After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Time flew by, and it was already evening of the next day.

A large caravan was making its way towards Sunjia Town. The people were not dressed in fancy clothes, but the carts were loaded with a lot of goods. It was estimated that there were at least a hundred carts, but it was unknown what they were carrying.

As the convoy approached a grove of trees, laughter suddenly broke out.

"This mountain is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass through, leave your toll."

As the laughter subsided, at least two or three thousand rebel soldiers surged out of the forest with a whoosh. The young general leading them held his head high, exuding an air of authority, but his attire resembled that of a beggar, which was hardly flattering, especially since he was also injured.

Dian Wei stood at the front of the group, grinning as he stared at the young man. "Kid, is it you who's been leading people to plunder villages?"

"That fellow, you do have some discernment. So what if it is me?"

"I thought he was some kind of powerful figure, but it turns out he's just a little kid."

"Bah! You big dummy, how dare you look down on me! Believe me or not, I'll poke a thousand holes in you!"

Chu Jiang stared wide-eyed and started yelling, while the beggar-like soldiers around him brandished their weapons and howled.

Chen Futu and Yue Fei watched this scene from a distance on horseback, exchanging silent glances.

This is what you call a chaotic army? They're just a bunch of wild monkeys. But the young general leading them is quite interesting; I can't seem to fathom his true strength. Could he be a grandmaster? This is just too outrageous.

Yue Fei frowned. "This young general is indeed strange. I can't even see through his martial arts skills."

"Even you can't see through it?"

Chen Futu was even stranger.

Logically speaking, Yue Fei was a master like Guan Yu, so no matter how strong this kid was, he couldn't possibly be more powerful than An Jingsi.

As he spoke, Dian Wei pulled a long sword from the carriage and shouted, "Kid, don't mind me bullying you, let's have a go. If you win, I'll give you the caravan, what's wrong with that?"

"really?"

Chu Jiang was overjoyed. He had hesitated when he saw the caravan of several hundred men, but now that this man wanted to spar with him, he was more than happy to oblige. So the two drew a line and decided to fight like outlaws in the martial world.

"Boss, let that big guy know what you're made of!"

"Yeah, he dared to look down on the boss, beat him up!"

The rebel soldiers brandished their swords and spears, cheering and shouting, while the Yue Family Army soldiers disguised as merchants remained silent, their eyes revealing coldness and murderous intent.

Compared to them, these guys were no different from the laborers carrying hoes.

As for this young general, he is even less likely to be a match for General Dian.

"Take my shot!"

Chu Jiang attacked fiercely, his spear thrust extremely powerful, yet clumsy. Dian Wei casually parried with his sword, only to feel his hand tremble. His expression changed; "Something's not right."

This battle was quite bizarre. Dian Wei, as the personal bodyguard of the King of the Northern Frontier, was almost invincible in foot combat on the battlefield. However, this kid named Chu Jiang was not very good at spear fighting, but his strength was ridiculously great. Dian Wei's sword was almost knocked away several times. If he hadn't also been a powerful general, someone else would have been defeated.

Yue Fei said to Chen Futu, "Your Majesty, this boy's attacks are haphazard and clumsy, yet his strength is extraordinary. He must be the legendary innate superhuman strength."

"Like An Jingsi?"

Chen Futu's eyes lit up. An Jingsi was born with superhuman strength and had been guided by a master, so his strength was extremely formidable. He could easily fight across borders. This young man himself had no martial arts cultivation, so he was unfathomable. Yet he could rely on his brute force to fight against Dian Wei, a master-level general. It was truly outrageous. If he had been guided by a famous master, he would be even more formidable.

As Chen Futu and Yue Fei were talking, the battle on the other side came to an end.

Chu Jiang is strong, but he doesn't know how to use it, and he easily gets exhausted. On the other hand, Dian Wei, apart from suffering a slight loss at the beginning because he couldn't grasp the opponent's strength, steadily suppressed Chu Jiang afterwards.

Seeing that he was outmatched, Chu Jiang shouted, "This is bad, this guy's tough, time to get out of here!"

He's no fool; ordinary people are no match for him. He's killed at least seven or eight rebel leaders in Beixing Mountain, let alone just a caravan leader. There must be something fishy going on.

Seeing their general defeated, the chaotic soldiers hurriedly protected him and fled.

Dian Wei laughed loudly, suddenly drew his twin halberds from under the chariot, and roared like thunder, "Boy, you came and think you can leave? Stay here!"

At his command, all the soldiers of Yue Fei's army drew their swords from under the chariots and quickly gave chase.

Chu Jiang turned around and saw that the burly man from before was actually wielding two halberds. He was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "You can't be Dian Wei!"

“Young man, you have a good eye. It is indeed me, Gu Zhi E Lai.”

"Smack! Who the hell told me this was an ordinary caravan? Come out here, or I promise I'll beat him to a pulp!"

Chu Jiang was terrified. He couldn't believe that he had just fought with Dian Wei, the personal bodyguard of the King of the Northern Frontier, a peerless warrior who had single-handedly protected the old general on the banks of the Xuan River, leaving behind mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Next, Chu Jiang ran ahead, and Dian Wei chased after him. Dian Wei deliberately drove Chu Jiang toward the small hill where Chen Futu and Yue Fei were.

Seeing the rebel army approaching, Chen Futu and Yue Fei exchanged a smile, spurred their horses forward, and the Yue Family Army soldiers who were lying in ambush rushed up the hillside. From their high vantage point, their fierce and powerful fighting formation swept down the hillside.

Chu Jiang, who had just reached halfway up the hill, was startled by the sight. Looking up, he saw a dense mass of soldiers covering the hilltop. He cried out, "Oh no, an ambush!"

Chen Futu raised his black and gold-patterned riding whip and asked with a smile, "Young general, where are we going?"

Chu Jiang's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in astonishment, "And who are you?"

“I am Chen Futu, the King of the Northern Frontier.”

The short sentence, though not loud, instantly silenced the riotous hillside. The soldiers, upon hearing the name, were terrified, some even trembling so badly they could barely hold their weapons.

The name of the King of the Northern Frontier carries too much weight; it is not something that these rebels can afford to offend. He is a true god of war, and countless famous generals have fallen at his hands, while hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been killed or wounded!

Chu Jiang was also afraid. He gripped his gun tightly, looked at Dian Wei and his group who were surrounding him from behind, and then at the smiling Chen Futu. He gritted his teeth and said, "I never thought that the King of the Northern Frontier, a man of great wealth and power, would personally lead an expedition for a mere leader like me."

"Hehe, what you say isn't entirely wrong. Do you know that Sunjia Town is within the northern border region? Who gave you the audacity to encroach on my territory?"

Chen Futu's smile vanished, and his mere presence was enough to keep the chaotic army from even daring to breathe.

Upon seeing this, Chu Jiang suddenly dropped his weapon. "Arrest me, but release my brothers. They were just following my orders."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're quite interesting."

Chen Futu hadn't expected him to surrender so readily. No wonder he only allowed the rebels to plunder without harming anyone; given his temperament, he was a capable general.

When their commander defected, the other rebel soldiers also threw down their weapons.

They dared not fight. Although they outnumbered the enemy, the King of the Northern Frontier was their opponent, and who knew if he had tens of thousands of troops hidden behind him?

The Northern Frontier King's power is awe-inspiring. Even if he were standing here alone, they wouldn't dare to make a move, because everyone knows that behind the Northern Frontier King are two saints and a peerless evil star. Killing a few thousand of them would only take a little longer.

Dian Wei stepped forward and grabbed Chu Jiang's weapon. The weapon was extremely heavy, and he almost couldn't lift it with one hand. "Good heavens, this weight is probably comparable to General An's Yu Wang Shuo."

Chen Futu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked Chu Jiang, "Speak, why have you come here to cause trouble?"
