Bai Boxi crossed his waist and shook his head and thought about it left and right, not to mention, he really hadn't seen Wanchun's true face, and when he looked back, he saw that she was dressed in the same old-fashioned way, with a white coat and a white mask, and occasionally a white hat, revealing a pair of eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He shook his head, the doubts in Rong Shaotang's heart were even heavier, and he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Wanchun's tent, but he didn't see anyone, but only saw the faint candlelight shining through the tent.

In the cold night of early spring, Bai Boxi couldn't help but shrink his head from the cold, so he patted Rong Shaotang's shoulder and said, "Let's go, go back to the tent and have a few drinks." ”

Rong Shaotang scolded him with a cold face: "The ban on alcohol was only issued, why do you, the deputy commander-in-chief, want to take the lead in defying the law?" ”

Bai Boxi was stunned for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "How come, I'm just talking about drinking two cups of hot tea, let's go, count me as inviting you." ”

He turned around very smartly, Rong Shaotang's cold face melted, and he faintly smiled, and then followed him into the camp tent.

Before dawn on the second day, the generals were waiting for their troops to raise their camp, but suddenly a man came to report that news had come from the north.

Rong Shaotang and Bai Boxi hurriedly called the messenger in, they thought that the letter sent to the Li family had an answer, but unexpectedly it was the latest express from the northeast, Zhang Jingtong, the fifth young master of the Zhang family, and Zhang Jingzu, the commander of the Zhang family, had an internal dispute, and Zhang Jingtong pulled people to start a new stove.

This is enough news to be a big deal, and it is even more shocking than the shaking of the earth. Everyone knows that among the six children of the Zhang family, only the eldest young master Zhang Jingzu and the fifth young master Zhang Jingtong were born in the army, and the rest Zhang Jingye, Zhang Jingcheng and the two young ladies Zhang Manzhi Zhang Manyi are all people who dance and write, and they are powerless. Therefore, after the death of his father Zhang Zuoling, the first thing Zhang Jingzu did to take over Zhang Jiajun was to cultivate Zhang Jingtong as his right-hand man.

Compared with the commander of the five tigers of the Zhang family, Zhang Jingtong, who is a sibling brother, is obviously more important to Zhang Jingzu, and in just one year after joining the army, he was promoted from the commander of the second regiment of the third mixed brigade of the Northeast Army to the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Security. And judging from his enlistment results, he can be regarded as living up to his brother's ardent expectations for him.

This will say that he wants to break with Zhang Jingzu and start anew?

Not to mention that Rong Shaotang didn't believe it, even Bai Boxi shook his head and said: "I'm afraid there is fraud in this, and now it is when the Japanese Kwantung Army is wantonly attacking the Northeast, and their Zhang family needs to work together, that Zhang Jingtong doesn't look like a stupid person, how can he betray the Zhang family at a critical moment?" Could it be a ploy to lure the enemy? ”

Rong Shaotang carefully looked at the marching map in front of him with a candle, rubbed his chin and muttered: "The Kwantung Army is like a bamboo all the way, and the Zhang family troops are losing and retreating, and there is no need for the Zhang family to lure the enemy deeper." In my opinion, I'm afraid that the fifth young master must have had a disagreement with his brother in some aspect, and he had to make this decision as a last resort. ”

It's just that what is the reason that can make siblings who are as close as one turn against each other?

Rong Shaotang thought about it secretly, and hurriedly called the person who reported the news: "Do you know who Zhang Jingtong has wooed?" ”

The person replied: "Because the news is secret, only one of the five tiger commanders has ...... heard." He hesitated slightly, and glanced at Rong Shaotang hesitantly before continuing, "And the third master of the Li family." ”

"Li Jiyuan?"

Rong Shaotang frowned suddenly, Bai Boxi was also taken aback, and hurriedly stood in front of the messenger and said, "Is this news true?" ”

The messenger nodded: "It's true, it is reported that it is precisely because of the Li family's backing that the fifth young master of the Zhang family dares to start anew." ”

"It's no wonder." Bai Boxi muttered, turned his head and said to Rong Shaotang, "The people in the hands of the Li family are enough to share half of the country with the Zhang family, not to mention a Zhang Jingdong rebellion, it is just a small soldier, as long as the Li family is willing, they can also be raised and started anew." Hey, I said that your third uncle has some ability, he knows that if he changes his banner, it will inevitably cause a war of words, but if he helps Zhang Jingtong, then the statement will be different. ”

Zhang Jingzu is the Zhang family, and Zhang Jingtong is also a member of the Zhang family, and outsiders look at the infighting between his brothers, who knows the thoughts of the Li family? Zhang Jingzu is suspicious by nature, with the tiger of the Li family lying on the couch from the side, how can he sleep peacefully? Now there is a Japanese army in front, he is not good at the Li family, if the Japanese are defeated in the future, the Li family has made great efforts, when there is no reward, the rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the bird hides the bow, which is a common thing for soldiers. If Li Jiyuan had a bit of brains, of course he would have expected this, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it was better to give it a go, help the unarmed Zhang Jingtong and make him rely on himself, thereby weakening Zhang Jingzu's strength and preserving the Li family.

It's a two-pronged solution.

Rong Shaotang intuitively felt that he had underestimated the new young general of the Li family in the past, and his resourcefulness and foresight made him sigh a wonderful word. However, who among the five tiger commanders was so bold that he also betrayed Zhang Jingzu?

Rong Shaotang couldn't guess it, so he told the messenger to inquire carefully.

After sending him away, he remembered that the person sent to the Li family hadn't come back yet, Bai Boxi couldn't help but be a little worried: "If Li Jiyuan really sets up a separate door with Zhang Jingtong, will our alliance still work?" ”

Rong Shaotang smiled slightly, rolled up the map lightly, and said: "If the Zhang family brothers don't break up, or there is still a possibility that we and the Li family can't form a knot, but now that Zhang Jingtong and Li Jiyuan have betrayed Zhang Jingzu, I think our alliance is concluded." Not only is it an alliance with the Li family, but more likely, it will be Zhang Jingtong who will form an alliance with us. ”

"Zhang Jingtong? How is this possible! Bai Boxi sneered, shook his head and said, "The dispute between the two families of Zhang Rong has not stopped since the founding of the country, and it is not a child's house, so it will be good if you say it's good?" ”

Rong Shaotang said: "I just looked at the map, the Kwantung Army has occupied Jinzhou for two days, and if we continue to fight, Harbin, the base camp of the Northeast Army, will not be able to keep it." Zhang Jingtong broke with Zhang Jingzu at this time, and in my opinion, he probably did not agree with his brother's policy of non-resistance, and was determined to fight to the death with the Japanese army. It's just that, with his current strength, even with the support of the Li family, he can't resist the progress of the Kwantung Army. If he wants to keep the northeast, he can only form an alliance with us and use our soldiers and horses to attack the Japanese head-on. If you don't believe it, you can wait for a letter from the Li family. ”

Bai Boxi was speechless when he heard this, although he was also the deputy commander of the leading side, but when it came to military ability, he couldn't help but admire the new heir of the Rong family. Now that the covenant has been decided, Bai Boxi is relieved, and the two of them change into military uniforms and prepare to set off again.

Wanchun didn't know about Zhang Jingtong and Li Jiyuan's starting a new stove, she had been working very hard in order to travel for the past two days, and because of the wind blowing last night, she actually started a fever when she set off the next day, which scared Jiaying and Jiang Xu to come over to treat her.

Jiang Xu saw that she had drunk the medicine, so he said, "You can't run behind the team like yesterday today, I'll go out and see who has the carriage and give you a ride." ”

Wan Chun said: "The carriage has already left with grain and grass first, where to wait until this time?" I'd better go on my own. ”

As she spoke, she was about to go to the ground, so panicked that Jiaying held her down and said, "Although you are a doctor, when a doctor is sick, he is a patient, and if he is a patient, he has to listen to us." Don't go any further, there is no carriage, it is good to have horses, I will go out and ask someone to bring you a horse. ”

After that, before Wanchun could stop her, she had already flashed out of the tent, and after a round in all directions, she didn't find the stable. A little soldier who knew her saw her wandering around like a headless fly, and unconsciously asked, "Nurse Wang, what are you looking for?" ”

Jiaying said that Wanchun was sick and wanted to find a horse to carry her, so the little soldier stretched out his hand and pointed to the big tree in the distance and said, "Now that the march is said to go, where is the horse shed?" Oh, go that way, the horses are tied under the trees and by the ditches to eat grass and drink water. ”

When Jiaying heard this, she thanked him and ran to the big tree. But it happened that Rong Shaotang and Bai Boxi came out of the tent and were also going to lead the horses to set off.

Jiaying met Rong Shaotang and them halfway, because she had seen Rong Shaotang before, and knew that he was the sixth young master of the Rong family, the commander-in-chief of the Rong family's army this time, she couldn't help but stand still, and shouted shyly and timidly: "Commander Rong." ”

Rong Shaotang looked back and saw a strange girl standing in front of him, no more than two years old, white and pure, Si Swenwen, so he also stood up and said, "Who are you?" ”

Jia Ying then reported her name and surname, and said: "A female doctor who came with us had a cold and was not in good health, so I was afraid that she would not be able to walk, so I came to lend her a horse." (To be continued.) )
