Chapter 194

"If you do not meet the requirements, then it will continue to be extended until you do;"

"I simply do not believe that I cannot improve your physical fitness?"

"Huh? Do I have to?"

Guo Jia, upon hearing this, let out a miserable howl and looked at Su Xuan with pleading eyes.

But Su Xuan remained unmoved and instead looked at Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, the matter of training this fellow is entrusted to you! Along with Su Zhan, drill him well!"

"Understood!"

Xu Chu immediately accepted the order and grinned at Guo Jia and Su Zhan.

This made both of them shiver, with a sense of impending doom.

Five days later,

Su Xuan's side was already prepared.

Each army had also been initially assembled. Su Xuan did not delay any longer and immediately led his men across the Han River, entering the territory of Nanjun. Then, passing through Fancheng, Yicheng, and Dangyang, he headed south, taking two days to arrive at Jiangling City, the capital of Nanjun.

Before they even reached the city gates, the officials in the city had long since arrived at a pavilion ten miles away to welcome them.

"We respectfully welcome the Administrator and the General Who Pacifies the South!"

"No need for such formalities! Everyone rise! Follow me into the city!"

Su Xuan waved his hand, not paying much mind to it. He immediately led these people forward, arriving at the gates of Jiangling City, and proceeded directly into the city.

Afterward, he had Xu Chu take over the Administrator's Office and Huang Zhong take over the commandery soldiers.

At the same time, he arranged for each army to be stationed outside the city.

Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Seeing Xun You You, and others also took over the administrative affairs of the Nanjun Administrator's Office.

At the same time, Seeing Xun You You also had to begin constructing the framework for the General Who Pacifies the South's Office.

Everything began to operate in an orderly fashion.

As for the General Who Pacifies the South's Office?

Su Xuan had already ordered people a few days ago to have Huang Chengyan come ahead of time to help design and oversee its construction.

Furthermore, since he now had his own territory, the Ordnance Department, along with his steel-smelting workshops, ordnance workshops, hydraulic forging workshops, weaving workshops... and so on, all had to be gradually relocated to Nanjun territory.

Otherwise, once the warlords' struggle for hegemony began, who knew if these industries would be seized by others if left in Nanyang?

He certainly wanted to seize and occupy Nanyang himself.

But the timing was not yet ripe; he had to wait until Liu Hong died and Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang before he could gradually take action.

Therefore, such important things were better off being relocated to his own territory first!

Some workshops could even take this opportunity to expand their scale.

To manufacture and accumulate more things for him.

Of course, the secret base west of Dengxian would not be completely abandoned.

It would be temporarily sealed, and it would not be too late to restart it after he had taken Nanyang.

Because Su Xuan was originally from Jingzhou, and Dengxian was only separated from Nanjun by a river, coupled with the marital ties between the Su family and the Huang, Pang, Cai... and other families, Nanjun could actually be considered his own private territory.

Coupled with his current prestige and status, taking control of Nanjun was quite smooth, and no one with no sense of propriety jumped out to cause him trouble.

Of course, there were quite a few mountain bandits and barbarian disturbances within Nanjun.

Su Xuan entrusted these to Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Zhang He to lead their respective armies to handle.

It just so happened that as they reorganized and assembled their troops, they needed actual combat to integrate and improve.

These bandit and barbarian disturbances provided exactly the right experience.
