The queen mother wants to go against the sky: General, please take your seat

Chapter 756 Too Young Commander-in-Chief

When he heard the news that Chu Fangqing's biological mother committed suicide by swallowing gold, Yan Dongjin and the old patriarch of the Chu family sat in the garden gazebo of the old Chu family's house. On the round stone table in front of them, there were still wine and several dishes of appetizers.

"50 taels?" Yan Dongjin looked at the person who came to report the letter, and smiled.

For 50 taels of silver, he recruited a person who killed his daughter into the house. If Mrs. Wang did not die herself, Chu An Township would not let her go.The old patriarch shook the wine glass in his hand, so Wang's life, Chu Fangqing's life, add up to only 50 taels of silver?Glancing at Yan Dongjin who was sitting opposite him, the old patriarch felt severe chest tightness.

"Understood," the old patriarch said to the servant who came to report the letter: "This woman is just a concubine, and there is no reason to do funerals for her. Let Mrs. Sun take care of it. Isn't there a place to bury the corpse outside the city?"

"Yes," the servant who reported the letter ran away.

Yan Dongjin held the chopsticks in his hand, and asked the old patriarch: "Mr. Chu asked me to come to treat me to dinner?"

Looking at the chopsticks in Yan Dongji's hand, and at the clean bowls and plates in front of him, and the still-drinking wine glass, the old patriarch said, "This wine and food don't suit Young Master Yan's appetite?"

Yan Dongjin said expressionlessly: "I had eaten before I came, and I will go out tomorrow, so I won't drink. When I come back after winning the battle, I will come to the mansion to ask Mr. Chu for a glass of water and wine."

Knowing that this person does not want to use the food and drink in the mansion, and you cannot refute what this person said, the old patriarch smiled, put down his wine glass, and said to Yan Dong: "I asked, my Chu family's gang Children and grandchildren, there are still people who are willing to go out with Young Master Yan and go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds."

Yan Dong listened carefully to what the old patriarch said.

The old patriarch took out a list from his sleeve, handed it to Yan Dongjin, and said, "The ones on this one were forced out of customs by me."

Yan Dongjin took the list, glanced at it, there were quite a few names on it, "What does Elder Chu mean?" Yan Dongjin asked.

"Young Master Yan is the leader of the army, so he doesn't know what the old man means?" the old patriarch asked Yan Dongjin.

Yan Dongji shook the paper in his hand lightly, and said: "The people on this are not to be reused."

The old patriarch nodded.

"Understood," Yan Dongjin put the list into his sleeve, and thanked the old patriarch: "Thank you, Elder Chu."

"There," Old Chu pointed to Yan Dongjin's back.

Looking back at the end of the severe winter, the garden of the Chu family's old house is much more elegant than the garden of the Liaodong General. In the midsummer garden, the flowers are blooming in full bloom, which is truly beautiful.Yan Dongjin said, "Where? Flowers?"

"Outside the courtyard wall is my Chu family's ancestral hall," said the old patriarch.

Yan Dongjin sat upright, the value that the world places on the clan does not exist here in Yan Dongjin, and when the old patriarch talked about the ancestral hall, General Yan immediately lost interest.It's just that he's not interested, Yan Dongjin didn't show it on the surface, he just said: "Really? If Mr. Chu doesn't say anything, I really don't know."

The old patriarch drank a glass of wine, which was good wine, and the aroma of the wine would overflow from the glass when the glass was shaken a little. Yan Dongzhi sniffed his nose, looked down at the wine glass in front of him, but still did not touch the celadon. wine glass.

The old patriarch drank a glass of wine, and told Yan Dongjin about the sons of the Chu family who have been generals for generations and fought on the battlefield.

Yan Dongji frowned, he was still not interested in this matter, but looking at the sky, the sun was long in summer, it was almost dusk, but the sky was still bright.Thinking that he still has time, Yan Dongjin still sat still, not showing it on the surface, but actually listening to the old patriarch absent-mindedly.

The old patriarch told Yan Dongjin about his father and brother, about the tragic battle that caused him to lose one eye.

Yan Dongjin went from being absent-minded to gradually listening to him.

"Their bones have not been found." The old patriarch drank another glass of wine and said, "It is still buried under the yellow sand outside the pass. In the ancestral grave of my Chu family, there are women's bones, but not many men's bones. It’s a tomb of clothes, where loyal bones are buried in the yellow sand.”

Yan Dongjin nodded, as a response to the old patriarch.

"But now my Chu family is so afraid of war," the old patriarch asked Yan Dongjin, "Master Yan, what do you think this is for?"

Yan Dongjin said honestly: "I don't know."

"The days of wealth and honor are too long," the old patriarch sighed.

Yan Dong was stunned.

"Master Yan, those unworthy descendants of our Chu family will still be afraid of war when they leave the customs." The old patriarch seemed drunk, his eyes became erratic, and the old patriarch said: "It's good that the war is going well. Shun, you have to prevent these people from disturbing the morale of the army because of their cowardice."

"Then what should I do?" Yan Dongjin asked.

Hearing Yan Dongjin ask himself such a straightforward question, the old patriarch laughed. This person is indifferent to others and seems to be a very lonely person, but think about it carefully, how could the person who was brought up by Mo Sangqing not know How to get along with people?Yan Dong knows when to bow his head, when to ask questions without shame, and when to speak more.

"You," Yan Dongjin looked at the old patriarch with some doubts, and said, "You are not telling me to kill all the people on this list before starting the war, are you?" This old man is so ruthless Woolen cloth?
The old patriarch was dumbfounded by Yan Dongjin's thoughts, and said: "Kill them? They are the descendants of my Chu family. Besides, you beheaded the general before the battle started. Are you not afraid of disturbing the morale of the army, Young Master Yan? Those who survived How can those descendants of the Chu family still listen to your orders?" Didn't the army start fighting with the barbarians first?
Yan Dongjin said: "Then what do you mean?"

"When the battle is unfavorable, don't let them talk," the old patriarch taught Yan Dongjin: "put them in the front army, cut off their rear, and let them be the vanguard."

Yan Dongjin frowned. Earlier, this person said that these people cannot be reused, but now he said that when the war is unfavorable, these people should be used as pioneers?Is this old man playing tricks on him?

"Afraid of death, they will find a way to live," the old patriarch continued to teach Yan Dongjin: "When you cut off their retreat, they will try their best to fight the barbarians. They want to live no matter what. Death is more useful."

This is a very old saying, and Yan Dongjin listened to it again. This, his uncle and elder brother really didn't teach him.

"Take my good sons and grandchildren, and those ghosts who are afraid of death, and go out." The old patriarch drank all the wine in the jug, and said to Yan Dong: "I, the old man, will wait for your triumphant return in Sunset City. "

Touching the paper scroll in his sleeve, Yan Dongji nodded at the old patriarch, got up and left.

"Master Yan," watching Yan Dongjin walk down the gazebo, the old patriarch suddenly said again: "After you leave the customs, you will be involved in the life and death of the three armies, and the life and death of my people in Liaodong. I hope you will take care of the overall situation, the best, the best you Forget who you are, just remember that you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies."

Yan Dongjin is too young, even if this one joined the army at a young age, but this one has never led an army out of customs alone, before this one has Mo Wangbei and Mo Sangqing by his side, but this time, this one is alone .The old patriarch was very worried, but there was nothing he could do except mention Yan Dong.
