Chapter 268: Narrow Victory

() "It's coming!"

Chen Dongshan shouted, the long knife went straight in, a big knife made a sporadic sound, the knife edge went down, and a slash came over, the foot was as stable as Mount Tai, with the sound of breaking the air, the prefect of Dujiang had not stopped it, and the knife was already in front of Chang Lei's eyes.

Chang Leibu walked in the wind, sank his shoulders and flashed, then gently avoided the vital point, and a sword "stabbed cold", came out of his waist, and stabbed straight to the heart.

Chen Dongshan was not in a hurry, he hurriedly unloaded his strength, and the knife edge was horizontal, "dang", Chang Lei's knife edge was blocked in front of his chest, Chang Lei's sword went sideways, and with a slight pick, he stabbed it into Chen Dongshan's face, Chen Dongshan couldn't dodge, so he had to hurriedly retreat, Chang Lei took three steps and made two steps, aimed the sword at Chen Dongshan's lower plate, and stabbed it with a sword.

Chen Dongshan jumped up, his toes were on the blade of the sword, and a big knife swept horizontally towards Chang Lei.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongshan kicked towards Chang Lei's leg, Chang Lei turned over with a harrier, stood up, and stabbed the blade downward, making Chen Dongshan's kick straight on the back of the knife.

Chen Dongshan's kicked foot was painful, annoyed and angry, and slashed at Chang Lei's head with a big knife, if this knife was sturdy and steady, it would inevitably split Chang Lei's head in half.

Chang Lei's body was like a cat, passed under Chen Dongshan's crotch, turned around and stabbed a sword on Chen Dongshan's back, and with a stroke of the blade, he cut a hole in his clothes.

"That's it!" Du Zhifu hurriedly drank, "You two, it's just nonsense, do you still put me, the prefect, in your eyes!" This is a military camp, isn't it a place for you to mess around? What kind of system? ”

Du Zhifu continued, "Chen Dongshan, you also lost, the manly man is full of words, since he has promised something, he must do it, and now appoint Chang Lei as the commander of the capital to assist Xue Tan and Chen Dongshan in training the army and talent scheduling." ”

"In the future, the two of them must no longer be so nonsense, Xue Tan, you are too, you have paid so much attention, if you really make trouble, you have just taken office on the first day, let me and the prince and the emperor, how to explain?"

Xue Tan stepped forward and saluted: "My lord, it's a little reckless, but since Chen Jiedu said that in this army, force determines everything, and I'm afraid there is no better way than a competition." ”

He ...... He cheats, big men drill

What does a crotch span look like? It is insulting to the military style, and I am not convinced. ”

Chen Dongshan said angrily.

Chang Lei smiled slyly and said: "This is not a 'humiliation of the crotch', since you said it, it is not child's play on the battlefield, it is naturally important to save your life, if it is not for the advice of the adult, plus my subordinates are merciful, the sword has no eyes, I am afraid that the sword will penetrate your chest early and die in Huangquan." ”

"You ......" Chen Dongshan couldn't speak angrily, glared at the two, Xue Tan pretended to be innocent, and stood aside secretly happy.

"Presumptuous, don't stop yet." Du Jiang scolded Chen Dongshan angrily, Chen Dongshan flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and left.

"Ugh." Du Jiang sighed, "You don't know, this Chen Dongshan treats this army as his own family, and now as soon as you come, you will take over the personnel transfer in this army, he is naturally not convinced, and I hope you understand, in the future, the two of you can cooperate more to make a career." ”

"It's okay, Master Du is too worried." Xue Tan replied lightly, and muttered in his heart, it seems that between Du Jiang and Chen Dongshan, they don't get along very well, and this army is not an idle place.

After Xue Tan and Chang Lei won that Chen Jiedu that day, the attitude of the officers and soldiers in the army towards him also improved a lot, which made him sigh that no matter where he went, the weak never got the respect and trust they deserved.

He was also secretly thinking about how to subdue this Chen Dongshan and use it for his own use.

On that day, although Chen Dongshan lost, after all, he still did not obey, if he secretly acted in the army, then he may not be able to completely control the situation, and he will definitely not be able to manage the big and small matters in the military camp.

In the entire military camp, it is even more complicated than the imperial court, Xue Tan knows best in his heart, although he is good at loathing on weekdays and mingles in the Jinghong Pavilion all day long, but he was a general after all, and he knows that military power is the most important thing.

This is the place where the power of the entire state and county is most concentrated, and the army is closed and autonomous, if the leader wants to have any ghost thoughts, the officers and soldiers will not listen to other people's opinions and orders, so once Chen Dongshan has crooked thoughts and is persuaded by Du Jiang, it is not just Xue Tan or Chang Lei who can resist it with the strength of one person.

He understands that if he wants to make some achievements, he must need Chen Dongshan's help.

So he got up early in the morning and packed his outfits

, changed into clean clothes, and came to visit the Chen Mansion early, and while waiting outside, Xue Tan was also looking up and down his mansion.

Chen Dongshan's mansion is not rich, and even for a person like him who holds the power of soldiers and horses, it is even a little shabby, the house is simple and narrow, and there is a well and a water tank in the courtyard, unlike other people's mansions where flowers are full of flowers and rockeries and flowing water.

This also made Xue Tan's heart settle down, he knew that with Chen Dongshan's identity, Mo said that this mansion, and even in this Yangzhou, I am afraid that there are not many people who can really be difficult for him, if he wants something, Yinliang, the mansion and the woman, it is effortless.

But since the place where he lives is so shabby, he is obviously not a person who pursues power and status, and his life is very clean, Xue Tan knows it in his heart, if he explains the stakes to him, he must be able to get along.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the man come out again and call him: "My lord, please come in." ”

Xue Tan stepped forward, and Chen Dongshan was sitting in the room, without raising his head.

"Lord Chen."

Xue Tan smiled and said to Chen Dongshan, and then Chen Dongshan still didn't talk.

"Lord Chen, Xiaosheng is also a newcomer, he was lucky that day, he won you, I was offended, and I hope you Haihan."

Xue Tan continued.

"Nothing to do, be courteous, or be a traitor or a thief."

Chen Dongshan frowned, and then said, "I don't know why the prince sent you here, what kind of affairs you are in charge of, and no matter how many connections you have opened up for your official position, my army must definitely obey my command, and it will be strictly managed. ”

Xue Tan was suddenly stunned, and asked curiously: "Lord Chen has something to say, is it true that other states and counties are not in charge, why are you the only one in this Yangzhou?" I'm afraid it's inappropriate for adults to say this. ”

"Huh." Chen Dongshan snorted coldly, but he was not angry, and continued.

"The rest of the states and counties, no matter how big or small the officials, all have ghosts, up and down, all to make a sum of money to become officials, whether it is the silver taels for disaster relief, or the taxes paid, to the imperial court, or to the disaster victims, all greatly discounted, only Yangzhou has never had this happen."
