When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 222: Alliance Competition
Shuzhou City.

The original mansion of the general who defended the city has become the Gu Mansion.

The person who is currently in charge of Shuzhou's internal affairs is Chen Ling, the finances are managed by Zuo Xianghan and Shen Hongxuan, and Shan Chengshuo, Sun Haihui, Gu Chen, Chen Ze... also have their own things to do.

Military aspect.

Ye Ping was still in charge of the palace affairs, and Du Tianlin, Chai Yuangui and Luo Dingshan were the chief and deputy captains in charge of the training and management of the 10,000 elite soldiers.

Li Wei and others who had surrendered to them three years ago, as well as the troops and disaster victims who later came to Shuzhou after hearing that there was a female leader with money and food.

Gu Hua hired Shen Hongling, a descendant of a general who had read military books, followed her father and brothers into the battlefield, led troops, and served as a vanguard lieutenant, to select those who were suitable for military service, reorganize and train them, and build a new army for her.

Gu Hua handed Shen Hongling a manual modeled after modern special forces training.

Then, the new recruits, who were already suffering from being trained every day by the Shen sisters and Han Jinyan, a few cruel coaches, became even more miserable after hearing the training notes written by Gu Hua.

Every day there is a group of people on the parade ground who are exhausted from training.

As spring turned to winter, three years of training had given Gu Hua an army that was agile, tough, and sharp in attack.

Such results are not said out of thin air.
A competition held every three years.

Gu Hua sat on a high platform next to the parade ground. The early autumn breeze blew slowly, ruffling a strand of hair on her forehead and adding a touch of softness to her stern face.

Sitting beside him were three cute little kids with clear and bright eyes.

"My Lord, be well."

Leading the team at the front of the parade ground and saluting Gu Hua were the generals who were leading their troops to participate in the competition.

"No need to be polite, everyone." Gu Hua raised his hand slightly, "Let the game begin."

Shen Hongling, Shen Hongwei, Han Jinyan, and Wu Ruonan now have their own teams.

Li Wei, and later Xu Zhuo, Gao Yuanfang, Yang Daxing and other generals who brought their troops to join the army, and some generals who trained their troops at their own pace.

Gu Hua looked at the densely packed army below. She had long known that she had already maintained more than 200,000 people. In recent years, all the profits from Su Fuying's overseas trade and Murray's business, as well as the profits from the shops managed by Xi Yating and others, were used to support these private soldiers.

Fortunately, she has a strong financial foundation, otherwise she really couldn't afford to support these people.

Although Shuzhou has developed rapidly in both agriculture and commerce under her management in recent years, Gu Hua still keeps a low profile since the imperial court has discovered something unusual in Shuzhou.

Also, because the rebels in the entire Daxuan are popping up like mushrooms after rain, and wars are frequent everywhere, the court has no time to worry about Gu Hua, who is a low-key person, and take over this territory which they think is barren.

Xiao Junmo would never have imagined that Bashu, which had been sentenced to exile in every dynasty, would become a small granary for Gu Hua to grow two crops of rice.

As Su Fuying and the business traveler Murray brought back more and more seeds from all over the world, Gu Hua recognized high-yield seeds, such as corn, taro, potatoes, and some heat-resistant and drought-resistant grains...

Now, not only Shuzhou, but also several surrounding cities that Wei Xingba had conquered in his madness during his lifetime, Gu Hua has secretly taken over the management of the cities.

The grain grown was more than enough for the local people to keep for themselves and for Gu Hua to use to support the army.

Gu Hua still adheres to the principle of building high walls, storing up food, and slowly becoming king.

The world outside is in chaos, so just let it be and make yourself stronger.

As the drum beats "dong dong" sounded.

Gu Hua mentioned that the military competition held every three years was about to begin. Qiao Yuandong and Luo Dingshan, who was conscripted to join in the fun, acted as ceremonial officers to read out the rules of the competition.

"The next few teams will compete, including a one-on-one challenge, a 100-person team competition, and a five-day material transportation competition from Shuzhou City to Hezhou City.

Single challenge competition rules: each team can only send out ten people at most, and challenge the warriors in other teams in turn.

In a personal challenge, life and death are not important. Whether the loser can survive depends entirely on whether the opponent can show mercy, whether his generals are good enough, and whether they can step forward to stop him in time. At that time, whether they will be beaten up by the angry people together."

Luo Dingshan spoke bluntly, not caring about the gloomy faces of the dozen or so generals below him.

Gu Hua saw that there were several leaders of small teams who had come to join him, and he knew that it would be difficult for them to stand out in the competition alone, so he wanted to form an alliance with the stronger teams among them.

Guo Tong, the leader of one of the teams, walked up to Li Wei and whispered something.

Levi nodded gently, obviously agreeing with the other party's request.

Han Jinyan looked at the team leader named Zhang He and asked, "Do you want to join me and form an alliance with me?"

Zhang He looked at this ruffian-like man with a face that looked like he deserved a beating, and who called himself "young master", and snorted, then turned around and found Xu Zhuo next to him to propose an alliance.

"You also know that there is Lan in my team..."

Xu Zhuo was obviously not a generous person, and he was a little bothered by not being Zhang He's first choice.

So he grabbed the leader of another team, Chong Chengming, who was about to walk past him, and said, "I'm already preparing to form an alliance with him, so there's no way I can accept your team."

Zhang He gritted his teeth, and reluctantly looked for several other teams that were stronger than his to join, but they all wanted to watch the fun but he refused.

"Commander Zhang, besides Lan Xingchu, is there anyone else in your team who can show off his abilities?"

Zhang He was ridiculed by everyone and his face turned red with anger. "Damn it, I don't believe that I can't find a strong alliance."

Gu Hua looked at the team leaders who were secretly competing with each other.

He excluded Zhang He, whose personality was like a firecracker, from the alliance, smiled, and ignored their infighting.

Zhang He looked left and right.

Just now, Han Jinyan, whom he most wanted to join the alliance, was told "young master" by the guy, which made him give up the alliance with this bastard. Several other male generals of Xu Zhuo also rejected him.

Looking at Shen Hongling, Shen Hongwei and Wu Ruonan, the three female generals promoted by Gu Hua, Zhang He, who was somewhat chauvinistic, opened his mouth, but he couldn't put aside his masculine dignity and ask for an alliance with them.

In the end, it was the man who was strong, gentle, and had a sword on his waist who made the choice for him.

Zhang He: "Lan Xingchu..."

Lan Xingchu raised one of his thick eyebrows and said calmly, "It's her."

Shen Hongling looked at Zhang He who walked up to her reluctantly, her face looking as if she had eaten shit, "I want to form an alliance with your team, are you willing, as a woman?"

Gu Hua looked over here with amusement.

Shen Hongling glanced at Gu Hua who was waiting to watch the show.

He glanced at the expressionless Lan Xingchu again, and then, satisfying Gu Hua's desire to watch the show, he nodded, "Then let's form an alliance."

"Mom, can I participate in the competition?"
