Then, the subordinate nodded and said, "The general is right."

Now that the rebel army is advancing south, after the Battle of Yànluò Mountain, some fence-sitters probably think the imperial court can't handle the rebels.

But little did they know, this was a grave mistake!

Having said that, he looked at the army in front of him, then turned his face to Xiong Qian and smiled:

“Since the General-in-Chief has unified the army, we now have a strong force. This is a good opportunity to test our strength against these rebels. Let’s use this as a trial run for our new army!”

As soon as these words left his mouth, Xiong Qian's lips curled into a slight smile, and he chuckled lightly.

"You're right!"

"I have been training this army for a long time, and in my view, it is already one of the strongest armies in Great Qin today. I am afraid that only General Zhen Guo's Shenji Camp could surpass us."

However, the upcoming confrontation with the rebels, as you said, presents a perfect opportunity to test the strength of our army.

At this point, Xiong Qian was brimming with confidence, drawing his sword and bellowing loudly:

Next, we're going to fight a beautiful battle!

"Previous defeats by the court have allowed us to turn this battle into a victory and restore the court's honor!"

"Hmph, I warn those traitors and those who seek to sow chaos, whoever they may be, that they shall not overturn the heavens!"

——

Well

In the main hall of Qingshen Royal Mansion, Jin Jianren listened to his subordinate's report and let out a cold laugh.

A bunch of fence-sitters, switching sides at this time, really think that by siding with the traitor, they can survive?

"After I deal with the rebels, I'll come for you and settle this score!"

Go on.

His subordinates departed. On the side, King Qing held a teacup, taking a light sip before raising his eyes to look at Jin Jianren:

"When the rebels are victorious, those opportunistic scoundrels naturally defect. When the imperial court prevails, they will again switch sides. This is nothing unusual and there is no need to be angry."

Kim Jianren let out a disdainful cold snort: "Those who switch sides at this time will naturally have to be held accountable afterward. Whether they are traitors or those who betray their comrades, they must all be punished with the extermination of nine clans, leaving nothing behind!"

King Qing's brow furrowed, and he shook his head.

That's not right.

Jianren ah, killing intent should not be too heavy. Those who betray their country and family deserve to die, but these fence-sitters cannot just be killed.

Jin Jianren frowned, "Father, how can we just let this go? Who allowed them to be so blind and rebel against the court?"

King Qing smiled faintly and said, "Since they are all dead, who will govern the city?"

These people are masters of changing sides faster than a chameleon. You could kill them endlessly, and even if you wiped them all out, the rebellion would be gone and Daqian would have lost a whole group of people.

"These days, there's still a long way to go.

"Living is always more useful than being dead, you think this world is so easy to govern?"

After finishing his statement, Kim Jin-un wore a thoughtful expression.

"Alas, I never thought things would turn out like this," King Qing sighed.

Who would have thought that after Qin Haotian's death, so many disturbances would follow one after another? There were disturbances from the Hu cavalry, turmoil in Xijing, and even Fuso was thrown into chaos.

It seems Qin Haitian died too young. King Qing should have waited a few more years. The King shook his head, a hint of regret on his face.

Seeing his father's expression, Kim Jin-eun shook his head and said:

"Father, if we wait a few more years to act, I'm afraid Qin Haotian will bring chaos and unrest."

Although he died, those people started to riot. But without Qin Haotian, it doesn't mean we can't do anything.

"Hmph, I could have crushed them just as easily without him!"

King Qing nodded and followed up with, “Hmm.”

"If Qin Haotian had dealt with these foreign races more thoroughly back then, we wouldn't have to worry about this today.

"Just die already, and yet this rebellious son remains. As I thought, I shouldn't have overthought things back then. It would have been better to kill him outright."

Kim Jin-ren sneered: "Fine, it's going to be removed sooner or later anyway. This time, I'll just get rid of it for good!"

King Qing touched his chin and changed the subject:

You also saw the people Jianzhong brought.

These people came from various countries overseas. According to Jianzhong's description, many of these countries were extremely wealthy.

"Jianzhong's trip this time was still somewhat useful."

Upon hearing this, Kim Jianren let out a dismissive sneer: "That's all? I didn't see anything particularly special."

"My Great Qin territory is vast, with outstanding people and fertile land. How can these barbarians compare to us?"

Jianzhong treated them like treasures, this kid. After two years outside, he'd mixed himself up to be just like a barbarian.

King Qing burst into laughter: "Jianren, you need to broaden your horizons!"

Although I have been running the Divine Machine Camp for a long time and achieved some renown, Jianzhong's weapons taken from the barbarians are no less impressive in my eyes.

They might develop better than us. Coming to Dayan this time is a good opportunity to learn more about them.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Kim Jian-in frowned.

"Father, as you said, I do think it is prudent to be careful."

During the meal earlier, I felt that these barbarians were not as loyal and kind as they appeared on the surface. Although Jianzhong was of noble standing, these people came from different countries yet were all so friendly with him.

He stroked his chin and continued, "I think it's not that Jianzhong is good at making friends. These people, I'm afraid, have ulterior motives."

King Qing pondered for a while, then let out a faint smile and said:

"Well, that makes sense.

"Should we still guard against it, or could it possibly become a driving force?

Let's put everything else aside for now, the priority is still to suppress the rebellion.

"Has Xiong Qian been informed to meet the rebel army at Bai Li Yuan?"

Kim Jian-jin was just about to raise his teacup when he heard this and burst into laughter:

Of course, those were heavy cavalry, and there were quite a few of them who had been under my command before.

"If I weren't so focused on the Divine Machine Camp right now, I wouldn't be willing to hand this army over to Xiong Qian.

Speaking of this, Kim Jianren sighed again and said, "Alas, it's my fault. I should have stopped Jiande from going to Yanluoshan in the first place. If he hadn't gone, I would have given Jin Mang a heavy cavalry regiment..."

I think he won't die on Yànluò Mountain.

Although Xiong Qian was brave in battle, he was still a bit lacking compared to Jin Mang. It's a pity that fate played tricks on people. Jin Mang died too tragically.

King Qing stood up and walked to Jin Jianren's side, patting him on the shoulder and saying:

Death is inevitable.

His death also gave us more information about the rebels. This time, let the traitors pay the price at Bai Li Yuan.

Speaking of this, King Qing felt deeply moved, and his voice became lower.

"Back then, Qin Haitian was held in the palm of my hand. You, could you still turn over my palm?"

The father and son looked at each other and both burst into laughter.
