Chapter 436: Zhao Er's Name Change
Chapter 436: Zhao Er's Name Change
After spending six to seven days settling matters in Jiuyuan, Lu Hai Kong merely reorganized his troops and left the subsequent tasks to Li Xiong, who had arrived later.
With the end of the Wu Xian rebellion, Lu Hai Kong also began to recall his deployed military forces back to Qiang Yin, while he himself led the Wuyuan army back to Qiang Yin's side.
Not long after Lu Hai Kong's return to Qiang Yin, Xin Ping, who had traveled to Luoyang, also returned with an imperial decree. As Lu Hai Kong had expected, he was promoted to the Inspector of Bingzhou, and once again, he sent Wang Jun to receive the decree.
After Xin Ping found Zhang Lang, he began plotting for Lu Hai Kong's position as the Inspector of Bingzhou.
As soon as Lu Hai Kong recaptured Wudu County and annihilated sixty thousand Wu Xian rebels, Zhang Lang started his plan. At the same time, He Jin, on the other side, stepped up to challenge Zhang Lang.
The two sides engaged in a fierce struggle, but ultimately, after the news of Lu Hai Kong's defeat of the Wu Xian rebels reached them, the decision was set in stone.
However, He Jin and Zhang Lang's struggle lasted for more than half a month, and it wasn't without any gains. Zhang Lang managed to get Lu Hai Kong appointed as the Inspector of Bingzhou, while He Jin, after some maneuvering, gave Ding Yuan, who was left with a bitter taste, an opportunity to rise again. He Jin assigned Ding Yuan to lead a force to Ji Zhou to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Lu Hai Kong had initially thought that Ding Yuan would step down, but he never expected He Jin to play such a hand. However, for Lu Hai Kong, Ding Yuan was no longer someone worth his attention at this point. Lu Hai Kong had completely swallowed up Ding Yuan's hard-earned Jiuyuan County, and Ding Yuan's top general, Lu Bu, had disappeared. Ding Yuan was now essentially finished.
Even if Ding Yuan was still at his peak, and Lu Bu was still by his side, Lu Hai Kong would not fear him. One could even say that killing Ding Yuan would be as easy as turning his hand.
However, with Ding Yuan being transferred by He Jin, it meant that the matters in Bingzhou were essentially concluded.
Next, Lu Hai Kong could take some time to rest and recuperate while keeping an eye on the opening plot of the Three Kingdoms, ready to enter the fray at any time.
Soon after Lu Hai Kong's return, Wang Ti and Zhao Er also brought back their spoils of war. Upon learning that Zhao Er had broken through, Lu Hai Kong immediately granted him an audience.
As soon as he met Zhao Er, Lu Hai Kong casually opened up his attributes to take a look.
Zhao Er
Identity: Vice-Commander of the Black Wind Legion
Lord: Lu Hai Kong
Loyalty: 95
Abilities:
Combat Strength: 80, Politics: 40, Strategy: 45, Command: 55
Main Cultivation Technique: Phoenix Heart Technique
Main Martial Skill: Phoenix Spear Technique
Commander Trait: Brave and Fearless"
Brave and Fearless: A passive trait. Upon entering combat, Combat Strength increases by 5 points."
Zhao Er's attributes are quite impressive, and with the blessing of the 'Brave and Fearless' trait, his Combat Strength is effectively 85 points. Currently, he is one of the top talents under Lu Hai Kong's command.
However, Zhao Er's commander trait, when compared to others, is not just relatively personal; it is completely biased towards the individual.
Lu Hai Kong would be delighted to see such a commander trait in others, but Zhao Er is one of the few talents under his command with high growth potential in both combat strength and command. Zhao Er also possesses a certain talent for military command and control. It is indeed a pity that such a talented individual has a commander trait that is so personally biased.
Fortunately, this wasn't something that couldn't be salvaged.
As Lu Hai Kong examined Zhao Er's attributes, he didn't neglect Zhao Er and Wang Ti, carefully inquiring about their situation at the time.
When Wang Ti finished reporting the details, Zhao Er presented the items he had obtained from Wu Yan Yong, and Lu Hai Kong's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing the System Building Upgrade Token.
This was a pretty good item; with it, Lu Hai Kong's fort would have another building upgrade secured.
Lu Hai Kong was delighted with the spoils Zhao Er had brought, but suddenly noticed that Zhao Er seemed a bit shy. Intrigued, Lu Hai Kong teased, "Little Er, what's wrong? Have you set your sights on that girl? I'll go and propose on your behalf."
At these words, Zhao Er's face turned even redder.
Zhao Er had joined Lu Hai Kong's fort over a year ago, and he was only sixteen or seventeen at the time. Now, at most, he was eighteen.
In the game, people usually married at a younger age, but Zhao Er, despite his decisiveness on the battlefield, was still an innocent young man at heart.
Zhao Er's face turned red as he said, "No, I want to ask the Lord to help me change my name."
"Change your name?" Lu Hai Kong was taken aback but quickly responded, "That's right. You're the deputy commander of the Blackwind Legion, a well-known figure in the army. Although 'Little Er' is a catchy and endearing name, it doesn't quite convey the same sense of might."
"How about this? Since your main cultivation is the Phoenix Heart Technique, let's choose a name related to the phoenix. What about Zhao Nanli?"
Lu Hai Kong's suggestion sounded good, but in reality, it was just a convenient choice. He had randomly picked a name from a novel he had read, but Zhao Er didn't know this. In his eyes, Zhao Nanli was much better than Zhao Er, and it was a name bestowed by Lu Hai Kong himself, so Zhao Er happily agreed to the change without any objections.
After successfully changing his name, Lu Hai Kong sent Wang Ti and Zhao Nanli away.
With some free time, Lu Hai Kong planned to make good use of his recent gains. After all, it wasn't ideal to let so many treasure chests accumulate.
Moreover, Lu Hai Kong realized he had hoarded quite a few items that he couldn't use himself but could enhance the strength of his subordinates. He decided that after opening this batch of treasure chests, he would conduct a reward ceremony to properly reward his followers.
As Lu Hai Kong spread out the treasure chests in his hands, he realized there were quite a lot of them, almost absurdly so.
Lu Hai Kong had originally kept two Golden Chests after recruiting Cheng Lian and Xin Ping. After the conquest of Wudu County, he obtained another Golden Chest. During the siege of Jiuyuan County, he acquired a Legendary Chest and two more Golden Chests. Finally, from the quests 'Suppress Wu Xian Rebellion' and 'Hunt Down Wu Xian Rebel Leaders', he obtained two more Legendary Chests.
So far, Lu Hai Kong had three Legendary Chests and five Golden Chests. When he laid out these eight chests in the Qiang Yin County government office, the golden and silver chests, shimmering together, emitted a light that was incredibly tempting.
"It's time for the delightful chest-opening segment again. I wonder how my luck will be this time?" Lu Hai Kong murmured before getting to work...
