Chapter 202: mouth sores, depression and anger, children of the time family.

Ziling Chu closed the roster in front of him, and his face did not look good.

He had been in the primus camp for two months, and on the first day he joined the primus camp, he received an order from General Shih to move out immediately, acquiring horses along the way, the more the better, and heading to a frontier town to set up camp and recuperate.

Although there is no war in the barracks, but also can not be idle.

Ziling Chu had to work until dark every day when he opened his eyes, and he had to arrange for the training of horses, which made him smell like horse manure.

Even when a donkey was lost in the vicinity of the camp, they would come to the camp and make a fuss, saying that the Beifu Army had taken it away.

Just dealing with these barebones is enough to keep Ziling Chu on his toes.

He is thoughtful and smooth, more than ten years to deal with the noblemen and celebrities, those who deliberately come to ask for food, will not listen to him that set.

And what is even more unbearable for him is ......

"...... Senator Chu."

Another officer named Cen opened the tent and shouted to Ziling Chu, who was counting the horses, "There are not enough ink ingots in the tent, fetch some."

A primus battalion is often equipped with several counsellors, with different responsibilities. Some of them are in the tent to deliberate and praise the strategy; some of them arrange the food and straw and are in charge of miscellaneous affairs; some of them are in charge of writing the textbook and cite the good and evil, etc., etc.

When Ziling Chu was first appointed, he was shocked.

He always thought, everyone called him "Vice Admiral", he has long been a real name, but who would have thought, the foam scattered, he is still a little man of no name.

But when he was refreshed and thought that he would at least become a Makuhari army counsellor, the big man of the Black Tower, Lu Dayuan, who refused him to join the Beifu Army in the past and who is now inexplicably his superior, arranged for him to become a counsellor in charge of miscellaneous affairs!

He once heard Lu Dayuan tell the chief staff member who advised him to take care of himself, "Yes, he Ziling Chu is a popular person in front of the young general, but he is new to the army and does not know the core military affairs of our primus inter pares, so if he comes to give guidance, it is just like a blind man feeling an elephant, what can he find out? The first thing you need to do is to start with something you're familiar with, so it won't be bad. When he has an understanding of the Primus Battalion, it's not too late to raise him up."

Word for word is right, but it is also word for word disgusting.

Ziling Chu swallowed his belly full of resentment, piled up a somewhat scribbled smile, and turned around to fetch ink ingots.

On the way, he was constantly asked by junior officers for advice on miscellaneous matters, either when the next food requisition would be, or where to hold a suspected spy captured by a patrol.

It was not until he entered the military tent where the miscellaneous items were stored that he got a brief moment of peace and quiet.

After quickly fetching a side of poor quality ink ingots in a dry clutter, Ziling Chu didn't even want to go outside.

He sat down in the tent, holding his head, full of ears is still "Chu staff soldier", "Chu staff soldier" the sound of inquiry.

Ziling Chu buried his face in his palm and cursed silently.

Ziling Chu left Yun Ting and went to this border town to drink the wind and sand for more than three months.

He no longer has a kitchen to share with his son, no more clothes to change daily, no more separate sheepskin tent, and he even has to use the same roof with another senator, and all of his inner circle cultivated in the main camp and several main cities have been cut off from him.

The Prince did not explain to anyone that they should take extra care of Ziling Chu.

This is indeed the nature of the time Yun Ting, acting with panache, if the mother-in-law to explain this, instructions that, but not with his style of action.

But Ziling Chu has had a taste of what it is like to worship the high and step on the low in just two months.

A straightforward person like Lu Dayuan would not care about the son's favor and treat him like an ordinary soldier; while those who intended to patronize him, after ingratiating themselves with him for a while, found that Yun Ting had no intention to take care of Ziling Chu, they suspected that he had offended the son and was promoted to this nook and cranny to do hard work, and gradually alienated him.

Good thing, he brought the carrier pigeon with a little gray on its neck.

When he recovered, Ziling Chu fished two sheets of letterhead out of his pocket, plopped down among a pile of wooden boxes, took out a ballpoint pen, and continued writing.

His letter with Nan Southern must not be broken.

"Lord Sha Ai, Ziling has not written a letter this month, so I am here to apologize. The accidental death of General Yichun Wu was not my wish, I pray to ......"

At this point, Ziling Chu angrily put aside his pen and made a large, ink-drenched cross on the paper, then rubbed the paper hard and stuffed it into his mouth.

This hero, he was really holding his breath!

At the Battle of Fusui, he killed a hapless general who tried to escape, which was not a great achievement on the Central Plains side.

But in Nan Southern's view, they lost two cities in a row, Fusui and Weiling, losing more than 10,000 men, and a large amount of provisions fell directly into the hands of the Beifu Army, while "Ziling Chu" rose to fame after the battle, as if the success of the battle was all on his shoulders.

More importantly, the battle was indeed made possible by a letter he sent to Nan Southern himself!

Not he tipped off, a small Fusui, surrounded also surrounded, never to take in a Wei Ling, and a whole army of grain transport.

The black and white words are there, he Ziling Chu have mouth also can not say, to sort out the whole thing, it is as if he is in the outside to help the Beifu Army plot Nan Southern similar.

He used to cooperate with Nan Southern, boasting of his status as a prince, which is not with a vague control of the overall situation of superior, now such a thing, he himself feel vain, every time you put pen to letter, the wording is not consciously short head, read it yourself feel servile, heart nest fire very.

And the previous agreement to go to the letter does not return, but also to cause him sleep and food.

How will Nan Southern see himself over there?

Will they still believe in themselves?

But then the situation was urgent, that Yichun Wu timid and fearful, may not be in order to live, recruited himself to.

If you don't kill Yichun Wu, he has to die!

Ziling Chu was so distracted that he simply put down his pen, picked up his ink slips and got up to leave the tent, intending to write another letter in detail.

It had taken him nearly a decade to gain the trust of the Nan Southerners, and he could not afford to lose it!

When he left the tent, he ran head-on into Lu Dayuan's adjutant.

Ziling Chu, thinking about his mind, only gave a slight nod to the adjutant as a greeting, and then left on the wrong side of the road.

The adjutant was a little surprised.

When he first met Ziling Chu three months ago, he was clearly a young man with a lot of spirit.

At first, the adjutant was not badly impressed with Ziling Chu.

He had thought that at Ziling Chu's age, having shot a Nan Southern general with his own hands, he should be proud of himself, if not forgetful, but when he met him, the adjutant found that he did not look very cheerful, wrinkled his brow at times, and did not like to hear others boast of his achievements, and should be a modest man.

In just three months, the sand and coarse food at the border had roughened him up, causing his mouth to develop blisters. The blisters on the left corner of his lips had just dried up and formed a dark brown scab, when the right corner of his lips bulged up again and a new mouth sore bloomed in crystal.

He is preoccupied and does not like to talk to people, which is not quite in line with the rumored talkative and smiling nature.

Zhan Yuan's adjutant is notoriously soft-hearted, he shook a head, thinking, I heard that Chu senator grew up with the son since childhood, afraid that they have never been separated for such a long time.

Moreover, he was used to eating good rice and noodles, living in a good tent, suddenly fell to the frontier of the shit, and deal with a bunch of stragglers all day long, not used to it is normal.

With this in mind, he called out to Ziling Chu: "Ziling, come here."

Ziling Chu turned back.

The adjutant pulled him aside: "Not to ask you to work, it's a good thing. The news just came from the top, our primus battalion, there is a war."

Ziling Chu, who had developed a mouth full of blood blisters and ulcers as a result of his poor diet and depression, finally drew up a letter a few days later and put the pigeon into the windy sand.

A few days later.

The letter was tossed around a few times and then spread out on Sha Pa's desk.

A pair of green eyes stared at the yellowing letterhead, pupils sullen, unable to see what their owner was thinking.

Sha Pa's lieutenant was already extremely impatient: "General! Do you still want to believe his lies? My uncle and General Wu have died one after another, isn't that enough to wake you up?"

Sha Pa said coldly, "Died in battle? Yichun Wu clearly died of stupidity."

He pointed to the top of the letter and said to himself, "...... Why is he still writing to Sha Ai? Does he not know that Sha Ai is dead?"

The adjutant general felt his head was as big as a bucket: "General, with all due respect, I really don't know why you have such trust in that Ziling Chu!"

"People say that in one life they killed pigs and in another life they taught; I think I killed people in one life and taught pigs in another." Sha Pa said, "If you really don't know, just shut up. I don't have to answer to you what I think."

The adjutant had to keep his mouth shut for a moment reluctantly.

After a few moments, he still could not resist and blurted out, "Then do you want to listen to that surname Chu and withdraw from Guining?"

Sha Pa laughed coldly and asked, "Do you really believe that the Beifu Army would dare to raise a large army and cross the river to fight Guining?"

The adjutant general was slightly surprised: "You ......"

" Beifu Army fighting Guining? Guining is a natural danger, separated from the Beifu Army's own army by the Cangjiang River, one of General Muer Tie's fronts. No matter if the Beifu Army has the guts to fight us head-on, if we avoid its front and retreat before the battle, what will we say to General Muer Tie?"

"But that Ziling Chu letter is also very clear ......"

See Sha Pa so sure, the deputy general instead uneasy up: "...... said that the little thing surnamed time has secret tactics, will take advantage of the night to cross the river to capture the city, but also set the reward for your head in advance ...... "

One hundred gold, spare a string of Cangjiang River shallow specialty Wangba.

This reward frame sounds, really fire.

"Ha." Sha Pa was not angry, "A little vertical son, just a mouth to show off."

The adjutant general said, "Ziling Chu has advised us very carefully, telling us to evade his front, retreat to the eastern side of Inaccessible, merge with General Suo, make a gap and form a pocket formation, so that Yun Ting can pounce on him, and then take the opportunity to join with General Ka Ge's troops on the western side, echoing east and west to strangle the Beifu Army ......"

Sha Pa's green eyes winked wryly, "I ask you, what if Beifu Army is not here for me?"

"We and General Ka Ge of Changling City and General Suo of Inaccessible, became a mutual winged protection of the character shape, Changling City and Guining two hundred miles away, Guining and Inaccessible another hundred miles away, each other to look after each other, across the lock Cangjiang River, is an iron barrel. However, if the Beifu Army is going for Ka Ge ......"

The adjutant general suddenly realized: "Yes! The Central Plains dogs are really cunning! General Ka Ge is in the west, just upstream of the Cangjiang River, so the Beifu Army can sneak around behind them without crossing the river and take the city by surprise. The Beifu Army claims to cross the Cangjiang River, but how can they have the guts to confront us on the river! If we listen to this Chu and retreat to the nearest General Suo, won't we isolate General Ka Ge and let him break our alliance?"

The more he said, the more he felt justified: "Indeed! That Chu's name is swindling the general!"

Sha Pa, however, said, "I think Ziling Chu is indeed deluded. Someone is afraid that they are using him to deliver a false message for us."

He ignored yet another challenge from the adjutant general and lowered his eyes in contemplation.

Sha Pa still believes that Ziling Chu will never defect if there is a profit motive.

But both Sha Ai's death and Yichun Wu's death prove one thing for sure: someone is taking advantage of Ziling Chu.

Then he, why not make good use of this layer of "use", more for their own benefit?

The adjutant general said the mouth, but did not see Sha Pa on Ziling Chu's "confidence" how to waver, can only sigh: "...... General, you say, how we do. "

"If the Beifu Army wants to 'come', then 'come'. Send more spies to keep an eye on Changling City. If any Central Plains spies appear, don't alert the snake, pretend not to know and let them go back."

"I wonder if the two generals will give a word?"

Sha Pa laughed, "If I don't make the Beifu Army hurt Ka Ge, General Muer Tie won't remember the merits of my army. I will take the credit for it alone. I have a big appetite and I'm not afraid to hold it up."

Ziling Chu This piece, most likely, has been ruined, so why does he not take this ruined move and build a ladder of green clouds himself?

At the end, he laughed and said to himself, "Shi's son, the same trick, Yichun Wu hit, still want me to hit once? I'll be waiting for you with this 100 gold head."
