Chapter 65 On the Eve of the War, the Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law Meet

Overnight, Wuzhou City, one of the sixteen states of Youyun in the Daxin Dynasty, changed its gate.

Liu Ziyu, the lieutenant general of the Hu Ben Army stationed in Wuzhou, led 3,000 soldiers to rise up and held high the banner of "clearing the emperor's side and eliminating treacherous officials". He arrested all the officials of the county government in Wuzhou City, the branch of the Red Guard stationed in Wuzhou, and more than 130 Daxin officials overnight.

Afterwards, Liu Ziyu, on behalf of the Hu Ben Army stationed in Wuzhou, declared his loyalty to the Longcheng Jingnan Army of Chen Huaian, the King of Jin.

At dawn, Liu Ziyu, who had successfully controlled Wuzhou City, ordered his men to open the Laiyuan Gate (North Gate) and ordered his Hu Ben Army to line up to welcome Chen Huaian, the King of Jin, and the Longcheng Jingnan Army into the city.

On this day, Wuzhou City welcomed the first autumn snow since the beginning of autumn.

Chen Huaian, wearing golden armor, with the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword tied around his waist, and riding a fine yellow horse, was the first to enter the Laiyuan Gate of Wucheng. The iron hoof of the warhorse gently knocked on the ancient bluestone slab at the entrance of the city gate, making crisp sounds.

Following closely behind him was Xiao Po, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, who held the battle flag of the Longcheng Jingnan Army in one arm.

Then, there were the Eighteen Riders of Longcheng, who were all wearing silver armor and protecting Jin Wang Chen Huaian.

At this moment, Liu Ziyu, the lieutenant general of the Hu Ben Army, who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, waiting for Jin Wang Chen Huaian to enter the city, took a breath of cold air when he looked at the endless Jingnan Army behind Chen Huaian with the help of the reflection of the snow.

He secretly said that it was a good thing that he chose to be the uncle of the new dynasty, rather than a short-lived general who was loyal to the previous dynasty.

Liu Ziyu is also a veteran of the battlefield. More than 20 years of military career have trained him to have a pair of sharp eyes. He can tell whether an army is elite or not and how strong it is.

The Longcheng Jingnan Army under the command of Jin Wang Chen Huaian is definitely the ceiling of combat power among all the armies of the entire Daxin Dynasty.

Whether it is individual weapons and equipment (armor rate) or the overall spirit of the soldiers (murderous eyes), they are far better than any army Liu Ziyu has seen in his more than 20 years of military service.

Even the former Emperor Zhao Mang's Imperial Camp, the Imperial Guards of the Imperial City of the Capital, are not inferior to the Longcheng Jingnan Army that is entering the city in an orderly manner.

In fact, Liu Ziyu was not wrong.

This time, Chen Huaian used the three most elite armies under his command to ambush Emperor Zhao Gan.

Iron Pagoda, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Qin Ruishi, any army taken out alone is the existence of the ceiling of combat power of the dynasty.

Bringing these three top elites together, their terrifying deterrence and battlefield dominance are definitely greater than 1+1+1.

Moreover, in order to establish a good image for the first general who defected from the Great Xin Dynasty and his Wuzhou Hu Ben Army.

Before leading his troops into the city, Chen Huaian ordered the three armies to wear armor and carry swords and enter the city armed.

As expected, when King Jin Chen Huaian and the Longcheng Jingnan Army appeared, they shocked the Hu Ben Army soldiers who stayed in Wuzhou.

If they were on the battlefield, facing such an enemy, the Hu Ben Army who stayed in Wuzhou would have no chance of winning.

The Hu Ben Army generals present couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the chief general Liu Ziyu, their eyes full of admiration.

"General--"

Suddenly, a personal soldier quietly pulled Liu Ziyu's sleeve, and the latter suddenly came back to his senses from his trance.

At this time, Jin Wang Chen Huaian had already arrived on horseback, less than thirty steps away from Liu Ziyu and his group of Tiger Guards.

Seeing this, Liu Ziyu hurriedly stepped forward, came to Chen Huaian, knelt down and bowed, clasped his fists and said: "I, Liu Ziyu, pay my respects to His Royal Highness Jin Wang!"

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Jin Wang!"

Behind him, a group of Wuzhou Tiger Guards also knelt down and bowed.

Chen Huaian, riding on the yellow horse, nodded slightly and said, "Generals, no need to be polite!"

After all the generals of the Tiger and Leopard Army stood up, Chen Huaian continued, "Everyone, this time I raised troops in Longcheng to quell the rebellion, which is in accordance with the will of the late emperor, holding the whip to purge the emperor's side and eliminate treacherous officials."

"You are all good generals in the army and the pillars of the country. At this time when the new emperor is stupid and treacherous ministers are in power, you can stand up without hesitation and follow me to the south to fight against the rebellion, consolidate the foundation of the country, and protect the country. I am very pleased."

"If the late emperor knew about it, he would also appreciate your loyalty and patriotism."

As he said, Chen Huaian suddenly drew out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword from his waist, pointed the sword domineeringly, and said, "I am here to promise you in the name of King Jin-"

"After the success of the quelling of the rebellion, you will be promoted three levels in a row, be appointed as marquis and generals, and be granted titles for your wives and children!"

Swish!

As soon as these words came out, the generals of the Tiger Guards present were shocked at first, and then overjoyed.

Lieutenant General Liu Ziyu was the first to kneel down, kowtow and shout: "The King of Jin is mighty!"

"The King of Jin is mighty!"

All the generals of the Tiger Guards knelt down and shouted.

"Long live the King of Jin, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

"Live the King of Jin a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

Amid the shouts of the generals of the Tiger Guards, the Longcheng Jingnan Army led by Chen Huaian entered Wuzhou City in a high-profile manner.

Then, the troops were divided into three groups.

General Huo Qubing personally led hundreds of elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry out of the city to Tumubao to investigate the enemy situation for the army;

Pang Xianchu and Fan Wuji led the Iron Buddha, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Qin Ruishi to the camp to rest and prepare for battle;

General Wang Jian personally led a part of the Qin Ruishi to take over the defense of Wuzhou City to ensure that no news would be leaked before the war.

As for King Jin Chen Huaian, he went to the General's Mansion under the leadership of Liu Ziyu.

Wuning King Liu Xinwu had been waiting in the General's Mansion for a long time.

It was the hour of Mao.

The big rooster in the backyard of the General's Mansion had already crowed for the third time.

In the study, Wuning King Liu Xinwu, who had not slept all night, was still energetic and not tired at all.

At this time, Liu Xinwu had already changed out of the armor of the lieutenant general's personal soldiers and replaced it with a plain dress of high quality.

Originally, he planned to wear a prince's suit with a four-clawed python robe.

Later, if Chen Huaian, the little bastard, also wore a python robe, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

In Liu Xinwu's view, today's meeting with Chen Huaian was not a meeting between the first and second kings of the Great Xin Dynasty, but a meeting between the elders and the younger generations, the father-in-law and the new son-in-law.

Less red tape and more warmth and harmony are the kingly way.

Liu Xinwu was pacing back and forth in the study, waiting anxiously.

This scene reminded Liu Xinwu of the time when he decided to lead his troops to submit to the Daxin regime established by the previous emperor Zhao Mang, and waited all night in the military camp for Zhao Mang to come.

Just like today, there is a bit of anticipation in anxiety, and a bit of tension in anticipation.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has arrived--"

Soon, the announcement of the general's mansion servant came from outside the study.

Liu Xinwu also retracted his messy thoughts, took a deep breath and turned to look outside the door.

Creak!

With a creak, the wooden door of the study was pushed open from outside.

Chen Huaian outside the door and Liu Xinwu in the room looked at each other, first startled, then laughed.

That's right, these two people are still wearing the same clothes.

Chen Huaian outside the door was also wearing a plain dress of high quality, the style was the same as Liu Xinwu's.

However, Chen Huaian was tall and was a natural clothes hanger.

This plain dress made him look more elegant, and he was clearly a modest gentleman.

On the other hand, Liu Xinwu, at the age of knowing his destiny, had already lost his bloated figure.

This plain dress made him look like Maitreya Buddha who had grown hair and returned to secular life.

Hahaha!

In the end, it was the experienced Liu Xinwu who spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere: "Nephew Huai'an, it has been more than three years since we last met in the capital, right?"

Chen Huai'an also smiled and bowed, saying: "My nephew Chen Huai'an, I greet the prince!"
