Chapter 146 Do you think he is a plague god?

Gao Ming nodded. "The Dongyi people have always admired you, sir. They will only send troops if you intervene."

It would be more accurate to say that the Dongyi people were making peace with Lu Chenyang rather than the Han people.

The peace treaty signed by the Dongyi people was entirely aimed at Lu Chenyang.

Only Lu Chenyang could give the Dongyi people what they wanted, and in recent years, all interactions between the Dongyi and the Han people had revolved around Lu Chenyang. Even for something as important as borrowing troops, Lu Chenyang had to step in.

Since the decision had been made, Lu Chenyang wrote a letter. After Yan Xing and Ji Ping left, Shu was now guarded by Tan Feng, and Cao Wenkai was guarding the six counties in Quzhou.

Lu Chenyang wrote a letter to Cao Wenkai, asking him to cooperate with Tan Feng and launch an attack on Quzhou ten days later, no matter what the situation in Lingnan was.

Lu Chenyang led 5,000 men and horses back to Lingnan overnight.

Lu Chenyang and his men met up with the Nanyang army outside the city gate, and another commotion ensued. Seeing this, Xu Hao, who was inside the city, immediately sent troops to greet and escort Lu Chenyang into the city.

As soon as Lu Chenyang came back, Xu Hao was so moved that his eyes filled with tears.

"Sir, you are finally back!" Xu Hao was so excited that he choked with sobs.

Great, great, Lu Chenyang is back. If the city is lost, it won't be his responsibility.

That’s great, that’s great, Lu Chenyang is back, the city will finally be safe, right?

Lu Chenyang: “…”

There's no need to be so excited. Your eyes are almost overflowing with the intention of making me take the blame.

Lu Chenyang asked: "What's the situation now?"

Xu Hao rattled off a string of numbers: "They launched several attacks. I only defended, but they had too many people. There weren't enough people inside the city!" He looked at Lu Chenyang hopefully, "How many troops did you bring with you this time? Are these the vanguard? When will the main force arrive?"

Lu Chenyang looked into his sparkling eyes and told him reluctantly, "There's no large army, only me."

Xu Hao: “???”

He was a commander after all, and he could tell at a glance that Lu Chenyang had brought back at most five thousand men. Adding the fifteen thousand or so in the city, how many were there outside? At least a hundred thousand.

Lu Chenyang added, "It's more than 100,000. If the King of Nanyang can't take the city after a long siege, I'm afraid he'll send more troops here. He's dreaming of using only 100,000 to attack Lingnan!"

Lu Chenyang was also able to mobilize troops. If the garrisons from all over the country were gathered together, he could at least gather 30,000 to 50,000 troops. But this number was not enough!

The five thousand that Lu Chenyang brought back was like giving it away for free.

Xu Hao couldn't help but say, "Sir, your safety is also important!" He thought for a moment and said, "Sir, you can't stay in the city anymore. You must return to Yanquan County as soon as possible."

Yanquan County has the largest number of troops in Lingnan, with a total of 20,000 people, which shows how much Lu Chenyang values Yanquan County.

Lu Chenyang said: "I have already written back, asking Li Dajun to lead troops to rescue us."

Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked, "What about Yanquan County?"

In Lingnan, Yanquan County is the most prosperous and wealthy county. Even though Lu Chenyang is rarely in Yanquan County now, Lingnan's policies are biased towards Yanquan County.

If the troops of Yanquan County were transferred, what would happen to Yanquan County? What if the King of Nanyang attacked Yanquan County?

Lu Chenyang said, "I'm just telling you, I'm leaving for Yanquan County soon. I'll be guarding Yanquan County."

Xu Hao was stunned for a moment, then his thoughts turned. If Lu Chenyang returned to Yanquan County, could he lure away the Nanyang King's army?

He is just a small figure and is not important. Lu Chenyang is important. If King Nanyang wants to fight, he should fight Lu Chenyang.

Xu Hao's eyes turned, and he said, "Yes, yes, it's safer for you to return to Yanquan County."

Lu Chenyang looked at him expressionlessly: "You think I'm a plague god, don't you?"

Xu Hao: “…” Is Lu Chenyang now so powerful that he can see through people’s minds?

Lu Chenyang snorted coldly. It’s not okay to turn against someone halfway!

Lu Chenyang was just passing by, told Xu Hao about the next deployment, and left quietly that day.
