Chapter 774: Child's Play

Zhu Huan got up, hurriedly bowed his hand to Lu Kang, Gao Biao and others, and followed Shen You with a meteor. When they came to the bottom of the slope, Ma Chao and Pang De had already prepared their horses, but Zhu Huan was a little dumbfounded, he came by car, and the clothes he wore were not suitable for horseback riding. He pulled Shen You's sleeve and jumped to his feet in a hurry. Shen You smiled and signaled Zhu Huan not to worry, he had already arranged it. After a while, a four-wheeled carriage arrived.

"Go in and change your clothes, my spare robe, I hope you don't dislike it."

"No, no." Zhu Huan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and took the initiative to open the car door and let Shen You go first. Shen You glanced at him and couldn't help laughing. He is one year older than Zhu Huan, he has known each other for many years, he is a friend who knows everything, he knows what kind of temper Zhu Huan has, and it is definitely the first time for Zhu Huan to take the initiative to open the door for others.

The two got into the car, Shen You took off his coat with wide sleeves, changed into a robe with tight sleeves, and put on a fish scale armor, which immediately added a little more heroic spirit. He didn't wear a helmet, took off the crown of Jinxian, and changed to a long crown, seven inches long and three inches wide, with bamboo as the inside, covered with lacquer yarn, slender as a version, and had the meaning of being upright. Zhu Huan also took off his inner and outer brocade clothes and changed into a battle robe. He didn't have private armor, so he could only wear a set of armor, although it was also very good-looking, but compared with Shen You's fish scale armor, it was much worse, and it looked like Shen You's guard.

"Zizheng, when is the general going?"

"The general is not going, didn't you hear, I am in charge of the command today."

"What?" Zhu Huan screamed, raised his head, and hit the roof of the car, so painful that tears were about to fall. He touched his head, stared at Shen You with a pair of teary eyes, and stared at Shen You, not believing what Shen You said.

Shen You raised his eyebrows, unable to hide his smugness. Although he gets along with Sun Ce happily these days and is deeply trusted by Sun Ce, when Sun Ce said yesterday that he would be put in charge of the front-line command, he was as surprised as Zhu Huan. It wasn't because he wasn't sure - he was involved in the whole process of the pre-war meeting, and knew that this command was not difficult, as long as it was carried out according to the pre-set plan - but he did not expect such a good thing to fall on his head.

He knew that Sun Ce's arrangement for him was different from Guo Jia's, not a military strategy who gave advice, but a general who commanded the army. He has a good martial arts body, and he is familiar with the art of war, and after training by Sun Ce's side, he can lead the army to fight at any time. He also made a lot of preparations for this, and every time he had to think about the problem as a general, his suggestions were very popular with the generals of all battalions. But he didn't expect Sun Ce to put him in charge of command so quickly, and it was in his hometown of Wu County, in front of his father.

This is an honor, and it is Sun Ce's great trust in him. In order to successfully complete this task, he discussed with Sun Ce and Guo Jia alone for a long time after the meeting, and prepared all possibilities as much as possible. With the full support of Sun Ce and Guo Jia, he is 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, and he actually asked you to command this war. He wouldn't be afraid that he would lose the battle and be ugly, so he deliberately let you go, right? ”

Shen You glanced at Zhu Huan. "Summer insects can't be spoken! Let's go, you'll know before the battle arrives. ”

The two got out of the car, turned over and got on their horses, and accompanied by Ma Chao and Pang De, galloped towards the Ximen battlefield. After walking a short distance and entering the rear formation, Shen You slowed down and walked slowly. Entering the battle array, the atmosphere on the battlefield immediately became thicker, the neat battle array, the bright armor, the indifferent eyes of the soldiers, except for the light sound of the battle flag being blown by the wind, the huge military array was silent, which made people involuntarily serious, and did not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest. Zhu Huan followed Shen You, watching the generals he met along the way saluting Shen You, watching Shen You constantly greet the soldiers along the way, boosting morale, envious, and his heartbeat also increased.

It would be nice to be like Shen You when I could be like you.

When they came to the Chinese army, the command platform was ready, and Guo Jia was sitting on it, shaking a feather fan with a relaxed expression. Seeing Zhu Huan follow Shen You to the stage, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Shen You hurriedly introduced it, Zhu Huan stepped forward to salute, and after a few cold words, he turned his gaze to the military formation. Walking through the formation just now, he was already excited, and at this moment, he was condescending, and the large array formed by thousands of soldiers was in full view, and the momentum was even more solemn, making him feel breathless.

That's how a general feels.

Zhu Huan cast his eyes into the distance, the army commanded by Xu Gong was arrayed, and the advance was rejected by five hundred steps, there were many people, and the formation was even larger. Zhu Huan became a little uneasy, and secretly pulled Shen You's sleeve.

"How many people are there under General Sun's command?"

"There are 600 righteous cavalry, 4,000 guards and battalions, and more than 1,000 Ganning troops, with a total of more than 6,000 soldiers."

"That'...... What about Xu Gong? ”

Shen You glanced at the distance and said lightly, "There are about 10,000 people." ”

"You...... Not nervous? ”

"Nervous about what? It's just a rabble. Shen You snorted, waved his hand, and motioned for Zhu Huan to stop talking. Brother Fengxiao, can you start? ”

Guo Jia nodded. "Today is your command on behalf of the general, when it starts, you have the final say." He raised his feather fan to shield himself from the sun. "Try to end the battle before noon, the sun is too good today, it's a bit dazzling. After covering it for so many days, it's easy to get whiter, don't tan me anymore. ”

Zhu Huan almost laughed out loud. Shen You also smiled, raised his hand, and ordered loudly. Although he had prepared for a long time and had done some exercises in private, his voice was still a little trembling and unnatural.

"Drumming! Prepare to attack! ”

"Whoa!" The herald answered loudly, waved the colored flag in his hand, and gave the order. The drummer on the stage waved the drum pole and beat the cowhide war drum, and the majestic war drum exploded and spread to all directions. Soon, the front army responded, and a song of soldiers came out of the ranks and slowly pressed towards the opposite side.

——

Hearing the sound of war drums, Lu Kang was surprised. "General, aren't you going to command?"

Sun Ce smiled. "Gong Lu, didn't Shen Zizheng say it just now, today is under his command, my task today is not to fight, but to chat with you, discuss how to revitalize Wuhui, let the scholars make good articles, let the businessmen make a lot of money, and let the people live a good life......"

Lu Kang waved his hand again and again, interrupting Sun Ce. "You wait, you wait, what did you just say, let Shen You command this battle?"

Shen Heng was also anxious, holding the case with both hands, kneeling up, almost standing up. If it weren't for Lu Kangzheng talking to Sun Ce, he couldn't help it. Seeing Shen You taking Zhu Huan to the front line just now, he thought it was for Sun Ce to fight the front station, and was thinking about who Sun Ce would talk to, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to go at all, so he let Shen You command. This is not nonsense, how can Shen You have the experience of commanding operations, not to mention that this is still a vicious battle with fewer strikes and more attacks.

Sun Ce smiled even brighter. "Lu Gong didn't hear it wrong."

"Nonsense, the two armies are fighting, can it be child's play?" Lu Kang was anxious and got up. "A few of us are gathered here for the stability of Wuhui, not to watch a few of you boys play." He flicked his sleeves and said sharply: "Don't say it again, hurry up and go to the front line to command the battle, we are waiting for you here, defeat Xu Gong, it's not too late to talk." ”
