Wei Wuhou

Chapter 735
On February [-]th of the fourth year of Marquis Wei, in a city in the western part of the State of Lu, an envoy from Wu'an was sitting on the throne.

After taking a last sip of tea, Xu Yue asked dissatisfiedly, "General Liu, why hasn't Xu Zhuguo arrived yet? I came here with your majesty's will!"

In the middle of the hall, Liu Xuanba, who had already restrained the entire army in Ludi, was sweating on his brow, and he didn't know how to answer the envoy of Wu'an's question.

But at this moment he had no choice but to reply: "The envoy wait a moment, Xu Zhuguo has just arrived in Ludi not long ago, and he went to the front line to patrol, these days it is so..."

Three years have passed, Liu Xuanba's sharpness has been restrained a lot, and this calm appearance has the shadow of a veteran like Xu Anhong.

In the past few years, the three sides of Wei State, north, south, west, and west, have been considered stable. Wei State only has a lot of friction with Qi State in the east, but the scale of the battle is only less than 5 people.

But the battles were all within the territory of Lu State, which made Liu Xuanba, who presided over Lu State, make great progress, and his title was raised by one level to become the imperial army.

At the beginning, Wang Xiu was the only one in the direct line of the monarch with the title of Royal Guard, and he, Liu Xuanba, became the second.

Recalling back then, Liu Xuanba and Wang Xiu were still partners, and they were both the school lieutenant Sima. At that time, they were already Wei Wuji's right-hand men.

What Liu Xuanba is most fortunate about now is that he followed Wei Wuji ten years ago without hesitation.That's why he is in such a powerful position today.

Xu Yue's questioning was only to express his urging intention, he would not be dissatisfied with Liu Xuanba.

Others don't know that, as the monarch's trusted eunuch, Xu Yue is very aware of the monarch's reliance on Liu Xuanba, and the imperial edict in his arms now has something to do with Liu Xuanba.

Thinking of this, Xu Yue smiled and said: "What General Liu said is that now we can only wait slowly for Xu Zhuguo!"

…………

On the field outside Qiucheng, Xu Anhong, under the protection of guards, rode to Qiucheng at high speed.

A few years have passed, Xu Anhong's temples are full of gorgeous hair, but he is still galloping like he was back then, looking like a sword that never grows old.

The new king succeeds, Vientiane is renewed... The situation Xu Anhong imagined did not happen, and now he is still the main general of the Xiangping camp, one of the only two pillar generals of the Wei state.

Now that the battle of Yu Qi has really come to a halt, Xu Anhong himself is really relieved that the Xiangping camp can finally live in peace for a while.

But just now he received another summons, and an envoy from Wu'an had arrived, which made Xu Anhong's heart hang again.

He had already learned the content of the Great Court Meeting in early February, and he knew that after three years of silence, the monarch already had the idea of ​​flexing his muscles.

Now that the envoy of Wu'an is here, Xu Anhong can't help worrying that the war with Qi that just stopped will break out again.

Soon, Qiu Cheng appeared in front of Xu Anhong's eyes, and the group immediately rode into the city.

After four years of operation, the land of Lu has finally settled down. Wei Guo re-established a county government on this land to collect taxes.

More than four years have passed, although the people in Ludi still consider themselves Lu people, but they are also used to the rule of Wei State, after all, life has to go on.

After rushing to the general's yamen, Xu Anhong walked directly inside. Although he is one of the most powerful people in the Wei state, he still dare not be careless when facing the envoys of the monarch.

After passing through the double courtyard, the lobby of the general's office appeared in front of his eyes, and Xu Anhong also saw Liu Xuanba in the lobby.

Seeing Xu Anhong arriving, Liu Xuanba walked to the entrance of the lobby and said, "General Zhu Guo, you are back!"

Xu Anhong nodded to Liu Xuanba, and then looked at Xu Yue who was directly in front of the hall, the eunuch who represented the will of the monarch.

Xu Yue also looked at Xu Anhong who entered the hall, the only Zhu Guo general who was still active inside and outside the court!
So Xu Yue didn't dare to push him too hard, and walked slowly to Xu Anhong's side, and said, "It's a good thing that General Zhu Guo is on his way!"

Although Xu Anhong looked down on eunuchs and eunuchs, he also knew that these people should try not to offend them, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

So Xu Anhong also replied: "The envoys are recruiting each other, how dare I be negligent!"

Afterwards, the three of them all said some scenes, but because they had their own thoughts, they stopped talking.

Finally, Xu Yue said: "Xu Zhuguo, the monarch has a decree for you, let's accept the edict first, and then talk about it slowly!"

Hearing what the eunuch said, the emperor's edict was for himself alone, which made Xu Anhong a little uneasy. Who knows what the content of the edict will be!

After saying this, Xu Yue turned around and walked to the main seat in the lobby. After standing still, he slowly took out an imperial edict from the box on the main case.

"Xu Anhong accepts the edict!" Xu Yue read aloud, and then shifted his gaze from the edict to Xu Anhong.

Not only Xu Anhong, but also Liu Xuanba who was standing beside him knelt down to the ground after Xu Yue read it, ready to listen to the king's instruction.

"The imperial edict says...Shanyang Lord has worked hard and made great achievements. He is the leader of the country, and he should take on the important task. Let him return to Wu'an...to be ready for use!"

"Xiangping camp is temporarily controlled by Liu Xuanba..."

The content of the imperial edict is very short, but the content inside is so rich that the two people in the hall couldn't digest it for a while.

Xu Anhong already had a bad premonition, but he didn't expect such a result. He was deposed from the military power!
On the other hand, Liu Xuanba felt that the happiness came too suddenly, so he became the main general of the Xiangping Camp?
Although it was only a temporary restraint, but Liu Xuanba looked around the entire Xiangping camp, he didn't know who could be more suitable for this position than him... Of course, the premise is that Xu Zhuguo will never come back.

Liu Xuanba had a premonition that after Xu Zhuguo left this time, he might really not come back.

Today's Wei State is already in the era of the new monarch, and it is time for these veterans of the Zhaohou period to give up their positions and let them, young people, write history.

Afterwards, Xu Yue smiled and said: "Shanyang Lord, accept the edict!"

Just now Xu Yue also called Xu Anhong Xu Zhuguo, but now after reading the imperial edict, he also called Xu Anhong the Lord of Shanyang.

Although this day had been expected for a long time, Xu Anhong still couldn't accept it for a while.

After Xu Yue reminded him, Xu Anhong got up tremblingly, took two steps forward and said, "I...accept the imperial edict!"

Just now he was the general who rode his horse into Qiucheng, but now he seemed to be unable to walk steadily, seeing this situation, Liu Xuanba couldn't help suppressing his joy.

After all, Xu Anhong has also taught Liu Xuanba a lot of things in the past three years, and he can be regarded as half of Liu Xuanba's teacher. How can he stimulate the other party at this time.

Xu Yue didn't care about these things, he just listened to him: "Shanyang Jun, after you and General Liu have handed over, you can go to Wu'an with me!"

Holding the imperial edict in his hand, Xu Anhong felt mixed feelings, but he also knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, the monarch had already arranged the way for him.

So Xu Anhong said: "I...you understand, I will hand over all the affairs of the Xiangping camp, and then return to Wu'an with the envoy!"

These words were somewhat ambiguous. Before Xu Yue came to Ludi, Wei Wuji told him to ask Xu Anhong to go back as soon as possible.

Xu Yue then asked: "I don't know how long it will take for the old general?"

Hearing the old general's voice, Xu Anhong felt even more uncomfortable, but he still replied: "Xiangping camp is located in Linjiang, from here to the delivery, I'm afraid... ten days will be enough!"

These words are well-founded, which shows that Xu Anhong has accepted the reality, which makes Liu Xuanba on the side feel admiration.

If this happened to him, it would be difficult for him to adjust his mentality in a short time!

So at this time, he also chimed in and said: "But as the old general said, it will take at least ten days!"
