Chapter 335 Men Are Not So Good, Women Are All So Good
Ji Ping and Tan Feng looked at him coldly from behind Princess Nanyang and the Crown Prince. The King of Nanyang suddenly lost all desire to fight. He lowered his head dejectedly, looking several years older.
King Nanyang said in a hoarse voice: "What does Lu Chenyang plan to do with me?"
The King of Nanyang finally showed some wisdom. He asked Lu Chenyang instead of the imperial court. The imperial court was now in name only, and Lu Chenyang was the real master of the Dagan.
Tan Feng was very satisfied with the Prince of Nanyang's understanding of the current situation. He said in a gentle voice, "It depends on whether the prince is willing to cooperate."
King Nanyang smiled bitterly and said, "I knew it all along. Lu Chenyang is a man with wicked ambitions. You all have been deceived by him! He is the greatest traitor to the world. Those who obey me prosper, while those who defy me perish. This is my fate today!"
The King of Nanyang was disheartened and in anger, he turned around, drew his guard's knife and was about to commit suicide.
Ji Ping was quick-witted and quick-handed, kicking his wrist. The King of Nanyang lost his strength and his weapon fell to the ground.
Someone nearby took him down.
The conflict on this point was quickly resolved. The Prince of Nanyang came forward, took over the army under the King of Nanyang, and surrendered to Lu Chenyang on behalf of the King of Nanyang.
The Nanyang Army behaved peacefully and submissively. Firstly, this was because the Nanyang Prince was legitimate, and it was only natural that the son should inherit the father's property. Secondly, they were unwilling to continue living in this isolated corner. The Nanyang Prince was already at the end of his rope, while Lu Chenyang was at the peak of his power. By joining Lu Chenyang, they had made a profit.
As for the King of Nanyang, he was taken into custody by his wife and son.
The Prince of Nanyang successfully took over the army of the Prince of Nanyang, and the Princess of Nanyang stopped asking for a divorce. She wanted to help her son take care of the Prince of Nanyang, worried that he would cause trouble again.
This couple, who have been separated for half their lives, have to continue to torture each other.
Ji Ping and Tan Feng brought the army back to report to Lu Chenyang.
Ji Ping still felt a lingering fear when he talked about this couple: "So, you have to be good to your wife, otherwise look at what happened to the King of Nanyang. Tsk tsk, it's miserable, really miserable."
Lu Chenyang glanced at him and said, "As a bachelor, there's really no need for you to worry about this kind of thing. If you're capable, go marry a girl."
Ever since Huai'an City was short of people, Lu Chenyang's hobby had been similar to Wang's: persuading those around him to get married and have children. The country needed children, and the country needed labor, so getting married was good, and everyone should get married, and then have more children.
Ji Ping said righteously, "Sir, how can you get married just for the sake of getting married? If you marry the wrong person, you'll end up with a lifelong relationship of resentment! If you don't choose someone you truly love, how can you spend your life together? You must choose someone who loves you, supports you, understands you, and connects with you, right? Otherwise, you'll grow tired of each other, and if you have another child, wouldn't that be a tragedy? Just like the Prince of Nanyang and the Princess of Nanyang, who clung to each other until their death! Sir, you're so wise and powerful, how could you make such a mistake?"
Lu Chenyang angrily said, "Mutual affection, mutual support, mutual understanding, and spiritual connection? How can you meet so many perfect people? Go out and look around. There's not even a single woman in the entire military camp. If you want to meet someone, you'd be in your seventies or eighties! How could there be a girl waiting for you?"
Ji Ping was speechless after being scolded by Lu Chenyang and remained silent in frustration.
When Lu Chenyang looked at Ji Ping, he understood how Wang felt about him.
Lu Chenyang waved his hand and said, "Alright, I don't have time for you to get married right now. I'll leave the Nanyang Army to you. We'll send troops in two days."
This soldier was handed over to Ji Ping to train the soldiers and tell them that they were now loyal to Lu Chenyang and that they should fight well on the battlefield. This sudden change of general would definitely make the soldiers feel disappointed, and the morale of the soldiers would affect the battle situation.
This was a tough job, and Ji Ping complained bitterly, but he still agreed to it.
Because he knew that if he went to educate them, he would eventually have to lead this team. Who wouldn't want to have more soldiers under his command?
The Prince of Nanyang may not be good at other things, but he is a master at leading troops. The soldiers under his command are elite and strong. Even when they were in a remote corner, they never neglected training. They are capable of fighting on the battlefield.
What matters now is to make them recognize Lu Chenyang as their master and pledge their loyalty to him. It is Lu Chenyang, not the court or the emperor.
But it was much easier than Ji Ping had imagined. The soldiers were very cooperative and even accepted this idea very obediently.
Although they were rivals, they also understood Lu Chenyang. For all of them, who could compare to Lu Chenyang? In terms of character and ability, Lu Chenyang was a lord that everyone would willingly follow.
When Ji Ping inquired and heard that they would also be part of the Lu family army in the future, the Nanyang army was very excited.
Ji Ping: "...Although we were rivals before, but..."
"But that's all in the past, we just have different positions. We will swear allegiance to Lord Lu until death!" said a Nanyang soldier with a firm look in his eyes.
Ji Ping: "..." He felt that this soldier recognized the adults more than he did.
Ji Ping suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Ji Ping asked cautiously again: "We were rivals before, and I may have hurt your brothers..."
"Lord Lu saved even more people!" Nanyang Jun said solemnly, "I have a brother who only has an elderly mother. I heard that Lord Lu took good care of her. No one bullied her, and someone even sent her food in winter. I also have family in Lingnan."
Although he had not received any news from his family, he could tell from what happened to his brother's mother that his family must be doing well.
All this is because of Lu Chenyang.
Lu Chenyang did not vent his anger on their families just because they were his opponents or because they had fought against his army. Lu Chenyang took good care of their families, and they wished they could just surrender to him.
Now that they finally have the chance, how could they not be dissatisfied?
Ji Ping walked away in a daze, then turned around and thought of his master Lu's outstanding personal charm, and couldn't help but straighten his chest.
Yes, the people he followed and was loyal to were so powerful that they easily captured his heart. There were thousands and thousands of people like him.
After Lu Chenyang took over the troops of the Nanyang Army, he ordered people to send the King of Nanyang and the Princess of Nanyang back to Lingnan.
As for the Prince of Nanyang, he stayed behind, and Lu Chenyang gave him to Ji Ping. The Prince of Nanyang had studied since childhood and had excellent literary talent. Lu Chenyang would never let such an outstanding talent go.
The presence of the Prince of Nanyang in the army can give the Nanyang Army a sense of belonging, so the Prince of Nanyang does some clerical work and other processing work.
The Prince of Nanyang... No, Zhang Heng was not quite used to his new identity. He used to be a well-fed and well-clothed prince. Even when he was wandering outside, he had never suffered any hardship and was well protected by his mother.
Now that he is in Ji Ping's hands, he is no different from a little white rabbit falling into the mouth of a big bad wolf.
Ji Ping… Ji Ping was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. Finally, someone was helping him with all that paperwork! As a general leading troops into battle, why did he have to calculate how long the rations would last? Why did he have to worry about the consumption of medicinal herbs? He couldn't do it!
Now he threw everything to Zhang Heng, and the look in his eyes was like a dog that had been hungry for three days seeing a meat bun.
Zhang Heng was forced into this job and was in a rush for a while, but... it was unexpectedly fulfilling.
Princess Nanyang was relieved. Before leaving, she went to see Lu Chenyang and said, "Sir, Heng'er is different from his father. He is filial and sensible, loyal and simple. He will be useful to you."
Princess Nanyang is more than willing to follow Lu Chenyang.
Princess Nanyang thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about Zhang Chi, sir. I will keep him in check."
When Lu Chenyang looked at her, it was as if he saw Wang. They were both just mothers worried about their children.
"Princess, don't worry. The prince is in the army. As long as he works hard, he will definitely have a place there." Lu Chenyang said in a gentle voice.
Princess Nanyang curled the corners of her lips and said, "I believe you, my lord." After that, she bowed seriously, her posture elegant and calm, showing the style of a princess.
But this gift was a mother's thanks, not a princess's.
Lu Chenyang watched her leave and smiled softly: "The men in the Nanyang Palace are not very good, but the women are all very good."
Zhang Heng stayed in the army.
