After Lu Zheng and Liu Qingsheng left, he had no intention of going to Le County to join Zhao Zhiguo.

Instead, he rode directly back to Anyang Town.

For Lu Zheng, he couldn't swallow this breath. No matter whether Zhao Zhiguo lived or died, he would destroy the bandits in Lushan.

When Matthew Wen learned that Zhao Zhiguo was injured and his life and death were unknown, he immediately locked up Lu Zheng instead of suppressing the bandits.

The captain was injured. As the captain's personal guard, he did not protect Zhao Zhiguo at all times. Instead, he ran back alone. This was a dereliction of duty.

"The most important thing at the moment is not to spread the news. When the soldiers learn that the captain is injured and his life or death is unknown, the morale will definitely be affected. If the enemy finds out, they will take the opportunity to launch an attack on Anyang Town."

Zhao Zhiguo's injury is not only related to one person, but can also be related to the changes in the situation in Anyang Town.

They must work hard to stabilize the situation in Anyang Town first.

"You're right! Inform the senior positions and ask them to be more vigilant, just in case."

The little devil's scouts were always watching every move in Anyang Town. When Lu Zheng came back, he swaggered through the city. Almost everyone in the town knew that only Lu Zheng was back.

"Second, we immediately contacted Le County to confirm the captain's situation."

Zhao Zhiguo was injured. It turned out that he was hundreds of kilometers away, and they had to determine the situation as soon as possible.

"Lu Zheng is familiar with the roads, so we have to send Lu Zheng there."

Lu Zheng made a mistake, but Anyang Town cannot do without Gao Cang, so the best candidate is naturally Lu Zheng.

"This guy is not suitable for the army. He has too much gangsterism. Because of his relationship with Lao Zhao, he is unorganized and undisciplined in the army."

This time Matthew was really angry.

Both Ma Xiu Wen and Zhao Zhi Guo valued military discipline, and Lu Zheng's behavior made Ma Xiu Wen understand that it is easy to change a country but hard to change one's nature.

"Let's wait for the punishment of Lu Zheng slowly. After all, he is still a member of our army. If the captain's health is not serious, we cannot blame Lu Zheng entirely."

It's not that Tian Kezhi is targeting Lu Zheng, but that they haven't figured out the current situation yet and want to punish him first, which will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

"What to do with those bandits?" Matthew asked.

Since the Lushan bandits injured their captain, there was no reason to let them go.

Moreover, bandits are bandits, so Matthew Wen directly suggested that these bandits should be wiped out.

"From a straight-line perspective, Lushan is not far from Changshan, only three or four days' journey. However, there are mountains in between and there are no roads, so we can only take a detour."

On the map, there is only one road to Lushan. This road is close to the edge of the mountain and passes through the edge of the Le County area before entering the boundary of Lushan.

It was impossible for the troops to pass through the inaccessible mountains and could only take the outer road.

But this detour is farther than the road from Anyang Town to Le County.

They don't care about the bandits' fighting prowess, but they have to pass through areas controlled by other armies along the way.

If other troops in the army discover that Zhao Zhiguo's armed forces are passing through their defense area, there may be a conflict between the two sides.

"We can't send troops rashly. If the other party hasn't received the message, we will pass through other people's defense areas. Once discovered by their patrol team, they will take action without saying a word."

Tian Kezhi looked at the map. They were walking north and west, and the forces were even more complicated.

There are areas under the control of the Jinsui Army, there are also areas under the control of the Northwest Army, and there are even areas jointly managed by both parties.

On these sites, there are the security regiments of the Jinsui Army and the Northwest Army, as well as self-defense brigades established in the name of protecting local tranquility.

Although these troops are not strong in combat effectiveness, they have decent names.

If there is a conflict between the two parties, even if the other party cannot get any advantage, in terms of public opinion, the son born by the main wife will definitely have an advantage over the son born by the side wife.

Moreover, now is a critical moment for cooperation in anti-Japanese negotiations. Both sides are gradually compressing the interests of the other party for their own interests.

If the Central Army takes advantage of the situation again and says that Zhao Zhiguo's troops broke into their defense area without authorization, it is Zhao Zhiguo who wants to expand their territory while the two sides are negotiating and making peace.

At that time, it was unclear whether it would be beneficial or not, and it would also affect the overall situation.

Seeing Tian Kezhi considering the problem so comprehensively and analyzing it in such an orderly manner, Matthew Wen couldn't help but sigh, there really is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and a lot of talented people in this army.

"I finally understand why Zhao Zhiguo asked you to be the chief of staff. If our army is really a regiment, the position of chief of staff must be yours."

However, Zhao Zhiguo's troops were only organized at the battalion level and were not qualified to have a chief of staff.

Therefore, Tian Kezhi can only hold the title of staff officer.

"I said instructor, this is not the time to talk about this. I suggest that Yao Pengju take two soldiers there first. One is to protect the safety of the captain, and the other is to let Yao Pengju go explore the true and false status of the Lushan bandits." Tian Kezhi said.

In terms of protecting Zhao Zhiguo's safety, Yao Pengju is the most reliable.

"You can also ask Yao Pengju to coordinate with Commander Zhang to see if he can say hello to the surrounding troops and say that we want to borrow a way from their defense zone." Matthew Wen said.

"As for suppressing bandits, it's better to wait for the captain's order."

Killing all the bandits is a very simple matter, but now it concerns Zhao Ziming, and Tian Kezhi does not recommend reckless action.

"Okay, I will follow your arrangements on this matter. Without further delay, let Lu Zheng and Yao Pengju set off immediately."

In Le County, the whole room was white, and Zhao Zhiguo, whose head was still heavy, only felt bursts of pain in his shoulders.

"Captain, the doctor said that you lost too much blood and the inflammation in the wound is under control. As long as you recover for some time, you will be fine."

Liu Qingsheng actually wanted to say some comforting words, but when he wanted to mention Zhao Ziming, his mouth felt like it was stained with paste.

Two days after the operation, Zhao Zhiguo woke up, but since he woke up, Zhao Zhiguo has not said a word.

Even when Mr. Zhang came to visit him, Zhao Zhiguo kept silent. He still had not fully accepted the fact that Zhao Ziming had his head chopped off by the bandits.

Liu Qingsheng was young and had experienced very little. Although he had been by Zhao Zhiguo's side, he didn't know what to say.

There was always a helpless silence in the ward.

"How's it going? Are you still unwilling to talk today?"

Whenever he has time, Mr. Zhang will come to see Zhao Zhiguo. Looking at Zhao Zhiguo's current appearance, he only frowns.
