Chapter 140: with translation of chapter title

Completely different from the dark currents surging in Wu Shan Cheng.

At this moment, in Mu Shan Cheng, all the major camps present a thriving scene.

Although the defense battle not long ago caused Mu Shan Cheng to lose many Combat Soldiers.

But precisely because of this, it has further ignited the soldiers' enthusiasm for training.

The Imperial Court's condolences and rewards have not yet been issued.

Guan Zhen took the initiative, using all the seized resources to reward the Combat Soldiers.

Not even a single fen or li was left!

When the resources allocated by the Imperial Court arrive in the account, they will then be stored.

The heavily damaged Third Camp, under Gu Han's leadership, is flourishing day by day.

At first, regarding Gu Han coming to take command of the Third Camp.

Several Dutong harbored dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Although Gu Han had achieved great merit, everyone was a Great Martial Master—who would willingly submit to whom?

Gu Han did not try to reason with them emotionally; instead, he chose to convince them with reason!

Fists are the greatest truth in this world!

After Gu Han, fighting one against three, thoroughly beat up the few troublemakers who refused to submit to him.

The remaining Dutong immediately became genuinely convinced of Gu Han!

They previously did not submit to Gu Han, merely thinking their own abilities could barely stand in as acting Bijang.

But since their strength is inferior, refusing to submit is not acceptable!

The regular meeting of the camp Bijang.

Zhou Kuan and the others, as usual, reported to General Guan Zhen the training situation of the camps during this period.

After the routine report concluded, Guan Shan then turned his gaze to Gu Han.

"Gu Han, I've heard that during this period, there are not a few criticisms of you among the camps."

Gu Han nodded slightly and said calmly,

"I just like the way they look at me with displeasure but can't do anything about me."

Although as a Bijang he is not deeply rooted in the military camp,

many people still voluntarily act as his informants, passing unpleasant words to his ears.

Some say Gu Han does not understand the camp's rules.

Having become a Bijang in such a short time, it is inevitable that he will have omissions in camp affairs.

But more people say Gu Han practices favoritism!

Besides the Dutong being unable to place their own people,

all Gu family descendants have been exceptionally appointed as Captains of Hundred and Squad Leaders in the Third Camp.

Even Gu family descendants who enlisted in other camps in previous years

have considered transferring to the Third Camp.

With their abilities, transferring to the Third Camp would easily allow them to seize the position of Dutong, wouldn't it?

It is simply a plan to turn the Third Camp into a Gu family-only echo chamber!

"Gu Han, three men make a tiger, many voices can melt metal."

The newly promoted Bijang of the Eighth Camp is a late-stage Great Martial Master.

He smiled and advised,

"If the Gu family descendants in your camp had the same strength as you, even if you gave them the Dutong position, we would have nothing to say."

"But their strength is insufficient, and you place them in high positions—how can you silence the multitude of voices?"

The Bijang of the Tenth Camp also said with a smile,

"Exactly, in my view, Gu Han, you should let them return to the positions they belong to, so as to avoid constant criticism."

Although they appear to be speaking for Gu Han's benefit,

anyone can see that their words are actually blaming Gu Han for his actions!

Gu Han coldly glanced at the two of them.

These people lack the ability to cause trouble for themselves, so they want to attack me with public opinion?

He immediately let out a cold laugh,

"If you two are so inclined, let those who have objections to me come and complain to me themselves."

"Otherwise, how I manage the Third Camp is hardly something outsiders can criticize!"

Upon hearing this, the two Bijang's faces instantly turned grim.

The outsiders Gu Han referred to clearly include the two of them!

"Gu Han, we say this for your own good."

Liang Fang, the Bijang of the Eighth Camp, said in a deep voice,

"Others' opinions may not matter, but if there are capable people in your camp watching their positions being taken, they will surely feel resentful!"

"When that happens, it will affect your control over the Third Camp!"

Gu Han replied lightly,

"Since you know others' opinions don't matter, it's best to say less."

This sentence directly silenced Liang Fang's words in his mouth.

Zhou Kuan, Guan Shan, and the others are seasoned veterans.

In their eyes, the dispute among Gu Han and his companions is merely a minor squabble.

They even still had a bit of a desire to watch the show.

Therefore they just watched Gu Han and the others argue, with no intention of interrupting.

Liang Fang also stopped trying to be boring; she just gave a cold snort and fell silent.

Guan Zhen chuckled,

"The supplies dispatched by the Imperial Court have already arrived at Zhong Cheng; they will soon set out for Mu Shan Cheng."

Upon hearing this, all the officers present became excited.

Although the supplies seized on the battlefield are many,

But too many soldiers died, and just the compensation payments constitute a huge expense.

Finally, the resources left in the hands of the Combat Soldiers are already scarce.

Originally they could have prioritized providing the resources to the Combat Soldiers for use.

After receiving the supplies allocated by the Imperial Court, they would then be used as compensation payments for the families of the fallen soldiers.

But many families had lost their main pillar, which in itself was a heavy blow.

All the soldiers could not bear to see the families of the fallen soldiers washing their faces with tears every day.

Advance disbursement of compensation payments is the only thing they can do, a trifling matter.

And now the supplies allocated by the Imperial Court have finally arrived, letting them breathe a sigh of relief.

"However, bandits have been rampant near Zhong Cheng recently, and the Zhong Cheng side hopes we can send some people to receive the supplies, lest they be seized by bandits."

Zhong Cheng is the central major city in the southeast of Ben Lang Guo.

It is also the transshipment hub for supplies of the surrounding cities.

Logically speaking, even if there were bandits in such a place, they would only dare to commit petty theft.

Who would dare to intercept the military grain shipments? They must be tired of living.

Moreover, storage rings exist.

Send one person carrying a storage ring loaded with grain to Mu Shan Cheng.

And who could notice anything amiss?

Bandits, can they really detect who is carrying the grain?

Guan Shan and the others voiced their inner doubts, whereupon Guan Zhen merely shook his head,

"I don't know the exact situation either, but since Zhong Cheng has sent word, we can't just stand by."

"Who is willing to make this trip and bring back the supplies?"

As soon as Guan Zhen finished speaking, Gu Han stepped forward at the first moment.

He clasped his fists and said in a deep voice,

"General Guan, I am willing to go to Zhong Cheng and will surely bring the grain back intact to Mu Shan Cheng!"

Now the Saber-Tooth Army has retreated to defend Dan Ren Cheng, and the border passes see no fighting.

Although Gu Han had become a Bijang, he also enjoyed watching the soldiers train.

But he himself was about to go crazy staying here.

If the bandits of Zhong Cheng are real, this would also be a good chance for him to break through to Great Martial Master!

However, the Bijang Liang Fang of the Eighth Camp merely sneered at Gu Han.

"General Guan, I have no doubt whatsoever about the personal strength of Gu Bijang."

"But the Third Camp may not be able to work together!"

"If Gu Bijang only brings those people from the Gu Family, it might cause trouble!"

"If the grain is lost, Mu Shan Cheng cannot afford such a loss!"

Saying this, Liang Fang suddenly changed the tone of her speech,

"Our Eighth Camp is united as one; we will surely bring back all the grain!"

"Please, General Guan, entrust this mission to our Eighth Camp!"
