Chen Ci was a general who had been suppressed for many years when Luo Kuan was in charge of the Ministry of War. Everyone knew the conflict between him and Luo Kuan, but because of this, no matter what way Luo Kuan wanted to take him down, there were always a group of people standing behind him, supporting him not to fall down. Among these people, the most important one was of course the emperor.

But even so, Chen Ci had to stay on the Qin-yue border with aggrievedly and became a commander in the Qin-yue border. Although he had more than 30,000 soldiers under his command, he was relatively weak in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment. At that time, Qin-yue had always had a good relationship, and there was no war on the border, so these soldiers were naturally just decorations.

However, Luo Kuan fell and the situation suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, the Qin-Qi border was in a panic. Chen Kuan had been stationed on the Qin-Qi border for many years and was familiar with the mountains and rivers here. Naturally, he was immediately reused. His troops and horses increased rapidly, and all kinds of latest equipment and weapons were continuously transported to the army, becoming the main force to resist the Qin invasion.

With such a person on the front line and holding the most front line troops, Deng Zhong naturally doubted the possibility of Luo Yishui's success. Even Pan Hong, a subordinate of Luo Yishui, clearly would not follow him.

Chen Ci stayed on the Qinyue border for more than ten years and had a high prestige among his subordinates. Deng Zhongshi couldn't think of any way Luo Yishui could make the right-wing Chen Ci's army completely give up resistance and give Kaiping County to them.

But the conditions given by Luo Yishui are extremely attractive. Basically, Kaiping County can be obtained without any effort. In a battle, Luo Yishui will return to Yuejing. The Taiping Army of Shayang County will not miss this great opportunity, and will inevitably take the opportunity to cause trouble. The chaos in Yue is certain. After the Qin people took Kaiping County, they can still sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and wait for an opportunity to gain greater benefits. For the Qin people in the bitter and cold areas in the west, the land of the Yue people is much fertile than theirs. The Qin people have a strong army, but they are trapped in the country's economy, and they often have to vomit out the meat in their mouths, which makes everyone hold their breath. If they have the opportunity to obtain large fertile land without any sequelae, with the cohesion of the Qin people, they will make up for their biggest shortcomings.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the weather was sunny, but it seemed even colder. Because of the war, there were almost no people here. Anyone with some access and wealth had already fled to the mainland, and those who stayed were really unable to go. Most of the people who came and went to the city were soldiers in military uniforms.

The entire city, because of the existence of these soldiers, there is a more solemn atmosphere and less festive atmosphere of the New Year. Even some streets are hung with red lanterns, and some people's doors are also pasted with Spring Festival couplets.

The crisp sound of horse hooves shattered the silence of the city, and dozens of fast horses entered the city like the wind, and went straight outside the general's mansion. A general in his fifty years old turned over and dismounted, threw the reins of the horse to the guards behind him, and walked towards the mansion with great strides.

"The general is back?" The guards bowed and pushed open the vermilion gate. Chen Ci frowned, without saying a word, and walked into the house quickly.

There were many people sitting in the main room, and the dishes on the Eight Immortals table were no longer hot. When Chen Ci walked into the door, everyone in the room stood up.

Mrs. Chen, who was still charming, came over, took off the cloak behind him, and looked at him angrily: "I won't stay at home for a few days during the Chinese New Year. Look at this family, I'm waiting for you to have a meal. The dishes have been hot several times. The little babies are all hungry."

Two tightly wrapped little babies walked towards Chen Ci, spreading their hands, grandpa shouted, and Chen Ci showed some smiles on his face. He bent down and held his two grandchildren in his arms, walked to the head of the big table, sat down, and waved: "Sit, sit, sit!"

The two sons Chen Zhihua and Chen Jinhua sat down with their wives, but Mrs. Chen was busy directing the maids and maids to remove the vegetables and heat them up again. Chen Ci smiled and dipped them in the wine with chopsticks, fed them to the mouths of the two children, and let them suck.

"The children are so young, don't let them get drunk." Mrs. Chen reached out to grab the chopsticks, but Chen Ci laughed and said, "My Chen Ci's grandson will be a domineering battlefield in the future. How can this little wine make them drunk? Come and try it again."

Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Ci helplessly, but the two little guys smiled and licked, waving their hands with unfulfilled desire, and actually wanted to ask for it again.

"Father, what do you say about Dashui Xiao?" asked the eldest son Chen Zhihua.

"What else can I say? Be careful. In addition, Pan Hong's army has been transferred to Fang County again." Chen Ci glanced at him and said.

Chen Zhihua smiled, "This is guarding against Pan Hong. They have just taken down for a few days and pushed them forward. This is because they are afraid that Luo Yishui will be in trouble."

Chen Ci rolled his eyes and said, "Can you defend yourself if you don't trust Pan Hong? Since you don't trust Pan Hong, why should you use him? Since you want to use him, you can't be so suspicious. If you don't use someone, you don't use him. After all, Marshal Xiao is still a little bit arrogant."

"No wonder Mr. Xiao. After all, Luo Yishui has been taking over for many years." Chen Jinhua said.

While talking, the food was already hot, and the two wives quickly took the child out of Chen Ci's hands and carried it aside to coax it. Chen Ci stopped talking, lowered his head and ate and drank a lot.

Although he was at home, Chen Ci was still like in the army. He had already had several large bowls of rice in just a few seconds. After a pound of wine, he patted his stomach and stood up. Looking at his wife, who had not even finished a small bowl of rice, he said, "You eat it slowly! I'll go back to the study to read the Military Affairs Bureau."

"What's the best thing about the New Year? Could it be that the Qin people are just the New Year?" Mrs. Chen raised her head with some dissatisfaction: "Can't the whole family sit down and talk for a while?"

"If the Qin people also think that you think so, that's great, I'm afraid they don't think so. Once we relax, they might attack." Chen Ci said: "It's wartime now, and we are the front line here, so we can't relax at all."

Listening to Chen Ci's words, Mrs. Chen sighed, lowered her head and slid her rice. Chen Ci took a few steps and turned around to look at her two sons: "You two, you two will go back to the army tomorrow."

"Yes, father!" Chen Zhihua and Chen Jinhua stood up and said respectfully.

For this family, Chen Ci is their god, and naturally he cannot disobey what he says. Even Mrs. Chen can only complain but not change the final result. Looking at the sad expressions of the two daughters-in-law on one side, Mrs. Chen sighed heavily again. Since the war between Qin Yue, the two sons have been returning home in the past two years.

Back at the study room, Chen Ci sat in a chair, not reading the Military State Councilor as he said to his wife. This study room is a restricted area of ​​the Chen family, so even his wife and two sons were not allowed to enter the study room. Even Chen Ci did the usual cleanliness and hygiene and clean up.

After sitting for a while, Chen Ci stood up, walked to the bookshelf, held his hands on the frame of the bookshelf, and exerted a little force. The two bookshelfs that seemed to be nailed to the wall suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a shrine inside.

If someone is next to them, their eyes will definitely fall off, because the shrine is not offering gods and Buddhas, but a spiritual card, with only one name on the spiritual card, called Luo Kuan.

Everyone in the Yueting Court knew that Luo Kuan had suppressed Chen Ci for more than ten years. If it weren't for the support of the emperor and others, Chen Ci would have carried a hoe at home and dug the ground, so how could he be as imposing as leading tens of thousands of people to fight against Qin today?

Take out three incense sticks from the bottom of the shrine and ignite them. Chen Ci raised his hands above his head and bowed three times before he inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner.

"Luo Gong, Luo Yishui is still alive, which made me overjoyed. He suddenly appeared in the battle between Qi and Chu, and then disappeared. If I was not wrong, he should have come to me soon. What you said to me at the beginning, I really didn't expect it to become a reality. I was just laughing at you for being so useless, but I didn't expect it to become real." Chen Ci sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the spirit card, and slowly said.

"Mr. Luo, since you have long been prepared for the prevention, why are you powerless to resist in the Yuejing Incident? Things happened too quickly, and I could only endure it. I thought there was no one left in the Luo family. I forced myself to forget you, but I didn't expect that Luo Yishui was still alive. It's so great that we can do it again."

Chen Ci's face showed a sad look.

Outside the window, a long sigh came. Chen Ci's face suddenly changed, his wrist trembled, and a knife came out of the window like lightning, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea, silently.

With a move, the sword beside the desk had already flown into Chen Ci's hand. With a choke, the knife was unsheathed and he walked towards the window step by step.

The window was pulled open from outside, revealing a familiar and unfamiliar face.

"Luo Yishui!" With a sound of his voice, the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"Now, I'm afraid that the only one who can still give my father a stick of incense is General Chen." Luo Yishui floated into the room, gently placed the knife in his hand on the table, walked to the shrine, and knelt down with a loud bang.

"Dad, I'm back!" He kowtowed heavily, and whimpered.

Chen Ci walked over and helped Luo Yishui up from the ground: "If Mr. Luo knew that you were still alive, he would be happy in the nine springs."

Luo Yishui looked at Chen Ci and suddenly bent down deeply: "General Chen, thank you, thank you!"
