Pioneer Camp ......

"The second line, enter the battle-" On the school field, Zhao Zichuan is sitting in command of the training, and the main general of the training on weekdays should be Tang Zhan, but because during this time, Tang Zhan and Xiao Tian went to Beijiang every day to train the navy, so the training of the infantry and cavalry formation, the main position was temporarily handed over to Zhao Zichuan to command.

Under the five unique formations, the formations entered and exited the formations in batches in turn, in an orderly manner. In addition to Zhao Zichuan's courage in wartime, the training in the army is even more well-trained, and the officers and men in the battalion are all energetic and ready for battle. However, in the recent military training, although the generals and soldiers in the army are neat, Zhao Zichuan, as the main general, is often absent from the state, and he is easily distracted from time to time......

"That's all for today's training-" As it got late, Zhao Zichuan finished his day's training and ordered the troops to be disbanded on the spot......

"What's wrong?" After the disbandment of the whole army, Nangong Jun stepped forward to the stage, looked at Zhao Zichuan, who was not stable, and asked with a smile, "I am always in low spirits these days, and I am often distracted by the training of the troops, unlike you......"

"It's nothing, it's just that my heart is a little blocked, I can't say ......why," Zhao Zichuan shook his head and sighed slightly.

Nangong Jun thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Are you worried about An An-haha, after the birth of his son, it is normal for a father to be distracted...... Fortunately, there has been no war recently, and after the training is over, you can spend more time with your sister-in-law and An An......"

"I'm not entangled in this ......" Zhao Zichuan refused, "Yuru and An An are very good in the camp, don't worry about it at all, I just ...... I just can't say why, why I've been panicking inexplicably lately......"

"Drink, when did you become so feminine, I am inexplicably worried about this and that...... Nangong Jun shook his head with a smile, and then pushed Zhao Zichuan's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I will accompany Brother Murong and you back, and by the way, take a look at An An and sister-in-law...... It's quite windy today, and it's estimated to rain at night, so I think the naval training of Tang Zhan and Xiao Brothers will end early today, maybe they'll come back first, and we'll go-"

Zhao Zichuan didn't say anything more, but went back to his camp with Nangong Jun and Murong Fei......

Nangong Jun guessed correctly, because of the weather, Tang Zhan and Xiao Tian ended the training of the navy early today and returned to the barracks first. On days when there was no war, friends would chat with each other from time to time, not to mention that Zhao Zichuan's son had just been born, and no matter who was in the army, they would take the time to go to Zhao Zichuan and Li Yuru's camp tent to visit them, and Tang Zhan and Xiao Tian were the same today.

After a few days of recuperation, Li Yuru finally recovered and was able to get out of bed and take care of her son herself. As a first-time mother, she takes care of her son in every way; An An is also very obedient, sleeping quietly in her mother's arms, although it is not yet dark, Li Yuru has already hugged An An and whispered a lullaby in her ear......

"An An sleeps so soundly, the newborn baby is cute-" Li Yuru coaxed the child to sleep, and Xiao Tian gently pointed to the side.

"You are so familiar, have you taken care of the baby before?" Tang Zhan couldn't help but ask when he saw Xiao Tian's gentle and attentive eyes.

"I don't take care of it, I'm so clumsy, but I've ......seen it," Xiao Tian recalled, "It turns out that in Xiaojia Villa, the married brothers and sisters are happy to have a noble son, and we often go to have a good time." Sister Xuecui often goes to help take care of the children, she is quite experienced, I have seen her many times......"

"Maybe a girl will have a maternal side - Sister Su is the same, Brother Xiao these days, you are not around, Sister Su comes to me every day to take care of An An, and plans to be An An's godmother, hehe......" Li Yuru said with a smile.

"Ah, Jia'er comes here every day......" Xiao Tian seemed to think of something bad, and secretly teased, "It's over, no one is watching in the back camp, I'm afraid they will make a mess for me again......"

Li Yuru looked at Tang Zhan and Xiao Tian's wet appearance, and couldn't help asking, "I heard Zichuan say, the two of you have been training the navy in Beijiang these days, how are you doing?"

"It's not bad-" Tang Zhan said with satisfaction, "Brother Xiao and I have experience in leading the navy, and the cooperation is seamless, just wait for General Chang to return and wave the army to Xiangyang in actual combat......"

"In this way, your brothers are quite cooperative—" Li Yuru said with a smile again.

"Yes, the two of us seem to have a natural tacit understanding, just like when we were dealing with Nangong's disciples in Bianliang......" Xiao Tian remembered the first time Bianliang fought side by side with Tang Zhan, and said happily, "The first time I met Tang Zhan's brothers in Bianliang, we were able to fight side by side and cooperate tacitly, now I think about it, the two of us really have the fate to be brothers, maybe we were really brothers in life and death in the last life, hahaha......"

"And the emperor also named you 'General Pingwei' before, didn't you?" Tang Zhan mentioned again, "Although you are in the vanguard camp, your military position is equal to mine. The training of the navy is tacit, this can be said to be flying with both wings and marching together, haha......"

However, when it came to Zhu Yuanzhang's reward for his "General Pingwei", Xiao Tian was a little more restrained - to be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang's admiration and appreciation for himself that time, until now I think about it, Xiao Tian still has a faint uneasiness in his heart......

"We're back......" On the other side, Zhao Zichuan and Nangong Murong brothers also returned from training at the same time, Zhao Zichuan responded with some weakness, and then watched Li Yuru swaying An An to sleep, and asked softly, "How is An An, didn't you cry indiscriminate......ly today, right?"

Li Yuru still didn't have a "good face" and glanced back at Zhao Zichuan, and said with dark eyes: "Let you hug me, I will wake up my son for a while, and I will cry again......

"You two, there's no need to stiffen your mouth every day as soon as you meet...... Tang Zhan looked at the "confrontation" between Zhao Zichuan and Li Yuru, and muttered with a wry smile.

If it were Zhao Zichuan on weekdays, he would definitely not be willing to be "cursed" by his wife, and at least refute one or two sentences. But today's Zhao Zichuan seems to be a little unusual, and I don't know if he is too tired from military training, he likes to laugh when there is no war on weekdays, but today he can't raise his spirit at all, and even Li Yuru has no reaction to his "tossing words" at all.

Li Yuru also seemed to see it, and asked rhetorically: "What's wrong with you today, it's like rolling a ball of mud, with a sad face, and you don't react at all......"

"I'm ...... today Sad face?" Zhao Zichuan also had a very abnormal demeanor, pointing to his grandmother and asking.

Everyone nodded on the side, looking at Zhao Zichuan's strange words and deeds, they were sure that there was something wrong with Zhao Zichuan's state today......

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew into the camp, and everyone couldn't help but shudder......

"No, if it's blowing like this outside, An An will get sick...... Li Yuru wrapped her son tightly and couldn't help but say, "What the hell is this weather, how can you say that it's cold?"

Zhao Zichuan ignored Li Yuru, but focused his attention on Tang Zhan and Xiao Tian, and then asked, "By the way, how are the Tang Zhan brothers and Xiao brothers' water army training?"

Tang Zhan nodded and responded: "There is no problem with the training of the navy, but it is almost a real battle...... When General Chang returns from Yingtian City and surveys the terrain around Xiangyang, we can go up by land and water—"

Xiao Tian then said: "It's you, Brother Zichuan, didn't you say that Brother Zijin has led his troops to the Yangtze River ferry for a while......? There is no news yet...... Xiao Tian wanted to continue asking, but as he spoke, he didn't know why he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to continue talking unconsciously in his mouth.

Zhao Zichuan also felt it, and when Xiao Tian asked, Zhao Zichuan felt a brief but clear feeling of severe pain in his heart...... The sharp pain was only for a moment, Zhao Zichuan couldn't say why, and then there was a faint feeling in his chest, and the expression on his face was extremely dull.

is noisy, but looking at Zhao Zichuan's strange expression, the whole person is a little uncomfortable, and Li Yuru can't bear it. He thought that maybe his son could make her husband happier, so he slowly stepped forward and gently handed the sleeping An An to Zhao Zichuan and said, "Zichuan, do you have anything on your mind...... Otherwise, you can hug your son too, it's so tiring to train these days, maybe hugging your son makes you feel better......"

Zhao Zichuan didn't hesitate anything, and directly took over his son and held him in his arms. There was a baby's immature breathing in his arms, but the rhythm of this breathing seemed to Zhao Zichuan to be suffocating with more and more intense tension, and his heartbeat became more and more unstable with the rate of his son's breathing......

The cold wind blew more intensely, getting stronger and stronger, and even blew over a cart at the entrance of the barracks, making a "clang" sound......

It didn't matter if the sound was made, the son in Zhao Zichuan's arms seemed to be awakened, and his body couldn't help but tremble......

"Dada...... Da ...... "At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the camp gate......

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, report urgently, I want to see General Tang Zhan and General Zhao Zichuan-" The soldiers who came from Pegasus shouted urgently, followed by more than ten cavalry troops, covered in blood, as if they had experienced a bloody battle. And behind the fast horse, there is also a "clang-clang-" following a board car......

"Uhh......h Woo ah......" Suddenly, at the moment An An was awakened, An An howled inexplicably. If it was just an ordinary cry, but for some reason, An An's crying at this time seemed to be a bit heart-rending......

"An An-" The first time she heard her son crying so sadly, Li Yuru thought that something bad had happened, and hurriedly "snatched" her son back from Zhao Zichuan.

Zhao Zichuan was in a daze on the side, looking at his son crying in panic, his heart seemed to be slashed by a sharp blade, and his eyes were surprised and he couldn't say a word for a long time......

Li Yuru is also anxious, no matter how she coaxes An An, An An just keeps crying, and the crying is very sad, which makes people feel sad to hear. Li Yuru was worried about whether An An had any illness, and she was so scared that she was helpless, but she could only keep comforting her son in her son's ear: "A-Niang is here, An An is good, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry......"

"Woo-woo-woo......" But An An cried more and more miserably, and his eyes still looked at the direction of the camp gate from time to time, as if the child's heart foreshadowed the sorrow of pain and struggle.

Zhao Zichuan seemed to understand his son's eyes, and turned his head to look at the camp gate - the direction of the urgent report just now seemed to be something terrible, and Zhao Zichuan's heart was even more inexplicably nervous......

"What should I do, An An is still crying, what the hell is this...... What the hell is going on, is An An sick?" Li Yuru was about to cry in a hurry, she had no experience in taking care of children, but she couldn't bear to watch her son continue to suffer like this.

When Xiao Tian saw it, he immediately said: "Sister-in-law, don't panic, I'll go and call Jia'er, she should have a way to stabilize the child-"

So, Xiao Tian hurriedly turned his head and called Su Jia......

Zhao Zichuan didn't pay attention to other things, his eyes looked at the gate of the camp, and only his son's miserable cry came from his ears, but his heart seemed to have a bloody pain that was getting more and more peeling, and he couldn't calm down at all......

At the gate of the camp, Lu Jing and Lao Jiu, who happened to come out to inspect, noticed it. Seeing that the soldiers who arrived were covered in blood, as if they had just escaped from the enemy formation, and there was a cart behind them, on which lay a corpse with 10,000 arrows piercing the heart. The death of the deceased was extremely tragic, and the blood stained the entire cart red......

Lu Jing seemed to recognize the deceased, and her face was greatly surprised...... "Lao Jiu, go and call the fool and General Zhao to come over-" Lu Jing realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately turned around and ordered Lao Jiudao.

"I know-" Lao Jiu didn't hesitate, he could turn around and call Tang Zhan and the others......

Zhao Zichuan looked at the restlessness at the gate of the camp, and the pain in his heart reached the extreme. He seemed to realize something, and without waiting for Lao Jiu to come and inform, he first quickened his pace and ran over, his expression extremely flustered......

"Hey, Brother Zichuan-" Tang Zhan couldn't stop screaming from behind, so he had to run over......

"Woo-woo...... An An was still crying, and she couldn't stop, even if Su Jia came over to help take care of her......

"What the hell is going on, how can so many people be there?" Xiao Tian looked at the restless crowd at the gate of the camp, and knew that something terrible was indeed happening, so he said nervously.

"Generals, Miss Lu ordered you to rush to the gate of the camp immediately-" At this moment, Lao Jiu hurriedly said with his old steps.

"Let's go, let's go over and have a look-" Xiao Tian couldn't wait, so he called Nangong Murong and the others beside him and went with him.

"Sister-in-law, let's go over and have a look, maybe An An is crying so sadly because ......" Su Jia helped take care of the child while persuading Li Yuru.

Li Yuru nodded with tears in her eyes, she, like Zhao Zichuan, was entangled with an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart......

Zhao Zichuan was the first to arrive at the scene, followed by the others...... However, when he recognized the identity of the deceased, Zhao Zichuan was dumbfounded-

Lying on the cart, the general who was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows and died tragically was none other than his eldest brother Zhao Zijin!

"Brother!-" Zhao Zichuan saw the crimson in front of him, and couldn't help but scream loudly.

"Wooh!-" The baby in Li Yuru's arms, who followed up, also let out the most miserable cry at the same time......

"We were in the valley in front of the river, and we were ambushed by the enemy, and almost all of our troops were buried there...... There were only a few of us left to cover General Zhao's escape, but General Zhao was wounded by countless arrows and had already ...... It has been ......" The surviving soldiers will grieve in detail one by one.

"How...... How could this be......" Tang Zhan couldn't believe everything in front of him, his eyes swayed in a panic.

Lu Jing was the same, covering her mouth and not believing the truth in front of her. When Zhao Zijin was a child, when he was still in Bianliang and did not go north, he always regarded him as a considerate big brother; now that Zhao Zijin has died in his post, this is the first time Lu Jing has seen the corpses of his relatives and friends, like a nightmare but not a dream......

Not only Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, but also Xiao Tian, Nangong Jun, and Murong Fei...... Almost everyone in Bianliang who knew the Zhao family well couldn't believe what was in front of them, and their eyes were even more surprised......

Zhao Zichuan's eyes were already bloodshot...... The child slowly reduced his crying in the back, and the pain in Zhao Zichuan's heart gradually turned from severe pain to a steady stream of dull pain, and his hands were even clenched into fists......

"Who is the enemy general in ambush......" Zhao Zichuan asked coldly to the surviving soldiers with a bloody gesture on his face...... (To be continued.) )
