In the second year of Yongkang, the great battle between Yan Dynasty and the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms was the first large-scale anti-aggression war since Yan Dynasty unified the Central Plains and established its regime!

This time, the imperial court sent a total of 800,000 troops to the west and north, and they all returned victoriously!

After more than two months on the road, the two armies arrived in the capital. Emperor Yongkang personally led all civil and military officials to a pavilion over ten miles from the city to welcome them, and the people also flocked to the capital. This battle was truly a decisive victory, and the whole country rejoiced, with congratulations coming from all directions. After this, there were no major wars in the Central Plains for more than 50 years, and the Yongkang Dynasty ushered in the prosperous era.

The highest-ranking general killed in the Western Expedition was General Ji, who was promoted to the rank of General and was as famous as General Shang; followed by the military supervisor Huo Jincheng, Zhuo Qingmu, the vanguard general under the King of Pingnan, and five other generals from other generals.

The highest-ranking disabled general was the admiral of the Wuyi Battalion - Ma Fuquan.

Emperor Yongkang generously rewarded the three armies. The Prince of Pingnan, already a first-rank Duke of Protecting the Country, was awarded 10,000 taels of gold and 100 million silver coins. The remaining generals were rewarded according to their military achievements. General Ji Lao, who had died in battle, was posthumously awarded the first-rank Duke of Zhenguo, Huo Jincheng the third-rank Duke of Gongxian, and Zhuo Qingmu the seventh-rank Duke of Yong'an.

Ma Fuquan was initially named the Mighty General of Zhenxi, but the Wuyi Battalion's soldiers were a bit heated. He had broken the Five Poison Formation and had made a remarkable overnight trip to Li County in the north, claiming they were truly extraordinary. What was the difference between the living dead and the dead? Furthermore, Ma Fuquan's common origins made it easier for the soldiers to sympathize with him, and they all felt sorry for him.

Emperor Yongkang considered it carefully and, considering that he was indeed brave and powerful, he finally changed his title to the eighth rank Prince of Wu.

The above titles can be inherited without change.

Strangely enough, after Ma Fuquan was named Lord Wu, his body became stiff and covered with corpse spots in just half an hour. Tian cried bitterly. She would rather spend her whole life guarding Ma Fuquan's fresh body than accept the title of Lord Wu.

The story of Ma Fuquan became a curious event that people in the capital talked about after dinner.

Jian Ning was conferred the title of General Ningyuan, a fourth-rank official. She was the first female general in the history of this time and space. Ding Youtian was a disciple of the Southern Prime Minister, and the Da Yan regime was established by the Southern Prime Minister with the assistance of the previous emperor. He was conferred the title of Taibao. Although the Yan Dynasty abolished the system of three officials, there was only Taibao and Taifu but no Taishi, but Taibao and Taifu were both of the first-rank official, with fiefs of 10,000 households.

Qin Yifan was appointed as the Minister of War, a fourth-rank official. Like Ding Youtian, he would go to the capital to take up his post as soon as his term of office was over.

In addition, the spirit Yang Dali was named the Great Immortal Yang Jinjiao by Emperor Yongkang, and a temple was built for him in Danyang, enjoying incense from all four directions. Qiu Ge was named the Imperial City Snake King, Guo Guo was named the Nine Provinces Cat King, and Bai Mei was named the Nine Heavens Crow King. The four silver foxes were also named fox immortals according to their respective names.

Emperor Yongkang officially announced to the world that he appointed Liu the Blind as the Prime Minister's father, and he still held the position of Prime Minister.

Second to none, above ten thousand people!

All civil and military officials understood tacitly that the position of prime minister would be reserved for Ding Youtian, a disciple of the Southern Prime Minister.

More than a month had passed when Jian Ning and his men received the news, and it had been nearly four months since the army arrived in the capital. Ding Youtian still had half a year left in his term, and the written rewards awarded by the court to Dingxian Village and the villages in Baisha Town were also successively conveyed and distributed by the prefecture and county officials.

When Erniu and Sanniu learned that their mother had been named the first female general of the Yan Dynasty, they were even happier than Jian Ning. They ran to Duan Xinyan and chattered. Erniu looked very proud, as if she had been named a female general. She made a face at Duan Xinyan and said, "Auntie, my mother is a female general now, and you are nothing. You can't order me and my sister to help you take care of Little Hammer anymore."

Sanniu didn't want to take care of him either, mainly because taking care of her younger brother would take up too much of their time. Especially since Jian Ning became a female general, the two of them were more interested in practicing martial arts and were not willing to waste time on making little Langtou happy.

"Hmph, if you don't want to bring it, then don't bring it. But you two don't know, do you?" Duan Xinyan lay leisurely on the lounge chair, scooping ginkgo paste with a silver spoon and putting it into her mouth. Then she straightened up and told the two of them to come closer, lowering her voice and saying, "Don't tell them that I told you two that. I'm telling you, the position of general can also be hereditary. Do you know what hereditary means?"

Erniu and Sanniu shook their heads.

Duan Xinyan was secretly pleased with herself. It had been a long time since she had seen the two of them fighting. She was trying to provoke a fight between them, so she deliberately coaxed them, "You two are so stupid! You don't even know this. This means that you two can inherit your mother's title, but there will only be one person. Whoever is more powerful in the future will inherit it, and that person will be the second female general of our Dayan Dynasty. Do you understand?"

"The brother Su you like is only a vanguard general, not a general yet. Think about it, if one of you becomes a general, he will definitely look up to her."

Duan Xinyan added another handful of firewood.

"Aunt, who do you think is more powerful, me or my second sister?" Sanniu asked, brushing down the loose hair on her forehead.

"Of course I'm better than you!" Erniu glared at Sanniu and shouted without waiting for Duan Xinyan to speak.

"You can't even beat me." Sanniu's face fell.

"Who said I can't beat you? I'm your elder sister, I'll give in to you." Even if Erniu can't win with fists and feet but with words, she still wants to be the first.

Duan Xinyan was secretly pleased with herself for letting the two of you just play around, but she pretended to say, "No fighting, what's there for you two to fight about? You're both pretty much the same. They say there's no first in literature and no second in martial arts. It's hard to judge who's better in literature, but it's different with martial arts. You can definitely tell who's better. But it's hard to say for you two. Anyway, I see you're both evenly matched, so I can't tell who's better."

After saying this, Duan Xinyan lay down again and continued to leisurely scoop up the ginkgo paste and eat it happily.

Erniu looked at Duan Xinyan, her eyes rolling, and suddenly said, "Sister, let's not be fooled by our aunt. She wants to instigate a fight between us so she can tell mother. Let's go and ask mother."

She took Sanniu with her and left.

"Hey! Stop right there!" Duan Xinyan got up in a hurry, the silver spoon fell to the ground, and the ginkgo paste also smeared on the lapel of her new summer shirt, making her scream in anger.

While she was having dinner, Jian Ning scolded her, "How can you be an aunt like this? What good will it do you to pick a fight between them? Don't think that I won't teach you a lesson just because you're their mother now. If you dare to do that again, I'll break your legs."

Duan Xinyan was already afraid of Jian Ning, and now that she was a female general, she was even more imposing. She shrank her neck and dared not say a word.

That night, Jane Ning went to bed early. After falling asleep, she had a dream. In the dream, she heard someone laughing in her ear. She turned her head and saw Yang Dali standing in front of her bed with his whole body covered in gold.

[Uncle Yang, why are you here?]

[Haha, I've come specially to thank you, Princess, for your great kindness. My Spiritual Alpaca Clan finally has a Flying Immortal. Princess, you're a man of your word. To repay your kindness, I will return the favor. Princess, just wait for the good news.]

[What's good to believe?]

Yang Dali raised his head and left with a big laugh.

[Uncle Sheep!]

Jane Ning reached out to pull him and was suddenly awakened from her dream.
