Gao Wu: Starting from Awakening the Bloodline of the Demon King
Chapter 138
That night, An Xia Zong and Nan Yan Zong were stationed in the small town. Su An called the deputy battalion commander of Dusi Military Camp to come over and ask the other party's manpower to clean the battlefield and strengthen the town's defense.
Since the town has been recovered, it must be garrisoned with troops to prevent it from being taken away by the demon army again. Su An has no intention of continuing to struggle and can just defend the town in the short term.
They don't have enough troops, so it would be great if they can hold on to this victory.
When Xu Chengzhi, deputy battalion commander of Dusi, met Su An, he smiled so much that his face looked like a chrysanthemum:
"Sect Master Su is really talented. In less than a day, with just the combat power of a three-star sect, he annihilated four enemy battalions and a regiment, killing the enemy's regiment commander, chief of staff and other important targets, and for Yan Guo regained Wumeng Town, I am so impressed!"
As soon as he stuck his buttocks out, Su An knew what he was going to fart. She was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and said straight to the point:
"What Deputy Battalion Commander Xu means is that you also participated in this battle?"
Xu Chengzhi rubbed his hands and moved closer to Su An: "I don't dare to ask for more, as long as Sect Master Su admits that I brought a team of people to participate in the whole process.
"Sect Master Su, just ask for the price. Although my position is low, I still have some connections in the family."
Su An became more interested and asked directly: "Where is Deputy Battalion Commander Xu's home?"
"My second uncle is the deputy division commander, and my father is the deputy chief of staff of the regiment." When talking about his family background, Xu Chengzhi straightened his back a little.
Su An then understood that the Xu family was a family of officials in Dusi. Although it was not top-notch, it was still quite powerful, and Xu Chengzhi was a descendant of the Xu family.
Lingdong Province, as a border province with the Monster Clan in the north, commanded strong troops and strong horses. It has three reorganized divisions under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of nearly [-].
Judging from Xu Chengzhi's age, it can be inferred that his grandfather is not far away from retirement and is unlikely to become a full division official.
If the Xu family is the top family in Dusi, then the highest official position should not be just a deputy division commander.
The reason why Su An was sure that the other party was a member of the side branch was, on the one hand, considering the other party's previous attitude towards him, and on the other hand, because of the title "Second Uncle".
If Xu Chengzhi is a direct descendant of the Xu family, he should say "my grandfather" instead of the second uncle or the third uncle.
This can be supported by the fact that the other party's father is only the deputy chief of staff of the regiment.
All in all, Xu Chengzhi's background is neither small nor big, and he is someone he can work with.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Xu just said that we 'annihilated' all the demon troops in the town?" Su An asked noncommittally.
Xu Chengzhi immediately perked up and said resolutely: "Yes, it's total annihilation! It's just a few stragglers who are gone. It won't affect the determination of total annihilation. Sect Leader Su can rest assured!"
Su An carefully and thoughtfully confirmed: "Deputy Battalion Commander Xu is so sure?"
Xu Chengzhi came up to Su An, lowered his voice and said excitedly:
"After I learned about Sect Master Su's record, I immediately called my father. Originally, the regiment was not sure whether to devote all its support to the group, but now they have made up their mind. The troops will arrive at Wumeng Town tomorrow!"
Although the Anxia Sect is powerful in combat, it is a social sect after all, with only dozens of personnel. On their own, they cannot garrison this important node in Wumeng Town, and they need the cooperation of Dusi's troops.
The Extraordinary Sect's participation in this battle was to coordinate with Dusi's army.
The first order An Xia Zong received was to support Dusi's military camp. After repelling the demon troops, he was supposed to join forces with Xu Chengzhi and others to defend the camp.
It's just that the Anxia Sect's fighting power was impressive, and they achieved results far beyond what others expected.
The meaning of Xu Chengzhi's words was that with a little operation of the regiment headquarters, Dusi could define the battle to defeat the small town defenders as a total annihilation.
There is a big difference between the ratings of rout and total annihilation, and the military merit points are different.
Of course Su An wants more military bonuses.
More importantly, as long as he agrees to Xu Chengzhi's request, he can sell the Xu family a favor and establish a relationship with the other party, thus expanding his circle of friends and creating a broader development space for Anxia Sect.
Seeing Su An's hesitation, Xu Chengzhi persuaded him quickly:
"The demon's entire regiment was wiped out by Sect Master Su, and all regiment-level officers were also wiped out by Sect Master Su. There is no problem at all in defining such a battle as total annihilation.
"My father said it. Not only did the regiment mean this, but the second uncle also agreed!"
Su An looked at Xu Chengzhi and realized that this guy was working as a lobbyist on behalf of the Dusi Youth League and the Xu family.
Although the war with the demon has just begun, Dusi has already suffered heavy losses. Each department has won less and lost more, and it is not good to look at. Everyone from the commander to the ordinary officers is extremely eager for military glory.
Under this situation, Xu Chengzhi led his troops to cooperate with the Anxia Sect. They fought three battles a day. First, they annihilated all the demons that invaded the military camp, and then worked together to form a reinforced regiment to eliminate the demons, and regained the important military node Wu. Meng Zhen, this is enough to make the big bosses of the Capital Command Department feel proud.
And the Xu family can rely on this merit to be promoted to a higher position.
As long as Su'an admits that the Dusi Regiment Headquarters was behind the command in this battle, after the war, both Xu Chengzhi and his father will take a further step in their career and make friends with the entire regiment's officers!
Mutual benefit can be described as a win-win situation.
But that's not all.
If it were just like this, the definition of total annihilation or not was not important at all. It was all trivial and not worth mentioning compared to the overall military achievements achieved by the Anxia Sect.
But looking at what Xu Chengzhi meant, he insisted on this and must make Su An agree with the word "total annihilation".
Do the Xu family and Du Si care about the extra military merit?
of course not.
What they care about is whether Su Andong agrees.
If Su An disagrees, then the whole thing is just Su An selling favors to the Xu family and Du Si. If the incident comes to light one day, Su An will not be affected at all and can easily take her out.
Because of this, Su An is likely to betray them in the future due to some struggles or interests.
For example, he said that he was coerced by the Xu family and was forced to give up some of his military achievements.
And once Su An agrees with the word "total annihilation" and gets more military awards for it, then Su An will join them, and the other party will not have to worry about Su An betraying him in the future.
After all, this is a petition.
The Xu family, or the head of the regiment behind Xu Chengzhi, insists on asking Su An to surrender. This reflects the intense factional and power struggle within the capital. They want to prevent Su An from being used by their opponents, and use this incident as an example. By criticizing them.
This is where Su An hesitated.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to get into trouble because of this petty gain.
"Sect Master Su, I really want to be your friend. As long as you agree, you just have to set the conditions. If you are useful in the future, the Xu family will never frown!"
Xu Chengzhi begged for help, with a sincere attitude and a very low profile.
Seeing the other party's low profile, Su An knew that if he refused, he would definitely offend the Xu family and the Dusi Regiment Headquarters, and turn against the other party. Xu Chengzhi and his son would hate him to death.
At this time, Xu Chengzhi had two attitudes towards persuading Su An. One was to keep his stance very low, and the other was to make threats, such as bringing up the matter of Battalion Commander Xu and throwing dirty water on him.
There is no doubt that the first attitude is more acceptable than the second attitude. But just because the other party shows the first attitude, you cannot ignore the second possibility.
The other party did not show the second attitude because they believed that Su An was a smart person who could think of their methods and did not need to threaten. It was not that they would not use the second method.
So Su An, who had done nothing, was suddenly at the forefront of the storm. If he didn't advance, he would retreat.
Either agree to Xu Chengzhi and establish a relationship with the Xu family and Dusi. We will cooperate with each other for a win-win situation in the future, but this will leave the hidden danger of lying about military achievements;
Either reject the other party, and then turn against the Xu family and even some of the Dusi officers, which will give you a group of powerful enemies.
There is no third option, there is no possibility of being neither good nor bad.
The situation and events, environment and rules pushed Su An to a crossroads. It was no longer possible for him to get out cleanly, and he had to make a choice.
It is said that people cannot help themselves in the world, but this is the case.
Su An smiled slightly: "I don't have any strong points. My biggest advantage is that I like to make friends.
"Since Battalion Commander Xu thinks so highly of me, I want to meet and have a talk with Chief of Staff Xu.
"It has to be tonight."
After hearing the first half of the words, Xu Chengzhi was overjoyed to see Su An remove the word "vice" from the title, showing his closeness and respect.
When Su An finished speaking, Xu Chengzhi was stunned and suddenly felt unhappy.
His father will come tomorrow. Why is Su An tormenting him all night? His attitude is so arrogant and his actions are so arrogant. Do you really think you are awesome?
Su An did not push, and said calmly: "I still have something to do. Battalion Commander Xu can call and ask first. Come to me when you get an answer."
With that said, he turned around and left, no longer giving Xu Chengzhi a chance to speak.
Arriving at the place where the members of the Anxia Sect were resting, Su An opened the car door and got in. He took out his cell phone, lit a cigarette, and called Wang Zhe and Zhang Zhenlin.
After a while, Su An put down her phone, with a contemptuous sneer on her lips.
He is very generous and is willing to give up some military achievements in many ways for multiple friends. He is also willing to strongly support the Nanyan Sect in order to seize the rare opportunity for the Anxia League to leave Dongping District.
But only if he is willing.
Who is Xu Chengzhi? He's just a loser who ran away from the battlefield. How dare he be shameless and secretly force him to leave behind a clue that could lead to a future fallout between himself and his sect?
The Xu family has some influence in Dusi, but how does it compare to the Huang family behind Huang Hai?
He could personally send Huang Hai to prison, causing the Huang family to lose important financial resources and get out of Dongping District in embarrassment. How could he be threatened by the Xu family now?
When he is in a good mood, he is willing to share some military merits with the other party, but the other party is so ungrateful that he still dares to slap him in the face and forcefully tie him to the other party's weak and unstable ship?
Do you really think he is still the high school student who just walked out of campus and has nothing?
Since the other party is shameless, then give them some color.
Two hours later, Xu Chengzhi braved the cold wind and arrived outside the town, waiting on the roadside for his father, Xu Pingfeng, who drove up.
He didn't quite understand why Xu Pingfeng was willing to come all night.
He had two phone calls with Xu Pingfeng.
He made the first call, telling Su An about her excessive demands, accusing Su An of being arrogant, and asking Xu Pingfeng how to beat and intimidate Su An.
As for Xu Pingfeng agreeing to Su An, Xu Chengzhi never thought about it. No matter how Xu Pingfeng was Dusi's deputy chief of staff, he could still be called over by Su An in the middle of the night?
What about walking the dog?
Xu Pingfeng's reaction was not what Xu Chengzhi expected, and he got angry and roared.
But the point where Xu Pingfeng is more mature and smarter than Xu Chengzhi is that he wonders why Su An dared to make such a request, so he asked Xu Chengzhi to wait before hanging up the phone.
He decided to inquire about Su An's background.
If the other party has no background and just bosses them around because they can fight and have some military exploits, then Xu Pingfeng will teach Su An what government authority is.
Xu Chengzhi didn't wait long, Xu Pingfeng called him back, and there was only one urgent word in the whole process: Don't move, I'm coming over now!
Since the town has been recovered, it must be garrisoned with troops to prevent it from being taken away by the demon army again. Su An has no intention of continuing to struggle and can just defend the town in the short term.
They don't have enough troops, so it would be great if they can hold on to this victory.
