Chapter 333

It takes several years of training and actual combat to become a true elite main force.

"I will definitely not fail the Lord's trust!"

Xu Ding stood up excitedly and clasped his fists.

He didn't expect the Lord to value him so much.

Although it is only the Nanjun Commandant, and judging by the situation, he certainly won't be able to go to the front line to fight, but Nanjun is the Lord's basic base, so the position of Nanjun Commandant is naturally particularly critical.

He feels that having Xu Chu in their family is enough for charging and breaking through enemy lines.

His martial arts talent is not as good as Xu Chu's; although he has had the resources provided by the Lord over the years, he has only improved to the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, and it gets harder the further he goes.

His natural talent limits him; even if he practices the Tendon-Tempering and Bone-Forging Technique to improve his aptitude, it still takes time.

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci again: "Wenyuan! Ziyi! I order you to immediately head to the Qilin Battalion in Mount Tongbai and temporarily command the soldiers of the Qilin Battalion;"

"Zhang Liao as the main general, Taishi Ci as the deputy general, and Sun Xia and Han Zhong also as deputy generals;"

"Further reorganize the Qilin Battalion troops and wait for my orders at any time;"

"In addition, during this period, you must each select 3,000 troops to train, strive to form military formations as quickly as possible, and improve the fit, to facilitate your strengthening of the military formation's combat power, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci thought there was nothing for them to do, but they didn't expect the Lord to give such an appointment, so they were overjoyed and took the order together.

Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, and others looked on with envy.

It really basically means that Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci will both be able to lead an army independently very soon!

Of course, it's not without disadvantages.

The disadvantage is that they probably won't be able to participate in the upcoming crusade against Dong.

After all, it's not yet time for the Qilin Battalion to be exposed.

Finally, Su Xuan looked at Wen Pin and Huang Gai again: "Zhongye, Gongfu! In the next plan, we will take over the entire Jingzhou;"

"In this way, relying on just one Jiangling Water Navy is no longer enough!"

"Therefore, I want to split the Jiangling Water Navy into two, with 3,000 troops each, commanded by you, Zhongye, and Gongfu respectively;"

"I allow you to expand the troops to 8,000;"

"Afterwards, Wen Pin, you lead the water navy to Xiangyang County; the water navy camp has already been built there. Your troops will head north on the Han River and then station in Xiangyang to cooperate with the Nanyang troops in action, and be renamed the Xiangyang Water Navy;"

"Understood!"

Wen Pin immediately took the order.

Su Xuan then looked at Huang Gai and said: "Gongfu, the water navy under your command will remain the Jiangling Water Navy, and afterwards, it will cooperate with us to take over the commanderies of Wuling, Changsha, and Jiangxia."

"Understood!"

Huang Gai immediately took the order.

He was also extremely excited in his heart.

He was finally able to lead troops independently.

"Hmm! That's it! Quickly act according to the orders!"

Feeling that it was about enough, Su Xuan waved his hand and announced the end of the meeting.

The generals left one after another.

"Lord! Can I participate in the war? Do you have any specific tasks for me?"

At this time, Wei Yan ran over, looking at Su Xuan with eager eyes and asked.

He had received Su Xuan's support and training long ago.

It's just that he didn't join Su Xuan's command directly at the beginning, and only officially joined Su Xuan's command 1 year ago when he turned 15.

He had been serving as a military officer in the army before.

This time, it was obvious that he couldn't hold back anymore.

"And me! Lord!"

Immediately following, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin also gathered around, all looking at Su Xuan with eager eyes.

Seeing this, Su Xuan also felt somewhat amused.

He thought for a while and said: "Next, we have a high probability of sending troops to take over the entire Jingzhou first;"

"Wei Yan, Gan Ning, you two go to the Qinglong Battalion under Zhao Yun's command to serve as military officers, go to war with the army, accumulate some battlefield experience and military merit, and raise your positions as soon as possible!"

"Understood!"

Wei Yan and Gan Ning immediately took the order.

Then, Su Xuan looked at the remaining two and said: "Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, you two continue to stay in the Jiangling Water Navy, listen to General Huang Gai's orders, and go to war with the army!"

"Understood!"

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin immediately took the order.

"Hmm! Go ahead!"

Su Xuan waved his hand,

Then, Wei Yan and the others left one after another with happy steps.

Nanyang, in Jiyang City,

"Bang!"

When Yuan Shu heard the report from his subordinates that Su Xuan had sent the Black Armor Army and Xuanwu Battalion soldiers to cross the Han River and station in Deng County and Xinyue City, he was furious.

"Unreasonable! What does Su Xuan mean? By what right does he invade my Nanyang? Doesn't he know this is my territory?"

"What's especially excessive is that he even took Xinyue, which had already been occupied by me!"

"Is he trying to go to war with me?"

Nanyang is his, his.

How dare a mere Su Xuan compete with him?

Could it be that the Yuan clan's prestige is no longer useful?

Yan Xiang, who was on the side, frowned upon hearing this: "Lord! I'm afraid he really might have taken a fancy to Nanyang and doesn't want the Lord to monopolize this Nanyang;"

"After all, Nanyang is a part of Jingzhou;"

"And this General of the Vanguard, Su Xuan, is not a simple character; he has long been established in Jingzhou;"

"Now, seeing that the world is about to be in chaos, he is afraid that he wants to swallow the entire Jingzhou in one breath, so naturally, he cannot tolerate us taking Nanyang!"

Speaking of this, Yan Xiang also frowned, feeling that the matter was somewhat tricky.

Before, he really hadn't seriously considered Su Xuan's problem.

Completely ignored it.

Now it seems that I'm afraid everyone in the world has underestimated this Su Xuan.

This person's scheming is far beyond ordinary people.

"Could it be that he inferred the chaos years ago and started preparing early?"

Yan Xiang was very suspicious of this.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu frowned: "Su Boyuan has such a big appetite, isn't he afraid of choking to death?"

He really wanted to go to war with Su Xuan directly.

But now he has only 30,000+ troops under his command, which is not enough.

Moreover, most of them are new recruits, and there are problems with their combat power.

He didn't dare to go to war with Su Xuan at all.

"I'm afraid he really isn't afraid! Because he has this foundation and strength!!"

Yan Xiang couldn't help but sigh.

"Then what should we do? Are we going to hand over Nanyang on a silver platter?"

Yuan Shu asked angrily.

Yan Xiang immediately replied: "That's not necessary! Currently, Su Xuan is still only the Administrator of Nanjun and has no legitimate reason to invade Nanyang;"

"As long as the Lord occupies the remaining territory of Nanyang as soon as possible and legitimately obtains the position of Administrator of Nanyang, everything will naturally be solved!"

"By then, the troops under the Lord's command will be at least double what they are now, and you will have the confidence to face Su Xuan!"

"At that time, Lord, you can send someone to question Su Xuan and ask him to withdraw from Nanyang!"

He believed that even if Su Xuan was unwilling, if he was not in the right position, he would have to withdraw from Nanyang when the time came.

"Good! This is good!"

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Let's do it!"
