After Chu He returned to the customs, the first thing he did was to take Jiang Wuxian and go to see Chen Shi together, and inform the general of the cooperation reached between this trip to Linchang and Zhou Shikai.

The war is approaching, and Chen Shi seems to have once again changed back to the powerful general he was at the beginning, and the leisurely semi-retirement state has been swept away, replaced by lean and tough.

But Chu He could feel that Chen Shi at this time already had some taste of the last days of a hero, and the hardness he showed was undoubtedly strong in order to boost the morale of the Liangzhou army.

It doesn't sound good to say that it is strong outside and dry in the middle, but there is more than enough heart and not enough strength, and there is something after all.

The emergency meeting between the three of them was still in Chen Shi's small study.

At this time, the general of Liangzhou, no matter where he went, was covered with armor, not only to set an example for the whole army, but also to make people nervous.

After all, it was Han Jun, the king of Chi, who came this time, not Zhou Shikai's straw bag.

In the study, Chu He told Chen Shi all the content of his cooperation with Zhou Shikai, including the military expenses of 10 million taels.

But he didn't say anything about the assassination in the Rouge Lake Painting Boat, because he felt that it was nothing to say, and at his status, it was normal to meet a killer assassin two times in three days.

As for whether Qiao Han was the killer of the North Vietnamese Drizzle Tower, or the person of the Ming King Zhou Shikai, it was not so important to Chu He, not to mention that they also helped him step into the Five Realms.

Although Chu He's cultivation is still not top-notch, don't forget, he has only been in this world for more than half a year.

People like Xu Conghu and Di Yansheng have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and there is no comparison between them.

Chu He now wants to focus all his energy on Han Jun, the king of Chi, which is also the theme of this small-scale meeting in Chen Shi's study today.

"Zhou Shikai is credible?" This was the only question that Chen Shi raised after listening to Chu He's report.

Chu He groaned slightly, knowing that at this juncture, it was not the time to say that he had to give his own judgment.

Seeing Chu He frowning and thinking silently, Jiang Wuxian wanted to speak, but was stopped by Chen Shi raising his hand.

"I just want to listen to my godson's judgment, is it possible that Zhou Shikai is cheating us, and together with that King Chi, he is playing tricks on us. Is it possible that the 10 million taels of silver are bait, hooking us into the trap? ”

Jiang Wuxian was also speechless when Chen Shi asked these words. Indeed, before a big war, you must be extremely careful when making deals with the enemy. If you fall for the tricks of the Sheng army, it is very likely to fall into a situation from which you will never recover.

Now, Chen Shi just wants to listen to Chu He's judgment, and let this second person in Liangzhou, who is now nominally and substantially the second person, decide whether to cooperate with Zhou Shikai.

And now what Chu He wants to determine is nothing else, that is, how high Zhou Yan's status in Zhou Shikai's mind can be. The old Zhou family, who is not worthy of generations of hairpins, risked the great crime of treason to join forces with them.

The scene of meeting Zhou Shikai twice began to flash in Chu He's mind like a movie clip, including every word, every action, and even every subtle expression he said.

In the end, Chu He came to the conclusion that at least in this matter, Zhou Shikai did not deceive himself.

Chu He took a deep breath and said, "General, I can assert that Zhou Shikai did not lie to us, and we can cooperate with him cautiously in this upcoming battle." If something goes wrong, then all the responsibility and consequences will be ...... by me."

"Oops, hey." Chen Shi hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt Chu He's words, "Just say your judgment, of course, the final military order will be issued by me." As for what the consequences will not be, I am a general, and if there is any problem in this war, the responsibility should be mine, and you kid can't rob it if you want to. ”

Seeing that Chen Shi took all the consequences on himself, Chu He was busy and wanted to say anything more, but was blocked back by Chen Shi.

"What? In a hurry? Your kid just became the chief soldier of Liangzhou, and he is also the leader of the army, and now you want to grab Lao Tzu's position? I advise you, let's wait until this big war is over. ”

Chu He looked at Chen Shi, who was a little childish, and couldn't say anything after all.

Chen Shi really treats Chu He as a son, not just talking. Just like Yan Chen, he is also closer to him than his own brother.

He sometimes thinks that after crossing into this world, he met this father and son, who are as attached to the iron ring on his finger that cannot be taken off.

In a few words, the general direction and policy of how to deal with Zhou Shikai have been decided.

Although Jiang Wuxian was also present, he basically didn't say a word, and he also took on a big task, that is, to arrange for the 10 million taels of military expenses sent by Zhou Shikai.

Chen Shi went out of the house with the two of them, and he was going to patrol the camp.

The old eighth battalion doesn't have to worry about Chen Shi, those soldiers are all brave, and the big war is approaching for them, only excitement, not a trace of fear of war.

However, for the new battalion of the 16th National Congress, Chen Shi still has to go around often, to give confidence to those new and old soldiers, and to make the mobilization work of the independent generals easier.

The old housekeeper Hu Bai had already led the general's horse and stood outside waiting, Chen Shi jumped up, his body was still vigorous.

"That's the matter is decided, it's up to your Military Strategy Department to handle it, if you need my help to coordinate, don't be polite."

After speaking, Chen Shi turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of the camp, and a dozen or so elite cavalry guards immediately followed.

Chu He and the two of them also found two horses and went to the military strategy.

There are few pedestrians on the road, and there is indeed a tense atmosphere before the war, and there is a posture of mountain rain and wind full of buildings.

And now the Military Strategy Department has completely become a vegetable market, everyone is busy with their feet to the sky, the noise is loud, and if they want to find someone to ask a few words, they have to shout at the top of their voices.

When Chu He saw this scene, he threw Jiang Wuxian there, and ran away with oil under his feet.

Half a month later.

The cold wind in Dachong Pass became more and more biting, and a letter finally came from Zhou Shikai's side.

The matter of military spending was settled a week ago.

The seven million taels of silver prepared by Zhou Shikai, as well as the yuan stone equivalent to three million, were quietly sent to a dense forest in Hegu Road, and Jiang Wuxian sent people back to Dachong Pass.

And the information he sent this time is the next move of the Chi Wang Army.

Han Jun had already met with Zhou Shikai and expressed his willingness to resume the battle, asking the Eastern Frontier Army to fully cooperate.

The camp site of the Chiwang army has also been selected, and five large camps have been set up in the Spring Valley Plain of Hegu Road, plotting to reach Dachong Pass 200 miles away.

After Chu He took the information to Chen Shi, this resolute general immediately sent an order to convene the highest military and political meeting of the Liang army.

The rumors of the Great Chung Pass have become even tighter.
