The three commanders of the three field corps established by Richard were all old men who followed Richard to establish the Ming Dynasty.

The First Field Legion is also the strongest, with Han Li as the commander of the legion. The Second Field Legion is similar to the Third Field Legion, with Long Liguo and Tao Anbang as the commander of the legion.

Long Liguo's military talent is average, but since he saw Richard's strength, he has devoted himself to Richard's life. He has no major shortcomings except for fear of death...

Long Liguo and Han Li were originally just low-level officers in counties and towns, and were born into civilians. If Richard had not been born, they would never have become the commander of the army in their entire lives, so they were still very grateful to Richard for his promotion.

However, Tao Anbang is different. He was originally a military governor. Before Richard rose, he was the boss of the side. Later, Richard used force to force him to surrender, and he felt so frustrated...

Although Richard treated Tao Anbang preferentially in order to set an example for the surrender faction in the Western Regions, Tao Anbang's reputation was completely bad.

He is different from the lower-level officers like Long Liguo and Han Li. Tao Anbang was a big boss in the Western Regions at that time. He surrendered to a grassroots rebel leader before fighting. He was also taken out by Richard and promoted it. It would be strange if his reputation was not bad...

Among the people of the Western Regions, even the Yuchi family, which was destroyed by Richard, had a better reputation than Tao Anbang...

You should know that the Ming Dynasty spared no effort to smear any force defeated by Richard!

From this we can see how bad Tao Anbang’s reputation is in the Western Regions!

Ordinary people would not care about the situation at that time. They would only remember that Tao Anbang, the boss at that time, surrendered unconditionally to the grassroots Richard who had not made a fortune, and even sold his underwear!

Many people in the Western Regions believe that Richard's rapid rise in the early stage is closely related to Tao Anbang's "coward" initiative to sacrifice his wealth...

Therefore, Tao Anbang has always been resentful towards Richard. The central government of the Ming Dynasty was clearly capable of speaking for him, but he never spent a lot of time and money to justify Tao Anbang!

After all, Tao Anbang's reputation has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the role model of Tao Anbang has disappeared after the Ming Dynasty unified the Western Regions. Why did Richard spend the money to start the propaganda machine of the entire dynasty to correct Tao Anbang's reputation?

The most important thing is that doing so has no political benefit to Richard!

Since ancient times, only the subordinates took the blame for the king, and I have never heard of the boss taking the blame for the subordinates...

Therefore, Tao Anbang's resentment can only be resentment after all, and he even dared not show it to prevent Richard from suppressing him.

I have to say that Tao Anbang has done a good job in this regard. Richard, who was busy establishing centralization and fighting, did not find that Tao Anbang was ill-behaved.

It was not until Tao Anbang became the commander of the Third Legion and had more than 10,000 people in his hand that he began to take action secretly!

Unfortunately, the soldiers of the field army all have military merits. Because of the military merits, the officers and soldiers are very aware that they must support the Ming Dynasty no matter what, and supporting the Ming Dynasty means supporting Richard!

Therefore, it is difficult for Tao Anbang to truly instigate the Third Field Army.

After Tao Anbang discovered this, he stopped decisively. Unfortunately, Tao Anbang's move this time attracted Richard's attention.

Although it did not cause any bad reactions on the surface, Richard had already put Tao Anbang on the blacklist after knowing about Tao Anbang's small move.

However, at that time, he was in the battle to attack the Northwest, and the field corps maintained public order in the rear, and later they fought a war of rebellion. Tao Anbang's performance was in a proper manner, and Richard had always been difficult to pull him off.

Therefore, when the northwest stabilized, the important task of encircling and suppressing the Tianshan faction was naturally on Tao Anbang's shoulders.

It was precisely because Richard knew that there was at least one ancestor in the Innate Realm hidden in the Tianshan Sect that he only led the team in the early stage of the Acquired Realm and gave him a lot of titles without realism, as if he was afraid that the group of local buns in the Tianshan Sect would not know who was the commander of this encirclement and suppression battle...

If Tao Anbang died in this Tianshan faction encirclement and suppression battle, Richard would naturally not have been scruples with a dead person. Tao Anbang could still retain his reputation in life and later life. As a commander of a large army, a grand burial was bound to be inevitable.

However, Tao Anbang, who has already entered the middle-aged and elderly, feels that he can live for a long time because of his martial arts skills. Now, in his 40s, he is not a problem to have fun and sing every night. He doesn’t want to be buried by the glory!

Therefore, Tao Anbang planned to be timid in this encirclement and suppression battle. However, as soon as he showed this intention, he found that the commanders of the Jinyiwei under him took out Richard's handwritten warrant, almost making him unable to retreat by "carrying" him to the front line.

Otherwise, Tao Anbang would be labeled as "de-duel" immediately!

Once he was labeled as a big hat, Richard had some ways to make Tao Anbang, who had returned alive, bear a lot of sins. It would be really hard for the boss to punish his subordinates...

If it were not for the stability of the Ming Dynasty, in the centralized Ming Dynasty, Richard could have ordered Tao Anbang to be imprisoned with one order.

Of course, doing so would be equivalent to feeding all the imperial dignity that Richard had finally accumulated, and no one was willing to serve an unreasonable tyrant...

Even if a king wants to kill someone, he needs to list the crimes, even a founding monarch cannot be avoided!

Tao Anbang also knew that his trip might have been retaliated by Richard, otherwise the commanders of the Jinyiwei would not have been able to bring out Richard's orders against him.

He, the leader, has completely become a nominal puppet...

Of course, these are all arrangements within the Ming army. In the eyes of Lingjiu Palace led by Tonglao Tianshan, Tao Anbang was still a Ming Dynasty boss they dared not offend.

The Lingjiu Palace and the thousands of Jinyiwei commanders of the Ming Dynasty were all in a vast and powerful manner, but because these thousands of people were all warriors, and the Lingjiu Palace was very familiar with the path of the Tianshan Sect, and the speed of traveling was very fast. In less than half a day, it arrived at the periphery of the Tianshan Sect gate.

Just as Tianshan Tonglao and Tao Anbang were discussing a rest on the spot and then attacking the Tianshan faction, a series of dazzling light suddenly lit up around the siege!

The disciples of the Tianshan Sect, who were wearing a cool white suit and looked righteous, seemed to have emerged from the snow. They drew out their swords at mysterious steps, pinched their fingers at Tianqiqi and shouted: "Tianshan Sword Formation, destroy!"

Tao Anbang, who was confused, looked at a huge sword composed of giant snow-white light spots suddenly appearing in the sky where he was, and slashed down with a bang!

"This...is this the foundation of the Tianshan School?"
