I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 323: When will you return from here?
"Why do you want to go to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms?"

Chen Zhi was a little confused when he heard his father raise this question again.

Didn’t you just make the reason very clear?

If Chen wants to maintain his current glory, he must have matching achievements.

And by taking the lead in quelling the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, they will undoubtedly be remembered by the emperor, the courtiers of Chang'an, and the entire world!
It is even said that this reputation can guarantee that the Yangxia Hou Mansion will not decline in the next 30 years.

After his father's advice, Chen Zhi already understood this truth.

But now there seemed to be other reasons, which made him a little confused.

However, this question was posed to his younger brother, so he didn't have to worry about how to answer it for the time being.

So Chen Zhi also turned his head, wondering if his younger brother would want to go with his father.

Facing the eyes of his father and brother, Chen Lu remained as usual.

Ten breaths later, he finally said his answer: "I don't know what other reasons my father has, but I don't want this turmoil to continue because it puts the people who have finally lived and worked in peace and contentment at risk of being displaced.

Father, you once told us that in the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty, human life was like a piece of grass. The pasta that every household can afford today was as precious as gold at that time.

This is not what I want to see, so if there is a reason to put down this turmoil, then this is my reason. "

When he said this, Chen Lu did not speak very fast, nor did he appear particularly excited.

But his eyes were very firm.

As my father and brother discussed family glory, I listened silently on the sidelines without interrupting too much.

But that doesn't mean he's indifferent to the turmoil.

Quite the opposite.

He thinks very deeply and cares about many things.

As Chen Luo listened to these words, the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

In the end, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "I am very pleased that Aru thinks so. It is not a wrong decision to leave the Mo family in your hands."

There are certain differences in my requirements for these two sons.

Chen Zhi inherited the title of Marquis of Yangxia, which required him to put his family first in everything and consider continuing the family so that the word "Yangxia" could still shine in the Han Dynasty.

But Chen Lu is different.

As a benchmark for the Mohist family, it would be bad if he only considers issues from the perspective of Yangxia, the Chen family, and the individual.

If the top is followed and the other is effective, the entire Mohist family may quickly become corrupted.

After all, if leaders no longer have ideals, wouldn’t it be foolish to ask those below to remain pure?
The words Chen Luhui said just now are probably due to the fact that he was inside the Mo family and had been exposed to them for many years.

But no matter what, his performance made him feel quite satisfied.

Rubbing his chin, Chen Luo slightly lowered the upward curve of his mouth.

He continued with a heavy voice: "Suppressing the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms will not only benefit the family, but also benefit the people of the world.

The life of a peace dog is more stable than that of people in troubled times.

If this turmoil continues for several years, the cultivated fields will return to barrenness, the agricultural tools that thousands of Mohist disciples spent their efforts promoting will be destroyed by the war, and countless people will leave their homes and become refugees...

The foundation of a prosperous age built by three generations of emperors in 50 BC of the Han Dynasty may be destroyed in one day.

When the time comes, the world will reappear in the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, and the country will be without a country. "

I am not an alarmist.

War has caused huge damage to the country's infrastructure.

It takes decades to build a city, and it takes thousands of years to build it up, but to destroy it, you only need to set off a fire.

The turmoil in the Seven Kingdoms has lasted for a long time, and I am afraid that the economies of Jingdi and Qi will directly rot and fall into a quagmire.

The area that Chen Luo paid more attention to was the Changsha country.

In the original history, the King of Changsha did not participate in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

But now the situation has changed, and Chen Luo is worried that the South Vietnamese Congress will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

You must know that the old guy Zhao Tuo is indeed alive. He survived the first prince to death, but in the end he was still alive and well, sitting safely on the throne.

The South Vietnamese Kingdom has not made any big moves in these years. That is because under the governance of Liu Heng, the national power of the Han Dynasty is in a stage of continuous rise. That old fox Zhao Tuo is not so stubborn and does not dare to cause trouble.

But the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion began, and the Chaotang army was blocked by the Jing Kingdom, let alone going south to the Changsha area.

Therefore, if South Vietnam causes trouble, it will not have to directly face the front of the Han regular army.

What's more, if they really take action against Changsha Kingdom, they can be said to be "famous".

After all, Liu Qi sent a messenger to ask all the princes in the world to help the king.

Although his letter was not sent to the South Vietnam Kingdom, Zhao Tuo just needed a reason to send troops.

By then, he has occupied some of Changsha Kingdom's territory, and the possibility of returning it after the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion is over will be low.

"Father, it's my fault for thinking too little." Chen Zhi said with a guilty look on his face and a rather self-blaming tone.

Compared with my father and younger brother, my situation seems really small.

Compassion for the sufferings of the people in the world is more important than caring about the rise and fall of the family. It is clear at a glance.

Chen Luo smiled and said, "What are you talking about? It is a good thing that Zhierqin is willing to calm down this turmoil.

As for the reason, no one will care about it. "

After all, most people are consequentialists.

As long as a person succeeds, does the reason why he made the choice in the first place matter?

People will sigh with emotion, thinking that he has a long-term vision and good luck.

After being comforted, Chen Zhi nodded vigorously and said, "I understand. So, father, what plan are you going to implement next?"

After setting the goal, naturally you can't run around like a headless fly, relying on luck to get the answer.

Of course, in normal times, Chen Zhi would be the one who proposed the plan.

It's just that now that my father is here, he won't do anything about it. At most, he will make some suggestions for repairs later.

"I hope you will take my letter and go to Yingdu to find your father-in-law and discuss with the Prince of Chu to let them send troops. According to the current strength of the Chu State, it can completely compete with the joint efforts of the Jing State and Changsha State." Chen Luo twisted again. He turned around and looked at his second son, "Aru, you should also go to Huaiyin. Although Huaiyin does not have an army, Brother Han alone is worth a hundred thousand soldiers."

Taking a deep breath, he solemnly repeated it again and said: "This matter is very important. You should set off as soon as possible and don't delay too long."

"Yes, Father." Chen Zhi and Chen Lu both responded at the same time.

After a moment of mental calculation, Chen Zhi added: "Prepare dry food and guards for the road. Adi and I can set off as soon as the morning after tomorrow."

"I'll leave it to you to arrange this matter as soon as possible." Chen Luo nodded gently, then half-closed his eyes.

……

Two days later.

The west wind blows up the dust on the ground.

Chen Luo stood at the city gate of Yangxia, watching the two fleets leaving in different directions. The sound of bells hanging on the carriages gradually disappeared in the wind.

He turned around, sighed softly, and walked towards the footpath down the city wall not far away, while silently calculating in his heart.It would take Zhi'er about half a month to go to Chudi. Huaiyin was closer, and Alu only needed to walk for ten days.

Hmm... Including the time it took for the news to be delivered on the road, it would take at least a month for them to learn about the situation in Yangxia.

Everything is in its own plan.

He walked down the tower and found Liu Le standing there with the support of his maid.

When she saw Chen Luo, she took the initiative to greet him.

"Le'er, why are you here?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, and then said in a slightly reproachful tone, "You are not in good health. Zhi'er and Alu were with you before they left the house. I've already said hello, so why go to the city gate to see you off? You should be at home and take care of yourself."

Although Liu Le has not encountered any major diseases in these years, she still has a lot of minor problems as she ages.

But I always pay close attention to it.

What's more, every time she felt uncomfortable somewhere, Chen Luo would ask doctors from the Mo family to take a look.

Therefore, Liu Le has not encountered any major situations.

Normally, Chen Luo would walk with her around the mansion about half an hour after the meal, but he had never gone so far away from the city wall.

Therefore, it was completely unexpected to see her traces here.

"I'm not here to see off Zhi'er and the others." Liu Le shook his head, stared seriously into Chen Luo's eyes, and asked softly and slowly, "I just wanted to ask when are you leaving?"

"Me?" Chen Luo's face froze and he opened his mouth, but he didn't spit out a single word.

After a few breaths, he came to his senses, squeezed out a nonchalant smile and said, "Why should I go? With their help in running to Yingdu and Huaiyin, wouldn't it be great if I stayed safely in Yangxia and waited for the news? .”

Liu Le shook his head quietly and said nothing.

"Okay, okay." Chen Luo turned his head helplessly, knowing that he couldn't continue making up the story.

It is strange to say that whether it is in a temple or in a country market, he can always talk about the status of the people in front of him when chatting with him.

From a collection of classics and history to miscellaneous talks and strange theories, Chen Luo can talk about everything, one thing after another, basically without getting stuck.

After a pause, he focused his eyes on the foot of the moss-covered city wall, pursed his lips and said, "It's been so many years, and it's not easy to tell a lie in front of you."

Liu Le replied this sentence.

She smiled and said, "I know you better than Zhi'er and the others."

Chen Luo agreed in his heart that this was indeed true.

They are so familiar with each other that when the other person raises his hand, he knows what he will say and what he will do next.

"So how did you know... that I planned to leave?" Chen Luo couldn't help but ask.

His arrangements were obviously very prudent.

The matters of mobilizing personal guards and contacting surrounding counties were all done in person. Even Chen Zhi didn't notice anything strange. There was no reason why she would find out.

Liu Le tilted his head and said: "In the past few nights, you have dug out several "Huaiyin Bingshu" and have been reading the march chapter. Then I asked people a little more and found out what you wanted to do. what."

"That's it." Chen Luo touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.

He was preparing to lead the army on an expedition, but in the past 20 years, he had basically not conducted any actual operations.

Therefore, he chose to read more military books, focusing on the usefulness of sharpening a gun before the battle, and through theoretical study to awaken the feeling of being in the military camp.

After a lot of effort, I didn't expect that a flaw would be revealed in a place like this.

Moreover, as the mistress of Liu Le, if she wanted to investigate something, those servants would definitely not be able to deceive her.

Seeing this, Chen Luo had no choice but to admit generously: "I summoned the personal guards, contacted Chenliu County Sheriff, and prepared a team of soldiers and horses, ready to contribute some strength in quelling the chaos."

Taking a deep breath, he turned his head and looked into the distance.

Chen Luo said in a low voice: "If there is something, I must take the lead in doing it.

Could it be that the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms could be put down by just talking?

King Liu Bi of Jing was not an easy opponent. He led his cavalry to fight out of the Huns' encirclement when he was still young. This time, he was even more angry to avenge his son.

Just shouting slogans from behind, such behavior cannot set an example and is unconvincing.

Brother Yu's son probably won't be willing to take the risk and lead his army to follow, the emperor of Chang'an won't be willing to believe that I am sincere, and the people of the world will not care what a bad old man like me is saying.

Only by proving it with actions can it have the desired effect. "

He half-bowed his head as he spoke these words.

Obviously what he just said makes sense, and no one can find fault with it.

But he didn't dare to look into her eyes.

If Liu Le said he was worried about his own safety and tried to dissuade him.

Then Chen Luo will most likely give up his plan to personally lead the army to conquer the rebels.

"That's it..." Liu Le blinked, groped in his arms for a while, and then said softly, "Here."

"Huh?" Chen Luo turned his head back and saw her handing over a sachet and stuffing it into his hand.

He squeezed it gently, it felt warm and the fabric felt familiar to the touch.

After a moment of silence, Chen Luo opened his mouth and said, "You didn't stay up all night to embroider, did you? Your body and bones can withstand such torture."

It takes a lot of energy and energy to embroider a sachet, especially Liu Le's attitude of striving for excellence. It takes only two days to embroider it, which is really a rush.

"I had embroidered half of this sachet before, but I didn't continue to embroider it when my dear friend didn't have to fight outside. I didn't expect to find it the day before yesterday, the color was the same, and it could be used again." She said, pretending to be a joke, "Now I have embroidered it. After giving birth, my beloved, just don’t think that I am not good at embroidery as I am old.”

"will not."

"Remember to wear it close to your body."

"Yeah, okay, I will."

"Do you want to bring more clothes with you this time? Are winter clothes prepared?"

"it is good."

"You need to prepare winter clothes... Then how many should you bring."

"You can figure it out."

"You think I'm verbose."

"Don't dare."

"Then you talk to me so perfunctorily?"

"……No."

"Then just six pieces, easy to exchange. Well, when will you return from here?"

"I don't know..."

"uh-huh?"

"Try to come back as early as possible."
