The heads of Gu Qingshan and Si Tao were tied with ropes and hung above the main gate of Dachong Pass.

When a gust of wind blows, the two heads rise with the wind, sometimes colliding together.

Now under the main city gate, it has become the most prosperous place in Dachong Pass, and the crowd is bustling, basically the people who come to join in the fun.

There are many street vendors who have moved their stalls here, some sell sugar gourds, some steamed buns, and some paint portraits, and the city gate has become a busy market.

Bolting these two heads to show off the public is a show off of martial arts, so the Liang army has not taken action to deal with the chaos here for the time being.

After the old men finished eating, they did not go to the Jinshui River for a walk, but gathered at the city gate, looking at the two heads fluttering in the wind and pointing.

Half of the old men in Dachong Pass are children and grandchildren who are on errands in the Liang army, and they have settled in Dachong Pass as family members. The other half are veterans who have retired from the army, reluctant to leave here, and don't know where else to go without it.

There is a rule in the Liang Army, that is, all veterans who have retired from the army can keep their sabers and do not have to hand them in.

So sometimes when walking in Dachong Pass, you can still see a lot of old men with gray hair and stooping on their backs, carrying a saber, walking proudly on the avenue.

Sometimes these veterans see the eggs of the new recruits in the army, and they will go up to educate them in a fake way, but what they say is nothing more than to listen to the words of the general, which is not nutritious.

The old people of Dachong Pass got together and didn't talk about anything else, only chatting about the situation on the battlefield between the two countries. Originally, the Battle of Hegudao didn't start this time, and their topics were much less, and the heads of two big men of the Sheng Army were suddenly hung up, which made them extremely excited.

"Lao Zhang, have you heard? These two people are our little general Chu He, who ran hundreds of miles, went deep into the enemy camp, and beheaded in the midst of ten thousand troops, they are really heroes and teenagers since ancient times! ”

"Come on, you, how did I hear that this is General Xu Conghu's hand?"

"Hahaha, Lao Zhang, although your son is on an errand in the Hundred Tigers Camp, you can't talk nonsense with your eyes open, what have you General Xu been cleaned up by our Chu Sizuo? I heard that it seems to have just eased up? How could he run to Jingqi Road? ”

At this time, another old man came over, "I have inside information here, I must be sure!" ”

"Talk about it, talk about it!"

"I heard, it's our Chu Sizuo, who united with General Di of the White Feather Battalion, led a hundred elites, sneaked to their Linchang City, ambushed the second elder of the Eastern Army, and also cut down the commander of the Great Inner by the way."

"That's right! I said that this must be Chu Sizuo's handiwork, and Lao Zhang didn't say that it had anything to do with Xu Conghu. Tell me, if you really let the surnamed Xu be in charge in the future, then we can still have a good life like now? I guess we're going to have to carry the knife again and follow him to the west to die! ”

Hearing this, the old men around them nodded in agreement, they had lived so many peaceful days under Chen Shizhi, and they really didn't want the radical Xu Conghu to take over.

Of course, all this is thanks to Wang Du's propaganda work.

In the past two or three months, Wang Fatzi has done propaganda for the Chu River through various channels in Dachongguan and even other places in Liangzhou, creating a glorious image of might, wisdom, atmosphere, and benevolence.

At the same time, he intentionally or unintentionally spread some of Xu Conghu's murderous past, which contrasted sharply with the positive image of Chu He.

Now most of the grassroots soldiers of the Liang Army, and even the ordinary people of Dachong Pass, have begun to think that Chu He is the perfect successor to the great general Chen Shi.

Especially this beheading operation, under Wang Du's deliberate guidance and publicity, almost all of this great credit was counted on Chu He's head.

In fact, after they returned to the pass in triumph, Chu He reported the complete story of this battle to Chen Shi in detail, and clearly stated that half of the credit should be divided to Xu Conghu.

It's a pity that under Wang Du's series of black-box operations, when people talk about this now, most of them praise Chu Sizuo's clever calculation, courage and invincibility, and few people will mention how Xu Conghu is.

For this matter, Jiang Wuxian is extremely respectful, and Chu He did not stop it.

Because he knows that this is called a war of public opinion.

The war of public opinion is a part of the struggle, and it is a very important part, and there are even some wars that are the war of public opinion.

This kind of war is not smoky, but it is also deadly.

Although the two of them have almost become half friends now, if Xu Conghu will fall under this public opinion war, then Chu He will not have any thoughts in his heart.

Because the battle for their successor is not a child's house, there is only one rule, that is, the winner is king.

In fact, Chu He didn't pay much attention to these things, and let Jiang Wuxian and Wang Du toss them. After returning to the level, he once again devoted his energy to cultivation, and now he felt that his cultivation realm was not far from the Five Realms, and the liquid Yuan Force in the Qi Mansion had a tendency to form a vortex.

Of course, something happened during this time.

The Liangzhou General's Mansion asked for merit for Chu He and Xu Conghu, and he had been sent to the capital quickly. Also sent was the resignation letter of Cui Qingshan, the chief soldier of Liangzhou, and the handwritten letter from him to recommend Chu He, the secretary of the military strategy department, as the new chief soldier of Liangzhou.

The Liang army has officially begun to enter the "re-election" process, and now it depends on the reaction of the imperial court.

On this day, Chu He was practicing knives in the courtyard, Liang Yi, who had already shown his feelings slightly, was sitting on a chair, and Yan Chen was standing next to her with filial piety.

"Xiaohe, your sword technique is getting better and better now, and it feels much stronger than your brother Chen." Liang Yi said with a smile.

Yan Chen pursed his lips, but he didn't dare to refute it.

In fact, Liang Yi's words are not unreasonable, Yan Chen's practice has been abandoned for a long time, and a few days ago, he walked two seven-step piles when he had nothing to do, but it turned out to be loose and collapsed, and there were even faint signs of falling.

This made Chu He quite worried, but Yan Chen didn't care, saying that he was returning to the basics, and maybe he would directly break through the mountain realm in the future.

"Sister-in-law, when I practice swords, you can come out and take a look, it will definitely be good for my eldest nephew to practice martial arts in the future. If he is taught by his father, he may be led astray. ”

Yan Chen suddenly spat him, "I'm bah!" How do you know if it's a nephew and not a niece? Even if he is a boy, Lao Tzu does not teach him to practice martial arts, but he still learns a craft and works hard. ”

At this time, Jiang Wuxian rushed into the courtyard in a panic, and Chu He felt as if he hadn't seen him for several days.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Wuxian mysteriously ran to Chu He's side and whispered, "The emperor's people want to see you." ”
