Chapter 200 Return to Hanyang City
Looking at the carriage slowly passing through the middle, escorted by three thousand golden fire cavalry.
The common monks on both sides of the street started talking in low voices.
"Have you heard that the Tianwu Barbarians invaded Beimang Pass from Beimang Mountain not long ago, but were repelled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's troops?"
"Your information is inaccurate. Instead of repelling them, they annihilated all the invading Tianwu barbarians. They even led troops to counterattack into the territory of those barbarians."
"How is it possible? Those Tianwu barbarians are demons who kill without blinking an eye. The Zhenbei Army has always been passively defensive. How can it be possible to repel them?"
Although the news of the complete annihilation of the Tianwu barbarians has not been fully announced, there are still various news circulating in the three major cities in the north.
Of course, these news did not spread from the Zhenbei Army.
After all, no one dared to release the news privately without Lu Fan's order.
But even so, the news still spread to some extent.
After all, Beiman Mountain is not only the dividing line between the Daqian Dynasty and the Tianwu Dynasty, but it is also a treasure-hunting paradise for cultivators.
Whether it was the invasion of Tianwu barbarians or the battle between the two armies, it was not a small movement and it was impossible to hide it.
Ordinary monks naturally don't know this, but the monks who often look for resources in Beimang Mountain know something about it.
After all, the commotion caused by this time was too great, and they couldn't help but pay attention to it.
Fortunately, the action was very fast this time and the battle did not last too long, so not many monks knew about it.
Therefore, some news has only been circulated, and most of the common monks do not believe this news.
After all, Daqian has always been passively defensive, and has never fought against Tianwu barbarians on a large scale.
It would be good to be able to withstand the invasion of the Tianwu Barbarians, but how could they completely annihilate the Tianwu Barbarians or even counterattack the Tianwu Dynasty?
Therefore.
There were many common monks talking about the news on both sides of the street, but there were not many common monks who truly believed the news.
And these comments spread to the car without reservation.
Qin Qiong had been staying in Hanyang City and naturally knew about these rumors. When he heard it again, he couldn't help but look at Lu Fan and said:
"Lord, the news of this great victory is circulating everywhere in the city, and there are various versions. Do you think we should announce it directly, which can be regarded as inspiring people?"
If it was news of defeat, it would naturally be necessary to find ways to cover it up.
But this is an unprecedented victory, and if word spreads about it, the common people and monks in Daqian will be excited about it.
Qin Qiong's questioning ended, and the others also looked at Lu Fan.
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Fan pondered and shook his head: "It won't be announced for the time being."
His original plan was to send news of the victory back to the imperial capital and also announce the news in the north.
In this way, it can not only inspire the hearts of all the monks in the North, but also increase one's reputation and make one's control over the North stronger.
After all, for ordinary monks, all they want is stability and peace.
In the past, the northern territory was often invaded by Tianwu barbarians and massacred a large number of common monks. This was a life-and-death hatred that lasted for hundreds of years.
Now with such a great victory, they will definitely feel excited and proud from the bottom of their hearts.
Lu Fan knew this very well.
But after listening to Jiang Shang's analysis on the way here, he temporarily shelved this idea.
Since my father-in-law doesn't want to spread the news for the time being, he should cooperate well.
Compared with the fame brought by publicizing the victory news, the benefits obtained are more substantial.
Anyway, the emperor's father issued a secret decree to compensate himself for the spiritual stones and military power, which was enough.
As for whether it's famous or not, it doesn't matter for the time being.
Hearing what Lu Fan said, Qin Qiong, Zhao Tianhu and others couldn't help but have a flash of doubt on their faces.
Although they were extremely confused, they did not continue to ask.
After all, Lu Fan is their master, and any decision he makes must have a certain purpose.
As a subordinate, you only need to implement it, and there is no need to break the casserole and ask for the end. That would be too stupid.
Jiang Shang was not surprised by Lu Fan's decision.
Soon the mighty team arrived in front of the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion.
After receiving the news, Duan Zhengchun, Li Si, Shen Wansan, Gu Tiefeng, Lu Wushuang and others were all waiting here.
When Lu Fan came out of the carriage, everyone came to the carriage.
"Greetings, my lord!"
"Greetings to Your Highness!"
Everyone saluted Lu Fan, and at the same time looked curiously at Xiahou Dun, Pang De, Gu Qing and others who followed Lu Fan down.
Lu Fan also nodded to everyone with a smile on his face, his eyes passing over everyone.
When he saw Lu Wushuang, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Although Lu Wushuang is his cheap cousin, his impression of this cousin is very average.
Moreover, he had directly warned her coldly before, and she also moved out of the Sheriff's Mansion.
Although he later met him again because of An Lan, he didn't give him a good look.
After all, this cheap cousin is not a simple person, and she must have some agenda, which he dislikes very much.
Originally, he thought that after such a long time, this cheap cousin would have left Hanyang City long ago.
But he didn't expect that she was still here, and she was still here waiting to welcome him.
When these thoughts flashed through her mind, Lu Fan's eyes also moved away from Lu Wushuang.
Although Lu Fan's eyes moved away, Lu Wushuang's heart was not at peace at all.
Others did not know what happened in Beimang Pass and Beimang Mountain, but how could she not know.
She even knew it when the Tianwu Barbarians just invaded.
Of course, besides her, An Lan also knew this news.
Originally, they thought that Lu Fan would be in a mess when facing the invasion of the Tianwu Barbarians, and he would even be forced into a mess by the Tianwu Barbarians.
For this reason, she and An Lan also reached an agreement and decided to negotiate with Lu Fan when Lu Fan was completely at a disadvantage.
Use the chips to help repel the Tianwu Barbarians in exchange for some favorable conditions.
And they all secretly made all preparations, just waiting for Lu Fan to be forced into a desperate situation by the Tianwu Barbarians.
They imagined it very beautifully.
But they never expected that the result of the matter not only did not develop as they expected, but also completely exceeded their imagination.
The invading Tianwu barbarians were annihilated before they launched a single attack.
Then they were chased into Beimang Mountain, and the invading enemy army was completely annihilated.
If that was all, it would be fine.
As a result, Lu Fan led his subordinates directly to Tiannan Pass of the Tianwu Dynasty, causing heavy losses to the entire Tiannan Pass.
Although they had received the news for a few days, they were still shocked.
That's why she came here to wait for Lu Fan.
Although Lu Fan's attitude towards her was very bad, and even a little disgusted with her, she still came.
While Lu Wushuang was thinking about it, Lu Fan had already walked straight into the county governor's mansion surrounded by people...
