Chapter 236: Talented General, Pick Up the Child
"Who is the commander chosen by the court?"

Shen Xiangwan frowned almost imperceptibly. She always felt that there was something else behind Wei Chengyi's words, and it seemed that he was not optimistic about the commander-in-chief chosen by the court.

"Xiong Tiancheng, former commander of the Western Border Army."

"what?"

Hearing his answer, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but be dumbfounded. It is said that a bad soldier is as bad as a bad general. In her opinion, the biggest reason why the Western Border Army could not stop the Western Hu people and even lacked the courage to face them was the commander. The court actually dared to appoint him as the commander-in-chief to quell the rebellion. He was really not afraid of sacrificing the lives of the grassroots soldiers!
"Surprised? I said before that the court doesn't have many choices. Xiong Tiancheng is already considered a tall man among a group of dwarfs."

With such a huge country, the emperor is not completely without anyone to use. It's just that he has finally suppressed those people, so how can he personally give them military power?

"He's the only one who's tall? Then what about you?"

Shen Xiangwan rolled his eyes speechlessly. As far as leading troops to fight was concerned, Wei Chengyi's record was enough to beat that guy named Xiong by several blocks. However, it would be good for him to be the commander-in-chief. As long as they could win a battle, the momentum of the rebels would surely be stronger, and it would not be so easy for the court to suppress them again. Moreover, their victory might even inspire the rebels in Quanzhou and Taizhou, allowing them to make a comeback.

"Don't compare me to him."

Pretending to be unpleasant, Wei Chengyi glared at her and shook his head helplessly. It was not that he looked down on Xiong Tiancheng, they were simply not on the same level.

"By the way, why did Chu Liang suddenly write to me? Did you subdue him?"

According to the original owner's memory, when Chu Liang joined the army, she had not yet been taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Logically, he should not know that she has been exiled to Chenzhou, unless someone told him.

"Well, he is a rare general, and the East Territory cannot be in chaos."

Wei Chengyi did not deny it. After thinking for a while, he continued, "If the Qiang Kingdom knew that I was exiled, they would definitely launch a large-scale invasion. The Wei family has guarded the eastern border for generations. My grandfather, father and brother all died on the battlefield. The meaning of that place to our Wei family is different. I can't watch it suffer. But if I support other generals, the emperor will definitely be wary and may even kill them. Only Chu Liang, at least on the surface, has nothing to do with me."

The most important thing is that in his previous life, it was Chu Liang who stepped forward to stabilize the situation and led the remaining East Border Army to launch a counterattack, driving out the Qiang people who had already entered the East Border. He was undoubtedly the most suitable person to replace the Wei family to lead the East Border Army.

"Okay, as long as you guys agree."

In the original novel, Chu Liang was the commander-in-chief of the East Territory Army in the end, and Shen Xiangwan had no objection to that. As for whether Wei Chengyi mentioned her when he conquered Chu Liang, she said it didn't matter. If their relationship could make their cooperation more pleasant and save the people of the East Territory from the suffering of war, it would not be impossible to make use of it.

"Stay and help me with government affairs?"

Seeing through her thoughts at a glance, Wei Chengyi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. He knew that the little scoundrel would not care about such a small matter. In order to convince Chu Liang, he did take advantage of their relationship.

"Am I crazy?"

Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan jumped three feet away and said politely, "You can take care of it yourself. I still have to go to school to pick up the children."

After saying this, without caring about their reactions, Shen Xiangwan turned around and strode out of the study.

"hehe···"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Wei Chengyi could not help laughing out loud. Yuan Xiu and Yuan Shu, who were also staying in the study to discuss matters, also laughed. As for Yan Lang, who had originally stayed at home, he went to the military camp with Wei Chenghe the day after Wei Chengyi returned.

"Aunt, Aunt..."

At three quarters past noon, the school had its lunch break on time. Shen Xiangwan had already arrived outside with Wu Lixiu. The little cub came out and ran excitedly when he saw her. Dongzi, Zhou Changyun and others did not hesitate and quickened their pace.

"Slow down, Auntie can't run here, what if she falls?"

Squatting down to catch him, Shen Xiangwan patted his little butt in annoyance.

"But I miss my aunt."

Holding her neck, the little cub leaned against her and acted coquettishly.

Shen Xiangwan was comforted by him, and took him up and asked as they walked by his side, "Is the school fun? Are you going again this afternoon?"

"It's not fun. My uncle is very fierce." The little cub immediately frowned. It was obvious that the school was totally different from what he had imagined.

"Oh?"

Raising his eyebrows, Shen Xiangwan lowered his eyes and smiled: "How fierce is it?"

"They were very fierce, they didn't even smile, and they didn't allow us to talk, or they would spank our hands."

Frowning and thinking for a while, the little cub said in a childish voice.

"Did you fight then?"

Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh. Isn't it the most basic rule not to talk during class? Sure enough, he is still a child.

"No, An Ge'er didn't say anything, we were all behaving well!"

"Hmm."

The little cub waved his hands repeatedly, and Dongzi and others on the side nodded in agreement. They were all good kids and would not be slapped.

"Are you still going this afternoon?"

"go."

Hearing this, the little cub gave an affirmative answer without thinking. Although his uncle was really fierce and didn't allow them to talk, there were not only friends in the school, but also many little brothers who were very nice to him. During breaks, they could also play together. For now, going to school was still very novel for him.

"Well, keep going then."

Shen Xiangwan smiled and shook her head, hoping that he could always maintain this positive energy and not cry whenever he mentioned going to school.

"Ow!"

Seeing them approaching from a distance, the little wolf cub waiting outside the door ran towards them howling.

"noob."

Seeing this, the little cub immediately broke free from Shen Xiangwan's hand, went up to it and held it in his arms: "Xiaobai, are you behaving well?"

"Ow."

As if responding to him, the little wolf raised its head and barked twice.

"Xiaobai is so good!"

Imitating what adults usually do, the cub lifted it up and gave it a kiss, then used one free hand to rub its head.

When they entered the house, the table was already filled with delicious food. Zhao Yuping held the little cub and kept looking at him, fearing that there was something wrong with him. Shen Xiangwan was speechless. Isn't it just going to school? In his own school, is it necessary to worry so much?
"Mom, An Ge'er has been reading for the whole morning, he must be hungry, let's eat first."

She is not the only one who is speechless.

Wei Ling'er also felt helpless. Her mother was good in every way except that she worried too much.

"Yes, yes, let's eat first."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuping let go of the cub and led him to the table full of delicious food. Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi looked at each other, and the couple both laughed helplessly. Given the mother's temper, they would probably have to worry for several more days.
