When Han Zhong heard it, fire spouted out of his heart and he could not help but glare at Zhao Hong fiercely. Qin Ming, Qin Liang, how much ability does this Sun Zhong have, is something you don't understand? That Sun Zhong could be said to be the weakest amongst them with the weakest martial arts, ability and strength. If he became the commander, how would he be able to convince the masses?
”I think General Qin Ming is the most suitable. He has strong martial arts skills, has the most subordinates and has the most manpower. Furthermore, he has the ability to tie with the generals.
Rather than letting the person with the weakest ability, Sun Zhong, lead the way, it would be better to let the strongest Qin Ming lead the way. Although Qin Ming had not been in the xanthopanax for long, they had only been in the xanthopanax for a few months.
Qin Ming never expected that someone would mention him. He was prepared to nominate Sun Zhong in order to manipulate him. Wouldn't it be better if he did it himself? However, he still had to be polite with everyone and clasped his hands towards them.
”Generals, Qin Ming is just a martial artist, he cannot be considered as someone big, let's just recommend General Sun Zhong.”
Sun Xia had also figured it out by now. Amongst all the officers present, only the brothers Qin Ming and Qin Liang were the strongest. It would be better to just let them be commanders, so that the two brothers wouldn't have to control others.
”I agree with General Han Zhong's suggestion. Only General Qin Ming has the advantage, so I also recommend General Qin Ming to be the commander.”
Sun Zhong did not expect the situation to turn around so quickly. With the situation that was just good for him, and with Han Zhong's interference, he had no hope at all. He knew very well that if he were to compete with others, the two brothers would definitely support him. But if he were to compete with them, no one would support him.
”I also agree with General Han Zhong's proposal to nominate him as the commander.”
At this moment, Zhao Hong finally understood that Qin Ming and Qin Liang clearly wanted to become the commander. Pushing Sun Zhong to be the commander was just a blink of an eye, even if he was the commander, he was just a puppet. No matter if it was in terms of strength or fighting intelligence, he was not a match for her. General Qin Ming was the one who had won the battle, and Zhao Hong accepted his loss wholeheartedly.
”I also agree with General Han Zhong's proposal to nominate him as the commander.”
Although Jiang Tai and Hou Shan did not say anything, they had clearly seen the situation in front of them. The two of them looked at each other, stood up almost at the same time, and cupped their hands towards Qin Ming.
”We recommend General Qin Ming to be our general.”
Whether it was from the bottom of their hearts, or fake intentions, other than Qin Ming's little brother Qin Liang, all the other generals had different reactions. At this point, he could only hide his thoughts within his heart. Han Zhong did not care whether Qin Liang agreed or not, he stood up, walked to Qin Ming and cupped his fists as he bowed to him.
”Marshal, please take a seat.”
Han Zhong led the way while the other generals looked at each other, their thousands of words contained within. They had followed Zhang Mancheng for a long time, but never thought that in the end, the Commander position would be given to someone else. Everyone stood up as well. They lined up in a row and bowed towards Qin Ming in unison.
”Marshal, please take a seat.” Under the blazing sun, on the official road leading to Xiao County, Yang Lin, his brothers, and his teachers, along with more than a hundred cavalrymen, were rushing towards Xiao County City. Xiao County City was located to the north of Wan City, where the temporary headquarters was located.
The Hanling Emperor imprisoned Lu Zhi and had instead sent Dong Zhuo to attack him. In the end, Dong Zhuo was not as good as Lu Zhi, who had been defeated repeatedly by the Zhang Jiao brothers. This made Liu Hong anxious, and he hurriedly punished Dong Zhuo and transferred him to the Guangzong.
The imperial government had just sent some eunuchs over with an imperial edict, ordering Huangfu Song to set off immediately. He immediately led his subordinates and marched towards the Guangzong to replace Dong Zhuo, who had been beaten repeatedly in the Guangzong. On the other hand, Dong Zhuo was removed from his post and returned to the West Cold.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu followed Huangfu Song to the Guangzong, and the only people left behind were Cao Cao and Sun Jian, Acanthopanax of Jingzhou Xu Zhong, Nanyang Grand Guard Qin Jie, and Liaodong Taishang Yang Lin.
They were completely worn out from the journey and they had just arrived at the Nanyang. The camp they had set up was not even complete, and they only watched a few days of attacks from the sides of the Wan City. With Huangfu Song's order, they were about to follow Huangfu Song back to the Guangzong.
Today was the day Huangfu Song would set off. In order to be the host, the Acanthopanax of Jingzhou and Xu Zhong set up a banquet in Xiao County City to send him off, inviting him, his main generals and strategists to the banquet to send him off.
By the time Yang Lin and the others reached the river bank, there were already many people waiting for the transition to occur. Xiao County City was located on the west side of the Flowerless River, very close to the Wan City. It was an important road on the water that travelled from north to south. There was a water dock on the river, and one had to cross it to get across. Yang Lin and his brothers were riding on horses as they led more than a hundred cavalrymen towards the pier.
The docks were bustling with activity, the merchants who took the river route, the tourists who traveled from north to south, and most of the civilians who escaped the war, all gathered on the docks. The bustling crowd filled the roads. Yang Lin and the rest could only get off their horses and lead the horses forward slowly in the crowd.
When the crowd saw them coming, they all stepped aside and looked at them in surprise. The people around Wan City knew that the army was attacking the Wan City. This large group of strong and strong cavalry must be the generals of the army, no one wanted to cause trouble. Yang Lin continued to smile as he slowly walked forward.
”You blind thing! Blind your dog eyes! Break your daddy's family treasure! Hurry up and compensate your daddy!”
Suddenly, from the crowd in front of them came a burst of violent curses, loud, rough, and fierce. One could tell that these curses were not ordinary curses, belonging to experts who had been through a lot of fighting, and they even overshadowed the sound of the waves in the river, and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down.
