I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

As the number one "daughter slave" of the Great New Dynasty, Liu Xinwu kept his promise and took his daughter Liu Shujun on a "blind date journey" to Dragon City, the fiefdom of King Jin.

Thanks to the battle of Chen Huaian's Tumu Fort, the new tyrant Zhao Qian was defeated and killed, causing the entire government and the opposition to fall into chaos.

Therefore, the red-clad guards of the imperial court who were originally responsible for monitoring the Wuning Palace also evacuated overnight.

The new imperial court had little control over the areas north of the Yellow River.

In addition, more than half of the generals of the Huben Army in Youyun Prefecture along the way to Dragon City have secretly decided to join the Longcheng Jingnan army of Jin King Chen Huaian.

This made the journey of Wuning King Liu Xinwu, who was the quasi-father-in-law of Jin King Chen Huaian, and Princess Liu Shujun to Dragon City particularly smooth.

Wherever he went, city guards from various places personally greeted him.

Especially since Yunzhou entered Chen Huaian's actual control, Princess Liu Shujun's "bad impression" of Chen Huaian changed greatly through the mouths of the people along the way.

He opened warehouses to provide disaster relief, provided relief to the people, set up private schools in the territory of the Jin Dynasty, and a series of benevolent measures such as halving taxes within ten years and exempting military families from taxes for five years, etc., all of which won the favor of the princess Liu Shujun.

On this day, when the carriage team of Wuning King Liu Xinwu was resting in Jincheng, less than a hundred miles away from Dragon City.

In his spare time, Liu Xinwu said half-jokingly: "Shujun, through what you have seen and heard along the way, has your impression of Chen Huaian changed?"

"You still think he is that disloyal and unjust person?"

Liu Shujun stuck out his tongue playfully and replied in a arrogant tone: "That's not true, it's just that-"

Then, the conversation changed and he said: "Before seeing the real person, who can guarantee that Chen Huaian is not that ugly monster with green face, fangs and windy ears?"

snort!

After saying that, Liu Shujun snorted and said firmly: "Anyway, I will not marry an ugly person!"

After finishing speaking, he tilted his little head and lay on the second floor window of the inn to look at the scenery on the street.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xinwu, who knew his daughter better than his father, smiled and said to himself: The trip to Dragon City was not in vain. The marriage to Prince Jin's Mansion should be a certainty.

Who would have thought that Wuning King Liu Xinwu, who was almost cornered by the tyrant Zhao Qian's decree of marriage three months ago, would turn around and see a bright future?

At an age when you know your destiny, you can still live like a father-in-law. You think this is a big deal!

Sure enough, life is full of surprises and scenery!

at the same time.

The fiefdom of Dragon City and the residence of the Prince of Jin.

How did Chen Huaian know that his little wife had followed her father-in-law to a place less than a hundred miles away from Dragon City, just to confirm whether he was the ugly monster with green face, fangs and wind ears as mentioned by Mr. Pingshu.

At present, the troops on the Anxi border are retreating steadily, and the urgent military information about the siege of the four towns in Anxi by the countries in the Western Regions has been rushed to Chen Huaian's desk through eight hundred miles.

The latest battle report about the military situation in Anxi is the news that the Tubo Zanputama led the cavalry to raid the food road of the Anxi frontier army, causing the Anxi commander and the general of Zhenxi, Guo Dingfang, to retreat to Chang'an City.

At the beginning, Guo Dingfang led 300,000 Anxi frontier troops to join Chen Huaian's Jingnan army, and immediately returned to aid Chang'an City.

He fought fiercely with the Tibetan army on the Eastern Expedition outside Chang'an City for several days.

In the end, because Guo Dingfang underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, the army broke into Dama's trap. The Tibetan cavalry attacked the army's food road and burned countless grain, grass and baggage.

In desperation, he had to lead the remaining troops to retreat to Chang'an City.

Now, the city of Chang'an is short of troops and food, and the severe cold weather has made Guo Dingfang even more overwhelmed. He can't allocate troops to support him. Pei Luo, the backbone of the Huihe Khan, instigated the Western Regions to jointly send troops to besiege the four towns of Anxi.

The four towns were in danger, and Guo Dingfang had no choice but to send an urgent dispatch of eight hundred miles to the Prince of Jin's Mansion to ask for help and report.

After learning that Tubo had defeated An's army in the west and that the countries in the Western Regions had taken the opportunity to raise troops to rebel, Chen Huaian immediately ordered the Longcheng soldiers who had been fighting successive battles to stop resting and prepare for the western expedition.

In the meeting hall of the royal palace, the military generals of Longcheng and the civil servants of the fiefdom gathered together.

Chen Huaian announced the general order of the Western Expedition in public: "Everyone, I believe that in recent days, everyone has heard the news that the Anxi army defeated Xiangji Temple and retreated to Chang'an City."

"In this troubled autumn, there are two kings at home who proclaim themselves emperors and act against the will; outside there is Tubo and Huihe who raises troops to cause rebellion."

"And all of this was caused by this king's decree in Longcheng to calm down the situation."

Clang!

While speaking, Chen Huaian suddenly pulled out the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword from its scabbard, and continued with cold eyes: "As the saying goes, the person who untied the bell must also tie the bell."

"So, I have decided to lead the army to the west to quell the Tubo and Uighur rebellions!"

"All the generals in Dragon City obey the order!"

brush!

As soon as these words came out, all the Dragon City generals stood up one after another and looked at Jin Wang Chen Huaian with firm eyes.

Chen Huaian said sternly: "Dragon City Military and Horse Deputy Marshal Chen Qingzhi obeys the order!"

"The general is here!"

"I will grant you the rank of General of the Western Expedition from now on. You will command the 150,000 Xuanjia Army to send troops to Chang'an City. If you do not defeat the Tibetan rebel army, you will never withdraw the troops without asking for money. There must be no mistakes!"

"The last general takes command!"

The Confucian general Chen Qingzhi, who was dressed in white robes, looked at Chen Huaian with hot eyes and took his orders with his hands clasped in fists.

As the first general to follow His Majesty the King of Jin to raise troops, Chen Qingzhi finally had the opportunity to lead the army on his own. The face of this talented Confucian general was filled with the desire to make great achievements.

Chen Huaian continued to issue orders: "General Wang Jian!"

"The general is here!"

"I order you to take over the defense of Dragon City with full authority and ensure the safety of Jingnan Base Camp without any mistakes!"

"The general will get the order!"

A trace of loneliness flashed through General Wang Jian's eyes.

Chen Huaian added: "Huo Qubing, the hussar general, Pang Xianchu, the brave general, and Fan Wuji, the deputy general of the imperial camp, listen to your orders!"

"The general is here!"

The three of them responded in unison.

Chen Huaian said: "More than half of the border troops stationed in the four towns of Anxi are former soldiers of the Polu Army. I have decided to personally conquer Huihe and relieve the siege of the four towns."

"The three of you will each command the iron pagoda of Dragon City, the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the Qin Rui soldiers, a total of 100,000 troops. We will accompany my king to conquer the Western Regions. There must be no mistakes!"

"The last general takes command!"

The three of them replied in unison again.

Finally, Chen Huaian sent an order to Chang Yuchun: "Deputy Marshal Chang Yuchun of Dragon City Army and Horses!"

"The general is here!"

"I have ordered you to take full responsibility for the recovery of the Sixteenth Province of Youyun. King Wuning Liu Xinwu will assist you. I have only one request for this:"

"Those who surrender to Jingnan's army will be welcomed; those who fight against Jingnan's army will be annihilated!"

"The general will get the order!"

Three days later.

The day when Longcheng Jingnan’s army set off.

As usual, Chen Huaian summoned the generals and some soldiers in the Polu Army camp in the city and held a grand expedition ceremony.

Later, Jin King Chen Huaian, who was wearing a golden battle armor and a seven-star Longyuan sword tied around his waist, was the first to ride on the streets of Dragon City with a good yellow gelding on his hip.

Both sides of the street were crowded with people who came to see off the army.

Chen Huaian, who was riding on the yellow gelding, always felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

But after consciously looking back several times, I found nothing strange among the crowd.

Finally, when his prancing horse was about to step into the Yongding Gate, he turned his head without warning and immediately caught the person who had been secretly watching him among the crowd of people seeing him off.

For a moment, when that beautiful girl's face came into view, Chen Huaian felt as if the softest part deep in his heart had been struck by lightning.

That familiar face brought back endless memories in Chen Huaian's mind.

When he tried to see that face more clearly, that face with stunning beauty had already disappeared among the crowd.

That's right, the girl hiding in the crowd and spying on Chen Huaian was Liu Shujun, the princess of Wuning Palace.

At this moment, Liu Shujun, who had met Chen Huaian's eyes for a moment, felt his heart beat faster and his little deer bumping wildly.

On a pretty face, a hint of crimson appeared quietly without realizing it.
