Chapter Ninety-Five: The Dragon Crosses the River

The second wave of aid that Zhu Dipong said came only in the evening - because it was originally "in a hurry", and casually mentioned it.

And Li Zhen entered the city later with the late return convoy.

In ancient times, conquerors entered the city, and now it is also "entering the city". The urban area of Yuzhou originally did not have a city wall, but Xiao Heng made one - a circle of modern city walls was built on the periphery of the main urban area of Sunshine City in Jiangbei, and the wall was not placed with ancient beacons and crossbow arrows, but all kinds of modern weapons and equipment. This kind of defense has long been eliminated in modern warfare – the Maginot Line in World War II is a living example.

But this is not the case now. The skies have been dominated by dangerous barriers, and the low-altitude areas are dominated by helicopter gunships. Helicopter gunships may be an advantageous killer against ground targets, but there are many more ways to shoot them down from low altitudes. They don't have to be too high, they don't have the speed of fighter jets, so the situation of warfare has become a peculiar form – humans can use electricity, but air superiority is no longer the decisive factor in the success or failure of a small war.

Yuzhou is mountainous, and a wide straight continent stretches into the distance, and by the end it has become high, as if it is hanging in the air. Li Zhen was sitting in the car, and next to him was Zhu Dibang. He listened to the royal descendant recount his plan in detail for half an hour, and then fell silent for a moment.

Zhu Dipang looked a little apprehensive, obviously not wanting his first offer as a "strategist" to be denied by this general.

But after more than ten seconds, Li Zhen smiled slightly: "Okay." That's it. ”

Zhu Di Pang breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you have anything else to add?" ”

Li Zhen shook his head: "Just follow what you say." ”

He turned his head to look at Zhu Dipong, and patted the gun that was lying across his knee again: "Everything is fine." ”

Then he leaned back in his seat, a little tired. A low cough.

Outside, it was a dark mountain, and only sporadic lights flickered in the darkness, like ghost fires.

Zhu Dipong blinked under the yellowish light in the car, hesitated for a moment and asked, "...... Not feeling well? ”

Li Zhen's face changed, but he immediately regained his composure.

"How so?" He smiled, "I haven't tasted sick in years. ”

Zhu Dibang looked at his face again and nodded: "That's good." ”

The vehicle is moving and the body is slightly vibrating. More than two minutes later, Li Zhen coughed again.

Zhu Dipong looked at him, and stopped talking. But he still spoke: "General." In fact...... We can put this back on for a week or two. Take advantage of this time to rest and recharge—"

"I can't make it clear enough?!" Li Zhen suddenly started a fire. He jerked his head to look at Zhu Dipong, "Or do you think there's something wrong with me?" ”

Since the two met, it seemed to be the first time that Li Zhen had such an attack. His eyes flashed with anger of unknown meaning. Sit up straight like a javelin and purse your lips. Stared straight at Zhu Dipang.

The major was taken aback by his anger, and subconsciously leaned to the side and raised his hand: "No, no...... I was just...... Well, since you say so. I'll just ask no more. ”

Li Zhen still looked at him for a while. I barely turned my head. He sat up straight with a blank face.

He sat upright, leaning back in his chair, staring ahead and refusing to say a word.

And Zhu Dipong only occasionally glanced at his face with his peripheral vision. Look at the gun in his hand.

After another twenty minutes, the sky ahead grew brighter. A dark wall appeared on the horizon in the distance, and behind the wall was a bustling city—so many tall buildings rising into the sky. The lights and neon lights on the high-rise buildings look like they were in the world six years ago.

Even Li Zhen, who had been expressionless, couldn't help but lean forward slightly and look over with wide eyes.

In the past, it was a very common sight - Binh Duong was more prosperous at night.

But it was the first time in six years that he had seen such a scene again—the scene before it had happened. The bustling night, the endless flow of vehicles and people, the lights are bright and green, and the drunken gold is fascinated. Countless people have admired this scene and countless people have spurned this scene, but no matter what kind of people they used to be, they can only sigh and want to go back in time and return to the era when they knew nothing about everything and were impetuous.

Zhu Dipong became a little nervous. He lowered the window and poked his head out to look ahead—the intersection ahead was a barricade.

But now there is another group of people in front of the barricades. There were not only military personnel, but many more people in civilian clothes. The road in the middle was out of the way, and the men stood on either side of the road, looking at the convoy with different faces.

He glanced at it, then retracted his head and said to Li Zhen: "General, almost all the people are here." ”

He pointed to those people and introduced them to Li Zhen one by one, and finally asked, "Do you want to get out of the car and meet them?" ”

The convoy slowed down and prepared to enter the city. The crowd was getting closer, and at its closest, the occasional conversation could almost be heard. Li Zhen looked out of the car window and shook his head slightly: "No, drive in." You tell them first – I'll give you time. When the matter is done, I will see them again. ”

He turned his head and smiled faintly at Zhu Dipong again: "In order to cultivate the anger in their hearts." ”

Zhu Dibang frowned and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”

The convoy kicked up a slight cloud of smoke and drove straight over.

The crowd, which had had been a few occasional whispers, fell silent for a moment. No one even tried to cover their mouth and nose to block the smoke that was being raised.

After a long time, someone snorted: "Old Shi, he is menacing." ”

The man known as "Old Stone" was an old man with gray hair. And the title "Lao Shi" seems to be a "character", and it seems that this person's surname is "Shi".

Lao Shi shook his head slightly, revealing a gentle smile in the darkness: "The Great King Banner of the Transformation of the City Head - no matter how turbulent it is, it is just one person." ”

This sentence seemed to win the hearts of the people, and the original indignant expressions of the crowd gradually became softened. Lao Shi waved his hand: "Prepare well." It is said that it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, but I think it is also up to people to make things happen - since he is here, we will let him know the truth...... What is called a raptor crossing the river. ”

A few words seem to have reinvigorated the "morale" of these people. Lao Shi squinted his eyes again at the convoy that had entered the city and was gradually moving away, and lowered his eyes.

Xiao Heng's "General's Mansion" used to be the seat of the district government of Jiangbei District. However, the surrounding buildings have been demolished for now, leaving only one building that looks quite tall and imposing - like most government offices in the Empire, with hanging cornices, blue-black glazed tiles, vermilion gates with gold and copper nails, and two stone lions at the door.

It's 9:20 p.m. But the lights in the "General's Palace" were bright.

A year or two earlier, it had become Xiao Heng's de facto dictatorial center, so most of the office staff of the military and political departments were concentrated here, and no one left at this moment. In any case, a new "master" is about to be ushered in, and most people hope to leave a good impression on this "General Lee".

But what he didn't expect was that Li Zhen's first order after arriving was that all these people "got off work", and none of them were seen.

"Off duty" instead of "laid-off" is also good news.

Zhu Dibang followed Li Zhen. When he got here, he seemed a little powerless - because even in the past, he was not Xiao Heng's henchman, and many things in the mansion were not familiar. All he could do was to point out Xiao Heng's offices to Li Zhen, and then explain some unimportant details.

In the end, Li Zhen asked him to stay here tonight to "sleep" and continue the conversation tomorrow.

Then he went up to the third floor alone.

There is an infirmary on the third floor, which is nominally a public service unit in this office building, but it is actually Xiao Heng's "private hospital".

Zhu Dipang knew the weight of Zhang Jian and Pang Feihong in Li Zhenxin, and sent both of them here.

Originally, Li Zhen was worried about the poor medical equipment here, but when he really arrived at this so-called "infirmary", he found that it was better called "hospital" than "room".

It occupies a considerable area, occupying almost half of the third floor. The white lights were still lit inside, and there were figures walking back and forth.

Li Zhen gently pushed the door open.

To the left of the door is a front desk, behind which is a young girl in uniform who looks like a medic sitting. She glanced up at Li Zhen, was slightly stunned, and her eyes fell on the "pole" in his hand again. Then she stood up and asked somewhat absent-mindedly, "What to do?" This is General Xiao......"

She paused, as if remembering that the so-called General Xiao had died, so she was a little speechless for a while.

Li Zhen didn't speak, looked at her, and coughed slightly.

The girl sighed and shrugged, "Come on, there's no General Xiao anymore." Are you coming to see a doctor? Now the doctor is busy. What department are you from? ”

Li Zhen smiled: "I'm new here." I'm here to see a friend - Zhang Jian and Pang Feihong? ”

The girl's face showed a little surprise, and she glanced at him and lowered her head and clicked a few times on the computer in front of her: "Zhang Jian, Pang Feihong." Well, it's all here, but ......"

She knew the two people she had just sent - but only Pang Feihong was familiar.

The clerk of the Blue and White Club in Yuzhou controls the "door". Almost everyone in the General's Mansion knew about this. However, Zhang Jian was only a lieutenant officer, and few people knew about him. But these two people were sent to the infirmary together today, and it seems that they have both become unbelievable big people overnight. Almost all of the experienced and excellent doctors from various hospitals gathered together to examine their conditions, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhang Jian's condition was somewhat serious, but not life-threatening. And Pang Feihong, it was only a slight concussion.

The first watch, there are 6 more today. (To be continued......)
