Chapter 126 Loss of Consciousness
Since the meeting that day, the Anbei Army under Ding Hai's command entered a stage of arduous internal training.
Apart from sending out spies from time to time to keep an eye on the development of the situation in the world, the entire Anbei Army seemed to have disappeared.
At the beginning, all the major forces, including the Zhou Dynasty, were somewhat skeptical that the Anbei Army would withdraw from the stage of the ambitious so easily.
But after several years without seeing the Anbei Army attack, people gradually stopped paying attention to the Anbei Army.
Because in this turbulent era, more heroes are becoming successful and rising.
Their deeds are louder and their power is more dazzling.
In the north, the royal family of Zhou Dynasty was still strong and powerful.
However, it is surrounded by vassal states supported by Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and has become a pile of dry bones in a tomb.
If we cannot convince Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism to reinvest in the Great Zhou, we will be doomed sooner or later.
In the south, the wealthy areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were controlled by a failed scholar named Ning Caichen under the guise of the King of Chu.
The land of the two lakes fell into the hands of a powerful man named Chen Shicheng. This man rose to power very quickly and was the first rebel king who did not use the name of the Zhou Dynasty. He was very popular among those who were dissatisfied with the Zhou Dynasty.
Fuzhou and Yuezhou, which are across the two lakes, are occupied by a force under the name of ancient Yue.
The man in charge was named Ren Xiong. He took advantage of the south's humid climate and undeveloped geographical advantages to lead a prosperous life.
Going south, the Nanzhao Kingdom, which had been destroyed by Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was pulled out by a man named Xu Baiyue and used as a banner.
The forces occupying Sichuan and Shu directly declared themselves emperors, and the country's name was still Zhou, but the person in charge was only related to the emperor sitting in Kyoto for nineteen generations.
There are only six or seven forces in the entire Great Zhou that are well-known and have the potential to pacify the world.
Among them, the royal family of the Great Zhou has the least hope, followed closely by the one from Sichuan and Shu.
This is because the world has suffered from the Zhou Dynasty for a long time, and both the people of the world and the numerous forces do not want the Great Zhou to revive.
Apart from the Great Zhou, the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Guyue Kingdom did not have much hope.
The two parties were located too far to the south, so they were at a disadvantage in terms of geographical location.
Secondly, the foundations of these two countries are not pleasing. Nanzhao Kingdom and Guyue Kingdom are already a thing of the past. Using these two names as country names has inherently lost the support of the people.
The person who has the best chance of completing the unification of the South is Ning Caichen, followed by Chen Shicheng. As for the North, it depends on the outcome of the confrontation between Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
Youzhou, Shangdang.
Looking at the golden farmland in front of him, Ding Hai showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Next to him, a handsome man in short brown clothes and cloth shoes was opening his mouth and drinking boiled water from the gourd in his hand in big gulps.
After finishing the whole gourd of boiled water, the handsome man wiped the sweat from his forehead and greeted Ding Hai respectfully, "Grandfather, you are usually very busy, how come you have time to come and see your grandson today?"
The person who spoke was Ding Hai's adopted grandson Wang Yu. After a few years, he had grown into a handsome young man.
It was a rare opportunity for Ding Hai to smile at his adopted grandson, so he said to him with appreciation, "It's not like I came all the way to see you.
The construction of the new countryside has started, and I am inspecting the territory to see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted or modified.
When I came to Shangdang, I remembered that you were also participating in the practice here, so I turned around to see if you were slacking off.
Now it seems that you are quite good. Sooner or later, all the assets I have built will be passed on to you.
You may not be a saintly ruler, but you must not be a fool who knows nothing and only follows what others say. "
Wang Yu was very happy to hear his grandfather's praise for him. He only had this grandfather as his relative. When he was young, his grandfather would hold him on his back and ride horses to watch the stars, and teach him to write and practice martial arts, so that they could share the warmth of family love.
But as I grew up, the kind and gentle grandfather of the past disappeared, and a grandfather who was very strict with me appeared.
Under the guidance of the master invited by his grandfather, Wang Yu began to gain some insights.
His identity has changed, from a young child sitting at his grandfather's knees listening to stories to a successor carrying thousands of miles of territory and the hopes of millions of subjects.
Without the subjects of this vast territory, his Wang family would not have been as powerful as it is today.
Without such power, his Wang family and Wang Yu would be just tools in the eyes of Emperor Zhou that could be thrown to his close confidants to play with at any time.
Therefore, he could not blame his grandfather for being strict with him, because he was being responsible to the subjects who submitted to their royal family in this vast land, and he was also responsible for his own life.
“Grandfather, you are overpraising me. I owe my success to you.
Moreover, in this agricultural practice, although my grandson's performance is in the upper reaches, it is far from being outstanding." Although he looked very pleased, Wang Yu still told Ding Hai the truth.
"It's rare that you are still so modest and prudent, that's good.
In addition, you don't need to underestimate yourself. It is true that a king must be knowledgeable about farming, but there is no need to be the best in the world in this area.
I just happened to meet you today. Tell me what you think about the two policies of new rural construction and agricultural reform. "
When Wang Yu heard his grandfather asking him to evaluate the pros and cons of the two policies of new rural construction and agricultural reform, he pondered for a moment.
As the only successor to the Anbei Army, he was often questioned by his teachers about policies.
After thinking about it in his mind for a while, he slowly said, "Grandfather, in my opinion, the construction of new countryside and agricultural reform are the most important things for our Anbei Army in the near future.
Mr. Zhuge once said: In the frontier grasslands, if you want to get rich, first build roads, have more children, and plant more trees.
I think this sentence is very correct. The territory of our Anbei Army is currently at a stage where the area is vast and the population is sparse.
This is a very bad phenomenon, which shows that our Anbei Army’s control and development of the territory has not reached its peak.
The two policies of new rural construction and agricultural reform can easily solve this problem.
The main body of new rural construction is roads. The roads we build with cement are strong, durable and not easy to damage. They are suitable for vehicles and horses to pass regardless of wind or rain.
In this way, the communication between the various rural areas under its jurisdiction and our Anbei Army has been greatly enhanced.
The agricultural products that had originally been left to rot in their hands were transformed into various supplies to improve their lives with the intervention of the Grain Bureau and merchants.
Only when their lives improve and they no longer have to worry about food, clothing and other expenses will these ordinary people living in rural areas open their eyes and see the world today.
Under the lure of profit and the guidance of the spirit of getting ahead in our territory, there will always be people among these people who are willing to leave their homes and go to those seemingly cold and uninhabited places to open up wasteland and make money.
With this combination of measures, combined with the various preferential policies we have introduced, the living standards of the people under our rule will be greatly improved.
Seven years ago, when we first started the education reform to broaden people's knowledge, the warehouses in our Anbei Army were so large that even mice would cry.
Today, the two policies of new rural construction and agricultural reform have only been implemented for less than two years, and our Anbei Army’s warehouses are already filled with money, grain and cloth.
This is enough to prove that under your wise leadership, grandfather, our Anbei Army has embarked on the right path.
Wait a few more years until the benefits of education reform bear fruit.
I believe that even if our Anbei Army only uses a small army, it is enough to sweep away all the rebels in the world. The Xiongnu who have already escaped from Mobei and fled to the Western Regions are the best example. "
Looking at Wang Yu who was talking eloquently, Ding Hai nodded with satisfaction.
By raising his grandson like this, he has done his best to live up to his predecessor.
Just as Ding Hai was about to pass on some of his experience in governing to his adopted grandson, a figure dressed in black rode a horse galloping over from a distance and handed Ding Hai a letter sealed with wax.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Yu instantly understood what he should do next.
The person who came was the Black Envoy under my grandfather's command. This department was specialized in gathering intelligence and monitoring the world.
They don't listen to anyone except their own grandfather.
"Grandfather, I still have some unfinished business, so I won't bother you from handling military and national affairs."
After taking a look at Wang Yu who left respectfully, Ding Hai became even more satisfied with this cheap grandson.
Know when to advance and when to retreat, and know how to respect the rules.
very good!
Looking away, Ding Hai looked at the envelope in his hand.
After opening the envelope and unfolding the letter inside, Ding Hai quickly took in all the contents written on the letter.
As the most confidential document under the Anbei Army, there is not much content recorded in this letter, but the information contained in it did surprise Ding Hai and give him a headache.
In Guanzhong, the three forces of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism reached a compromise yesterday and prepared to raid the Zhou royal hall today to completely destroy the last bit of the Zhou royal family's strength.
As for the subsequent distribution of benefits, the three forces decided based on their own means.
If all goes well for these three forces, the Zhou Dynasty might now be a thing of the past.
For now, Ding Hai does not want the Zhou Dynasty to fall.
As long as the Zhou Dynasty existed, the world was still nominally unified.
In this way, the legal system of checks and balances in various places will not become a blank slate.
Although smoke of war rose in various places, the war did not spread all over the country.
Because the orthodox name of the Zhou Dynasty will be a sword hanging over the heads of all the rebel kings. Once these rebel kings go too far, the people under their command will vote with their feet and welcome the arrival of the royal army.
Without the threat of the Zhou Dynasty, which held the sword of orthodoxy, the rebel kings within the pass would probably begin to stir and try every possible means to expand their territories.
Once these rebel kings go to war with each other, the wealthy areas within the Great Wall will be destroyed in an instant.
It is easy to destroy but difficult to control.
After unifying the world, I don’t know how much it would cost to restore those wastelands to a prosperous state.
Thinking of the destruction that the upcoming anti-king war would bring, Ding Kai was overwhelmed.
However, no matter how big a headache it is, this matter still needs to be dealt with: "Reply to Zhuge, in terms of military affairs, our Anbei Army can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
In the civil field, we opened up channels for immigration, gathered civilians who came to join the army, and organized them to go to the cold and uninhabited areas such as the south and north of the desert, to implement the military settlement system to develop local resources.
In addition, the Seventh Army, which is currently training at the Mobei border, will be recalled. The Seventh Army has a lot of green hands, and it is not a good idea to keep attacking the countries in the Western Regions to train themselves.
If there are signs that a certain force in the North is growing stronger, let Yang Yanzhao lead the Seventh Army's fresh soldiers to attack and train!"
"promise."
After receiving Ding Hai's reply, the black-clad messenger who had been bowing and waiting for Ding Hai's reply immediately turned around, mounted his horse and galloped away.
After crushing the letter into dust, Ding Hai boarded the carriage that had been prepared long ago and headed to the next inspection location according to the original plan.
The fall of the Zhou Dynasty and the chaos that would follow in the world were not enough to make him change his plans and turn things around.
After seven years of development, the Anbei Army is now a completely different place. The southern and northern parts of the desert and Liaodong regions have been completely taken over by the Anbei Army.
As for the control over these three places, the Anbei Army has been able to achieve the same level as that over You and Bing states.
Not only that, even the Western Regions, which the Huns had not yet completely taken over, had now become the back garden of the Anbei Army.
You can come in when you want to, and leave when you want to.
In terms of military strength, the Anbei Army, which occupied a vast area of land, had a total of seven light and heavy armored cavalry, with a total of 150,000 troops.
These 150,000 troops are the elite selected by Ding Hai from the best of the best.
The grass-roots officers are all martial artists, the middle-level generals must be at the acquired realm, most of the famous officers are innate martial artists, and the senior generals of the seven field armies all possess strength comparable to the Yin Shen realm.
Among them, General Yan Chixia of the First Army and General Xiahou Wu of the Second Army are the strongest.
In terms of realm, he even surpasses the current Ding Hai and can be called a true lord.
However, even if the two of them joined forces, they could not last more than a hundred moves in Ding Hai's hands.
In a one-on-one fight, he would be beaten to the point of being unable to take care of himself in less than ten moves.
In addition, the Anbei Army also has reserve forces and militia stationed in various places, with a total force of about 200,000.
Never underestimate these reservists and militia.
Although their strength is not as good as those of the seven field armies, they are definitely a top-notch force among all the princes in the world.
There will be absolutely no problem in suppressing those rebel kings who have just risen to power and have little foundation.
After traveling a long way, Ding Hai finally returned to the county magistrate's office in March of the following year.
Although government affairs were handled through various means of communication along the way, when Ding Hai returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it still took him three days to finish all the government affairs at hand.
Stretching lazily and looking at the sky in the east which was about to get brighter, he gave up the idea of taking a nap, washed himself, and walked to the lobby.
Looking at the civil and military officials standing on both sides, he sat down on the seat in the center of the hall with his horse and sword.
"Your Highness greets you, General."
"Your Highness, I have seen you."
Two different kinds of worship rang out after Ding Hai sat down.
Although Ding Hai was not interested in these red tape and etiquette, he knew that they were necessary and did not say much: "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Yes." ×?
"General, I have something to report: the power struggle in the northern border of the pass has come to an end. According to the analysis of the Military Intelligence Department, Fu Qingzhu, who comes from a Confucian family, is likely to have the last laugh.
The general and I have met Fu Qingzhu before. We know that he has great ambitions. If he were to unify the northern border of Guanzhong, it would not be a good thing for our Anbei Army. Therefore, I think it is time for the Seventh Army led by General Yang Yanzhao to move. This battle is not to sweep across the northern border, but to make sure that no one in the northern border has the momentum to unify the country. "Zhuge Wulong, holding a memorial, was the first to jump out and report on his work.
Zhuge Liang's proposal was similar to Ding Hai's original instructions, so Ding Hai nodded directly to show his agreement.
After getting Ding Hai's consent, Zhuge Wulong did not retreat. As the steward of the Anbei Army, he had more than one thing to report to Ding Hai.
“General, after seven years of implementation, the universal education system has produced initial results. Although it has not yet achieved self-sufficiency, its dependence on government subsidies has been greatly reduced.
Qianliangchen has a suggestion for the surplus financial funds, which is to increase investment in infrastructure within the territory.
If you want to get rich, first build roads, have more children, and plant more trees. This strategy has been tested over the years and has not been wrong.
There are many rich places in the world that have been turned into wasteland by those rebel kings. After we unify the world, we don’t know how much manpower and resources we will have to invest in these places.
If you want to truly unite the people, it is definitely not wrong to have more children and store up more food now."
After the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, the people under the command of those rebel kings were all marked with the marks of those rebel kings, whether they liked it or not.
This would have a very adverse impact on the Anbei military regime that would unify the country in the future. After all, no one knew how many of these people would miss the time when they lived under the rule of the anti-king.
Therefore, in order to prevent possible rebellion, it is better to have more people who are loyal to the Anbei Army.
As for how to achieve this, of course it is to let the people who are in the same mind with me earn more money so that they can support their families and have children!
"Zhuge's proposal is a plan for the country. If there is no emergency, the funds left over from the education reform should be invested!" After deciding on the use of the idle funds, Ding Hai turned his gaze to the other civil and military officials on the scene.
Soon, another person stood up and reported to Ding Hai with a memorial in his hand: "General, although the people under our Anbei Army have no worries about food and clothing, and don't have to worry about starving to death one day, they are powerless in the face of disease.
The year before last, during the plague in Mobei, even though our soldiers were brave and fearless and dared to go deep into the epidemic area to carry out various rescue tasks, 300,000 people still died of the disease.
At the beginning of this year, a large-scale typhoid fever broke out in Jiuyuan County. So far, more than three thousand people have fallen ill from typhoid fever.
If our Anbei Army cannot find an effective way to deal with these diseases, once a large-scale infectious disease breaks out in our territory in the future, I am afraid it will shake the foundation of our Anbei Army's rule! "
Ding Kai knew about the two epidemics that the reporter mentioned, but to be honest, Ding Kai currently had no good solutions.
When the first epidemic broke out in his territory, he introduced targeted policies.
First, he added medicine to the teaching system, and then ordered his famous doctors to conduct research on various diseases in order to find accurate treatments.
Not only that, he also promoted the culture of personal hygiene and legalized the hygiene system in public places.
In order to fundamentally strengthen the physique of his people, he even ignored the opposition of his ministers and made public some of the most basic martial arts techniques, allowing his people to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies.
It can be said that he has done everything that can be done in the field of medical care in this era, and even exceeded it.
But he still couldn't overcome the limitations of the times and prevent large-scale infectious diseases from happening again in the world.
After all, you can’t expect ancient times, with their backward productivity, to accomplish something that countless modern antibiotics have failed to fully accomplish.
Touching his forehead with his hand, indicating that he already knew about the matter and would pay special attention to it, Ding Hai asked the person who reported it to leave.
Since this matter could not be accomplished due to the limitations of the times, he could only try to make things vague.
After spending a whole morning, Ding Hai finally solved all the problems one by one.
At noon, in the pavilion in the backyard of the county magistrate's mansion.
Ding Hai and Zhuge Wulong sat together for a rare drink.
It was impossible for the two of them to talk about trivial matters when sitting together. Their conversation was still mainly about various political affairs, but the atmosphere was a little more relaxed.
After taking a sip of the clear white wine in his hand, Zhuge Wolong smiled and said to Ding Hai: "The former Emperor Zhou was short-sighted.
Banishing the general to this frontier is like sending him flying into the sea. If he knew about this in the underworld, he would be very upset. "
Ding Hai smiled and accepted Zhuge Liang's flattery, but he did not take it seriously. After all, it was his predecessor who was exiled, not him.
After expressing his respect as a subordinate, Zhuge Liang did not continue the topic.
He did not get promoted by flattery. It was enough to show his attitude to his master. There was no need to go into details.
"General, what do you think about Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism?
When our Anbei Army marches south, they may not surrender."
After picking up a piece of mutton and putting it into his stomach, Ding Hai gave a nonchalant reply.
“In my opinion, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism cannot be lumped together.
The six sects of Buddhism are now harboring filth and dirt, and must be cleansed.
Those small branches that abide by the law and regulations can be carefully screened and some can be left as dogs.
Moreover, we must learn the lesson of the demise of the Zhou Dynasty and vigorously tame those Buddhists who are willing to be dogs.
Let their teachings only have the positive side, and eliminate the content related to wine, sex, money, power, military and politics.
Since their Buddha said that it is best to always be with the ancient Buddha and the green lamp, let this principle become the benchmark for future generations of Buddhism!
If the other two of the three Taoist sects do not appear in the upcoming fight for the dragon, there is no need to pay attention to them.
If these two sects emerge, they will be included in the sect management methods, and those small sects and schoolways will be dealt with in the same way as these two sects.
Those who follow the will survive, those who go against it will perish.
Xuanxin Zhengzong gave them a chance to surrender for Chixia's sake.
If they can seize the opportunity to integrate into our Anbei Army, we will treat them equally. If they don't know what's good for them, there's no need to worry and we will deal with them as we should.
As for the four Confucian academies, if they are willing to take the initiative to eliminate the dross and change the teaching content in order to join our education system.
In the initial stage, they can be given the qualifications to run a provincial school, and they can be treated equally when it comes to entering the officialdom.
If they don't know what's best for them and still keep complaining in the same old way, we'll just run over their dead bodies.
We are different from all previous dynasties. We do not need Confucian scholars to become generals or ministers to help us govern the world.
Saints are saints, and they are them. Don’t confuse them. "
After hearing Ding Hai's last words of warning, Zhuge Liang put away the little thoughts in his heart.
Although he was also a Confucian scholar, according to his general's plan, he really could not help the four major academies.
After the pot of wine was finished, Zhuge Wulong left the backyard of the county magistrate's mansion.
After watching Zhuge Liang go away, Ding Hai sighed and put down the wine glass in his hand.
With a touch of magic power, a complex and sophisticated formation rose from the backyard.
Looking at the formation that had already been completed in front of him, Ding Hai was so worried that his head was about to explode.
This formation, which was jointly developed by him, Zhang Zhiwei and two others, is extremely effective in finding people.
When the three of them were testing in the mortal world, even the immortals on earth could not escape their tracking.
But in Guixu, since the day this formation was perfected, it has never found the person that Ding Hai wanted to find.
Mazu couldn’t be found, and neither could Qingsong Zhenren and others.
This situation almost worried Ding Hai to death.
Moreover, he also suffered a serious setback.
The consciousness that resided in the poisonous incarnation of anger lost contact with the main consciousness in the human world for some unknown reason one morning.
In other words, Ding Hai was actually trapped in Guixu.
The loss of consciousness trapped in this clone will not endanger his original body.
If I hadn't realized that there was something wrong with this little world after I realized that the world was in chaos, I would have felt like it was about to collapse.
Ding Hai even wants to overturn the table and use nuclear weapons to cause a big commotion, just to see how deep the water in this world is.
In early summer, the heat rises.
Ding Hai, who was inspecting in Mobei and taking time off for summer vacation, received a unique memorial.
Someone is leading a group of people to attack the Anbei Army!
This news made Ding Hai laugh for a long time before he recovered.
It would be fine if the Anbei Army under his command did not go out to provoke others, but it is unbelievable that someone dared to come and touch him!
"General, the invading man is named Xue Ju, who calls himself the Overlord of Western Qin. He was originally a powerful tyrant in the Longxi area.
After the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, he gathered people and raised an army. This man's military talent was indeed quite impressive. Within three months, he took over the entire Longxi territory.
Two months ago, he defeated Zhang Jue, the leader of the Taiping Army in Longyou, which was controlled by the Taoist sect. His troops once approached the capital and were invincible. Fu Qingzhu, who occupied the capital, was so frightened that he almost abandoned the city and fled.
However, the Western Qin Overlord unexpectedly did not attack the capital, but retreated to Longyou on the pretext of being unwell? "
The person who answered in front of Ding Hai was General Yang Yanzhao of the Seventh Army. Relying on his young age, great abilities and the fact that he grew up under Ding Hai's nose, this naughty boy is sometimes even more stubborn in front of Ding Hai than his cheap grandson Wang Yu.
He was much more tolerant of this naughty monkey Ding Hai who was always jumping up and down: "Feeling unwell? That's just a lie. If I'm not mistaken, it must be the Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism that took action.
However, since he was able to survive the clutches of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, this Overlord of Western Qin seemed to be quite capable.
He just lacked some foundation, otherwise the king's flag might have to be changed on the city walls of those prefectures in the northern border of the Great Wall.
I don't know what he was thinking. Since he couldn't chew the hard persimmon, he came to chew our steel gun. It seems that the achievements made by the Seventh Army when it went out of the border were not recognized by those people inside the border?
Yu'er, Yan Zhao, I have a mission for you two. Take down the Western Qin Overlord who came to attack us. I want him to be called the king of Longxi."
Wang Yu, who had been following Ding Hai since the end of the year, was extremely excited when he heard that his grandfather was finally starting to get him involved in military and national affairs.
Yang Yanzhao, who was assigned to carry out the mission with Wang Yu, was also very happy. His father was a general's household general, and he grew up in the county magistrate's mansion since he was a child. He and Wang Yu, the major general, were childhood friends.
Now, seeing that this friend he had grown up with finally got the recognition from the person he cared about most, how could Yang Yanzhao not be happy.
"I will definitely live up to the general's trust."
"I will capture Xue Ju and make him bow before grandfather."
With high morale and fighting spirit, the cheap grandson Wang Yu and the naughty boy Yang Yanzhao ran away.
After watching the two little ones leave the base, Ding Hai said quietly to an empty dark place in the lobby: "Send some good people to follow the young general and be careful of the immortals from the three sects of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism sneaking in."
There was no response. There was only a tiny, almost imperceptible fluctuation in the space in that dark corner, and then there was no movement.
But Ding Hai withdrew his gaze and knew that there were at least dozens of innate warriors proficient in the two skills of protection and assassination, as well as several masters whose strength was comparable to that of Yin Shen, hiding around his cheap grandson.
The Overlord of Western Qin was indeed a talent, when the Seventh Army led by Wang Yu and Yang Yanzhao had not yet arrived at the battlefield.
The reserve troops and militia near Longxi were actually defeated by him with a grand battle, and they could only be trapped in the isolated city and wait for reinforcements.
Well, the four words "grand array" refer to the ratio of two hundred thousand to thirty thousand.
Ding Hai expressed his understanding of the defeat of the 30,000 reservists and militia.
After all, the 200,000-strong army of the Overlord of Western Qin was not just a boast. Excluding the civilians in charge of logistics and the elderly, the weak and the disabled, his combat-capable army totaled 120,000.
Facing a Western Qin army that was four times larger than their own, the defeat of the 30,000 reservists and militia was not shameful.
However, relying on the overwhelming numbers, the Western Qin Overlord might be able to defeat the Anbei Army's reserve and militia with a "grand formation".
However, if he ran into the seven light and heavy cavalry units of the Anbei Army, even the Seventh Army at the back would probably suffer a crushing defeat.
Once the light and heavy troops and cavalry, all composed of warriors, launched a charge, Xue Ju's 200,000-strong Longxi army, a mixed bag of good and bad men, would have no chance of fighting back.
The fact was exactly as Ding Hai had expected. After Xue Bawang, who was in great glory at the beginning of the invasion, encountered the Seventh Army, his arrogance was quickly discouraged.
His 200,000-strong Longxi army was easily penetrated by the Seventh Army's defense circle.
Wang Yu, the cheap grandson who was eager to make a contribution and did not want to cooperate with Xue Bawang's performance, broke through Xue Bawang's encirclement and almost captured the Western Qin Bawang alive on the spot, leaving him feeling chilled to the bone.
Seeing that his 200,000-strong army was beaten to the point where it had no power to fight back by the Seventh Army of the Anbei Army, the Overlord of Western Qin immediately wanted to retreat back to Longxi to continue being his local emperor.
But Wang Yu, his adopted grandson who had promised Ding Hai that he would capture him and make him submit to him, would not let Xue Bawang escape so easily.
After being chased all the way, the cheap grandson led his troops directly across the border and entered Longxi, fulfilling Ding Hai's second request to him.
Seven years later, the Anbei Army once again showed their swords and, just like before, they still accomplished feats that astonished the world.
The Overlord of Western Qin, who once made all the princes in the northern border tremble in fear, has fallen!
The rebel kings in the North, who had been closely following the development of this incident, felt as if a huge stone had finally been lifted from their hearts when they heard that Xue Ju had failed.
But when they heard that Xue Ju had been defeated so miserably, the rebel kings in the North all felt sympathetic and prepared various gifts to congratulate Ding Hai on his 50th birthday and wish him great fortune and happiness.
To be honest, even Ding Hai, who inherited part of the memory of his predecessor, couldn't remember what year his previous life was. I didn't expect that the flatterers like the Northern Rebel King could still remember it.
It's not easy.
The desire to survive of these northern rebel kings is really overwhelming.
