Chapter 9 Mingyue's hometown
After the inspection, a group of generals and colonels have returned to the camp to rest, Liu Fan because of the two days have changed too much, and since he woke up yesterday, he has not stopped, although he has recognized the fact that he has crossed, but somehow he seems to have been a little uneasy in his heart, and he can't filter out what is going on.
It is already midnight, the moon is like water, a round of bright moon hangs high in the sky, the west, south, and north are lit dozens of miles away, which should be the Khitan army and our Jincheng army and Ganzhou military camp tent respectively.
The troops on duty on the city wall were watching closely ahead, and the other troops had already taken time to rest in the tents by the city wall.
Late at night, thinking that tomorrow is August 15, in this moon festival, looking up at the same bright moon in the sky, suddenly remembered Mr. Dongpo's poem that has been popular for thousands of years: "People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, this matter is difficult to complete, but I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together."
Yes, Mr. Dongpo wrote this poem to miss his brother who is thousands of miles away, but where are his parents and brothers, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good and bad luck, a stone separates himself from his relatives in two worlds, three sisters and brothers in the family, he is the youngest, and the one who usually respects filial piety the least under his parents' knees is himself, and his heart is full of thoughts and regrets at this time.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Dong Zi say, "Brother, what are you looking at, Wang Lvshuai can't even see it when he greets you." β
Only then did Liu Fan notice that Wang Kai and a short man in a light green military uniform were slowly pacing from the northern city wall, and they were snoring at him from afar.
Liu Fan didn't bother to talk to Dong Zi at this time, so he ran over on his feet, gave a military salute to the other party, and said, "I've seen the two generals, why hasn't General Wang gone back to rest?" β
Before Wang Kai could speak, the short man next to him immediately said, "I don't dare to take on such a title, my subordinate is just a battalion captain", and bowed, "Li Aiguo, the captain of the second brigade of the Shenwu Army, has seen Brigade Marshal Liu." β
Wang Kai said, "This little Brigade Commander Liu's brain is not simple, Li Ergui, you have to be closer to Brigade Commander Liu in the future." β
Li Aiguo replied, "My subordinates understand, please give more advice to Lvmarshal Liu in the future." Saying another salute, Liu Fan was at a loss and didn't know how to respond, so he had to scratch his head in embarrassment.
Wang Kai said again, "Just now I saw that Xiao Liu Lushuai raised his head and kept looking at the moon, and he couldn't even see my greeting, I heard that there is a beautiful fairy living in the moon, did you see a beautiful woman?" β
Liu Fan saw the face of Wang Kai's hippie smile, and secretly said to himself in his heart: "It's really a dog who can't spit out ivory in his mouth." He replied casually: "No, no, I just feel that the moon and stars are sparse and glorious on this late autumn night, and the nature is really beautiful." β
"Alas, alas, stop, stop, say that you have something in your head that is really displayed, if you want a daughter-in-law, you want a daughter-in-law, what's not easy to export, if you don't want General Zhang's daughter, go back and my brother will introduce you to one, and you will be satisfied."
Liu Fan shook his head in distress, why did this person come here again, so he had to change the topic and said: "Lvshuai Wang, what is the origin of that General Xiaomin today, it seems that everyone let him." β
Wang Kai glanced at Li Aiguo and said, "Look, look, this kid really misses his daughter-in-law, and he has a crush on Xiaomin, but my brother wants to tell you solemnly, Xiaomin, you just stop, that's not a dish you can eat." β
"Ah, is General Xiaomin a woman?"
"Haha, you don't really know, do you really think of him as our stinky man, it's really a waste of a charming little girl."
"Xiao Min is a girl, this is not even an old news in the northwest camp, almost no one knows about it, okay, for the sake of you and me jointly defending the western city wall, my brother will pour this inside story for you."
Several people sat down on the stool that the guards had just moved, and Wang Kai continued the topic just now: "You don't know, Xiaomin's surname is Li, his name is Li Min, when it comes to Li Min, even the current prince has to look up to three points, because he has a world-famous father and the elder brother of the upstart in the army, that is, General Li Zongxiong, the head of the northwest camp of my Great Qi, and General Li Shouyi, the Sima of the Shence Army, and General Li Shouyi married the lord of Jingning. β
"That's not all, do you know who Xiaomin's previous fiancΓ© is? It is my great Qi general General Meng Zheng's little son Meng Tao, and the second prince together with the study of Li Daguan to learn martial arts, at a young age to worship the general of the Great Qi Xuanwei, in the northwest camp to serve, but the sky is jealous of talent, General Meng Tao and Xiao Min have not yet married, in the second year of the battle against the Khitan army unfortunately died, Xiao Min because of the frustration of marriage and since he was a child, he likes to dance knives and guns under the influence of his father and brother, and he actually wants to join the army and say that he wants to avenge his fiancΓ© who died in battle, but I heard that the two have not met much after Meng Tao learned martial arts, Revenge may just be an excuse, but in fact, since childhood, I have had the idea of going into battle to kill the enemy. β
"The chief manager's favorite is Li Min's little daughter, and in the end he didn't resist him, and after four years of war, she followed Song Changshi of the camp to learn military affairs. This year's war is together, and the general manager must go to the front line, no, I gave a nominal commander of the A Brigade of the Shenwu Army, and followed Commander Guo to learn military affairs, in fact, the A Brigade is basically the deputy brigade commander Chen Old Man has the final say. β
Wang Kai paused, and then continued, "Haha, Brigade Commander Liu, to put it bluntly, if Li Min is a big tree, you are a short grass, don't think of yourself as tall, you are no taller than a small tree, after the battle, my brother will invite you to the most famous Yihong Courtyard in Liangzhou to see and see, that is the right way." β
Liu Fan thought in his heart, "I was curious, you made up such a bunch of tirades, it is curiosity that kills people, he Li Min is a big tree, and he has nothing to do with my little grass." β
said, "General Wang, what you said is right, I have written it all down, and after the battle, we will go to Liangzhou to drink together." β
Because the battle might start early tomorrow, the group went back to the barracks to rest after nearly half an hour.
Although the hour has passed midnight, Liu Fan has not been able to find the reason because of the trace of anxiety in his heart, and it is difficult to sleep in bed, so he simply sat up and asked the soldiers on duty outside to pour a cup of tea for himself, and while drinking it slowly, he sorted out what happened after waking up.
"The injury in the mountains, Uncle Su's introduction, the promotion in the military camp, the horse training in the martial arts, the meeting in the lobby, the speech of the commander-in-chief, his own strategy, and the defense of Ganzhou."
"Yes, it is their own strategy, although how they think about this strategy is relatively perfect, but the war is changing rapidly, because of the speech of a hairy young man, hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered under the city of Ganzhou, once the war is lost, resulting in the annihilation of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, can you afford this responsibility? At that time, even if you break your own corpse into thousands of pieces, you will not be able to save the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops! β
Thinking like numbness, I thought for a while that I would simply go and tell Qi Boyuan that I was young and ignorant; After a while, I thought that if the army of more than 100,000 was wiped out, it would definitely be difficult for me to be alone as a member of it, and I would be a hundred dead if I was already dead; After a while, I thought about what if Daqi was defeated, but I accidentally survived, would I be killed?
I thought about it for nearly half an hour, but I still didn't have a clue about how to solve this troublesome thing, so I had to go through the plan in detail, and I felt that the plan was still feasible, and I couldn't see any major mistakes.
At this time, it is too late to save it, think about it is a small person, a big deal to die, cutting off a head is a scar the size of a bowl, and twenty years later, he is a good man, but his mistakes are likely to affect Dong Zi, Uncle Su, the uncle and aunt who did not meet, as well as Qi Boyuan and Ma You......lai.
There was another contradiction in his heart, alas, Liu Fan suddenly lay on the bed again, and said in his heart, no matter what, what should I do, put my head in the quilt and pretend to be an ostrich.
