Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Before he knew it, another half month had passed. Today was a sunny day, and Xiao Zuochen was standing in front of the bronze mirror putting on his armor.

"Hey~ Even though he looks so fragile wearing leather armor, he really looks like a young general~"

Chu Yao came in from outside and stood behind Xiao Zuochen. Xiao Zuochen looked at him through the bronze mirror and saw that Chu Yao was also dressed neatly, with hairpin, shoulder cape, shoulder belt and tiger-shaped military emblem on his chest, all carefully worn.

Xiao Zuochen fastened his belt and turned to face Chu Yao. Chu Yao came closer, put his hand on Xiao Zuochen's shoulder and faced the mirror with him.

"You see, we look like brothers."

Xiao Zuochen smiled.

"You're not nervous at all~"

"Why are you so nervous? It's just a battle between two armies. Don't worry, I, Yun Feng and the others are here on the battlefield, just be a good military advisor."

"But what I'm worried about is that despite all our precautions, we still missed something. After all, Cangyan Country is also full of talented people. Who knows if there are also people who are good at scheming in their army."

Chu Yao shrugged his shoulders. It wasn’t that he wasn’t worried at all, but he felt that such worrying was useless, and he trusted Xiao Zuochen very much.

"If there is no one on the other side who is good at scheming, I will be worried."

"why?"

Xiao Zuochen asked in confusion. Chu Yao looked at him in surprise when he heard him ask this, and then a strange smile appeared on his lips.

"Guess what?"

Chu Yao deliberately didn't say anything, which caused Xiao Zuochen to roll his eyes.

"Say it quickly!"

Whenever Xiao Zuochen did something, he would grab Chu Yao's ears. Chu Yao quickly stretched out his hand to block Xiao Zuochen's hand and answered obediently.

"The reason is very simple. As the saying goes, a master can be defeated by a random punch. If you are good at strategy and your opponent has no idea, then who are you going to strategy? So we are not afraid of the opponent being strong, we are only afraid that he is not strong enough!"

After hearing this, Xiao Zuochen did not feel better. Instead, he looked at Chu Yao with an indescribable expression.

"Thank you so much, you are so comforting~"

Chu Yao knew that Xiao Zuochen was playing tricks on him, but he still nodded slightly at him with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome. We are good brothers after all~"

"Woo——"

As the two were talking, a call for assembly suddenly sounded outside, and soldiers began to run outside the door. Chu Yao immediately walked to the door and stopped a soldier on his way to ask.

"Didn't we say we would gather again after lunch? Why are we gathering again suddenly?"

Yes, even Chu Yao and Xiao Zuochen were not expecting this sudden assembly horn.

"Reporting to General Chu, there has been a sudden intelligence report from the front that the Cangyan Kingdom has sent troops. Mr. Ying asked us to gather immediately! If the general has nothing else to do, I will go to the gathering first!"

Chu Yao nodded, and the little soldier ran away immediately.

Xiao Zuochen also walked to the door and stood side by side with Chu Yao.

"Since Mr. Ying received the tip-off, why didn't he inform us? Could it be that the soldiers of Cangyan Country have already reached the border of Tai'an City?"

Chu Yao shook his head. He certainly didn't know what Xiao Zuochen didn't know. However, their doubts didn't last long. In the few breaths they stayed there, Mr. Ying had already arrived under the city wall.

"Xiao Zuochen~Chu Yao~"

Mr. Ying's voice came from under the tower, and you could tell he was shouting hard. Xiao Zuochen and the other person walked out of the room and stuck their heads out from the tower, looking down, only to see Mr. Ying sitting in a wheelchair. Since he couldn't wave his arms, he smiled and shook his head to greet them.

Seeing this, Chu Yao whispered to Xiao Zuochen.

"It doesn't look like he has encountered any emergency. Look, he's still smiling~"

"Well, he is smiling indeed. It seems that the enemy is still far away. However, Mr. Ying actually came here in person, which means that the situation is still a bit tricky."

"No matter how difficult the problem is, it will be a piece of cake if we two personally handle it!"

Xiao Zuochen and Chu Yao looked at each other, and they both laughed at the same time.

Mr. Ying was at the bottom of the tower, so he couldn't hear what the two of them were whispering about, nor could he see their mouth shapes. But he was sure that the two of them must be talking about something upstairs.

"What are you two talking about? Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

"Nothing! We'll be right down!"

The two of them "pushed" each other down from the tower, and when they came in front of Mr. Ying, they both became serious. Mr. Ying shook his head helplessly.

"Look at you two. You're already at the age to start a family and build a career, but you're still fighting like little kids. You're about to go to the battlefield, so be serious!"

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Chu Yao immediately stood up straight. Xiao Zuochen on the side glanced at him with disdain.

"And you!"

Mr. Ying looked at Chu Yao, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Xiao Zuochen and said seriously. Xiao Zuochen was stunned. It was impossible for Mr. Ying not to see that Chu Yao was pretending, so why did he mention him?

"I don't care whether you are pretending or really meticulous, you should know that you are leading tens of thousands of Shura soldiers who have been strictly trained. Do you know what tens of thousands means?"

"It shows that you are very capable, sir. You were able to train a group of soldiers who can fight bravely in a short period of time!"

Chu Yao started to flatter the person, but unfortunately he didn't flatter the right person.

"wrong!"

Mr. Ying's voice was so loud that it even scared Xiao Zuochen and Chu Yao.

"Thousands and tens of thousands means that you will not only lead this number of Shura soldiers, but also tens of thousands of families! Each of them represents a family! And your behavior, your choices, and even a moment of thought may affect their future and their family! Moreover, if you want them to truly obey you, you must show your true ability. I don't care how you fight in private, but on the battlefield, you must show the demeanor of a leader!"

Mr. Ying's words made Xiao Zuochen and Chu Yao ponder for a few seconds, and soon Xiao Zuochen spoke.

"I understand what you mean, sir. We didn't do it well."

After Xiao Zuochen finished speaking, Chu Yao remained silent. However, Mr. Ying sighed deeply after hearing this.

"It's not that you didn't do a good job, it's that this incident caught you up. You haven't been on the battlefield before, and I'm worried that you can't control them."

"Zuo Chen understands your concerns, we will definitely try our best to do our best! Besides, we have you by our side to help us, he will never let us lose face~"

Mr. Ying was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled helplessly.

"You, you've been with Chu Yao for so long that you've learned to flatter him~ Forget it, it's getting late, let's go and meet up with the Shura Army!"
