Chen Ci tiredly stepped into the door, in Tongcheng, he has a small courtyard that belongs to him, his whole family lives here, as soon as the door looks, he saw a family headed by the old wife standing at the door, seeing him push the door in, it seems that everyone exhales a long breath.

"Daddy, where's Zhihua? Why didn't you come back? A trembling voice sounded in his ears, it was Chen Ci's eldest daughter-in-law, who was holding the child at the moment, and her body was trembling slightly.

"He's fine, he's sorting out the defense line now, I'm afraid he won't be able to go home these days, and he'll have to stay in front all the time." Chen Ci waved his hand, glanced at the second daughter-in-law with a gray face on the other side, and sighed secretly in his heart, Luo Yishui did not go to see Qin Feng, it would naturally anger the other party, and now the Qin people are attacking Yongping County, maybe in a fit of anger, Qin Feng has already cut Chen Jinhua in two.

Walking into the house, taking off his armor, someone had already brought hot water, washed hastily, Chen Ci changed into civilian clothes, leaned back on the chair, stretched out his legs and feet, and closed his eyes.

Today was the first day of the imperial court's attack on Tongcheng, and a third of the outer defense line had been lost. Although it is said that the losses caused by the killing and wounding of the imperial army are far greater than the losses of their own side, it should be seen that the other side has lost more county soldiers, while the losses of the Tiger Ben army are not large.

"Master, can we defend Tongcheng?" The old wife's soft questioning voice was heard in his ears, and then a pair of hands fell on his legs and gently massaged them.

Chen Ci didn't open his eyes, and asked rhetorically, "Why don't you ask when we will be able to defeat the enemy and win?" ”

The old wife's wry voice came: "Master, you forget, I am also from a general's family, although I have never been on the battlefield, but I have heard and seen it since I was a child, and I am no stranger to those things on the battlefield in the past few decades." We didn't take Zhongping County, we have already fallen behind, and we can't take Yongping County again, and the current situation is really too sinister. I'm afraid it's impossible to win. ”

"If you don't win, you will lose." Chen Ci said.

The strength of the old wife's hand suddenly increased, but immediately became as gentle as before, "We are old, it doesn't matter, but Zhihua Jinhua and two little grandchildren, what should we do then?" ”

Chen Ci opened his eyes, looking at this old man who has accompanied him for most of his life, but now he is also full of silver, as the wife of a general, daily worries and fears, that is a common thing, compared with women of the same age, his wife looks very old.

"Under the nest, there are no eggs?" Chen Ci sighed.

The massaging hand stopped, covered his face, and the sound of crying came.

"Don't cry, let them hear, it will only add to the trouble." Chen Ci sat up straight, stretched out his big rough hand, and gently stroked his old wife's thin shoulders.

"What is the sin of the children?"

"Their sin is that they were born in my Chen family." Chen Ci said slowly.

There was a sudden commotion outside the house, Chen Ci frowned slightly, and his face was angry, the general of the gate has always been a military law is a family law, and the soldiers and servants under his command are so noisy, which makes Chen Ci very annoyed, and now the situation is not good, do some people have some strange thoughts?

As soon as he stood up, before he could take the first step, a servant's surprise call came from outside the door: "Master, master, the second young master is back!" ”

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Chen Jinhua appeared at the door.

Seeing that the second son who should have died in his imagination appeared in front of him, Chen Ci's whole body was hanged, but his wife screamed happily, rushed over quickly, grabbed Chen Jinhua's shoulders with both hands, and looked up and down.

"Son, you came back, you suffered, did they beat you? Can you eat? She asked repeatedly, her hands clenched tightly, for fear that this was a dream, and as soon as she let go, Chen Jinhua would disappear from his eyes.

"Mother, I'm fine, I'm neither hungry nor beaten, you see, I'm fine." Chen Jinhua looked at his tearful mother, and his eyes moistened.

"Daddy!" A childish voice came from the door, Chen Jinhua turned around, and saw his wife standing at the door with his son, his wife seemed to be a little unstable on her feet, and had to lean on the door frame, holding the child with one hand, and picking at the door frame with the other hand, and the son opened his hands and looked at him with a smile on his face: "Daddy, hug!" ”

Chen Jinhua strode over, squatted down, and picked up his son, his face full of stubble rubbing against the child's tender face, causing the child to laugh.

Stretched out his hand, wiped away the two lines of tears that flowed silently for his wife, and whispered, "What are you crying about?" Didn't I come back in good condition? Don't cry and let the family see the joke. ”

Chen Ci let out a long breath, it was always a good thing to see his son come back safely. Father's dignity did not let his feelings be exposed in the slightest, he waved his hand: "Okay, it's a good thing that Jinhua is back, you are all relieved, go down, I have something to say to Jinhua." ”

glanced at the old wife, looked at her with tears in her eyes, took the child from Chen Jinhua's hands, and left with another woman in tears, the door was closed, and Chen Ci looked at Chen Jinhua.

"How did you get back?" He sat back down, gesturing to a chair to the side and asked.

Chen Jinhua dragged a chair and sat beside his father, "Qin Feng let me go." ”

"Just let you go? What conditions? Chen Ci was a little surprised, he was the number two person in Luo Yishui, and his two sons were captured in World War I, which was a big blow to morale, but now the two of them have been released one after another, even if others don't say it, it is Chen Ci himself, and he is muttering in his heart.

"Nothing." Chen Jinhua said: "Qin Feng didn't even say anything to himself. ”

"This, how is this possible?" Chen Ci looked at Chen Jinhua in shock, and he really couldn't think of what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd. "What does he want to do?"

"Father, I don't know, I just saw that the Taiping army is heading towards Zhongping County, and it is estimated that in five or six days at most, their brigade will appear in Zhongping County." Chen Jinhua shook his head and said.

Chen Ci keenly grasped the error between what Chen Jinhua said and the intelligence, "Qin Feng's main force is heading towards Zhongping County, isn't he fighting with the Qin people now?" ”

Hearing his father's words, Chen Jinhua looked at his father in amazement: "Dad, where did you hear that the Qin people are fighting against the Taiping army, and there is nothing to do in Yongping County, and the Qin people have not launched an attack on Yongping County at all, Qin Feng's main force is gathering together and marching towards Zhongping County." ”

"Impossible, doesn't it mean that the Qin people have completely defeated the Tiger Battalion?" Chen Ci shouted.

Chen Jinhua stood up in a hurry, but what flashed in his mind was the camp flag of the Tiger Battalion fluttering high in the wind at the fork in the road, the team of men and horses were neatly faced, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces, where was annihilated by the Qin people. There are also military orders issued by Qin Feng in front of him, the Tiger Battalion, the Blue Wolf Battalion, they are not on the same path as Qin Feng's main force.

"Dad, that's not the case." He said in a trembling voice: "The Tiger Battalion was not defeated by the Qin people at all, their military appearance was neat, their morale was high, and the personnel were neat, this was what his son saw with his own eyes, and the main general Chen Jialuo, his son also saw it." ”

Hearing Chen Jinhua say this, Chen Ci was dumbfounded, and after a while, he said in a gloomy manner: "It turns out that this is the reason why Qin Feng released you, and his purpose is to let you pass on these things you see back to us." Haha, good calculation, good calculation, Qin Feng deceived everyone, not only deceived us, but he also deceived Wu Jian. ”

"Daddy, what are you talking about?" Chen Jinhua looked at his father a little inexplicably.

Chen Ci jumped up and grabbed Chen Jinhua, "Let's go, let's go see General Luo." ”

Luo Yishui's place of residence was not far from Chen Ci's residence, and it didn't take long for Chen Ci to appear in front of Luo Yishui with Chen Jinhua.

"Jinhua, did you escape?" Seeing Chen Jinhua appear, Luo Yishui was quite happy: "Was that damn Qin Feng defeated by the Qin people?" Haha, I thought I had a cheap price to pick up, but this time it was a waste of rice to steal chickens. ”

Luo Yishui's idea was naturally that Qin Feng's Taiping army collapsed under the attack of the Qin people, and the captured Chen Jinhua could find a chance to escape from the tiger's mouth.

"No, General Luo, he was released by Qin Feng." As soon as Chen Ci spoke, the smile on Luo Yishui's face disappeared.

"What's going on?" He asked in a whisper. Chen Zhihua was released because Qin Feng wanted to bring him a message, could it be that Qin Feng was having a hard time now, so he asked Chen Jinhua to contact him?

"General Luo, the Qin people didn't attack Qin Feng's Taiping army at all, the Tiger Battalion was defeated, and it was even more of a non-existent thing, and now Qin Feng's brigade is advancing towards Zhongping County." Chen Ci's voice was full of bitterness.

Luo Yishui's eyes slowly widened, looking at Chen Ci and his son, his eyes were full of incredulity.

"The Qin people should really cooperate with Qin Feng's Taiping Army, not Wu Jian as we thought before, they set up a bureau together, but the target is not us, Qin Feng's goal should be Wu Jian." Chen Ci said slowly. "If my expectations are right, the tiger battalion and the blue wolf battalion that Jinhua saw broke up with Qin Feng's main force, they must have rushed to Zhongping County, now Wu Jian's main force is exhausted, Zhongping County is empty, if the Taiping army is allowed to succeed, then Wu Jian will immediately be like us, and will become this lone army that is cut off."

Luo Yishui sat down dejectedly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a chess piece played by Qin Feng, our two families are fighting desperately here, but what he wants is to swallow us all in one bite." ”

"Father, if Wu Jian is cut off, isn't it just right for us?" Chen Jinhua was a little ignorant.

"Silly boy, Wu Jian was defeated, do you think Qin Feng will show mercy to our subordinates?" Chen Ci smiled bitterly. (To be continued.) )
