Late Yuan Dynasty: I am the true emperor

Chapter 91 I can lead soldiers! (Subscribe)
Lu Jin was not afraid that Li Pusheng would rebel or become a spy.

Because a spy must first hide his identity. What value does a spy have if his identity is exposed? If he really still has contact with Peng Yingyu, Lu Jin can use Li Pusheng, an open channel, to pass false information to Peng Yingyu.

So there's really nothing to be afraid of.

If Li Pusheng is truly willing to surrender, there is no need to be on guard against him everywhere. We just need to transfer him to the northwest, away from Xu Shouhui in the south.

There must be many characters with complicated backgrounds in a force. It’s not a big deal if they have complicated backgrounds, it just depends on whether you know how to use them and whether you dare to use them.

After Liao Yongan left, Lu Jin came to Zhu Liangzu and the others. Before Lu Jin could say anything, Zhu Liangzu started to complain.

"The commander-in-chief arranged this time unfairly. He promised to entrust me with an important task and asked me to provide assistance in many ways in Hanshan, but in the end, I didn't even get to fight. They finished the battle, causing my Fifth Regiment to eat dry food in the mountains for several days with nothing to do, and I didn't get any credit."

"Hehe." Lu Jin said with a wry smile.

"I place your Fifth Regiment in Hanshan because I value your fighting ability. If there is an accident in other directions, I can also dispatch you to provide assistance. In this way, I can remain invincible. At worst, we can even draw. Don't you think this is an important task?
"You didn't get to fight, which means the war is going well for all parties. Isn't that good? Do you have to wait for some accidents to make you happy?

"How dare you complain to me? What do you want?"

Seeing that Lu Jin seemed a little angry, Zhu Liangzu immediately became timid and tried to please him in a depressed manner.

"Hehe, the commander-in-chief is wise and brave, and his wisdom and strategies are extraordinary. It is with such meticulous planning that he can win battle after battle. What can I think? Just, just, just, can you give this important task to someone else next time? I also want to fight against each other with real swords and guns, and charge into battle!"

Lu Jin glanced at him and cursed, "You are so useless. Just wait, you will soon be on the front line."

"Are you serious? That's great, thank you very much for your support!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Liangzu hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

Then Lu Jin saw Chang Yuchun and Lan Rong whom he brought with him, because Chang Yuchun had been looking at Lu Jin just now, which made Lu Jin notice his gaze.

Chang Yuchun was secretly surprised. He was 185cm tall and thought he was very tall, but Lu Jin seemed to be a little taller than him. He was also very sturdy and strong, with broad shoulders, but not bloated. He looked like a strong fighter, at least he looked good.

He has the physique of a fierce general, but his face looks like a pale scholar. If he had a thin body with this face, he would look "weak", but with Lu Jin's body, he immediately becomes heroic, with a pair of eyes that are bright and seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

This look, this figure, is simply amazing!
"Who is this? Did you bring him here?"

Lu Jin looked at Zhu Liangzu in confusion, and Zhu Liangzu immediately explained.

"General, when I first came here, I found these two hiding in a tree beside the official road, sneaking around and spying on the battlefield. I asked them where they came from, but one of them said he was seeking refuge with you, and the other claimed to be an honest woodcutter who was just passing by.

"If their statements don't even match, isn't that suspicious? I suspected they were spies, but they denied it flatly and insisted they were coming to join the Marshal. That's why I brought them here, and I ask the Marshal to make the decision himself."

"Oh?" Lu Jin became interested. On the first day of the time travel, he also hid in the tree and peeked. He didn't expect that there were others who followed his example. He immediately asked the tall man who was staring at him.

"Who are you? What's your name? Are you planning to come to me?"

"My name is Chang Yuchun, with the courtesy name Boren. I am from Huaiyuan, Anfeng Road. I have heard that the commander of Lu is well-known for his benevolence and righteousness. His troops are strictly disciplined and never harm the people. I am happy with him and think he is a wise leader, so I have come to join him."

"puff"

When Lu Jin heard him introduce himself, he couldn't hold back his excitement. It turned out that this was the famous Chang Yuchun. He looked like a young man. Apart from being tall, strong and having an oval face, there was nothing special about him.

It seems that most people in Huaixi have rounder faces.

Chang Yuchun was surprised by Lu Jin's reaction and asked with a frown.

"Why are you laughing, Marshal? But what did I say wrong?"

"Ahem." Lu Jin immediately tried to restore his image as a 'wise leader'. Damn it, he lost control and accidentally lost his composure.

He immediately laughed.

"Hahahaha, you can't even lie. I'm a rebel from Luzhou, but my name has spread to Huaiyuan? Huaiyuan should be closer to Liu Futong, so why did you go to the far south and come to me? Don't you think your words are full of loopholes?"

Chang Yuchun suddenly realized that it was Lu Jin who suspected his identity, so he immediately explained.

"You may not know, Marshal, that although I am from Huaiyuan, I left my hometown a few years ago and went around to learn martial arts. I happened to be near Heyang recently, and I encountered the decisive battle between the Marshal and the envoy, so I came here specially to surrender."

"Oh?" Lu Jin nodded. "You're going around learning martial arts from others? Then what are you capable of? I don't want to keep idle people here."

Chang Yuchun said immediately, "I am very strong, I can use a three-stone bow, I can use any weapon, I am also an excellent rider, and I have read military books. I can lead the army for the commander-in-chief, attack cities and capture strongholds, and I will never eat for nothing!"

"laugh--"

Before Lu Jin could say anything, Zhu Liangzu beside him sneered, "You are so arrogant. You can use a three-stone bow and any other weapon. If you could just pick one or two, I would believe you. You also think you are proficient in all eighteen martial arts. You really think you are a big shot."

Lu Jin also nodded and said, "Did you hear that? My subordinates are not convinced. I also hate people who only talk big."

Chang Yuchun was immediately dissatisfied and said, "I'm not bragging. If you don't believe me, just try me." "Okay, this is what you said, do you dare to wrestle with me?" Lu Jin asked immediately.

Chang Yuchun was stunned. He didn't expect that the great commander Lu Jin would actually come out to test him personally. However, after looking at Lu Jin's physique, he nodded. It seemed that Lu Jin should be very strong. He had to be more restrained and not hurt Lu Jin.

So he asked, "Why not? I wonder how the commander-in-chief will wrestle?"

"Arm wrestling!"

Lu Jin immediately took a step forward, stood sideways, bent his waist, and stretched out his right hand. Chang Yuchun was not a fussy person, so without saying a word, he also stepped forward to stand opposite Lu Jin and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Lu Jin.

The two of them didn't even look for a platform, but just arm wrestled in the air. This method tested the strength of the whole body more.

Chang Yuchun wanted to hold back at first, fearing that he might hurt Lu Jin. But after exerting some strength, he found that Lu Jin didn't move at all. Lu Jin immediately asked, "Didn't you have dinner? You're still shooting three-stone bows like this? Do you want me to treat you to a meal first?"

Chang Yuchun blushed when he heard this, and immediately said, "Be careful, Marshal!"

Then Lu Jin suddenly felt a huge force coming from his hands, and he quickly used all his strength to resist. The two men gritted their teeth, their faces turned red, and their clasped hands were squeezed blue and bloodless, but still neither of them could do anything to the other.

Chang Yuchun was shocked. He saw that Lu Jin had a burly build and looked very strong, so he thought he must have some strength. But then he saw that Lu Jin had a pale complexion, so he thought he probably didn't exercise regularly. He didn't expect that he was so strong!
Lu Jin is in a similar situation. He has never used his full strength since he traveled through time. He only knows that his strength should have increased after traveling through time, but he has never tried to what extent. There are also few people who can withstand his full-strength attack. Chang Yuchun is a good character for him to practice with.

At that moment, Lu Jin added a little more strength, and this time, Chang Yuchun could not bear it anymore. He watched Lu Jin's hands slowly push him down, and Chang Yuchun couldn't pull him back even if he tried his best.

"Okay, that's enough. You are really strong. It's amazing that you can hold out against me for so long." Lu Jin was suddenly filled with a sense of satisfaction of showing off. It felt so good to win a game against Chang Yuchun.

Chang Yuchun also let go of his hand. His right hand was still trembling slightly. Seeing that Lu Jin was fine, he immediately said in admiration, "The Marshal is really powerful!"

Lu Jin shook his head and said modestly, "You should be younger than me. If you are a few years older, a person's strength will peak when he is twenty-five or twenty-six years old. In a few years, you will definitely be stronger."

Chang Yuchun nodded in admiration and asked, "Does the Marshal want to try anything else?"

"Let's not try. With such great strength, it will be no problem for him to shoot a strong bow. As for weapons? Even if he hits people with an iron rod, he can kill them all. What's the point of trying?"

Lu Jin waved his hand nonchalantly and immediately asked, "You said you were near Heyang recently. Are you learning skills from someone? Or do you have any other business?"

Chang Yuchun was ashamed when he heard this, "I'm ashamed. To be honest, I was born in a poor peasant family. I don't want to die in the fields, so I went around to learn martial arts. However, the cost of learning martial arts is quite high, and I can't afford it. So I had to go to the bandit Liu Ju and rob people for a living.

"But I learned martial arts, not just to become a bandit.
"Now the world is in chaos, the Yuan Dynasty is about to end, and people of insight are rising up against the Yuan Dynasty. I have also tried to persuade Liu Ju to rise up against the Yuan Dynasty, but he is short-sighted and has no ambition. He just squandered the money he robbed. I don't want to waste time with him any more, so I decided to join the rebel army.

"The Marshal is the closest to this place, and his kindness and righteousness are well known, so I came here specially to seek refuge, hoping that the Marshal will take me in.

"If you don't give up, I am willing to die for you, the commander-in-chief. I will be the first to conquer the city and lead the king. I will never frown."

Chang Yuchun immediately knelt on one knee and clasped his fists in pledge of allegiance.

Lu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up. "You have a long-term vision and great ambition. Get up. Since you are sincere and honest, I will accept you. You said you have read the Art of War and are willing to serve as my general. How many troops do you lead?"

Chang Yuchun immediately said, "I can command 100,000 soldiers!"

"Tsk—" This time, without waiting for Lu Jin to speak, Zhu Liangzu couldn't hold it in anymore.

"You are so arrogant. The Marshal accepted you because you were sincere. You don't know how to be careful with your words and actions. You keep talking nonsense. You can't beat the Marshal in strength. It's because the Marshal is magnanimous that he didn't blame you. Now the Marshal asked you how many soldiers you have, and you said 100,000.

"Do you know how many soldiers our Shengwu Army has? You've just arrived and you want to lead 100,000 soldiers. How about letting you do it?!"

Chang Yuchun listened without saying anything. Zhu Liangzu was not his lord. He had defected to Lu Jin. It was not certain who would have a higher position in the future.

"Hahahaha." Lu Jin laughed when he heard that.

"You heard me, right? You said you were going to command 100,000 soldiers. The other generals would not agree. Besides, I don't have that many soldiers to give you.

"You are a newcomer, you have not achieved any merit, and you have no troops. If you are promoted to a high position so suddenly, others will not accept it. Since you have some talent, would you be willing to serve as a thousand households first? When you have made military achievements, I will definitely promote you.

"As for when you can lead 100,000 soldiers, it depends on how capable you are."

Chang Yuchun bowed and said, "Yes, I am worthy of being a captain. Next time I go into battle, I will be your vanguard and capture the city and stronghold. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"You're talking nonsense. It's not your turn to be the vanguard. It should be my turn according to the seating arrangement."

When Zhu Liangzu heard that Chang Yuchun was trying to steal the credit from him, he immediately cursed him, then turned around and looked at Lu Jin with a resentful look.

"Marshal, you just promised me that you would let me lead the attack next time. I don't want to be the last person who is entrusted with an important task but has no battle to fight."
