As the saying goes, times create heroes. If Da Gan had remained calm and uneventful, he would never have been able to advance another level.

But it is precisely because of this internal turmoil that more opportunities will emerge.

Seize the opportunity, and even if you don't reach the highest official rank, you'll still enjoy endless glory and wealth!

As long as you stick close to the Kim family, that's enough.

Of course, before that, the rebels must be suppressed, which is the key point.

Xiong Qian would not underestimate the rebels; their battle at Yanluo Mountain should serve as a wake-up call, and for this reason, he has been continuously training his troops these past few days.

Meanwhile, the scouts sent out were also investigating the rebels' movements.

If we are to win this battle, we must be fully prepared. Next, we just need to wait for them to step into Baili Plain and give them a head-on blow!

Looking at the troops training in the distance, Xiong Qian slowly withdrew his gaze, a smile appearing on his lips.

He is currently very satisfied with this army.

It could be said that this was the strongest army he had ever led in his life, and the feeling of having such a large army in his hands made people feel a little smug.

"Hmm, no wonder there are always rebellions. If all these soldiers were my men, and could follow me wholeheartedly, wouldn't I be able to..." Xiong Qian narrowed his eyes, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself.

But he quickly put this unrealistic idea out of his mind.

These soldiers, in the end, still belonged to the General Who Guards the Nation.

At this moment, a military officer rode up on horseback.

"General, as expected, the rebels have been advancing steadily. The cities of Yuyuan and Taizhong, which are closest to Yanluo Mountain, surrendered without any resistance."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Qian let out a cold laugh:

"Hmph, they're all a bunch of short-sighted incompetent fools!"

"If he dares to surrender today, once the rebels are suppressed, all of these surrendered individuals will be brought to justice and executed!"

"They can't blame anyone else for this; they chose the wrong side, ha!"
