Transmigration begins with archery training

Before long, a large crowd appeared in the courtyard, all of them military generals dressed in armor with swords at their waists.

After integration and expansion, the Northern Liang army now has 300,000 troops, which means there are at least 30 generals in the garrison alone. Apart from Lü Ji and others leading troops outside, they are basically all gathered here.

"Have you heard what happened during the day?!"

"Old Xu!"

"The Cao family wants us to withdraw our troops!"

"Can you agree to that?"

"Of course not!"

"Does the Cao family intend to keep defecating and pissing on our heads forever?!"

"nausea!"

"..."

"Fourth!"

Wang Zhi said casually, "We can't forget how Cao Kai treated our master before! Cao Liulang is only being polite on the surface because he's not strong enough and doesn't dare to turn against us. He's exactly the same as Cao Kai!"

"Yes."

Cheng Wei chimed in, "He has the backing of the Guiyuan Sect, who knows what he's plotting behind the scenes. Even if it's not for ourselves, we should at least think about the brothers of Beiliang."

"Fourth."

Rong Yanqiu spoke up, "Why don't you two hurry up and make a decision?"

"Haha~"

Xu Wencai stood up and said, "Generals, please be patient. We have already come up with a plan."

"Yes?"

"What idea?"

"Should we march straight to Chang'an?"

"..."

Fang Qingyun and Xu Wencai exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.

"Hey!"

What are you two keeping in suspense for?

"If you don't hurry up and tell us your ideas, we're going to go straight to the commander-in-chief."

"No matter what, we will not withdraw our troops!"

"..."

"Xiao Chengzi."

Xu Wencai waved his hand: "Go, move the things from my study over here."

Qi Cheng immediately did as instructed, and returned to the courtyard in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, carrying a wooden box with a copper lock in his arms.

"It's that old, broken box again."

Feng Yong muttered, "You've been carrying this everywhere you go these past two years, I wonder what kind of treasure it contains, and what it has to do with what's going on right now?"

"There really is a connection."

Xu Wencai gently waved his feather fan: "Moreover, it will solve the problem once and for all, and from now on no one will be able to cause trouble for our Northern Liang."

"So awesome?"

"What's in there?"

"Why didn't you take it out sooner?"

"..."

"You'll know at a glance!"

As Xu Wencai spoke, he tossed out a key.

"That's so superstitious!"

Wang handed over the keys without a second thought and said dismissively, "Let me see if it's really that mysterious!"

"Click——"

The key unlocked the brass lock, and with a creak, the cover opened, revealing the true nature of what lay inside.

"My day."

Wang Zhihu's body trembled.

"What the hell?"

"..."

The generals crowded around, craning their necks to see, but anyone who could see clearly immediately stiffened and shut their mouths.

The once noisy courtyard became completely silent in just a few breaths.

Finally, Xu Wencai broke the silence: "Generals, what do you think?"

"Good! Very good!"

Wang Zhi was the first to slam his fist on the table: "That's definitely a good idea!"

"That's right!"

Zhao Kang shouted in a loud voice, "Only in this way will our Northern Liang army never have to be bullied again! What Cao family? They're all bullshit!"

"It should have been done long ago, it should have been done long ago!"

"..."

The local leaders who came from Poyang were the first to agree.

"I agree."

Cheng Wei said thoughtfully, "Since no matter who is emperor, they will be suspicious of Beiliang, then why don't we let our junior brother be the emperor?"

"Ah."

Rong Yanqiu nodded: "It is indeed appropriate for Junior Brother to do it."

After careful consideration, his fellow disciples also expressed their willingness to support it.

Finally, the remaining Northern Liang generals, both veterans and newcomers, also raised no objections.

In any case, if things go well, it will be a great thing for them.

Everyone knew perfectly well which choice would be more beneficial to their future: serving as a soldier under the King of Beiliang or as a personal guard under the Emperor.

Moreover, this is a meritorious deed of supporting the emperor!

"only……"

Ye Fengxiu, who was usually taciturn, spoke up: "Junior brother himself may not be willing."

"Right."

Cheng Wei stroked his chin: "Today's discussion with Cao Liulang was actually a decision made by my junior brother to withdraw from the Central Plains. If he hadn't withdrawn, who could have done anything to us? Since he agreed to withdraw his troops, he must not have any ambition for the throne."

"It's better than..."

Ninth Senior Sister Rong Yanqiu pondered, "Shall we go and have a chat with Junior Brother?"

"The adults won't agree."

Xu Wencai interrupted, "That's why I've been waiting for all of you generals to gather here today. Besides, how could I let you take the initiative for something like this?"

"It's reasonable and reasonable."

"I've heard that it requires three refusals and three concessions; isn't that how it's written in historical records?"

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Fang, what do you suggest we do next?"

"..."

After a moment's thought, Xu Wencai slowly said, "Seven days from now, before we withdraw our troops, we will hold a victory banquet in Ba County. At that time..."

……

County government.

Chen Sanshi temporarily stayed here, practicing his internal energy day and night to recuperate and expel the remaining sword energy from his body, hoping to recover as quickly as possible.

After that, he still had many things to do, including cultivation, Guiyuan Sect, and various government affairs after returning to Beiliang.

War is a complex subject, and so is governing the world.

The numerous official documents and reports from the five prefectures of Beiliang would pile up like small mountains, and it's unknown how much cultivation time they would take up.

For him, five states were already the limit he was willing to accept, and he would never waste any more time on them.

The Central Plains are a vast and boundless territory, and he really can't manage it all.

After returning to Beiliang, he also planned to train more conscientious and capable civil officials to thoroughly rectify the bureaucracy.

I secluded myself to recuperate, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

For ordinary people, it takes at least a hundred days to recover from a bone or muscle injury, and even cultivators need a long time to recover from injuries to their meridians.

Although Chen Sanshi's injuries have not yet fully healed, fortunately they will no longer affect his strength in battle, which is enough for now. The remaining hidden injuries can only be slowly healed.

"call……"

He exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly opened his eyes.

This great battle lasted for nearly three years, from Beiliang to Feishui. Many of the spoils from that battle have not yet been tallied, such as various martial arts techniques and magical artifacts.

Of course, among all the items, the most important are the Longyuan Sword and the Imperial Seal of the State.

The Dragon Abyss Sword contained the national fortune of the Great Sheng Dynasty, which had completely dissipated, and its bloodline connection with the Cao family had been completely erased. Now it truly belonged to him as a weapon.

The Imperial Seal of the State.

Chen Sanshi also observed it carefully and found that it did indeed contain a mysterious power that could resist the suppression of the seal of heaven and earth, and could also be used as a magic weapon on ordinary days.
