Chapter 780: Establishing Authority

Stormy City.

Cai Mansion.

As the Minister of War of the Nanping Kingdom, Cai Cheng is considered to have a high position in Nanping. The mansion he lives in is also quite luxurious and covers an extremely large area. It is the first time for an outsider to come here. If there is no one to guide him, he is likely to get lost inside. .

At this time in the hall, Cai Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, was sitting at the front seat, drinking tea. His face, which was as black as ink in the palace before, had completely recovered and became calm and relaxed.

Sitting next to Cai Cheng was a young man. This young man was Cai Cheng's nephew Cai Guang, who was also the commander-in-chief of the army stationed at the camp on the outskirts of Fengyu City.

"Uncle, who is that Wu Fan? How come His Majesty is so fond of him?" Cai Guang asked Cai Chengdao.

"Hmph, who knows where he came from, maybe he is just a concubine of His Majesty!" Cai Cheng said angrily.

When Wu Fan was mentioned, Cai Cheng was in an extremely bad mood. Wu Fan had not only pushed against him in the palace before, but now he had become the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He, as the Minister of War, had been sidelined. He had no good impressions of Wu Fan. In addition, Cai Guang was the only one here, so Cai Cheng naturally had no scruples when speaking ill of Wu Fan.

"Uncle, don't worry. I have already made arrangements for the camp. When he passes by, I will give him a warning and let him know that in our army in Nanping, you are the one who has the final say, even if he has His Majesty's support. It’s useless!” Cai Guang said with a smile.

Although Wu Fan may be Wu Ya's mistress, Cai Guang is not afraid at all. Wu Ya has just come to power and he is not yet firmly established. How can he have the ability to protect Wu Fan? As for a young man like Wu Fan, who had no foundation in the Nanping army and relied solely on Wu Ya's favor, it was impossible for him to gain a foothold in the army and defeat Cai Cheng, who had been an official for many years.

It was only a matter of time before Wu Fan was expelled from the army.

"Well, he did a good job." Cai Cheng praised: "Not only do I want to show off my power, but after you set off, you will find opportunities to lose a few games so that he can show his true colors and lose face. I will see if your majesty will still do it." We will continue to support him in staying in the army. Even if His Majesty insists on doing so, others will definitely oppose it. "

In order to drive Wu Fan away, Cai Cheng did not hesitate to use any means, even if it meant sacrificing Nanping's army. As long as Wu Fan was still in the army and still the commander-in-chief of the three armies, then he, the Minister of War, was just a decoration. The army is completely under Wu Fan's command, but Wu Fan only listens to Wu Ya. He is useless as the Minister of War, so Wu Fan must not be allowed to stay in the army.

"Uncle, don't worry, I know how to do it." Cai Guang said with a smile: "When the time comes, Your Majesty may realize that the only person who can command our Nanping army is you, uncle. When the time comes, she will definitely apologize to you. , please take action to rectify it.”

"Haha, of course it will be like this." Cai Cheng smiled in agreement: "Don't lose too miserably, otherwise the situation will be too messy and I won't be able to clean it up."

"Uncle, don't worry, I know what's going on," Cai Guang said.

At this time, a servant of the Cai Mansion ran in and said to Cai Cheng: "Master, there is a military master outside looking for General Cai."

"Looking for me?" Cai Guang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It seems that Wu Fan has already gone to the military camp. I wonder how he is now. Is he furious outside the camp, haha."

Cai Cheng also smiled, thinking about Wu Fan's embarrassment, and he felt a lot more comfortable.

The soldiers who wanted to see Cai Guang were quickly called in. The other party did come to report a message, but what they said was different from what Cai Guang and Cai Cheng thought.

"What? Wu Fan forced his way into the camp and killed Deputy General Liu?" Cai Guang looked at the soldier with shock on his face.

Cai Cheng's brows also wrinkled slightly.

"Yes...yes." The soldier said nervously.

"Wu Fan, you are so brave! You actually dare to break into my camp and kill my lieutenant. I am not done with you!" Cai Guang said angrily. Because of Cai Cheng's relationship, Cai Guang did not take Wu Fan seriously. , has no respect for Wu Fan at all.

"Uncle, I'm going back first. I'm going to meet that Wu Fan!" Cai Guang said to Cai Cheng.

"Go ahead and be careful not to go too far. After all, he is your Majesty's newly appointed commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Your Majesty still has to worry about his face," Cai Cheng said.

"I understand." After Cai Guang finished speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing Cai Guangfeng leave in a hurry, Cai Cheng felt slightly worried.

Cai Cheng knew that because of his relationship, Cai Guang usually acted more arrogantly and domineeringly, and others would give in to Cai Guang to some extent, which made Cai Guang act more carelessly.

After all, Wu Fan is His Majesty's favorite. If Cai Guang goes too far, His Majesty may be angry.

"Things in the army will be settled in the army. Wu Fan has no ability to intimidate his subordinates. Your Majesty can't say much if he wants to." Cai Cheng thought for a moment and felt relieved. Even if Cai Guang was a bit harsh on Wu Fan, he He also thought of a reason to excuse Cai Guang, and Cai Guang took this opportunity to teach Wu Fan a lesson, which was also a bad breath for him.

Cai Cheng didn't know Wu Fan well, nor did he know Wu Fan's strength. In his opinion, Wu Fan would definitely suffer in the conflict between Wu Fan and Cai Guang, because the camp was Cai Guang's home ground, and Wu Fan was the one who suffered. Anyone who is considered an outsider will never get good results there.

As everyone knows, Cai Guang cannot be Wu Fan's opponent at all.

On the other side, the soldiers in the suburban camp had already gathered. They stood on the school field and looked at Wu Fan on the stage with complicated thoughts.

"Who is the deputy general?" Wu Fan asked loudly while looking at the soldiers below.

However, no one stood up.

Seeing this, Wu Fan frowned slightly. Wasn't it enough for him to establish his authority just now? There were still people who wanted to openly disobey orders and provoke him?

"Who is the deputy general? Come out!" Wu Fan shouted again, with a little anger in his words.

Still no one came out, but the soldiers looked at Wu Fan with a strange expression.

Just when Wu Fan was about to get angry, someone finally stood up.

"Reply to the general, Deputy General Liu has just been beheaded by you." The man who stood up said to Wu Fan after bowing.

"Is he the deputy general?" Wu Fan was a little surprised. He looked at the corpse that had not been dealt with not far away. He didn't expect that the other party was the deputy general. However, thinking of the other party's attitude just now, Wu Fan was relieved.

"Yes."

Wu Fan nodded: "In this camp, besides the chief and deputy generals, who has the highest position?"

"Below the chief and deputy generals is the lieutenant general, and there are five lieutenants generals in the camp." The soldier who just took the initiative to stand up said: "I am one of them."

"What is your name?" Wu Fan asked.

"I am Mu Han."

"Very good, from now on, you are the deputy general of this army." Wu Fan said to Mu Han.
