A huge military camp is located within the mountain stream.
Due to the dangerous terrain, it was only necessary to build high walls on the flat area outside the mountain and then control the peaks on both sides to ensure that the military camp was impregnable and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The wall was made of wood, about ten meters high, with soldiers patrolling back and forth, most of them looking bored.
Since defeating the Zhenxi Army, Prince Yi's army has almost controlled the entire Quanzhou, and this place is not dangerous.
However, just as the soldiers were preparing to change shifts, the sound of orderly horse hooves came from afar.
"Which unit? Why didn't you notify us in advance?" the patrol captain on the wall asked.
The messenger soldier nearby hurried over to report: "They are not friendly troops, but suspected imperial troops who have been routed. There are only about 700 of them."
After hearing this, the tense atmosphere at the scene gradually eased, and there was even laughter.
"They say the Zhenxi Army's cavalry is invincible, but that's all they are. Are they planning to raid the camp? Haha!"
"I actually hope they really come and use cavalry to attack the city. Is the commander a three-year-old child?"
While chatting and laughing, they discovered that the cavalry had really arrived.
The sound of horse hooves grew closer and closer until the distance between the two sides was only 800 meters.
Qin Mu leaped out on his horse, soaring into the air with a single toe tap. He shouted, "I am the brave cavalry captain Qin Mu. You rebels, surrender immediately, or I will slaughter you."
Shock on the wall!
The infinite realm.
Only those who are strong enough to walk in the air can do so.
After the shock came fear, confusion, and helplessness.
Why would a powerful person in the Wuji realm become a cavalry captain?
Logically speaking, masters of this level are among the best in any army, and their status is second only to the commander.
After subduing the enemy, Qin Mu flashed to the high wall and punched the heavy wooden door.
There was a loud bang, the wooden door shattered, and the earth shook.
In an instant, the morale of the defenders collapsed. They didn't even have time to escape, let alone defend.
Seeing this, Qin Mu felt relieved.
"Thanks to the senior for reminding me. I am no longer the same person I was before. Facing this kind of enemy, I don't need any strategies at all. I can just crush them with my might. Brothers, follow me and charge in."
The seven hundred cavalrymen charged into the camp, but encountered no significant resistance at all. The only resistance was the rebels fleeing in all directions.
As for the defending general, he ran away when the wooden gate was broken.
…
"The extraordinary people are the key to deciding the outcome of the battle. As long as they are strong enough, what can a large army do? But the problem is that even the Wuji realm is not safe. The next realm is the seventh level, which is the Star-Picking realm. According to Qin Mu's current strengthening progress, how long will it take to break through?" Chen An expressed his concern.
At least five years
"Five years is too long. If Prince Yi dares to rebel, he must be protected by a powerful Star-Picking Realm expert. If he attacks Qin Mu, the consequences will be unpredictable."
The master's thinking is wrong. If a person wants to achieve great things, he doesn't necessarily have to become the most powerful person. As long as Qin Mu makes a name for himself, countless people will definitely join him.
Chen An smiled and said, "That's right. My thinking is limited. Let Qin Mu develop on his own. I am optimistic about his future."
Soon after, Qin Mu subdued several generals and took the 20,000 liberated prisoners away, preparing to go to the southernmost part of Quanzhou, where King Yi's control was weak.
This journey was not easy, because King Yi, who had received the news, sent troops to intercept and kill Qin Mu repeatedly, causing Qin Mu to suffer heavy losses.
But this also allowed him to completely control this army and develop it into his own core.
In addition, Qin Mu also gathered the remnants of the Zhenxi Army along the way, and his army became even stronger.
Seven days later, the army arrived at Juyang City with a total strength of 40,000.
…
"Senior, I have temporarily secured my position. We have two options: one is to remain in place, and the other is to cooperate with the new army formed by the imperial court to attack the rebels. What advice do you have?"
Chen An asked, "What is your ultimate goal? To serve the imperial court?"
Qin Mu said angrily, "The emperor has exterminated my entire clan, so how can I risk my life for him? Since there is that prophecy, and the world's collapse is inevitable, I want to give it a try. More importantly, I have the help of my seniors, so I have a high probability of success."
"In that case, you must make the necessary preparations in advance. I suggest you hold your troops still and report the situation here to the court to see how the emperor handles it. His response will determine your subsequent actions."
Qin Mu followed Chen An's advice and refused to send troops when the court's new army asked for cooperation in the war, using the excuse that the name was not right.
His title was indeed not right, after all, he had no official position in the court.
…
In the imperial capital, the atmosphere in the hall was tense.
"Qin Mu is not dead, and he has even gathered part of the Zhenxi Army, a total of 40,000 men. Your Majesty, I suggest that he be appointed General Zhenxi to assist the new army in the battle."
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene became even stranger.
Last year, the entire Qin family was wiped out, causing chaos in the world.
If Qin Mu were to be appointed as a general today, wouldn't that be a slap in his own face?
The emperor remained silent with a stern face. A trusted minister stood up and angrily rebuked him, "Qin Mu is also a traitor. How can he be appointed a general? Your Majesty, I suggest that the new army attack Juyang City and annihilate it."
The old minister who had spoken earlier blew his beard and glared, saying earnestly, "Your Majesty, please do not listen to slanderous words. Since Qin Mu has reported this, it shows that he has a heart to serve his country. At this critical juncture, you can appoint him a general to bring peace to the world. This will also demonstrate Your Majesty's magnanimity. Besides, Qin Mu's incident has long been confirmed to be a misunderstanding. We cannot make the same mistake again."
An official immediately objected, "If you reward Qin Mu, wouldn't that be Your Majesty admitting your fault to him? Your Majesty, this would undermine your dignity and must not be tolerated."
The emperor nodded in agreement.
"Send an order. Have Qin Mu surrender and hand over his 40,000 soldiers to the new army. I will forgive his past. Otherwise, you will be treated as a traitor."
The ministers present looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
…
"Haha, let me surrender. Senior, you really guessed it right." Qin Mu smiled, with anger in his tone.
Chen Ando said, "According to the plan, you now need to exaggerate the tragic emotions. It doesn't need to be complicated, just make yourself a tragic hero."
"I understand. This kind of thing is not difficult."
Half a day later, when the imperial envoy entered Juyang City, Qin Mu tied his hands and prepared to surrender under the watchful eyes of 40,000 soldiers.
"If the king wants his subjects to die, then he must die. Since Your Majesty doesn't trust the Qin family, and doesn't trust me, then I can only die to show my determination."
"Now the country is in ruins, and rebels are wreaking havoc everywhere. I don't know how many people have lost their homes. After my death, I hope that you brothers will join the new army and continue to suppress the rebels, not for the court, but for your families."
"Thinking back to the Qin family's conquests for the empire, I never thought we'd be wiped out today. Perhaps this is retribution."
Hearing these words, the complacent imperial envoy was shocked, because he felt murderous intent coming from all directions.
"Qin... General Qin, it's not that serious. Don't exaggerate."
Qin Mu ignored him, continued talking loudly, and made gestures as if he was about to die.
When the atmosphere reached its peak, Liu Bi's eyes turned red as he shouted, "You bullshit imperial envoy, you bullshit emperor! Brothers, kill them!"
Countless soldiers rushed towards the imperial team of hundreds of people.
