Chapter 51: Turning the Eye
Liu Chenglin and Chen Changping are both from Jingzhou, but one is an official eunuch family, the other is a common people, both of them are famous for their military force in Jingzhou, and in peaceful years, the two still have a lot of intersections, but when the troubled times came, one became an officer and soldier, and the other became a bandit. Liu Chenglin felt that he had the duty to quell the chaos and Jing'an, but Chen Changping thought that there was nothing wrong with taking the villagers to ask for an activity, and there was not much difference in the essential meaning of being forced to death by officials or being killed by officers and soldiers.
Chen Changping knew that he was not Liu Chenglin's opponent, and these people under him were also ordinary peasants, who had no strength and didn't know what the battlefield killing was, if he was right with Liu Chenglin, it would only increase casualties, so he ordered Chen Changfu to leave with most of the people, and he only brought more than ten life and death brothers to stay to threaten Liu Chenglin.
If it fails, the rest of the people will always have some hope of escaping into Daqingshan.
Just as Chen Changping understands Liu Chenglin, Liu Chenglin also knows the other party very well, if the two sides fight, Chen Changping is naturally not his opponent, this person has a lot of kung fu, but seventy or eighty percent of it is above the big bow behind him, but he killed his relatives before he launched an attack, but his ability is more than enough.
Liu Chenglin thought about it, but in the end, there was no way to have it both ways, looking at the trembling parents and sisters opposite, where could he be ruthless. "Okay, I promise you. Let's go, Chen Changping, you have remembered it, I have written down this hatred, and when this matter is over, I will come to look for you. ”
Chen Changping was overjoyed: "You are an official, I am a thief, and when we meet in the future, we will naturally never die." If you have the ability, you will kill me, but don't fall into my hands. ”
He held the three members of the Liu family hostage, slowly retreated backwards, retreated behind everyone, turned over and got on the horse, more than ten people surrounded him, and rushed all the way to the large army in front.
Liu Chenglin really stood in place, not moving.
"Liu Chenglin, you colluded with the bandits and went away, I will definitely report this matter." Zhu Jun on the side was angry and ruined.
"Listen to it!" Liu Chenglin glanced at him indifferently, "What Liu did by himself, he will finish it by himself, so he won't worry about Captain Zhu." ”
"Finish it yourself?" Zhu Jun sneered, "Don't forget the assembly time given to us by the upper peak, as soon as these bandits enter Daqing Mountain, it is not easy to find and destroy them, if you miss the military plane, can you afford this crime?" ”
Liu Chenglin was silent for a moment, of course he knew how difficult it would be to let these people enter Daqing Mountain, and then find them and exterminate them, but what choice could he make?
"If you want to die, I won't accompany you to die, I won't carry this pot." Zhu Jun looked at Liu Chenglin, and a smug glint flashed in his eyes, "Liu Chenglin, our department must assemble in Jingzhou City on time." It's impossible to accompany you here to suppress bandits. ”
Liu Chenglin turned his head slowly, looked at Zhu Jun with black eyes like ink, and saw that the other party's heart trembled a little, his lips were dry, and he licked his lips uneasily.
The contradictions between the two have long accumulated over time, and the grievances are deep. Liu Chenglin relied on his ability to have a good reputation in this army, and Zhu Jun just relied on Zhu's nepotism to parachute in and became the chief officer of this army, squeezing Liu Chenglin into a deputy, but Zhu Jun soon found that he had the name of the chief officer in this army and no chief officer.
Zhu Jun is not the kind of person who is useless, he is a good worker, even if he is invincible to Liu Chenglin, he is also a first-class person in the Henghai Navy, plus his own background is stronger than Liu Chenglin to the point that he doesn't know where, under some painstaking management, there are many people who defect to him.
This makes this army full of contradictions at the moment, and there are more intrigues between each other, squeezing out Liu Chenglin and completely mastering this army is already the most important thing for the Zhu army. You must know that this unit has been trained by Liu Chenglin for many years, and it is one of the most powerful units in the Henghai Navy. Compared with taking the command of this army, Chen Changping and these people are not as good as a fart to Zhu Jun.
What he did before was just a gesture by Zhu Jun in order to achieve his goal. Liu Chenglin naturally understands this, where is Zhu Jun such a frivolous character on weekdays, just making a play for other officers to see.
For the crime of default, it is not only the chief officer who will be held accountable, but all officers will be punished. Failure to pacify bandits is a crime, and if it is overdue, it will be a crime on top of a crime.
Liu Chenglin sighed secretly in his heart, between the future and his relatives, he could not choose the former, and he could still fight with his own skills in the future, if his relatives were gone, he would really be gone.
The world of great controversy is coming, even if you lose the opportunity this time, are you still afraid that you won't be able to fight back? Why should you play with someone like Zhu Jun to fight for wealth?
Looking back at the rows of officers standing behind him, there was a look of panic on their faces, obviously extremely embarrassed. sighed in his heart, but he didn't blame them much, this was originally because of his own affairs and dragged down these people, if it wasn't for his own family falling into the hands of the other party, it would not be difficult to exterminate Chen Changping and these people.
"You take the troops to Jingzhou to assemble, this group of bandits, I will solve it myself." Liu Chenglin said to Zhu Jun lightly.
Zhu Jun was ecstatic in his heart, he finally reached his goal, it was easy to leave, and if he wanted to come back, it would be difficult. "How many people do you want? More than is possible. And I won't cover it up for you in front of the peak. ”
"All I have to do is keep my own soldiers. The rest, let it go. Liu Chenglin listened to the sound of a sigh of breath behind him, and his heart became more and more gloomy.
"That's thousands of bandits, and you only have twenty personal soldiers?" Even Zhu Jun didn't expect Liu Chenglin to do this? If Liu Chenglin insists on leaving a group of people, it is okay for him. Anyway, Liu Chenglin's departure from the team, it is absolutely impossible to return to this army.
"It's just a rabble." Liu Chenglin sneered: "It's just the Chen Changping brothers who are difficult to deal with." He glanced back at Chen Chang'an, Chen Changgui and Chen Changgui, who were bound, "Now there are only two left, what is the difficulty of exterminating them?" As long as Chen Changping is slaughtered, the rest are just pig and sheep ears. ”
Looking at the arrogant Liu Chenglin, Zhu Jun's heart was broken, but he couldn't help but be angry, even if the two didn't deal with each other, but Liu Chenglin's heart, he couldn't compare it in any way, that is, the two got along day and night, compared to being ashamed of themselves, Zhu Jun's heart became more and more jealous and indignant, his background was much more noble than Liu Chenglin, but he was so able to suppress him that he couldn't breathe.
"Okay, okay, since you are so arrogant, it is a sin for me not to fulfill you, or yet, since you only need your own soldiers, then you will follow your wishes, and I will wait for you to return with a big victory in Jingzhou."
Liu Chenglin arched his hand: "It's good to go, don't send it." ”
Zhu Jun sneered, turned around and beckoned, and a personal soldier led another horse over, turned over on the horse, and rode away.
One by one, the officers stepped forward and said goodbye to Liu Chenglin wordlessly, with a look of shame on their faces. Liu Chenglin looked as usual, saying goodbye to everyone one by one.
Everyone knows that this parting will be regarded as parting ways in the future.
The army came and went quickly, when it was about to dark, there was only a mess left here, Liu Chenglin's soldiers found firewood, found a shady place to build a pile of fire, scooped the snow with a helmet to boil water, Liu Chenglin sat cross-legged in front of the fire, silently looking at the burning fire.
The captured Chen Chang'an and Chen Changgui were thrown in the corner, but they were happy at this time.
The large number of officers and soldiers left, leaving only these 20 people, which was naturally a great thing for Chen Changping and them.
Liu Chenglin glanced up at them, suddenly stood up and walked in front of the two, and drew his knife with a choked sound.
Chen Changan smiled and closed his eyes.
The sword wind fell, and there was a crash, but his hands were suddenly free, Chen Changan opened his eyes in shock, but saw Liu Chenglin swinging his knife and cutting the rope that bound Chen Changgui.
Not only were the two Chen brothers stunned, but even Liu Chenglin's personal soldiers also looked at Liu Chenglin blankly.
"What do you mean?"
Liu Chenglin waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
"Huh?" Chen Changan was stunned.
"Go back and tell Chen Changping that you respectfully respect my parents and sisters, and you two are the rewards I paid him in advance."
Chen Changan was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and arched his hand: "Captain Liu is so courageous, since you are so generous, we will also accept this feeling, when we arrive in a safe place, we will naturally send our relatives back, and there will be no hair missing from the safekeeping." ”
Liu Chenglin squinted his eyes and looked at him and said, "Tell Chen Changping that after I pick up my relatives, I will still come to kill him." You have all washed your necks and waited, and letting the two of you go back today is just a matter of delaying the killing for a few days. ”
Chen Changan laughed: "Okay, we will naturally wait for you, but we don't know who will kill the deer." ”
Two bloodstained people staggered away with each other's arms.
