Having received the imperial court's money and promised to set off, Lu Yuan certainly would not deceive anyone.
Isn't it just attracting the Miao People back to their army, guarding their old nest?
It's a small matter.
Lu Yuan's intention was to make his expedition a huge deal so that the more people who knew about it, the better.
With an army of 200,000 directly pressing down on them, would they be scared or not?
Moreover, not all of Lu Yuan's 200,000 soldiers were just for show.
Now, including civilian workers, the army has 120,000 people. When he arrives at Shaoyang Prefecture and meets Zhou Qing, the number of soldiers and horses will expand to nearly 150,000.
150,000 people, just 50,000 short of 200,000.
Having so many troops at the southern border of Wuling Prefecture, glaring at the old nest of the Poison Sect, Lu Yuan didn't believe that the Poison Sect could remain unmoved.

On the wide official road, smoke and dust filled the air.
