Bacheng left a deep impression on Guan Ning.

Initially, the place he wanted to go to when he went to the front line was Bacheng, but something unexpected happened and he never made it. He didn't expect that he would be able to come after the war.

Thinking about it now, if it hadn't been for that accident, he probably wouldn't be where he is now.

Bacheng is where our main force is located. If he goes there, he will have many restrictions. He can only be a general with a thousand men and will not achieve anything.

Now, he leads an army of 30,000 men.

Among them were 5,000 Guan family cavalry, 5,000 bodyguards, and 20,000 infantry.

Among the five thousand personal guards, there were two thousand surrendered Wei soldiers, and the remaining three thousand were elites selected from the army and trained by Jin Yue.

The 20,000 infantry are divided into various arms... This is a complete army and a victorious division!

He is no longer the general with a thousand men.

Guan Ning rode in front, followed by a slightly luxurious carriage, with the princess sitting in it.

On both sides were the Guan family's cavalry escorts, and behind them were the vast army following them.

At this moment, there are sufficient preparations before Bacheng.

Soldiers on both sides lined up neatly, and the citizens of the city on both sides walked along the road, which stretched for several miles.

"Is the battle so big?"

Guan Ning saw the front and was slightly surprised.

"This is the intention of Duke Yue, but these people are not organized, but come spontaneously. Your prestige is unparalleled, especially in the two states of Yuanhuai."

Guan Wentong said.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were fierce cheers from both sides.

"King of Zhenbei!"

"King of Zhenbei! Mighty!"

"Prince Ning!"

"Prince Ning!"

One after another, one wave is better than the other, almost reaching the level of deafening, and you can feel the enthusiasm and excitement from it.

Only by truly speaking from the heart can we achieve this level.

Guan Wentong was startled and then spread his hands...

Guan Ning also felt shocked.

He knew that the biggest gain from this trip was not the Guan family army he independently controlled, nor his own reputation and prestige.

But the will of the people.

Everything else can be faked, but this cannot be faked...

For Guan Jiajun, they are also very proud because they are a victorious army and have been recognized by others.

Everyone puffed up their chests unconsciously.

Amid the warm cheers from the surrounding area, Guan Ning and others arrived at Bacheng, where there were also many people waiting.

Those who can come here are all senior generals from the two major commands.

When Guan Ning dismounted, several people came over to greet him.

"I've met the princess, I've met the King of Zhenbei."

Everyone saluted, without exception.

In terms of status, the princess and the prince are the highest.

"No gift."

The voice of Princess Yongning in the carriage was clear, but she did not come out. Her status meant that she could not show her face, especially on such an occasion.

But now Guan Ning is the protagonist.

He looked at the people in front of him who were both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.

"King of Zhenbei."

"Prince Ning."

"This is the Duke of Yue, and this is the Duke of Shen."

Guan Wentong acted as the introducer.

"I have met the two princes."

Guan Ning knew that these two were real nobles and held real power. They were the left and right governors of the Dudu Mansion and were in charge of the national army.

"The hero finally made his triumphant return, thank you for your hard work behind enemy lines."

Yang Su said: "Strictly speaking, we should all be grateful to you. If it weren't for your achievements, I would have retreated to Chongzhou by now."

"Serious words."

Guan Ning said: "If Yang Gong hadn't started a strategic retreat to preserve his strength, the current war situation would not have happened."

He told the truth.

The defeat of the Wei army was accomplished only by attacking from both front and rear, and it would not have been successful without the strength of the troops.

"It was really a helpless move to retreat at the beginning. Even if we knew that King Zhenbei was trapped behind enemy lines, we had no choice but to do it because we were worried that it would affect the overall situation."

Yang Su said: "I hope you can understand. In addition, I have reported the matter of Echeng to the court and will give you an explanation."

He made this clear directly.

Guan Ning's eyes narrowed slightly. He dared to say such things in front of so many people. It seemed that he really had a clear conscience.

Thoughts flashed through.

Guan Ning asked back: "Does Mr. Yang think that just a general would dare to do such a thing?"

Yang Su said nothing.

Although E Cheng has already confessed, we all know that it will not be that simple...

"Okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant things for now."

At this time, Shen Guogong Gao Lian promptly changed the subject.

"I met you once when you were a child. You were very naughty then, but now you have grown up."

Gao Lian seemed to sigh.

But others heard the implication. It was common knowledge that the relationship between Zhenbei Palace and Shen Guogong was not good.

Nowadays, everyone treats Guan Ning as the King of Zhenbei, but he is the only one to mention it like this. This is to exert pressure as an elder.

"Shen Guogong is getting older and stronger."

If it were anyone else, they would definitely get close to each other and address him directly as uncle. Guan Ning would not do this, but would have a business-like attitude.

On the way here, I heard Guan Wentong say that Gao Lian was in a bad mood after the war. In the final calculation, the casualties on his side were huge, but the losses on Huaizhou's side were relatively small because of Yang Su's prior strategy.

Moreover, Guan Ning knew that Gao Lian and Zheng Yi were very close...

"This is General Lu, and this is General Yuan."

Guan Wentong also noticed Guan Ning's attitude and was busy introducing others.

They are all senior generals in the army, and the lowest is a general.

"Who is this?"

At this time, he came to a person and Guan Wentong asked doubtfully.

He doesn't know him either.

Moreover, this person's temperament is not consistent with the military.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Yang Qizheng, the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Liang Jun."

"Coach Liang Jun?"

Guan Wentong didn't react for a while.

"I came here today just to see the king of Zhenbei. He is really a young and talented man and a great man from the great well-off people!"

Yang Qizheng was smiling, but there was nothing strange about being in this environment with such a status.

He also directly stated that he came here just to see Guan Ning. This was his truth.

"It turns out he is a famous Confucian commander."

Guan Ning has also heard of this man. His ability to cease fighting without hesitation is enough to illustrate his level.

Others would not be able to pass the test in their own minds, so the fact that he dared to come alone is a testament to his courage.

"Brother Yang is not an enemy now, he may become an ally."
