Xiang An sat up from the bed frame and opened his eyes.
He sighed, but couldn't help but froze.
Why do you sigh?
He shook his head, got out of bed, put on his armor, walked out of the tent and looked east, but it was still dark.
Xiang An's eyes were the only thing that shone in the darkness of dawn.
Now, King Huai Xiong Xin has established his capital in Xutai, and the meeting in Xuexian County has also ended hastily. The next step is how to fight against Zhang Han after the death of Wei.
During the night attack on Linji, one of the kings of Qi, Wei, was killed and the other committed suicide. Only three thousand of the tens of thousands of Chu troops who aided Wei escaped. Zhang Han powerfully declared Qin's toughness and invincibility to the Central Plains, making the princes from all walks of life panic.
Xiang An couldn't help but squint his eyes.
It's so sad that such a general is serving such an emperor.
While thinking, Xiang An heard what seemed like the sound of a weapon being waved.
Following the sound of the wind, he found that it was Zijuan doing morning exercises.
A long spear was waved and the wind blew, raising a few ounces of wind and sand.
Zijuan's younger brother Zihuai stood not far away, silently watching his sister's spear dance, rubbing her hands unnaturally.
Now all the generals have not left Xue County, so Zi Huai is still with Zi Juan, but Xiang An heard from Zi Juan that Zi Huai still seems to want to follow Liu Ji.
"How's it going? Your sister is a pretty dancer, isn't she?" Xiang An stood next to Zi Huai and asked with a smile.
Xiang An is more than 1.9 meters tall, while Zi Huai is less than 1.7 meters tall.
"...Hmm." Zi Huai muttered, just nodded without replying.
Xiang An shrugged, he knew that the child didn't like him, even hated him.
He wasn't going to be hot-tempered but cold-hearted. He was in a bad mood right now.
Sitting aside and watching Zijuan dance her spear, Xiang An was thinking about the next strategy.
The current location of the Western Chu army is Xue County in the east of Surabaya, and Huling, the largest city in the east of Surabaya, was originally the first target of Xiang Liang's battle, but when Liu Ji, who had surrendered to Xiang Liang, passed by, Huling It was recovered smoothly, so the next step of the battle center will naturally be to move westward.
To the west of Surabaya, there are several large cities such as Kangfu, Changyi, and Chengwu. They were originally the boundaries of the Wei State. Now that the Wei State is gone, Xiang Liang will naturally not be polite to these cities, and these cities further west , is Wenshui, a tributary of the river. Xiang Liang previously said that it would be used to form Dingtao to resist Zhang Han's defense line. Chengyang and Xiangcheng are on the west bank of Wenshui.
"Huh..." Putting the spear aside, Zijuan ended her morning exercise, grabbed the linen towel thrown next to her and wiped the sweat on her face.
She touched Zi Huai's head, then looked at Xiang An: "Where to fight next, second brother?"
She licked her slightly dry lips, with a hint of exhaustion in her expression.
Xiang An noticed this fatigue and couldn't help but lower his eyes slightly.
Not only Zijuan was tired, he was tired as well, the whole army was tired of veterans.
Since the war started, all of them have had no free time. Marching, fighting, marching, fighting has completely become the main theme of their lives.
Even when their "hated" knowledge teacher Wu Ju died in Linji, they had no time to grieve. Instead, they had to ask the first thing they asked when they opened their eyes and faced each other: "Where to fight next?"
"When we attack Changyi, we will also attack other counties along the way." Xiang An replied, "The troops are divided into four groups, cross the Surabaya River and fight towards the Wenshui River. The faster we fight, the better."
"Zhang Han has recaptured Linji and the Wei state has collapsed. His next step will definitely be one of Qi and Chu. We must act quickly."
Zi Juan nodded and turned to look at Zi Huai: "A Shu, are you going with your sister?"
Zi Huai was minding his own business, looking at Zi Juan's expectant eyes, he subconsciously shrank back and shook his head.
"I'd better go to General Liu's side..." He broke away from Zijuan's hand, with an unnatural smile on his face.
Looking at Zihuai running away, Zijuan stretched out a hand, as if she wanted to keep him.
"What's wrong with Ashu?" Xiang An asked with a frown.
Zijuan took back her hand and sighed: "I...I don't know, he seems to be avoiding me recently, but it's not that he wants to avoid me, but... It makes me feel that he wants to look at me, but doesn’t want me to get close to him.”
"...We're going to leave soon, why don't you go look for him again?" Xiang An could also see what Zijuan could see, "It's obvious that he doesn't hate you, he just Something is on my mind."
Zijuan turned her head and glanced east.
The sky was already mostly bright, and a red sun was about to emerge from the sky.
"No need." Zijuan shook her head, "We're going to march soon. I'm going to order the troops. We should be able to cross the Surabaya River if we hurry up today."
Looking at Zijuan's leaving figure and looking at the direction Zihuaai left, Xiang An shook his head.
"These siblings..."
After that, he also walked in the direction of his tent.
Zijuan was right, marching was more important now.
...
Zi Huai squatted in his tent, holding his head and trembling.
What happened to yourself? What exactly is going on?
Shouldn’t I miss my sister very much and love my sister very much? But why, now—
Will it be like this?
I desperately want to follow my sister, I desperately want to be close to my sister, but as long as my sister cares about me, I will be frightened, confused, evasive, and trembling.
You may even feel like vomiting.
"Why, why is this happening... It's obviously my sister, it's obviously my sister..." Zi Huai's body shook violently, and there was heartbreaking pain in her tone.
Wanting to care for my sister, wanting to love my sister, why did all this come to nothing after the reunion?
He swallowed hard and gritted his teeth.
A certain figure seemed to appear in front of him.
"Look, you are just this kind of person." The figure seemed to be saying this with a strange smile.
"Look, your love for your sister is just that." The figure seemed to be getting closer.
"...Stop talking." Zi Huai whimpered helplessly.
"Are you jealous?"
"Jealous that your sister has a better life than you."
"Jealous that your sister now has other people around her to protect her and shelter her."
"Are these your privileges? Don't you think so?"
"...Stop talking!" Zi Huai's angry voice came out from between his teeth.
"It's so pathetic, Ashu, it's so pathetic." The man had already leaned into Zi Huai's ear and said word by word, "Compared to your sister, you who were adopted by me——"
"It's really, really sad."
"I told you to stop talking!
! "
Zheng——
The tent was turned into pieces.
Zi Huai was standing there, holding two daggers in his hands, his eyes were red, and he was breathing heavily.
