Chapter 781: Killing Cai Guang

As soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, the other four lieutenant generals looked at Mu Han with envy and regret. If they had known that promotion would be so easy, they would have stepped forward on their own initiative. In that case, they would have been promoted to deputy generals.

As for Mu Han, upon hearing Wu Fan's words, his face lit up, and he knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Thank you, sir!"

"Get up." Wu Fan said: "Tell me about the situation of this army."

"Yes, sir," Mu Han stood up and said to Wu Fan loudly: "Our army is called Shenhu Camp, and the commander is General Cai Guangcai. The mission of being stationed here is to defend the imperial capital and protect the safety of the imperial capital. There are a total of 10,780 people in the camp, and there are still 10,770 people now, including 5,513 cavalry and infantry..."

With Mu Han's introduction, Wu Fan learned more and more about this army called Shenhu Camp.

This is a team drawn from all over Nanping State. It can be said that the soldiers in the team are all elite, and they are not much worse than the guards in the palace. More than half of them are cavalry, which shows that the court attaches great importance to this army.

Originally, with such an army stationed outside the imperial capital, it was not easy for the enemy to break into the imperial capital. However, the internal ghost Wu Xian caused this army to not play a role in the last war.

The commander of this army is Cai Guang, but Cai Guang has not been the commander of this army for long. He was transferred after Wu Xian ascended the throne, and the deputy commander also came with Cai Guang. In theory, the commander and deputy commander have just arrived, and their control over this army should not be very strong. However, looking at the aggressive look of the deputy commander before, and Mu Han's fear of Cai Guang in his words, Wu Fan guessed that this Cai Guang and the Minister of War Cai Cheng should have a relationship.

"Where is Wu Fan?!"

Just after Mu Han introduced the situation of the Kobe Camp to Wu Fan, a loud shouting sound came from the direction of the camp gate. Then, Wu Fan saw a young man who was only a few years older than him walking over with a very arrogant expression on his face.

Beside this young man was a soldier, who was one of the people who had blocked Wu Fan from entering the camp before.

"Are you Wu Fan?" The young man said arrogantly while looking at Wu Fan on the stage.

"Yes." Wu Fan nodded expressionlessly.

"Do you know who I am?" The young man went on stage and came to Wu Fan.

"Cai Guang." Wu Fan said lightly.

"Yes, I am Cai Guang! The commander of the Kobe Camp, Cai Guang!" Cai Guang's face was full of arrogance and arrogance, without any of the low-key humility he had shown in front of Cai Cheng before.

"Why leave the camp?" Wu Fan asked.

"I am the commander here! I can leave the camp whenever I want, is there a problem?" Cai Guang said.

"The military rules state that during the period of military stationing, the army is not allowed to leave the camp at will without special reasons." Wu Fan looked at Cai Guang and said, "Even the commander-in-chief cannot do that!"

"Heh, then I left the camp, what can you do?" Cai Guang said disdainfully, "Don't think that you don't know who you are just because His Majesty has appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Let me tell you, the army of Nanping is not decided by you, but by Minister Cai Cheng! Do you know who I am? I am the nephew of Minister Cai! What's wrong with me leaving the camp?"

"Also, who asked you to give orders here? This is my territory! I am the commander-in-chief here. No one can give orders here without my order!" Cai Guang said provocatively to Wu Fan.

Afterwards, Cai Guang turned to look at the soldiers of the Kobe Camp and shouted, "All dispersed, go back, all go back!"

The soldiers of the Kobe Camp stood still, but many people became a little hesitant.

Wu Fan is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and his orders must be obeyed, but Cai Guang is their main general, and he has an uncle who is the Minister of War, and his orders must also be obeyed. The problem is that the orders of these two people are completely opposite, which makes the soldiers of the Kobe Camp confused and don’t know what to do.

"You are all rebellious, right? You don’t even listen to my orders? I am your main general!" Cai Guang saw that no one responded, and couldn’t help but said angrily.

"No one is allowed to leave!" Wu Fan also said loudly, and then he looked at Cai Guang and said: "It’s true that you are the main general of the Kobe Camp, but the Kobe Camp is not your private army! This is not your territory, this is the territory of His Majesty! Now, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, I announce that you are dismissed. From now on, you are no longer the main general of the Kobe Camp, but just an ordinary soldier. Now, go down and gather for me!"

Wu Fan’s words caused an uproar among the crowd, and they all showed shocked expressions.

That's the nephew of Minister Cai. Wu Fan dismissed him just because he said so. Doesn't he need to consider Minister Cai's face? Isn't he afraid of offending Minister Cai?

"Why do you dismiss me?" Cai Guang was also stunned by Wu Fan's words, but he was furious after he reacted.

He is the nephew of Minister Cai! The identity of the commander of the Kobe Camp was also arranged by Cai Cheng. Wu Fan dared to dismiss him. Is he looking for death?

"Why? Just because you disrespect your superiors, disobey military orders and leave the camp without authorization, and you don't repent!" Wu Fan said indifferently.

"I don't accept it! I don't agree! You are not qualified to dismiss me!" Cai Guang shouted loudly, without any awe of Wu Fan on his face.

He is the nephew of Cai Cheng, and Wu Fan is just Wu Ya's lover. He is not afraid of Wu Fan!

"I want to dismiss you, and I need your consent?" Wu Fan sneered, "I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies appointed by His Majesty, and I control the troops of the entire Nanping Kingdom. The Shenbe Camp is naturally under my jurisdiction. I am not qualified to dismiss you?"

"My uncle is Cai Cheng!" Cai Guang ignored Wu Fan's reason and shouted loudly, "He will not agree to your dismissal. He is the Minister of War and all the troops are under his control! You are nothing! You are His Majesty's mistress!"

Cai Guang's words made everyone at the scene uproar again, and everyone's eyes on Wu Fan also changed.

Seeing this, Cai Guang not only did not feel that he was wrong, but was complacent: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have flattered His Majesty. In the army, my uncle still has the final say!"

If Cai Cheng were here, he would definitely scold Cai Guang for being a pig-brained person. The fact that Wu Fan was Wu Ya's mistress was just their guess. They had no evidence. Moreover, even if it was true, such things could not be said in public. Wu Fan was fine, but Wu Ya was the emperor. It was absolutely unacceptable to gossip about the emperor in public.

"I'll say it one last time, go down and line up!" Wu Fan's voice became even colder.

"No!" Cai Guang said forcefully. It was impossible to make him listen to Wu Fan's orders.

Wu Fan looked at Cai Guang coldly, with a strong murderous look in his eyes: "Cai Guang disrespected his superiors, had no regard for military discipline, disobeyed orders, and slandered His Majesty's reputation. According to the law, he should be beheaded!"

"You..."

"Swish!"

Hands up.

Head down!

The whole audience was shocked!
