Chapter 85: The Copper Furnace in Troubled Times
In the evening, dozens of marching tents were erected, and an open space was enclosed in the middle, which served as a training ground for the military patrols. There is a big tent in the center, which is Chu Tianya's official office and temporary residence. All of this is done with reference to the military structure, which is quite like that.
Originally, those stationed in the palace were some of Tong Guan's personal guards, and they were usually arrogant. If Tong Guan is there, where can outsiders occupy their territory? But now that the Shengjie Army has changed its master, once a son of heaven and a courtier, these guards are now all under the command of Wang Xun, where do they dare to take care of Chu Tianya's affairs.
Therefore, there are two military camps in the palace, one is the newly built military patrol camp, and the other is the former Shengjie army guard camp. These should be copycats and amateur military patrols who occupy the magpie's nest, but their various equipment is no worse than these guards, and they are all brand new, which makes the guards jealous and annoyed.
In the evening, the royal barracks had a unified meal, and the guards were ruthless and did not send food to the military patrols. Chu Tianya and the others came in a hurry, and they didn't have oil and rice to cook for a while, so they were really embarrassed. Chu Tianya didn't want to have any internal conflicts with the people of the Shengjie army because of a trivial matter, and he wouldn't go to the guards to beg for food, so he was going to take people to the city to solve the problem first, and tomorrow he would send someone to be responsible for the logistics and food of the entire military patrol.
At this time, Wang Xun, who went to the city gate to supervise the work, came back, and as soon as he entered the palace, he saw the newly built military patrol camp, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. He went into the camp to take a look, and learned that the Huotou Army of the palace did not send food to the military patrols, and he was immediately furious, and on the spot he called all the military envoys of the Huotou Xiang Army, and scolded them with a sea of scolding, and punished all their own Huotou from eating dinner, so he took out the food and gave it to the military patrol. He also ordered that the food supply of the military patrol in the future would be all responsible for the army, and the treatment would be the same as that of the victorious army.
At the same time, Wang Xun also revealed that the Dutong Mansion and the prefect are about to issue an order, and in the future, Chu Tianya will be in charge of the distribution of grain and grass in the whole city of Taiyuan - you people don't want to starve to death, just know each other!
This trick is really ruthless - someone choked his stomach, and he couldn't accept it if he wanted to admit it.
When he didn't have his father by his side, Wang Xun was still very domineering and decisive, and he was also majestic in the army. Seeing him behave like this, Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you are so tossed, I can't keep a low profile now." Originally, I occupied the territory of the palace to build a camp, which is a forcible occupation of other people's territory, so I have to be soft first. After a long time, I have my own way to get them to obey me. It's good now, you'll get them all right when you come. But I don't think they're convinced, which isn't necessarily a good thing. ”
"Don't be afraid!" Wang Xunniu said angrily, "Let me tell you, things in the army can sometimes be very simple or complicated. Like this, if you have a lower official position than you, you must ask for it, just bully, don't care if he is taken orally or convinced. ”
Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, but he was noncommittal. The heart said that Wang Xun has his own way of doing things, and sometimes simple is indeed very effective; But in the long run, it is better to suppress than to punish the heart, and to subdue the hearts of the people is the best policy. Wang Xun's character can be a general, not a general, let alone a handsome. It is no wonder that Wang Xun followed his father to follow Tong Guan's southern expedition to the north for so many years, and he was always just a "vanguard officer" who sounded very majestic and charged into battle, but he didn't even get the actual position of a commander. In comparison, Meng De's martial arts and ability to lead troops to fight may not be better than Wang Xun, but he has the ability to "serve the public" and personality charm. If these two people lead the troops from Rong together, the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army under Meng De will definitely be stronger than Wang Xun's! ……
Chu Tianya has always firmly believed that whether it is in politics in peacetime, or in the war years, even if it is to do an excellent job in an ordinary job, or to be invincible in life, the first thing is to be a person, know people, and employ people.
Especially in the current troubled times, whether literary or martial, you can make contributions with a skill. But only a very small number of people can really stand at the top of the pyramid; Under the command of such people, there are often many talents with "one skill" and far superior to themselves.
employing people, or being used by others; How to use people, or how to be used by people - Chu Tianya finally had time to start thinking calmly, and the important question of "life positioning" after rebirth.
Wang Xun had dinner with Chu Tianya, and after chatting, he learned that the injury on his chest had not improved, especially after being punched by Liu Yanqing, and it had worsened, Wang Xun was very worried. So he took a few bottles of his ancestral secret medicinal oil and gave them to Chu Tianya, and asked him to "let my younger brothers and sisters rub them for you" when he went home.
Chu Tianya was funny, how could she help me rub it, it was possible to ravage.
After thanking Wang Xun, Chu Tianya called a few military patrols to carry the guns, horse harnesses, horse materials and other things he picked up, and prepared to go home. Wang Xun's words just now reminded Chu Tianya that seeing that a big war was coming, he had to do his best to heal his injuries and let He Bo guide him in martial arts. Although it is impossible to become a top master overnight, it is not bad to be born in troubled times, and it is not bad to have a little more ability to save your life. Thinking of the past few adventures, if you are strong, you will not be so poor.
When I got home, it was getting late. The night was gloomy and there were no stars and moons, and the weather was cold and only the north wind was howling.
Xiao Linglong was wearing a thin autumn shirt and was practicing piles. Step by step, she walked on the unsecured stakes, practicing her body and footwork, and was engrossed in the face of a great enemy.
When Chu Tianya pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, Xiao Linglong squinted at Chu Tianya with a little distraction, and accidentally fell down under her feet.
The slamming wooden stakes overturned several times, Xiao Linglong fell to the ground with a heavy muffled sound, and two wooden stakes smashed on her.
Chu Tianya grabbed it at a glance, and suddenly felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and hurriedly stepped forward, "What's wrong?" ”
"Young Master, don't move!" He Bo, who was sitting in an inconspicuous corner, suddenly spoke, completely devoid of his previous kindness and ridicule, but said very sternly, "Let her get up by herself and re-erect the stake, turn this 'peak loop upside down' spear pace, and practice ten more times!" ”
Chu Tianya gritted his teeth, nodded and stopped.
Xiao Linglong obviously fell not lightly this time, her expression was painful, her eyebrows were tightened, and a layer of cold sweat on her forehead was flowing down there. She struggled to push away the big wooden stakes that pressed on her body, got up, and one by one held the stakes and set up her steps, and was ready to jump up again.
"Wait a minute, I have something for you." Chu Tianya said suddenly.
He Bo glanced at Chu Tianya, and without saying much, he got up and walked into the ear room.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Linglong wiped the beads of sweat on her face, "Don't delay my practice!" ”
Chu Tianya waved his hand, motioned to the military inspector behind him to lift up the armor and other objects, and said, "Look at these weapons, which ones are suitable for use, or what are the shortcomings?" ”
Two military inspectors took the weapon racks and listed several long and short spears one by one.
Xiao Linglong glanced at it, "Are you going to open an arms shop?" ”
Chu Tianya smiled, motioned for the two military patrols to go back and rest on their own, then took off the thick cloak he had just received on his body, and handed it to Xiao Linglong, "Rest for a while, put it on, don't catch a cold." ”
Xiao Linglong hesitated, smiled slightly, and still reached out to pick up the cloak. With a shake, she walked to Chu Tianya's side, pressed her hands on his shoulders, but draped the cloak on his shoulders.
"You don't look handsome, and you still learn from others to pity the jade?" Xiao Linglong smiled, "You are seriously injured, so take care of yourself!" ”
Chu Tianya laughed, "Who stipulated that only handsome guys can be pitied?" In fact, you don't understand men - real men, who dare to face ugly women, and dare to eat swan meat that is not mouthful. ”
"What a mess!" Xiao Linglong was amused, and chuckled a few times, "Hey, if you don't have anything to do with me, don't delay my martial arts practice." You see, Uncle He was angry with you. You've got to help me get him back. ”
"It's fine. I just see that you are too tired and hard to practice, and I want you to rest for a while. Chu Tianya grinned and said, "I didn't expect that when Uncle He taught people to practice martial arts, he would be so strict, and he would be like two people in ordinary times." ”
"Strict teachers produce high apprentices, since ancient times." Xiao Linglong said, "If he is not strict with the old man, I still have no bottom in my heart, thinking that he has no intention of teaching." ”
"It seems that one of you is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer, but I have a lot of trouble." Chu Tianya smiled, "Okay, you continue to practice." But be careful, don't fall down and hurt somewhere - to you, the ancestral secret medicine of the Wang family, Guan Ling. ”
"Got it." Xiao Linglong took the medicine bottle, stood beside Chu Tianya, and gently patted him on the shoulder, "You quickly heal your injuries and come to practice with me - I am used to using the Taining pen." When you enter the door, you will know what kind of gun is suitable for your hand. ”
Chu Tianya was thinking in his heart, if I remember correctly, this was the first time Xiao Linglong used "body language" on me, and gently patted me a few times. Not to mention, it feels pretty good, a bit of the smell of first love when I was young and ignorant in my previous life.
"Then I'll go rest." Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "Don't be too tired." He Bo also said that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. ”
"yes, I see."
Chu Tianya walked to the side of the ear room and slapped the door vigorously, "Uncle He, don't pretend to be dead, come out!" ”
He Bo walked out slowly with a thick coat, glanced at Xiao Linglong who was practicing piles in the yard, and smiled, "Young master, you ...... tonight Cave house? ”
"What?"
"Haven't heard that yet? I have to say it out loud so that she can hear it, how embarrassing! ”
Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing, "Where are you going!" ”
"Hehe, born in troubled times, don't pay attention to so many twists and turns. Not to mention that the two of you are concubines and concubines who love each other, it is a pair of men and women who have never known each other, and if you say that you will become a family, you will become a family. If nothing else, if you want to survive, you have to rely on each other. He Bo said, "The young master has not experienced that kind of turmoil, so he may not understand." When the crisis of life and death really comes, human life is so fragile. A person who is still standing in front of you today may become a cold corpse tomorrow, or even enter someone else's stomach. Even if you have a thousand words to say to him, you can't tell him how to cherish him. ”
Chu Tianya was stunned, "Is it necessary to say it so strictly?" ”
"It's not me scaring you. I've experienced all of this myself. Uncle He's expression was a little stricter, and there was a gloom in his eyes, "When the old man followed Fang La's uprising, he looked starving all over the field, and there were many corpses, and he could see life and death at every moment. Principles, principles, morals, and principles will become vulnerable in the face of death...... I have seen a couple of parents cook their three-year-old child and eat it. Who can understand such a thing in a peaceful situation? ”
Chu Tianya's brows furrowed deeply, "Uncle He, why did he suddenly tell me this today?" ”
"I just want to persuade the young master to cherish the people in front of me." He Bo raised his eyes, rarely looked at Chu Tianya so formally, and said, "Once the Jin soldiers come, the world will inevitably be in chaos." Troubled times are like a copper furnace, and war is a fire, which will turn this great world into purgatory. Whether it is your beloved woman, relatives, or friends, it is possible to disappear from you at any time. Neither of us can be sure that we will survive until tomorrow. So now every moment, you have to cherish. Don't wait until you lose it, and then regret it. ”
"Troubled times are like copper furnaces...... Chu Tianya took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Xiao Linglong, who was seriously practicing piles in the courtyard, and said, "Uncle He, please believe me-no matter what happens tomorrow, I will not let you be hurt!" ”
"You guys?" He Bo couldn't help but smile slightly, "Who will be included in the 'you' that the young master said?" ”
"Those who love me, and those I love.".
