"Of course you listen to me!"
Ling Mo answered without hesitation, "The military token is in my hand!"
In fact, the prefect and the general are not on the same system.
The prefect was a civil official, and the commander was a military officer, both of whom were appointed directly by the imperial court.
However, the situation on the border is different. The authority of the King of Zhenxi here is even stronger than that of the imperial court!
Whoever the King of Zhenxi appoints as the prefect can be the prefect, and whoever he tells to leave has to leave.
As a provincial governor, he has this right.
But then again, this is also the reason why the empress of the court gave up power.
The empress trusts the King of Zhenxi very much.
If he didn't trust him, he wouldn't have given him an army of hundreds of thousands to guard the border fortress!
Therefore, strictly speaking, Prefect Zhang Tao and Ling Mo are both from the imperial court, but they are also the King of Zhenxi's men.
And Zhang Tao is Ling Mo's boss.
That's why Chen Xuan asked his soldiers whether they should listen to him or Zhang Tao.
In fact, he neither listened to Ling Mo nor Zhang Tao, but listened to Hu Fu!
The tiger talisman of the Barbarian City soldiers is in Ling Mo's hands!
"Very good, then go and mobilize the troops now, surround the governor's mansion, Chen's mansion, and Qin's mansion. Tonight, I will change the sky of Barbarian City!"
Chen Xuan's eyes flickered. He had made up his mind that if he was going to do it, he was going to do it big!
"Are you going to do it now?"
Ling Mo was a little stunned.
He originally thought that Chen Xuan would endure for a while and secretly develop his own power.
What he didn't expect was that Chen Xuan couldn't bear it at all!
I’m going to fuck the governor tonight!
"Of course, I have you under my command, and you have eight thousand soldiers. Why should I be patient?"
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, with an extremely confident look on his face.
Tonight, he will capture his first city!
However, Ling Mo hesitated and said in a deep voice: "It is easy to take over the prefectural governor's mansion, but if the news leaks out, whether it is spread to the court or the King of Zhenxi, we will be labeled as traitors."
"By then, King Zhenxi will definitely send troops to attack us."
"Our base is only this small barbarian city, which can't withstand the army of the King of Zhenxi!"
He was worried that he would be labeled a traitor.
Chen Xuan suddenly showed a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but said: "We are just controlling the prefectural government, not rebelling."
"Barbarian city. It's the barbarian city of the Dagan Dynasty, the barbarian city of the King of Zhenxi!"
"We are all subjects of the Dagan Dynasty. We do whatever the court tells us to do. Why would the court punish us for no reason?"
Hearing this, Ling Mo was stunned and couldn't help but said: "Aren't you going to rebel?"
Chen Xuan looked puzzled: "Who said I was going to rebel? I was just cleaning up a bad guy, an unscrupulous corrupt official who exploited the people!"
"Anyway, let's not tell them for now. The imperial court and the King of Zhenxi don't know either, but there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. They will know it sooner or later."
"What does it matter if we know? We just need to be loyal to the court. The court wants capable people who can help them with their work, not idiots like Zhang Tao who just eat and do nothing."
"Besides, I'm not going to kill Zhang Tao, nor am I going to be the governor."
"If the court really asks about this, just say that it was you, Ling Mo, who couldn't stand Zhang Tao's oppression of the people, so you joined forces with me to suppress Zhang Tao."
"During this period of time, I will manage Barbarian City well and give it a new lease of life."
"The court has seen my ability. Instead of holding me accountable, they should reward me. Maybe they will even give me the position of governor of Mancheng."
Chen Xuan laughed as he spoke.
He discovered that Ling Mo had a very serious misunderstanding, which was that he mistakenly thought that Chen Xuan was going to rebel.
Little did he know that Chen Xuan must be out of his mind to do such a thing.
He has no one to help him and no money to help him. Isn't it nice for him to rely on the court for food?
“You…”
Ling Mo's eyes gradually widened, and suddenly he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
The reason why he joined Chen Xuan was that he hesitated for several days and couldn't make up his mind.
Isn't it because I subconsciously put Chen Xuan in the ranks of ***?
It turns out now that Chen Xuan is not a *** at all!
Damn it, he is a loyal and patriotic person!
Even Li Xiuning and the others were stunned.
Because their previous thoughts were almost exactly the same as Ling Mo's.
When Chen Xuan arrived in Mancheng, he opposed the prefect. Wasn't this a manifestation of his dissatisfaction with the court?
"Ling Mo, you don't think that because I'm dealing with the governor Zhang Tao, I'm someone who wants to rebel, right? Then I can only say that you think too much. Zhang Tao cannot represent the court."
Chen Xuan shook his head. "Besides, my current ability is nothing compared to that of the imperial court. Only a fool would go against the imperial court."
"I only go against those who go against me!"
"To put it bluntly, if Zhang Tao doesn't provoke me, I will guard my own piece of land and won't touch him. In fact, if we like each other, we will even cooperate together."
"What a pity! He insists on going against me. I have no choice but to deal with him."
In fact, according to Chen Xuan's original plan, after arriving in Mancheng, he would get along well with the Chen family, grow up slowly, have a wife and children, and make steady progress.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Mancheng, the Chen family gave him trouble.
After that, a series of events happened, which directly disrupted Chen Xuan's plans.
In addition, there was chaos in the Barbarian City and the people were living in misery, so Chen Xuan began to think of taking action against Zhang Tao.
If he wants to transform the Barbarian City, he must gain absolute power.
And this right is only possessed by the prefect. What if he doesn't give it to us?
Then we can only rob it!
"I see."
Ling Mo felt secretly ashamed.
Because Chen Xuan asked him to surrender before, Ling Mo always regarded Chen Xuan as the kind of person who wanted to rebel.
If Chen Xuan had not given so much that Ling Mo was tempted, he would have reported it to the King of Zhennan long ago.
Now that he knew Chen Xuan had no intention of rebelling, he realized that he had been overthinking.
Little did people know that Chen Xuan had no intention of rebelling because he simply did not have the strength to do such a daydreaming thing.
If he had hundreds of thousands of troops...
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and do as I just ordered. Take control of the prefectural government, the Qin family, and the Chen family. Bring them all to the prefectural government and wait for my trial."
Chen Xuan smiled and spoke.
Ling Mo nodded and said, "It takes time to mobilize the troops. Give me an hour. After an hour, you come directly to the governor's mansion!"
After saying that, he left directly. He came in by climbing over the wall, and left through the main door openly.
