The Enigma of the Yishui Monster Chapter 287

Speaking of eight years ago, Zhao Pu had just become the Grand Marshal of the Song Dynasty. After several victories, the territory was basically pacified. However, there were many scattered soldiers and bandits, which always endangered the safety of the Western Regions. Therefore, Zhao Pu divided his deputy generals into several groups and asked them to patrol in shifts. He also led the army to patrol one town after another, to eliminate some remnant bandits and help rebuild some villages and towns. Usually, Zhao Pu stayed in each town for about ten days and half a month. This time, they were stationed in a small town in the desert of the Western Regions that they could not name. Going west out of the city is the vast desert, which is very impressive.

It all happened in this vast desert.

Among Zhao Pu's many deputy generals, there was a young general named Chen Wang. He was a Confucian general. In terms of martial arts, he was definitely not a master in Zhao Pu's army. However, he was highly regarded by Zhao Pu because he was very smart, well-versed in ancient and modern times, and proficient in numerology and metaphysics.

In fact, Zhao Pu hated scholars in the early years. Chen Wang was a bookworm. He liked to tell fortunes and act mysterious when marching and fighting. Zhao Pu wanted to beat him up several times. However, there were several old generals in Zhao Pu's army who praised him and said that Chen Wang was not a simple person. He was good at observing weather changes and unusual phenomena. He was rare.

As expected, Chen Wang accurately predicted weather and disasters more than once, which helped Zhao Pu a lot. Zhao Pu was clear about rewards and punishments, and this man was also the fastest promoted among the Confucian generals.
