Battlefield.

If you put it in a book.

That's just two words.

But when you stand on the battlefield, you know what kind of place it is.

This is a place where two countries fight for profit.

It is also a place where the state tests talents.

Of course, this is still a place where men throw their heads and spill their blood and fight hard.

On the battlefield, as long as you take any step, there is no turning back.

It has been said that the pawns of the river do not look back.

But how many people can really feel how sad the pawn is?

Could it be that going to the battlefield to fight is really just for fame and fortune?

Some people may be, but the vast majority of people are not.

If there is a good life, who wants to go to such a hellish place to fight hard.

Before coming into this world.

Li Chengqian was once also under the influence of online novels, and fantasized that one day he would travel to ancient times and become a big hero on the battlefield.

But when I really stepped on the battlefield and saw so many lives and deaths.

He realized how naïve his ideas were.

Battlefield, that anyone can get on......

On the battlefield, only blood is spilled, only comrades fall, and enemies die tragically.

But which of these is not torture for the human heart.

Li Chengqian killed a person in order to save his sister, and until now he often has nightmares and is scared awake.

Not to mention these people who went to war.

Many people, even if they have been discharged from the army and returned to their hometowns for many years, will always wake up when they hear the sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the night, and subconsciously look for swords.

The shadow of war is with a person for the rest of his life.

Li Chengqian asked a veteran: "What do you want to do most in your life?" ”

The veteran glanced at Li Chengqian with some embarrassment.

"What I want to do most in my life is to marry a daughter-in-law after returning to my hometown."

"It doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not, as long as you're sincere to me."

"When the time comes, give me two babies, and the government is giving me more than ten acres of land, and it will be worth it in my life."

"If I still have a chance in this life, I still want to go to Chang'an City to have a look."

"What's so good about Chang'an City......

Li Chengqian said with a nonchalant face: "There is no difference between it and this Yanmen Pass." ”

"Your Highness, you actually deceived me, I know that Chang'an City is prosperous."

"The general told me that we are desperately bleeding here to protect the prosperity of Chang'an City."

"In the past ten years, many of my colleagues around me have given their lives to this Yanmen, and they have no chance to go."

"So I want to take the place of these guys to see what the place we have guarded looks like in the past ten years."

When the veteran said this, he was laughing.

But Li Chengqian felt an inexplicable sadness.

A soldier who abandons his family and business to stay on the frontier for a lifetime.

Isn't it just for the peace of Kannai and the prosperity of the national capital?

But there are too many soldiers, and there is only a general concept of the word national capital in this life.

They hadn't even been to the capital, let alone lived anywhere.

Defending the national capital, guarding the motherland, these eight words, put on them, how can they be so ironic.

That moment.

Li Chengqian seems to understand, but he doesn't seem to understand.

He didn't say anything more to the veteran, turned and left.

It's also because my heart is not happy.

Li Chengqian ran to Li Shimin's house.

Looking up at him, Li Shimin lowered his head and continued to look at the battle report.

"Hurry up and tell me something, I'm busy here."

Li Chengqian rarely twisted once.

rubbed his chubby hands for a long time before walking towards Li Shimin.

"I just don't understand."

Li Chengqian walked to Li Shimin's side.

"Look at the soldiers outside."

"They say all day long that they will defend their families and defend the country and fight for the Tang Dynasty."

"But many of them don't even know what the country looks like."

"Why do I think they're so stupid?"

This is the first time that Li Chengqian has asked Li Shimin a question.

But this one question caused Li Shimin to think that this son seemed to be a fool.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Let me ask you, how many dynasties have we experienced since the beginning of Chinese history?" ”

"Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang......"

Li Chengqian snapped his fingers and counted: "Count our Datang a total of eight." ”

"Hmmm......"

"Eight ......"

Li Shimin put down the battle report in his hand and walked towards the door.

He stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back, with his back to Li Chengqian, and said slowly: "Eight dynasties, after thousands of years. ”

"Do you know how many killings have there been in this? How many blood feuds? And how many splits? ”

"But in the end, isn't it still moving towards reunification?"

Li Chengqian said innocently.

Li Shimin glanced back at him: "But is this unification really relying on only one person?" ”

"In the Qin Dynasty, there were good generals such as Bai Qi and Wang Jian in the martial arts, and there were advisers such as Li Si and Lu Buwei."

"In the Han Dynasty, there were good generals such as Han Xin and Peng Yue, and there were ministers such as Xiao He and Zhang Liang."

"But have you forgotten that under these people, there are thousands or even hundreds of thousands of millions of pawns......

"And underneath these pawns, there are millions of families."

"Are these people fools you call them?"

"Is there no wise man among them?"

Li Shimin shook his head with a smile and said: "In this world, no one is born a fool. ”

"It's just that at some point, you have to be a fool."

"The so-called inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood."

"If you look at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Tang Dynasty, you should think of how many people have shed their blood for this."

In the wars that the Tang Dynasty has gone through to unify the world, Li Shimin is either a participant or a commander.

He knows too well how the Tang Dynasty came to be.

How difficult it is, he naturally knows it.

At this time, he just wanted to teach Li Chengqian well.

I hope that while he can understand his suffering, I also hope that he can understand what kind of responsibility he has to bear when he is born in the emperor's family.

Li Shimin called Li Chengqian to his side and put his arm around his shoulders.

"I know you want to live a peaceful life and don't like to fight."

"If you don't want to fight, you have to make there never be a war in this world."

"If you want to live a peaceful life, someone has to sacrifice for peace in the future."

"Qian'er, this is a very superficial truth, Dad hopes you can understand."

Li Shimin raised his hand and pointed to the soldiers standing guard outside.

"He, and them, are the ones who died for it."

"Even you and I are both victims of this."

"Since you were born in the royal family, you have to shoulder this responsibility."

"The people of the world are all looking at us."

This is the first time Li Shimin has told Li Chengqian about this.

He finally understood where Li Shimin's greatness was.

Li Chengqian pursed his lips and said after a long time: "I think, I understand." ”

"You understand?"

Li Shimin glanced down at him and smiled.

"Got a."

"What do you understand, little hairy boy?"

"You still have to explore the doorway here."

Li Shimin sighed and looked up at the sky.

"When you stand in my position one day, you will really understand."

Li Chengqian also shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that I won't stand in your position in my life." ”

didn't wait for Li Shimin to react.

Li Chengqian slipped away from under Li Shimin's hands.

When he arrived at the door, he also grimaced at Li Shimin.

"You want to trick me into being the prince again."

"Don't dream, ...... slightly"
