Chapter 302: Chapter 179: Setting Out to Pacify the Miao 2

Not making peace with Liang Country and letting them withdraw their troops from the border means that the imperial court will always face great pressure on Guangling County and have to station a large number of troops here.

If the two countries reconcile, at the very least, the imperial court can draw another hundred-thousand-strong army from Guangling County.

If the negotiations go even more smoothly, they might even persuade Liang Country to send their troops together to fight Zhou Country.

If it could be done, the imminent danger of national calamity that Da Yue is facing now would be easily resolved in an instant.

‘I just hope that the Liang people can understand the principle that if one falls, the other will be in danger. Once my Yue Country is destroyed, the Zhou people will come to seize the southern land and attack Liang country from both the west and the south directions.

By then, Liang country will be faced with enemies on both sides, and their destruction will not be far away.’

At present, only those tens of thousands of troops under Lu Yuan’s command can be used to provide some support, Shangguan Guangbai thought.

Since their military resources are limited, the imperial court has no choice but to suffer such humiliation.

At this time, Lu Yuan also assured: “Don’t worry, as long as my two conditions can be met, sending troops will be just an easy task.”

“Then let it be settled like this,” Shangguan Guangbai finally confirmed.

“It is settled,” Lu Yuan solemnly nodded.

After agreeing on this matter, the atmosphere between the three became much better instantly.

Lu Yuan’s face regained his previous smile when facing Shangguan Haimoon.

Shangguan Haimoon also put on her smile again and continued to be close to him as she had in the past.

However, given the emergency of the military situation, after confirming the conditions for Lu Yuan to send troops, Shangguan siblings only stayed here for a meal, and then hurriedly left to report back to their father.

Whether it’s the one million silver tales or Elder Master Yan Wangqiu, they needed their father’s decision before they could mobilize the troops.

Given the difficult situation, if they could arrange these conditions a day earlier and let Lu Yuan send troops a day earlier, it would be a great thing for Shangguan Ming.

The Shangguan siblings dare not delay.

Having sent off the Shangguan siblings, Lu Yuan summoned his generals that same afternoon and announced the order to set out on the campaign soon.

There are now 5,000 old soldiers and 15,000 new recruits who have been trained for half a year, as well as 32,000 completely new soldiers who have trained for two months. In total, there are 52,000 men.

No matter how many of these troops are capable, at least they are imposing enough>

At least they are a group of 50,000 people, and all of them are strong young men

According to Lu Yuan’s recruitment standards, those who can be recruited into the army, even new soldiers, basically have some martial arts and archery skills.

With this foundation, it cannot be said that they are really incapable.

“Those Miao soldiers were originally just mountain people. Some of them do not even qualify as mountain people, but are simply farmers.

Regarding the quality of soldiers, I am not sure if they are even better than mine.”

Lu Yuan is quite confident in his troops. Perhaps they are no match for the imperial elite or the Zhou elite, but they are not weak when fighting against the same level, or even worse, the Miao people.

This superiority complex comes from the past several times when they defeated the Miao people.

The only thing that worries him is the Inborn Grandmaster and Saintess Lan Cai’er among the Miao people.

But now, the threat from Lan Cai’er will be neutralized by Yan Wangqiu.

Although Elder Master Yan is old and unable to fight, Lan Cai’er is only a newly promoted grandmaster who may not be so powerful.

With the old lord by his side, Lu Yuan is not afraid of Lan Cai’er at all.

So now that he has secured the conditions with the imperial court, Lu Yuan has prepared himself to face the Miao people properly.

Previously, Shangguan Guangbai was right.

Letting the Zhou people cross the river is not good for Lu Yuan.

Just losing Shaoyang Prefecture and Luyang Prefecture would make him very upset.

Without his own territory, how can he practice the Taiping Dao Book?

Lu Yuan has been suffering from the pain of not being able to cultivate immortality for more than a decade and does not want to continue suffering.

Moreover, Shaoyang Prefecture has been constantly attacked by the Miao people and has already lost five counties and half a prefecture. It’s time to save them.

“Those Miao people have become complacent, thinking I can’t do anything to them. This time, let them see that I, Lu Yuan, am not someone they can bully at will,” an icy glint flashed through Lu Yuan’s eyes.

As he thought, after arranging the campaign, he left the barracks and went to Fu City.

An army of fifty-thousand needs a substantial amount of daily supplies, which is not a small number.

Preparation of military food, conscription of civilian workers for transportation, all of these require the support of local officials.

Similarly, with Lu Yuan and his army leaving, the local defense of Luyang Prefecture could only rely on the local militia from the prefectures and counties.

Therefore, the local defense could only rely on Luyang Prefecture itself.

There are still 30,000 Miao people watching in the southern part of Yangshan Prefecture, which is a significant threat and a significant problem.

As for how to deal with these issues, it would be impossible for Lu Yuan to decide on his own by just discussing with Sun Siwen, the prefect.

“Don’t worry about the defense of Luyang,” Sun Siwen said in the Governor’s Mansion. “With Brother Lu’s help last year, the local militia in each county of this prefecture is now well -prepared.

“In addition, with the newly arrived refugees, the population of this prefecture has gradually increased, and the situation has returned to its pre-war state..”
