Tianluojing Mountain, the morning dawn is dewed, and the old and the young climb up the mountain along the path. Sun Chengzong had a lot of strength, grabbed a corner of the rock, let out a low sigh, and climbed up. Yang Fan followed behind Sun Chengzong, but he didn't expect this old man to be so good, so he praised: "Sun Lao is really old and strong, and this body is comparable to that of a young man." ”

"That's what you said." Sun Chengzong smiled, and couldn't help but think of the one who had climbed the mountain with him before, so he said, "From you, I saw the shadow of a person. You, like the elements, are daring people. ”

Yang Fan knew who Sun Chengzong was talking about again, so he pushed aside the bushes with morning dew and grabbed one hand on a stone, "Elder Sun said this, but he was tormented. I'm just a little bit of a fight, and I don't have any real skills. How dare you compare it with General Yuan. ”

"The character of the elements, I know. He did everything, and I know it very well as a teacher. He was stunned, and I was standing on the edge of the noon gate, watching the pieces of flesh being cut off. The people vied with each other to eat his flesh. Sun Chengzong's face was a little moved, and his tone was a little heavier. Suddenly, my foot slipped, and my leg rubbed against the gravel.

Yang Fan's hand quickly pressed against the sole of Sun Chengzong's shoe and sent his body up.

The sunlight pierced through the mist in the mountains, some of which were warm and glowing. The dead leaves on the ground have also lost their crispness after a night of dew, and stepping on them is like stepping on a soft carpet. "I'm old, and I almost fell down when I climbed a mountain." Sun Chengzong dusted off the dead leaves and soil of his clothes, and laughed at himself.

"Where did you just go? Yes, say you're like him. True temperament is good, but this tightrope walk is never as stable as the big road, you say? Sun Chengzong looked at Yang Fan.

"Naturally, the roads are all walked by others, and they are naturally stable." Yang Fan nodded.

Sun Chengzong sat on a stone, took off his shoes, poured out the sand and gravel that had just slipped into his shoes, and said, "I could have avoided telling you these words. But you are a smart person, you should know where to show your true temperament and where to restrain yourself. ”

"Understood." Yang Fan nodded slightly.

"No, you don't understand. In my opinion, everything you do is emotional. What you've been doing in the past few months, you know, if you take the wrong step, no one will approve of you. Such a thankless thing is only a fool like you to go back and do. Sun Chengzong put on his shoes, "But then again, these two great victories made me see that you have the qualifications of being handsome, otherwise I wouldn't have said this to you." ”

Sun Chengzong's every word was to give a stick and then a sweet date, which made Yang Fan a little depressed, and said: "I understand what Sun Lao said, but it is also a helpless move. In April, when I knew that 50,000 gold soldiers were going to besiege the city, I came up with this plan, but I only dared to say it to Zu Dashou. Before this matter started, he didn't even know where Jin Bing was, if he was a superior, who would dare to believe it? ”

"Can you really be a prophet?" Sun Chengzong was startled, and the hand stroking his beard trembled.

Yang Fan smiled, shook his head and said, "That day, the family teacher entrusted me with my dream, and I only knew the heavenly opportunity." If you are not proficient in your studies, how can you dare to speak of unpredictable prophets? "Joke, if you want to let you know that Lao Tzu can predict the prophet, then the little emperor Chongzhen directly asked Lao Tzu if Daming is going to die, what does Lao Tzu say? Say it's gone in more than ten years? Or are you going to hang yourself on a coal mountain in a dozen years? I had to use the name of this fortune operator to continue to make it up. Alas, he gave me a dream, Lao Tzu doesn't know anything else, don't come to ask me.

"What you did before was really beautiful, the old man dared to say that, just with the battle of the Daling River under your command, as well as the battle of the Thirteen Stations, it is not too much to mix up the general army. But the next bastard thing you do is not bullshit. When a person makes a big mistake, no matter how well you do in front of you, it is useless. Now there is no one else, you tell the truth to the old man, why did you let go of these 4,000 gold soldiers? Sun Chengzong knew that since Yang Fan was able to kill the 3,000 army of Mang Gurtai and present the head of Mang Gurtai, such an act would definitely not be a treason for collaborating with the enemy.

"Elder Sun, I've said it below. It's not about putting people, it's about exchanging people for food. If these 4,000 gold soldiers were to be detained, not only would the 7,000 brothers under his command have nothing to eat, but there would also be 4,000 more mouths. Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, the grain and grass collected in the previous months have been exhausted in these days, and the people of the Ming Dynasty can no longer take out the surplus grain. You still have to ask for food, you want food, don't you know that this is asking for their lives? ”

"You can kill it, and it's better than letting it go. Now, nine of the ten officials in the DPRK and China say that you collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, and you were sent by Jiannu. ”

"And another?"

"There is also one who says that you disturbed the discipline and took charge of the army privately, and wanted to suppress you." Sun Chengzong sneered, "These officials, what do you say they are good about? At the beginning, the eunuchs were chaotic, and they were not afraid of rape, and they were desperate to admonish, but now they have become old peasant ladies, and they don't let go of anything, and they have to say that they are ugly. ”

Yang Fan smiled and said, "These people are too exalted to Yang." But then again, in the next thirteen post victory, even if you kill 3,000 enemies, it is still a great victory, let it go or not, what do they do? ”

"What are they doing? You're right. They even have to care about how many wives you have married, and you say that you are smuggling 4,000 gold soldiers, and they don't care? Sun Chengzong patted Yang Fan on the shoulder, "The old man knows that you changed grain and grass because you didn't want to make the people's taxes and servitude worse, but what can you change?" Do you think that this mere tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass can save those poor people? You don't need food and grass, and the soldiers of the Guanningjin defense line don't need it? You, like the elements, position yourself too high, too big. ”

Sun Chengzong stood up, looked at the rising sun in the east, and said: "Think of yourself as high, you are tired of living, and it is easy to cause death, why bother?" When the elements boasted of Haikou, and when they returned to Liao in five years, the old man warned him not to live so tired. He did not listen to persuasion and went further and further down the wrong path. ”

"So what to do?"

"Look at yourself, don't take yourself so seriously. Daming can still survive without you. Only by looking at yourself can your horizons be enlarged. You can have room for others in your eyes. Sun Chengzong said with a smile, "Just like this rising sun, it can't be said to be blazing, it must shine into every corner and corner, and no darkness is allowed to exist anywhere." You don't have that much ability, and others don't allow you to have such great ability. ”

Yang Fan's eyes lit up, these days he has been puzzled, why he is only satisfied with these thirteen peaks, forgetting the original sense of mission. was so little by Sun Chengzong that he knew that his original self was too tired to live. I thought that when I traveled to this era, I would have to do something that went through the world, and such a burden was really too heavy.

He made a junior salute and said, "Elder Sun has taught me very much, and I have been taught below." This time I entered Beijing, I still wanted to show my ambitions, but now I will give up. ”

"Huh? That's not what the old man meant. The old man means to say, young man, be modest, don't kick your nose in the face......" As soon as Sun Chengzong heard Yang Fan's words, he immediately felt that this person was not good...... Angry: "Then what do you want to do?" ”

"Do business."

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment and said, "Who are you doing business with?" What kind of business do you do? ”

"Do business with the Holy One. For example...... Take the rebuilding of the Great Wall that you just said, the cost of cement...... If it is really repaired, it is estimated that it will cost several million taels......" Yang Fan pondered these things. He figured it out, he couldn't dominate this government, and it was impossible for everyone to eat hot white rice, so let's make his seven thousand people rich first.

"Alas...... Yang Fan, come back to me. The old man didn't say it just now, so I'll say it again...... Things are not as ...... as you think"
