Invincible Iron Army 63, Wanli Long Wall Book Flag

  Wang An got drunk, and his soldiers also got drunk. As the saying goes, "A thousand cups are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend", let alone these brothers who have been through life and death together.

  Liu Jiao came to inspect Wang An's army, because this army was her hope. Liu Jiao had always hoped that Wang An would train the army into a model for the entire army and then promote his methods. However, Liu Jiao also had a prejudice against Wang An, thinking that his victories were due to luck.

  She specially organized this martial arts competition, on the one hand hoping to see the real strength of the entire army, on the other hand hoping to see the overall level of the Youyang army through this competition. In addition, she wanted to improve the combat effectiveness of the entire army through this competition and hoped to set off a wave of military training in the army. Finally, she wanted to see Wang An's special methods for military training through this martial arts competition, so as to promote them throughout the army.

  Liu Jiao still doesn't want to promote Wang An, she has always been biased against him, thinking that he is unorthodox and uses troops in an unconventional way, always coming up with crooked ideas. Liu Jiao thinks this will corrupt the army.

  When Liu Jiao arrived at Wang An's military camp, she found that although there were guards on duty, the entire courtyard was filled with soldiers who had gotten drunk, and the smell of vomit was so strong that it was hard to stay there for long.

  Liu Jiao felt extremely angry and immediately ordered the guards to take Wang An away, preparing to punish him.

  Wang An was woken up and felt an unusual headache. Yesterday's wine still had a great impact on him.

  He saw Liu Jiao's anger, but still didn't realize the severity of the situation.

  Wang An looked at the rope binding him and said to Liu Jiao, "Sister, untie me, don't joke with me." Liu Jiao angrily said, "Who's joking with you? You actually let your guard down and got the soldiers drunk. If someone launches a surprise attack on you, you'll all be annihilated." Wang An said, "Sister, don't be so serious. It's normal for friends to have a few drinks when they meet."

  Liu Jiao said: "As a soldier, you should always be on guard, but you actually got drunk in the army, and the whole army was unguarded. What kind of reason is this?" Wang An said: "Who says I have no defense?" Liu Jiao asked in surprise: "Where is your defense?" Wang An said: "I've already handed over the defensive task to you. The garrison in Youyang has approached 20,000 people. In such a heavily guarded and fortified city, it's actually letting 500 people take on their own defensive tasks. What kind of reason is this?" Liu Jiao accused him: "You only know how to quibble, but no matter how you quibble here, you can't change one fact, that is, you not only drank with the soldiers, but also got drunk. This is absolutely not allowed in military discipline." Wang An said: "General, when people are clear-headed, there's nothing to worry about. You can't be too serious about things."

  At this time, someone beside him reported: "Report to the master, a person outside claims to be Jiang and asks to see the master." Liu Jiao said: "Let him come in".

  Jiang came in and hastily paid his respects to the governor. Liu said: "No need for formalities."

  Jiang Cai said: "Commander, sir, Wang An was also confused for a moment. You are magnanimous, so please forgive him."

  Liu Jiao said: "Brother Jiang, I'm not unwilling to forgive him, but he actually got drunk from drinking, this is a violation of military discipline. If I don't punish him, how can I govern the army?"

  Jiang Cai said: "Wang An is wrong, but please, Commander, consider his many military achievements in the defense of Yu Yang City and forgive him this once." Liu Jiao Jiao said: "Many people have made contributions to the defense of Yu Yang City. If everyone disobeyed military discipline like him, wouldn't our army be in chaos?"

  Wang An said: "General, I have made military achievements and eliminated many Xiongnu, but it seems that I have not been rewarded. You are now governing the army, with merits not being rewarded and crimes being punished, isn't this too unfair?" Liu Jiaojiao said: "You don't reflect on my mistakes, yet you dare to criticize my faults, take him away and give him 50 military rods!" The guards were about to drag Wang An away.

  At this time, a guard suddenly came in and said to the governor Liu Jiao: "It's not good, my lord. The people of Puyang are gathered in front of the governor's mansion, demanding the release of Wang An." Jiang Cai thought to himself: "This is great, with the support of the people of Puyang, the governor will release Wang An." Liu Jiao became even more furious: "Wang An, you actually incited the people and caused chaos. Take him away and give him 100 military lashes, then throw him into the big prison. Send someone to mobilize the troops and disperse the crowd outside."

  Jiang Cai really became anxious and thought: How did the petitioning crowd come? Things have become even worse.

  In the eyes of the high-ranking officials, these foolish commoners are not worth mentioning, their ideas have always been laughable.

  The crowd outside was quickly dispersed by the fully armed troops. Jiang continued to beg Liu Jiao to let him go, and Liu's mood had also improved a lot, preparing to find an excuse to release him. At this time, Wang An said: "Liu Jiao, you'd better let me go, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." Liu's anger flared up again, saying: "You dare to threaten me, I won't let you go, and see what they can do to me."

  At this time, the guards outside came in to report: "It's not good, Lord Governor, the people outside are armed and heading towards the governor's mansion." Liu Jiao was shocked and said: "These people have gone back to get their weapons." After the defense of Puyang, many civilians became militia and owned weapons.

  Liu Jiao felt a sense of unease in her heart, and she ordered: "Summon the troops to block their way." The guards obeyed and left.

  After a while, the guard came in to report again: "It's not good, the civilians attacked the army in front and dozens of soldiers were injured. The remaining troops dispersed in a hurry." Liu Jiao was stunned and thought to herself, "The fishermen of Yang are different from those in other places. They have participated in the war against the Xiongnu and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong."

  Liu Jiao was still at a loss, she turned her head to look at Wang An and found that Wang An had fallen asleep. Jiang Cai was secretly laughing on the side, thinking that at this time Wang An was pretending to sleep, as if he had nothing to do with it.

  Liu Jiao came to Wang An's side, gently shaking him and saying: "Wang An, wake up." Wang An opened his eyes: "Where is this? Who are you? I don't even remember what happened after drinking that wine." Liu Jiao had no choice but to continue speaking in a humble tone: "Wang An, it's my fault, please forgive me. Tell the people outside to disperse." Wang An said: "As the saying goes, 'the one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.' Liu Jiao quickly untied the rope for Wang An.

  Wang An, with his numb arms tied behind him by a rope, said to Liu Jiao: "General, I will go and calm down the people for you, but next time you think of me, I hope it's not when you're in trouble." After finishing speaking, Wang An walked out the door. Liu Jiao was taken aback, thinking that this wasn't like Wang An's personality. According to Wang An's character, he should have asked for many benefits, so what happened today? Had he changed his ways?

  The militia of Youyang also had grievances in their hearts. The merits of defeating the Xiongnu were all taken away by these officials, who spent every day indulging in feasts and wine. They did not violate military discipline, but we drank a toast with Wang An and thought it was a violation of military discipline. What kind of logic is this?

  Wang An had a great reputation throughout the city of Yu, and when people learned that Wang An was to be blamed by the governor, his old subordinates, as well as the militia who defended the east, west, and north cities, rushed to plead for him, along with the officials and soldiers who fought alongside him.

  These people are not for anything else, but to save the hero in their hearts, who at the critical moment of Youyang, with his own strength, supported hard and finally achieved a military feat, defeating the invincible Xiongnu troops.

  Wang An rescued everyone in the city, moving almost all the people of Yu Yang, moving all the people of Da Jin, but not moving the officials of Yu Yang.

  These common people have simple ideas, they think Wang An is the guarantee of Youyang, the pillar of Youyang, and the Great Wall of Youyang. Before Wang An arrived in Youyang, who had heard that it was possible to annihilate nearly a thousand enemy troops in one battle? That's the total number of enemy troops eliminated in the entire Youyang area for a year!

  Wang An's army annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops and also resisted the attack of nearly 450,000 Huns on Miyang, which was a great victory unprecedented in history. With this victory, Liu Jiao almost became a national hero, his name spread throughout the Northern Dynasty, and Miyang City became famous all over the world. Miyang became a symbol of the victory of the Great Jin people. Wang An used this victory to show everyone in the Great Jin that the Huns could be defeated. Only the creators of this war miracle remained unknown.

  In the past, the Xiongnu's Chanyu, Right Wise King and Left Wise King were renowned in Dai Jin, with the people of Youyang regarding them as demonic figures sent by heaven to punish them. However, these seemingly invincible figures were utterly defeated before Wang An, with the Right Wise King being trampled underfoot countless times, the Xiongnu's Chanyu fleeing in the dead of night and the Left Wise King being beaten into a state of nudity by Wang An's army, ultimately succumbing to cold and exhaustion. These once-mighty figures were brought down from their pedestals by Wang An.

  The people of Yu Yang risked being arrested and killed, but they still wanted to bring out the hero of Yu Yang. The people had a balance in their hearts, who had merit and who had fault, they remembered clearly.

  When Wang An was released and walked out of the mansion of the Jiedushi, there were thunderous cheers outside, as the people were celebrating.

  Liu Jiao's face showed displeasure, thinking that Wang An's undeserved reputation would make him fall flat on his face in future battles.

  Dulin was also sneering in his heart, thinking that this martial arts competition would definitely pull Wang An down from the pedestal.

  Zuo Shan was driven out of Yu Yang City, and the governor of Yu Yang could not let such an uncertain and unstable factor stay in Yu Yang City. At the moment of leaving, Zuo Shan made a very stupid decision, sending letters to various places, hoping to gather the bandits from San Shan Wu Yue together to attack Yu Yang and kill Wang An.
