Chapter 104: Snow falls in white robes and silver armor, the future Dragon Rider General!
"Defeated?!!!"

"General Chen is defeated already?"

"how is this possible?"

The many soldiers watching on the side of the martial arts arena were talking about something for a while. Some of them who didn't believe it even rubbed their eyes, fearing that the scene before them was an illusion.

At this time, Chen Zhibao on the field had his white robe turned black, and there was a burnt smell all over his body.

He struggled to get up, the plum wine spear in his hand had already turned into powder. However, Zhao Yun was not better off. The Longdan Bright Silver Spear was broken in half by Chen Zhibao's awe-inspiring spear intent and had to be sent back to the furnace for recast.

Dian Wei had foresight and rushed into the martial arts arena and picked up Zhao Yun. It felt weird to see a burly and strong man holding the slightly weak Zhao Yun.

Just like a bandit who robbed women.

"Cough...cough!"

"Put me down, I can walk by myself!"

Zhao Yun seemed very resistant to Dian Wei's hairy chest.

His feet were floating, as if he was stepping on cotton. He staggered to Xu Chunlin and replied, "My lord, this time Zilong has fulfilled his mission!"

Xu Chunlin nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xu Xiao and said, "Dad, what do you think of Zilong?"

"How's it going?"

Xu Xiao was puzzled, not knowing what his son was up to, so he just replied: "At such a young age, he has surpassed Chen Zhibao. He is a young talent, and he has the potential to turn from a storm into a dragon!"

Xu Xiao looked at Zhao Zilong, the young general in white robe, and liked him more and more. He couldn't help but persuade him:
"Hey, son, if you ask me, it's a waste to keep such a talent under your command. It's better to put him in my Beiliang Army and let me train him personally. He will definitely become another leading figure in my Beiliang Army in the future."

"you listen to me………"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Dad!"

Xu Chunlin had just finished speaking.

Xu Xiao felt as if his neck was stuck and he was speechless for a while. He had prepared a lot of words of persuasion in his heart, but now it was like dumplings boiling in a teapot and he couldn't pour them out at all.

"No, son, you agree now?"

Xu Chunlin nodded and said, "My purpose for coming here today was to get Zilong to join our Beiliang Army!"

"I, I..."

Now Xu Xiao just wanted to give himself a big slap in the face. It seemed like he had been thinking about it for a long time, but it was all in vain, right?

My son has suddenly become so sensible, which makes me, as his father, a little uncomfortable.

Xu Chunlin: →_→What’s the matter? You’re just a cheapskate, right?

However, Xu Xiao was naturally very happy to have snatched such a powerful general from his son for free.

He said, "Well, son, you decide where to send Zhao Yun. You can choose any of the camps in the Northern Liang Army."

Xu Chunlin immediately said with a smile: "Let's make it clear first, you are not allowed to regret it!"

"Of course, who are we?"

"The dignified King of Beiliang is as reliable as a nail with his spit!"

At this moment, snowflakes suddenly started floating from the sky, and a chill came over him. One snowflake happened to fall on Zhao Zilong's white robe and silver armor.

Xu Chunlin's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Dad, what do you think of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry?"

"It just so happens that Zilong is also wearing a white robe and snow-fall silver armor. It is God's will. Isn't it just right for him to be the commander of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry?"

Xu Xiao pointed his finger at the tip of Xu Chunlin's nose and scolded him with a smile, "Chunlin, you are really cruel. With just one word, you have torn out the flesh and blood of your father."

"Dad, just tell me whether you will give it to me or not?"

Xu Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "Although your young general is extremely powerful, he is not experienced enough and has not achieved any merit. It is definitely not possible for him to directly become the commander of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry."

"In my opinion, you should start as a captain of the Dragon Cavalry. Once you have made contributions, you can be promoted step by step."

"Just a captain?"

Xu Chunlin was still a little dissatisfied. After all, Zilong was at the Celestial Realm, and it was definitely enough for him to lead an army alone. Wouldn't it be unfair for him to be just a captain of a thousand men? Just when Xu Chunlin wanted to bargain, Zhao Yun spoke.

"My lord, I am grateful for your kindness and am asking for a position for Zilong, but Zilong would like to climb up based on his own achievements. I hope you will help me."

Xu Chunlin had no choice but to compromise.

In fact, the position of a centurion in the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is not low. At most, the total strength of the army is only 10,000, but they are the best cavalry warriors in the world. A centurion can already command one-tenth of the troops.

It is said that the Northern Liang cavalry is the best in the world, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is the hero of Northern Liang!

Just one sentence is enough to illustrate the strength of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. So why is this army so strong?
As far as Xu Chunlin knows, in terms of the composition of officers and soldiers, the soldiers are the most elite and strong men in each army and camp. The middle-level officers are all ruthless people who can fight against a hundred people alone, and the main generals are all veterans who have experienced the Spring and Autumn National War.

In terms of equipment configuration, all the war horses are of Grade A, and the swords they are equipped with are all top-grade. With such personnel and equipment configuration, it is impossible not to be strong!
Just as Xu Chunlin and his son Xu Xiao were discussing.

Chen Zhibao had already changed out of his robes and returned to the training ground with wounds all over his body. Unlike his original arrogance, this time he looked a little gloomy.

He knelt on one knee like Xu Xiao and saluted, "Foster father, Zhibao is incompetent and lost this time..."

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiao laughed and helped Chen Zhibao up, saying, "Zhibao, according to your godfather, your defeat is no big deal."

"Godfather..."

Chen Zhibao wanted to say something but was interrupted by Xu Xiao.

"Don't be anxious. Listen to me first. You should know that there are always people who are better than you. It's a pity that you have had such a smooth journey.

Even when I, your godfather, was young, I was defeated more than once or twice and was beaten badly, but so what?
You have been defeated many times, but you have fought again and again. This time, I think it will be a chance to wipe out your pride. Zhibao, you must remember that people can have pride, but they cannot be arrogant. "Xu Xiao comforted him.

"Zhibao understands!"

Chen Zhibao nodded, but it was unclear whether he had listened or not.

At this time, after listening to Xu Xiao's explanation, Chen Zhibao stared at Zhao Zilong with fiery eyes.

The same white robe and silver armor, the same spear master, the same proud and awe-inspiring spirit...

All of this is so similar to him, as if it were his shadow, or even surpassed him.

Finally, after a moment's silence, Zhao Zilong spoke first.

"General Chen, Zilong admires me!"

He put away the Longdan Silver Spear that had been broken into two pieces, bowed to Chen Zhibao, and a hint of admiration appeared on his face.

Chen Zhibao also nodded to Zhao Zilong.

"General Zhao's marksmanship is as good as that of a god. I, Chen, am ashamed of myself as he is not as good as him." He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

If you lose, you lose. There’s nothing to be afraid of!
At this moment, Chen Zhibao already had a sense of crisis in his heart. He lowered his head and reflected: "It seems that I have been too lazy in the past few years. From today on..."

Xu Chunlin was naturally happy with Chen Zhibao's reaction. Today's goal had been achieved.

The reason why he encouraged Chen Zhibao and Zhao Yun to fight.

Firstly, it was to deal a blow to Chen Zhibao's prestige, to let the people in the Beiliang army know that Chen Zhibao was not invincible, and to break the myth of his undefeated record.

Secondly, it was to lay a foundation for Zhao Zilong's reputation in the Beiliang army. Moreover, according to Xu Chunlin's idea, he wanted Zhao Zilong to command the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

The army has always respected the strong, not to mention the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry that makes the whole world tremble with fear. Stepping on Chen Zhibao to ascend to the throne should be able to convince others and also pave the way for Zhao Yun.

Thirdly, it also lets the soldiers know that the prince's subordinates are not all good-for-nothings. Although they may not be full of brave generals and wise counselors, at least they include the best talents in the world.

Leaving some impression on these soldiers can also further establish his own prestige. Otherwise, by then people might only know Chen Zhibao but not Xu Shizi.

This does not require him to have too much contact with the Beiliang Army. He just needs to show up from time to time, and then he will insert other people into it.

This was an obvious plot to seize the right to speak in the Beiliang army. Even his own father could not stop it. Even if Xu Xiao blamed him, Xu Chunlin would have an excuse.

Xu Chunlin: What? You don’t even want the talent that’s being sent to your Beiliang Army? Isn’t that just a waste of your kindness?
It's like putting a fish in front of a cat to tease it. Dogs can't stop eating meat, and cats can't stop eating fish. He doesn't believe that Xu Xiao, this old cat, won't be tempted when he sees the fish.

The five hundred spiritual officials are considered the hidden line, and these famous ministers and generals are considered the visible line. One is the visible line and the other is the hidden line. They openly build the plank road and secretly attack Chencang. This is called preparing for both situations!
I have to say, playing tricks on your dad is so much fun!

Even the tactics of war were used!
