(There will be a second update later.) ）

Jerubi was hard.

It's always hard to fight continuously.

Three months ago, Huangtou and Stanobo rebelled, and he was ordered to lead 30,000 troops to quell the rebellion. Relying on his extraordinary military talents, and being the leader of the elite army, it lasted two months, and Yelubei defeated the Huangtou and Stinky Bo coalition forces one after another, and finally put down the rebellion. After killing the rebels, Yelubei led the army to sit in the territory of Huangtou and Stinkbo to digest the results of the battle, in order to firmly control the two tribes under the Khitan imperial power.

However, before Yelu Bei could deal with the matter perfectly, an edict from Yelu Abaoji was delivered to him through the envoys from the West Building. The edict is not obscure, the meaning is clear, and there are only two meanings throughout the edict. First, to commend Yelubei's great victory in the western expedition, and second, to transfer Yelubei to lead the western expeditionary army to the east to support Yelubei's assassination attack on Yingzhou.

Yelu Abaoji made it very clear in the edict: Ying, Ping Erzhou, is the southeast barrier of the Khitan, according to this place, you can enter the Central Plains, drink the Yellow River, and retreat to protect the Khitan territory; If these two places are lost, the Tang army will have the power to threaten the steppe and echo with the Bohai State. Yelu's enemy stabbed the south for a long time, and he was miserable, which was really humiliating, and Li Congjing was cunning and abnormal, and he had wolf ambitions, which must be eliminated. Now you have made great contributions to the west, and you should bring the power of great victory to restore my Khitan rivers and mountains!

No one could understand how Jerehrose felt when he received this edict.

Even those who are close to him only know that he, who has not been injured in the battle for two months, has a few deep wounds in his palms after receiving this edict.

Liu Xuan, the mastermind beside Yelubei, is half a Han Chinese, and he said to Yelubei angrily and worriedly: "After His Highness pacified the two departments of Huangtou and Yinbo, he could have taken the opportunity to deal with post-war affairs to install cronies here, support forces, and cultivate his own strength. However, now that the war is resting and everything has not yet been carried out, His Majesty suddenly ordered His Highness to go east, and His Highness has no time to do anything about this matter, which is really a big loss! Over the years, Yerod's light power has risen, and he has been able to compete with His Highness, at this time, the battle of power is like a battle for territory, and every cent must be taken. Now the imperial capital, most of the forces in the army have a clear position, indisputable, Huangtou, Stinky Bo two rebellion for His Royal Highness recently - pacified, this is the best time for His Royal Highness to expand his strength outside, but His Royal Highness has the order of rebellion, no luck to expand the momentum, what a pity! ”

This incident certainly made Yelubei angry, but in recent years, similar things are not uncommon, and Yelubei has resisted and has not lost his temper to the point of injuring himself when venting. What really made him intolerable was the edict that Yelu Abaoji followed - ordering Yelu Deguang to replace Yelu Bei and deal with the aftermath of the two ministries of Huangtou and Stinky Bo!

This also means that Jerod made a wedding dress for Jerod Light.

It was Yelu Bei who worked hard to endure hardships and fight, but it was Yelu Deguang who benefited, and Yelu Abaoji favored Yelu Deguang so much that Yelu Bei finally couldn't control his emotions.

However, Yelubei had no room to resist, and Yelu's supreme and unquestionable power and prestige in the Khitan Kingdom made Yelubei choose to obey, and in addition, he could not even show his anger.

So Jerube had a hard time.

……

The night brings the earth into its arms, the stars dance with the bright moon, the Milky Way floats quietly in the distant sky, and on the endless grassland, the night road does not know where it leads. Standing in the four directions, the night breeze is blowing, and the place where you don't distinguish the eight directions is destined to have no road, and the wilderness is destined to have no intimacy.

A hundred steps away, the lights of the big camp behind him kept going on and off, Yelubei's figure was hidden in the darkness, he looked ahead-the direction of Yingzhou, and a ridiculous thought suddenly rose in his heart: Is the direction he is facing really ahead?

"More than ten days ago, I received an edict from my father and set off for Yingzhou, and until today, Yelu's enemy has besieged Yingzhou for more than a month. Previously, my father asked me to support him on the grounds that Yelu's enemy had stabbed 'the teacher in vain', and at that time, the war had only been going on for half a month, so he said that he had fought for a long time without success, and how ridiculous his words were. To get to the bottom of it, it is nothing more than to transfer me out of the two territories of Huangtou and Stinky Bo, how anxious his heart is! ”

Jerubi thought silently.

"Yingzhou...... Li Congjing, you can still really toss, but in March, you have conquered my Khitan two states, so that my father has to send two armies in order to defeat you, less than 100 days, and to do this, I don't know if it is wise for me to let you return south that day - you are indeed a Khitan rival. ”

"Now that Keping Prefecture is occupied and Yingzhou is reoccupied, what do you want? This time I have come to this place, will you obey the covenant of the day and give me a great merit? ”

Jerubi muttered.

He suddenly laughed at himself, and said to himself: "Sad husband Yelubei! With the name of the prince, he is like a lost dog, running around and toiling without gain, and he has been making wedding clothes for others all his life, and now in the face of the enemy, he wants to expect the enemy to give you military merits, how pitiful and lamentable! ”

Jelubei suddenly raised his head, forced his gaze into the night sky, raised his horsewhip, pointed to the void, and said loudly: "Jelube, how pitiful you are! Poor, pitiful, pitiful! When he finished roaring, he laughed wildly, as if he were crazy, and at the end, he burst into tears.

The grassland is silent, the world is vast, and the end of the horizon is the junction of heaven and earth, and his laughter is the only sound between heaven and earth. The silence around him was as usual, and nothing could respond to his laughter, which was like a fluttering dandelion, lonely and lonely without knowing where to go.

The laughter stopped suddenly, just as the laughter suddenly began, and was replaced by a long silence.

Yelube's figure had been in the night for a long time, as if he was about to melt into the boundless darkness, and he suddenly burst into tears, "Min'er, where are you now, happy or sad?" ”

Yelubei didn't have a reason to think of what Li Congjing once said, "When people are frustrated or depressed, their mood is always extremely desolate, and they habitually think of some people or things that can comfort them, and subconsciously hope to give them some warmth." ”

Thinking of Li Congjing, Yelubei's eyes gradually cleared, and his face slowly returned to calm, so that his eyes lit up with a little fire.

"Li Congjing, since this prince is here, let's compete and divide the winner!"

The night wind was no longer cold, and the surging air currents began to fill with some kind of scorching color.

In a man's life, there are only two people who can make him unyielding: a beloved woman and a strong opponent!

……

Yingzhou City.

There is no war today.

After more than a month of fierce fighting, both sides are tired, and no one can help anyone for a while, so it is also a good choice to rest for a day or two, recover some energy, and then play the second half.

Rarely finding a trace of leisure, Li Congjing sat in front of the attic window and held a book to read. Whether in his previous life or in this life, Li Congjing likes to read, which has nothing to do with ambition, just a preference. A philosopher in later generations said that if a person does not have a legitimate hobby, if he does not have a thing to place his heart in his leisure, in this materialistic world, it is easy to indulge in bad habits.

If life is a lonely sail, galloping on the sea, storms and rains come from time to time, if you don't walk on the right path, you will walk on the wrong road, and there is no middle ground to be found.

The book is not some weird reading, "Lü's Spring and Autumn". Now it is late autumn, almost early winter, the north is getting colder, today is a rare sunny and good weather, the sun shines into the house through the window sill, it is very bright. At this time, it is always a pleasure to sit quietly in front of the window, wander around, read a good book calmly, and if you have something.

The book in Li Congjing's hand was turning on the page of "Bozhi", and during the reading room, the fifth girl entered the house without knocking on the door with a tea set, and did not disturb Li Congjing, obediently beside him, skillfully making tea for him. Li Congjing is very easy-going on weekdays, but now there are only two people who can enter Li Congjing's door, the fifth girl is one of Li Congjing's closest people, and because the other party is young, Li Congjing loves him very much, and he doesn't care about these subsections.

The other is Yelu Min, who will always break into Li Congjing's room at unexpected times and in an unexpected way. It's not that Ding Hei can't stop Yelumin, it's that he's too lazy to be serious with her. Moreover, although Yelu Min is rude, in front of Li Congjing, there is no difference between being powerless and unrestrained, and there is no threat.

In this era, Li Congjing usually likes only two things: books and tea. After the tea was boiled, Li Congjing just finished reading the chapter "Bozhi", and the fifth girl served tea at the right time, her eyes fell on the pages of the book, and she asked curiously: "Marshal, what is the book talking about?" ”

Li Congjing took the tea, took a sip, handed the book to the fifth, and motioned for her to read it herself.

The fifth hand held the book in both hands and read word by word: "The first king had great affairs, and those who did harm to him must get what he wanted, and he must get rid of all evil, and the reason why this fame was established." The layman is not, he has a big business and can't go to the victim, so he can't do it......" The more he read, the more he didn't understand, and he scratched his head embarrassedly, "Military commander, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Congjing put down the tea bowl, saw the fifth demeanor cute, and said with a smile: "This is to say, if the first king has something important to do, he must eliminate the factors that hinder it, and only in this way can he achieve what he requires, and only what he hates can be eliminated, which is the reason for his success." A mediocre monarch, on the other hand, achieves nothing because he cannot remove the factors that hinder success. ”

The fifth blinked, touched his little chin with his little hand and pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on the page again, and said: "The virtuous king can eliminate the factors that hinder the success, but the mediocre lord cannot, this is the difference between the two?" No wonder it was said later, 'The husband goes to harm and can't do harm, the reason why this virtuous and unscrupulous person is divided', probably this is the meaning, right? ”

"Clever!" Li Congjing praised and saw the fifth smile on his face, so he said to her: "Ji is a thousand miles a day, and the car is light; If you are overloaded, you can't count miles, and the responsibility is heavy. Horses travel thousands of miles a day because the car is light; If you pull a heavy load, you can't walk a few miles a day because of the heavy burden. Therefore, 'the deeds of the sage are also unheard, but the name is not big, and the benefit is not good, and the fool is not responsible for it', the wise man does not do anything, but the reputation cannot be revealed, and the blessing cannot be passed on to future generations, because there are ignorant and unvirtuous people who have done his drag! ”

“…… I see! Fifth, if you have an understanding, a smile appears on your face after thinking about it, which is a kind of joy from the heart after the growth of insight and knowledge. She immediately patted her chest and assured Li Congjing in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, "Don't worry, the marshal will work hard in the future, and don't be a person who drags the marshal back!" ”

Li Congjing laughed when he heard this.

Fifth, he also took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and when he put down the tea bowl, he sighed with a sigh of old-fashioned humor, and further said: "The military commander governs the army, not only has strict discipline, but also has very high requirements for combat effectiveness, and also has very strict requirements for the quality of soldiers and soldiers. ”

As the saying goes, what kind of people do what kind of things. How big the ambition is, how strict the requirements are for himself, Li Congjing has a father who will be the emperor, and he can become the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan without accidents, but in today's world, there are princes inside, and there are strong enemies outside.

In other words, what kind of group of people, what kind of army, in the troubled times, when the world is in disarray, can clear the universe, sweep away external enemies, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, open peace for all generations, and play the role of no less than a savior?

If it weren't for this great ambition and knowing that this trip was difficult, why did Li Congjing spend so much effort on the Hundred Battles Army, which was not worth it in the eyes of outsiders, and why did he let the army under his command become a king, a benevolent and righteous army, and since he went north, he has paid extra attention to his reputation?

It boils down to one sentence, because the ambition is big enough and there is the determination to achieve it!
