After twenty boxes of grenades and sturdy oil bombs were handed to Liu Xinda's hand, Chen Wen stretched out and the mission was successfully completed.

Liu Xinda didn't want to attack Xiangtan anymore. Compared with Zhuzhou, Xiangtan, as the gateway to Changsha, has a stronger city, more elite defenders, and more fully prepared.

In order to urge Liu Xinda to continue to move forward and take Xiangtan, Ren Xiaonian provided him with more weapons, so he promised that after taking Xiangtan, he would give Liu Xinda 5,000 sets of standard armor and more grenades.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. After hesitating for a long time, Liu Xinda agreed.

Just today, his vanguard team, Liu An's troops, had gathered a team of tens of thousands of people and set out in advance, and Tengjian's left army followed immediately.

Chen Wen, who witnessed all this, was completely relieved.

This is the standard routine for Liu Xinda's troops to fight.

The cannon fodder troops led by Liu An went to battle first, consuming the enemy's weapons and erasing the enemy's courage. Tengjian's troops then launched a destructive attack on the enemy. In the end, Liu Bu's troops gave the enemy a fatal blow. As for Liu Xinda's troops, they would not go into battle unless they had to.

According to Chen Wen's information, about 15,000 Hunan troops are gathered in Xiangtan City. Unlike the troops guarding Zhuzhou, this army of more than 15,000 people belongs to the troops of Ding Hao, the second son of Ding Taiyi, the Hunan Observer, and is a serious Hunan elite.

However, in Chen Wen's opinion, Liu Xinda's troops, equipped with the latest weapons of the Northern Tang Dynasty, should take down their opponents without much effort.

Because aside from these latest military weapons, Liu Xinda's army alone is a veteran brigade who has experienced many battles. Even Liu An's cannon fodder unit is an absolute group of desperate people.

These people were already red from the crowd and robbed the crowd. When they saw a city with a large population and a prosperous economy, their eyes shone brightly, and they were also the kind of life-deserving ones that were desperate when they fought.

For these people, it is a typical person who dies and birds face the sky, and they will never die for thousands of years. After they capture a land, they will burn, kill, loot and do evil, and exert their evil desires to the fullest. After satisfying their animal desires in this place, they will then focus on the next place.

Compared with this army, Liu Xinda's headquarters had an outrageous discipline in the left, center and right armies, which was comparable to the Northern Tang army.

These two troops with completely different styles belong to the same side, and the contrast is extremely strong.

Sitting by the fire pit, put the tongs on the firewood, put a white steamed bun on the tongs and bake it. When the side is roasted and browned, turn over one side and continue to bake it. After both sides are browned, pick it up, tear off the shell of the burnt steamed bun outside, chew it with a delicious taste, and then put the torn layer of steamed bun on the fire to continue baking.

This is Chen Wen’s big hobby.

After taking a few bites of steamed bun shells, I took out a flat iron wine pot from my arms, took a small sip of good wine, and the chill all over my body was driven away without a trace.

The two companions around me, influenced by Chen Wen, have also been so accustomed to this in the past two years.

After ate two steamed buns like this, and drank a third of a small pot of wine. Chen Wen felt tired and kept rushing around the two places these days, which really made people exhausted.

To be honest, such weather is not suitable for outdoor activities.

Fortunately, we can go back tomorrow. Now the Northern Tang army should have begun to enter Zhuzhou. When we get there, we can rest for a while.

When I conquered Xiangtan, my task at this stage would come to an end. The next one should be a peaceful day and I could enjoy my life well.

I stood up and prepared to go to bed and have a beautiful sleep.

"Sleep, take your energy and go back tomorrow. Qiao Er, haven't you always wanted to go to Chang'an to have a look? After we go back, I will take you to Chang'an for a walk." Chen Wen smiled and said to a childish young man who was under 20 years old.

"That's good!" Qiao Er, whose earlobe was frostbite, was constantly rubbing his ears with his hands. He felt a little better outside the cold. As soon as the fire was burning, the temperature rose, his ears were so itchy that it couldn't stand it. "I'll stay tuned for the middle of the night! Brother Chen and you go to bed first!"

"Okay, you are young and energetic!" Chen Zhe, who was in his early forties, slapped the steamed buns in his hand and stood up.

With a loud sound, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside.

Chen Zhe was stunned and walked over to open the wooden door. He saw nothing except the sob sound of the cold wind outside. Chen Zhe was stunned and lowered his head, but found a piece of bamboo falling in the gap in the threshold.

As an experienced internal guard spy detective, when entering a place, he must first observe the environment and figure out all the details of his place. He knew very well that there was no such bamboo piece before.

He bent down and picked up the bamboo piece. Chen Zhe poked out half of his body from the door, and made some materials on both sides, but still found nothing.

He closed the door, took the bamboo piece and returned to the house.

Chen Wen also came over, took the bamboo piece from Chen Zhe, and saw the four words on it as soon as the lights were on it. Both of them changed slightly.

Four words are written on the grass on the bamboo slices with charcoal grass.

"Betrayal, trap!"

The two looked at each other and their expressions became solemn. However, the fatigue on their bodies was instantly hit by these four words without a trace.

Sitting back to the fire pit, Chen Wen looked at the bamboo piece carefully. Obviously, the person who wrote this thing was very hasty, as if he had picked up two things and wrote these words casually, and then hurriedly sent them over.

"Are our people also in Liu Xinda's central army?" Chen Zhe asked in a low voice.

"I don't know!" Chen Wen shook his head and said, "It's not on the same line, and there must be no contact between them. If such a situation occurs, it must be a very urgent situation."

"Betrayal, trap, what is it?" Chen Zhe looked up at Chen Wen in confusion.

Chen Wen gritted his teeth and thought for a moment. In fact, it was obvious, but Chen Zhe was unwilling to admit it.

He threw the bamboo piece into the fire, watched the fire light rise, and in an instant it burned without a trace.

What else can it refer to? It must be that there have been changes in Liu Xinda's troops.

Although he didn't know what was going on, the Northern Tang army now regarded Liu Xinda's troops as friendly forces to a certain extent. If such a unit changes, it will definitely be quite dangerous.

"Qiao Er, you can't sleep tonight." Chen Wen said suddenly.

"Captain, what do you want me to do?" Qiao Er asked in a low voice.

"It's probably the second update now. After another update, you have to quietly lurk out." Chen Wen said: "After going out, go to Zhuzhou, find General Ren Xiaonian, and tell him these four words. As for what happened, I don't know, let General Ren make his own judgment!"

Qiao Er swallowed and nodded: "Captain, what if something really happens, what will you do?"

Chen Wen glanced at Chen Zhe and suddenly smiled and said, "What else can happen if something really happens? A big scar in the head is gone. Those who are in our business must be ready to die silently at any time."

"Then I won't leave, let Brother Chen go!" Qiao Er said.

"Qiao Er, you are young and run fast!" Chen Zhe shook his head and said, "I am old. In such a season, the leg script is a bit inconvenient. When sneaking out, there are not even a horse to travel with. How far can I run? Be prepared for it!"

"I'll go and have a drink with Liu Xinda." Chen Wen stood up, took out two more tin wine pots from the package, and took out another small flat box, "Chen Zhe, you can sleep in the house, the snoring can be louder. I think there will definitely be someone paying attention to us. We have to cover Qiao Er."

"clear."

Chen Wen stood up, pushed open the door, hesitated for a moment, and then walked out in big strides.

"Mr. Chen, where are you going in this cold weather?" After walking a few steps, a man came out of the darkness and bowed to Chen Wen with a smile.

Chen Wen raised the wine pot in his hand and said, "I can't sleep, so I'll go find General Liu to have a few drinks. I've been with General Liu over the past few months, but I feel very accomplicated. Unfortunately, I don't know when I will meet again after this farewell. I really can't bear to let it go. I have to get drunk."

After saying that, he ignored the man's expression and laughed and carried the wine pot, he walked straight to the wooden house where Liu Xinda lived.

Liu Xinda was a little surprised when he heard the report. Before he could figure out what was going on, Chen Wen had already walked in with two wine pots.

"General Liu, I think you can't sleep either, so I came to you for a few drinks." Chen Wen threw the wine pot in his hand on the table and said, "Exclusively treasured, only these two pots, authentic Northern Erguotou. What you can buy on the market is undoubtedly fake!" Chen Wen sat down with a smile, "One person, one pot, how about it?"

Liu Xinda weighed the wine pot and said, "I'm afraid I won't be half a catty? Mr. Chen, you seem to have drunk a lot?"

"Drinking alone is boring. Those two guys are too boring, so I have to come to find General Liu." Chen Wen smiled and took out another flat box and opened it. There were neat rows of things rolled with white paper inside.

"You must have never seen this thing!" Chen Wen smiled and pulled out one of them, turned around and raised a burning firewood stick from the fire pit, but held the roll of paper in his mouth, lit it with the firewood stick, took a deep breath, and then a stream of smoke sprayed out of his mouth.

"What is this?" Liu Xinda asked in surprise.

"This is called cigarette!" Chen Wen smiled and said, "This thing was brought back from a distant overseas. Now our Datang Sinong Temple is still being cultivated. It is not planted on a large scale, which is the most refreshing thing. Whenever you are tired, you will immediately look refreshed."

"There is such a good thing?" Liu Xinda also took out one from the box, ignited it and took a deep breath, and immediately coughed. "This, what's this?"

Chen Wen smiled: "I was not used to it at first, but I gradually couldn't live without him. For people like me, it is indeed a good thing. If General Chen gets used to it, he will think he is good. Come on, General Chen, can you have some food?"
