However, the suffocating calm in the entire tent did not last long.
"General, I understand!" Pei Zilie gritted his teeth and took the first step forward to salute. Although his official position and age were placed here, the first statement seemed a bit abrupt, but anyway, Pei Zilie did not intend to make it now, and there was no second one.
It’s a choice, so it’s better to be more straightforward.
Seeing Pei Zilie who was the first to stand up, Ningyuan General Ren Zhong hesitated for a moment, but also took a step forward: "Yes!"
Ren Zhong's importance in the army is not comparable to that of Pei Zilie. Although his rank as General Ningyuan is slightly higher than that of Pei Zilie's General Dianwei, Ren Zhong has been in the army for a long time, and his reputation and connections are not as high as those of a young man like Pei Zilie.
What people can compare to, even Xiao Maha, is slightly inferior to it.
Ren Zhong stood up to express his position at this time, but it was not just him. Sure enough, before Ren Zhong could stand back, a general who was usually close to Ren Zhong, and could even be said to be following Ren Zhong's lead,
People who joined the army and others came forward one after another, and the whole camp was quite lively for a while, and the wallflowers and centrists who had come to watch the show with clear attitudes no longer hesitated at this time. The wallflowers and centrists did not mean that they would not choose.
Once there is a discrepancy in strength between the two sides, these guys will be the first to smell the news.
Sometimes the straw that breaks the camel's back is a straw in the wall.
Eyes fell on Fan Meng one after another. Everyone knew that in this transfer of power, Fan Meng would be the one with the most opinions. After all, compared to Xiao Mohe, Fan Meng had less military achievements, both in terms of qualifications and age.
Whether it was the connections in the army, they were actually better, but who would have thought that Wu Mingche valued Xiao Mohe from the beginning to the end, and had no intention of giving Fan Meng a chance, but Xiao Mohe completed everything almost perfectly.
There is no flaw at all, and it’s really hard to find fault with.
At this point, there was no room for maneuver. Fan Meng didn't know what the consequences would be if he didn't say anything, but he knew very well that Wu Mingche would not make himself comfortable in that case.
This time Wu Mingche continued to write a letter requesting to be disbanded and returned to his homeland, but His Majesty still refused to agree. It can be seen that even if he almost suffered a defeat in the later stages of the Battle of Luliang, His Majesty's trust and favor for Wu Mingche are still there. As long as His Majesty's trust is still there.
, Wu Mingche can sit firmly in the position of Sikong and can return to the army to take charge of the army at any time. In addition, Wu Mingche's connections, reputation or qualifications are not comparable to Fan Meng, not even Fan Meng's brother.
Fan Yi, the governor of Jingzhou, could only hold a candle to him.
Therefore, when Wu Mingche is alive, no one can challenge Xiao Mohe's position.
Fan Meng took a deep breath. He could see the eagerness of the guys around him. If he stood up and said "no" at this time, it goes without saying that he would definitely become the target of public criticism.
This short period of time, in Fan Meng's feeling, was extremely long. Under the gazes of many eyes, he still took a step forward: "Yes!"
At this time, there is no choice.
Feeling that Fan Meng finally lowered his head, Xiao Mohe raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and said loudly: "Thanks to the support of all the generals, Xiao Mohe will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!"
"General Zuo Wei is mighty!" This time the generals said in unison without any hesitation.
Wu Mingche shook his head slightly and looked at Fan Meng, who clearly had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. This guy is a good fighter, but it's a pity that he is too confused. As long as his brother is still alive, he will hold the position of Governor-General for the rest of his life.
No, Wu Mingche chose Xiao Mohe also so that he could stop his thoughts as soon as possible and not become a tool used by others.
After all, with Chen Xu's always deep imperial thoughts, how could he allow the two brothers of the Fan family to take charge of the two armies of Nanchen, one in the east and the other in the west? Even an ordinary person would not do this, so Fan Meng did not care about this thing.
The coveting of the position of military commander-in-chief of the six frontier states is nothing more than wishful thinking.
Sometimes balance is far more important than your achievements. Xiao Mohe was personally selected by Wu Mingche. In order to appease Wu Mingche and these frontline soldiers, Xiao Mohe was allowed to sit in this position. For Chen Xu
,Why not do it.
What's more, Xiao Mohe is a calm man. He always keeps a low profile internally and doesn't like arguments. However, he fights bravely externally, making his enemies frightened. Compared with Fan Meng, he is not bad at all. What's more, Xiao Mohe has the disadvantage of having a short network.
In Chen Xu's eyes, this may not be an advantage.
Compared with the generals in the army, Chen Xu, as the emperor of Nanchen, certainly didn't know who could fight. It is for this reason that there is a big difference between generals and commanders. There is a gap in vision and knowledge between the two sides.
Not even a little bit.
Wu Mingche squinted his eyes. Xiao Mohe was an out-and-out handsome man. In Wu Mingche's view, juniors such as Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie could be regarded as generals now. In the future, after training, they might become handsome men. But he couldn't really see clearly.
Yes, but he is still the same Li Xingchen.
This young man seems to be inconspicuous now, but every time he sees him, Wu Mingche always feels a slight chill down his spine, like an old fox in the mountains encountering a difficult opponent.
As for what kind of talent Li Xingchen is, it is difficult for Wu Mingche to evaluate. He has never shown his ability on the battlefield, but his intelligence and ability to understand everything and his seemingly unintentional remarks that always hit the key points made Wu Mingche take a closer look.
Later, I always felt that this young man was different.
But now Wu Mingche calls himself a handsome man, and the only thing that he can't see through is that he is more handsome. Thinking of this, Wu Mingche was shocked, and a word came to his mind.
Hero.

"General Zuowei?" Li Xingchen looked at Xiao Shilian with a happy face and raised his eyebrows. In his impression, Xiao Mohe seemed to have been directly promoted to the Three Dukes from General Wu Yi because of his great merits, or there was an intermediate step, maybe it was
This is the left guard general.
(Author's note: Historically, Xiao Maha was granted the title of General Youwei after the Battle of Luliang)
Xiao Shilian said with a smile: "General Wei, keep going up, and you will be the general. Your Majesty is really interesting this time."
"If you have the guts to say this to His Majesty, go and say it to His Majesty's face." Li Xingchen poured down a basin of cold water without hesitation and pursed his lips, "Now is not the time to be happy. Let's wait. In addition to General Xiao, His Majesty also has to treat the rest of the people.
Rewards for generals. After all, on paper, we won the Battle of Luliang. If Your Majesty is really interested, the rewards given to the other generals will definitely be the same. But if Your Majesty doesn’t want General Xiao to feel comfortable, this reward will definitely be there.
Deviated."
"This..." Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows, "Will your Majesty be able to embarrass my father?"
Li Xingchen smiled bitterly: "How can you and I figure out His Majesty's thoughts? I can only say... I hope."
