I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 241 - 170: Human Relations (Two - s Combined)

Behind him, Su Zixiao, the Marquis Gu’s die-hard fan, walked in, surveying everything around him, his gaze towards the Marquis Gu filled with even more admiration, and he exclaimed:

"The commander is calm and leisurely, which makes the soldiers brave and confident. This is the true posture of a strong army. The Marquis is really a master strategist."

Seeing that Su Zixiao’s face was still quite pale, Gu Lan casually asked, "Is Capital Commandant Su okay?"

The Marquis Gu also said, "I see you don’t look well, perhaps you should go back to rest for the night and come see me some other day."

Su Zixiao quickly explained, "It’s just a minor internal injury, nothing serious—"

Before he could finish, Rong Heng had already spoken lightly from the side, "He won’t die."

Su Zixiao’s expression froze.

Just when Gu Lan thought Su Zixiao would be angry, unexpectedly, the young man nodded seriously: "This brother is right! I am perfectly fine, and there are still questions I want to ask the Marquis."

Rong Heng: "..." He felt a bit pointless in his sarcasm.

Gu Lan frowned slightly.

Is this the camaraderie buff between good brothers from the original book? Su Zixiao lost to Rong Heng, not only without any annoyance but even calling him brother. It seems there’s no need to intervene; Su Zixiao will naturally get along with Rong Heng.

The aroma of roast chicken became more tempting, and in front of several juniors, the Marquis Gu tore off a drumstick and ate it with relish: "Ask your questions then."

About the time of an incense stick later, the Marquis Gu deeply regretted the three words he had just said.

Su Zixiao calmed himself and began to speak incessantly:

"What is most needed as a general?"

"How does the Marquis usually lead troops?"

"Has the Marquis ever charged into battle personally to kill the enemy?"

"How many people were stationed at the Qiangrong Royal Court at that time? I heard their capital doesn’t even have city walls, is that true?"

"The Dingyuan Army is so fierce, how do they train usually?"

"What is the key to winning a battle? What is the Marquis’s secret to continual victory?"

The Marquis Gu: "..."

He was being bombarded by Su Zixiao’s endless curious questions, and the drumstick in his hand lost its appeal. Struggling, he replied, "These questions... you could read more military books."

Su Zixiao’s eyes sparkled brightly: "Does the Marquis usually read military books?"

"I..." he didn’t have time to read.

"Whose works does the Marquis read?"

"Read..."

Rong Heng couldn’t listen any longer and stepped forward.

After all, as the father of Gu Lan, the Marquis Gu was considered his future father-in-law, so it was his duty to help him out.

His gaze was indifferent, his voice cold: "You talk too much. If you want to know the answers to those questions, join the Dingyuan Army yourself, and you’ll find out."

"Yes, my Dingyuan Army welcomes you."

Gu Chengzhao slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t exactly cut out to be a teacher, fortunately, Rong Heng gave him a way out.

The Marquis Gu stared at Rong Heng’s mask, thinking, he hadn’t seen this Fifth Young Master Rong in many years, and this young man seemed less flamboyant than when he was younger, and his martial arts were also good, but unfortunately, his identity was indeed awkward.

He had long come to the barracks and had roasted a chicken, naturally witnessing the competition between Rong Heng and Su Zixiao.

Su Zixiao had been obsessed with military strategies since childhood. His greatest wish was to join the Dingyuan Army, his biggest dream was to lead troops in battle with the Marquis Gu to protect the country.

Now seeing the Dingyuan Marquis in person and hearing Rong Heng’s words, he was even more determined in his heart, and he stated word by word:

"I will go back and ask my father, or go to the Prime Minister... I must join the Dingyuan Army."

Xie Yun poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "The Prime Minister’s direct grandson meddling in the Dingyuan Army, does the Prime Minister want to interfere in military power? The Emperor is already very wary of the Su Family, don’t ask for trouble." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Su Zixiao said in a deep voice: "I’ll go plead with Your Majesty, anyway, I don’t have to be a Capital Commandant, but I must join the Dingyuan Army."

"But I still don’t know the answers to those questions..."

The Marquis Gu looked at Gu Lan, playing the role of a hands-off manager: "Lan, why do you think I was able to win this time?"

Gu Lan said: "The timing, geographic advantage, and human harmony."

"Timing, geographic advantage, and human harmony, what are they?" he asked, rubbing his chin.

"Timing is that the Emperor and you had a tacit understanding. You both saw through the old Chanyu’s intention to lie dormant, and the great victory at the Southern Border six months ago enabled the opportunity to switch the main force of the Dingyuan Army from Weizhou to Yunzhou. No one anticipated that the Dingyuan Army would make a thousand-mile raid, appearing in the Qiangrong Royal Court’s capital, this was unexpected;

Geographic advantage is that the old Chanyu took away the Royal Court’s elite to march out, leaving the Qiangrong Royal Court empty and defenseless, not even with city walls. At this time, the Dingyuan Army, leveraging the mobility of cavalry, charged forward, naturally able to take the Royal Court in one stroke;
