The room was quiet for a while.

The reason for the large-scale transfer of officers and soldiers in the north this time was because Qinghe Bo wanted to purge and replace his own direct generals. This was something everyone knew, but no one expected Qinghe Bo to say it so bluntly.

The generals didn't know how to react for a moment.

Qinghebo looked calm.

"Why do I do this? Because His Majesty has ordered the arrest of Duke Cheng." He said, "You all know that Duke Cheng is on the run for treason. Do you know that Duke Cheng has already fled to the north?"

Some people in the room knew what was going on and some didn't, and there was a lot of discussion. Qinghe Bo raised his hand to signal them to be quiet.

"General Wei, why did Duke Cheng flee to the north?" he said, his eyes falling on General Wei.

General Wei's face flushed, and he wanted to say something but didn't know what.

"Because Duke Cheng knows that the North is his world," said Qinghebo, "because with people like you around, he is sure that he can be protected."

General Wei seemed both ashamed and angry.

"No, Master, we are soldiers of the Great Zhou. If Duke Cheng is guilty, we will not protect him." He said, "You cannot question us like this. So many officers and soldiers in the North were once Duke Cheng's subordinates, but the North is not his. We are all from the Great Zhou..."

Before he could finish his words, Qinghe Bo smiled and interrupted him.

"I'm questioning you?" he said, his hands on his waist, clapping his sword. "Didn't you hear me?"

What?

Everyone looked at him.

"Duke Cheng has already fled to the north." Qinghebo said, his originally calm face suddenly frowning, and he drew out the sword in his hand and chopped it on the sand table.

The huge sandbox table was broken into pieces by him with a loud bang.

The sound echoed in the night and was particularly harsh, but everyone inside and outside was silent.

"How did he get to the North?"

Qinghebo's angry voice rang out.

"How far is it from the capital to Marius Pass? How many soldiers are there? How many checkpoints are there?"

"He actually drove straight in without anyone knowing?"

He pointed the knife in his hand at General Wei.

"Tell me, how did he do that?"

General Wei's face turned red and white, and he broke out in a sweat. This was not because he was scared by the cold knife tip pointing at his nose.

"I..." he said hoarsely.

Qinghe Bo had already retracted his knife and turned his head away with a cold expression.

"If no one comes to pick him up and protect him, he won't be able to fly over," he said.

The generals all reacted and nodded immediately.

"Yes, that's it."

"I've long felt that these levels are unreliable."

They said this angrily, looking at General Wei with sarcasm.

"General Wei, what else do you have to say?" Someone else sneered and looked at him sideways, "Perhaps General Wei came here to question the master because he was asked by someone. The so-called inconvenience of transfer is inconvenient for some people, right?"

General Wei's face turned even redder.

"I can't guarantee whether there is such a person," he said, "but I will never do that. Although I don't know whether Duke Cheng is guilty of treason, since the Lord and the court have ordered his arrest, if I know where Duke Cheng is, I will definitely catch him and report back."

Qinghebo said "Oh".

"Well, General Wei will take people to arrest him," he said calmly, "The court is urging us to do so."

Now even the Yongjing Army doesn't have to go. The other generals looked sneerful, and General Wei looked even uglier.

"My Lord, there is nothing wrong with your doubts, but I think it is not appropriate to do this at this moment. Please put the overall situation first and believe that most officers and generals in the north should be mobilized and deployed. Please do it slowly. Doing this at this moment will really shake the morale of the army..." He said gritting his teeth.

Qinghebo turned around and looked at him and smiled.

"It seems that Duke Cheng is really good to you." He said, "You all refuted Shangguan Lai's doubts with sharp words and made good sense."

The other generals were even more annoyed.

"Wei Shunqing, you know nothing, stop interfering." Everyone scolded, "Do you know more than Mr. Bo?"

General Wei gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

"If Uncle knew more, why would there be a war?" he said loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Qinghe Bo's face changed suddenly.

The turning point in Qinghebo's fate was the Battle of Majiahe. He, who had always been invincible, suffered his greatest defeat. This was not because the Jin people were fierce, but because of a mutiny in the army.

Because of this mutiny, he was almost ordered to be beheaded by the emperor. Fortunately, many people begged him to save his life, but he lost his military power in the north and left in disgrace.

This was a past event that Qinghe Bo did not allow anyone to mention, and he had never been questioned like this before. The other generals were stunned.

"Very good." Qinghebo looked at General Wei and nodded, raised his hand and nodded, and said calmly, "Come here, capture him."

"Master, I have no objection to you eliminating dissidents and cleaning up the Duke's troops. I also know that this is inevitable. I just hope you can consider the overall situation. You know, the Jin people are still eyeing us covetously..." General Wei shouted.

The other generals came to their senses and rushed forward without waiting for Qinghebo's order, holding General Wei down and preventing him from speaking any more.

"It is precisely because the Jin people are eyeing us covetously that we must maintain internal peace. Otherwise, the traitor Cheng Guogong will collude with the Jin people, which will be the greatest danger." Qinghe Bo said coldly, "Take him away and find out who is behind his instructions and what his intentions are. He is disrupting our military defense."

The generals responded in unison and dragged General Wei out.

"Master, it is wrong for you to do this... You must not disrupt the morale of the army... It will not benefit you..." General Wei shouted while struggling, but his voice soon disappeared with a cry of pain.

After a burst of chaotic footsteps, the yard returned to silence.

The soldiers standing outside the government hall still had solemn expressions, as if they had seen nothing. The clerks passing by had pale faces and were even more silent. They lowered their heads and hurried away.

There was also complete silence in the government hall, with sand scattered on the ground. Qinghe Bo stood in the mess with a blank expression.

"Master." A general stepped forward and tested him. "Wei Shunqing was promoted by Zhu Shan. He was killed for causing trouble with the military pay. He must have..."

Qinghe Bo raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't talk about these trivial matters. I won't bother with him." He said, and bowed towards the capital. "The most important thing now is to catch Zhu Shan and not fail the emperor's order. As long as Zhu Shan is not caught, there will be no peace in the north."

The generals responded in unison and called in the soldiers to rearrange the sand table. However, it certainly could not be used tonight. Qinghe Bo asked everyone to disperse and only left a few generals by his side. He also walked to the side hall to rest.

"Master, the deployment has basically been arranged, there is no problem." A general looked at the deployment map in his hand, "It's just that there is one army that I don't know how to arrange..."

Qinghebo frowned slightly, and a general beside him spoke first.

"Old Four, what you said is like a military order. Isn't it difficult to arrange it?" he scolded.

The general who was called the fourth brother smiled.

"That's not what I meant," he said. "It's just that this group of people is a bit complicated."

"Complicated?" Qinghebo frowned, "What do you mean by complicated?"

"It's the Qingshan Army." said the general.

Qingshan Army, when this name was mentioned, everyone's expressions, including Qinghebo, became a little complicated.

Only a few lights were on in the side hall, which was dimmer than in the official hall. There were also fewer people, only four or five people sitting together. The atmosphere was less grim and added a bit of tranquility to the night.

But their words were not peaceful or gentle.

"This Qingshan Army must be eliminated." A general said with a fierce look.
