Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 307 Before the Great War ([-])

When Zhang Zhuangcheng met with Chen Chen, Liu Jincai also came to Haizhou.Because the Tartar army was stationed under Yizhou City, Liu Jincai did not go directly to Yizhou Mansion due to safety considerations.

Although the Tartar army was besieging the city, the offensive had been going on for a long time, and the Tartar army was exhausted up and down.Especially after the failed siege before the heavy snow at the end of last year, the morale of the Tartar army fell to the bottom.Seeing that the city is about to be broken, and the war that lasted for several years is about to end, they can be happy after breaking the city, but the reality is that it is blocked by the weather, which is very demoralizing.Coupled with the material support from the Security Corps Headquarters, the Second Battalion persisted.In this way, until now, the Tartars are still in a state of half hitting and half surrounding Yizhou City, which gave Sun Zhi the opportunity and confidence to go to Haizhou.

Haizhou is more than [-] miles away from Yizhou Mansion, and the journey took place day and night, and Sun Zhi and his party arrived in Haizhou City in less than two days.

When Liu Jincai saw Sun Zhi, Sun Zhi had just arrived.Seeing Sun Zhi's dusty demeanor, Liu Jincai did not talk to each other warmly, but was extremely happy in his heart.

Like Zhang Zhuangcheng and Chen Chen, Liu Jincai and Sun Zhi haven't seen each other for nearly ten years.The scene where the two escaped death together is still vivid in my memory, but now they almost parted ways.If it weren't for the fact that the Tartars were pressing too fast, and if Sun Zhi couldn't resist the offensive of the Tartars, he wouldn't have returned to the headquarters.

Shandong is in the east, the north and west are full of Tartars, the south is the headquarters, and the east is the sea. Where else can Sun Zhi go?Is it possible to cross the sea to North Korea and Japan?Although Sun Zhi wanted to go, he didn't have so many boats!Sometimes Sun Zhi envied Li Taiping, at least Li Taiping still had a place to go after losing the battle, the west is a vast land!
I haven't seen him in the past ten years, and Sun Zhi is no longer the proud and arrogant appearance he was in the past. The unsatisfactory wars in the past few years have made him exhausted.If it wasn't for his subordinates, for his own family, Sun Zhi might not be able to persevere.Although Sun Zhi was two years younger than Zhang Zhuangcheng and was only nearly forty years old, Liu Jincai seemed to think that Sun Zhi looked like a 50-year-old man.With haggard face, mixed hair, he looks like an old man, but the occasional flashes of light and ruthless eyes from his eyes make people realize that this is not an ordinary person.

Seeing Sun Zhi's current situation, Liu Jincai was relieved.Is this the person I once wanted to take refuge in?This is the lord who ruthlessly rejects himself and doesn't think of fellowship at all?
"Sun Zhi, Sun Zhi, I didn't expect you to have today?" Liu Jincai sneered in his heart.At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had been following the head of the regiment, and this walk was on the bright road.

When Liu Jincai looked at Sun Zhi, Sun Zhi also looked at Liu Jincai with complicated eyes.

Liu Jincai is five years younger than Sun Zhi, but because of the good maintenance at the headquarters, the two now feel like they are more than ten years apart.Looking at Liu Jincai's red face full of vigor and high spirits, and then looking at his rough hands full of gaps.At this moment, Sun Zhi felt a trace of regret in his heart.

"It seems that I am not a man of destiny. I am destined to only assist but not stand on my own."

Now that Yizhou is still under siege by the Tartars, it is not time to lament that time is running out.After meeting with Liu Jincai, Sun Zhi had to rush back to Yizhou. After all, this place is more than 200 miles away from Yizhou, and Sun Zhi was still worried.

"Brother Liu! It's been a long time. Brother Liu came from a long way, and you've worked hard all the way." Facing Liu Jincai, Sun Zhi cupped his hands and said.

"Yeah, it's been eight years. When I was in Xinyang, my little brother was really taken care of by Brother Sun!" Liu Jincai said in a strange way.

Even though Sun Zhi was already a well-known hero in the world, he was still a little embarrassed by Liu Jincai's words.What I did when I was in Xinyang was really unethical, and I tried to replace the headquarters in vain.Thinking about it now, Sun Zhi already realized that he was missing a game.Without that ability, without that fate, but wanting to do things that do not match one's own ability and one's own destiny, this is the source of one's own tragedy.

Look at this colleague in the army in front of him, who was dismissed from the battalion commander position because of injury, and then fell to the civilian department.Now, with the expansion of the power of the headquarters, the status of the opponent has also risen. Although the battalion commander and the minister of the opponent are at the same level, in terms of status, I already have to rely on the opponent.

"Brother Liu has been on the rise all these years. In terms of his high status and the trust of the regiment leader, it is beyond my reach. I did something wrong back then, so I will apologize to Brother Liu here." Sun Zhi bowed and said to Liu Jincai.

There was really no other way, otherwise Sun Zhi, who was determined to kill and act alone, would never lower his profile like this.Like Chen Chen, Sun Zhi was also cornered, and he had only one way to bow his head to the headquarters.

Seeing Sun Zhi's attitude, Liu Jincai was taken aback.In fact, Liu Jincai was also aware of Sun Zhi's temper, and this time he wanted to vent his anger and kill Sun Zhi's temper, so that he would realize the disparity in status between himself and him.It's just that Liu Jincai didn't expect Sun Zhi to give in so early.

Now that Sun Zhi has softened, Liu Jincai can no longer say some exaggerated words. After all, the headquarters still needs to use Sun Zhi and the second battalion.The [-]st and [-]nd Battalions would be the barrier to the north of Headquarters.

Therefore, Liu Jincai said indifferently: "Although the past can be revealed, the future must not be missed. You can make one mistake, but you can't make two mistakes!"

After hearing the subtext of Liu Jincai's words, Sun Zhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "That is, that is, the subordinates will definitely follow the banner of the leader, and the subordinates will fight wherever the leader points out!"

"Brother Liu is also invited to go to the city to have a rest. Brother Liu has come a long way and has worked hard. The city has already prepared some thin wine for Brother Liu to wash away the dust."

Nodding his head, Liu Jincai said to Sun Zhi: "There's no rush to drink, the things the head of the group told me are important. The head of the group wants me to ask you, can this Yizhou government be held?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Sun Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, but it needs the support of the headquarters. Whether it is equipment, supplies or soldiers, the Second Battalion is in short supply, and they all need the strong support of the headquarters!"

To Sun Zhi's disappointment, Liu Jincai shook his head and said, "Don't even think about it, soldiers. There is a big war in the south, and there is not enough troops in the headquarters. But the supplies can be doubled, and you can expand the number of soldiers on the spot. You can defend Can I live in Yizhou?"

"This?" Sun Zhi still hesitated.

At this time, Liu Jincai said again: "Old Sun, this is your last chance. If you miss it, it will be too late. The regiment leader said, if you can defend until the end of the Southern War, then you will still be a hero of the security regiment. Your grandson still has hope if you bestow a noble title on the country. Think again!"

In a few breaths, Sun Zhi had thought about it several times, he gritted his teeth and said to Liu Jincai.

"Brother Liu, please relay this to the head of the regiment, saying that I, Sun Zhi, must guard Yizhou well. Even if the battle ends in the end, I will keep the Tazi troops in the Shandong area. But, I just hope that the head of the regiment will reward me in the end. Give my son a noble title and give him a feudal state, so that my grandson's family can be prosperous and rich for generations. In this way, my grandson Zhi will die in peace."

After listening to Sun Zhi's words, Liu Jincai looked at Sun Zhi meaningfully and said.

"It all depends on your Battalion Commander Sun's performance. The regiment commander doesn't want your Battalion Commander Sun to die. What the regiment commander wants is Yizhou Mansion, and what he wants is to keep the Tartar army in Shandong!"
