Dominate the Country

Lushan in October is already very cold. The mountain wind blows on the face like a knife cutting, and the coldness penetrates directly into the bone marrow. Although the light snow that drifted by at the end of September has long disappeared, the ice surface of Yinma River is getting thicker and thicker, but it never deceives anyone.

Xu Shilian led the team out of Tumenji before dark, and set up a part of the militia to transport food. But just one hour later, he regretted it a little. It was dark and the road was invisible, and it was too cold at night.

"Sir, the brothers can't walk anymore..."

"Sir, it's too cold..."

"Oh, I twisted my foot..."

"More torches, watch the road!"

"It's easy to say. You should get me a torch..."

The team began to complain, and the high spirits when they just left Tumenji were completely gone. Marching in the dark, the front and back soldiers inevitably bumped into each other, and the noise in the team became more and more noisy. On the contrary, the militiamen who followed the Green Camp soldiers, pulling food, tents, gunpowder and other materials, did not say a word.

After more than an hour, the four hundred Green Camp soldiers and the three hundred militiamen were busy setting up tents. They could not walk anymore!

Xu Shilian did not have the energy to get angry. Three of the four team officers ran to him and shouted that they were tired and cold. He really overestimated his own people and underestimated the difficulty of marching in the mountains at night in winter. And look at how far they have walked in more than two hours. Is it ten miles? ? ?

Therefore, Xu Shilian’s ambitions and strategic plans yesterday afternoon have all disappeared.

As for the current Ruzhou Camp, even if they can enter the militia camp tonight, the noise and chaos will wake up the thieves from their sleep from a few miles away. Forget it, let's not think about attacking by surprise: "The style of planning and strategizing in storytelling can only exist in storytelling." Xu Shilian showed a trace of self-mockery on his face, facing the cold evening wind, his eyes looking at the dark night sky. Tomorrow we will arrive at the place, so we should be honest and steady - use cannons to bombard!

Xu Shilian did not forget to let people report the news to the militia camp. Li Zhao's two fists were clenched so hard that the veins were exposed. He suppressed his anger and squeezed out a smile to let the green camp soldier who reported the news go down. Before the man walked away, he couldn't help but sweep away all the pens, ink, paper, and inkstones on the desk!

Bastard! Xu Shilian, this bastard! Ruzhou Camp is a bunch of trash!

No one knows what Li Zhao did in the tent afterwards. The lights in the tent were on until dawn. From beginning to end, there was no sound of shouting and cursing in the tent, but many people firmly believed that Li Zhoutong must have cursed Ruzhou Camp like dogs in his heart.

Xu Pengqiu's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light. The government troops have arrived, but is the Chen family really finished?

Xu Pengqiu did not doubt the power of the government. He only doubted the determination of the Ruzhou Camp and the Ruzhou government. To be honest, in the eyes of the Xu family, the Chen family, which was not really valued in previous years, was mysterious. Not to mention bone china, coal stoves, and flush toilets, the iron material was also beyond imagination. The Chen family blurted out 100,000 kilograms! This was a number that shocked the Xu family. And they also have cannons and the kind of stone-like adhesive material.

As a standard "native", Xu Pengqiu did not know cement. Since ancient times, China has built city walls, high-rise buildings, etc., using glutinous rice paste, lime, clay, fine sand, etc., and there has never been a concept of cement. But Xu Pengqiu's brain is not stupid, he can clearly recognize the great value of cement. If the material is easy to make, this new adhesive will have greater profits than iron.

Since the Chen family has built such a fortress on Fenghuangtai, they can also build a second and third one on the west side of Fenghuangtai. Will the government troops attack one by one?

Xu Pengqiu believes that if the government is determined to wipe out the Chen family, there will be no loss, but do the Ruzhou government and the Ruzhou camp have the determination to fight to the death? The Ruzhou camp certainly does not, but the opinions of the Ruzhou camp have no influence on this matter. The key lies in the Ruzhou government. As long as the determination of the Ruzhou government is a little less, the Chen family can survive this disaster with its turtle shell...

When the Qingtiaoling camp was established, Zhao Chuanjing was also beaten by the Ruzhou camp, but didn't he survive in the end? Although Zhao Chuanjing has a messy relationship behind him, the Chen family is relatively weaker. But the bones of the Chen family itself are much stronger than Zhao Chuanjing.

A large number of Green Camp soldiers moved in from the militia camp. In broad daylight, the news could not be hidden from Phoenix Tower. Chen Erbao immediately sent someone to Iron Village to deliver the message.

It was not that he was scared. But the number of troops coming was too large. It was estimated that there were seven or eight hundred people.

And Phoenix Tower had less than a hundred people at most!

The news reached Iron Village that afternoon, and Chen Hui immediately convened all the core members of the family for a meeting. At the beginning, he reviewed his own inadequacies and failures in estimating the government, and then got straight to the point. The actual decision was also very simple, asking Chen Ming to lead a part of the troops to support immediately.

The entire Chen family did not expect to provoke the regular government army to attack. Because throughout the process, the Chen family tried their best to avoid "excessive" behavior, and Chen Ming also kept emphasizing that his family was a bandit rather than a rebel. After getting the title of "mob" given by the Lushan County Government, he thought that the entire Chen family had actually gotten rid of the threat.

The militia came, they were completely different from the Green Camp soldiers.

But who would have thought that in October, the Green Camp soldiers really came, and the plan of Chen Hui and Chen Ming, father and son, failed, and the Chen family suffered heavy losses!

Let’s not talk about the prospect of this battle with the government army, just talk about their secret deal with the Xu family, how can this be carried out? Do you really think that the government is eating for free? Moreover, so many Green Camp soldiers have arrived at Fenghuangtai, but the Chen family has not received any information, which makes people even more anxious!

Chen Ming is the head of the entire Chen family armed forces. He immediately led people to support Fenghuangtai. Chen Ming did accept it on the spot. But in his heart, at this moment, Chen Ming really felt the heart of Yuan Shao who was worried about his son’s illness and did not attack Cao. His wife is about to give birth, and his heart can’t help but worry!

"The child to be born is my grandson. I, your father, am no less nervous than you. No one wants your wife and your child to have any misfortune. That is why we have to protect Phoenix Tower. If Phoenix Tower is breached, the government troops will be able to attack Xiaonangou next. Even if they send a part of their troops to kill Xiaonangou, they can fight all the way to Tiezhai. At that time, your wife and your child will be in real danger.

This battle with the government troops is related to the survival of the entire Chen family. If the Chen family is there, even if you die outside, your father and I can make your son suffer no grievances. If the Chen family is not there, your wife will not be able to survive even if she gives birth to the child safely."

"You understand this."

"So, don't act like a woman, go say goodbye to your daughter-in-law, and quickly bring people to reinforce Phoenix Tower!"
