"These truths, you ponder slowly, and there will be a day when you will realize them." Gao Yue took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Jiantou, I and you used to be rivals, but now I am sitting here with my heart in my heart." Some people, who do not fight and do not know each other, can change from the initial enemy to a friend who shares life and death; Some people will never be able to go down the road. Life is unpredictable, and it is cherished. ”

"I value you a lot, is it really just because you are the son of King Yang Di? Although you indulge in arrogance, according to me, a man must have a momentum, otherwise like that dough, what can you do if you are wilted and let others handle it? It is true that you have shortcomings, but they finally belong to the category that can be corrected, and you should lower your attitude towards people in the future. What I take is a person's heart, and it is character. ”

Yang Jiantou was finally relieved. At least in Gao Yue's heart, he was not as unbearable as he was worried about, on the contrary, he seemed to have some weight.

"I once heard your father say that when you fell out with Qi Wannian, in order to redeem the three hundred clansmen who were plundered by his subordinates and were ready to be killed, you secretly went to Qi Wannian alone, volunteered to be a hostage, and asked him to release those clansmen, but is there such a thing?"

Hearing Gao Yue suddenly talk about this past, Yang Jian was stunned at first, and then with a reminiscent smile on his face, he muttered: "That year, I was only sixteen years old, but I was already crazy, and I was not afraid of anything. Hearing that the clansmen were going to be killed, his brain was hot, so he carried his father behind his back and broke into the Qi Wannian camp alone. Fortunately, Qi Wannian didn't know what kindness he had, saying that my young heroism and courage were commendable, and I was a good descendant of Qiu Chishan, and he liked my fearless spirit very much, so he released me and the three hundred clansmen together. When I came back, I heard that my father was shocked and scared, and he was ready to sacrifice his life to attack Qi Wannian, hehe, I didn't feel anything. At that time, I remember complaining that Qi Wannian was very stingy, and he didn't even entertain me with food, so he hurriedly sent me away, how much food can I eat from him? ”

Gao Yue laughed and slapped Yang Jian's head heavily: "Sure enough, it's a bastard!" However, in the future, when you encounter problems, you must use your brains more, think calmly, what are the consequences of your actions, and you can't always take off your clothes with a hot brain, and go up to play with people so willful, you know? ”

Yang Jiantou was a little embarrassed, smiled and said that he knew, and sighed: "Speaking of Qi Wannian, he was a great person at the beginning. But later, when he became more powerful, he quickly lost his temperament and became out of control, conniving at his subordinates to burn, kill and loot, be brutal and brutal, do any bad things, and not listen to any good words. Therefore, my father and the king turned against him, and would rather leave his homeland than bow down to such a person and call him a tiger. ”

"Do you think I will be the second Qi Wannian in the future?" Gao Yue asked deliberately.

Yang Jiantou was silent for a moment, shook his head and said resolutely: "No." I don't think the general is that kind of person at all. At the beginning, you did not commit any crimes after occupying our Xihe City, and from beginning to end, you did not hear of a single tyrannical incident against the people, so my father and king could agree with my eldest brother to take the initiative to negotiate peace. After having a deep friendship with you, your character, both father and eldest brother have said, and you will never be mistaken. ”

"Lao your family is a virtuous father and son, but no matter what I do in the future, I will never do anything that violates morality." Under the candle flame, Gao Yue's eyes lit up, and he said enthusiastically: "So after I heard about you back then, my impression of you has also changed in my heart. You must know that a man is born in the world, and he can be informal, but he must be careful about morality. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of life, and we must not deviate from it for no reason, and we must be willing to degenerate and follow the actions of the beast. I admire you for your righteousness, fearlessness and enthusiasm. ”

Yang Jiantou was rarely praised by Gao Yue in person, but he was a little embarrassed, he grabbed his head and said with a smile: "I'm just Bian Hu, and I have always been said to be a barbarian by the Central Plains in the past. We don't really understand these big truths that the general said, anyway, my father once taught me that I am sorry for my conscience, just don't do it. ”

"To come out of the mud without being stained is to praise a man like your father." Gao Yue sighed sincerely, "Jiantou, you remember, whether it is the Hu people or the Han people, heroes don't talk about their backgrounds, and good men don't belong to their clans, don't be arrogant." ”

"Speaking of which, it is for this reason that since your father entrusted you to my command, I am glad and amazed, and I have given you a few more installments. I hope you are not a reckless brave man, but a general who can grow gradually...... You see, during the day today, if you defeat Chen An, but lose Xinxing City due to negligence, then I don't need to say more about the success or failure, who is more important and who is lighter. ”

Although he deliberately or unintentionally went back to the previous topic, Yang Jiantou did not feel impatient at all, he nodded frequently, and really touched his heart, indicating that what Gao Yue said was extremely true.

The conversation is strong, and the two are eager to talk. Gao Yue said: "Right now, Chen An has retreated, what are you going to do next?" ”

When it came to business, Yang Jiantou couldn't help but say: "What's the next step, I heard that our army is competing with the nearly 30,000 troops of Puhong and Hu Song over there in Nan'an, I think the general should return to Nan'an in time to reinforce General Han." ”

Gao Yue changed his mysterious expression, and said slowly: "Nan'an, the situation of the stalemate is to be resolved. However, Han Yong commanded more than 10,000 horses, and even if he couldn't win immediately, he could always maintain the situation without defeat. So I don't want to go and reinforce him right away. ”

Wouldn't it be good to join forces and completely defeat the enemy from the front. Yang Jian was a little puzzled, and hesitated: "At present, there is no war in my Xinxing City, so do you just sit here in vain and wait for General Han to defeat the enemy by himself?" ”

Gao Yue raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "No." Xinxing, didn't you say you couldn't stay? Then come with me, I don't intend to stay here, and we will leave at the latest the day after tomorrow. ”

"Nan'an doesn't go, Xinxing doesn't stay, so where are we going? Is it just like this to return to Xiangwu? ”

Facing Yang Jiantou's confused gaze, Gao Yue said word by word: "Go to Shangtai." ”

Sima Bao was having lunch. He has a huge amount of food, and in the current war situation, he also has to pay attention to the quality and quality of the dishes. Although the body is extraordinarily fat and the movement is also inconvenient, Lang Zhong has tactfully proposed that it is best to reduce the amount of meat eaten every day, but there is no meat, and the mouth is tasteless, which will affect the mood. Everyone knows that the prince has three hobbies, he loves to eat, sleep, and beautiful women. Now the beauty seems to be suddenly uninterested somehow, but in the two dishes of eating and sleeping, you must not disturb it for no reason.

At this moment, Sima Bao was sitting alone at a carved Nanmu Eight Immortals table, stretching out his ivory chopsticks to clip a deer tail. Deer tail is a famous delicacy, and now in this situation where the Quartet cannot live in peace, it is as noble as him, and it is also a long time since he has tasted it again. It's rare to get the ingredients in the kitchen today, and I cooked a cup carefully, which is not a pleasure. The two maids who were serving carefully beside them were already frowning when they saw that Sima Bao had a round belly and couldn't reach out and couldn't reach out, so they hurriedly stepped forward and gently moved the deer tail closer.

"Well, yes, yes."

A piece of fresh soup deer tail was hurriedly sent into the mouth, soft but with some glutinous elastic unique taste, both fragrant and thick, Sima Bao was satisfied with smacking his tongue again and again, couldn't help but close his eyes, and felt the aftertaste carefully.

"Report to the king!"

There was a sudden scream outside the hall, which startled Sima Bao, who was immersed in delicious food, and the ivory chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground. He immediately lowered his face, wiped the oil juice from the corner of his mouth slightly with a silk scarf, cleared his throat, slapped the tabletop, glared and scolded: "Bastard! What is such a shock, out of character! Didn't you see that this king was eating, and he dared to make noise and disturb, what a big dog! ”

The needless eunuch who had just appeared hurriedly knelt on the ground: "King, if it is not the little slave who dares to offend, it is really the latest war report from the Nan'an front!" ”

"Really? Dog minion, don't report to me soon, such a delay. ”

The eunuch who was still kneeling secretly smiled bitterly, then raised his head and said: "According to the report sent by General Nan'an Hu, our army is now in the Dingxi area, facing off with the enemy. At present, it has successfully resisted three large-scale attacks by the enemy, blocked the momentum of Longxi's expansion, and Dingxi is safe for a while. General Hu said that the next step would be to wait for the enemy army to relax and find an opportunity to launch a counterattack, striving to defeat its main force in one fell swoop and relieve the king's worries. ”

"Oh? Well, that's good! ”

Sima Bao was so happy that he couldn't even take care of the deer tail to eat any more, so he stood up with a snort, and said with a smile on his face: "Hu Song, sure enough, there are still two brushes, and he has some skills in leading troops to fight, so it would be good for the Lone King to use him as soon as possible." The thieves of the Longxi army are blazing and prosperous, and they should be blocked head-on, frustrating the enemy's spirit, and making it difficult for him to go further. Okay, spread the will of Lonely, reward Hu Song and the strong men of the whole army, let them do it well, and wait for a triumphant return, the financial officials, and the Lone King will never hesitate to reward! ”

The eunuch bowed and left. Sima Baoxi smiled, for many days, it was all kinds of unfavorable news, which made him angry and unstable, and he didn't eat a stable meal for several days. It's rare that Hu Song has the ability, and it's good to be able to relieve his worries and sorrows.

The maid replaced a pair of silver chopsticks and handed them over. Sima Bao took it, and actually smiled at the maid: "Listen, Hu Song is on the front line, fighting for the lonely king, and repelling the enemy's attack, good news." ”

"Congratulations to the King."

"Blessed King Wanfu."

The two maids hurriedly expressed their joy and flattery, which made Sima Bao more and more happy, he felt that his appetite seemed to be better, laughed a few times, and hurriedly took a piece of deer tail and put it in his mouth.

After just a few chews, a pro-soldier trotted in in a hurry: "Your lord! The captain of the city gate came to report that I had found a large-scale enemy army in the south of Shangtai City, which was coming rapidly, and it was now less than two miles away from the city! ”

When there was a loud bang, this time, it was Sima Bao who fell off the silver chopsticks to the ground by mistake.
