Chapter 806 What else?

Not long after, dozens of people, led by Mu Han, walked into the hall of the government office, and immediately filled the huge hall.

No wonder, there are nearly 100,000 troops stationed in Shanling Pass all year round, because Nanping Kingdom was previously affiliated with Yanfeng Kingdom, they don’t need to deploy too many troops at the border with Yanfeng Kingdom, but the relationship with Heishui Kingdom, which is affiliated with Shuiyue Kingdom, has always been bad, and there are often frictions. Therefore, Nanping Kingdom has always attached great importance to Shanling Pass, and the number of troops stationed here has always been large.

The captains who came in saw Wu Fan sitting in the first seat, some looked suspicious, some were surprised, and some were angry, all kinds of expressions, but no one said anything, just looked at Wu Fan quietly.

"Let me introduce myself first." Wu Fan looked at everyone and said, "My name is Wu Fan. I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies appointed by His Majesty. Your former commander, Chen Yufei, has been dismissed by me. The entire Shanling Pass garrison is now under my command."

Buzz buzz buzz......

As soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, there was a dense discussion in the hall. Some were happy, some were shocked, and some were still angry.

"It seems that some of you have already known this news, and some have not yet known it. However, everyone should know it now." Wu Fan smiled and said, "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the army cannot be without a commander for a day. Now that the commander position is vacant, someone must take it. I will choose one of you to replace the commander position."

Hearing Wu Fan's words, the people who were still talking just now fell silent at this time, looking at Wu Fan with shocked and hot eyes.

That was the position of the chief general of Shanling Pass, commanding nearly 100,000 people. Even in the military system of the entire Nanping Kingdom, they could be considered big shots. Their identities were only lieutenants, and they were separated from the position of the chief general by several levels. Above them were lieutenants and assistant generals of several levels. Under normal circumstances, even if the position of the chief general was vacant, it would not be their turn.

However, the situation was obviously different now. Wu Fan was obviously not going to use those lieutenants and assistant generals. Perhaps it was because those people were promoted by Chen Yufei and were all Chen Yufei's confidants. Therefore, Wu Fan directly skipped those people and promoted these lieutenants with lower positions.

Once selected, it would be like ascending to heaven in one step. From a lieutenant who could only command thousands or tens of thousands of people, to a chief general commanding nearly 100,000 people, it was no exaggeration to say that it was ascending to heaven in one step.

Therefore, in addition to being shocked, everyone looked at Wu Fan with hot eyes. Even those who looked at Wu Fan with angry eyes when they just came in, their mentality changed at this time.

Those who came in and looked at Wu Fan with angry eyes were all Chen Yufei's confidants in the army. Before they came to this government office, they had already received the news that Chen Yufei was dismissed. They naturally hated Wu Fan very much in their hearts because they lost their backers.

But what if they were selected by Wu Fan and directly promoted to the chief general of Shanling Pass? Wouldn't they soar to the sky?

Therefore, after knowing Wu Fan's decision, these people no longer complained or hated Wu Fan in their hearts, but instead expected Wu Fan to choose them. As for the dismissed Chen Yufei, who is he?

Facing many hot eyes, Wu Fan did not speak, but just scanned everyone with his eyes, with a faint smile on his face.

Most of the people who were swept by Wu Fan's eyes straightened their chests, looked expectant, and some even had a flattering expression.

"Okay, I have decided on the candidate for the new chief general of Shanling Pass." After scanning everyone, Wu Fan said lightly.

Hearing this, many people at the scene were so nervous that they were breathing rapidly. They looked at Wu Fan expectantly, hoping to hear their names from his mouth.

"Let's pick you, the second row from the left, the third from the bottom." Wu Fan pointed to a middle-aged man standing at the back of the crowd and said lightly.

"Pei Yu, it's Pei Yu?!"

"How could it be him?"

"This guy is really lucky."

"Brother Pei, it's you, it's you."

"Congratulations, Brother Pei."

"Brother Pei, go and thank you."

As soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the hall again. Everyone looked at the person chosen by Wu Fan and talked about it. Some were surprised, some were not surprised, and some were full of joy.

Pei Yu himself stood there in a daze, with more surprise on his face than surprise.

Pei Yu certainly wanted to be the commander of Shanling Pass, but he knew that position could not be hers. Although all the people present were lieutenants, there were differences between lieutenants and their ranks. He was ranked low among the many lieutenants, with only about a thousand men under his command, and could not be compared with those lieutenants who commanded thousands of men.

Therefore, he did not have much expectation for being selected by Wu Fan, and even secretly thought that Wu Fan was just fooling around and treating military affairs as a joke. Wu Fan had just arrived and directly dismissed the commander of the border. Now he directly selected generals without knowing the garrison soldiers at all, and he only observed them through their eyes without even conducting the most basic investigation and inquiry. This was nothing but a joke.

"I just heard that Chen Yufei was dismissed, and I thought the dawn of Shanling Pass had come. This commander-in-chief is a wise man, but I never thought that he would be so careless in doing things. Alas, our Nanping country may be in danger this time because we have such a commander-in-chief." Pei Yu sighed in his heart.

However, not long after he expressed this emotion, he heard his name from Wu Fan's mouth. Pei Yu, who was not prepared at all, thought he had hallucinations at first, until his colleagues around him looked at him, he was sure that he had not heard wrong.

The person who was chosen was really himself?

Pei Yu was in a trance and did not react for a while.

"Why, don't you want to?" Wu Fan looked at Pei Yu in a daze and said with a smile.

Pei Yu was awakened by Wu Fan's voice, but he did not refuse or kneel down to thank him. Instead, he asked Wu Fan: "Why did you choose me?"

Why did you choose him?

This was also the doubt in the hearts of other people at the scene. After all, whether it was qualifications or positions, Pei Yu should not be the one who was chosen.

If it was ability...

That's fine.

But the problem is that Wu Fan has just arrived here and has not done any investigation. How can he know who is capable and who is weak?

Everyone has the same doubts as Pei Yu.

"Because I think you can be competent for this position." Wu Fan said with a smile.

"Your Excellency just chose me based on your feelings?" Pei Yu asked in surprise.

"What else?" Wu Fan said, "I just got here today and I don't know you well, how can I choose people?"
