Chapter 774
Zhu Huan stood up, hurriedly bowed to Lu Kang, Gao Biao and others, and followed Shen You to the bottom of the slope. Ma Chao and Pang De had prepared a war horse, but Zhu Huan was stunned. He came by a carriage and his clothes were not suitable for riding a horse. He pulled Shen You's sleeve and jumped up in a hurry. Shen You smiled and told Zhu Huan not to worry, he had already made arrangements. After a while, a four-wheeled carriage rushed over.
"Go in and change your clothes, my spare battle robe, I hope you don't dislike it."
"No, no." Zhu Huan was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. He opened the car door and asked Shen You to get on first. Shen You glanced at him and couldn't help laughing. He was one year older than Zhu Huan, and he had known each other for many years. He knew everything. He knew what Zhu Huan had. It was definitely the first time for Zhu Huan to open the door for him.
When the two got into the car, Shen You took off his wide-sleeved outerwear, changed into a close-fitting and tight-sleeved battle robe, and then put on a fish scale armor, which immediately became more heroic. He did not wear a helmet, took off his Jinxian crown, and changed into a long crown, which was seven inches long and three inches wide. He used bamboo as the inside and outside lacquered gauze, which was as slender as a plate, and it was very straight. Zhu Huan also took off his inner and outer brocade clothes and changed into a battle robe. He had no private armor, so he could only wear a set of zippers. Although it was also very good, compared with Shen You's fish scale armor, it was much worse, and he looked like Shen You's guard.
"Zizheng, when will the general go?"
"The general is not going, haven't you heard that? I will be in charge of the command today."
"What?" Zhu Huan screamed in surprise, raised his head and hit the roof of the car, tears almost falling from tears. He touched his head, stared at Shen You with tears in his eyes, staring at Shen You tightly, not believing what Shen You said.
Shen You raised his eyebrows and couldn't hide his compliment. Although he had a happy time with Sun Ce these days and was trusted by Sun Ce, he was as surprised as Zhu Huan when Sun Ce said yesterday that he wanted to take charge of the front line command. It was not because he was not sure - he participated in the entire pre-war meeting and knew that this command was not difficult, just follow the pre-set plan - but he didn't expect such good things to fall on him.
He knew that Sun Ce's arrangements for him were different from Guo Jia. He was not a military plan that gave advice, but a general who commanded the army and fought. He had good martial arts and was familiar with military tactics. After training around Sun Ce, he could lead the army at any time. He also made a lot of preparations for this. Every time the military proposal was discussed, he would set himself as a general to think about problems, so the suggestions he made were very popular with generals of various battalions. But he did not expect Sun Ce to let him be responsible for command so soon, and in his hometown Wuxian, in front of his elders.
This is an honor, and it is Sun Ce's great trust in him. In order to complete this task successfully, he discussed with Sun Ce alone after meeting. Guo Jia had a long time to prepare for all possible possibilities. With the full support of Sun Ce and Guo Jia, he was full of confidence.
Seeing Shen You's expression, Zhu Huan was envious and suspicious. "I think General Sun is either a genius or a madman, so he actually asked you to command this war. He was afraid that he would lose the ugly thing, so he deliberately asked you to go there, right?"
Shen You glanced at Zhu Huan. "Xia Cuckoo Can't Talk to Ice! Let's go, you will know when you arrive in front of the formation later."
The two got out of the car, turned over and rode towards the Ximen battlefield, accompanied by Ma Chao and Pang De. After walking a short distance, they entered the back formation. Shen You slowed down and walked slowly. Entering the battle formation, the atmosphere on the battlefield immediately became stronger. The neat battle formation, bright armor, and the cold eyes of the soldiers. Except for the battle flag being blown by the wind, the huge military formation was silent, making people involuntarily serious and dared not be at all. Zhu Huan followed Shen You, watched the generals he met along the way saluted Shen You, and watched Shen You constantly greet the soldiers along the way, boosting morale, envious, and his heartbeat also increased.
It would be great when I could be like Shen You.
When they arrived at the central army, the command platform was ready. Guo Jia was sitting on it, shaking his feather fan, with a relaxed expression. He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Zhu Huan following Shen You on the stage. Shen You hurriedly introduced it. Zhu Huan stepped forward to greet him, said a few words, then turned his eyes to the military formation. He was already excited when he was walking through the formation just now. At this moment, he was condescending, and the formation formed by thousands of soldiers was in his sight, and his momentum became even more intense, making him feel breathless.
This is what the general feels like.
Zhu Huan turned his gaze to the distance. The army commanded by Xu Gong was lined up, resisting the vanguard for 500 steps. The number of people was large, and the formation was even bigger. Zhu Huan became a little uneasy and secretly pulled Shen You's sleeve.
"How many people are there under General Sun's command?"
"Yicheng's infantry and cavalry, 4,000 guard camps, and more than 1,000 Ganning tribes, and more than 6,000 soldiers in total."
"What about... Xu Gong?"
Shen You glanced at the distance and said lightly: "There are about 10,000 people."
"Are you...n't you nervous?"
"What are you nervous? Just a group of mobs." Shen You snorted, waved his hand, and signaled Zhu Huan not to speak. "Brother Fengxiao, can you start?"
Guo Jia nodded. "Today is your commander. You have the final say when it will start." He raised his feather fan to cover the sun. "Strive to end the battle before noon. Today's sunshine is so good and a little dazzling. After covering it for so many days, it's finally white. Don't tan me anymore."
Zhu Huan almost laughed out loud. Shen You also laughed, raised his hand and ordered loudly. Although he was prepared and had done some exercises in private, his voice was still a little trembling and not very natural.
"Beat the drum! Get ready to attack!"
"Here!" The messenger responded loudly, waved the colorful flags in his hand, and issued an order. The drummer on the stage waved the drums and beat the cowhide drums. The powerful war drums exploded and spread to all directions. Soon, the front army responded, and the soldiers left the line and slowly rushed to the opposite side.
——
When Lu Kang heard the sound of war drums, he was surprised. "General, don't you go to command?"
Sun Ce smiled. "Mr. Lu, didn't Shen Zizheng say that just now? Today is commanded by him. My mission today is not to fight, but to chat with you, discuss how to revitalize the Wuhui, let scholars make good articles, let business make a lot of money, and let the people live a good life..."
Lu Kang waved his hands repeatedly and interrupted Sun Ce. "Wait, wait, what did you say just now, let Shen You direct this war?"
Shen Heng was also anxious, holding the desk with both hands, kneeling up, almost standing up. If Lu Kangzheng hadn't talked to Sun Ce, he would have been unable to help. He saw Shen You take Zhu Huan to the front line just now, and he thought that it was for Sun Ce to stand in front, and he was thinking that Sun Ce would leave, who would they talk to, but Sun Ce didn't expect that Sun Ce would not go at all, so he asked Shen You to command. Isn't this a mess? Shen You would have no experience in commanding combat, let alone this is a fierce battle with fewer attacks.
Sun Ce smiled even brighter. "Mr. Lu heard it right."
