Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1199
Although he hadn't slept all night, Wang Meng's energy was exceptionally strong, and he exhaled a long mouthful of turbid air against the cool morning wind, and even the trace of tiredness on his face disappeared.

Although this night of sitting withered was not enough to bring about any radical changes in him, but he knew in his heart that today's self is still different from yesterday's after all.

It was a very mysterious feeling. If he wanted to express it in words, it would be that he had studied a lot in the Xinshi Pavilion in the past years, almost swallowing all kinds of knowledge into it.

But no matter how much he learns, it is not enough for him to have a clearer understanding of the world. On the contrary, a large number of different and even contradictory views collide fiercely in his heart, and he does not know how to choose, so that he loses his own Feeling very confused, and even began to doubt whether he had the talent and qualifications to obey General Shen.

Wang Meng's biggest achievement this night is that he understood the words "to apply what he has learned", or he had his own understanding of it.The four characters he recognized are not focused on "learning" or "use", but on "to".

Knowledge is boundless, and use is infinite, neither of which can be fully grasped by a limited human being. What human beings can grasp lies in the word "Zhi", in other words, do what you can do.

Although this question is simple, it is like enlightenment to Wang Meng.Since he left Xinshiguan and went west, especially on the journey away from Hongnong, he acted like a fool, all his previous knowledge was useless, and it seemed that everything had to be started from scratch.

He could feel the coldness of the general Xiao Yuandong towards him, and he himself was deeply ashamed of his ignorance, not knowing what he could do, especially when he thought of the great general's words before his departure that he would use Yuntai as a famous general to calm Guanzhong. Feng Yi encouraged him and felt even more ashamed.

But after realizing this point, Wang Meng realized how ridiculous his self-ashamed thoughts were. It seemed that he was reviewing his own shortcomings, but it was actually a kind of pretentious arrogance.The reason why he feels ashamed is because he thinks he can do something, but he doesn't do it, but ignores why he thinks he can do it?

He is just a new student recruited by Xingtai, and he is only the head of a county that has not been completely recovered.

Even if Feng Yi, a famous official of the Han Dynasty, encouraged him after the general, it was only a kind of favor and expectation. In fact, his ability is only suitable for serving as a small county magistrate. It is not yet known whether he can fulfill his duties. Compared with Feng Yi?Wang Shi used tens of thousands of elite troops in his westward expedition, and he used a huge amount of material resources. How could success or failure depend on him alone!
Weak in talent and low in position, with big thoughts in mind, follow the boundless with the limit, peril!Taking the troubles that are already beyond one's responsibilities and abilities into one's arms, the ambition is inflated but nothing can be achieved, and in the end, naturally, it is only the breeding of depression.

For example, those few sad captives kept saying that they could only take a risky fight in order to survive.But if it's just for survival, why bother to provoke Wang Shi, whose morale is like a rainbow?It's nothing more than being greedy for rich supplies, having greater delusional demands, and placing ambitions on luck, but in the end, they are seeking their own death.

These cognitions are derived from Wang Meng's associations with art and people.Xiao Yuandong suggested that he sharpen his courage by beating a few people with his hands, there is no problem with that, as he himself is the main general of the Dian army, only for killing.Although Wang Meng was tempted, he finally gave up, not because he didn't dare to kill, but because he didn't intend to be a butcher, and this method was useless to him.

There is a limit to manpower, and there is also a limit to means. Indiscriminate punishment means cruelty. It is true that in troubled times, severe punishment must be used. ...

Fascinated by the thought, Wang Meng even went into a daze during breakfast, out of his mind.Xing Yue, who was sitting next to him, watched Wang Meng insert his fingers into the hot rice without realizing it, and inevitably became worried. He raised his hand and lightly touched Xiao Yuandong who was on the other side.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuandong was already happy, instead of reminding him, he signaled the soldiers to add another spoonful of rice to Wang Meng's tableware, so that his fingers could be soaked deeper, and when Wang Meng still didn't react, he couldn't help feeling worried.

Although this kid has a bit of unsophisticated arrogance, and it is disgusting to ask questions, but it is the person who the general personally confessed to take care of. It's not easy to explain.

He raised his leg and kicked Wang Meng's knee, Wang Meng was startled suddenly, the tableware was overturned on his robe, and then he felt the burning pain in his left hand, he hastily raised his hand and blew violently.

"so far so good……"

Xiao Yuandong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and he was not completely stupid if he could feel the pain, but he always felt that this kid was a little abnormal, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he should take some precautions, and waited for Wang Meng to tidy up in a hurry. Xing went over and said: "The army is exhausting and tiring, so I won't say more. Since you are accompanying the army, Wang Cheng, naturally you won't let you be killed by thieves. But if you feel unwell, please leave a letter for me. Report after the war..."

Although the words were not kind, but the tone was rare and gentle. After Wang Meng heard the words, he was a little flattered, and he stood up and replied: "Thank you for your care, I have nothing... Sigh, I still have to confess to the king again." "Yesterday, Meng Lang made a lot of stupid noises, disturbing the princes and princes a lot."

After a night of enlightenment, Wang Meng also felt that this General Xiao treated him indifferently. It is no wonder that he is the other party. He traveled with the army as the magistrate of Gu County, but unconsciously asked many military questions. The other party was willing to explain, even if it was just perfunctory. kind of tolerance.Even if he wants to ask a question, he should also ask about his own affairs.

Xiao Yuandong would not change his mind easily, seeing that Wang Meng's reply returned to normal, he ignored him, and after breakfast, he led a hundred soldiers to go ahead.

Afterwards, the team continued to march, and this time Wang Meng stopped asking questions curiously, but began to focus on his own affairs.Although I don't know much about the situation in Xiagui, a considerable part of the goods and luggage in the team belong to the county government, such as farm tools and tea for reclamation and trade, which he needs to be responsible for after he came to rule. affairs.

Although Xiao Yuandong's attack last night was decisive and arrogant, he did not underestimate the danger. After all, the army of Wang Shi did not have an absolute advantage in this section of the journey. There are supplements that cannot be missed.

So after repelling the enemy who invaded last night, Xiao Yuandong also passed on the military situation to the front and back.When the team reached the middle of the day, there were hundreds of cavalry chasing up from the direction of Hongnong on the back road, half to supplement the guards, and half to sweep away the bandits.Regardless of whether those bandits succeeded or not, since they dared to attack Wang Shi's team, they must not be spared lightly, and they can use this to carry out a new round of sweeping.

After walking like this for another two days, the team has reached the south edge of Dali City, Fengyi County.This is the actual enemy-occupied area. More than ten thousand Xiongnu and puppet Han bandits stationed in Dali City, and set up wild eyes and ears all over the surrounding area.

Although Wang Meng tried his best to imagine the danger of this trip, he still didn't expect Wang Shi's forward troops to be so strong: they were walking along the Weishui River, and they were still on the north bank of the Weishui River. Going down directly from the enemy's garrison, Wang Meng looked north in the team and could even see the hungry eyes of the soldiers on the enemy's arrow tower looking at the team!

This is no longer about sneaking into the enemy's rear, it is simply blatantly walking through the enemy's backyard!Although Wang Meng is no longer keen to ask about the military, he can't help but want to ask General Xiao, is it really good to pass by so almost humiliating?

Obviously, the Xiongnu bandit army could not stand the Jin army's publicity, especially since there were not many soldiers on this route, but the luggage was so rich.Therefore, on the evening of the first day after arriving in Dali County, the enemy army assembled a team of more than 2000 people and wandered not far from the north bank of the Weishui River.

This feeling of walking with the enemy is really uncomfortable, even Wang Meng felt terrified. As for the ordinary soldiers in the team, they were sweating profusely from fright. In addition, it is more dangerous to leave the team privately, and maybe they will break up in a hurry.

When camping at night, there was constant clamor outside, as if the enemy might storm the camp at any time, but the war never happened.

The enemy was so hesitant and dare not fight, the deterrence will inevitably be greatly reduced. After Wang Meng tossed around in the middle of the night, he slept peacefully when it was approaching dawn. Scared?If you are really timid, why bother to gather people to wait and see, and let yourself fall into the morale of the army?Is it just to help the Jin army escort a journey?
In fact, Wang Meng was not the only one who was puzzled. At this moment, the Xiongnu army was also arguing over whether to attack or not.
