Longwu War Emperor

Chapter 96 Battle for the Battle Flag

"Chen Jiangtian accepts the order."

Jiang Tian bowed to accept the order.

Although he has a grudge against King Moyun, but in front of so many people, he should be courteous.

"Jiang Tian, ​​after I have considered it again and again, I think you are still young, and in terms of qualifications and military merits, you are not good enough to be the deputy general of Ximan City..."

Wang Gonggong deliberately dragged out the ending, and looked at Jiang Tianxuan and said: "Therefore, first, I will demote you to the fourth rank, compete with others on a fair basis, and take up the post of the garrison of Ximan City first, and then formally take up the post after you win. The post of lieutenant general."

"What, demotion?"

When Situ Mo and others heard this, their faces became very ugly.

This is simply slapping Jiang Tian in the face in public, humiliating them nakedly.

Moreover, Jiang Tian is their chief general, once their ranks are downgraded, they will also be downgraded, how can they not be resentful and unwilling.

"Jiang Tian leads the order."

Jiang Tian had already expected such a result. After receiving the order, he walked back to his seat with an indifferent expression, but he was worried about King Moyun's safety in his heart.

After what happened with Dabi, he knew that King Moyun must have difficulties, and he was not as cold and heartless as he thought.

What was announced in front of tens of thousands of warriors was changed in a blink of an eye, obviously because of the threat of Queen Liu.

"Elder Qi and others have said that there are rumors that he has been poisoned by the soul. Is it true?"

"Liu Xuetang, you really deserve death!"

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but hate Liu Xuetang, and it deepened several times, killing intent.

Although he still has a grudge against King Moyun, but that is his biological father after all, how can he watch him being persecuted and remain indifferent?
Thinking that it was Queen Liu who poisoned King Moyun, but framed Su Pan, causing the Su family to be bloodbathed by the Liu family, she was filled with righteous indignation.

"hey-hey!"

On the way back to Jiang Tian, ​​Liu Hucheng kept smiling dryly at him, happier than he was promoted to the third rank.

At this time, Wang Gonggong announced the decree through his throat again: "Liu Geng accepts the decree."

"The minister Liu Geng accepts the order!"

Liu Geng's voice was loud, and his momentum was obviously better than Jiang Tian's.

"General Liu, your nephew is very handsome, what a talent!"

Seeing this, someone immediately flattered Liu Hucheng from the side.

"That's that, that kid, Geng'er, is really up to date."

Liu Hucheng's face was full of smiles, not to mention how proud he was.

Originally, he was defeated by Jiang Tian, ​​and he was worried that he would have no way to get revenge. As a result, Queen Liu immediately sent Wang Gonggong to suppress Jiang Tian. It was too timely and too angry.

"Liu Geng, I think you have made outstanding achievements many times, and I have promoted you to the fourth-rank military rank, and you will be appointed as the city guard of Ximan City..."

Wang Gonggong announced, deliberately looking at Jiang Tian and the others: "Compete with the Eighth Prince Jiang Tian for the position of deputy general of Ximan City!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Liu Geng knelt down on one knee to receive the imperial decree from the prince, with a calm expression on his face, not showing much joy.

"Boss, it's great to be promoted!"

Zhu Peng and the others couldn't help but raise eyebrows at Jiang Tian and the others from time to time, looking gloating.

After comparing these two imperial decrees, if anyone still can't see that the ruler in the royal capital wants to promote Liu Geng and suppress Jiang Tian, ​​then that would be a little too slow.

"General!"

Faced with this kind of provocation, even Situ Mo lost his composure, not to mention Chu Hongyu, Jiang Yi and others, all looked at Jiang Tian, ​​hoping that he would agree to kill Zhu Peng and others.

"Calm down, everyone."

At this time, Jiang Tian had already calmed down, and ordered in a cold voice to Situ Mo and the others.

Ever since he got the reward, he felt that things went too smoothly. Now that Queen Liu has finally made a move, it's actually even better, lest he be fooled when he gets it.

"My lord, did your majesty say how to decide the winner?"

After the prince announced the decree, Liu Hucheng asked with ill intentions.

Wang Gonggong took a look at Jiang Tian and the others, and said flatteringly: "No, my lady said, this is the internal appointment and dismissal of your Ximan City. They have decided on the candidates, and the details are up to you to decide."

"It's just a reminder that it will not exceed half a year at most, and a good candidate must be decided."

"In that case..."

Liu Hucheng pulled his beard pretentiously, and said to Lu Mingda: "General, I think the winner will be decided in four months..."

"As for the rules, we still follow the old rules of our western barbarian army - let's fight for the battle flag..."

"Play with real swords and guns, see whose team is strong, whoever captures the most battle flags, and whoever wins is the most fair."

"Battle for the battle flag, okay!"

When Zhu Peng, Ling Tao and others heard this, they immediately looked at Jiang Tian and applauded loudly, as if they were going to win.

"Is it a battle for the flag?"

The faces of Situ Mo and the others became very ugly.

The so-called battle for the battle flag means that two-color battle flags are planted on some mountain passes, and the two armies occupy one side and attack each other. When they capture one place, they will change the battle flags into their own colors until the end of the limited time. Which side has more battle flags, wins.

This rule seems to be very fair, but in fact it is extremely unfair to Jiang Tian and the others.

Because they are newcomers, it can be said that there is no soldier, and everything has to start from scratch.

And Liu Geng has taken root in Ximan City for more than ten years, and already has a strong team in his hands.

It is not impossible to even out the disadvantages in just four months, but it must be difficult.

What's more, during these four months, Liu Hucheng and a group of his subordinates will definitely obstruct it. How can it be so easy for Jiang Tian to increase the strength of his troops?
"Hey, I finally saw a little hope, and there is no hope again."

Lu Mingda couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, his mentality was even more depressed than before.

Before Jiang Tian came, Liu Hu made a series of actions in Ximan City. Coupled with Wang Gonggong's edict, he almost concluded that Jiang Tian had no chance of winning.

"It seems that Liu Hucheng will become more domineering in the future..."

The other mid-level officers in Ximan City all thought this way, and some who had been stubbornly refusing to join Liu Hucheng before became wavering in their positions.

Although they want to maintain integrity, after all, people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If their survival is threatened, how can they have the right to talk about integrity?
"Come, drink, Prince, you have come from a long distance, let me toast you first!"

At this time, Liu Hu deliberately didn't mention how beautiful he was, and raised his glass to toast non-stop, especially those who were not on good terms with him on weekdays.

Even if he is the stupidest, he knows that now is the best time to win over these people.

There is no such thing as a good banquet, this sentence is really not wrong at all.

At the banquet, Zhu Peng, Ling Tao and others tried their best to provoke, and Situ Mo and others all looked ugly in anger.

Especially Chu Hongyu, her face is almost turning green. Although she is a woman, she has a stronger temper than ordinary men, and her self-esteem is extremely strong. How can she bear this kind of anger.

"General, I don't know which city you plan to entrust His Highness and Mr. Liu Geng to as guards?"

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Gonggong still felt that Jiang Tian's party was not angry enough, so he asked Lu Mingda drunkly.
