Before I knew it, three months had passed since the Battle of the Four Square Towers.

Dachong Pass, it's autumn, and there are golden fallen leaves everywhere.

Chu He lived in seclusion during this time, and he did not get carried away because of the famous battle.

Regarding Chu He's true cultivation and strength, there are several versions circulating within the Liang army, and the most convincing is that he used a certain method to deliberately lower the realm he appeared, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

In the mysterious battle in Sifanglou, except for the two sides, only Jiang Wuxian, Wang Du and Shazhuang Tuo saw half of the process.

Jiang Wuxian and Wang Du were naturally tight-lipped, and they didn't know anyone who asked.

Shazhuang Tuo, on the other hand, is more direct, and whoever asks him about it, he will beat him.

As for Xu Conghu, it is said that he has recovered from his serious injuries.

Since he was able to get out of bed and walk, he left the barracks and returned to Xufu, and since then he has been closed to guests, even the closest Shazhuang Tuo has not been seen.

No matter how exaggerated the rumors outside were, Xu Conghu did not make any response.

People began to realize that the unruly and domineering Xu Conghu in the past was really dead.

The current new faction of the Liang Army has completely existed in name only.

Di Yansheng, the former general of the new school, a loyal follower of Xu Conghu, and the general of the Baiyu camp, was seen drinking and eating with Wang Minglun in a restaurant in Dachongguan, which inevitably made people think about it.

Another face figure of the new faction, He Jun, the head of the daily camp, was not very active, although he did not show any willingness to preside over the new faction, but he also did not have contact with the people of the Chu River faction.

According to the analysis of people with good deeds, the reason why He Jun is still holding face now is mainly because of Jiang Wuji's existence.

He Jun's younger brother He Cong is the commander of the Xinmu Battalion, that is, the recruit battalion where Yan Chen was before.

A series of things that happened in Qushui County have long been reviewed clearly, and most of the high-level officials of the Liang Army know that although the credit is finally recorded on the head of Chu He, it is Jiang Wuzhi's handwriting.

He Cong's death, as well as the demise of Xin Muying, were largely counted on Jiang Wuxian's head.

Therefore, He Jun was very hostile to this former director of the Military Strategy Department.

Di Yansheng showed goodwill, He Jun pretended to be dead, and most people in the Liang army thought that it was only a matter of time before the Liang army changed its surname to Chu.

Now that many speculators have begun to shout that they want to die for the Chu River, Jiang Wuxian specially explained to Wang Du, these people can be used, but they cannot be reused.

If you want to say who is the busiest these days, it must be Wang Du.

He has almost left the affairs of the Military Strategy Department behind, and he has no time to take care of it, anyway, Jiang Wuxian is there to preside over the overall situation, and he is not like him.

Wang Du rented a storefront only two streets away from the general's mansion and opened his office.

All those who wanted to bow down under the command of Chu He came here to hand over the post, regardless of the level of the official position, Wang Du treated them all equally and received them warmly.

Wang Fatzi, who is well versed in human feelings, also set a rule, that is, he will not accept the benefits of a penny of silver, and everything will be done for Chu Sizuo.

The fame here is getting bigger and bigger, and it has begun to be called the Little General's Mansion, and Wang Du has naturally become the spokesperson of the Little General.

The great general Chen Shi, the major general Yan Chen, and the small general Chu He.

But Chu He was obviously very angry with this nickname, and he scolded Wang Du for the first time.

"Little General? How small is Lao Tzu? You explain it to me! ”

This frightened Wang Du, and he didn't dare to go to the general's mansion for several days.

Since the Battle of the Sifang Building, Chen Shi has not shown up, and it seems that he is determined to make trouble with them.

On this day, Chu He, Yan Chen, and Jiang Wuxian made an appointment to go out for a walk together.

Recently, the three of them have been very busy, and Jiang Wuxian has been busy with various chores, sometimes staying in the Military Strategy Division for several days.

Chu He was concentrating on cultivation day and night, while Yan Chen was busy with Liang Yi.

Don't get me wrong, it's busy with her stomach.

Liang Yi is pregnant.

Recently, Liang Yi's body has been uncomfortable, what to eat and vomit, and finally it was Aunt Ma who said whether she was pregnant or not, and everyone reacted.

Yan Chen invited several Lang Zhong in one go, all of whom were well-known players in Dachong Pass.

They unanimously determined that Liang Yi was undoubtedly pregnant.

Chu He asked if he wanted to inform Chen Shi, but Yan Chen refused, he said that Hu Bai would definitely go to tell him if he knew about it, and if the old man wanted to see it, he would naturally come out.

Today, the trio of Qushui finally had some time, so they left the General's Mansion together and walked all the way to the Jinshui River.

The Jinshui River is the mother river of Dachongguan and the two cities behind it, starting from the Canglan Mountains and flowing all the way to the center of Liangzhou.

The people of Liangzhou have used this river to irrigate countless farmlands and feed countless generations.

This Jinshui River is extremely clear, especially the sunshine at dusk sprinkles on the water surface, and the golden light is sparkling, hence the name Jinshui River.

On the bank of the Jinshui River, which flows through Dachong Pass, is a fine white sandstone beach, sparsely populated, so the three of them chose this place to chat.

There is a row of big trees that the Chu River can't name on the river beach, and the golden fallen leaves are sprinkled on the surface of the river, spreading a full layer, drifting with the waves, which is more in line with the word "golden water".

Recently, the trio who have been under a lot of pressure have gotten together, and the topic is mainly around whether the child in Liang Yi's belly is male or female, what is the name of the boy, and what is the name of the girl.

But as we chatted, the topic began to deviate, and finally we got down to business.

"Brother Chu, do you know what joints we need to open up if we want to successfully take over the Liang Army?"

When Yan Chen heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and looked into the distance in boredom.

Chu He thought for a while and said, "The main thing within the Liang army is to get the approval of the general, and the second is to win the support of the new faction. Otherwise, even if he really became the boss of the Liang Army, he would only be in charge of a divided Liang Army. ”

Jiang Wuxian nodded, "What about the outside of the Liang Army?" ”

Chu He didn't think about it this time, so he blurted out: "Naturally, it's the imperial court." No matter how strong and independent our Liangjun is, it will be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court after all, and if you want to succeed you as the general of Liangzhou, you naturally need the emperor's nod. ”

Jiang Wuxian sighed, "Yes, the two joints inside the Liang Army, the general must have no problem, and the new faction is already a virtual appearance, so there is no need to worry." What we should consider most now is the attitude of the imperial court, and whether we can win the support of the imperial court is very important. In this regard, I will find a way, Brother Chu does not have to worry too much. ”

Chu He smiled and said, "With your old ginger's help, I don't have to worry about anything." ”

Yan Chen, who was walking aside, suddenly pursed his lips, he said that he was bored, but in fact he had been listening with his ears pricked up.

"Brother Chu, if we want to succeed smoothly, we still need one more aspect of strength."

Chu He's steps paused slightly, and he asked, "Who?" ”

"King Ming."

"Zhou Shikai?"

"Exactly, since the Battle of the River Drum Road, Zhou Shikai has contacted us countless times openly and secretly, asking for his son to be put back. Later, seeing that we didn't mean to let go, we lowered the conditions again, saying that at least let their father and son meet to make sure that Zhou Yan is still alive now. ”

"You mean, if we can get Zhou Shikai's help, we can take over the Liang Army more easily?"

"Of course."
