Xiang An sat up from the bed frame and opened his eyes.
He sighed, but was stunned involuntarily.
Why do you sigh?
He shook his head, got out of bed, put on his armor, walked out of the tent and looked east, but it was still dark.
Xiang An's eyes were the only thing that shone in the darkness of dawn.
Now that King Huai Xiong Xin has established his capital in Xutai, the meeting in Xue County has also ended hastily. The next step is how to fight against Zhang Han after the fall of Wei.
During the night attack on Linji, one of the kings of Qi and the king of Wei committed suicide, and only three thousand of the tens of thousands of Chu troops who aided Wei escaped. Zhang Han powerfully declared to the Central Plains that Qin was tough and invincible, making the princes of all walks of life panic.
Xiang An couldn't help but squint his eyes.
It's really sad that such a general is serving such an emperor.
While thinking, Xiang An heard what seemed like the sound of a weapon being waved.
Following the sound of the wind, I found out that it was Zi Juan doing her morning exercises.
A spear was waved and the wind roared, raising several ounces of wind and sand.
Zijuan's younger brother Zihuai stood not far away, silently watching his sister's spear dance, rubbing her hands unnaturally.
Now all the generals have not left Xue County, so Zi Huai is still with Zi Juan. However, Xiang An heard from Zi Juan that Zi Huai still seems to want to follow Liu Ji.
"How is it? Your sister is a pretty dancer, isn't she?" Xiang An stood next to Zi Huai and asked with a smile.
Xiang An is more than 1.9 meters tall, while Zi Huai is less than 1.7 meters tall.
"...Hmm." Zi Huai mumbled and just nodded without replying.
Xiang An shrugged, he knew that the child didn't like him, even hated him.
He doesn't intend to warm up to his cold butt. He is in a bad mood right now.
Sitting aside, watching Zijuan dance with her spear, Xiang An was thinking about his next strategy.
The current location of the Western Chu army is Xuexian County in the east of Surabaya, and Huling, the largest city in the east of Surabaya, was originally the first target of Xiang Liang's battle, but Huling had already surrendered to Xiang Liang when Liu Ji passed by.
It was recovered smoothly, so the next step of the battle center will naturally be to move westward.
To the west of Surabaya, there are several large cities such as Kangfu, Changyi, and Chengwu. They were originally the boundaries of the Wei State. Now that the Wei State is gone, Xiang Liang will naturally not be polite to these cities, and these cities are further west
, is Wenshui, a tributary of the river. Xiang Liang previously said that it would be used to build Dingtao to resist Zhang Han's defense line. Chengyang and Xiangcheng are on the west bank of Wenshui.
"Huh..." Putting the spear aside, Zijuan finished her morning exercises, grabbed the linen towel thrown aside and wiped the sweat on her face.
She touched Zi Huai's head, then looked at Xiang An: "Where to fight next, second brother?"
She licked her slightly dry lips, with a hint of exhaustion in her expression.
Xiang An noticed this hint of fatigue and couldn't help but lower his eyes slightly.
Not only Zijuan was tired, but he was also tired. The whole army was tired of veteran soldiers.
Since the war started, all of them have had no free time. Marching, fighting, marching, fighting have completely become the main theme of their lives.
Even when their "hated" academic teacher Wu Ku died in Linji, they had no time to grieve. Instead, they had to ask the first thing they asked when they opened their eyes and faced each other: "Where to fight next?"
"When we attack Changyi, we will also attack other counties along the way." Xiang An replied, "The troops are divided into four groups, cross the Surabaya River and fight towards the Wenshui River. The faster we fight, the better."
"Zhang Han has recaptured Linji and the Wei state has collapsed. His next step will definitely be one of Qi and Chu. We must act quickly."
Zi Juan nodded and turned to look at Zi Huai: "A Shu, are you going with your sister?"
Zi Huai was in a daze minding his own business. When he looked at Zi Juan's expectant eyes, he subconsciously shrank back and shook his head.
"I'd better go to General Liu's side..." He broke away from Zijuan's hand with an unnatural smile on his face.
Looking at Zi Huai running away, Zi Juan stretched out a hand, as if wanting to retain her.
"What's wrong with Ashu?" Xiang An asked with a frown.
Zijuan took back her hand and sighed: "I...I don't know, he seems to be avoiding me recently, but it's not that he wants to avoid me, but...
It makes me feel that he wants to look at me, but doesn't want me to get close to him."
"...We are about to set off, why don't you go look for him again?" Xiang An can also see what Zijuan can see, "It's obvious that he doesn't hate you, it's just that he doesn't like you.
Something is on my mind."
Zi Juan turned her head and glanced east.
The sky is already mostly bright, and a red sun is about to emerge from the sky.
"No need." Zijuan shook his head, "We're going to march soon. I'm going to order the troops. We should be able to cross the Surabaya River if we hurry up today."
Looking at the back of Zi Juan as he left, and then looking twice at the direction in which Zi Huai left, Xiang An shook his head.
"These siblings..."
After that, he also walked in the direction of his tent.
Zijuan is right. Now, marching is more important.
...
Zi Huai squatted in his tent, holding his head and trembling.
What happened to me? What happened?
Shouldn’t I miss my sister very much and love my sister very much? But why, now——
Will it be like this?
I desperately want to follow my sister, I desperately want to be close to my sister, but as long as I am cared about by my sister, I will be frightened, panic, run away, and tremble.
You may even feel like vomiting.
"Why, why is this happening... It's obviously my sister, it's obviously my sister..." Zi Huai's body was shaking violently, and there was heartbreaking pain in her tone.
Wanting to care for my sister, wanting to love my sister, why did all this come to nothing after they reunited?
He swallowed hard and gritted his teeth.
A certain figure seemed to appear in front of him.
"Look, you are just this kind of person." The figure seemed to be saying this with a strange smile.
"Look, your love for your sister is just that." The figure seemed to be getting closer.
"...Stop talking." Zi Huai sobbed helplessly.
"Are you jealous?"
"Jealous that your sister has a better life than you."
"I'm jealous that your sister now has other people around her to protect her and shelter her."
"These are your privileges originally? Don't you think so?"
"...Stop talking!" Zi Huai's angry voice came out from between his teeth.
"It's so sad, Ashu, it's so sad." The man had already leaned into Zi Huai's ear and said word by word, "Compared to your sister, you who were adopted by me——"
"It's really, really sad."
"Did I tell you to stop talking!!!"
Zheng——
The tent was turned into pieces.
Zi Huai was standing there, holding two daggers in his hands, his eyes were red, and he was breathing heavily.
