I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

The army heading towards the Black Waterway in the distance was the elite cavalry of the Six Garrisons led by Wang Yingjie.

This army has about 5,000 soldiers, all of whom are elite troops from the Six Garrisons. They will not attack unless there is a major battle.

But now, it has to be used to deal with two thousand northern barbarians.

Wang Yingjie was quite dissatisfied with this.

However, the Governor-General has issued a death order, requiring Jiang Zuo to be rescued immediately.

Wang Yingjie was extremely reluctant, and at this moment he led his soldiers and walked slowly towards the Black Waterway.

"General, if there is smoke from cooking, could it be over there?"

The deputy general under his command stepped forward and said.

The bursts of noise coming from this direction just now attracted their attention.

"So what? No rush."

Wang Yingjie said calmly.

"But the Governor has ordered us to find Jiang Zuo as soon as possible. General, you must not delay."

The deputy general persuaded.

Wang Yingjie turned his head and glared at the deputy general fiercely.

The deputy general immediately lowered his head and apologized, "I spoke too much."

Wang Yingjie sneered, "Deputy General Li, it seems you are very anxious. There is only one county magistrate in Jiangzuo. Is it worth sending so many troops to rescue him?"

"But General, Jiang Zuo is now the General of the North. Although he is not as powerful as you, General Wang, he was at least appointed by His Majesty..."

Lieutenant General Li continued to persuade patiently.

Wang Yingjie's leisurely attitude made the deputy general quite helpless.

"He volunteered to go out of the city to fight the barbarians. I didn't force him. If he dies, we will have no responsibility at all. Now you want me to lead people out of the city to find him. Haha, you are really hurting others and yourself..."

At this moment, Wang Yingjie wished that Jiang Zuo would die on the battlefield.

Once Jiang Zuo dies, Wang Yingjie can take over Anding County legitimately.

He had never expected that a small county like Anding could have so many sophisticated weapons and armors that could fully arm an army of thousands of people.

"Jiang Zuo secretly hoarded so many weapons and armors, could it be that he was planning a rebellion?" Wang Yingjie guessed secretly in his heart.

"General, why don't you let me lead a thousand cavalrymen to search the north first?"

Lieutenant General Li said again.

"No."

Wang Yingjie refused mercilessly.

"But General..."

"If you disobey military orders and cause losses, can you afford it?"

Wang Yingjie asked with some dignity.

Lieutenant General Li was speechless. He even didn't want to say anything more at this moment because of Wang Yingjie's usual domineering attitude.

"That Jiang Zuo was also reckless. He took two hundred men with him to die, and now he wants me to collect his body."

Wang Yingjie said this with a hint of mockery on his face.

He doesn't care about Jiang Zuo's life or death.

The Six Garrison Army was moving slowly towards the Black Waterway when suddenly a fast horse appeared before them. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the soldier on the horse was wearing the uniform of the Yan army.

The man rode his horse to a place not far from the Six Towns Army, and then stopped to observe.

"Who is coming?"

Lieutenant General Li shouted.

"Officers and soldiers of Anding County, I wonder if you are from the Six Towns Army?"

the man asked.

"That's right." Lieutenant General Li replied.

Hearing this, the spy turned his horse around and went straight back to the Black Waterway.

Wang Yingjie frowned, feeling confused.

Were those soldiers from Anding County just now?

Now, most of the military forces in the entire Anding County are under the command of Wang Yingjie.

Only the two hundred people taken away by Jiang Zuo will not belong to the Six Garrison Army for the time being.

"Could it be that Jiang Zuo is still alive?"

Wang Yingjie was curious.

"Or maybe Jiang Zuo didn't go to fight against the Northern Barbarians at all, and just found an excuse to withdraw 200 troops..."

With some doubts, Wang Yingjie led 5,600 cavalrymen of the Zhenjun Army to the Heishui Road.

The scene before him stunned Wang Yingjie.

I saw that the officers and soldiers of Anding County were surrounding hundreds of prisoners.

The scene was covered in ashes and corpses were scattered all over the ground. It was obvious that a great battle had just taken place.

Yang Feng turned around and saw the Six Towns Army coming. He said to Jiang Zuo, "Master Jiang, look."

Jiang Zuo turned his head and just glanced at Wang Yingjie, not caring at all. He continued to say to Suolu, the leader of the Karen tribe, "How about cooperating with Anding County?"

Suolu was still furious and cursed: "You bastard, kill me if you want. How can we, the sons of the gods, cooperate with your Yan State?"

"Return the Son of God..." Jiang Zuo smiled calmly, turned around and ordered: "Take this guy back first."

At this time, Wang Yingjie rode forward and asked in a cold voice, "Master Jiang, what happened?"

He looked at the captives with barbarian faces and couldn't help wondering, "Could it be that Jiang Zuo really won the battle?"

"Reporting to General Wang, these barbarians from the grassland just happened to fall into the trap of our Great Yan army. It was just such a coincidence that we defeated them and captured a barbarian leader."

Jiang Zuo's words were plain and calm.

"Captured the leader?"

Wang Yingjie frowned and looked at Solu who was tied up.

Two hundred versus two thousand, and he actually won?

"I guess there were quite a few casualties, right?"

Wang Yingjie asked in confusion.

He never expected that Jiang Zuo could actually defeat two thousand barbarian cavalry with only two hundred soldiers.

How exactly is this done?

"No one from our army was killed!"

Yang Feng rushed to respond. When he said this, he deliberately raised his voice and looked at Wang Yingjie with a somewhat smug smile.

This...how is this possible!

A look of extreme astonishment suddenly flashed across Wang Yingjie's eyes.

"How is it possible that no one was killed?"

He clearly didn't believe it.

"If you don't believe me, General, you can count our numbers."

Yang Feng smiled. He was also very unhappy with Wang Yingjie. Now that he had won the battle, he would of course take the opportunity to show off.

There was a hint of surprise in Wang Yingjie's eyes. He looked around at the two hundred officers and soldiers and found that they all seemed to be carrying an iron pipe and a saber behind them. Apart from that, they were not even all wearing armor.

Can we defeat the brave and warlike grassland people with just these weapons and armor?

What a joke!

"General Wang's arrival is just in time to transport these prisoners back to Anding."

Jiang Zuo said this again.

Wang Yingjie did indeed show his displeasure and refused, "We are not here to help you clean up your mess."

Having said that, Wang Yingjie rode his horse back and led his troops back to Anding County with great doubts.

After the Six Towns Army left, Yang Feng couldn't help but curse: "This son of a bitch, he always looks so stinky, as if he owes him millions of taels."

"Whatever. After all, he is from the Six Towns Army. It's better not to have any dealings with him."

Jiang Zuo chose to stay away.

"Sir, the prisoners have been tied up, we can go back." said a soldier.

"Go, triumphant!"

Jiang Zuo mounted his horse.

"Triumph!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

Today's battle was quite exciting.

Most importantly, none of them were killed, which was definitely worth a big banquet and celebration.
