Chief Qian arrived at the city gate on horseback, being cheered by a large group of officers. Naturally, Chief Gu and other senior officers came forward to greet him, but Zhou Wen would not join in the fun. He just watched Chief Gu, Chief Qian and Zhang from a distance.
Sir, a group of big guys are chatting and joking. It can be seen that these big guys are in high spirits.
This southern battle can be said to be Chief Qian’s proud work. Although Zhou Wen accidentally reminded him, the entire operation was planned and directed by Chief Qian. It was like a beautiful left hook that hit the target hard.
It hit the unsuspecting weak spot of the Northwest Army.
At this point, the outcome of this war is self-evident.
A few big guys were chatting and laughing at the gate of the city for a while. They seemed to be talking about something, so they looked around. Chief Qian saw Zhou Wen from a distance, and smiled and waved to him, gesturing for him to come over.
Zhou Wen didn't want to be in the limelight when there were many people. He brought Zhou Jinbaolai, just to introduce him to Commander Qian when there were fewer people. This time he served as the vanguard of the entire army, and all the merits he had made would be given to each other. Commander Qian was not allowed to report to the headquarters.
Go. I just don’t want to have any problems with returning home from the army, and I don’t want to be worried about by the principal.
Most of the goals of this plan to join the National Army have been achieved, the relationship between the military and China has been established, the transportation team has also gained battlefield experience, and also made a fortune. He really doesn't want to make extra trouble now.
When the officer summoned him, he had no choice but to drag Zhou Jinbao forward.
Seeing several big bosses looking at him with smiles, Zhou Wen quickly stood at attention and saluted. Chief Zhang smiled and waved his hands and said: "In front of us, Xiao Zhou, you don't need these false greetings. Come, follow us into the city. I said on the way
Why did you, Zhao Zilong, open the city gate without anyone noticing?"
Zhou Wen had no choice but to accompany several officers as he slowly walked into the city. On the way, he gave a truthful report on his situation after entering the city, except for Shi Shouxin, who did not mention anything about it. The main thing was to highlight Zhou Jinbao's role and let several officials know the truth.
The officers also looked at him carefully.
When Zhou Jinbao was at the city gate before, he saw Zhou Wen not moving when the officers arrived, standing far away in a deserted manner, and his heart suddenly began to beat, for fear that what Zhou Wen said before about having good relations with several big bosses was bragging. No.
I thought something like this would happen.
Not only is this a good relationship, but we are already a family, okay? I respect this brother from head to toe. Now I feel at ease.
After the group arrived at the headquarters, several big shots promised that they would soon send Zhou Jinbao's merits and a report recommending him as colonel commander to the headquarters. This was a perfect settlement for Zhou Jinbao's matter.
Zhou Wen then made an excuse to rush to see Old Uncle Wu and his brothers, bid farewell to several officers, and hurried to Hongxiu's house with Zhou Jinbao. He did not want to participate in the subsequent war, and had done everything he had to do. Victory
Right before our eyes, now is the time for the big guys to discuss how to share the fruits of victory.
Looking at Zhou Wen's back as he strode away, Chief Zhang slowly shook his head thoughtfully and said, "Brother Mu Yin, it seems that what you said is true. This kid is really going to retire from the army. I won't be here all the way."
Let's repay him. Lao Gu and I have both gained a lot of credit for nothing, and we owe him a lot of favors. It's just a pity for such a talent."
"It's such a pity. Things don't change like mountains and rivers. Maybe they will be together again some time. This boy is not a mortal. I believe we will meet again sooner or later in the future. Let's prepare some big gifts when he comes home.
Give it to him so we can get together and relax." Chief Gu was free and easy-going.

But after Zhou Wen came out, because Shi Shouxin's compound had been handed over to the Second Division for garrison, Hongxiu was sent home by Zhang Xiaoping and others for Feng Tianpei to treat him. Zhou Wen and Zhou Jinbao hurried to Hongxiu's home.
As soon as he turned into the alley where Hong Xiu's house was located, Zhou Wen found that the alley and alley were crowded with teenagers from the transportation team. Gao Xiaoshan and Miaohua were both there. Tieniu was pulling Ti Jing and saying something.
Old Uncle Wu and the other two old brothers all looked at him with smiles. Zhou Wen quickly stepped forward and greeted: "Old Uncle Wu, Old Uncle Zhang, Old Uncle Wei, are you still able to bear the journey? Look at your complexion.
I have recovered a lot.”
Old Uncle Wu praised: "Scholar, that Chief Qian is such a good officer. He takes good care of us. He came by car all the way, so he was not tired. No, I heard that something happened to Hongxiu, and everyone wanted to come and see us."
look."
"Old Uncle Wu, this is a long story. Let Brother Shanzi and the others tell you. Hongxiu and Mr. Zhou are both seriously injured. The yard is too small to accommodate many people. Let Brother Shanzi accompany you first.
I have to take care of Hongxiu first."
Old Uncle Wu also knew the status of Hong Xiu in Zhou Wen's heart, so he quickly asked him to go ahead.
Zhou Wen watched as Uncle Ma's machine gun team and Xu Dacheng's artillery team led the horses and heavy equipment to block the alley. Everyone had not seen each other for a few days, and there was a burst of noise and joking, which scared other people in the alley.
The house is closed and the doors are closed, and I don’t dare to breathe.
Knowing that he was so busy that he forgot to apply for a garrison location from the headquarters, Zhou Wen had no choice but to ask Zhou Jinbao to arrange for the brothers to spend the night in the compound of the original supply office. Both Hongxiu and Zhou Yongbin here needed to rest.
So Miaohua and Gao Xiaoshan took Old Uncle Wu and their brothers and followed Zhou Jinbao away. After a while, the alley became quiet again, leaving only horse manure on the ground.
Zhou Wen entered the small courtyard and saw Zhang Xiaoping coming up to him and said: "Brother, Junior Brother Feng checked Hongxiu's condition. It was caused by lack of water. She has now taken a pair of medicine and fed porridge several times. She is still groggy.
, I haven’t woken up yet.” Zhou Wen knew that this was the body’s self-protection after being too weak, so he wasn’t too worried anymore.
He went into the side room to see Hongxiu's condition, and then asked Feng Tianpei, who was looking after him, for his opinion. He came out and said: "Junior brother, Hongxiu and Mr. Zhou both need to replenish their bodies, and they also need a woman to help Hongxiu bathe and change."
Clothes. You go next door and find someone nearby. We'll pay for a woman to help, and then buy some chickens and vegetables from them. Don't bargain, just give them more."
During this period, small households with yards were generally used to raising a few chickens and growing some vegetables under the yard walls. Zhou Wen heard the crow of chickens just now when he was in the alley.
After a while, Zhang Xiaoping, with his baby face and harmless smile, quickly invited a middle-aged aunt named Aunt Liu from the next yard to come over to help, and the chickens were also bought.
Aunt Liu seemed to be a quick worker. After listening to Zhou Wen's explanation, she immediately started to use hot water to clean Hong Xiu's body, and helped her change her inside and outside.
Zhou Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Hongxiu usually loves to be clean. If he wakes up and finds a peculiar smell on his body, he won't be sad to death. What's more, this child just lost his mother. Who knows how sad he will be when he wakes up?
