Cai Yan is very kind, after all, Bai Tong is such a son, if there is any accident, my sister is so sad, I am afraid that it will not be easy to follow the emperor Zhang Lang.

But what he didn't expect was that after Zhang Xing listened, he bowed his head and bowed, he felt that the queen supported his military affairs, but also put forward a request, that is, he did not enter the Jinyi Guard, but to start from the most ordinary soldier, he must first be a good soldier, experience their life, so that he can have the opportunity to become a real general with soldiers like a son in the future.

Zhang Xing had such an idea, which really surprised Cai Yan and Bai Tong, but looking at the resolute face, the two of them also knew that they were afraid that they would not be able to adapt now.

In the end, Zhang Xing finally became a soldier, and he was really an ordinary soldier, and his identity was also concealed.

Originally, when he was an ordinary soldier, after a few days of hardship, he would retreat and change his mind, but he never thought that this would be more than a year, not only that, Zhang Xing relied on his own efforts and performance from a soldier to a squad leader, and was promoted to platoon commander, company commander until now battalion commander.

Zhang Xing's promotion will be so fast, which naturally has a certain relationship with his identity, at least the so-called review of qualifications will not be difficult for him. But it also has a lot to do with his hard work.

It was precisely because Zhang Xing was so good that when his army arrived in Luoyang City, he was received by Guo Jia, a member of the first grade.

Who Zhang Xing is, maybe others don't know, but those corps commanders and military advisors are clear, as a first-class member, Emperor Zhang Chao's frequent guest Guo Jia is very clear. Because he received more than once a secret letter from the queen and Concubine De to take care of Zhang Xing.

Guo Jia also agrees with Zhang Xing's military service. Because regardless of this person's origin or his rank among the princes, it is destined that it will be difficult for him to inherit the unification, even if this is the case, it is better to develop in the military circles, so that the country will be more stable and solid if there is one scholar and one military force among the brothers.

Because of this, Guo Jia also wanted to find an opportunity to mention Zhang Xing, and this time he was able to meet in Luoyang, and it was just when Dongwu wanted to send troops, so he asked this person's opinion.

Zhang Xing was asked by Guo Jia, but he was not afraid at all, but said in a very confident tone: "Lord Guo, the so-called soldiers will block, and water will cover the earth, there is nothing to worry about. As I said, before my father went to Rus, he had already arranged enough troops to deal with Soochow, and if it was really a fight, we would not be afraid of anything. But..."

"But what?" Guo Jia asked curiously.

"But the question now is, is there really going to be a war with Soochow? After all, it is Hua Guifei's family, if the sword and soldiers really meet, Hua Guifei is so self-contained. My little brother Zhang Ying is not yet two years old. Although he is not very old, Zhang Xing, who spoke at this moment, did have a thoughtful expression.

Zhang Ying, that is, the son of Zhang Chao and Sun Shangxiang, was conceived by Zhang Chao before he went out to the Rus Kingdom, and not long after the battle, Sun Shangxiang, who stayed in Jinyang City, gave birth to a son.

Zhang Xing is worried about Hua Guifei and his little brother Zhang Ying, which is precisely because of family education, Zhang Chao has taught children to be filial piety, etiquette, unity and friendship since he was a child, and now it seems that he has also taught well.

"Okay, it's hard for you to be so old, you think so thoroughly, it seems that the tiger father has no dogs, and sure enough, you have the wind of the emperor, hahaha." Listening to Zhang Xing's analysis, Guo Jia on the side couldn't help laughing happily. People say that the prince is prosperous and will not lose the country, just with Zhang Xing's performance, it is difficult for the Celestial Empire to be strong or not.

Guo Jia's voice of appreciation caused Zhang Xing to scratch his head a little embarrassed and said, "Lord Guo, if I say something wrong, don't you mind." ”

"Don't mind, don't mind, you're saying nothing, hehehe. When I am not very old, I know that it is really precious to think about my brother, and even if this is the case, I will be the master again. Someone's coming! Speaking of this, Guo Jia shouted loudly outside the hall.

Soon a waiter entered the hall, waiting for orders.

"Pass my order, let the waterway army enter the river, and make a preparation for war at any time, if the Dongwu naval army has a reckless move, there is no need to ask for instructions, just go to battle directly. There was also an order for the three army corps to start moving closer in the direction of the fifth army corps, and similarly, if the Eastern Wu did not send troops, they should not move, but if they moved first, there was no need to be polite. Guo Jia conveyed the order in front of the waiter.

Originally, such a major event needed to ask the emperor Zhang Chao to make a decision first. It's just that it's too late now, so Guo Jia has made his own claim.

Guo Jia also agreed with Zhang Xing's words and gave Soochow a chance. Of course, if the other party doesn't know how to grasp it, and wants to go his own way, then it's no wonder that he really fights, after all, the opportunity is given, but people must fight, and they can't passively wait for it.

"Thank you, Lord Guo." Hearing Guo Jia's order, Zhang Xing was also overjoyed, he knew that this was a decision that people listened to him, and this was a decision made to save face. "Lord Guo, I invite you to fight in the Fifth Legion, if there is really a big war, I will also go to the battlefield in person to show the might of my Celestial Empire."

"Okay, I agreed." Guo Jia said with laughter. For a young man who can become a battalion commander and a middle-level officer in a year and a half on his own without relying on anyone's help, Guo Jia still trusts him very much and is full of expectations.

......

Soochow Jianye City.

Three days passed in a daze, and when Sun Jian was instigated and decided to raise his army to go on the expedition, news flew over like pieces of paper, and the army of the Celestial Empire actually moved, and in a very short period of time, two million troops were dispatched to deal with him.

The sudden news caught Sun Jian off guard.

Originally, I thought that the main forces of the Celestial Empire followed the First Emperor Zhang Chao to fight in the Rus Kingdom, but I originally thought that in the past two years, the focus of the Celestial Empire has been placed there, and the support has also been placed there, and the country must be empty. But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Especially after the sudden appearance of a million Heavenly Dynasty naval troops on the Yangtze River, Sun Jian knew that Zhang Chao had been guarding against them and had not made a move, just waiting for him to behave himself.

Sun Jian also has his own intelligence agency, but such an agency can barely hear information on land, but it is really powerless to do anything on the water.

Gan Ning, the commander of the Waterway Corps, listened to the advice of the military advisor Jia Xu and did a very good job of the secrecy measures of the Waterway Corps. Usually, everyone trains on a remote island in the sea, and if outsiders want to enter, unless they take his hand or an order from the emperor, they can enter, otherwise, even if Lord Guo Jia sends someone to come, they will have to be strictly scrutinized.

In this way, the secrecy work is naturally a failure, and even Sun Jian does not know how many troops there are on the sea, he only analyzes the number of waterway legions through some other situations.

But even if it is estimated, it is only hundreds of thousands, and I never thought that as soon as something happened now, an army of millions was approaching. And whether this is the full strength of the Waterway Legion is still unknown.

Not to mention, Sun Jian's guess was not wrong, the Celestial Empire Waterway Legion was indeed more than one million people.

Zhang Chao's ambition is so great that people can imagine. And if you want to conquer the world, a strong navy is a must, so he left a plan when he left, invested heavily in the construction of the navy, and now under two years of hard work, the number of the waterway army has reached 1.2 million. In other words, this time the expedition is 1 million, but in fact, there are still 200,000 people training in the base, if the battle at the front is tight, these 200,000 people will become instructors, continue to train the new recruits to quickly adapt to water combat.

And Sun Jian, who didn't know this, was now suddenly facing the million water army of the Celestial Empire, and the million army of the third army and the fifth army legion, he had such a moment to feel that he had made a wrong decision.

Sun Jian, who was supposed to go out of the palace to attend the oath-taking meeting, did not leave, and when the time came, Sun Quan, the second son who had not seen his shadow, hurriedly rode to the palace, intending to ask a clear picture of what was going on. But unfortunately, there were already pro-soldiers blocking the door, just saying that the king was unwell, and the matter of the army going out needed to be discussed again.

Sun Quan touched a closed door and was unwilling, but he did not dare to make his own decisions about the major matters related to the expedition, so he had to go back to the barracks and tell others about it.

Sun Jian is the king of Wu, and the decision he made is the highest decision in Eastern Wu, so naturally no one dares to openly oppose it. In this way, the original oath meeting ended hastily before it began, and the army that was preparing to go out was all stopped in the army, and there was no intention of making a move.

Sun Jian retreated, which naturally made Sun Quan's heart very unhappy. In his opinion, the current Emperor Zhang Chao has not returned to Jinyang City, and now is the time when the army in front of him is empty.

"No, even if my father doesn't agree to send troops, then I will send troops myself, as long as I can tear a gap, I think it can prove that the army of the Celestial Empire is just a show, but it is just playing the trick of the fox and the fake tiger, and at that time, my father will definitely be able to see the situation clearly, decisively send troops, and then defeat the Celestial Empire and strengthen my Eastern Wu." In his own account, Sun Quan said with a very unwilling expression, and when he said these words, he almost broke the table in front of him with just one punch because he used too much force.
