Chapter 111: Dispatching Troops
Yan Xing's eyes were deep. He felt that the best thing he had done was to become an ally of Lu Chenyang instead of an opponent.
He got to the point almost immediately.
Yan Xingdao said, "Because I told him that Marquis Dingyuan lied about military intelligence. He has already lost five battles in a row in the northwest."
Lu Chenyang suddenly realized that the King of Nanyang knew that the war in the northwest was not going well, and Emperor Qianyuan certainly did not have extra troops to attack him. He originally occupied an advantageous terrain, and the entire area south of Shu had almost become his vegetable garden.
If he sends troops at this time, the imperial court will have no army that can compete with him, and he can even divide the world with Emperor Qianyuan!
How could the King of Nanyang not be tempted by such a great temptation? This was almost a battle that was sure to win.
Lu Chenyang gave Yan Xing a thumbs up: "Great!"
He knew that it was impossible for the Zhenguogong Mansion to be defeated so easily. How could Yan Xing, the only child of the Zhenguogong Mansion, be exiled here?
Yan Xing looked at him with admiration, but thought in his heart that he was the one who should be admired.
In this plan, King Nanyang is the constant, while Lu Chenyang is the variable.
Lu Chenyang gave this plan a perfect ending, and Lingnan became the cornerstone for their new beginning.
Lu Chenyang developed Lingnan so well that they had the confidence to continue recruiting soldiers.
It doesn't matter if the military power is handed over, they can recruit new soldiers.
An army of more than 200,000 is their greatest confidence.
These more than 200,000 soldiers were almost all trained by him, and their combat effectiveness is beyond doubt.
Yan Xing looked at Lu Chenyang: "Master Lu, are you mocking me? Who dares to claim to be smart in front of Master Lu?"
Lu Chenyang raised his eyebrows: "The prince praised me?"
Yan Xing hummed and said, "Don't hold it in, just laugh."
Then Lu Chenyang smiled, brightly and brilliantly.
Lu Chenyang possessed a unique quality. He was now a man of great power, his words were final in Lingnan. He possessed the aura of a superior, yet he also retained a youthful innocence.
These two completely opposite characteristics appear in one person at the same time, and there is no sense of incongruity at all.
Yan Xing came this time to plan the position of governor for Lu Chenyang.
Yan Xing said, "You have to let the emperor know your strength, otherwise he won't dare to use you."
Lu Chenyang thought for a moment and said, "Then let the emperor's spies remind him that we can have strength, but not too much."
He has to reassure the emperor.
Only Yan Xing can do this.
Emperor Qianyuan then received the news that Lu Chenyang cared about the people and took in many people who had fled from Shu. Now he had an army of 100,000.
Although these 100,000 troops cannot fight against the King of Nanyang, they are the only troops that Emperor Qianyuan can mobilize at present.
Emperor Qianyuan did not expect that Lu Chenyang had such ability to take in so many refugees.
After all, he was the top scorer in the imperial examination with a score of six, so he was indeed a capable person. It was a pity that he was too straightforward.
However, only with such an upright character could he take in refugees.
Lu Chenyang himself has an upright and stupid temperament.
In the eyes of Emperor Qianyuan, people like Lu Chenyang are very easy to control.
A scholar, so stupid from reading that he values loyalty to the emperor and love for the people. He's the kind of minister who would risk his life to advise the emperor. To be honest, emperors hate this kind of minister.
But there is one advantage, that is, most of these ministers are loyal to the emperor and they will not have any other bad intentions.
All they seek in their lives is to bring benefits to the people, and they are honest, honest and fair.
During his many years as emperor, Emperor Qianyuan had met many ministers like him. They held themselves to this standard, demanding that the emperor be a diligent, hardworking old ox, devoting themselves wholeheartedly to the country and its people. Even when treated unfairly, such people would not harbor rebellious tendencies.
Emperor Qianyuan felt that Lu Chenyang was such a person.
So, when Emperor Qianyuan received the news, he made a decision quickly. In fact, he had no other choice.
Emperor Qianyuan immediately issued an order to send Yan Yuanjie back to Beijing for trial, and Lu Chenyang completed the epic leap from county magistrate to governor.
One more thing to say: if it were normal times, the ministers would definitely object, and promotions would not be made this way. But now it is different. The Prince of Nanyang is rebelling, and this Lingnan Governor is obviously there to clean up the mess, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to win.
Whoever wants to be the boss can be the boss. There is no need for them to seek death just for promotion.
It would be great to have a ready-made Lu Chenyang to take the blame.
The imperial edict was sent to Lingnan at full speed.
Emperor Qianyuan sent people to Lingnan to announce the decree. In order to save time, he sent a eunuch to announce the decree and two guards to rush to Lingnan at full speed.
While they were still on the road, Lu Chenyang had already sent troops to fight several battles with King Nanyang.
Lu Chenyang sent troops first in the name of capturing bandits. He personally served as the commander-in-chief and led an army of 1.5 million to set out for Shu.
