Chapter 328: Return to the city in embarrassment
After being reassured, several people returned to the county office.
Chen Baichuan suggested: "Today we are up and down, I'm sorry for this special day if we don't drink a little wine." Let's go, ask the cook to fry a few side dishes, and don't get drunk. ”
Speaking of drinking, Wu Datou was the first to be interested, he put his arm around Chen Baichuan's shoulder, and said, "Drink him in the dark, go!" ”
Chu Hui and Xue Si glanced at each other, and after finding that there was deep helplessness in their eyes, they looked at each other and smiled.
After getting along for the past few days, the two have a bit of a taste of being confidants.
"My lord, now the Qing army outside the city is still waiting, several of us are drunk, then the Qing army is coming to attack the city, who will meet it?"
When Wu Datou heard this, he glanced at him and said, "You Chu Hui, you are usually a good man, why have you become more and more mother-in-law recently." I'm about to become a mother-like character, almost like that old guy in my family. ”
"If the old man of your family listens to your words, he will definitely discount your bones."
Chen Baichuan quipped.
After three or two jokes, the four of them looked up and laughed, and walked into the gate of the county government together.
……………………
Another two days passed, and looking at the gate of Nanling City, everyone was sighing in their hearts.
went to Beiling City with great ambitions, and now it is an embarrassing return. This is the case when the division is not successful, the Qing army outside Beiling City is still at ease, but their most respected general is injured because of this time.
There were even some bad noises in the camp.
The soldiers had long regarded Chen Baili as a god-like figure, and even if he accidentally fell off the altar due to an ambush by the Qing army, the big guy still respected him from the bottom of his heart.
But what about Chen Baichuan?
There is a conspiracy theory circulating in the camp, saying that Chen Baichuan actually colluded with the Qing army in order to compete for his brother's fame and fortune, intending to take charge of the Chen army.
At first, many people were dismissive of this statement, but after a long time, it was inevitable that the three of them would become tigers, and some people believed this statement. Among them even included some middle-level officers, they may not have listened to all of them, but they only had doubts about Chen Baichuan in their hearts.
The thing that hurt the general that day was clearly a thunderbolt, who didn't know that Chen Guo's thunderbolt, an extremely powerful weapon, was developed by Chen Baichuan, the head of the bureau. In the past few days, even the Thunder Battalion has received a lot of white eyes, which is unbearable for the soldiers in the battalion who usually show off their might, so much so that they also have a lot of complaints about Chen Baichuan.
"General, it's here."
Chen Baili heard the words and opened the curtain on the sedan chair and saw three big characters on the city wall, Beiling City.
He paused, and then understood, and said to the guards beside him: "You guys, you guys, have joined forces to deceive me. ”
The guards pretended to be stupid and said: "What the general is talking about, I can't understand a word of the humble position." ”
Chen Baili stretched out his hand and patted the top of the guard's head, and said, "You guys are stupid after I was injured, aren't you, this is obviously Nanling City, do you still have to pretend to be it?" ”
The guard lost his voice and said, "How do you know?" Could it be that someone leaked the news? ”
"No one leaked the news." Chen Baili couldn't help laughing, "I have watched the road to Beiling City dozens of times on the map, and I don't dare to say everything about the way there, but I know it well." I've seen the way to Nanling City a few times, and you think I can't feel it when I go around in circles. ”
The guard was just a teenager, and he was embarrassed to touch his side face and said, "It turns out that the adults have known for a long time, and they don't say it, so it hurts us ......."
Looking at the position of the original name of Nanling City, it has now been replaced by the three words "Beiling City", and there are traces of Xinzhu on it.
Chen Baili smiled, it's really good to have this group of stupid subordinates. He gritted his teeth and stood out of the sedan chair and said, "I can't live up to your wishes. ”
The guards were shocked: "General, the doctor said that the wounds on your body can't be easily involved, so let's go back to the sedan chair." ”
Chen Baili smiled: "It's okay, do you know Chen Baichuan, he said before that he would use Moutai spirits to wash his wounds, and he would not feel ...... Dye, that's the word, right? ”
"I've heard of it, the general's own brother." The young man's face froze slightly, "But what is the infection?" ”
"It's normal that you don't understand what that guy says, and a lot of times I don't understand what he's talking about. But after his explanation, he would be shocked by what he said, and he could always make something shocking. ”
Chen Baili's eyebrows danced more and more as he spoke, and a little blush of excitement appeared on his face, which was pale from blood loss.
The young man lowered his head, he didn't dare to let Chen Baili see the expression on his face. When the general talked about Chen Baichuan's three words, whether it was his expression, tone of speech, or actions, he looked very proud.
He must be proud of this younger brother.
Therefore, the general could not be let know about the gossip against Chen Baichuan in the army, and the doctor said that he should not be angry at this time.
The soldiers who stayed in Nanling City had already heard the news that the general was injured! In addition to cursing the Qingguo people who dared to hurt the general, they were also worried about Chen Baili's injury.
With such a group of subordinates, Chen Baili can be said to have died without regrets.
Although he will not die easily after cleaning up Qingjun, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Lifting the curtain on the sedan chair and waving to the people who came to "visit" him along the street, Chen Baili was even more embarrassed than everyone in Nanling City. He was supposed to enter the city with a tall horse and majesty, but now he is nested in a sedan chair, and he is clearly an embarrassed loser.
Qingjun Qingjun, how can I recover this account from you?
However, the success of the Qingguo people's easy ambush is also related to Chen Baili's own actions.
He adhered to the idea of taking the lead, and he was at the forefront of the queue every time, and he didn't pay too much attention to the fact that Qingjun had gunpowder, which led to today's tragic situation.
In the words that Chen Baichuan taught, he is dying.
As for how to clean up the people of Qingguo, to be honest, at least at this time, Chen Baili did not have a trace of thought in his heart. With his current physical condition, it is really impossible to lead the army into battle, and his subordinates will not allow it.
After waking up from his injuries, he clearly asked the two lieutenant generals to lead the army to attack Beiling City, but as a result, they didn't play a trick to bring him back to Nanling City.
I can only recuperate here now, and as for the matter of Qingjun, I don't think about it.
In fact, the thing that made Chen Baili even more difficult to hold his mind was what to do over there in Changling City?
