Chapter 236
Gao Han walked up slowly and glanced at the crowd around him. A clever white tiger quickly ran out and brought a chair over and placed it below Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui looked at the captain with a smile: Very good, I will remember you.
The captain was a little dumbfounded... Oh no, he was so busy flattering General Gao that he forgot about the real general.
He was worried, but then he thought, General Gao has been in Guangping Army for ten years, and it is hard to say whether the new general can defeat General Gao, so he immediately felt relieved.
General Gao sat below Cheng Hui and felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat.
In the past, he was the only one who could sit in the big tent, and he liked the feeling of being the center of attention. Now, there is suddenly another moon, which is bigger and more conspicuous than him, which naturally makes him very unhappy.
He touched the armrest. Cheng Hui had been silent since he came in. Gao Han glanced at him and said calmly, "My dear nephew, you're new here and don't know anything. It's better to put some things aside for now. It's not too late to get started once you understand the situation."
Cheng Hui smiled faintly and said the first words Gao Han said after entering the tent: "Beat the drum to gather the troops. Anyone who fails to arrive within a cup of tea will be punished. Anyone who leaves the camp without reason will be executed according to the law!"
As soon as Cheng Hui said this, everyone in the tent was shocked.
We knew this new army leader would fight General Gao, but no one expected him to be so hardcore... Should he be executed? Was he forcing General Gao to rebel?
Gao Han was also stunned.
He has been in control of the Guangping Army for more than ten years and has long been accustomed to being superior. The reason why he came so late today was to give Cheng Ziyun a warning.
He doesn't care whether this young prince will inherit the position of Marquis of Guangping in the future. After all, in the Guangping Army, he has to be a dragon coiled around him and a tiger lying down for him!
Without Gao Han, he didn't believe anyone could control the Guangping Army.
Cheng Hui's sudden words made Gao Han's face darken immediately: "My dear nephew, I have to teach you a lesson. There are some things you can't say carelessly, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!"
He had long known that Cheng Hui had brought only one personal soldier from the Marquis' Mansion with him. So, what was going on? Did he think that relying on his title as the Crown Prince would make these generals bow down to him?
"How serious is it?" Cheng Hui asked with a smile. "Can it be more serious than the deputy commander openly disregarding military discipline and leaving the camp without permission?"
"Hmph! Youngster, I'm giving your father face and wanted to give you some color, but I don't think it's necessary! Who do you think you are? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Do you think you can control the Guangping Army? If you were willing to be obedient, I could give you some of my achievements. Now it seems that's no longer necessary!"
"Someone come!" he said coldly, "The young master is unwell, take him to rest!"
"Yes!" Someone immediately stepped forward to "support" Cheng Hui.
The personal soldiers around Cheng Hui were all shocked, or rather, after hearing what Cheng Hui said, they felt that something was wrong.
He never expected that Cheng Hui would choose to confront Gao Han head-on. This is someone else's territory. You are... oh, too careless!
The guard regretted it very much, but he couldn't just run away like that, so he could only bite the bullet and go forward: "How dare you! What do you want to do?"
Faced with the old marquis's personal soldiers, the centurions were a little hesitant, after all, they represented the old marquis.
Gao Han sneered: "The young master is not in good health. Is there anything wrong with me asking someone to take him down to rest?" He winked at the others, and immediately more people gathered around.
Zheng Kai seized the opportunity and shouted, "Protect the prince!" Then he drew his sword and rushed forward, standing in front of Cheng Hui.
A group of people suddenly ran out from the other centurions and thousand households and followed Zheng Kai.
Cheng Hui sat calmly on the chair. He was not surprised at all that Gao Han jumped out. In fact, he was planning to get him down whether he jumped or not.
With Gao Han around, he, the parachuted prince, can forget about controlling the military power. If he can't defeat him from the beginning, he will only be a puppet, which is inconsistent with his plan.
At present, the big tent is divided into three groups. Some firmly support Gao Han, some follow Zheng Kai to protect themselves, and the remaining largest group is hesitant.
In terms of military talent, they probably support Gao Han more, but they don't have the courage to tie up the prince directly.
These people are not a concern. Gao Han's group is quite large, and there are probably twenty or thirty people who are willing to follow him firmly.
This Zheng Kai is quite interesting. Even Cheng Hui didn't expect that he would protect himself so firmly. Although there may be a bit of speculation in it, it is still pretty good.
He stood up slowly, and his temperament began to change gradually.
The prince who seemed delicate and tender in everyone's eyes suddenly became a little scary. Although he didn't move much, the people he saw looked as if they were being stared at by a wild beast.
Gao Han's expression suddenly changed.
He may be greedy or arrogant, but the fact that he was able to firmly control the Guangping Army for ten years proves that he is still capable.
With so many generals present, everyone could feel the changes in Cheng Hui, but he was the only one who knew best that the cold murderous intent, like a knife slapping on the face, was something that could never be revealed by someone who had never experienced killing.
Gao Han cursed the people who investigated Cheng Hui's identity in his heart.
That’s it?
Is this the coward you mentioned who was locked up in the courtyard for twenty years and didn't even dare to step out of the door?
How could that coward be so murderous? How many of his men must have been killed?
He also cursed the old Marquis of Guangping in his heart. There was no way he could run away. This must be that the old Marquis of Guangping deliberately hid his son. On the surface, he had been staying in the other courtyard and not attracting attention. In fact, he must have been severely trained somewhere!
OK!
This damn old Marquis of Guangping must have been waiting for this day!
Why did he train the gang's kids? It must be to target him!
He selectively ignored the fact that Cheng Ziyun had been imprisoned in a separate courtyard when he came to power. He was completely convinced that the old Marquis of Guangping had bad intentions and wanted to destroy the bridge after crossing it!
Cheng Hui suddenly moved...
Those who stood in front of him to protect him suddenly felt themselves being pulled aside by a gentle but irresistible force.
Including Zheng Kai, everyone had a lot of questions in their heads.
Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
Then they saw a blurry figure moving through the crowd at an incredible speed.
All the centurions and thousand-householders who obeyed Gao Han's orders and confronted Zheng Kai and his men, including a commander, all turned into flying men and flew out of the door of the big tent one after another.
After everyone was thrown out, not only was the door of the tent intact, even the door curtain was not damaged at all.
Zheng Kai:!!!
"Zheng Kai!"
"I am here!" Zheng Kai immediately knelt on one knee and responded.
"Go and tie up Gao Han and the others who are causing trouble."
"I obey your command!" Zheng Kai stood up and pointed at several centurions and commanders in a threatening manner, and walked out with him.
"Wei Yuanzhou!"
"I'm here!" Wei Yuanzhou was the commander who had not helped either side just now. When he heard Cheng Hui calling him, he immediately knelt down and responded.
"Go and capture all those military officers who are late or absent, and bring them back for further processing." Cheng Hui ordered, and then added: "Can you do it?"
Wei Yuanzhou shuddered, clasped his hands together and said, "I obey your orders! Lord, please rest assured that if I fail to complete this mission, I will be beheaded!"
"Very good, take the people with you!"
Wei Yuanzhou quickly called out to a few of his subordinates and left quickly.
When he went out, he saw Zheng Kai and his men tying up Gao Han and a group of people.
When the two men met, they both knew that the situation of the Guangping Army... was going to change, no, it had already changed!
Zheng Kai and Wei Yuanzhou have a pretty good relationship. At least compared to Bai Liangchen and Tu Gou who have defected to Gao Han, they can be considered brothers in distress.
Zheng Kai winked at Wei Yuanzhou, suggesting that he should work harder, as this new military leader would not tolerate any flaws.
Wei Yuanzhou nodded at him, indicating: Don't worry, I understand.
Zheng Kai felt that he didn't understand enough, so he winked at Gao Han and the others, indicating that Wei Yuanzhou should go and take a look.
Wei Yuanzhou looked over and immediately took a breath of cold air.
Gao Han's strength should not be underestimated. He has excellent horizontal martial arts skills and is particularly capable of surviving on the battlefield.
But now... all the people who were knocked over had a broken arm, and the angle of the break was exactly the same, which shows how precise Cheng Hui's control of strength was.
Wei Yuanzhou secretly clicked his tongue, nodded to Zheng Kai, and thanked him for the reminder.
I attach great importance to the new military leader, but not enough. This person's strength is definitely unfathomable.
Soon, Wei Yuanzhou led a group of people out of the camp to arrest the military officers who left the camp without reason.
The big tent returned to silence again, but this time, no one dared to whisper.
Everyone stood below respectfully, and the military officers who had remained neutral in the previous battle were like quails, shrinking their necks and not daring to even fart.
Soon, Zheng Kai came in carrying a group of people tied up like twisted dough sticks and threw them to the ground.
Perhaps because he was worried that Gao Han would burst into a curse, he was very considerate and covered his mouth.
Cheng Hui looked at him meaningfully. Not bad, he is a talented person.
He didn't intend to listen to Gao Han's excuses. It had nothing to do with the grudge between them. As the chief officer of the Guangping Army, Gao Han left the camp without permission, which was a capital crime.
He waved his hand and said calmly, "Just follow the rules."
Zheng Kai's heart trembled. He was about to leave with Gao Han in his arms when he suddenly stopped.
Cheng Hui raised his eyebrows and said, "Speak."
Zheng Kai said, "My Lord, what are the crimes that will be dealt with for the other men?"
Cheng Hui smiled and became even more satisfied with Zheng Kai.
"Except for those who haven't arrived yet after the drum was beaten, the rest will be considered as having offended the chief officer."
Zheng Kai's eyes suddenly lit up.
The crime of insubordination was neither a big nor a small one. He guessed that Cheng Hui meant to let those people go, so he clasped his fists and said, "Fine them twenty lashes and half a year's salary."
Cheng Hui waved his hand, indicating that this was the way to go.
The military officers who followed Gao Han originally thought they were dead, but unexpectedly they found a way out of the desperate situation. They were ecstatic and grateful to Cheng Hui.
Their actions, at the very least, were an offense against the chief officer, and at the worst, it was insubordination. Even if Cheng Hui wanted to execute them, it would not be an exaggeration.
Twenty lashes was indeed tragic, but at least my life was saved, and that was enough.
