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

Chapter 414 The talent of commanding troops
"General Wu has guarded the border for so many years and has been loyal to the empire. For the sake of the queen and the father-in-law, I am willing to give you another chance to change your ways..."

"From today on, you will go back and guard the border. Don't have any second thoughts, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"

Lu Hao had given the Queen and Chen Lin enough face.

"Thank you, Master Xiang!"

Wu Cangui quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

"Okay, after you go back, you should pay close attention to the movements of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu, because after the truth has been learned, they seem to be uniting to attack the Great Yan Empire."

Lu Hao said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, the general will definitely guard the western border."

General Wu responded loudly.

The Great Yan Empire continued to have internal strife. The Great Sui Empire invaded from the south, and the Eastern Turks from the north also captured Liaoyang City. When the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu saw this, they felt that an opportunity had come and wanted to get a share of the pie.

Therefore, many people in the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu were working together, hoping to unite to invade the western border of the Dayan Empire and carve up the territory of the Dayan Empire.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Sui Empire was actually defeated and paid war reparations and a large amount of war preparation materials.

This incident was a big blow to the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu, but Juli Khan of the Eastern Turks actually captured Liaoyang City, and also killed Xue Yue, the general of the Eastern Conquest, in the Battle of Hulu Valley.

Therefore, after hearing the news, not only many people in the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu had ideas, but also Baili Tiance in the north wanted to send his troops south.

Fortunately, Liu Mu is in charge in the north. If you want to go south, you must unite with Liu Mu.

Baili Tiance sent people to contact Liu Mu several times and promised many benefits, but Liu Mu still did not relent.

After all, if he invites foreign invasion, he will be the sinner of the Great Yan Empire, and he does not dare to agree casually.

However, Baili Tiance was confident that under coercion and inducement, Liu Mu would eventually agree to cooperate with him.

Liu Mu's situation was completely different from Chen Lin's, and he was not protected by the Queen. Once Lu Hao sent his troops north, he would be very passive.

Especially after learning that Hangu Pass had been captured by Lu Hao, Liu Mu felt a chill in his chest and was frightened all day long.

Fortunately, I heard that Chen Lin took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender under the Queen's advice. Otherwise, Liu Mu would have been so frightened that he would have been unable to sleep at night.

After Hangu Pass was captured, this important stronghold had to be garrisoned, and the garrison was a bit of a headache again.

In the city lord's palace, Lu Hao held an enlarged meeting of the Lu Family Army, and many mid-level generals such as generals, generals, and captains came.

Of course, the first is to celebrate the victory, and the second is to determine the Lu Jiajun's next move.

If he sends his troops north, he will definitely fight Liu Mu, and there will be Baili Tiance who is eyeing him.

According to the previous plan, Lu Hao would return to the Imperial Capital, start from the Imperial Capital, go east along the Qianyuan River, and then go north to support Heisen City and Gissen City to deal with Juli Khan of the Eastern Turks.

There were two rows of seats in the city lord's palace, with Lu Hao and Queen Chen Yuhuan sitting high on the middle seat.

On the left are three female generals: Tantai Xiyao, Nangong Ruoxue, Xuanyuan Lingyu, Liu Ruxu, and Situ Tianyin, as well as a group of generals.

On the right are a few generals including Chen Lin and Qi Hongyan, who are also die-hard supporters of Chen Lin.

Although he was a little unhappy, he had to admit that they were able to survive because Chen Lin accepted the queen's persuasion to surrender. Otherwise, they might all have died in the battle.

"Empress, officers and men, the Lu Army has captured Hangu Pass. Tonight, I will host a banquet in honor of all the officers and men..."

Lu Hao delivered a simple speech.

The banquet began, and everyone ate and drank happily.

Chen Yuhuan was pregnant and did not drink or move around. According to Lu Hao, she was very tired today and was worried that she was exhausted.

All the soldiers came to toast one after another, but Lu Hao accepted them all, so he was a little drunk.

"Prime Minister, I have more than a dozen generals under my command, all of whom are capable of commanding troops. I hope they can be put to good use by the Prime Minister."

After Chen Lin finished his toast, he pulled Lu Hao and whispered.

"It's not that I don't want to be reused. As you know, I am also worried that someone will stab me in the back. When the time comes, I will..."

Lu Hao hesitated to speak.

"Prime Minister, there is absolutely no problem with loyalty. They used to follow the old minister. As long as the Prime Minister is willing to accept them, they will only be loyal to the Prime Minister in the future." Chen Lin assured.

"how many people?"

Lu Hao asked.

"These are the generals who are willing to follow the Prime Minister. Do you think you can accept them?"

Chen Lin took out a list and handed it to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao took it and took a look. There were more than a dozen names on the list. He couldn't help but read: "Qi Hongyan? Is this a woman?"

"Prime Minister, the red-haired one is Qi Hongyan. She is also one of the four powerful generals under the old minister. She is nicknamed the 'red-haired woman'. She is brave and good at fighting..."

Chen Lin quickly introduced in detail.

Lu Hao took a quick look and saw that Qi Hongyan, about 30 years old, was drinking with Xuanyuan Lingyu and Liu Rushu.

It can be seen that this "red-haired girl" looks gentle and is definitely a hero among women.

"Master Xiang, the loyalty of the person recommended to you by your father will naturally be no problem. Why are you still hesitating?"

Chen Yuhuan interrupted.

"Let's see, I will talk to them alone later to see if they are willing to follow me?"

Lu Hao did not refuse, but took the list into his arms.

"The Prime Minister can accept them, and I have given them an explanation. They want to fight with me for the rest of their lives, but I have not given them anything. I am really ashamed of the soldiers!"

Chen Lin was filled with emotions.

"There is no need to worry about this. As long as you follow the truth, I guarantee that they will all make great achievements and be famous in history!"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Will the Prime Minister really give the soldiers the opportunity to make meritorious deeds? I see that you want to make meritorious deeds yourself and be famous in history, right?"

Chen Yuhuan pursed his lips and joked.

"How could it be? The Prime Minister will definitely gradually delegate power. This time he personally led the army to attack, not because this is the Hangu Pass, the first pass in the world."

Lu Hao explained with a smile.

"Prime Minister, I can't thank you enough for your thoughtfulness!"

Chen Lin bowed solemnly.

"Absolutely not!"

Lu Hao quickly stopped him, smiled bitterly in a low voice, and said, "You are my father-in-law! How dare I ask you to salute?"

"You brat, I'll leave my daughter to you. Treat Yuhuan well from now on and don't wrong her!"

Chen Lin looked at his daughter with doting expression on his face.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely treat Yuhuan well."

Lu Hao assured with a smile.

"Father, he doesn't dare to bully me. I am the Queen."

Chen Yuhuan smiled shyly and was confident.

"Silly boy, now that the Murong royal family has declined, Lu Hao will replace it sooner or later. However, your identity is the former queen, which is a bit embarrassing."

Chen Lin approached his daughter and whispered.

"What? Instead?"

Chen Yuhuan looked at Lu Hao, who gave her an affirmative look.
