Chapter 105: Twin Dragons

"Young Master Yuwen's meaning is for us to rely on the Yuwen Clan?" Just as everyone was listening to Su Fan's suggestion and pondering, suddenly a somewhat harsh voice came from below.

Everyone looked closely and found that it was the third deacon, Tao Shusheng.

"Old Third, how are you talking? No matter what, Young Master Yuwen is also everyone's life-saving benefactor, and Young Master Yuwen is not wrong."

Everyone could hear the tone of irony in Tao Shusheng's words.

Fearing that Tao Shusheng's words would anger Su Fan, the first deacon, Liang Zhi, hurriedly apologized to Su Fan: "Young Master Yuwen, please forgive Old Third for being rude. He is also depressed because of the heavy casualties of the disciples. Please forgive any offense."

Su Fan naturally would not care about such a person. He knew that Tao Shusheng was the mole. In the original timeline, he colluded with the Four Great Bandits. This time, colluding with Lin Shihong, he thought there would be no problem.

However, he did not go to talk too much. If it weren't for Lu Miaoji's sake, he really wouldn't have mentioned the crisis of the Feima Ranch.

Where to go, he didn't care at all.

As for whether the Feima Ranch relied on him, he didn't have any thoughts either. Even if they relied on him, what could happen? The entire ranch had at most tens of thousands of warhorses.

Moreover, the warhorses of the Feima Ranch, compared to the battlefields in the north, were far insufficient in both quality and quantity.

"Hmph! This Young Master naturally will not argue with him."

"Mr. Lu, this is your ranch's business, so I won't say too much."

"Haha! Little Friend Yuwen is joking. I still have to thank you. Come, I will take you to the guest room."

"No need, let's go to your side."

Su Fan smiled and shook his head. Lu Miaoji's residence was better than ordinary places.

He already had the prototype of an array there. Under Su Fan's perception, the heaven and earth primordial Qi was richer than in ordinary places, and it was even more peaceful.

Obviously, these were arranged by Lu Miaoji himself.

Kuaiji Commandery.

"Ling Shao, it's satisfying! Today's battle was too satisfying. General Ling is simply a god in the use of troops. If I can learn military strategy from him, I will definitely be able to become a great general in the future."

In the military camp outside Shanyin City, in a tent, a young brigade commander was talking about the great battle during the day to another young man with great interest.

"Hehe! Ling Shao, today I am going to make a contribution. Today I captured a captain of the Jianghuai Army, and coupled with the military merits I made some time ago, Captain Su told me that I am going to be promoted to captain, just like him. At that time, I can command three hundred soldiers."

Kou Zhong was full of joy. At that time, he would be one step closer to his dream.

"Zhong Shao, look how excited you are."

Xu Ziling was full of calmness. "However, on the battlefield, you should still be careful. Don't charge too fiercely. The Jianghuai Army also has experts."

Although Xu Ziling also joined the army, he did not like killing. Therefore, after making contributions, he applied to go to the logistics and served as a brigade commander of the fire-cooking army, with hundreds of fire-cooking soldiers under his command.

But he was still very concerned about the Jianghuai Army they were fighting this time.

Now their Wu Jun soldiers had been fighting a great battle with the Jianghuai Army for more than a month, and they had fought more than a dozen battles, large and small. Of the eight county towns in Kuaiji Commandery, only the last one, Yuyao, had not been taken down.

In this piece of Kuaiji Commandery, the Jianghuai Army had already been beaten into a continuous retreat, but that did not mean the Jianghuai Army was finished.

Du Fuwei still had half of his troops stationed in Xuancheng Commandery, and he even occupied some county towns in Liyang Commandery.

Ever since Yang Guang abdicated, he had also been frantically expanding his army.

Even if they had killed and captured six or seven thousand of the other side's large army these days, they still could not take down Du Fuwei.

"Haha! Rest assured, Ling Shao. With my current strength, as long as I don't meet Du Fuwei and his general Chen Sheng, there will be no problem."

Kou Zhong said confidently: "Besides, right now Du Fuwei is still attacking over there in Liyang, and here there is only Chen Sheng. With General Ling Zhan and the others, I am not in any danger."

Xu Ziling heard this, but did not say much. They naturally understood each other's strength very well.

In the tenth year of Daye, they fled from Yangzhou to Wu Jun. Later, they heard that the Governor's Mansion was recruiting soldiers, and the treatment in the army was extremely good.

Kou Zhong himself had the dream of being a great general, so the two participated in the recruitment. After many assessments, the two also entered the county soldiers of the Governor's Mansion.

The two had experienced countless hardships since childhood, and their hearts were very firm. The training in the army was hard, but the two did not feel it. Instead, they felt that the treatment in the army was too good. Not only did they teach them to read and write, but they also had martial arts.

One must know that before, in Yangzhou, they had always wanted to join the Shi Long Dojo to learn martial arts, but it was a pity they had no money and could not enter.

Even if they stole the learning, they only learned two or three moves, which was of no use at all.

But the army of Wu Jun had martial arts to teach.

Because Kou Zhong wanted to become a great general, he chose the battlefield physical martial arts that the vast majority of people chose. In just two years, he had tempered his physical body to the realm of bone forging. After fighting so many battles on the battlefield, his strength had still improved to the peak of the second-rate.

Otherwise, he would not have easily taken down the other side's captain.

One must know that the captain of the Jianghuai Army was different from their imperial court's captain. The imperial court used the Auxiliary Soldier system, and Wu Jun also followed this military system relatively. A captain was almost equal to a military commander of the Han Dynasty, commanding a force of about three to five hundred people.

And the captain of the Jianghuai Army could command a partial division, which was about five thousand people.

A general with five thousand troops, no matter what, had to have second-rate strength; otherwise, it would be difficult to convince the public.

It was a pity that he met Kou Zhong, who had the protagonist's halo.

Today's Twin Dragons did not take the original path of cultivating the *Secrets of Longevity*, but they cultivated Su Fan's basic martial arts, which was not bad, and they were gifted by nature.

Coupled with the fact that the food in the army was extremely good, Xu Ziling, without many experts to teach him, also cultivated to a second-rate level, not inferior to Kou Zhong.

And the two did not know that they had already entered the eyes of Ling Zhan and the others.

It was just that right now, they were just testing the two, especially Kou Zhong, who in Ling Zhan's eyes had unlimited potential.

"Wait until I become a great general in the future, Ling Shao, you will be my Chief Clerk."

Kou Zhong grinned and started fantasizing again. Xu Ziling did not poke his fantasy. After all, life now was much better than the days when they were in danger a few years ago.

Although Xu Ziling did not like killing, he also understood that this situation was indispensable.

Born in troubled times, they had no way.

And Governor Yuwen had accepted hundreds of thousands of fleeing refugees in Wu Jun over the years. The Governor was kind, and they were willing to make efforts for this.

The rebel armies like the Jianghuai Army had corrupt military discipline, causing the people to live in misery. Xu Ziling naturally did not like it either.

Taking down the Jianghuai Army, the Governor's territory would be larger, and he could absorb more homeless refugees.

Regarding this, Xu Ziling had no objections. This was also the reason why he was willing to join the army.

He did not like killing, but he also hoped that someone could quickly end this troubled world. ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
