C59 Courage and Conspiracy

Although the General status was important, but he would rather not have the bestowment!

The Linze Province took the Tianwu Academy Licensing Orders from the Heavenly Master Yuan Huan's hands, and gave it to him as a gift.

There were swamps all over Linze Province, beasts everywhere, and very few people. Other than the million slaves that Guo Ziyi secretly ordered to buy recently, there was no one else.

It was an absolute wasteland of death, unable to be opened, unable to be reclaimed, if not, how could the Daiyuan Kingdom be willing to part with such a large area?

Other than the size, Linze Province had no other advantages.

Five hundred thousand Guo Family soldiers were indeed very strong, but without a strong fortress, how could they stop the Sea Clan?

Victory would bring honor to the ancestors, and the hereditary Lin Ze would be extremely enticing. That kind of title, was tens of times stronger than Guo Long's Preservation Duke. Duke Bao Ding was only an heir to Bao Ding City, and the heir to Duke Lin Ze's position was the entire Linze Province! After the Sea Clan retreated, the Linze Province was slowly developed. Lin Ze's power was equivalent to the current Guo Ziyi, one of the top aristocrats in Li Tangguo.

But there was a 99% chance that he would lose!

A defeat would result in the annihilation of the entire clan. That was an extremely terrifying threat.

All of the soldiers exclaimed inwardly at Guo Nan's ruthless methods. Their jealousy and hatred towards Gao Lin and Gao Lin also quietly disappeared.

Gao Lin's father, Pao Song, was so shocked that he almost died. He gestured at Gao Lin from afar, indicating for him to give up the competition. It was a pity that Gao Lin did not notice his anxious father in the crowd.

"Have you two considered this clearly? If we leave now, it'll still be too late. " Guo Nan looked at Gao Lin and Huang Bo, and said with a smile.

Gao Lin grinned, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Guo Nan, and said: "Young Prince, this general is determined to win against General status!"

Huang Bo kneeled down right after, and said in a deep voice: "My prince, I will do my best to win over General status!"

Guo Nan had a strange expression, as he thought to himself: "Gao Lin is grandfather's old subordinate after all, and is loyal to the Young Prince; Their courage is quite good. I originally thought that I could scare someone off, but who would've thought that these two people are both fierce men. "

He shook his head and sighed, "Since you won't give up, then alright. Let the election begin. "The rules are very simple. Three matches two wins. The first match is a martial arena."

Hearing Guo Nan's words, Gao Lin immediately roared excitedly, holding onto his spear with an imposing manner.

Huang Bo knelt and kowtowed to Guo Nan: Your Highness, in terms of fighting, I know that I am not Gao Lin's match, I admit defeat.

Gao Lin, who was about to teach Huang Bo a lesson, was dumbstruck when he heard this.

The soldiers present did not make a ruckus. They all knew that Huang Bo was not good at fighting.

"The second round, the written competition. I will be setting a question. Whoever answers it well will win."

Guo Nan had already guessed the outcome of the first round. Huang Bo was a handsome man, he would not do something like humiliating himself, and fight with Gao Lin in the tournament.

He paused for a moment and then spoke out the second round of the competition's questions.

"The enemy does not know how to attack those who are good and defensive. "What's the next sentence?"

The crowd was stunned. They looked at each other with tongue-tied mouths, unable to find a suitable answer. Many people did not know the meaning behind Guo Nan's words, so how could they answer?

Dugu Hong and the Uncle Xiang discussed the answer quietly. When Guo Nan heard their conversation, a smile appeared on his face. After all, Dugu Hong and Uncle Xiang were not the military officials, how could they know?

The only answer was not something that could be answered with mere knowledge. Dugu Hong was indeed knowledgeable, but his guesses were still far from the true answer.

Gao Lin scratched his head and replied softly: "I do not know, but Huang Bo might not know either, we might have reached a draw in this round!"

Gao Lin lowered his head to think, his expression changing. When Gao Lin saw his expression, he sneered: "Huang Bo, don't think about it anymore.

Guo Nan calmly gazed at Huang Bo and thought: "If Huang Bo is unable to answer, then he does not have the qualifications to compete for the General status. A scheming Confucian general who doesn't even know this little bit of military strategy and common sense, what kind of soldier are you bringing? "

He had never thought that even Guo Ziyi would not be able to answer his questions regarding military strategy and common sense!

Countless pairs of eyes stared at Huang Bo. Sweat rolled down his forehead as a large patch of wet ground covered his forehead.

Gao Lin kept on ridiculing them, and the generals who supported Gao Lin kept on jeering along. The generals who supported Huang Bo kept quiet, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat for him.

"The enemy does not know who is good at attacking."

Just as Guo Nan thought that he could not answer and was about to announce the draw, a voice suddenly came to his ears.

Guo Nan looked towards the direction the voice came from. He stood up straight and looked at himself with his burning gaze.

"Your Royal Highness, is this general's answer correct?"

Huang Bo's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

Based on what they felt, most of the generals felt that Huang Bo was right.

Guo Nan looked at Huang Bo, and laughed: "Correct, will you explain it to me?"

Huang Bo nodded his head: "Those who are good at defending, their enemies do not know how to attack. What that means is, the troops who are good at defending, have already formed a stable line of defense, and the enemies do not know where to attack. Those who are good at attacking, the enemy will not know where to guard. This means that the army that is good at attacking will always be successful, and the enemy will not know which position to defend. "

When the generals heard this, they all had an expression of realization.

Guo Nan clapped his hands and praised: "What a great Huang Bo, worthy of being the number one Confucian general in the Guo Family Army. You've won this round."

Gao Lin huffed and puffed, unconvinced at the bottom of his heart, and thought to himself, "All he knows how to do is put on a show!"

Seeing Gao Lin's discontent, Guo Nan shook his head and did not advise him, and told him the third test.

If we fail, the master will definitely commit the crime of destroying the family and exterminating the family. This king likes to joke around, but I am extremely serious about this matter. Right now, you are the main generals, bringing five hundred thousand Guo Family soldiers to guard Linze Province, tell us your plans, and let everyone hear, who's the one who can win in their idea. "

Gao Lin and Huang Bo fell into deep thought, lowering their heads in silence.

All the officers present whispered amongst themselves, each coming up with their own lousy idea in a cheerful manner. In any case, this matter had nothing to do with him. Anyone who wanted to watch the show would have to take on the risk. Lin Ze's risk was so great that no one could afford it.

Gao Lin and Huang Bo, who were at the center of the storm, had countless thoughts running through their minds, but they did not dare to say it out loud. They themselves also knew that their ideas, were basically unable to go against the Sea race army. Even if it were one versus two, with strong fighting strength and excellent military training, the five hundred thousand Guo Family Army could defeat a million of the Sea Clan army. But the problem was, with a total military strength of eight million, after passing through the Daiyuan Kingdom, there would still be five or six million left.

Time passed minute by minute.
