Chapter 173: Sweeping the Entire North

Three days later, Xiao Jingyan drove an RV and brought a few people back to Lingyao City.

Being able to be together with their families again is a dream they dare not even dream of.

Being detained in Beijing by the emperor, Mrs. Guo and the Queen Mother had already prepared themselves to never see Wang Tiezhu and Guo Wen again in this life, but they did not expect that they would wait for Prince Ding'an.

It was all thanks to Xiao Jingyan that she was able to be reunited with her husband and son.

Their gratitude to Xiao Jingyan is beyond words.

Returning to the military camp, seeing everyone's faces filled with smiles, Xiao Jingyan's fatigue seemed to be swept away.

But, at the same time, in the imperial palace in the capital.

The commander-in-chief made public the incident of Xiao Jingyan driving a giant iron house to rescue the families of Wang Tiezhu and Guo Wen that night.

Now, the whole capital knows about this.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ding'an is arrogant and defies the imperial authority!"

"I think he might be plotting a rebellion, and he has over a hundred thousand Xiao family soldiers at his command, so we must be on guard!"

Pei Xiang fanned the flames from the side.

"Well, that's exactly what I was thinking. Lord Pei, tell me, how can we prevent Xiao Jingyan's power from growing?"

The little emperor was talking to Prime Minister Pei while eating grapes handed to him by a beautiful palace maid.

He ascended the throne at a young age and became the ruler of a country. He was surrounded by a treacherous villain like Prime Minister Pei, which made him no different from a tyrant.

He just drinks and indulges in debauchery every day.

Before he was even twenty, he already had countless children.

But among all the princes, there is currently no candidate who is most suitable for the position of crown prince.

All the civil and military officials in the court felt that the young emperor was still young and there was no need to choose a crown prince too early, so the matter was shelved.

"In my opinion, we should send General Huang Yi."

"Charge Xiao Jingyan with the crime of entering the capital without permission and killing people at random, and have General Huang take over his command of the troops."

"By the way, we can also send some troops to General Huang. If Xiao Jingyan refuses to comply, let General Huang take direct action and eliminate the root of the problem!"

Pei Xiang is a tough guy to be able to sit in his current position.

As he spoke, he made a knife gesture in front of his neck, signaling the emperor to kill Xiao Jingyan.

"But Xiao Jingyan has nearly 200,000 Xiao family soldiers at his disposal. How can General Huang be a match for them?"

The little emperor asked back in confusion.

Pei Xiang narrowed his eyes, looking confident, and said:

"Your Majesty, rest assured. We can specially assign some of the Xiao family's friends and relatives to General Huang. That way, when the two armies clash, the Xiao family soldiers will surely not be able to bring themselves to use their swords against their own relatives and friends. Then, wouldn't Xiao Jingyan be left alone?"

"Even if Xiao Jingyan is so powerful and has the power of a god of war, he can't possibly defeat so many people, right?"

Hearing this, the little emperor also laughed sinisterly. It’s a really good idea.

This time, they don’t believe that Xiao Jingyan can survive!

After Laba Festival, the entire Lingyao City was immersed in the joy of the New Year.

But Xiao Jingyan and Wanyan Longmu already had new plans.

They wanted to take advantage of the New Year to directly attack Shanmeng and Zhongjue and take them down.

If there is still strength left, we will make a concerted effort to crush all the Xiaorong and other northern barbarian tribes.

This time, Xiao Jingyan had more weapons sent to him by Shi Xi from Country M, Country E and the Middle East, and he was more confident about conquering the north.

Their war plan was proceeding in an orderly manner. Huang Yi, with 70,000 to 80,000 troops from all over Dayong, also set out from the capital and headed towards Lingyao City.

They walked here, and it took at least a month!

As the end of the year approaches, the locust problem in the suburbs of Beijing has become very serious.

At present, it has been spreading across the country, and even Yuewu City next to Lingyao City has become one of the cities affected by the disaster.

As for Shi Xi, she has been sending more food to Xiao Jingyan recently.

Xiao Jingyan has sent people to open the city gates and expand the land.

As long as the people submit to him sincerely, he will be saved.

However, the people did not get his food and supplies for free. Regardless of gender, as long as they met the requirements, they had to join the Xiao family army, and those who did not had to work.

Mining coal, digging for oil, building city walls, establishing wind and hydroelectric power stations, etc. all require large amounts of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

In addition, when spring came and flowers bloomed, Shi Xi also sent a lot of seeds and other crops to Xiao Jingyan and others, allowing them to grow their own food.

Xiao Jingyan now needs a large number of manpower to open up the wasteland.

If Shi Xi's seeds can really grow extensively on the frozen land of Lingyao City, it will be a blessing for the people.

While people were cultivating the land and carrying out construction in the rear, Xiao's army and Qian Shuo's army were also launching battles in the front.

On New Year's Eve, what awaited the Shanmeng and Zhongjue people was not fireworks, but countless artillery fire.

They found out the locations of the two countries' armies in advance, blew up their food supplies in advance, and buried explosives near the military camps.

In just one hour, both countries were reduced to ruins.

But that was not the end. They took advantage of the victory to pursue and took in the remaining countries, tribes, including Xiaorong, and even some small ethnic groups in the far north.

Those who surrender will not be killed!

But those who refused to surrender were all killed.

In this bitterly cold place in the far north, it is extremely difficult for them to survive. Killing them can save them from suffering.

After so many days of tempering, the soldiers of the Xiao family army and the Qianshuo army had already become unstoppable. Coupled with Shi Cixi's hot weapons, they were able to wipe out the entire northern border in just seven or eight days.

Although the pair of female soldiers trained by Chi Xin were not yet capable of going to the battlefield, they helped clean up the battlefield after the war.

Xiao Jingyan deliberately left the Emperor Xiaorong to Chi Xin to deal with on her own, allowing her to avenge her family.

After the war, Xiao Jingyan and Wanyan Longmu gathered together and held a huge celebration banquet.

The entire celebration banquet consisted almost entirely of modern delicacies sent to them by Shi Xi, and Wanyan Longmu enjoyed the meal very much.

"Prince Wanyan, try this. It's called beer and is brewed from wheat."

"The fairy said that it would appear at every gathering of the immortals in the divine realm."

As he spoke, Xiao Jingyan took the initiative to open a bottle of beer for Wanyan Longmu and asked him to blow directly into the bottle with the green stick!

Wanyan Longmu can also drink quite a lot.

They are very cold, so drinking more wine can warm them up.

The two drank and talked happily. During the meal, Xiao Jingyan suggested:

"We have won a great victory in this battle. Now the people of the entire northern region will submit to us. I have thought again and again. After all, our Xiao family army is still under the jurisdiction of the Great Yong Dynasty."

"The entire burden of being the King of the North now rests with you, Prince Wanyan."

Xiao Jingyan has already started to flatter him.

When Wanyan Longmu heard that Xiao Jingyan wanted him to manage the entire northern border alone, he immediately felt halfway satisfied.

"No! Absolutely not!"

He quickly denied it.

"The North was conquered by the two of us brothers together. We should divide it according to the merits, you have more and I have less."

"Wouldn't it be against the rules for you to give me the entire North?"

Wanyan Longmu is really not greedy at all!

Xiao Jingyan smiled with satisfaction. He felt that this person would definitely become his strongest helper in the future.

"Since you said we are brothers, then don't be polite to me today."

"You will be in charge of the entire northern border. However, if I need you someday, I believe Prince Wanyan will not stand idly by."

Xiao Jingyan's words left Wanyan Longmu unable to refute.

Under his coaxing, Wanyan Longmu finally agreed to take on the title of King of the North.
