The root of people's inferiority lies in the fact that they will always have a sense of psychological superiority in front of people who are worse than themselves, and the difference only lies in whether or not this sense of superiority is expressed.

In the primitive society, who hunted more prey, would grin very proudly, this kind of mockery without any purpose, later people called it "rustic", after having words and culture, the sage told them, not to ridicule too obviously, people who hunt a lot, you must learn to be kind, at least pretend to be kind. So there is "humility" and "self-cultivation".

Historians say it's called "civilization."

Gu Qing showed the inferiority of human beings to the fullest, especially in front of Chi Yan.

mercilessly ridiculed, showing a sense of superiority without scruples, although he was only one place higher than Chi Yan, he still had the pleasure of a scholar looking down on a scumbag.

Chi Yan was only an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, slightly younger than Gu Qing. Faced with such an enthusiastic attitude of the coach Hou Ye, Chi Yan was flattered and became more and more panicked and nervous.

There is no reason, no matter how enthusiastic he is at the top of the ranking, the pride of the sky in the army, it is normal to be entertained, but he is the person who is the first to the bottom...... Is Hou Yegui brainy?

The wine and food were served, and there were only Gu Qing and Chi Yan in the handsome tent, Gu Qing frequently advised him to drink, and said that it was okay to get drunk, and he personally approved Chi Yan to take leave for a day off tomorrow.

Chi Yan trembled and took the cup, and kept apologizing and admitting his guilt every time he drank it: "Master Hou, the villain is wrong, he really knows that he is wrong, tomorrow the villain will work hard, and he will never hold back the robe, let alone embarrass the Hou Ye......"

"Don't be ashamed, where are you embarrassed, you obviously gave me a long face......" Gu Qing toasted a glass of wine enthusiastically, then walked over to Chi Yan and sat down cross-legged, hooked his shoulders and said, "You, you have to keep it up, you know?" That's right, to maintain the penultimate ranking, you don't need to get stronger, you will be my personal guard in the future, you can practice with me every day......"

Chi Yan looked at him in amazement, did happiness come too suddenly, or did bad luck come too suddenly?

This Hou Ye looked like he had bad intentions no matter how he looked at it.

"Master Hou, the villain is really wrong...... Chi Yan was terrified, human beings are always afraid and in awe of the unknown, it can be seen from Gu Qing's smile that he, the penultimate guard of Lord Hou, is probably not good news, similar to the nature of parade in the street.

"The villain swears, starting tomorrow will not be the penultimate one, swear poison!" Chi Yan looked at him with watery eyes, his eyes full of begging.

"Spit out all the wine that drank me...... Gu Qing's smile froze, and he immediately turned his face: "Can't you understand people's words?" If you are not the first-to-last, am I going to be the first-to-last? Don't I want to lose face? ”

Chi Yan finally understood: "But Master Hou, you have a military order, if you count down to a hundred for a month, you will go back to Chang'an......"

"You can be pardoned, as I said, you are a koi carp and a beacon, who will foil me when you go back to Chang'an? Be good, come and drink, don't get drunk and don't return. ”

With the usual greetings and care, Chi Yan, who was half-drunk, intermittently talked about his own situation under Gu Qing's inquiry.

The eldest son in the family, there is a younger brother and a younger sister below, the younger sister is married, the younger brother farms at home, the land is less and there are more people, the family is too poor, Chi Yan had to come out as a soldier to eat the imperial grain, fortunately, the three generations are innocent, and after the review, he entered the left guard, and he can get a little salary every month to help the family.

It's just that Chi Yan was born with a weak physique, and when he was in Chang'an, he was also hung in the back of the car and barely fell behind, but now when he comes to Anxi, he is still the tail of the trailer, and Gu Qing, who has only been practicing for a few days, can easily surpass him, obviously Chi Yan's physique is not suitable for being a soldier by nature.

It's a very old-fashioned story, and Zuo Wei said that half of the people have the same experience as Chi Yan.

In fact, most of the soldiers in this army regard serving as a profession to earn a living, rather than for faith.

In fact, the people at the bottom of this era have no faith at all, the only faith is to live, and if they can live a better life, they are naturally willing, so being an official has become the only reason that can drive the soldiers to work hard for the country.

It's realistic, but it's understandable. The belief of "living" is actually higher than all the beliefs of gods and gods, and it is difficult to survive in this life, not to mention those vain afterlives.

But in the army, soldiers risk their lives to kill the enemy, and after all, faith is required. For the family, for the country, for the people and things you care about most, and for the abyss behind you...... You can do anything, but you can't do it purely for money and food, an army that fights purely for money and food, is destined to be less courageous when you go to the battlefield, because subconsciously, you can only enjoy money and food by saving your own life, if you think so, no one is willing to fight to kill the enemy.

In the simple words with Chi Yan, Gu Qing thought of a lot.

Chi Yan's idea can almost represent the entire Left Guard army, and to put it bluntly, four words, "be a soldier and eat food".

But for the commander, if the soldiers under his command are just soldiers for food, and they will go to the battlefield in the future, can they be trusted in terms of combat power?

The destruction of the government military system and the disadvantages of the mercenary system are now completely placed in front of Gu Qing.

…………

Qiuzi Town, Fuzhi Inn.

Tonight's Fuzhi Inn was wrapped up by Gu Qing, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, and dozens of guards came to clear the venue in the afternoon, and all the irrelevant guests were politely asked to leave.

When night fell, the outside of the inn suddenly became lively, countless generals dressed in armor arrived, their own personal guards guarded outside the door, and inside the inn was the gathering of stars, the hustle and bustle was extraordinary.

It has been two months since Gu Qing came to Anxi to take office, and this is the first time that he has officially hosted a banquet for the generals of the Anxi Army in an official capacity.

The generals who were invited were all at the rank of lieutenant or above, and only the garrison generals of Qiuzi Town in the four towns of Anxi had time to invite, not only the Anxi Army, but also several generals of the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Left Guard Army were also invited, such as Chang Zhong and other four generals.

In the inn, a long low table was placed in the front hall, leaving a vacant seat in the middle, as the night approached, all kinds of fragrant meat and game were brought up by the guys, and the generals gathered in all corners in twos and threes, and whispered in a hesitant voice about the purpose of Gu Houye's banquet today.

Huangfu Sisi wore a purple palace skirt tonight, her hair was coiled into a bun, and her clothes were hung with various gold and silver ornaments, which looked graceful and luxurious.

Huangfu Sisi seemed to be quite familiar with the generals of the Anxi Army, flying around like butterflies in flowers, greeting and joking with the generals, and the strange and nervous air was interspersed with her silver bell-like laughter, which finally eased the tense atmosphere a little.

After all the invited generals arrived, and not long after everyone sat idle, Han Jie entered with his sword in armor, stood at the door and said loudly to the generals: "Deputy Envoy of Anxi Jiedu, Shanghu Army, Hou Gu Hou Ye of Qingcheng County has arrived——"

There was a loud bang, the armor on the generals collided, and everyone stood up and looked at the door of the inn.

Gu Qing walked in wearing an elegant cyan gown, today's Gu Qing did not wear armor and helmets, his hair was combed neatly, a jasper hairpin was inserted in a strict and neat bun, and the clothes were brand new caftans, Zhang Huaiyu personally gave him when he left Chang'an, and he was tied with a jade belt inlaid with hundreds of jade pieces around his waist, and a purple gold fish bag was hung on the jade belt, which looked like a personable scholar, which was incompatible with the rough temperament of the lonely city in the northwest desert.

When Huangfu Sisi saw Gu Qing dressed like this, his eyes couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes suddenly glowed with brilliance. Lowering his head and looking at the clothes on his body again, his face suddenly turned red for some reason, and he pursed his lips and looked away.

Gu Qing walked into the store with a smile, and all the generals bowed down and saluted, and said in unison: "Meet the deputy envoy Gu Houye." ”

The generals are all rough men who have killed the enemy on the battlefield, this sound of drinking in unison seems to be mixed with the murderous aura of the intersection of gold and stone, the words fell, and the echo in the front hall of the inn was bursting, which shocked Huangfu Sisi's face, and then looked at Gu Qing smiled calmly, and accepted the general's salute without moving, like a Confucian handsome who has gone through the wind and waves, Huangfu Sisi's heartbeat suddenly intensified.

Deputy envoy of Jiedu, marquis of the county, the military and political affairs of the main side, the people who hold the people die, the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, there are many heroes in the world, how many people can be called "princes"?

I don't know why, Huangfu Sisi felt that his heart was very chaotic, and he couldn't tell why it was chaotic, in short, it was very chaotic.

Gu Qing smiled and bowed back to the generals, and then beckoned the generals to take their seats.

Tonight's main banquet is for the generals of the Anxi Army, so there are more Anxi generals here, and the only four generals of the left guard brought by Gu Qing are Chang Zhong and others.

As soon as he sat down and didn't speak, a guard outside suddenly came in and said, "Master Hou, the border guard army is here." ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and quickly glanced back at Han Jie, who was standing aside.

Han Jie was also stunned, and secretly shook his head at Gu Qing, indicating that Bian Lingcheng was not invited.

Gu Qing smiled, uninvited, did he even cut off his face when he was castrated?

"Hurry up and ask the border guards to come in." Gu Qing commanded with a smile.

Before anyone sees it, the sound comes first. Outside the store, Bian Lingcheng pretended to be a heroic laugh, just because of the lack of an organ in his body, the laughter was a little shriek, like a little rooster who was choked by the neck and shouted for help.

"Lord Hou is so Yaxing, the banquet guests in the wild land also have a unique flavor, haha......" Bian Lingcheng laughed inside, and all the generals got up and saluted him, but Bian Lingcheng didn't seem to see the generals, and he didn't pay attention to everyone's etiquette, and his eyes were only staring at Gu Qing alone.

Gu Qing said with a smile: "It's really an honor for the border supervisor army to come, come and set up a seat for the border supervisor army, right next to Benhou." ”

Bian Lingcheng sat down unceremoniously, and smiled at Gu Qing: "I heard that Hou Ye invited the generals of Anxi to a banquet, and Bian Mou just likes to be lively, so he came uninvited, and I hope that Hou Ye is not strange." ”

Gu Qingpi smiled and responded to a few polite words.

All of you here are generals, you can be described as a pure master among pure masters, if you don't feel inferior, of course I don't care.
