."
Xiao Huangmen turned around and flattered Cao Su.
Cao Su shook his head and said modestly: "It is all thanks to the sacrifice of the soldiers of the three armies that we are able to survive in a war-torn place like Xizhou."
All the people below were seated.
His general Zhang Ke smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are so humble."
"Thanks to you, sir, we have just fought our way out. Otherwise, how could we have broken out of the demonic tide?"
Cao Su laughed after hearing what Zhang Ke said.
He shook his head and said: "Zhang Tanma is talking nonsense again..."
"Chen Shilang, don't trust Zhang Tanma. He is the most capable general in our imperial army. Without his scouting, no one would know where the enemy army is and how many there are."
Cao Su solemnly introduced his generals.
Zhang Ke shook his head and smiled: "My old bones are nothing..."
Xiao Huangmen nodded, feeling that Cao Su was "sincere" and received every general seriously.
According to what the emperor said, he was patrolling the army instead of the emperor.
Therefore, such a link is essential to reflect the emperor's care and concern for the front-line generals.
Cao Su's arrangement was excellent in every aspect.
After the introduction of these generals, Xiaohuangmen began to introduce the condolence group from the capital city.
Except for him, the Huangmen Minister, the rest are the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites and other functional departments, each with their own personnel involved.
After the two parties exchanged names, they started drinking and eating.
On behalf of the emperor, Xiao Huangmen asked Cao Su about the specific situation of the demon rebellion in Liangzhou.
Cao Su looked solemn and shook his head.
Xiao Huangmen's heart skipped a beat and he was a little flustered: "The situation is not ideal?"
Cao Su whispered: "The situation is somewhat serious."
"The emperor must have known that a wave of demons set off from the Demon Realm, headed south, and swept through Liangzhou."
"More than ten days ago, our army fought with this force. Duxiang Hou led his army to set up a defense line in Xiping. However, it still failed to block the demon tide, causing Xiping to be destroyed."
"After Xiping was destroyed, Jincheng was left alone. The Qiang people took advantage of the chaos and came. Now Jincheng is in great danger."
In the crisis of Jincheng, the Qiang people seize chestnuts from the fire.
Xiao Huangmen is also a smart person who has read books, and he understands how serious the situation is as soon as he hears it.
But he also heard about the situation in the Demon Realm, so after hesitating for a while, he decided to give some definite information.
"But the demon chaos in Liangzhou should end soon."
"Oh? Why did Mr. Chen say this?"
Although Cao Su sent a large number of scouts to search for the happenings in Liangzhou, he didn't know much about the Demon Realm. He didn't know much about it than the Xiaohuang Clan who came to the City of Gods.
Xiao Huangmen smiled and said: "I heard that I will take action against the powerful people and gather in Liangzhou Demon Territory."
"A few days ago, I had a fight with the Black Crow Demon King."
"Although the Black Crow Demon King is strong, it is only a demon king after all. It cannot withstand the joint bombardment of many of our powerful powers, and is forced to escape into the gate of the realm again."
"Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the Demon Realm is closed."
"Once the Demon Realm passes, none of the demon soldiers and generals in Liangzhou can escape."
"And our Qianyuan Domain is not suitable for these demon soldiers and generals to survive. Sooner or later they will find a way to leave. Don't worry too much about this."
The thoughts of Xiaohuangmen represent the thoughts of the Emperor.
When Cao Su heard this, he understood.
It turns out that the emperor also likes to use delaying tactics.
"It's a pity that General Feng, we still haven't found any information about him."
Cao Su looked sad. If Feng Yuchan had not disappeared, Feng Yuchan's current position as the boss of Xijun should belong to Feng Yuchan.
Now that Feng Yuchan has left, no one knows where he went, so Xijun can only follow Cao Su's command.
What's more, at this time, Cao Su was already a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, and no one present had a higher position than him.
When he reached the fifth level, he was promoted two levels in a row, which shows the favor and love shown to Cao Su by Emperor Zhujian.
"There is no need to worry too much about General Feng's safety."
"The Feng family is a family in the capital of the gods. Even if General Feng is defeated this time, there will be no major problems in the future. This is not a crime of war."
Xiaohuangmen knows the secrets very clearly.
Although Feng Yuchan was defeated this time, he was still a famous general in the court after all.
He is also a son of a noble family trusted by the emperor. In the future, he will just cut his official position and suspend his salary for a period of time, allowing Feng Yuchan to go home and rest and adjust.
No one will sit in the vacant General Zuo position.
When I find another opportunity in the future and make contributions, I will naturally return to the throne of General Zuo.
Cao Su understood what Xiao Huangmen meant.
This means that Feng Yuchan was most likely taken back by the Feng family.
He remembered the two high-level warriors who were beside Feng Yuchan before. They should be worshiped by the Feng family, so they always guarded Feng Yuchan's side, never leaving.
"In the entire Liangzhou, Master Cao is the only one who can fight."
"If the demon soldiers retreat, sir, please continue to advance westward and do not allow the Qiang people to enter Liangzhou."
After three drinks, Xiao Huangmen conveyed his message to Cao Su.
This was also the emperor's intention, but the emperor did not say it clearly and just asked Cao Su to "act easily".
Xiaohuangmen eats people with a short mouth and treats people with soft hands.
Some key information was slightly revealed.
Cao Su understood completely immediately.
"rest assured!"
"As long as the demon soldiers retreat, why should the mere Qiang cavalry care?"
"I'm not afraid of Chen Shilang's jokes. I was in Beiliang before, and three thousand infantry defeated five thousand Qiang's so-called elite cavalry. These Qiang cavalry are much easier to deal with than demon soldiers and generals."
Cao Su revealed his glorious record.
Xiao Huangmen smiled and said: "Master Cao is famous for defeating armies and fighting generals, and his unparalleled bravery."
"Now Mr. Cao's name is extremely popular in the capital of the gods."
"By the way, Mr. Cao is still on the new list of Dragon and Tiger Pavilion chicks, ranking seventeenth. From thirty-sixth to seventeenth, Mr. Cao has made rapid progress. He is a true imperial star and a legend in the world."
Cao Su had been away on an expedition for several months, so he didn't know anything about what was going on in the capital.
But it is inevitable that the Phoenix Young List will go further.
When he was in the fifth level, he was ranked thirty-sixth on the Phoenix Young Ranking.
Later, he successfully broke through to the fourth level, his combat power skyrocketed, and he had many records of defeating powerful enemies. Among the young warriors of the fourth level, he was also among the best.
In the eyes of the outside world, Cao Su has outstanding talent in martial arts.
In less than ten years, there will be another Sima Changfeng.
