Chapter 29
Wang Dawei was afraid that what Zuo Yun would say would affect the morale of the army, so he hurriedly led An Ning inside.

The barbarian army was very sad. They thought they would be able to take Ping'an Prefecture in a single battle, but the result was that the battle did not go well, and then the food and grass were burned. They rushed back to the army and were ambushed, resulting in heavy losses.

The barbarian general Ye Siwei wanted to continue to attack the city, as long as he took the city, all problems would be solved.

At this time, the messenger ran in in a panic and said, "General, the Daping reinforcements are here, and there are many of them."

Yesiweiqi stood up and asked, "How many people are there?"

The messenger said: "The dust is flying, the earth is shaking, there are at least 1 cavalry."

It's only [-] cavalry. If it was another time, Ye Siwei would definitely eat it without blinking an eye. But now the barbarian country's morale has plummeted and it has lost food and grass. Is there anything the Chinese can do.

Thinking of this, Yesiweiqi asked: "Where is that messenger, let him come over."

Qin Wei said: "General, the envoy is gone, we haven't seen him since we came back, maybe he was taken away."

At this time, another personal guard came in and said, "General, the army has been assembled. When are we going to retreat?"

Yesiweiqi was surprised: "Retreat? When did I say retreat?"

The guard said: "General, the soldiers have no intention of fighting now. When the subordinates go down to assemble the army, they are all anxious to retreat. If we fight against the Pingguo army like this, we don't know how many of us will be lost. How can you fight with the king when you go back?" What about the confession?"

Yesiweiqi thought of the king's hesitant attitude when he heard that he was going to attack the Dalai Lama, and he also had the intention of retreating.

Yesiwei went outside again to look at the panicked soldiers. The words "want to go home" were written all over their faces. At this time, Daping's army was getting closer and closer, and there was no need for a messenger to report. Yesiweiqi You can hear the trembling sound yourself.

The soldiers became agitated, and if it wasn't for Ye Siweiqi's presence, they would probably have fled in all directions.Ye Siweiqi sighed, and finally said: "Retreat."

The soldiers all smiled when they heard these two words, as if they had escaped from death.

Wang Dawei had just finished speaking with An Ning when he heard the news of the retreat of the barbarian army.Wang Dawei and An Ning went to the city tower together, and the two also heard the ground shaking, and An Ning knew that the 500 people behind were coming.

An Ning said: "The final test is here, General Wang, hurry up and get someone to prepare."

Wang Dawei nodded and turned to gather people. In addition to the 500 people guarding the city, the remaining 1500 soldiers and the 1500 young men in the city gathered together.

Wang Dawei said: "Soldiers and common people, Princess An Ning personally brought reinforcements to rescue us, and now the enemy is ready to retreat under the deterrence of reinforcements. But, can our place allow them to come and leave as soon as they say it? Of course not, so I decided to lead you to beat the dog in the water. We are all bloody men, I believe that you will not let me down, and the princess is also looking at you, the princess will definitely reward those who make meritorious deeds."

When Wang Dawei said this, everyone became excited, whether it was for beating the dog in the water, or for the reward from the princess, in short, those dogs in the barbarian country should not be allowed to retreat easily.

In the face of absolute victory, no one would refuse this battle, and those who don't want the credit for nothing are fools.

The barbarian army began to retreat under the arrangement of Yesiweiqi, and a group of 1000 recruits stayed behind.It's not that Yesiweiqi doesn't want to keep too many people, but that the soldiers don't want to fight at all now. If those old oily guys stay, maybe he will surrender to the Daping army and leak information about the barbarian country.

Instead of this, it's better to keep the recruits. Anyway, it doesn't feel bad if they sacrifice, and even if they surrender, it won't have much impact.

Therefore, Ye Siwei decided on the candidate after careful consideration.In this way, it will not damage one's direct line troops, and it can delay for a while, so that the Daping army will not catch up immediately. After all, it is 1000 pigs standing there and people have to kill them for a while, let alone those who will resist.

As long as the army reaches the border of the country, the local army can be mobilized to help resist, and Ye Siwei also believes that the troops behind will not cause trouble at this time and set foot on the border of the barbarian country.

Yesiweiqi was ready to wipe out the entire army behind him, and without waiting for them, he led his people on the road day and night.

This fell right into An Ning's arms. Otherwise, if Ye Siwei had to fight before retreating, An Ning's side would be in danger. After all, when the fight really started, it would be useless to be suspicious. Fortunately, Ye Siwei Think more.

An Ning's side successfully made dumplings for the enemy's back army, and none of them ran away.Dong Dacheng entered the city after everything was settled, and everyone knew that the so-called reinforcements had only 1500 people in total, not as many soldiers as there were guards in the city.

The news that An Ning defeated the 1500 barbarian army with 10 people spread in the city, and her prestige in Ping'an City reached the highest.At the same time, the goal of letting the army see blood has been achieved, and it is a good answer.

There is even better news that Wang Dawei is still loyal to Daping, which also makes An Ning breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally, An Ning was still worried that if Wang Dawei had other intentions, even if he could win Ping'an Prefecture in the end, it would be a disastrous victory. Fortunately, after talking, he found that Wang Dawei was indeed loyal to the emperor and serving the country.

An Ning told Wang Dawei about Daping's current situation, and Wang Dawei recognized An Ning as the master without hesitation.Not to mention that An Ning saved his family by sending charcoal in the middle of nowhere, and that An Ning can win more with less, Wang Dawei felt that An Ning would definitely win in the end.

Not to mention the soldiers and common people in Ping'an Prefecture, they wished to sacrifice An Ning.Only the country gentry were secretly thinking about the impoliteness of women leading the army, but firstly, An Ning had the last emperor's will, and secondly, they did not dare to speak out, for fear of being beheaded like Master Qian.

Ping'an Prefecture is home to everyone, but Wang Dawei's position cannot be moved. He is responsible for guarding the southern gateway of Daping. In order to prevent the barbarians from coming again, Wang Dawei must stay here.

But there is really no one around An Ning. Her original purpose was to regain Ping'an Prefecture, and the second was Wang Dawei. Now that no one can replace Wang Dawei, An Ning can only give up the second purpose.

After An Ning promulgated agricultural and military policies in Ping An City, he led people away. Ping An Prefecture’s military affairs were fully entrusted to Wang Dawei. In terms of administration, An Ning appointed a local scholar as an interim governor. head.

There are still several provinces bordering Gao Ning, An Ning decided to go back and make the Daoist order first, and it is best to follow, if not, he will wait until he is stronger and stronger before recovering.

There is also a province away from him, King Lu who raised the banner in Beicheng, and Emperor Jianping who ascended the throne in Jiangnan, will have to take it back one day, but this can be done slowly, after all, we are still a family now.

An Ning returned to Gaoning with the people. Everyone had received the good news, and their faces were full of joy. The news of An Ning's 1500 people against 10 people also spread.Wang Dawei's family also received a family letter from Wang Dawei dragging Anning.

An Ning gave rewards to the officers and soldiers in accordance with the regulations. There were chiefs of hundreds of households and chiefs of thousands of households. Some were temporarily promoted to regular posts, and some did not have much credit and were squeezed out by others. However, no matter what, everyone was from benefited from this war.Wu Feng's recruitment operation also went more smoothly.

At this time, the scholar who was ordered to spy on the situation also formally visited An Ning.

The scholar's name is Gou Xin. It is said that his ancestors were famous generals of the Wei State. He was appointed as the Duke of Dongping County by the crown prince and Taifu.Gou Xin has always followed the example of his ancestors, hoping to serve the country and show his strengths.

Gou Xin said: "Princess, there is a village in Gao Ning, the owner of the village admires the prestige of the princess, and wants to serve the princess and do his part for Daping."

An Ning said excitedly: "Welcome, those who are still willing to be loyal to Daping at this time are loyal people, let them come quickly, I can't help but want to see them."

Later, An Ning treated Gou Xin kindly and rewarded him greatly.

Because Gao Ning's officials are all full, An Ning said guiltily: "I have Mr. like a fish in water, but Gao Ning's officials are already full, so I can only feel wronged that Mr. is now a military advisor by my side."

Gou Xin was very satisfied with this position. Gao Ning's official position was nothing, he could only show his talents by staying with the princess.

Gou Xin immediately went back and told the bearded village master that the princess welcomed them very much.

The bearded village owner was also unambiguous, leading hundreds of people to vote for An Ning.An Ning gained another strength, and the people in the cottage were different from the recruits they had just recruited. They were bandits who had worked with the government before, so they had a certain fighting capacity.

Although logically speaking, bandits need to be wiped out, but bandits have the heart to serve the country, and they can also be punished for their merits.Let’s just say that Lu Wangna also took in a wave of rebels, so why don’t they still help revive Daping!It's said in the book that if you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is nothing good about them.

After An Ning inspected hundreds of people, he said: "In the future, this team will be called the Zhongyong Army. Da Zhuang (bearded man) will be the commander of a thousand commanders, commanding 1000 people. In addition to the original 400 people, 600 people will be transferred to join the Zhongyong Army. In addition, each centurion has a hundred fellow prefects, and a thousand commanders has a thousand prefects next to them, to help the soldiers learn to read."

In An Ning's arrangement, Tongzhi did ideological work, instilling in these bandits the idea of ​​loyalty to the army and serving the country, and literacy was secondary.

An Ning doesn't want to have a private army under her command. The name of a certain army proves the incompetence of the country. All the troops should belong to the country and fight for the people.

Now that Da Zhuang is bringing a group of people to vote, An Ning first uses 600 of his own soldiers to subtly influence them, and then asks his colleagues to do ideological work. I believe this can maximize their assimilation.

As for Gou Xin, An Ning decided to let him stay by her side for a period of time. On the one hand, it was to convince him completely so that he could act according to his own ideas. On the other hand, it was also to let him learn. After all, he had never been an official before. However, we still need to learn to deal with political affairs.

After these things came to an end, An Ning increased investment in education.

In addition to the military, An Ning's biggest focus now is education. Of course, the economy is also very important, but this aspect can last for a while, so except for a few things that must be reformed, An Ning basically maintains the status quo in this aspect.

She also knows that this kind of development is deformed. One day, the economic development will not keep up with the military, and it will drag down the entire basic market. But for now, let it be deformed. Only by facing the difficulties around us can we settle down to engage in the economy.

With the support of An Ning, Gao Ning and Ping'an Prefecture both vigorously developed military and education.The purpose of developing the military is to ensure the security of one's own territory, and the purpose of education is to quickly cultivate talents who can govern one side and prepare for future expansion.

Over the past few years, the military strength of the Anning ruled area has greatly increased, and the number of intellectuals has also increased a lot. Now at least two of the three people walking on the street are educated.

It is indeed true that knowledge makes people progress. After reading books, people will have self-cultivation and insight, and the ideological education arranged by An Ning makes them very supportive of An Ning's rule.

Of course, it’s not all peaceful. The rebel army occupies half of the northern country, but how can they be willing to rule the south with the river, provoking and attacking, doing everything they can, just want to wipe out a few stocks in the south? power.

The king of Lu was almost in a straight line with the capital. He was neither as dangerous as An Ning, nor as huge financial support as Emperor Jianping, so he was hit hardest by the rebels.

If it weren't for An Ning's help, King Lu would have been wiped out long ago, but An Ning also took the opportunity to occupy a part of the territory, and now An Ning's territory is completely bordering that of King Lu.
