Chapter 68: Grant you the authority to mobilize all military and political affairs in Qinzhou, and the power to act at your discreti

Seeing that Chen Yan was willing to go, Yuwen Hu waved his hand and ordered: "Take twenty Embroidered Attire Envoys from the Zhuque Guard, and then point three hundred provincial soldiers to go!"

Chen Yan was stunned, repeatedly confirmed that he hadn't misheard, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said embarrassedly: "Grand Chancellor, do you think this mere three hundred and twenty people is a bit too few?"

It really wasn't that he, Chen Yan, wanted to bargain with his boss!

It was just that a clever woman can't cook without rice...

The rebel army was able to take Shanggui City, there must be at least ten thousand of them. Even if the Grand Chancellor gave him regular troops, three hundred provincial soldiers wouldn't be enough to look at!

He, Chen Yan, was not a Great Magus or a Plane-born Xiu'er who could summon meteor showers out of thin air...

Even if he wanted to test his ability, he should at least give him a thousand people, right?

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Hu looked at Chen Yan, who had bitter words he couldn't speak, with great interest, hooked into a meaningful smile, and slowly spat out two words:

"Cavalry!"

As his words fell.

That playful look seemed to be saying: You stinky kid, did you really think this Prince was sending you to your death?

"??!"

Hearing the word "cavalry," Chen Yan trembled all over, his eyes shone, he was overjoyed, hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands, and said excitedly: "This subordinate will definitely go through fire and water, and will not fail the Grand Chancellor's trust!"

The surprise came too suddenly.

In this era, cavalry and infantry were not the same concept; calling it a dimensional strike would not be an exaggeration...

Not to mention that it was to deal with miscellaneous rebel troops who were uneven in quality and poorly equipped.

Even at the worst, he could use the kite-flying tactic...

Chen Yan had once studied the military strategy of that gentleman: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we fight; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!

He had also performed countless simulations of crossing the X River on the sand table...

"You child, your face-changing is really fast!"

Yuwen Hu witnessed this scene, couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, shook his head helplessly.

He paused and continued: "Additionally grant you the authority to mobilize all military and political affairs in Qinzhou, and the power to act at your discretion!"

Mobilize military and political affairs? Act at discretion? The treatment of Di Dudu?... Chen Yan was stunned, wild with joy in his heart, unable to hide his excitement, cupped his hands respectfully: "Thank you, Grand Chancellor!"

Combining the two powers, plus elite cavalry, what did it mean?

It meant controlling Qinzhou, being able to mobilize Qinzhou garrison troops, and controlling the life and death of the entire Qinzhou!

Even if he got the Inspector's wife pregnant, it would be within the scope of acting at discretion!

After setting foot on the land of Longxi, he would be the Supreme Emperor of Qinzhou!

Yuwen Hu restrained his smile, his gaze sharpened, and he said sternly: "You just go ahead and do it, still no limits. If anything happens, I will bear it for you!"

He paused and added: "Even if you kill until heads roll in Qinzhou..."

Yuwen Hu knew very well that as long as Chen Yan swung his butcher knife, the memorials impeaching this kid in the court would float in like snowflakes.

But he would protect him, withstand all pressure, and act as the most solid backing.

"This subordinate can set up a military pledge!"

Chen Yan cupped his hands, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly.

If the lord treats me as a national scholar, I should naturally repay him as a national scholar.

The Grand Chancellor was already so supportive, how could he, Chen Yan, drop the chain?

"No need for a military pledge!"

"I believe in your ability..."

Yuwen Hu stepped forward, helped Chen Yan up, and smiled.

This was his thousand-mile steed, how could he be bound by a military pledge?

Immediately, he turned his head to look outside the study and ordered: "Go call the Prince Heir."

"Yes." The personal guard on duty outside the study responded.

A moment later.

Yuwen Ze walked into the study tremblingly and saluted Yuwen Hu and Chen Yan: "Greet Father, greet A Xiong!"

Chen Yan blinked, and under the cover of the table, made a waving gesture.

Yuwen Hu leaned on the back of the chair, rotated his jade thumb ring, looked at his only son, and said: "A Ze, you will also follow A Yan to Qinzhou to quell the rebellion!"

"Yes."

Yuwen Ze nodded and responded.

He finally understood why his father would copy a secret report of the Qinzhou rebellion to him...

It was probably to let him have psychological preparation in advance.

Yuwen Hu cast his gaze toward Chen Yan and exhorted: "He is handed over to you, take good care of him!"

"Grand Chancellor, rest assured."

Chen Yan's expression was serious, and he promised: "This subordinate will definitely not let A Ze suffer the slightest damage!"

Yuwen Hu looked at his son, who was incomparably naive and still somewhat timid, sighed, and smiled: "A fledgling eagle under protection can never fly high. It is time for you to go out and venture, to see the world!"

He paused and continued: "It's just that places like brothels, you can go, but go less..."

"Don't be overly indulgent in lust, don't lose your ambition in playthings, understand?"

Yuwen Hu also came from that age, of course he understood that one still had to play, one couldn't suppress too hard, but one couldn't be too indulgent either.

Therefore, he still had to exhort a few words before leaving...

Father actually wasn't angry?!... When Yuwen Ze heard the word "brothel," he originally thought his father would be furious, but he didn't expect him to say that. He was greatly surprised and responded obediently: "Child understands."

Yuwen Hu nodded, stood up, and patted Yuwen Ze's shoulder, "When you are out, listen to A Yan in everything..."

"Don't be reckless, look more, learn more, and understand more!"

This son of his, his knowledge reserve is enough now, what he needs now is experience and tempering.

With Chen Yan leading, Yuwen Hu was very relieved.

"Yes." Yuwen Ze's eye sockets were slightly red, and he responded.

"Alright, I won't say much else..."

Yuwen Hu exhaled a turbid breath, waved his hand, and issued a "guest-expelling order": "Follow your A Xiong!"

"May you both return safely!"

Yuwen Hu was not a sentimental person usually, but with parting imminent, he couldn't help but exhort a few more words.

"Subordinate (Child) takes leave!"

Chen Yan and Yuwen Ze performed a salute and immediately turned and left.

After the two left, Gongyang Hui emerged from the secret chamber of the study and asked: "Grand Chancellor, is it too reckless to let the Prince Heir follow Mirror Keeper Chen to quell the rebellion?"

"This muddy water in Qinzhou is not as simple as it looks on the surface..."

Qinzhou has not only that mysterious organization, but also the interweaving of multiple huge forces.

Yuwen Hu pressed his jade thumb ring against his chin and smiled: "Precisely because of this, I want to test the quality of A Yan, this piece of gold..."

"And incidentally temper my incompetent son!"

Jade is not polished, it does not become a vessel.

The Qinzhou rebellion is an excellent whetstone.

"Subordinate understands."

Gongyang Hui nodded and reminded tactfully: "It's just that open spears are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against..."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Hu's eyes flashed with a different color, and he said: "So we still have to let the Dark Cloud Cavalry follow them secretly to ensure nothing goes wrong!"

"Gongyang, you go handle it..." ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
