Chapter 7: The Necessity of Life

The Huns never fought in the worst season of spring, when horses, cattle and sheep were barren and thin, and at this time they even had a full meal was a luxury, how could they be willing to go to war at this time?

In the spring, it is the time when the cattle and sheep eat the grass for life, and the herdsmen are busy grazing for the harvest of the year, and they are not in the mood to fight.

Life is actually the most important topic in everyone's life, and war is nothing but a bloody embellishment.

In other words, war is just a supplement to life, once the Huns have no food to eat, they will automatically go to grab other people's food.

It's not so much that they like to attack the big guys, but that it's their instinct to snatch food to fill their stomachs and the utensils they need to sustain themselves......

It's like a wolf that eats a sheep when it's hungry......

In their eyes, the Han people are lambs, a habit that has been cultivated since ancient times, and it will not be able to change for a while.

Since it's an instinctive thing...... Confrontation is the real way, and only when the lamb has become a tiger will the hungry wolf fear you and offer you his small rations......

The Huns, who did not start the war, were in fact a very hospitable race, and if they could meet a shepherd in the wilderness, he would be willing to sacrifice all he had so that the guests could stay in his home for two more days.

Of course, it does not include the shepherds around Baishan Mountain, these people are no longer considered herdsmen, they should be regarded as real full-career soldiers.

A Xiongnu tribe in Nuoda, a warrior who really needs to fight in armor all year round, is close to the shepherds in the area of Baishan Mountain.

Yun Lang didn't have much mind to study these metaphysical things, and the most important thing for him at the moment was to build the chain bridge as soon as possible.

The iron chains in the cavalry army are ready-made, and there are towering giant pines that more than ten people can't hold on to this side of Baishan Mountain, as long as the iron chains are tied to these giant pines, it is not a big problem, and as for Hook Mountain, it is very troublesome.

The soil here was soft, and there were no pine trees to borrow, so I had to bring huge boulders from a distance on the other side of the river, polish them into huge stones, drill holes in them, and then pile them up piece by piece, and six heavy iron rods passed through the holes in the stones, and then burned them with a great fire, and when all the iron rods were burned red, a strong man wielded a heavy hammer and riveted the iron rods tightly with the rock.

Xie Changchuan got the news when he was pulling up an iron chain on the Blind River.

Hurriedly riding to the river, he saw another black iron chain with a thick bowl mouth being pulled straight by a dozen oxen on the opposite side, and his mouth full of teeth was about to be crushed.

An iron chain weighs more than 800 kilograms, and this chain bridge actually needs a full eight iron chains......

"Tens of thousands of catties of refined iron were actually consumed here by these yellow-mouthed children!"

Military Sima Pei Yan smiled bitterly: "The richness of the materials of the cavalry captain is far better than that of my generation, not to mention the riding of two horses, not to mention the armor of the whole army, just the refined iron consumed on a bridge is comparable to the fine iron stored in our army." ”

Xie Changchuan sighed and said: "You and I are both from the beginning, how can we compare with these people who were born with gold."

Whenever we think that we have gone through a lot of hard work to achieve a goal that should be admired by everyone, we will find that what we can only get with blood and sweat is put in the palm of people's hands as soon as they are born.

Every time I think about it, the heart of a certain family hurts like a knife! ”

Pei Yan said with a smile: "I have endured it for more than 20 years, I might as well endure it for another three years, and in another three years, you will no longer have a reason to stay in Baishan Mountain, so it is reasonable that you will return to Chang'an, get the reward you deserve, and then start cultivating your home." ”

When Xie Changchuan heard this, he seemed to get a trace of comfort, and nodded with a smile: "How about my eldest son and your eldest daughter's marriage?" ”

Pei Yan smiled and pointed at Xie Changchuan and said, "You just said that you are a turtle-like person, and you seem to be a little unconvinced.

Turn your head and do something that only a turtle does, no wonder people look down on you, and you look down on yourself. ”

Xie Changchuan said angrily: "The eldest son and the eldest daughter have grown up together since childhood, and now that they are at the age of Sichun, if you don't marry them again, are you going to wait for them to make a scandal before you give up?" ”

Pei Yan sneered: "If something ugly really happens, a certain family will push the boat down the river, and it will be a little embarrassing at most."

If it's a normal marriage, you must not open this mouth, and I will not agree. ”

Xie Changchuan was stunned, he and Pei Yan lived and died together for half a life, even if they were brothers, there was nothing wrong with it, he thought that his son marrying the eldest daughter of the Pei family was a good thing to kiss and kiss, but he didn't expect his old friend to not agree.

"What is the reason?"

Xie Changchuan did not get angry, but asked, there is nothing to misunderstand between the old brothers, there must be a reason.

Pei Yan pointed to Cao Xiang, who was directing the soldiers on the other side of the river to drag the chains, and said, "You know the old cow of the Changfeng Battalion, right? ”

Xie Changchuan nodded and said, "The one who was hit in Bai Mountain's buttocks?" What's wrong? ”

Pei Yan said: "This time, when I went back to Chang'an, I happened to meet the son of Changping, Pingyang Hou, who was married to Lao Niu's daughter.

Do you know, Lao Niu's daughter did not become Cao's wife, just a flat wife. ”

Xie Changchuan said strangely: "Lao Niu is also a good man, so he is willing to suffer such humiliation?" ”

Pei Yan said with a smile: "That kid on the other side of the river likes Lao Niu's daughter to the tip of his heart, and Princess Changping is also hired as a wife...... It is supposed to be a great joy......

As a result, Lao Niu's daughter became a flat wife! ”

"Shhh ”

Pei Yan continued to point to Cao Xiang on the other side of the river and said: "This kid can be regarded as a backbone kid, he simply didn't do anything, didn't stop working, got the daughter of the Lao Niu family pregnant, and then knelt alone outside the Jianzhang Palace for a day and a night......

In this way, Lao Niu's eldest daughter became the wife of Pingyang Houfu!

If the eldest son of your family has this kid's responsibility, even if my eldest daughter marries your family as a wife, I will be happy! ”

Xie Changchuan smiled bitterly and said apologetically to Pei Yan: "My eldest son was spoiled by his old wife, and he probably doesn't have Cao Xiang's courage." ”

Pei Yan said angrily: "We are not rich yet, and the life and death of fighting with the barbarians in the mud pit are unpredictable, and our descendants have already been abolished."

How many times, I want you to bring Xie Ning to Baishan Mountain, but you just refuse, with his little ability, how can he support the Xie Pei family in the future?

Look at these four people, except for the military Sima with a strange background, which of the other three is not more noble than Xie Ning?

They can all come to Baishan Mountain, why can't Shainin come? My old Pei is useless, I can't give birth to a son, if I have a son, I will tie her to Baishan even if I tie her.

Our brothers have no other ability, but to work hard to gain military merit in exchange for the comfort of the rest of their lives, and also to leave some thoughts for their children and grandchildren.

If you leave Xie Ning in Chang'an again, the Xie Pei family will be the rich and noble life of you and me for half of our lives.

Don't think I don't know why you can't get used to these four little guys, the reason is that you understand one thing.

Those who come from a nobler background than us are still trying to earn a future, while our children are sitting back and enjoying their success!

You know better than anyone else in your heart, even if you can't bear your little bit of blood and bones, and you don't have the idea of cutting off your children and grandchildren, what kind of wealth are you mixed with! ”

"Huh? What do I think? “

Xie Changchuan scratched the back of his head, a little uncertain.

"You have to think like this, we brothers for more than twenty years, I know what shit you're going to poop when you pout your ass!"

Yun Lang was not far from them, but these two people didn't seem to see him, and the voice was loud and slow, and it was difficult for him to hear clearly.

Since the last incident, Yun Lang didn't dare to underestimate these old thieves who didn't know big words on the surface.

These people are also because they can't read, so they can live in the current environment, once they are literate and literate, they are all old traitors in the world.

Everyone has said this, if Yun Lang pretends to be a fool again, he will look down on people.

I had to let the soldiers drive the oxen to continue to wrap the chains around the big tree, and walked forward to salute: "General Xiao Xie is coming to me to ride the captain?" ”

Pei Yan said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a smart person who has read books, and a certain family can understand the mind of a certain family by casually saying a few nonsense."

That's it, Xie Ning has been brought to Baishan Mountain by me, what can we learn from the two people who don't know a lot of big words, why don't you take it? ”
