Chapter 714 Uncertain
There were people watching on both sides of the sand table, thinking each other with different expressions.
Zhou Zheng's dragon flag was alone and deep. Although it seemed ferocious, it was actually isolated and helpless, and it felt like it was "waiting for food".
The black flag raised by Lu Xiang wandered around the periphery, neither far nor near, but could counterattack at any time, and it became a scattered scattered force.
Therefore, whoever has the upper hand in this game and who will win in the end is still between the two.
Lu Xiangguan and others looked at Zhou Zheng, dared not speak, and even held their breath.
They all realized that Zhou Zheng actually wanted to fight the Northern Expedition, while Lu Xiangsheng firmly opposed it.
The intentions of the two were fully revealed on the sand table.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the sand table and could not make any more deductions. He raised his head to look at Zhou Zheng who was still staring at the chessboard silently, and said, "I know you are anxious, but I think you are carrying too much, and you are already suppressing you. You can relax a little. Jianlu has been the meat on the chopping board. For five years, at most, I will help you calm down!"
In this case, it is no longer a subordinate, but an advice from an old friend who has been many years.
Lu Xiangguan was shocked and looked at Lu Xiangsheng with some anxiety.
He knew that Lu Xiangsheng had always wanted to keep a distance from Zhou Zheng. This idea was not to protect himself or to be arrogant, but to not want to add unnecessary pressure to Zhou Zheng.
The Lu family owed Zhou Zheng a lot, and the lives and futures of the Lu Xiangsheng brothers and others almost all came from Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng remained silent about Lu Xiangsheng's words and kept deducing them in his heart.
This kind of sand table deduction is just a strategic and tactic. Whatever depends on the actual results, but Lu Xiangsheng is indeed right.
He had too much pressure to force him to settle Jianlu as soon as possible so that he could devote himself to the reform and reform of the country. This was his heart problem. Even if Jianlu was very weak, he still did not dare to be careless.
If he does not relieve this border problem, he will always feel like a thorn in his throat and find it difficult to calm down.
After a while, Zhou Zheng let out a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "How long will it take for me to stay Ning Wan?"
Lu Xiang looked at the sky outside, quickly answered, and said, "It will take half an hour at most."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I'll take a shower and take a break. Ning Wan, if I arrive early, Jiandou, you can take it on my behalf."
Lu Xiangsheng responded, looking at Zhou Zheng's back, feeling a little solemn.
Obviously, he still couldn't convince Zhou Zheng.
Lu Xiangguan glanced at Liu Liuzhe who was following him, Zhou Deqian, who was still lying on the edge of the sand table, and whispered: "Brother, has Duke Ding made up his mind?"
Lu Xiangsheng sighed lightly and said, "He has his considerations. From a height point of view, we are actually a bit narrow-minded."
Lu Xiangguan focused on the key points and agreed: "Duke Dingguo stands high and considers more than us. However, Dingguo Dingguo really decided to fight the Northern Expedition, what should we do?"
Lu Xiangsheng looked outside with a deep frown, noticing that Zhou Deqian had raised his head and stared at him with a burning look, his ears were almost standing up.
After a while, Lu Xiangsheng said, "If he decides, we can only do our best to fight the Northern Expedition. What else can we do?"
Lu Xiangguan said in his heart that he did not support the Northern Expedition very much, but he respected Zhou Zheng very much. Since Zhou Zheng was determined to fight for the Northern Expedition, there must be his last resort, so of course they must support it with all their strength.
Zhou Deqian heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, walked around the sand table and came to Lu Xiangsheng's body, and said, "Mr. Lu, can I be a forward? It's not that kind of forward, it's just in the forward."
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned, looking at Zhou Deqian who was excited and widened his eyes, his heart moved slightly, and said, "Tell me, have your second uncle made up his mind to fight the Northern Expedition next year?"
Zhou Deqian recalled and said, "No, as far as the last general knows, Jiang Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, Gao Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, and my father all opposed it, and the second uncle had never said it."
Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a while, and suddenly laughed: "If it is a Northern Expedition in the future, your father and your second uncle promise you to stay in Liaodong, and I will let you be the vanguard."
Lu Xiangguan suddenly started coughing, repeatedly winking Lu Xiangsheng.
This is the eldest son of the Zhou family. Duke Ding went from north to south and brought his experience, which clearly focused on training. The Northern Expedition was so dangerous. If this eldest son had nothing to do, no matter how great the contribution was!
Zhou Deqian never thought about this, and suddenly knelt on one knee and said, "I will take the order from the general, thank you for the commander!"
Seeing that Zhou Deqian was not arrogant, Lu Xiangsheng smiled with satisfaction and stood up and walked outside.
When Zhou Deqian saw Lu Xiangsheng leaving, he thought about it and suddenly ran towards Zhou Zheng's room.
Zhou Zhengzheng was lying in the bathtub and closed his eyes and pondered. Suddenly, he felt a towel on his shoulder and rubbed it. He couldn't help but turn his head to look.
Then Zhou Deqian smiled and said, "Uncle Second, I'll rub your back."
Zhou Zheng sat up with a smile, left his back to him, and said, "It's useless to convince me. You know your father's temper. If he becomes stubborn, I can't do anything to him."
Zhou Deshin worked hard to wipe Zhou Zheng's shoulders and said, "Dad, let me say, Second Uncle, as long as you promised me to stay in Liaodong, there will be no problem."
Zhou Zheng put his hands on his knees and said, "Have you figured out a solution?"
Zhou Deqian said, "When I returned to Beijing, I will go to Tianjin Wei first and stay at my grandfather for a few days. As long as my grandfather speaks, my father will definitely not dare to object."
Zhou Zheng hummed and laughed twice, saying, "You guy has caught your father's weakness."
Zhou Fang is a man who is filial, but he is also quite filial. If Zhou Qingli speaks, Zhou Fang will have no choice.
Zhou Deqian laughed and said, "Uncle Second, I want to transfer the Boy Scouts here. There is no need to have more than one hundred people. This place in Liaodong is better than they are in the camp for a year."
Zhou Zheng already knew what this guy was thinking, and he also intended to hone him, saying, "I can adjust you. If you make trouble here again, Lu Jiandou will not only not sell my face, but also have to punish him severely. You have to think it through."
Zhou Deqian didn't care at all and said, "Don't worry, Second Uncle, I won't lose your face. I will definitely be the first to climb up to the city of Shenyang."
Zhou Deqian was only fifteen years old and could not participate in a harsh battle. Listening to what he said, Zhou Zheng felt a little moved, turned his head and said, "Do you boy think I won't be in the Northern Expedition next year?"
Zhou Deqian seemed to have not heard it, rubbed Zhou Zheng's back hard and said, "Uncle Second, do you think I can climb up? I heard that Jianlu was very difficult to fight. You fought hard to win at the beginning, and it lost more than half of you..."
Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "Tell the truth."
Seeing that Zhou Zheng was serious, Zhou Deqian had to say, "Uncle Second, if you make up your mind, the sand table deduction just now would not be like that, and you would definitely win in a straightforward way."
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and then became aware.
Although he wanted to fight the Northern Expedition very much, he was actually hesitating. He knew very well that the reason why he performed sand table deduction with Lu Xiangsheng was actually a kind of concession, convinced himself to give up the Northern Expedition?
Then he frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "You kid are just being smart."
Zhou Deqian rubbed his back hard and said, "Anyway, no matter what, I want to be a striker."
