This time, Liu Ming, the deputy general of the Zhennan Army, led the 5,000 Zhennan Army and went his own way. He took the initiative to enter the territory of the southern barbarians and actively looked for fighter opportunities. As a result, he returned in defeat.

Originally, returning from a major defeat was nothing, but the most important thing is that Liu Ming actually escaped from the battle when the army encountered the most difficult situation, leaving the army in the dense forest of the Southern Wilderness, while he took his cronies and military equipment with him.

Han Tiese ran directly back to Zhennancheng.

This kind of thing is extremely bad, and it can be said that people and gods are outraged. However, what is unexpected is that Zhennancheng seems to turn a blind eye to Liu Ming's mistake, and there is no disciplinary measure at all.

This immediately aroused the public excitement. The more than 4,000 Zhennan Army who followed Wu Feng and fled back to the Li Kingdom, including almost all officers of some rank, all ran to Zhennan City and guarded the Zhennan Army General Lei Pen.

Outside the yamen, he requested that Liu Ming be held accountable.

The Zhennan Army has one commander and three deputies, and Lei Pen is the well-deserved commander.

The three lieutenants are his current deputies.

The future successor will be selected from these three lieutenants.

In fact, this time Liu Ming was able to lead nearly half of the Zhennan Army on the expedition mainly because of Lei Peng's nod.

The reason why Lei Peng nodded was that Liu Ming had given him enough benefits.

After all, Ray-Ban also needs to have a good time. If he doesn't receive some benefits from these, should he be allowed to drink the northwest wind?

Besides, as the commander-in-chief of an army, he needs to arrange a lot of social places on weekdays. If he doesn't make a little more money now, what will he do to get a good position when he is transferred out of here one day?

The other one is Liu Ming. He is not an ordinary person, but has certain strength.

The Liu family is a famous family in the history of the country.

In the Li Kingdom, although King Li blocked the sky with one hand and tried to put his authority in a supreme position, he could get everyone's support when dealing with the sect, but not with the aristocratic families.

This is because the family has forged countless in-laws with each other over the years, and has even formed countless relationships with King Li's royal family.

In a word, the broken bones were still connected to the tendons, so King Li had to choose to compromise.

Liu Ming's family is one of the eight major families in the empire.

In the past, there were four major families of martial arts and four major families of civil society. Of course, they were friends with each other and were very powerful.

As a result, their family members have old friends and various relationships throughout the Li Kingdom. Therefore, although Lei Peng is also a family of generals, compared with the eight major families, their family is really nothing.

Even if Liu Ming's family is the Wen family, a family is a family. Even though Lei Peng became the commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army, he is nothing in front of a real family.

Moreover, Lei Peng can achieve this Zhennan City, the chief general of the Zhennan Army

, he actually made deals with these aristocratic families behind the scenes, otherwise, such a good job would not be his turn.

As for Liu Ming being the co-pilot here, it is actually scheduled. When Lei Peng resigns in the future, Liu Ming will replace the commander.

However, since King Li's thoughts on the development of the Southern Wilderness have long been known to the public, this Zhennan City has become increasingly important.

Because the position of the commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army is no longer disliked by everyone as before, it has now become a favourite.

Therefore, in the competition between all parties, in the end, two other deputy generals were produced besides Liu Ming, making this army of ten thousand people actually have a chief general and two deputy generals.

This forced Liu Ming not to use any means to obtain half of this temporary military command from Lei Ban, in an attempt to fight against the people of the Southern Wilderness. After gaining this prestige and credit, he would first stabilize the promotion of the chief general.

Sitting status.

As a result, not only did they achieve nothing, but they also abandoned a large number of troops in the enemy's territory and were surrounded by people. If Wu Feng hadn't snatched the position at the altar at that critical moment and fought for a way out for the army, all the troops would have been killed.

If you bring it out.

I'm afraid this whole army will be wiped out.

Therefore, Liu Ming's battle basically became a laughing stock. Although he was still trying his best to cover it up, the more than 4,000 soldiers who returned from the Zhennan Army were still strictly ordered to stay on the border and did not return to Zhennan City. In fact,

This joke has spread throughout the streets and alleys in the south of the town.

According to the normal pattern, this Liu Ming has become a laughing stock and has no chance of becoming a general.

But the power of the aristocratic family lies in this. Even if it reaches this point, the more the aristocratic family becomes like this, the more it must prove its authority.

They had to promote Liu Ming to the position of commander, so they carried out a series of operations behind the scenes.

As the commander-in-chief, Lei Ban could only say that this matter was beyond his control.

Since Liu Ming has not been punished, the position of the Zhennan Army with more than 4,000 people is a bit embarrassing.

But this time, the family behind Liu Ming, after some gaming and manipulation, finally decided to place more than 4,000 Zhennan troops on the jagged front line as a force for border defense.

Then, these more than 4,000 people were separated from the Zhennan Army's establishment, and the remaining vacancies were re-recruited by the Zhennan Army.

In this way, the entire Zhennan Army knew about Liu Ming's scandal, or everyone who was at odds with Liu Ming was expelled from the Zhennan Army.

From here you can see the horror of the family. It was originally Liu Ming's fault, and logically he should have been kicked out of the Zhennan Army.

In the end, just for the sake of the family's face, Liu Ming, who made the mistake, was fine and kicked out more than 4,000 Zhennan troops who had narrowly escaped death.

Wu Feng, who was watching with cold eyes, couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he did not participate in the trouble this time. Otherwise, there would really be no good fruits to be gained.

And judging from the punishment for this incident, the power of this worldly family cannot be underestimated.

Wu Feng was very happy. If it hadn't been for this incident, he wouldn't have been able to see the power of this family. If he accidentally offended the family without understanding it, he would have suffered a big loss.

Lei Pen was in Zhennan City at this time, gathering together again with Zuo Qing, Tong Pang, and Li Tianxing.

"What? General Ray-Ban has been so leisurely and elegant recently that he came to party with us!"

This Zuo Qing is Ray-Ban's mortal enemy. When he sees Ray-Ban, he becomes angry and speaks pointedly.

"Why can't I be leisurely and elegant? It's not because I sent troops to fight the defeat." Lei Ban rarely quarreled with Zuo Qing, but looked like he was chatting and laughing.

The look that Ray-Ban showed made Zuo Qing stunned. He didn't expect that Ray-Ban would look like this today. He seemed to be much easier to talk to than usual.

It's just that he didn't know that Lei Ban was really happy because he, the commander-in-chief, had really suffered a lot. Not only Liu Ming, but also the other two lieutenants were both descendants of aristocratic families.

As a deputy general, Liu Ming was in trouble. He was unable to make decisions on some matters. This was because these three generals were all born into famous families, which to a certain extent deprived him of the authority of his chief general.

So for Ray-Ban who still wants to make a contribution, he is very reluctant in his heart.

"Don't make any noise, everyone!" Tong Pang still acted like a good gentleman, but he was always picking things up in his words, "This time, Vice General Liu Ming did something very bad, so I won't give him a good punishment.

How will General Lei lead his troops in the future?"

"Now that Liu Ming has left a large group of troops to the enemy, but Wu Feng from the sect came back with a large group of troops, the hearts of many people are no longer toward the court." Zuo Qing also said in a yin and yang manner.

In their eyes, it was undeserved for Wu Feng to be in the limelight. For those in the sect, how could he be given a chance to turn the tide?

Isn't this an opportunity for them to cause trouble outside?

As a civil servant, Zuo Qing kept a close eye on all people who did not belong to the imperial court.

Wu Feng has naturally been in his records for a long time.

He himself is the ancestor of the Sword Sect. When he woke up after ten thousand years, his strength could be said to be gone, leaving only a little strength.

But the strangest thing is this. This Wu Feng has been silent and honest. He really doesn't look like an ancestor.

No one knows what is going on in his mind.
