"Aren't there still soldiers from two provinces? That's close to 200,000 soldiers.

Of course, I know it's difficult for you. The imperial treasury is empty and there is no money to give you, so you can only rely on yourself.

In fact, I didn't even give you a real job. Although deputy commander sounds nice, it was just a false position before the war.

Including the tiger talisman, once the war is over, the title of commander will be gone, and everything including the tiger talisman must be returned to the court.

Moreover, he is only a third-grade general." Chu Guang said.

"I don't have much opinion about that. I'm not a general, and I don't have much interest in these things. I just want to be a free hermit. I'm just worried that I'm not capable enough to control the many soldiers in the two provinces." Tang Wen shook his head.

"I believe you. In fact, the court's appointment of you as deputy commander this time is a test for you." Chu Guang said.

"Test, what are you testing me for?" Tang Wen asked.

"You have repeatedly made military exploits and are about to become a marquis. However, you are too young and still lack direct achievements.

If you perform outstandingly this time and drive the Sun Kingdom thieves out of Dachu, then you will be granted the title of Marquis, and it will be a matter of course.

Those court officials can't talk nonsense to you anymore," Chu Guang said.

"It's easier said than done." Tang Wen shook his head.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Look, didn't I come here the same way you did? You have to seize this opportunity. Nowadays, officials in both provinces are under your control. You are holding the title of deputy commander at the age of eighteen. What an honor is this?"

Chu Guang smiled.

"I'll try my best." Tang Wen nodded.

"Haha, that's good." Chu Guang nodded, glanced at Tang Wen, and said, "I heard that you brought back a lot of treasures from the West?"

"Treasure, where did the treasure come from?" Tang Wen deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"Look, you're pretending to be confused with me again." Chu Guang said.

"I dare not, how dare I deceive the Duke?" Tang Wen said.

"I won't play hide-and-seek with you anymore. Someone told me about Linghai Academy, and they have been targeting you.

This matter must be settled with certainty. But, alas... the situation between North Korea and China has been turbulent recently.

Of course it's difficult for you as the deputy commander, because you're afraid that the officials from the two provinces won't listen to the arrangements.

The water is deep here. None of these generals and governors are fuel-efficient lamps.

Although the Holy One gave you the Tiger Talisman, it is just a decoration.

Could it be that you really used them to kill this and that?

That's impossible, so there must be someone behind you to support it," Chu Guang said.

"Of course my backer is you, the Duke. If you don't help me, who will?" Tang Wen said.
