The strongest investment emperor

Chapter 182 Bloody, Setting Sun
After the veteran died, Chu Huan changed. He was no longer afraid or timid. He picked up the saber and became the one who rushed to the front in every battle.

Every time he charged, he would recall in his mind the words the veteran said before he died, the words that changed him.

"The country is not established, and the family is in trouble!"

……

Before he knew it, Chu Huan was fighting on the battlefield, and he had long forgotten the cold winter and heat. He only knew that he should kill the enemy, for himself, for his parents, for Cheng'er, for the veterans, and for those worthy of his care.

Chu Huan's bravery on the battlefield gradually became known to everyone. He was promoted by his superiors and became a captain, but it was still the same, he was still the one who rushed to the front.It is also true that he is very popular with the soldiers.

After a few years, Chu Huan was no longer that boy, his face was no longer immature, but only vicissitudes and a shocking scar.

The scar was on his right cheek, from the temple to the chin, twisted and meandering, lying on it like a centipede, making people shudder!

Soldiers have always worshiped the strong, and this scar is the symbol of Chu Huan becoming a strong one.

This scar was caused by Chu Huan being attacked by an enemy during a battle. Although he had just emerged from the shadow of the veteran's death at that time and started to fight with a knife, after all, he lacked combat experience and was attacked by others. Shame on such a hand.

However, even though he was bullied, Chu Huan still bore the severe pain on his face, killed the enemy, and then continued to kill the enemy with his comrades. After the battle, he returned to the camp with the army.

When the military doctor bandaged him afterwards, he couldn't help but sigh, how strong is his will?You can fight on the battlefield for several hours with such severe pain!

After the military doctor's exclamation, after Chu Huan's comrades chatted with others in the tea room, Chu Huan's name suddenly became known to the whole army, and it was officially like this, he appeared in the eyes of the upper-level generals.

……

The north wind howled, the yellow sand rolled, and the blood flowed into rivers. The smell of sand and blood in the air was suffocating.

On the horizon in the distance, a blood-colored setting sun hangs in the sky, reflecting the sky into a blood-red color. The entire sky is blood-colored, as if it has been washed by fresh blood.

On a hill not far from the plain, an army was setting up camp. The curling smoke, the neighing of horses, and the chirping of cicadas all told of the unusualness of this place.

Chu Huan came out from the command tent, sighed slightly, looking at the depleted army, for some reason, felt a little sad in his heart.

In the previous commander's tent, more than a dozen school captains were arguing, should they surrender or continue to resist stubbornly?

They have been here for three days. The NMG army launched six attacks in three days. Although it was not a life-and-death struggle and they must capture them, it also made them very tired.

They don't have much food and grass, and it will last for three more days at most. If no one comes to support them by then, then even if the Mongolian army cannot break through their defense, they will starve to death here.

It's not that they haven't thought about a surprise attack, but the Mongolian army's strength is more than three times theirs. Is it so easy to break through there?Especially the Mongolian army has a lot of cavalry, which is simply unrealistic!
That's why the scene of the quarrel in the commander's tent happened. Chu Huan naturally would rather die than surrender, but he is just a new captain, and he is soft-spoken. Except for the general who is willing to listen to him, other people's words to him are basically Just scoff at it and ignore it at all!

Chu Huan didn't like to quarrel with them, so he apologized to the general, and then came out.

After Chu Huan got out of the command tent, he walked aimlessly in the barracks, and the soldiers who saw him would give him a military salute with solemn expressions.

Chu Huan came to the kitchen unknowingly. A soldier who was cutting vegetables saw Chu Huan coming. He didn't put down his words. He immediately straightened his body and gave Chu Huan a military salute. He shouted loudly: "Hello, Lieutenant Chu!" "

Hearing his voice, Chu Huan raised his head and smiled slightly, nodded, then continued walking with his head down.

The soldier next to him who was still washing vegetables was a little surprised when he saw the veteran's sudden salute to the army. You must know that when the other captains came to him, he just barely shouted, let alone such a solemn face, so the soldier turned himself question asked.

Hearing what he said, the veteran in the kitchen chuckled: "You don't know that! Lieutenant Chu is a celebrity in our army. It is said that he is only 23 years old, and he is the youngest captain here."

The recruit was a little puzzled, and said in bewilderment, "You're just young, why are you so dignified?"

When the veteran in the kitchen heard the recruit's disrespect for Chu Huan, he didn't give him any face at all. He just started cursing.

Then he started to say angrily: "You know nothing! If it weren't for the fact that you are a new recruit, I would probably be able to scold you for half the time. Colonel Chu is not young, and his name is not bragging. Yes, it was made through hard work. You don’t know that in this army, as long as you have a brigade career of two or three years, then you must have been favored by Colonel Chu, and even had your life saved by the Colonel. of."

"But in fact, the captain didn't have that much military merit in terms of military merits alone, but there were so many people who couldn't bear to support him! He directly brushed off a few veterans, and that's why he became the captain. Because he became a captain at such a young age, there are many people who disagree with him, especially those veterans and some old captains who were dismissed by him, who often find fault with him. Fortunately, the captain is an enlightened person. People, I seldom get angry with them, but brothers can't see it! Some people led people to make trouble, and were finally suppressed by the general, but those captains became even more jealous when they saw the influence of the captain. , so the life of the captain is actually not easy. He fights on the battlefield during the day, and fights with those captains when he returns to the barracks at night."

After the kitchen veteran finished speaking, he sighed slightly!It seemed that he was fighting for Chu Huan's injustice.

……

Chu Huan didn't hear what he said, maybe if he heard it, he would feel a little comfort in his heart!

Chu Huan continued walking and returned to his tent. Outside the tent, there was a soldier standing there meticulously, staring into the distance with bright eyes, waiting for Chu Huan's return.

When Chu Huan saw him, he smiled warmly, but because of the scars on his face, his smile was no longer as gentle as it used to be. What was left now was just ferocious.

When Xiao Fei saw Chu Huan's smile, a smile appeared on his face. He had never felt that there was anything more beautiful than Chu Huan's smile.

He was also forcibly captured. He almost died during the first battle. If Chu Huan hadn't saved him, he might be a dead bone now, so he was very grateful to Chu Huan, and later became Chu Huan Chu Huan's personal soldiers are on the front and rear of Chu Huan.

Chu Huan looked at Xiao Fei, just like himself at that time. It was his first time on the battlefield, and he was so at a loss. Looking at the charging enemy, his legs trembled, and he couldn't even lift the knife in his hand.

Fortunately, when Chu Huan was most confused and helpless, a veteran led him out of the predicament and taught him many things that he could not learn in the Four Books and Six Classics. Now he will give these things to this boy, hoping One day, he can realize the dream of a veteran!
Chu Huan raised his head, looked at the bloody setting sun in the distance, and murmured, "It's been almost five years? Veteran, how are you? I can't fulfill your dream, I'm really tired!"

Xiaofei didn't notice Chu Huan's strangeness, but asked a question that he was more concerned about now, and it was also a question that Chu Huan was more concerned about.

"Brother Chu, what did the general say? Should we continue to fight or stick to it?"

Hearing Xiao Fei's question, Chu Huan shook his head, "Maybe it's fighting! Or maybe it's sticking to it. It all depends on which of the school captains has better eloquence, and can convince others."

"Brother Chu, isn't there a final verdict yet?"

"Yes!"

"Then why are you back, Brother Chu? Don't you continue to argue with them? If you weren't here, the general would probably be inclined to surrender in the end." Xiaofei was very puzzled, why did Brother Chu come back now?

Chu Huan did not answer his words, but said sternly: "Xiao Fei, no matter what, you have to remember that this is our land, this is our country. Before the country is established, you will be in trouble!"

After Chu Huan finished speaking, he dragged himself into the tent, leaving Xiao Fei at a loss.

……

In the commander's tent, the general was at the top of the list, staring at the dozen or so captains below.

"I'm here to ask you to think of countermeasures. I want you to come up with a perfect solution that can ensure the safety of my seven thousand brothers. I'm not asking you to quarrel here. Do you have to figure out what is right and what is wrong? ?”

Although the general's voice did not fluctuate much, everyone knew that he was on the verge of rage at this time, but he had not yet exploded.

Of the dozen or so lieutenants, only Chu Huan is probably more popular with the general. The others no longer have the arrogance of the past, and they are afraid to lead troops in battle. They dare not even go into battle to kill the enemy. What else can they talk about of.

One of the school lieutenants, who was older than the general, clasped his fists and said, "General, there are still troops in Xiangyang Prefecture, we can ask them for help."

As soon as this remark came out, someone immediately refuted: "Captain Hao, we have sent so many scouts to ask for help before, but what happened? After so many days, there is still no army to rescue us. It's not that they didn't receive The letter from the scouts simply gave up on us, after all, how close this place is to the base camp of the Mongolian army, I guess they are afraid to come and join us when they come to us!"

"You..." Hearing his words, the old captain pointed at him angrily. How could he speculate on his compatriots like this?
At this time, another captain took his hand, motioned him not to get angry, and then said to the general: "General, why don't we send someone to try it out? As long as we hurry up, we can go back and forth in two days. By then In any case, at least there will be a result, and we can make plans again. After all, our food can last for three days, and I think the Mongolian army seems to want to trap us and wait for work. At this time, there is not much desire to fight. I guess we can make it through.”

The lieutenant is still very pleasant, the general nodded, "Xu Biao, do you have any candidates to recommend? After all, this is not an easy matter, and the Mongolian army will definitely meet you on the way. Maybe those scouts before The Mongolian army intercepted and killed him."

The school lieutenant named Xu Biao shook his head, "General, I haven't thought of any suitable candidates yet. After all, it is really difficult. If you leave the barracks, you will fight alone. If you really meet the Mongolian army, you will have to fight with your back." .”

The captain who had opposed Captain Hao before heard Xu Biao's words, his eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly suppressed it, then coughed, cupped his fists and said: "General, I think Chu Huan is fine. He has experienced many battles, is brave and resourceful. What's more important is the deep love of the brothers, and he is more encouraged to lead, so I think that as long as Captain Chu goes there, he will be able to succeed immediately and bring the gospel!"

As soon as he said this, many people changed their colors instantly. This is going to kill Chu Huan!In the past, everyone used to play small fights and ridicule each other before the battle, but the fierce quarrel between Chu Huan and him in the military tent before, it was obvious that he was already murderous!
When several captains who were good friends with Chu Huan heard this, they quickly persuaded him, saying that Chu Huan was young and energetic and was not suitable to entrust such a life-and-death matter to him.

But the general who usually seemed to like Chu Huan didn't know what kind of drug he had taken at this time. He knew that this was a trap, a party struggle, and he wanted to get rid of Chu Huan, but he actually agreed.

"Okay! Just as Zeng Ming said, I will go find Chu Huan myself, and you can disperse on your own!"

After saying that, he got up and went straight to Chu Huan's tent.

When the people who helped Chu Huan persuaded him saw the general leave, their faces darkened. On the contrary, the group of captains headed by Zeng Ming had a happy smile on their faces!
