Emperor Minghua issued a decree to confer General Zuo as the commander-in-chief and Qin Huai as General Ping An. He led 100,000 troops to calm the chaos at the border.
Village Lord Yu was conferred the title of Military Governor. However, she only had an empty title and didn't have any real power.
In name, she could supervise General Ping An, but if General Ping An was unwilling to listen, she had no right to punish him.
Yes, everyone in the know knew that even if Village Lord Yu didn't have any title, General Ping An would still be willing to listen to her.
As for Commander Zuo.
A few old officials stepped into General Zuo's Mansion in private and congratulated him with a smile. "General Zuo, you used to despise us civil servants for being promoted and getting rich with our mouths. How do you feel now?"
General Zuo stroked his beard and snorted. "I'm different from you. This is a real battle!"
