In the past, the court rarely established governors; border towns only had governors and generals. Generally, only governors wielded the King's mandate token. During special periods, generals could also wield the King's mandate token.
Back then, when Yang Zhenshan set out from the Tenglong Guard to suppress Prince Qing and Ji Feiyu, he held the King's mandate token, while Governor Pang Tang did not. Therefore, at that time, Yang Zhenshan was the main commander, and Pang Tang could only handle logistics.
But now Zhou Lan also holds the King's mandate token, although Du Hesheng, appointed by the court as the governor of the three provinces and three towns, has a King's mandate token with much greater authority than Zhou Lan's.
But who is Zhou Lan, originating from the Duke Ning Mansion, leading troops for over thirty years—how could a mere King's mandate token scare her?
"Get lost!" Zhou Lan shouted in anger, not giving Du Hesheng any face.
