I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Inside the Minjiang Pass, Lin Fan has not had an idle time these days, because he still has to continue training new recruits.

As the supreme commander of this army, Lin Fan always does many things personally. It is precisely because of this that his subordinates recognize him so much and are willing to lose their lives for him.

After these recruits joined Lin Fan's army, Lin Fan also treated them very well.

Lin Fan gave them a day off, gave them some money, and asked them to take care of some family matters.

Of course, there were still veterans following during this process, because Lin Fan was afraid that they would run away with the money. For such deserters, Linfen would naturally make an example of them.

Among them, there were actually a few people who planned to run away with the money, and they were all caught by Lin Fan. Among them, several were homeless, and they were beheaded in the street by Lin Fan. The remaining one had a mother at home who needed to be taken care of, so Lin Fan finally showed mercy and secretly released him.

Of course, this matter was done in an extremely secretive manner, and few people knew that Lin Fan had released the person.

After Lin Fan did all this, his prestige in the army reached a peak again. When people mentioned Lin Fan, no matter whether they were veterans or recruits in the army, they all gave him a thumbs up.

The people in the city also praised Lin Fan because Lin Fan dealt with the corrupt officials in the city, opened the granaries to release grain, and even distributed land to the people.

The people have gained tangible benefits, so they are all very happy and feel that their good days are finally coming.

The Iron Hat King's messenger also came to Lin Fan's side. Following the Iron Hat King's messenger came several people sent by Lin Fan to the Iron Hat King. Since the Iron Hat King did not need to disguise himself now, they naturally did not want to stay there.

After Lin Fan learned the news that the Iron Hat King had retreated back to Jiefeng City, he just frowned and didn't say much.

"My lord, what should we do now? Should we swear to take the next city, or what else are we planning to do?" Chu Hu asked impatiently.

Lin Fan shook his head and said to them, "There is only one thing we need to do now, and that is to defend Minjiang Pass."

"Ah? My Lord, haven't we already taken over Minjiang Pass? Is there anyone who would come to rob it?" Chu Hu asked in confusion.

Zhang Guangzhi came over and said, "In a sense, Minjiang Pass is much more important than the other cities, so they will definitely not leave it alone. If I am not mistaken, Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi are planning to take back Minjiang Pass."

Lin Fan nodded and said in agreement, "Mr. Guangzhi really understands me. I think so too. I guess Huangfu Qi and Huangfu Pengwu will definitely not let us take Minjiang Pass. They will definitely attack us. Maybe they are on their way now."

No one cared, because in their opinion, Huangfu Qi and Huangfu Pengwu had been defeated twice by their lord. Even if they tried again, the result would only be failure. In that case, what else did they have to worry about?

Lin Fan looked at the expressions of his men and knew that they underestimated the enemy. Lin Fan said very seriously: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Although Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi were both defeated by us, we won by luck every time. Every time we fight them from now on, it will be more difficult. If we treat them with this attitude, we will definitely suffer a great loss in the future."

After Lin Fan finished speaking, he didn't know how many people had heard his words.

But Lin Fan could only say this, Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi were indeed two powerful enemies.

Take the Battle of Minjiang Pass for example. If the people had not revolted at the critical moment, it would be another matter whether Lin Fan could have captured Minjiang Pass.

Therefore, this time the capture of Minjiang Pass was a complete surprise. Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi will definitely be more cautious in the future, and at that time, the battle will be difficult to fight.

"Okay, now that I've said it, no one is allowed to underestimate the enemy, otherwise they will be subject to military law." Lin Fan said coldly.

"Yes!" everyone nodded.

"Let's train the troops now and improve the combat effectiveness of the new recruits as soon as possible. If we can defeat Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi this time, we can also take over Sanguan County." Lin Fan said.

Everyone nodded and then went about their duties.

Lin Fan and Zhang Guangzhi were the only ones left. Lin Fan looked at Zhang Guangzhi and asked, "Mr. Guangzhi, do you think we can win this time?"

Zhang Guangzhi had no expression on his face. He said to Lin Fan, "Whether we can win this time depends not on me but on the Marquis."

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Zhang Guangzhi meant.

If Lin Fan himself has no confidence, then he will definitely fail this time.

"Mr. Guangzhi is right. I have been overthinking it." Lin Fan said with a smile.

Zhang Guangzhi saw that Lin Fan had adjusted himself, nodded, and said nothing more.

After Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi arrived in Sanguan County, they immediately gathered all the troops outside the city.

Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi looked cold, like two angry King Kongs.

"I believe you all know who I am, so I won't say much. I know that some of you have lost the battle, but now there is a chance to start over. Are you willing to follow me?" Huangfu Pengwu asked loudly.

"Yes, yes!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the loudest shouts came naturally from those who were defeated at Minjiang Pass.

They wanted to wash away the shame on themselves all the time and fight with Lin Fan and others again all the time.

"In that case, I, Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi, will lead you back to Minjiang Pass. Do you have the confidence to recapture Minjiang Pass?" Huangfu Pengwu said loudly.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The soldiers shouted again.

Huangfu Pengwu nodded with great satisfaction, and he chose not to say anything else.

Because of Huangfu Pengwu's bravery, sometimes he didn't need to say much. As long as he stood in front of these soldiers, he was the greatest encouragement to them.

It was the same at this moment, but Huangfu Pengwu only said a few simple words in order to boost morale again.

Huangfu Qi saw that Huangfu Pengwu had finished speaking, so he walked to the front of the team and said loudly: "Now the whole army will attack and we must take Minjiang Pass!"

"kill!"

All the soldiers of Sanguan County came out in full force. This time, they not only wanted to recapture Minjiang Pass, but if possible, they also wanted to use this opportunity to recapture all the previous cities.

They even thought about driving Lin Fan and others out of the State of Chu, or even counterattacking Daliang and incorporating Daliang's land into the territory of Chu.
