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

Chapter 835 Anxi Protectorate

To be honest, the distance from the main hall to the big tree is about 40 meters, and the two people's marksmanship is indeed very good.

However, in Lu Hao's eyes, it was just average. After all, this was a dead target, not a moving target.

However, he stood up immediately to smooth things over and rewarded the two generals, and it was over.

"Your Majesty, I heard that your marksmanship is also very good. Can you show it to us?"

General Zhou Yuan requested loudly.

"Hahaha... General Zhou, you have to take the test even for me. Okay, I will do what you want today!"

Lu Haole burst out laughing.

He took out a pistol and fired two shots with a flick of his hand. He didn't even have time to aim before he pulled the trigger, twice in a row.

The two bullets pierced the sky and hit the tree trunk directly.

"Your Majesty, you hit the bullseye! You hit two bullseyes!"

Wang Rui screamed and danced excitedly.

What?Two bullseyes?

Is the emperor's marksmanship so terrifying?

Everyone was completely dumbfounded!
"The Emperor's marksmanship is as good as a god, and I will admire him greatly!"

General Zhou Yuan quickly fell to his knees.

"Okay, let's get up. I'm a master-level expert. I can hit the bull's-eye with my eyes closed!"

Lu Hao smiled and waved his hand, meaning that he had bullied them.

"The Emperor is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs! He is indeed an unparalleled talent! We are willing to follow the Emperor to the death!"

All the generals fell to their knees and worshiped him from the bottom of their hearts.

Ling Zhongxian and Ling Fengwu looked at these devoted generals kneeling on the ground, and finally saw Lu Hao's personality charm.

"Okay, hurry up and get up. I want to hear your opinions."

Lu Hao smiled and waved.

"Your Majesty, we listen to you and give orders."

Xuanyuan Lingyu responded loudly.

"In that case..."

Lu Hao stood up slowly and glanced across the hall, his face serious and filled with murderous intent.

"I order General Cao Ming to lead an army of five thousand to march westward to Yingdu and wipe out all the cities southward."

"General Zhou Yuan, you lead an army of five thousand and go directly north to wipe out the five cities in the northwest."

"General Kong Xin, you lead an army of [-] to guard Xunyang City to prevent the remaining enemies from counterattacking us."

"General Ding Rumo, you lead a navy of [-] people to go south, eliminate the remaining enemies along the Qingshui River, and finally return to Qingwan Port to garrison to prevent the navy of the Western Han Dynasty from attacking."

Lu Hao began to issue orders one after another.

"The commander's decree!"

Several generals quickly knelt down to accept the order.

"Your Majesty, what about us?"

Xuanyuan Lingyu glanced at Liu Ruxu and felt that the two of them were completely left out.

"Of course you have more important tasks!"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"What mission?"

The two looked at each other, as if they felt that there was no place for them to show their strength in Zheng State.

"I order Xuanyuan Lingyu, the great general of the Chinese Empire to lead the country, to lead the remaining [-] troops of the Empire's First Army to march north and penetrate directly into Jindu City, the capital of Shu State, and with Jindu City as the center, begin to recover the lost cities of Shu State .”

"Liu Ruxu, the great general of Anguo of the Chinese Empire, led the remaining [-] troops of the empire's second main army, marched northward, opened the passage to Yingzhou City of Jin State, and put pressure on the Western Xia Dynasty to return the Jin State's city .”

Lu Hao announced the order loudly.

"Your Majesty, are we going to war with Xixia and Dazhou?" Xuanyuan Lingyu asked.

"If they don't retreat, then start a war. If they retreat, then don't start a war!"

Lu Hao responded loudly.

"The commander's decree!"

The two female generals knelt down on one knee with fists clasped and responded loudly.

"Your Majesty, if the Yue Kingdom sends troops to stop it, will the general go to war directly?"

Cao Ming asked loudly.

"The Yue Kingdom probably doesn't have the guts yet, but if they want to have a head-on confrontation or find trouble, then just go to war!"

Lu Hao groaned.

"Your Majesty, since we have declared war on the four countries, we might as well annex them all in one go!"

Xuanyuan Lingyu said loudly.

"You have to eat one bite at a time. How can you become a big fat man after one bite? We just destroyed the Zheng State and gave them enough deterrence. By driving them away from the territories of Jin and Shu, we can live a better life. It’s been a peaceful year.”

"Besides, the cold winter is about to enter. There are a large number of refugees in Jin and Shu who need relief. We can't be separated to deal with them for the time being!"

"If we really want to continue the war, let's wait until next spring. By then the weather will warm up and the refugees from both countries will be relieved, and we will be free."

Lu Hao analyzed it in detail and explained patiently.

"That's it! The general understands!"

Only then did Xuanyuan Lingyu and others fully understand the reason.

"General Kong Xin, from today on, you will be responsible for the defense and security of Xunyang City. As for the soldiers who surrendered from Zheng State, each of them will be given a settlement allowance of 100 taels of silver, and then they will all be sent home."

Lu Hao turned to General Kong Xin and explained loudly.

"I will understand at the end!"

Kong Xin clasped his fists in salute and replied loudly.

Lu Hao turned to look at Ling Fengwu and said loudly: "Ling Fengwu, you have to complete the three things I told you before. As for whether the former officials of Zheng State can continue to be appointed? You can decide for yourself. If you’re not sure, just ask the old man.”

"Reporting to the emperor, the notice of peace of the people has been posted, and the ministers have contacted the civil and military officials who stayed in Xunyang City, and are selecting officials in the prefecture and county..."

Ling Fengwu reported the report loudly.

"Oh...is things going so smoothly? It seems that your work efficiency is pretty good! I actually look down on you!"

Lu Hao was also slightly surprised.

I originally thought that since she was a newborn calf, she was not afraid of tigers and would definitely run into trouble. Unexpectedly, she was unambiguous in how she handled things.

In fact, many of them do this for the sake of the Prime Minister Ling Zhongxian. Otherwise, who would care about a little girl?
"Of course, the little girl was brought out by her grandfather. She is more than capable of being a little city lord."

Ling Fengwu was not modest at all.

"Hahaha... Confidence is a good thing! Work hard, I am optimistic about you!"

Lu Haole burst out laughing.

"Your Majesty, I made you laugh!"

Ling Zhongxian smiled bitterly.

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier! An official who doesn't want to be a prime minister is not a good official! The Lord of Fengwu City has high aspirations, which puts many men to shame. I admire him so much!"

Lu Hao smiled and praised.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary! This little girl is so ashamed of herself!"

Ling Fengwu blushed and said modestly.

"Mr. Ling, I appoint you as the Grand Protector of the Anxi Protectorate of the Chinese Empire. From a second-grade official, you will establish the Anxi Protectorate of a special administrative agency in the Western Region. You will be mainly responsible for establishing the official system of the five prefectures and sixty counties. Responsible for the appointment and delegation of officials at all levels in the Western Region..."

Lu Hao said loudly.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. I will definitely show you my kindness!"

Ling Zhongxian did not refuse, but accepted it calmly.
