C355 Zhao Bo

Qiao Feiyan's face changed, and she anxiously tried to advise, "Han Chen, you?"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Han Chen shook his head and interrupted her. "Feiyan, I won't leave you."

"But you never led any troops!"

"Hmph." Xi Shaocheng scoffed, his face was filled with contempt. "Brat, you truly know how to boast shamelessly. Since you wish to bring shame upon yourself, this general shall grant you his wish."

With that, Xi Shaocheng turned his gaze towards Qiao Hongyu who was at the edge of the palace and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty, you heard it too. "This person is bold and unbridled. What qualifications does he have to be a princess? Your Majesty, I beg of you …"

Qiao Hongyu waved his hand, directly interrupting Xi Shaocheng's words, "Alright, I know what to do. At present, the major general should take the exchange station of the three countries as the main target. As for General Zhao Bo's suggestion just now, we have no objections. Since Han Chen belittles your ability to use troops, then just let's have a fight. "

Qiao Hongyu's words were especially straightforward, as he did not directly reject Xi Shaocheng's proposal. At the same time, he had also diverted everyone's attention onto this matter.

This was an incident that was added into the century-long celebration of the founding of the Kingdom. Next, Qiao Hongyu gave the order. Han Chen and Xi Shaocheng led their troops at five hundred points each to face off against each other in the two military camps.

The rule was that within ten days, they would attack the enemy's army camp and occupy their camp as a victory.

Of course, the swords, spears, and spears used in this battle were all blunt weapons that had yet to be unleashed. After all, they were the army of a country and could not be used to create rivers of blood just because of a whim.

Speaking of which, the majority of the civil and military officials in the imperial court could not understand, how could Qiao Hongyu, who had always been solemn, agree to this kind of thing.

One had never led a soldier, had never fought a war. The first was to learn how to ride and fight from a young age.

In everyone's eyes, regardless of background, ability, or cultivation, Han Chen was far inferior to Xi Shaocheng. This confrontation, needless to say, was a one-sided slaughter.

Three days later, Yue Lan Empire's East Lake Army Camp.

Standing in front of Han Chen were rows and rows of neat black armoured warriors. The strong sunlight shone onto their armor and emitted a dark golden luster. However, all the soldiers looked at Han Chen with strange eyes. He didn't look like the commander at all.

"Stand still, all of you. Don't look so casual." A young general with a sword at his waist shouted.

"Captain Jiao En, we still need to train!"

"That's right, letting us participate in some kind of military confrontation without any problems. I'm so full of food, yet I'm still holding on."

"It's fine if it's a military confrontation, but isn't it too much to let a wet behind the ears brat command it?"

The soldiers did not care about the young officer's scolding at all as they expressed their inner thoughts. Han Chen, who was leading his troops for the first time in battle, did not have a shred of prestige towards them.

The young officer was also somewhat helpless, "Han Chen will lead, I …"

Han Chen waved his hand, signalling for the other party not to say anything more. "Then, he lifted his eyelids slightly and swept his gaze over the soldiers before him." I heard that your Donghu Army is the weakest team in the entire Yue Lan Empire, right? "

"What did you say?"

"What do you mean? Don't think that just because the princess likes you, she can humiliate us. Let me tell you, this Prince Consort of yours has yet to become one! "

Not only were the soldiers dissatisfied, but there were also many others who were clearly furious. Captain Jiao En couldn't help but to shake his head. He thought to himself, this Han Chen is really a mediocre person who has never seen the world. If he were to fall out with the soldiers, who would he take to war?

Facing the crowd's accusations, Han Chen's expression was calm, and said indifferently: "I did not insult you, you insulted yourselves."

Everyone was startled as they all frowned.

"Company Leader, what is the most important military discipline?" Han Chen asked coldly.

Jiao En was stunned for a moment and then loudly answered. is to obey the commands. "

"Very good." "Han Chen pointed at the soldiers in front of him and cursed loudly. Just by this military discipline alone, all of you idiots should be punished by the military law. "

Everyone's faces could not help but change, when they suddenly felt a strong pressure coming from Han Chen's body.

Han Chen continued, "This battle is not only for me, but also for you. If I lose, won't you lose face? Or are you idiots just trying to stay in the army and live your lives forever at the end of the army, becoming unambitious parasites? "

Han Chen's scolding caused the soldiers to feel a burning pain on their faces. Humans had their own dignity, especially that of men, which could not be violated by anyone.

"But, but can you really bring us to defeat Xi Shaocheng? Stop dreaming, that's impossible. " A soldier retorted, but his voice was no longer as disdainful as before.

"Do you have no confidence in yourselves, or in me?"

The soldiers looked at each other. They looked at each other. The noise was like the buzzing of a fly. The soldier who was speaking thought for a moment before replying, "To be honest, I have no confidence."

"I'll give you guys this confidence." A fierce and domineering aura spontaneously emerged from Han Chen's body, and his pitch-black eyes revealed two bright rays of light.

"Now I will give you two choices. One is to continue to oppose me. Waiting until Xi Shaocheng led his troops to attack them, he made all of them look like good grandchildren. The other is to work together with me. Even if you know that you will lose, you must preserve the dignity of a soldier and of a man. "Let them know that the Donghu Army isn't the worst trash."

Han Chen's words were directly shouted out, and many soldiers were faintly moved from the bottom of their hearts. His blood began to boil and his morale started to rise.

Captain Jiao En was the first to agree with Han Chen: "We are real men, we are definitely not the same as those bastards."

The enthusiasm of the entire group was piqued immediately. Soldiers raised their arms high up in the air and shouted in unison, "Real men are not meant to be bastards."

A loud and clear voice resounded throughout the entire army camp, and Han Chen's face revealed a slight smile of understanding. The obstruction of this first step, was finally lifted under his persuasive power.

Half an hour later, in the camp's tent.

Han Chen and a few of his main soldiers were discussing battle plans around a map.

"Commander Han Chen, our military camp is ten kilometers away from Xi Shaocheng's. The military camp they were in was surrounded by mountains, and could be easily defended against. If we attack from the front, it will be very difficult to attack. " Captain Jiao En pointed to a location on the map.

"Captain Jiao En is right." Another thirty year old middle-aged general opened his mouth, "And our advantage is this East Lake. If they want to attack us directly, they have to cross the lake. We can ambush them on the surface of the water, but all of Xi Shaocheng's soldiers know how to dive. "

After listening to their analysis, Han Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes. That Xi Shaocheng was actually much stronger than expected. He actually trained so many soldiers.

At this moment, a soldier's report came in from outside the tent. General Zhao Bo is here. "

"Oh?" Han Chen could not help but be startled, but then the tent opened, and a robust middle-aged man walked in.

Jiao En and the rest of the generals immediately bowed, "Greetings, General Zhao Bo."

Zhao Bo waved his hand, and laughed loudly: "You guys go out first, I have something to speak with Han Chen alone."

"Yes, General." The few of them respectfully nodded their heads before leaving the battalion one after another.

Han Chen thought that he and Zhao Bo had never interacted before, and he had never seen each other before. He couldn't help but be surprised at his arrival.

"Hehe, weren't you used to coming here on the first day?" Zhao Bo said a few polite words.

"Not bad." Han Chen laughed, then casually removed the map on the table and poured the other party a cup of tea.

Zhao Bo was not the least bit polite and took a seat casually. Are you blaming me? "

"No, you, General Zhao Bo, as the most highly regarded minister of the emperor, naturally should have been rescued by him at any time. You did the right thing."

Hearing that, Zhao Bo's face immediately changed, he could naturally understand the other hidden meaning behind those words.

"Alright." Zhao Bo's eyes revealed a look of admiration, "With your wisdom, you wouldn't lose to Xi Shaocheng."

Han Chen only smiled and did not say a word.

That day in the throne room, Xi Shaocheng had publicly proposed to Qiao Hongyu, and with Xi Long as the leader, almost all the civil and military people in the imperial court were in favour of the marriage.

And at that time, Qiao Hongyu had obviously been in a dilemma. If they were to refuse, it would also affect Xi Shaocheng's mood and wouldn't be beneficial to the Three Kingdoms' Communication Station.

Zhao Bo understood that it was difficult for Qiao Hongyu, so he cleverly shifted the focus of this matter to the private grudge between Han Chen and himself.

This was also why Qiao Hongyu knew full well that Han Chen had never led troops to fight before. He even agreed to this battle.

The most respected minister of the emperor.

He was not just a warrior who was invincible on the battlefield. It was a person who could help their superiors solve their problems at every critical moment.

"I came here today to help you." Zhao Bo said.

"Help me?" Han Chen was slightly surprised.

"That's right, this is your first time leading troops after all, so the chances of victory against Xi Shaocheng is basically zero. I can give you advice and find the best way to fight. "

"Then why did you help me?"

Zhao Bo stood up, a look of helplessness emerging on his face. Xi Shaocheng had the bearing of a general even though he was young. He will definitely be a fierce general of my Yue Lan Empire in the future. However, it was because of this that he was so arrogant and overbearing. If he were to fight with Grand Seal Empire's army with this mentality, it would be hard for him to win. "
