A full twenty boxes of grenades and fierce fire bombs were handed over to Liu Xinda, and Chen Wen stretched his waist at this time, and the task of this trip was successfully completed.

Liu Xinda didn't want to fight Xiangtan, compared to Zhuzhou, Xiangtan is the gateway to Changsha, the city is stronger, the defenders are more elite, and the preparation is more sufficient.

In order to urge Liu Xinda to continue to move forward and take Xiangtan, Ren Xiaonian provided him with more weapons, and promised that after taking Xiangtan, Liu Xinda would be given 5,000 sets of standard armor and more grenades and other weapons.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, Liu Xinda has agreed after hesitating for a long time.

Just today, his vanguard team, Liu Chen's department, had gathered a team of tens of thousands of people and set off in advance, and Tengjian's left army immediately followed.

Chen Wen, who witnessed all this, was also completely relieved.

This is the standard routine of Liu Xinda's subordinates in the war.

These cannon fodder troops led by Liu Chen went into battle first, consumed the enemy's ordnance, wore out the enemy's courage, and Teng Jian's troops then carried out a devastating blow to the enemy, and finally, Liu Buwu's troops gave the enemy a fatal blow. As for Liu Xinda's headquarters, it will not go into battle unless it is absolutely necessary.

According to Chen Wen's intelligence, there are now about 15,000 Hunan troops gathered in Xiangtan City, and unlike the troops guarding Zhuzhou, this army of more than 15,000 people belongs to Ding Hao, the second son of Ding Taiyi, the Hunan observation envoy, and is the elite of Hunan.

However, in Chen Wen's opinion, Liu Xinda's troops, which are equipped with the latest weapons of the Northern Tang Dynasty, should not have to take down the opponent with much effort.

Because aside from these latest weapons, Liu Xinda's army alone is a veteran force that has experienced a hundred battles. Even Liu Chen's cannon fodder unit is an out-and-out group of outlaws.

These people have already killed the red eye, grabbed the red eye, and when they see a city with a large population and a prosperous economy, their eyes will shine, and they will also belong to the kind of people who do not want to die.

For these people, it is a typical person who dies and does not die for thousands of years, and after laying down a place, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, giving full play to the evil desires of human beings. After satisfying his bestial desires in this place, he then set his sights on the next place.

Compared with this army, Liu Xinda's headquarters, the discipline of the left, center, and right armies is outrageously strict, which is comparable to the Northern Tang army.

These two completely different styles of troops belong to the same side, and the contrast is extremely strong.

Sit by the fire, put the tongs on the firewood, put a white flour steamed bun on the tongs and roast it, wait until one side is browned, turn over one side, continue to bake, wait until both sides are browned, then pick it up, tear off the outer layer of the burnt steamed bun shell, gnaw it with taste, and then put the peeled steamed bread on the fire to continue roasting.

This is one of Chen Wen's great hobbies.

After eating a few bites of steamed bun shells, he took out a flat tin wine jug from his arms, took a sip of good wine, and the chill all over his body was driven away without a trace.

The two companions around him, influenced by Chen Wen in the past two years, have also gotten better.

After eating two steamed buns like this, and drinking a third of a small pot of wine, Chen Wen felt tired, and he kept running between the two places these days, which really made people tired.

To be honest, this kind of weather is really not suitable for outdoor activities.

Fortunately, you can go back tomorrow, and now the Northern Tang army should have begun to enter Zhuzhou, and when you get there, you can rest for a while.

When Xiangtan is laid, his task at this stage will be over, and the next should be a peaceful day, and you can enjoy life well.

Get up and get ready to go to bed for a good night's sleep.

"Sleep, recuperate, and go back tomorrow. Qiao Er, haven't you always wanted to go to Chang'an to have a look? When we go back, I'll take you to Chang'an for a walk. Chen Wen smiled and looked at a childish young man who was not yet twenty years old and said.

"That's a good idea!" Qiao Er, whose earlobes were frostbitten, was constantly rubbing his ears with his hands, and it was a little better outside the cold, as soon as the fire was roasted, as soon as the temperature came up, the ears were itchy and unbearable. "I'll keep watch for the middle of the night! You and Brother Chen sleep first! ”

"Okay, you're young, and you're full of spirit!" Chen Zhe, who was in his early forties, slapped off the steamed bun crumbs in his hand and stood up.

There was a bang, and there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Chen Zhe was stunned, walked over and opened the wooden door, but he didn't see anything outside except the sound of the cold wind whimpering. Chen Zhe was stunned, and when he lowered his head, he found that there was a piece of bamboo falling in the gap of the threshold.

As a veteran internal security spy, when entering a place, he must first observe the environment and figure out all the details of the place he is in.

Bending down and picking up this piece of bamboo, Chen Zhe leaned out half of his body from inside the door, and looked left and right, but still found nothing.

He closed the door, took the piece of bamboo, and returned to the house.

Chen Wen also walked over, took the bamboo piece from Chen Zhe's hand, and saw the four words on it by the lamplight, and the faces of the two people changed slightly.

On the bamboo slices are four characters written on the grass with charcoal.

"Betrayal, trap!"

The two looked at each other, their expressions became solemn, and the fatigue on their bodies was hit by these four words in an instant.

Sitting back on the edge of the fire, Chen Wen carefully examined the bamboo piece, obviously, the person who wrote this thing was in a hurry, it seemed that he picked up these two things and wrote these words, and then hurriedly sent them over.

"Do you have any of us in Liu Xinda's Chinese army?" Chen Zhe asked in a low voice.

"I don't know!" Chen Wen shook his head and said: "It's not a line, and there must be no contact between each other." If such a situation arises, it must be a very urgent situation. ”

"Betrayal, trap, what do you mean?" Chen Zhe looked up at Chen Wen in confusion.

Chen Wen gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, in fact, the matter was obvious, but Chen Zhe didn't want to admit it.

He threw the piece of bamboo into the fire, and watched as the flame burst into flames, and in an instant it burned without a trace.

What else can be referred to, it must refer to the change in Liu Xinda's department.

Although he didn't know what was going on, but now, the Northern Tang army regarded Liu Xinda's troops as friendly troops to a certain extent, and if something happened to such a force, it would definitely be quite dangerous.

"Qiao Er, you can't sleep tonight." Chen Wen said suddenly.

"Captain, what do you want me to do?" Qiao Er lowered his voice and asked.

"It's about the second watch, and after another watch, you'll have to sneak out." Chen Wendao: "After going out, go to Zhuzhou, find General Ren Xiaonian, and tell him these four words." As for what happened, I don't know, let General Ren make his own judgment! ”

Qiao Er swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded: "Captain, if something really happens, what should you do?" ”

Chen Wen glanced at Chen Zhe, and suddenly smiled: "What if something really happens?" The skull has fallen off a bowl and a big scar, and those who do our job are ready to die silently at any time. ”

"Then I won't go, let Brother Chen go!" Qiao Erdao.

"Qiao Er, you are young, you can run fast!" Chen Zhe shook his head and said: "I'm old, in such a season, my legs and feet are already a little inconvenient, sneaking out, I don't even have a horse to walk, how far can I run?" Let's get ready! ”

"I'm going to go to Liu Xinda for a drink." Chen Wen stood up, took out two more tin wine jugs from the package, and took out another small flat box, "Chen Zhe, you can sleep in the house, you can snore louder." I think there will still be people who will pay attention to us. We've got to cover for Joe Erda. ”

"Understood."

Chen Wen stood up, pushed open the door, only hesitated slightly, and strode out.

"Mr. Chen, where are you going on this cold day?" Within a few steps, a person came out of the darkness and bowed to Chen Wen with a grin.

Chen Wen raised the wine jug in his hand and said: "I can't sleep, and I went to General Liu to drink a few glasses, I have been coming and going with General Liu in the past few months, but I feel very compatible, but it's a pity, this farewell, I don't know when and what month we can see each other again, I am really reluctant." You have to get drunk to rest. ”

After speaking, regardless of this person's expression, he laughed and carried the wine jug, and walked straight to the wooden house where Liu Xinda lived.

Liu Xinda, who heard the report, was a little stunned, and before he could figure out what the situation was, Chen Wen had already walked in with two wine jugs.

"General Liu, I don't think you will be able to sleep either, so I came to you for a few drinks." Chen Wen threw the wine jug in his hand on the table and said, "Exclusive collection, just these two pots, the authentic northern second pot head." What you can buy on the market is, without a doubt, fake! Chen Wen sat down with a smile, "One person and one pot, how about it?" ”

Liu Xinda shook the wine jug and said, "I'm afraid I don't have half a catty?" Mr. Chen, you seem to have drunk a lot? ”

"It's boring to drink alone, those two guys are too boring, so I have to come to General Liu to you." Chen Wen smiled and took out another flat box and opened it, but inside was a neat row of things rolled with white paper.

"You must not have seen this thing!" Chen Wen smiled and pulled out one of them, turned around and picked up a burning sticks from the fire, but he held the paper roll in his mouth, lit it with the sticks, took a deep breath, and then a puff of smoke erupted from his mouth.

"What is this?" Liu Xinda asked in amazement.

"It's called a cigarette!" Chen Wen said with a smile: "This thing was brought back from far overseas, and now our Tang Sinong Temple is still cultivating, and there is no large-scale planting, which is the most refreshing." Whenever you are tired, you will smoke one and you will feel refreshed immediately. ”

"And such a good thing?" Liu Xinda also took out one from the box, lit it and took a sharp breath, and immediately choked and coughed. "This, this, what is this?"

Chen Wen smiled: "I was not used to it at the beginning, but I slowly couldn't leave him." For a person like me, it is indeed a good thing, and if General Chen gets used to it, he will also think he is good. Come on, General Chen, do you have any appetizers? ”

Liu Xinda nodded: "Since Mr. Chen is elegant, there are naturally appetizers." ”
