"About two or three thousand." Kong Xiao first put his hands behind his back and his expression was solemn: "So, is it two thousand, or three thousand?" ”

In the face of this enemy army with "thousands" as a unit, Kong Xiaoxian, who had only more than 100 people under his command, had gloomy eyes, but the scout could not answer the question he raised.

Kong Xiao first fell into a tangle. Looking at his frowning brow, you can know how embarrassed he is.

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and roared angrily, "You scouts are the worst I have ever had!" When you see the enemy, you think of running away, but not reconnaissance! I think that when Lao Tzu was a scout lieutenant, he knew how many people were coming from a distance. ”

Chen Mu thought to himself: Kong Xiao first wanted to use a roar to cover up the timidity he had just revealed. The so-called "die with the brethren" is nothing more than a slogan. I don't know what kind of gaze those ghosts residing in the north city gate are looking at Kong Xiaoxian at this time. After seeing Kong Xiaoxian's performance, what kind of mood did they have.

Later, Kong Xiaoxian called for an emergency meeting, which was attended by all officers above the centurion level.

The messenger with a small flag on his back ran away in all directions, informing the doors to go.

Wu Dong, the overseer, shook his head, and followed everyone to the commander's tent, at this time he also knew in his heart that no matter how much he defended, it would be just a waste of effort, and he put his life into it.

An aura of escape permeated in Jiuquan City, for some reason, Chen Mu felt relaxed at this time, and found a feeling of staying out of the matter, it stands to reason that this should not be, but this feeling is so inexplicable.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very heavy, and the generals and officials held their own opinions and argued endlessly. But on the whole, there are still more people who quit.

At this moment, another scout ran over: "Report to the captain, reinforcements are coming!" Tang Hong personally led the troops to the brigade school, and a thousand people came. It was less than thirty miles away from Jiuquan City, and Captain Tang said that he would enter the city overnight. ”

Hearing this, the conference room exploded.

Everyone high-fived, danced, and celebrated.

"Finally the reinforcements are coming, hahahaha!" Kong Xiaoxian raised his arms and shouted: "We live and die with Jiuquan!" ”

——

"It's fucking numb. These officials know how to say this kind of thing, alas, the times are different, and people's hearts are not ancient. ”

Zhang lame squatted outside the tent, muttering indignantly, and when Chen Mu came out, he lame and pulled up a piece of big crush to put it on Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was stunned: "Where did you get it?" ”

Zhang lame smiled: "I found it from the enemy camp, I think it's quite new, so I'll keep it for you." ”

Chen Mu looked back: "I said lame, can you be quieter when you mumble to yourself in the future?" Fortunately, I came out just now, and if I had changed someone else, I might have spread your words to the ears of the captain. You're not asking for trouble? ”

Zhang lame snorted lightly: "Do you think those words of the captain are numb?" ”

"It's really numb, but it can also boost morale." Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders.

"Yes." Zhang lame smiled bitterly: "After all, most people are stupid." In the future, you will be an officer, and you will have to take care of these fools. Say more meaty things. ”

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "Lao Zhang, you are a good soldier, but you can't be proud, you still need to work hard, the officers' eyes are bright, and they will see your good performance." ”

"Stinky boy, practice with me again!" Lao Zhang scolded indignantly, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

——

Calculate the time, and the reinforcements will definitely enter Jiuquan before the enemy army.

The good news is fermenting in Jiuquan City, and people's hearts are excited.

In order to welcome the arrival of Captain Tang Hong of the Third Brigade of the 15th Division, Commander Kong Xiaoxian ordered that the stones blocking the east gate be removed overnight, and the captain must be allowed to walk in with grace. It looks like a victorious army.

Kong Xiaoxian asked the good-looking Chen Mu to handle the greeting matters, Kong Xiaoxian said: Not only should the road be clean, but also the atmosphere should be set off, so that the captain can feel the enthusiasm of our seventh regiment.

Chen Mu said: "Guarantee to complete the task." Let the captain see the mental outlook of our 7th Regiment, we are the 7th Regiment that cannot be defeated, and no matter how crazy the enemy is, our 7th Regiment will still stand. ”

"Xiao Chen, you are a young man with a very high level, the book is not in vain, you behave well, there are many opportunities to promote you."

"Thank you, Captain! For the unsparing support of the Captain Duwei, Chen Mu has no teeth to forget! ”

Listening to Chen Mu's words, Zhang Cripple snorted his teeth, and after Kong Xiao left first, Zhang Cripple coughed lightly: "Chen Mu, where did you learn your ability to pat sycophants?" Brought in the womb? ”

"You think I like to pat on the back?" Chen Mu turned his head and stared at Zhang Cripple: "There is a chief who likes to listen to sycophants, and I have no problem." Everyone else shoots, but I don't shoot, so I just don't take the captain in my eyes. I shouldn't be such a fool. In fact, Kong Xiaoxian also understood that I was making sycophants, but he would never slap me in front of outsiders. He likes to maintain that vibe. Even if I don't shoot well, as long as I work hard, he is happy. At least I'm defending him. ”

Zhang lame nodded: "In fact, what people hate the most is people who slap sycophants, scolding them as sycophants, and they all think that sycophants are the worst and are snobs, but people always like a faint taste of sycophants, including those who scold sycophants." And the master of patting the horse, that is, the master of creating the atmosphere, can have the taste of horse skin, and it must not be too much. If you don't create an atmosphere, it will be too disgusting to shoot directly as soon as you come up, and the person being photographed will also feel very uncomfortable. ”

Zhang Cripple squinted his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and had the esoteric expression of an old pedant.

Chen Mu smiled: "Alas, you said this clearly, the truth you said, others may be able to think of it, but ordinary people can't say it." I've learned today. ”

The cripple smiled proudly, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "You kid is practicing with me again." ”

Chen Muhui smiled: "Thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants." Oh yes, what I just said was from my heart. ”

The cripple laughed.

Chen Mu also laughed.

Messing with Zhang Cripple is the best entertainment for Chen Mu now, otherwise looking at the lifeless city wall all day long can really drive people crazy.

As for the ceremony of welcoming the captain, Chen Mu didn't take it too seriously. Now that we're at war, how can I put on a show for you. Being able to defend Jiuquan City is the best gift for the captain.

However, the stones at the east gate still had to be moved, and because there were too few people, Chen Mu personally went to carry the stones, and at this time, Li Xiu, the general of the staff, brought a few people over to help Chen Mu.

"Thank you." Chen Mu smiled.

Li Xiu walked over and said in a low voice: "Tang Hong is the son of Tang Ning, the second master of the gate valve, although he is a concubine, he is also the son of the gate valve, and he doesn't like to be a sycophant." ”

"Hmm. Got it. Thank you. ”

"Nothing to thank." Li Xiu smiled: "Everyone understands people, and they will help more in the future." I know you're not a sycophant, but you're just forced by this environment to be helpless. Actually, I'm the same. ”

"Huh." Chen Mu smiled ashamedly.
