Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Soon after, the Luo family's warehouse was robbed, along with all the money hidden outside the city, casting a dark shadow over the entire Luo family.

Wang Yifeng was as happy as he was angry.

"Fei Ran is right. Sure enough, no merchant is without guile. That guy actually has so much money. This time, the battle started badly, and many wealthy merchants have taken the initiative to donate money. Only the Luo family is crying poor. I didn't expect them to be so rich."

You Li also felt that Marshal Wang was too merciful. Fortunately, after Yao Feiran's persuasion, he finally took action against the Luo family.

If you want to be a ruler in this world, you can't be a great person, otherwise you'll just be doing the work for someone else.

With the Luo family's money, the situation in Xiangcheng was greatly alleviated. Yao Feiran remembered that these people on the battlefield had few tools, so she rushed into the Marshal's Mansion with the blueprints.

"What is this?"

Wang Yifeng stared at the blueprints for a long time.

"This is a triple crossbow, which requires more than ten people to pull. Its range exceeds 300 meters. This is a hand crossbow, which can be used directly in the hand. Its effective range is about 100 meters. It is easier to operate than a bow and arrow and is more powerful. In the future, when attacking cities, we will need to use large, powerful crossbows."

Wang Yifeng asked in surprise, "How do you know these things?"

Although the imperial court also had these things, these rebels did not; their weapons were looted from the city's stockpile.

"The immortal told me about another military strategy book. I feel like you guys are just fighting blindly. You should study it carefully."

Wang Yifeng: "..."

He always felt that ever since Yao Feiran got a handle on his personality, she had become a bit too demanding and unruly.

Not long after, the two cities fought another battle. The Yaozhou army underestimated a woman who was leading the vanguard. As a result, the woman broke through the encirclement first, which greatly boosted morale. Meanwhile, the Xiangyu army had many more crossbows and displayed great power on the battlefield. The Yaozhou army, which was momentarily careless, suffered a crushing defeat.

After suffering this defeat, Wang Yifeng's confidence swelled instantly, and he began to give Yao Feiran more important roles.

Yao Feiran spent her days training soldiers and only returned home once every ten days or half a month. By this time, she already had her own house. Zhou Miao was now eleven years old and had grown up to be even more beautiful after a year of raising her.

At this moment, a nanny suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of Yao Feiran. She lowered her head and said, "Madam Yao, I only wanted to teach you, young lady, that as a woman you should know propriety, righteousness, and shame. You want to kick me out?"

Yao Feiran handed over all the household affairs to Zhou Miao. This child actually drove away the old nanny directly. It seems that the old nanny Zhang is not a kind person. There is little work and much money in her household, and many people like this job.

Yao Feiran gave the old nanny a deep look. Speaking of which, this old nanny had been here for a year and was considered one of the longer-serving veterans in the mansion.

At this moment, Zhou Miao also came over.

"Granny Zhang always told me that I couldn't be like my mother, spending all my time with men, wielding swords and spears, and refusing to get married. I couldn't stand hearing such words, so I kicked her out."

"Granny Zhang, is that so?"

Granny Zhang's face turned pale and then black. She retorted, "Madam Yao, I never said that. It was all just nonsense from Miss." She pretended to be stern and said, "How could Miss deceive Madam Huang?"

"Drag it down."

Yao Feiran ordered her subordinates to drag Zhang Mama away. This time, she not only kicked her out, but also took her money and gossiped about her. She was not only not going to get her money back, but she was also not going to stay in Xiangcheng.

Zhou Miao grabbed Yao Feiran's clothes, revealing a wronged expression: "Mother is fighting outside, and she is clearly no less capable than men, so why is she being talked about?"

"So what if people say it? Everyone in this world has a name and a surname. Who isn't talked about? Even Marshal Wang, behind his back, has been said by countless people to be too weak and kind. But who dares to make a scene in front of me?"

When she was a boss, countless people gossiped about her behind her back. No matter how well she did, there would always be people talking about her. But the path she took was all for her own better life, not to become someone else's "good person."

"Yes, Mother, that Granny Zhang keeps making me study the precepts and rules for women, and won't let the teacher teach me anything else."

"......"

This old nanny is quite magnanimous. If Zhou Miao were still young, she might have been influenced, but Zhou Miao now has the ability to distinguish right from wrong and is not so easily swayed.

"You're a grown woman now. Learn whatever you want, and don't worry about what others say."

After reprimanding the servants at home, Yao Feiran returned to the military camp.

A year later, Xiangyu's army launched another counterattack, using large crossbows to attack the city. Under Yao Feiran's command, they shot and killed the city lord of Yaocheng. Without a leader, Yaocheng was defeated and surrendered, with tens of thousands of people taken prisoner.

Yao Feiran also became Wang Yifeng's deputy. With this start, the cities occupied by bandits and brigands were all rabble and were quickly cleared out. Xiangcheng gained several more cities and almost occupied most of the south.

Wang Yifeng also heeded Yao Feiran's advice to first recuperate, raise troops and stockpile grain, and not rush to declare himself king.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. The original 30,000 troops have now expanded to more than 100,000, with all kinds of weapons and equipment, and they are still researching the production of gunpowder.

Several years of chaos have passed, and now there are three main forces. The first is the Prince You in the northwest, originally the third uncle of the young emperor, who was banished to the desert by the late emperor. After the young emperor ascended the throne, the Prince You declared himself emperor. The second is the young emperor of this dynasty. Since his ascension, the empress dowager has ruled from behind the curtain, and the maternal relatives have held power, causing widespread suffering among the people. In reality, the Zhang family, the maternal relatives of the empress, are in power, and the young emperor is merely a puppet. The third is Chen Mingzhen in the northeast. Originally a minor official, he later joined the Mingxian Sect and gained the trust of the sect leader. He later turned the tables and seized power, becoming the head of the Mingxian Sect.

In Xiangcheng, all government affairs were handled by Yao Feiran. Wang Yifeng was sickly, and the workload was even greater than in the original story. He didn't have the energy to deal with these matters. Seeing that Yao Feiran handled them well, he simply delegated the authority to her.

You Li was basically assisting Yao Feiran, who promoted her confidant Song Hanlong to a higher position.

These events further fueled the Wang family's discontent.

Wang Yifeng was resting at home when the eldest son of the Wang family rushed in: "Second brother, how could you let a woman take over? You stay at home all day resting, aren't you afraid she'll take it all away?"

Wang Yifeng lay half-reclined on the couch, looking like he was enjoying his days in leisure.

"The capable should occupy the city. When I occupied Xiangcheng, I only wanted to have enough to eat."

Old Wang's eyes were gloomy, and he pretended to be earnest, saying, "Chen Mingzhen, the leader of the Mingxian Sect, killed the original leader in order to take the throne. If that woman takes the throne, she will definitely not let you go. Besides, how can a woman shoulder such a great responsibility?"

Wang Yifeng revealed a mocking expression. Years ago, he was driven out of the Wang family by his sister-in-law and forced to become a laborer. After he came out, he was riddled with illnesses and later became a beggar, competing with others for food. The Wang family regarded him as a burden. He fought hard and became the leader of the Xiangyu Army, and the Wang family began to fawn over him again.
