Chapter 285: The Box

"What's wrong with you?" October looked at Liu Chu who was standing in a daze in the small courtyard.

Since Liu Chu came back from the southern Xinjiang support, he would be alone in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

October suspects, didn't Liu Chumo have some kind of dementia?

Good boy, if you get a dementia, isn't it the end?

"Nothing. Liu Chu turned around and smiled at October.

The first battle in southern Xinjiang ended quickly, and there was some drama, in the final analysis, it was Menjing Dagu himself who played a good hand of cards to a pulp.

Nowadays, southern Xinjiang is basically stable, and for a while, people from overseas non-local areas should not come over.

Although there were also many wars in eastern and northern Xinjiang, they basically held on.

The biggest problem is still in Western Xinjiang.

The millions of troops of the Chu State, as well as the millions of elite armies in overseas Africa, were all assembled in the western frontier.

Once the Wei State fights with them, the number of people in this war will reach an unprecedented level of 10 million!

The war of tens of millions of people, this scale, just thinking about it makes people's scalps tingle!

Before Liu Chu left, the city wall of Jiaguang City was collapsed by Su Youyu, but fortunately, there were still defensive organs outside, which blocked several waves of impact from the Chu State and overseas African coalition forces.

But now, the defense organs are basically exhausted, and the next big war, I'm afraid we will have to face to face with real guns.

"The walls are halfway built, do you want to go and see them?" asked October.

"No need, it doesn't make much sense to repair it well or not, I think, just Armageddon. Liu Chu said.

October was suddenly a little surprised, and went straight to the Armageddon? How many people would have to die?

If the city wall is repaired, it can still consume some of the enemy's numbers, and if it defends for a while, there will be more reinforcements from Kyushu in the interior.

"I know what you're thinking, and I'm sure Yan Zhenyue is thinking the same way. Liu Chu said.

"You know there's going to be a big deal going on?" said October.

"Then have you ever thought that once we immediately divide the winner and loser, we can immediately rush to the battlefield in Eastern Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang, and when the time comes, there will be many fewer deaths in Eastern Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang. ”

"At the same time, if the decisive battle here is won, it can boost the morale of the people of the whole country. ”

"Moreover, after dragging it for a long time, the consumption of grain and grass is an astronomical amount! The food that the soldiers eat now is squeezed out by tightening their belts after letting the people go!" Liu Chu said.

After listening to Liu Chu's words, October fell into silence, which is indeed quite reasonable.

"Then why don't you go and talk to General Yan?" asked October.

"He won't agree, so I'm waiting. Liu Chu said.

"What are you waiting for?" said October.

"The will, Your Majesty thinks, should be the same as mine. Liu Chu pointed in the direction of Chang'an.

"Are you the roundworm in Your Majesty's belly?" said October with a look of surprise.

"Then I'd rather be a hair on Your Majesty's body, roundworms, how disgusting. Liu Chu said.

"What part of the hair?" blurted out October.

Liu Chu's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of incredulity.

"I think, I'd better send you home, who did you learn this from?" Liu Chu looked worried, what a little girl, she was damaged by someone.

"With him. October casually pointed to the door.

"Me?" Tong Botao, who had just entered the door, was stunned for a moment, what is the situation?

Liu Chu looked at Tong Botao at the door, his eyes flashing with "killing intent".

Tong Botao couldn't help but tremble, did he come at the wrong time? What happened here?

"This letter from His Majesty, I put it here. Tong Botao put a letter on the bush next to him, and then left directly.

Before leaving, he looked back from time to time, he didn't know what he was afraid of, but he was afraid that someone would suddenly come up and give him a stick!

Liu Chu walked over, picked up the letter and opened it, and after reading the content of the letter, he immediately hooked the corners of his mouth.

"It's coming. Liu Chu shook the letter in his hand at October.

"Really?" October came forward, and it was really a letter for Liu Chu to conduct a decisive battle.

However, the letter also said that Liu Chu and Yan Zhenyue, as appropriate, must be guaranteed to win before launching a decisive battle.

At the same time, Liu Chu also got an amazing news that Emperor Wei had set off for southern Xinjiang!

The letter did not specify what Emperor Wei was doing in southern Xinjiang, but only said, "I am waiting for you to return victoriously in southern Xinjiang!"

Liu Chu squinted his eyes and thought of a possibility, in the court, I am afraid that something will happen.

"I'll go talk to General Yan. Liu Chu said hello to October and went straight to Yan Zhenyue's big tent.

Liu Chu built a single-family courtyard because of the relationship between October, and Yan Zhenyue was different, a lonely family, so he had always lived in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Armageddon now?" Yan Zhenyue listened to Liu Chu's words, and his brows were furrowed.

Yan Zhenyue did not agree to the Armageddon because he had a certain amount of selfishness in it.

In the event of a decisive battle, how many soldiers will he have to die in the western frontier? Although this selfish motive is incorrect, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and no one wants his subordinates to die.

"Your Majesty's will, although I will discuss it with you, but basically, you know. Liu Chu gave the letter to Yan Zhenyue.

After reading the contents of the letter, Yan Zhenyue just said the word "good", obviously agreeing to the Armageddon.

Liu Chu immediately hooked the corners of his mouth, or Emperor Wei was shrewd, if it weren't for the latter sentence, Emperor Wei said that he had gone to southern Xinjiang, Yan Zhenyue would probably have to hesitate for a long time.

But with the addition of this sentence, it is not ordinary, what Liu Chu can think of, Yan Zhenyue must also be able to think of.

In the imperial court, I'm afraid it's not very stable, so the war must end as soon as possible, so they can go back to "protect the dragon"!

After it was determined, the army began to organize in an orderly manner, and the corresponding materials were constantly being prepared.

Moreover, Liu Chu also asked people to deliberately release the news of the Armageddon so that people in Chu and overseas Africa would know.

Fight, you have to fight thoroughly! Be a real man!

Desheng Pass Fortress is an important pass in the west of Xinjiang to Chang'an, at this time there are two teams of people and horses, meeting each other.

The leaders of both sides nodded to each other.

The group of men and horses heading towards the west suddenly turned around and gave a military salute to the group that was moving away behind them.

This group of men and horses was to transport weapons to the front line, while this group of men and horses to the east was to send "people" to the rear.

Chen Ershui was standing at the head of the village, and suddenly saw a team of people wearing iron armor, and immediately ran back.

Chen Ershui pushed open the door of the house, and snorted inside, "Mother! Dad is back!"

When the middle-aged woman who was cooking heard this, the spatula in her hand fell on the stove at once, and she splashed water into the stove with a touch of water, and after extinguishing the fire, she hurried to the head of the village.

It was a group of soldiers, more than twenty people, escorted by a carriage, and there were many traces of knives and axes on the carriage, and there were many dried blood stains, and there must have been a rich story on it.

"Sister-in-law!" The soldiers led by him saw Er Shui Niang, and knelt down directly with a plop.

Ershui Niang glanced at the middle of the soldiers, but did not find her husband, and then saw the young man from the same village as her husband kneeling, and her heart suddenly burst.

The soldiers in the rear opened the curtain of the carriage, and someone took a look inside and found that they were all small boxes, which were quite exquisite.

A small box was taken out, and at the same time a soldier's uniform was also taken out, the clothes were padded underneath, and the small box was placed on top, and on top of the small box, a fiery red flag was stamped with the word "Wei" on it, and a lifelike golden dragon.

"Sister-in-law! I'm sorry! I failed to take care of my eldest brother!" the young man took the three items, held back his tears, and handed them to Ershui Niang.

Ershui Niang took a few deep breaths, in front of the child, she couldn't cry.

"Thank you, I'm really bothering you, it's far away, my old Chen is still bothering you to bring things back, don't delay your business. Ershui Niang smiled and thanked.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment at the same time, and only after seeing Ershui Niang look at Chen Ershui, did the soldiers react.

"It's not in the way, it's just a matter of the way, Brother Chen also asked us to bring back the military salary for the previous few months. The young man fumbled up and down, and finally only found a few copper plates, and he was immediately embarrassed.

Seeing this, the other soldiers immediately began to grope up and down, and finally scraped together more than five taels of silver.

The soldiers stuffed the money into Ershui Niang's hands, turned around and ran away.

"Mother, didn't Dad come back with these big brothers?" asked Chen Ershui with a puzzled expression.

Ershui Niang touched the small box covered with the red battle flag, and wanted to say: Silly boy, your father is back, in this box.

However, she didn't dare to say how sad it would be to lose her father for such a young baby, let him always remember that his father was a soldier and fought on the front line.

"Your father is busy, don't you ask someone to send good things to our mother and mother back? Ershui Niang rubbed Chen Ershui's head.

"Okay! I've eaten braised pork!" Chen Ershui jumped up happily, and then ran away with a smoke.

He wants to share the news of his braised pork with his friends, children, who always like to show off what he has but others don't.

Therefore, Ershui Niang couldn't tell Chen Ershui the news of Lao Chen's death.

Otherwise, Chen Ershui would have to envy others for having a father and not having a father himself.

In the evening, Ershui Niang made braised pork for Chen Ershui as promised, and bought a few bottles of good wine by the way, which made Chen Ershui a little puzzled, why did his mother buy wine?

At night, after lulling Chen Ershui to sleep, Ershui Niang took the wine she bought to the fence courtyard, dug a pit, put four bottles of wine on the four corners, and then took out the box containing Lao Chen and put it in the pit, not big or small, just right.

This night, Er Shui Niang was alone, crying silently......

The next day, Ershui Niang pointed to the small mound of earth fenced with bamboo in the small courtyard, and said to Ershui: "There is an ancestor living there, you can't disturb him to rest, when you have nothing to do, you can say goodbye." ”

"Immortals, immortals, are there immortals living in our family?" Chen Ershui's eyes widened suddenly.

Ershui Niang was stunned for a moment, but did not explain.
