My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

As the saying goes, you will know whether it is a mule or a horse by taking it out for a walk.

Youying has been at the bottom of the list for several years in a row, and the supplies approved by the higher authorities have been getting worse and worse.

Don't underestimate this military competition, as it concerns the order of distributing supplies before each war and selecting spoils after the war. Those in the front naturally get to choose the best weapons and armor, while those behind can only pick up what's left.

Yang Liqun had been feeling aggrieved for a long time because of this, with a lot of resentment in his heart but nowhere to vent it.

If he loses again in the military competition this year, Yang Liqun will want to quit his job!

"Team leader, you will definitely go up this year, right?" Ever since Zong Yanli was promoted to team leader, Monkie and others still called him team leader in private. Now Zong Yanli can also cook for himself openly. He goes to get rice and grains, and sets up a stove in front of the small tent to make a fire and cook.

"Are you fully recovered from your injury?" Huo Wenqi drank the rice porridge mixed with some wild vegetables, which was considered a good meal in the army.

"No problem." Of course Zong Yanli would go. Not only had she been promoted so quickly, but now her father was also a general.

No matter what, she should go up and bring honor to her father, show her strength, and let others know that she, Zong Yanli, is not some weakling who got promoted through the back door.

Zong Yanli thought for a moment, then turned to Wen Nian and said, "You go too."

Wen Nian looked up: "Me?"

"It's just a competition between comrades, no bloodshed." Zong Yanli didn't want Wen Nian to bear the disgust and fear of others like he did in his previous life. She wanted Wen Nian to stand beside her openly, and naturally she also wanted the soldiers in the army to see his abilities.

"Okay." Wen Nian nodded in response.

"When Zheng Liyang left, he took a lot of his accomplices with him. We don't have many people in our team now." Kuang Xingquan said, "I think we should all go up and compete to establish our captain's authority and let them know how powerful he is."

Zheng Liyang was the previous team leader. Having been in this position for a long time, he had some prestige, and many of his subordinates who were on good terms with Zheng Liyang found excuses to follow him.

There is already a shortage of personnel in the army, and these soldiers all admire strong men. If they follow a good general, they will be able to share some broth in the future.

This is human nature, but it also led to the fact that after Zong Yanli took office, he had no one else to use except Meng Qi and his accomplices.

Huo Wenqi, Kuang Xingquan and others gave her advice and even sacrificed some of their belongings to inquire about the personnel information of other camps.

Zong Yanli actually had some understanding of the people from the other camps. They had fought against each other in military competitions in his previous life, and few of them were able to beat them, so Zong Yanli didn't feel much sense of urgency. On the contrary, Monk and the others were very enthusiastic, and they even taught each of them their unique moves.

"My move is called Black Tiger Heart-Digger!"

"...Where are you pulling!!!"

"Boss, this is called attacking the enemy when they are unprepared. Even though it's a little ugly, it works at the critical moment!"

"..."

Zong Yanli smiled and raised his hand to support his forehead, feeling helpless.

Kuang Xingquan also shook his head, looking helplessly at the laughing people, and turned to Zong Yanli and said, "I don't know what powerful generals there are in the central army, but there are two captains in the left camp who need to be dealt with carefully."

Kuang Xingquan considered his words and said, "One of them is the captain of the Jiazi Battalion, Jin Da."

"This man is good at using swords. I heard that he once studied under the world's best swordsman. His swordsmanship is quite powerful." Kuang Xingquan said solemnly, "When you fight him, be careful of the sword in his hand."

"The second person is Shi Potian, a powerful general known as the Shield of the Left Camp."

"This man is three times stronger than Monkie, and his strength is beyond words. It is said that he can lift a stone lion by himself." Kuang Xingquan sighed with worry and said, "When you fight him, you must not compare him with strength."

Zong Yanli thought to himself that it was these two people again, they were old rivals.

Jin Da is indeed an expert swordsman, but he is a very conceited person.

Zong Yanli had no dealings with him, but Shi Potian, whose original name was Shidun, felt that the name was too embarrassing after he took command of the army, so he changed his name to Shi Potian on his own initiative. In the previous life, when our army fought with Nankang, the left camp was almost wiped out, and it was Shi Potian who single-handedly stopped thousands of troops.

That battle was so brutal. Shi Potian fought to the death and protected the soldiers of Zuoying to evacuate. He was a well-deserved shield of Zuoying.

Amidst intense preparations, the military competition finally arrived as scheduled.

The parade ground stands were headed by Zong Yanhongjing, the left camp commander Peng Deqing, the right camp commander Yang Liqun, and all the generals from the front and rear camps of the central army.

A temporary competition arena was built in the middle of the training ground, and people formed three circles around it to watch the game.

There were no rules in military competitions. Any weapon on the weapon rack beside the arena could be used. Whoever fell off the arena would be considered the loser. The competition lasted for three days. Most of the contestants on the first day were there to test the waters. There was nothing particularly interesting about the contestants who were equally matched.

People like Jinda and Shi Potian would never show up at a time like this.

Zong Yanli followed Kuang Xingquan and others to watch the competition for two days, and also took a look to see if there were any dark horses emerging in the army this year.

On the third day, those who could stand on the arena had some skills, and the competition became more and more intense. The generals sitting high on the podium also perked up, wanting to see if there were any good talents in the army so that they could find an opportunity to recruit them to their own army in the future.

"Isn't that Lu Hao?" On the ring, Lu Hao met the current ring master, and the two started fighting.

"This Lu Hao is quite good at fighting." Seeing Lu Hao knock the man down in just two or three moves, Monkie said with a bit of admiration.

"After all, he is a team leader. How can he win the support of the others if he has no skills?" Kuang Xingquan was not surprised. If he had no skills, they would not have been able to lead the princess out of Dunkou City and escape from the pursuers and return safely.

"Huh?" Huo Wenqi beside him suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"The one who came up to the ring was not Lu Hao's accomplice. I think his name is Duan Yuanqing, right?" Huo Wenqi asked in surprise and confusion, "If he is an accomplice, why did he go up to challenge his leader?"

There were many discussions in the left camp, and some even spat and cursed: "You bastard who curses his mother as soon as he puts down his chopsticks, bah!"

We are not fools. It is obvious that Duan Yuanqing wants to step forward and pull down his own leader, right?

Kuang Xingquan frowned as he looked at this. If he worked with such a person, he might be stabbed on the battlefield. This was not the way to fight for credit!

"When I was in Gao Country, I thought Duan Yuanqing was a good person because he didn't talk much." Monkie's eyes widened with disgust. Although they were not necessarily respectful to their leader at the beginning, they never thought of bringing him down.

A man must speak with his ability and strength!

Even though Kuang Xingquan was replaced by the new team leader, he was angry, but he was still thinking about how to kill more enemies and make more contributions.
