Chapter 1083: He Looks a Little Ugly, Right?

Of course Cheng Chumo came here because of what the emperor and the others had just said.

He found a small place to sit down in front of Zhao Chen and looked around again.

Seeing that no one came in, he whispered, "Zhao Da, do you know what His Majesty and the generals discussed just now?"

"What was discussed?" Zhao Chen echoed Cheng Chumo casually.

"His Majesty said that he wants you to take over the command of our army, that is, to replace Commander Xu and command the army."

"You said this news is not terrible!" Cheng Chumo said to Zhao Chen.

Looking into Zhao Chen's eyes, I wanted to see a hint of surprise in his eyes.

But what Cheng Chumo didn't know was that Niu Jinda had already mentioned this matter to Zhao Chen before. .??.

He even told Zhao Chen that he would discuss this suggestion with the emperor.

When Zhao Chen heard this, he was naturally not surprised.

"Zhao Da, why are you not surprised at all? He is the commander-in-chief of the entire army. How old are you..."

"This is impossible. You know my age. If I guessed correctly, Uncle Cheng should have stopped him!" Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Chumo with a smile.

"You also know this?" Cheng Chumo looked shocked.

He turned around and looked around again, then turned around cautiously, "Could it be that my old man came over to tell you in advance?"

Cheng Chumo was a little panicked.

If his father catches him coming to tell Zhao Chen, then the old man will not be able to deal with him?

"No one is coming." Seeing Cheng Chumo's appearance, Zhao Chen was inevitably amused by him.

When this guy talked about Cheng Yaojin in front of him, he dared to say anything.

But if he really got in front of Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Chumo would be like a beaten eggplant, not daring to say a word.

"I thought the old guy was hiding here." Cheng Chumo breathed a sigh of relief.

He moved the pony to Zhao Chen's side.

"What you said is really right. The old guy did try to dissuade His Majesty, saying that Zhao Da, you are not very old and it would be difficult for you to convince the people as the commander-in-chief."

"Zhao Da, don't take it personally. I absolutely support you." Cheng Chumo quickly cleared the relationship with Cheng Yaojin. <

br>

If Cheng Yaojin knew that he had given birth to such a good son, he would probably be very angry.

"Cheng Er, don't worry, this matter will not have any impact on me. Uncle Niu told me about this before."

"I refused at that time..."

"Zhao Da, why did you refuse such a good thing?"

"How many people do you know who dream of being the commander-in-chief of an entire army?"

"Besides, it's not like you don't have the strength?"

"If you command the entire army, you can definitely lead us to defeat Yuengai Suwen." Cheng Chumo was a little excited.

The spittle barely missed Zhao Chen's face.

Zhao Chen moved his body slightly back and asked, "What if we lose?"

"Lost?" Cheng Chumo was stunned, then frowned and said, "How could you lose?"

"Cheng Er, I'm just an ordinary person. Everyone will encounter times when they are unable to do what they can."

"Including the reinforcements brought by the emperor, the total army is more than 70,000."

"It's inappropriate for all their lives to be put in my hands!" Zhao Chen shook his head.

At first Niu Jinda only thought that Zhao Chen didn't want to get into such trouble.

But little did he know that Zhao Chen didn't want to bear such a big burden.

He can help with suggestions.

But he was unwilling to give him full command.

When making suggestions, he could act as a bystander, but if he was the commander, looking at the bloody casualties, Zhao Chen's mentality would fluctuate greatly.

No matter how good-hearted he is, Zhao Chen is just a young man who is not as good as a weakling.

This is far inferior to the cold-bloodedness of a battle-hardened veteran.

Cheng Chumo opened his mouth. He really hoped that Zhao Chen could become the commander of the entire army.

This is much more glorious than any academy gentleman.

But when Zhao Chen said this, Cheng Chu

Mo didn’t know what to say!

"Commander Xu looked a little unhappy when he heard the news." Seeing that Cheng Chu was silent, Zhao Chen asked.

Cheng Chumo nodded.

When he came out, he also saw Xu Shiji coming out and found that his face was a little pale.

I must have felt very uncomfortable hearing what the emperor said.

"Don't publicize this matter. Go back and eat quickly." Zhao Chen pushed Cheng Chumo away.

He also left the camp.

…

The soldiers brought dinner, but Xu Shiji had no appetite at all.

He knew that the emperor valued Zhao Chen very much.

But he never thought that the emperor would do this.

Is it true that for Zhao Chen, an old man who has followed the emperor for more than ten years and has no merit but hard work, is so unworthy of a human being?

Xu Shiji said in his heart that it was impossible not to have resentment.

Looking at the flickering candlelight on the table, Xu Shiji suddenly felt a little tired. He sighed and was about to undress and rest, when he suddenly saw a figure approaching from outside.

"Commander Xu!" Zhao Chen's voice sounded outside.

"General Zhao, I have rested. Let's talk about anything tomorrow." Xu Shiji sat on the horse and said something to Zhao Chen.

He was not blaming Zhao Chen, but Xu Shiji was very dissatisfied with the emperor's attitude.

He doesn't even want to see Zhao Chen now.

Even the title has become unfamiliar.

Previously, he regarded Zhao Chen as his nephew, and called Zhao Chen by his name just like Cheng Yaojin and others.

Now even General Zhao has shouted out.

"Commander Xu, this matter is extremely urgent and we can't wait until tomorrow." Zhao Chen said again.

Xu Shiji frowned.

He was not sure whether Zhao Chen's so-called extreme urgency was true or false.

Thinking that there are more than 70,000 people in the army, if it is really...

"Come in." Xu Shiji said.

Zhao

Chen opened the tent door and walked into the tent. He saw Xu Shiji sitting on the horse, showing no signs of resting and saying nothing.

"Commander Xu." Zhao Chen walked up to Xu Shiji and cupped his hands.

Xu Shiji stood up, nodded to Zhao Chen, kicked Mazar where he was sitting just now, and motioned for Zhao Chen to sit down.

"If you have anything to say, tell me. I'm old and can't compare to you young people." Xu Shiji sat down on the other side and made puns when he spoke.

Of course Zhao Chen could tell that Xu Shiji was hiding something behind his words.

Isn't he here just to solve this matter?

"Commander Xu hasn't eaten yet." Zhao Chen looked at the food that had been left to cool down.

Xu Shiji said nothing, but frowned.

He believed that Zhao Chen already knew what the emperor wanted to discuss with them.

But what does it mean for Zhao Chen to come here now?

"The matter that His Majesty just discussed with you was suggested by Uncle Niu. The Emperor himself had no such plan."

"But Uncle Niu has suggested it. Your Majesty must bring this matter up for discussion, otherwise it will be difficult to reply."

"Although some of the little tricks that the boy has used these few times have given the soldiers some confidence, they are still just small tricks."

"What about commanding an army? I don't have the ability, and I don't want to be bothered by these things all day long."

"I came here today to ask Military Advisor Xu not to misunderstand His Majesty, nor to lose confidence in Your Majesty." Zhao Chen slowly explained to Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji looked at Zhao Chen.

He knew that some of Zhao Chen's words were actually lying to him.

At least Zhao Chen's ability, no one can question it.

"Why didn't that old guy Niu Jinda die in the hands of Yuan Gaisuwen? He came back to shake the morale of our army?" Zhao Chen gave him the steps. Can Xu Shiji follow the steps?

It's just that the anger in my heart is not so easy to get rid of.

But he could neither scold the emperor nor Zhao Chen. Niu Jinda, the initiator of this matter, would naturally be the target of his anger.
