Special War God

The ten people named by Liu Dabazi received the military order, their eyes sparkling, and they were glad to be chosen by Liu Dabazi. As expected, they immediately gained wealth and military status. After pacifying the ten people around him, Liu Dabazi named again: "Xia Zhongnan, Gu Xiuzhang, Hong Ruoji."

Thirty people came forward, and Liu Dabazi said to them: "You three performed well in the previous competition. Xia Zhongnan, I will reward you with a Yuanshi; Gu Xiuzhang, you will get two bottles of Ningyuan Dan; Hong Ruoji, you will get a bottle of Ningyuan Dan. You will all be under my command now."

When this reward was announced, everyone was surprised. You know, Xia Zhongnan is a novice, but he can get a Yuanshi. What a great reward! Many casual cultivators here have never even seen what a Yuanshi looks like!

Then, Liu Dabazi shouted to the crowd: "Our Thirteenth Army has just been established, and many positions in the army have not yet been determined. Whoever performs well will have the opportunity to be promoted. This is a rare opportunity for you. Tell me, do you want these vacant positions?"

More than 10,000 people were shouting frantically below: “We want it!”

Liu Dabazi continued, "If you want, then prove your attitude with actions and strength."

After that, Liu Dabazi asked Qian Xiangyang, Mao Zizhuang, Li Xiuyan and others to select their own soldiers and horses, and he would not care about these matters. After everyone has selected their team, they will definitely need to promote some people to help manage it. They will establish their own prestige and show favor.

Although Liu Dabazi appeared humble in front of Xu Shouting, he was actually smart and capable. If he was not capable, how could he have followed Xu Shouting for so many years? Now that he was the "General of Yangwu", with a little operation, the morale of the army would quickly stabilize, and soon everything would be on track.

He came to the tent of "General Yangwu" and asked people to call Xia Zhongnan, Gu Xiuzhan and Hong Ruoji.

After the three of them exchanged greetings, Liu Dabazi said to them cordially, "We are all brothers. You don't have to be too restrained in private in the future. Just find a stool and sit down casually!"

Xia Zhongnan found a stool and sat down not far from Liu Dabazi. This distance was very important. If they were too far away, it would be inconvenient for communication and would make people feel distant; if they were too close, it would seem disrespectful to the general. Their relationship with Liu Dabazi was not that close yet.

Gu Xiuzhan and Hong Ruoji imitated Xia Zhongnan and placed their stools in similar positions.

Liu Dabazi nodded secretly, it can be seen that these three people knew how to advance and retreat.

Xia Zhongnan said, "The general summoned us here, so he must have something important to tell us. Please give us your instructions!"

Liu Dabazi replied: "You are the most outstanding among the three new recruits and have left a deep impression on me. As you know, our Thirteenth Army is just being established and is in urgent need of various talents. But I cannot examine so many people one by one, so I only called you three to give you a chance to show your talents. Later, I will arrange suitable positions for you based on your performance."

The three of them immediately bowed their hands in thanks: "Thank you for your training, General!"

Liu Dabazi waved his hand and continued, "You know your abilities best. It's up to you how you show them to me."

Gu Xiuzhang and Hong Ruoji looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment, and both looked at Xia Zhongnan involuntarily...

Xia Zhongnan smiled slightly. Can this kind of thing be done?

He said: "General, the 13th Army has just been established. What is most needed now is to train soldiers. I am willing to take charge of this task."

Liu Dabazi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Can you train soldiers? How many people can you train?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "It depends on how many soldiers the general can give me."

Liu Dabazi laughed: "What a big mouth, what an interesting person! How about this, you go to Mao Zizhuang and be a centurion, helping him lead a team of 100 people. Let me see your training results in a month, how about it?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "Yes, sir!"

Liu Dabazi said, "Okay, it's settled! What about you two? Have you thought about it?"

Gu Xiu Zhang said: "General, I have some insights from the previous battles, and I would like to consolidate what I have learned during this period of time. Please approve it!"

When they were competing, Liu Dabazi was right beside them. Of course, he understood Gu Xiuzhang's situation, so he said, "It is also important to understand the opportunity. Let's wait and make arrangements later!"

Gu Xiuzhan quickly expressed his gratitude, and Liu Dabazi looked at Hong Ruoji again, waiting for his reply.

Hong Ruoji said shyly: "General, I am not suitable for training soldiers. I am a rough man and I am not familiar with the army. I will do whatever the general asks me to do."

Liu Dabazi saw through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Then I won't embarrass you. You can stay with Qian Xiangyang in my personal guard for now!"

After everything was arranged, Liu Dabazi was ready to let the three people leave. Xia Zhongnan quickly said, "General, there is one more thing I would like you to agree to."

Liu Dabazi asked: "Oh, is there anything else?"

Xia Zhongnan said: "General, Gu Xiuzhang has not yet decided where to go. I would like to ask you to let him be my deputy first."

Liu Dabazi thought it was something important, and it turned out to be like this. After thinking about it, he agreed.

The three of them left the general's tent. Hong Ruoji said goodbye to them and went to report to Qian Xiangyang, while Xia Zhongnan took Gu Xiuzhan to find Mao Zizhuang.

At this time, Mao Zizhuang was taking five new cultivators, several generals and Qian Xiangyang to assign ordinary soldiers.

The five generals and Qian Xiangyang, the head of the Royal Guards, had just fought for more than 50 independent cultivators. Independent cultivators were their primary target, and the five generals had originally planned to divide them equally, but Qian Xiangyang used the name of Liu Dabazi and forcibly took more than half, and the five generals could not change their minds even if they were dissatisfied.

It was too time-consuming to select more than 10,000 ordinary soldiers, so in the end they had to select a part for each person.

They thought Xia Zhongnan, Gu Xiuzhang and Hong Ruoji would be kept by Liu Dabazi, but they were surprised that they were sent to other places directly. Mao Zizhuang was so happy when he heard that Xia Zhongnan and Gu Xiuzhang had come to report.

Mao Zizhuang asked: "The general sent you here. Do you have any other plans?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "The general asked me to come here as a centurion, and Gu Xiuzhang is here to assist me. Please take good care of me, Lord General!"

Mao Zizhuang was surprised and said, "Oh? How can the general be so stingy to only let you be a centurion? Come with me to see the general, and I promise to find you a better position!"
