lady, please calm down

Outside the station of the 22nd Regiment, it instantly became a martial arts field.

When he learned that his brothers were fighting with the Jinghu Army, he quickly alerted the surrounding friendly forces.

Han Shizhong, who was wrestling with his subordinates in his camp, heard this and immediately said: "No matter who is fighting with the Jinghu Army, I, Han Shizhong, will help out!"

However, when he rushed to the outskirts of the incident scene with several hundred personal guards, he was stopped by Commander Shen of the Second Guards Regiment.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to stop Han Shizhong, but Captain Shen. He is very brave. Last year, Han Shizhong was instigated by Peng Er, Wu Kui and others to challenge Shen Tietan, but he was shot by the latter in front of everyone. Sweep under the horse.

The most respected thing among men in the army is martial arts. From then on, Old Han was polite to Commander Shen when he saw him.

Secondly, Commander Shen has an unusual relationship with the King of Chu, and in a sense he can represent the King of Chu.

People's face naturally has to be sold.
Han Shizhong followed Tiedan to Gaopo. Seeing the King of Chu here, he couldn't help but grin. The latter laughed and scolded: "Your nose is sharper than a dog's. Wherever there is excitement, you will join in, lest the world will not be happy." chaos!"

Han Shizhong said confidently: "After the Jinghu soldiers made trouble in Huaibei the year before last, they ran faster than rabbits and didn't let us catch them! They are not convinced, and we are not convinced yet! We have long wanted to find a chance to deal with them. ”

Chen Chu looked at the battlefield below. Kang Shitou's side had more people. Secondly, his organization and discipline were far superior to those of the Jinghu soldiers. The three hundred Jinghu soldiers faced Huaibei soldiers that were two or three times their size and were quickly divided and dispersed. , some people have already begged for mercy, and only the core dozens of people are left to defend back to back.

Seeing that his side had completely gained the upper hand, Chen Chucai responded to Han Shizhong's words, "It used to be the past, but now since they are all under the command and control of Tiance Mansion, including Pao Ze, Fifth Brother Han has to put aside his past grudges."

Han Shizhong, who had been paying attention to the situation below, said bluntly: "Your Majesty, if Kang Shitou and the others have suffered a loss, do you still say that?"

How should we, the King of Chu, answer this question?

Zhe Yanwen, the military adviser, couldn't help but glare at the rude man, but Chen Chu laughed loudly and said: "Be reasonable when you take advantage. If you suffer a loss, you have to fight back and then be reasonable. General Zhe, that's it. I'll help you." Go to the Jinghu Army Camp and personally invite Marshal Wu to come."

It was impossible for the Jinghu Army Camp to be unaware of the large-scale brawl just over a mile away.

When Zhe Yanwen entered the camp, the atmosphere in the camp was already very tense. A group of sergeants were waiting outside Wugong's tent, seemingly asking to be sent out to support his brothers.

However, as the commander of the first army, Wu Gong knew the current situation clearly. After scolding several subordinates, he learned that Zhe Yanwen was coming in person and hurriedly came out of his tent to welcome him.

After a brief conversation between the two, Wu Gong heard that the incident had alarmed the King of Chu, and he quickly took a few subordinates to follow Zhe Yanwen to the scene of the incident.

By the time they arrived, the fighting was over.

This battle looked extraordinary, but no one was carrying weapons, and most of them suffered from skin injuries, with only a few fractures.

The wounded members of the Jinghu Army lay on the ground, groaning in pain. Xie Tianlu and others, who had been resisting to the end, were tied into rice dumplings and thrown aside, but they kept yelling and cursing.

The Huaibei Army sergeant who provoked him went over and kicked him from time to time.

The medical staff of the Huaibei Army have already entered the hospital and started treatment, using willow splints to fix the injured fractures.

So, when Wu Gong approached, he saw the wounded being treated by Huaibei, his subordinates squatting with their hands on their heads, and Xie Tianlu and others who were tied up with five flowers.

No matter what the cause of today's incident, they are soldiers after all. Seeing his subordinates in such a mess and useless, Wu Gong couldn't help but his face darkened, and he stopped a Huaibei Army sergeant at will and said with great displeasure: "Who is responsible here? Let our soldiers be released immediately.”

The Huaibei soldier turned his head and looked at Wugong for a while, almost asking directly, "Who are you?"

Sun Wei on the side, as the boss of the Jinghu Army causing trouble this time, was the most annoyed. When he saw this, he directly shouted: "You are blind, this is Marshal Wu, the governor of Jinghu in the Great Zhou Dynasty! Don't hurry up and obey the order!"

"You're fucking blind!"

When he heard that he was not an official of Qi State, the sergeant opened his mouth and cursed.

After all, Sun Wei was the commander of an army. When had he been scolded like this by a leading soldier, he got so angry that he actually pulled out his saber with a noise.

Show your sword?
The atmosphere that had just calmed down suddenly became restless again, and the soldiers of the 22nd Regiment quickly gathered around.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Wu Gong was about to ask Zhe Yanwen to come forward, but suddenly he heard a shout from outside, "The Privy Council envoy and the King of Chu are here!"

But dozens of steps away, a bay-red horse carrying a young general slowly arrived.

Kang Shitou, the leader of the 22nd Regiment, immediately shouted, "All the 22nd Regiment are here, line up!"

A moment, just a moment.

The soldiers who had just surrounded them from all directions quickly gathered together with Kang Shitou as the center like a receding tide.

Immediately, the sergeants from the two battalions outside the camp lined up in squad and platoon units, and then quickly formed the team in company and battalion units.
Less than forty breaths later, the scene that was still a mess just now was clearly divided into two parts.

On one side was a team of a thousand people lined up in eight neat rows, in total silence.

On the other side, the people from the Jinghu Army were squatting on the ground. Seeing the arrival of their commander, they wanted to get up, but they seemed to be afraid of being beaten by the Huaibei Army. For a moment, some people stood up and ran towards Wugong, while others were still squatting. Some people were half-crouching and half-standing, unable to make up their minds.

Those lying on the ground are still moaning when they should be moaning, and they are still screaming in pain when they should be crying.

The one who was tied up was still yelling and cursing.

A mess.
Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

Looking back at the Huaibei Army, not only was there no noise in the entire team, but even the wounded who were also injured and even had unfinished willow boards on their forearms, even though they were sweating in pain, stood in the team like javelins. , with a determined look on his face.

Shao Qing and Chen Chu approached on horseback. Wu Gong wanted to step forward to speak, but the former went straight to the 22nd Regiment.

Kang Shitou, who stood at the head of the team, walked out of the line with standard steps, gave a chest-high salute, and said loudly: "Reporting to the King of Chu, the first and second battalions of the 22nd Regiment were supposed to have 1,024 people, but they actually turned out to be 1,000." Zero twenty-four people, please give instructions from King Chu!"

Chen Chu returned the salute and then said: "Send the wounded to the medical center, while the officers above the company and battalion level will stay, and the rest will return to the camp!"

"Yes!"

Kang Shitou turned around and repeated the order. In the queue of more than a thousand people, more than a dozen company and battalion-level officers marched out of the queue. The remaining nearly a thousand people turned in order under the command and walked towards the camp with the same stride. Go.

The neat steps stepped on the ground, making a clanging sound!

When they fought just now, they were as powerful as tigers!

Now we have gathered together, but they are all in uniform order
The hairs on Wu Gong and others stood up. They were all officers, so they naturally knew what a strong army looked like. But strong armies in the world generally have a common problem, that is, they are unruly and difficult to control.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, this was also the implicit rule of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to build a strong army, so they must be tolerated to be more domineering. There is even a saying that if the soldiers are restrained too hard, they will lose their blood. How can they fight without their blood?
But this team in front of me is said to be the Huaibei New Army, but it can move freely between violence and peace?
Experts see the skills, but outsiders only think they are handsome.

The high-spirited young men were dressed in tight-fitting spring military uniforms made of woolen fabrics and lined up neatly. Their masculine energy filled the world.

The girls' school students who had just walked out of the guard post at the camp gate had peach blossoms in their eyes. Si Lan held Mingxiu's arm tightly, but her eyes were not willing to leave the team for a moment. She shook Mingxiu excitedly, "Oh! He’s so handsome, no wonder so many classmates in school have proposed marriage to soldiers recently!”

Here, He Bei saw the King of Chu arriving in person and quickly walked over.

Today, because Zhao Xiangyi spoke upright, the Jin Yi Institute group did not make it difficult for them. At this moment, they saw Na He Bei walking up to a man in civilian clothes on horseback. After bowing respectfully, he reported something. Then the young man on the horse unexpectedly He glanced over here, then gave them a gentle smile from afar.

Si Lan, who is a little nymphomaniac, couldn't help but squeeze Mingxiu's arm tighter and stuttered when speaking, "That person looks like the King of Chu!"

"It seems so. I saw the King of Chu when the soldiers were paraded through the streets in the ninth year of Fuchang!"

Mingxiu's definite answer made Si Lan sweat break out on his excited nose, "Ouch, I'm going to faint, King Chu was smiling at us just now!"

After saying that, Si Lan quickly let go of Mingxiu's arm, took the time to straighten his clothes and hair, and stood there with his head bowed.

This action made Mingxiu confused and asked: "Si Lan, what are you doing?"

But before Si Lan could answer, a classmate who knew her laughed and said, "Si Lan, do you think the King of Chu is interested in you?"

Si Lan had a good appearance and did not say anything when he heard the words. He only raised his neck proudly.

With this look, he undoubtedly answered his classmates with actions, but Mingxiu covered her mouth in surprise and whispered: "The King of Chu has several women in his family. Aren't you going to be a new-era woman like Lady Ding? Are you willing to be someone's side room?"

Si Lan glanced at the King of Chu from afar, and the King of Chu also happened to look here again. Si Lan lowered his head in shame and said: "Being a side chamber for others will not even kill me. But I am the King of Chu." OK."

Behind him, Hutou and Jiacheng looked at each other. The former silently slapped his chest, as if vomiting.

The latter curled his lips slightly, their expressions were different, but they expressed the same meaning. My brother, you are overthinking, my brother smiled in this direction, he was just saying hello to us.

More than a hundred steps away, Chen Chu looked away from Hutou after hearing He Bei's investigation results.

Then he called Wu Gong and others to him and asked He Bei to tell the story again.

Sun Wei immediately called Zhu De'en, who had a bruised nose and face, to ask and confront him. Zhu De'en was also an honest man, and he accepted the matter immediately. But to him, what happened today was all a misunderstanding. Du Hong thought that the girl was a prostitute who came to solicit customers, so he patted her.

But I didn't want to lose my life because of it.

After hearing the client's own account, Wu Gong and Sun Wei were speechless. After all, it was their subordinates who were at fault first. Wu Gong wanted to settle the matter and said: "Since it is all a misunderstanding, let's just let this matter go. Those who participated in the beating today will The sergeants who fight will be punished by both sides."

The so-called punishment by both parties is nothing more than Wu Gong giving himself a step down. In what happened today, one person from the Jinghu Army died, and the three hundred people who participated in the fight were also beaten to death by the Huaibei Army. The series of actions that the Huaibei Army took before lining up and returning to camp was more like a silent demonstration.

There is a strong momentum to keep doing it if you don’t accept it.

Most of the officers who came with Wugong had the same idea. They had never fought before, and when they went to the Northland in the future, they would have to accept the control of the King of Jin. Even food and grass would be temporarily allocated by Tiance Mansion. Under such circumstances, should we do it for them? A big-headed soldier collided with King Jin?

But just as the incident was about to subside, Xie Tianlu, who had just been untied, suddenly rushed out of the way and ran closer, saying: "No! One of my brothers died, I can't end it like this!"

Chen Chu was particularly excited when he saw him. He couldn't help but let the guard Jie Tianlu come forward. Before Jie Tianlu could speak, he saw his superior Sun Wei scolding him: "You are just coming from a small camp to cause chaos! Is there any place for you to talk here!"

Xie Tianlu's face was red with blood on his mouth and nose, but after hearing the scolding from his immediate superior, he couldn't help feeling aggrieved, his eyes turned red, and he said: "Du Hong was wrong, but his crime is not worthy of death! He is just an ignorant person in the eyes of Commander Sun. He’s a big-name soldier, but he’s my brother. I need to get justice for him!”

Hearing what he said, Chen Chu, who was originally uninterested, took another look at Xie Tianlu and said, "Do you know about my 'three murders' in Huaibei?"

Jie Tianlu wiped his nosebleed, raised his head and said, "I don't know!"

"Okay, then I will tell you that, as the name suggests, there are three crimes of killing, one is indiscriminate killing, the other is robbery, and the third is adultery. If you commit any of the three crimes, it is a death penalty! When you come to Huaibei, you will be punished I am bound by Huaibei military discipline! That Du Hong committed adultery and deserves to die!"

"Those who don't know are not guilty! I refuse to accept it!"

All the senior officers of the Jinghu Army were silent, but only one battalion of Xie Tianlu was forcing himself to stand up to his subordinates, which made Chen Chu more and more interested. He only heard Chen Chu jokingly say: "So what if you don't accept it? Could it be that you still want to fight with me?" Will the Huaibei Army fight again? "

As a participant in the conflict just now, Xie Tianlu clearly felt that he could not defeat the Huaibei Army. Even if he fought again, it would only make his brothers suffer another round of flesh and blood with him.

But he was unwilling to let Du Hong die in vain.

Jie Tianlu's face was tangled for a moment, then he looked at Chen Chu sideways, and suddenly pointed at the eldest son, saying: "I will challenge him to a one-on-one fight! Life or death."

"."

After a moment of silence, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out from behind Chen Chu, and even the eldest son who was named grinned.

This Jie Tianlu, who do you want to pick? Why don’t you pick me, the most powerful general in Huaibei?
Chen Chu also said with a smile on his lips: "Do you know who he is?"

"Whoever he is!"

"Hahaha, your courage is commendable! I tell you, this is the eldest son of Yao who single-handedly killed twenty-seven people in Tiefutu in Tokyo City."

"."

Jie Tianlu was obviously taken aback, as if he didn't expect to pick such a killer right out of the gate, but then he gritted his teeth and said, "The eldest son of Yao is the eldest son of Yao!"

Chen Chu couldn't help being surprised and said with a smile: "You don't want to change to someone else?"

Jie Tianlu looked behind Chen Chu again, raised his head and said proudly: "I don't hit women!"

"Hahaha"

There was another burst of laughter, and Chen Chu turned around, and then he realized. The eldest son and Tie Dan were on either side of him. From Xie Tianlu's point of view, they disdained to fight with women, so naturally the eldest son was the only suitable opponent.

Even after learning that this man was a fierce general from Huaibei, he did not change his mind.

Tie Dan's mouth tightened and he was very dissatisfied.

But Chen Chu was a little impressed by the stubbornness in front of him, so he asked one more question, "Are you really not afraid of being beaten to death?"

"If you beat me to death, I will beat you to death!"

With that said, Xie Tianlu pointed to the suit of armor on his body and said to his eldest son: "If I am beaten to death by you, this ancestral golden scale armor on my body will be yours; if I am lucky enough to win, you will have to pay me three hundred dollars!" "

The eldest son, who was originally eager to try, immediately lost interest when he heard that the other party was fighting for money, as if he was humiliated.

Chen Chu asked strangely: "Are you so short of money? Are you risking your life?"

Xie Tianluxu saw that his eldest son was not wearing armor, and felt that it was unfair for him to wear armor and fight, so he started to take off his armor, but he said: "The life of a man killed in a fight is not worth anything, is three hundred guans not enough? Du Hong may be guilty. , but he died like this, but he can’t even get back the pension. He is my soldier, and I have to take care of him! If I win this money, I will send it back to his home to feed his mother, wife and children."

"."

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and even the Huaibei generals who had a joking expression calmed down.

Isn't that what soldiers are like? No matter what their position is, a boss who is loyal, willing to stand up for his brothers, and is even willing to risk his life for it is ultimately admirable.

"bring it on!"

Xie Tianlu took off his armor, took two steps back, and cupped his fists towards the eldest son.

The eldest son hesitated. Hesitating and unconsciously looked at Brother Chu who could always help him make decisions.

Chen Chu looked down at Xie Tianlu. After a few breaths, he took off a purse containing cargo tickets from his waist and threw it over, "There are at least three to five hundred cargo tickets here. You can take it and send it to Du Hong's house." ”

Xie Tianlu was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't figured out what was going on. Over there, Chen Chu had lightly lifted the reins of his horse and was about to turn elsewhere.

Then Jie Tianlu quickly picked up his purse and took two steps after him, "Aren't you going to fight? Even if you don't fight, I'll take the money!"

Chen Chu, who had already taken seven or eight steps, did not look back. He waved his hand directly behind him and said: "No fighting! My brothers only fight on the battlefield to kill thieves and comfort the people. Those who are brave and ruthless are scoundrels. Why! Xie Tianlu, I remember you. If you want to be a good man, you will see the real chapter on the battlefield!"

"It's coming, it's coming!"

More than a hundred steps away, several people from the girls' school began to breathe quickly when they saw that King Chu was actually riding towards them on horseback.

Mingxiu and others once suspected that King Chu really looked at Si Lan?
Until King Chu passed in front of several people and stopped directly in front of his classmates Zhao Xiangyi and Liu Jiacheng behind them.

"Why are you two here?"

This was the first sentence King Chu said, but it was not addressed to them, but it did not prevent them from looking at Zhao Xiangyi and Liu Jiacheng.

Who are these two people?

Later, Zhao Xiangyi, who was cold and cold in the school, looked up and smiled sweetly at King Chu, saying, "Brother, sister asked me to give Brother Heng two sets of clothes today, so I invited Jiacheng to keep me company."

These two little ones were incompatible with each other a few years ago, but now they go out together
Chen Chu smiled and said, "Are you done? Come home with me."

"Oh~" Hu Tou agreed, then stepped forward and touched Xiaohong's horse face, saying: "Brother, we are still five or six miles back to the city. My feet hurt and I don't want to leave."

Nowadays, in the palace, the only ones who can call Chen Chu "brother" are the sisters Hutou and Jiacheng.

Normally, Hutou is fine, but in front of Jiacheng, she always wants to look a little special, consciously or unconsciously.

For example, if she wanted to ride with Chen Chu now, Jiacheng would definitely not be able to ride on it.

Chen Chu chuckled, got off his horse, pulled up the tiger's head, and then stretched out his hand toward Jiachuan and said, "Let's go up together. Tonight, we will eat pig trough skewers. This is what we ate when we opened a shop in Cross Slope. You and I Your sister hasn’t even tried it.”

After all, Jiacheng was not as close as Hutou and Chen Chu. After a moment of hesitation, he took Chen Chu's hand and got on the horse.

After getting on the horse and sitting firmly, Jiakui did not forget to bow down and salute Si Lan, Mingxiu and other classmates.

A few people who were completely confused hurriedly returned the greetings. Only then did Chen Chu remember these people and told them, "Now there are guest troops stationed outside the city. No more than in the past when they were all our own soldiers, you should go home earlier." , so that parents won’t worry.”

Without any mental preparation, a few people suddenly came into close contact with a big shot that their parents had always talked about.

Si Lan, on the other hand, hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Brother, thank you for your trouble. We will go back right away."

When Chen Chu heard this title, he looked at Hutou in confusion, and Si Lan quickly explained: "We are classmates with Xiangyi and Jiacheng."

Calling a classmate's elder brother "elder brother" still makes sense.

Chen Chu chuckled and led the horse north.

On a long spring day, with tender willows and green grass as the background, a tall man holds the reins of a horse, and two girls sit on it, walking slowly and peacefully.

"Brother, how many days are you going to go on an expedition again?"

"Ah."

"How long will it take to come back this time?"

“I don’t know yet”

"Hey, how long will it take for the war to be over? In the past ten years, my brother has not been home half of the time."

"It's almost time. When the Northland calms down, there won't be many battles to fight" (End of Chapter)
