wealthy lord

Chapter 889: Mastery of Fire, Son of King Lieshan
Lin Yun raised his hand and pointed at him, saying, "You old man, you are full of bad intentions! But I have to say that you are indeed a capable person! That is why I want to use you, but also be on guard against you!"

Xiang Chong said bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am a little cunning, but it is just a trick in your eyes! I dream of getting your approval! I am also waiting for your call!"

Seeing that he was about to cry, Lin Yun said, "Get up! Anyway, I transferred you here to assist Qi Rui because I trust you and I am worried about him! After all, he is still young. I am afraid that he will not be able to control his emotions and do something impulsive again! After all, you can make mistakes as a soldier, but you cannot make any mistakes as a leader!"

Xiang Chong cried and nodded, "Thank you for your trust, my Lord Regent. I feel much warmer inside!"

"That's enough! Don't complain! Although you assisted Shi Bao in helping me get rid of the Chu family's 500,000-strong army, you shouldn't have framed the Yi country! As a counselor, don't you know that diplomacy is no small matter? Do you know how many times the ruler of Yi country has complained to me in the past few months?"

Xiang Chong scratched his head awkwardly: "I am guilty! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"Oh, forget it! Your starting point is good! I can't blame you. After all, this is the most perfect result! This time, your merits and demerits offset each other. I will neither reward you nor punish you! However, as long as you help the King of Qi solve the rebellion of the King of Han, I will use you in the future!"

Xiang Chong nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Well, besides, what I am going to say next is only known to you and me. No third person can know it, not even Qi Rui. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I am definitely not the kind of person who talks too fast!"

"It's like this. Because of the Han King's rebellion, the court has been arming Jiangxia County's military forces in recent months, resulting in an imbalance of power. So, I hope you can keep an eye on the Qi family for me!"

Xiang Chong clasped his fists and said, "I have also heard some gossip. Did old Qi Changyun make a mistake in the capital?"

Lin Yun raised his hand and pointed at him, secretly sighing that this guy was very cunning.

He was in Jiangxia County, but he knew what happened in the capital. It was indeed a great ability.

"Leave this matter to me! I will definitely not let the Regent down!"

Xiang Chong sighed inwardly, Lin Yun is now no different from the emperor.

His imperial skills have reached perfection.

"Don't rush to agree! Although Qi Changyun was greedy and made a mistake this time, I have punished him! But to be honest, I am still worried! If the King of Qi secretly contacts some mysterious person, or says or does anything inexplicable that is detrimental to the interests of the court, you must report to me immediately!"

Xiang Chong raised his eyes and stole a glance at him, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that the Regent is worried that the Prince of Qi is secretly colluding with the enemy?"

Lin Yun stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him an intriguing smile.

"Xiang Chong, being smart has always been your advantage, but don't show off your intelligence all the time. Some things are better left unsaid than spoken out! Your ability is not worse than Du Sheng's, but when it comes to being an official, you are far behind!"

After saying this, he turned away, leaving Xiang Chong standing there in a daze.

But he immediately understood what was going on. He looked at the direction where Lin Yun was leaving with a look of gratitude and kowtowed three times in a row.

"Thank you, Lord Regent, for your guidance. I am grateful for your advice!"

From the day Lin Yun met Xiang Chong, he knew that this old man was very capable. But thinking back carefully, no matter what he was dealing with, as long as Lin Yun was present, Xiang Chong would always intentionally or unintentionally show his knowledge and ability. It's not that it's bad to actively show your ability to the leader, but excessive performance is annoying, which always makes Lin Yun have the illusion that this old man has impure intentions and ulterior motives.

Noon the next day.

Liucheng City Lord’s Mansion.

Han Tao, the general of the Red Flame Army under Guan Haiyue, was making military deployments for his generals in the living room.

Han Tao's father was the son of Han Xishan, the King of Lieshan, one of the Thirteen Guardians. He once led 50,000 elite cavalry to conquer four or five small countries on the northeastern border, and became famous. He was called the Little King of Lieshan, and was good at blitzkrieg and guerrilla warfare.

Guan Haiyue asked him to launch a surprise attack on Liucheng and stay there. It can be seen that his real purpose was to use Han Tao's flexibility to launch a sneak attack and harass King Jiangxia.

Make King Jiangxia exhausted in dealing with the situation, and finally find an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on them.

At this moment, Han Tao and a group of generals gathered in front of the sand table. He raised his hand and pointed to Linshui County, which was less than ten miles away from Mucheng, and said, "This is where King Jiangxia stationed his troops. A rough estimate shows that there are at least 110,000 troops, which are King Jiangxia's main force! If we can wipe them out, we can completely crush all of King Jiangxia's military plans! We can also buy at least three months for our Dayun Dynasty!"

"And by then, all of you present here will be heroes, and the Emperor will surely reward you generously!"

The generals looked at each other in confusion.

At this time, one of the generals clasped his fists and said, "General Han, you are not planning to attack the Yellow Dragon and the 110,000 troops of Linshui County with only our 30,000 troops, right? Although this is indeed an opportunity to make great contributions, it is too unrealistic! If a real fight breaks out, I guess we will be the first to be surrounded!"

"That's right, General. This matter is still under discussion. Do you think we should wait for Mr. Wei to arrive before we finalize the plan to send troops?"

The Mr. Wei he mentioned was the top strategist under Guan Haiyue, named Wei Feng.

But if Du Sheng was present, he would be surprised to hear this name.

This Wei Feng was one of the elders who followed Li's ancestor to conquer the world. He can be said to be a founding hero. The National Academy of the Great Duan Dynasty was established because of him.

And Wei Feng is Du Sheng's teacher.

But unfortunately, after the Li family established the Great Duan Dynasty, Wei Feng suddenly disappeared.

Some people speculated that he was feared by Li's ancestor and was secretly executed.

Some people also speculated that Wei Feng wanted to retire after achieving his goal and protect himself, so he took the initiative to resign.

No one knows what really happened back then.

Han Tao smiled coldly: "Everyone, please be patient! Listen to what I have to say first! This plan was proposed by Mr. Wei! However, he is old and will not come to Liucheng! Therefore, I have given full authority to execute it!"

"I know what everyone is worried about! Indeed, our 30,000-man army cannot possibly be a match for King Jiangxia's 110,000-man army! Especially since they are equipped with new weapons that are more powerful than bamboo guns. Even if we do nothing, we are not even qualified to defend the city!"
