Chapter 222 Hee, this silly brother has become smarter
Yang Pan'er was really afraid that Han Zhuo would suddenly jump up and say that he would lead the troops to wipe out these mountain bandits!
After all, that’s 50,000 people!
In a battle of such a large scale, anything could happen!
Yang Pan'er naturally was reluctant to let Han Zhuo go to war, even though Liyang County was Han Zhuo's own fiefdom.
Now, under the guidance of the Grand Tutor, Yang Pan'er has gained some understanding of the imperial power.
At the same time, he also had a deep knowledge of both civil and military strategies.
While Lin Wuji was narrating, Yang Pan'er had already guessed that the reason these bandits gathered in such a short time to attack Liyang County, which had little resources, was obviously because they were targeting Han Zhuo.
Therefore, Yang Pan'er did not look at Han Zhuo, but looked at Lin Wuji on her left.
She turned to Lin Wuji and asked, "What does the General think?"
At this time, Lin Wuji deliberately glanced at Li Rongdun who had been standing aside without saying a word.
He said in a calm voice, "Your Majesty, Daqian is currently at war with two other countries. The situation is very unclear and our border guards are under great pressure."
"Except for the Shenlong Guards guarding Kunwu City, there are no other troops available right now!"
Hearing Lin Wuji say this, a hint of success flashed in Li Rongdun's eyes!
Li Yuhao had already calculated that Lin Wuji would say this long before Li Rongdun left the house.
Most of the military personnel at the moment are Lin Wuji's generals. As long as Lin Wuji does not speak, no general will be able to lead the troops to war.
Therefore, in the end, this matter will inevitably fall on Han Zhuo's head.
Li Yuhao also judged that Han Zhuo would definitely want to stand out, so as to establish a taller, more majestic, brave and heroic image in front of Yang Pan'er.
As expected, as soon as Lin Wuji finished speaking, Han Zhuo stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said to Yang Pan'er, "Your Majesty, I happen to be free these days. Why don't you let me go?"
As soon as Han Zhuo said this, the civil officials on Li Rongdun's side immediately exchanged glances with each other, and they were all very happy!
Obviously, Han Zhuo's words hit the mark!
However, when Yang Pan'er heard that Han Zhuo was going to the battle, her first reaction was: "No!"
Yang Pan'er's expression looked particularly serious at this time, completely different from when she was in the room just now, playing "Erlang" with Han Zhuo.
At this moment, she carries the majesty and domineering aura of an emperor.
What is revealed between his eyebrows is full of heroic spirit!
She said: "Not to mention that the enemy has 50,000 people, you are the Minister of Works, and you are not a military general."
"How can this matter be handed over to you? Absolutely not!"
Han Zhuo bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I have been familiar with military texts since I was a child. I have a thorough understanding of the art of marching and fighting."
"Although I have never achieved any military merit, I am more than capable of dealing with these low-ranking bandits!"
"Your Majesty, I beg you to let me fight!"
"Liyang County is, after all, the fief of your late Majesty's relatives. I swear to take it back for your Majesty at all costs. We must not allow those vicious bandits to commit evil in Liyang County!"
Yang Pan'er looked at the determined expression on Han Zhuo's face. After a brief hesitation, she sighed and said, "Even if you know some martial arts and have read military books and are familiar with military tactics, the enemy has 50,000 people. How can you defeat them if you have no soldiers or generals?"
Han Zhuo stopped talking at this time. He knew that someone would definitely take over for him.
So, I just recited it silently in my heart.
five.
Four.
three.
……
Before Han Zhuo could even count to one, the Minister of War stepped forward again and said to Yang Pan'er, "Your Majesty, don't we still have over 10,000 Jinwu Guards?"
"Although these Jinwu Guards bully others and do nothing in the Imperial City on a daily basis, they are much better than those bandits!"
"Since Minister Han is so confident in himself, why not let him lead 10,000 Jinwu Guards to attack these bandits!"
Yang Pan'er hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze to Han Zhuo.
Han Zhuo, on the other hand, acted confidently and said, "Your Majesty, ten thousand Golden Guards are more than enough!"
At that moment, Lin Wuji suddenly interrupted from the side and said, "No!"
"The Jinwu Guard's duty is to protect the capital and maintain order."
"No one in the world has ever heard of anyone leading the Jinwu Guard out of the capital to suppress bandits."
"Furthermore, His Majesty has already removed the title of Jinwu Guard in front of the entire city. If these ten thousand people are to be re-employed, they cannot continue to use the title Jinwu Guard. They must change their name."
Although Han Zhuo and Lin Wuji had already discussed it privately.
However, Lin Wuji's sudden words were something they had not discussed before.
For this reason, Han Zhuo couldn't respond to Lin Wuji's words for a while.
For him, it doesn’t matter whether the name is changed or not. He had originally planned to wipe out all the Jinwu Guards!
Lin Wuji urged Han Zhuo again, "Minister Han, since you are a man of both civil and military talents, and you are also the commander-in-chief of the entire army, it is your turn to give these ten thousand people a new name."
Han Zhuo was in a bit of a dilemma at this moment.
After all, he has always been "incompetent at naming".
Otherwise, the main fighting force of the Black Wind Village, which is now operating secretly in Yong'an County, would not have changed its name to the "Black Dragon Army" just because others misheard it.
However, when Yang Pan'er saw Han Zhuo's miserable face, she couldn't help but smile a little.
Then, she gave Han Zhuo a new name: "Let's call it Longxiong Army."
When Han Zhuo heard this, he exclaimed, "Oh my!"
This name is great!
Sounds good!
Then he bowed to Yang Pan'er and said, "Thank you for your grace!"
……
When Li Rongdun returned home, it was already three quarters past noon.
He came to Li Yuhao's yard and saw Li Yuhao sitting on a rattan chair.
There was a pretty and charming maid next to him, feeding peeled grapes to Li Yuhao one by one.
Li Yuhao would occasionally swallow the maid's hand, causing her to make some suggestive noises.
"Cough cough!"
Li Rongdun stood at the door and coughed twice.
Li Yuhao hurriedly sent the maid away, then struggled to stand up and salute.
Li Rongdun hurried over and pushed him back into the chair.
Li Rongdun said to Li Yuhao, "My son is very clever. Everything is just as he planned!"
"Han Zhuo is leading 10,000 former Jinwu Guards, now renamed the Longxiang Army. They will be heading for Liyang County in three days!"
Li Yuhao gave a pretentiously mysterious smile and said, "The name Longxiang Army is definitely not something that a rough man like Han Zhuo could come up with. It must have come from Your Majesty."
Li Rongdun smiled and nodded, stroked his long beard, and became more and more satisfied with this illegitimate grandson.
Li Yuhao continued, "The former Jinwu Guards were all elite soldiers from our clan and the Murong clan."
"Ever since the Empress abolished the Jinwu Guard, we have recalled our elite troops."
"The 10,000 Dragon Sovereign soldiers are actually just a bunch of ragtag bunches of sycophants, all of them are cowards who only seek to curry favor with the powerful and are afraid of death. They will never amount to anything!"
"It's fine that they usually bully the common people in Kunwu City, but now they're fully armed and traveling hundreds of miles, crossing mountains and rivers to suppress bandits. It's a joke!"
"Han Erlang, you're dead this time!"
……
Three days later, in an open space in the southern suburbs of Kunwu City.
Eight thousand people gathered here.
These were all the "defective products" from the original Jinwu Guards.
The original number of Jinwu Guards was not limited to this.
However, in the past three days, under the call of the Ministry of War, only this many people could be gathered.
Among them were many elite soldiers of the former Jinwu Guard. Under the leadership of Jinwu Guard General Li Chongheng, they had quietly left Kunwu City and headed for Daqian Kingdom three days ago.
In essence, Li Chongheng was guilty of treason.
However, because Yang Pan'er had already relieved him of all his duties in advance, and the elite soldiers he took away no longer belonged to the Jinwu Guard, they were all ordinary civilians.
These people left Kunwu City individually or in groups, and thus avoided numerous inspections.
Like a ball of loose sand, they rushed towards the Daqian Kingdom.
Therefore, it was too late to chase and intercept them.
Han Zhuo didn't care about these people. At this moment, he was facing the eight thousand people in front of him, and his cold eyes swept over them one by one.
From their faces, Han Zhuo saw not a strong will to fight, but rather a full sense of evasion and cowardice!
There is even fear!
These people were basically pulled here by force.
Especially when they heard that only 8,000 of them were going to fight 50,000 bandits, there was only one word in their minds - fear!
