District 9

Luhuai, in the commander-in-chief's office.

Sha Zhongxing sat quietly on the sofa and waited for nearly half an hour before Zhou Xingli strode in from outside.

"Oh, Lao Sha, I'm really sorry. The Seventh District has been in chaos recently. The military department has a combat meeting. I have to attend it. I'm a little late." Zhou Xingli had a smile on his face and was still there. Before he could get closer, his hand was already stretched out.

In the past few days, Sha Zhongxing, who had been looking more and more haggard, slowly stood up and shook hands with Zhou Xingli: "Commander Zhou, it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer, but the 100,000 troops at Lukou Port can't wait any longer!"

Zhou Xingli paused for a moment, reached out and patted Sha Zhongxing's shoulder and said, "Sit down, Lao Sha."

"The defeated general, I can't sit still!" Sha Zhongxing looked straight at Zhou Xingli and asked softly: "Commander Zhou, please give me an accurate word. When can the fleet from the seventh district enter Lukou Port?"

"well."

Zhou Xingli sighed, slowly turned around and sat on the main seat, stepped in and looked at the ninth district general standing in front of him, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Lao Sha, regarding the matter of your ninth district troops entering the seventh district, I have already It was mentioned at the meeting, but the opposition was quite loud.”

Sha Zhongxing looked at Zhou Xingli with a resolute face, and said very calmly: "Okay, let's not talk about alliances, but about interests. The arrival of the troops from the ninth district will instantly enhance your army's strength, and even surpass it in a short time. Chen Xi, I believe Commander Zhou can’t miss such a great benefit, right?”

"Lao Sha, I know you are emotional..."

"I'm not in the mood, Commander Zhou." Sha Zhongxing waved his hand and said very decisively: "Let's talk about it in a broad way. The Shensha Corps has been defeated. We commanders and generals are not qualified to talk about our personal emotions. If you Commander Zhou feels that the Shensha Corps' stationing in the Seventh District will have an impact on the concentration of power. As soon as my soldiers arrive outside Luhuai, I, Sha Zhongxing, will resign as the commander of the Sha Clan and go directly to the general's apartment to retire. You see? no?"

Zhou Xingli was silent for a while and then replied: "Lao Sha, why don't you understand? This is not your problem. Forget it, I will also tell you something that comes from my heart. Now many people in the headquarters ask me, once Old Shen leads his troops into the city. If you are a minister, you can still be a minister, but if you are a king, how will you arrange it?"

"Old Shen won't..."

"No way? How did Lao He die?" Zhou Xingli stepped in and asked with a serious face.

Walking in the Sand is speechless.

"One hundred thousand troops can indeed change the military and political situation in the Seventh District, but there are pros and cons to this. If he comes and disobeys, won't the situation become even more chaotic?" Zhou Xingli looked at Sha Zhongxing and said word by word. : "Let me give you a thorough explanation. If you come over from the Sha family, I will raise my hands and support it with both hands. But Lao Shen and the Shen family are direct relatives, but I have no way to catch it."

Sha Zhongxing is also a famous general. He has his own backbone and pride. At this moment, when he heard Lao Zhou's straightforward reply, he only asked briefly: "Is there no room for negotiation on this matter?"

Lao Zhou shook his head.

"Excuse me, Commander Zhou, please ask the security force to release my helicopter. I'm going back." Sha Zhongxing turned around and left.

In the huge office, Zhou Xingli stepped in and looked at Sha Zhongxing, raised his head and shouted: "Old Sha, you are already here, do you still need to go back?!"

"Shen Wanzhou is waiting for me, I have to go back." Sha Zhongxing replied with his back to him.

"Shensha's downfall is a foregone conclusion. The building is about to collapse. Why do you need to go back and take risks?" Zhou Xingli persuaded: "If you are worried, I will let you get on the ship and personally pick up your soldiers on board."

"Shen Wanzhou and I will advance and retreat together. We will die in a trench and be buried in a pit." Sha Zhongxing said stubbornly: "Although the defeated general is unable to fight anymore, he still dares to die."

Zhou Xingli was speechless.

Sha Zhongxing opened the door and left with the guards.

Zhou Xingli tapped his fingers on his crossed thighs, feeling a little troubled. If Sha Zhongxing is not willing to stay, then his troops will not be able to take over. Once they are completely wiped out at Lukou Port, then he will miss a good opportunity to swallow up a hundred thousand troops.

what can we do about it?

…

Noon the next day.

Sha Zhongxing returned to Lukou Port and saw a drunk Shen Wanzhou in the camp. He had not seen him for who knows how many years, and Lao Shen drank too much.

On both sides of the dining table, Shen Wanzhou smoked a cigarette and remained silent.

"Don't think about District 7, we can't go there." Sha Zhongxing loosened his collar and lowered his head and said, "Adjust your thinking and station in Zangyuan. Do you think it's possible?"

"What time is it?" Shen Wanzhou asked.

"It's past two o'clock." Walking back in the sand.

"Lao Sha, come with me for a walk." Shen Wanzhou stood up.

Sha Zhongxing hesitated for a moment, then took steps to follow.

More than thirty guards followed the two generals out of the camp and to the nearby mountain, where they looked at the frozen sea on the shore.

Shen Wanzhou was wearing a general's coat, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back. His white hair was messy in the wind, and his figure was bleak.

Sha Zhongxing lit a cigarette: "I heard when I came back that more than 20,000 troops were instigated to rebel in the past two days and ran to the other side. I personally think that the peripheral troops must not be able to protect them, but our The direct lineage and core are still there... we can fight them out."

Shen Wanzhou looked into the distance like a sculpture without saying a word.

"Old Shen, the coalition forces are also scheming within themselves. If we fight out and run far away, they may fall out in advance over the ownership of Fengbei." Sha Zhongxing continued in a low voice: "I can let Liu who is guarding Fengbei Strive to withdraw, give up the capital first, and stir up conflicts among them, so that we may still have a chance."

"I remember that when Wan Hong first became the division commander, the three of us sat drinking together. When we got drunk, we started bragging together and said that if we became generals and gained core power, we would leave our names in history together and do something great. This is a big event, and I will contribute my own strength to the nation and the region." Shen Wanzhou looked into the distance blankly and said: "In a blink of an eye, Wanhong was gone, and we were scolded as traitors... Lao Sha, Do you think I have done anything wrong these years?"

"Who hasn't missed it?" Sha Zhongxing smoked a cigarette and replied with a frown: "The highest power is right in front of you, within reach, who can resist stretching out your hand? Old Shen, a historical figure, is going to Let history be the judge. The ninth district was the last one to be established. It has developed to the present level and has caught up with other districts by a large margin... We, the people, have still done our part. We have conducted many meetings with the European Union. The exchange of interests has handed over some power, and also improved the military defense strength and military technology of District 9... Alas, even if it is infamous, it can be considered a merit."

"Haha, are you enlightening me?" Shen Wanzhou said with a smile.

"No, just a few random words." Xing Xing returned in the sand.

The two of them looked into the distance and were silent for a long time. Shen Wanzhou suddenly said: "Lao Sha, you can lead your troops and leave..."

Sha Zhongxing suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

"The car stopped moving when we reached Nanguan. I've reached the end." Shen Wanzhou looked into the distance: "Don't argue with me, I've already made up my mind. Besides, so many people who are following us wholeheartedly need a place to stay. Click...you go to District 7."

Sha Zhongxing took a deep drag on his cigarette when he heard the sound.

"Pop!"

Shen Wanzhou reached out and patted his shoulder: "Commander, you are the only friend I have, and that's enough...!"

"Yeah." Sha Zhongxing nodded heavily.

…

That night.

The sand regiments suddenly approached Likou Port en masse, and the fleet in District 7, which had been parked on the sea for a long time, also set sail again.

at the same time.

Shen Fei finally caught up from behind the withdrawal route and went to report to Shen Wanzhou.

Shen Wanzhou glanced at Shen Fei, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "It's good to be back."

Shen Fei looked at him: "I won't go with the sand troops, I'll be with you!"

Shen Wanzhou looked at him with a smile: "Okay."

…

In Xinxiang Life Town, Qin Yu glanced at the military intelligence report submitted by Ma Laoer, frowned and cursed: "Damn it, the fleet from District 7 is still here. We can't delay it any longer. Notify the 185th and 186th brigades to prepare. Conduct a general attack."

On the other side, after noticing that the Sha faction's troops were preparing to escape by boat, He and Fenglu's three factions successively issued orders for a general offensive to the troops.

The war of annihilation is coming!
