When the brigade commander saw Zhao Hu's focused expression, he showed off his charm and said with a smug look: "Don't say you don't know, every emperor in the empire was born in the sea of ​​blood, and some of those losers in the competition for the throne were slaughtered, and some were hidden. Thinking about the emergence of thousands of emperors in the empire over the past few hundred years, you can know how many enemies hating these emperors are hidden in the empire.

"In addition to these losers in the competition for the throne, there are also great nobles who always hope to establish a principality, and of course there are even ethnic minorities that pursue independence for generations. These three forces are almost spread throughout the entire empire, and people from these three forces are born, except for them knowing each other, no one can distinguish them.

"They used to be because they could not command the troops, so they did not cause trouble. Now the household registration data of the soldiers has disappeared. Can they not take action immediately, who have long been looking forward to the opportunity? Hundreds of years of resentment, once it erupts...ah."

The brigade commander shook his head bitterly. Now that the war in the empire is about to break out, it is even more difficult for his master to compete for the throne. However, if he separatist side, he should be able to do it? I hope the officer controlled by his master will not have any unfair intentions.

Zhao Hu opened his mouth. He never thought that so many enemies were hidden within the empire that had been established for hundreds of years. In addition, the surrounding countries were all hostile, so the empire might not be so easy.

The brigade commander saw Zhao Hu's appearance and patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry. In fact, in troubled times, it can better show the style of our soldiers, because the law of troubled times is that anyone with a big fist can be called king. As long as you firmly grasp the soldiers under your command, it is not difficult to do something big."

After saying that, he patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder again and walked to Hara, the four brigade commanders.

Zhao Hu frowned slightly. The brigade commander had told him so much, but he did not tell him why he could attend this meeting.

The law of troubled times? The one with a big fist is the king? Hold on to the soldiers under his command?

Did the brigade commander take a fancy to the soldiers he brought out of Jinwen City?

"The division commander is here!"

With a shout, the division commander with the rank of lieutenant general walked into the hall alone. Except for Zhao Hu, everyone else saluted casually.

The division commander's eyes flashed, but he still waved his hand with a smile on his face and said, "You're welcome, just sit down."

As soon as the division commander said, except Zhao Hu, the others sat down immediately without any politeness.

Seeing Zhao Hu who was still standing and waiting for him to sit down, the division commander smiled and waved to Zhao Hu and said, "Major Zhao Hu, please come up."

"Yes." Zhao Hu hurriedly came to the division commander to salute.

"Haha, don't be too polite. Come on, let me introduce you to you. This is Major Zhao Hu from the imperial capital. He serves as the staff officer of the Fifth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade. I believe everyone has heard of his name, but has never seen anyone. Please get familiar with it."

The five major generals and several school officials nodded at Zhao Hu with a smile, while the others looked indifferent. One or two of them even looked at Zhao Hu hostilely.

Then, one of the hostile school officials immediately stood up and said, "Teacher Commander, isn't the chief officer of the corps commander or above qualified to participate in this meeting? Why did he, a small major adviser, run in?"

His words immediately aroused the response of most people: "Yes, yes, drive him out quickly!"

"That's right! A major in charge dares to enter this venue? He's really ignorant!"

Zhao Hu stood there with an expressionless face. Judging from the performance of these officers, Zhao Hu already understood that the chief officers of the regiment no longer took their immediate superiors seriously.

After the division commander looked at Zhao Hu, he looked at the five brigade commanders who were smiling and silent. He smiled and increased his voice and said, "The Fifth Regiment Captain of the Fifth Brigade led the troops to fight with the Shanyue soldiers to death, and the entire regiment has been killed and served the country. Therefore, according to the Imperial Military Rules, Major Zhao Hu automatically became the commander of the Fifth Regiment."

Hearing this, several school officials immediately laughed out loud and said, "Swish, a major staff officer serves as the commander of the entire army. If there are no one, why should we be the commander? The division commander, I suggest that Major Zhao Hu return to the division headquarters and continue to serve as the staff. If the Fifth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade is gone, it will be gone, so as not to have an empty organization to defraud military pay."

"Oh, maybe this major escaped at the last minute, otherwise why did the entire corps die in battle but he lives well? I suggest handing him over to the gendarmerie for strict review, and finding out his deserter crimes!"

"Haha, agree! I agree!"

"Yes, he must be punished according to the law!"

Hearing these messy words, the division commander was not angry, but instead blinked at Zhao Hu and smiled: "Major Zhao Hu, do you have any doubts about you? I wonder if you will explain it?"

Zhao Hu immediately said: "Yes, the Xiaguan received the order from the corps captain to protect the people of Jinwencheng, so the Xiaguan did not go out of the city to fight with the team."

Zhao Hu was not a fool either. He automatically changed the order to protect the people of Jinwencheng instead of garrisoning the city. Otherwise, abandoning the city would be a serious crime according to the order. As for the order book? The entire corps headquarters fell into Zhao Hu's hands, and it was not difficult to rewrite a point.

In the past, Zhao Hu just didn't care about his life, and he was never a rigid person. Besides, Zhao Hu didn't think it was wrong to abandon the city and protect the people. As long as the city was gone, it could still be rebuilt if it was gone. His heart was calm and he had no guilt at all.

"Oh, since that's the case, why did you abandon Jinwencheng and appear here? After all, you still escaped at the last minute!" A school official stood up and pointed at Zhao Hu and said. This school official was the captain of the Fourth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade just now.

Zhao Hu didn't understand why these school officials were hostile to him? He did not offend them. He still explained: "Ten thousand people in Jinwen City have been placed outside the provincial capital, and the subordinate officials have completed the task."

Zhao Hu's words stunned everyone. It can be said that there was no excuse to attack Zhao Hu. After the captain of the Fourth Regiment understood the difference between the people of Jinwencheng and Jinwencheng, he sat down with an ugly expression.

The division commander smiled and said, "Since that's the case, the official appointed Major Zhao Hu as the captain of the Fifth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade in accordance with the law. Because Major Zhao Hu rescued tens of thousands of people from the Shanyue soldiers safely from the Shanyue soldiers, according to the imperial military exercises, he was promoted to Major Zhao Hu as a colonel with a false title, and then changed the actual title after reporting to the emperor's capital. Do you have no objection?"

No one objected to this appointment. What's the use of a short gang leader? And I want to wait for the imperial capital to appoint a real title? Hehe, the imperial capital is in chaos. After the appointment is issued, the world will not know what the situation will be. Just hold the major's military salary for the rest of your life.

Zhao Hu was stunned. He was promoted to colonel just by just a little bit? Shouldn’t he be promoted after checking and verifying his military merits? Why did he promote himself in just a few words?

Speaking of which, Zhao Hu admired the cumbersome and rigorousness of the imperial military exercises. He did not expect that this military exercise would not be taken seriously.

Seeing that no one said anything, the division commander immediately said, "Since that's the case, then the appointment is issued."

As he said that, he took out a small roll of sheepskin and a pair of colonel ranks from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Hu. Seeing this, the officers and the five major generals frowned. It turned out that the division commander had already been prepared. Could this meeting be to promote Zhao Hu, a boy from the imperial capital? All of them are foils?

Thinking of this, everyone looked bad. After seeing Zhao Hu accepting the appointment letter and changing his military rank, the division commander smiled and said, "Col. Zhao Hu, I wonder how many people are in your city guard now?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. The school officials were a little suspicious that the division commander had a broken mind and that the Fifth Regiment of the Regular Army had been wiped out. They still care about what the City Guard, which had only a few people, did? Could it be that the City Guard was converted into the new recruits of the Fifth Regiment? Relying on the old, weak and remnant soldiers to reorganize the Fifth Regiment? He could think of it.

"Ten thousand people." Zhao Hu also calculated the three thousand soldiers under Sun Jie's command to escort the people of Jinwen City. Although they could not compare with the eight thousand people who had been guarding the city for many days, they were also members of the city guard after all.

"What?! Ten thousand people! Damn! The city guards are equivalent to three regiments! Are there millions of people in Jinwen City?" The officers immediately shouted.

The division commander obviously did not expect that Zhao Hu's city guard would have tens of thousands! His face was first surprised, and then turned into a surprise. He came happily and whispered: "Col. Zhao Hu, the number of guards in the division headquarters is really scarce. I wonder if I can support some personnel? Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, after all, we are also business partners.

Zhao Hu was stunned, and then he saw the commander of the Fifth Brigade walking to the side and looking at him with a smile without saying a word. He immediately realized that these two immediate bosses were so kind to him, because they were attracted by the city guards in their hands. But they could directly order their troops to be transferred, why...

Seeing the school officials with excitement, Zhao Hu suddenly realized that at this time, the soldiers in his hands were the chief officer's private soldiers, and other people could not be mobilized at all.

"Well, please rest assured, the subordinates will not disappoint the superiors." Zhao Hu said lightly when he saw the two eyes staring at their superiors.

Without receiving a reply on the spot, the brigade commander and the division commander both showed disappointed expressions on their faces. However, when they thought of such a thing, Zhao Hu had to go back and discuss it, so he let it go for the time being.

The division commander coughed dryly and said to everyone: "This time, in addition to reporting the news of the invasion of the Shanyue Kingdom, there are also issues that determine your resident."

The school officials who were still clamoring were immediately silent, and they all looked at the map of the seaside province hanging on the walls of the division commander.
