Lin Haoxuan walked into Prince Chen's Mansion with a smile, waved to the guards who followed him, and immediately handed a package of things to Xiao Hang.
"Uncle Hang, this is a specialty brought back from Yanbei County by this general. You will always accept it." Lin Haoxuan said in a particularly good mood.
Xiao Hang also smiled and replied to him: "Thank you so much for remembering the little Marquis. Come in quickly. His Highness, the Prince of Baoqing County and His Highness Prince Yi are all waiting to host a banquet for you to wash away the dust."
"Okay!" Lin Haoxuan strode towards the backyard.
Under the leadership of his servant, he entered the Nuan Pavilion, where a table of delicacies was already placed, waiting for his arrival.
As soon as he entered the room, Lin Haoxuan saluted Xiao Muting: "Your Highness, the general is back."
"It's good to come back. You've worked hard this time. Come and sit down." Xiao Muting stretched out his hand lukewarmly and asked him to take a seat.
Lin Haoxuan didn't feel anything strange at all, and pointed to the package carried by the entourage: "These are the specialties brought back by the general from Yanbei County."
"Take it and come over to eat." Xiao Muting said again.
After the door was closed, Lin Haoxuan sat down and still looked at Xiao Muting with a smile: "This time, I have gained a lot."
"Well, I heard about it. You got your wish." Xiao Muting picked up the wine glass.
Everyone picked it up and respected him, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
After finishing the glass, King Yi smiled and poured another glass of wine for Lin Haoxuan: "The young Marquis got his wish this time. The command of the Zhennan Army has been given to the young Marquis. I don't know what the young Marquis plans next.
.”
"What plan can I have? Of course I need to recruit new troops. Now I only have the designation of the Zhennan Army, but I don't have any troops. Naturally, I have to recruit troops first." Lin Haoxuan looked at him with a smile that didn't seem to show off.
The Prince of Baoqing County also smiled: "Does the young marquis really think that he just got the command of the Zhennan Army? I really didn't expect the emperor's deep meaning?"
"What's the deep meaning? His idea is not simple. The Zhennan Army was originally his own soldier. Now that he has lost it, he feels distressed. But he also sees that this army cannot be saved in the hands of Cao Jiliang, so he replaced it with someone to lead it.
I'm still thinking of getting a stronger army, and I'm a good candidate!" Lin Haoxuan raised his eyebrows at Prince Baoqing and said proudly.
"That's it?" Prince Baoqing asked again with a smile.
Lin Hao
Soldiers and horses, can you bribe this little Marquis? He takes our friendship too lightly."
King Yi also smiled: "You have to think about this, the young marquis. This is the command of hundreds of thousands of troops. This military power is not low."
"You have never seen the original army commanded by this general. It was worth millions. Including all the commanding rights, it would be several million at least. His army alone is worth hundreds of thousands, and now there are only
The twenty-man Zhennan Army just wanted me to change my mind, but he really deceived me like a child. I am not a generous person, I have some grudges, but I keep them in my heart."
Lin Haoxuan stopped laughing this time and was very serious.
Xiao Muting smiled bitterly: "He can use this trick every time and never get tired of it."
"Who says it's not the case? It's extremely childish!" Prince Baoqing also snorted coldly.
Lin Hao
The process is really a bit abrupt, even if I say it, will he understand it?"
"I don't understand what's wrong. Didn't you see that there are many civil and military officials from the dynasty standing in the hall? Of course someone will analyze it for him. What he wants to understand is not the process of how you actually won the battle, but what he wants to find out from your battle process.
Bring me what you want." Prince Baoqing raised his glass and took a sip of wine.
"Cao Yukun won't give up. He made a mistake this time. He almost lost his son and lost his military power. Come to think of it, he won't let it go." King Yi raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Muting narrowed his eyes slightly: "Of course I won't let it go. Cao Yukun won't do it, and neither will the emperor. He will definitely find some faults that are not good for me."
Lin Hao
I deliberately let him know about the two concubines and leaked some information to him. Looking at his look at that time, I was quite surprised. I guess it won't be settled in Cao's mansion either."
Prince Baoqing snorted again: "These are all trivial matters, and we don't need to worry about them. What I'm worried about now is that the emperor will have other ideas soon. He can really watch the Zhennan Army change hands with peace of mind, just in case.
If he does something that is not what he wants, it will be too late. He is not such a person."
"Of course he is not, so I decided to return the 700,000 Qingyu Army, the 1 million Haocang Army and the 1 million Yongning Army to him." Xiao Muting said calmly.
Lin Haoxuan exclaimed with his eyes widened: "What! These three armies totaling 2.7 million troops, go back!"
Xiao Muting raised his eyes and looked at him: "Otherwise, if I take these three armies to Tibet, what do you think the consequences will be."
"The consequences..." Lin Haoxuan frowned.
King Yi replied categorically: "Supporting troops to rebel!"
The Prince of Baoqing County patted Lin Haoxuan on the shoulder: "Little Marquis, this was originally our plan. Besides, this is just a drop in the bucket."
"Leave at least one army, otherwise, he will definitely attack His Highness again." Lin Haoxuan said reluctantly.
King Yi smiled: "Yes, but he is not careless. Do you really think he believes that the little emperor uncle only has the strength of these three armies? Of course not. The reason why he is so persuasive is just to let the little emperor
The emperor's uncle has shown his true strength, but he is afraid of seeing it and is very conflicted."
Lin Hao
"He just lived a stable life for too long." Prince Baoqing sighed.
Only then did Lin Haoxuan react. He hissed softly: "That's not right. Then what use do I need this Zhennan Army? When I go to Fandi, I won't be able to take this army with me. Otherwise, I have to return it."
Then what am I trying to do?"
Several people laughed out loud at the same time. Lin Haoxuan's late realization was really quite funny.
King Yi toasted to him at this time: "Little Marquis, in the name of recruiting troops in Zhennan, it is not bad to have a private army of your own. This is a legitimate recruitment, not a private recruitment."
"Hey... Prince Yi is still smart. I respect you as a wise man." Lin Haoxuan smiled brightly and clinked a glass with him.
