Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 343 The ambition to serve the country
The Ministry of Personnel controls the appointment, assessment, promotion, and promotion of officials in the empire, and these officials are responsible for managing government affairs at all levels of the empire.

These people are the core of the empire and the soul of the empire.

Lu Hao made strict selections in order to be able to manage the imperial government affairs well.

As for those generals with high martial arts skills, Lu Hao naturally sent them to Liu Rufeng, and then reused them after inspection.

"My lords, the empire is in a troubled time. The vassal kings from all over the country have raised armies and rebelled. King Beiyuan also colluded with King Lanling and took the opportunity to send his troops south to compete with the original prime minister at Longjiawan..."

"However, the more than 30 troops of Liu Mu and King Lanling have been wiped out by the truth, and the two of them also fled..."

"The coalition forces of King Huainan, Prince Hao and King Wei have fled to Hangu Pass, and they probably want to join Chen Lin..."

"Now in the eastern part of the empire, Juli Khan of the Eastern Turks has captured Liaoyang City, and Xue Yue, the general who conquered the east, is counterattacking Liaoyang City..."

Lu Hao roughly told the newly selected adults about the situation in the empire.

"Prime Minister, Cao Ming is willing to go to the front line to assist General Xue Yue in attacking Liaoyang City."

A man stood up from the table.

"Please tell me, Prime Minister, Wang Rui is also willing to go!"

Another person stood up.

"Master Prime Minister, we are also willing to go!"

One after another, people came forward.

However, most of these people were military attachés, and Lu Hao originally planned to send them to Yanshan Camp to receive training from Liu Rufeng.

"My lords, I am deeply gratified that you are patriotic and have the ambition to serve your country. However, you still need to experience and practice, starting with centurions or school captains..."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

In fact, it is good to start as a centurion. Once you perform meritorious service, you can be promoted to a captain of thousands or even a general.

As for civil servants, they usually start as county magistrates, and then they have the opportunity to be promoted after making meritorious services.

Lu Hao did not want to encourage others, but hoped that all the newly selected adults would get good training opportunities.

"My lords, I propose that we raise a toast to the Prime Minister!"

Xu Liting picked up the wine glass.

"Respect the prime minister!"

The crowd raised their cups.

"My lords, please drink this cup together!"

Lu Hao also raised a toast to welcome him.

……

Hangu Pass.

Flags were fluttering on the city wall, and there were many swords and soldiers. The soldiers were filled with murderous intent, and there was a chilling atmosphere.

Chen Lin stood on the city wall, looking at King Huainan, Prince Hao and King Wei below, with neither joy nor sadness on his face.

The three princes have been standing at the city gate for more than an hour.

"Marshal, the three of us want to talk to Mr. Marshal."

King Huainan said loudly.

"Three princes, do you think there is anything worth talking about?"

Chen Lin asked calmly.

"Master Marshal, the treacherous prime minister Lu Hao is now in control of the government in the capital, and you have been relieved of your post as marshal. Naturally, we hope to join forces with Mr. Marshal to deal with that villain Lu Hao."

King Huainan responded loudly.

"The empire removes me from my post. That is my business. Do you think I will cooperate with you rabble?"

Chen Lin sneered.

Of course, he sent people to take pity on King Lanling and wanted to attack Liu Mu. Unexpectedly, King Lanling betrayed him and instead teamed up with Liu Mu to ambush him.

Otherwise, with his strength, how could he fall into Liu Mu's trap? Not only did he lose his troops, but he was also seriously injured.

This matter can be said to be painful in his heart.

Therefore, he was not very interested in the [-] troops brought by the three men.

"Marshal, we now have an army of [-]. Once we join, Marshal will be able to challenge Lu Hao."

King Huainan responded with a smile.

"No, I'm not interested."

Chen Lin decisively refused.

"Marshal, there are many things that we need to sit down and discuss in detail. I wonder if you can let us enter the city first?" Prince Hao interjected and asked.

"You are not welcome here!"

Chen Lin waved his hand, signaling to get out of here.

"Marshal, that traitor Lu Hao will come to deal with you soon. Only by uniting can we overcome this difficulty together!"

King Huainan persuaded again.

"Yes, Lord Marshal, I believe that Lord Marshal doesn't understand the principle of lips dying and teeth falling cold, right?"

Prince Hao agreed with a smile.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold? I only know that you lords like to betray your trust!"

Chen Lin looked very angry.

After all, he originally wanted to cooperate with King Lanling, but was betrayed instead, causing him to lose his troops and himself to be seriously injured.

Although victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, the feeling of being betrayed still makes him unable to let go for a long time.

"Marshal, if we come to seek refuge with you, we will naturally have a stepping stone to knock on. Come and bring us here!"

King Huainan shouted loudly.

Behind him, several soldiers escorted a disheveled guy out.

"Lanling King!"

Chen Lin recognized this person immediately.

"Exactly!"

The king of Huainan was very angry.

"Come on, open the city gate!"

Chen Lin ordered loudly.

Just as the three princes thought, Prince Lanling became their stepping stone and also pinched Chen Lin's weakness.

"King Huainan, you three despicable villains actually dare to betray me. You are the sinners of our Murong Royal Family!"

King Lanling cursed angrily.

"Betrayed you? Didn't you betray the Marshal? This is called tit for tat!"

On the contrary, King Huainan was a little complacent.

If King Lanling hadn't come to seek refuge with them, how could the three guys have come to seek refuge with Chen Lin?How could Chen Lin take them in?
It's a pity that those who betray others will only end up being betrayed by others.

Chen Lin was not a fool either. Although he opened the city gate, he only let three princes in, and only with some personal guards.

If Wu Wan's army enters Hangu Pass and there is a rebellion, Chen Lin does not have that many troops to suppress it now.

Although General Pingxi voluntarily surrendered to Chen Lin, most of the troops were still stationed at the border to prevent the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu from invading the border.

Bang!
King Lanling was punched in the chest by Chen Lin.

Wow!
King Lanling spurted out a mouthful of blood and probably lost half his life.

"Marshal, if you killed such a villain so quickly, wouldn't you have given him an advantage?"

King Huainan said loudly.

"Then King Huainan means..."

Chen Lin's eyes were red and he asked coldly.

"It's very simple. Knife after knife will kill this bastard and make his life worse than death!"

King Huainan said coldly.

"Well, the prince's idea is good. Come here, tie him up, and give me a knife to this despicable Ling Chi!"

Chen Lin had a ferocious face and ordered loudly.

Two soldiers stepped out from the crowd, picked up their knives and prepared for action.

"King Huainan, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"

King Lanling's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and roared.

"Prince Lanling, if you dare to speak harshly when you are about to die, then let me give you a ride!"

The murderous intention of the King of Huainan emerged.

I saw him walking over, grabbing the short knife from a soldier's hand, and stabbing him with his backhand.
