Chapter 54 A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier
In fact, Chu Zhao had already withdrawn half of his power when Gu Xi left the field. He admired this opponent and he couldn't bear to see him suffer a serious injury.
Now that he had no target to attack, he withdrew his palm and was able to do so freely.
This thrilling battle finally ended, and thunderous applause rang out all around.
Chu Zhao jumped to the stage, helped Gu Xi up, and said:
"You are very good."
In the past two years, he has never seen such a powerful opponent in the military camp.
He enjoyed the fight to his heart's content, and at the same time he developed a sense of sympathy for the dark-faced young man.
Gu Xi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Thank you, Major General, for showing mercy."
At this moment, she no longer dared to underestimate Chu Zhao.
Gu Xi felt that even if her fighting skills were upgraded to level four, she might not necessarily win.
At this moment, Chu Shiting was looking at the two of them with satisfaction.
This kid named Qi Dasheng is very powerful. As long as he is not an enemy spy, he may become a general in time.
After everyone had dispersed, Gu Xi checked the system. Although she had lost this time, her reputation points had increased a lot, and now she had a balance of 833.
After all, being able to challenge a major general is enough to gain the admiration of many people.
Alas, what a pity! If she had won, she would probably have made ten times the money.
Gu Xi began to think about how to be promoted to a captain of a thousand men.
But Chu Zhao insisted on taking him back to his tent.
As soon as they arrived, Chu Zhao asked:
"What is your relationship with Gu Xi?"
He wanted to catch the other party off guard in this way, and then see the other party's reaction, maybe he could get some clues.
Gu Xi had already come up with a solution to this problem, and he said calmly:
"Major General, are you talking about General Gu's granddaughter, Gu Xi? She is my cousin. I am the nephew of her mother, Qi."
It turns out they are cousins. No wonder their eyes look so similar.
However, he still winked at Wu Dajiang next to him, asking him to go into the city as soon as possible to verify.
Chu Zhao asked Gu Xi about his background again, and Gu Xi naturally told him the story he had prepared long ago. Chu Zhao didn't find any flaws, so he let Gu Xi go back.
Gu Xi returned to his tent, and the tense feeling in his heart finally eased.
She didn't expect that Chu Zhao, this kid, had such a sharp eye. She had only met him twice, and now she had pretended to be so that even her own mother wouldn't recognize him, but he could still connect Qi Dasheng and Gu Xi together.
In the evening, Wu Dajiang came back after getting the news. Chu Zhao happened to be in Chu Shiting's tent, so he reported to both of them at the same time.
"I went to the general's mansion and asked the madam to come forward and take me to Qi's home. The madam mentioned Qi Dasheng to Qi, and what Qi said was exactly the same as what Qi Dasheng said. Qi Dasheng is Qi's distant nephew."
The Chu family's father and son had absolute trust in Qi, because she was the widow of General Gu and came from a prominent family. She was also a close friend of Madam Ren.
Chu Shiting laughed:
"It seems that my Northwest Army will have another powerful general. Go and call that guy over. I have something to ask him."
Wu Dajiang took the order and left.
Chu Zhao followed him out and quietly asked Wu Dajiang:
"Did you see the eldest daughter of the Gu family when you went there?"
Wu Dajiang shook his head: "I haven't seen her. I heard from Qi that Miss Gu seems to be doing business."
Although among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest in status, the women and children of the Gu family are now exiled prisoners, so they must have some means of survival.
Chu Zhao does not look down on Gu Xi because of this, but only admires her ability and responsibility.
But the secrets surrounding her always made Chu Zhao feel like he was being scratched by a cat.
Maybe he could talk to her cousin Qi Dasheng.
Gu Xi was invited to the general's tent, and Chu Shiting asked:
"Qi boy, I have seen your skills today. You are very good at capturing enemies and protecting yourself, but you are not strong enough in killing enemies. But it doesn't matter. You have not been on the battlefield yet. Once you have experienced the battlefield, you will naturally have the spirit of killing. I wonder if you are willing to come to my side and be my personal guard?"
It is a great honor to be able to serve as a personal guard beside the general. Although your position may still be that of a colonel, as long as you can gain the general's favor, promotion is a matter of time.
Even Wu Dajiang showed an envious look.
Gu Xi said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"General, I have just arrived at the military camp and I don't know anything. Right now I just want to be with the soldiers. I have also figured out a method of training soldiers, but I haven't implemented it yet. I heard that as long as you can beat the captain of a thousand men in military tactics, you can be promoted to a captain of a thousand men. As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. I want to give it a try."
Actually, she didn't want to stay by the general's side. After all, she had so many plug-ins. If she was always tied to the general, she would be exposed sooner or later.
Chu Shiting's eyes flashed with praise.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier! This general will give you this opportunity."
Chu Zhao, who was standing by, was also aroused and immediately said:
"Father, please let me compete with Captain Qi."
Chu Shiting was also willing to train his son, so he said with a stern face:
"Okay, don't lose and embarrass me."
Chu Zhao was used to being beaten by his father, so he didn't care about his cold face. He turned around and said to Gu Xi:
"Captain Qi, we will each lead a team of soldiers and train them for half a month. How about we have a competition in the parade ground after half a month?"
Gu Xi nodded in agreement.
Chu Zhao said again:
"You just arrived and are not familiar with the military camp. I won't take advantage of you. You can choose someone first."
Gu Xi said, "I am not familiar with the military camp anyway, so I will just take the 100 men under my command. You can choose whoever you want, Major General. But I have one condition: my team will not be trained in the military camp."
Chu Zhao was proud and arrogant, so he naturally didn't want to lose face, so he said:
"In that case, I will not bring my personal guards with me. I will randomly select a hundred-man team from the barracks for training. Where do you want to go if you don't want to train in the barracks?"
Chu Xi had already thought it through in her mind. In the military camp, there is a kitchen for every thousand people to provide meals for a thousand people. If she stayed here, how would she prepare special meals for the hundred people under her?
So she said to Chu Shiting:
"General, there is a mountain to the east. I want to take this team to the mountain for training, which will better stimulate their potential."
There is indeed a mountain twenty miles east of the military camp, which is called Niutou Mountain because it is shaped like an ox's head.
Chu Shiting thought about it and thought that this kid probably didn’t want others to discover his training method. In that case, he would help him do so. If it is really effective, it can be promoted to the entire army.
If the training method is not appropriate, it is just a team of 100 people, and it only lasts for half a month, so the impact will not be significant.
So he nodded and said:
"Okay, that's no problem! Then I'll wait and see for the competition in half a month!"
