Chapter 803 Arrival at the Border

Although Qin Wei looked down upon Cai Cheng's ability, at the moment, it was obvious that he was more suitable for the position of commander-in-chief of the armed forces than Wu Fan.

At least Cai Cheng is from their Nanping country!

Cai Cheng glanced at Qin Wei and said to Wu Ya with a sad and indignant expression: "Your Majesty, you put a man from the Yanfeng Kingdom in charge of all the armies of our Nanping Kingdom. This is saying that there is no one available in our Nanping Kingdom's army. , As the Minister of War, I feel extremely ashamed. I am sorry for Your Majesty, the late Emperor, and all the people and soldiers of Nanping Kingdom. "

"Your Majesty, it is really inappropriate for you to appoint a person from the Yanfeng Kingdom as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Your Majesty, please think again!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

Facing everyone's "suggestions", Wu Ya's face remained unchanged. After everyone had finished speaking, she said calmly: "I believe Wu Fan."

"Your Majesty, this is not a question of whether you believe it or not. It is inappropriate to let a man from the Yanfeng Kingdom be the commander-in-chief of our armed forces in the Nanping Kingdom. Who knows what he is thinking in his heart and whether he will betray the interests of our Nanping Kingdom. , once he has other thoughts, our Nanping country may be in danger of destruction." Cai Chengdao.

"If the Yanfeng Kingdom wants to invade our Nanping Kingdom, just send troops to fight. If that happens, Cai Shangshu, do you think you can stop it?" Wu Ya asked in return.

"This..." Cai Cheng was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

If the Yanfeng Kingdom really comes, their Nanping Kingdom cannot stop it. In Cai Cheng’s heart, neither the Yanfeng Kingdom nor the Shuiyue Kingdom can compete with them. In the early years, he often visited On the battlefield, he had personally seen the military strength of the Yanfeng Kingdom and the Shuiyue Kingdom. It was at that time that he was "scared out of his wits" by these two countries, and the seeds of fear of the two countries were planted in his heart.

"Since Cai Shangshu and everyone else think that our Nanping Kingdom cannot defeat the Yanfeng Kingdom, why should we worry about Wu Fan?" Wu Ya continued: "Besides, I believe that Wu Fan will never betray our Nanping Kingdom and do anything. Things that are detrimental to our Nanping country.”

Qin Wei and others still didn't believe Wu Fan and wanted to refute, but they didn't know what to say.

"There is no need to discuss Wu Fan's appointment as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. This matter has been settled. I will not remove him." Wu Ya made the final decision: "As for the sudden change of attitude of the Emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom, , whether it is really related to Wu Fan, we can wait until Wu Fan returns in triumph and ask in person. "

Cai Cheng was filled with envy, jealousy, and worry.

Wu Ya had previously said that he would discuss the murder of his nephew after Wu Fan returned in triumph. At that time, Cai Cheng did not believe that Wu Fan could return in triumph. After all, in his opinion, it was absolutely impossible for Wu Fan to defeat Shuiyue Kingdom. army.

However, now that the attitude of the Yanfeng Kingdom has changed, the probability that this thing he thought was impossible has become possible has greatly increased. With the support of the Yanfeng Kingdom, the Shuiyue Kingdom will definitely not dare to send out troops on a large scale. Wu If you only face a Blackwater country, you still have hope of winning.

Cai Cheng felt a little worried when he thought about the consequences of Wu Fan's victory.

Cai Cheng could tell that Wu Ya didn't like him and didn't trust him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted on using a foreigner like Wu Fan instead of him. Once Wu Fan really came back from a victorious battle, Wu Ya would definitely look for him. If there is an opportunity, let Wu Fan replace him. By then, he may not even be able to be an empty minister.

"Fortunately, I was prepared, Wu Fan. I will never let you come back from the border alive. As long as you have an 'accident' at the border, the position of commander-in-chief of the armed forces will still be mine!" Cai Cheng thought viciously in his heart. road.

Cai Cheng will never allow others to take away the position of Minister of the Ministry of War from him. This is a position that he has struggled for many years to obtain. He will never give it up to others easily. Whoever wants to take this position away from him, It's his enemy!

No matter who this person is!

Cai Cheng cast a sharp glance at Wu Ya, who was sitting on the dragon chair, from the corner of his eye, with a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Sir, the Shanling Pass is ahead." Mu Han clamped his legs on the horse's belly and sped up a little to keep pace with Wu Fan.

It was already past the afternoon. Wu Fan and the soldiers of the Kobe Battalion had been on the road without any pause since they started on the road before dawn. Even if they were hungry, they would eat some dry food on horseback to prepare for the epidemic. The best thing is to reach the border as soon as possible.

At this time, the border pass was not far ahead. However, the soldiers of the Kobe Camp and the horses they sat on were very tired. Some of the horses were even foaming at the mouth. Some of the soldiers of the Kobe Camp were also very tired. The young man's face showed signs of fatigue.

Wu Fan felt a little guilty in his heart. Although there might be changes at the border at any time, the troops from the Blackwater Kingdom were still gathering and probably hadn't started attacking yet. Therefore, they could completely slow down their journey a little, at least allowing the soldiers to stop in the middle. Take a break with the horses.

But because Wu Fan was anxious to return to the Hermit Village, he could only rush to the border as soon as possible before he could spare time to teleport back to Qingyuan County. That's why he asked the soldiers of the Kobe Battalion to rush on the road with such intensity.

"Everyone, hold on a little longer. Shanling Pass is just ahead. When we get inside the pass, let's all have a good rest." Wu Fan turned around and said to the soldiers behind him.

"Yes, sir!" Although they were tired, the soldiers of the Kobe Battalion still tried their best to respond to Wu Fan without any complaints.

What a good soldier.

Wu Fan sighed again in his heart.

"drive!"

Wu Fan kicked his legs against the horse's belly, accelerated again, and headed for Shanling Pass, whose outline could be vaguely seen in front.

"Who is coming!"

When Wu Fan and the soldiers of the Shenhu Camp finally arrived at the foot of Shanling Pass, the gate was closed. A row of soldiers stood on the top of the city, and one of them asked Wu Fan and others in a hoarse voice.

Mu Han drove his horse forward a few steps and shouted to the top of the city: "I am Mu Han, the commander of the Shenhu Camp. The one behind me is General Wu Fan, the commander of the three armies appointed by His Majesty! We are here to support Shanling Pass in accordance with His Majesty's order. You quickly open the gate and let us enter the pass!"

The soldier who just shouted did not ask to open the gate, nor did he reply, but looked at a general in armor next to him.

The general looked at Wu Fan and the others and said, "As far as I know, the commander of the Shenbe Camp is General Cai Guang! The commander-in-chief of the three armies has always been Cai Cheng, the Minister of State, not the two you mentioned. What are your identities? Report them quickly and truthfully, otherwise don't even think about entering the pass!"

Mu Han frowned slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "What I just said is the truth. Hurry up and open the city gate and let us in."
