"Didn't I just say that with Xiaochen here, there will be absolutely no problem with my body, not to mention that I have Lin Xin now, so I am more confident with my body than anyone else and will not joke with it."

"It is precisely because of Lin Xin that I cannot let you go. Although he is Zhou Chen's son, he is now the son of the Lin family. As a father, you should stay with him. What's more, you said that you are fine, but that is just your own idea. Zhou Chen never said that."

"Then, I'll call Xiaochen over and ask him to tell you that he should be in my mansion now."

"No, I'll go back with you to find him."

Xiao Jingyan made a decision. He didn't want to give Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen a chance to collude.

An hour later, at Su Mansion.

"No, winter is coming soon. Your health is not good in winter, let alone going to the front line. Just rushing to the battlefield will consume a lot of your energy, so don't even think about it."

When Xiao Jingyan and Mei Changsu told Zhou Chen about this matter, Zhou Chen started to criticize Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu opened his mouth and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief. He had just used so many eye contact, but this is what he got in return?

Is this how you betray your brothers?

Jamel Xiao's expression was serious, his eyes full of worry.

"Is Xiaoshu's health really that bad?"

Zhou Chen said: "Of course, you see he is out of breath after walking a lot, do you think he will be relaxed on the battlefield?"

"Xiaochen..."

Mei Changsu wanted to refute, but Zhou Chen interrupted him rudely.

"No, I know what you want to say. Are you going to say that you belong to the battlefield? That's where you belong. You are Lin Shu. You want to return to the battlefield that belongs to you and pick up your original will again, right?"

"You know everything about me?"

"What do you think? Xiao Shu, don't forget that you are no longer the same as you were before. Your will may be stronger than before, but your body can no longer withstand your torture. What's more, I just gave Xiao Bao to you for adoption. Do you really want Xiao Bao to be without a father so soon?"

Mei Changsu choked: "I..."

Yes, Xiaobao is the person he can't let go of the most now. He also understands that if he goes to the battlefield this time, he will most likely not be able to come back.

When he thought that Xiaobao was so young and he might not be around anymore and would never see Xiaobao grow up, he felt extremely sad.

Zhou Chen's voice returned to normal, and he said slowly: "We in Daliang are not yet at the point where we cannot do without you. It's not like I haven't made any progress over the years. If I go to the battlefield again, I dare not say that I will do better than you, but I will definitely not be much worse. And don't forget, I am better than anyone else in one aspect."

"With my martial arts, I am confident that I can defeat Xuan Bu from Dayu even if he comes. A strong general has no weak soldiers under him. As long as I perform well enough and charge into the battle myself, it will definitely be effective. As for strategy, we have known each other for so many years, you should know me a little bit."

Mu Nihuang suddenly spoke up, "Brother, I think what he said makes sense. When I returned to the southern border last year, he gave me a military book that he wrote himself. The tactics and strategies in it are far better than mine, so if he leads the troops to fight, there shouldn't be any problems."

Her words surprised both Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan. Even Mei Changsu didn't know that Zhou Chen had actually written a military book and gave it to Mu Nihuang.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Chen might still feel a little embarrassed, but now, he just wanted to stop Mei Changsu.

"Xiao Shu, believe me, just like I have believed in you all these years. I will go to fight Dayu, and you will stay in the capital to help the prince, and help me take care of my mother and children. Only in this way can I lead the troops to fight on the front line without distraction."

"this."

Mei Changsu was in a very difficult situation. He wanted to go to the battlefield very much, but what Zhou Chen said made sense. He really couldn't bear to leave his little treasure Lin Xin.

Jamel Xiao made a decision immediately: "Okay, it's settled."

…………

In just a few days, the recruiting office had gathered all the soldiers. Originally there were 170,000 soldiers, but many people were excited to join the army, and another 10,000 were added.

Finally, Crown Prince Xiao Jingyan distributed the troops, with Wei Zheng leading 30,000 troops to the East China Sea to fight against the East China Sea Navy, while Nie Feng and Xia Dong led 50,000 troops to the northern battlefield to deal with Beiyan.

For safety reasons, Xiao Jingyan also sent 20,000 soldiers to the Yeqin border, led by his Lie Zhanying, to the Yeqin battlefield.

The last 80,000 troops rushed to the Dayu battlefield, with Meng Zhi as the commander-in-chief and Zhou Chen as the deputy, and also the vanguard general.

Zhou Chen was not too surprised when he received the transfer order. Although Xiao Jingyan agreed to his request to fight, he was not completely confident in him, so he sent Meng Zhi.

For this matter, he even asked Mei Changsu to find Zhou Chen to explain, but he didn't know that Zhou Chen didn't take it seriously at all.

For Zhou Chen, he volunteered to fight more for his side quests and his family. He didn't want his family to suffer the pain of the country being destroyed.

Today is the day to set out.

Zhou Chen got up before dawn. Not only him, but everyone in the princess's mansion also got up early, and the lights were bright.

Inside the house, Gong Yu personally helped Zhou Chen put on his armor. During the process, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Zhou Chen gently wiped away the tears from Gong Yu's cheeks and held her pretty face in his hands.

"Don't worry about me. Your husband is the strongest man in the world. No one can hurt me, even on the battlefield. I will be fine."

Gong Yu choked up and said, "On the battlefield, things change rapidly. Young Master, Dabao and Xiaobao are all grown up. They are taken care of by mother and aunt, and the sect master is here. They will be fine. Just let me go with you."

In her heart, no one can compare to Zhou Chen, not even her two sons, so she really wants to accompany Zhou Chen to the battlefield.

Zhou Chen said softly: "Dabao and Xiaobao are still young, and I, as a father, have to leave, but as a mother, you cannot leave them. They need their mother's company the most now. Children with a mother are the happiest in the world."

"But……"

"Gong Yu, believe me, the Meiling Mountains back then were countless times more dangerous than the war now, but I still survived. What's more, I am now dozens of times stronger than before. A mere 100,000 troops are really nothing to me. You just wait patiently at home for my triumphant return."

"Sir, um..."

The kiss lasted for a long time. Finally, Zhou Chen walked out of the door under the red-eyed gaze of Gong Yu, his mother and others.

Before serving the meal, Zhou Chen met Mei Changsu. Mei Changsu finally decided to stay in the capital after being persuaded by everyone.

"Xiao Chen, Zhen Ping has already led the brothers in the alliance to the north. When they reach their destination, he will look for you. I won't say anything else. I believe in you and will wait for the news of your great victory to be reported back to the capital."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then you shouldn't have to wait too long. I promised you that we would go visit Mr. Zhou together."

"Yeah, so you have to come back early."

"Well, you should also pay attention to the palace."

"Don't worry, he can't make any waves anymore."

"gone."

Chapter 876: Bloody Battlefield, Return to Homeland

Outside the city of Jinling, tens of thousands of troops swarmed out from the main gate.

Because this war was divided into several battlefields in different directions, the expeditionary armies set out from different city gates.

Although Daliang has 180,000 soldiers, not all of them are actually stationed near the capital. Some of them need to be mobilized from local troops. The total number of troops departing from the capital is less than 100,000.

Although there are imperial guards, royal guards, patrol camps, city defense forces, etc. in the capital, with a total number of tens of thousands, these people cannot be moved. They need to be responsible for guarding the capital and the imperial palace.

Meng Zhi and Zhou Chen are in the same team. In this war, the battle with Dayu is actually the most dangerous, because Dayu has sent out 100,000 troops, which is the largest number among all the countries.

This time, they were responsible for leading half of the troops in the capital to the north.

At the fork in the road outside the city, the group was about to part ways.

"Sister Nihuang, Jingrui and I will leave first."

At this critical moment, Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin also chose to serve the court and participated in the recruitment of soldiers. They did not apply for privileges because of their status, but wanted to start from the bottom as soldiers.

But their identities meant that even if they joined the army, they would never be able to become regular soldiers. The two of them were originally going to be assigned to the Yeqin battlefield because that battlefield had relatively the least risk and there was also an opportunity to gain military merit.

However, these two men are both proud and arrogant. Since they chose to join the army, they certainly did not think about gaining military merit, but wanted to truly contribute their own efforts.

So at their strong request, they were finally assigned to Meng Zhi and Zhou Chen. Meng Zhi was afraid of trouble, so he handed them over to Zhou Chen, and now they are serving in Zhou Chen's personal guard camp.

Mu Nihuang said goodbye to Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin. As for Nie Feng, Xia Dong and the others, they did not go through the same city gate, so they said goodbye to them while still inside the city.

"Zhou Chen, this is your first time leading troops into battle, and as a vanguard general. You should ask Brother Meng for advice. The Meng family is the representative of the Daliang military, and Brother Meng is very good at this."

Hearing the concern in Mu Nihuang's tone, Zhou Chen said softly: "I will, you have to be careful too."

Mu Nihuang said confidently: "I have been guarding the southern border for many years and I am very familiar with the situation in Nanchu. Whether they will launch an attack is another matter. The most dangerous ones are actually Beiyan and Dayu in the north of you."

"I know."

Suddenly, there was no more topic to talk about. Finally, Mu Nihuang spoke first: "It's been so long. I have something to thank you for. You gave Xiaobao to Brother Lin Shu. I can see that he is really happy."

In fact, she had another meaning in her heart. Now that Mei Changsu had Xiaobao's company, she felt less guilty.

"time to go."

"it is good."

Zhou Chen silently watched Mu Nihuang lead the troops away. After a long time, he sighed lightly and rode away.

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen."

As soon as Zhou Chen caught up with the main group, Yan Yujin rode over, followed by Xiao Jingrui.

"Yujin, we are now enlisted in the army. We must abide by the rules of the army and call him general."

"Wouldn't it be more intimate to call him Brother Chen?"

Seeing Xiao Jingrui was about to say something, Zhou Chen stopped him: "Okay, Jingrui, don't be so reserved. Yu Jin is right. Calling me brother is more intimate. Besides, it's not wartime now. There's no need to be so tense. Relax."

Yan Yujin raised his eyebrows proudly at Xiao Jingrui: "Did you hear that? Brother Chen said so. You are the only one who has so many rules."

Xiao Jingrui couldn't do anything to Yan Yujin, so he turned to Zhou Chen and said seriously: "Brother Chen, when we get to the front line, don't worry about us. Just let us do what we are supposed to do. Yujin and I want to serve the country and fight the enemy, not to gain military merit."

"Yes, Brother Chen, I have specially prepared a sword. It was given to me by my father. This time I must kill more than ten enemies." Yan Yujin held the hilt of the sword and shouted loudly.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I didn't intend to take care of you. Your martial arts are much better than ordinary soldiers, but the battlefield is different from ordinary martial arts competitions. Fighting is the norm, so you still have a lot to learn. I will train you well along the way."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Instead of being afraid, Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were full of fighting spirit.

…………

A few months later!

The New Year has just passed, but the festive atmosphere in the capital this year is much worse than last year. Although the war on the front line will not affect the capital, many people are still worried. It's okay for the common people, but the higher-level officials, the more worried they are.

At the Su Mansion, Mei Changsu watched Xiaobao walking unsteadily with his short legs under the gaze of the maids, with a smile on his face.

Next to him, Lin Chen had a melancholy look on his face.

"Alas, I originally said that I would spend the New Year at my junior brother's house this year, but it turned out that I couldn't see him and could only spend the New Year with you. It's so boring."

Mei Changsu didn't even turn his head: "Then what do you think would be fun? It's not like Xiaochen doesn't want to come back for the holidays."

"I'm just complaining. It's been almost five months, and I don't know how my junior brother is doing. I heard that Dayu has even sent more troops, so I don't know what the situation is like."

Speaking of this, Mei Changsu also showed a trace of sadness on his face.

In a blink of an eye, it has been almost five months since the various countries invaded Daliang. During this period, battle reports often came back from the front line.

The fastest victory was achieved in the Northern Territory. In the battle with Northern Yan, Nie Feng and Tuoba Hao were both good at fast fighting. Ever since Nie Feng and Xia Dong arrived at the front line and fought with Tuoba Hao, the two sides started a fierce fight.

At the beginning, Daliang was at a disadvantage because Tuoba Hao led 50,000 cavalry. Although the army led by Nie Feng was no less in number than Tuoba Hao, and even more in number if the local troops were included, it was very difficult to deal with the cavalry.

So at the beginning of the fight, Nie Feng actually suffered several losses and lost a lot of people, but the fact that Nie Feng could become the vanguard general of the Red Flame Army showed that his ability was not exaggerated.

After adapting to Tuoba Hao's offensive, he gradually fought back from the disadvantage, and in the end, he even gained the upper hand.

However, both sides suffered heavy losses, and in the end, the fighting weakened because no one wanted to cause more casualties.

In less than four months, the war with Beiyan was basically coming to an end, but Nie Feng and Xia Dong still stayed there just in case.

However, the battle between Donghai and Yeqin was not very smooth, because both sides were small countries and had geographical advantages.

The East China Sea Navy is famous far and wide. Even though Wei Zheng is good at naval battles, he can only ensure that he will not suffer any loss. However, it is too difficult to defeat the East China Sea Navy in one fell swoop.

Anyway, almost five months have passed, and Wei Zheng still has not won a complete victory. The two sides are still fighting on the water. However, apart from some unexpected results at the beginning, the East China Sea Navy has not gained any advantage after Wei Zheng left.

The situation on the Ye Qin side is similar. They occupy the deep mountains and forests and can be broken up into small pieces at any time, so it is quite a headache to deal with them.

If the number of Daliang's troops was sufficient, it would not be a big problem, but the problem is that Daliang does not have any extra troops now, which is why the Yeqin side is so arrogant.

Relatively speaking, the most dangerous was the battle between Daliang and Dayu. Over the past few months, the two sides fought countless times, with both sides winning and losing, and suffered heavy casualties.

The most recent battle report can be considered a victory, as Daliang annihilated thousands of Dayu people.

Lin Chen saw Mei Changsu frowning in worry and realized that he shouldn't have brought it up.

"But, Junior Brother is now famous. Over the past few months, as the vanguard general in the battle against Dayu, his reputation is greater than Meng Zhi's. Who in the world doesn't know about Daliang Wuchenghou?"

Mei Changsu also forced a smile, and there was even a hint of envy in his eyes.
