Brother Wanfu

Chapter 102 Just For Peace
Qin Tian returned to his bedroom, and just sat down when he remembered something.

There was actually another important thing to do when she went to find that elder brother, but she was interrupted by his attitude at that time, and she forgot.

But she can't go again, and God knows if she will say something that shouldn't be said then.

The little girl rubbed her face, slumped her back and let out a long sigh, and asked Chang Zi to tell the elder brother that Shen Xiao and Bai Chen would come to the Princess Mansion tomorrow.

Soon, Chang Zi ran for a while, turned around and returned the conversation.

"Young master said that he will accompany the princess to meet Miss Shen and General Bai tomorrow."

Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

*
The next day, Shen Xiao and Bai Chen came with Li Weizhen.

Seeing Li Weizhen again, Qin Tian subconsciously looked at that elder brother, and when she looked over, that man just looked over, as if knowing it.

Both of them didn't expect to meet each other's eyes, they were both stunned for a moment, but then their thoughts turned to yesterday's kid-like anger, and they both felt a little funny.

But neither of them showed any emotion, Qin Tian pursed his lips tightly, and hurriedly asked Li Weizhen and Shen Xiao where they were.And Qin Shen also asked who else was in the same company.

Li Weizhen was vaguely aware of the unusualness of the two people in front of her. They had looked at each other for a moment, but when they turned around, they didn't look at each other, only talking to him.

Li Weizhen took a secret look at the two of them, and said that Shen Xiao and Bai Chen were both from the imperial court, so it was inconvenient to come to see them directly, so they were asked to stay in the side hall.

Qin Tian heard the words and immediately sent someone to invite them to the main hall.

Goodbye everyone, it's also a good time.

It's just that Shen Xiao and Bai Chen have more important matters than the reminiscences between the Li brothers and sisters and Qin Tian.

Bai Chen said directly.

"I don't know if the Suzheng army can recruit us to serve the princess?"

Both Qin Tian and Qin Shen had expected this intention.

Qin Tian smiled and said, "General Bai really asks so much, Suzheng Army has long since asked for it."

Qin Shen nodded from the side, "Although the Suzheng army looks like a shattering bamboo at the moment, there are only a few generals in the army. My father originally brought Qingzhou soldiers into the army, but it is a pity that the pirates along the coast saw the turmoil in the Celestial Dynasty and were ready to move. Su Zheng The soldiers and horses in Qingzhou can't move easily."

As a result, the Suzheng Army still has no useful generals, and the generals of the Guangsu Army that were merged, firstly, their ability to lead troops in combat varies, and secondly, they dare not trust them easily.

In contrast, the generals of the Shen family army represented by Shen Xiao and Bai Chen are well-known for their outstanding abilities, and they can share most of the burden for Qin Shen.

Back then, there were only three tigers left among the five tiger generals of the Shen family army, Bai Chen was here, and General Yue also left the court.

Qin Tian couldn't help but glanced at Shen Xiao, she thought that Shen Xiao had always missed Shen Jiajun, and this time she could make a comeback in the Suzheng Army, Shen Xiao must be very happy.

But when she looked over, she saw Shen Xiao raised her head with a very distressed face.

"Uncle Bai, Uncle Yue and my father and son are all willing to join the Suzheng Army, but can we not use the name of the Shen Family Army?"

Qin Tian was startled for a moment, and Qin Shen silently glanced at Shen Xiao and Bai Chen.

"I don't think Miss Shen thinks that the Suzheng Army will tarnish the glory of the Shen Family Army."

Before the words fell, Shen Xiao said of course not, "The Suzheng army is supporting the princess, the orphan of the former prince, an army to set things right, not a rebel army, and of course the Shen family army will not be tarnished by the Suzheng army."

But she paused here, "However, besides Uncle Bai, Uncle Yue, and some former generals of the Shen family army, there are many generals of the Shen family army who are still fighting for the court. Most of them are on the coast. As Prince Qin said, there are Japanese pirates on the coast who are about to move around recently, and they will stay on the coast and will not confront the Suzheng army. But if we use the name of the Shen family army, it will definitely affect them."

As Shen Xiao spoke, the light in her eyes dimmed a bit.

"They are also working under my father and brother's account. I don't want to implicate them because of my choice. They are already hard to protect themselves."

Bai Chen also sighed lightly.

Qin Shen asked a question. "Miss Shen is talking about General Tang Tingtang who is currently stationed in Heshan Guard."

General Tang Ting, one of the Five Tigers, did not join Bai Chen and Yue Ling to join the Suzheng Army.

Obviously Shen Xiao and the others went to look for him, but they were rejected.

Qin Tian looked at Shen Xiao, and she could completely imagine how Shen Xiao, who wanted to reunite the former generals of the Shen family army, would feel when Tang Ting refused because of reality.

But she didn't see any anger or hatred on Shen Xiao's face, instead she suggested that she give up using the name of Shen Jiajun to fulfill the former father and brother's glory.

She suddenly asked Shen Xiao.

"That's it, give up the name of Shen Jiajun?"

Shen Xiao also shook her head.

She said she was not giving up.

"I'm just not raising the banner for the time being. One day, when I become a general who can truly protect my troops, it's not too late to raise the banner."

When these words fell to the ground, everyone in the hall looked at her.

Everyone's eyes seemed to be reflecting the skylight, gathering the scattered skylight on Shen Xiao's body at this moment.

Shen Xiao felt that she just said two ordinary words, how could she receive so many eyes.

Instead, Bai Chen suddenly laughed.

"In my eyes, at this moment, you already have the style of your father and brother's famous generals."

Shen Xiao didn't expect to get such a high evaluation from Bai Chen, but her Uncle Bai had always favored her, just like the words Tang Ting said to her, those words that made her truly recognize herself, Uncle Bai actually had the same thoughts, but he never Never said it outright.

Just as she was about to tell Bai Chen not to praise her like this again, she saw Mr. Qin beside him and nodded slowly.

Shen Xiao was slightly surprised, and her eyes fell on Li Weizhen who was quiet for a while.

The young man's eyes were as warm as sunlight in a spring afternoon, and they fell on her gently.

"I thought so too."

Shen Xiao was startled, and at this moment, someone joined hands.

Shen Xiao watched Qin Tian stand beside her.

Just like in Heming Academy, when she sat in the last row out of gregariousness, she stood beside her without hesitation.

She saw her eyes slightly curved.

"Ah Xiao, we all think so, you have to believe in yourself."

Shen Xiao looked at everyone again, and suddenly smiled.

"I see."

If she used to be an eagle on the cliff that hadn't taken off yet, and she only thought she would soar high in the sky with full of ambition, but she didn't really fly even once; then now she has spread her wings and left the cliff, even if she falls, she is already in the sky superior.

The worst is falling.

But she was no longer that hawk who could only dream out of thin air.

*
Jinan.

Qian Feng knelt on the bluestone slab counting nine cold days for three hours.

He was not transferred back to Beijing for questioning, he knew that this was the emperor's favor.

And the emperor's order was also very straightforward, if the Suzheng Army's rebellion could not be contained, Qian Feng would no longer have to face the Holy Spirit, but go directly to the King of Hades.

The north wind scraped against the warm face, blowing away the last bit of warmth.

At the end of three hours, Qian Feng tried to stand up, but he didn't even move half of his body despite exerting all his strength.

The servant carried him into the clean room, and put the master directly into the hot water bucket. It took an hour for Qian Feng to recover.

Uncle Lou Chuntai came to see him.

At the same time, Lou Chuntai, the general who wiped out the rebel army, escaped due to serious injuries, and because of his uncle's relationship, he was not sent out like this, but the emperor scolded him mercilessly.

But Lou Chuntai knew that if he continued like this, he would not be any better than Qian Feng.

And once the momentum of the Suzheng army becomes more and more fierce, it is not impossible to go north and capture the imperial city. At that time, those civil and military ministers and relatives of the emperor who followed the emperor when they were hiding in the residence will be over.

When Lou Chuntai saw Qian Feng slowing down, he went straight to the point.

"Next, how to destroy the rebels, have you thought about it?"

At this time, Uncle Guo couldn't think of a way, so he could only urge Qian Feng.

Qian Feng suddenly hated why he didn't have elite soldiers like Qin Guanzhong and his son in his account, but only a useless nominal general like Lou Chuntai.

However, Qin Guanzhong, who is useful to others, has only become a third-rank commander of the guard, and his son Qin Shen has not been shaded by any official position before.

He couldn't help thinking of the Shen family army who was comparable to General Zhang's command. The Shen family army, which was famous all over the world at that time, is also scattered in the crowd now, and has long since disappeared.

These seem to have changed slowly after Jinshang ascended the throne.
A guilty thought flashed through Qian Feng's mind.

As soon as he thought about it, he woke up secretly in shock.

He has been with the emperor since he was not famous, and he is a complete minister of the hidden mansion. If he can't secure this position today, he can imagine his fate.

Qian Feng's mouth was bitter, and he had no time to worry about Lou Chuntai's incompetence for a while.

He's just a guy who wants to live in peace and security.

"Uncle Guo can also see that the current Suzheng army has too much momentum, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who have been defeated in battles are full of despair at this year's pass. If they confront the Suzheng army head-on at this time, Not only will we lose the battle, but we may lose more states and counties, and the anger in the palace at that time may not be bearable by us."

Lou Chuntai was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean by that? Don't fight the Suzheng army, let the Suzheng army continue to grow?"

Lou Chuntai couldn't understand what Qian Feng meant, "You don't want to die?"

Of course Qian Feng wanted his life.

He lost his parents when he was young, and was raised by his brother and sister-in-law. He gained meritorious service in the army, and only then did he fall into the eyes of the emperor who was still a prince at that time. general.

His brother and sister-in-law all followed him to heaven, and he also married a wife and had children, and now his two sons and two daughters are not yet old enough to marry.

The whole family is counting on him, why would he want to die?
He was extremely cautious even in battle, fearing that he would die on the battlefield one day, if not, Qin Shen's previous tricks, he must have been hit, and he would not be here today.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to live, to live well.

"But attacking the Suzheng army will not keep us safe and secure. They are also the rebel army. Why don't we put down the Suzheng army first and fight the Nancheng army instead!"

"Nan Chengjun?" Lou Chuntai was taken aback by his evasive strategy, and seeing his serious expression, he couldn't help but think about it.

Although Lou Chuntai is not as good at leading troops as Qian Feng, he is also a person who has led troops.

"You mean, by attacking Nan Cheng's army, which is inferior to Suzheng's army, the court can easily win, but it can revive the general's momentum and calm the emperor's anger a little bit?"

Lou Chuntai frowned. "But the one who disturbs the emperor the most is the princess of the Suzheng Army?"

Qian Feng also knew that the princess was the emperor's thorn in the flesh, "But besides this method, do we think there are other methods?"

No more.

Even the momentum of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court has fallen to the bottom, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the Suzheng army.

Lou Chuntai took a deep breath and sighed.

"Then do as you said. Besides, Nancheng Army and Guangsu Army have helped Suzheng Army before. Guangsu Army was annexed by Suzheng Army. Nan Chengjun is also very afraid. We can Think of a way to fight between the two rebels, if it goes well, maybe we don't need to do it, and the two sides will fight!"

The more Lou Chuntai talked, the more excited he became.

Although Qian Feng didn't think Su Zhengjun would fall for it so easily, there was no harm in trying.

That night, he and Lou Chuntai summoned the generals and military advisers under the tent and discussed it in the middle of the night. Early the next morning, someone sent a letter to the southern guard to deploy troops to attack Nancheng.

A courtyard along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River.

The sudden rainstorm outside the window in the middle of the night woke people up.

Tang Ting suddenly sat up, this action woke up his sleeping wife Yan Shi.

"What's the matter, master? It's just raining outside, and there is no urgent report."

There are frequent Japanese pirates coming ashore along the coast today, and Tang Ting, as the deputy commander in charge of dealing with the Japanese pirates, often hears urgent reports in the middle of the night.

But Tang Ting shook his head.

He didn't wake up because he mistook Ye Yu for an emergency report. He had a dream about things and people from the past.

His wife Yan got out of bed and brought over a cup of tea.

"In such a cold day, the master has sweated so much, why don't you sleep after drinking."

Tang Ting couldn't sleep anymore, he took a sip of tea and opened his mouth.

"I dreamed about General Shen."

Yan's raised her eyebrows, "How long has General Shen been away, it must be because I saw the old man that I dreamed of the general."

Tang Ting did not respond, but suddenly asked his wife.

"Tell me, isn't what I said to A Xiao too heavy?"

"Why is it so heavy?"

Yan Shi didn't think so at all.

"Even if General Shen questioned you in your dream, you are telling the truth. After the general was gone, the Shen family army was dispersed, how much grievance did you suffer for no reason? The Shen family father and son couldn't protect the Shen family army. Everyone died, so forget it. We managed to rely on the help of relatives and friends to manage to live a stable life, Shen Xiao will tell you to fight against the imperial court, she doesn't know our difficulties, so what's the problem if you just say a few words to her?"

Yan frowned unhappy, still muttering.

"She is a little girl, and she is not good at studying and getting married. She really thinks that she can inherit the old career of her father and brother? Even if she really wants to fight and kill, let her do it by herself. We have been wronged for so long, and now we are willing to bow our heads and live a peaceful life. Well, what's wrong?"

Tang Ting has always understood his wife's attitude, and he also has such thoughts in his heart.

It's really hard to live a peaceful life.

But this time, he didn't agree with his wife.

The night rain was getting heavier and heavier, banging on the window, as if it was about to hit the house.

He looked out the window, suddenly a little uncertain.

He can bow his head and beg for some safety, but can this really last?

Or is it that one day, even if he bows his head and asks for perfection, he will not be able to ask for such a safe life?

　Good evening, I wish you all a happy new year today, happy new year everyone!
　　The author is also celebrating the Chinese New Year, and I will have a day off tomorrow, so I will see you the day after tomorrow!
　　good night.
