In the big tent, Ji Xin took the initiative and stood proudly. Just now Huang Jun was ordered out of the tent by Wu Gen. Ji Yan wanted to get up several times, but was stopped by Shui Congyue's cold eyes, so she had to hint to her cronies to dissuade her.
Ji Xin naturally would not miss such an opportunity to perform, so he raised objections to Wu Gen in public.
"Zhenfu, we are facing a powerful enemy. We need the fearless army to work together to defend against the powerful enemy. How can we drive away the counselor as soon as he comes? There are experts in the arts, and the counselor is the chief of strategy, but he is not good at military strategy. You should know people and make good use of them. How can we convince the public by resorting to harsh measures if the discussion is not appropriate? Although a new official needs to establish military authority when taking office, it is not such a legislation, and it really loses the style of appeasement." Ji Xin stood in the hall and talked eloquently, but it seemed that generous.
"Ji Xin, it's true that you didn't take the road provided by heaven, and you came here because there is no door to hell. I wanted to treat you as if you didn't exist for the sake of the young master, but I didn't want to jump out on my own initiative. Come on, bring it up." Wu Gen smiled and said slowly, not at all angry because the other party had refuted his face.
Yang Zheng silently stood up from the corner, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and handed them to the handsome case.
Wu Gen picked up a few pages and flipped through them. He put his feet on the ground and said angrily: "Ji Xin, I originally thought you were just domineering, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. You openly deducted the military pay of your subordinates and embezzled public funds. They built houses in various places, kept maids and concubines in the army, and did not care about military affairs all day long, but just cultivated the party for personal gain.
What's even more disgusting is that you secretly interact with the Lu family and the Gu family. Let me ask you, are you thinking of collaborating with internal and external enemies so that you can have a place of refuge if the Ji family is defeated? How can a duplicitous guy like you stay in the army? "
The curse made Ji Xin a little confused on the spot and he had to turn his head to look at Ji Yan.
Ji Yan was also shocked. The crimes mentioned by Wu Gen were all punishable by beheading. If they were found guilty in public, would Ji Xin still be alive?
At this point, she finally had no choice but to speak out, and turned slightly in the direction of Wu Gen, "Zhen Fu, it is better to have solid evidence for such a serious crime. Otherwise, it will be empty talk, and it will stain the reputation of my subordinates."
Wu Gen sneered repeatedly and handed the paper on the table to Ji Yan, "Young master, you might as well take a closer look. It's okay if you don't want these subordinates."
Ji Yan took it and looked at it. There were land deeds and letters with other families, many of which contained resentments against the Ji family. I remember very clearly on the paper how much money I had embezzled from joining the army, and even how many concubines and properties there were, and where they were located.
How could Ji Yan not be frightened by such detailed evidence? Regardless of whether the evidence was true or false, it was not easy to collect it even with all the effort. It can be seen that although Wu Gen was not in the Xingshan Fearless Army, he had already made plans to deal with the people he led. The cronies came.
This made Ji Yan, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, furious. She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said with a smile, "Wu Gen, this matter needs careful investigation. The war is coming. Lieutenant generals involved in the army must be more cautious. It is better to let the matter go for now, let Ji Xin kill the enemy in front of the battle, and then judge his guilt based on his military exploits after the war."
"No, the more we face a war, the more we must improve military discipline. If everyone only discusses it after the war, then the military discipline of the Northern Army will be abolished." Wu Gen flatly refused, without giving the other party any face, "Withhold military pay. , being a traitor and disobeying your boss in public, none of which is a serious crime. Niu Chao." 33
Wu Gen shouted loudly, and Niu Chao rushed in with several people. He gritted his teeth at Ji Xin with ill intentions, "Take this thief down and kill him."
All the generals in the tent were shocked. They thought that Wu Gen's new appointment might burn some people, but they didn't expect that Wu Gen would burn them to death. For a time, except for several major generals such as Shui Congyue and Baoxiang, the expressions of everyone else changed drastically.
Ji Xin turned pale with fright. He just wanted to show off in front of Ji Yan. He didn't expect Wu Gen to be so ruthless and wanted to kill him as soon as he entered the camp to sacrifice the flag. Just as he was about to resist, he suddenly felt a fierce murderous intent coming towards him. He turned around and saw that the water looked like ice from the moon, and he was staring at him coldly.
This man's abilities were well known in the military, and he was extremely brave. For a moment, Ji Xin's legs and feet became weak, and he was pinned to the ground by Niu Chao and others. In panic, Ji Xin could only kowtow to Ji Yan repeatedly, "Young master, save me. I was wronged. Wu Gen wants to eliminate dissidents and kill me to establish his authority."
"Wu Gen, how can you be so arrogant?" Ji Yan stood up suddenly, eyebrows raised, pointing at Wu Gen and said, "You, the governor, are the governor of my Ji family. You are good at killing my people. How do you get the qualifications?"
Bang, Wu Gen slapped the case and stood up. With such great strength, Shuai Case was shattered with the sound.
"Ji Yan, who gave you the courage to be bold in front of me? Now the entire province is ready to take action. Why is no family coming to support the Ji family? Who doesn't want your Ji family to fall? There are nearly 60,000 coalition forces in front of me. Our Northern Army only has 20,000 people, and the situation is in a critical situation. You are still here pretending to be a young master to me, playing tricks of fighting for power and profit, and you have no idea of priorities." Wu Gen was so angry that he stepped in front of Ji Yan and said word by word .
"The Ji family is gone. You, a young master, are no different from a commoner. I am still worthy of being used by others. You can only end up dead and exterminated. Let me tell you, today I am going to be arrogant and domineering. I am going to be arrogant and domineering." Eliminate dissidents. Only in this way can the Northern Army be able to fight for a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.
And you, Ji Yan, are just one of my men at this time. Ji Ye has already said that if you, the three young masters, interfere in military affairs here, you will be punished according to military law without mercy. If it weren't for Ji Ye's sake, I would have dealt with you today. When the time comes, you can see whether the lord wants me to lead the troops to fight and protect the Ji family, or whether he wants you, an incompetent and unruly young master who doesn't know the general situation.
Sit down and don't say another word without my permission. If you do it again, I won't kill you, I'll just tie you up and throw them to Ji Ye. "
Looking at the ferocious Wu Gen, Ji Yan's eyes were filled with tears. Ever since she was a child, no one had dared to be so rude to her. For a moment, she, who had always been sharp-tongued, could not say a word.
"Hold back your tears. Don't disturb our military morale. How can we cry like weeping?" Wu Gen reached out his hand and pushed Ji Yan roughly, pushing Ji Yan back to her seat.
After scolding him angrily, Wu Gen felt secretly happy in his heart. He turned his head and proudly raised his chin towards Shui Congyue. Look, this is what pretentious women have to do and learn from it.
Shui Congyue said nothing, gently rubbed his fist, and began to touch Wu Gen's body where he had punched.
Wu Gen knew how to give up when he was ready. When he turned to face the crowd, his face was already filled with frost. He kicked away the remains of the handsome case in front of him and returned to his seat.
Pointing to Ji Xin on the ground, "Why is this person still here? Is it possible that he needs to be raised to have meat slaughtered during the New Year?" Upon hearing this, Niu Chao grinned, pulled Ji Xin's hind legs and dragged him out.
Wu Gen turned around and saw that Ai Kai, Ji Dai and Chi Huahe were looking down at Ji Xin. They smiled slightly and said, "Three of you, you have heard about bravery for a long time. We meet for the first time today. You might as well help me, the governor." How's it going?"
The expressions of the three people suddenly changed. They didn't know why this person was targeting them. They quickly stood up and held their hands in their hands and said, "Please give me the order, and my subordinates will do as they please."
"Okay, as expected, Ji Ye is right. You three are reliable." Wu Gen lazily leaned on the back of his chair and pointed at Ji Xin, who had been dragged to the door. "Help me take off this person's head." Come."
Ai Kai and the other three were stunned and looked at each other, understanding that Wu Gen wanted to hand in the certificate of surrender himself. Seeing the unkind looks from everyone around them, the three of them couldn't help but secretly complain, what should they do about such an offending thing. But if they don't do it, the three of them will be punished by this domineering governor. This man even dared to scold the young master, but his neck was not strong enough to bear the knife.
"I obey." Even though they were reluctant in their hearts, the three of them agreed loudly, turned around and pulled Ji Xin out.
The tent became quiet. Huang Jun's face turned pale with fright, his legs were trembling, and he quietly moved outside the tent.
"I, the governor, will allow you to leave." As he was approaching the door, Wu Gen, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly said sadly.
"Suppressor, spare your life. I am incompetent. I am willing to resign as counselor." Huang Jun was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed to Wu Gen.
"Since you voluntarily resign as counselor, I will reluctantly agree to it. The military meeting is not over yet, so you can wait on the sidelines." Wu Gen waved his hand boredly and asked Huang Jun to stand at the door and watch the door.
After a while, Ai Kai and the others walked back into the tent with Ji Xin's head and said, "Report to Zhenfu, my subordinates have already killed this thief."
"Okay, not bad. Let's put it in the middle of the big tent. You three can sit back and continue participating in the military meeting." Wu Gen smiled and nodded at the three of them.
Ai Kai placed Ji Xin's head on the ground in the middle of the tent, and the strong smell of blood quickly spread in the tent. Looking at Ji Xin's eyes that had lost their luster and refused to close, everyone felt a chill on the back of their necks.
Wu Gen glanced at Ji Yan, who was pale and glazed over, and coughed, "Ji Huan."
Plop, Ji Huan, who had already been frightened, fell to his knees on the ground in fright, "Sir, I am willing to resign and make way for someone worthy of my honour." After saying this, he kowtowed heavily on the ground.
"Ahem." This made Wu Gen a little embarrassed. He stood up, walked to Ji Huan, and helped him up, "Ji Huan, I don't want to kill you. You are different from them. When I'm not around, , I know how much you protect the Fearless Army. Therefore, not only will I not kill you, I will also entrust you with important tasks. However, it is not appropriate for you to stay in the army any longer. This is fine, and you will go to law enforcement. Let’s join the team, work with Niu Chao and the others to eliminate the traitors in the army, and when the war begins, how about we transform into a team to supervise the battle together.”
"Thank you... thank you for your support." Ji Huan, who had escaped from death, burst into tears when he heard this, and was about to kneel down to Wu Gen again.
"Hey, since we are brothers, don't kneel down all the time, do your job well, I care about you." Wu Gen patted Ji Huan on the shoulder and personally sent him back to his seat.
There was silence in the tent. Everyone was shocked by Wu Gen's various methods, but no one dared to make a sound.
In addition to the old man Wuweijun, people like Ai Kai actually looked down upon Wu Gen. He was not good at cultivation, had a bad background, and was said to have a bad temperament.
Originally, today's preparation was just a formality, but I didn't expect that this guy would kill people and degrade them as soon as he arrived. His methods were ruthless and left no room for resistance. If this fell into his hands, it would really be a dead end, and there was fear in his heart.
Wu Gen sat back in his seat, put his hands on his knees, and glanced around the crowd, "Everyone, I feel that Wu Gen is vicious, kills without blinking an eye, and has no tolerance for others." Without waiting for anyone to answer, Wu Gen shook his head mockingly, "On a normal day, I wouldn't be willing to be conceited, just give it a sloppy look, and let it go.
However, at this time, the thieves had already reached the city and put their knives against our throats. "Wu Gen's voice suddenly rose, his eyes were bright, "I don't have time to use those tricks to control people's hearts, and I don't want to control them. Now I don't care what your background is or what mountains you have, you must obey military orders here. Don't play tricks on me or be cunning. Internal friction will only put other brothers in danger.
I just want you to understand that as long as I am the governor for one day, you must be obedient. Otherwise, I am not afraid of losing a few more heads in the army. Also, in the future, no outsiders will be allowed to interfere in military matters, especially in the logistics area. I just pretended not to see what happened in the past. If anyone dares to reach out next time, I will chop off their heads together. Do you understand? "
"Understood." All the generals in the big tent agreed.
"Since everyone is here, I will reorganize the Northern Army. Shui Xiaowei and his troops will be the forwards, Xue Xiaowei and his troops will be the left army, Bao Xiaowei will lead Tudan and Lexi as the right army, and Ai Kai will As soon as the troops were merged into the right army, they were subject to the orders of Lieutenant Bao. The troops of Ji Dai and Chi Huahe were transferred to the central army and were led by Zhang Wuyang. As for Zu Yuantong's troops being appointed to the rear army, there may be any objection."
"I will obey the command of the town."
Some people died, but not completely...
