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

Chapter 415
Lu Hao now has all the power in the government and has a large number of troops, so he can replace him at any time.

The reason why he didn't do this was that he still needed to give the subjects of the Great Yan Empire a transitional stage.

As time goes by, the subjects of the empire will feel the benefits brought by Lu Hao's rule, and they will choose to support him.

After all, the Murong royal family has become a thing of the past, and the imperial subjects who have breasts are their mothers will sooner or later switch sides and choose Lu Hao.

Besides, now that the empire is suffering from internal and external troubles, it is indeed not a good time to replace it.

"Prime Minister, I have something to trouble you about."

Chen Yuhuan suddenly said.

"Queen, there's no harm in talking!"

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"Prime Minister, I want to find a position for my brother. Would you like to help arrange it?"

Chen Yuhuan said straight to the point.

"Isn't your brother already..."

Lu Hao meant that he seemed to have been assassinated.

"My brother was indeed assassinated, but he was lucky enough to survive. He has been recuperating in his hometown. I want to find an official position for my brother. You see..."

Chen Yuhuan explained.

"This is absolutely no problem. Let's do this. How about I arrange a general position for him and be in charge of the army of Yanshan Camp?"

Lu Hao was unambiguous and directly asked him to take over Yanshan Camp.

"Really? Then thank you, Mr. Xiang."

Chen Yuhuan was extremely surprised.

"I would like to thank the prime minister on behalf of my son."

Chen Lin quickly thanked him.

"Father-in-law, we are all a family, so don't be so outspoken."

Lu Hao laughed softly.

Chen Lin was slightly startled, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, which meant that their grudges were forgotten with a smile.

Although Chen Lin retired, Lu Hao reused his son, and this deal seemed to be a good deal!

Besides, with Chen Yuhuan protecting his brother, Chen Lin has nothing to worry about.

Next, Lu Hao summoned alone those Chen Lin's old men who were willing to stay and follow him. The first person to meet was Qi Hongyan.

This red-haired female general was full of evil spirits. At first glance, she looked like an elite warrior on a bloody battlefield.

In fact, these generals in the cold weapon era can no longer keep up with the strategies and tactics of new hot weapons.

However, since he is Chen Lin's subordinate and is willing to stay in the army, Lu Hao cannot refuse.

"The general will pay his respects to the Prime Minister!"

Qi Hongyan knelt down on one knee, cupped her fists and saluted.

"General Qi, no courtesy! Just do it."

Lu Hao waved his hand, indicating to sit down and talk.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang!"

Qi Hongyan sat on the chair next to her.

"I heard that you still want to stay in the army and are willing to follow your true colors?"

Lu Hao asked straight to the point.

"Yes, I will spend my whole life fighting and will not know how to farm or weave. Therefore, I hope to stay in the army and be loyal to the Prime Minister."

Qi Hongyan responded loudly.

"The truth can accept you and entrust you with important responsibilities. However, once the truth discovers that you are disloyal, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lu Hao said coldly.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Since I promised to be loyal to the Prime Minister, I will follow you to the death and never betray!"

Qi Hongyan stood up again and knelt on one knee. "In that case, are you willing to hand over Hangu Pass to General Qi for garrison?"

Lu Hao said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your trust, Prime Minister. I will defend Hangu Pass to the death."

Qi Hongyan was a little flattered.

After all, a military fortress like Hangu Pass requires loyal people to be able to rest assured.

However, Lu Hao actually entrusted him with such an important matter, which made her immediately feel Lu Hao's trust in her.

"General Qi, my general, please don't die at every turn! If you die, I will be very distressed."

"To be honest, even if an ordinary soldier is killed or injured, he will be very regretful. Therefore, defending the city is important, but life is more important. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Lu Hao said in a deep voice.

"The general will remember."

Qi Hongyan responded loudly, but she felt deeply.

The former marshal also fought for the victory of the war at any cost, including the lives of the soldiers.

However, Lu Hao's style was completely different from his. He regarded the lives of soldiers and officers as very important.

Just like the capture of Hangu Pass this time, the Lu Jiajun successfully conquered the first pass in the world with zero casualties.

"General Qi, do you think the people on this list can be used? If so, these people are all your subordinates. When the time comes, I will leave some cannons here to help you defend the city."

Lu Hao said and handed her the list.

"Prime Minister, you said you want to keep the cannon?"

Qi Hongyan was extremely surprised.

"Yes, the truth will not only leave some cannons, but also some guns. You need to organize personnel to train and learn to use new weapons..."

Lu Hao began to explain.

"The final general must fulfill his mission!"

Qi Hongyan was so grateful that she burst into tears.

After all, they have seen the power of this new weapon, and naturally want to train a group of their own people.

On the one hand, he can be stationed at Hangu Pass, and on the other hand, he can always be ready to go out with the Prime Minister to make achievements.

After Qi Hongyan left, she immediately summoned the previous generals and announced Lu Hao's order.

Although everyone is not very fond of Lu Hao, they are absolutely loyal to Qi Hongyan, one of the four powerful generals.

Lu Hao adheres to the principle of employing people without suspicion and not using people who are suspicious.

Since he decided to use Qi Hongyan, he absolutely trusted her and gave her absolute power to let her express herself freely.

When Chen Lin heard the news, he admired Lu Hao so much that he truly saw Lu Hao's methods.

The Battle of Hangu Pass ended, Lu Hao captured Hangu Pass, the former imperial marshal Chen Lin retired and returned home, Wu Cangui returned to the west to guard the border, and the empire regained control of half of the country.

The news spread back to the imperial capital, and countless troubadours began to sing about Lu Hao's heroic deeds, which greatly increased the favorability of the imperial subjects towards Lu Hao.

Of course, there is also good news, that is, the Empress Chen Yuhuan is about to return to the imperial capital.

In this way, everyone has a backbone in their hearts, and the originally chaotic public security environment has been further improved.

Lu Hao did not send troops northward, but sent a message to Liu Mu, warning him not to let Baili Tiance go south, otherwise the empire would send troops to destroy him.

Of course, this was because Lu Hao gave Liu Mu a way to survive because he was once Murong Yuan's confidant. It was up to Liu Mu whether he cherished it or not.

……

Three days later, Lu Hao led the army back to the court.

Now that January has passed, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and Wu Qingyu sent news that Juli Khan of East Turkestan seems to be ready to make a move again.

There is no way, the current Heisen City and Gissen City are in the ice and snow, and they are indeed not suitable for attacking the city.

However, Juli Khan also knew that once Lu Hao dealt with Chen Lin and captured Hangu Pass, he would definitely send troops for reinforcements.

Therefore, Juli Khan wanted to capture Hessen City and Gissen City before reinforcements arrived and occupy a favorable geographical location.
