Xuan Tianming's army set up camp ten li outside of Sha Ping City and officially set up camp there. At the same time, a portion of the soldiers were stationed in Sha Ping City. Although they had not yet taken control of Sha Ping City's government office, the officials there had been replaced with Dashun soldiers. It could be said that Sha Ping City had become Dashun's world. Xuan Tianming promised the people of Sha Ping City that in a month, Dashun officials would be stationed here to change the Dashun household register for the people of Sha Ping City. After the change, trade would resume, and there would be no need to go through any procedures. This was because Sha Ping had already become a Dashun, and the two sides were one country.
As for the people of Sha Ping who wanted to live in Dashun, the Dashun welcomed them, but they had to pay for everything themselves. Of course, there were also people from the South who wanted to live in Sha Ping City, and they were also accepted. In short, Sha Ping was no longer a city of Gu Shu. Instead, it was part of Dashun's territory, but it was not part of any province for now. Xuan Tianming thought that he would reorganize all of Gu Shu's cities in the future. He would build new provinces and assign people to manage them.
The three hundred thousand soldiers left behind by the Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo, were not transferred to Sha Ping City. They remained in the South, and a portion of them were called over to help Sha Ping City repair the walls. They bought bricks from Lan Zhou and used camels to transport them to Sha Ping City.
At first, these people did not think much of it, but as the walls were being repaired, they realized that something was wrong! Xuan Tianming's army was only in charge of supervising the work and providing the plans. The people doing the work were all the people from the Southern Army. Why?
Some people could not take it anymore and threw down the tools in their hands. They pointed at Xuan Tianming's army and shouted, "Why aren't you working?"
The person on Xuan Tian Ming's side was puzzled and asked: "Aren't we doing this? Without our plans, do you know how to build the walls? Work isn't just physical work. There's also something called mental work. What we do here is mental work. Hurry up and build it. The general said that if you can't build it this high by this evening — "He gestured with his hand," I won't give you dinner tonight. "
"Based on what?" The Southern Army exploded, "Working on such a hot day and not being given food, based on what?"
"Because he is the Ninth Prince! If you have any objections, you can raise them with His Ninth Highness. As for whether His Highness is willing to interfere or not, you should think about the consequences of raising such objections. Don't blame us for not reminding you. These jobs were personally assigned by His Ninth Highness. "
The Southern Army withered. His Ninth Highness, wasn't that the Ninth King of Hell? Who would be so bored as to go argue with him? But they were also unwilling to build the city walls under the sun!
The people of Prince Yu's army began to reason with them: "How many years have you been stationed in the South? Has there been any progress in the war with Gu Shu? Has there been any push? We took Sha Ping City as soon as we arrived. Have you done anything? Go out and ask around. See who can stand shoulder to shoulder with our general? Have you all seen the might of the heavenly lightning? That sort of thing, even if you were given three lifetimes, would you be able to build it? With this sort of brain, what else can you do other than build the city walls? "
Who knew if these people had become muddle-headed from the sun or if they had become muddle-headed. Either way, when they heard these words, they felt that what they said was reasonable! Thus they no longer tried to scare them and began to build the walls. They also had to endure the pointing of Prince Yu's army from time to time, which made them feel quite vexed.
But speaking of the heavenly lightning from that day, not to mention Gu Shu's soldiers, even the Southern Army on Dashun's side felt that it was frightening. Could it really have been the heavenly lightning? These soldiers stacked bricks while thinking of the rumbling thunder from that day and night. They could not help but move faster. The Ninth Prince could not be offended. This was what everyone thought.
However, while the soldiers building the walls accepted their fate, the deputy general of the Southern Army did not. Jiang Xuan was the number one subordinate of the Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo. Aside from Xuantian Mo, the three hundred thousand soldiers in the Southern Army listened to him. As for Xuantian Mo, after returning to the capital, he had handed these three hundred thousand soldiers to him. The soldiers had all sworn an oath in front of Xuantian Mo. Regardless of who would lead the Southern Army in the future, the hearts of these three hundred thousand soldiers would always be with the eighth prince.
That day at noon, Jiang Xuan had finally arrived at Sha Ping City from the South after careful consideration. He requested to see Xuan Tianming. Xuan Tian Ming met him in a tent to the South of Sha Ping City. At this time, ghost doctor Song Kang was inside his tent fiddling with a needle. The needle that was inserted into the needle was standing upright. With a push of his thumb, a liquid medicine dripped from the tip of the needle. This caused the muscles on Jiang Xuan's face to twitch. However, since he had already come, he could not be scared away by a military doctor. Thus, he braced himself and saluted to Xuan Tianming. He had knelt and paid his respects, but he did not hear the other party call for him to rise.
Not only was Xuan Tianming a general, but he was also a prince and a prince. Without being called to rise, he did not dare to rise. Thus, he could only continue to kneel. This large tent was built in the desert. The ground inside the tent was sand, and it was boiling hot. He felt very uncomfortable kneeling. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he wondered what the ninth prince of hell wanted.
Xuan Tianming was currently reading a letter from his wife. In the letter, she mentioned the disaster caused by his Eighth Brother in the mine, which made him unbearably angry. However, she also mentioned that Ji An County was being governed quite well, and he felt very gratified. It was just as he said, his wife was the most capable. Wherever she went, she could pacify the world. Even if there were people who stirred up trouble, they would be dealt with in an instant.
After he finished reading the letter, he finally turned his gaze to Jiang Xuan. However, he did not pay attention to the other party's greeting when he had just knelt down. Thus, he asked again, "Who did you say you were?"
Jiang Xuan's heart felt even more stifled, but he did not dare to act out. He could only say again, "This subordinate is the deputy general of the Southern Army, Jiang Xuan."
"Oh, the deputy general of the Southern Army." Xuan Tianming nodded, "You came to see I. Is there something you need?"
Jiang Xuan furrowed his brows. Wasn't this nonsense? You took over the command of the Southern Army and came here with the commander's seal. How many days has it been? Other than sending people to repair your city walls, what else have you done? You've just left us there and ignored us. If I didn't come today, were you planning on just leaving us there?
Jiang Xuan cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out loud. However, he still said with a bit of resentment, "His Ninth Highness, we are also soldiers. We have been stationed in the Southern Army for many years. Ever since the general returned to the capital, this army of three hundred thousand has been without a leader. It wasn't easy for His Ninth Highness to come, but we didn't think that His Highness would attack Sha Ping City without discussing it with us. After taking down the city, he ignored us. The soldiers were all very confused. This subordinate could only thicken my face and come here to ask, what arrangements and plans does His Ninth Highness have for our Southern Army? "
He felt that he was speaking in a very righteous manner. He felt that all the logic was on his side. He could not help but raise his head, looking very unconvinced.
However, Xuan Tianming still had a lazy appearance as he leaned back on the bamboo chair. A pair of eyes filled with evil energy stared at him. He did not say anything. He just stared at him, causing Jiang Xuan to break out in a cold sweat in this hot weather. "Since the general has taken command of the military, you should treat everyone equally." He forced himself to squeeze out another sentence, as if he had used all the strength in his body. Only now did Jiang Xuan realize that His Ninth Highness was much scarier than His Highness the Eighth Highness. He did not even need to get angry. Just looking at him was enough to make people suffer.
Finally, Xuan Tianming spoke, but he asked him in return, "Are you talking to I? You're calling your Eighth Brother, who has already left his post, General, but you're only calling His Highness I, the current General. Since you don't treat I as a General, then why should I treat you as soldiers? You're just a bunch of decorations eating military pay! " He nestled into the chair again, finding a more comfortable position, "Also, when did it become your turn to meddle in I's matters? Who I use, who I don't use, who I don't pay attention to, when did you have the final say? "
These words made Jiang Xuan tremble. He also realized that his angry words had been picked out. Although he did say it deliberately, he did not expect the Ninth Prince's ability to pick out words was so strong. He did not give him any face and directly pointed it out. This made him feel a bit embarrassed. But … "But His Highness the Eighth Highness was not like this before." He felt that his words were reasonable, "When His Highness the Eighth Highness was the General, he treated all the soldiers equally."
"Since you miss your His Highness the Eighth Highness so much, then go find him. Go now! Men. "Xuan Tianming suddenly shouted. Soldiers immediately came in from outside the tent and heard him say," Take this self-proclaimed Deputy General of the Southern Army of three hundred thousand. His name is Jiang something … … Drag him out for I and remove him from his post. Then have someone send him back to the capital. You must send him to His Highness the Eighth Highness. Let the master and servant recognize each other and cry together. Don't let down I's sympathy for the soldiers of the Southern Army. "
"His Ninth Highness! That's not right! General! " Jiang Xuan did not know what to say. He waved his hand and said, "General, you can't do this. This is not fair! This subordinate has been a Deputy General for so many years. How can I be removed from my post just like that? "
Xuan Tianming still shook his head, "Fair? In I's place, there is no fairness. This world is not fair. If you want fairness, then establish your own world. Unfortunately, you won't have this opportunity. Establishing your own world is a rebellion. I don't know if you want to rebel or if your master, the Eighth Brother, wants to rebel. I have to write a report back to the capital and have Father Emperor look into it. "
Cold sweat dripped down Jiang Xuan's forehead. How could this Ninth Prince be like this? Why couldn't he speak clearly? He didn't follow the script at all! He felt like he was talking to a rock that could automatically reflect. Every time he said a word, the other side would retort. It made his heart and lungs hurt.
Seeing another person come in from outside the tent and drag him out with the first one, Jiang Xuan became anxious and shouted, "His Ninth Highness! You won't be able to win the hearts of the three hundred thousand soldiers in the Southern Army by doing this! Even if you have military power, it's just an empty shell. No one will be willing to listen to you! If you do this, you will be a failed general! "
He shouted with all his might. His hatred for Xuan Tianming was already overflowing. In the end, the other side just shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently … …
