Standing on a small hillock, Chen Yu said, "Look at the smoke and dust. There are still people building fortifications over there. Their courage is commendable. Jiang Zhijun, you take your troops to test their quality. If they are capable of fighting, take them down and occupy them. Make these fortifications a shared property between us and the enemy. Let's see what tricks they have up their sleeves."

To be honest, a ruler must have at least 5,000 to 10,000 troops under his command. Using such a large force to bully the militia who are obviously building fortifications is really a bit bullying.

But no one spoke out to dissuade him.

There is no way, a good start is very important.

Besides, Jiang Zhizhuo was originally a favorite of the prince. This time, the prince specially asked him to take the soldiers to bully the militia in order to let him win military merits. It seems that the news that he is about to be promoted to commander is not a rumor.

"As you command. I have the audacity to invite the Crown Prince and the other lords to watch the battle here. I will be back soon!"

Unlike ordinary warriors, Jiang Zhizhuo does not look like a muscular man with a face full of flesh, a height and a waist of eight feet. On the contrary, he looks more like a middle-aged Confucian scholar in his forties. But the murderous look that flashed across his face when he received the military order told everyone that he was not an easy person to get along with.

The prince did not like simple warriors, so he, who was more like a Confucian general in his daily life, caught the prince's eye very early on.

With the support of the crown prince over the years, he was promoted from a potential general to a ruling official. It seemed that he would be able to take another step forward and become a commander, and then hold the honorary title of Jiedushi, which would mean he had reached the end of his career as a military general.

But the last step is the hardest to take.

In private, the prince also told him clearly that without any outstanding military achievements, even if he was the prince, he could not casually appoint anyone as a commander.

"Then I'll let you guys see my abilities this time."

Jiang Zhizhu said in his heart.

He then said goodbye to the prince and went down to inspect the troops.
