Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

If Chu Yunfei were to say that the rapid growth of the Third Battalion under Cao Geng in such a short period of time had nothing to do with the Japanese devils' loss of magic weapons and spiritual materials in Huairong Immortal City, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.

If a team of monks wants to grow and develop, it cannot do without the nourishment of magic weapons and spiritual materials.

If they followed the traditional methods of the Eighth Route Army, it would be impossible for Cao Geng and others to obtain magical weapons and spiritual materials support from the headquarters like the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did.

As we all know, the units under the Eighth Route Army were impoverished and the headquarters was also short of money.

In order to strengthen its own team, no matter which team of the Eighth Route Army it is, it must rely on its own practice and accumulation to achieve it.

At first, the team led by Cao Geng consisted of only about two hundred monks.

However, precisely because of this, Chu Yunfei could not help but be amazed that Cao Geng's team could reach such a scale in just one month!

From the initial two hundred people to more than two thousand people, the gap is ten times!

All this took just over a month!

In Chu Yunfei's opinion, Cao Geng seemed to be cheating. If this person became an enemy, even if he was Chu Yunfei, he would have a headache and regard him as his number one rival.

Fortunately, Cao Geng is currently a friend rather than an enemy.

The main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was facing a grim situation. At a time when they were in urgent need of finding allies to fight against foreign enemies, it was naturally a good thing that Cao Geng's team was getting stronger.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but take a deep breath and said with emotion: "I originally planned to capture Huairong Immortal City occupied by the Japanese in the near future. It is obviously not enough to rely on the support of Cao Geng's Third Battalion alone. I didn't expect that Cao Geng's Third Battalion has grown so strong!"

"More than 2,000 monks!"

...

"With the help of this power, why should we be afraid of not being able to launch a decisive offensive against the ancient city of Huairong occupied by the evil Japanese?"

To tell the truth, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had attempted to capture the ancient city of Huairong several times before, but they just lacked the final push!

Now, if we can form an alliance with the troops led by Cao Geng, relying solely on Cao Geng's outstanding combat power and the strength of his third battalion, how can we not help the Jinsui Army capture the ancient city of Huairong and wipe out the evil Japanese defenders in one fell swoop? Not to mention that this matter is indeed possible when the enemy's reinforcements have not yet arrived.

Fang Ligong was also dry-mouthed. He had originally thought that he had a high opinion of Cao Geng, but when he stood in front of Cao Geng, he realized that his knowledge was still lacking. However, in the current situation where the Kuomintang and the Communist Party joined hands to fight against the Japanese, the stronger Cao Geng's strength was, the more beneficial it would be for their upcoming offensive against Huairong Ancient City.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong no longer hesitated, and the information that the 358th Regiment wanted to join forces with the 3rd Battalion of the New 1st Regiment was quickly transmitted back to the command post in Xiaweidi Village.

At this moment, Cao Geng was leading the main force to disperse and march towards the villages around Xiaweidi Village to wipe out the small Japanese pirates roaming around. As the battle line continued to advance, some of Cao Geng's troops had joined the rest of the team along the Zhengtai Railway.

At this moment, a message from the base command post came through the Lingtong Baojian that Cao Geng carried with him.

When Cao Geng first received the news, he was slightly surprised, thinking that something had happened at the base. When he learned that the truth was that Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, had something to ask for, Cao Geng was relieved. At that time, he and other soldiers were waiting for the assembly of the companies of the Third Battalion outside the Zhengtai Railway. With nothing to do, he asked the garrison of Weidi Village to convey his and Chu Yunfei's intentions.

When he learned the real intention of Chu Yunfei looking for him, even a calm person like Cao Geng could not help but be shocked: "The Jinsui Army needs the help of my Third Battalion to attack Huairong Ancient City?"

It turned out that in Cao Geng's eyes, the Jinsui Army was clearly in an advantageous position outside Huairong City, and if they wanted to launch an attack on the small Japanese pirates, they should be able to do so anytime and anywhere. However, according to Chu Yunfei, the Jinsui Army seemed to be in a stalemate at the moment, and the small Japanese pirates continued to transport strategic materials to the hinterland of northwest Shanxi. After learning this news, Chu Yunfei and Cao Geng also felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, Chu Yunfei hoped to launch an attack on Huairong Ancient City before the Japanese pirates took action first...

Cao Geng thought for a moment, and it was indeed as Chu Yunfei said, the current situation faced by the Jinsui Army was indeed worrying. Whether the small Japanese pirates used this batch of supplies to deal with the main force of the Jinsui Army in the future, or launched a comprehensive sweep in the entire northwest of Shanxi, the difficulties faced by the Jinsui Army would undoubtedly be far greater than that of the Eighth Route Army. At this time, if Cao Geng could lead the warriors of the third battalion to cooperate with the Jinsui Army and help Chu Yunfei capture the ancient city of Huairong...

Next, no matter whether those evil Japanese pirates launched a mop-up operation or prepared to launch an attack on the border of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, the elite troops of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army led by Chu Yunfei were indeed able to deal with the offensive of these foreign invaders with ease.

however.

There are no free opportunities in the world of cultivation.

Assisting Chu Yunfei in capturing Huairong Lingcheng was certainly a great benefit to the Jinsui Army, but for Cao Geng, it was undoubtedly a waste of his cultivation and luck.

Cao Geng would never do anything that would waste his own strength.

What's more, the Huairong Lingcheng that Chu Yunfei faced could not be easily conquered even by a powerful immortal brigade of the Jinsui Army and the top immortal groups under its command.

Although the Third Immortal Camp led by Cao Geng has more than 2,000 cultivators, it still seems insignificant in front of Chu Yunfei's strength.

How could Cao Geng be willing to help Chu Yunfei in battle for no reason?

Facing Chu Yunfei's proposal for cooperation, Cao Geng decisively ordered his subordinates to reply: "Since we are forming an alliance and working together, we naturally need to show enough sincerity."

If Chu Yunfei was stingy and unwilling to pay the price, Cao Geng would not even respond.

Chu Yunfei did not hesitate at all and responded directly: "If Brother Cao Geng can cooperate with the main force of our Jinsui Army to attack Lingcheng within three days, I, Chu Yunfei, will offer the training resources and military pay of three battalions of your army."

Chu Yunfei's magnanimity can be seen from this.

As long as Cao Geng can help the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army capture Huairong Lingcheng within three days, Chu Yunfei will give the military pay and training supplies for the three battalions under Cao Geng.

Upon hearing the news, Cao Geng's expression changed slightly.

Training supplies for three battalions?

Wouldn’t that be equivalent to the reserves of a complete immortal group?

You know, when Cao Geng and Chu Yunfei exchanged their bases, he only got two battalions' worth of training materials and military pay from Chu Yunfei.

Now, before Cao Geng could even open his mouth to propose any conditions, Chu Yunfei actually took the initiative to offer to donate military pay and training supplies for three battalions!

It is absolutely impossible to say that the conditions proposed by Chu Yunfei are not attractive to Cao Geng.

After all, although Cao Geng had abundant weapons and training materials in his hands, they were all obtained through his hard work and training.
