"The North has already been settled. Now they're sending me to suppress the Liu Kou rebels." Wang Linchi looked at Emperor Jing's decree in his hand and couldn't help but smile. Li Zheng stood to the side, not daring to speak.
"I'm giving you one thousand men from the Iron Wing Army. Do you think you can handle it?" Wang Linchi turned to Li Zheng.
"This... I'm not sure about that." Li Zheng was genuinely surprised that Wang Linchi dared to grant him military power. This was indeed beyond his expectations.
"Is it difficult?" Wang Linchi retorted. "The Liu Kou differ from the Hu Lu. Their rampant behavior is mainly due to external support. They are essentially a group of bandits, and their growth isn't like that of the Hu Lu. Instead, they excel at escaping and receiving insider information. If they were to engage in direct combat, they'd be no match whatsoever. Otherwise, one wouldn't be called Hu Lu and the other Liu Kou. The Hu Lu have already established a formal dynasty."
