We'll have you impersonate the Crown Prince and create a prosperous era for the Great Qian Dyna

"Is this... for real?"

Tuoba Dao swallowed hard, still unable to believe the scene before him.

He even doubted whether he was dreaming.

If the power of the barbarians is the ultimate savagery, then the power of the National Protection Army before us is the ultimate order!

What are the consequences of this order?

As the commander of the army, Tuoba Dao knew this all too well.

Execution!

The level of execution under such an order is simply terrifying!

He even suspected that even if the Crown Prince of Daqian ordered them to commit suicide now, these National Protection Army soldiers would carry out the mission without hesitation!

Who wouldn't want an army like that?

In comparison, what were the Northern Xia people he led?

They're a complete rabble!

Tuoba Dao approached Zhou Tiancheng and asked with some difficulty.

"Your Highness, may I meet the people who created this army?"

Zhou Tiancheng was somewhat surprised, then looked puzzled.

"If you're referring to the founders of the National Protection Army, then you've already met them."

Tuoba Dao's eyes widened instantly.

"Who is it?"

"Is it Soviet revisionism, or Xinhua?"

"It couldn't possibly be Lin Tong, could it?"

"Could it be the Ten Demons of Fengcheng?"

Tuoba Dao guessed at each name one by one, but when he saw the Crown Prince of Daqian in front of him just smiling, his heart trembled violently.

"Is that Your Highness, the Crown Prince?"

Zhou Tiancheng chuckled softly.

Tuoba Dao gasped in shock.

He finally understood why Xinhua and the Soviet Union would submit to Zhou Tiancheng.

It should be noted that Zhou Tiancheng does not possess extreme martial prowess, nor can he be described as barbaric. He simply sits there calmly. So how did someone like him manage to build such a team?

Tuoba Dao couldn't help but ask.

"Your Highness, if I may be so bold, I do not see any absolute martial prowess in you."

"In a place like the battlefield, to make everyone submit, absolute military strength is a must. In addition, you also need mercy, benefits, and tough methods... I see none of these in you."

Zhou Tiancheng chuckled and beckoned Tuoba Dao to sit down.

Tuoba Dao nodded slightly, his heart filled with doubt.

He wasn't just making things up.

In places like Northern Xinjiang, whoever is the strongest is the boss; this is the underlying logic of Northern Xinjiang and Northern Xia.

This means that in such places, even if you hold a high official position, people may at most dare not provoke you, but it is almost impossible for them to truly respect you from the bottom of their hearts.

The reason why Zheng Rong and Lin Tong have such high prestige in the northern frontier is largely due to the influence of their victory after victory.

To some extent, this is also a form of prestige. Soldiers know they can win battles with you, so they are naturally willing to trust you.

But what gives the Crown Prince of Daqian the right to do so?

Zhou Tiancheng did not speak immediately; instead, he pointed to the Northern Frontier general in front of him.

"See? They were surprised too, even a little flustered."

Tuoba Dao nodded slightly.

He could see it too, of course.

Many of these northern border generals even secretly glanced at Zhou Tiancheng.

Zhou Tiancheng chuckled softly.

"The National Protection Army was formed in the capital, originating from a military training competition. I sent them to the northern frontier, where the generals bullied them, but they did not fight back."

Tuoba Dao's expression changed.

Does this mean the army in front of us has no fighting spirit?

Not like ah!

There is only one possibility: this army obeyed orders from above and did not retaliate against the humiliation inflicted upon their comrades!

This kind of order is not something ordinary people can achieve.

The soldiers in the northern frontier are all risking their lives; they all have tempers.

I might die on the battlefield, that's one thing, but you still dare to bully me after I come back? Let's see if I dare to fight you.

If things escalate to the point where I can't survive, I'll kill you before I die.

This is Northern Xinjiang!

But Tuoba Dao couldn't understand why this army was so orderly!

Because this is completely out of place in northern Xinjiang!

Zhou Tiancheng sighed slowly.

"Weren't they able to fight back?"

I don't think so.

"If they unleash their full firepower, there probably won't be many troops in the northern frontier that can stop them."

Tuoba Dao nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.

Zhou Tiancheng then became serious.

"Then why didn't they fight back? Why did they obey the orders from above so readily?"

"Because they understand that they are different from those soldiers who just coast along in the northern frontier. They are the protectors of the country and the people. Protecting the country and the people is also protecting their families!"

"I may not have enough physical strength, nor enough methods, or anything like what you're talking about, but I gave them human dignity and the respectability of my soldiers!"

"Just like in your Northern Xia, where brave and skilled warriors are called heroes, do you think such heroes would easily betray the country of Northern Xia?"

Zhou Tiancheng's words transported Tuoba Daomeng back to the Northern Xia Dynasty of several decades ago.

Although he had never experienced it, he had imagined it countless times through the descriptions of his elders.

At that time, the Northern Xia people revered military strength. Whoever could fight would be chosen, become a general, and receive higher status within the tribe.

Zhou Tiancheng brought all the ordinary soldiers into the spirit of honor!

Tuoba Dao suddenly realized that if he were an ordinary soldier, he would probably be just as devoted to Zhou Tiancheng.

In addition, if he were a general in this legion, he would also be grateful to Zhou Tiancheng for leading such a force.

Because Zhou Tiancheng changed the status of all soldiers, and also brought the army that all capable and idealistic generals dreamed of!

In other words, Zhou Tiancheng has achieved this level of prestige that even if he does nothing, his influence in the military will far surpass that of everyone else!

"Your Highness, I hope that Northern Xia will join the Great Qian Dynasty, and I especially hope that you can lead our Northern Xia army."

Tuoba Dao extended an invitation directly.

Zhou Tiancheng was somewhat surprised, then smiled and shook his head.

"Even if you agree, those people in Beixia won't agree."

Tuoba Dao was immediately enraged.

"They dare!"

"Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll take their head!"

Look, Tuoba Dao, a man from the Northern Xia, is now eager to join the Great Qian Dynasty.

Because he also wanted to command such an army!

Zhou Tiancheng smiled, seeing that he was indeed sincere, and without wasting any words, asked a question directly.

"Would you like to work part-time in my National Protection Army?"

Tuoba Dao's eyes lit up.

"Is it really possible?"

Zhou Tiancheng nodded slightly, then pointed in the direction of Beixia.

"There are some things I haven't had a chance to tell you since you just arrived. I can share my thoughts with you after the parade."

"In fact, two countries don't necessarily have to fight to the death; common prosperity is also possible..."
