"Not bad, not bad. Judging from your energy and spirit, you have not slacked off in your cultivation in recent years!"

In Jia Huan's handsome tent, brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong sat across from each other, with a small table separated in the middle. There were several plates of cold dishes and drinks on the small table.

Jia Huan has not drank much since time travel and rebirth.

That is to say, he would only drink a little bit when attending family banquets during the Chinese New Year, attending side banquets, and certain occasions where he had to drink. Normally, he would basically never drink at all.

I usually drink either tea or boiled water. Of course, I also try out some fruit drinks and the like made by myself or my subordinates, so I don’t have any excessive demands.

Drinking will cause trouble, this is not a joke!

Perhaps due to his influence, those who are close to Jia Huan or who are motivated generally don't drink much.

Jia Cong was greatly affected and naturally had no interest in drinks.

He even made it clear that he never drank, and it had already spread among the general circles in the capital.

Some envious people secretly joked about this matter to Jia Cong.

There are a lot of nonsense saying that he is a martial artist who doesn't drink, so he is considered a good man.

But no matter what the outside world said, Jia Cong still went his own way and was not affected.

There is also an advantage to not drinking. You can speak and do things very quickly without so many hidden twists and turns.

Now in the army, brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong set an example, and no one dares to offend easily.

"Hey, you don't need to remind me, I know that my foundation is this martial arts!"

Jia Cong chuckled and said proudly: "Besides, I am also very interested in practicing martial arts. I don't think exercising every day is a chore. I even enjoy it!"

As he spoke, his body straightened up and his muscles and bones began to squirm, making a clicking sound.

A powerful and fierce momentum roared from the tall and strong body.

It can only be said that it is a good thing that this is a world of low martial arts, otherwise Jia Cong's powerful hand would have caused a huge commotion, causing a strong wind to roar and blowing Jia Huan's eyes.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that your brat has reached the point where your muscles and bones are in full swing!"

Jia Huan had a smile in his eyes and said teasingly: "How is it? Do you feel very powerful?"

"It does feel like that!"

Jia Cong smiled and did not deny it, and said leisurely: "At least none of my generals can be my opponent!"

"Of the gangsters and brutal bandits I encountered, not many of them were really capable of fighting!"

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, and said helplessly: "If I hadn't seen Brother Huan's strength and knew that I was no match at this time, I would have been in a state of disbelief!"

"Really, the feeling of being invincible and having no rivals in the world is so wonderful. Fortunately, I know that this is just some kind of fantasy!"

"Don't underestimate yourself!"

Jia Huan looked at Jia Cong carefully for a while, then chuckled and said: "With your body and strength at this time, in terms of martial arts alone, you will definitely not be weaker than the two ancestors, and may even have surpassed them!"

"No way!"

Jia Cong obviously didn't believe it: "The two ancestors are both rare and powerful generals in the army. These are all recorded in historical materials and cannot be faked!"

"Then the historical materials describe the powerful martial arts of the two ancestors, can you do it?"

"That's no problem. My training these years is not a joke!"

"Then it's over!"

Jia Huan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "When we get deep into the hinterland of the southwest, we brothers will have the opportunity to perform well. Show off your martial arts to your heart's content!"

At this time, Jia Cong was about 1.95 meters tall, and his muscles were swollen, which showed that he was powerful. This was a condition that would only occur after his body had been trained to a certain extent.

Of course, Jia Cong practices Qi and Blood Martial Arts, and after practicing to a high level, his physical performance is not as obvious as it is now, as if he is afraid that others will not know how powerful he is.

For example, Jia Huan is relatively 'normal'. He is almost 1.9 meters tall, but there are no muscles on his body that are so swollen that they are about to burst. This is because of different training methods and different efficiencies.

Hearing this, Jia Cong's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Is it possible that the army sent by Qianxiang Kingdom is powerful? I would be happy to join him for a while!"

"I haven't even seen it myself!"

Jia Huan said angrily: "It's just that given the complicated environment here in the southwest, I understand that this matter is not so easy to solve. I might have to climb mountains and ridges all day long!"

"If your body is not strong enough, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand such high-intensity torture!"

"I'm not afraid of this, as long as I get used to the environment here!"

Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that the Duke of Nan'an was suddenly defeated, and the defeat was very complete. I was shocked at the time. I thought that the Qianxiang Kingdom's army was very powerful, and there must be many masters in it!"

"Otherwise, how could it be possible to defeat the 100,000-strong Southwest Army in one battle?"

"Do you really think that the 100,000 troops under the command of Prince Nan'an are just paper?"

"Haha, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!"

Jia Huan smiled lightly and said: "The 100,000-strong army under the command of Prince Nan'an probably lost not to the Qianxiang Kingdom's army, but to the weather and harsh environment of the Qianxiang Kingdom!"

"yes!"

Jia Cong sighed: "I arrived in the southwest region ahead of schedule and was not in a hurry to rush to the border!"

"While letting the brothers rest, I carefully inquired about the battle. Just as you said, Brother Huan, the army under the command of Prince Nan'an was defeated by the weather of Qianxiang Kingdom!"

"However, I also heard that the battles in the mountains and forests in the southwest are very different from the battles on the plains that we are familiar with, and the dangers are also quite alarming!"

"There are also miasma snakes and insects, and all kinds of weird poisonous weeds and poisons are hard to guard against!"

"My brothers are coming here. The most important thing is to get familiar with the environment here and avoid being acclimatized. That's a very important thing!"

"Then have you found a solution?"

Jia Huan asked directly: "Tell me about it, I'll help you with the details. If one person is short and two people are wrong!"

I was very satisfied. Jia Cong had grown into a qualified general. At least what he said made sense. It was indeed the most troublesome place in the southwest.

Being able to clearly see these and find ways to avoid or solve them is a distinctive feature of a mature general or a famous general.

Obviously, Jia Cong is already on the right path, and he has not been blown away by the continuous good words around him because of his previous victories.

“There’s not much you can do!”

Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said: "If you are not familiar with the place, the best way is to find local snakes and get help from the local government office. At least you must have a reliable guide and pharmacist to follow you!"

"What do you mean, the local government won't cooperate?"

Jia Huan frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Tell me!"

"What happened to you may also happen to me. Don't hide anything. This is not the time to care about face. It is about the life safety of my brothers and the future battle plan. It cannot be ignored!"

"The local government offices have a positive attitude, but their energy is limited!"

Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said: "The so-called 'imperial power does not extend to the county' situation is particularly serious here!"

"The local government offices and even the county seat cannot fully control it. They have to join forces with the local powerful in the city to completely control the situation in the county seat!"

"Out of the county, except for the villages within five miles of the county, the rest of the place has been carved up by local powerful and other forces, and the government offices are not easy to use!"

"However, the local government can't recruit hunters and herb collectors who have the ability to freely move in and out of the mountains and forests and are very familiar with the surrounding environment, or mountain people from the Tusi tribe!"

"Brother Huan, you also know that I led the troops to eliminate bandits and bandits all the way here, and it is no exception when I get here. There are too many powerful people who have been offended!"

Speaking of this, Jia Cong couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "The local powerful people are unwilling to cooperate. I can't just come and arrest people. I don't know who is suitable, right?"

"If not, I have already taken people to the southwest hinterland, how could I still stay here?"

He has a very clear positioning of himself, which is to serve as a pioneer under Jia Huan.

The function is very simple, it is to help explore the way forward and clear all the marching roads, so as to save Jia Huan's troops from spending unnecessary time on the road.

It's just a pity that the local powerful people don't cooperate, and he feels helpless!

Of course, it would be impossible for him to bow to the local powerful and compromise.

At this time, his heart was boiling with murderous intent. As long as he waited for Jia Huan's support, he would launch an iron-blooded cleanup against local powerful people. Do you really think he was a good gentleman?

Anyway, the situation here in the southwest is chaotic. Even if the local powerful people are wiped out by his leadership, there will be no room for reasoning.

In Jia Cong's view, some people just can't understand the situation and always take the rules from peacetime and apply them to chaotic situations. Is it appropriate?

Do you know what the terrible consequences will be if the knife handle gets angry?

After listening to Jia Cong's story, there was nothing unusual about Jia Huan's face, as if he didn't take Jia Cong's worries to heart at all, which was indeed the case.

When Jia Cong finished speaking, he even clearly felt the unconcealable murderous aura in this guy's tone when he mentioned the local power, and he couldn't help but smile softly.

"Isn't there already a rout after the collapse of the Southwest Army? I never thought that gathering them together and retraining them would still be of great use. At least they are very familiar with the Southwest!"

Just a casual sentence made Jia Cong feel enlightened and regretful.

He slapped his thigh fiercely and said depressedly: "Why did I ignore these guys?"

Having said this, he smiled bitterly at Jia Huan and said, "Brother Huan, I was wrong!"

"Before, I looked down on these defeated troops in my heart. I thought they were embarrassing, had lost their courage and were useless. I didn't expect that they could still play a big role!"

"The other one is also worried that gathering the defeated troops will affect the morale of his brothers. This is not just nonsense. Such a problem really exists!"

"I understand, I still understand this point!"

Jia Huan laughed out loud and waved: "There's no need to be like this. Who among us brothers is following whom? One thing to note in the future is that it's best to make full use of all available resources!"

Jia Cong nodded repeatedly to express his understanding. He was indeed lacking in this aspect!
