Chapter 131 No one can beat me if I don’t want to win

as the saying goes I can’t help but want to spend it.

The same goes for Chen An.

It was fine before, but now that he has more source power on hand, he can’t help but begin to stir.

After all, so much source power is enough for him to do a lot of things.

If nothing else, there is no pressure to elevate yourself to the astral qi Third Layer.

But after thinking for a moment, Chen An dismissed the tempting idea.

He’s not the kind of guy who likes to hang up.

Only by working hard and moving forward one step at a time can we reap the best and abundant fruits.

He doesn’t care about it.

Well, it’s actually stingy.

The source power on the body looks a lot, but in fact, if you don’t save a little money, it may not be enough.

The cultivation progress has gone up, should the martial skill be improved accordingly?

And then the movement method should also be improved by one or two?

In this way, he seems to have a lot of source power, but is it really enough?

Chen An is deeply skeptical.

So after thinking about it, let’s be honest.

Where you can do it yourself, obediently and honestly do it yourself.

You can save a little bit.

After all, this source power is not easy to come by.

“I still can’t let go.”

Chen An thought helplessly.

Through the crystal stone, although he has discovered a new way to obtain source power, there are still some problems.

The number of treasures is too small.

There is a limit to the amount of wool that can be found in each treasure.

Thinking of this, Chen An couldn’t help but start to miss the sinister world before.

No way.

Compared with the treasure land, although this method of energy replenishment is a bit troublesome, you not only need to do it yourself, but also go to various places to find traces of the sinister.

But at least it’s big.

It is more important than anything to highlight a large amount.

If this world also has such existence, Chen An’s troubles can be much less now.

I didn’t dare to say it when I rushed to Innate in one breath, but it would not be a problem to finish other things I wanted to do in one breath.

Probably.

Shoot the head secretly, Chen An got up silently, walked towards the outside world, and continued to start his own retreat Cultivation.

Because the wool is a bit too much, there is no place for Chen An to continue in the short term.

Unless there’s a whole new treasure out there.

But this is unlikely.

So Chen An can only be obediently and honestly Cultivation.

Fortunately, the vitality of the treasure land will slowly recover.

It will continue to grow just like wool is cut, and leeks will grow tenaciously after being cut, and the vitality concentration of treasure land is also dynamically changed.

As long as there is no crystal stone interfering in the dark, after a few years, the vitality of the surrounding will eventually recover slowly.

Only this time is not guaranteed.

Looking at the previous appearance, it may take at least ten years to return to the previous state?

Chen An thought.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Then Chen An ended the Cultivation of this time and returned to his mansion in Shengjing.

Few people know about his return to Shengjing.

In addition to Cheng Zheng, only a few friends such as Liu Chu knew about it.

Chen An didn’t want to be disturbed.

Now, his reputation is not the same as before.

The first battle with Song Dynasty Zhongyonghou Yang Zhong was finally exposed.

Chen An has also become another rising star in Great Hua. The astral qi expert on the top floor is also known as Great Hua’s first Heaven’s Chosen.

Of course.

Anyone who becomes astral qi at this age can basically become the first Heaven’s Chosen of Great Hua.

It’s the kind that no one grabs at all.

Ordinary people who want to be promoted to astral qi are estimated to be at least in their late thirties.

There are very few promotions within the age of 30, let alone Chen An.

In Shengjing, Chen An spent quite a leisurely day.

Living in the mansion, apart from accompanying Fourth Princess, he cultivated alone, silently improving his martial skill and Qi Cultivation Base.

Few people from the outside world knew about his return, most of them thought he was still retreating in Cultivation in the treasure land, and naturally no one would come to visit.

But leisurely days will never go on like this.

Just over half a year later, turmoil broke out in the south of Great Hua again.

In the South, the Song Dynasty army buckled and launched an attack in the name of King Tai Cheng Ming.

The three continents in the south are eroded and directly look down on the wind.

There was silence everywhere.

And at this time, the state of Lu in the north also made some moves, and it seemed that a large number of troops and horses were mobilized.

Look at this, it is also begin to stir, and it may be buckled at any time.

This is called misfortunes never come alone?

Faced with the current situation, the courtroom is already in chaos.

Even Cheng Zheng was a little flustered and confused.

But fortunately, he has been the emperor for three years, already has sufficient prestige, and has stabilized his basic position, not as weak as when he just ascended the throne.

Faced with such a situation, he decided to act decisively.

A large number of troops and horses were mobilized in the north to guard against the possible actions of the State of Lu.

Compared to the Song Dynasty in the south, the strength of the state of Lu is much weaker. I want to come to this time because I saw the actions of the Song Dynasty, so I started to stir, and it should not be difficult to resist.

It’s the Song Dynasty to the south, but it’s a huge trouble.

If you want to solve this trouble, the first step is to send someone to command the army.

There are different opinions on this candidate in the court, and there are people who choose what to do.

To everyone’s surprise, Cheng Zheng finally came to Duke Chen’s mansion, where he personally invited Duke Chen out to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Nanzheng this time.

For a while, there was a commotion in the courtroom.

“It’s rare to have leisure for half a year, didn’t expect to be pulled out by Your Majesty again in a blink of an eye.”

Before leaving, there was a drink in Imperial Palace.

Chen An sat cross-legged with Cheng Zheng in front of him, looking at each other with a wry smile.

To be honest, this was something he hadn’t thought about.

Although he is an astral qi, he has never been in the army in the past.

Then it fell on his head, making him dizzy.

However, he still understands why Cheng Zheng made such a choice.

“There is no way.”

Three years have passed, Cheng Zheng seems to be in good health, still healthy: “The commander of the army must be astral qi, if it is replaced with other People, I really don’t feel at ease.”

There is no one else in front of him, but he is honest and straightforward, saying: “I really can’t trust other people.”

The commander of an army must The cultivation base is profound, otherwise, on the one hand, it is easy to be killed by the enemy, and on the other hand, it will not be able to control the arrogant soldiers below.

You must know that the generals in this world all have a cultivation base.

If you send a person whose cultivation base is not as good as those of the generals to command the army in the past, all kinds of troubles will easily occur.

This has been proven many times in the past history of this world.

In normal times, Cheng Zhengpai still has a choice.

But this time came not only Song Dynasty, but also King Tai Cheng Ming.

King Tai was a famous king in the past.

At that time, including Duke Jian and Chen An’s grandfather, all directly supported him to become Crown Prince.

Now that he has brought the Song Dynasty army, if Cheng Zhengruo sends others over, God knows what the final result will be.

After all the calculations, the only one he can trust is actually Chen An.

“I don’t know how to fight.”

Chen An raised his glass and said with a smile.

“I know your ability, Chen An, why should you be humble?”

Cheng Zheng was laughed, but he didn’t care: “Besides, you are the commander and you set up camp, how about you? There are already people doing things like marching, so why do you need your commander in person?”

As a commander of an army, it is equivalent to being the leader of an army, and there are naturally professionals in all aspects to do it. Where is there any reason to be hands-on.

Just like being a Boss, do you need to know a lot of skills?

Not necessarily.

You just need to know how to employ people and how to assign people to suitable positions. There is no need to do everything yourself.

As for personnel, Chen An doesn’t have to worry about it at all.

For Chen An this time’s expedition, Cheng Zheng packed a large group of people under his command, many of whom were generals who fought all year round.

Chen An is in command of the army. If there is any need, just leave it to these people to do it.

“You said so, what else can I do.”

Chen An sighed, and finally nodded.

“Relax, when you actually get to the military camp, you will find that this is not as difficult as you think.”

Cheng Zheng laughed, and then continued: “Let me ask You, if you were in the south, what would you choose to do?”

“Set up camp, step by step, stretch the front, and then wait for the opportunity.”

Chen An looked at Cheng Zheng, With a face full of indifference, he said, “I only have this ability, Your Majesty, if you expect me to do it quickly and judge quickly, you should find another brilliant.”

“No, you don’t have to.”

Cheng Zheng waved his hand, very pleased nodded: “I’m very relieved if you have this attitude.”

While speaking, he put a few points into place. In front of Chen An, he motioned Chen An to open it.

Chen An looked at it suspiciously, then couldn’t help but be stunned.

Good guy.

Stop the rebellion in March and return to Beijing in May?

Why don’t you say go to the imperial capital of Song Dynasty?

Don’t say it, it’s true.

The second memorial is.

It’s just that one is more mad than another, and one is more exaggerated.

Chen An couldn’t help but look at Cheng Zheng, wondering where these wonderful people came from.

Do they know how many people Song Dynasty has?

“I see.”

Cheng Zheng couldn’t help but sighed then said, and said, “Compared with these people, Chang’an, you are already very reliable.”

It’s more than reliable.

Compared with these talents who are about to break Song Dynasty’s capital and destroy Song Dynasty at every turn, Chen An is an honest man.

“I don’t have much requirements, just keep it for me.”

Cheng Zheng patted Chen An’s shoulder and said with relief.

Chen An what else can I say, I can only choose nodded.

In this way, Chen An has another errand on his head, leading the army to counter the rebellion.

And then, another two years have passed.

It turns out that Chen An is an honest man.

Before leaving, Cheng Zheng thought that Chen An was just modest.

After all, Chen An used to say that he was not good enough to avoid errands and trouble.

I thought that this time Chen An would be the same, but on the surface it said no, but it would actually give him a big surprise.

Then the surprise really came.

It’s been two years.

Since Chen An arrived at the front line, he not only did not take a step forward, but because he disliked several nearby places that were not easy to defend, he directly abandoned the city and moved out all its population.

Typical hard walls and clear fields.

According to the opinions of a large number of experts, Chen An built a group of fortresses in various places suitable for defense, and then brought a large army, and settled down so safely.

In addition to sending a small group of people out to harass him from time to time, he has no action, and only focuses on internal strength.

“Chang’an, Your Majesty has sent someone to urge again.”

Inside the tent, Liu Chu looked at Chen An in front of him and asked with a strange face.

“What’s the urging?”

Chen An asked casually, with a face full of indifference.

“Naturally it’s urging us to fight.”

Liu Chu said helplessly: “It’s been two years, let alone us, even Your Majesty is getting impatient. .”

“What can I do if I’m impatient?”

Chen An raised his head and said with a smile: “I’m right here, Your Majesty, if you’re really impatient, you can let me Someone called me back.”

Cheng Zheng is also a person with a different appearance.

At the beginning, Chen An said that after he came to the front line, he would only focus on defense. He said yes and praised Chen An.

As a result, it has only been two years, and he can’t help it.

Seeing that there is no movement in Chen An here, since a year ago, Cheng Zheng couldn’t help but start urging, sending letters to Chen An from time to time, urging him to hurry up and stop delaying. .

And what about Chen An?

It is natural to be indifferent.

The march is the impossible march, the impossible march in this life.

After all, marching is risky, and accidentally it is easy to roll over.

As long as I can’t hold on, the enemy is impossible to defeat me.

For Chen An, he is not aiming to achieve the best possible result but rather trying to avoid making mistakes, and be prepared for the worst in advance.

If Cheng Zheng can’t stand it, he will be replaced at worst.

The average person may be afraid of this.

But for Chen An, change?

And this good thing?

He would love to be replaced.

Wouldn’t it be good to go back to the mansion and sleep with the sweet Fourth Princess?

As for eating steamed buns every day?

“But we’re like this, it’s not a solution after all”

Liu Chu said helplessly, “It’s been two years.”

“Brother Liu , this is your fault.”

Chen An looked back with surprise, looking at Liu Chu in front of him: “Didn’t you suggest me to do this?”

Liu Chu couldn’t help clenching his fists.

When they first arrived with Chen An, a group of Chen An’s exclusive military staff discussed for a long time, and finally gave Chen An three strategies of high, middle and low.

Standing is only the last resort.

And then absolutely didn’t expect, Chen An didn’t even look at the ingenious best strategy, and directly chose the most time-consuming bottom strategy.

Then a group of them started a fishing trip, sticking to it all day long.

A group of staff officers, including Liu Chu, have already regretted why they made this bad plan in the first place.

It’s just torture.

“This is the time and the other is the same time”

Liu Chu patiently persuaded: “Two years ago, we are new here, so it is a good choice to stick to it for the time being.”

“But now that we’ve been here for so long, it doesn’t seem necessary to continue like this.”

“Besides, I’m waiting here every day, and the Imperial Court will come with provisions. It’s not easy.”

“It’s not easy for us to transport food, isn’t it more difficult for us to be opposite?”

Chen An laughed: “I remember that for the convenience of food transportation, I could still put that How many places have you left them?”

It’s okay not to mention this, the corner of Liu Chu’s mouth twitched when he mentioned it.

This is what Chen An did before.

In order to make it easier to defend for a long time, he directly lost several counties that were not easy to defend and gave them to others, leaving only an empty city.

By the way, he also personally led people to reclaim all over the place, and directly set up military camps on the spot, trying to be self-sufficient.

Everyone who sees this is stunned.

Abandoning a county without the permission of the Imperial Court is a crime of abandonment.

It is taboo to set up a military camp without authorization and try to make the army self-sufficient.

It is rude to say that Chen An did almost everything that ordinary generals would not dare to do.

How dare ordinary people do this?

I am afraid that I will be beaten back to the prototype soon, and I will be slapped to the end.

But Chen An has done it so many times and still nothing.

“The nearby terrain is very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can also camp on the spot, and there are aids sent by Your Majesty to support.”

Chen An said with a smile: “But the people from Song Dynasty came all the way, but it’s not that easy. Every time a truckload of food arrives, I don’t know how much it will cost.”

“Before Song Dynasty, there were 300,000 People, and now even 200,000 people don’t know if they exist or not, and they are scattered everywhere, which is the proof.”

For Chen An, the current situation is actually burning money. longer and more able to maintain combat effectiveness.

And Song Dynasty’s army comes from afar, and its maintenance cost is higher than Chen An anyway.

So the longer it takes, the better in theory.

Of course, Song Dynasty can also start military camps on the spot like Chen An, and migrate people to come.

But this is not to mention the cost in advance, even if it really succeeds, there will still be enemy troops.

Chen An just maintained the main defense, and did not say that he would not attack at all.

A force of cavalry attacked and swept the grassy valleys around, which was okay.

There is no strong enough military fortress to rely on, and it is impossible to want a military fortress.

“The enemy army is getting weaker and weaker, which is not bad.”

Liu Chu helplessly said: “But now two years have passed, the Song Dynasty army is already exhausted, in my opinion it is It’s time to strike.”

“Our army has 400,000 people, and we have been rearing our army for a long time, and we are training every day. The enemy army has only 200,000 people left, scattered everywhere and exhausted.”

“I have the advantage!”

“What did you just say?”

Chen An suddenly turned around and his eyes fell on Liu Chu.

Liu Chu couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, a little unclear why: “My subordinates said 400,000 to 200,000, the advantage is mine.”

“Well said.”

Chen An slapped his thigh and immediately smiled: “Give me the order, and guard everywhere.”

“We have to prepare to guard him for ten years!”

” Ten years”

Liu Chu’s eyes widened, completely stunned.

It made him even more confused.

The next day, news came from all over the place, Duke Liu and Liu Chu admonished Duke Chen, saying that the current situation is very good, and there is cheers everywhere.
