After Yan Ren left Yang Song and others, he sat alone in the main seat where Yang Song was sitting just now. Looking at the string of whistles next to him, he unknowingly thought of his past experiences.

At first, he was one of the 300 military members in the city. When Yang Song held a martial arts competition to decide officers at all levels, he defeated several opponents with his calm mind and strong body, and eventually became the captain of an archer.

Not long after, they met a group of savages in the south, and when they first invaded, they wiped out the tribe that dared to invade. This was his first time in this battle.

Then there was the first military expansion and reorganization. This military expansion occurred after an earthquake, and a newly armed army appeared during which the elderly could only live in a corner.

During the expansion of the army, he was recognized as the leader of a long-distance attacking force in the guard battalion, which was also steadily promoted.

Not long after that, the barbarians in the south actually dared to invade the first Xia Kingdom. When he learned the news, he was also angry. However, after calming down, he felt that something was strange about this matter, but Yan Ren did not think much at that time.

Immediately afterwards, under the order of the monarch, the State of Xia decided to take the initiative and defeat various tribes in the south one by one.

The battle went very smoothly, but there was a secret order to try to capture the captives of the Southern Barbarians and make them a coolie, which answered his long-standing doubts.

He said that these southern barbarians dared to provoke Xia State. Isn’t this seeking death? It turned out that the senior executives of the Xia State needed the labor force of these southern barbarians.

Yan Ren expected that he would return to the Southern Barbarians to win a great victory. The triumphal ceremony of returning to the court made his grudge disappear, and even made him, who had always been rational, have the urge to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy again.

Not long after the expedition to the Southern Barbarians, I learned that the forces in the north actually dared to plunder the caravans of Xia Kingdom, and the revenge of the four northern territories suffered heavy losses.

In this war, Yan Ren was only ordered to guard the heavenly gate and had no chance to go to the battlefield. However, he was not dissatisfied with it because he knew the importance of this gate to the Xia Kingdom.

Then there were two years that had been through smoothly. The original guard battalion had become a guard brigade, and he was promoted from a long-distance attacking formation to a lieutenant colonel battalion commander.

The experience in the army made him mature more and more. The childish thoughts he had at the time had long disappeared, and the only thing left was to defend his country.

Two years later, seven territories in the north united again to invade Tianqian Pass. This time, because of the large number of enemy troops, his guard brigade had to participate in the battle, and together with his comrades from the infantry brigade, guarding the frontier at Tianqian Pass.

While guarding the Tianqian Pass, their guard brigade was also handed over to the generals of the infantry brigade to command together, and Yan Ren's superior became the commander of the cavalry.

The two consecutive days of battle to defend the city caused heavy losses to the enemy, but also exhausted them, the soldiers who defended the city.

But the enemy had collapsed, and the cavalry led by General Zhang had already set out first to pursue the enemy. General Di asked their infantry to repair for a night, and joined the pursuit.

After a month of battle, the Xia Kingdom's army finally occupied the entire outer basin of the pass, and the name of this basin was also changed to the "Linhai Basin" after occupation, and another pass in the north was also renamed "Shanhaiguan". As for their original names, no one has cared about them.

This war is calculated as the most tragic war in the history of the Xia Kingdom, although the history of the Xia Kingdom is less than ten years.

Then, the indigenous people in the basin were driven away, and the plague outside the pass was on high alert. As if facing a great enemy, all the troops of Xia State were stationed in Shanhaiguan. Although these soldiers did not go to the battlefield, they were still exhausted to deal with it.

Since then, the Xia Kingdom has calmed down on the surface, but in private, Yan Ren has heard that the peace of Xia Kingdom was obtained by the hard work of the emperor and the ministers.

As for how to prevent forces outside Shanhaiguan from sending troops to Xia State, he didn't know. At the beginning, he heard that more than 100,000 coalition forces outside Shanhaiguan were preparing to attack Xia State.

So although Yan Ren didn't know how the emperor and the ministers made such a large army disappear, he admired the wisdom of the emperor and the many ministers. Anyway, he couldn't do such a thing himself. Not to mention doing it, he didn't know how to think about it, he didn't know how to think about it!

Not long after the army was stationed in Shanhaiguan, the king ordered a major reorganization of the entire army.

A new deputy director of the Military Department, named Li Jing, was a lieutenant general who was in charge of reorganization. He had never heard of this person before, but as such things happened a lot, he didn't care.

During this reorganization, he was transferred from the commander of the long-distance battalion of the guard brigade to the commander of the second battalion of the infantry brigade. General Zhang Wei, who served as Yan for several years, was transferred back to Tianqi City and became the director of the Guard Bureau under the Military Department.

Then he learned that there was an additional cavalry brigade near Shanhaiguan, and the one who led the troops was a young man named Huo Qubing.

However, except for the infantry brigade where he was, the rest of the army was not fully equipped, which made him realize that this infantry brigade is still the main force of the Xia Kingdom.

Although Yan Ren was a little reluctant to part with his original boss and the original army, he could only obey orders and entered the new army with some expectations.

Then he also knew what kind of conscript brigade was added to Tianqian Pass. This conscript brigade was used to train new recruits and train excellent soldiers to supplement the army without full corps.

But after filling all the troops, this conscript brigade still existed, which is said to be to replace weak soldiers in other armies.

This is said to have caused a wave of training in other armies. After all, no one wants to be called a "weak soldier". Many of them have experienced many battles. If they are replaced at this time, they will lose all their faces.

Not long after the reorganization of the entire army, the monarch ordered the construction of a city outside Shanhaiguan, named "Guihua City". It is said that this city was used to do business with forces outside the pass, and the troops stationed in Shanhaiguan also ordered a battalion of troops to guard it.

Yan Ren, as the battalion commander of the second battalion of the infantry brigade, was the second group of troops sent to Guihua City.

When he led his soldiers to the destination valley, he saw a construction site where the city wall was being built.

Although he didn't know why Xia State wanted to build a city specifically to do business with foreign forces, he knew that it would make sense for the emperor to do this.

So while he was stationed in the valley, he strictly guarded the valley and prevented unknown forces from coming to attack.

But when his garrison expired, he didn't wait for any attack. Not to mention the attack, he had never seen the shadow of an outsider before.

However, after the construction and opening of trade in Guihua City, he was ordered to go to Guihua City to support while stationed in Shanhaiguan and eliminated a group of ignorant bandits.

Under General Di's leadership, the camp where he was located just rushed over and then crushed the bandits who were sieging the city.

The process of eliminating bandits is not much easier than usual marching, and it cannot be compared with exercises.

Until some time ago, he received a transfer order to return to Tianqi City and serve as the battalion commander of the newly formed battalion of the Junshang, which was named "Shenji Camp" by the Junshang.
