Just in the midst of chaos, news from Qiao Zhen came that he would return to Chongqing with his army tomorrow. This was definitely a happy event. Now Sichuan has become a powder keg. If Qiao Zhen is still under Zhao Erfeng, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be involved. That would be difficult. Fortunately, he came back at this time, not only strengthening Qiao Yu's power, but also avoiding trouble.

However, in order to allow Qiao Zhen to leave the Sichuan border smoothly, Qiao Yu also secretly tried his best to bribe Zhao Erfeng's commander and asked him to help him speak. With Zhao Erxun's telegram, Qiao Guangyuan's letter, and his subordinates' advice, Zhao Erfeng finally made up his mind to send Qiao Zhen to guard Chongqing. Zhao Erfeng also received the matter of nationalizing the Sichuan-Han Railway. The old man only felt that the court was a little unconsidered. He had been on the border for a long time and focused all his energy on stabilizing the Sichuan-to-Ship River. He also lost his due sensitivity to such things and did not expect the dangers. However, the old man still valued Chongqing.

Sichuan has two centers of gravity, one is in Chengdu and the other is in Chongqing. The old man is still confident that he can control Chengdu as long as he returns to Sichuan. However, Chongqing is a bit out of reach. The Qiao family has a strong influence in Chongqing and can use this force to stabilize Chongqing. Moreover, the old man also knows Qiao Zhen very well. He knows that he has no ambitions and feels at ease to let him lead his troops back to Chongqing.

Before nine o'clock in the morning, I saw a stream of dust coming straight towards the city gate. Soon I saw a team of cavalry coming to everyone. Before the horse could stop, I jumped off the horse's back, and took a few steps to kneel down in front of Qiao Guangyuan and Mrs. Bai. It was Qiao Zhen and Qiao Zhiqing. After three years of going to war, I finally returned to Chongqing.

When the family met, they were naturally very happy. Qiao Zhen had definitely been through life and death in recent years. In addition, she had been fighting on the plateau for a long time. Both cheeks became red and her skin was dry and rough. She looked much bigger than Qiao Chengdu, but her figure was even more tall and strong. A heroic spirit came to her face. There was endless things for brothers to say when they met.

"To you, let's talk about anything when you have something to do when you go home!"

Qiao Zhen looked embarrassed, "Brother, I have brought hundreds of brothers back. If I don't settle them, I won't go home first!"

"That's right, as an officer, do you love soldiers like your son? Shunqing, please accompany your second brother to arrange the border guards first. Those are the heroes of the country. You must not neglect them. Let's go home first to prepare!" Qiao Guangyuan said, and naturally no one ignored them. Everyone went home first. Qiao Yu chatted with Qiao Zhen. The two brothers had the most affectionate relationship since childhood, and after several years of separation, they all seemed extremely excited.

"Third brother, you have only been back for half a year and have become the General Secretary. You are so amazing, but you are much better than your second brother!"

"Second brother, to be honest, I still envy you for galloping across the border and protecting the country. This contribution is enough to mark history and bring glory to the ancestors!"

"Hey, many robes died in battle on the plateau. Although there were also a group of mobs there, many British devils were in command. They were not afraid of death when fighting. Our supplies could not keep up. It has been really not easy in recent years!"

As he spoke, the large group of people had already reached the forefront, and there were about 600 people, with dust on their faces and a little worn out in military uniforms, but there was a faint sense of evil spirit, which seemed to have crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. It was much more fierce than the new recruits under his command. It seemed that if you want to have a strong soldier, you would not be able to go through the war.

Qiao Yu led the way and brought the border guards to the military camp. Qiao Zhen has gained a lot of knowledge after fighting for so many years, but she has never seen such a neat and clean military camp. It seems that the third brother is indeed a capable person and is willing to invest in the army.

The butler Qian Tai came close at this time and took these soldiers to the bathroom to take a bath. The treatment of soldiers in this era is indeed not high. It is good to be able to eat enough. As for the rest, there is no expectation. Qiao Zhen and his team fought on the snowy plateau. Even in the future, it was extremely difficult for later generations. This is even more so now. These soldiers have almost not taken a bath for several months or even a year, and the smell on their bodies is a bit bad, even Qiao Zhen is like this...

"Stern, wait, I'll go wash too. I can't stand the smell!" As he spoke, Qiao Zhen took off her clothes and rushed into the bathroom. The warm water slid across her body. Not to mention how comfortable it was, Qiao Yu noticed that there were several hideous scars on his body when his second brother took off his clothes. It was really good to die. Seeing this, he was full of respect for the unmasked Zhao Erfeng. The old man was in his sixties and spread across the rivers to maintain the borders of the country and made great contributions. But a few months later, the old man would corpse on the streets of Chengdu, leaving behind an eternal regret. It seems that if he is no matter what, he must find a way to save the old man and not let the person who has made merit die like this.

After the bath, the canteen had the aroma of food, with all the wine and meat, and enough rice and white flour. These soldiers of the border army may not have such good food during festivals, so they all drink happily and are very excited. Seeing that all the brothers under him were arranged very well, Qiao Zhen felt relieved to go home with Qiao Yu.

"Second brother, have you seen the peace in Xichuan along the way?"

"There is no peace now. There is a lot of people talking about the Sichuan-Han Road everywhere. The crowd is excited. How could such a bastard court have such a bastard? They actually said that the hard-earned money of the people will return to the country. There are also many people in the army who are talking about it. If I hadn't been wearing this military uniform, I would have been going to oppose the court with those ordinary people!"

Qiao Yu nodded slightly when he heard this. The second brother's thoughts represented the ideas of ordinary soldiers and civilians. He had no idea about the dirty things behind it. He blamed the Qing court for everything. Of course, the Qing court was not clean. They were not nationalized for building railways, but for the right to roads, which was as shameless as it was for the loan.

When Qiao Zhen heard someone in the army talk about it, Qiao Yu suddenly felt alert: "Second brother, are there any members of the party or revolutionary party in your army?"

"Why aren't there? They often talk about some revolutionary principles. I heard everything right. It is indeed for the sake of the country's goodness. Some people advised me to join the Tongmenghui. If I hadn't been grateful for the kindness of Mr. Zhao, I would have joined it long ago!"

This time the matter is interesting. I am probably already a thorn in the eyes of the Tongmenghui and a thorn in the flesh. But my second brother has some contact with them again, and this border guard is not safe anymore and must be dealt with, otherwise there would be a time bomb next to me that would explode at any time.

After returning home, the whole family sat around, talking about the experiences and stories of the snowy land, and talking about Western affairs. It was so happy that Qiao Zhen also realized that Qiao Yu had already had a quarrel with Tongmenghui, and was immediately embarrassed.

"Last brother, I think there are still passionate patriots in the Tongmenghui. Can't you get along peacefully?"

"Second brother, some things cannot be looked at on the surface. According to the revolutionary party's arrangement, they will only cause chaos in the country. For example, they advocate the establishment of the eighteen provinces, which means to give up all the border areas. Second brother, you are a person who has shed blood in Tibet. Would you be willing to split there?"

Qiao Zhen was speechless immediately. I had heard of this statement vaguely. I hadn't thought about it carefully at the time, but now it seems that it is indeed as my third brother said, what went wrong! Qiao Zhen lowered his head in pain.

"To you, you have the ability to be a general, but you don't have the talent to be a commander. Listen to your third brother in everything. The revolutionary party is a group of mobs, and there will definitely be no good result with them!" Mr. Qiao also spoke. Since the emergence of the royal cabinet, Mr. Qiao no longer has hope for the Qing court. Even if he does not want to rebel, others will rebel. It is better to let his son gain a more favorable position in the future.

"You brothers must be united in their hearts. Troubled times are approaching, and you must not take the wrong path!"

"Third brother, you are my brother, but those people are born and die with me. You must not treat them badly! Otherwise, I will be shameless!"
