Transmigration begins with archery training

Encouraged by the atmosphere, they all expressed their obedience.

"Are you all crazy?"

Seeing his brothers' excited state, Chu Shixiong, the deputy commander of Hongze Battalion, was at a loss for what to do.

"Junior brother?!"

Lu Ji was completely unprepared for this scene. He rode over on his fiery steed and asked, "What is the reason for this? The imperial decree has already been issued."

"Senior Brother, it's not that I'm unwilling to obey, but that I simply cannot!"

Chen Sanshi clasped his hands and said, “Look at the direction of Liangzhou. Nobody knows when the Blood Sacrifice Array will be fully refined. Even if my senior brother and I successfully break through Zhutuo Pass and open a gate of life just before it is completely refined, we cannot stop the refinement. We can only leave a very short time for people to evacuate. How many people can survive?!”

"So what?"

Lu Ji said matter-of-factly, “Junior brother, you must understand that His Majesty is currently in Liangzhou City, Master is also here, and there are nearly 100,000 troops. As long as we open the gate of life, at least Master, His Majesty, Junior Sister Sun Li, and Junior Brother Sun Buqi will be able to leave. As for the remaining brothers and civilians, we can leave as many as we can. Isn’t this the safest way?”

"Senior Brother, believe me, I'm definitely not taking a risk! I only have a 50% chance of success going to Zhutuo Pass, but I have more than 70% chance of success going to the barbarian capital. If you come with me, I have more than 80% chance."

Chen Sanshi said firmly, "If I weren't absolutely certain, why would I insist on doing this?"

Looking at the silent Lü Ji, he knew that the other party's thoughts were completely different from his own, so he simply stopped trying to persuade him.

"Leave!"

A sharp shout.

"Hongze Battalion, listen to my command!"

this time.

The 15,000 soldiers of Hongze Camp shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and earth and even trembling the ice and snow.

Subsequently.

One after another, well-fed and strong warhorses, leading soldiers clad in armor, entered the boundless northern desert in a disciplined and orderly fashion.

"General Chu! Don't hesitate any longer!"

Xia Cong urged, "Hurry and follow the army!"

"This is disobeying orders!"

Chu Shixiong reminded them, "Are you all crazy? The imperial edict clearly states that we are leading our army to Youzhou, not north, and certainly not to some barbarian capital thousands of miles away!"

The soldiers below, relying on their numbers, might not be punished individually.

But he's a deputy general!

One of the duties of a deputy general is to check and balance the commanding general, ensuring obedience to the imperial court's orders and preventing any mishaps.

This whole mess is outrageous!

"General Chu, is there anyone in the world more loyal than General Chen?!"

Xia Cong said earnestly, "General Chen was promoted by His Majesty! In previous battles, which one of them wasn't a mission taken in a time of crisis to share the burdens and difficulties for the court and His Majesty?"

"correct.

"And there's also on Ziwei Mountain."

"When the assassins attacked, General Chen risked his life to shield His Majesty from the blade!"

"On the night of the great chaos, it was General Chen who led our three thousand Xuanjia soldiers to storm into the palace to protect the emperor."

"Even on the battlefield, I have never seen General Chen injured."

"That very night, General Chen was covered in wounds, having been stabbed and stabbed countless times, his body drenched in blood. Even so, he still risked his life to protect His Majesty's safety."

"I saw all of this with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"

"General Xia is right."

Xiao Zheng added, "General Chen didn't disobey orders on purpose today; he clearly believes that this is the best way to rescue His Majesty from the crisis in Liangzhou!"

"Didn't the general say that if we listen to him, there's an 80% chance of saving His Majesty, but if we listen to General Lü, there's only a 50% chance?"

You Jike said, "I choose to believe the general."

"All right!"

Chu Shixiong himself had no conflict with Chen Sanshi.

He greatly admired the white-robed general, and after confirming that the general only wanted to better protect him, he had no reason to refuse and immediately agreed, leading his trusted men to follow the procession ahead.

"Junior brother!"

Nie Yuan rode up on his horse at full speed: "This is an imperial edict. You are defying His Majesty's orders. You should think carefully!"

"Moreover, taking over the barbarian capital is far more dangerous than going to Zhutuo Pass. If anything goes wrong, there will be no hope of redemption!"

Junior sister.

"Yes, Junior Sister Sun Li is still waiting for you to go back and get married. I'm looking forward to drinking your wedding wine!"

"Senior brother, I'll say it again! I am by no means a reckless or adventurous person. It's just that, according to my thinking, this approach does indeed offer a greater chance of victory. Shouldn't a general stick to his own insights and choose the strategy with the greater chance of success?"

Chen Sanshi said slowly and deliberately, "As for disobeying orders, a general in the field may not always obey military orders! His Majesty is trapped in Liangzhou City after all, and there are many situations he is unaware of."

"I will write a letter to His Majesty to explain things clearly later. His Majesty is a rare and wise ruler, and he will surely understand me!"

"I will also help explain and share the consequences with General Chen!"

During the conversation.

At the end of the line, Cao Zhi had somehow come over. He raised an eyebrow at the man in white, put a hand to his mouth, and whispered, "Brother, I'm betting my life on you!"

Seeing that no amount of persuasion could change his mind, the third senior brother Nie Yuan had no choice but to give up and watch helplessly as Hongze Camp gradually disappeared from sight.

"That's all."

Lu Ji sat high on his horse: "Junior brother is not a martial saint, and the Hongze Camp is not large. When attacking Zhutuo Pass, losing one of him will not make a difference. Let him go."

"Yes, General."

A lieutenant general from the Xuanwu Camp said, "This battle is the time for the general to truly make a name for himself! If you can relieve the crisis in Liangzhou with the troops of the two camps, and with the prestige you have accumulated over the years, you will surely win the hearts and minds of the entire Northern Liang army and inherit the mantle of the commander-in-chief in a natural way!"

"That Chen Sanshi is just the last disciple the Grand Marshal accepted, but he has become very popular in the past two years. A few days ago, some veteran generals were discussing in private who should succeed the Grand Marshal. Some of them even ranked him ahead of the generals."

"This is the perfect opportunity for them to see things clearly."

It's not just Chen Sanshi who has die-hard fans.

Lu Ji had fought for many years, and he had quite a few loyal soldiers under his command.

Lü Ji uttered two words indifferently: "Too talkative."

"This subordinate should die!"

The adjutant quickly slapped himself and stepped back.

"Actually, he's right."

Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan slowly said, "Some things are not up to Master to decide alone. Just because he wants to pass on his mantle to someone doesn't mean everyone will agree. Eldest Brother, you are the eldest disciple, and most people still respect you more. If you win this battle, it will be a great achievement. It's basically a done deal for His Majesty to appoint you as the Grand Coordinator."

"Moreover, our junior brother has never been defeated since joining the army, and it's time for him to suffer a setback and learn from it."

"I just hope he doesn't die deep in the desert."
