Chapter 125 Going to the battlefield
Zhan Shijun and Zhan Shixuan had become very close in the military camp.
He looked at Zhan Shixuan who had already walked away, and Zhan Shijun quickly quickened his pace to catch up with him, and asked curiously: "Brother, are you really in love with Lu Yi?"
Zhan Shixuan turned his head abruptly, his eyes firm and fiery, and responded solemnly: "That's right, Shijun, listen to me, I really love Lu Yi, and I love her so much that I can only love her."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took another step forward, leaving Zhan Shijun standing there in shock.
Zhan Shijun opened his eyes wide, his face full of suspicion, and he was completely at a loss.
At this moment, he really found it difficult to judge whether this matter was right or wrong, and he didn't know what mentality he should use to deal with it.
After all, his brother actually fell in love with his ex-wife!
So what should he do? Should he go and have a fight with his big brother?
No, no, no, Lu Yi and I had divorced long ago and were no longer husband and wife.
Yes, they have already separated... However, the problem is that when the eldest brother fell in love with Lu Yi, they had not yet divorced!
A series of complicated thoughts flooded into his mind, and Zhan Shijun felt like his head was about to explode.
However, he had no time to think about it because he heard a rapid and loud drumbeat from afar, which was like thunder that broke through the sky and was deafening.
Zhan Shixuan and Zhan Shijun, both of whom were currently serving as generals, knew that something serious must have happened when they heard the news. So without any hesitation, they quickly rushed to the battlefield.
When the two men ran to their destination breathlessly, they saw General Zhou standing in front of them with a serious expression, and several generals stood beside him.
General Zhou stood on the high platform and said, "We just received an urgent war report. The enemy is coming fiercely and is approaching us. At this critical moment, which general is willing to step forward and serve as the vanguard to meet the enemy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Shixuan stepped forward and answered loudly: "I am willing to lead my troops to the battle!"
His voice was sonorous and powerful, full of firmness and confidence.
General Zhou stared at Zhan Shixuan, with a barely perceptible admiration in his eyes.
"Okay!" General Zhou shouted, "In that case, Zhan Shixuan will lead a thousand elite troops and set off immediately! We must give the enemy a head-on blow!"
Zhan Shixuan clasped his fists and saluted to show that he accepted the order and thanked the emperor. Then he turned to face the soldiers behind him and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me to fight the enemy!" For a moment, the crowd was excited and the soldiers responded one after another, following Zhan Shixuan to set off.
Zhan Shijun was conflicted, but decided to support his elder brother.
"General Zhou, I am willing to fight!" Zhan Shijun stepped out, saluted with his fists, and shouted loudly.
Zhan Shixuan was shocked when he saw this. He quickly reached out to hold his brother and persuaded him in a low voice, "No, second brother. You are father's legitimate son and have a noble status. How can you take risks so easily?"
However, Zhan Shijun did not back down and responded with a firm face: "If my elder brother can go, why can't I go? A real man should take it as his responsibility to defend his country and fight bravely against the enemy!"
Zhan Shixuan frowned and continued to persuade him earnestly: "You and I have a deep brotherly friendship, but because of this, I cannot let you take this risk. You just need to stay in the barracks and wait for my victorious return."
Zhan Shijun still wanted to argue, but Zhou He interrupted and said, "Generals, listen to my orders!" For a moment, everyone in the tent stood in silence.
General Zhou swept his eyes over the crowd and finally landed on Zhan Shixuan. He said in a deep voice, "Zhan Shixuan, listen to my orders. I now appoint you as the vanguard general. Lead 20,000 elite soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy immediately. Make sure to give the enemy a head-on blow!"
Zhan Shixuan responded loudly: "Understood sir!" When he turned around, he and Zhan Shijun looked at each other, their eyes full of concern.
Zhou He naturally understood the stakes involved - going to the battlefield to fight was undoubtedly a matter of life and death. If both of Zhan Shuo's sons died on the battlefield, it would not only be a heavy blow to the Zhan family, but also detrimental to the country. Moreover, as Zhan Shixuan said, Zhan Shijun, as the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo, shouldered more responsibilities and could not afford any mistakes.
Thinking of this, Zhou He sighed inwardly, hoping that this expedition could successfully defeat the enemy and allow these young generals to return safely.
