Passing through the magnificent south gate of Panlong City, everyone subconsciously took a deep breath.

It's finally back again!

He Lingchuan has traveled north and south in reality, and has been to so many places, but only the temperament and atmosphere of Panlong City are the most unique, which makes people feel solemn as soon as they walk in.

This majestic city really represents too much and bears too much.

The guards guarding the city saluted He Lingchuan, and the crowd greeted He Lingchuan.

He's here, almost everybody knows that—

Except for foreign merchants.

There was also a young man who looked at him with his eyes shining: "Commander He, Commander He!" ”

He also proudly said to his companions: "Commander He has inscribed words on my store!" ”

What words have been inscribed? He Lingchuan couldn't remember clearly, but he could feel the boy's admiration and enthusiasm.

His heart warmed, and he reached out and rubbed the young man's head.

The people of Yuheng City and the high-ranking people of Panlong City did not like him, but the soldiers and civilians of Panlong City always respected him as a battle hero, even if he had been gone for so long.

After entering the city, He Lingchuan wanted to find Zhong Shengguang to restore his life, while Sun Lingling went to the Shulu School Palace to do business.

The two parted ways temporarily, and He Lingchuan went to the official office.

I met countless acquaintances on the way, and they all greeted him with a smile, enthusiastic, sincere and friendly.

Panlong City is like this to him, serious and enthusiastic, stern but amiable.

After entering the official office, Zhong Shengguang beckoned when he saw He Lingchuan:

"Just in time."

Zhong Shengguang's appearance has not changed much in the past six months, but there are two more gray hairs on his sideburns.

He Lingchuan came back to report on his work. Panlong City is raising more than one pasture in Tianheyuan, if Tianhe Ranch develops smoothly, the future experience will be fully promoted.

After half a year, Zhong Shengguang summoned him back to the city, and He Lingchuan knew that his horse herding career was over, so this time he explained very carefully.

In fact, he compiles and reports every month. But Zhong Shengguang still sat on the main seat and listened this time, and there was a bookkeeper on the side who carefully recorded it.

After He Lingchuan's report ended, seeing that Zhong Shengguang didn't speak for a long time, he had to speak: "I heard that the Western Front has won another big victory?" ”

Zhong Shengguang seemed to come back to his senses and smiled: "Yes." Although General Red was not at the front, our army still took Baicheng, Tongwei and Puhe. We drove the Xianyou army to the north of the Pu River, and relying on this moat, they could not invade the south again in a short time. ”

He Lingchuan was moved.

In the past year, Panlong City has not only taken back the wasteland territory that was occupied before, but also strongly counterattacked Baling and Xianyou, and even swallowed a large area of Xianyou in reverse. Now that we occupy the Pu River, then the territory of Xianyu will be reduced by half compared to four years ago!

"Also, we have two more allies in the west, and the deed has been signed, and we will cooperate with each other in the future to resist the enemy."

He Lingchuan immediately said, "Congratulations to the commander." ”

In addition to Baling, there are several small countries in the west of the Panlong Wasteland, which were originally coerced by Baling, and their relationship with Panlong City was tense.

Now, with the iron hooves of the Panlong City army expanding outward, especially stepping on Xianyou, and defeating two disobedient small countries, the attitude of the remaining countries towards Panlong City is changing rapidly.

Some were stressed, more aggressive and angry.

Some changed their course and tried to establish a good relationship with Panlong City.

Panlong City helped them figure it out: Bega, who was far away in the sky, couldn't help them, and Xiqi Kingdom was a lesson from the past.

In troubled times, the waist should be soft.

This time, these two small countries have made up their minds to change their thighs.

At this point, the situation of Panlong City surrounded by enemies on all sides was slowly opened.

To the east, it annexed the Western Kingdom and transformed it into its own granary of fish and rice.

To the west, it annexed two small states, flexed its muscles, and improved relations with several of its neighbors.

To the north, it took over a large part of the territory of Senyu.

Once the soldiers are strong and strong, Panlong City can't restrain its instinct to expand its territory and strengthen its military. Before you know it, it is close to half the size of the kingdom of Siro.

It's more than just a "small place".

Zhong Shengguang is not only the leader of a city.

He Lingchuan felt greater ambition and planning from him.

Zhong Shengguang waved his hand: "Where is this?" ”

He walked to the wall and poured a cup of hot water for He Lingchuan with his own hands. The latter took it with both hands and drank it all.

"Why did I send you to Tianheyuan to herd horses, do you understand?"

He Lingchuan nodded: "Understood." You told me to take a break from the limelight and think about it again. ”

Zhong Shengguang did not reward him, but belittled him, and let him go to Tianheyuan to herd horses for half a year, just to calm the anger of other high-level leaders in Panlong City.

"How do you feel?"

At first, He Lingchuan was unconvinced. But he later looked at the vast sky on the grassland, facing the mountain wind blowing flowers and leaves, and finally was able to calm down.

"It's been very rewarding." He Lingchuan said, "What I did in Yuheng City was not only reckless, but also conceited. ”

"Two things." Zhong Shengguang sat back, "You are indeed a clever move to recruit the water bandits as road managers, but the people of Yuheng City are not angry, and you failed to guide them well." It must be known that soldiers cannot win great troubles, and those who cannot meet the will of the people are also unsuccessful. ”

As the commander of a city, He Lingchuan certainly has his own strategic considerations when formulating plans. But what the residents of Yuheng City saw at that time was that the murderous robbers of Takigawa not only went unpunished, but also took away the taxes they paid from Yuhengcheng and took away their hard-earned money.

How can this put them at ease?

"For the sake of convenience, you even squeezed Deputy Envoy Wen away. If you can work well with him and let him resolve the people's grievances, the people of Yuheng City will have less bad feelings towards you. ”

He Lingchuan smiled bitterly.

He deliberately squeezed Wen Daolun away in order to save his life and reverse the deadlock.

But he couldn't say anything, he could only say: "Mr. Wen really loves the people like a son, and I was arrogant at that time." ”

Later facts also proved that he drove away Wen Daolun, but he couldn't drive away fate.

He Lingchuan has reviewed it many times in the past six months, is there a better and more mellow solution to this matter?

Of course.

But at that time he didn't think much about it at all. He thought that his starting point was for the good of Yuheng City and for the good of Wen Daolun, which was enough.

"Second thing!" Zhong Shengguang's tone also became stern, "You actually used Yuheng City as bait to lure Fu Shanlie to sneak attack!" Knowing that he would come to sneak attack, you, as the overall commander, actually left the city without permission! ”

"What if you don't have time to rush back to Yuheng City? What if Fu Shanlie's backhand is powerful, and he knocks on the gate of Yuheng City while you are away? Zhong Shengguang asked him, "Are you 100% sure that you can definitely defeat him?" ”

He Lingchuan shook his head.

There are the most accidents on the battlefield, how can you be 100% sure?

"If you are faced with such consequences, what can you do to remedy it? Do you know the truth of 'handsome is not light'? In that case, even the Red General did not dare to leave his post without permission. ”
