The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Who says women are inferior to men? Look at me, Wang Yuanya, I am the best among women. I now occupy the land of Jingchu and have an army of 100,000.

It’s no exaggeration to say…

Wang Yuanya feels that her life has reached its climax and she is completely comparable to Li Jize!

So what about Li Jize?

And you chased me away? Now you see? I have a territory as big as yours, and I have as many soldiers as you.

When Wang Yuanya felt a little bit elated, the senior brother Yan Anxun and the Liangshan hero Chen Xiaodao in the team vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Before, they were just causing chaos in Ji'an, but the chaos gradually expanded and spread, and finally, like a prairie fire, it burned the entire Jingchu.

why?

Why didn't the barbarians react at all, just sitting back and watching them rebel, and were they planning to expand into the entire Jingchu?

There's something fishy! There really is something fishy!

So they did not become complacent like Wang Yuanya, but instead continued to release intelligence privately to find out what was happening outside.

soon……

The intelligence came back. A little brother, with an arrow stuck in his back, came running in panicked, "Report! Report! It's bad, it's bad! The barbarians have sent a large army to encircle us."

"what?"

Hearing this, Wang Yuanya, who was originally happy about her great achievement, was suddenly frightened and almost fell off her seat. Her first reaction was, how could the enemy come so quickly?

Yan Anxun and Chen Xiaodao didn’t think so. Instead, they felt that the barbarians came too slowly, but they finally came!

I don’t know how torturous it is to have this sword hanging over my head all the time, but now, they are finally here.

Seeing his apprentice sister already terrified, Yan Anxun immediately jumped out and asked the spy, "How many people are there?"

“Three…three hundred thousand!”

"what?"

When the spy said this, everyone at the scene was furious.

Are you kidding me? Where the hell did the barbarians get 300,000 men? If they really had that many men, they would have pushed all the way to the other side long ago, not to mention the entire north.

Chen Xiaodao quickly scolded him, "Nonsense! Where did the barbarians get 300,000 troops? Could it be that they only have 30,000 and claim to have 300,000?"

It's really possible! In ancient wars, the specific number of troops was usually just a feint.

The soldier was also embarrassed and shook his head. He said helplessly, "My lord, I don't know the exact number of troops, but... judging from the enemy's formation and the front and rear troops, it is definitely over 30,000."

"this……?"

How could it be possible that there were over 30,000 of them? Did the barbarians send all their troops here?

Or……

The main force of the barbarians is coming?

If it is the former, why didn't the Qin army in Qingzhou take this opportunity to continue the attack and threaten the opponent's capital in one fell swoop?

If it is the latter, and the main force of the barbarians is coming, what's the point of fighting?

What kind of existence is the main force of the barbarians? They are an existence that even the Qi army, the righteous army, and even the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry cannot defeat. And they are just a bunch of misfits? They'd better run for their lives as soon as possible!

Seeing the people around him start to panic, Wang Yuanya was also a little at a loss. "What should I do? What should I do?"

Yan Anxun: "Don't worry, Junior Sister! I recently received some news that may be helpful to everyone."

Immediately...

Yan Anxun told everyone about the barbarians' new policy, which allowed gentry from all over the country to recruit soldiers, and everyone was stunned.

"Have you ever considered that the main force of the barbarians is fighting the rebels on the border, while the second Qi army of the barbarians is fighting the Qin army? Just ask! Where did they mobilize the troops to quell the rebellion? It must be these new troops!"

"So, damn it! The barbarians are looking down on us and want to use us as a training ground."

One of the bearded men was the leader of one of the rebel armies and was also at the meeting. He was about to flee, but after hearing what Yan Anxun said...

He thought there was no need to run away! Maybe he could still fight back.

After all, they just started the rebellion and have finally accumulated this little bit of troops, but if they just run away, they will be very depressed, right?

The reason why we brothers followed you in the rebellion was to win the battle, to have the best food and the girls.

You've been taking them all over the world, which is really damaging to morale. Now, what's there to be afraid of when you hear that the enemy isn't the main force, or even the Second Qi Army, but just a bunch of newbies with no combat experience like them?

At the very least, they had killed the barbarian county magistrate and those yamen runners, right?

But Chen Xiaodao doesn't think so. He comes from the military system and knows a lot about the military.

In the army of the Great Qi, who are the most capable fighters? It has never been the soldiers who were conscripted or recruited, but rather the "household servants" of each general.

Servants are different from ordinary soldiers. They are the private property of generals and often defend the rights of the family head.

If there was a conflict between the emperor and the head of the family, these guys would probably kill the emperor without hesitation.

The same goes for the soldiers recruited by these gentry. This is their own private property. How could they recruit weaklings? To put it bluntly, a large part of these servants may be retired veterans.

"This battle is not easy! Besides, we don't even know the enemy's number, so we should be careful!"

At the critical moment, Chen Xiaodao said something and everyone looked at him in unison.

Lean north on me!

We have finally built up some confidence, but why are there still people who are singing a different tune and undermining everyone's morale?

Yan Anxun was a little dissatisfied. He looked at Chen Xiaodao and said unhappily, "Second Master Chen, we also fought on the side of the rebel army back then!"

What this means is that you shouldn't think that just because you served in the military, you are more experienced than everyone else after you retire.

Gege has practiced this before! And she was on the rebel side, fighting the Qi army at the airport, right?

This sentence from Chen Erdang was really a slap in the face, making Chen Xiaodao very embarrassed.

He gave up his position as the boss and gave it to Wang Yuanya. To some extent, he had some selfish motives.

On the one hand, the collapse of his brothers and Liangshan had made him, as the leader, feel exhausted and unable to bear the pressure. On the other hand, he naturally felt that Wang Yuanya was the Princess of Qin after all, and she was pregnant with the King of Qin's child.

The King of Qin could watch his brothers from Liangshan die without helping them, but he couldn't watch his own flesh and blood die without helping them, right?
