auspicious baby

In the simple and air-tight adobe houses, tall, burly and unkempt men stood in front of the topographic map made of sand dunes, smiling at the topographic map like a girl in Huaichun.

Since the beginning of the year, Gu Zhang has united with the militia to strangle the Cantonese army. Gu Zhang led a group of troops to attack from the southwest corner to encircle them.The two armies stood still for a few months, waiting for the time when the Guangdong army's food and morale would be wiped out.And the Cantonese army is also more desperate. Earlier, when the limelight was fierce, they offended several warlords around them. The limited weapons and troops were taken away.

Hu Han, who is the head of the fifth regiment of the Second Company, laughed loudly and said: "This time they are still trapped to death. Damn, Er Liu is killed. I can finally help him avenge him. Commander Gu, our regiment is willing." Be the vanguard and beat the fuck up."

Hu Han, a man from the northeast, his parents went to the underworld to buy salted duck eggs a long time ago, and he was raised at will by other villages. The names given to him by other villages are also very random. Basically, they are assigned to the orphans in the village in order. A few slides.He sent three without even making a decision, and the conventional one was called Sanliu.

Later, during Zhanluan, he came to Guangdong to make a living with a group of friends, and met Gu Zhang.After a period of military service, their ideas sprouted and they realized the importance of names without a teacher, so they pestered Qian Yin, who was considered educated in the army, to change their names for them.

Influenced by the family atmosphere, Qian Yin is not a complete new youth, and remains obsessed with the feudal five elements and gossip, so he uses the Yijing Fengshui and trendy fashion to create a name for each person.Because of this, Qian Yin once flourished in the army.But in troubled times, no matter how good the name is, no matter how good the meaning is, it cannot stop the corrosion of bullets.Once a group of people were separated by yin and yang, and the former wealth and honor were not forgotten, it was just empty talk, and even the bones could not return to their hometown, so they could only bury loyal bones everywhere in the green hills.

Everyone can understand Hu Han's thoughts, so no one objects.

Gu Zhang looked at the simulated topographic map without saying a word, with an indelible worry on his brows.

Seeing this, the commander of the third company asked, "Does the commander-in-chief have any suggestions?"

"I don't think it's an easy fight."

As soon as the words came out, the generals below couldn't help but fell silent.Gu Zhang also understands that before the war, this is the most taboo, and it can be said to be a blow to one's own ambition.But seeing that they are too optimistic and close to a state of blindness, I am afraid that they will take it lightly, miss the opportunity, and give up their lives in vain.

He said slowly: "In terms of military strength and situation, we did have a good opportunity, but the battle report said that the Cantonese army had run out of food. I doubt it, and I'm not sure about the authenticity of the battle report. Think about it, everyone, the Cantonese army is stationed in this area "Gu Zhang drew a circle in the middle of the topographic map with a wooden branch, and continued, "The Guangdong army is different from us. Our army is stationed temporarily, and all the food used must be brought with us. They have occupied the area for nearly a year. Even if the number of civilians farming in it is negligible, where does the food for the Cantonese army come from?"

One person hesitated and said: "It means that the Cantonese army may open up wasteland in it?"

"It's possible, based on the production of grain fields in Guangdong, two constructions a year can fully feed their people."

"Then now is not a good time to send troops!" said the third regiment leader.

Gu Zhang's words were like a cannonball, blowing up everyone to see the situation clearly.

After Li Chuan pondered for a moment, "There is another bad situation."

Qian Yin pushed him, "Can you say something nice."

Li Chuan glanced at him and ignored him, "Their terrain is dominant, the mountain peaks turn around, and the terrain is complicated. As long as you defend the mountain and enter the road, you will not be afraid of enemies from the front and back. It is typical that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. According to this situation, they will definitely use throwing stones." Think about the strategy of the ambush, when we passed through this area, our army took a long way to avoid it, but we were still ambushed and unable to fight back."

Everyone present knew that Li Chuan hadn't finished speaking, but the meaning was fully conveyed. Just now, he was full of enthusiasm, and the fire was soaring into the sky, but now it was dying.

"So you can't fight?"

Gu Zhang said in a deep voice: "No, we must fight. The longer the battle line is stretched, the food will be a big problem."

Li Chuan continued: "You want to sneak attack at night?"

Gu Zhang took out a box of cigarettes from his breast pocket, tapped the box on the broken table a few times, shook out a cigarette, put it in the corner of his mouth, lit it, and took a deep breath. No matter when he was, he would always Gives people a kind of reliability as stable as Mount Tai, even if soldiers are at the bottom of the city, even if life is hanging by a thread, with him, it seems that there will always be light and hope.

"Set fire to the mountain at night," he said.

Silent, pensive.

An old voice said: "It's not appropriate, the entire mountain forest has been burned down, and no grass will grow. What can the people inside do!"

Gu Zhang took a look at him and recognized him. The white-haired old man was half buried in the ground. He was originally a native of Yunnan. He suddenly became alone, grotesque and grotesque all day long. He had lived on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau for half his life, and he was very familiar with the terrain. He showed the way for Gu Zhang and his team.He was helpless in Yunnan, so he simply went out with Gu Zhang to see the world.

A person who is tired by war sympathizes with war.

But the reason why war turns into war is because the most basic sympathy of the perpetrator has been annihilated. If he violates the other party for profit, it is not because he does not know that war will kill people. Make the blood flow into charcoal.But in a period of history, there are constant scuffles and constant conscripts. Today you send troops to rob for a city, and tomorrow I want weapons and send troops to fight.Disturbance, chaos, every superior has original sin, and there is blood dripping between the hands.

"Did you give up because of this? No, the turmoil is the pain before childbirth. You can't make a choice. If you beat them to the core, there will never be a day of peace. Even if I am guilty, I have to do it." Gu Zhang's face was full of smoke In the midst of lingering, indistinct.

The old man didn't say anything anymore, he knew the truth after living for decades, but when he was going to do it, he still felt faintly reluctant.

But it was cruel, and there was no way out.

After the meeting, the army entered a state of preparation for war. Li Chuan issued an encrypted combat strategy early on, and only waited for the troops stationed in the southeast to confirm the time before attacking.

However, two days later, the battle report received was to withdraw the troops.

As soon as the battle report came out, the whole army did not neglect, and retreated immediately after packing for half a day.

Military orders are like mountains, even if you go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of ​​fire, as long as you give an order, you will do your best to fulfill it, because you are a soldier.

When I came back, the road was smooth. On the winding mountain road, I occasionally met soldiers stationed at the posts watching, but they were not attacked. They probably negotiated terms with their superiors.Forget it, it's better to take a trip for nothing than to meet each other on the battlefield.

After two days of running around, a group of people returned to their station outside Guangzhou.

After establishing an alliance with the national army on behalf of western Yunnan, Gu Zhang proposed not to be stationed in Guangzhou City. Everyone put their heads on their waists and trousers. When tigers fight each other, they are caught in a predicament surrounded by people, and people are fighting with swords and I am fish and meat.

He travels hard and arrives at the station wearing stars.Sporadic fires flickered in the barracks, and the sentry on the high tower saw the army from a distance. When the whistle blew, the gate of the confinement opened.

Behind the wooden black gate, under the starlight, the ground is covered with a layer of salt powder. A few fireflies fluttered their wings and flew slowly, but they were scared away by the sound of horseshoes.

Dressed in green clothes, Tang Shishi is holding a bright lamp, her figure is hidden in the night, only the core fire under the glass cover is burning faintly, like an elf that cannot be driven away amidst the horseshoe shaking the sky.

When Gu Zhang rode close, he found her, and immediately blew his whistle to signal to stop.

Qian Yin, who was following Gu Zhang, couldn't help but spit out, "Miss, you stand in the middle of the road, aren't you afraid of being trampled to death!"

Tang Shishi sneered in her heart, completely ignoring him, and still looking at Gu Zhang with a blunt expression, when the wind picked up, she took advantage of the opportunity to lift up her loose robe, revealing her bulging belly.

Gu Zhang waved his hand, "Everyone can fix it by themselves!"

The bachelors, who didn't know the reason, started booing blindly, laughing lasciviously one by one.Li Chuan yelled at them, "You fool, get lost!"

As the people and horses drifted away, the laughter faded away, and everything returned to silence.

It was so quiet that Gu Zhang didn't know how to speak.

After a long time, Tang Shishi sneezed. She rubbed her nose, hugged her clothes tightly, and whispered softly, "It's good to be back."

"It's windy at night, let's go back."

Gu Zhang got off his horse and walked forward holding the rope.Tang Shishi followed and walked side by side with him.

She looked up at the sky full of stars, sniffed the smell of sweat mixed with tobacco on Gu Zhang's body, and suddenly felt that everything she had suffered in the past few months was worth it. In the past five months, she was actually not feeling well. .

Apart from the strong physical reaction in the early stages of pregnancy, there were more of the sensible and private verbal attacks around me.

After Tang Weiqu found out, he went crazy and unilaterally beat Gu Zhang. She didn't persuade Tang Weiqu, but she hoped to put pressure on Gu Zhang.

She loves the man beside her so much that she is so selfish and ferocious, so much so that she can't extricate herself from it.

Emotion itself is very wonderful and mysterious, it doesn't matter the reasons and reasons, since it doesn't matter all the way to the dark.

Tang Shishi clearly remembered that when she saw him for the first time, she was covered in mud, and her face was covered with mud. Only those eyes met and moved away in an instant, leaving behind the throbbing of a girl's feelings.At the second glance, it has sunk in.

Originally, she thought that the two would be a match made in heaven, but it's a pity that there is Baoxiang.

But soon she let go of it, the gender advantage, no matter how beautiful he is, he will always be unable to beat her, and she is not alone, she laughed as she thought about it, bowing her head and holding Gu Zhang full of scars stroking Gao's protruding belly with his hand, "Recently your son has been kicking me all the time."

Gu Zhang's whole body froze, his eyes were lowered, and he walked absent-mindedly.

"Actually, the worst thing is not being led astray inexplicably, but when you are lonely with a sword on your back, and decide to keep going and go your own way, a person suddenly appears, hugs you tightly, and says , young man, I want to share this long life with you, when you get excited, you throw away the sword, roast the horse, and when you turn around, the person is gone.” Qian kept gnawing on the dripping chicken leg, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees melancholy , sighed, "Xiaohua from the village told me that she would marry me. I haven't had time to grow up yet. Damn it, how long has it been! She followed the old man in the next village and became an old man for an unknown amount of time. Concubine of the house, tell me, I am not as good as that old man whose neck is covered in loess."

"Because his house has shiny gold bars again." Li Chuan said

Qian Yin picked up the wine glass again, and took a sip boldly, but it was a pity that he was talking about the person he loved the most, drinking the strongest wine, but he couldn't hold it in his throat, and spit it out immediately.

The rice mixed with the chewed minced meat sprayed Li Chuan, a hero like a dog's head dripping with blood, and the strong wine with lingering fragrance slowly dripped down his cheeks.

Qian Yin frantically wiped it for him, and the more he wiped it, the more something went wrong, Li Chuan was neither angry nor sad, and he was so detached from the food, it made him tremble with fear, it was clearly the tranquility of the storm!

"Mr. Li," Qian Yin tentatively called out.Immediately afterwards, the world turned upside down, and Li Chuan jumped up and threw him to the ground. When he realized it, he watched Li Chuan slowly spit out the chewed food, which was directly stuffed into his mouth.

Qian Yin was so angry that he vomited blood, his human potential was fully stimulated, kicked him away, and sat against the wall, vomiting until he was dizzy.When he was about to vomit, Shandong dialect was mixed with inarticulate Cantonese, and he greeted every organ in Li Chuan's body and even his descendants who were not alive.

Li Chuan was rubbing his kicked chest, smiling so happily and heartily, it drove Qian Yin even more into smoke.

Qian Yin couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the horrific vomit with one hand, Li Chuan's face trembled, an ominous premonition arose spontaneously, his body reacted honestly, and ran away.

So, on the lawn at sunset, the soldiers practicing by the river saw from a distance that the sturdy Li Zhang, with his head full of rice grains and vegetable leaves, ran for his life, chasing monkeys like money endlessly, covered in blood all over his body. Holding an indescribable object, full of murderous intent.

In the end, Li Chuan was forced to the riverside with nowhere to go, like a big version who was forced into prostitution, with his back against the river and facing Qian Yin.

"Master Qian, oh no, Mr. Qian, you villain does not count the faults of adults, oh no, adults do not count faults of villains, please forgive me, I will not dare next time!"

Qian Yin was unmoved, and began to slowly knead the things that came out of his stomach into a ball, kneading and kneading, Li Chuan was startled, his throat rolled up and down a few times, and he felt like vomiting.He backed away slowly, but it was impossible for him to be able to swim as he had been rooted in land for more than 20 years.

Seeing that Qian Yin was covered with dark clouds, he didn't want to be softened, so he hardened his tone, "Qian Yin, do you know what you are doing, if you commit the same crime next time, what kind of crime is that! If you know your mistakes and can correct them, then don't make mistakes!"

It's a pity that the vibration of his voice betrayed Li Chuan.

Qian Yin won by surprise, taking advantage of Li Chuan's panic in the stalemate, his sudden speed, and flew to throw him down. No matter how hard Li Chuan was on the battlefield, he couldn't dodge Qian Yin who was like a small cannonball. He stepped back and accidentally stepped on the air. Instinctively grabbed Qian Yin's front, and it was a tragedy. Thousands of stunned soldiers dragged Qian Yin and fell into the river. What's even more tragic was that Qian Yin couldn't swim, so he panicked and grabbed him Li Chuan's neck.

Li Chuan suddenly realized that he would be strangled to death by this kid before he drowned.

The group of soldiers thought that the two of them were having fun everyday, after all, it was not surprising that they got along, and there were always convulsions for a few days a month.However, seeing the frequency of the two people paddling on the water getting lower and lower, the squad leader finally realized that they were drowning, but this realization was a bit late. When they were picked up, the two were as weak as dying patients. Can't tell.Pressing hard on the swollen stomach, wow, spit out water.

The soldiers on the third floor and the third floor looked at each other, and a soldier with a Henan accent wondered, "Sir, do you want to die for love?"

When Qian Yin was so angry that he stabbed into the heart, he was terrified at first, but when he heard that he had something to do with this unlucky person, he passed out as soon as his eyes darkened, but when he was about to faint, The soldier yelled again, "Officer Qian died for love!"

Within half an hour, the news spread in the military camp. Even the wounded in the military medical department knew about it. Many colleagues covered their curiosity with condolences, and came to the hospital bed where Li Chuan Qianyin was, to express tolerance and understanding.Tang Weiqu, based on the mentality that he is unhappy and others can't think of a good life, ridiculed with three points and seven points, bluntly said that there is no need to avoid taboos, if you want love, you must express it bravely. , But in the end, if it weren't for the laughter, the remarks are justified and well-founded, which is comparable to an orator.

The colleagues nearby and the soldiers below all expressed their blessings in a perfunctory manner. Only the two parties were green-faced and explained at the beginning, but the more they explained, it was a cover-up in the eyes of others, and they felt worthless if they continued. .

How aggrieved by his grandma!

Qian Yin and Li Chuan looked at each other with disgust.

In Guangzhou City, in the town hall.

The transparent long looped glass table reflects the brilliance of the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, as well as the silhouettes of people in a hurry.

As a veteran, Han Cheng has become an honorary member of the military and political circles. Although he has no real power, he has increased his prestige. Many people present whispered a few pleasantries with him before turning around and sitting down. .

"Thank you for attending this meeting," Han Cheng said, holding the speaker on the table, and there was a procedural applause. After the applause subsided, he continued, "I believe everyone knows the reason for the meeting. Han will make a long story short. Yes, the Beiyang government issued a document last night about the annual regular meeting."

"Although we are located in the remote south, the strength of our army should not be underestimated. The combination of several major military departments is superior in terms of weapons and equipment, as well as the number of soldiers. The Beiyang government needless to say, is more or less wary of us. Besides, the so-called big tree attracts the wind."

"Hmph," the third division commander of the army, who can't keep up with his physical development, sneered. He is in the same grade as Han Cheng, and his resume is similar. He is just a politician and a soldier. The two seem to be incompatible, but they just look at each other. Wrong eyes, from young to gray hair, have worked tirelessly for decades to the end.

As soon as Master Wang made any movement, Han Cheng asked coldly, "Oh, what's your opinion, Master?"

"Don't dare, fart as soon as you have one, don't need to grind it, the gun is blunted, and you know how many soldiers died on the battleship."

Talking to such an extent, the meeting room instantly became overwhelmed with sex, and with a slight spark, it would explode immediately.

At this time, Han Cheng is a politician who has been cultivated for decades, and he is not obviously angry. He still said: "The committee decided to send a representative to Beijing to attend the meeting, and the candidate is Gu Zhang. Mr. Wang, is it concise and clear enough? Listen Gotta understand."

Master Wang still sneered, and didn't want to continue the verbal dispute with him, but history proved that he was right, after all, he would always be at a disadvantage and be turned around and slapped in the face.

Gu Zhang stood up, humbly expressing his lack of experience in this trip to the north, and giving enough face and opportunity to let those sour people go down to the next level. After a few years of experience, Gu Zhang's water chestnuts have been worn away by the years and become more mellow. It's not that he lost his heart, but he wants to deal with it in a more peaceful way.

After the car made its way out of the gate, another bridge car started its engine to keep up.

In the wild mountains.

Two bridge cars are parked side by side.

The eyes stretched far and wide, and there was no human fireworks, towering old trees, and weeds everywhere. The wheels of Wang Yi's bridge cart were caught in the vines and were forced to die.

Li Chuan was very dissatisfied with this, "Why do you have to be in such a mess every time, why can't you find a normal place and hold a discussion meeting?"

Wang Yi lowered his head and pulled out the vine with brute force, saying, "So it's contagious."

"?What,"

"The one who is close to Zhu is red and the one who is close to ink is black. If you follow Qian Yin a lot, you will also have a better ability to hate people." Wang Yi winked at him with a meaningful smile.

"It's been done at a young age, facial nerve spasms, like a neuropathy." Li Chuan couldn't help feeling irritable when he thought of Qian Yin.

"Let's get down to business," Wang Yi put on a hippie smile, and said to Gu Zhang seriously, "I found out the account books of human trafficking in the Guangzhou commercial firm." , opened the box hidden inside, took out a yellowed account book, and handed it to Gu Zhang.

Gu Zhang flipped through a few pages, glanced roughly, and said with a frown, "Only how many people boarded the ship in what month and what day, there is no clear transaction information, and there is no description of the owner who is connected."

"You forgot that there are witnesses. Mo Yu, this kid can't do anything else. He betrayed his comrades. He is the top leader. Thanks to him, he gradually controlled several management. The witnesses and evidences are here. A list has been left in the Eighth Hell, and he is not allowed to stand up forever."

At the same time, promote the Escort.

Suddenly, a lot of people gathered in the hall of the Escort Bureau. They were of all ages and came for various purposes.

A few old smoking guns and short cannons were in their hands, making the hall smoky, and Baoxiang was called out to help deal with it.
