to him. That person seems to have been lurking around him for quite some time."An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, "Do you have someone in mind""The Commander of the Imperial Forest Guard."“...”An..."Besides, not to mention their wanton killings of innocents, what about the soldiers who died recently Are you also so indifferent to their deaths"

"The Red Nation's army has once again invaded our borders. If we allow someone as inept as Zhou Yuan to continue as the General of the Western Army, blindly commanding your battles, you will all end up like those fallen brothers—giving your lives on the battlefield!"

"Zhou Yuan has committed countless evils, abused his power, and lacks the ability to command an army. Such a person naturally does not deserve his current position. Even without the arrival of the Northern Border King, as you continue to suffer defeat after defeat, the court will inevitably hold him accountable, and his life will be forfeit."

“Men like Zhou Yuan and Wang Xing, who are nothing but trouble, cannot be allowed to remain. Lord Beijang has decreed that from today onwards, positions within the camp will be awarded based on ability. Although our Yun family army will temporarily fight alongside you, we shall depart once this conflict is resolved. Therefore, the defense of Youlan City will rest in your hands thereafter.”

"Our prince's military tactics are renowned throughout the land. So, for those of you who wish to learn the art of defending a city, or how to become a capable general, or even think you have what it takes to be a good leader, step forward and enlist!"

Zhou Yuan's position will be chosen from among you. Whether or not he can fulfill the duties of the Generalissimo of the West depends on his strength.

"As for the various military ranks, from today onwards, all former deputy generals will have their positions revoked and their authority withdrawn. You should all know how you came to hold these deputy general positions. If anyone has any objections, come forward."

After Wang Xing's death just now, who would dare to step forward at this time After all, none of them dared to say that they had done nothing wrong. So even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they didn't dare to risk speaking out against it.

Seeing that no one stepped forward, Yun Liu's lips curled into a sneer. "Since the previous generals have no objections, then let's just say it like this. For this period of time, our Yun Family Army will temporarily remain in their respective positions, leading everyone to defeat the enemy army. At the same time, each of us in the Yun Family Army can bring ten people with us."

"Before we leave, who can take our place to continue guarding Youlan City The position will be decided based on strength. I wonder if everyone is willing to accept this method"

Yunliu's proposed method was unheard of in the military, but everyone knew that this approach gave opportunities to those without status or background.

As long as they are strong enough, they can get the official position they want, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity for most people.

So when Yunliu said this, the crowd began to whisper to each other. Yunliu wasn't in a hurry though, just calmly watching the people below.

After a while, someone suddenly stepped forward and bowed before asking:

"I wholeheartedly agree with the general's words. King Beijang's military achievements over the years have earned my utmost admiration. To be able to learn from the Cloud Family Army, personally trained by King Beijang, is a stroke of incredible luck for me, it's like my ancestors are blessing me."

"...."

Yunliu's mouth twitched. This sounded like an insult...

If not for the soldier's stern appearance, Yunliu might have scolded him.

“The soldier continued, “My subordinate doesn't quite understand. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army camp, but now King Beijang has only brought about a thousand people. Even if each person could bring ten others, that would only be ten thousand people. How will these ten thousand people be chosen”

Yun Liu nodded slightly. "Well said, these ten thousand men will naturally rely on their strength. Everyone should know the news that the Red Nation army has arrived at our border. The emperor has ordered us to defend Youlan City, so we must repel the enemy."

"This campaign, whoever kills the most enemies and ranks within the top ten thousand will be eligible to stand by my side. Positions in the army after this will also be chosen from within those ten thousand, including the position of General of the West!"

"!"

Did they not hear correctly Choosing another Western Champion from this lot of them

Then... what about the former Generalissimo of Zhenxi

Everyone looked at Zhou Yuan on the stage, who was lying motionless with a pained and contorted expression.

Zhou Yuan's father was also a courageous and capable general, but he had passed away a few years ago.

Before he died, he always had Zhou Yuan by his side, and he credited his military achievements to Zhou Yuan. But who in the army didn't know that Zhou Yuan was incompetent and did many evil things

Apart from anything else, his public acts of robbing respectable women in the city these years alone make people disapprove of him.

What can they do if they simply don't agree Now the generals in the army were almost all promoted by Zhou Yuan's father. They would only listen to Zhou Yuan. Even if Zhou Yuan did something that violated morality, they would only help him cover it up.

Over the years, Zhou Yuan has faced no punishment whatsoever. He remains the most powerful general in the army.

He inherited his father's title of Generalissimo of the West, and no one could touch him.

Now that the King of Beijang has arrived, Zhou Yuan has already paid the price. Although they dare not show it on their faces, deep down they are delighted.

Yun Liu saw all eyes were on Zhou Yuan, he immediately took a step forward and stood before him, shouting loudly:

"The military camp isn't a place where anyone can rule with an iron fist. Our duty is to protect the people and our homeland, not abuse our power to harm them or send innocent soldiers to their deaths!"

From now on, anyone who violates military discipline and commits a serious offense, no matter who they are or what their status is, will face this consequence!

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately drew the dagger from his waist, severing Zhou Yuan's tendons in his legs and arms, causing him excruciating pain. He then struck Zhou Yuan's neck with his internal energy.

In the next instant, Zhou Yuan's head... was just like that chopped off.

This scene immediately left everyone present speechless and in disbelief.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's blood-soaked head, they had no choice but to believe that what was happening before them was real.

Everyone looked at Yunliu, who had made the move, and then subconsciously glanced at King Bei Jiang, who had remained silent.

The King of the Northern Frontier's face never changed, as if such things were commonplace to him.

Yunliu looked at the expressions of the people below and knew that his move to kill the chicken to scare the monkey had achieved its purpose, "Who will hang Zhou Yuan's head on the city wall"

The scene fell silent for a moment, then the man who had just stood up and questioned Yunliu stepped forward again. "General, let me go," he said.

Yun Liu nodded in satisfaction, “Good! What’s your name”

"Returning to General, my name is Li Teng."

"Li Teng, is that your name... I remember you. After this battle against the Red Army is over, if you're still alive, I'll personally take you with me!"

Li Teng beamed with joy and immediately knelt down, "Li Teng thanks the General in advance.". One of them then laughed and said, "To the young lady, the two young masters from Anle Hou's mansion have indeed returned to the capital. According to my subordinates, those two young masters have a...
