Transmigration begins with archery training

Wang Zhi was taken aback.

"Oh."

Xu Wencai explained, "I overheard you calling me 'Senior Brother' by chance last time, so I made this deduction. This matter is of great importance, so please do not hide anything from me, Lord Wang."

Wang Zhi said seriously, "Go on."

"Is such that……"

Xu Wencai recounted the whole story in detail.

"Is this kid trying to repeat my mistakes?"

After listening, Wang Zhi's brows furrowed so deeply that they almost formed a "川" shape, and he murmured, "I understand, I'll stop him no matter what!"

……

the other side.

After lying on the map for a long time, Yu Song finally understood. He picked up the map while cursing and went to look in the direction Chen Sanshi had left earlier. Finally, he found Chen Sanshi sitting on a big rock by a stream, looking dazed.

"General Manager Chen, what are you doing hiding here?"

Yu Song sat down next to him, quietly took out a water pouch from his pocket, opened it, and smelled it: "Guess what this is?"

"liquor?"

Chen Sanshi didn't even need to look closely; the moment the cork was opened, he smelled the enticing aroma of the wine.

"Yes!"

Yu Song proudly introduced, "This wine is called 'Drunken Saint,' and it's said that even a Martial Saint would get drunk after just a few sips. It's very expensive; one water bag like this costs several hundred taels of silver!"

"I brought this with me when I set off from Liangzhou. I originally planned to share it with my brothers after we won the battle, but who knew that the battle would last for half a year and I still haven't had a chance to taste it."

"Want some?"

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi didn't stand on ceremony, grabbed the water bag and took a sip.

This wine is a medicinal wine, made by soaking exotic beasts in it. After swallowing it, his whole body felt burning hot. He started to feel a little tipsy after just one sip. It was the first time he had ever drunk such a strong wine. No wonder it was called 'Drunken Saint'.

"Hahaha!"

Yu Song laughed and snatched the water pouch, taking a big gulp as he endured the spiciness of the strong liquor while spreading the map out in front of him.

He pointed to the map and said, "Commander Chen, I just took another good look at our marching route from beginning to end after we arrived in Mingzhou. You are simply amazing. I didn't know until I looked at it that you have been leading everyone to play tricks on our hundreds of thousands of troops all along."

"I reckon they're all furious, especially Dong An. He's a famous man; losing a battle is more painful for him than losing his life, let alone the fact that we only have a little over three thousand men."

Chen Sanshi remained silent.

"Why aren't you saying anything, kid? Are you looking down on me? I've been in the military for so long, and I've even risen to the rank of brigade commander. I know a thing or two about military strategy!"

Yu Song continued gesturing with his hands, saying, "The reason you left the two of us behind to cover your retreat this time is because the feint attack didn't work, right?"

Chen Sanshi did not deny it.

"Once or twice is acceptable, but not a third or fourth time! If the same trick is used too often, even a pig would understand, let alone a living person!"

"Neither Dong An nor Liang Jinian from Meishan are incompetent; otherwise, Liang wouldn't have received some divine treasure. Therefore..."

Yu Song emphasized, "We can no longer feign an attack. Only a real offensive can draw more troops over, thus creating a situation where Meishan Prefecture's troops are depleted."

"But how can we convince the brilliant Liang Jinian and Dong An that we are really fighting and not just pretending?"

"Nothing is more convincing than the commander-in-chief appearing at Luotian Pass."

"That's why you asked the two of us to stay behind and cover for the rear."

"See? My analysis was correct, wasn't it? All those years of fighting weren't for nothing!"

Chen Sanshi nodded: "General Yu's words are exactly correct."

"Great! Great! What's this called? It's called creating opportunities when there aren't any!"

Yu Song exclaimed, "General Chen is truly a brilliant strategist, a commander-in-chief whose talent is rare indeed!"

“I’ve always felt that you will become the top figure in the Eighth Battalion in the future, and it’s not impossible for you to surpass General Lü. The future of the Eighth Battalion rests on your shoulders.”

"but……"

Speaking of it.

Yu Song abruptly changed the subject, suddenly rushing over and grabbing Chen Sanshi's collar, saying viciously, "I was wrong, you're a fucking coward, a coward!"

"Commander Yu..."

Chen Sanshi was somewhat bewildered by the other party's sudden change.

"Chen Sanshi!"

Yu Song roared, his eyes bloodshot: "I'm asking you, what is the task and responsibility of a qualified general, a qualified commander of troops?"

"You're not going to tell me?"

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

"A general must achieve strategic objectives while minimizing losses!"

"It's that simple!"

"That one sentence is enough!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Commander Yu..."

Chen Sanshi's gaze was complicated: "I don't understand what you mean."

"You're still playing dumb with me!"

Yu Song shoved him to the ground and cursed him without any politeness: "I'm enough to cover your retreat, why did you come along? Is it because your plan requires me to die to succeed, so you can't bear to do it, you feel guilty, you think you're the one who killed me! Is that right? Answer me!"

"Correct!"

Chen Sanshi admitted it.

Since he joined the army, he had never deliberately sacrificed the lives of his brothers to achieve victory, especially so many lives.

Of course, he wasn't really going to his death. With his strange fire and sword qi technique as trump cards, there was still a chance he could survive, it was just that the risk was quite high.

"A cowardly act, a woman's kindness!"

Yu Song's eyes revealed disdain: "If this matter were handled by General Fang or Commander Sun, what do you think they would decide? They would leave me behind without hesitation and then lead the army to attack Meishan Prefecture!"

"If my death can bring victory to this battle, then I, as a lieutenant general, will have made a huge profit. There has never been such a worthwhile record in history!"

"Let me tell you, if our positions were switched, I would send you to your death instead of dawdling here like a woman!"

"I'm asking you a question!"

"If you stay and die with me, can Lu Shuhua and the others really complete the mission? Are they really capable?"

"That Xu Wencai is capable, but he's still not even as good as a regular soldier. On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes. If he dies, who will be able to command? Are the rest of the men up to the task?"

"If things get chaotic and we fail to capture Meishan Prefecture, wouldn't all of us have died in vain?"

"The fact that you could devise this plan means you know these things better than I do. How can you be so irresponsible? Do you know how precious your life is? Even if you were to die, you should die on the way to attack Meishan Prefecture, not at Luotian Pass!"

Chen Sanshi closed his eyes: "You're right."
