At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 62 Don't be arrogant in victory, and not discouraged in defeat

The next day.

The cold wind was biting, and Lan Yu was shivering like a cicada. When she looked up, she saw a group of wild geese flying by in the sky.

Sapphire, who was standing outside the courtyard, looked down at the reflection of the clear water in the basin, and couldn't help frowning.

The condition of the shadow was: his eyes were black and blue, his face was swollen a lot, and a cloth ball was stuffed in his nose.

That high-spirited sapphire seems to have stayed in yesterday.

At this moment, a trace of depression flashed in his eyes.

How do you meet people like this?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. He thought about what he said wrong yesterday.

Why did my brother-in-law not listen to his explanation, and directly beat him up in the name of sparring.

He also put down a sentence, asking him to obey the general's arrangement.

He sometimes wondered if it was because of his heroic appearance that his brother-in-law was a little ashamed, so he used some excuse to beat himself up.

Suddenly, Sapphire was about to squat down to wash her face with water.

"Hiss! It hurts!"

Lan Yu grinned, thinking depressedly: This brother-in-law's attack is not serious.

When I have a chance in the future, I must ask my elder sister to show my brother-in-law a look.

At least, let the brother-in-law not even think about climbing into sister's bed for a month.

When she thought that she had to report to the military camp, for some reason, Lan Yu's heart suddenly became a little timid.

He looked at himself in the reflection, secretly having a toothache.

Now, how can he meet people?
Simply pretend to be sick and rest at home for a few days.

So Lan Yu asked someone to write a letter asking for leave to Cheng De.

Not long after Cheng De just woke up, he couldn't help being stunned when he saw the leave letter that the soldier had just handed to him.

This sapphire should be okay, right?
Looking at it like this, Chang Yuchun's attack is really fucking ruthless!

He never expected that Chang Yuchun was actually an honest person.

"Come on!" Cheng De shouted.

A personal soldier came in, quickly bowed and saluted, "General!"

Cheng De glanced at the soldier, his eyes lit up, "So it's you, Luo Erhu!"

Luo Erhu grinned and said, "I didn't expect the general to remember the little one!"

Cheng De stared, pretending to be angry and said: "Are you insinuating that my nobleman forgets too much?"

Luo Erhu quickly explained: "General, I have really wronged the young one. The original meaning of the small one is that it is a happy thing for the young one to fall into the general's eyes."

Cheng De showed a gentle smile on his face and said: "You boy, you are very good at speaking beautiful words. I have an errand for you to go to Huai'an City to buy some snacks and some dried fruits, send them to Lanyu, and tell him to take good care of his body .”

"Yes." Luo Erhu replied.

Then, Luo Erhu hesitated, "General, this money—"

Cheng De glanced at Luo Erhu, "You put it up first. I'll replenish it for you when I come back."

Luo Erhu hesitated when he heard this: "General, I don't have any money with me."

Cheng De was stunned, "You are also a veteran of the Sizhou Army. Didn't you pay the military salary twice before? It's used up so soon?"

Luo Erhu didn't dawdle this time: "Reporting to the general, I brought the money back home. My mother, wife and children need the money, so I haven't brought much money with me. After all, in this military camp Take care of the food, and the small one has no other expenses."

Cheng De stared blankly at Luo Erhu, and said with a smile, "You are from the Gu family, and the Gu family is good! Just wait a moment."

As Cheng De said, he picked up a small box from under his desk.

Inside this small box is his own private money, about 300 taels.

After opening the box, he took out 20 taels from it and handed it to Luo Erhu.

"These 20 taels, buy some supplements for Lanyu. After buying, there are about a dozen taels left, and you can keep it for yourself. Even if you don't need it, you can send it home! Don't refuse, this general ordered You accept it." Cheng De looked at Luo Erhu and said.

Luo Erhu looked at Cheng De, startled, and then he was very moved.

"Yes, General!" Luo Erhu's nose was a little sore, he lowered his head and looked at the ground.

Cheng De said softly: "That's plausible! In addition, after completing the errands, follow me from now on and help me do some news delivery. For the time being, you will be the head of ten personal soldiers. You choose ten good men from the barracks , and have been following me ever since.”

Luo Erhu looked at Cheng De in disbelief, and said uncertainly, "General——there is Master Lan."

"Sapphire boy, I have other arrangements, you can take over the duties of Sapphire's personal soldier, don't you want to?"

Luo Erhu heard this, his eyes were full of joy and he said: "I am willing, very willing."

Cheng De nodded: "Yeah. You go down and finish that errand first!"

"Yes." Luo Erhu bowed and retreated after saluting respectfully.

Seeing the back of Luo Erhu leaving, Cheng De inspected the barracks before going to the courtyard where Li Sanqi was resting, and then the two of them walked to He Sanwu's courtyard together.

en route.

"Brother, what happened to the third and fifth brothers?" Li Sanqi looked at Cheng De.

Cheng De looked at the passers-by on the street in front of him and said, "During the battle, an arrow fell into the water. He disappeared for a few days and couldn't find it. In the end, He Sanwu came back by himself and fell under the Huai'an city. The people of the Jueshengwei discovered it. After that, they never woke up.”

Li Sanqi nodded: "I see."

Cheng De glanced at Li Sanqi, and said: "At this moment, maybe He Sanwu should have woken up. The people under him told me that the doctor said that this He Sanwu should wake up today."

Li Sanqi said softly: "Brother Sanwu, as long as you're okay."

When the two came to the courtyard where He Sanwu lived, they went straight to the room where He Sanwu was resting.

After entering the house.

He Sanwu just woke up, looking at Cheng De and Li Sanqi.

When he was about to struggle to get up, Cheng De stepped forward quickly, stopped He Sanwu, and at the same time reprimanded him: "Don't you know what's going on with your body now? Don't pay attention to the vain etiquette. Now, take a good rest, isn't what I said going to work?"

Li Sanqi also answered: "Brother Sanwu, just listen to what Big Brother says and lie down."

He Sanwu glanced at Cheng De, then at Li Sanqi, and said with a wry smile, "I'll listen to you, I'll lie down."

Cheng De looked at He Sanwu with relief: "That's right, we'll talk about other things after you recover from your injury."

He Sanwu fell silent when he heard the words, opened his mouth, and sighed: "Brother, I, He Sanwu, am sorry for those brothers who followed me to attack Qingjiang! The failure to attack Qingjiang was all my fault, He Sanwu, let big brother disappointed!"

Cheng De was silent.

After a while, Cheng De said gently, "Don't be arrogant in victory, and not discouraged in defeat, this is what a qualified general should do. I hope He Sanwu you will always keep this in mind. Temporary success or failure means nothing. If you want to prove your ability to lead the army to the entire Sizhou army, you should take good care of your wounds. After the wounds are healed, I will give you a chance to prove yourself like this. At that time, you Sanwu will definitely not say anything Already, it will become a blockbuster, if it does not fly, it will fly, soar to the sky!"

He Sanwu's eyes moved, and he looked at Cheng De with some surprise, "Brother, don't you blame me?"

Cheng De directly laughed angrily, "What else? However, you have to take responsibility for the defeat in this battle, and you will be reduced to the small capital."

After He Sanwu heard this, he felt relieved, "Brother can handle this matter according to his discretion, it's fine if he is reduced to a small capital, and he will not embarrass him if he gives an explanation to the brothers in the Sizhou Army."

Cheng De: "You take good care of it first. I'm going to get married soon, and I'm still waiting for you to go back to Sizhou City to drink my wedding wine?"

He Sanwu and Li Sanqi looked at each other, then turned to Cheng De: "Brother, who is sister-in-law?"

Cheng De said with a smile: "Ma Xiuying. However, Luo Yan will hold it again after Ma Xiuying and I get married, but I will only invite a few of our brothers to gather together and drink to celebrate. Whether it is Ma Xiuying, Or Luo Yan, they are both your sisters-in-law."

He Sanwu: "I will definitely recover from my injuries before my eldest brother gets married."

Li Sanqi looked at Cheng De, "Brother, wouldn't it be impossible for me to—"

Cheng De directly interrupted: "When the time comes, you can ask someone to bring the gift. As for you, you will be sitting on Huai'an Road. This Huai'an Road is extremely important. I hope you understand it in your heart."

Li Sanqi nodded: "Brother, I understand. When the time comes, I will send someone to deliver the gift I prepared to Big Brother."

Afterwards, Cheng De and the others briefly chatted for a while, and Cheng De and Li Sanqi bid farewell to He Sanwu.

Before leaving, he repeatedly told He Sanwu to take a good rest.

After arriving at the courtyard, Cheng De looked at Li Sanqi and said, "Do you want to familiarize yourself with Huai'an City first, or do you want to go back to the barracks and meet those generals?"

Li Sanqi pondered for a while, "I'd better go back to the barracks with my elder brother. Stop those generals as soon as possible, so that Huai'an Road can be cleared earlier."

Cheng De patted Li Sanqi on the shoulder and said, "Go back to the barracks first! I'll take a stroll on the streets of Huai'an City for the time being."

Li Sanqi looked at Cheng De in astonishment, and then said, "Alright!"

Li Sanqi thought: If I knew it earlier, I would have said that I would go to Huai'an City for a stroll.

Seeing this, Cheng De smiled and said, "Looking at your reluctant appearance, I know that you still want to visit Huai'an City. Let's go! Let's go and visit Huai'an City together, just find a place to have breakfast."

A faint smile appeared on Li Sanqi's face, "Okay."

Afterwards, the two changed into ordinary clothes, went to the bustling streets of Huai'an City, and walked along the stalls selling wontons.

Behind them, followed by Jin Yiwei and Jueshengwei, ten each.

Soon.

The two came to a stall.

The owner of this stall is run by a husband and wife.

The man looked about 50 years old and the woman was about 40 years old.

All in patched clothes.

"Four bowls of wontons!" Li Sanqi shouted.

"Excellent!" The man replied.

Cheng De and Li Sanqi sat down at a wooden table, watching the bustling crowd, passing by.

"Brother, why do you say Huai'an City is so much more prosperous than Sizhou City?" Li Sanqi looked at the passing crowd and said.

Cheng De smiled, "In a few years, Sizhou City will be more prosperous than Huai'an City."

Li Sanqi's eyes were full of suspicion, and he didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't say anything more.

Because the wontons are already served.

Cheng De and Li Sanqi each have two bowls.

After eating the wontons, Li Sanqi paid the money, and the two walked around for a while before returning to the barracks.

When he just returned to the barracks, Cheng De's eyes flashed when he saw Yang Lian's figure.

But Li Sanqi seemed to have noticed something, took the initiative to leave, and went to make friends with the generals in the army.

As soon as Yang Lian saw Cheng De, he quickly bowed and said, "Meet the general!"

"Why don't you go into the big tent and wait? It's bitterly cold outside, so it's not pleasant." Cheng De said to Yang Lian.

Yang Lian pointed to the direction of the big tent, and said with a wry smile: "There are a group of scholars inside, they are dealing with official business, I stand there, it will affect them, and I am also very uncomfortable, it is better to be free and comfortable outside."

Cheng De was startled, "Come with me!"

With that said, Cheng De walked towards an empty tent next to him.

Yang Lian followed closely behind, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.

What should come will always come.

Still, tell the truth.

Feeling a little lost, Yang Lian followed Cheng De into a large tent.
