After rebirth, I became a national teacher

*

Today, the granaries and wealthy lands of the entire Wei Dynasty are in the hands of the Nandu regime. Not only does the Wei Dynasty not dare to actively cut off trade, it also has to worry that the people under the Nandu rule will not sell things to them.

If that day really comes, even if the Lord Du'e does not order an attack, many places will sooner or later collapse due to lack of food and clothing.

Now, officials of the Wei court have to beg merchants under the jurisdiction of Nando to sell their goods.

Naturally, it is impossible to conduct strict inspections at checkpoints like in the past.

This naturally gave the Ministry of Propaganda an opportunity to take advantage of.

The propaganda personnel of the Publicity Department include both young and strong thugs as well as some smart and clever children from the Salesian Church.

They followed the caravan and easily infiltrated the Great Wei, spreading the various people-friendly policies under the rule of the God of Du'e, as well as the power and prosperity of the God's regime, throughout the territory of the Great Wei.

Naturally, the news that Lieutenant General Huai'an surrendered and received preferential treatment was also reported.

Three months later

Qingzhou Prefecture

The Qingzhou Lieutenant General and the Qingzhou Prefect gathered in the inner hall of the government office.

The Qingzhou Lieutenant General paced back and forth in the inner hall anxiously.

The Qingzhou prefect sat there, absent-mindedly, stroking his beard over and over again until it was almost bald.

Finally, a bailiff came in.

The Qingzhou lieutenant general's eyes suddenly focused on the yamen runner like two lanterns.

The Qingzhou prefect who was originally sitting also stood up and asked anxiously:

"Where is the Du'e Army?"

The yamen runner was startled and stammered:

"My Lord... I... lunch is ready. I just came to invite you and the general to have lunch..."

The Qingzhou lieutenant general waved his hand with a gloomy look on his face:

"No, no, I have no appetite."

The Qingzhou prefect said unhappily:

"It's already this late, why are you still eating lunch? No!"

The bailiff left with a sullen look on his face.

The Qingzhou Lieutenant General and the Qingzhou Governor sat opposite each other, sighing and looking outside constantly.

It turned out that the reason why the two were so anxious was that they heard that the Du'e Army was heading north.

It seems that they are planning to retake another prefecture before the New Year.

More than two months ago, it was learned that Lieutenant General Huai'an took the initiative to surrender to the God of Du'e. Not only did he save his life, but his official position was not demoted. He was directly transferred to become a lieutenant general of another prefecture under the rule of the God.

Only then did they realize that the God of Du'e did not necessarily have to kill all corrupt officials.

Surrendering actively can give you a chance to survive.

The God of Du'e is so mysterious and powerful that it is said that even if the generals refuse to surrender, the God can still take the heads of them among thousands of troops.

Moreover, even if the God does not have such ability, the fact that he now occupies the richest territory in Wei makes him unstoppable.

To remain loyal to the Wei Dynasty now is tantamount to seeking death.

Since then, the two have been in private contact, preparing to surrender to the God Du'e.

But the army of the God was still in Xuzhou at that time. Before they could submit to the God, they were defeated by the troops sent by the Wei Dynasty, so they did not dare to express their stance too early.

I originally thought that Qingzhou was not too far from Xuzhou, and perhaps it wouldn’t be long before the God’s army would march directly north.

At that time, they would naturally open the city and surrender.

Who would have thought that the Du'e Army did not go directly north, but went northwest to Henan Province.

They waited for more than two months, and were extremely worried that something might happen.

After much difficulty, the Du'e Army came out of Henan Province, returned to Qi and Lu, and accepted the surrender of Yanzhou.

The two were overjoyed as they were finally approaching their Qingzhou.

Therefore, they quickly sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the Du'e Army, intending to prepare a banquet and go out of the city to welcome them when they were about seventy or eighty miles away.

The long-awaited event was finally about to arrive, and the two of them couldn't help but feel uneasy.

They were worried that they could not surrender like other surrendered officials, and even that the God of Du'e would not accept their surrender at all.

He was also worried that his own men would betray him, so he handed over these two superiors as a token of his allegiance.

The more anxious you are, the longer time seems.

Finally, at the beginning of the afternoon, the spies they sent out came back.

The two stood up at the same time and asked impatiently:

"The Du'e Army is coming?"

The spy was an ordinary garrison soldier in Qingzhou, and he was very sorry about the information he had obtained.

He said with a sad face:

"Reporting to the Lord, no. The Du'e Army went to Jeju Prefecture."

The Qingzhou prefect and the lieutenant general immediately looked unacceptable:

"How could it be? Wasn't there a rumor earlier that the Du'e Army was heading to Qingzhou? How did they go to Jeju Prefecture?"

They were all ready to host the Du'e Army in Qingzhou to celebrate the New Year.

"Yes, who knows how long it will take them to go to Jeju Prefecture!"

The spy said:

"Because the governor and lieutenant general of Jeju led their men two hundred miles out of the city to welcome the Du'e Army."

"General Hui'an thought that the governor and the lieutenant general of Jeju were sincere and commendable, so he went to Jeju Prefecture!"

The Qingzhou prefect and the lieutenant general first looked as if they were struck by lightning, and then they gritted their teeth.

The Qingzhou lieutenant general spat fiercely with anger on his face:

"Bah! I didn't expect that the governor of Jizhou and the lieutenant general were so shameless! General Hui'an had clearly leaked the news long ago and said he would come to our Qingzhou first, but they actually intercepted him halfway!"

The Qingzhou prefect was also so angry that his chest heaved up and down:

"I have never seen such flattering and shameless people! These people are really reading the books of sages in vain!"

The two men angrily scolded the governor of Jeju and the lieutenant general of Jeju, and then they remembered the important matter:

Jeju Prefecture is much closer to the capital than Qingzhou.

Moreover, the Du'e Army still occupied many places in Henan Province, so it is not impossible for them to go directly north from Jeju Prefecture.

Then wouldn’t their Qingzhou Prefecture be left behind?

Thinking of this, the two of them could no longer sit still.

He quickly took a group of people to Jeju Prefecture to meet General Hui'an and express his sincerity in submitting to the God.

Hui'an led his troops northward, and the journey was incredibly smooth.

She had followed her father and brothers around before, and had read various history books and military books, but she had never seen such a strange sight:

Officials from state and county towns along the way almost all rushed to surrender.

Although she suspected every city was a trap set by the Wei court, she only entered the city after careful investigation.

But the final results of each city proved that she was overthinking.

These officials of the Great Wei really want to submit to the God sincerely.

They do whatever they are told to do and are as obedient as a group of little sheep.

Along the way, apart from suppressing the long-entrenched bandits and killing some bullies, she hardly ever fought a serious battle.

Every time she left a prefecture, she would be greeted by the political or military chief of the next prefecture, each one more heartfelt than the last.

All of these people were vying to surrender to the God.

She went northward, accepting surrenders while leaving troops and personnel behind to distribute land and reform the military system.

From the autumn of the first year to the spring of the second year, we finally arrived in northern Zhili smoothly.

Northern Zhili has always been a place tightly controlled by the nobles of the capital and the emperor.

There are no more officials scrambling to surrender.

When they were about to approach Daming Prefecture, the Du'e Army she led was blocked by the imperial guards sent from the capital.

Hui'an felt that a tough battle was about to begin!
