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

Zong Yanli was a little surprised, but mostly happy.

Although she defeated Shi Potian in her previous life, it was not as easy and smooth as it was today. The two of them fought to exhaustion, and Zong Yanli was beaten to the point where he could hardly get up. He had countless wounds of varying sizes on his body, and he stood up entirely by relying on his own willpower.

Although she won the competition, Zong Yanhongjing did not give her the important task of leading the troops back to Nankang for support.

"I will definitely not disobey your orders!" Zong Yanli bowed and knelt on one knee, responding without hesitation.

"Good!" Zong Yanhongjing was very pleased. He was naturally happy that Zong Yanli had such courage.

The strength Zong Yanli demonstrated in the military competition is enough to prove himself.

And at such times her identity would add glory to her.

When Zong Yanli and Wen Nian returned to Xuanying, they found that there were many people gathered outside Xuanying. Kuang Xingquan, Huo Wenqi and others seemed overwhelmed to deal with them.

After seeing Zong Yanli coming back, he was greatly relieved and immediately shouted to everyone, "Our Zong Yan team is back!"

"Captain Zong Yan! We are here to join Xuanying!" A group of people came over and talked at once. Zong Yanli seemed to understand what they said. News spread quickly in the army, and the news that Zong Yanhongjing made a bet with Peng Deqing on the general's platform had already spread.

Yang Liqun had already gone to Zuoying to bring back the military supplies, so naturally everyone knew that Zong Yanli was going to lead his troops back to support Nankang.

Zong Yanli was short of staff, so Yang Liqun sent people to him and let him choose.

Among the crowd, Bai Xiujun and Qian Zhixing pushed their way out. Fearing that Zong Yanli had forgotten them, they quickly mentioned the recruit camp.

"You are here too?" Zong Yanli didn't want to cause chaos in Xuanying, so he asked these people to register their names and then let them go back, leaving only Bai Xiujun and Qian Zhixing behind.

"My place is simple, let's talk outside." Zong Yanli didn't care about anything. He asked the two to sit down around the stove, asked Wen Nian to pour two bowls of water, and asked which general's account the two had been serving during this period.

Bai Xiujun and Qian Zhixing had similar experiences. Qian Zhixing was better off as he was assigned to the front camp and became a patrol guard. However, Bai Xiujun was not so lucky. He was assigned to be a fireman and then to the rear camp to take care of war horses. Generally speaking, they were all meaningless jobs.

They all saw Zong Yanli's success in the military competition, but they were too far away to squeeze in.

Now that they knew Zong Yanli was going to lead the troops, the two knew that their chance had come, and they used some money to bribe people and finally squeezed in.

If you want to stand out in the military, strength plays a big part.

However, there are quite a few brave men in the army. Only those who are outstanding like Zong Yanli and Wen Nian will be noticed, while it is really difficult for others to be noticed. Even those who are slightly outstanding in the recruit camp like Qian Zhixing will be lost in the crowd after being divided into different camps.

"It may not be an easy task to go back to Nankang to help." Zong Yanli pondered for a moment, then said carefully, "If you go with me, you must be prepared for a life-threatening situation."

"I'm not afraid!" Bai Xiuyun was almost wiping away tears.

"I'd rather die on the battlefield than go back to the days of cooking and feeding horses!" Bai Xiuyun felt very aggrieved.

"As long as you are willing to keep us, we will follow you in the future!" Qian Zhixing also said so.

"Since you are willing to trust me, I will certainly not let you down." Zong Yanli reached out and patted Qian Zhixing on the shoulder, then looked at Bai Xiuyun with a smile.

The two were delighted and even more moved when they heard this.

In fact, on the way here, they got to know the other soldiers who came to join Zong Yanli. Most of them had some military merits, and some even wanted to come as captains like Zong Yanli.

Qian Zhixing and Bai Xiuyun really had no confidence. Firstly, they had just joined the army and had not made any achievements.

The second reason is that he is too young. Apart from having served in the same recruit camp as Zong Yanli, he has nothing to show for himself.

So in fact, Qian Zhixing and Bai Xiuyun thought that if Zong Yanli refused, they would not blame Zong Yanli, but only blame themselves for being incompetent.

But they didn't expect Zong Yanli to be willing to see them and even keep them!

"You two should follow Wen Nian." Zong Yanli turned around and called Wen Nian over, saying, "We are familiar with each other."

Qian Zhixing and Bai Xiujun were stunned when they heard this, and turned to look at Wen Nian, feeling somewhat embarrassed. They looked down on Wen Nian when they were in the recruit camp, but now Wen Nian has become an indispensable right-hand man of Zong Yanli.

"Hello, captain!" Qian Zhixing stood up and said to Wen Nian.

"Boss." Bai Xiuyun also stood up.

Wen Nian nodded and took the two people to settle down in the tent.

Afterwards, Zong Yanli selected some people from those lists and filled up the 50 people under his Xuanying team, and then reported it to Yang Liqun. It didn't take long for the approval to come down, along with a military order and military supplies.

When Zong Yanli was counting the military supplies, he found that Yang Liqun had distributed a lot of them, and he was thinking about how to arrange for them.

When he looked up, he saw Wang Kangcheng walking towards him. Zong Yanli blinked and was stunned.

How could Zong Yanli not know Wang Kangcheng, the coach of their recruit camp?

"Captain Zong Yan, this is the new Captain Wang." The soldier leading the way came forward and introduced.

"Captain Wang..." Zong Yanli's eyes flickered with a smile, but she also sighed in her heart. In her previous life, Wang Kangcheng was eventually transferred to Xuanying to become her captain, but he did not come so early, at least half a year late, which was after the war between Wu State and Nankang had completely gone to war.

The captain of Xuanying was killed in the battle, and Wang Kangcheng took his place.

I didn't expect Wang Kangcheng to be transferred here so early.

Wang Kangcheng also had some complicated and admiring feelings when he saw Zong Yanli. He walked up to Zong Yanli, nodded and said, "The general has ordered the Xuanying to return to Nankang to provide assistance."

"Although I have the rank of captain, you are the commander of the army this time, and I was specially asked to assist you." Wang Kangcheng said.

Zong Yanli understood immediately.

Zong Yanhongjing took into consideration that this was Zong Yanli's first time leading troops, and it might be difficult to act without someone's assistance. After much thought, he decided to put "one of his own" next to Zong Yanli without making it too obvious. Then he thought of Wang Kangcheng from the new recruits' camp.

Wang Kangcheng had been in the army for a long time, and he had offended someone when he was appointed as the coach of the new recruits camp.

It wasn't a big deal, but Wang Kangcheng refused to accept his mistake and didn't say a word even after being demoted for many years. That's why it took so long for Wang Kangcheng to be promoted again.

Now because of Zong Yanli's change, everything has changed. As someone who is familiar with Zong Yanli, Wang Kangcheng will naturally cooperate with him.
