Chapter 1094 Self-Reflection

Passing through the magnificent south gate of Panlong City, everyone subconsciously took a deep breath.

Finally back again!

He Lingchuan has traveled all over the world in reality and has been to so many places, but only Panlong City has the most unique temperament and atmosphere, which makes people feel solemn as soon as they enter.

This majestic city really represents too much and bears too much.

The guards guarding the city saluted He Lingchuan, and the flowing crowd greeted He Lingchuan.

Almost everyone knows that he is here-

Except for foreign merchants.

There was also a young man who saw him and his eyes lit up: "Commander He, Commander He!"

He also proudly said to his companions: "Commander He wrote a word for my family's store!"

What words did he write? He Lingchuan couldn't remember, but he could feel the boy's admiration and enthusiasm.

He felt warm in his heart and reached out to rub the boy's head.

The people of Yuheng City and the top leaders of Panlong City didn't like him, but the soldiers and civilians of Panlong City always respected him as a combat hero, even though he had been away for so long.

After entering the city, He Lingchuan had to report to Zhong Shengguang, while Sun Fuling went to Shumin Academy to do business.

The two of them parted ways temporarily, and He Lingchuan went to the government office.

He met countless acquaintances on the way, all of whom greeted him with a smile, enthusiastic, sincere and friendly.

Panlongcheng treated him like this, serious and enthusiastic, strict but friendly.

After entering the government office, Zhong Shengguang waved to He Lingchuan when he saw him:

"You came just in time."

Zhong Shengguang's appearance has not changed much in the past six months, except that there are two more white hairs on his temples.

He Lingchuan came back to report on his work. Panlongcheng is raising more than just Tianheyuan ranch. If Tianhe Ranch develops smoothly, the experience will be fully promoted in the future.

After half a year, Zhong Shengguang summoned him back to the city again. He Lingchuan knew that his horse herding career was over, so this time the instructions were particularly detailed.

In fact, he would compile and report every month. But this time Zhong Shengguang still sat in the main seat and listened, and there was a bookkeeper beside him who recorded carefully.

After He Lingchuan finished his report, seeing that Zhong Shengguang hadn't spoken for a long time, he had to open his mouth and say, "I heard that the western front has won another great victory?"

Zhong Shengguang seemed to come back to his senses and smiled, "Yes. Although General Hong is not on the front line, our army still took over Baicheng, Tongwei and Puhe. We drove the Xianyou army to the north of Puhe. Relying on this natural barrier, they can't invade the south again in a short time."

He Lingchuan was moved.

In the past year, Panlong City not only took back the desert territory that was previously occupied, but also strongly counterattacked Baling and Xianyou, and even swallowed up a large area of ​​Xianyou. Now that Puhe has been occupied, the territory of Xianyou can be reduced by half compared to four years ago!

"Also, we have two more allies in the west, and the contract has been signed. In the future, we will cooperate with each other and join forces to resist the enemy."

He Lingchuan immediately said, "Congratulations, Commander."

In addition to Baling, there are several small countries in the west of Panlong Desert. Originally, they were coerced by Baling and had a tense relationship with Panlong City.

Now, as the iron hoof of Panlongcheng's army expands outward, especially after stepping on Xianyou and conquering two disobedient small countries, the attitudes of the remaining countries towards Panlongcheng are changing rapidly.

Some have responded to the pressure and become more radical and angry.

Some have changed their ways and tried to build good relations with Panlongcheng.

Panlongcheng helped them figure it out: Beijia, who is far away in the sky, can't help them, and Xiqie is a lesson from the past.

In troubled times, the waist must be soft.

This time, the two small countries that joined have made up their minds to change a thigh to hug.

So far, the situation of Panlongcheng being surrounded by enemies has been slowly opened up.

To the east, it annexed Xiqie and transformed it into its own land of fish and rice.

To the west, it annexed two small countries, showed off its muscles, and improved relations with several neighbors.

To the north, it occupied a large area of ​​Xianyou's territory.

Once the army is strong, Panlongcheng can't suppress its instinct to expand its territory and strengthen its military. Unconsciously, its area has approached half of Xiluo Kingdom.

This is definitely not just a "small place".

Zhong Shengguang is not just the leader of a city.

He Lingchuan felt greater ambition and planning from him.

Zhong Shengguang waved his hand: "This is just the beginning?"

He walked to the wall and personally poured a cup of hot water for He Lingchuan. The latter took it with both hands and drank it all.

"Why send you to Tianheyuan to herd horses, do you understand?"

He Lingchuan nodded: "I understand. You let me stay out of the limelight for a while and think about it carefully."

Zhong Shengguang demoted him instead of rewarding him, and let him go to Tianheyuan to herd horses for half a year, just to calm down the anger of other senior officials in Panlong City.

"What do you feel?"

At first, He Lingchuan was unconvinced. But later, he looked at the vast sky and land on the grassland, facing the mountain breeze blowing flowers and leaves, and finally calmed down.

"I have benefited a lot." He Lingchuan said seriously, "What I did in Yuheng City was not only reckless, but also arrogant."

"Two things." Zhong Shengguang sat back, "You recruited the water bandits as road managers, which was indeed a good move, but the people of Yuheng City were angry, and you failed to guide them well. You must know that soldiers cannot defeat great troubles, and those who cannot win the hearts of the people are also."

As the commander of a city, He Lingchuan certainly had his own strategic considerations in making plans. But what the residents of Yuheng City saw at that time was that the murderous bandits of Longchuan were not only not punished, but also took away the taxes they paid from Yuheng City and the hard-earned money they worked hard for.

How could this make them calm?

"For the sake of convenience, you even squeezed out Deputy Ambassador Wen. If you can work well with him and let him resolve the people's grievances, the people of Yuheng City will feel less ill-will towards you."

He Lingchuan smiled bitterly.

He deliberately squeezed Wen Daolun away in order to save his life and reverse the situation.

But he couldn't say anything, so he could only say: "Mr. Wen really loves the people as his own son, but I was careless and arrogant at the time."

Later facts also proved that he drove away Wen Daolun, but he could not drive away fate.

He Lingchuan has reviewed the situation many times in the past six months. Is there a better and more rounded solution to this matter?

Of course there is.

But he didn't think much of it at that time. He thought that his starting point was for the good of Yuheng City and Wen Daolun, and that was enough.

"The second thing!" Zhong Shengguang's tone also became stern, "You actually used Yuheng City as bait to lure Fu Shanlie into a sneak attack! You knew that he would come for a sneak attack, but as the overall commander, you actually left the city without permission!"

"What if you didn't have time to rush back to Yuheng City? What if Fu Shanlie had a powerful backhand and knocked on the door of Yuheng City while you were away?" Zhong Shengguang asked him, "Are you 100% sure that you can defeat him? he?"

He Lingchuan shook his head.

There are most surprises on the battlefield, so how can you ever be 100% sure?

"If you face such a consequence, what are you going to do to remedy it? Do you know the principle of 'a handsome man never comes out lightly'? In that case, even the Red General would not dare to leave his post without permission."
