Chapter 415 I Want to Rebel
The emperor personally issued an edict, and after hearing it, Yan Qing and others quickly returned to their base.
Chen Changan watched the originally playful crowd gradually walk away, and was a little dazed while sitting in the carriage.
"Chen Lang, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Qingcheng keenly noticed that Chen Changan was in a low mood and asked curiously.
"I just remembered it after receiving the emperor's decree."
Chen Changan shook his head and sighed: "It was the same situation at the beginning. I was also like this. I received an invitation from Xiao Zhennan to quell the rebellion of the Red Flower Society."
Zhao Qingcheng giggled, "I know about this. You encountered thieves at Blue Moon Lake. That was the first time that young man fought, and the advantage of his weapons was shown. It's still being spread among the people."
"Yes, this is what makes me embarrassed!" Chen Changan spread out his palms.
"Qingcheng, you know my background. I am obviously a scholar. How could I have read so many books on military strategy? It's OK for me to command a few thousand soldiers, but once it's large, I will lose my order."
"The Emperor is asking me to go back and participate in the discussion. Does he...want to destroy the country?"
"I think you're overthinking, Chen Lang." Zhao Qingcheng shook her head and said.
"We're only going to discuss how to deal with the threat from Xixia, but we're not going to ask you to go to the battlefield. Besides, if you really go to the battlefield, you definitely won't be the marshal."
"You have no way to escape. Did you see the desire in Yue Shan and the others' eyes?"
"I saw it." Chen Changan shook his head and sighed, "They all entrusted their lives to me, and what if I failed them?"
"From the day they gave their lives to you, they were willing to give everything for you."
Zhao Qingcheng shook her head and said, "To be honest, no woman doesn't want to live a peaceful life, and no one wants a husband to risk his head, but you are different."
"Wouldn't it be fine if you just stayed calm and continued to be the Prince of Huainan?"
"Having come this far, you have no choice but to keep moving forward."
Chen Changan moved his lips but had nothing to say.
Maybe what Zhao Qingcheng said was right, but he could kill his way to the border, but Chen Fusheng was still far away, what if he led his troops to rebel?
Don't think about it anymore. Now I can only take one step at a time.
Chen Changan hugged Zhao Qingcheng, and after three days of travel, they finally returned to the Chen Mansion.
After settling Zhao Qingcheng in the government office to rest, ** An changed into a suit of armor and rode his Arabian horse to the military camp with Lao Ma.
The central military camp of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was in Qingfeng Town, not far from the imperial capital, and the entire town was a military camp.
On one side, there are shouts of war, and on the other side, training is in full swing.
The soldiers were all in high spirits, sweating profusely, and every move they made was full of power.
The training ground was dusty, but it could not conceal the determined fighting spirit in their eyes. Slogans rose one after another, as if announcing their determination to the world.
Chen Changan and Lao Ma slowed down their pace and looked at the soldiers as they walked.
Most of these people are new recruits with no organization, and the country's military budget is a bit tight, so they don't look very strong.
Chen Changan even thought about whether he should take out some silver and give it to the emperor so that he could reward the army.
When they arrived at the central military tent, the gatekeeper saw Chen Changan and immediately showed joy on his face.
"Master Chen, you are back?"
Xu Polu stood there, his expression frozen for a moment, and then an irrepressible look of surprise welled up in his eyes.
That look of surprise and joy was like a flower suddenly blooming in spring, with surprise spreading across his brows. He had never expected that Chen Changan could survive such a desperate situation.
Joy spread quickly like a tide, filling his entire face with a bright glow.
"of course."
Chen Changan patted Xu Polu. After not seeing him for a few months, the young man looked stronger and had grown into a real soldier.
Chen Changan felt very happy: "Seeing you grow up, I feel that I am old and useless."
Xu Polu was speechless: "Master Chen, how old are you? How can you be considered old?"
"The country is in a good period of development. I am waiting for you to lead us to the battlefield, drive out the Tartars, and restore our Great Chu!"
Xu Bolu's voice became a little louder, and its voice could be heard at the central army tent.
Li Wuling's voice came majestically: "What's the matter?"
Xu Polu quickly leaned forward and reported: "General, I am here as ordered by Master Chen Changan!"
"Please!"
Li Wuling's head of white hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and the traces of time were clearly visible on his body.
His snow-white hair seemed to tell of the vicissitudes he had experienced, but his eyes remained firm, revealing an indomitable will.
He was followed by a dozen generals, all of whom were vigorous and energetic, exuding vigorous vitality.
Their postures are tall and straight, like towering mountains, and it seems that nothing can stop them from moving forward.
They looked back at Chen Changan together, with different emotions revealed in their eyes.
There is admiration, joy and expectation.
Chen Changan walked into the big tent and bowed to Li Wuling, "General Chen Changan, I greet you, old general!"
Seeing that although Chen Changan had disappeared for more than a month, his mental state was still good, Li Wuling nodded with satisfaction.
"Changan, do you understand now?"
"You are rich and a pillar of the country. You are not safe anywhere."
"Never leave Lao Ma even a step from now on."
Chen Changan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and could only nod vigorously.
"Come, come and see. You should know why the emperor asked you to come. Look."
Li Wuling pointed at a map with a serious expression. The map showed the scenes of various towns along the border.
In the picture, the valleys are crisscrossed, as if the earth was split by a huge axe, deep and steep.
Some of those valleys are winding and tortuous, like giant pythons crawling on the ground; some are steep and dangerous, like sharp swords piercing the sky.
There are punctuation marks scattered among the valleys, like bright pearls inlaid in this vast land.
Chen Changan was a little confused: "What... is this?"
"I'll answer."
Yan Qing was dressed in military uniform, looking extremely heroic.
The exquisite armor fit her body tightly, outlining her tall and agile figure.
She wore a helmet with red tassels swaying gently in the wind. Under the helmet, her eyes were firm, like an eagle's, revealing her fearless courage.
There was a black belt around his waist with a sword hanging from it. The gem on the hilt was shining with a mysterious light.
Yan Qing didn't waste any words and explained to Chen Changan: "This is a sign of Xixia's recent troop movements. This is the four cities of our country, winding for nearly a hundred miles."
"Jiaohe Ancient City, Shule City, Yanqi City, and Tian City. These circles and dots are the marching routes of the Western Xia Kingdom."
"Based on their intentions, they are likely to launch attacks on our four cities simultaneously."
Chen Changan did not comment, raised his eyebrows and said: "How many soldiers does Xixia have, and how many do we have?"
"Western Xia has not fought with our country for three years. It may have a million soldiers now, while our country only has more than 300,000 veterans and more than 300,000 new soldiers."
New recruits are not allowed to go to the battlefield, as this will affect the morale of veteran soldiers.
In other words, three to one.
"Even if the Xixia people want to divide their forces and attack our Great Chu together, Miss Yan, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Yan Qing shook his head: "Master Chen, this is in the military camp, please call me General Yan."
"Got it, Miss Yan."
Everyone laughed out loud, and Yan Qing ignored Chen Changan: "The enemy is coming in groups, and I plan to deal with them by dividing the troops. What I am thinking is that Chu Xinghe, you, and I will each lead 70,000 troops and station in three cities respectively."
"With the old general in the middle to coordinate, I don't think Xixia will have the courage to attack us."
Chen Changan didn't say anything, just kept nodding.
The generals around started discussing the issue again. Since there were not many soldiers to begin with, dividing the troops might have advantages, but it might also have disadvantages, and everyone held his own opinions.
Everyone discussed for a long time but could not come to a conclusion.
Finally, Li Wuling asked with concentration: "Chang'an, what do you think?"
Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled: "I have never been to the border, so I don't understand the actual situation there, so if I am right or wrong, I hope everyone can understand."
"I understand. Miss Yan wants to send all the soldiers out and only leave the new soldiers to guard the capital."
"But I want to ask Miss Yan, what if I want to rebel?"
"How will Miss Yan respond?"
