"What did you say!?"
"This is impossible!!!"
When Pingcheng County Sheriff heard the report from his subordinates, his face was full of disbelief.
"Sir, what I said is true! I heard it from a captain of the Iron-Blooded Battalion with my own ears."
"Now, Wood has not only been dismissed from his post, but his generals have also been dispersed and assigned to various military camps. Even the three major battalions are currently under the direct management of the prince!!"
After hearing what his men said, the Sheriff's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
The other ministers around also looked shocked.
"In just one day, this Pingcheng has actually changed!"
Just in the morning, they were still thinking that if they went to Wood's territory, the prince would definitely suffer a bitter fruit.
But I never expected it!
The dignified general of Pingcheng, Wood, known as the Lord of the North, was actually dismissed from his post by the prince.
If this subordinate hadn't recounted it again, it would be hard for everyone to believe it.
That's Wood!
In his eyes, the generals and local officials who were treated politely by the emperor were treated as nothing more than trivial matters.
He has always been strong on others, and no one has ever dared to challenge him directly.
What's more, it's still in his camp.
What method did the prince use to make Wood resign obediently without causing any big trouble?
This is really incredible.
Just when several people were shocked, a subordinate suddenly ran into the hall.
"Sir, the prince has entered the city with a group of soldiers and guards!"
...
The motorcade drove through the streets of Pingcheng.
On both sides were people named Bai with curious eyes.
But his eyes were not on these armored soldiers, nor on the exquisite Luan Jia.
But in this team, General Wood was actually sitting outside the carriage, holding the horse's rope for the prince's lance! ! ? ?
"What on earth is going on? Am I right? General Wood actually thought he was a groom??"
"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that General Wood would actually do such a thing. Even if this is the prince, how did he do it!"
Before the discussion was over, the people started to make more noise again.
On the other side of the street, dozens of local officials were seen rushing in the direction of the convoy as if they were racing.
There is no image of an official. Some people even don't care if their hats fall off while running.
This kind of scene has never been seen by the old man who has lived in Pingcheng all his life.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
It seemed that he was still a little unaccustomed to it. None of these officials even saluted him, and Wood's face turned livid.
But he had no choice but to endure it.
All his subordinates are now under Bai Qi's nose. As long as he dares to act rashly or show any rebellious thoughts.
The prince only had to raise his hand, and these men would be crushed to death like ants immediately.
After having been a general for half my life, it was extremely uncomfortable to become a white body, not to mention being manipulated by others.
At this time, facing a group of officials outside the car who had changed their attitude, Liu Qi didn't even get out of the car.
After less than a few seconds of silence, a voice was heard coming from the carriage.
"Wu Tianxu, come to Guanyi later and come see me!"
Wu Tianxu was the county guard of Pingcheng. Hearing the prince's voice, he agreed repeatedly and knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.
"I obey my orders! I obey my orders!"
It wasn't until the motorcade passed by that he and the officials heaved a long sigh of relief.
...
In front of the official post gate.
Liu Qi slowly walked out of the car.
Wood stood aside, looking as high-spirited as before.
What made him most uncomfortable was that the prince didn't even look at him, and walked straight into the room with a group of guards.
When the door was closed, Wood was slightly stunned.
He suddenly felt very dazed, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
"General."
At this time, Cheng Rong came over, and he was polite to Wood and kept the original title.
"What do you call a general? I am no longer a general!!"
After saying that, he tossed his sleeves and walked away in frustration...
When he arrived at the house, Liu Qi lazily leaned on the chair, closed his eyes, and laughed involuntarily.
Qin Wei and Zhao Wenhui looked at each other. Even now, they are still very confused.
"Your Highness, what happened today?"
Liu Qi chuckled lightly.
"Didn't I tell you earlier? Although the matter of the Xiongnu is important, right now, I cannot change my original plan."
"Yes, Your Highness, but you never said anything?"
After Qin Weiyan asked, Liu Qi finally opened his eyes.
"Do you need to say it? Haven't you all seen it?"
"Remove Wood's military power and suppress the forces in the north. This is my king's plan!!"
Looking at the confused looks in their eyes, Liu Qi continued.
"Since we arrived in Pingcheng, you all know what kind of person Wood is."
"Whether it is in the eyes of local officials or in the hearts of the people, even all the soldiers have already regarded him as the true Lord of the North."
"It's even reached the point where even if the common people don't know the emperor, they will know Wood!!"
Qin Wei was suddenly enlightened.
"So, His Highness is deliberately suppressing Wood and killing their arrogance, right?"
Liu Qi nodded.
"Not entirely."
"Right now, although the Xiongnu are our biggest enemies, if the troops in the north don't cooperate, this matter will definitely be difficult to achieve."
"I don't have much time, but I don't have time to whirl with Wood slowly here, so I either don't do it, or I do it the most ruthlessly!"
"Directly reduce his military power and divide his subordinates so that the forces in the north can no longer become an obstacle to my king's battle against the Huns."
It has to be said that Liu Qiwan's move of sweeping the fire under the fire shocked Zhao and Qin.
Deceptively simple.
But everyone is aware of Wood's power.
In just one day, he had all his rights in his hands. I wonder who else can do it?
But at this time, Zhao Wenhui asked with a puzzled look.
"Your Highness, if that's the case, why don't we know anything about it? It seems that only General Bai knows. Also, when were your troops dispatched to the Shenwei Camp? There are so many people, and they didn't notice?"
Yes, this is also Qin Wei's doubt.
I didn't tell them, it was easy to understand, His Highness had a deep meaning.
But until now, he had not figured out that tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared in the plains, as if falling from the sky.
It's really incredible that none of Wood's men even found anyone.
After Liu Qidi took a sip of tea, his answer immediately left the two of them stunned.
