Chapter 1038: Hard to Find a Capable General

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and Gu Yuheng and Aunt Hua remained at the southern border without returning.Gu Chuan’s three-year tenure had ended, and Jinyang had been governed quite well. Gu Chuan introduced advanced agricultural methods from Jiangnan and also purchased hybrid rice seeds from Jiangnan, increasing yield significantly.

He received top evaluations for three years consecutively and was promoted to a prefecture governor, staying at the southern border, overseeing Jinyang County and several nearby counties.

Wu Fang gave birth to a son in the second year after entering the family, granting Aunt Hua and Gu Yuheng a grandson. Every letter praised the boy for being chubby and adorable.

Gu Yunjiao assumed that her father and Aunt Hua would remain with their son, as her father was never ambitious, having a grandson meant it was time for him to enjoy his later years.

One evening, Jiang Youzhi did not come to pick up Gu Yunjiao, so she returned home with Yang Ying.

It was not until the hour of the dog that Jiang Youzhi returned smelling of alcohol.

Gu Yunjiao helped him take off his clothes and wrung a warm towel, intending to wipe his face; Jiang Youzhi grabbed her hand, "Do you know, both the Emperor and I are overjoyed today."

Gu Yunjiao wiped his face with the warm towel, "It seems like there’s good news."

Jiang Youzhi rarely got this excited, "Good news, great news!"

"Have you heard, there’s now a King Buger on the grasslands?"

Gu Yunjiao shook her head, "How would I know?"

Jiang Youzhi gripped her hand tightly, "King Buger has scattered the tribes all over the grasslands, driving them deep into the grasslands. Now, King Buger has an army of a hundred thousand, his influence reaching even the Hexi Corridor area."

Bear in mind that between Great Chu and the Hexi Corridor lies part of Da Jin’s territory.

Gu Yunjiao, being a geographic dimwit with no sense of direction, was trying to figure out the location of the Hexi Corridor, while Jiang Youzhi excitedly continued, "Do you know who King Buger is? It’s Brother Lin!"

"Really?" Gu Yunjiao became excited, "He went there just three or four years ago, how did he manage to become so powerful?"

Jiang Youzhi laughed, "Brother Lin’s martial arts and ingenuity are incredibly outstanding."

"Ah Hu spent eight years creating a band of horse thieves that struck fear into people."

"Brother Lin spent three years recruiting soldiers and simultaneously training the band into a steel army."

"That’s why it’s said, an army of thousands is easy to find, but a great general is rare!"

"In a secret letter sent by Brother Lin, he mentioned that just give him a few more years, and he could fully control the Hexi Corridor, also open up a route from Great Chu to the Hexi Corridor."

"Last time, I just casually mentioned to him that if we could control the Hexi Corridor, it would be great."

"First, Great Chu could once again trade with the western countries, our silk and tea could be exchanged for grain and various materials needed by Great Chu."

"Furthermore, when Great Chu dispatches troops in the future, we can advance from several directions, essentially enclosing Da Jin, allowing us to capture cities step by step, regaining our territory."

"Unexpectedly, Brother Lin really acted on it, I believe with a few years, he will definitely achieve his goal."

Jiang Youzhi threw off his robe and lifted Gu Yunjiao high into the air, "I’m truly overjoyed."

"The Emperor was so excited that he cried today."

"First we shall reclaim Dingjing, then level Huining. Great Chu is destined to enter an unprecedented era of glory, I can hardly wait for that day."

Gu Yunjiao couldn’t help but ask, "So when will the action begin?"

Jiang Youzhi said, "Within three to five years, not exceeding five years."
