Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] On War

Just come back!As soon as Qin Yu went out... forgetting that he hadn't seen each other for several years, he immediately forgot about the fight between the two women and ran inside.

The man has a big heart, he doesn't say anything, and he doesn't think about it deliberately.Not to mention worrying, Qin Yu's ability is there, the achievements of these years are in front of him, he is already a leader among young generals.But I can obviously feel inexplicably at ease in my heart. It may be the so-called teacher-student friendship. I don’t think I have the consciousness to be a teacher, so I’m not sure.

It hasn't changed much, it's a little stronger than when it was out of Beijing, but sitting with Cheng Chu always looks a bit thin.Looking at his appearance and dressing up, he went back home. He was clean and tidy in a long gown of a scholar. He stood on the street as if he was a student. No one believed that this was someone who had just experienced the test of life and death from the front line.

There was a banquet arranged, and the chairman's seat was reserved for me. Ying greeted thoughtfully as a hostess.Mr. Cheng sat on the head, hugging and teasing the two children with a smile, Lan Ling sat down politely, glanced sideways when he saw me coming back, turned his head and ignored it, it seemed that he didn't get to talk to Ying today. I have benefited from it.

Seeing that I became excited, Qin Yu stood up and prostrated without waiting to walk in front of me. He didn't hold on to him with one hand, so he quickly adjusted his emotions and said comfortingly: "Get up, we don't like this!"

Cheng Chu didn't wink, he ate and drank as usual, he was kicked by the old man, he came over to smile like he did in his graduation photo, and stood side by side with me to take advantage of Qin Yu.

"Sit down quickly," added strength to help Qin Yu up, pretending to have just discovered Princess Lanling with a look of shock on his face, and immediately stepped forward to pay respects and pay homage.

Lan Ling put on a smiling face and waved his hands, and greeted Ying who was at the side, and said affectionately: "I brought the children to see your talented girl today, and I didn't expect to have a lot of fun." Said this, pointing at the lower seat, and said to Qin Yu : "Siye is about to sit here. I was just listening to you talking about the war, but Zihao interrupted me. This is the courtesy. The brotherhood has also been shown, so let's go ahead and say, today you are the protagonist."

Qin Yu responded, turned his head to look at me, sat down shyly and shyly smiled at Lan Ling.

"When the master comes back, don't hide the good wine," Mr. Cheng lifted nine catties and smiled at the table.Handing the child to Ying, "I've been busy for a long time, daughter-in-law, go down and have a rest."

Ying took the child with a few words of politeness, and left all the way here, turned to the threshold and gave me a triumphant look, raised her pointed chin and walked away on the wind.

Lanling clapped his hands and complained to Mr. Cheng: "There are many talents, and they are taking wine and resting. Drive me away?" He hugged the sugarcane and stood up with a smile, "Forget it, I won't sit here to attract attention , You guys, go talk. Siye, how can the imperial court grant rewards? You can’t just avoid it because of this, and sit in my house in the morning when you are free, and you haven’t heard enough about the things in the south.”

Seeing us all standing up, Lan Ling waved his hand. "I won't give it away. We live close here. Neighbors walk around each other. There will be more exchanges in the future. It doesn't take so much courtesy."

That is to say, my master has to be considerate in front of outsiders, and he sent Lan Ling to the door all the way from the banquet, and ignored me all the way.When he was about to get in the car, he turned his face and grinned, and said softly, "I'll let you know: you're dead!" He snorted, got into the car and drove away.

I am dead?What is this!Who is it that clamors to come here to kick the field?It's none of my business if she doesn't take advantage of herself, she's wronged or not.But it's good, at least Ying won't trouble me tonight, go drink first, never afraid of death threats.

A jar of the first batch of steamed baijiu was taken out of the wine cellar, which is not an old thing.But in the eyes of the old man, it is high-end goods.He was the only one who was persuaded from the left to the right to drink vigorously, and he was refreshed after drinking a pot.Suddenly knocked on the case and asked: "Siye, there is no outsider here, you are the son-in-law of my Cheng family, tell me about your future plans!"

It seems that you don't treat me as an outsider. Seeing Qin Yu smiling at the old man, he bowed his head and said nothing.Mr. Cheng's question was too direct. In the future, he planned to belong to the private area in many people's hearts, and it was difficult for even the closest people to answer.Smiling, he said: "I'm afraid Siye hasn't made a plan yet. When I return to Beijing, I have to listen to the dispatch of the Ministry of War and follow the arrangement of the imperial court."

Qin Yu took advantage of my words and nodded quickly, and bowed to Mr. Cheng, "This is beyond my own business..."

"Fart," Mr. Cheng laughed, and nodded at us with his chopsticks, "If you can't let it go, you can't let it go to your uncle? I don't know what Du Feng's plan is? He's your uncle, and I'm your mother-in-law. Listen who?"

Didn't understand, looked at the old man and Qin Yu, and Cheng Chu sat across from him, with an honest expression on his face, pulling food into his mouth, as if he had nothing to do with anyone.Puzzled and asked: "Why..."

"Not really," Mr. Cheng interrupted, "Zihao is a smart man who knows how to put things aside, but the two of them don't understand. Cheng Chu is easy to talk about, he can't make big waves if I live for a day, but this Qin family ..." After a pause, he looked at my three juniors, "When people are old, they think a lot, and they look forward and backward to make children laugh. Siye, I have a lifelong friendship with your grandfather, and I will tell you what I have to say Speaking of it. No matter what the Du family plans, it has nothing to do with your Qin family's use of troops in the east. You just want to shake up the prestige of the Qin family. This time, according to Grandpa's words, there are too many people in the world who are better than you, and there is no shortage of you one."

Now that I understand it, the old man's words are put here.The military action against Mohe was imperative for the Tang Empire in the past few years. The Ministry of War transferred Qin Yu back from Jiannan this time. I am afraid that a big reason is to be ready to be dispatched at any time when he intends to send troops to Liaodong. The old man can speak clearly. It seems that the military It is really possible for Wu Shang to send Qin Yufa to Liaodong.

Frowning, he glanced at Qin Yu, and saw that he didn't argue any more. It is estimated that he had already had this intention in his heart. "Didn't the imperial court just start to operate in Liaodong? The Korean people in the east of Liaochengzhou are still in a mess, and the rebellion of killing Ming and killing today is not so fast, right?"

The old man held his wine glass and shook his head, "No action in three to five years and no army in three to five years are two different things in the past. Now Tubo in the west is weak, and internal changes are just around the corner. There will be no change in ten or eight years. The underworld soldiers have come back one after another. The old man calculated, if Longyou does not expand to the northwest, there are 17 elite soldiers under Lao Qi's men, and the 7 city defense troops of miscellaneous people are enough. The remaining [-] recruited before the war People in Longyou can't afford to support them, so it's not worth the loss to transport more food and grass. If they don't go east, they should have been sent back to the countryside to work in farming."

"Seventy thousand?"

Qin Yu nodded, put the wine glass lightly on the table and filled it up slowly, "Grandpa said it's reasonable, once the battle in Longyou is freed up, it's time to go to the east."

"Isn't Old General Liang holding palms over there?" It's not a joke to drive past 7 people, all of them are elite soldiers who just came down from the battlefield, each of them has sharpened their teeth and waited to drink blood.Judging from the combat effectiveness of this year, if conditions permit.Seventy thousand elite Tang Jun is enough to turn over the earth.

"Old Shacai," the old man smiled and looked around the three juniors, "It is because of the shortage of manpower that Lao Liang was sent there. He is the only one who can do this job. Now that the battle in the west is certain, Liang Lao Shacai should come back. Your Grandpa Liang has This ability, 3000 people in his hands can destroy 3 enemies, and [-] people in his hands can't even break the window paper, let alone [-]."

As soon as the words came out, the four burst out laughing.In the eyes of these elders.Liang Jianfang can live up to the saying of a brave general and a fierce general. He is not afraid of death and dares to take the lead in rushing into the enemy's line.In terms of overall quality, there is still a little gap between generals and famous generals, so no one dares to provoke him, but he is often cast aside and despised by the old coaches.

"Just smile, don't talk about it outside." Mr. Cheng is in the mood of having a family banquet today.In front of the juniors, he even mentioned the shortcomings of his old comrades-in-arms, and his words were very open. I guess it was to create an unrestrained atmosphere first. First, it was probably paving the way for him to talk about more unscrupulous topics later. Second, it was very face-saving. Home, let me know that he never treats me as a foreign name.

The rough words are detailed, and they hardly said anything nasty like I trust you, Cheng, and Wang, etc., and a few irrelevant nonsense.Even in the outrageous and unreasonable, you can feel these subconsciously, very kind, and more willing to accept.The old man's living has become an art, and to put it bluntly, it is also driven by family interests, but he can humanize this interest demand and express it as something similar to family affection.

In his topic, he never mentioned any points that should be paid attention to in the field of cooperation between the two companies, what should be done in Longyou Farm, what kind of labor.Cotton.Food, Lingnan.Earnings, none.It gave people the illusion that the old man had no hobbies other than extorting toilet water and bullying Su Dingfang while watching crickets fight.I'm also willing to be taken advantage of by this guy. When I have any benefits to share, I think of the Cheng family first. There's no way, everyone has a cheap side, and the old man immediately poked at my shortcomings.

He said the same thing again, old master Cheng turned his head and said to me: "Zihao, sometimes my elders can't talk as much as you, a teacher-instructing brother. You can watch Siye, you can go anywhere, only the east No. Let’s take it long, the old man has worked hard for ten years, and in these ten years, his inheritance will run away from Liaochengzhou, but you are the only one to ask me.”

"Grandpa..." Before I could say anything, Qin Yu was a little unhappy.The words were aimed at me, but Qin Yu respected me very much in his heart, and couldn't tolerate the old man saying such bad words. "Brother Zihao, this matter has nothing to do with it. Now Tubo in the west is undergoing internal changes, and Turkic in the north has been flattened. Without Tubo's help, Nanzhao has suffered a big loss this time. He is already willing to be entrusted by our court. No matter how difficult it is. Except In the east, the imperial court has no place to use troops in the short term..."

After all, he is a person who is paid by the army. The so-called sound of the cannon is worth tens of thousands of taels of gold. Although Qin Yu's family is not short of money, they still have the idea of ​​making meritorious deeds in this last piece of pure military land.There will never be a so-called dove faction in the army, especially in these years when rewards for military exploits are extremely generous. Looking at the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the only place worth sending an army to conquer for the time being is the east. However, the old man insisted on blocking it and refused to let Qin Yu feel depressed, and even threatened him with his senior brother, no matter how respectful he is, he should talk back.

"What's this called?" The old man was not angry, he stroked his beard and tilted his head to look at the three of them, looking like a rascal. "What a great success! The first few games were played so smoothly. Goryeo, Turkic, and Tubo, the opponents are stronger than the other. If you are wiped out one by one, you really think you are invincible?"

Isn't this invincible?Although Cheng Chu didn't dare to speak, he looked like he was invincible when he ate; Qin Yu's expression didn't change much, and I didn't even care about it in my heart.

"Look, all the bastards don't know the heights of the sky and the earth!" The old man was a little displeased, and stuck a chopstick to Cheng Chu's forehead. Get one for the old man, and teach you guys a lesson while eating."

The fish was good, the chef's skills were on the rise, the old man ate heartily, his mouth was too full to teach, and he glanced sharply after cleaning up, it seemed that he was going to talk.Everyone sat down solemnly and waited for the old general's court training.The old man cleared his throat and took a drink, "Have another plate!"

"This fish, why can't it climb onto the plate, it has to lie down, and you have to turn it over after eating it." The old man turned the fish over dissatisfied, and said leisurely: "I like to eat it with a light taste. The old man has a heavy mouth." , I like to eat the juice after soaking it, the taste will not get in without soaking it, right?"

"That's right, the kid also likes to eat the bottom ones." Actually, I don't care about the top and bottom.I just love to eat fish heads, so I didn't tell him.

"So, in addition to picking the thorns, it takes a while to soak for a while before the taste is right." The old man paused with his chopsticks.I was so happy to eat fast, I didn't see the thorns, it seemed that I chewed the meat with the thorns. "Zihao, do you think Tibetans eat fish?"

"..." I didn't want to answer this boring question.

The old man chuckled, "In order to destroy the Western Turks, Datang has been operating in Longyou for nearly 30 years, which is considered to be a bubble. And Korea, the stinky boys only know that it is easy to destroy them. Do you want to show off to you? What kind of temper did Emperor Taizong have? He confessed his mistake to a bunch of civil servants when he returned to the court, and the first one mentioned that he was very happy."

The hall suddenly became quiet, and Cheng Chu also put down his chopsticks and joined the ranks of listening.

"Back then, the East Turkic Sage was happy. He thought he could report the shame of the previous dynasty's defeat of Goryeo. The old man wrote about sending troops to Goryeo. Except for Li Ji, all the generals are like Siye now. I'm afraid Pull yourself down." Shaking his head with emotion.The old man missed the prestige of the year very much. "Calculate with your fingers, from the time of the Yang family in the former dynasty to the fourth year of Yonghui. How many years did it take to destroy a small Koryo? How many people died? It doesn't mean that there are many soldiers and generals to do things. Fighting in the Central Plains, my 3000 people can beat him to [-], but the land is different, our side is already freezing to death when the grass is not dry, not to mention that Mohe is farther north than Goryeo, and it is a bit colder."

"But..." Qin Yu just wanted to question, but was immediately interrupted by the old man.

"But what?" He glanced at Qin Yu disdainfully, "What do you know? Don't say that there are cotton-padded clothes that can be beaten by digging coal. The Koreans in Liaochengzhou have nothing to do if they make trouble all day long. You expect tens of thousands of troops to open Sweeping others in the past? Thanks to you for learning the art of war, learn the dog's belly!"

The saying that the mainland must be settled before fighting against the outside world was a reactionary slogan in my time. It seems that the old man has reactionary tendencies.But it still makes sense.listen first.

"The time and place are right, and the people are not even on our side. Do you expect to be shot down in three to five months? If they can be shot down, they will do it long ago. It's your turn? How dare you go against us openly? There are people who want to fight us." Confidence is not something that many people can do." The old man belched and threw the chopsticks aside, "It's time to suffer defeat, and if you don't eat defeat, those gangsters in the army don't even know their last name. Remember, there are wars around This time has never been smooth, Koryo, East and West Turks, even Nanzhao caught us off guard. Although this has been entangled for many years, it is the first time for a large army to conquer. What is the first time? There are too many people dying, but I have to look after our own children, the old man can't rest in peace if anyone is missing!"

Yes, this is a bit cruel to say, but now the conditions are limited, and the only way to victory is to lose again and again in a field that you are not good at.Moreover, as the Tang Empire became stronger and stronger, the goal of war was not to win, but to completely conquer the territory and the hostile people in all directions.Once the war starts, it will be protracted and inevitable. It depends on the strong national power and bloody killings to deter the opponent, and then use time to heal the wounds caused by the war. It is unrealistic to think about it overnight.

"Zihao figured it out?" The old man nodded in satisfaction, "If you want to pay a thousand dollars, Siye can go if you want, I will teach you a way, wait. When the division is not good there, and the three armies change commanders in succession, it will be like When Emperor Taizong was frustrated in his conquest of Goryeo, you can ask for orders when no capable person is willing to go. Please order to go to Liaodong to manage, not to lose streak." He said, pinching his fingers and calculating for a while, "Wait for six years, and then go to manage for another six years. Years, this is more credit than your life on the battlefield. You are still young, you have a lot of credit and no qualifications, and no one cares about life and death now; it will be different after 12 years. People who can speak better than you, when the time comes, you will not have any objections to attacking the court, this is the key to the life of the three armies!"

Listening to it, I felt a lot of feelings in my heart, and I got to know Mr. Cheng better.Even Cheng Chu, who has always been dull, was a little moved, and Qin Yu even lowered his head and clutched a chopstick, making his knuckles turn white.Shocking, what's the point of two women fighting?If I have half the knowledge of the old man, I won't run out and dare not go home.I'm just afraid now, afraid that the old man will be taught badly by Qin Yu, what will happen if he becomes Mr. Qin in the future?It seems that I have to learn from the old man and become Mr. Wang before I can talk about it.
