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

Chapter 394 Rearing the Arms for War
The "Eight Kings Rebellion" lasted for a long time, but all the vassal kings were from the Murong royal family. Although they started to fight and cause chaos, they would not harm the people.

Therefore, Lu Hao did not send troops to destroy them, otherwise, Lu Hao would have sent troops long ago.

Maybe it was the pain of losing their children that caused the two princes to change their temperaments drastically, maybe it was to lure Lu Hao into taking the bait, or maybe it was because they didn't have much winter supplies in the middle of winter.

In short, this time, the two princes went out of their way and marched eastward, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.

Therefore, for a while, on the Qianzhong Great Plains, mourners filled the fields and poisoned all living beings. Countless people were brutally massacred, and their families were destroyed.

When the subjects of the empire encountered such a disaster, the empire's military aircraft would naturally react. In the past two days, Lu Hao had been in retreat again, which prevented the smooth flow of government orders.

The people complained and angrily criticized the empire for not sending troops to quell the rebellion. Therefore, Wu Qingyu and the ministers felt even more pressure.

"Prime Minister, send out troops and destroy these two beasts!"

Xuanyuan Dingyuan said loudly.

"Prime Minister, please ask the Prime Minister to send troops!"

"I also beg the Prime Minister to send troops!"

"The lower officials seconded the proposal!"

"..."

Several ministers unanimously requested to send troops.

"Since all your lords think that these two beasts should be destroyed, I will lead an army to attack these two beasts tomorrow!"

Lu Hao readily agreed.

Until now, Lu Hao finally understood why the two princes had the confidence to lure him out?
The empire could not withstand the pressure and blow of the burning, killing and looting along the way.

Lu Hao also didn't expect that the two princes suddenly changed their demeanor and became so ruthless and crazy.

The only good thing is that Heisen City and Gissen City are now under severe cold. Juli Khan gave up the attack and returned to Liaoyang City to escape the cold.

Now it seems that Hesse City and Gissen City are relatively safe, so it might not be a bad idea to kill the two princes first.

Xuanyuan Lingyu and Liu Ruxu got the news from Wu Qingyu and learned that Lu Hao had left the customs, and hurried towards the military aircraft office.

The two of them also knew that Lu Hao would definitely send troops, so they came to accept the latest mission.

"Meet the Prime Minister!"

Xuanyuan Lingyu and Liu Rushu knelt down on one knee at the same time.

"Two generals, I was about to summon you, so you came. You came at the right time."

Lu Hao waved his hand, signaling the two of them to get up.

"When we sisters learned that the Prime Minister was out of confinement, we came immediately."

Xuanyuan Lingyu responded with a smile.

"Prime Minister, are you going to send troops to attack those two beasts?"

Liu Ruxu asked anxiously.

"Yes."

Lu Hao responded coldly.

"Master Prime Minister, give the order!"

The two beautiful generals asked for orders at the same time.

"Master Wu, where are the two princes now?"

Lu Hao turned to look at the sand table on the table with murderous intent.

"Prime Minister, these two beasts are almost at Xie Jiapo, right here..." Wu Qingyu pointed at the map and responded loudly.

"General Zhenguo, General Dingguo, you go back overnight and set off at noon tomorrow. The target is Xie Jiapo!"

Lu Hao ordered with a sneer.

"The last general takes orders!"

The two beautiful generals knelt down on one knee and took the order to leave.

The two main legions of the Lu Jiajun's new army attacked, which was more than enough to deal with the [-] troops of the two princes.

However, if the two retreat to Hangu Pass, the situation will be different.

Hangu Pass, known as the first pass in the world, cannot be captured with rifles. At least it must be equipped with cannons and explosive charges.

In Hengyang City now, although the productivity of cannons and explosive packs is not very high, and the reserves are not very large, it should not be a problem to capture Hangu Pass.

Perhaps after learning that Lu Hao had left the border, many people came one after another, obviously concerned about whether Lu Hao would send troops or not?
The first ones to arrive were Tantai Mingyue and Tantai Xiyao, mother and daughter. One of them was the assistant minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and the other was Lu Hao's companion who joined the army.

Following closely behind were Situ Tianyin and Liu Rufeng, who came from Hengyang City.

Knowing that Lu Hao was going to send troops to attack the two princes, everyone supported them. From this point of view, the actions of the two princes that harmed the country and the people have touched everyone's conscience and bottom line.

Therefore, Lu Hao must find a way to kill these two people during this expedition, and he will never let these two scourges remain.

However, Lu Hao knew very well in his heart that the two princes were just trying to lure the snake out of the hole. They would definitely not fight him, but would turn around and return to Hangu Pass.

They thought they could rely on the high wall of Hangu Pass to block Lu Hao's new army, and then take the opportunity to kill the Lu family's army in one fell swoop.

And Lu Hao was already ready to give them a big surprise.

The two main armies set off for the expedition, and Situ Tianyin, as the general of the auxiliary country, was fully responsible for logistics supplies and food.

Liu Rufeng was in charge of Hengyang City and started working overtime overnight to produce cannons and explosive packs. He was also responsible for the security of the entire Hengyang City to prevent the enemy from conducting secret espionage activities against Chengyang City.

Ever since the theft planned by Yan Xi, Lu Hao was worried that the secrets of Hengyang City would be leaked. Therefore, it was very important for Liu Rufeng to stay and be responsible for the security of Hengyang City.

Of course, now Yan Xi stays with Liu Rufeng, firstly to protect her, and secondly to give this girl a place to stay.

Lu Hao knew very well that Liu Mu would definitely send someone to assassinate Yan Xi. Therefore, with Liu Rufeng, a ninth-level master, and a large number of gunmen guarding him, as long as the killer dared to come, he would definitely die.

The only problem now is that one hundred thousand cavalry led by Dong Xiaowan's younger brother Dong Xiaojun are still in Liuyang City to prevent the prisoners of the Sui Empire from rebelling.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the 20 captives were released in four phases. All the captives would not be released until the Sui Empire had delivered all strategic supplies.

Fortunately, all the troops from Yanshan Camp have been withdrawn. However, these troops are basically infantry. In this season of ice and snow, their movement speed is too slow.

Now it seems that the expansion of the new army is imminent, but it is still during the Chinese New Year, so the time may have to be postponed.

To be honest, if they had not guessed that Lu Hao would definitely send troops, Xuanyuan Lingyu and Liu Ruxu would not have informed the soldiers to return to the team in advance.

It is impossible to complete the entire army in one day.

The two main legions had horses, so they could march very quickly and pursue the enemy easily.

However, the weather is freezing now, which greatly affects the marching speed. It is estimated that it will take at least three days to reach Xiejiapo.

Of course, Lu Hao was sure that the two princes would not wait for them at Xiejiapo, but would retreat quietly to Hangu Pass.

Therefore, Lu Hao was not in a hurry. He decided to set off on the last day, catch up with the two main armies, and then command the siege battle to defeat Hangu Pass in one fell swoop.

Because he had warned Chen Lin a long time ago that sooner or later he would lead his army to conquer Hangu Pass. However, this old guy was Chen Yuhuan's father, and Chen Yuhuan was still pregnant with his child.

So defeating Hangu Pass is not a problem. The problem now is that it is impossible for me to kill this cheap father-in-law, right?

Headache!It really gives me a headache!
