"The military newspaper of the border pass, Lone has read it carefully, and before half a month after taking office, he broke 50,000 barbarian thieves, which shows the ability of Qing, not only to defend my territory, but also to raise the military might of my strong wind, Lone is very happy. Lu Qing said that the barbarian soldiers will suffer later, and Gu also agrees with Qing's concerns, and the border army can also be expanded to 50,000, hoping that Qing can guard my windy northland......"

This is an edict from the Wind King Chen Guang, and at the end of the lower left side of the letter, it is stamped with the seal of the Wind King.

Its content, roughly similar to Lu Chen's conjecture, agreed to his request to expand the army, and set the original 30,000 defenders in the border city to 50,000.

Of course, there was a reason why Lu Chen was able to receive the Wind King's edict at this time.

Don't look at his official position as a local county guard, but at the same time, as a border guard, after the war with the barbarians, he is qualified to write to the court and explain the post-war matters to the Wind King.

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

And his letter to the Wind King was also in the hands of the Wind King on the grounds of the emergency military situation at the border pass.

At the beginning, Lu Chen didn't mean anything else, but he felt that this time the barbarians lost 50,000 people, and I was afraid that there would be more next time, so he had to hurry up the expansion of the army.

In his letter to King Feng, he did not ask for credit from the imperial court like Liu Feng, but simply explained the course and end of the battle to King Feng, and mainly mentioned the possible actions of the barbarians after the war, as well as his own concerns, and put forward a request for appropriate expansion of the border army to seek the consent of King Feng.

It's just that what Lu Chen didn't expect was that Li Cheng, the county prince, actually intended to propose to pass on the letter to the imperial court through the county pigeon.

His proposal, on the face of it, was indeed the most convenient and quick at that time, and it could also complete the intention of expanding the army in the first place. It's just that among the county government officials, everyone knows that Lu Chen and Liu Feng are at odds.

Li Cheng just made such a suggestion, which in Lu Chen's opinion, either this guy thinks too highly of Liu Feng's belly, or he has some other ulterior secrets.

Therefore, he only thought about it for a while, and then agreed to Li Cheng's suggestion, and asked the latter to go to the county capital on his behalf, and also to see what the county lord had intentions.

Liu Feng could think that after the battle of Hulukou, Lu Chen had the intention of expanding the army, and Lu Chen himself had already prepared. When Li Cheng was ordered to go to the county seat, Wu Yue had already galloped on the way to the capital, so Lu Chen didn't have too much to worry about.

With more than 20,000 troops, he annihilated 50,000 barbarians, which was a brilliant record that had not been seen in many years in the history of the Wind Country's war against the barbarian army, coupled with Lu Chen's post-war worries, it can be said that he was comprehensive and impeccable, and even if the Wind King was mediocre, he could not refuse Lu Chen's performance. Moreover, in the above book, Lu Chen used a very sincere tone to solicit the Wind King's opinion on the expansion of the army, and did not say how much the army was expanded, but it was decided by the Wind King. In this way, the Wind King has no reason to dismiss.

Don't look at Lu Chen and Liu Feng have only dealt with him a few times, but he sees Liu Feng too accurately, and he is 100% sure that Liu Feng will only think about him to death, and will not help him.

Lu Chen sent Li Cheng to the county town, which in the eyes of Liu Feng and the others, also subconsciously thought that Lu Chen couldn't pull his face to beg Liu Feng, but he was in a hurry to expand the army, and there was no way, so he had to send his subordinates to visit.

And Liu Feng sent a letter to the court through a carrier pigeon, and the day after it arrived in the hands of the Wind King, Wu Yue also delivered Lu Chen's letter. The county chief and the county guard both claimed that they had annihilated 50,000 barbarian soldiers, and both expounded on the concerns of the barbarians after the war, which also made the Wind King pay more attention to the urgency of the military situation.

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

At the beginning, 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 horse bandit cottage alone to meet Wu Yue.

At that time, Lu Chen told Wu Yue that Liu Feng was very likely to use two birds with one stone, although there were doubts, but for the sake of insurance, Wu Yue also hid near the cottage with thousands of horse bandits, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Liu Feng to kill a large number of county troops, and the result was of course a failure.

After that, at Lu Chen's suggestion, Wu Yue also dismissed his thousands of horse bandits, and they were not disbanded on the spot, but were broken into pieces and scattered to various surrounding villages and inconspicuous places in the city, in order to be able to gather again in the future.

Wuyue's group of horse bandits, there are a lot of people, and most of them are people in the rivers and lakes, not to mention all of them, not to mention, more importantly, these people all have war horses, and their riding skills are exquisite, and they are a vital force that cannot be ignored.

Although the border army has 30,000 troops, there has never been cavalry because of the garrison at the city pass, and in the battle with the barbarian army, Lu Chen does not want to be on the side of the passive beating all the time, if this is the case, then I am afraid that there will never be a day of peace.

The brute can come to the wind to plunder, why can't you go to Tusi to plunder!

Lu Chen also had the idea of counterattacking for a long time, so Wu Yue's thousands of war horses had already become his future cavalry in his heart, but the previous expansion of the army had not been finalized, so Wu Yue and other horse bandits had never surfaced, but in fact, they had already been Lu Chen's soldiers.

And the reason that caused Wu Yue to follow Lu Chen was even simpler.

Everyone knows that Wu Yue's family was killed by barbarians, and the reason why he practiced martial arts was precisely to join the army for revenge, but the former county guard was too nesty, and he was still an insatiable guy, so he had to become a horse bandit.

Now that Lu Chen has arrived, he first repaired civil affairs internally, and then broke the barbarian enemy, and he also saved the lives of Wu Yue and his gang of horse bandits, and it is reasonable that Wu Yue can follow Lu Chen.

At the moment, the order of the Wind King to agree to expand the army has reached Lu Chen's hands, although it is half a day late when he recruited troops with Li Cheng, but this can be ignored at all, who can know when the Wind King's edict will arrive.

After putting away the letter, Lu Chen took a closer look at Wu Yue.

Although Wu Yue is not as burly and tall as Zhao Chuan, he is also tall, his cheeks are even more contoured, like a knife carving, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, not handsome, but there is a fierce atmosphere.

Lu Chen knew that during this period, Wu Yue probably didn't even sleep a few times, although the latter was strong at this time, but because of the long journey, it was still not difficult to see the haggard and sluggishness on his face.

He took a deep breath and said coldly:

"Wu Yue listens to orders!"

"The subordinates are here!"

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

Yes!? When Wu Yue heard this, he was stunned at first, and after he reacted, he immediately replied excitedly: "Thank you for your promotion!" Genus...... The last general will swear allegiance to your lordship to the death! Follow the adults to kill all the brutal enemies! Protect my people! ”

"Good! As soon as the official is out, he will give you the relevant seals, and then you can reconvene your brothers! Lu Chen Zhengse said.

"Huh? When do you plan to get out of prison. Wu Yue couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth turned up slightly, and he said quietly: "Wait for two more days, in these two days, something unexpected will definitely happen to us, and you don't show up for the time being......"

He wants to take the opportunity to consolidate his strength.

And what he needs is a border city and county that is united and ironclad, not a subordinate like Li Cheng who eats inside and out.
