Chapter 401: 212, A Real Man Should Be Like This_2

The army of officials below who heard this sound instantly knelt and worshipped as if rehearsed beforehand, shouting in unison, “Long live Changsha! Long live the king! Congratulations to the king!”

Three phrases, neatly synchronized, echoed between Heaven and Earth.

Lu Yuan, hearing these cheers, stood on top of the Heavenly Altar, looking down at the figures kneeling and bowing, feeling a surge of ambition, couldn’t help but ponder.

‘Among all these people below, is there anyone who wants to replace me?’

The throne of a king not only represents power and wealth but also represents duties and dangers.

Today, he was the king of Changsha, enjoying the prosperity of a region, ruling over a million people.

But who knows if within this land, there is no one eyeing his position, coveting his power, wanting to replace him?

‘But no matter if there is a Xiang Yu or not, as long as this king is here, this Changsha and this territory of Dongting cannot be turned upside down.’

With such thoughts in his mind, Lu Yuan closed his eyes slightly, facing the sunshine falling from the sky, starting to enjoy the cheers.

Since he crossed over, seventeen years had passed. This body was thirty-two years old. Today, he finally ascended the throne and became the king, commanding a region alone.

When he first crossed over, in that cold cave, he vowed to be a king, to lead a million troops, to have saints and witches as wives, to have three thousand beauties in the palace, to achieve major success in martial arts, to be unrivaled in the world. His dreams today are half fulfilled.

What a pleasure and joy it is to achieve this as a man!

A great man should be like this.

On this day, in the seventh year, the sixth month, and the twentieth day of Hongdao, Lu Yuan performed a sacrificial ceremony outside Changsha city, ascended the throne, and established the Kingdom of Changsha.

After that, he conferred ranks on all the officials, assigning his disciple Zhou Qing as the Grand General, in charge of military affairs. He appointed Cui Changqing as the Left Chancellor and Sun Siwen as the Right Chancellor, and the two jointly managed governmental affairs.

All other military officers and officials were also appointed to countless ranks.

Later that day, on top of the Heavenly Altar, Lu Yuan personally announced that he would lead 100,000 troops to carry out the Northern Expedition against the Zhou People to recover Tianmen Prefecture, the lost territory of the kingdom.

The army of forty thousand troops arrayed below instantly moved, heading north, straight towards Yiyang.

Several days later, outside Yiyang City.

As soon as Lu Yuan led his troops here, the gates of Yiyang city were already wide open.

“Your Majesty, three days ago, when the news of Your Majesty’s ascension to the throne and the northern expedition of our troops was received.

The Zhou’s defenders in Yiyang city deserted the city and fled north.

We pursued them for hundreds of miles, killing more than two thousand bandits and capturing more than four thousand, while a thousand bandits scattered and ran rampant, and we were able to pursue and capture them.

However, the Rebel Head Li Yanjing and others escaped with hundreds of surviving soldiers, and we failed to catch up. Please punish me.”

At the city gate, Lu Yuan’s disciple, Chu Wei, who had been left behind to guard the place, reported and sought for punishment.

After listening, Lu Yuan was slightly surprised. He did not expect Li Yanjing and the others to flee without fighting.

But on second thought, it made sense.

Previously, although he had surrounded Yiyang city with his troops, he did not launch a strong attack and just surrounded the city.

Given this situation where he was also cautiously monitoring the move of the imperial court across the river, the Zhou People naturally believed that they had room for negotiation.

So, they sent messengers to try to persuade Lu Yuan to surrender.

During that period, he had shown goodwill to gain the Zhou People’s support and even allowed the Zhou People in Yiyang city to leave the city for firewood and water, showing a friendly relationship.

At that time, even though Li Yanjing and the others were surrounded, they did not panic because they had hope.

However, now that the news of Lu Yuan’s acceptance of the imperial appointment and the establishment of the Kingdom of Changsha has been confirmed, all their hopes and illusions naturally crumbled.

Especially a few days ago, when the imperial court gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and put up the flags of Shangguan Ming and Yang Jing, it made Li Yanjing and the others panic even more.

After all, in addition to Lu Yuan’s besieging army outside the city, it would amount to more than two hundred thousand strong troops and six Inborn Grandmasters.

This, whether in terms of ordinary soldiers or inborn combat power, already surpassed Li Yanjing and the others.

If these Zhou Grandmasters stayed in the city, then when Lu Yuan’s troops arrived, they would most likely be trapped.

If these three Zhou inborn grandmasters could be detained at once, Lu Yuan would not let go of this opportunity.

As long as Li Yanjing and the others can be kept here and eliminated.

The Zhou would lose three inborn grandmasters at once, half of their top combat power would be lost directly, and they would no longer pose a threat.

By that time, the pressure on Lu Yuan’s northern borders would be greatly relieved.

He would no longer have to worry all the time about when the Zhou People would cross the river to attack his kingdom.

What a pity.

It seems that Li Yanjing and the others also understood this point, so they deserted the city and fled as soon as Lu Yuan officially turned to Yue Country.

Now that the three inborn grandmasters have left Yiyang, they have a vast world to escape to. Catching them would be extremely difficult, almost impossible.

“Never mind. Recovering Yiyang County Town is a good thing.”

With such a sigh in his heart, Lu Yuan looked at his disciple and shook his head, “As for Li Yanjing and the others, they are all inborn grandmasters. It is normal for you to not be able to stop them without the help from an Innate Master. Get up.”

With the strength of an Inborn Grandmaster, unless the person is stubbornly resisting a large army.

It is still very easy to find a direction to break out in a large army.

Not to mention that there were as much as three inborn grandmasters in the city. It’s perfectly normal for his disciple not to be able to stop them.

Even if he could stop them, it would be abnormal.
