Seeing Lu Jianxing so agitated and shouting that Liu Wei was in danger, Tian Kai, Wang Fangyi, Yan Da, Murong Ping and others were greatly alarmed.
"Brother Lu, what's going on? Come quickly!"
"The safety of our lord is at stake, affecting tens of thousands of soldiers and even countless civilians in Youzhou, Hetao, and Hexi. We must not be careless."
Tian Kai immediately said with a gloomy expression.
Liu Wei wanted to go to Zhongshan Kingdom alone, and everyone objected. However, Liu Wei was very assertive and would not allow Tian Kai and the others to object.
Tian Kai considered that south of Zhongshan State was Changshan State, where the governor of Changshan State, Gao Lan, was located.
Gao Lan has already submitted to Liu Wei.
To the east lies Mo County, where Zhang He, another famous general from Hebei whom Liu Wei had subdued, is located.
In case Liu Wei encounters any danger, he can mobilize troops to his advantage whether the enemy goes east or south.
Moreover, Liu Wei himself was exceptionally skilled, instantly killing the Wuhuan general Dun Ta with a single strike on the battlefield, and even toying with the fierce general Zhang Fei.
Unless facing a very powerful enemy, Liu Wei will not face any threat on his journey to Zhongshan.
But Lu Jianxing reported that Liu Wei was in danger, which made Tian Kai sweat profusely.
"Don't you remember that our lord also went to Wuji Zhen Family Manor alone on horseback before? He must be going there this time too!"
"As for why he disguised himself, we dare not speculate. But the Zhen family village has already been targeted by Yuan Shao of Ji Province. His second son, Yuan Xi, has visited the village repeatedly, wanting to marry the youngest daughter of the Zhen family!"
"We received definite intelligence that the Zhen family did not agree to the marriage, so Yuan Xi gathered troops to forcibly seize the person!"
Lu Jianxing stated succinctly.
hiss!
Everyone gasped. Wang Fangyi looked at Tian Kai and said, "Tian, the magistrate has appointed you to oversee the affairs of the Zhenbei General's Mansion. You will remain here to oversee the matter!"
"Our guard battalion should immediately abandon our leave and rush to protect our lord."
Yan Dadao: "We, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, don't need to take a break anymore; we can get into work mode at any time!"
"Me too!" Murong Ping, having been by Liu Wei's side, had probably heard Zhang Fei's catchphrase many times, and blurted it out in his haste.
After the three finished speaking, they asked Lu Jianxing to lead the way and prepared to leave the camp.
"No!" Tian Kai roared, "Stop right there, all of you!"
"Registration Officer Tian, you...you yelled at us?" The three looked on in astonishment.
Tian Kai was merely a registrar in the general's mansion; what right did he have to be so arrogant towards them?
"My lord just instructed me that, apart from the Liaodong war and matters concerning Commandant Zhao which require his approval, I will make all other decisions regarding Youzhou for the time being!"
Tian Kai said with a stern face, "Do you mean you are disregarding our lord's orders?"
"this..."
The three men were rough and uncouth warriors, and they were no match for scholars in arguing, but they were stubborn and insisted, "Registrant Tian, are you not concerned about the safety of our lord?"
"As our lord's personal guards, even if he later punishes us for disobeying orders, we will still protect him!"
“Registrar Tian, we advise you not to meddle in other people’s business.”
"Who said I don't care about the safety of my lord?"
Tian Kai said angrily, "I've only thought of a perfect solution, I just haven't had a chance to say it yet!"
"So that's how it is! Haha, we misunderstood Registrar Tian! Please tell us, please tell us!"
The three of them hurriedly apologized.
"My lord has his reasons for going to Zhen Family Village alone! And it is of great importance to him."
“If you go over there so openly, you will definitely ruin our lord’s plans.”
"Therefore, you should select a few elite soldiers to disguise themselves and follow the lord. They need not show themselves unless necessary."
Tian Kai looked calm and composed.
"You should have said so earlier! No problem at all. Commander Yan and I will each take three to five men in disguise and go there," Wang Fangyi replied immediately.
"Commander Lu will go with you. I will issue another transfer order, which you will use to mobilize the troops of Changshan Kingdom and Moxian!"
Immediately, Tian Kai quickly wrote another order from the Zhenbei General's Office and affixed its seal.
After Liu Wei left, he naturally handed over the seal of the General Who Guards the North to Tian Kai for safekeeping.
"You're too kind, Registrar Tian! Let's set off now!"
Wang Fangyi and the other two were deeply impressed by Tian Kai's meticulous arrangements.
"I'm going to protect my sugar daddy too!" Murong Ping wasn't going to be left behind.
"You can just stay in Ji County and live a carefree life!" Yan Da flatly refused.
Murong Ping asked in bewilderment, "Why?"
"Why? It's not that I'm targeting you, but as a foreigner, no matter how well you disguise yourself, people can tell you're different at a glance!"
After Wang Fangyi finished speaking, he turned and left.
......
"Haha, have you heard? The great victory at Youzhou!"
"Your Highness, our Zhen family's future son-in-law is strategizing in Fanyang. Together with Governor Liu, tens of thousands of troops launched an attack from all directions, and the 200,000 rebels under the walls of Ji County fled in less than a day!"
"Corpses lay strewn across the fields, rivers of blood flowed, and an army of two hundred thousand was wiped out. The Han prince was wise and mighty, the rebellion in Youzhou has been quelled, and the Hu people fled in panic."
"Youzhou has been recovered!"
In Zhenjiazhuang, Wuji County, Zhongshan State.
A handsome middle-aged man was dancing and gesturing wildly, more excited than if he had become emperor.
He was a businessman by trade and had excellent connections.
As soon as the battle in Youzhou ended, he learned of the situation and couldn't wait to announce the good news to his family.
Madam Zhen, Zhen Yao, and Zhen Mi's four older sisters were all beaming with joy.
The four older sisters knew that the prince of the Han Dynasty and the son of the governor would each choose one of them to marry, and they wondered which sister was so lucky!
