Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Sun Xiaoyi took Chunchun upstairs. Seeing that Wang Xiaolie had entered the pavilion, he asked Chunchun to wait outside while he and Cui Qing entered the pavilion.

Wang Xiaolie saw Sun Xiaoyi and asked, "I see you have a female companion, why don't you come in?"

Sun Xiaoyi was stunned and said casually: "When a man talks about something, how do you get a woman to participate? She can just wait outside."

Wang Xiaolie said nothing and looked at Sun Xiaoyi. After a while, he said: "There is an empty pavilion next to it. Let him wait in the pavilion."

Cui Qing said yes, got up and left the pavilion, and arranged for Chunchun to go.

Wang Xiaolie said to Sun Xiaoyi: "Sit down, let's sit down and talk."

Sun Xiaoyi carefully sat down on the side and confessed to Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie said: "A long time ago, I heard Shi Rong mention your name. He said that you are born with supernatural powers, and you are particularly good at fighting and fighting. What's more important is that you are not afraid of life or death on the battlefield, and you always charge. Before. A few days ago, I heard that you were seriously injured on the battlefield and your intestines were leaked out. I felt pity."

Sun Xiaoyi couldn't help but feel flattered when she heard Wang Xiaolie talk about her past, and she was very close to him. Said: "The general is just doing his duty. Since he has become a soldier, he should act like a soldier. What if a soldier is afraid of death when he goes to the battlefield?"

Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, how can a soldier be afraid of death when he goes to the battlefield? That's how fighting is. If you are afraid of death, you will die first! On the contrary, only those who risk their lives can survive. "

Sun Xiaoyi scratched his head in embarrassment: "I don't think about that at all, general. I just think about how to destroy the enemy and whether I can protect myself after the war."

"Okay, okay." Wang Xiaolie nodded repeatedly. "It is precisely because you don't want to that you can survive on the battlefield. Since you have become a soldier and are on the battlefield, you should think about the country. If you only think about your own safety, what kind of behavior is that? Are you going to attend the military academy when you return to Luoyang this time? "

Sun Xiaoyi said: "Exactly. Thanks to the support of the superior, I was given this opportunity."

Wang Xiaolie said: "This is a good opportunity, don't waste it. Now in our army, all officers must learn from the military academy. After studying in the military academy, you will expand your horizons, increase your knowledge, and understand Why should we be soldiers and why should we fight? Soldiers in the army, when they know why they are soldiers, they will not just serve for three meals a day. When they know why they are fighting, they will not Go and fight for a few words from the chief."

Sun Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Xuanfu's words really spoke to my heart. I just couldn't stand the oppression of the Jurchens, so I chopped off the heads of the Jurchens who went to suppress them. Later I thought about it and joined the army. Just to drive the Jurchens out of the Central Plains!"

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said: "So after you joined the army, you fought extremely bravely, incomparable to others. As long as you remember this original intention, your future prospects are limitless."

Sun Xiaoyi said: "Thank you very much for your good words."

At this moment, the waiter came in, replaced the leftover soup and water, and served the dishes again.

Wang Xiaolie said to Sun Xiaoyi: "Let's use some more vegetables. Just now, a few drunk officers were causing trouble outside, so they didn't eat, okay?"

Sun Xiaoyi said: "I was full just now——"

Wang Xiaolie said: "I just saw that you were not satisfied with your meal, so I specially ordered the famous mutton casserole here to let you make up for it."

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and gave them to Sun Xiaoyi, and then picked up the chopsticks himself.

Sun Xiaoyi took the chopsticks, feeling a little embarrassed. When he was young, he was hungry just after eating and didn't mind eating another meal.

After eating for a while, Wang Xiaolie put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. Sun Xiaoyi hurriedly put down his chopsticks with a piece of meat in his mouth. He wanted to chew it but didn't dare to chew it. He was extremely embarrassed.

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand and said: "You go on eating, no matter what I do. I have a bad appetite and can't eat anymore."

How dare Sun Xiaoyi continue to eat? He swallowed the piece of meat in three bites at a time, just pretending that he was full.

Wang Xiaolie said: "After you go back, apologize to the female companion army again and again. A few drunken officers made a scene today, and you didn't have a pleasant meal and made you angry. Don't worry, those few If the officers just leave, I will order Shi Rong to deal with them."

Sun Xiaoyi said hurriedly: "They also made trouble after drinking, and they didn't remember it when they woke up. Commander Cui just scared them, so forget it."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Why forget it? Drinking is not allowed in the army because they are afraid of causing trouble after drinking. In the army, even if you have to drink, you should control the amount. If you don't remember a sentence after drinking, then forget it. ”

Sun Xiaoyi was very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Wang Xiaolie said: "After you go back, just prepare to go to the military academy with peace of mind. - By the way, are you literate?"

Sun Xiaoyi said: "Sometimes, I went to private school for a few months and got to know a few people. After joining the army, I learned some more in the army."

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's not enough. A military academy is a school after all, and the most important thing in it is learning. How can you do it if you don't know how to read? In the following days, when you have nothing to do, you should read more and strive to know more. A little bit of Chinese characters. After arriving at the military academy, I should at least be able to read the textbooks."

Sun Xiaoyi said hurriedly: "Read more. Can Xuanfu give me some advice on which books I should read?"

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "This is a bit difficult for me. Most of the textbooks in the military academy are written in plain language, and there are not many ancient military texts in them. You should read more writings by modern people, and you can put reading ancient texts for later. . Especially the articles written by people after Ouyang Xiu in this dynasty are easy to understand, so read them more."

Sun Xiaoyi scratched his head: "To be honest, Xuan Fu, I don't know half a liter of Chinese characters, and not many people in this dynasty know him."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It doesn't matter, just pick out some famous works and read them. For example, if you choose eight of ten famous works by Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi and others, you will be familiar with them."

Sun Xiaoyi passed by.

Wang Xiaolie added: "When you go back, I apologize to my female companion. It was my inability to manage the army that led to what happened today."

Sun Xiaoyi hurriedly said he didn't dare. What's more, he was stopped by Wang Xiaolie. Said: "If you are full of wine and food, I will not stay."

Sun Xiaoyi had no choice but to leave the attic. He saw Cui Qing standing at the door and greeted him.

Cui Qing accompanied Sun Xiaoyi, picked up Chunchun, and walked directly to the door of the restaurant, where they said goodbye.

Back in the pavilion, Cui Qing asked Wang Xiaolie: "Why does Xuanfu value this person? Although he is a fierce general, it is not uncommon in the army."

Wang Xiaolie said: "What is rare is that he still retains his original intention to join the army. He did not join the army and was led astray by other officers. He only wanted to be promoted. This is the most rare thing. We have always said that we should maintain How many people can maintain their original aspirations?"
