Chapter 200: Ironback Qiong King Qin Jiaoshou

Are the golden scales just a thing in the pond? They turn into dragons when exposed to wind and rain.

Since Li Jun came to the mountain, his thoughts and actions have been very different from others. He was just a private salt dealer and a warrior who made a living on the edge of a knife.

But since he met Cao Jie, he listened to what he said, read "The Art of War" and "The Spring and Autumn Annals", and asked scholars such as Wu Xuejiu and Jiang Jing for advice every day.

Never slack off for a single day.

I read like this for more than a month and gained a lot.

Today, he manipulated public opinion to attack Zhujiazhuang. Others just charged into battle and fought with swords, but he began to think about how to inspire the people and enhance their cohesion and centripetal force. If they really rebel in the future, what should they do?
These knowledge are not taught in books. You can only think about, practice and summarize them by yourself.

Zhujiazhuang was the testing ground for him to practice his life ideals.

As a result, his soul, his luck, and his fate began to change.

In the entire Liangshan, there are very few talented commanders who can take on independent leadership.

And Li Jun can definitely be ranked at the top.

Li Jun took the two boys up the mountain, like a snake returning to a swamp, and showed off his skills.

The Liangshan navy under his command "can't be found on the vast land, and can't be defended against when it attacks you like a divine soldier descending from the sky." He defeated Gao Qiu three times and achieved remarkable feats: luring the enemy into deep territory to block the waterway, defeating the officers and soldiers by setting fire to the warships, and using the warriors to scuttle the boats to capture Gao Qiu.

While Li Jun demonstrated his outstanding military ability in naval warfare, he also began to show his unique personality. After he and Zhang Heng captured the imperial navy commander Liu Menglong and Niu Bangxi alive, "he wanted to take them to the mountain stronghold, but was afraid that Song Jiang would release them again", so he simply killed the captives and brought back their heads for the reward.

In terms of seniority, he is not as good as the three Ruan brothers, and in terms of water skills, he is not as good as Zhang Shun, but he is both wise and brave, with a natural leadership temperament and the art of command. When the heroes of Liangshan were ranked, he was ranked among the top naval generals. He was designated as the naval general and ranked 26th.

Even without Cao Jie, Li Jun could have been baptized by war in Liangshan and trained from a self-proclaimed king into a strong, restrained and confident naval commander.

Now with Cao Jie helping him transform into a dragon, his growth value will naturally be higher, and his talent potential will naturally be stronger.

As for Zhang Shun who made the leap from a carp to a dragon, he was simply too talented and caught up with Li Jun's progress of transforming into a dragon.

"The navy is commanded by Li Jun and Zhang Shun is the general, so there is no need to worry about the future. As for the cavalry commander, we still have to persuade Hu Yanzhuo to come up the mountain!"

"Lu Fang is still too young after all. He is more than qualified to be a vanguard now. It would be difficult to become a commander of an army without ten years of experience."

As for Lin Chong, Cao Jie admitted that he had extremely high martial arts skills, but a commander-in-chief wants more than just martial arts!

"Infantry Commander..."

Wu Song's face appeared in Cao Jie's mind, and then the two big words "Zong Ze" appeared.

Pure peasant uprisings have never been successful.

The leadership class still needs to be elite.

Zhujiazhuang was busy dividing the land. On the official road from Mizhou to Tokyo, the curtain of a carriage window was opened, and a man inside asked with a piercing look in his eyes:

"Where is this place?"

"My lord, this place is the territory of Yanggu County, called Dulonggang!" The driver was a big man from Shandong, who was familiar with the geography.

"Dulong... stop the car!"

The man got out of the car, stood in the biting north wind, and looked towards the direction of Zhujiazhuang in Dulonggang.

In the sky, the stars were densely packed, twinkling, hanging, dim, blazing, each with its own light and color, and on the ground, the energy was fluctuating. The scholar who had called out the names outside Donghua Gate pondered for a long time, sighed and said, "This place is going to produce someone!"

"Professor Qin, since there are people coming here, why not go look for them and make some good friends."

Their convoy was heading to Tokyo, so they naturally would not travel alone.

Shandong is now in turmoil, with bandits everywhere, and only a few hundred people dare to set out.

The scholar surnamed Qin frowned, and then he heard a senior official dressed in silk and satin say, "Professor Qin practices the art of looking at qi, so I think he would not do it without a purpose. We really need to go to Dulonggang to look for it."

Professor Qin narrowed his eyes and sighed, "This art of fortune-telling is useless if you don't cultivate it to the infant stage!"

"Professor, you are too modest. Everyone knows that you are a man of great talent. This time you enter the court, it is almost certain that you will be admitted to the Imperial College and become a scholar. The next time we meet, I will call Brother Qin "Xue Zheng Qin."

"You don't know that this method of observing qi, at a low level, can sense the good or bad fortune of qi, at a medium level, can observe the color of qi, and at a high level, can observe the qi of the vast earth. Although I have made some progress in this area, but... Alas!"

"Professor, why are you sighing? If you know good and bad luck, you can avoid it. Is there any danger here?"

"It's not dangerous at all, it's just that anger..."

"Since there is no danger, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Please listen to me, everyone. That aura is extraordinary. You know, even if a true dragon emperor is born, it is only a red light shining in the room. When a dragon cannot get water, its aura is no more than that of a county resident.

There are too many people like this, for example, our Taizu was just a county magnate when he was in the grass roots! "

It is said that when Zhao Kuangyin was born, a red light filled the whole room and a strange fragrance lingered all night long, so he was nicknamed "Fragrant Boy".

Several senior officials nodded in unison, waiting for Professor Qin to answer their questions.

"The rumors in the world that the emperor descended with the aura of an emperor, rising into the sky, are all false rumors. Even if there is, it is only a rough estimate. Otherwise, wouldn't the hidden dragons of all generations have been found out and strangled?"

"And when the true dragon emperor enters the sea and shows the aura of an emperor, he must have commanded millions of soldiers and civilians and dominated the world. Even if we know, what's the use of it?"

"Only by tracing the roots, observing the destiny, and deducing from the human way, can we find some true dragons in the early stage. But to do this, we must be in the Nascent Soul stage. It is difficult for people without great powers or Confucian saints to see through the subtleties."

Hearing this, all the high officials became serious: "Professor Qin, why are you saying this? Is a dragon going to appear here?"

"A dragon can be big or small. From what I've seen here, although it's not the aura of a real dragon, it's also the appearance of a python dragon."

"Hiss! Is there going to be a king of a different surname here?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up.

Most of the kings of different surnames in the Song Dynasty were prepared for the dead.

In addition to posthumous titles, the Song Dynasty also gave a limited number of kings of different surnames to foreign relatives.

Whether it is posthumous title or in-laws, if you can make a good connection with him before he becomes famous, then in the future...

"Let's go, let's rest here in Dulonggang tonight. Professor Qin, I hope you can give me some advice."

Professor Qin was full of doubts and he was also curious!
I thought to myself: My soul is an iron-backed dragon. I don't know when I can turn into a dragon, like the python on Dulonggang... Alas! I met this person here today. This is a chance given to me by God! How can I miss it? I might as well go and investigate...

Thinking of this, Qin Hui, also known as Qin Jiaoshou, made up his mind and went to Dulonggang with a group of high-ranking officials from Shandong.
