Wei Wuhou

Chapter 736
On February 27th in the fourth year of Wei Hou, in Linjiang City.

Linjiang is an important military town of the Wei State, and there have always been heavy troops stationed here. After the Wei State took Linjiang back from the people of the Qi State, it set up the Xingyuan of the Xiangping Camp here.

But in Linjiang in the past few days, something major has happened, and the Xiangping camp is about to change its commander.

If it is normal to change the main general, then it would be surprising that the successor is Liu Xuanba.

How old is Liu Xuanba?Will he be able to take over as the head general of the Xiangping camp?

Why?Is it because he is a confidant of the monarch?

Some people will be dissatisfied in their hearts, but these people are just sour in their hearts, and they never dare to express their dissatisfaction.

But more people still recognized Liu Xuanba's ability. After all, it was obvious to all in the past few years that Liu Xuanba managed the Battle of Ludi well.

Of course, the most important reason is that this is an edict officially issued by the monarch, so who dares to babble.

Therefore, although there were some disturbances in the handover process, everything went smoothly.

On February 27, all the affairs of Xiangping Daying had been handed over, and it was time for Xu Anhong to leave.

So on the night of February 27, a banquet was held in the Xingyuan of the Xiangping Daying Camp, and all the generals and deputy generals who could arrive at the Xiangping Daying Camp were present.

At the banquet, Xu Anhong and Liu Xuanba took the main seats, and Xu Yue, who represented the monarch, sat between them.

Although it was Xu Anhong's practice wine, most of the generals present were toasting Xu Yue's wine!
For the generals present, although Xu Yue in front of him was an eunuch whom everyone looked down upon, he was able to meet the monarch directly, so they naturally wanted to cater to him.

Xu Anhong and Liu Xuanba turned a blind eye to this situation, and even Liu Xuanba complimented Xu Yue.

Now that the monarch is in full swing, if everyone fawns on the monarch himself, they will naturally have to bow down to the people around him, even Liu Xuanba is not exempt.

When the wine was drunk, the moon was already hanging high, but all the generals in the hall were drunk, and Xu Yue, who was toasted the most, was also so.

Although he had already stepped down as the head general of the Xiangping Camp, Xu Anhong was still very charming at this time, so he ordered these drunk people to be sent down to rest.

After some busy work, there were only three people left in the overcrowded lobby just now.

Xu Anhong himself stayed here, and he didn't drink too much... Liu Xuanba also stayed here, because he was the commander of the Xiangping camp, and he knew that Xu Anhong had something to say to himself.

Those who are still here are Zeng Shou, who has been valued by Xu Anhong for the past four years, and Xu Anhong and Liu Xuanba are expected to stay with him.

Picking up the wine cup, Xu Anhong took a sip, then said with a smile: "It is said that people take tea to cool down, but now it seems that there is some truth to it!"

Although Xu Anhong said it with a smile, Liu Xuanba and the two still saw the scoundrel and self-mockery in this smile!
Liu Xuanba said at this time: "Old General, human nature... is not enough to be angry!"

This is indeed human nature, including Liu Xuanba, who just toasted Xu Yue with a few glasses of wine!

At this time, Zeng Shou also comforted him: "The old general is deeply relied on by the princes and marquises, and this time when he returns to Wu'an, he has a heavy responsibility to wait for..."

Under Xu Anhong's gaze, Zeng Shou couldn't continue speaking. Isn't this a pot that is not open and a pot to be lifted.

Sure enough, he heard Xu Anhong say: "Why... even you came to comfort this old man, thinking that this old man will just get depressed and die in depression?"

Zeng Shou, who was still a little worried about Xu Anhong just now, felt that he should be thinking too much after hearing what he said.

Xu Anhong's ability to say these words proves that he has seen clearly, so he refuses to be depressed as he said in his words.

After sighing, Xu Anhong said: "This old man is just lamenting that he has led a lifetime of soldiers... but now he can't continue to fight on the battlefield..."

Having said this, Xu Anhong did not continue, but Liu Xuanba and the two could still hear the desolation in these words.

After being speechless for a long time, Xu Anhong patted his forehead, then turned to Liu Xuan and said domineeringly: "From now on... the Xiangping camp will be handed over to you!"

Liu Xuanba nodded, and after bowing deeply to Xu Anhong, he said: "Xuanba is apprehensive about taking on this great task... I also ask the old general to give me some advice when I leave!"

Faced with Liu Xuanba's questioning, Xu Anhong was actually somewhat unexpected, this is the gift of being a teacher and a student!

Although Liu Xuanba didn't flatter Xu Yue like other people, which made Xu Anhong very fond of him, but he still thought that Liu Xuanba was a proud person, how could such a person ask for advice from others.

What's more, he was still asking for advice from his predecessor, regardless of whether Liu Xuanba in front of him was sincere or not, just by his behavior of asking questions, Xu Anhong knew that this person's future was boundless.

After thinking about it, Xu Anhong said: "You already know everything about military affairs...the old man has nothing more to say!"

The two of them have handed over the affairs of Xiangping Daying these days, and they have already said what they should say. At this time, Xu Anhong really has nothing to teach Liu Xuanba.

What's more, Liu Xuanba himself has been in the Xiangping camp for seven or eight years, and he has a comprehensive understanding of many things, and he also has his own views and judgments on the situation in Wei and Qi.

At this time, Xu Anhong asked back: "At this time, I really want to ask... What will you do after you take over as the general of the Xiangping camp?"

These words were a little difficult to answer, of course Liu Xuanba could not say anything, but he still wanted to let his predecessor see that he was not as simple as relying solely on the trust of the prince.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xuanba said: "Now that Qi has withdrawn from Lu, I think there will be no more swords in the next year..."

"The Qi State has been fighting endlessly these years, but they haven't gained much advantage... The northern border of the Qi State is still in chaos, and it's time for the Qi State to lick its wounds!" Liu Xuanba said firmly.

Back then when the Wei army invaded the Qi State, they carried out a lot of sabotage in Hualin County and Yuan County in the northern border of the Qi State. Liu Xuanba was the one who experienced this.

At that time, Wei Jun knew that it was impossible to occupy Qi, so he tried his best to destroy it, so that Qi has not yet restored northern Xinjiang to normal.

Now that the state of Wei is strong and prosperous, it has become the most correct decision for the state of Qi to rein in its edge and restore itself!
Liu Xuanba's answer was even and steady, although there was nothing outstanding about it, Xu Anhong was very satisfied... The leader of the camp is no better than others, what is needed is this stability.

After glancing at Zeng Shou, Xu Anhong asked Liu Xuanba again: "When you succeed as the general of the Great Camp, who is going to be in charge of Ludi's affairs?"

Xu Anhong meant something, and Liu Xuanba knew it well, so he heard him say: "To preside over the affairs of Ludi, one must be familiar with the affairs of Ludi..."

After taking another look at Zeng Shou, Liu Xuanba continued: "General Zeng Shou is stationed in Lu, and together with this general, he will defend Qilu's soldiers... He is well aware of military affairs!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xuanba clasped his fists and said: "I will play the role of the emperor at the meeting, and I ask General Zeng Shou to preside over the affairs of Ludi!"

Liu Xuanba's words were not only a reply to Xu Anhong, but also a warning to him... The meaning of Liu Xuanba's last words was to tell Xu Anhong that the monarch had the final say.

Xu Anhong understood this, but he also knew that as long as Liu Xuanba agreed to this matter, then the matter of Zeng Shou presiding over Ludi would be considered settled.

Among them, although Xu Anhong has certain selfishness, it is largely out of publicity. Zeng Shou is indeed the best candidate to succeed General Ludi.

"I know what you think, but I want to tell you... Only the two of you can cooperate sincerely to suppress some people in the Xiangping camp and ensure the stability of the Qilu border!" Xu Anhong said slowly.

Liu Xuanba is only 35, he is really too young, even if there is an imperial edict, some people will still be dissatisfied in their hearts.

Liu Xuanba didn't answer the words, he just picked up the wine cup and drank a glass by himself!
Xu Anhong didn't take it seriously, but he turned to Zeng Shou and said, "Zeng Shou, don't disappoint General Liu's trust and trust!"

Zeng Shou really didn't know what to say now, his teacher was so kind to him, and even arranged the way for him before leaving.

Zeng Shou stood up, bowed slightly to Liu Xuanba, and said: "The last general will definitely live up to the general's trust!"

Liu Xuanba nodded, he didn't need to talk much at this time, whether Zeng Shou was competent or not was ultimately up to him.

"Okay... what I drank just now was all fake wine, this time... a toast, the three of us have a full drink!" Xu Anhong smiled again, this time it was much more natural than before.

Liu Xuanba and Zeng Shou raised their wine glasses, and Liu Xuanba said: "I wish you a smooth trip, General!"

Xu Anhong put away his smile, and then said: "The land of Qilu will be handed over to you..."

No need to say any more, the three of them took up their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp, showing their demeanor as an all-powerful warrior.

Putting down the wine cup, he listened to Xu Anhong say: "After decades of fighting, the emperor has an edict... you can feel free to take off your armor!"

Is this comforting myself, or is it really downplaying everything?Liu Xuanba and the two looked at Xu Anhong, but they couldn't get a real answer.

But at this time, they really realized that no matter how beautiful they are, they are still the humble subjects of the monarch!
A single edict can deprive you of everything. In the past, the victorious generals who ruled the nations were nothing more than old men over the age of sixty.

As a result, in the hearts of the two, the awe of Wei Wuji increased even more, which also allowed them to go further in the future.
