Chapter 93: Parting ways

Of course, Guo Jinzhang couldn't really kill Lu Jiashun. Although he really wanted to kill this guy like rat shit at that time. However, no matter what, Lu Jiashun was a Chinese leader in Aurora, and Aurora was very close to Denver. Although this guy rarely dated Hou Nan and others, he still had a little friendship, and Hou Nan could not really allow him to kill... So, that shot hit the ground.

But that shot still scared Lu Jiashun and others to death. The men following behind this guy were so scared that they shouted something like "Denver's people are going to kill Aurora". As a result, this sentence stimulated the Chinese workers who were paying attention to this place because of their quarrel, especially the Chinese workers in Aurora, and some even went to grab the guns directly...

After such a fuss, Guo Jinzhang simply announced that everyone would part ways, and they would not stay. Hou Nan and others could only sigh. As a result, Lu family led the Chinese workers in Aurora, the Chinese workers in Fort Collins in Su Zhongshui, and the Chinese workers in Greeley, and other places, although there were no local leaders, a small number of Chinese workers gathered there, and the total number was more than half.

"See it? You see it? You just don't like people."

Lu Jiashun was very proud. He didn't expect that this result was probably half, half. Does this prove the correctness of what he said?

"We are honest, not fools..." Su Zhongshui put his hands on his chest and looked at Guo Jinzhang and others standing opposite him sneered.

"Everyone wants to part ways?...Okay, let's part!" Guo Jinzhang looked around and sighed. Behind him, Hou Nan and others were speechless, including Qian Shide and others with the most popular temper, all of whom had nothing to say. He fought hard and even threw out the capital to save his life, in order to exchange these people for fear of any danger these compatriots encountered. But unexpectedly, what he got was only this... more than half, a total of 1,300 people were unwilling to go with them. Could it be that he was so tired of it? Around them, Ding Huaiyuan and Wan Gongxiang's faces were also very bad, because behind Lu Jiashun and others, there were their brothers.

"Then, we are not... Brother Hou, and Brother Qian. We are very grateful for saving our brothers. We also know that they are so unrighteous, but... But those white people just let you go. We can't let the brothers die together, do you think?" Next to Lu Jiashun, the Chinese boss Chen Fazhu of Greely said stutteringly. He had been following Lu Jiashun and Su Zhongshui just now, but he didn't speak much, but the eyes of Hou Nan and others on the opposite side were so burning. Yes, Hou Nan and others did not blame them, but just being looked at like that would be very depressed.

"To put it bluntly, you are just afraid of death." Qian Shide said lightly.

"Aren't you afraid of death? Why don't you go directly to those white people to fight a war?" Lu Jiashun seemed to have caught some of the handle, "I told you a long time ago that no one is a fool."

"I've said enough? Aren't you going to part ways? Then let's part. What you said, starting today, the road is facing the sky, and each side is going... Don't look for anyone else." Guo Jinzhang said coldly.

"Yes, everyone is willing to leave. Anyway, you just need not cause trouble for us." Su Zhongshui took a step forward and stretched out his hand to them again, "We have so many people, this time you should separate the horses and tents, right?"

"Score, score, all score!" Hou Nan murmured, as if he had become more than a teenager all of a sudden.

"Then let's divide it." Guo Jinzhang couldn't do it either. He didn't want to divide it. In order to get out of the Black Canyon, they had actually abandoned a lot of supplies. More than 2,000 people walked together and were always saving food. Now, the distribution will definitely be less supplies at that time, which is even more unfavorable to everyone.

"We have a lot of money, and we have to have a lot of money." Lu Jiashun said again.

"Okay, if you want it, I'll give it to you." Hou Nan shook his arms and turned around and left. The old man didn't know what to say, nor did he want to say anything. But he was very lonely, but others might not be like this. Liu Tongfu had jumped behind Guo Jinzhang and Li Asheng at some point, glaring at Lu Jiashun, Su Zhongshui and others:

"We made those things ourselves, why should we share them with you? If you have the ability, do it yourself."

"Are you still hurt us today?" Lu Jiashun was also confident.

"Okay, Ah Fu, don't be as knowledgeable as such people. Let them part. Humph, aren't they running for life? I want to see how many miles they can escape!" Li Ah Sheng said coldly.

"That's what we got after trying our best, why?" Liu Tongfu shouted.

"What else can you do? Because they are all Chinese and Chinese workers, they have a bloodline connected with us, and they have a little bit of affection, so they are so arrogant. If anyone else had been killed, would they still be calling like this?" Guo Jinzhang said softly.

"That's right." Li Asheng continued coldly: "Even Denver was burned, killing hundreds of white people, and still caring about these uncontrollable things? If you don't have the same knowledge as them, you really think you are a character."

"You... OK, we are not people, and you don't need to be as familiar with us. Don't talk about those useless things, let's divide things!" Guo Jinzhang and Li Asheng's eyes were very cold, which made people feel cold. Although Lu Jiashun and Su Zhongshui wanted to say a few words, they somehow felt cold in their hearts. They could only turn around and leave. While walking, they kept shouting with people: "Divid things, divide things!"

"No points are allowed!" Liu Tongfu jumped behind and shouted, "Whoever likes to divide, whoever likes to divide, I don't know what I have to divide anyway!"

"Forget it, Ah Fu, just say less and give them a share." Chu Si walked over and grabbed this guy. Liu Tongfu was different from others. Since leaving Denver, this guy has been dreaming of restoring the former glory of the Liu family and even carrying it forward... This kind of thought is even more urgent and enthusiastic than Qian Shide's idea of ​​marrying a wife again. After the incident of Gannison, he thought that the already shrinking wealth would probably be distributed to the newly joined Chinese workers. He was not very happy and even secretly told Hou Nan that this happened, but he didn't expect that this happened and he had to share more than half of the things. How could he be willing to do so?

"Why? They have never done anything, they are just driven by people like pigs and have been driven away several times. Is this a credit? It would be fine if we don't thank us for saving their lives. I just thought it was a group of ungrateful wolves, but why should they separate our blood and sweat? Why..."

Although he was stopped by Chu Si, Liu Tongfu was still relentless and kept shouting there. The sharp screams made people feel extremely harsh. However, Lu Jiashun, who seemed to be righteous in front of Hou Nan, Guo Jinzhang and others, did not turn around, and did not know whether he felt ashamed or did not intend to bother Liu Tongfu on this issue again. However, what was unexpected was that Liu Tongfu's scolding caused some Chinese workers to curse from the camp of Lu Jiashun and his group.

"Isn't it just a death to jump into the street? Isn't this life a life that's going to be dead, what's the point? At worst, I can fight with those white people..."

"Let's talk about whether to fight or not. I'm really embarrassed to go like this."

"Forget it, if you don't leave, you won't leave, so as not to be killed by someone..."

"I don't know where I can go, so I'd better stay."

More or less, or there were only silent, and about dozens of Chinese workers ignored the persuasion of the people around them and retreated from the group of Lu Jiashun, Su Zhongshui and others. Several returned to Ding Huaiyuan and Wan Gongxiang, and were scolded again. However, there were only these dozens of people, which did not change the number comparison between the two sides. Still, more than half of Chinese workers did not want to walk with Hou Nan, Guo Jinzhang and others.

"I think everyone has walked together for a while, and I'll remind you again."

The horses were divided, the tents were divided, the food was divided, and the guns were divided. Originally, Guo Jinzhang and Li Asheng were unwilling to divide so many of them at once. After all, although they had more than 700 guns in various types, the gun was not attacked at all. And who knew what would happen to him? Even if they wanted to divide, it would be enough to split a hundred and eighty shots. Anyway, those guys didn't want to fight with the white people, and they just needed to protect themselves. But Hou Nan insisted, and they had no choice but to obey.

"Don't think it's safe to not walk with us." The person who spoke was Guo Jinzhang. "The yellow people in the eyes of white people all look similar. You are so many people walking together, and no one can guarantee what the situation will be like when you meet white people. White people will not believe you... So, be careful in everything, don't believe everything, and don't put yourself in a dangerous place. Those who should be reconnaissance must be reconnaissance, otherwise, if you die, you will have no place to talk."

"You don't need to remind me. Please don't cause any trouble, so we'll be grateful." Su Zhongshui touched the newly assigned revolver and played with it fresh. He couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

"We are more people than you. If you really have to worry, you should worry about yourself." Lu Jiashun continued.

"That's good. I won't give it to you..." Guo Jinchang looked at the group of people lightly and waved his hand gently: "Why are you leaving?"

"You don't have to worry about this, just take care of yourself!" Su Zhongshui said.

"Okay, you guys will do it!"

Divide.

The Chinese workers suddenly divided into two strands just a few dozen miles away from Pueblo. One strand was still heading eastward, heading towards Pueblo. The other strand with more people lingered in the spot for a while, but turned toward the southeast... But the problem is that the target of the Chinese workers heading towards the southeast still seemed to be Pueblo. The reason why they walked so much was that they just didn't want to get together with the Chinese workers in front.

"What the hell are these guys doing? What exactly do they want to do?"

Fang Ting, near the north between Prince of Colorado and Pueblo, is just a small town. Because of the railway passing through, the town is still prosperous... Although it is only prosperous according to the population ratio of Colorado, it is relatively good. At least, this is definitely not the small towns that Guo Jinjian and others have passed by, such as the Condon Town. At this moment, Colorado Governor Grant and his command have also advanced here, and have obtained the news that the Chinese workers divided the troops here. When they saw the conclusions drawn by their subordinates after analyzing the news, the governor was very troubled.

"I have said a long time ago that these Chinese people are not that simple. They must have thought that we should have been ahead of them, and they may have even guessed that we are mobilizing people to destroy them." Jacques stood next to the map with a crutch, "This is certain."

"What do you think we should do, Major?" Mason Comoz, the militia commander of Colorado Prince, was considered a confidant of Grant. However, the lieutenant colonel did not seem to have a confidant, and the momentum showed by the senior officer... In Black Canyon, because of his judgment, Grant had to change the originally set off attack to siege, causing nearly two thousand militias to be meaninglessly blocked at the two exits of Black Canyon for several days. Also, he was mobilized by the Governor again.

When the troops were about to encircle and suppress the Chinese workers in Pueblo, it was the lieutenant colonel again. The troops he led were stopped three times a day and could not arrive within the prescribed time. They rode horses but walked more slowly than the Chinese workers who were more than half a person. They were so angry that Grant called him directly to Colorado Prince and scolded him. At the same time, he sent another commander over. Of course, according to the news, even if the new commander was replaced, the militia's speed still did not improve at all, but seemed to be regressing.

"That depends on what the governor means." Jacques glanced at the anxious Grant and smiled.

"What do I mean?" Grant asked after hearing this. Chalak did not come with him. He had no object to discuss at the moment, and he could only rely on the two school-level militia officers around him.

"It depends on whether you plan to turn this battle into an annihilation or a defeat." Jacob replied.

"Of course it's annihilation. Otherwise, why would I have to wait until now?" Grant shouted.

"Then we must divide a team to drive back the Chinese who did not follow the original route... But the question is, if these Chinese people are stopped, will the Chinese who are still moving towards Pueblo continue to move forward?" Jacques said.

"This is your problem. All I want is the same: completely destroy these Chinese people." Grant shouted.

"This task is quite difficult." Jacques said lightly.

"This guy..." Komoz couldn't help but curl his lips. In his opinion, Jacob was asking for a lot of prices, deliberately saying how complicated and serious the situation was to show his ability and re-stabilize his position in Grant's heart. But... Isn't it just been caught by the Chinese? What's so great? You are just a militia. After doing these tasks, you still have to go back and continue to open your butcher shop. Even if the governor remembers you clearly, what's the use of him, he can't be promoted to general.

"I don't care about the difficulty of this task. I just want those Chinese to be eliminated." Grant naturally didn't know that the lieutenant colonel was secretly despising the major. Originally, Jacques's unscathed life was indeed disappointed by the Chinese, but later he had a new understanding of Jacques' situation. To be honest, although he had not received any military training, Grant was indeed quite accused of the Major... How could he fight so much? People hid aside, led people away with horses, and then... and he was almost dizzy as an audience member.

What's more, Jacob's group was walking nearly two hundred miles by the Chinese as if they were walking their dogs? The governor couldn't stand it even if he rode a horse for more than ten miles. It was already amazing that the militia could hold on to that point. It was also very difficult for the Chinese to take advantage of the middle of the night. Well, it should have been a sneak attack in the early morning. Moreover, Major Jacob was right, not because of his ability, but because his militia were too lazy, so lazy that it was difficult to implement military orders. Otherwise, how could those Chinese attack them in the early morning? It was dawn!

"Then we can only use the simplest and most practical method: to divide and surround!" Seeing that Grant had listened to his words and realized the "difficulty" of his actions, Jacques said again.

"Split the encirclement? Doesn't that require a lot of troops?" Grant asked.

"Yes, it does require more troops, but not much. After all, the number of Chinese people is also decreasing... They are divided into two groups!" Jacques said.

"But Colorado can no longer summon more militias." Grant said sadly.

"No. We can also fight a time difference." Komoz raised his eyes on the map, "first defeat one of the Chinese, then use the cavalry's rapid maneuverability to integrate the troops, and then surround the other Chinese, and then eliminate them."

"Good idea." Jacob smiled at Lieutenant Colonel and nodded.

"What about the defeated Chinese? What should I do? I said it will be completely eliminated." Grant shouted dissatisfied.

"Mr. Governor, the defeated Chinese only needs hundreds of militia to chase them around on horseback. On the land of Colorado, they can't run far!" Komoz said with a smile.

"Is that true?" Grant looked at Jacques again. Lieutenant Colonel Gunnison's performance made him a little inaccurate.

"He was right." Jacques said.

"Okay. Since it's a good idea, then take action quickly. You must eliminate all the Chinese before they arrive in Pueblo." Seeing that both of their subordinates were so convinced, Grant felt a little more appropriate and shouted with a fist.

"As for your order, sir!" the lieutenant colonel and the major answered attentively.

...

"I really don't understand. You were obviously captured by the Chinese, but I just guarded the canyon in Gannison for a few more days, but he believed you or not? Why?"

The governor left and sent telegrams to the militia according to the arrangements of the two men. These telegrams had to start from the Telegram Office and could reach the militia through the riders, which would take at least half a day. Taking advantage of this gap, Komoz and Jacques stayed in the so-called command room and started chatting again.

"Because you are close, Lieutenant Colonel." Jacques shrugged, "You were fooled by the Chinese in front of the governor, and the governor almost couldn't leave Gannison. What about me? Yes, I was captured, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, didn't he?"

"It's because of this?" Komoz's face felt a little bitter, and this reason made him a little depressed.

"Or what do you think it is?" Jacob looked at him, "What do you think about this battle?"

"Where are you?" Komoz asked back.
