In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

Judging from Nan Tu Rou's previous behavior, she most likely knows him.

After all, she knew about the Xiao family's boxing style, and she also knew Xiao Zhen's background.

As the former eldest daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao Ningning must have been dazzling, and many people knew about her.

Inside the camp.

"Husband, did Nan Tu Rou give you any trouble?"

Before Chen Shan could speak, Xiao Ningning asked the first question.

In fact, Xiao Zhen had already notified Nan Tu Rou of her arrival in advance.

However, I was on a mission at the time, so I didn't have time to talk to Chen Shan about it.

"No, it seems she intends to recommend me."

"Ningning, does Nan Tu Rou have a powerful background? I heard Brother Xiao say she's not simple?"

Xiao Ningning nodded slightly: "The Nan Tu family is a military family in the Xia Kingdom. Her father is the current Nan Tu King, the only king of a different surname in the entire Xia Kingdom."

"Nan Tu Rou is her family's only daughter and is very pampered, but she is extremely interested in military equipment. In a way, I'm similar to her, but unfortunately I couldn't enlist..."

"In short, her family wields considerable influence in the court. I'm worried that if I implicate my husband..."

At this point, Xiao Ningning couldn't help but feel worried. Not only her, but even Chu Yiren seemed to sense it as well.

Their identities are sensitive, and if they were exposed, it would be of no benefit to Chen Shan.

Seeing the two women's reaction, Chen Shan immediately laughed and said, "What's wrong? You were hoping I would help you clear your names back then, and now you're worried?"

"I've kept your concerns in mind, and when the time is right, I won't miss the opportunity."

"Before this, you had no other identity; your only identity was that of my woman, Chen Shan's woman."

As Chen Shan said these words, the four women felt a warmth in their hearts.

[Chu Yiren's favorability +1]

[Wang Xiaoya's favorability +1]

"Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that, all touched. If you want to thank me, I have an idea."

"What are your thoughts?" The four women looked at Chen Shan curiously.

"How about we sleep together tonight?"

Chen Shan looked the four women over with his eyes, and the thought of the four of them together instantly made his blood boil.

"Get lost, you wish."

"I don't want to."

Liu Ruyu blushed and glared, while Chu Yiren turned her head away.

"Well, if my husband wants... I, I can."

"Me too."

Wang Xiaoya and Xiao Ningning nodded, but their faces were already flushed.

Although they were all Chen Shan's women, they never served each other at the same time.

"Hehe, you guys still love me the most."

Chen Shan chuckled mischievously, taking advantage of the darkness to relax for a rare moment.

After experiencing the thrill of battle, Chen Shan could not find peace of mind, and only this gentle haven could put his mind at ease.

With the Qing Dynasty's grain supply route cut off, although it was only once, it made the Qing Dynasty cautious and they never dared to pass through the Chiling direction again.

Chiling was the closest supply route to the front lines, and the change in route meant that supplies to the front lines could not keep up, which made the Qing Dynasty's war somewhat tense.

However, unexpectedly, the Tiannan Army's results were not good either.

Without sufficient supplies to support the enemy, they still failed to make any substantial breakthrough and even retreated fifty miles!

Jingshan Camp, the military commandant's tent.

The remaining two thousand households and several hundred households gathered together.

Nan Tu Rou held the frontline military report in her hand, her brows furrowed.

"I reported the last battle myself, and the military reward will arrive soon."

"However, the situation of the Tiannan Army is not very optimistic."

Chen Shan was surprised when Nan Tu Rou said this, and Xiao Zhen was even more astonished.

"Not optimistic? Without timely replenishment of supplies, the Qing army of 200,000 won't last long, will it?"

"Why isn't this optimistic?"

Xiao Zhen was, after all, from the Xiao family army and was familiar with military matters.

Therefore, he couldn't understand what Nan Tu Rou was saying.

"This time, the Qing Dynasty has deployed their trump card, the elite Tianlang Army led by Nurchihar."

"The Tiannan army is finding it difficult to resist, and now they can only retreat fifty miles and adopt other tactics."

The seven kingdoms belong to the Central Plains, and each of them has its own elite army.

The Qing Dynasty's Tianlang Army was an example of this.

They were also among the elite forces of the seven kingdoms.

"The Tiannan Army is now considered an elite force in the Xia Kingdom. Under these circumstances, surely they wouldn't retreat fifty miles?"

Xiao Zhen still didn't understand.

Some were even angry. If the Xiao family army were still around, why would they need to fear the Qing Dynasty?

Unfortunately, times have changed.

"I don't know about this either."

"However, one thing is certain: effective immediately, the remaining soldiers of the Jingshan Battalion will be reorganized and brought under my command."

"You belong to the Third Army Corps of the Tiannan Army. You will form your own battalion. Captain Xiao, you will remain a captain."

"In addition, Chen Shan was promoted to deputy and then to commander of a thousand households."

"However, the name needs to be changed."

When Nan Tu Rou finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

I never expected to join the Tiannan Army so easily.

Chen Shan never expected that he would rise from a new recruit to a commander of a thousand in just two times!

That's a really fast pace of improvement.

However, that's how the military merit system works.

With sufficient strength and military achievements, youthful pride is not unfounded.

"You will each receive your own rewards, which will be distributed once you arrive at the Tiannan Army. We will depart in three days for the Northern Territory, to Mochi City."

With the marching plan finalized, Chen Shan felt relieved. At this pace, he could earn military merits whenever he was able to participate in battles.

Promotion becomes much easier.

Perhaps it won't be long before he can secure a place in the military.

That evening.

Xiao Zhen also arrived at Chen Shan's camp.

Chen Shan's performance reassured him and earned his admiration.

"Brother Xiao, you don't seem to like going to the Tiannan Army."

Several people sat together, eating hot pot and chatting.

It seemed quite pleasant.

Chen Shan looked at Xiao Zhen, who seemed preoccupied, and immediately asked him what was wrong.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhen sighed, "It's not that I dislike it."

"The commander of the Tiannan Army has some grudges against me. Even with Nan Tu Rou around, some trouble is inevitable."

Upon hearing Xiao Zhen's words, Chen Shan raised an eyebrow.

These days, conflicts really do exist everywhere you go. No wonder people say that wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue and strife.

"What's the trouble?"

Chen Shan pressed for an answer out of curiosity, but Xiao Zhen suddenly turned to look at Chen Shan.

"Actually, this trouble is also somewhat related to you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ningning realized what was happening.

"Brother, could the current commander of the Southern Army be that person?"

The two were speaking strangely, and the other three women were also casting gossipy glances at them, clearly indicating that there was more to the conversation than met the eye.

The only reason she could get involved with Chen Shan was because of Xiao Ningning; there really was no other reason.

After hearing what the two said, Chen Shan became quite curious.

"What, that person? Is that person special?"

Chen Shan asked, and Xiao Zhen immediately replied helplessly, "That guy, he did serve in the Xiao family army for a while, but he wasn't a member of the Xiao family army. However, he has always had feelings for Miss."

Even after the Xiao family was framed, he still wanted to protect Miss Xiao.

"So, once he goes to the Tiannan Army and sees Miss, that guy might have some ideas."
