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

Xiao Zhen, being a veteran of the military, knew that people in high positions like Nan Tu Rou valued their reputation most, especially in front of their subordinates.

However, Xiao Zhen's tactful approach does not mean Chen Shan would act the same way.

"General, it seems there are quite a few traitors within your Third Army Corps. The failure of the plan has already proven this."

Chen Shan spoke very frankly.

This immediately made Xiao Zhen lose his composure.

Looking at Nan Tu Rou again, her expression had indeed turned ugly.

Chen Shan didn't give in and continued, "People's hearts are fickle, General, you don't need to worry about such things."

Upon hearing Chen Shan's words, Nan Tu Rou sighed, feeling rather helpless.

After all, she was a seasoned veteran, and her experience in all aspects was definitely far greater than that of Chen Shan, a new recruit.

Even so, Chen Shan was not as open-minded as he was.

"What do you think will happen?"

When Nan Tu Rou asked, Chen Shan and Xiao Zhen exchanged a glance, and then Chen Shan said, "What could it be? Either it's a Qing spy, or it's that sycophant Kong's doing."

"Didn't the general say that the guy was prepared to negotiate, and besides, he wasn't friendly to us?"

Chen Shan stated his thoughts directly.

In his view, Kong Qingzhi was more likely to take action.

If it weren't for the timely intervention of their Deficit Battalion, the Third Legion would have suffered heavy losses, let alone been able to contend with the Sky Wolf Army.

Nan Tu Rou fell silent in response to Chen Shan's words.

"This hypocrite is truly despicable."

"Although this was a defeat, the vanguard of the Sirius Army also suffered considerable losses."

"It's a pity that not all of them could be kept."

Nan Tu Rou said this with a helpless expression, but her words made Chen Shan feel somewhat helpless as well.

"The general is truly afraid of this Kong Qingzhi."

"But that's your business, I only care about the deficit camp."

"This time our deficit battalion lost several hundred men. General, please don't forget about the various settlements, rewards for meritorious service, and pensions."

Chen Shan wasn't interested in the power struggles between their factions; what he wanted was military merit and promotion.

Chen Shan will not hesitate to solve any obstacle in his path!

They don't have as many concerns as they do.

"I will arrange this matter, and I will make sure you don't suffer any losses."

"As for Kong Qingzhi's matter, I will handle it myself."

Nan Tu Rou didn't really like what Chen Shan said, but she didn't refute it.

Although they were in a superior-subordinate relationship, Nan Tu Rou could sense that Chen Shan didn't have much respect for her.

He seems to be free of constraints.

After Nan Tu Rou finished speaking, she felt even more agitated. Without saying anything more, she got up and left the Red Character Camp.

Watching Nan Tu Rou leave, Xiao Zhen sighed, "Chen Shan, be careful what you say when you talk to these people in the future. If you offend them, you'll suffer the consequences."

Xiao Zhen was genuinely worried that Chen Shan's outspokenness might one day cause him unnecessary trouble.

If that were the case, everything we're doing now would be a waste of effort.

"Don't worry, I understand. It's only Nan Tu who's like this. I might not say that about anyone else."

"Besides, since this plan has failed, I have some ideas that might be able to salvage the situation."

Chen Shan was making plans in his mind.

The original plan was to earn more military merits this time to improve the deficit battalion, but now that a problem has arisen, we have to consider other issues.

"Your idea? Chen Shan, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Zhen was somewhat curious.

Chen Shan didn't mince words, saying, "Naturally, we should leverage our strengths and launch a surprise attack, but this time we can't let the Third Army Corps get involved."

"Otherwise, if another leak occurs, I'm afraid none of us will be able to come back."

Chen Shan's meaning is very clear.

With a mole inside, continuing the operation would be tantamount to suicide.

Chen Shan had no intention of taking the Deficit Camp on a risky mission.

Tell me in detail.

Xiao Zhen sat down again, curious about what Chen Shan planned to do.

Although the Sirius Army suffered losses in the last defeat, the impact was not significant.

At most, the 50,000 vanguard troops suffered around 10,000 casualties.

For the Sirius King, who commanded an army of 200,000, it was nothing to worry about and he wouldn't take it seriously at all.

The deficit battalion now has over a thousand members, and many of them are unable to go to the battlefield.

Despite being at a disadvantage on all sides, even Xiao Zhen, a veteran of the battlefield, had no way to reverse the situation.

"Select 800 men to form a raiding party, infiltrate at night, and set fire to kill the enemy."

"The method is very simple. As long as the information doesn't leak out, there won't be any problems."

Chen Shan's goal was relatively simple, and his method was also simple. Sometimes, even the best tactics can't withstand the simplest arrangements.

After listening, Xiao Zhen felt that it was still too risky.

"Eight hundred people, is that really enough?"

That's the Sirius Army, an army of 200,000. Even if it's a surprise attack, the enemy can react very quickly. Once they get entangled, the chances of them coming back are slim.

"Eight hundred people are enough."

Chen Shan stated it very simply: the number of eight hundred people is quite remarkable.

In his original world, Huo Qubing could charge into battle with 800 men, Li Shimin dared to fight against Xuanwu Gate with 800 men, and the Yongle Emperor even started a rebellion with 800 men!

"Alright, we need to tell General Nan Tu about those things, right? After all, our Red Battalion belongs to the Third Army Corps, and we can't just leave the camp without permission."

"Otherwise, even if you have made contributions, this matter will cause problems."

Xiao Zhen had considered everything very thoroughly, while Chen Shan hadn't thought too much about it.

"Just inform Brother Xiao about this matter."

"I'll have someone screen them and give them some training while I'm at it."

Chen Shan acted swiftly and decisively, seizing the opportunity when the enemy believed that the Third Army Corps had suffered a defeat and would not make any further moves.

As long as he is careful and doesn't let the traitor know, he is still very confident.

soon.

Nan Tu Rou received the message, and Xiao Zhen made it very clear that it must not be leaked.

Among the battalions of the Third Army Corps with commanders of over a thousand, only the Deficit Battalion was newly arrived, so I felt more at ease with them.

Although Nan Tu Rou also thought Chen Shan's method was too risky.

However, she had no other choice at the moment. She was still trying to find out the spies in the army and had no way to help Chen Shan.

The only option is to let Chen Shan take the risk.

In two days, Chen Shan selected eight hundred suitable men from the Red Badger Camp, including the dozen or so brothers who followed him.

Chen Shan would never forget them for their meritorious service.

Deficit Camp.

"My lord, military merit is important, but it is far less important than your safety. Please be careful in everything you do."

Liu Ruyu looked worried. She and Wang Xiaoya knew nothing about military affairs or warfare.

All she could do was pray that Chen Shan would return safely.

Seeing the four girls' expectant looks, Chen Shan chuckled.

"Don't worry, you haven't had your little Shanzi yet, I can't bear to see anything happen to him."

"Stay put in the barracks."

After giving him some instructions, Chen Shan led eight hundred men and quietly left Mochi City overnight.
