I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 650: The Dragon Army is established

They went out and headed north together.

The Bai family lives in the inner city, which is mostly populated by dignitaries.

Along the way, Bai Wuan saw a lot of chaos. Many soldiers were moving through the streets, robbing officials and dignitaries and taking them as prisoners.

This is the fate of the loser, the price he should bear.

Bai Wuan originally thought that the whole city was like this, and wanted to persuade Guan Shouchang to restrain himself a little. However, he did not expect that after arriving at the outer city, it was harmonious and calm. Many people had even come out to play. Restaurants and shops were open, and peddlers were selling their wares with their loads on their shoulders.

The harmony of the outer city and the chaos of the inner city seem like two different worlds.

Bai Wuan sighed,

"The Yan army did not kill civilians, did not take their property, and did not harass them. This shows that they had strict military discipline."

Guan Shouchang smiled complacently and said,

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. The people who rule a country are the royal family and the powerful. If we want to destroy something, we should destroy them. The people have suffered so much from the war, they are so innocent. How can we harm them again?

Our Yan army has been on the march, our food and fodder have been exhausted, and we haven't taken a single grain from the people."

"I admire you. Only an army like this can be invincible."

"Okay, okay, stop flattering me. You should think about the name of your new legion quickly. Otherwise, when you go to the barracks to collect surrendered soldiers, you might not be able to answer when they ask you what the legion is called."

Hearing this, Bai Wuan thought for a moment and said,

"Dayan now has the Changning Army, the Weihu Army, the Tianyu Army, the Zhennan Army, the Pingnan Army, the Zhengnan Army, the Feiying Army, the Yuying Army, the Wushuang Army, the Baipao Army, and the 50,000-man White Horse Army, totaling eleven legions and 1.1 million people.

These names are all good, but it’s a bit difficult for me to choose a name.”

Guan Shouchang laughed and said,

"General Bai knows all about the Yan army."

"Your Highness has a saying that goes, 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll win every battle.' In the past, Bai and the Yan army were enemies, so naturally I need to get to know them better."

"How about you name your army the Wu'an Army? We'll use your name to bring peace to the world through military force."

Bai Wuan immediately shook his head and said,

"No, this army belongs to Dayan, not my private army. I am only the commander-in-chief appointed by the court to lead and manage the army. Anyone can take this position.

If it is named Wu'an Army, wouldn't that be telling the court that I, Bai Wuan, want to take this army for myself?

Why not call it the Longxiang Army, meaning it is like a dragon's head, powerful and mighty, and will enhance the reputation of Great Yan."

Guan Shouchang raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said,

"Longxiong Army, that's a pretty impressive name, meaning the head of a dragon. It seems that General Bai thinks your army is the leader of all the armies in Great Yan."

However, this time Bai Wuan was not modest, but said seriously,

"The fighting power of the Qin Ruishi is world-renowned. In my hands, this army will surely sweep away the enemy and be invincible."

"That's not necessarily true. My Mighty Tiger Army is also invincible."

Guan Shouchang said proudly while stroking his beard.

Bai Wuan chuckled and said nothing. He would just wait until they went to the battlefield and see who fought more fiercely.

Soon, they arrived at the military camp, and Guan Shouchang and Bai Wuan joined the crowd of surrendered soldiers.

Many of the surrendered soldiers had seen Bai Wuan before, and immediately recognized him, shouting in surprise,

"Great, it's Marshal Bai, we are saved!"

"Is Marshal Bai here to help us?"

"I am willing to fight with Marshal Bai. Marshal Bai is invincible."

"Yes, it's a pity that he was harmed by a tyrant emperor and treacherous ministers and was placed under house arrest. I didn't expect that the Yan people would release Marshal Bai."

"Are you really letting him go? He's not here to be locked up with us?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see the sword on Marshal Bai's waist? If he were a prisoner, how could he carry a sword?"

"Go and see."

"Let's go, let's see what Marshal Bai says."

As they rode forward, the soldiers along the way all walked towards the center of the parade ground.

They arrived at the platform for reviewing the generals, and many of the captured generals also came over, gathered in front of the platform, and looked up at Guan Shouchang, Bai Wuan, Huan Qi and others.

Bai Wuan's eyes turned red as he looked at the Qin soldiers below.

For the past six months, he has been under house arrest and has lost his military power. He has dreamed of returning to the battlefield many times, and now, his wish can finally come true.

He looked down and asked loudly,

"Comrades, do you know Bai?"

"know!"

The people below shouted in unison.

"I'm sure everyone has heard about Bai Mou's story. Bai Mou was devoted to his country and won every battle!

But that tyrant emperor and his corrupt officials stabbed me in the back in the court, forcing me to stay at home unemployed and shed tears every day.

Now, that foolish ruler and treacherous ministers, who were jealous of talented people and appointed incompetent generals, have caused the demise of our Great Qin.

The emperor no longer wanted the Qin State, and there was nothing Bai could do.

Now, thanks to the grace of Dayan, Bai is able to return to the military camp, fighting for a chance to survive for you, and also fighting for an opportunity for you to make achievements.

The Great Yan State is destined to rule the world, and no one can stop it.

The Emperor of Great Yan and Prince Lanling have granted me the qualification to independently establish a legion and appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the new army.

Our new legion is named Longxiang Army, which means the leader of all armies!

Everyone, the Great Qin has been through many hardships and is now completely gone, but the Qin people are still here. In order to prevent the people of the world from suffering from war in the future, we, the Qin people, must help the Great Yan unify the world and put an end to war.

Everyone, are you willing to follow me, conquer the world, protect the people, and achieve great things?!"

"willing!"

The Qin army below was full of enthusiasm, and their morale was much better than when they followed Zheng Ping'an.

"Will you all follow me and prove to the world that the Qin people are no worse than the Yan, Kun, Qi, and Liang peoples, and that the warriors of our great Qin are still invincible, advancing courageously and undefeated?"

"willing!"

"Everyone, unify the world, protect the country and the people, and achieve great things. This is the time to do so!"

"I am willing to follow the Marshal until death!"

All the soldiers knelt down and shouted.

This is the famous coach effect. When an invincible famous coach stands here, he can really get a hundred responses from his command. He only needs to raise his arm and thousands of troops will be willing to follow him. That name has infinite charm.

Soldiers would even prefer to follow a famous general rather than the emperor.

This is why emperors in all dynasties have been most wary of famous generals with high prestige.

Bai Wuan nodded and said,

"Alright, Bai is here. Thank you all for your hospitality. Everyone, please disperse. Generals, follow me. Once we have reorganized the troops, we will distribute weapons and provisions to you. Raise our banner, and we will become the new legion!"
