That night, Chu Tianya agreed with He Bo that he would practice red boxing in the backyard every night in the future. He Bo also said that although he didn't understand the routines of the Wang family's gun, most of the martial arts in the world had the same goal. If Chu Tianya comes back after learning marksmanship, he can also practice it for him together, and it is always okay to dial it a little.

Chu Tianya secretly rejoiced in his heart. Although he still doesn't know where Uncle He is sacred, the only thing he can be sure of is that Uncle He genuinely and unreservedly cares about himself.

Now Chu Tianya is unaccompanied, but he feels a trace of family affection from Uncle He's body, which makes him feel precious.

The next day, Chu Tianya responded to Wang Xun's appointment and came to the Yamen of the Dutong Mansion at the time of Chen. After the order, Wang Xun took Chu Tianya and a team of sergeants to the south gate, saying that he was going to supervise the work.

"How is it the South Gate?" Chu Tianya was puzzled, "If the Jin people come to attack, the north gate will bear the brunt." Now that time is short, why not pick up the most important places to repair first? ”

Wang Xun's brows furrowed, and he seemed to be a little annoyed: "How can my father not know such a truth?" It's just that in the near future, there will be an envoy from the Kingdom of Jin coming. Master Tong was worried that the envoys of the Jin Kingdom would misunderstand when they saw us repairing the north gate, so he ordered us to repair the south gate and not to wander around the north gate. ”

"How unreasonable!" Chu Tianya said angrily, "We have to look at the faces of the Jurchens when we repair our own cities?" Could it be that one day, we will tear down the city gate to please the Jin Kingdom, just to facilitate them to attack Taiyuan in the future? ”

"Be quiet!" Wang Xun pulled Chu Tianya, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Among the sergeants who followed behind him, not all of them were my father's henchmen, but there were also people from Master Tong. ”

"Tong Guan tried his best to please the people of Jinguo, so he almost knelt down and licked the soles of his feet for others, which is really hateful!" Chu Tianya breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "As the marshal of the town, the more he is so affectionate and timid, the more the people of the Jin Kingdom dare to go south. At that time, as soon as the Jin people came, Tong Guan ran away, leaving behind the people of the city and the ruined city - Brother Wang, we can't be at his mercy! ”

"So what do you say?" Wang Xun's brows furrowed deeply, "Now he is still the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei left and right, and he holds the military and political power. He said one, who would dare to say two? Even my father didn't dare to contradict him, so he said that he was someone else! ――Isn't Ma Kuo a role model? He will lead the army to conquer the Xishan Colonies today. If you weren't secretly maneuvering, wouldn't it be a dead end? ”

Chu Tianya hated it so much, and he wanted to test Wang Xun's courage again, so he whispered: "It seems that Tong Guan is immortal, and the national disaster is endless!" ”

Wang Xun's footsteps stopped suddenly, his eyebrows twisted, his face was extremely cold, he stared at Chu Tianya, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Hugh is nonsense!" ”

With that, he glanced at the group of soldiers who followed not far behind him.

Chu Tianya nodded knowingly, but he was secretly surprised in his heart: Very good! Looking at Wang Xun's expression, he was also extremely dissatisfied with Tong Guan in his heart, and he was full of courage!

"Don't say more, let's go!" Wang Xun threw down this sentence and quickened his pace.

Chu Tianya didn't say anything more and strode to keep up.

Not long after, the group came to the gate of the southern city. There are indeed thousands of military service soldiers here, hurrying to repair the city wall. Many mule carts and stones were being transported from the south across the river, and it was a busy and busy scene.

Wang Xun took Chu Tianya to the city gate, pointed to the south, and said, "Does Brother Chu know what kind of place it is?" ”

Chu Tianya looked at it, and saw a hazy scene in the distance, as if there were low hills undulating, and he couldn't really see it. So he shook his head, "Little brother doesn't know." ”

"There, is the old site of Taiyuan - the ancient city of Jinyang. And from there all this stone was dismantled and transported. Wang Xun sighed softly, "If Jinyang is still there, how dare the Jurchens go south lightly and knock on the border?" ”

"Isn't Jinyang the old name of Taiyuan? The ancient capital of Jinyang...... I remember! Chu Tianya said, "Back then, Jinyang was the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, the last separatist force of the Five Dynasties. After I pacified the south with Taizu, I attacked Jinyang twice, but they all returned in vain. Later, Emperor Taizong, who succeeded to the throne, drove his own expedition, and after a bloody battle and a huge cost, he finally defeated Jin Yang and destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty. After that, Taizong ordered a fire to burn Jinyang, an ancient city that had been in the east of the Tiger River for more than a thousand years; Later, it attracted Fenshui and Jin Temple water, flooding the city. ”

"Yes! …… It's a pity that Jinyang, a long-standing ancient city and a place where soldiers must fight, has since turned into a scorched ruin! Wang Xun sighed regretfully, "Brother Chu, look at the current Taiyuan City, which is a small city built on the site of another city after Jinyang was destroyed. Not only is the scale far inferior to the ancient Jinyang, but even the city wall is an earthen wall without bricks. Once there is a war...... The defense is worrisome! ”

"Since Taizong destroyed the ancient capital of Jinyang, but rebuilt Taiyuan City, he really lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot." Chu Tianya sneered and said, "Taiyuan has been the foundation of Hedong since ancient times, known as 'pulling the back of the world and strangling it', and the importance of the geographical location is clear at a glance. Especially in the current boundary situation of our dynasty, Yanyun is all in the hands of the enemy, the Great Wall has been lost and there are no mountains and rivers, it can be said that there is no barrier at all. If Hu Di Tie rode south in the north, Taiyuan would be the first line of defense to bear the brunt, providing strategic depth and fighting for respite for Guanzhong and Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo. It's good now, Taiyuan is just a ruined earthen city, and the marshal defending the city is still ready to escape with his troops at any time. If Taiyuan is lost, the Jurchen soldiers and horses can drive straight into the Central Plains...... Isn't this the death of my Great Song? ”

Wang Xun's eyebrows were tightly furrowed and he was silent, looking at the old Jinyang site in the distance, his left hand tightly holding the handle of the saber, and his finger joints were rattling.

"I'm waiting for a martial man, when the national crisis is at hand, I will defend my family and defend the country and serve the frontier, and the horse leather shroud will be returned." Chu Tianya continued, "But even if you die, you have to die worthwhile. If you just send you to death for the sake of fulfilling your own honor, you will still not be able to protect the city and the people in the end, and it is actually a kind of incompetence and failure! ”

Chu Tianya's last sentence obviously stabbed Wang Xun in the sore spot. His face changed suddenly, and he turned his head to stare at Chu Tianya and said, "Brother Chu's words are really to the point!" - That's right, I'm not afraid of death! If the golden people come, but they have this blood and a head to serve the country! But what I'm worried about is that even if I fight to the death at the cost of my life, I still won't be able to save the city and the people. What's the use of leaving only the name of a martyr at that time? ”

"Therefore, we can't just think of fighting with the Jurchens with the courage of flesh and blood, just hoping to die a vigorous death, but we miss the real big thing." Chu Tianya said in a low voice, "In extraordinary times, where can you still detain yourself in ordinary laws and doctrines? If a man is a husband, he must dare to risk the disapproval of the world! ――If it is not against the sky, there is no way to change your life! ”

"If you don't go against the sky, you can't change your life? ......" Wang Xun gasped, stared at Chu Tianya in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chu, what do you want to do?" ”

"I'm going to kill Tong Guan and take away his military power!"

"You're crazy!" Wang Xun almost screamed, and his face changed even more.

"Brother Wang also said just now that if the Jurchens come, it will be nothing more than a blood and a head to serve the country. If you are not even afraid of death, why are you afraid of killing? Chu Tianya's face was silent, and he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "What's more, Tong Guan is just a traitor to the country, and now he is betraying the country to seek glory, and he will soon fall into a desperate situation in Taiyuan, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians will die because of him - how can such a traitor not be killed?!" ”

"Anyway! …… In short, this thing can't be done! Wang Yu inhaled again and again, "Brother Chu, my father is right, you are really knowledgeable and bold, and you are not bound by the law at all!" How to say, Tong Guan is also the marshal of Shangguan, killing him is a crime, it is a heinous crime, and it is not tolerated by reason and the world! …… Moreover, Tong Guan has always treated my Wang family father and son well, although he is not kind, we can't be unjust! This is a must-have! ”

"Brother Wang's words are really ridiculous!" Chu Tianya sneered.

"What's ridiculous?" Wang Xun was still a little annoyed, "A man's husband, is it wrong to repay righteousness and observance of festivals?" ”

"Not only is it ridiculous, it's also very naïve and shameful." Chu Tianya said unceremoniously, "It is true that Tong Guan treats you well, but your father and son know that he is betraying the country to seek glory, and he will lead his troops to escape to Taiyuan at any time and sit back and ignore it. If he does not know, he is not guilty; But you know it but still let it go, what's the difference between this and Tong Guan's accomplice? Originally, your father and son were willing to die rather than spoil the personal friendship with Tong Guan, which was your private affair and others couldn't control it. It is an ordinary situation, and this righteousness is indeed admirable. However, just for the sake of your selfish righteousness, you will undermine the general righteousness of the country and the nation, and let the entire city and hundreds of thousands of people, and even more people of Li Shu in the Central Plains, be martyred for your selfish feelings and selfishness -- Brother Wang, isn't it both naïve and shameful to take care of small righteousness and lose great righteousness? ”

"You ......" Wang Xun was dumbfounded by Chu Tianya's words, and smiled helplessly, "You are really talkative, I can't talk about you!" In short, I will never be disadvantageous to Master Tong, and I will not be able to do this. Don't tell my father about this, for he is a hundred times more stubborn than I am. If he is provoked, it is not impossible to take you to justice! ”

"Of course I know." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "Lingzun is the king of the capital, and he attaches great importance to affection. Let him kill the handsome, it is better to let him kill himself. But right now, except for killing Tong Guan, it seems that there is no other way to leave those tens of thousands of victorious troops - Brother Wang, what do you say? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Wang Xun laughed as if he was crying, and begged bitterly, "Please, Brother Chu, don't scare me with such words, okay?" You are really not shocking and endless, and you are too bold! ”

"Hey......" Chu Tianya sighed and shook his head regretfully, "I originally thought that Wang Dutong's father and son could be relied on, but it turns out that you are also guarding your selfish favor and foolish loyalty, and you have nothing to do!" …… Could it be that you really want me, a nobody, to do something earth-shattering? ”

"Brother Chu, don't mess around!" Wang Xun was completely frightened, "If you dare to attack Master Tong, my father will not let you go!" ”

"Just talk, don't take it seriously!" Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Brother Wang, as a hot-blooded man, is so intimidating? ”

"It's better not to make jokes like that. I don't think I heard this today, and I won't tell my father. But you don't have to talk about it again! Wang Xun wiped the cold sweat again and again, "Don't say it." You and I should go our separate ways and oversee the construction of the city! ”

"Okay!" Chu Tianya smiled lightly, but said in his heart: This is the difference between generations and thinking for thousands of years. It seems that I will not be able to reverse the deep-rooted ideas in the minds of the Wang family father and son in a short period of time; It doesn't seem realistic to just rely on rhetoric to persuade them to do what I think. Fortunately, I didn't look at the left eye, Wang Xun is really bold and righteous, he can take the initiative to guarantee that he will not betray me after listening to me say so many taboo words, it is not easy. If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to bring up today's topic lightly...... However, there is one person who must be very interested in the matter of "killing children"!
