C355 Zhao Bo (1/2)

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.”
