"You are my righteous son Chu He, right?"

When Chu He heard this, he hurriedly explained: "This is what Brother Chen said in order to deal with Shazhuang Tuo, and it can't be taken seriously. If you upset the general, the junior is willing to ask you for the guilt. ”

Chen Shi immediately retracted his smile and showed displeasure on his face, "What? You don't want to be my adopted son? ”

Chu He was suddenly a little dazed, and he didn't know what to say.

"Yan Chen bowed to you, he is now your brother-in-law, you are his brother-in-law, right?"

"Yes." Chu He hurriedly nodded and replied.

"That's right, from his point of view, you should also be my righteous son."

Chu He didn't understand the old general's meaning for a while.

Chen Shi patted him on the shoulder, "It's a small place here, let's go, accompany me to sit outside." ”

Chu He subconsciously wanted to reach out to help him, but Chen Shi waved his hand and refused.

"It's okay, I'm not that old."

In the courtyard outside Chen Shi's study, there were two small bamboo chairs, and after motioning for Chu He to sit down, he walked to the side of the room.

It turned out to be a reclaimed nursery, lush and green, with a lot of vegetables and fruits.

Chu He was too nervous when he came just now, and he didn't notice that there was such a small vegetable garden.

Chen Shi picked two persimmons, wiped them with the placket of his clothes, and then threw one to Chu He.

He tasted it himself and frowned slightly, "It's still not seasonal, it's too sour, so don't eat it." ”

Chu He smiled and took a bite, "I love to eat sour." ”

Chen Shi glanced at him, smiled a little, and walked over to him and sat down.

"After I came back, I talked with Yan Chen and Jiang Wuxian for a while, and I also communicated with Wang Minglun a few times these days. Although this is the first time we have met, I already know you very well. ”

Chu He sat up slightly straighter.

"I've heard about the blitzkrieg you proposed earlier, as well as the empty city plan later, and even the military order encryption method you made in the Military Strategy Department a while ago, I already know about it."

Chen Shi paused for a moment and continued: "To be honest, I was shocked. ”

The two of them were silent for a while, quietly feeling the cool breeze of the summer night.

"Do you know why I arranged for Yan Chen to host that night banquet?"

Chu He shook his head, this was indeed something he had not understood. Chen Shi was secretive before, and he didn't want too many people to know that he had such a son, but as soon as they came back this time, they held an old-school night banquet with great fanfare.

"Ugh." Chen Shichang sighed, "I'm just such a son, why don't I understand his thoughts, he doesn't want to take over, and I don't want to look at him uncomfortable." But ......"

"Is it because of Xu Conghu?" Chu He asked tentatively.

Chen Shi nodded and said, "That's right, in this Battle of the River Drum Road, I had a close contact with him and the Hundred Tiger Battalion again. I am also completely sure that the Liang army cannot be handed over to the child Conghu, otherwise there is only one ending, that is, hundreds of people will be displaced and their lives will be destroyed. ”

"So I sent a message to Duan Jaw, hoping to arrange such a night banquet and force Yan Chen to see his reaction. But now it seems that I really shouldn't force him, since he has the life he wants to live, let him go. ”

"I'm already very sorry for his mother, and as compensation, I can only follow him. I have been guarding Liangzhou for so many years, both physically and mentally, I am very tired, I ......"

Chen Shi seemed to have made a lot of determination, and continued: "Yan Chen said that they are going to Quanzhou to buy a house with mountains and rivers in the background, and asked me if I want to go together. I...... I promised him. ”

Chu He was shocked when he heard this, General Chen Shida actually wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown, if this news spread, I don't know how many people in Qiansheng and Sheng would not be able to sleep.

Looking at Chu He's somewhat stunned expression, Chen Shi suddenly grabbed his hand, "Good son, can you do me a favor?" ”

Although Chu He had no water in his mouth now, he still choked on it.

The dignified general of Liangzhou, now he actually calls his son with a sincere face?

Chu He looked at Chen Shi's serious appearance, and always felt that this old man didn't seem to have any good intentions, so he dug a pit somewhere and waited for him to jump in.

Chu He said vigilantly: "What's busy? ”

When Chen Shi saw that there was a play, he immediately smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just ...... Can...... Take over the stall of Liangjun? ”

"What? Isn't that a big deal? Chu He subconsciously jumped up from the bamboo chair.

"Hey, don't get excited, I mean try it, if you don't feel good at that time, you really can't compete with Xu Conghu, then we can go back."

Chen Shi persuaded Chu He and sat down.

"Old general, I ......"

"What an old general, called the father-in-law!"

"Righteousness...... Father-in-law. ”

"Okay, you go on."

"Father-in-law, although we can be regarded as godfather and son now, but we have just met, and you have decided that I can take over the Liang Army based on the blitzkrieg, empty city plan, military order encryption method or something you heard about?"

Chen Shi smiled and explained: "Of course I won't be so impulsive, this is a big deal after all, but I also have my considerations. One of the most important points is the recognition of Yan Chen and Jiang Wuxian for you. ”

"Big ...... Father-in-law, both of them are my brothers, so they will definitely praise me a little too much......"

"No, no, no, that's not the case." Chen Shi waved his hand and said: "These two people have very different personalities, my son who is not angry is extremely emotional, and Jiang Wuxi, this kid is extremely rational and incompatible by nature. It's not so easy for the two of them to recognize a person from the bottom of their hearts at the same time. ”

Chen Shi felt that his mouth was dry, so he took a bite of the persimmon and continued: "And Wang Minglun has a very high opinion of you, although that old man is not as good as Cui Qingshan in terms of qualifications, but now his status in the old school is definitely the same. In the future, if you can really take charge of the Liang Army, then the old school of the Liang Army, the most difficult group to deal with, will also be on your side. ”

Chen Shi's words were clear and reasonable, and Chu He couldn't refute them even if he wanted to.

Of course, there is no need for him to refute, because this is his ambition in the first place, and there is nothing to hide.

Chu He only realized at this time that Chen Shi's eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to Yan Chen. And their personalities seem to be similar in some ways.

For example, if they are indifferent to fame and fortune, they are simply carved out of a mold.

Chen Shi has been in charge of the Liang army for half his life, and it can be said that no one in Shengguo is in his eyes except for the emperor.

Such a character should be in love with power, and like Zhou Shikai, the king of the Ming Dynasty, he thinks about how to hereditary recklessness, so that his children and grandchildren can enjoy glory and wealth.

But looking at this one, it is obvious that all his thoughts have drifted to Quanzhou, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and he just wants to throw the big burden of Liangjun to a suitable person as soon as possible.

Chu He thought carefully for a long time, and finally spoke: "Father-in-law, I am willing to try." ”

"Good!"

Chen Shi stood up abruptly and said excitedly: "Xiaohe, early tomorrow morning, I will announce to the officials in Liangzhou that my old Chen has two sons, one is called Yan Chen and the other is Chu He!" ”

Chu He smiled a few times reluctantly, he knew that tomorrow he would be the only officially recognized righteous son of the Liangzhou general.

is about to face Xu Conghu, the new faction of the Liang Army, the imperial court, and the Shengguo.

Reefs and shoals are coming.
