C356 Action

After hearing what Zhao Bo had said, Han Chen's expression did not change in the slightest.

Zhao Bo continued to speak, "Right now, the battle between us and the troops of Grand Seal Empire is at hand, if Xi Shaocheng is still stubborn and headstrong, in the end, he can only be like me, and return with a crushing defeat."

"So you want to use my hand to remind him?"

"You could say that."

"Hur hur." Han Chen laughed, but shook his head resolutely, "General Zhao Bo, please go back!"

What? Zhao Bo was clearly startled, and looked at the other party with a little disbelief. What did you say? "

"This is something that I promised myself, there's no need for General Zhao Bo to worry. If others were to interfere, then there would be more people gossiping. "

With regards to Han Chen's reply, it had obviously exceeded Zhao Bo's expectations. Initially, he had thought that would excitedly ask for his permission, but not only did Han Chen appear cold, he had even rejected him directly.

"You have to think this through." Zhao Bo said with slight dissatisfaction.

"I have thought it through clearly. Whether victory or defeat, I wish to accomplish it myself. I appreciate your kindness, General. "

Since the words had already come to this point, Zhao Bo no longer needed to say anything else. He looked deeply at Han Chen, said a few words of "goodbye", and then left the camp.

Han Chen indifferently looked at the curtain which was opened then put down, a few traces of profoundness faintly seeped out from his clear and cold eyes. Towards Zhao Bo, he did not have any good impressions. Even if the final outcome was losing to Xi Shaocheng, he had to do it himself.

"General Zhao Bo, the commander?" Jiao En and the others walked in with questioning looks on their faces.

"Nothing." Han Chen acted as if nothing had happened, he looked at Jiao En and the others with a serious tone, "I will give the first order, all of you release a message."

The few of them could not help but be startled as they looked at each other in confusion, "What news?"

Teng Qingshan Barracks.

They were both an army of five hundred people, but they were considered a strong army in the Yue Lan Empire. Because they were trained by Xi Shaocheng.

Whether it was a land or a sea battle. Multi - point flowering, very comprehensive.

The Green Mountain camp was stationed at the top of a large mountain. There was a sentry stationed at every few dozen meters. Every four hours, they would rotate the patrolling troops. Compared to the East Lake Army camp that Han Chen had brought, the military discipline here was extremely strict.

Within the largest military tent in the center.

"General, the scout has sent us the latest news." A soldier reporting the news knelt down on one knee in front of Xi Shaocheng, his hands cupped together in a respectful manner.

"Speak." Xi Shaocheng replied indifferently.

"This morning, Han Chen went to the Eastern Lake Army Camp. Many soldiers didn't want to buy on his account, so no one was willing to listen to his commands. In the end, both sides even had a dispute with each other. Many of the soldiers were dissatisfied and their martial arts practice was very lazy. "

"Haha." Xi Shaocheng laughed complacently, "I knew it would be like this."

"General, this isn't all! After that, at noon, General Zhao Bo went to the Eastern Lake Army Camp to look for Han Chen. "

"Oh? Zhao Bo went to help him? " Xi Shaocheng frowned.

The messenger nodded, "Yes, General Zhao Bo did indeed say that he wanted to help him, but Han Chen rejected him. General Zhao Bo angrily flung his hands and left. The soldiers of the Eastern Lake Army were even more dissatisfied. There were even some soldiers who refused to participate in this battle.

Xi Shaocheng raised his eyebrows, his face was filled with a disdainful smile, "Haha, what a stupid thing. "If he can't even control the soldiers, then this battle doesn't even need to be fought, and he will lose without even fighting."

A middle-aged officer with a goatee on his chin stepped forward and said, "General, since that's the case, why don't we immediately send out our troops to attack the Yellow Dragon and charge into the depths of the Eastern Lake Army Camp."

"No rush." Xi Shaocheng squinted his cigarette and laughed disdainfully, "Three days later is the start of the battle as set by His Majesty. We have to prepare him for a crushing defeat, right?"

"The mighty general."

"Hahahaha." A wave of complacent laughter sounded out from within the campsite. As far as they were concerned, breaking into the Donghu Army campsite was an easy thing to do, and there wasn't any pressure to speak of.

Late at night, a crescent moon hid behind thick dark clouds.

The East Lake Army camp was completely silent. More than ten patrolling soldiers were patrolling the area symbolically. The soldiers who were in charge of the night watch were all leaning against their long spears and dozing off.

No one noticed that a black shadow had quietly walked out of a tent. His agility was like a cheetah, and without alerting any of the soldiers, he disappeared into the night in a few blinks of an eye.

The man moved quickly through the dark night. Half an hour later, a lake appeared before him. Then, the reflection of the lake's surface revealed a delicate and pretty young face.

This person was naturally Han Chen, he walked to the side of the lake and carefully inspected his surroundings with his cold eyes.

This lake was the only defense of the Eastern Lake Army camp, if Xi Shaocheng's army were to cross over. Then this battle was certain to be lost.

"This is the place." Han Chen retreated back to the shore and began to carry out his plan.

At this moment, a light sound came from the forest behind him. Han Chen's heart skipped a beat and shouted coldly, "Who is it?"

Immediately afterwards, light footsteps could be heard. Han Chen's expression became much more solemn. In the middle of the night, a tall and graceful figure appeared in Han Chen's line of sight. He had snow-white skin and fiery red hair that gave him a devilish appearance in the dark night.

Han Chen raised his eyebrows, and shouted in shock, "Yan Wu, why is it you?"

"Is there a problem?" Yan Wu replied indifferently.

"Hmm? This is unexpected, why are you here? "

"It's not Qiao Feiyan after all, she wanted me to bring you some pastries. I couldn't take her soft and hard words, so I could only be a errand runner!"

Han Chen froze for a second, only then did he realise that Yan Wu was still holding onto that unique bamboo basket.

Yan Wu walked over and handed the bamboo basket over. Han Chen took it, and removed the cloth cover. Two plates of delicate snacks were placed inside. On one of the pastries, there was a piece of paper.

"Huh?" Han Chen opened the slip of paper in surprise, and a line of small words entered his eyes.

"I made the dessert myself. Little Black and Yan Wu both said it was delicious, you try it too. It doesn't matter if you lose this battle. If you are fine, then I will be at ease. "

These simple words, in Han Chen's eyes, were like a warm current that flowed through his entire body.

"I really don't understand the two of you. It's just being separated for a few days! "It's as if he's dead or alive." Yan Wu curled his lips.

Han Chen rolled her eyes in annoyance, "You don't have anyone you like, so you naturally don't know what it means to spend your days like a year."

"You're still living like a year, why can't I see what exactly makes you like me?"

Han Chen had long gotten used to Yan Wu's bickering. He casually picked up two pieces of pastries and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing on them as he spoke, "I'm not going to tell you anymore, I still have business to attend to right now. Since you are here, help me observe the surroundings and see if there are any spies sent by Xi Shaocheng. "

This situation was actually rather low. When Han Chen came out, he did not even disturb the people in his own camp, so Xi Shaocheng's group was even more clueless.

"What do you want to do here?" Yan Wu casually asked.

Han Chen raised his handsome brows as a hint of mysteriousness flashed past his eyes. "Hehe, it's a secret."

"You are asking for a beating." Yan Wu rolled her eyes at her opponent, and at the same time raised the corner of her mouth in a shallow arc.

The next day, there were only two days left before the start of the battle.

Green Mountain Army's camp, Xi Shaocheng's tent.

"General, something big happened at the East Lake Army camp again." The soldier who delivered the message hurriedly walked in with an excited expression.

At this time, Xi Shaocheng was planning for the distribution of troops for the communication station with the Grand Seal Empire not long after. When he saw the soldiers enter, he didn't even bat an eye. "Speak."

"Reporting to General, this morning Han Chen organized the soldiers' training, and those soldiers did not even bother to pay for it. After that, Han Chen had also injured a soldier, which had caused all of the soldiers to be unhappy. On the spot, more than a hundred soldiers chose to leave the military camp because they refused to participate in the war. "

"Oh?" Xi Shaocheng replied softly, the brush in his hand was still drawing on the map. Then, what reaction does Han Chen have? "

"Han Chen was so angry that he almost jumped off his feet. He even dared to force those soldiers, if anyone dares to abandon the fight and leave, then they will be punished by martial law and executed in public."

"Did he really do that?" Xi Shaocheng's voice was indifferent.

"Yes, he did execute a soldier." However, this action of his caused even more soldiers to feel dissatisfied. Many of them left the army camp one after another. "

Xi Shaocheng sneered, "Truly a fool. How could Princess Fei Yan fall for such an idiotic person? Continue to monitor the situation closely and report back immediately if anything happens. "

"Yes, General!"

From the start to end, Xi Shaocheng did not take this matter to heart, "Once my exchange with the Grand Seal Empire has returned victorious, who would oppose the marriage between me and the princess?"

Over the next two days, the number of soldiers in the Donghu Army Camp steadily decreased. Seeing that the war was about to break out, the total number of soldiers in the army actually didn't reach two hundred.

The conflict between Han Chen and the army became more and more intense. At the end, even Jiao En and the other captains no longer listened to Han Chen's orders.

The news about the East Lake Army and the Green Mountain Army spread to the imperial palace.

Hearing this news, the emperor, Qiao Hongyu, shook his head continuously. He never thought that Han Chen was even worse off than he imagined. He immediately made up his mind that he couldn't let Qiao Feiyan be with him.

Finally on the third day, in the imperial capital's Hall of Golden Chimes, the civil and military officials of the imperial court were gathered.

A marquis that was passing the news back and forth said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Green Mountain camp has sent the news." General Xi had already summoned his troops and was preparing to attack the Donghu Battalion. Five hundred people out, four hundred down. "
