Invincible Iron Army 69, all of them turned over the book flag
Liu Jiao was shocked from the start of the competition and only closed her mouth now, she was really too surprised.
The judges of the match counted the results and declared Wang An the winner. Wang An's army cheered upon hearing this, while the crowd was extremely indifferent.
The judge said: "Wang An, you have already won, and must accept the challenge of the next team. You can choose the match time, I suggest you choose tomorrow, so that you can rest fully before the match."
Wang An said: "Rather than choosing a good time, it's better to take them down now. I'll take them all down."
The judge was surprised and said: "Your team has just finished the game, they are very tired, their combat effectiveness will decrease. Are you sure to start the game now?" Wang An nodded.
The leader of the next team was Jiang Yan Zheng. He was extremely angry because he had been underestimated. Wang An actually chose to proceed with the next match without a break.
Jiang Yan Zheng decided to give Wang An's arrogant army a show of color, his soldiers were also very indignant and decided to defend the dignity of the army.
The battle began, but this time the end came even faster, as Wang An's army was more familiar with the use of the grand formation. Jiang Yanzheng's army was defeated and Jiang Yanzheng himself fell in battle. Of course, Wang An also died in battle this time.
Jiang Yan Zheng and Wang An, two "lost souls", began their conversation.
Jiang Yanzheng: "Why did you choose to fight our army immediately, is it because you underestimate us?" Jiang Yanzheng's soldiers also felt angry and clenched their fists after hearing this.
Wang An: "No, immediate battle is to make you have no time to prepare, and not let you find the way to break our big formation".
Jiang Yanjing felt a little better in her heart, but the result was still very cruel, and the referee ruled that they lost this game.
"After the judge announced the result of the match, he said: 'Wang An, you can now choose to continue fighting or rest and accept the challenge again.' Wang An replied without hesitation: 'I choose to continue fighting.'"
The battle resumed, and the winning pace of Wang An's army was slightly shortened again. Wang An's army became more familiar with the use of large formations. However, the only thing that made Wang An feel a little regretful was that he had lost another formation.

One morning, Wang An consecutively played ten games and defeated ten teams.
The audience watched from shock to numbness, Liu Jiao was extremely shocked, and she couldn't speak until the end of the game. The result of this match is really beyond expectation.
Wang An's army created a miracle, and in just one short morning, they knocked everyone to the ground.
Wang An's soldiers all had an unreal feeling, wondering if this was real. Did they really do it? They looked again at the person who had created countless miracles - Wang An. Wang An was now very unhappy, having died ten times in the previous battle. Dying ten times in just one morning, playing dead ten times. This slightly affected his mood.
Liu Jiao and the various defensive envoys arrived at the Cao arena to award prizes to Wang An's army. However, Du Lin's heart was even more complicated, thinking that their team had done many things to make Wang An lose the competition, but unexpectedly, it made Wang An win instead, and his prestige was unprecedentedly enhanced. The crowd was still scolding Wu Ge, and they were still resentful of this guy who made them lose money.
Liu Jiao thought to herself: "We've all underestimated Wang An, maybe my previous impression of him was wrong. Wang An is indeed a great general who can win different types of wars. From now on, I'll be nicer to Wang An and his troops." How will she be nicer to them? By being even more strict with her demands. If Wang An knew that Liu Jiao would be nicer to his troops in this way, he might burst into tears.
The banker of the gambling den made a common decision after the game, rolled up his money and ran away. However, as soon as they walked out the door, they were stopped by smiling and friendly soldiers who said: "We are under King An's command, he told us to take care of you, before you settle our accounts, you're not allowed to leave." The banker angrily said: "King An, you scourge. You can go and plague the Xiongnu, why do you have to plague us?"
These village elders were brought to Wang An's residence and began a conversation with him.
A landlord said: "We can't repay your money, Lord Wang. You see how it is, we'll do as you say." He then put on a look of being unafraid of boiling water like a dead pig. The soldiers under Wang An were extremely angry because their chance to get rich had vanished.
Wang An said: "Everyone, don't worry, we also know your difficulties. How about this? Hand over the gambling funds you've collected to me, and we'll consider the remaining money as our investment. We'll give you a 20% annual dividend. What do you think?" The casino owner was immediately deeply moved and said to Wang An: "Lord Wang, we used to think you were a scourge, but now we realize you're actually a good person!" Wang An said: "I've always been a good person."
The people of Yu Yang were all dejected, some even staking their entire family's property. Although the people did not say anything out loud, they still had some discontent towards Wang An in their hearts.
In Yu Yang, many family conflicts began to unfold, with wives blaming their husbands and losing all their property. How will they live in the future? Some even want a divorce.
Wealthy merchants lost money and property, but they didn't care, for them it was just a pastime, not worth taking too seriously.
The husband who was blamed also worried about the future of his child. At this time, a message spread throughout the streets and alleys of Guyang, Wang An was willing to return part of the gambling capital.
The standard for return is that the militia of the southern city of Yuyang will be returned 100%, and the militia in other parts of Yuyang City will be returned 90% because they have participated in the defense war of Yuyang and are also considered to be meritorious ministers of the Great Jin.
Fifty percent of the small traders from Youyang or other places will be refunded. Because they are all small businesses, once these funds are lost, their future livelihoods will be very difficult.
The Jiedushi and Fangyushi returned one hundred percent of their bets, as they were also meritorious officials who had defended Youyang. However, in private, Wang An said to Jiang Cai: "These guys are our superiors, if we don't return their bets, our future days will be difficult."
Wealthy merchants and traders do not get their stakes back, because they are wealthy and it doesn't make a difference to them. At least, Wang An thinks they don't need the money, which is enough. Ordinary soldiers' stakes are returned 50%. In Yu Yang Liu Jiao Jiao, although she does not withhold the soldiers' military pay, but the lower-ranking officers do, and the soldiers have a hard time making ends meet.
Wang An also wrote an article, advising the people of the whole city not to continue participating in gambling. He said that gambling is a rare and easy way to seek comfort, but it ignores the family's livelihood for life. However, whether they can listen or not depends on the people of Fuyu themselves.
After Wang An returned the gambling capital, the people of Yu Yang praised him unanimously. Even Du Lin and other defensive envoys had a better impression of him. Liu Jiao Jiao also had a slightly better impression of Wang An.
Although wealthy merchants were somewhat dissatisfied, they were ignored because at that time, the status of merchants was not high and no one cared about their feelings.
After Wang An returned the gambling capital, there were still 500,000 taels of silver left. Wang An decided to invest this part of the money. If it was distributed to the soldiers' hands, they would suddenly become rich and their fighting spirit would be corrupted. The remaining 70,000 taels of silver from the other bets were kept by Wang An as a salary for the soldiers. The total amount of money that Wang An won was 700,000 taels of silver, excluding the 500,000 taels of silver distributed by the Jiedushi, and the rest was Wang An's stake.
The officers of Yu Yang are now discussing Wang An's great formation, considering how to apply it to their own military training to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Many outsiders who heard about Wang An with guns came in groups to Yu Yang to sell their secrets after buying a secret word for 10,000 taels of silver.
Military officers, jiedushi, and defensive envoys also came to the front of Wang An's military camp to discuss and learn about Wang An's gun methods. However, unexpectedly, Wang An's army actually returned all their guns to the armory, and his soldiers stopped training and using them. Every day, the soldiers started practicing crossbow shooting, and only in their spare time would they practice knife slashing.
These people were completely puzzled, but Wang An did not give an explanation. In Wang An's view, this training session for the competition had already greatly delayed his plan.
Liu Jiao specially found Wang An to talk. Liu Jiao asked: "Wang An, why don't you continue practicing the long spear and why don't you continue arranging your own big formation?"
Wang An said, "Because it's no longer useful, our martial arts competition is seriously disconnected from real combat. If we continue to train like this, it will lead to serious consequences, where what we learn is not what we use, and what we use is not what we learn." Liu Jiao Jiao listened silently without a word.
Wang An's topic continues to maintain its popularity, and people are always concerned about his every move.
Liu Jiao left the troops that participated in the martial arts competition behind, hoping to lead these troops to suppress bandits. Liu Jiao thought to herself: "The Left Mountain Carving bandits have a total of over 5,000 people, we mobilize 20,000 people, and we can definitely eliminate them."
Liu Jiao was preparing to complete this military action. She didn't tell Wang An the plan, because she didn't want to live in Wang An's shadow.
Liu Jiao had already prepared the military rations, grain rations, and planned out the route of march. In short, everything was ready. Liu Jiao also conducted a detailed reconnaissance, even knowing the number of troops and personnel configuration of Zuo Shan's bandits. Liu Jiao disdainfully said to Du Lin and others: "Our reconnaissance work is extremely thorough, and Zuo Shan should be completely unaware of it. He thinks that by changing into Japanese pirate clothes he can deceive us, what a joke."
