C97 battlefield life

In the Song Jun's battlefield, inside the Song Jun's camp, Shao Jian and Yang Yanzhao stood alone in the middle of the plaza, watching the soldiers practice.

Yang Yanzhao turned around and looked at Shao Jian, and asked: "How have you been after coming to the Yan Men Guan for the past few days? Are you used to it? " His tone was so gentle that it sounded like a kind father caring for his child.

Shao Jian's heart could not help but tremble, and he casually said: "It's alright, there's nothing to get used to." After which, he smiled faintly.

After thinking about it, Shao Jian asked again: "Why would General Yang suddenly ask about this?"

Yang Yanzhao slightly smiled and said: "It's nothing much, we can casually chat and get to know each other."

Shao Jian nodded his head at the Song Jun soldiers in the training field, and asked: "Is General Yang like this with them?"

Yang Yanzhao said: "Actually, I have always thought of them as my best brothers, my closest friends. When I have free time, I would often chat with them about family matters, and care for them. Sigh … In fact, it's not easy for anyone to come out to war far from their hometown, especially soldiers, who can die for the country at any time. Only by treating their own soldiers as your best friends will they feel warm on the battlefield.

paused for a while before continuing, "However, business and private matters cannot be compared to each other. I have always been very strict with my soldiers when leading soldiers to war, and would never allow anything that goes against the military discipline.

Shao Jian said: "This is all for their own good. If you don't let them work hard right now, when the Liaoning army attacks, they will most likely sacrifice their lives under the enemy's slaughtering knife. I believe that they have followed you for so many years as old comrade, so they will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."

Yang Yanzhao chuckled and said: "I didn't expect that at such a young age, you would understand so much, and you are actually much stronger than I was back then, haha."

Shao Jian immediately said: "The Yang Jia Jun that is led by General Yang has defeated the attacks of the Chidans countless of times, how can I compare to it, hehe." As he spoke, he smiled in embarrassment.

Yang Yanzhao said: "Aren't you trying to kill me, actually this is all thanks to the soldiers, if they weren't here, I wouldn't be here today." He raised his head and sighed to the dark sky. The sky above the battlefield seemed to be covered by dark clouds all year round. There was not a single ray of sunlight, as if the souls of the fallen heroes were lingering in the sky, blocking out the sunlight.

This was the first time Shao Jian was alone with him since he came to the Yan Men Guan. This time, the conversation caused him to be extremely moved, such a valiant general always thought of the warriors, but he never thought of himself, who had been severely injured countless times, escaped death countless of times, and had endured injuries for many years without seeking a doctor, a prominent position in the imperial court like him, and who could be said to only need to say a few words. However, he did not have a single word, as he continued to stay in the Yan Men Guan to defend against the increasingly fierce attacks of the Liao Army.

Just then, the sound of footsteps could be heard, Shao Jian and Yang Yanzhao turned around at the same time, seeing that Zhang Jinliang had walked over.

Coming up to the two of them, Zhang Jinliang cupped his fists and greeted Yang Yanzhao with a military salute. Then he said, "This general had just inspected the surrounding five kilometers around the camp and only found a few small squads of Liaoning Army wandering back and forth. I believe they have lost contact with the army."

Yang Yanzhao nodded and asked: "Did you ask around for information on the troops of the Liao Clan?"

Zhang Jinliang replied: "I did not probe further, I think it was a retreat."

Yang Yanzhao said: "This time, they did not succeed in their plan, before long, they will definitely launch an even fiercer attack, it is better to be on guard."

"Yes, General. If there is nothing else, this lowly general and Vice General Lu will go to another place to patrol, just in case." replied as he turned and walked out of the camp.

In the night, the Yan Men Guan battlefield was dead silent, there was no sound at all. Inside the Song Jun camp, all the torches were lit, and Yang Yanzhao, Shao Jian and the rest were all sitting in the tents, discussing about fighting against the Liaoning Army.

Just then, Yang Yanzhao looked at the people below and said: "After this battle, although the conspiracy has failed and we have ended up losing troops, but they will attack again at any time, so everyone please pay more attention to avoid giving them more opportunities."

Lu Qingwen and Zhang Jinliang both nodded their heads, and then Lu Qingwen said: "With General's words, what should we do?"

After thinking about it, Yang Yanzhao said: "For this period of time, it has been hard on the soldiers. Other than a portion of troops staying here, the rest will return to Yan Men Guan City tomorrow morning.

Lu Qingwen and Zhang Jinliang said in unison: "Everything will be as you say, General."

Yang Yanzhao laughed, then looked at Shao Jian, Zhang Wudie and the rest: "Shao Jian, why don't you, Miss Wu Die and your friends return to the Central Plains? It seems that the martial arts world has not been peaceful recently, and there are still a lot of things that needs you to do, as long as there is protection."

After everyone heard Yang Yanzhao's words, they felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Shao Jian then said: "General Yang, why do you insist on letting us leave? Did we drag you down here? " In fact, Zhang Jiming and the others had the same thoughts as Shao Jian, it was just that they couldn't say it out loud.

Yang Yanzhao laughed: "Shao Jian, you've misunderstood, for the recent period of time, the army's attacks have intensified, and you guys are clear of what you've said a few days ago when you chased after the Liaoning's man of the jianghu. It seems like they had entered the Central Plains and had prepared to leave, at this time, your Sect Master and Sect Master also needed your help, so that's why they let you guys go back. You overthink about it."

So that's how it is. After Shao Jian heard it, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "So that means I really overthought things. Please forgive me, General Yang."

Yang Yanzhao said: It's fine, you guys have your own ideas too, it's the same for everyone, if you guys manage to settle the matters of the martial arts world, and still want to come back to the battlefield to kill enemies, we will welcome you at any time. Lu Qingwen and Zhang Jinliang, the two vice generals immediately agreed.

After a while, Yang Yanzhao said again, "Shao Jian, go back and ask your master about your background. Fortunately, he will be able to answer your questions."

Shao Jian could still remember what happened and quickly nodded his head: "Ok, thank you General Yang."

At this time, Su San Xiao stood up and said: I have neither the door nor the sect, I have nothing to do when I return. With that, he looked at Yang Yanzhao who was seated in the seat of honor.

After some consideration, Yang Yanzhao agreed to allow Su San Xiao to stay in the Yan Men Guan with and the others to fight against the Liao Army. Furthermore, during this period of time, when Song Liao was fighting, he always charged at the front regardless of the danger, which was why Yang Yanzhao had recognized him and even offered him a position to lead the vanguard army together with Yang Zongbao.
