Chapter 454: Conflict

At this time, at the gate of the Wengcheng military camp, two groups of people were confronting each other. One side was naturally Wei Yuan's troops, each with bright clothes and armor, and well-equipped. The other side was in gray-white military uniforms; although there were few of them, each had a fierce murderous aura.

At this time, there were dozens of people on both sides with bruised noses and swollen faces; they had just had a fight, and it looked like they were evenly matched.

The soldiers in gray-white uniforms were all clamoring, shouting: "We are all under the Military Governor, and we all came from the front line stepping on the corpses of aliens! Why did you occupy all the good military camps, and our Anbei Military Governor's people have to sleep in tents in the snow?"

Some people also stiffened their necks and said: "Come, cut here! Grandpa's head is for you to cut! Even the Liao tribe barbarians couldn't cut off this head, let's see if you can cut it!"

Many people on Wei Yuan's side had already pressed their sword hilts, showing murderous intent, but an Assistant Regional Commander in the army shouted loudly: "Everyone restrain yourselves! This is the Royal Capital, the overall situation is important!"

This Assistant Regional Commander was already quite old. There were seven or eight Assistant Regional Commanders of the same level present, and he was the oldest. Previously, Wei Yuan had taken all the generals to the post house, so he stood out at this time, and the other Assistant Regional Commanders didn't say much.

Seeing this situation, the soldiers in gray-white uniforms became even more arrogant. The leading Assistant Regional Commander said: "Our requirements are not high, you let out the barracks for a thousand people, and this matter will be settled! We have three thousand people, it is not too much to ask for your barracks for a thousand people, and my injuries and military merits are worthy of this treatment!"

The Assistant Regional Commander here hesitated and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter, I need to report to my lord."

Before his voice fell, he heard the sound of hooves like thunder, and Wei Yuan and a group of generals and personal guards had already arrived!

After arriving, Wei Yuan scanned the scene and had already seen the situation in the field.

Cui Yu and several generals from noble families all had livid faces, staring unkindly at the Assistant Regional Commander.

Seeing Wei Yuan arrive, the Assistant Regional Commander hurriedly saluted and then said: "My lord, it is like this... Later a conflict arose, I thought this is the Royal Capital, so for the sake of the overall situation, I wanted the brothers to restrain themselves."

Wei Yuan said expressionlessly: "Oh, you fought, and you lost?"

The Assistant Regional Commander was shocked and hurriedly said: "About a hundred people on both sides took action, it was just a draw."

Wei Yuan snapped his fingers, and an invisible magic power whip lashed fiercely at the Captain!

Only hearing a 'pa' sound, the Assistant Regional Commander's clothes and armor shattered, and even with his late-stage Dao Foundation cultivation, he was in so much pain that he fell to the ground and couldn't get up. He did endure not screaming.

Wei Yuan said coldly: "You fought, why did only a hundred people go out? Are the ten thousand people left in the camp all dead?! If so many people fought to a draw with a thousand pieces of trash, what use do I have for you!"

The Anbei army was immediately unhappy and started clamoring again. The old soldier who had just spoken stood out again, tilted his head and pointed to his neck and said: "Ouch! Who are you calling trash? What are you? Come, come, come, if you have the ability, cut off this trash's head..."

Wei Yuan stood on his horse, stretched out a finger, and drew lightly in the air!

The Anbei old soldier's head instantly flew high! His face still held an expression of disbelief; he never thought that Wei Yuan would take action as soon as he said so.

Wei Yuan then pointed to the thousand or so Anbei soldiers and shouted: "Take them all, those who resist will be beheaded!"

Wei Yuan's heavy armored warriors had long been enduring it for a long time, especially the Long Xiang Army, which had been invincible since its establishment and considered itself invincible in land warfare. When had they ever suffered such bird-like anger? Even without firearms, they didn't think they couldn't beat the Anbei army.

As soon as Wei Yuan opened his mouth, the steel torrent rushed up, and then the two wings automatically split into teams to outflank the rear, surrounding the Anbei army and beating them severely! In the blink of an eye, the thousand or so Anbei soldiers were all captured, and a dozen corpses lay on the ground. And Wei Yuan's subordinates were all in heavy armor, with only two slightly injured.

Only then did Wei Yuan's expression look better.

At this time, the Assistant Regional Commander climbed up and explained: "My lord, I just thought that the overall situation is important..."

Wei Yuan shouted sharply: "Overall situation? Is it your turn to consider the overall situation? If something happens, I will naturally wipe my own ass. What you need to do is win! If you can't win, everything is bullshit! From now on, strip you of all official positions, go to the vanguard camp to be an ordinary soldier, and accumulate merit again!"

The man lowered his head, not daring to say more, and returned to the team on his own.

Wei Yuan raised his breath and opened his voice, facing the ten thousand iron-clad warriors, and said loudly: "I will handle other things, what you need to do is win! No matter who the opposite side is!"

Thousands of soldiers were instantly boiling with blood, shouting in unison, like a mountain collapse and a tsunami.

At this time, a vigorous voice came from afar: "Lord Wei truly has great spirit! But daring to kill my Anbei people in the Royal City, could it be that you think this official is easy to bully?"

Hundreds of iron cavalry arrived like the wind, confronting Wei Yuan.

In the middle was a burly man with a scar on his face, looking at Wei Yuan with murderous intent. This person was the Anbei Military Governor, Xu Tongshou.

Wei Yuan sneered: "Lord Xu's soldiers specifically ran to my military camp to make trouble, and even wanted to occupy my barracks. It should be that you think this official is easy to bully!"

Xu Tongshou frowned, his eyes fell on the group of subordinates who were tied up like zongzi, and suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed into the air! The ropes on the Assistant Regional Commander were all broken.

Wei Yuan saw clearly that this slash was not aimed at his own soldiers, so he didn't take action to stop it.

Xu Tongshou grabbed the Assistant Regional Commander in front of him and asked: "What's going on?"

The Assistant Regional Commander still had a strong smell of alcohol on him, but now the alcohol had been scared away, and he said: "The weather is bitter and cold, the brothers can only live in tents outside the city, and they couldn't bear it, so they thought of coming to the city to drink and warm up. Then when drinking, they heard people say that the prepared barracks were all occupied by the Dingxi Army, and others were not allowed to live there. I was hot-headed at the time, and thought of coming over to see who was so arrogant, and then... we fought." Xu Tongshou frowned, glanced at the corpses on the ground, and said coldly: "Lord Wei, everyone is a minister in the same hall. If the people below are just fighting and making trouble, it's all a small matter, why are there still lives lost?"

Wei Yuan said unceremoniously: "You have a miscellaneous soldier under your hand who dared to stretch his neck and let me cut it, so I fulfilled him. As for those who died later, they were all accidental injuries. Lord Xu, you wouldn't think that even a small soldier in your Anbei army can be rude to me, and I still have to give you this face, right?"

Xu Tongshou narrowed his eyes, staring at Wei Yuan, and the murderous aura gradually appeared.

Wei Yuan sat on his horse, not afraid at all.

At this time, an Assistant Regional Commander behind Xu Tongshou suddenly said: "Wei Yuan! Did you say that our Xu family's Dharma Forms are all trash?!"

Wei Yuan said lightly: "That's right, I said it."

Xu Tongshou suddenly backhanded a whip and lashed fiercely at the Assistant Regional Commander's head, instantly drawing blood and skin.

Then Xu Tongshou ignored the Assistant Regional Commander and said to Wei Yuan: "My subordinates offended Lord Wei, but people also died. Can you let them go now?"

"Let them go!" Wei Yuan waved his hand, and the warriors cut the ropes on the Anbei army's hands and pushed them out.

These Anbei soldiers were all injured, and although they were at an absolute disadvantage when fighting just now, they were still fighting for their lives, not generally fierce. However, the Qingming Iron Cavalry also crawled out of a pile of dead people, and if they met someone who didn't obey, they would beat them until they obeyed.

!.

Xu Tongshou waved his hand again, and the warriors lifted the corpses. Then Wei Yuan ordered people to return the captured weapons, and Xu Tongshou bowed to Wei Yuan and said coldly: "Lord Wei, take care of yourself!"

After saying that, he led the crowd away, without saying another word.

At this time, there were no outsiders, so Cui Yu said: "This matter must be someone provoking!"

Wei Yuan said lightly: "This is natural. From the moment this military camp was given to us, I knew it. I also roughly know who did this."

Cui Yu said: "Since you know it's a conspiracy, why don't we let out some barracks? This military camp can accommodate twenty thousand people."

"Let? Why let?" Wei Yuan asked back, and then sneered: "They dare to give it to us, it's not that we can't take it. If we don't take it, wouldn't it seem like we are afraid? Besides, an old fox like Xu Tongshou is not a vegetarian. After a little thought, he will naturally understand. He can't take advantage of us here, so he will naturally vent his anger on the culprit."

Wei Yuan also said: "Such a conflict is better than other ways."

Xu Tongshou had his own industry in the Royal Capital. At this moment, he returned to the mansion, entered the study angrily, and then smashed everything, scaring the servants so much that they didn't dare to approach.

After it was a little quieter, a scholar walked quickly into the study and closed the door tightly.

Xu Tongshou in the room was drinking tea slowly, where was there any sign of rage? Seeing the scholar arrive, he immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Qi is here, please sit."

This scholar had an extraordinary bearing. After sitting down, he said: "I heard that Lord Xu had a conflict with the Dingxi Military Governor's people?"

Xu Tongshou snorted and said slowly: "It's all a layout by the Nine Gates Commander Lu Zhongzhi, who gave all the military camps to Wei Yuan, and then incited my subordinates to go over and make trouble! Humph, I'm also following the plan. If I don't make a few lives out of Wei Yuan, I'm afraid those surnamed Lu won't be able to sleep."

The scholar smiled slightly and said: "It seems that I don't need to worry at all. My lord naturally sees everything clearly, and everything is under control."

Xu Tongshou said: "There is nothing major happening here in the Royal Capital. However, there is an urgent matter regarding the family that requires you, Mr. Zhang, to make a trip. I truly cannot rest easy with anyone else."

Mr. Qi said: "My lord, please speak."

"I have eighty thousand mu of mulberry forest and one hundred and fifty thousand mu of grain fields there. Recently, the price of silk has risen sharply while the price of grain has fallen. I heard that the silk has all been collected by Wei Yuan. I thought about changing several tens of thousands of mu of grain fields into mulberry forests, but I am a bit uneasy, always feeling that there is some conspiracy in this. But if I don't change it, I will lose two hundred thousand taels of immortal silver in income a year, and I am always a bit unwilling."

"So I want to ask Mr. to go back and see if I should change the grain fields into mulberry forests, and if I change it, how much should I change."

Mr. Qi's expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "This matter probably needs to go to Qingming to know. Taking advantage of Wei Yuan still being in the Royal Capital, Qingming's defense is empty, I will set off tomorrow."

"Then I will trouble Mr."

Before the scholar left, Xu Tongshou suddenly said: "If I ask Wei Yuan directly about this matter, what does Mr. think?"

"This is naturally the best, but it must be after leaving the Royal Capital, otherwise those lives will be in vain."
