Chapter 56: Befriend Cheng Pu(1/2)

In the Battle of Luzhuang, the rebels' fierce offensive was finally repelled, and the Guangling Army won the final victory. However, when the Guangling soldiers and the rebel soldiers cheered, the young black-feathered crows were not happy at all, because their direct subordinate Shangguan and Dubo Lu Min, who had been with them for many days, were killed in this battle.

"Cheng realized it was too late, I'm very sorry..."

Cheng Pu, the actual leader of the Chili Army, conveyed regretful apology to the young Black Feather Crows, because even he had mistakenly thought that this was just a small force of the rebels' forces at night. He never expected that the rebel general Gong Feng would have the courage to put all his troops into the battlefield. After all, there would be various uneasy factors at night due to the restriction of vision. If these uneasy factors gathered in small amounts, it would not be guaranteed to be a change that would change the battle situation between the two armies. As for when Cheng Pu realized that the situation was wrong, it was not until he heard that Chen Qi, the commander general, had withdrawn from the battlefield under the protection of his soldiers.

At that time, Cheng Pu realized that the situation might have had an unexpected change, so he immediately called on the nearby rebels to come to help the Guangling Army, which was almost collapsed at that time to cheer up the Guangling Army. Finally, after General Yang Qi led the other half of his troops to arrive, he finally struggled to repel the rebels after a hard battle.

"What is Uncle Cheng saying?" Even Zhang Huang, the leader of their Black Feather Crow, seemed to have no intention to reply. He just stared at Dubo Lu Min's body. Shan Fu sighed slightly in his heart and said gratefully to Cheng Pu, "If Uncle Cheng had not led the Chili Army and many other rebel heroes to support him, we would have probably been defeated in this battle."

"Uncle..." Cheng Pu, who was full of beard, had a trance for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. He murmured like a self-deprecating person.

"Haha, hehe...Uncle...yes. He's thirty..."

Cheng Pu, who is only two years older than Sun Jian, seems to have become a little pale. However, looking at Zhang Huang and others, the group of white-faced heroes, Cheng Pu, who is thirty years old, can only grit his teeth and tears to abide by this title.

"Sadness and reconciliation!" Cheng Pu patted Zhang Huang on the shoulder.

In this era, death seems to be commonplace, especially on the battlefield. Who can guarantee that you will see the bright sun tomorrow? This is especially true for Cheng Pu, who is knowledgeable. He is a little worried that young heroes like Zhang Huang cannot bear this blow.

Facts have proved that Cheng Pu's concerns were overly concerned, and no one else did anything out of line. Sometimes, he only needs to keep his feelings in his heart.

But this does not mean that Zhang Huang can stay out of it and stay calm.

"Uncle Cheng. That Yuan Han..."

Seeing Zhang Huang's gaze coming, Cheng Pu couldn't help but feel a little confused because of the uncle. He took a breath and said with a wry smile, "There are such powerful generals in the rebels, which is really beyond Cheng's expectations. Cheng originally thought he could keep this person, but... I'm sorry, but in the end he let him escape safely."

It is to escape, not escape. Cheng Pu, who does not like to exaggerate, implicitly pointed out Yuan Han's strength.

Unfortunately, Zhang Huang did not seem to understand Cheng Pu's obscure reminder and nodded silently, which made Cheng Pu feel a little worried.

He was very optimistic about these brave young men. He did not want them to break their wings in their youthful period when their wings were not yet full. Simply put, Cheng Pu did not think that if Zhang Huang and others came to Yuan Han, they would have some chance of winning.

Only evil birds can fly freely in the vast sky. And the eagle is best to stay in a safe nest and wait for a day with full wings one day. This is by no means cowardice, but wisdom.

That's what Cheng Pu thinks.

Just as he was thinking about how to persuade these boys who didn't speak but could see the strong murderous intent in their eyes at a glance, Chen Dao's angry voice suddenly rang.

"What are you doing?!"

Cheng Pu subconsciously turned his head and looked at him in shock when he saw the commander general of Luzhuang who had fought before. Under the escort of two soldiers, the deputy general Chen Qi came down to the residence where they were. Chen Dao actually grabbed Chen Qi's clothes with an indignant look on his face.

"presumptuous!"

"A little soldier, you are so brave!"

The two soldiers behind Chen Qi were shocked to see that Chen knew that the soldier was so rude. They grabbed the clothes of their general. They were shocked and angry and asked.

However, Chen Qi changed his previous hostility towards Zhang Huang and others, and ignored Chen Dao's rudeness. He did not even raise his hand to break free. He just looked at the body of Lu Min placed on the wooden board in the house with his eyes lost sight, and whispered, "I...I want to see Lu Min...well, Uncle Lu."

"Hey!" Li Tong snorted heavily from the side, and put on a ridiculous expression on his face and was about to express sarcasm, but suddenly someone in the room said in a deep voice, "Ah, trillion, get out of here!"

"Boss?" Chen Dao and Li Tong looked at Zhang Huang who was standing next to Lu Min's body in surprise. They opened their mouths and finally retreated to both sides and made a way for Chen Qi to pass.

Chen Qi did not thank him either, but dragged his seriously injured body to the body of Lu Min, staring at the life-saving benefactor who died on the battlefield because of saving him and cutting his back for him.

"You said, why did he save me?"

Chen Qi asked as if he was talking to himself.

"Who knows!" Zhang Huang replied with a snorted lightly. There is no doubt that he had no fondness for the general who had caused their 26-point 100-man team to be almost wiped out. He just asked Li Tong and Chen Dao to move out of the way because Lu Min had tried his best to save this person. That's all.

"Maybe I think if you died in battle at that time, it would have a serious blow to the morale of my Guangling Army..."

"Yes." Chen Qi sighed, as if he had accepted the answer. Then there was a silence that lasted for dozens of breaths.

After a long time, Chen Qi took a deep breath, and the desolate expression on his face gradually closed, and he said firmly, "Okay! OK! Good! Good to die!"

"What did you say?!" Li Tong and Chen Dao, who were irritated, changed his expression when they heard this. They lifted up their sleeves and seemed to interrupt Chen Qi to see him, but they were stopped by the calm Zang Ba and Taishi Ci. Because except for Chen Dao, who was strongly hostile to Chen Qi, Li Tong, everyone else could hear the praise and regret contained in Chen Qi's words.

"I died on the battlefield for the righteousness of the army. This is the place where my Guangling soldiers die! I die! Even if I die, I am honored! This wisp of loyal and heroic souls will protect us and will never dissipate!" Ignoring Chen Dao, Li Tong's hostile eyes. Chen Qi said something praise enthusiastically, and only heard Li Tong and Chen Dao look surprised, and he wondered in his heart that Chen Qi was completely different from the previous one.

Finally, Chen Qi turned his attention to Zhang Huang.

"It is said that you are the deputy of Lu Min?"

The deputy in the army is the deputy, and the general term for the deputy general is a relatively written and formal statement.

"Yes! The first one is the best, Zhang Huang!" Zhang Huang replied without being arrogant or humble.

"Well!" Chen Qi looked up and down at Zhang Huang a few times, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Lu Min's high righteousness and enlightenment. I asked Chen to completely change your twenty-six accounts. I hope you don't insult some of the things he has tried to change, Zhang Bochang."

"Bo Zhang?"

"Bo Chang?" Chen Dao and Li Tong looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces.

Even Zang Ba, Taishi Ci, Shan Fu and others were a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huang would be promoted under such circumstances. You should know that it would take at least two or three years for ordinary people to survive from a soldier to a boss.

This is simply a rare thing!

However, Zhang Huang's expression was still dull, and he was even angry, "What does Master General mean? You saved Master General, but Uncle Lu!"

I don’t know if it was because of seeing through Zhang Huang’s thoughts, Chen Qi regained his usual pride, narrowed his eyes and said seriously, “Wrong! Uncle Lu saved only the highest commander Chen Qi at that time. Not me, Chen Qi! Put the overall situation first and do not stick to personal grievances. This is where Chen praised him. Don’t misunderstand it!”

Zhang Huang was slightly stunned, and then he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something.

Because Chen Qi pointed out that Lu Min did not rescue him because of pleasing or other purposes, but because Chen Qi was the commander general of the Guangling Army at that time. If he was killed by an enemy general, it would inevitably affect the morale of the entire army. One is for personal gain and the other is for public gain. Although it is the same action, it is completely different concepts.

[This guy…]

Zhang Huang looked at Chen Qi with a slight distracted look on his face. He felt a little fond of this person and said lightly, "I won't thank you for this!"

"Hmph!" Unexpectedly, Chen Qi's attitude was worse than Zhang Huang, and he said coldly, "I will not care about Lu Min's old love and tolerate you. If you do not do well, please replace it immediately!" After that, he snorted heavily, turned around and left, leaving Chen Dao in the room, Li Tong, Taishi Ci, Zang Ba, Shan Fu and others stared at each other, becoming more and more unpredictable.

"What's the situation? Can that guy bear to say this to him?" Chen Dao shook his head and kept muttering that he couldn't understand or see through it.

But beside him, Li Tong was thinking about another thing.

"So... our boss is already a uncle?"

"It seems." Zang Ba and Taishi Ci looked at each other and shrugged.

"Then... wouldn't that mean we're going to be a good person?" Li Tong's eyes suddenly became bright. After hearing his words, Chen Dao, Zang Ba, Shan Fu and Taishi Ci also became interested. A group of people gathered together and chatted endlessly. At least it was because of the happy event that it was a bit sad because of the death of Lu Min.

"He is a good general!" Cheng Pu, who had been standing aside without saying anything for a long time, stood beside Zhang Huang at some point and asked curiously, "Do you have any grudges with him?"

Zhang Huang briefly told the story. Cheng Pu stroked the big beard with a thick chin and shook his head and said, "No! Cheng Mouguan Chen Qi is a general with a good character, so he will not stumbling on you. It is very likely that you offended him first..."

I have to say that Cheng Pu is worthy of being a knowledgeable person. Although he does not know the truth, he can roughly guess it.

"This is it..." Zhang Huang frowned slightly, but after looking at Lu Min's body, he chose to bury this thought in his heart instead of asking Chen Qi. After all, Chen Qi had just expressed his past intentions in obscurity, and there was no need to ask again, both parties were unhappy. Sometimes, people should know what to say.

The funerals in the army are very simple to handle. After all, the military is in short supply and there is no funeral for the people. Therefore, after paying attention to Lu Min's body, Zhang Huang and others carried Lu Min, who had already washed away, out of the wooden board for cremation. The ashes were put into a wooden box.

Although the dead are concerned about being buried in peace, this place is not Lu Min's hometown in the end. Therefore, Zhang Huang and others could only temporarily keep Lu Min's urn carefully, and ask those soldiers who left the team who were incomplete to bring Lu Min's ashes back to Guangling County with the ashes of other soldiers who died. They hope that after the war, the Guangling government will send the ashes of these soldiers and the pensions issued by the government to the respective hometowns of the sacrificed soldiers and hand them over to their relatives.

"The Tiger of Hailing" Lu Min, the elite Guangling Army chief who initially impressed the 26-tent 100-man team with thunder and also taught Zhang Huang and others military knowledge, was finally in the war with the rebels. This was something Zhang Huang and others never expected before, because they felt that a powerful boss like Lu Min could not fail in the fight with the rebels. In fact, an elite boss like Lu Min was not the only one on the list of deaths in the Guangling Army these days.

The only special thing about Lu Min is probably that he has a half-baked Taoist priest like Zhang Huang who knows how to draw talismans. At least he knows how to burn a few pieces of yellow paper, which makes the quiet frivolous thing look a little more formal.

It has to be said that the cruel facts on the battlefield made the young Black Feather Crows understand that they are too weak, too weak, too weak to save the robes that were sacrificing in front of them.

[If you have the strength like Uncle Cheng Pu, you might be able to save it, right?]

Seeing Zhang Huang holding a sharp sword in his hand, wielding his sword to burn talismans in the field, gods and ghosts were not sure what they were doing. After watching Lu Min's body on the fire for a long time, the young black-feathered crows looked at Cheng Pu, who fell in love with them at first sight. The uncle named Cheng Pu, who seemed to be targeted by some ferocious beast.

Sure enough, after Lu Min's funeral, Cheng Pu was indeed surrounded by the newly promoted Zhang Huang Bocheng and several newly promoted soldiers under his command. The young black-feathered crow heroes asked Cheng Pu for the so-called advanced martial arts skills, which forced Cheng Pu to sweat.

"Uh... using a sword? The only way to break the rigid body with a sword is to cut iron, but Cheng can't kill iron..." Seeing Zhang Huang and Shan Fu's disappointment mixed with contempt, even if Cheng Pu, who defeated the mighty general Yuan Han, was still amused and crying at this moment.

Li Tong, Chen Dao and Zang Ba were smiling. After all, they used guns as their main weapon, but they were good at gunpoint techniques. Li Tong and Zang Ba were both pursuing domineering and powerful heavy guns, while Chen Dao was inclined to be agile. Unfortunately, he still had a grudge against Chen Qi. Otherwise, with his superb spear skills, Chen Qi was a good teacher who could make Chen Dao's martial arts soar. Of course, the premise was that Chen Qi was willing to teach, but seeing that Chen Qi had a dead face all day, Chen Dao obviously did not want to beg him in a low voice.

Although Cheng Pu is proficient in snake spears, he also practiced through shooting skills. Therefore, Chen Dao, Li Tong and Zang Ba can indeed get a lot of help from Cheng Pu, which is definitely an opportunity for their martial arts career.

That's right. Even Taishi Ci, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but feel a little jealous and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Cheng Pu, do you know how to arch skills?"

"Uncle..." Cheng Pu was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a wry smile on his face, "Hey, hey, little kid, do you think there will be something similar to other things in martial arts? Cheng Pu is only thirty years old! Is it better to be only ten years older than you?" He mentioned his age obscurely, mostly hoping that a few little kids could change his words and call him big brother or something.

Unfortunately, the few little kids did not guess the little hope in Cheng Pu's heart. Amid the uncle's call, Taishi Ci turned against the bow technique without any nerve and joined the team of Li Tong and others in learning gunshots.

"Aren't you a archer?" Cheng Pu only felt bitter in his mouth. After all, if one more professor's partner is the responsibility on his shoulders, he doesn't want to mislead his children.

Taishici's explanation is that it is always beneficial to learn more skills and learn more weapons.

He gave a few more examples, such as Li Tong and Chen Dao. In addition to guns, swords are also weapons they are used to using; for example, Zang Ba, who has a set of boxing skills besides guns. Since that is the case, what happened to him, Taishi Ci, who learned guns? There was no direct conflict with bow techniques. In the future, if he encountered a powerful enemy that bows and arrows could not deal with, he could defeat the enemy with his powerful gun techniques.

Cheng Pu was speechless, so he simply gave up. He took the initiative to ask Zhang Huang and Shan Fu if they also wanted to learn gun skills. After all, teaching four is also teaching. Teaching six is ​​also teaching. There is no big difference in the number of students.

However, Zhang Huang and Shan Fu's answers were almost so angry that Cheng Pu was blowing his beard.

"No! My goal is a hero who has a reputation throughout the world! To be a hero, you must use a sword!" Zhang Huang rejected Cheng Pu's kindness with a stern aura, and Cheng Pu was so angry that he wanted to ask: Why did the gun provoke you? Why can't you become a hero with a gun? Yue Jian, Nian Jian, a gun for a lifetime, do you know?! The gun is the most difficult and unpredictable among all soldiers!

After thinking about it, he thought about it again and again, and felt that even Zhang Huang might not understand it even if he talked about these things, so he turned to ask Shan Fu, "What about you?"

Shan Fu's answer was not much better than Zhang Huang, and Cheng Pu rolled his eyes even though he was angry.

"Gun?" Shan Fu showed an unconscionable expression. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "Xiaosheng is the military advisor of the Black Feather Crow. He is naturally graceful and elegant. How can he hold a gun and fight against the enemy like them? This damages the elegance of our military advisor. Speaking of elegance, he is naturally the first sword to recommend the head of the hundreds of soldiers! This is the king's way!"

[Go to your kingly way! Hell!]

Seeing that Dan Fu was feeling good about himself, Cheng Pu rolled his eyes. He had already felt that these little ghosts had a strange personality and finally understood it a little.

He shook his head with a wry smile. Cheng Pu said in a deep voice, "Every weapon has tricks to restrain rigid bodies, but Cheng Pu only knows the 'gun penis' in marksmanship. As for the 'iron cutting' in swords, Cheng Mou won't... Don't rush to despise me!" Zhang Huang, Shan Fu and the others rolled their eyes when they showed contempt and disappointed expressions. Cheng Pu continued, "If you choose a knife, Cheng Pu can recommend one to you, that is the real leader of my Chili Army. But since you have chosen a sword... um. Those who use swords should recommend that one to me!"
To be continued...
