A few days after Zou Bao'er's confinement was completed, he returned to Liucheng with Guo Yixuan. Sitting in the car, she thought of Leng Chuxian's tragic death again, and she was in pain, and she didn't talk much along the way.

Back at the Kuang family, the people saw the young grandmother come back, and hugged the young master Sun who had just been full moon, and they all cried with joy. Thinking of the dead again, he couldn't help but sigh: "If the master and the young lady were still there, how good it would be!" ”

These words made Zou Baoer's tears that she could not hold back burst out of her eyes again. Guo Yixuan was worried that his wife was too sad, so he signaled everyone not to mention it again.

In addition, Yixuan has already invited a wet nurse, so that as soon as his wife is out of confinement, the child will be taken care of by the wet nurse, and she can take care of her body with peace of mind.

At night, Zou Baoer lay on the bed and looked at the old photo repeatedly, still without saying a word, and Yixuan reached out to take her into his arms.

Zou Bao'er said faintly: "You say, if we don't ask Chu Xian to come to Guicheng, won't this kind of thing happen?" ”

Guo Yixuan heard that she wanted to blame all the blame on herself, and hurriedly said: "Their assassination of Chen Zui was premeditated, how can you think so?" ”

Zou Bao'er said: "That's true, but if they don't come to Guicheng, there will be people to escort them back to Jingu, and they won't be fine." ”

Guo Yixuan hugged her tightly and told her: "The two warlords of Song and Bai have long regarded Chen Zui as a thorn in their side, even if there is no such time, they will still try their best to get rid of Chen Zui, so that the Xiao Gang will be in chaos and unable to form an alliance with Li Chengjing, do you understand?" ”

Zou Baoer was tired and sleepy, hugged her husband tightly, and fell asleep slowly......

After going home for two days, the husband and wife went to the cemetery together to worship early on the morning of the third day.

Zou Baoer presented 一️a bouquet of chrysanthemums to her, and then knelt down, tears falling decisively: "Chu Xian, my good sister, my sister-in-law has come to see you, I shouldn't have let you come to Guicheng to see me, otherwise you wouldn't have died, it's all sister-in-law's fault." Dad entrusted the Kuang family to me before he died, but I couldn't take care of you, I'm even more sorry Dad, I'm sorry for the Kuang family......" Excited, my body was shaky.

Guo Yixuan stretched out his hand to support him, and choked up: "Hurry up, these are not your fault, Dad and Chu Xian will definitely understand the spirit in the sky, they won't blame you, and they don't want to see you like this." ”

"Bao'er, Gongzi is right, it's not you, it's not you, it's Bai Jingyi and Song Jiujue who should be damned."

Zou Bao'er's heart froze, she stopped crying, and looked behind her, Li Chengjing walked over with a bouquet of chrysanthemums in her hand. walked to Leng Chuxian's tombstone and bowed, and also put the chrysanthemum in front of the tombstone, "Chuxian, I'm coming to see you." ”

Zou Bao'er was puzzled: "Chengjing, why are you here?" Then he looked at the husband on the side and smiled at Li Chengjing, obviously he knew that Li Chengjing would come.

Guo Yixuan admitted: "It was I who sent a telegram inviting the commander-in-chief to come. ”

"You invited Cheng Jing here?"

"Because I'm going to work with the Commander-in-Chief." He said to Li Chengjing again: "Commander-in-chief, I heard that your finances are tight now, and it is even difficult to maintain the salaries of the officers and men of the three armed forces, yes or no?" ”

Li Chengjing confessed: "Gongzi is right, after the plague, the finances cannot make ends meet, and it is precisely because of this that our Li Jiajun has fallen into a passive situation. ”

Guo Yixuan said: "The purpose of inviting the commander-in-chief to come today, the commander-in-chief is a smart person, and he should know that as long as the commander-in-chief can avenge Chu Xian, my family is willing to fully support the commander-in-chief." ”

Li Chengjing said gloomily: "Chu Xian's death was caused by me in the final analysis, and I should have avenged her." It's just that with my current situation, at most I can regain lost ground, and it will not be easy to defeat the second warlord. ”

Guo Yixuan said: "The commander-in-chief uses soldiers like a god, and the world knows that the war is unfavorable now, just because of insufficient military salaries, it is not a crime of war." As long as the military salary is sufficient, I believe that the commander-in-chief will definitely be able to defeat the two lords of Song and Bai in one fell swoop. ”

Li Chengjing thought for a while and blurted out: "One and a half million, as long as Gongzi Guo is willing to support one and a half million oceans, my Li family's army is bound to go north and fight the second warlord to the death." ”

Guo Yixuan did not hesitate, "Okay, a word is decided, I will gather the ocean as soon as possible, I hope the commander-in-chief will not disappoint me." ”

Li Chengjing resolutely said: "I swear here today that I will definitely take the heads of Bai Jingyi and Song Jiujue to pay tribute to the spirit of the first envy in the sky." ”

The two shook hands as a formal cooperation.

When she returned home, Zou Baoer was a little unhappy and asked him: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter in advance, do you still think that I am your wife and a member of the Guo family?" ”

Guo Yixuan patiently explained: "When the eldest brother told me the truth about Chu Xian's murder, I was determined to avenge Chu Xian at that time. But the eldest brother said that we are the people, and no matter how rich we are, we can't deal with a warlord.

The disaster in South China greatly weakened the strength of the Li family's army, and the eldest brother persuaded me to support Li Chengjing, because looking around the world, only Li Chengjing was really capable and willing to avenge Chu Xian.

I hesitated, but I also thought about it, if I wanted revenge, there really was no second way other than that, so I agreed. Before we returned, my eldest brother sent a telegram to Li Chengjing in my name. The reason why I didn't tell you in advance was because I didn't want you to have too many emotions and affect your body. ”

Zou Bao'er had no reason to be unhappy, and she didn't want to give in, and said: "You listen to my eldest brother more than my own sister." ”

Guo Yixuan hugged her and said with a smile: "Who asked me to marry you, love the house and Wu, Baoyi is my eldest brother." ”

After noon, Li Chengjing came to Kuangfu, purely as a friend to visit Zou Bao'er's mother and son.

She gave the child a long-lived rich lock made of sterling silver, and when she picked up the child and watched him make a sound in her arms, she gave birth to a feeling of love. Yes, this should be the innate maternal nature of women as the old saying goes, and I feel a little sad that I can't really experience it in my life.

"By the way, what's the child's name?"

"Inheritance, taking the meaning of inheritance and development, is the first envy." Zou Baoer said.

Li Chengjing only smiled, "Good name." ”

After a while, the good child cried for some reason, and Li Chengjing was completely inexperienced, so she hurriedly returned the child to Zou Baoer.

Zou Bao'er took the child unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, the child is hungry." Patting the child's back, "Cheng Yang doesn't cry, and there will be milk to drink immediately." Then the nurse outside the door came in, Zou Baoer told the nurse a few words, and the nurse took the child out to breastfeed.

Li Chengjing saw that her mother was very competent and happy, so she had nothing to worry about, so she got up and said goodbye. Zou Bao'er didn't keep her, and the two cherished each other.

Before leaving, Li Chengjing came to say goodbye to Leng Chuxian again, "Chuxian, Chen Zui is now in my army, don't worry, I will protect him, I won't let him have anything to do, you bless us in the spirit of heaven to avenge you as soon as possible." After saying that, he bowed and left.

Back to Wenqiong, Li Chengjing summoned the commanders and elaborated on the cooperation with Guo Yixuan. All the commanders cheered loudly, believing that everything was in place, and they should once again plan to wave their troops to defeat the two lords. ”

Li Chengjing asked the commanders.

After a while, Jiang Ting stood up, "Commander-in-chief, my subordinates think that the first thing is to annihilate the enemy army on the other side of the Qiongjiang River first, and then lead the army to the battle. ”

Li Chengjing nodded: "What Commander Jiang said is exactly what I want. ”

Jiang Ting said: "The naval army has won a new victory, and the morale is flourishing, but the enemy army has not been able to cross the river for a long time, and the sharpness has been reduced. ”

Li Chengjing was overjoyed, "Does Commander Jiang already have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Since the last time, Song Bai's army launched two more attacks, but under the resistance of Commander Jiang, both ended in failure. However, Commander Jiang realized that he could no longer defend so passively, so he summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures.

At the beginning of the meeting, the opinions of the generals were consistent with Commander Jiang's, advocating an attack.

After several days of continuous discussion, they finalized the policy: send 20,000 sailors to march in three directions on the front, and send 30,000 sailors to march in a line on the right flank. The reason why Commander Jiang made this arrangement was to first concentrate the strongest firepower to crush the enemy army on the right flank, and then go down the river from the right flank to flank the enemy army with the three-way water army, and send another 10,000 water army to sit in the rear so that they could support at any time.

Chen Zui asked to join the right flank battle, but was rejected by Commander Jiang, who asked him to sit in the rear to support.

This is not the first time that Commander Jiang has vetoed Chen Zui's request.

When the enemy attacked twice, Chen Zui invited Ying to join the front-line battle, but both times Commander Jiang asked Chen Zui to accompany him to supervise the battle. In addition, Chen Zui proposed that Starry Night Cross go downstream to explore the enemy's virtual and real movements, increase the bargaining chips for future counterattacks, and asked to cross the river, but Commander Jiang accepted his advice but did not let him participate in the operation.

Plus this time, Chen Zui couldn't hold back any longer, and found an opportunity to ask Commander Jiang in person, obviously accepting his opinion, why did he veto all his requests to participate in the action several times.

The reason given by Commander Jiang was that each department and department had its own responsibilities, and the chief of staff was already responsible for proposing and supervising, and it was not improper for him to make such an arrangement.

Of course, Chen Zui didn't believe it, and said bluntly that at the moment of the great enemy, the officers and men of the three armies should make the best use of them, rather than stick to the rules. He asked himself that he was capable of contributing to the war effort and that he should be treated fairly. If Commander Jiang insists on not allowing it, then he can only report to the higher level and ask the commander-in-chief to adjudicate.

Commander Jiang had to tell him that it was the commander-in-chief's order to give him not to let him take the lead, and as for why he did this, he asked Chen Zui to think about it himself.

Chen Zui thought for a moment and realized that Li Chengjing was doing this just to protect him.

Chen was depressed: If this is the case, then what is he doing here, it is better to go back to the countryside and wait for Li Chengjing to bring back the heads of Song Bai and the others......

Commander Jiang said the policy, and the other commanders agreed, and Li Chengjing authorized Commander Jiang to take full control of the war, and he could make his own decisions about everything big and small.

Commander Jiang received the order and decided to go to battle in five days.
