The County of Yan had thirteen counties and twenty-five cities under its jurisdiction. The Great Hidden Mountain Range ran through it from east to west. Half of it was mountain ridges, and the other half was plains. The Chang River crossed the border, making it a large county.
The terrain of Yan County was extremely complicated. It was located on the east side of Beiliang, connected to Beimang on the top, Huqiang on the east, and Qingzhou on the south.
To Beiliang, it was a place of three battles, but they had to defend it.
With the Great Hidden Mountain Range as the foundation, the city was stationed in the north and was called Broken Dragon Pass to block the Northern Python. However, there was no danger to defend the east side.
The Hu Qiang and Northern Pythons were not much different in nature. Every autumn, they would trample on the swallows 'land, burn, kill, plunder, and commit all kinds of evil.
"The County of Yan is the gateway to the east of the Northern Liang, and also the gateway to the Central Plains.”
"I don't feel at ease leaving it to someone else." Xu Xiao's expression was solemn.”
"Ahem, foster father, I suddenly realized that my body is not bad. I can continue to lead troops to defend Shuo Yin.”
Lin Xuan's expression was serious.
"You brat, you're still picky.”
"Although the County of Yan is indeed a little bitter and cold, with your ability, there will definitely be no problem." Xu Xiao laughed and scolded.”
"Who asked you to be so disappointing. I told you to interact with the Fat Tiger more, but you didn't want to.”
"It just so happens that the official documents of the Imperial Court have come. Pick a day and go to Yan County.”
"I will fill up the Tiger Leopard Cavalry for you and you will pull them all over. I have no other requests, just one condition.”
Xu Xiao's eyes were cold." If the tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think I'm a sick cat? Two years ago, the Northern Python went south every year. I didn't have the energy to care about them and let these bastards step on my nose."”
"I might not be able to do anything else, but I'm best at attacking cities, plundering territory, and charging into battle.”
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows,"There's no need for the tiger leopard cavalry. If we transfer so many troops away at once, the Northern Python will probably have other ideas."
I only need to select eight hundred elites from them.”
Xu Xiao pondered for a moment and shook his head." Eight hundred is too little. I'll give you five thousand."”
"Eight hundred is enough."
Lin Xuan was confident." But Godfather, you have to give me more armor and weapons. After I enter Yan County, I will need more money to recruit soldiers and buy horses. The eastern side of Yan County is flat, so I have to build a city.”
"I'll give you five thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry.”
Perhaps out of guilt, Xu Xiao agreed readily.
"Thank you, Father."
Lin Xuan cupped his fists.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Xu Xiao patted his shoulder.
"After two years, I will call you back and continue to lead the army.”
As the elites of the elites of the Northern Liang, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry was an army of hundreds of battles that Lin Xuan had brought up.
Only when the tiger and leopard rode in Lin Xuan's hands could they shake the Xu royal flag of Northern Liang.
Now that Lin Xuan handed it over without hesitation, it dispelled many of the doubts in Xu Xiao's heart.
Without the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Lin Xuan could not threaten him, nor could he threaten the next King of Beiliang in the future.
On the surface, it was to let Lin Xuan guard the Yan County and guard the gate to the east of Northern Liang, but in reality, it was not much different from exile.
If there were no accidents, in the future, Lin Xuan, this seventh adopted son, would no longer be able to enter the power center of Northern Liang.
Even if he were to use it again, it would definitely not be in Xu Xiao's hands. It could only be the next Prince of Beiliang, who was also the prince.
The method of an open promotion was not considered brilliant. Xu Xiao also knew that Lin Xuan would definitely be able to tell.
However, the other party did not reject him. That was enough.
Soon, the rewards from the Northern Liang Imperial Palace came. Rare treasures, silk, gold, and silver were pulled to Lin Xuan's residence in the capital.
It was probably a compensation, and all the higher-ups in Northern Liang had received the news.
Lin Xuan was about to head to Yan County to be the governor.
A moment ago, he was the number one in the Northern Liang army. The next moment, he was sent to a cold and bitter place like the County of Yan.
It was said that after receiving the news, the Crown Prince and the lackeys of the sixth adopted son held a banquet and celebrated for several days.
Some people were happy, while others were sad.
at this time
Lin Xuan did not stay in Qingliang Mountain or the capital. Instead, he rushed to Shuo Yin. Xu Xiao agreed that as long as it was in the Tiger Leopard Cavalry register, no matter who it was, he could take it away.
- Inside the Shuoyin Marshal's Mansion-
Amongst the tiger leopard cavalry, the lieutenants, deputy generals, and chiliarchs were all present.
Some people did not say a word, while others were indignant and complained.
"General, His Highness is demoting in secret.”
"It seems like you've been promoted to the prefect of Yan County, but you've taken back your military power."”
"We have done so much for Beiliang, why are we here?”
"Could it be because of a few rumors outside?”
"I took the initiative to hand over the military power.”
On the throne, Lin Xuan's expression was normal, and one could not see his emotions. His gaze swept across everyone and immediately quieted down.
"I don't want to talk nonsense. Godfather allowed me to take 800 people from the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.
Those who didn't want to go stayed behind and continued to be stationed in Shuo Yin. Those who wanted to go stood up.”
"Wherever the general goes, I will go.”
Tian Hu stepped forward.
"Count me in."
Meng Jiao curled his lips." Without the general, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry is like a child without a mother. I don't want to be bullied by others."”
"And us."
Zhang Wei and Zhang Long stood up together.
"I'll go with you."
Wang Qing stroked his beard and said with a smile,"Being the chief clerk of the prefecture is a promotion.”
"This humble servant is willing to follow the general to Yan County.”
The fierce general Huyan Lie knelt on one knee." This humble servant's life was carried by the general through a pile of dead bodies. Wherever the general goes, I will go."”
"I also want to go."
"Bring me along."
In the hall, most people were willing to follow Lin Xuan to Yan County. Of course, there were also a portion of people who chose to stay.
Lin Xuan did not blame him for this. The remaining candidates were mostly chosen from the personal guards.
"General, are you leaving?"
At this moment, a commotion broke out outside the hall. More and more tiger leopard cavalry soldiers surrounded the hall.
"General, bring us along."
Outside the main hall, soldiers were kneeling in a dark mass, and there was no end to it.
This is the morale of the army
Lin Xuan walked out of the hall and looked at this scene. His heart inexplicably twitched, but his face was terrifyingly cold.
"Get up."
He shouted,"I'm only going to Yan County to take on the position of prefect. It's not like I'm not coming back, nor is it a life and death separation."
All of you, give me some dignity. If anyone dares to cry or cause trouble, I'll whip them until their skin and flesh are torn apart.”
"I'll give you four hundred spots.”
The easiest way to fight for a spot was to fight. Whoever won would follow, and whoever lost would stay.
night
Inside the New Moon City
Lin Xuan held a banquet. On this night, many people were drunk, and he was no exception.
The next morning, 400 soldiers with swollen faces stood neatly outside the hall. Each of them was the elite of the elite. Although they were injured, their eyes were terrifyingly bright.
In addition to the 400 people he had chosen from the personal army, there was a total of 800 soldiers. They were wrapped in black armor, carried bows on their backs, carried cold sabers on their waists, and held sabers in their hands. They followed Lin Xuan and headed straight for the capital.
