District 9

Inside the He Department Headquarters.

He Chong stood beside the conference table with his hands on his hips somewhat glumly, cursing loudly. No one of the surrounding generals dared to interrupt, and they could not think of any effective countermeasures for the time being.

The reason why He Chong's mentality is so explosive is because the current military situation in the Lukou area makes them very uncomfortable.

Sichuan's 185th and 186th brigades, Zhou's Liu Weiren division, and He Dachuan's independent regiment suddenly made a premeditated retreat when Zheng Kaijun attacked Fengbeinan, and got stuck behind the He and Feng troops. Side, then stood still.

In this way, the He and Feng families are currently at the center of the battlefield. In front are Shen Wanzhou's remaining troops of more than 10,000 people, and behind are the Sichuan and Zhou families' more than 20,000 troops.

At this moment, Shen Wanzhou led his troops to break out. He Chong originally wanted to let the main forces of the Feng and He families pounce on them, block them near Langshan, and eat this group of people in one go.

However, the Sichuan troops and Liu Weiren's division stood still, which made He Chong afraid to order a fight. Because there is a full field division, a full guard regiment, and half a mixed brigade from the Shen Department in front. Although the number is not huge, once he attacks, he may not be able to kill them in a short time.

At this time, if the troops of the Sichuan Faction cooperate with Liu Weiren's division to steal from behind, then the He Faction and Feng Faction will definitely face attacks from both front and rear, and the troops will definitely not be able to escape and return to the Fengbei battlefield in a short time.

As a result, He Chong's situation became more embarrassing, because on the Fengbei battlefield, the three factions of He, Feng, and Lu did not have an advantage in terms of military strength. The remaining troops of the Feng Clan must stick to Songjiang City and resist the First Field Brigade of the Sichuan Province. The large forces of the Lu Clan must defend Changji on the one hand, and attack Fengbei with the Zhou Clan on the other. Therefore, Lu Bosen has given several He called and asked him to mobilize large forces to return to defense, which made him very anxious.

…

In the command room.

Xue Huaili put his hands in his hands, frowned and looked at He Chong and said: "Xiao Chong, the more you get to this time, the more calm you have to be. If you lose your composure, the officer will lose his composure. If the officer loses his composure, the troops below will become even more confused."

When He Chong heard this, he gasped heavily. He forcibly adjusted his emotions, turned to look at Xue Huaili and asked, "Uncle, what do you think is the best solution to this situation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound outside the door, and a guard came in and shouted: "Report to the commander, commander in chief, General Feng Ji is here."

"Please!" He rushed back.

Ten seconds later, Feng Ji walked into the camp with his adjutant, frowned and said: "The two brigades from Sichuan and Liu Weiren's division are lying behind our large army, and Shen Wanzhou has already led them. The soldiers are starting to break out. If we don't stop him, what if he runs away?"

"General Feng, I am talking to Uncle Xue about this matter." He Chong immediately replied: "Our situation is a bit embarrassing now. Once the main force rushes forward to attack the remnants of the Shen Department, the troops from the Sichuan Prefecture will fire from behind. , we are in trouble."

"If you don't fight, Shen Wanzhou will run away." Feng Ji replied expressionlessly: "If he runs away, it will be even more troublesome."

He Chong was silent.

"...Shen Wanzhou has no other choice. If he wants to break out, he must go to Zangyuan." Feng Ji bent down and sat down and said: "The mountains there are high and wide, and they are very close to the fifth district. Once Shen Wanzhou enters there, he will be resurrected. possible."

"Is reconciliation possible?" He Chong asked.

"With the Sichuan government?" Feng Ji shook his head directly: "You don't have to think about it, Qin Yu will not talk to you. Why did they choose to take action first when their troops were relatively disadvantaged? It's obvious, he is We must take advantage of this time point when Shen Wanzhou is about to die but is not dead yet to completely resolve the issue of the ownership of rights in the Nine Districts. He may even accept defeat, but he will never accept surrender."

He Chong fell silent upon hearing this.

"Xiao Chong, you have to figure out why Qin Yu didn't rush to kill Shen Wanzhou." Xue Huaili said suddenly.

He Chong turned around: "Why?"

"Because although he and Shen Wanzhou also have irreconcilable conflicts, compared with you, the conflict between them seems weaker." It is purely because you, He Chong, stood up to rebel against him that the conflict between you is really about life and death. Qin Yu can accept letting Shen Wanzhou go temporarily, but can you? If Shen Wanzhou makes a comeback, he will risk his life to fight with you Fight to death."

"Yes." Feng Ji nodded in agreement.

"So, you have only two choices now." Xue Huaili looked at He Chong: "First, you order the main force to rush forward at all costs and completely wipe out Shen Wanzhou for personal revenge, but this may affect our He Feng The military and political prospects of the Lu three cliques. Because once the Sichuan government and the Zhou clique steal the show, we will obviously not be able to provide assistance to the ninth district in a short time, and it is very likely that Fengbei will be lost. Second, you choose to proceed from the overall situation and temporarily Give up the hatred against Shen Wanzhou and immediately order the troops to return to defend Fengbei."

"Which way do you think is better?" He Chong asked.

"I am a staff officer, not a decision-maker." Xue Huaili shook his head, pointed at He Chong and said: "Making decisions is what you, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, should do."

He Chong clenched his fists when he heard the sound. He didn't want to let Shen Wanzhou go, nor did he want to give up Fengbei, so he was struggling and hesitating in his heart at the moment.

…

Xinxiang Life Town.

Qin Yu put his palms in his hands, sat quietly on the chair, and said softly to Meng Xi, "What do you think He Chong will choose?"

"It's me. I will definitely return to defend District 9." Meng Xi said without hesitation: "Because this is related to the prospects of the hundreds of thousands of troops in He Fenglu's third line. One wrong choice may lead to catastrophe."

Qin Yu was silent.

"Haha, but Master, the multiple-choice question you gave He Chong is quite cruel." Meng Xi said with a smile: "It's okay if he doesn't have the ability, but now he can kill his father's enemies with his own hands in minutes, but you force him to Asking him to give up... This is quite difficult for him."

Qin Yu thought about it for a long time, then took out his phone and dialed his beloved father-in-law's number.

"Hello?" Lin Yaozong's voice sounded.

"Dad, are you busy?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

When Meng Xi heard this title and tone, he smiled knowingly and immediately turned around and left.

…

Inside the camp on the north side of Fengbei.

"You argue with Liu. As long as he is willing to open the north gate of Fengbei and let us enter, I can let him and the troops go." Lu Bosen said anxiously: "But he must dare to wear a pair of trousers with the Zhou Department , if I break into the city, I will definitely massacre his division!"
