Tang Zheng sat in the chair in the camp for a while, today's battle was going well, everything was expected by Tang Zheng, and everything was developing in the direction he arranged.

But the only thing he didn't expect was the lives of tens of thousands of people, not tens of thousands of livestock. Because of his own orders, all of them were buried in the mouth of Zhurong.

Tang Zheng kept telling himself that they were rebels and enemies, and that on the battlefield it was either you or I would die.

Tang Zheng told himself over and over again that he had done nothing wrong, and if he didn't do so, he would only sacrifice the lives of his brothers, and would only sacrifice more innocent people and families.

Although he always kept telling himself like this, he never got past this level in his heart. Even if there are thousands of reasons, Tang Zheng can't pass the threshold of his conscience, and the death of tens of thousands of soldiers is also because of his own orders.

Just when Tang Zheng was thinking wildly, Cheng Pu didn't know when he was standing behind him, and Tang Zheng didn't notice it.

"Big brother, am I an executioner, tens of thousands of soldiers came to an end because of one of my orders. They also have family and friends, and how many families have been ruined by one of my orders. Tang Zheng raised his head and asked Cheng Pu.

"You're right, whoever you can reduce the casualties of your soldiers will tend to be even more unscrupulous. Although it seems that too many people have been sacrificed this time, have you ever thought that they are a group of chaotic people, and how many families have been ruined and their wives have been separated. You want to put down their rebellion, how many people will be spared the chaos of war because of you, not to mention that you know how many people will be alive in this city if they capture Xu Wu, if they merge with the Hu people, how much chaos will be caused by then, and how many people in the world will be poisoned by war. So this time, I saw that I killed more people, but you also saved more people because of it. Cheng Pu persuaded: "The battlefield is a place where you live and die and the weak eat the strong, since they have chosen the path of rebellion, then they must also be prepared to be pacified and exterminated by the imperial court." As the commander of this counterinsurgency, you have to take responsibility for the lives of your soldiers and think about the people who follow you, instead of locking yourself in your house and feeling sorry for yourself for the death of tens of thousands of enemies, as you are now. After Cheng Pu's preaching, Tang Zheng felt much better, so he said to Cheng Pu: "Big brother, what do you say is wrong with this world, why is there always war. Everyone farms with peace of mind, and there is nothing wrong with being an official with one heart as an official. ”

"There are always some people in this world who feel that they are nobler than others, and that they are born to enjoy the contributions of the world. Once they feel that what they are enjoying now is not enough to show that they are noble, they will use the power in their hands to seek more luxury for themselves. It's just that they forget that when a person can barely survive, it will be over by gritting their teeth, but when even living becomes a luxury, people will rise up and resist. One side is for the sake of exploitation and oppression, and the other side is for the sake of not being exploited and oppressed, so that the two classes will have contradictions, and the solution of contradictions generally depends on whose force is strong, and the most powerful force is war. Cheng Pu said to this Tang Zheng.

"Big brother, you said that if one day there is no oppression and exploitation in this world, there will be no war?"

"I don't know this, as long as there are people, there will be oppression and exploitation, as long as oppression and exploitation are not eliminated, war will exist, it will just break out sooner or later."

"Big brother, you said that if one day we solve the oppression and exploitation, it does not mean that it will be completely eliminated, but when everything is under control, so that the people can live and have enough to eat, will there be no war?"

"If there is really such a day as you say, then this world is a world of Datong that does not leave the road behind and does not close the door at night." Cheng Pu said to Tang Zheng with a smile.

"Big brother, I believe there will be such a day, let's think about this goal together." Tang Zheng stretched out his hand towards Cheng Pu as he spoke, and Cheng Pu also stretched out his hand to hold Tang Zheng's hand and said, "Well, I believe that my brother will be able to do it, and I will unswervingly support you." After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Cheng Pu saw that Tang Zheng's heart knot was untied, so he took Tang Zheng out for dinner, since the end of the war in the morning, Tang Zheng has not eaten for a day, and now it is dinner time.

"Childe, Gongsun Chan has arrived, I heard that he came with the emperor's will, and now he is being received by the Jiang County Order in the county ya." Zhang Chao said to Tang Zheng.

"Oh, it's so soon, how many men did he bring with him?" Tang Zheng asked.

"I heard that Gongsun Chan brought all his 3,000 White Horse Yi soldiers over this time, so I went to the barracks to see that they were much stronger than our cavalry." Zhang Chao replied.

"Well, let's go over and have a look." After speaking, Tang Zheng led Zhang Chao towards the county office.

"The cavalry lieutenant came at the right time this time, and the people of the city in the next generation have thanked the cavalry captain." As soon as Tang Zheng arrived outside the door, he heard Jiang Chen talking to someone.

"Jiang County's order is too polite, sending troops to quell the rebellion was originally the duty of our generals, but it was too late to come down, but Xu Wu had already exterminated the Yellow Turban thieves by himself."

"Hey, why should the cavalry captain be modest, the Yellow Turban thieves have been destroyed, but recently I heard that Wuhuan has moved, the previous Yellow Turban thief general Deng Mao contacted the rebel party Zhang Chun and Wuhuan leader Qiu Liju in an attempt to trouble my right Beiping, although now Deng Mao has been wiped out by the reinforcements led by Tang Zheng of Tuyin, but Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and others gathered 100,000 troops to prepare to take advantage of the fact that the court is busy with the season of countering the rebellion to attack my right Beiping for the disaster of Youzhou."

"I know this matter, and this is also the reason why the Holy Sect is coming down, the Holy Sect is coming down because of the Yellow Turban Deng Mao and his ilk, and secondly, it is also to guard against the robbery of Wu Huan. It's just that I don't know where Tang Zheng is now, I heard a lot about his deeds along the way from Liangzhou, and I heard that he went to Ma Ke to govern the army and went down to Ma Ke to settle the people. ”

"During this time, he was busy quelling the rebellion, Deng Mao and his ilk have been busy, and Tang Gongzi is now resting in his military camp, and he has already called someone to invite him, and it is estimated that it is almost there." As soon as Jiang Chen's words were finished, he heard the voice of a servant greeting Tang Zheng from outside.

"No, you see him, he's there." Jiang Chen said to Gongsun Chan with a smile. Gongsun Zhan looked curiously at Tang Zheng, who had just stepped into the room, and there was nothing strange about it from the outside, but he was just young and handsome.

To say that young is too young, it is estimated that he is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Gongsun Zhan didn't know that Tang Zheng was actually only sixteen years old.

At this time, Jiang Chen spoke: "Tang Gongzi's body is better after resting for the past two days?" Jiang Chen hadn't seen Tang Zheng since Tang Zheng killed Deng Mao, and Tang Zheng hadn't even attended the celebration banquet, he only knew that Tang Zheng was unwell, and he didn't know what was going on, and he sent people to inquire many times but didn't hear any results.

That's why I asked him when I saw him today.

"I'm tired of Lord Jiang's attention, it's much better down here." Tang Zheng politely greeted Jiang Chen, then turned to Gongsun Chan beside Jiang Chen and said, "Presumably this is Lord Gongsun Chan, the county commander of Zhuo County, and I have seen Lord Gongsun Chan below." "Gongsun Chan is handsome and extraordinary, and from the appearance he does not look like a general who commands the army to fight, but more like a well-mannered scholar, about thirty years old, with two beards.

"Tang Gongzi is wrong, now the cavalry captain is no longer the county commander of Zhuo County, and now he has been promoted to the cavalry captain, and he is fighting with rebel generals such as Bian Zhang Han Sui in the Liangzhou area." Jiang Chen, who was standing beside Gongsun Zhan, said: "The cavalry lieutenant is a great achievement, and the Bian Zhang Han Sui and others who fought in Liangzhou can't raise their heads. ”

"Master Jiang laughed, what kind of meritorious service is there, but it is just relying on the help of his brothers." Gongsun Zhan said: "If you want to say who is the most meritorious person, I think Tang Gongzi is, this is not a saint who has already brought Tang Gongzi's seal letter and official uniform, and now it is time to call Tang Gongzi the captain of the agricultural capital." After speaking, Gongsun Zhan asked people to hand over the emperor's holy decree and Tang Zheng's official uniform seal letter to Tang Zheng.

"Tang Gongzi was already the captain of the right Beiping at a young age, and now the right Beiping is not too guarded, and the assassin of Youzhou was also killed, and everything in the civil and military affairs of the entire right Beiping has been handed over to Tang Gongzi, which shows the trust of the saint in Tang Duwei." Gongsun Zhan said a little sourly, anyone who encounters such a thing will have some emotions, thinking that he has only mixed up with the position of cavalry lieutenant after so many years of hard work, and he Tang Zheng has only been mixed into the position of nong lieutenant in just one year, and he is on an equal footing with himself, the key is that there is no direct official on the head, and the entire right Beiping is his final say.

Tang Zheng was also a little in a trance, he didn't know how he was promoted, and he went up a lot, from a county lieutenant to a county lieutenant, although there are only four counties in Youbeiping County, but it is also a county anyway, not to mention that now Youbeiping is not too guarded Youzhou Assassin Shi Guo Xun has also been killed, and no one in the entire Youbeiping or Youzhou can directly govern him, and now he can recruit troops openly.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng couldn't help but have a good impression of the unmasked emperor of the day, so he knelt down in the direction of Luoyang and said: "The minister will live up to the trust of the saint, and he must train his soldiers and horses to guard the country for the saint." Jiang Chen was also dizzy, Tang Zheng, who was just a small county lieutenant just now, suddenly became his boss, although he was not directly in charge of him, but everything in military affairs would only be up to Tang Zheng in the future.

"Lord Gongsun came from afar, and Lord Jiang prepared a little wine to wash the dust for Lord Gongsun, and the border city is simple, I hope Lord Gongsun will not dislike it." Tang Zheng said to Gongsun Zhan.

"Hey, now that Tang Duwei is at the same level as me, how dare you be called an adult, if Tang Duwei doesn't dislike it, call me Brother Gongsun, and I will also call Tang Duwei Tang Brother, what do you think is like this." Gongsun Chan said to Tang Zheng.

"Lord Gongsun is also Tang Zheng's predecessor, how dare he lose his manners."

"It seems that Brother Tang doesn't look down on me, so I won't be strong." Gongsun Chan said.

"Since Lord Gongsun can afford to look down, then I will take the liberty of calling Brother Gongsun high."

"Hahaha, that's good, let's go, I must not get drunk with Brother Tang today." After Gongsun finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen also understood that he would turn around and take the two of them to eat.
