Chapter 107: Attacking Cities and Seizing Land

~8 min read 1,418 words

Yuhang Commandery, ever since it fell into Su Fan's hands, had become a key town. It still followed the original set. The grassroots team quickly imitated the actions of Wu Jun and quickly completed the work on Yuhang Commandery.

Thirty thousand people were migrated from Wu Jun, and Yuhang Commandery also completed its transformation in the eleventh year of Daye.

It had already become the second Wu Jun, but the construction of infrastructure was lagging behind Wu Jun. After all, Wu Jun had been "carefully" built by Su Fan for four or five years.

Lin'an City.

The Governor's Mansion soldiers of Wu Jun returned from the battle in Kuaiji Commandery.

After two months of great battle, Kuaiji Commandery finally completed the work of recovery. The partial division of the Jianghuai Army of Du Fuwei, under Ling Zhan's command, saw Chen Sheng picked to death by a spear on the battlefield by Ren Tong. The eighty thousand partial division was thus completely taken down.

Although the Jianghuai Army still had tens of thousands of troops in Dongyang Commandery, those were just remnants.

The Jianghuai Army at this moment only had Du Fuwei's large army stationed in Liyang and Xuancheng.

After the great battle, naturally, there were rewards.

The Governor's Mansion soldiers of Wu Jun naturally had a set of rules for rewarding meritorious service, and this rule was also extremely fair.

From top to bottom, those who made contributions on the battlefield were either given money and grain or promoted to official positions.

Everyone's face showed a look of joy, although in this battle, the Governor's Mansion soldiers of Wu Jun also lost one-tenth of their troops.

But compared to their achievements, the loss was very small.

Chen Sheng's troops totaled one hundred thousand. Of course, half of them were a rabble, among which more than ten thousand were beheaded on the battlefield, seventy thousand were captured, and the rest fled.

It could be said that this partial division of the Jianghuai Army of Chen Sheng was completely finished.

Outside Lin'an City, the large army was stationed. In the commander's tent, officers of all levels, after the military supply officer announced the Governor's rewards.

Ling Zhan spoke again: "Everyone, the battle of Kuaiji Commandery has ended. In this battle, we won. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, in the end, for all of us, it is good."

"The Governor's praise, everyone already knows. However, we cannot be complacent. The Jianghuai Army has not been completely eliminated. Their main force is still over there in Liyang and Xuancheng."

"We only eliminated a partial division, which is not worth being proud of. We need to work harder. As far as I know, Du Fuwei has already taken Liyang, and next, he will definitely free up his hands."

"At that time, we will face an even more powerful Jianghuai Army. Does everyone have confidence?"

Ling Zhan asked.

"Yes!"

The many officers in the tent shouted excitedly.

They had never been afraid of battle. Even if it was the main force of the Jianghuai Army, so what? They believed in the Governor, believed in the General, and at the same time believed in themselves and their companions.

"Good! Since everyone has this confidence, then we will take the initiative to attack. After the large army rests for ten days, we will send troops to Xuancheng."

Seeing this, Ling Zhan was even more high-spirited.

After the meeting ended, the various officers walked out of the commander's tent with joy.

"Haha! Ling Shao, Ling Shao, I have been promoted to captain. I have become a captain!"

Kou Zhong ran out of the tent first and flew toward Xu Ziling's tent, full of joy.

From a small soldier to a brigade commander, he used two years of time. Two years of hard training allowed him to stand out among ten thousand people, and finally, he moved his superiors and was promoted to become a brigade commander, commanding a hundred-man team.

And from a brigade commander to a courageous captain, he only used less than two months of time.

Sure enough, only by obtaining military merits on the battlefield was the fastest method of promotion.

"Congratulations, Zhong Shao. You are two steps closer to being a great general."

Xu Ziling heard this and was also happy for his brother, so he teased him a few times. They naturally knew that being a great general was not a joke of a dream.

The fantasy of youth is the most beautiful.

"Hehe! I can now command fifteen hundred elite soldiers, and General Ling Zhan even allocated me three hundred cavalry."

"When we send troops to Xuancheng, I will take down this old guy Du Fuwei."

Kou Zhong was full of fantasies.

"Sending troops again?"

Xu Ziling heard this and had a bit of faint sadness.

"Ziling, don't worry. I feel that my strength has improved recently. Sure enough, the Governor was right. For us martial generals on the battlefield, the improvement of strength is still on the battlefield."

"Alas! I don't worry about you. Zhong Shao, you are known as the number one person of the younger generation in the army. Even I, a fire-cooking soldier, have heard of you, this fierce person."

Xu Ziling also quickly diluted the faint sadness in his heart. People will die in war; he was already used to it.

And the Governor and General Ling Zhan were not people who loved killing. Those Jianghuai Army soldiers who were captured were all sent to build roads, build water canals, and so on.

As long as they worked peacefully for a few years, they could become commoners of Wu Jun and Yuhang Commandery. In the future, they would be distributed land and become people with land. Compared to the days they lived before, they didn't know how much better it was.

Under the Governor's rule, there was no war, and there was no exploitation. Aristocratic clans and Jianghu people did not dare to easily kill the common people at the bottom.

Compared to when they were in Yangzhou, they lived much better.

As long as you have strength and are willing to work, living is absolutely no problem. If you have a special skill, not to mention a wealthy life, but you can absolutely live very happily.

"Hehe! That's right. I am a future great general. Can I not be fierce?" Kou Zhong would not be shy. Being praised, he was even more excited.

"Ziling, I heard that an expert came to the Wu Jun Academy. It is Mr. Shi Long. In the future, you can also ask him for martial arts, so your cultivation speed will also speed up."

Regarding his brother, Kou Zhong was naturally more concerned. He took the path of battlefield physical martial arts, and in this regard, he had the most advantage because the experts in the army all took this path.

Especially their Governor, who was an invincible fierce general and a rare expert in the world. According to General Ling Zhan, their Governor's strength was at least at the Grandmaster level.

What is a Grandmaster? Kou Zhong naturally already understood.

Back when they were mixing in Yangzhou, the most powerful leader of the Zhuhua Gang was only a first-class Innate expert.

At that time, in their eyes, he was the most powerful person.

But now he already knew that a first-class Innate expert, in the hands of a Grandmaster, was like an ant and could not even take a move.

Even if it were him now, Kou Zhong was confident that he could spar a few times with that leader of the Zhuhua Gang.

"I don't care. Life now is already very good. The strength of strength actually doesn't have much relationship."

Xu Ziling was not very happy. He was already very satisfied with his life now and did not seek to become any expert.

His wish before was just to hope to live better.

"By the way, Zhong Shao, did you send someone to ask about Zhen Sao?"

"Rest assured, I sent someone over long ago. Don't worry. That black-hearted boss will never dare to make things difficult for Zhen Sao again. Otherwise, I will smash his shop."

The two had made it now, so naturally, they would not forget Zhen Sao, who had been very good to them. If it hadn't been for Zhen Sao, whether the two could have lived until now would have been a problem. ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
