Abandoning literature for martial arts, starting by unleashing the beauty's bow.

Huang Yunhe paused for a moment, then said, "General Liu, in such a vast dynasty, injustices are inevitable. The best way for us to live is for each of us to do our jobs properly."

"Should everyone do their job?"

Liu Zhenting laughed heartily, "What a fine example of everyone doing their job! Let me ask you, what exactly is your position as the commander of the Marshal's personal guard battalion?"

Before Huang Yunhe could answer, he continued, "To put it bluntly, aren't they just lackeys sent by Xiao Yingyang to spy on us!"

Huang Yunhe frowned. "Liu Zhenting, you have committed treason and rebellion. Surrender immediately."

Otherwise, don't blame me for turning ruthless!

Liu Zhenting laughed loudly, "Huang Yunhe, who do you think you are? You think you're qualified to make me surrender to you?"

Huang Yunhe narrowed his eyes and shouted coldly, "Listen up, you men of the Zhenxi Army, you are surrounded."

Lay down your weapons and surrender; there is still a way to live. If you resist stubbornly, there is only death.

Moreover, you will bear the stigma of treason, leaving a lasting stain on your reputation and implicating your families!

When Huang Yunhe said this, he raised his voice to the maximum, making his voice resound throughout half of the Zhenxi Army camp.

In an instant, the soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Zhenxi Army all changed their expressions drastically, filled with fear and unease.

Liu Zhenting clearly wanted to take one last step, and said loudly, "Brothers, although they have a large number of people, they are a rabble."

"As long as we work together, we will be able to break through their encirclement. Once we are out of Shiyang Pass, the sky's the limit, and no one can do anything to us."

Huang Yunhe responded loudly, "Once you leave Shiyang Pass, you are nothing but bandits, unable to return home, hated by everyone, like rats crossing the street."

Don't worry, we will only pursue the ringleaders in this case. As long as the rest of you sincerely repent, you will have a chance to start over.

If we heed Liu Zhenting's incitement, we will embark on a path of no return, with no chance of ever recovering!

At this point, he raised his voice again, "The Great Zhou army has retreated, suffering a crushing defeat."

The Third and Fourth Battalions of the Zhenxi Army have already surrendered; you have no chance.

I'm giving you ten breaths to consider. If you don't surrender...

Everyone involved will be dealt with severely according to the law!

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Zhenxi Army, who had been caught up in the tide of events, laid down their weapons, covered their heads, squatted down, and chose to surrender.

On the high ground surrounding the Zhenxi Army, skilled soldiers from the Marshal's personal guard were lying in ambush.

Upon seeing the scene inside the Zhenxi Army camp, they immediately reported it to Huang Yunhe.

Huang Yunhe was overjoyed and immediately gave the order to attack.

Subsequently, the Marshal's personal guards were the first to break into the Zhenxi Army camp, followed by the soldiers and officers of other armies.

The personal guards of the commander's mansion were all martial artists who had acquired their skills after birth. They charged in in groups, and the Zhenxi Army was no match for them.

In less than thirty breaths, the first line of defense of the Zhenxi Army camp was breached, and more Zhenxi Army soldiers chose to surrender.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Liu Zhenting chose to flee. Under the protection of his personal guards, he broke through the encirclement and escaped from the Zhenxi Army camp.

Huang Yunhe immediately dispatched his top fighters to give chase.

With Liu Zhenting gone, the Second Battalion of the Zhenxi Army lost all fighting spirit and surrendered after a brief resistance.

With this, the rebellion of the Zhenxi Army was completely quelled.

……

When Liu Zhenting escaped from the Zhenxi Army camp, Zhao Beiwang's victorious army had already passed through Wangyue Gate and was heading towards Shiyang Pass.

Of the Zhenxi Army troops that went into battle, apart from the first battalion, the third and fourth battalions were taken prisoner in a shameful manner.

Lu Fengnian's hundred-man team was temporarily assigned to the First Battalion, tasked with escorting the Third and Fourth Battalions of the Zhenxi Army.

In this battle, Lu Fengnian's hundred-man team made outstanding contributions.

If it weren't for their valiant efforts to stop him, Zhao Beiwang would never have been able to defeat the 50,000 cavalry of the Great Zhou army.

However, Lu Fengnian's hundred-man team suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Of the more than eighty men, more than half died in battle, and most of the survivors were wounded.

Fortunately, although all seven of his squad leaders were injured to varying degrees, they all survived.

Although several of the corporals were killed, most of them survived.

The adage "the more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in wartime" has been proven true.

Despite losing more than half its personnel, the organizational structure remains intact, and the team will be able to be regrouped quickly once they return to Shiyang Pass.

The dead are gone.

Those who survived were overjoyed. When they returned to Shiyang Pass, they were greeted with glory and rewards.

One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand.

Lu Fengnian felt no joy. He searched among the prisoners of the Third Battalion of the Zhenxi Army, looking for someone.

This person is Wan Song.

However, there were too many prisoners, and they were all crowded together. He searched from Wangyue Gate to Shiyang Pass, but he still couldn't find Wansong.

Moreover, he wasn't among the bodies they recovered.

Lu Fengnian couldn't help but frown.

Even Liu Zhenting has fallen from power, so even if Wan Song were alive, he would be nothing more than a clown who can't make any waves.

However, Wan Song had previously shown hostility and murderous intent towards Lu Fengnian.

Moreover, Lu Fengnian had acted like a grandson in front of him for such a long time.

I can't rest easy if I don't kill him.

However, Wan Song was extremely cautious on the battlefield. When he saw Lu Fengnian draw his bow, he immediately hid in the crowd, not giving Lu Fengnian a chance.

When the triumphant team entered Shiyang Pass, the pass immediately erupted in cheers.

The soldiers and civilians inside the pass lined the streets to welcome them, cheering with joy.

Lu Fengnian originally planned to find Wan Song to prevent future troubles.

However, as the person who made the greatest contribution to this battle, he naturally attracted the attention of the masses.

After entering Shiyang Pass, there was no longer any opportunity to continue the search.

So he called Xiong Qi over and asked him to lead his men to continue searching for Wan Song among the prisoners.

Zhao Beiwang was unaware of Lu Fengnian's cooperation with the Marshal's personal guard.

When he returned to Shiyang Pass and heard Huang Yunhe's report, he was overjoyed.

But after feeling relieved, he started to feel uneasy again.

However, Huang Yunhe was a cunning old fox. When he reported to Zhao Beiwang, he attributed the credit for overall command to Zhao Beiwang.

In this way, the knots in Zhao Beiwang's heart were untied.

Huang Yunhe did not reveal Lu Fengnian's identity as a bodyguard.

This only indicates that Lu Fengnian was an inside agent developed by the Marshal's personal guards within the Zhenxi Army.

The following time was spent: presenting victory gifts, offering sacrifices, rewarding the troops, inspecting and settling the spoils of war and prisoners of war...

This whole process takes at least four or five days before it's time to reward those who have made contributions.

During these four or five days, Zhao Beiwang also had to attend to a very important matter.

That is, how to deal with the Zhenxi Army.

The Zhenxi Army was the bulwark of the western border of Daqing, and now that it has rebelled, it is an absolutely earth-shattering event.

At the same time, it is not a complete rebellion.

Three battalions of the Zhenxi Army rebelled, and the First Battalion and Lu Fengnian's hundred-man squad made outstanding contributions in this battle.

Although Zhao Beiwang was the commander of Shiyang Pass, he did not have the authority to deal with the Zhenxi Army; he had to report to the imperial court.
