Chapter 131 No One Can Beat Me As Long As You Don't Want To Win
As the saying goes, when people have money, they can't help but want to spend it.

Chen An is the same.

It was fine in the past, but now that the amount of source power on hand is more, he can't help but start to move.

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

If nothing else, there is no pressure to elevate oneself to the third stage of Astral Qi.

However, after thinking for a moment, Chen An dismissed this tempting idea.

He's not the kind of person who likes to hang up.

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

He didn't care about it.

Well, it's actually stingy.

The source power on the body seems to be a lot, but in fact, if you don't save a little money, it may not be enough for many times.

The cultivation base has improved, should the martial arts also be improved accordingly?
Then, shouldn't the body method also be improved by one or two?
After going back and forth like this, he seems to have a lot of power, but is it really enough?

Chen An was deeply suspicious.

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

Where you can do it yourself, it's better to do it yourself honestly.

Saving a little is a little.

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

"I still can't let go."

Chen An thought helplessly.

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

The number of treasures is too small.

The amount of wool that can be harvested in each treasure field is really limited.

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

no way.

Compared with the treasure land, although the 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 to highlight a large amount of tube fullness.

If this world also has such existences, Chen An's troubles will be much less now.

He rushed to Xiantian in one breath and didn't dare to say it, but it would not be a problem to finish other things he wanted to do in one breath.

probably.

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

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

Unless a brand new treasure land reappears somewhere.

But this is unlikely.

So Chen An can only practice honestly.

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

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

As long as there is no secret interference from the crystal stone, after a few years, the vitality of the surrounding will eventually recover slowly.

It's just that this time is not guaranteed.

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

In a flash, another year passed.

Then Chen An ended this practice and returned to his mansion in Shengjing.

Little is known about his return to Shengjing.

Except for Cheng Zheng, only a few friends such as Liu Chu knew about it.

Chen An didn't want anyone to come to disturb him.

Today, his reputation is not the same as before.

The first battle with Song Guozhong and Yang Zhong was finally exposed.

Chen An has also become another rising star in Dahua. The master of Astral Qi on the top floor is also known as Dahua's first arrogant.

Of course.

Anyone who becomes arrogant at this age can basically become Dahua's first pride.

Still the kind that no one grabs at all.

Ordinary people who want to advance to Gang Qi are estimated to be at least 30 years old.

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

In Shengjing, Chen An spent a rather leisurely day.

Living in the mansion, apart from accompanying the Fourth Princess, he practiced alone, silently improving his martial skills and Astral Qi cultivation.

Few outsiders knew the news of his return, most of them thought he was still in retreat and practice in the treasured land, and naturally no one would come to visit.

But leisurely days will never go on like this.

After just over half a year, turmoil broke out again in the south of Dahua.

In the south, the army of the Song State buckled and launched an attack in the name of King Cheng Ming of Thailand.

The three continents in the south are eroded, and they look down directly at the wind.

There was silence everywhere.

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.

Looking at it like this, it is also just around the corner, and it may be buckled at any time.

This is called misfortune?
Facing the current situation, the courtroom was 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 take action in a targeted manner.

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

Compared with the Song State in the south, the strength of the State of Lu is much weaker. I want to come here this time because I saw Song State's actions, so I was eager to move, and it should not be difficult to resist.

On the other hand, the country of Song in the south was a huge trouble.

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

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

But to everyone's surprise, Cheng Zheng finally came to Chen Guogong's mansion, where he personally invited Chen Guogong out to serve as the commander-in-chief of this southern expedition.

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

"It's rare that I have been free for more than half a year, but I didn't expect to be pulled out by Your Majesty again in the blink of an eye."

Before leaving, a wine was placed in the palace.

Chen An sat cross-legged with Cheng Zheng in front of him, looking at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Honestly, this was something he hadn't thought about.

Although he is a gangster, he has never been in the army in the past.

Then it fell on his head, making him dizzy.

However, he understood why Cheng Zheng chose this way.

"There is no way."

Three years have passed, and Cheng Zheng seems to be in good health, still healthy: "The commander of the army must be of high energy. If it is replaced by someone else, I am really worried."

There was no one else in front of him, but he was honest and said calmly: "I really can't trust other people."

The commander-in-chief of an army must have a high level of cultivation, otherwise, on the one hand, he will be easily killed by the enemy, and on the other hand, he will not be able to control the arrogant soldiers under him.

You know, the generals in this world are all cultivated.

If you send someone who is not as good as those 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.

If it was an ordinary time, Cheng Zhengpiao still had a choice.

But this time it was not only Song Guo, but also King Cheng Ming of Thailand.

In the past, the King of Thailand was a well-known virtuous king.

At that time, including Duke Jianguo and Chen An's grandfather, all directly supported him to become the prince.

Now he came with the army of the Song Kingdom, and if Cheng Zhengruo sent others over, God knows what the final result will be.

After all, the only one he could trust was actually Chen An.

"I don't know how to fight."

Chen An raised his glass and said with a smile.

"Chen An, I can't be more clear about your ability, why do you have to humble yourself?"

Cheng Zheng smiled, but didn't take it seriously: "Besides, for the commander, set up camp, and how to march, someone will do it for you. Why do you need your commander to go out in person?"

As the commander-in-chief of an army, it is equivalent to being the leader of an army. Naturally, there are professionals in all aspects to do it, and there is no reason to be hands-on with everything.

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.

In terms of employment, Chen An actually doesn't have to worry about it at all.

For Chen An's expedition this time, 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 hand it over to this group of people to do it.

"You said so, what else can I do."

Chen An sighed, and finally nodded.

"Don't worry, when you actually get to the barracks, you will find that this is not as difficult as you think."

Cheng Zheng smiled, and then continued: "Let me ask you, if you went to the south, what would you choose to do?"

"Set up camp, set up camp, step by step, stretch the front line, and then wait for an opportunity to move."

Chen An looked at Cheng Zheng, and said indifferently: "I'm only capable of this, Your Majesty, if you expect me to make a quick decision and judge quickly, then you should look for someone else."

"No, you don't have to."

Cheng Zheng waved his hand and nodded in relief: "I am very relieved that you have this attitude."

While speaking, he put a few memorials in front of Chen An and motioned Chen An to open it and take a look.

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

Good guy.

Suppress the rebellion in March and return to Beijing in May?
Why didn't you talk about going 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 crazy, one is more exaggerated.

Chen An couldn't help looking at Cheng Zheng, wanting to know where these strange flowers came from.

Do they know how many people there are in Song State?
"see that."

Cheng Zheng couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Compared to these people, Chang'an, you are quite reliable."

How reliable is it.

Compared with these talents who are about to break through the capital of Song State and destroy Song State at every turn, Chen An is simply an honest person.

"I don't have much requirements, just keep it for me."

Cheng Zheng patted Chen An on the shoulder and said with relief.

What else can Chen An say, he can only choose to nod his head.

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

And then again, two years have passed.

Facts have proved that Chen An is an honest man.

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

After all, in the past, Chen An often said that he couldn't do it, so as to avoid errands and avoid trouble.

I thought it was the same for Chen An this time, but if he said no on the surface, he would actually give him a big surprise.

Then, the surprise really came.

A full two years.

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

Typical fortified.

According to the opinions of a large number of experts, Chen An built a group of fortresses in places suitable for defense, and then took the army and set up the camp so safely.

Apart from sending a small group of people out to harass him from time to time, he never did anything, and he only focused on cultivating internal skills.

"Chang'an, Your Majesty has sent someone to urge him again."

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

"What's the urging?"

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

"Naturally, it urges us to fight."

Liu Chu said helplessly: "It's been two years, let alone us, even His Majesty is a little impatient waiting there."

"How can you be impatient?"

Chen An raised his head and said with a smile, "I am here. If Your Majesty is really impatient, you can have me recalled."

Cheng Zheng is also a person with a different appearance.

At the beginning, Chen An said that he would only focus on defense after he came to the front line. 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 was no movement here from Chen An, Cheng Zheng couldn't help urging him since a year ago, sending letters to Chen Anxiao from time to time, urging him to hurry up and stop delaying.

And what about Chen An?

Naturally indifferent.

It is impossible to march, and it is impossible to march in this life.

After all, marching is risky, and it is easy to overturn if you are not careful.

As long as I can't hold on, the enemy can't defeat me.

For Chen An, he does not seek merit but seeks no fault, and prepares for the worst in advance.

If Cheng Zheng couldn't stand it there, it would be a big deal to replace him.

Ordinary people may be afraid of this.

But for Chen An, change it?

And this good thing?
He wished he had been replaced.

Wouldn't it be good to go back to the mansion and sleep with the sweet four princesses?

As for eating steamed buns every day?
"But we can't do it this way."

Liu Chu said helplessly, "It's been two years."

"Brother Liu, this is your fault."

Chen An turned around in 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 and Chen An first arrived, a group of Chen An's exclusive military staff discussed for a long time, and finally gave Chen An three strategies.

Sticking to it is just the bottom line.

Unexpectedly, Chen An didn't even look at the ingenious best strategy, and chose the most labor-intensive 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 had to offer this strategy in the first place.

It's just torture.

"This time and the other"

Liu Chu patiently persuaded: "Two years ago, we arrived for the first time, 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."

"Furthermore, it's really not easy for me to stay here every day, and the imperial court will come with grain."

"It's not easy for us to transport food, isn't it more difficult on the other side?"

Chen An smiled: "I remember that for the convenience of transporting food, I could have left those places that were not easy to walk to them?"

It's okay not to mention this, Liu Chu's mouth twitched when he mentioned this.

This is what Chen An has done 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, directly military camps on the spot, and tried to be self-sufficient.

Everyone who sees this is stunned.

Without the permission of the court to abandon the county without permission, this is the crime of abandoning the soil.

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

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

Ordinary people dare to 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 did it so many times, but nothing happened.

"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 the Song country come from a long way, but it's not that easy. Every time a truckload of grain arrives, I don't know how much it will cost on the road."

"Before, there were 30 people in the Song Kingdom, but now we don't even know if there are 20 people, and they are still scattered everywhere. This is a clear proof."

For Chen An, the current situation is actually burning money. It depends on who takes longer and can maintain combat effectiveness better.

And Song's army came from afar, and its maintenance cost was higher than Chen An anyway.

So the longer it takes, the better in theory.

Of course, like Chen An, Song can also start military camps on the spot and move the people here.

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

Chen An only maintained his defense in the main body, and did not attack at all without saying it.

A troop of cavalry attacked and swept the grassy valleys everywhere, which was still okay.

Without a solid enough military fortress to rely on, it is impossible to have a military settlement.

"The enemy is getting weaker and weaker, which is not bad."

Liu Chu reluctantly said: "But after the past two years, the army of the Song Kingdom is already exhausted. In my opinion, it is time to attack."

"Our army has 40 people, and we have been raising our forces for a long time. We practice every day. The enemy's army is only 20 people, and they are scattered everywhere, exhausted."

"The advantage is mine!"

"What did you just say?"

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

Liu Chu couldn't help being stunned, a little confused, so: "My subordinates say 40 vs. 20, and I have the advantage."

"well said."

Chen An patted his thigh and smiled immediately: "Give me the order, and guard everywhere."

"We have to prepare to guard him for ten years!"

"Ten Years"

Liu Chu's eyes widened, and he was completely stunned.

What made him even more stunned was still behind.

The next day, news came from all over the place. Liu Guogong Liu Chu advised Chen Guogong that the current situation was very good, and there was cheers everywhere. This is all the work of guarding and should be guarded for another ten years.
