There is no need for the Chen Dynasty to send people to deliberately go out to inquire about the news, on the Xianyang Street in the past two days, there will be heralds on horseback from the north from a short time.

The border of the Qin State was full of wolf smoke, and the news of the cities asking for help was so numerous that it was impossible to count.

The scale of Xirong's invasion of Qin is rare in the world.

Rao is the Qin State, who claims to be the first in the world in terms of military strength, and he almost can't stop it.

"Xiangye, you guessed it."

"The commander of the army that went north to support this time is none other than Meng Bao, the generalissimo of the Qin State!" Early in the morning, Ning Baizhi trotted over and brought the news.

The court of the Qin State officially issued a proclamation early this morning.

He appointed Meng Bao as the generalissimo who went north to fight against the army this time.

He also ordered that there should be people in military towns in various places, and there should be no mistakes if there is money to pay.

Chen Chao had expected this result, and did not show too much surprise on his face, but asked:

"When is the army tentatively scheduled to leave?"

"We'll have to wait until a few years at the earliest, and it will take some time for the army to assemble."

"Hmm."

Chen Chao nodded, and when he turned back, he almost bumped into the maid orchid who was rushing over, and the orchid turned to Chen Chaofufu, and then said:

"Chen Xiang, my general invites you to come over."

"Uh...... I still have something to do, so I won't go. ”

Chen Chao casually found a reason to refuse, he didn't want to face a foolish old man alone, it was too difficult.

Who knows, Orchid said the next moment: "My general said, if Chen Xiang doesn't go to see him, this time I go north, my general will let my second lady be the vanguard, take the lead, and take the lead in the charge." ”

Despicable and shameless, threatening me with my daughter.

Chen Chao's face was not quite right, and he sighed:

“…… The head leads the way. ”

Following the orchid to the door of the house, Chen Chao hesitated a little, stood at the door and did not go in directly.

Looking inside, in the house, Meng Wu's body had recovered well after a few days of careful recuperation, and he was able to get out of bed and walk, but his face was still a little pale.

When the Chen Dynasty came, Meng Wu was wiping his armor with his back to the Chen Dynasty, and Meng Wu's armor had been fighting with him for many years, and there were countless arrow marks and knife marks on it.

The guards had persuaded him to rebuild a new armor.

But Meng Wu was reluctant to throw away the old man.

I've been wearing this outfit all these years.

While wiping his armor and coughing, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, Meng Wucai turned his head and got up to greet him:

"Come in and sit down."

"What are you doing standing at the door?"

"Orchid, pour tea."

looked enthusiastic, which made Chen Chao uncomfortable.

After entering the house and taking a sip of tea, Chen Chao still couldn't figure out why Meng Wu was so enthusiastic.

"Changlan is a good girl, but she has suffered from a leg disease in her mother's womb since she was a child, and her life is ruined."

Following Meng Wu's gaze, Chen Chao looked out the window, from this angle, he could just see Meng Changlan in the yard, today the snow stopped, this girl came out to breathe, and was talking to Jiang Linglong, who was feeding poisonous insects in the yard, what he said, the distance was too far to hear clearly.

But looking at the expression on the face of the second daughter, I think I am already familiar with it.

"Old general, let's talk about it directly." Chen Chao spoke lightly.

Meng Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Leaning less, Meng Wu narrowed his eyes and remembered the past:

"Before the age of thirty, the old man was a civil official with a pen, there were too many generals surnamed Meng in the Qin State, not bad for the old man, the old man started from a small official, climbed up step by step, and finally went to Xianyang and entered the center. But because of someone's sentence, the children of the Mengshi clan only have military generals with swords, and there are no civil officials with pens, and the old man was demoted from Xianyang. ”

The old man was not angry, but he was helpless. Two years later, the old man finally saw the opportunity to prove himself again, that year Rong Di was just like this year, with the strength of the whole country to storm the border of our Qin State, those generals were frightened and did not dare to send troops, only the old man dared to lead the troops to fight, entered the enemy camp, and fought to boost the morale of our army. ”

"The old man led the troops to gradually regain the frontier, and re-cleaned the border barrier of my Qin State, for a time there were countless military exploits, the old man rode into Xianyang, and those people before did not dare to look at me, at that time the old man felt that he was invincible in the world, but it was amazing."

Meng Wu took his voice and smiled on his face, it was the most beautiful time in his life.

But suddenly, the smile on Meng Wu's face stopped abruptly.

Between the eyebrows, it is loss and resentment that cannot be dispersed.

"The higher a person climbs, the more painful it hurts to fall, at first the old man didn't know what this sentence meant, but then he knew...... All the heroes were commended, but only the old man was sent to the frontier. ”

Chen Chao sat calmly, and in just a few breaths, he saw Meng Wu's life, a life of ups and downs of fate, some scenery, and more frustration.

"Over the years, I have only cared about fighting for territory with my friends and neighbors, and the old man is tired."

Meng Wu closed his eyes and opened them for a long time:

Chen Xiang can know, why is the old man unwilling to fight? The old man abandoned his pen and followed Rong, and almost single-handedly reshaped the border of my Qin State, talking about the ability to lead troops to fight, in the Qin State, no one will be the opponent of the old man, if the old man has the heart to fight, half of the Qin State will be the dowry of the old man's two daughters sooner or later. ”

"I don't know." Chen Chao shook his head, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Don't hide it, what to say."

"So I said it?"

Meng Wu nodded, and then heard Chen Chaodao:

"Actually, at the beginning, I thought the old general was stupid and loyal, so he didn't want to fight. But recently I found out that the old general is not stupid and loyal, but does not want the Qin people to kill each other. ”

Meng Wuruo is really foolish and loyal, and he is loyal to the King of Qin.

Then he should fight even more, to subdue all the military towns in the territory of Qin for the King of Qin, get rid of the cancer like the five families of Xianyang City, and hand over a promising Qin State to the King of Qin, but Meng Wu did not do this.

With Mengwu's ability to lead troops to fight, he can do it completely.

After saying a word, Meng Wu actually laughed heartily, and looked up to the sky and laughed.

Meng Wu smiled, ignoring Chen Chao's obstruction, got up and clenched his fists and leaned over:

"This time, if the old man dies at the border pass, he will bother Chen Xiang to take care of the old man's two daughters."

Chen Chao was silent and nodded, which was regarded as responding to Meng Wu's entrustment.

……

……

When leaving, Chen Chao stood at the door of the house, staring at the old back of Meng Wu wiping his armor, and watched for a long time before leaving.

At first, he didn't understand Meng Wu, didn't understand why this stubborn and stubborn old general did this, and even his two daughters couldn't understand him, only thought that Meng Wu only cared about the country and didn't care about his family.

But now, Chen Chao seems to understand a little bit.

He suddenly admired him in his heart, and he was also a little uncomfortable.
