A majestic horse with muscular muscles, carrying a white-haired veteran with a helmet and armor, and a thin back as straight and sharp as a spear, trotted out of the Bolang Army camp.

The white-haired veteran was so old, his bones were broken, his beard and hair were falling off, and he was holding on to the chain armor, which gave people the illusion that he might be crushed by the armor at any time...

But his mental state is so indifferent, and there is a sense of strength in his indifference!

The first time Chen Sheng saw this veteran, he couldn't help but think of those poplar trees on the edge of the desert...

No introduction is needed.

The first time he saw this veteran, Chen Sheng knew that he was Lian Po.

One of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period in another time and space, and one of the two generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty in this time and space... Lian Po!

Lian Po rode out of the camp to accept the invitation.

Chen Sheng also took the initiative to land three miles away from the camp to show his sincerity.

After the two of them were within ten feet of each other, Chen Sheng stopped and took the initiative to clasp his fists in greeting and said, "Chen Sheng of the Han Dynasty has met General Lian."

Lian Po dismounted and returned the salute with a serious look and cupped his fists: "Lian Po of the Bolang Army has met General Chen."

After the ceremony, Lian Po was the first to speak: "Speaking of which, I have wanted to meet with General Chen for a long time and thank General Chen in person for his righteousness in sending troops to support our Bolang Army. Today I finally got my wish."

"General Lian has said it."

Chen Sheng shook his head slightly, unwilling to take the credit: "We, the people of the Han Dynasty, are also the sons and daughters of the Nine Provinces, and we also have the responsibility to protect our homes and the country. The barbarians from Baiyue invaded our borders. Since our Han Dynasty has spare power, we should shoulder the unshirkable responsibility."

"Furthermore, didn't your army also support my Red Army with a batch of military rations? Speaking of which, I should be the one thanking General Lian for his righteousness!"

Lian Po smiled and stroked his beard, nodded and said: "General Chen is young, but he can take on such a responsibility. I am not as good as me!"

Yes or no, he has a strong balance in his mind.

We are both sons and daughters of Kyushu, and we have the same responsibility to protect our home and country?

Then you have to ask the Taiping Taoists whether they agree with this statement, and ask them whether they thought that they were also from Kyushu when they colluded with Baiyue to invade Kyushu and killed the people of Kyushu.

Sometimes, a person's character really depends on his peers...

Chen Sheng clasped his fists: "General Lian is too praised!"

After the greetings, Chen Sheng got straight to the point: "To be honest, General Lian, I took the liberty to come here today to seek confirmation from General Lian. I have no other intention of verifying this matter. I just want to have a 'peace of mind'. General Lian can

Answer, or you don’t have to answer!”

Lian Po's hand stroking his beard paused, and he actually smiled and said proactively: "General Chen wants to ask for proof, but the imperial court ordered me, the Bolang Army, to send troops to attack the Han Dynasty?"

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Lian Po not only did not shy away from this matter, he even dared to mention it on his own initiative.

After he pondered for a few breaths, he tentatively asked, "So General Lian has heard about it a long time ago?"

Lian Po nodded lightly: "Wang Ling, who ordered my Bolang Army to divide its troops and go north, had been sent to my handsome case two months ago."

Chen Sheng asked in confusion: "Why did General Lian say this to me?"

Lian Po said with a smile: "General Chen, isn't he here to verify this matter?"

Chen Sheng was a little confused and thought to himself: 'I came here for this, but I didn't expect you to tell me so openly!'

He was thinking this in his mind, but he still smiled calmly on his face and said: "So, it is a foregone conclusion that your army will divide its forces to attack the Han Dynasty, right?"

Lian Po looked at him and said calmly: "Then if I say that the foreign barbarians are looking ahead, our Bolang Army will not divide our troops to participate in the internal strife in Kyushu, can General Chen be trusted?"

"Of course I don't believe it!"

Chen Sheng shook his head without hesitation: "No matter what the old general says, the defense that our Han court should deploy will not miss a single soldier!"

After hearing this, Lian Po's face showed surprise for the first time: "General Chen doesn't believe what I say, so what's the point of coming here?"

Chen Sheng looked directly at him, solemnly clasped his fists and said: "I, Chen Sheng, respect all the frontier soldiers who sacrificed their lives, shed their blood, and endured the hardships of guarding the country in order to protect their homeland. I really do not want to fight with your army, and now you and I

The two armies are fighting side by side with their front legs, but if they are facing each other with their back legs, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the brothers under their command..."

"Of course, you and I each have their own armies. I have no position to advise General Lian. Whether we send troops or not is up to General Lian!"

"I came here just to hear the truth from General Lian. Even if your army wants to obey the king's order and divide its troops to attack the Han Dynasty, I can understand it, but I only want General Lian to tell the truth... For the sake of you and our armies standing side by side.

On the friendship of defending against enemies!"

He really didn't want to fight the Bolang Army.

But if the Bolang Army took the initiative to start a war with him, then he would have no sense of guilt.

No matter how great and noble you are, there is no way I can stretch my neck and wait for you to chop me down, right?

Lian Po looked at him with interest: "Then you haven't thought that I might lie to you?"

Chen Sheng: "I have already said that no matter what General Lian says, I will never lose a single soldier in the defense that should be deployed. Whether General Lian lies or deceives me will not affect the overall situation. It will only affect your army and ours."

friendship!"

"Good on you little baby!"

Lian Po suddenly laughed out loud, stroking his beard and speaking in a strong Jingxiang dialect: "You actually threatened my old man!"

Chen Sheng only understood the word "threat", but from Lian Po's smile, it was not difficult for him to guess what Lian Po said.

He immediately replied with a smile: "It's not a threat. To be more precise, it should be 'don't say you're unprepared'."

"Little baby, you are not old, but you are very clever!"

Lian Po shook his head helplessly, and then said seriously: "Then I just want to say one thing, as long as there is still a Baiyue barbarian standing on the territory of Kyushu, as long as a certain family is still alive, our Bolang Army will never divide its troops.

Go north!"

This is a serious statement.

It’s too absolute.

It sounds like a lie.

But Chen Sheng realized that he had already spoken to this extent, and there was no need for Lian Po to use such firm words to deceive him again!

This will not do any good to his Bolang Army. On the contrary, once the Bolang Army breaks its promise and divides its troops to go north, it will only completely hate the Han court.

Chen Sheng felt that even a few vague and perfunctory words from Lian Po were more appropriate than such firm words. After all, this was the king's order of the Zhou Dynasty. Disobeying the king's order would not be possible unless he was determined to rebel.

Who can guarantee the ticket?

But Lian Po just said it for this reason!

After Chen Sheng thought about it for several seconds, he suddenly had an idea.

I see!

He sincerely clasped his fists and said: "In this way, it is true that I use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman."

Lian Po looked at him with a smile, not hiding the admiration in his eyes: "You are not a villain if you can figure this out so quickly."

Chen Shengyi smiled lightly and said, "It made the old general laugh."

They both turned around and looked at the rolling green mountains in the south. Lian Po sighed: "This man is nostalgic when he is old. I often think of it recently. When Gao Tang sent me off to leave home, I told my old mother ambitiously.

, I served as general for three years, took command for five years, and pacified southern Xinjiang at the age of ten and returned to my hometown with honor!"

"In the blink of an eye, Gao Tang has been waiting for me in Sangzi for eighty years. I still can't see the time to return home, and I don't know if I can still find my way back home..."

Listening to his old and heavy sigh, Chen Sheng's nose suddenly became sore, and his eyesight became much blurred.

He smiled nonchalantly and said: "Old general, with his achievements and reputation, there is no need for the old general to remember the journey back home. The elders of Sangzi will beat gongs and drums, and wear red and colorful colors to welcome the old general back home!"

Lian Po looked at him deeply and said meaningfully: "Then let me borrow General Chen's good words."

Chen Sheng pursed his lips and pretended not to understand the meaning of his words. Zuo Gu said: "Speaking of which, what is the state of the old general? Why is it that I am so close to the old general that I can't feel the warmth of the old general?

Traces of the movement of zhenqi and zhenyuan?"

Lian Po shook his head slightly in a relaxed tone and said: "I am practicing pure military skills. I am not practicing martial arts at the same time. I have no real energy and energy, so naturally you can't feel it."

Chen Sheng looked him up and down in surprise: "Does the military strategist's method also have the effect of prolonging life?"

Lian Po glanced at him and said with a smile: "You are not my military disciple, so what's the use of asking?"

After saying that, he turned around and mounted his horse, waved his hand and said: "I'm tired, let's go back to the camp to rest... General Chen will come back next time. There is no need to make such a big show. If you have other things to do, you can find Cao Wujiu. If you have anything important, you can write a letter."

, I will keep my appointment!"
