Chapter 741 Let’s Leave It Like This
The leader's vicissitudes made the two deputies behind him feel a little sad. Deputy A squatted beside the leader and said, "Chen Chaogong's men have been settled. They hope that we can cooperate and rescue Chen Chaogong from Baihua City."
"How to save them?" The leader frowned, exhausted. "They are not unaware of our current situation. Hundreds of thousands of people need to survive. How can they risk their lives with Chen Chaogong?"
"If you don't cooperate, it will be difficult to explain to the Kinmen base."
Deputy B stood behind the leader, his hands in his trouser pockets, his face also full of worry. "In terms of force, we are no match for Kinmen Base, and in terms of supplies, we are not as good as Baihua City. If Kinmen Base was closer to us and Baihua City was bigger, we wouldn't be in this situation today."
The reason why the merger with the Kinmen base was delayed was because Xiaozhou City was too far away from the Kinmen base. When the snowstorm came, the road was difficult to travel on. People thought that it would be easier to travel after the snow melted, but mutant animals popped up like mushrooms after a spring rain, making the merger road even more difficult to travel on.
Later, as Baihua City developed, Xiaozhou City overestimated its own capabilities and wanted to annex Baihua City. Not only was it defeated, but they later thought that since they could not annex Baihua City, they might as well integrate themselves into Baihua City. As a result, Baihua City took in a few thousand people, and when it had 10,000 residents, it refused to take in any more people.
The leader of Xiaozhou City sighed heavily, as if he had given his orders.
"Let's do this for now. We should try our best to satisfy the demands of Chen Chaogong and his people, and try our best to distance ourselves from them. If they ask us to help rescue Chen Chaogong, we should say that we don't have the ability to do so. Also, we should report their movements in Xiaozhou City to Baihua City. We must please both sides, but we cannot offend both sides. Survival is very difficult, but we must grit our teeth and finish this difficult journey."
The fate of the sandwich may be the direction that Xiaozhou City must decide on for a long time in the future.
The news of Chen Chaogong's entrapment was quickly sent out from Xiaozhou City and passed to the Kinmen base, but was intercepted by Chen Chaoxi. In the end, General Chen was not informed. The next day, Chen Chaogong's subordinates received a reply from the Kinmen base.
[Keep your troops in place and wait and see what happens]
These eight words stopped Chen Chaogong's subordinates from thinking of attacking Baihua City by force.
So Chen Chaogong settled down in Baihua City, a place with beautiful scenery and full of flowers and plants.
The scenery of Baihua City is really beautiful, but Chen Chaogong has no mood to appreciate it. He frowned and sat in his beautiful house for three or four days. Only after receiving the reply from Kinmen Base from his subordinates did he walk out of his house.
He thought that the Kinmen base would not try to rescue him in the short term, so he felt relieved and began to observe the environment around his residence.
A fiery red sunset slowly fell from the top of the mountain. In the stone house next door lived a middle-aged couple. They were carrying hoes and loosening the soil in front of the yard. When they saw Chen Chaogong coming out, the man straightened up and greeted Chen Chaogong, "Mr. Chen, you are out. Are you going to cultivate the land?"
The man's attitude was very good, just as Chen Chaogong had requested to An Ran. The people of Baihua City were extremely polite to him, as if he was a distinguished guest visiting Baihua City.
