Chapter 243
August [-]th, night.

To the east of Dupan Ridge, on the bank of the Ying River.

This afternoon, Ningjiang Army Ma Maoxing, who had just taken over the defense area, was patrolling the camp uneasy, but he heard some frolic and noise in a corner of the camp, so he couldn't help walking over.

Inside the camp, the aroma of wine and meat filled his nostrils. When Ma Maoxing entered, he saw a group of nephews moving their hands up and down the bodies of several thin soldiers in a wild manner.

Ma Maoxing took a closer look, only to see that those thin and weak soldiers were all young women dressed as soldiers. He couldn't help being startled and angry, and cursed in a low voice: "You **** dare to plunder women into the camp, you want to make a fool of yourself?" You can't die! Have you forgotten how Eleven Lang died!"

All the young officers in the tent panicked for a moment, and immediately a young Yuhou with a clever face got up and explained with a smile: "Uncle Wu, these women did not come from robbery, they are the sisters and sons of Yingzhou City. But it cost a lot of money to invite them out to play around for a few days."

After listening to his nephew's explanation, Ma Maoxing observed again, and found that these women were indeed full of dust and dust, and there was no look of fear or panic. He couldn't help but believe him [-]%, but he still cursed in a low voice: "Sanlang! Even if they weren't robbed, the camp Drinking alcohol and bringing outsiders into the camp are also serious crimes! If you are caught by Chen Dutong, I will not intercede for you!"

"Uncle Wu, we are natural. When we were stationed in the camp with the Zhenhuai army, we could hide these wonderful people well. Didn't we send us to be stationed on the bank of the Ying River, separated from that beheaded Chen?" Only when I look at a dustpan ridge, I dare to call out to have a good time."

The young Yuhou, who was called Sanlang, smiled and patted the buttocks of the woman beside him. The latter understood, and immediately stepped forward to take Ma Maoxing's arm, and said delicately, "Master Jun, sit down and have a drink with my slave."

Ma Maoxing pushed the woman away irritably, but still sat down.

Seeing this, Sanlang winked, and the girls dressed as sergeants hurriedly exited the camp.

Only the uncle and nephew of the Ma family remained in the account.
Today, the generals regard the army as their private property. Zheng Yishi at the beginning, Kou Shizhong later, and Ma Maoxing today still do.

However, Zheng and Kou have already set an example.

Ma Maoxing naturally did not dare to disobey orders on the surface, but he was always on guard, so he placed the several deputy generals that Chen Chu had inserted last year into the same battalion.

In this way, even if they were like the middle and lower officers of the Wuwei Army who instigated rebellion, they could only affect one battalion.

The remaining four battalions are still in the hands of him and his blood related sons and nephews.

But even so, Chen Chu couldn't count on giving him face.

At the beginning of the month, Caizhou's left-behind forces stationed in Yingzhou. The Suppressing Huai Army arrested several grain merchants in the city and occupied the grain store warehouses, causing quite a stir.

One of Ma Maoxing's nephews had a bad idea and took the opportunity to possess the daughter of a merchant in the name of 'checking out merchants who were illegally hoarding grain'.

But this businessman obviously runs a cosmetics and powder shop. When he asked where he could stock up on food, he was naturally dissatisfied and made a fuss that somehow got to Chen Chu's ears.

Regardless of Ma Maoxing's intercession, Chen Dutong beheaded his nephew in front of the entire Ningjiang army.
The elder brother in the family learned that his beloved son had been killed and suffered a serious illness, which has not healed yet.

Therefore, the nephew of the Ma family feared and hated Chen Dutong.

Thinking of this, Ma Maoxing sighed: "How many days have passed since the matter of Eleven Lang? You are so presumptuous. If you are bumped into by Chen Dutong, you can lose your head."

"Uncle Wu! Isn't it just for money and women to be a soldier? He doesn't allow us to rob, and we don't rob, but he doesn't even let a woman play? In this world, how can a soldier be so aggrieved? ?”

Saburo said sadly and indignantly in a low voice.

"You know what! Now the Zhenhuai and Wuwei armies are the only ones looking forward to him. He hopes that we will make some more mistakes and take the Ningjiang army away from our Ma family. Even if he is aggrieved, he has to bear it and don't let him Catch the pigtail again."

"So that's the end of Shishilang's death?"

"What about you? Could it be possible to kill him and rebel!"

Ma Maoxing looked around at the more than ten nephews of his own family in the account, and his voice became gloomy, "Remember, a man can bend and stretch, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge! Now that the situation is not as good as others, you have to put your tail between your legs and plan for the future!"

It turns out that Uncle Wu really didn't give up!
Everyone in the Ma family couldn't help being energetic, but at this moment, they suddenly heard a loud noise and shouting from the ridge.

Ma Maoxing was startled and hurried out of the account.

But in the west of Duoji Ridge, there was a lot of flames, and the rebel army seemed to be about to break through!

"Uncle Wu! Shall we go over and help?" Saburo Ma asked hurriedly.

"The military order we got is to strictly guard Lingdong, what's the matter with Lingxi?" Ma Maoxing said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Haha, yes, let them dog eat dog, and let's watch the fun."

West of Dupan Ridge.

Guo Taoer, who was described by Ma Jiasaburo as "dog eats dog", felt very uncomfortable.

Originally thought that being forced out by Chen Chuban to suppress the bandits in Yingzhou was just a formality, but unexpectedly, today Chen Chu ordered him to take over the defense line on the west side of Lingxia.

Although he is on the same level as Chen Chu and is much older, but he not only has many soldiers, but also has the right to 'move, appoint, dismiss, and kill', so he has to obey orders.

What's even worse is that on the night when we took over the defense, we encountered a rebel army breaking through.

Xu Zhixiao, this group of rebels is at the end of the road, they are particularly fierce, just a few hundred steps away from killing Guo Tao'er's Chinese army camp, it is dangerous and dangerous.

And the other dog, who Ma Jiasaburo described as "dog bites dog", was equally angry.

Tonight, Li Kui accepted Jin Taiping's suggestion and broke out to the west.

The Yingzhou Anshun army stationed at the foot of the mountain was caught off guard, and its combat power was far different from that of the Zhenhuai and Wuwei armies.

As soon as they made contact, Li Kui was pleasantly surprised to find that he had encountered a soft persimmon this time, and there was hope for a breakout!

But the surprise lasted only for a moment. Li Kui suddenly found that the dozens of people under Jin Taiping who had been following behind him just now had disappeared.
The huge gap in numbers immediately plunged Li Kui's troops into a bitter battle.

"Jin Taiping, I am your ancestor!"

Jin Taiping, who turned back east and escaped for a mile, vaguely heard someone screaming, but he didn't bother to look back, surrounded by Li Mule and others, he hurriedly fled to the bank of Ying River.

But it stopped three or four hundred steps away from the river bank.

"Brother Mule, how did you escape!"

Jin Taiping lay down in the grass, there were at least five or six hundred people in the military barracks occupying the ferry, and more than a dozen officers dressed as officers stood outside the camp, looking up the hill.

Li Mule was also lying on the ground. After careful observation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Now that things have come to an end, we can only let Brother Dugu Qiubai take the risk!"

After finishing speaking, Li Mule turned to Brother Dugu who was standing behind the tree and said, "Brother, you are very skilled. Can you kill a general? Let's seize the ship while the officers and troops are in disarray."

For such a arduous task, Brother Dugu only nodded his head sternly, and walked forward in the dark.
"."

Jin Taiping couldn't help being greatly moved!
Such a righteous man, who is willing to live and die, why didn't he meet him earlier!
A moment later, the lonely man sneaked into the night with a ghostly figure, and touched the group of officers standing loosely outside the camp.

"Oh!"

"Uncle Wu, be careful!"

"Come on, enemy attack."

In the distance, there were several roars, and the Ningjiang military camp suddenly became chaotic.

Night, Haishi.

On the outskirts of Duji Ridge, there is the barracks of the Zhenhuai Army.

In the Majun camp, in a tent slightly far away from other tents, Tie Dan, who was wearing only a plain white lining, suddenly heard the shouts of killing coming from the distance. He lifted up his thin quilt and was about to stay, but was scolded by Chen Chu. "Lie down, we thousands of brothers, we can't fight without you? You are wounded now!"

Tie Dan, who had a very stubborn temper, was so rare this time that he listened to his words, and obediently lay back on the couch.

Chen Chu held the bowl in one hand and a thin wooden chip in the other, and was stirring in the bowl.

Inside the bowl is a mass of sticky, transparent, sticky jelly with bubbles, which looks a bit like snot and is disgusting
Seeing that the disturbance was almost over, Chen Chu sat down beside Tie Dan's couch, picked up a ball with a piece of wood as if to wipe it on Tie Dan's forehead, Tie Dan resisted and withdrew his body.

"Hey! You still hate it? This is aloe vera. I asked someone to bring it from Dali last year, and it arrived this spring. There are a total of more than a dozen plants, and one of them cost me fifty sticks! The juice of this thing can remove scars. !"

Hearing that it could remove scars, Tie Dan glanced at Chen Chu doubtfully with his innocent eyes.

"I won't lie to you, be obedient and stick your head out."

Chen Chu had said a lot before, emphasizing how precious the aloe vera was, but it had no effect on iron gallbladder. He didn't want his words to sound like coaxing a child, but instead asked her to cooperate.Chen Chu took a wet towel scalded with boiling water and wiped the wound on Tie Dan's eyebrow.

The wound was not big, but a little deep, and the scab had healed.

A small dot was left between the eyebrows. In fact, Chen Chu felt that this small wound was not ugly, but rather cute.

But Tie Dan was a little concerned.
There was a vague sound of fighting outside, but the tent was completely quiet, except for the occasional 'beep' or two from the candle.

Chen Chu's movements of applying aloe vera juice are extremely gentle. Tie Dan grew up on the mountain, her father raised her as a man, and her uncles also treated her as a man. She couldn't practice martial arts when she was young, and her father beat her cruelly.

Some minor injuries and illnesses can be overcome after a while.

She has never been taken care of like this before, and she has never met such a gentle man.

Thinking about it, the eyes that were originally looking down at the quilt had moved to Brother Chen's face at some point.

Tie Dan was neither shy nor evasive, and just stared straight at Chen Chu's face, which was close at hand.

The old driver, Master Chen, felt a little uncomfortable when he was seen, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter? Have you never seen such a handsome man?"

It was originally a joke, but Tie Dan thought about it seriously and replied: "Well, no man I have ever seen is as good-looking as you."

The doll's face, with a little bit of baby fat remaining, is full of sincerity.

Unexpectedly, Chen Chu couldn't handle it anymore. Sure enough, sincerity is the ultimate skill!
When the atmosphere was just right, I heard the voice of the eldest son outside: "Brother Chu, Juntong has succeeded."

"Oh?"

Chen Chu was overjoyed, and told Tie Dan, "You have a good rest in the camp, I'll go ahead and have a look."

After setting off for the expedition, Tie Dan, who was scrambling to do everything first, said obediently, "Yes".

As soon as Chen Chu walked to the tent door, he heard Tie Dan behind him say in a pinched voice as if he was pinching his throat: "Well, Brother Chen, be careful."

"Well, I see, hehe."

Chen Chu replied and walked out of the tent.

Outside, not only the eldest son was there, but Dalang was also there. They both hooked their heads to look inside the tent at the same time, but they were blocked by Chen Chuyi's body.

The eldest son was shocked and said: "Huh? Is it Tie Dan who spoke just now? Why is he so delicate, like a girl?"

Da Lang's focus is on another point, "Brother Chu, I remember that Tie Dan is a year or two older than you, why does she call you 'Brother Chen'?"

"Whether you are older or not, it doesn't necessarily depend on your age."

Chen Chu casually said something perfunctory to the two, and stretched out his hand to call Mao Dan who was waiting in the distance, "Is the watermelon juice I asked you to prepare ready?"

"Boss, here." Mao Dan handed over a long and thin porcelain jar.

Chen Chu took it, opened the cork and took a sniff.

Mao Dan hurriedly added in a low voice: "Boss, some raw pig's blood is mixed in, otherwise there will be no bloody smell."

"Ah."

Chen put the stopper on, put the porcelain bottle into his arms, and took a few people to the main tent of the Chinese army.

"It took more than a month, mobilized [-] soldiers, spent countless money and food, and finally surrounded the remnants of the rebel army in this Dust Ji Ridge. There were more than [-] thieves on the ridge. You, more than a thousand soldiers of the Anshun Army, were able to defeat two More than ten thieves have escaped! Could it be that the thief has wings? If he is not derelict in his duty, he is a thief!"

In the main tent of the Zhonghuai Army, Chen Chu heard that more than [-] rebels escaped from the Anshun Army's defense line in Yingzhou and went to heaven, and he couldn't help but became furious.

"Brother, you are wronged! The thief is fierce, and my department has made some omissions, but there is absolutely no such thing as a thief!"

Guo Tao'er hurriedly complained about injustice.

If you neglect your duty, you may still have a way to live, but if you cooperate with a thief, you will die.
At this time, Chen Chu was very powerful, and if he was persuaded to be 'specialized', there was a possibility of killing him in anger.

Fortunately, Zhang Chunxiao, who came over after hearing the news, also spoke for him, "General Chen, calm down, Guo Dutong was at fault, but he will never be a thief. In my opinion, it is better to let him take the blame and make meritorious service."

Zhang Chunxiao didn't dare to let Chen Chu really kill people. Now the Shouzhou left-behind division was uprooted by the rebel army. If Chen Chu killed all the Yingzhou left-behind divisions again, Chen Chu's family would not be the only one in Huaibei!

Seeing that the boss opened his mouth, Chen Chu's face softened a little, and he sighed, "Brother Guo, it's not that I am harsh. It's just that this general is responsible for calming down Huaibei. If no punishment is imposed this time, how will he be able to rule in the future?" Sergeant at the bottom. How about this, brother Guo will temporarily go to the unified post, the entire Anshun army will be demoted to one level, and brother Guo will temporarily take the post of commander of the Anshun army. When will the Huaibei rebellion be completely suppressed, and then he will be reinstated!"

"Thank you brother Chen"

Guo Tao'er, who felt that he had escaped, hastily responded.

Compared with the possible beheading on the spot, the penalty of being demoted by one level is like saving a life.

After all, today's rebel army did escape from their defense zone.

Just one crime of 'dereliction of duty' is not as easy as being demoted one level.

Zhang Chunxiao glanced at Chen Chu, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
At this time, a panicked messenger ran out of the account. After entering the account, he shouted: "Master Dutong, it's not good! A rebel army raided the Ningjiang Army defense zone on the east side of Dust Ji Ridge. Commander Ma Maoxingma was momentary. Unprepared, he was killed by a masked thief!"

"!"

Chen Chu got up suddenly, looked at the messenger in disbelief, and then suddenly covered his chest, as if he couldn't bear the bad news of the day.
"Pfft~"

Chen Du spat out blood all at once, and cried out in pain: "Brother Ma! Brother Ma died in battle?"

This turn of events shocked both Zhang Chunxiao and Guo Taoer.
It seems that the relationship between Chen Dutong and Commander Ma is so deep that when Dutong heard the bad news, he was furious.
"My lord! My condolences!" Maodan, Baoxi and others hurriedly gathered around.

Mao Dan blinked desperately, and finally squeezed out two tears.

With the support of the two, Chen Chu barely stabilized his figure, and asked sadly, "Where is the thief! Where did the thief go!"

The messenger hurriedly said: "Back to my lord, the thief has crossed the river east and fled to Shouzhou!"

"Bring me to the general! Pull out the camp immediately and send troops to Shouzhou! Swear to destroy this thief and avenge my brother Ma!"

"Swear to destroy this thief and avenge Commander Ma!"

The elder, the eldest son and others in the account all agreed in unison.
Later, Chen Dutong, who was overly sad, temporarily went to rest behind the tent with the help of his own soldiers.

The bewildered Zhang Chunxiao walked out of the big tent, looking at the suddenly busy camp, the sense of absurdity in his heart became more and more intense.

Hundreds of rebels have been besieged here for several days, and there is no way to go to heaven or to earth.

Why did he suddenly become a heavenly soldier and general today, who can be divided into two groups, east and west, to break through at the same time?
Zhang Chunxiao couldn't figure out the key to it for the time being. But based on the simple thinking of "whoever benefits, who is the mastermind", it is said that tonight's strangeness is inseparable from Chen Chu.

Zhang Chunxiao is very aware of the internal factions in Caizhou's left-behind division. The Zhenhuai and Wuwei armies with strong soldiers and horses are Chen Chu's direct descendants, and the Ningjiang and Jing'an armies are led by Ma Maoxing and Zhu Da respectively, each with their own thoughts.

Ma Maoxing died strangely tonight, and Chen Chu will definitely not let the Ma family control the Ningjiang Army in the future.

Yingzhou Guo Tao'er was also temporarily demoted due to the unfavorable war. In other words, Chen Chu is now the only one who rules Cai, Ying, and Shou.

Coincidentally, Chen Chu was able to use the excuse of Ma Maoxing's death to chase down the bandits and enter Shouzhou.

The reason for avenging his subordinates is high-sounding, but even if he wants to stop it, it is difficult to find a reason.

In this way, all the troops under the left-behind department of Caizhou were integrated for their own use, and they could also take the opportunity to enter Shouzhou, and even get their hands on Yingzhou.
In just a short moment, Zhang Chunxiao analyzed what would happen next, and for a while, he smelled a strong conspiracy from what happened tonight.

But if everything is a design, when Chen Dutong heard of Ma Maoxing's death, he really spit out a mouthful of old blood.
This is what Zhang Chunxiao saw with his own eyes, how could it be fake?

 Got dizzy.
