"I have read the military report on the border. I have read it in detail. In less than half a month after I took office, I defeated 50,000 barbarian thieves. This shows my talent. Not only can I defend my territory, but also promote my strong military power. I am very happy. Lu Qing said that the barbarian soldiers were troubled later, and I also agree with your concerns. The border army can also be expanded to 50,000. I hope you can guard my strong wind north..."

This is a handwritten letter from King Feng Chen Guang. At the end of the letter, the seal of King Feng is stamped with it.

The content was roughly similar to what Lu Chen guessed, and agreed to his request to expand the army and organized the original 30,000 defenders in the border town for 50,000.

There is certainly a reason why Lu Chen received the Feng King's handwritten order at this time.

Although his official position was just a local county magistrate, as a border guard, he was qualified to write to the court after fighting with the barbarians and report to King Feng about the post-war affairs.

As early as when Xiao Wang designed to defeat the barbarians, Lu Chen immediately found Wu Yue and ordered the latter to ride a fast horse to the capital.

His letter to King Feng was also reached directly in the hands of King Feng based on the emergency military situation at the border.

At the beginning, Lu Chen had no other intentions, but he felt that the barbarian soldiers lost 50,000 people this time, and he might have to come more next time, so he had to hurry up and expand the military.

In his letter to King Feng, he did not seek credit from the court like Liu Feng did. Instead, he briefly explained the process and ending of the battle to King Feng. In the memorial, he mainly mentioned the possible actions of the barbarians after the war and the things they were worried about, and made a request to appropriately expand the border army to seek King Feng's consent.

But what Lu Chen did not expect was that the county magistrate Li Cheng actually proposed to send a letter to the court through the county government.

On the surface, his proposal was indeed the most convenient and fastest at that time, and he could also complete the intention of expanding the army as soon as possible. However, among the county officials, everyone knew that Lu Chen and Liu Feng were in a bad relationship.

Li Cheng made such a suggestion. In Lu Chen's opinion, either this guy is too arrogant to Liu Feng's belly, or there are other secrets that cannot be told.

Therefore, he thought for a moment and agreed with Li Cheng's suggestion, and asked the latter to go to the county capital on his behalf, and also to see what the county magistrate intended.

Liu Feng could have thought that after the battle at Hulukou, Lu Chen had the intention to expand his army, and Lu Chen himself had already prepared. When Li Cheng was ordered to go to the county town, Wu Yue had already been on the way to the capital, so Lu Chen did not have much worry.

With more than 20,000 troops, the entire 50,000 barbarians were wiped out. This was a brilliant record in the history of Feng Kingdom's combat against the barbarians. In addition, Lu Chen's post-war concerns were comprehensive and impeccable. Even if King Feng was foolish, he could not refuse Lu Chen's memorial. Besides, in his book, Lu Chen solicited the opinions of King Feng on expanding the army in a very sincere tone, and did not say how much the army expanded, but decided by King Feng. In this way, King Feng had no reason to reject it.

Although Lu Chen and Liu Feng had only had a few deals, he was too accurate to see Liu Feng, and he was 100% sure that Liu Feng would only think about him and would not help him.

In the eyes of Liu Feng and others, Lu Chen subconsciously believed that Lu Chen could not bear to ask Liu Feng for his face, but he was eager to expand his army and had no choice, so he had to send his subordinates to come.

The memorial that Liu Feng wrote to the court through a pigeon to ask for credit. On the second day after he arrived at King Feng, Wu Yue also sent Lu Chen's letter. The county head and the county magistrate both said that they had wiped out 50,000 barbarians, and explained the concerns about the barbarians after the war. This also made King Feng pay more attention to the urgency of military situation. He almost didn't even think about it or discuss it, so he directly took the board.

It can be said that Liu Feng and others underestimated Lu Chen too much, and they did not expect that Wu Yue, the leader of the horse bandit who had almost disappeared for nearly half a month, would actually do things for Lu Chen at this time, and they were extremely dedicated!

When Lu Chen first arrived, he ordered Zhao Chuan to intercept Liu Feng's secret letter, and accompanied by Zhao Chuan, he went to the Ma Bids' village alone to meet Wu Yue.

At that time, Lu Chen told Wu Yue that Liu Feng would be very likely to use one stone to kill two birds with one stone. Although he was confused, Wu Yue also hid near the mountain village with thousands of horse bandits. Sure enough, Liu Feng brought a large number of county troops to kill him soon, but of course he was empty.

After that, at Lu Chen's suggestion, Wu Yue also disbanded thousands of horse bandits under his command. Instead of disbanding them on the spot, they were broken into pieces and dispersed to various surrounding villages and inconspicuous places in the city, so that they could be summoned again in the future.

The number of horse bandits in Wuyue is quite large, and most of them are from the world. Not to mention their strength, but more importantly, all of them have war horses and their riding skills are a vital force that cannot be ignored.

Although the border army has a 30,000 organization, it has never had cavalry because it is stationed in the city gate. When Lu Chen is fighting against the barbarian army, he does not want to be on the passive side that has been beaten. If this is true, then his side will probably never have peace.

Barbarians can come to the wind to plunder, why can't they go to Tusi to plunder?

Lu Chen had already had the idea of ​​counterattacking, so Wu Yue's thousands of war cavalry had long become his future cavalry in his heart. However, the previous expansion of the army had not been finalized, so Wu Yue and other horse bandits had not surfaced, but in fact they were already Lu Chen's soldiers.

The reason why Wu Yue followed Lu Chen was even simpler.

Everyone knows that Wu Yue's family was killed by barbarians. The reason why he practiced martial arts was to join the army to take revenge. However, his ex-Men County Shou was too cowardly and was a greedy guy, so he had to become a bandit.

Now that Lu Chen has taken office, he first revised civil affairs internally, and then defeated the barbarian enemy. He also saved the lives of Wu Yue and the gang of horse bandits under his command. It is reasonable that Wu Yue can follow Lu Chen.

At present, the order to expand the army has reached Lu Chen. Although it was half a day late for Li Cheng to recruit soldiers, it was negligible at all. Who knows when the Feng King's hand order arrived?

After putting away the letter, Lu Chen then looked at Wu Yue carefully.

Although Wu Yue is not as tall as Zhao Chuan, he is also tall and tall. His cheeks are even more distinctive, like a knife carved, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes. He is not handsome, but he has a fierce aura.

Lu Chen knew that Wu Yue might not even sleep a few times during this period. Although the latter was so energetic that he was forced to do so, it was still not difficult to see the haggardness and listlessness on his face due to long-distance travel.

He took a deep breath and shouted coldly:

"Wu Yue obeys the order!"

"I'm here!"

"From now on, you are the commander of my border cavalry regiment!"

Ah!?Wu Yue was stunned when he heard this. After he realized it, he immediately replied excitedly: "Thank you for your promotion! I will be loyal to you to the Lord to death! Follow me and kill all the barbarian enemies! Protect my people!"

"Okay! After I go out, I will immediately grant you the relevant seal. At that time, you can also re-summon your brothers!" Lu Chen said seriously.

"Ah? When will you be released from prison?" Wu Yue couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Lu Chen's mouth curled slightly and said with a slight slightest: "Wait for two more days. Some unexpected things will definitely happen in these two days. You should not show up for the time being..."

He wants to use his tricks and take the opportunity to consolidate his strength.

And what he needs is a border town county with one mind and a single body, rather than a subordinate like Li Cheng who is stingy outside. (To be continued)
