Chapter 93: Yangzhou Three Months

~8 min read 1,450 words

"Don't be so unconfident. In these two years, you have swept through the mountain bandits and water pirates around, and you have done well. Just treat the Jianghuai rebel army as mountain bandits on land." "What can Du Fuwei do? You are not inferior to him. Think about it, you are a descendant of Ling Tong, and that Du Fuwei is just a hoodlum."

Okay, only Su Fan dared to evaluate Du Fuwei like this. He was, after all, a big boss of a rebel army.

But in reality, Su Fan just thought so. Most of the peasant rebel armies, besides that Ming Taizu, none of them succeeded.

"This subordinate will definitely not let you down, Prefect."

Since it had been said to this point, even if Ling Zhan was a bit uneasy in his heart, he had to bite the bullet and go.

In reality, he wasn't completely without confidence in his heart. After all, he knew how powerful these commandery soldiers he had trained personally were. He hadn't fought rebel armies in these two years, it was just that Du Fuwei's name was bigger.

Since the Prefect trusted him, he naturally couldn't let down this trust.

Looking at the crowd excited like they had been injected with chicken blood, Su Fan was secretly gratified. Ling Zhan was already able to stand alone.

As for the others, although these people couldn't do what Ling Zhan did, at least they could be considered to have some talent.

Ren Tong and the others, in the two years, not only practiced martial arts, but also didn't fall behind in military strategy. In order to collect military strategy books, Su Fan had offended quite a few local aristocratic clans in the south.

After all, books and secret methods were the foundation of a clan's rise.

Su Fan was buying and trading, but it also belonged to a kind of forced buying and selling. However, the Prefect's office was powerful, and they didn't dare to offend him.

They could only silently curse Su Fan in their hearts.

Having determined the goal and also recognized Ling Zhan as the main general, the crowd then discussed how to send troops.

The Jianghuai Army of Du Fuwei now occupied about one-third of the Jianghuai region, mainly in the east to Kuaiji Commandery, west to Xin'an Commandery, and east to Yongjia Commandery.

It was about as large as four or five commanderies, and the rebel army under his command had about one hundred thousand. Of course, the real elites were probably only those one or two tens of thousands.

Peasant armies, most were holding wooden sticks as weapons, just like the Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Han Dynasty.

In reality, most of the rebel armies of the Great Sui today were like this. Most of them were from the bottom layer, or martial arts green forest people who rebelled, captured a few cities, and seized some weapons and armor.

They had no talents to govern a place, and money, food, soldiers, and armor all relied on looting. It would be strange if they could succeed.

It was just being a forerunner for others.

Those who truly succeeded were those aristocratic clans and military clans.

Kuaiji Commandery was to the south of Yuhang Commandery. Yuhang Commandery had fallen into Su Fan's hands before. The Iron Cavalry Association had captured Yuhang Commandery before, but was pushed back by Su Fan.

Because Su Fan killed Fa Nan, although Ren Shaoming of the Iron Cavalry Association clamored fiercely, he didn't send troops over again.

Of course, it might be because he couldn't take care of Su Fan here.

In these two years, because of his ranking list, all the major forces in the martial arts world had placed their focus on those unique arts.

In order to search for the unique arts on the ranking list, the major forces were also turning the world upside down.

It was truly lively, especially the battle in Luoyang, the battle between the Evil King, the Yin Queen, and the two great holy monks, which pushed this great drama to the peak.

The Buddhist sect, the Demonic Sect, and the aristocratic clans didn't give up.

Yuhang Commandery bordered Kuaiji Commandery. During this period, the Jianghuai Army had the intention to start harassing Yuhang Commandery.

It just so happened to take advantage of this time to wipe out the Jianghuai Army.

Ling Zhan and the others discussed how to send troops, which place to attack first. Su Fan just listened and didn't give any guidance.

He never did things where a layman guided an expert. You let him go to the battlefield to act as a vanguard to chop people, that was absolutely no problem.

But you let him command a battle, he really couldn't do it. Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't. With his learning ability, wanting to learn military strategy and master it, it was definitely no problem.

But he didn't want to become a famous general, so why spend that effort? Letting his subordinates do it was fine.

He did his own logistics well, and even now, he had put down the logistics work.

Ten years of Yangzhou dream, winning the name of a fickle lover in the brothel.

Yangzhou Jiangdu, after more than ten years of development by Yang Guang, was now one of the most prosperous cities in the Great Sui.

Jiangdu was even comparable to Luodu.

Sitting on a flower boat, heading north all the way, two days later, Su Fan arrived outside Jiangdu City.

Looking at this huge capital city in front of him, Su Fan didn't have any feelings. What kind of ancient city hadn't he seen? In the main world, he had even seen buildings above the clouds.

Entering Jiangdu City, Su Fan didn't go to the Yuwen Mansion.

Yang Guang headed south to Jiangdu, and Yuwen Huaji also followed.

In these two years, Yuwen Huaji had indeed cared about him quite a bit, sending quite a few talents, which was also why he could more safely close his door and practice martial arts.

However, regarding the Yuwen family, he really didn't have any feelings. He didn't want to be like the Huashan Sect in his previous life, where he spent almost his whole life inside and paid a lot of emotion.

Regarding the Yuwen family, he didn't need to worry. In the original work, Yuwen Shang finally followed the Li Clan and lived quite well.

However, in the tenth year of Daye, Su Fan sent his martial arts method back.

Yuwen Chengdu and Yuwen Wudi were both walking the path of the battlefield. To be honest, the talent of the two, if placed in the Three Kingdoms era, was also a top-tier existence.

Especially Yuwen Chengdu, he was absolutely a top-tier fierce general, but the Yuwen Clan's inheritance was a bit lagging. The Ice Profound Strength was okay, but in terms of martial general inheritance, there really wasn't much.

Otherwise, with Yuwen Chengdu's talent, it was absolutely impossible for him to have only this bit of strength.

Su Fan sent his martial arts method back, also hoping that Yuwen Chengdu could be as powerful as in the "Shuo Tang Zhuan."

In two years, Su Fan didn't know what his current strength was, but according to his deduction, as long as he practiced seriously, even if he couldn't reach Grandmaster combat power, among super first-class, he would belong to the top, even stronger than those like You Niaojuan and An Long.

In a few more years, breaking through to Grandmaster combat power would definitely be no problem.

"Flowers in the third month heading to Yangzhou! It's a pity that it won't be long before this place also falls into war."

Su Fan looked at this prosperous city and shook his head secretly. The Great Sui was full of rebel armies, and war was constant. There weren't many peaceful places.

Even a city as prosperous as Jiangdu still had many refugees outside the city. If it weren't for Su Fan settling hundreds of thousands of refugees in Wu Jun,

I'm afraid there would be even more here in Jiangdu City.

But now the potential of Wu Jun had been developed to the extreme, and Yuhang was also slowly developing. After wiping out Du Fuwei, Kuaiji Commandery could also be developed.

In this way, another million refugees could be gathered. ===== CHAPTER 94 =====

However, the potential of Wu Jun has now been developed to the extreme, and Yuhang is also being slowly developed; once Du Fuwei is taken care of, Kuaiji Commandery can also be developed.

In this way, another million refugees can be gathered.
