There are forty-one star mansions in the Imperial Capital Territory outside Hulao Pass.
However, Ding'an Star suffered drastic changes, and the Star Master and all officials were slaughtered by Li Mi's order.
This caused the entire officialdom of Ding'an Star to be almost in a vacuum, so he was absent from this meeting.
"We would like to congratulate General Lu on his triumphant victory and defeat of the Tang army. We gave him a small gift, but the general accepted it."
The older Star Lord at the head raised his hands and smiled.
Outside the Yamen, many gifts have been piled up.
Lu Yu glanced at the gifts and said, "You guys come to me. If you have any questions, just tell me."
Many Star Lords shook their heads. Although Lu Yu was young, he had military power in his hands and was extremely powerful.
When they faced Lu Yu, everyone felt a little bit of pressure, which made many people feel a little weird.
After all, many of them are veterans who have been in the officialdom for many years. It is quite incredible that they would be afraid of a rising star like Lu Yu.
The old star master stood up and said: "I am relying on my old age to sell my old age, so I dare to ask, what is the general's plan?"
"Of course I will lead the troops and go home." Lu Yu said calmly.
The old star master sighed: "I have made it clear that we people were all abandoned by the imperial court. The imperial court ceded all the forty-one stars to the Tang Dynasty. From then on, we are no longer officials of Dayu.
We won’t be able to enjoy salary and luck. Even if Tang Tianchao says a word, we will be driven away.”
"What do you mean?" Lu Yu said without changing his expression.
All the star masters stood up and knelt in front of Lu Yu.
"We are willing to be loyal to General Lu, even if we die!" All the Star Lords said in unison.
There was a long silence, and Lu Yu did not answer them immediately.
A layer of cold sweat has begun to break out on the foreheads of many Star Lords.
They just felt that they were not facing a young man, but like a ferocious beast from the wild forest, staring at them with a ferocious gaze.
"Why?"
Lu Yu asked: "Why should I accept you?"
Um?
Many Star Lords raised their heads in astonishment.
In their plan, if they declare their allegiance, Lu Yu will be happy to accept them. After that, the principal and ministers will be harmonious, and everything will be fine.
But Lu Yu's current performance was completely beyond their expectations.
"I have countless generals and hordes of counselors. There are thousands of people with Jinshi background. There are too many people who are qualified to replace you. When the Tang army came, did you make any military achievements?" Lu Yu asked.
All Star Lords were silent.
The Tang army arrived so quickly that many people had no time to react.
Forty-one stars were all destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Except for a few areas that resisted, those Star Lords who were usually aloof, almost without exception, all chose to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
They originally thought that those who understand current affairs are heroes, but they did not expect that their decisiveness would turn into poison in the blink of an eye.
"We did something wrong before, please forgive me, General Lu!" Everyone bowed their heads and knelt down in silence.
They had no doubt that Lu Yu now wanted to kill them.
Lu Yu's fingers tapped on the chair.
"I can keep you, but you must at least show that you have this value." Lu Yu said lightly.
Everyone was shocked.
The old star master said in a trembling voice: "General Lu, what do you want us to do?"
