Miss You, who was becoming more and more beautiful, used her words to ridicule Tang Yuan, but she made Tang Yuan laugh out loud.

"Do you know, when I first joined the army, I was just a teenager with a desire to serve the country, I didn't fight for others, but for myself. But at that time, there were always people who said that I joined the army because I couldn't eat, and I turned a deaf ear to their words, let alone refute them, until one day I became a general, and gradually I even forgot who and when I said that to me. ”

Tang Yuan stretched out his hand to the brazier and came face to face with Youlan, Tang Yuan spoke, and Youlan listened quietly.

"I remember when I was on the battlefield in Hebei, a sentence I often hung on my lips was: When I finish fighting the male Jia, I will go home to farm." Tang Yuan smiled ashamedly and said, "But then I didn't leave the army, what was it that tied me up?" ”

"Is it power?" Yulan guessed.

Tang Yuan shook his head, "In the past, I had a hard mouth and didn't admit that, although I was poor, I always pretended to be high, I felt that I was fighting for the country and the nation, and claimed that I would never participate in the battle of the gate valve, but later, I was not only involved in the war with the gate valve, but also became the protagonist who decided the fate of the gate valve." When I led the soldiers to work for the royal family and the Tang family outside Luoyang City, I asked myself profoundly, am I still me? ”

The young general with a short beard rubbed his chin, "I still remember that it was raining at that time, and I hid in the only tent in the whole army, while the soldiers were sheltering from the rain in the woods, but the rain was particularly heavy in those days, and the soldiers were drenched in the rain. ”

Tang Yuan lowered his head: "At that time, I was still thinking, why the soldiers refused to leave, why did they still follow me to fight." Can you answer me that question? ”

"I can answer how you can get the thread through the pinhole as quickly as possible, but I can't answer this question, because if I do, it must be wrong." Yulan said solemnly.

Tang Yuan suddenly remembered those soldiers who died in battle, especially those members of the pro-soldier guards, his eyes were a little moist, "I once had a cavalry servant, he also came out of the Shandong Provincial Recruit Training Camp with me, he could have been promoted to an officer with his combat strength, but he lacked the temperament of an officer, he looked like a big child all day long, and he would cry when he quarreled with others, I couldn't help him, in fact, he couldn't be blamed for this, he was only seventeen years old at the time, and in some people's families, seventeen years old was really just a child." And the conditions of his family were already very good, his grandfather was a landlord, his father became a bigger landlord, and he was pampered since he was a child. ”

"Such a person can also fight?" Yulan was slightly surprised.

"Yes." Tang Yuan said decisively: "In the past, I was the same as you, I felt that it was impossible for such a person to fight, he would definitely pee his pants when he went to the battlefield, and even be a deserter, a prisoner, in short, he came to drag his feet, but in fact it was not like that, when the horn of the charge sounded, he followed me closely, sometimes I was surrounded, and he would fight like those poor children, usually he embodied the upbringing of the family, but when it came to life and death, it was his own blood. You know, and I have to admit to this day, that the men are the most tenacious people I have ever fought. can be compared, I am afraid that only the Donghu people are left in the world. Originally, the right law was also very fierce, but now ......, I don't mean to look down on women, but I think that the practice of the Empress Dowager Xiao is wearing down the blood of the right law person. ”

"But the army of the Liang Dynasty has not been changed by the Empress Dowager Cao, right?" Yolan Road.

"You don't understand, we Han people are the strangest people, usually it looks like a pool of stinky water, there are all kinds of stinky fish and rotten shrimp in it, but every time the country rises and falls, it can be screwed together and fight tenaciously. This is not possessed by other ethnic groups, such a nation will never be wiped out, even if it is short-lived, the result will be the assimilation of foreign enemies, such as the Xianbei Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, once they entered the Central Plains, they scrambled to learn the culture of the Han people under the leadership of the Northern Wei Emperor, until later, the Xianbei nation was gone. In fact, their descendants have not disappeared, they have just integrated into our Han people, and they have also become Han people, and now they are fighting other foreign enemies with us. ”

"I'm a Xianbei person." Yulan quipped.

Tang Yuan smiled bitterly, "Your surname is You, you are a southerner when you hear it, your hometown may not be from the Lingnan area, you were also a barbarian in the past, there was no Qin Shi Huang's army to march south, you may still be a chieftain tribe now, you will be a little savage, running around wearing leaves and animal skins all day long." Just like the extremely uncivilized Miao tribes I saw in the mountains, it is impossible to believe how they have multiplied from generation to generation. ”

"You're the savage." Yulan pouted and said indignantly.

"Well, I'm a savage." Tang Yuan surrendered and didn't quarrel with Youlan, "Do you know who I'm fighting for now?" ”

"You've changed your mind again? Not for the gate valve, nor for your queen mother? ”

During the conversation, Tang Yuan had been shy about mentioning Tang Qi's name, but later, he was still mentioned by Youlan.

still remembers that when he led the troops to Luoyang in a hurry, he was most concerned about his two wives, and the third place was not the Tang family's gate valve, nor the emperor, but Tang Qi.

A complicated feeling can't be said to be any emotion, especially when he saw Tang Qi, who was pregnant with Liujia, standing on the Changxia Gate and directing the battle, a stream of blood rushed to the top of his head, making his blood run wild. At that time, he even wanted to scold his mother, did the man of the Zhao family of the royal family die? Are all the men of the Liang Dynasty dead? At this critical moment, how can a pregnant woman come out to fight?

However, when Tang Yuan understood the court and the gate valve more and more, he knew why it must be Tang Qi who was in charge of Changxiamen, because the empress dowager in power did not allow Zhang Yunlong to become the commander of the Gyeonggi garrison, and he had to find someone to suppress him, and the person who really led the soldiers to kill in Luoyang City was the white-headed veteran Zhang Yunlong.

Without the commander of Zhang Dashuai, who was tired and collapsed from his throat, the ten pregnant Tang Qi may not be able to withstand the impact of the wave of the Ximen family.

"No wonder others say that there is something between you and the queen, if you want me to see it, there is really something wrong." Yulan said with a roll of his eyes.

"What can I do with her? Even you say that? Tang Yuan was puzzled: "When she was in the army, she was the boss, and there were two groups of pro-soldiers around her, who would dare to provoke her?" Do you know Tang Qing, the eldest son and grandson of the Tang family gate valve? What kind of identity is that, he ran to the barracks to get married, so he was killed by Tang Qi. ”。

"What are you excited about?" Yulan smiled evilly: "If you want me to say, there is something between you." ”

"......" is speechless.
