You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 539 Opening up territories

Pig glanced at the snake-man and ram-horn-man warriors who were also severely injured, and then at the human soldiers around him. He immediately understood what had happened.

This doesn't mean the humans withdrew their troops.

This is clearly a trap set by the humans for them to fall into!

However, they can't blame anyone else; they were just too greedy.

If they had evacuated the moment they discovered the anomaly, this wouldn't have happened.

It's too late to say anything now.

"Gentlemen, now that these alien races have been dealt with, leave the rest to us! You may lead the army to retreat..."

Han Xin ordered the three men to be taken away, and then looked at the human generals and spoke.

"General Han, could you let us stay? I haven't felt this good in ages. We'd even be willing to assist you..."

A human general spoke up.

"Yes! General Han, although our army is not as strong as the Qin army, it can still do some small things, such as cleaning up the battlefield. Let us stay!"

Another human general stepped forward and spoke.

Although the other human generals did not speak, their eyes betrayed their thoughts.

They all wanted to stay.

Although it may not be of much use, it's still good to follow behind the Qin army and get some soup.

"Well... you should ask the ancestral court of the human race! If they agree, I naturally have no objections..."

Han Xin thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Okay! We'll inquire right away..."

The human generals all showed excited expressions when they heard Han Xin's words.

Since Han Xin said that, it means he doesn't care if they stay.

Now all we need to do is get Xuan Kongzi's permission...

Soon, the news reached the ancestral home of the human race.

Xuan Kongzi received their message...

"What do you think about the fact that the generals at the front want to stay and lead their troops to the front lines?"

After reading the messages from the generals, Xuan Kongzi looked at Li Sheng beside him and asked a question.

"Elder Xuan, we are now considered citizens of Qin, and our army is also the army of Qin..."

Li Sheng did not answer Xuan Kongzi's question directly, but instead spoke in a serious tone.

"Heh! You're quick to adapt! You've already gotten into character so fast. I knew I wasn't wrong about you..."

Xuan Kongzi looked at Li Sheng's serious expression and smiled, then chuckled and scolded him.

"hey-hey!"

Upon hearing Xuan Kongzi's words, Li Sheng revealed a rare,憨笑 (a simple, honest smile) on his face and scratched his head.

"Alright! In that case, let them decide for themselves! As long as General Han agrees, they can stay!"

"By the way, many soldiers at the front haven't been home for a long time. Send a message to the commanders at the front and ask them to give the soldiers leave in batches so they can go home and visit their families..."

"Now that the Qin army is here, they can finally relax a bit..."

Xuan Kongzi suddenly thought of something and said to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng nodded solemnly and said, "Okay! I'll go and convey this to them right away..."

"Yeah! Go ahead!"

.........

Xuan Kongzi's order was quickly relayed to the generals at the front lines.

When they received the news, they were all overjoyed.

Fortunately, Elder Xuan agreed, otherwise they would have been truly unwilling!

"Alright, now that Elder Xuan has agreed, we can rest easy. Next, we'll send the soldiers home in batches to visit them. They've protected humanity for so many years; they deserve a rest..."

Fang Lan, the commander of the human army, looked at the generals with a smile and said.

"Here!"

The generals immediately responded respectfully in unison.

After that, I made the arrangements.

After the generals left, Fang Lan went to see Han Xin.

"General Fang, what brings you here...?"

Han Xin saw Fang Lan and spoke with some surprise.

"General Han, Elder Xuan has agreed to let us stay..."

Fang Lan said with a smile.

"Oh? Congratulations!"

Upon hearing his words, Han Xin's face lit up with joy, and he replied.

"Hehe! This is all thanks to General Han..."

Fang Lan smiled modestly.

"However, I have another matter to discuss with you today!"

Fang Lan continued.

"Oh? Tell me!"

Han Xin showed a hint of interest and spoke.

"That's right, our army here is a collection of troops from various human factions, previously drawn from different imperial dynasties..."

"But now that we have all submitted to the Qin Dynasty, we are now the Qin army, and we generals should relinquish our military power..."

"However, we are unable to personally hand over military power to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, so we can only entrust it to you for now..."

Fang Lan looked at Han Xin and said with a serious expression.

Fang Lan knew that, regardless of the faction, it was a major taboo for a subordinate to still control military power.

Therefore, he thought of voluntarily handing over military power to prove his sincerity.

Han Xin nodded slightly upon hearing his words and said, "That's how it is!"

"However, I do not have time to integrate these troops right now, so General Fang will continue to command them for the time being!"

"I will report this matter to His Majesty later, and then His Majesty will make a decision..."

"That's... okay!"

Fang Lan was slightly taken aback when she heard Han Xin's words, and then spoke.

"Perfect timing! You've arrived just in time. The Imperial Guards have already extracted details about the three alien races from their mouths. I plan to launch a surprise attack to completely eradicate these three malignant tumors that have been harassing the human borders..."

Han Xin suddenly changed the subject and looked at Fang Lan.

Upon hearing Han Xin's words, Fang Lan's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "General Han, is there anything I can do? Please feel free to give my orders..."

He had wanted to eradicate the three major races for a long time, but he lacked the strength to do so before.

But now, with the Qin Dynasty at my back, who am I afraid of?

"There really is something we need you to do..."

Han Xin thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Please feel free to give your orders, General Han. Whatever you require, I will have no complaints..."

Fang Lan said solemnly, looking quite like someone ready to die for their cause.

Seeing Fang Lan's expression, Han Xin couldn't help but find it amusing and said, "Alright, alright! It's not that serious. You're making it sound like I'm sending you to your death..."

"It's like this: after we eliminate the three races, they certainly won't give up their territories. Therefore, I plan to move the human race's borders further outward, which requires a large army. However, my army alone cannot accomplish this..."

"Therefore, we need General Fang's help..."

Fang Lan's breathing became rapid upon hearing this.

Expanding territory is something every soldier longs for.

Previously, the human race even had difficulty maintaining its existing territory, let alone expanding outwards.

Although they did not accomplish this feat, they were still participants and share in the honor.

"Yes, sir! This humble general will certainly complete the mission and will not let General Han down..."

Fang Lan stood ramrod straight and began to speak.
