The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Suddenly, the world fell silent.

An eerie silence.

It was clearly a scene of two armies clashing, facing each other with the possibility of a fight breaking out at any moment, but then, everyone was completely stunned.

The only sounds in the air were the howling wind whipping up yellow sand and the low neighing of warhorses; there was no other noise.

There were no other actions taken.

Wang Ming was the first to react. Looking at the 60,000-strong army in front of him, he suddenly had an idea.

These are excellent sources of recruits.

He had fought in battles, achieved considerable military exploits, and was known for his strict discipline.

If these people could be subdued, it would be an immense boon for Yunji City and for the Great General.

right now,

Their commander, Song Wan, just like that... died inexplicably.

There is no leader!

That's the best way!

Then, Wang Ming shouted loudly, "Brothers, I am Wang Ming, and I am the deputy general of Ren Tianye, the general of Yunji City."

"You may not know me, but I believe you have all heard of General Ren Tianye."

A rumbling sound rang out.

This shattered the tranquility.

The 60,000 soldiers finally came to their senses.

Ren Tianye, they did know.

The land of Northern Xinjiang is neither too big nor too small. Those who fight and kill there either regard it as an ally or as an enemy.

How could they not try to understand?

Wang Ming then shouted, "My General is the sole heir of the Duke of Ren's mansion, holding a high position and wielding great power, with profound influence."

"Now there are two more magnificent cities, Yunji City and Sifang City."

"The city of Sifang has stored countless grains and fodder."

"There are countless weapons in Yunji City."

"If you are willing to pledge allegiance to my Great General, you will no longer need to worry about salary and provisions, and you will be provided with the best weapons and equipment."

"With our great general's strategy and strength, this mere northern frontier can be taken in the blink of an eye."

"What are you waiting for?"

Having spent a long time in the army, Wang Ming naturally understood the soldiers' hopes and concerns very well. They were simply looking for their salaries, provisions, and, if they had grander aspirations, their future prospects.

And the general can provide all of these.

He then pointed it out one by one to win the hearts of these people.

They even go so far as to make empty promises.

After all, if they miss out on this army of 60,000 today, and wait for them to elect new candidates from within, or if they split up and fight their own battles, they will not be able to maximize their benefits.

really,

After these words were shouted, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

Ren Tianye's soldiers receive 2.5 taels of silver per month and are equipped with the same gear as the Imperial Guards, something they have always envied.

Moreover, Ren Tianye specifically sent people to the northern frontier to gather the relatives of his soldiers, which alone far surpasses the actions of many others.

In any case, Song Wan never made any special effort to manage their families.

This has caused public sentiment to become unsettled.

Many people are eager to try it.

Since I'm going to be a soldier anyway, it doesn't matter who I work for.

Song Wan was indeed a brilliant strategist and a brave warrior, but now that he is dead, who can command respect after him?

It would be better to follow General Ren Tianye.

Seeing that the time was right, Wang Ming immediately shouted again, "My general is never one to be swayed by women's sentiments."

"As far as I know, he killed Aunt Xiao, Zhang Wei, Zhan Shubai, quelled the rebellion in Yunji City, fought the Imperial Guards, and imprisoned the young prince..."

"Not a single one, but calm and decisive."

"I'm never burdened by women!"

"Therefore, if you pledge allegiance to the Great General, you need not worry about things like what happened today."

Originally, many of the 60,000 soldiers were on the verge of agitation, but Wang Ming's words instantly stirred up a commotion.

Not to be burdened by women?

They might not have thought much of it before, but this time, they've seen it for themselves.

It's not easy to find someone who can follow a normal general.

then……

"I am willing to serve the General!"

"I am also willing to serve the General, not for any other reason than that the General treats us as human beings and will not commit suicide casually!"

"We are willing to serve under the General. We will receive silver, wear armor, and have excellent weapons. The General also loves his soldiers like his own children. I have long wanted to follow the General."

……

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

With someone taking the lead and emotions running high, everyone began to surrender.

This is like toppling a dominoes; once the first domino falls, no one else can escape.

In an instant, the shouts of surrender from the crowd shook the heavens and the earth.

Seeing this, Wang Ming was overjoyed.

Did not expect ah did not expect.

I really didn't expect that!

He still thought that he had to risk his life to possibly cut off Song Wan's 60,000-strong army and buy time for General Ren Tianye, but...

Sixty thousand troops surrendered?!

Now, not only has he managed to defend Sifang City, he's also gained 60,000 troops for nothing!

His face flushed with excitement.

Quickly arrange for someone to organize and command this army of 60,000, and have them stationed outside the city.

Wang Ming was not stingy and immediately ordered the troop supplies to be brought in, so that each of the 60,000 soldiers could receive a month's worth of rations first.

Just as he was about to order someone to do it, he saw Su Jin sitting on her horse, her face a mixture of grief and confusion, her expression numb.

Wang Ming sighed and said, "Su Jin, I will have someone collect Song Wan's body and give him a proper burial. I won't let him be trampled by the chaotic soldiers like this."

Su Jincai came to her senses and said, "Thank you, General."

"Song Wan is, after all, the commander of an army of 60,000. Many of them must still trust him. He shouldn't be treated like this."

Wang Ming murmured, "Don't be too sad. After all, you deserve the most credit for subduing this army of 60,000."

"The General is always fair in rewarding and punishing, and will not forget your contributions."

"Yes, yes, General!" Su Jin replied, her heart filled with complex emotions, unsure whether to feel joy or sorrow.

Wang Ming then ignored him and immediately went to work. After distributing the grain and fodder, Wang Ming suddenly felt a little apprehensive.

An army of 60,000 men—it would be remarkable if he could subdue it, especially since he was already doing so with the help of the Grand General. Now, he's to be in command of it?

He sensed that Alexander was not up to the task.

In this battle, if nothing unexpected happens, he will probably be defeated on the spot, leaving only a burning passion to fight to the death.

His ability to command troops lies here.

Being able to do one's job well and be an obedient general under a great general is already quite good; commanding an army of 60,000 is still too much of a strain.

Thinking this through, he quickly made up his mind.

He summoned a personal guard.

"I order you to go and inform the General immediately, tell him everything that has happened here, and tell him that I, Wang Ming, will soon bring these 60,000 troops over."

"Let the General handle it!"

"Yes!" the guard replied and ran off!
