Niu Fu had an indignant expression.
Hearing his words, Dong Zhuo frowned.
Yes, half a year had passed.
Although he didn't give Hwa Xiong any weapons, he had given him enough rations.
Why was there no news from Hwa Xiong after half a year?
"Hwa Xiong, how's the training going for the new recruits?”Dong Zhuo asked.
Everyone looked at Hwa Xiong, gloating.
"Reporting to Grand Preceptor, the new army is very successful.”
Hwa Xiong said neither obsequiously nor arrogantly.
"If you lie to the Grand Preceptor, you will be beheaded.”
Niu Fu said sinisterly.
He didn't believe Hwa Xiong's nonsense.
Are you kidding me? That's 50,000 sets of armor. Do you think you can make them with just a move of your mouth?
"You don't have to worry about this, General Niu.”
Hwa Xiong retorted.
Niu Fu's face turned ashen from choking. He could only say to Dong Zhuo hatefully,
"I suggest that Grand Preceptor inspect the Wolf Army to see if Hwa Xiong is slacking off.”
"I agree."
"I do have to take a good look."
The others also seized the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Dong Zhuo thought that this new army was very important to him. If Hwa Xiong slacked off, all his efforts would go to waste.
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice,
"Hwa Xiong, you've been training for some time. Why don't you let me and the generals check on your training today?”
"This subordinate will obey!"
Hwa Xiong cupped his hands and calmly agreed.
In order to prevent Hwa Xiong from playing any tricks, Niu Fu and the others escorted Dong Zhuo to the camp of the wolf army.
The guards at the door saw Hwa Xiong and quickly let him in.
The camp of the wolf army was empty except for the tents.
There wasn't even a bird, let alone a human.
Hwa Xiong, where are the soldiers?"
Dong Zhuo's eyes were filled with coldness as he stared at Hwa Xiong and asked.
Niu Fu and the others couldn't help but reveal delighted smiles.
This kid is indeed lazy. He didn't properly train the new army for the Grand Preceptor. Let's see how you explain this to the Grand Preceptor!
Facing Dong Zhuo's questioning, Hwa Xiong was not flustered.
"Reporting to Grand Preceptor, the soldiers have been tired from training recently. Today is a day of rest.”
"Heh, how can soldiers be tired during training? The Grand Preceptor had come to inspect, so quickly gather the soldiers.”
Niu Fu berated him, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
You can be stubborn!
"Niu Fu is right. Hwa Xiong, quickly gather the soldiers!”
Dong Zhuo said coldly.
"Yes, sir."
Hwa Xiong took out a horn made of cow's horns from the tent at the side and blew it.
The heavy sound of the horn echoed in the barracks.
Before Dong Zhuo and the others could react, the originally quiet camp suddenly became noisy.
Countless footsteps could be heard from all directions, and a dense group of people came out of the tent.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the 50,000-man army had lined up and stood in the empty space of the camp.
"Reporting to Grand Preceptor and General, the 50,000 men of the Wolf Army have gathered!”
Gao Shun took a step forward and said loudly.
Hwa Xiong nodded slightly and looked at Dong Zhuo.
"The 50,000 wolf soldiers have gathered.”
Fifty thousand werewolves appeared out of thin air, their formation neat and orderly.
They stood there without making any noise.
The entire army exuded a murderous aura.
Dong Zhuo looked around and had the illusion that even the Western Liang Army was no match for this wolf army.
"You did very well!"
Dong Zhuo was surprised and delighted. He couldn't help but praise.
Hwa Xiong smiled and glanced sideways at Niu Fu." General Niu, do you still suspect that I'm slacking off?”
Niu Fu stared at the army in front of him, his face filled with disbelief.
Not to mention the appearance of the wolf soldiers, just the armor on their bodies was enough to make him dumbfounded.
How did this kid do it?
Niu Fu could not believe his eyes. He walked forward and carefully checked the armor on the soldiers of the wolf army.
She wanted to see if Hwa Xiong was up to something.
Unfortunately, the armor on the soldiers was real!
"How is this possible? How did you get 50,000 sets of armor in half a year?”
Niu Fu could not help but exclaim.
"Speaking of which, I still have to thank General Ox. If you hadn't given me the iron materials, how could I have these 50,000 sets of armor?”
Hwa Xiong pretended to thank Niu Fu.
Niu Fu's face revealed a stiff smile, but he was cursing in his heart.
The quality of the armor worn by the soldiers of the Wolf Army far exceeded that of the Western Liang Army. It could only be described as excellent.
How did Hwa Xiong do it?
"General Hua is truly the pillar of our empire!”
Dong Zhuo praised after inspecting the wolf army.
He had only provided the basic provisions, but Hwa Xiong had managed to train such an elite army in half a year. How could he not be pleased?
His gaze towards Hwa Xiong became even more heated.
If not for the fact that his daughter was already married to Niu Fu, Li Ru, and the others, he would have taken Hwa Xiong as his son-in-law and tried to win him over.
The satisfied Dong Zhuo rewarded Hua Xiong with many gold and silver treasures.
Niu Fu and the others had ugly expressions on their faces. They felt as if they had eaten a fly.
After the inspection, Niu Fu angrily returned to the Ministry of War and found Jia Xu who was busy with military affairs.
"It's all your fault!"
Niu Fu roared.
Jia Xu was shocked and said with a blank expression," General, what does this mean?”
"If you hadn't suggested a deal with Hwa Xiong, how could he have forged 50,000 sets of armor?!”
Niu Fu said angrily.
"How is this possible?" Jia Xu was shocked.
Forging 50,000 sets of armor in half a year was absolutely impossible!
"Hmph, why not? The Grand Preceptor and I just finished inspecting the Wolf Army, and the 50,000 sets of armor are right there!”
Niu Fu sneered.
"I understand now. You must have wanted to rely on Hwa Xiong, so you helped him plead for mercy!”
"Your Excellency, this is an injustice!"
Jia Xu was shocked.
"Wronged my ass. Otherwise, why would Hwa Xiong recruit you?”
The more Niu Fu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. His gaze towards Jia Xu was filled with anger.
"Men, arrest Jia Xu!”
A group of soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers.
Fortunately, there were other colleagues in the Bureau of Military Personnel who desperately pleaded for Jia Xu.
Only then did Niu Fu dispel the thought of cutting Jia Xu down.
"From now on, you are not allowed to appear in Chang 'an Fortress again. Otherwise, I will definitely cut off your head!”
Niu Fu waved his hand and ordered people to chase Jia Xu out of the Ministry of War.
Jia Xu stood in a daze for a while before leaving with a bitter smile.
He did not expect that he would end up in such a state after giving Niu Fu advice with all his might.
Forget it, since Niu Fu wasn't worth assisting, he might as well go to Hwa Xiong.
Thinking of this, Jia Xu braced himself and headed towards Hua Xiong's mansion.
Outside Hua Xiong's residence, Jia Xu reported his intentions.
The servant at the door went in to report. A moment later, Jia Xu heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
