Chapter 38 Section 12

Zheng Sichu had picked up the white wooden gun and got on his horse. He was still panting, but he still said sharply: "Your Excellency is amazing, I want to ask you for advice." Chen Zhong seemed to ignore his challenge, bowed to Zheng Sichu immediately, and said, "General Zheng, may I ask your name?" Zheng Sichu was taken aback, this Chen Zhong was quite polite to him, and seemed to have some respect.He said: "My name is Zheng Sichu!" "Zheng Sichu?" Chen Zhongxiang touched the name, and said with a sneer: "General Zheng, if you can live to five years later, I'm afraid you will become my biggest opponent at that time, but not today. Be careful when you go back, don't trust others too much, Live longer and come back to challenge me in five years."

"Don't trust others too much", this sentence was really from the heart of Chen Zhong, and Zheng Sichu also felt that this sentence seemed to have hidden meaning, and was a little dazed for a while.At this moment, Chen Zhong waved his hand and said: "Let's go." He then said to Zheng Sichu: "General Zheng, please don't try to catch up, otherwise, with General Zheng's good quality, the jade will be broken today, Mr. Chen It would be a pity." He used to be unsmiling and serious, but as he got older, he would say some sarcastic jokes. When Chen Zhong and the others left on the path, Cheng Diwen patted his horse over and said, "Si Chu, are you alright?"

Zheng Sichu shook his horse and sighed: "What a powerful Wudeying camp! Alas." His sigh was extremely long.When he set off, he was full of ambition, only thinking that with his military skills and spear skills, coupled with the elite of the Fire Corps, the enemy would be vulnerable to a single blow. The technique is useless under the divine power of this enemy general. five years.Five years later, I will definitely let you experience the power of the Twelve Golden Spear Techniques. At this moment, an officer came over and said, "Officer Zheng, do you want to chase him?"

Before Zheng Sichu could speak, Cheng Diwen said in surprise: "I can't pursue them. The enemy's military discipline is extremely strict, and the arrangements must have been made properly. If they pursue them, they will suffer." Zheng Sichu nodded, and said: "Don't chase, we are not familiar with these trails, we should count the number of casualties. By the way, let's bury the corpses of the enemy soldiers too." Dozens of people died on both sides of this fierce fight, Wude Camp only took away the wounded, and the dead remained where they were.The officer led people over to count, and at this time another officer came with dozens of people and said, "Officer Zheng, this is the brother in the army who escorted the grain and grass. He rode to the sea and died in battle."

Zheng Sichu felt pity in his heart.He asked for orders to come out to escort the grain truck, but the grain truck still couldn't be saved, feeling depressed, he said: "Let's go together. Brothers, you all tried your best, it's Zheng Sichu who is incompetent." At this time, an officer who just came over said: "Officer Zheng, you have tried your best, but the enemy general will be Chen Zhong, I really can't think of it." "Who is Chen Zhong?" The officer said: "Doesn't Staff Zheng know? He was the commander of the Xinzi Battalion of the Wude Camp back then. He was the third commander of the Wude Camp's Fifth Commander, and now he is also the number two person in Tianluguan. "

Then Chen Zhong actually has such a high status!Zheng Sichu was taken aback.The officer was still eloquently saying: "Back then, Chen Zhong was the deputy general, only one level lower than General Bi..." He felt talkative when he said this, and immediately stopped talking.Zheng Sichu knew in his heart that he was reminded of the prohibition against talking about the previous dynasty.This officer is nearly forty years old, and he is very tall.Forty years old is still very tall, probably because of the tiredness of talking too much. When the whole team went back, Zheng Sichu intentionally walked at the end.When there was no one around, he called the chief aside and whispered: "Brother, how much do you know about the enemy army?"

Na Shichang was very happy when Zheng Sichu called him "brother", but he still hesitated to speak, Zheng Sichu said in a low voice, "There is no one else at this time, so hurry up, this is a military plane." Na Shichang looked around, and Fang said: "That's a matter of the old empire. Back then, the four armies of land, fire, water, and wind in the empire were all famously strong soldiers." Zheng Sichu pondered for a while and said, "The Fire Legion is General Bi's team, right?" "yes." Zheng Sichu was a little dazed.In this way, the Wude Battalion of the Legion in that place fought side by side with the Fire Legion and the Republican Army at the beginning, but after so many years, the two legions will become enemies. The changes in the world are really unimaginable.

It is precisely because of the inextricable relationship between the army and the army of the old empire that the whole country cannot talk about the former dynasty.But even if you keep it a secret, can you keep it a secret forever? The creed of the Republic is people-oriented and people-oriented, and it is called "the people are the masters of the country", but Zheng Sichu feels more and more that this is just a lie. When more than a hundred people led by Chen Zhong entered Tianlu Pass and reported to Chu Shuai, Chu Shuai rode on his horse and remained calm.But when Xue Tingxuan was carried in, Chen Zhong still found her trembling slightly on the horse.

Even if Xingchu has the bearing of a commander, she is still a young woman after all.Chen Zhong didn't know whether he should be happy or sad in his heart. When he saw Xingchu giving orders, he looked like a master strategist, and he was also a little sad. The war took away the happiness she should have, and made people almost forget this. Just a girl.But seeing her move, Chen Zhong became a little worried. After all, the previous generation of generals of the Wude Camp were already old, and they had to rely on Xingchu and the others to pass on the banner of the Wude Camp.However, it is too difficult to put the burden of fate on the shoulders of a young girl.

Shuai Chu, where are you? He stared blankly at the sky.The sky in Langyue Province is extremely clear, and it seems that you can see the sky thousands of miles away at a glance.There circled a dark speck which must have been a great bird flying very high. If it was that person, even in a desperate situation, Chen Zhong still had confidence and would never be as anxious as he is now. After taking off his battle armor, he was still a little worried, so he went to see Xue Tingxuan first, and then walked to the commander's mansion alone.Xue Tingxuan was seriously injured and was still unconscious, but the medical officer said that his life was safe and his muscles and tendons were not injured. Apart from a few more scars, there would be no serious problems.

Xingchu stood in front of the window, writing and drawing on a piece of paper, it seemed that Xue Tingxuan's injury didn't take her heart at all.Chen Zhong walked behind her, but before he spoke, Xing Chu turned his head and smiled as if eyes had grown from his back: "Father, what's the matter?" Chen Zhong walked to her side and said, "Ting Xuan is fine. Although he was seriously injured, he didn't hurt any muscles or bones." The pen in Xingchu's hand trembled lightly, and said, "It's just fine." "What are you drawing?" Xing Chu frowned and said: "I'm looking for what's wrong with that flight, why I can't fly up. Sigh, I always have no clue." Chen Zhong sighed, and said: "There is only one Xue Shangshu in the world." Xue Shangshu, who invented the flying machine, is known as one of the most skillful hands in the past three hundred years. Without him, no one would know how to make the flying machine. Xing Chu said: "It's not just Xue Shangshu. Although the Republican Army doesn't have flying machines, doesn't it also have airships?" She lowered her head and sketched on the paper again, even frowning.Chen Zhong looked at her, feeling pain in his heart for no reason.After a pause, he said in a low voice: "That day when I went to ambush the rebel grain transport team, I met a marching staff officer named Zheng Sichu." Xing Chu didn't seem to care, and said, "Did you kill him?" "No." Chen Zhong lowered his voice, "I suspect he is Chu Shuai's disciple." Xing Chu raised her head abruptly: "What?" Although others called her "Chu Shuai", the Chu Shuai that his father said at this time obviously did not refer to himself. Chen Zhong was a little worried, nodded and said: "He can also teach the Twelve Golden Spear Technique. Only Chu Shuai knew how to use this spear in the entire army, and the saber used by that boy was actually an invisible sword. When I saw When he looked like this, I almost screamed." Xing Chu put the pen on the table and murmured: "If he is really Chu Shuai's disciple, what should we do?" Chen Zhong was also a little dazed, and said: "I don't know. Xingchu, sometimes I also wonder what's the point of the Wude Camp still insisting on resisting. Straightforward, not to mention that there are no outsiders around, so he immediately speaks out what is in his heart. Xingchu closed her eyes, as if she was also enduring the dizziness caused by Chen Zhong's words. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "Father, stop talking, or I won't know what to do." She looked Looking outside, he whispered again: "Have you talked to General Cao?" "Cao Wendao will definitely think that I am suspicious, and saying these words will disturb the morale of the army. It's just that the young man named Zheng Sichu is somewhat similar to Chu Shuai in terms of expression and appearance. I really don't know who he is." "Father, don't think too much." Xing Chu walked to Chen Zhong's side, took his hand and said in a low voice.Chen Zhong wiped his forehead with his hand, and said with a forced smile: "Xingchu, don't worry about this, even if Chu Shuai is in the enemy camp, we have to go on at this point." Xingchu was startled, then suddenly shook his head and said: "No, he will definitely not be in the enemy camp, otherwise the enemy would have sent him to attack." At the beginning, Wude Battalion's tactics were known as the unity of heart and formation. In addition to the battle of being invincible in the world, they also attached great importance to heart warfare. Every time they faced a battle, they always tried to find the enemy's weakness and resorted to heart warfare. Fighting is supplemented, so although Chen Zhong doesn't like to use tricks, he is familiar with this kind of method.Thinking about it, Bi Wei is not a weakling. If Chu Shuai was really in the Fire Legion, the enemy would have used it to engage in psychological warfare, and most of the veterans in Tianluguan would lose their fighting spirit.From this point of view, I did have some concerns.He nodded and said, "You're right."
