Zhaoying Gorge, the base camp of the border army of Qin.

With a long breath of turbid air, Deng Pu slowly retracted his momentum and stood up straight, and thunderous applause was already ringing around him, and the cheers came and went.

Deng Pu, who was naked, his upper body was like Qin Feng, stacking one scar after another on top of each other, these scars were what he had gained on the battlefield over the years, and of course, it was also with these scars that he sat in today's position.

The Deng family is a family of the Qin State, and there are many children, and there are naturally many gentlemen, but such a person will never be able to go to the inner circle of the Deng family, and he can only receive a good salary at home for the rest of his life and then die of a drunken dream. And people like Deng Pu who really hold the power of the Deng clan are all polished from the most difficult places.

is the same as the Deng family, and the Bian family, who fought to the death with them. What outsiders see is that these children of the family control the power of Western Qin from generation to generation, but they don't see that these outstanding children of the family have also paid a great price for this. There are many children in the family, but there are also many deaths.

From this point of view, the state of Qin, which was located on the western border, was much stronger than the wealthy Southern Chu. The children of the family of Nanchu are gradually corrupted in the superior material life, and one generation is not as good as the next.

Hearing everyone's cheers, Deng Pu's face was not happy. This big war can be regarded as a great gain for the Qin State, but for him personally, it is an out-and-out defeat.

The plan to capture Princess Zhaohua went bankrupt, which made them lose their biggest bargaining chip at the negotiating table, and Nan Chu was sure that Western Qin would not have a large-scale war with them, so he was unwilling to give up too many benefits, which made Qin's final gain lower than expected. And these aside, Deng Pu's biggest loss is his injury.

In the Luoying Mountains, he was first injured by Guo Jiulin's desperate blow, and then attacked Zuo Lixing with Shu Hui, and was seriously injured, and finally pursued Qin Feng and Min Ruoxi, but did not get timely cultivation treatment, and in the end, in order to ensure that Princess Zhaohua was alive, he was also injured with Shu Huihuo, and he was injured again, and he almost couldn't go back alive.

Now, the injury seems to be healed, but the hidden danger is far from being eliminated, Deng Pu knows that in his life, or there is no hope of impacting the realm of the grandmaster, in Yongdu, when he is recuperating from his injury, he really has a feeling of despair. The contest between the Deng family and the Bian family, not only in the court, in power, but also on the martial arts, in their generation, there are no grandmaster-level warriors in the two families, and Bian Wushuang and Deng Pu are the two most promising, but now, Deng Pu's road is broken, but Bian Wushuang is intact, compared with the two, the Deng family has suffered a big loss, in case Bian Wushuang succeeds in impacting the grandmaster in the future, then Bian's status in the Qin State will rise, one and the other, it is conceivable that Deng's life will be even more difficult in the future.

What made Deng Pu even more angry was that on the day he returned to Yongdu to recuperate, Bian Wushuang took this opportunity to vigorously insert his subordinates into the border army, I don't know what the emperor thought, and actually agreed to be the chief general of Jingjingguan by Bian Wushuang's confidant Zheng Xiao. Jingjing Pass is the outpost position of Daqin to harvest Anyang County in the future, and such an important checkpoint was handed over to the people of the Bian family, wouldn't it add a lock to the money pocket of the border army?

But the emperor's decision is irreversible, Deng Pu, who has no intention of recuperating in Yongdu, hurriedly returned to the base camp of the Qin border army in Zhaoyingxia, he has to find a way to stabilize the situation and squeeze that Zheng Xiao away, otherwise it will be extremely unfavorable for the Deng clan to control the border army.

In this world, there are many people who are good at looking at the style, Zheng Xiao is much better than the Bian children who were placed in the border army before, and if he doesn't go, he really can't find anyone who can deal with this guy for a while.

It's a pity that the death camp in Nanchu is basically dead, and their chief officer Qin Feng is also dead, otherwise find an opportunity to push this Zheng Xiao to the front of the military formation of the death camp, maybe the death camp will solve the problem for him, in the past, he often did this, the death camp In Deng Pu's eyes, sometimes it is a sharp knife that is better than the abdomen.

When the sun rose over the distant mountain, Deng Pu was already dressed and sat on the tiger skin chair in the middle of the council hall, flipping through the documents. After months of not being at the base camp, a number of documents that had to be approved by him were piled up.

After reviewing a few copies, he saw a document from Jingjingguan, and he couldn't help but snort in his nostrils. Zheng Xiao has not been in office for a long time, but this army under his command has already shown disharmony with the entire border army, Zheng Xiao is also a good means, the army transferred to Jingjing Pass, was surrendered by him in a short period of time, too, where did he go to take office with the entire officer corps, as for those soldiers at the most basic level, they are so poor that they do not need to spend too much price for the Bian family.

What made Deng Pu even more angry was that Bian Wushuang actually crossed the border army headquarters and directly ordered the military department to transfer a batch of weapons, clothing and other military supplies to Jingjingguan.

In the face of this situation, Deng Pu also felt helpless, even if he complained directly to His Majesty the Emperor, in the end, His Majesty would definitely still be with the mud, and he would not get a satisfactory answer at all. The most fundamental problem is that he failed this mission, was seriously injured, and almost lost the hope of advancing to the grandmaster realm, and the eldest brother Deng Fang made a big leak on Liu Zhen's problem, losing such a heavyweight spy, Deng failed on both fronts, Bian took advantage of the situation, and now, he can only endure it for the time being, and when he finds a good time, he will give him a heavy blow.

Flipping through Zheng Xiao's report, Deng Pu not only sneered, it was really funny, this Zheng Xiao actually wanted the headquarters to send people to assist him in exterminating the remnants of the death camp, and the reason was that the Chu people in Anyang City were willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver.

Although the border army is poor, it is not so poor, how big is the Luoying Mountains? It is not easy to exterminate such a force of six or seven hundred people, even if it finds the foothold of the other party in advance, not to mention, the death camp is a cunning fox and a fierce wolf in this mountain, and if one is not good, it will not be able to fight the snake but be bitten by the snake. This Zheng Xiao sees things too simply.

Throwing the document on the ground, Deng Pu said coldly: "Tell Zheng Xiao that the base camp does not agree with this matter, if he insists, he can send troops on his own, and the Chu people's 100,000 taels of silver base camp will not ask for a cent, and he will deal with it himself." ”

A staff member picked up the document and said with a smile: "The subordinates will reply to him, this Zheng Xiao doesn't know anything, if he is folded in the hands of the death camp, it will really become a joke." ”

Deng Pu smiled: "If he really does it, most of it will be to do some useless work, and he will get nothing in the end, but now the death camp is different from before, Qin Feng is dead, the main force is destroyed, and it is unlikely that Zheng Xiao will suffer." ”

"General, this death battalion can kill too many people in our border army, and have a deep blood feud with us, and the general really doesn't want to seek revenge on them?" The staff picked up the pen and looked at Deng Pu, a little puzzled.

"Hatred naturally exists, but revenge can't be done at any time." Deng Pu smiled and shook his head: "If it is brought to my mouth, it will naturally be swallowed in one gulp, but now it is a thankless thing, why should I do it?" The death camp has now become a water dog, but this dog will still bite, at this time, I am afraid they are more fierce, moreover, the death camp has now formed a mortal enmity with the Chu people, so they have to stay in the Luoying Mountains, let them go to the Chu people dog to eat dogs, with the virtue of the death camp, this time they have suffered such a big loss, they will definitely not stop there, maybe next time we will rob Anyang County, this death camp will also go out to fish in the water. ”

"General Gaojian, since there is value in use, it is naturally better to stay, and it is more convenient to use them to deal with Zheng Xiao when the time comes." The staff nodded knowingly.

Deng Pu smiled and didn't answer, but a face appeared in his mind, it was this person who made him fall short in the Luoying Mountain Range, although his martial arts were not high, but that tenacious energy, he had to be admired, he really had never suffered such a loss in his life! It's a pity, it's dead! Otherwise, it's a good opponent.

It's hard to find a confidant, but it's not hard to find an opponent with chess and drums!

Shaking his head, Deng Pu buried himself in the thick case again and began to sweep the work with difficulty.

I don't know how long it took for Deng Pu to be interrupted by the sound of footsteps, and when he raised his head, a tooth general hurriedly walked in.

"General, there are people outside the camp asking to see you!" Fang bowed down and handed over a sticker.

The sticker is very rough, and it looks like I picked up a piece of paper and wrote it somewhere, but the words on it are smooth and smooth, and it seems to be profound. Glancing at the signature below, Deng Pu felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and Huo Di stood up.

"General, what's wrong?" Several of the staff in the room were startled by Deng Pu's ghost-like expression.

Deng Pu came back to his senses and waved the sticker in his hand, but laughed: "It's really strange, we just talked about the death camp today, and the important people in the death camp actually threw the post to me, it's strange." Shu Chang, haha, this is the nameless No. 2 person in the death camp, is this person back? What did he mean when he came to me? ”

"Or does the death battalion now feel that it is cornered and wants to come to serve the general?" One of the aides speculated, "If that's the case, the general might as well use it." ”

Putting down the sticker, Deng Pu thought for a moment, and said to the tooth general: "You go and bring this person in, and I will see what he has in mind." (To be continued.) )
