He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

Dagukou

"Hello, are you Major Chen Si?"

A young captain, gun in hand, asked,

Chen Si also saluted, took out a military handpan and handed it to the captain.

After examining it, the captain said:

"Sir, we have received orders from higher command to lead your troops to board the ship 10 li north of the dock, land in Seoul, South Korea, and then board another ship at Myeongju on the other side to proceed to your destination."

Chen Si nodded and then ordered the communications soldiers below to turn around and head north.

Just as I was about to turn around, I noticed the captain looked like he wanted to speak but didn't dare, so I asked:

"Is there anything else?"

The captain gritted his teeth and said forcefully:

"Commander Chen is determined to uphold our national prestige and teach the Soviet Union a lesson on this trip overseas."

Chen Si was amused upon hearing this.

"This trip is to bring our people back, not to fight a war."

The captain shook his head and said:

"Sir, they are hungry wolves, they can never be satisfied. The Beiyang Army was already in Haishenwei before, they seized it two years ago and even signed a 50-year peace treaty. My father died there."

"And 47 years ago, the very spot where we stand was the site of a multinational invasion and landing, where my grandfather also died in battle."

Chen Si patted the captain on the shoulder, saluted, and followed the troops northward. At the dock, a captain stood with his head down and his shoulders shaking.

Besides the howling sea breeze and the crashing waves against the rocks, there were also bursts of sobbing sounds.

"Climbing to the top to gaze upon my hometown"

"The yellow sand stretches for thousands of miles"

……

"The wind and sand cannot erase the bloodstains etched in history."

"The wind and sand cannot erase the blood and tears of the pale begonia."

……

Le Mansion in Sijiu City

"Brother Weiguo, it's been a long time!"

"Commander Yue, it's been a long time."

With a greeting from the two men, Leyou quickly stood up and hugged his two old friends.

"Haha, Yulou, Partridge Whistle welcomes you. I'll have someone bring out a table of Tan family dishes later. Let's have a good drink tonight!"

"Mulan, go and ask Master Peng to come and cook a meal."

Mulan happily ran out of the mansion, hopped on a motorcycle, and rode off into the street.

"Come on, don't stand, sit down and have a smoke first."

While Leyou greeted the two, Jingxian, who was holding Jianguo outside, also came in and went upstairs to call Huangying to make tea.

"Haha, is this my little nephew? Look what your uncle brought you!"

Chen Yulou then teased Jian Guo, pulling out a set of silver jewelry from his pocket, including a longevity lock and bracelets.

Meanwhile, Partridge Whistle took out a piece of flawless white Hetian jade from his pocket and handed it to Jingxian.

After seeing Huang Ying serve tea, Le You inquired about the two of them's recent situation.

After exchanging a glance, Chen Yulou looked at Leyou sheepishly and said:

"Brother Weiguo, the reason Partridge Whistle and I came here this time is actually to ask for a position, and of course, it would be best if it were in Beijing."

Under Leyou's persistent questioning, the two revealed the truth.

It turns out that Chen Yulou was trying to develop his escort agency. Besides women and children, even people in their seventies and eighties from Changsheng Mountain were mobilized, totaling over 7 people who started escorting goods all over the country.

Because of Leyou's reputation, the local garrisons, aside from paying a security fee, lived in relative peace. However, outside of Hunan, the surrounding mountain bandits all cursed them as traitors, leading to small battles every day and major battles every seven days.

Bandits with few guns are manageable, but those who previously colluded with the enemy not only had many guns but also cannons.

Changsheng Escort Agency also lost many shipments and suffered heavy manpower losses. They had originally gone to Zhang Qishan to borrow troops and weapons.

However, upon arriving, they discovered that the relationships within the Nine Gates were currently very tense, and Sixth Brother couldn't return due to Miss Huo's situation. Therefore, Chen Yulou was recommended to come to Beijing.

Partridge Whistle's situation was enviable, as he brought back the ancestor and broke the thousand-year curse, leading to his election as clan leader by the remaining members of his tribe.

Seeing that there were only seven or eight people left in the clan, the ancestor required everyone to marry and have children to continue the lineage. Partridge Whistle was also forced to take three wives.

Meanwhile, his ancestor was selecting wives and concubines for him from the surrounding villages, which terrified Partridge Whistle so much that his legs went weak, and his once plump figure became thin and muscular.

One day, our ancestor suddenly claimed to have sensed the whispers of prophets and priests from a hundred years ago, and went up the sacred mountain alone.

A moment later, a transparent light shield suddenly appeared on the sacred mountain, turning golden under the sunlight and enveloping the entire mountain.

A moment later, the Divine Mountain Dynasty disappeared, leaving only the roar of the Ancestor:

"Heaven's will will not tolerate this, the end of the Dharma has arrived. We will meet again when our descendants' spiritual energy revives, but their branches and leaves will not flourish. I will surely seek you out in the future."

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle fell seriously ill. After recovering, he settled his affairs and went alone to Hunan to find Chen Yulou.

After listening, Leyou nodded and said:

"I also need your help with something since you've come here today. My division is supposed to be upgraded to Class A, and I'll be forming a new regiment, with you as the regimental commander and political instructor."

I'll tell you about the mission after we eat.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle also expressed their gratitude.

After a stick of incense had burned, the two of them, seeing the delicacies on the table, were also very tempted.

After Master and Leyou started eating, the two of them also hurriedly picked up food.

After the meal, at Mulan's urging, Leyou also assigned the task to the two of them. Then Mulan took Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle to the logistics department to collect equipment, guns, and ammunition. They then assembled the special operations battalion and headed directly northwest towards the Yuan Kingdom.

Leyou watched silently as the dozen or so troop carriers left, then sighed and returned to his office.

The chubby man was already waiting inside the room.

"Sir, the telegram just arrived from the telegraph office."

Leyou nodded, sat down, and as he looked at the book, he took out his lighter to light a cigarette.

The lighter slipped from his hand with a loud "thud," startling the already tense, chubby man to his knees.

Leyou ignored him, her eyes wide as she stared at the words on the telegram:

"Our forces, having amassed considerable strength in the Northeast, have suffered heavy losses and are in danger of annihilation. In some war zones, our weapons and arrows have been exhausted. We urge all garrison troops in various regions to fortify their defenses and scorched earth, prepare for battle with all their might, and await further instructions."

A moment later, Leyou put down the telegram, leaned back wearily in his chair, and fumbled for something on his person with one hand.

Upon seeing this, the chubby man kneeling on the ground hurriedly stood up, took out a box of matches, lit Leyou's cigarette, bent down to pick up the lighter from the ground, placed it on the table next to the cigarette box, and then lowered his head and stepped aside.

One cigarette after another filled the room with smoke. The chubby man suppressed the urge to cough, breathing slowly as he awaited Leyou's instructions.

Because something big must have happened in this situation.

Half an hour later, the chubby man finally heard a hoarse voice:

"Old Bai, go and call over the remaining regimental commanders and all the other battalion commanders, and also call Jia Gui over."

The chubby man saluted and left, quietly opening the window beside him before he did.

Only Leyou, lost in thought, remained in the room, accompanied by the "crackling" sound of the flint.

After a long while, a tired, hoarse voice echoed from inside the room.

"Oh, how can I save you?"

Le You recalled Shan Chu helping him attack prisoners of war, bombard warships, and the regimental and battalion commanders who desperately fought to stop them in Hongxianglu Port.

They all traveled north from Hongxianglu Port to the northeast, but unexpectedly...

On one side are their own people, and on the other are those who helped them...

Hey……
