Chapter 157 Young Warrior, You Have Completed the Novice Tutorial

Gongsun Ce held Gongsun Yan and Fusu in his arms and rode in a bronze chariot with Wang Jian's main force to the Qin-Zhao border.

Behind the bronze chariot followed a small cart loaded with a cow and a ewe, which were Gongsun Yan's food.

On the bronze chariot, Fusu curiously lifted the curtain and looked at the soldiers in front.

"Mr. Gongsun, are we following General Wang Jian to attack Zhao?"

"Yes, Fusu, you have read quite a few books. Logically speaking, you are well-versed in classics, but you are missing something."

Gongsun Ce patted Fusu's head, and Gongsun Yan also patted Fusu's head when he saw this.

This made Fusu's face bitter, but with his height of nearly 1.7 meters and muscular body, he looked indescribably funny.

"Is it knowledge?"

Gongsun Ce laughed out loud, and Gongsun Yan laughed too.

Fusu's face was even more bitter now, "Why are you laughing, sir?"

“Hahaha, you’re right. You do lack some knowledge. Hahaha.” Gongsun Ce waved his hand and acknowledged Fusu’s idea. “It’s just that, hahaha, I thought of something happy. Hahahaha…”

Gongsun Ce, Gongsun Yan: (ヮ)

Gongsun Ce had no choice but to take Gongsun Yan with him.

Gongsun Ce is going to take Fusu to the front line, and Jingwei has been busy remotely controlling the Luowang spies in Zhao State to transmit intelligence.

The two people who were most capable of controlling Gongsun Yan had left. No one was looking after Gongsun Yan who had awakened the Bronze Throne, which made Gongsun Ce really worried.

Just as Gongsun Ce wanted to broaden Fusu's horizons, Wang Jian also wanted to train his grandson.

Therefore, the centurion guarding Gongsun Ce's bronze chariot was Wang Li.

Wang Li’s ability was not weak, but it also depended on who he was compared with. Meng Tian started as a captain of a thousand men, while he was a centurion.

If the established trajectory had been followed, Wang Li would have been Meng Tian's deputy general when Meng Tian drove the Huns north.

"Wang Li, inform General Wang Jian to find a mountain stronghold for Fusu to practice. General Wang Jian will march first, and after Fusu has dealt with the stronghold, we will follow."

Wang Li ordered his scouts to ride as fast as possible to catch up with Wang Jian's horse and report the matter.

"Report!"

When Wang Jian saw Wang Li's scouts coming at full speed, he guessed that Prince Fusu wanted to discuss something with him, so he slowed down his march.

"Hello!"

The scouts under Wang Li's command told Wang Jian everything. Wang Jian stroked his white beard and thought for a moment. He decided to give the nameless mountain stronghold five miles away to Prince Fusu for training.

In a sense, these villages can also be considered small resource refresh points.

Generally, when training new recruits, veterans will choose to have them clean up the strongholds, so that the veterans can earn some extra money while training.

Unless it is a forced march, if they encounter them during the march, they will choose to clear out the strongholds, earn a reputation and kill time.

Soon, Wang Li's scouts reported back the situation, "Captain of the Centurion Army, the general has ordered that the nameless stronghold five miles away be handed over to Prince Fusu to handle."

After getting Wang Jian's approval, Wang Li led his team of 100 men to break away from the main force and head towards the nameless mountain stronghold.

Dian Qing, the former Grand Sima and the Lord of Arms pulled the bronze chariot to change their route.

The bronze chariot galloped along the mountain road, escorted by Wang Li's battle-hardened armored soldiers.

Their destination was a village hidden in the deep mountains and forests.

The scouts under Wang Jian's command had already found out the specific situation of this mountain stronghold.

The stronghold was not big, and there were no more than ten bandits. However, there were twenty or thirty women abducted by them to the stronghold. They were truly lustful ghosts.

Gongsun Ce brought Fusu with him this time because he hoped that he could exercise his decision-making ability through actual combat.

The idea that Fusu inherited was to be a sage within and a king without, and Gongsun Ce believed that Fusu was cruel enough.

When faced with adult and extremely vicious bandits, Fusu could capture them all in one fell swoop as easily as cutting vegetables or melons.

However, Gongsun Ce did not think that Fusu could easily eradicate the entire enemy.

When the bronze carriage arrived outside the mountain village, it was already dark and windy.

Gongsun Ce got off the carriage and looked around. He saw that the village was built against the mountain, with a wooden and stone structure and a high wooden wall on the outside.

Gongsun Ce touched his chin and felt that something was wrong with this mountain stronghold. The wooden walls were too high, and there was a wooden watchtower inside to observe the outside world.

"Wang Li, is this configuration really something a mountain stronghold of ten people can have?"

As Gongsun Ce spoke, Wang Li dismounted and approached the bronze chariot, "General, this place was originally a large mountain stronghold with nearly a hundred people, and it was cleared out by our army two years ago.

The stronghold was not burned down directly at that time, so it was taken over by this group of people later."

Although Wang Li's answer had some rationality, Gongsun Ce felt that there was something wrong with it.

"Who led the troops to destroy this mountain stronghold?"

Wang Li thought for a moment and replied to Gongsun Ce, "It's General Fan Yuqi."

"Tsk!"

Gongsun Ce could be sure that there was indeed something wrong with the mountain stronghold in front of him, but Fusu was, after all, already a second-rate body-building warrior.

It shouldn't be a big problem for Fusu to surround a mountain stronghold by himself. If it doesn't work, Gongsun Ce will take action.

Gongsun Ce then turned to Fusu and said, "Fusu, this group of bandits is your task today. Kill them all." Fusu couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he heard this. It was the first time he had killed someone and he didn't know what to do.

Gongsun Ce had no choice but to raise his right index finger and touch Fusu's throat and heart. "Poke the sword into these two places. If one of them doesn't make a sound, just poke it."

Fusu nodded and drew out his sword - a long sword with the word "De" engraved on it.

Gongsun Ce nodded slightly when he saw this, and then ordered: "Go in, kill anyone you see, and then when there is no one left, check to see if there are any dead.

Okay, young warrior, your novice tutorial has ended, go ahead! Complete your novice mission! "

Fusu nodded, leaped up, and rushed into the mountain stronghold like a tiger climbing a mountain.

Gongsun Ce followed Fusu quietly, while Wang Li ordered his 100 battle-hardened armored soldiers to surround the stronghold.

Not long after, Wang Li heard a commotion coming from the mountain stronghold, and he couldn't help but admire Fusu's high efficiency.

After Fusu rushed into the mountain stronghold, he found that there were no bandits patrolling in the stronghold, but more than a dozen rooms were brightly lit.

Fusu could vaguely hear some lewd music, but as a young man he didn't understand what was going on.

Gongsun Ce, who had been following Fusu secretly, covered Gongsun Yan's ears. It was a waste of time for these bandits to start the migration in the middle of the night without thinking about expanding the scale!

Fusu locked onto the largest of the dozen or so brightly lit rooms and rushed forward and kicked the door open.

Then, Fusu openly saw the restricted content, which was essentially watching a pornographic film on the spot.

The bandit leader who was working in the field at this moment was startled and became as weak as cooked noodles, unable to get up again.

The bandit leader was immediately furious. He had his back to the gate at the moment and thought that some ignorant little brother came to disturb him.

The bandit leader immediately picked up the butcher knife beside the bed and prepared to teach his younger brother a lesson.

As a result, before his hand could grasp the hilt of the knife, he saw his body, especially his penis, after a dizzy spell.

Ugly! This is how he felt after changing his perspective.

The first time Fusu drew his sword to kill someone, his original intention was to cut off the bandit leader's trachea, but he didn't expect to use too much force and directly separated the person's head.

The scarlet blood immediately splashed all over the woman on the bed, and the woman, who had been like a piece of wood and unable to make any sound before, suddenly screamed.

"Ah!" Then she began to cry, "Wow, it's good to die! It's good to die..."

Fusu could no longer hear what the woman said next, because the woman screamed and the rest of the bandits were forced into the CD stage for an unknown period of time.

"Looking for death!"*9
After Fusu left the bandit leader's room, he saw nine bandits holding weapons and rushing out from their respective rooms.

Their clothes were disheveled and their faces looked fierce. It was obvious that they were frightened and came out to vent their anger.

Fusu only took a glance and confirmed that all the other bandits were having fun.

Moreover, Fusu could confirm that these women did not do it voluntarily because there were still scars on their bodies.

"kill!"

Fusu roared, and the next moment, his figure shuttled among the nine people like a ghost, taking a life every time he swung his sword.

His sword skills were so fast, accurate and ruthless that the nine people fell in a pool of blood before they could even react.

After the nine people died, Fusu pushed open the remaining lighted rooms.

Fusu immediately saw some shocking scenes.

He saw the women who were abducted by the robbers. They were ragged, pale, and their eyes were full of fear and despair.

They were all brutally tortured by the robbers, and some had already lost their lives.

Fusu stepped forward and cut the ropes on them, "You are free!"

But no woman took any action. Only one woman asked Fusu a question, "Where should we go after leaving here?"

Fusu suddenly fell silent. Yes, even if he let them go, where would they go?

Although these robbers were not human, at least they gave them something to eat.

Most of their families had been killed by robbers, except for those who had given birth to children, who might have been accepted and lived a better life.

What about the rest of the people? Most of them have already lost hope of living.

What else can he do?
The first difficult problem Fusu encountered in his life was one that far exceeded the knowledge in books.

“In fact, they can be allowed to accompany the army, as the army still needs women who can mend and wash clothes.

Let's see if they can regain their will to live as time goes by. There are many soldiers from poor backgrounds in the army, so let's see if there are people willing to accept them."

Fusu nodded, and when he turned around, he saw Gongsun Ce holding Gongsun Yan.

"Mr. Gongsun, why do women have to marry? Can't they survive alone?"

Gongsun Ce shrugged, "Years of war have made having children a necessary condition for replenishing the population.

It's not that you can't survive alone, it's just that it's harder to survive in troubled times, and it makes an already difficult life even worse."

Gongsun Ce stepped forward and patted Fusu on the head. "I am glad that you can think of this, but unless there is a peaceful era, it will be difficult to change the old customs.

For example, human sacrifice, for example..."

Gongsun Ce's voice gradually weakened, but Fusu understood what Gongsun Ce meant.
