News came from the southwest that the Kingdom of Nanning had suffered a major defeat.
Jianghe not only reclaimed two cities, but also captured two more cities from the enemy country.
When they captured the two cities, Jiang He and Sun Yuan had a disagreement.
After Lin Muheng returned to the capital, Jiang He took over as commander. Jiang He knew that this was his first time on the battlefield and he didn't have much experience.
He boldly reinstated Sun Yuan.
Apart from those left behind by Lin Muheng, most of the people in the military camp were former subordinates of the Sun family.
They followed both Sun Yuan and Sun Chi, forming two opposing camps.
Now that Sun Chi is dead, they all share a common name: Sun Family Army.
Few people truly admire Jiang He, a mere young man.
Jiang He commanded the first battle after Lin Muheng left.
Sun Chi's former subordinate, Sun Qian, stirred up trouble.
The orders given by the river were not carried out.
Without Lin Muheng in charge.
Sun Yuan also turned a blind eye, wanting to find out more about the situation.
The most renowned members of the Mighty General's Mansion are Jiang He's father, Jiang Zhongyong, and his elder brother, Jiang Huai.
Jianghe has a bad reputation.
In the capital, people who used to walk cats and play with dogs couldn't get into the military camp through nepotism.
Sun Qian provocatively said, "Vice Commander Jiang, don't think war is child's play. When I'm fighting, you're probably still playing in the mud in some corner!"
Sun Qian was referring to Jiang He's official position in the palace.
He does not acknowledge Jiang He as the head coach.
"Everyone has played in the mud before, I think you're just trying to disobey orders!"
Jiang He glared angrily. He knew he lacked prestige in the army, and if he couldn't subdue these people this time, it would be even harder to win their respect in the future.
With external enemies eyeing us covetously and internal conflicts rife, the entire war situation is bound to be affected.
Sun Qian, however, was not to be outdone. "What ability do you, a mere child, have to shoulder such a great responsibility!"
The two were locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
At this moment, Sun Yuan finally spoke up, "Alright, everyone, say less! Deputy Commander Jiang, since you are the commander-in-chief, you should have the dignity of a commander-in-chief. Sun Qian, you are also an old subordinate, how can you be so rude!"
That's what he said, but Sun Yuan adopted a stance of blaming both sides equally.
These seasoned soldiers could easily see that Sun Yuan was also dissatisfied, and they all had an attitude of watching a good show.
Jiang He said loudly, "Although I am young, I am in charge of the commander's seal. How can I allow such an impudent person as you to provoke me! I will let today's matter go for now, but if there is a next time, I will not let it go lightly!"
Sun Qian retorted, "What's so great about seizing power through a woman?"
The soldiers burst into laughter.
Jiang He glanced at Sun Yuan and saw that he didn't intend to stop him.
Jiang He leaped up and flashed in front of Sun Qian with lightning speed.
"Slap!" The sound of the slap echoed throughout the military camp.
Sun Qian was stunned for a long time before he felt his face burning; Jiang He had used all his strength in that punch.
How did he jump right in front of him like that?
Sun Qian's face quickly swelled up.
"You're asking for death!" Sun Qian roared in fury, grabbing his knife and charging forward.
When had he ever lost so much face, he was now hacking at the river with all his might.
The air suddenly became still.
Jiang He might not know Sun Qian's arm strength, but the soldiers did.
Jiang He is doomed.
Some people harbored a secret excitement.
Who told Jiang He to overestimate his abilities?
This actually angered Sun Qian.
This man wasn't very bright, but his martial arts skills were top-notch. With his brute strength alone, no one in the army could match him.
Some even thought that the army had once again fallen into the hands of the Sun family.
Sun Qian swung his knife and slashed, the blade flashing as it came down towards Jiang He's head.
Sun Yuan just watched coldly.
Jiang He died because he was less skilled than others; he deserved it.
To everyone's surprise, Sun Qian's knife didn't even touch a single hem of Jiang He's clothes before he fell to the ground.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
They didn't see clearly how Jiang He made his move; the move was so fast, they didn't have time to watch.
The slap in the face came so quickly.
After Sun Qian fell to the ground, he still tried to struggle to get up, but Jiang He quickly stepped forward and pressed his knee against his chest, making him unable to move.
"Sun Qian, with your pathetic skills, you dare to be arrogant in front of me. Today I'm just giving you a slight punishment, otherwise you wouldn't know there are people more capable than you," Jiang He said loudly, his sharp eyes sweeping over the surrounding soldiers.
"Anyone else who disagrees, come and try!" Jiang He released Sun Qian, stood up and straightened his clothes.
Sun Qian was incredulous and lay on the ground, unable to believe it. How could he not withstand even one of his attacks?
"What kind of hero lies on the ground? If you're not convinced, let's fight again." Jiang He kicked him.
Everyone was astonished; they hadn't expected Jiang He to be so agile, easily subduing Sun Qian.
Those who had originally intended to watch the spectacle now silently lowered their heads, their hearts filled with a newfound reverence for the river.
He also silently mourned for Sun Qian, who had gone after Jiang He's life.
How could Jiang He let him go?
Sun Qian thought the same way; since he was going to die anyway, he might as well fight to the death.
He felt that Jiang He had just narrowly escaped the attack; how could a playboy like him have such good skills?
Sun Qian stood up: "Again!"
He glared menacingly at Jiang He: "If I can't beat you within ten moves, I'll atone with my death! Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Jiang He looked at Sun Qian: "I'll give you three moves!"
Boos and jeers erupted from the crowd again.
Some of them shared the same thought as Sun Qian: Jiang He won by sheer luck, and no one knew what clever tricks he had used.
Giving up three moves? What a smug face! Jiang He is just waiting to be beaten to a pulp!
