Omi had to sit up

Xie Zhen's tent is located in the north of the army camp. The tents are heavily guarded and the defense is very tight.

This is on the front line of the border, and there are crises everywhere. Even in the camp, you have to face the danger of enemy attack.But Xie Zhen, as an emperor, obviously didn't need to do it himself, but this time he led the army in person.

Holding the medicine bottle, Chen Shu lingered in front of Jiezhen camp for a moment, hesitating again in his heart, he slowed down a little, and walked not far from the entrance of the camp, calling for a guard.

The group of guards located near the camp were all palace guards who followed Xie Zhen, and they all recognized Lin Chenshu, and when they saw Lin Chenshu summoning him, they immediately said "Commander Lin" respectfully.

"En." Chen Shu responded, and took out the golden sore medicine that Jing Chu had prepared.

"Boss Lin, what is this?" The guard who was called by Chen Shu was taken aback.

"You hand it over to the emperor on my behalf." Chen Shu said, "Just say it's for Master He. Master He rescued me from the sea of ​​fire at the moment of my distress. Lin Chenshu didn't have time to thank him. This is the golden sore medicine for wounds." , I hope he recovers from his injury soon."

"This..." The guard had a problem.

Seeing his frown, Chen Shu couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

The guard hurriedly saluted Chen Shu again: "Commander Lin, although the whereabouts of the owner of He Zhuang are uncertain, he is now discussing matters in the emperor's camp, and the emperor is also here. How about I let you in to inform you?"

Chen Shu: "..." It was because of Xie Zhen's presence that he didn't choose to go in directly.

If he went in to report, Xie Zhen must know that he was coming, but since he came out of the palace, the relationship between the two of them has been difficult to return to the previous relationship.Xie Zhen sent He Wence to protect him. He should have thanked Xie Zhen like a normal person, but he didn't even think about what to say when he saw Xie Zhen.

Maybe talking about military affairs is the best choice, but when they met again in Di Yi's barracks, he only felt that the two of them would meet again... Maybe it would be as uncomfortable as it was then.

Uncontrollable discomfort.

"No need." Chen Shu held the golden sore medicine in his hand again, "The emperor and the owner of Hezhuang should be busy, don't bother them..."

Halfway through Chen Shu's speech, someone had already lifted the tent from the door next to him. He Wence was walking out of the tent with a bandage on one hand. Hearing his movements, he had already looked towards him, then smiled slightly : "Young Master Lin?"

In the gap exposed by He Wence's raised curtain, a figure in Xuanyi could still be vaguely seen standing inside.

"..." Chen Shu stood where he was.

Seeing this, the guards hurriedly bowed back, and He Wence's voice came again: "Is Mr. Lin here to look for the emperor?"

The door of the tent has been opened, and the conversation outside will be clearly transmitted to the tent.Chen Shu was silent for a while, then finally raised his hand and handed the medicine bottle to He Wence, with a slight smile on his face: "The owner of Hezhuang is someone close to the emperor, and he is here to look for you this time. I was grateful to Changhe Villa before." Xianghu, I haven't had time to thank the owner."

The figure in Xuanyi in the camp did not move, and was still standing there.

Outside, He Wence looked at the medicine bottle handed over by Chen Shu in astonishment. He only felt that the porcelain medicine bottle was warm in his hands, and he didn't know how long it had been covered.He was silent, then subconsciously looked back at the person standing behind him, and then laughed: "Mr. Lin, you are being polite. It is my duty to protect you. When the two armies are fighting, the commander is very important. I can only wait here If you are looking for a job, if Mr. Lin must thank you, it is better to thank the emperor."

"..." Chen Shu followed He Wence's gaze, lifted it halfway and retracted it, and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that the emperor would personally conquer Beiguan. He broke through the Diyi barracks. I really want to say something." Thanks."

Xuanyi's figure swayed slightly, and a persistent gaze looked over from the tent.

He Wence smiled slightly when he heard the words, and was waiting for Chen Shu to return to the tent with him, but saw that Chen Shu finished speaking, but still stood where he was, and did not enter the tent.

This……

The smile on He Wence's face was a bit awkward. He looked at Chen Shu, but saw that the other party lowered his eyes and said seriously: "I heard that the emperor has not rested since he set off from the capital, so I will not bother him for now."

He Wence sighed in his heart.The sight in the tent dimmed.

Chen Shu still stood where he was, and said in a low voice: "The border is dangerous, and the emperor's personal conquest should also take care of the dragon's body."

As soon as the words were finished, the gaze of the figure in Xuanyi was suddenly pulled back by it, and fell back on Chen Shu's body.He Wence's gaze also revealed a gleam of light.

After Chen Shu finished speaking thoroughly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then he got up and said goodbye to He Wence, and went to the layman.

The gaze that had been watching him slowly softened until Chen Shu walked away, and then slowly retracted.

The Northern Expedition Army rested and adjusted in Wuling City for five days, and then began to march towards Tongmao City.Di Yi in Tongmao City and Wuling City were assigned to the same military camp. Facing the overwhelming army, Di Yi resisted for only half a day before being defeated.Chen Shu led his troops into the city, captured the surrendered troops, and recaptured this important trade town of Beiguan.

But it is a pity that although the army captured many Diyi soldiers this time, Wei Yunchang did not appear in the city.On the third day after the capture of Tongmao City, an unexpected person ushered in the barracks.

"Lu Qi?" When he heard someone announce the identity of the visitor, Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, got up and went to visit.

He followed the guards, and soon saw a shadow standing in a combat camp, next to him was Ge Qi, and Xie Zhen was also there.The three of them were standing by the sand table, looking at the terrain of Beiguan, discussing something.

"Master Lin." Seeing Chen Shu walking in from the tent, Lu Qi quickly smiled and saluted Chen Shu.

He was dressed in a plain gray suit, and he was even thinner than before.

Lu Qi once helped Chen Shu solve the siege of Nanfeng City. Chen Shu smiled back when he saw this. After seeing Xie Zhen, his smile was slightly restrained, and he saluted respectfully.

This was the daily routine of Coach Lin meeting the emperor, but Ge Qi didn't think it was weird.It's just that there was a trace of surprise on Lu Qi's face, but Jian Zhen's expression was indifferent, and he remained silent and didn't say anything.

After Chen Shu finished his salute, he walked to the sand table a few steps later and said, "But there is a new military situation?"

"Commander Lin, we just came to inform you." Ge Qi nodded, "There is new information. King Di Yi sent [-] troops to pass through Beiyu Pass four days ago. The situation on this battlefield may change again."

Did Di Yi actually send more troops?Chen Shu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"King Di Yi learned that their Third Highness Wu Yanzhuo was killed by Lord Lin, and is now offering a reward to Lord Lin." Lu Qi said, "I was also active in Diyi City recently, and came to tell the emperor and Lord after learning the news. "

Wu Yanzhuo was Di Yi's coach who was killed in the first battle after Chen Shu arrived in Wuling City.At that time, the number of reinforcements led by Chen Shu was insufficient, and the best way to deter and defeat the enemy was to behead the commander in order to dampen the morale of the enemy army. Chen Shu thought so and did so, but he did not know the commander he beheaded at the time. It is the blood of the Diyi royal family.

"Wu Yanzhuo was originally King Di Yi's favorite prince. After breaking through the North Pass of our country, he would have enough inheritance to become the first successor." Ge Qi said, "Now it seems that King Di Yi's intention to send troops is There is also the intention of avenging your beloved son."

Chen Shu nodded.As a national teacher, Wei Yunjue was able to follow Di Yi's army to the south, which is enough to show the importance of the previous coach.

However, if Di Yi sends more troops, the two countries will have equal forces, and I am afraid it will be another fierce battle.

"The [-] soldiers and horses dispatched by Di Yi this time were all equipped with firearms." Lu Qi continued, "The firearms have been confirmed to be from the hands of Wei Yunyi. Back then, Tianxing kept a secret book that recorded firearms in detail. It was transcribed by Wei Yunjue. Half of the copy that Mo Wuwei got was the translation of Wei Yunjue."

The composition of Di Yi's firearm was strange, and Ge Qi sent someone to analyze it, but so far there was no result.If it came from Tian Xing Zang, given how weird Tian Xing Zang is, then that secret book is probably extraordinary, and it should be very difficult to decipher.

As a Jiang Hu person, Ge Qi had also heard of Tianxingzang. He changed his expression when he heard the words, "If Di Yi has firearms again, the situation in Beiguan will be very difficult. But we have already bombed a battalion once, so Di Yi should have Prevented..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Zhen, who had been silent beside him, suddenly said, "The method of bombing the camp is too dangerous and should not be adopted again. Does Army Master Ge have other methods to deal with firearms?"

"..." Xie Zhen spoke suddenly, and Chen Shu was slightly taken aback.

Since Xie Zhen Yujia's personal expedition, the two of them have rarely communicated.But since he sent a medicine bottle to He Wence last time, He Wence has also sent back a lot of things, some are said to be Fengqinghua ointment, and some calming incense.Chen Shu knew it was from Xie Zhen just by looking at He Wence's eyes, but he didn't refuse, but just stored it away.

When the two met, they mostly focused on military affairs.The mode is basically based on Chen Shu's report, Xie Zhen only for reference, and most of the replies are just "um" and "good", and rarely say so much suddenly like just now.

Ge Qi only said that the emperor denied the practice of bombing the camp.Hearing this, he thought about it carefully and said, "The reason why firearms are called firearms is that they use the fire of the five elements to support their combustion. Among the five elements, water suppresses fire, and we may be able to take advantage of this."

Lu Qi asked from the side: "How to use water to overcome fire?"

Ge Wangwang looked at the sky outside the tent and said: "If it is raining heavily and the fire is extinguished, the firearm will naturally have no effect."

"You mean it's raining?" Chen Shu realized.

"That's right, if it's a rainy day, the power of firearms will definitely be greatly reduced." Ge Qi nodded, and then frowned again, "But this is just the idea of ​​the grassroots. I have estimated the weather recently, and it may be very difficult to expect rain in the near future." difficulty."

"Di Yi will soon take over the city we are going to attack next, and may come to attack Maocheng at any time. If we put our hopes on the weather, it may not be realistic." Lu Qi said.

Ge Qi sighed: "Indeed."

Di Yi is not stupid, he will not choose rainy days that are not conducive to him to fight against the enemy.

Ge Qi and Lu Qi fell into thinking again, while Xie Zhen looked at the sand table in silence.

There was silence in the camp for a while, and finally Chen Shu stood up and said, "Maybe I can."

"?" What was Coach Lin talking about?

Lu Qi and Ge Qi looked at Chen Shu strangely, and Xie Zhen also looked at Chen Shu in surprise, only to see that Chen Shu had already walked outside the tent and stretched out a hand.

What is he doing?Lu Qi and Ge Qi looked at each other in blank dismay.

It was cold and windy outside the camp, and it was very dry.

"Pa-ta." But just a moment after Chen Shu stretched out his hand, a bean-sized raindrop suddenly fell from the sky.

The author has something to say: Chang Ming: ...
