After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Yin Cheng looked as if he had been struck by joy. "Big brother, is this really true?"

Tian Hai said, "Don't worry, I will never mistreat my brothers."

"But rebellion isn't that easy..." Yin Cheng began to worry again, "This could very well cost you your head."

He then said meaningfully, "The merit of following the emperor is not so easy, Da Hu. Think about it, if you have all the troops in the world in your hands, who will remember your past misdeeds? At that time, what is there to fear from a mere magistrate of Song County?"

After all, he's my wife's third brother; I still have to be polite and show him some respect.

Yin Cheng pretended to think, his expression changing every few seconds, "That makes some sense..."

Tian Hai began to persuade him: "When the time comes, you will have immense power and be able to choose any beauty in the world."

He lowered his voice, "I've heard that all the husbands of officials kept in the capital's backyards are as beautiful as flowers, and as fragrant and smooth as silk."

He took a deep breath, looking as if he had a beautiful woman in his arms, completely intoxicated.

"At that time, all these beauties will be yours."

Yin Cheng was persuaded again, but he hesitated to express his opinion.

Just as Tian Hai was contemplating killing him to silence him if he disagreed, Yin Cheng said, as if on cue, "Alright, then I, Wang Dahu, will accompany my elder brother to conquer this world!"

"Great!" Tian Hai laughed. "Big Tiger, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Yin Cheng asked, "But elder brother, there's still one thing I don't understand."

"Please feel free to speak."

"Where did these soldiers come from?" Yin Cheng asked.

Tian Hai kept everyone in suspense, then smiled and said, "You'll find out soon enough."

The next day, Tian Hai led Yin Cheng south, and after about two days of travel, they arrived at a remote mountain area.

Deep in the mountains, the camps stretching for dozens of miles have already reached a considerable scale.

When Yin Cheng saw the unfamiliar military flags fluttering in front of the camp, he felt a sharp pain in his brow.

It's true that the emperor is far away; who would believe that such a remote place could hide an army of at least 50,000 men?

Where did these 50,000 people come from?

Tian Hai led his men through the area without hindrance and finally entered the royal tent.

This royal tent was built to the specifications of a prince, something that an ordinary nouveau riche like Tian Hai could never have set up.

Could it be... that members of the royal family in the capital are also involved?

"Big Tiger, how's it going?" Tian Hai was already panting heavily after just walking from the gate to the royal tent. His fat body was spread out on the main seat. "Can you see our army?"

Yin Cheng's shock was genuine. "So many of us? Where did we come from?"

Tian Hai said, "You don't need to know that. You just need to teach them what you learned in the Northern Army."

"Brother, I don't recall ever saying that I served in the Northern Army. How did you know? Did you investigate me?" Yin Cheng feigned anger, but in reality, he listened intently to the commotion outside the camp.

The footsteps of these people varied in volume and sounded chaotic, indicating a wide range of skill levels, as if they were hastily recruited.

"Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles," Tian Hai said. "Of course, I admit I didn't do the right thing in this matter, so I apologize to you here. I'm sorry, brother."

"Alright," Yin Cheng said, "between brothers, let's not hold this against each other."

Tian Hai began to flatter Yin Cheng, saying, "Brother Da Hu is so magnanimous!"

"Brother, I have no problem training troops. Back in the Northern Army, I was a commander of a thousand men," Yin Cheng said. "It's just..."

What are your concerns?

Yin Cheng said, "Training troops will take anywhere from a thousand days to several years. I wonder what your plans are, elder brother? When do you intend to deploy this army?"

Tian Hai said, "Of course, the sooner the better."

Yin Cheng's expression was conflicted, as if he was thinking about how to train these soldiers in a short period of time.

"Da Hu, you don't need to worry too much. Now that Yin Cheng is dead, the one in the capital is already isolated and helpless. As long as our people can deal with the Golden Guard, then conquering the world will be as easy as taking candy from a baby."

Yin Cheng himself: "..."

Yin Cheng began to flatter himself, "Brother, what if Yin Cheng isn't dead? You don't know how formidable Yin Cheng is, being in Huzhou."

"A person who has been missing for three years is nothing to fear," Tian Hai said. "As long as our men are fast enough, once we capture the capital, even if the Northern Army comes to our aid, it will be too late."

Yin Cheng: "...Brother is wise." He was somewhat speechless.

Judging from his lack of military strategy, Tian Hai is clearly not the mastermind behind this rebellion. Putting aside any planning and tactics, his level of self-confidence alone shows that he is definitely not the mastermind behind this rebellion.

There must be someone plotting against him behind the scenes. If nothing unexpected happens, they probably want to use him as a target so that when chaos breaks out in the capital, that person can reap the benefits...

Tian Hai continued to make empty promises, saying, "Da Hu, from now on you can stay here and bring these soldiers out as soon as possible. Then you will be my general on the battlefield."

"I will follow my elder brother's arrangements." Yin Cheng sneered inwardly, "Good heavens, this is the emperor's turn."

"As for your lover, I will send someone to bring him here. This military camp is boring. Wouldn't it be nice to have a beautiful woman by your side?"

Yin Cheng was speechless.

Yin Cheng beamed with joy, "Big brother is so thoughtful."

He suddenly changed his mind, "No, it is His Majesty who is more thoughtful."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor was overjoyed and beamed with delight.

"General Wang, please don't disappoint me."

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Yin Cheng thought: Now there's really no suspense left; someone is using Tian Hai to stir up trouble in the capital.

who can that be?

Yin Cheng thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he decided to leave this difficult problem to his brother.

Tian Hai ordered one of his men to summon a man.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, with strong features and an upright appearance.

He bowed respectfully to Tian Hai, saying, "Master."

"Da Hu, this is Gu Yong. From now on, he will be your deputy general." Tian Hai said, "You will follow Deputy General Gu to familiarize yourself with the military camp. You must not slack off in training the troops. Everything will be subject to my orders."

Yin Cheng replied firmly, "Yes! Your humble servant obeys!"

After putting on airs, Tian Hai strolled around the military camp for a while, indulging in his emperor fantasies before finally leaving.

As soon as Tian Hai left, Gu Yong immediately said, "General, please come with me."

"please."

"please."

Yin Cheng thought, "This person is quite polite."

Gu Yong lived in the commander's tent, located in the northeast corner of the camp, next to the grain and fodder warehouse.

When Yin Cheng saw the completely full granary, he realized that Pang Hong had also been involved.

It seems that most of the autumn harvest grain from Red Maple County in recent years has been sent here.

Gu Yong said, "General Wang, since you will be leading the army from now on, you should be the one to stay in the main tent."

"I'm not picky about where I live, I'm fine with staying anywhere." Yin Cheng began to probe for information with great interest. "Deputy General Gu, please tell me about the basic situation of this military camp, so I can have a better understanding of it."
