At dawn the next day, when the sky was still gray, thousands of soldiers had gathered outside the south canal and lined up in front of the east gate.
As for their commanding officer, he had already entered the county town. He sat upright in the meeting hall of the brigade headquarters and quietly waited for the arrival of the 74th Brigade Commander, Cai Rui, who was also their young commander.
"Stand up!"
"Greetings, Young Marshal!"
In the conference hall, when Cai Rui led Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong, and Thunderous Battle to appear in front of the officers of the 74th Brigade, everyone's expressions became serious. They all stood up and bowed to Cai Rui.
Zhao Zhengyang, the chief of staff of the brigade, was about to walk over to Cai Rui and take the military woolen coat off his back.
"You, stand there obediently! I'll do it myself!"
" Zhao Zhengyang!" Cai Rui shouted at the fawning Zhao Zhengyang. Cai Rui stopped him, causing Zhao Zhengyang's heart to skip a beat.
"Da da-"
The sound of Cai Rui's leather boots was like stepping on everyone's hearts. Looking at the young commander who was walking over unhurriedly, the officers of the 74th Brigade suddenly realized that their young commander seemed to have changed.
He had become a little mature! It was a little hard to see through!
Cai Rui swept his gaze across the officers present. He took off his military coat and tossed it to Thunderous Battle, who was behind him. Then, he walked to the head of the conference table.
"I'm sure…you've heard about the attack on me not long ago. I was so close, and I might not be able to see you today!”
As he said this, Cai Rui pointed at his left shoulder and chest, where he had been shot.
"Perhaps you're wondering who dared to attack me!”
"Hmph, I'll give you an answer now!”
With a cold snort, Cai Rui slammed his palm on the long meeting table, causing all the officers of the 74th Brigade to freeze.
The next moment, Cai Rui suddenly pulled out the Browning pistol from Chu Yunfei's waist and pointed it at the chief of staff who wanted to welcome him.
"Zhao Zhengyang, I've given you a lot of benefits. Since you betrayed me, you can go to hell!”
"Do you really think that I don't know that you and Tang Yao are flirting?”
"Pa ~!"
Cai Rui pulled the trigger of the pistol. Following the sound of a gunshot, a red and white object appeared between the brows of Zhao Zhengyang, the chief of staff of the brigade. He fell to the ground with a thud.
There was still the fear of death on his face.
"Hehe, Zhao Zhengyang is not the only one. He only revealed my whereabouts, but someone else really wants to kill me!”
Cai Rui blew at the muzzle of the gun and slowly walked behind a middle-aged regiment commander. He patted the regiment commander's shoulder, causing his body to tremble.
"Am I right, Guild Leader Wang Chao Shan?”
"If I remember correctly, you should be the group of people who followed my father back then!”
"What benefits did that City Guardian Long Yun give you? You actually want to take my head to claim credit? Did he promise to make you the brigade commander of the 74th Brigade after he chased Tang Yao away?”
Cai Rui's words were spoken very softly. Wang Chaoshan, who was in front of him, was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Brigadier, please spare my life, Brigadier, please spare my life. It was all because of Long Yun's enticement.”
Before he could finish, a bullet had pierced through Wang Chaoshan's back, and blood splattered out of his body, dyeing the ground red.
"I'm sorry, but I hate people who betray me the most!”
After dealing with the two traitors, Cai Rui held back the urge to vomit as he smelled the blood in the meeting room. He sat down with a calm expression.
"Crash ~!"
As he sat down, all the officers of the 74th Brigade dared to sit down.
With Cai Rui's massacre just now, almost no one present dared to breathe loudly.
"Alright, now that the traitor has been dealt with, I'll talk about what's going to happen next!”
"The first order: The position of the third regiment commander of Dynasty Mountain will be taken over by Li Yun Long.”
"Old Li, that seat is yours!”
Cai Rui looked around at the officers present and pointed at the chair behind Wang Chaoshan, the commander of the Third Regiment.
As for Wang Chaoshan and Zhao Zhengyang's bodies, they had already been carried out by the sentries outside the door.
"As you command, Major!"
Li Yunlong gave Cai Rui a standard military salute and sat down at the position of the commander of the 3rd Regiment without hesitation.
"The second order, Chu Yunfei will take over the position of Chief of Staff of the brigade.”
As he said this, Cai Rui was playing with the Browning pistol that had just killed the Chief of Staff and the Commander of the Third Regiment.
"Young Marshal, Zhao Zhengyang and Wang Chaoshan are traitors. They deserve to be killed! Just give the order!"
"Even if you change me, the commander of the 1st Regiment, I, Wang Jiaben, and my brothers will not object, let alone you changing the chief of staff!”
A middle-aged man sitting on Cai Rui's left suddenly stood up and patted his chest.
"Thank you for your support, Uncle Wang!"
Faced with the middle-aged man's attitude, Cai Rui put away his " overbearing arrogance " and stood up to bow to the middle-aged man.
There was no other reason. This person was worth it.
The leader of the First Regiment, Wang Jia, was originally his father's trusted subordinate. If he hadn't helped him all these years, perhaps the previous owner of this body might not have been able to secure his position as the brigade commander of the 74th Brigade.
What Cai Rui respected even more was that Wang Yuanben was a lieutenant general who had died in battle.
"That's right, Major. First Regiment Commander is right. Let's see who dares to refuse!”
A burly middle-aged man stood up. It was the commander of the second regiment, Cunqi.
As a comrade who had gone through life and death with Cai E, his position in the 74th regiment was not much worse than Cai Rui's. Cunqi was also a valiant general who had died on the battlefield.
"Thank you, uncles!"
After sincerely bowing to the two uncles, Cai Rui announced his third order.
"The entire army will go to the mountains to train and change weapons. In a month, we will go to the capital and settle the Southern Mountain Range!”
