Mai Tiezhu snorted heavily: "What a big breath, military affairs, what do you hairy boys know, practice martial arts and strengthen your body well, and then talk about the battlefield when foreign enemies invade in the future, the holy car is outside the city recently, and the saint strictly ordered, no trouble is allowed in Daxing City during this time, you had better restrain yourself during this time, and don't cause any unnecessary trouble to your father, understand?" ”

A hint of excitement flashed in Shen Guang's eyes: "Really? Is the holy car really outside the city? ”

Mai Tiezhu said coldly: "If it weren't for the Holy Driver coming to Daxing, how could I lead troops to patrol the city? Okay, mind yourselves, and don't say I didn't warn you when something happens. When he said this, his eyes glared at Mai Mengcai fiercely, "You can go home for me now, stay in the room and don't come out, and when I go back at night, I have something to say to you!" ”

After Mai Tiezhu finished speaking, he arched his hand to Wang Shichong: "It's full, military affairs are on your body, after you get off duty, tomorrow night our brothers will drink in your tent, how about it?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Waiting for the big ride!" ”

Mai Tiezhu led the group of soldiers to the other direction of the market, Wang Shichong glanced at Mai Tiecane's back, and arched his hand at Shen Guangyi: "Brother Shen, young hero, Wang is really admired, I don't know if I am willing to appreciate my face, and talk to Wang?" ”

Shen Guang looked Wang Shichong up and down: "This official, Shen has never known you in your life, I only know that you are an official of the DPRK and China, and you haven't had time to ask for the name of Gao." ”

Wang Shichong knew that he was commensurate with the words of the wheat iron rod just now. This Shen Guang was afraid that most of them didn't know his identity, and said with a smile: "My surname is Wang, and my name is full of world." The words are full, Jingzhao Xinfeng people, the current waiter of the Criminal Department and the inspector of Dali Shaoqing. I was also an official of the same dynasty as your father, and I met several times. ”

Shen Guang gasped and said in a lost voice: "You are Wang Shichong, the richest man in the world?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and nodded: "I used to make some money in business, but I really don't dare to be the richest man." ”

Mai Mengcai had a look of admiration on his face: "Big brother." Wang Shilang is a standard military general, and he used to be with my Ah Da. Killed in the sea of corpses and blood, it can be described as a wise and unparalleled strategist, I have never admired a few people in my life, but Wang Shilang is full of praise from him. ”

Qian Jie also said: "Yes." Big brother, do you know, back then, my Ah Da also followed Wang Shilang to Yunnan to quell the rebellion, and most of Marshal Shi's plots came from Wang Shilang's plan. ”

Wang Shichong knew that Mai Mengcai and Qian Jie's father was a military general, and he had fought side by side with him, in their eyes, he was a military general, and Shen Guang's father had never been on the battlefield in his life. It was Shen Guang who didn't know much about his status in the military world, so he smiled and waved his hand: "It's all old accounts, what's the use of mentioning it?" Ah. Looking at you young heroes, thinking about 20 years ago, I was about the same age as you, and I also served the country in the army like you, conquered Nanchen, and since then I have taken a military career. It's really emotional to think about. ”

A trace of excitement flashed in Shen Guang's eyes: "General Wang, our brothers also have the intention of joining the army to serve the country." I don't know if you, as a senior, can you give some advice? ”

Wang Shichong wanted Shen Guang's words, he laughed, stepped forward and grabbed Shen Guang's hand: "I can't ask for it, I can meet a young man like you today, Wang really wants to have a good chat." The wine in the front of the drunken fairy building is good, young man, let's go together! ”

Mai Mengcai's face showed a sad look: "This, I Ah Da just said." ”

Shen Guang smiled and patted Mai Mengcai's shoulder: "Okay, you kid go back and prepare to take the board, you can also practice the ability to resist attacks, don't get involved this time, I will look for you if there is an emergency!" ”

After the small half-pillar incense, the second floor of the drunken immortal restaurant in front of the two streets, has been completely covered by Wang Shichong The entire floor, this is the most lively dinner time, empty, not even a little two, upstairs in the middle of a table of eight immortals, but there are five people sitting, Wang Shichong's master and servant three plus Qian Jie and Shen Guang, there is a table full of dishes in front of them, mostly a whole plate of sauced beef, roasted whole sheep and other meat dishes, and seven or eight jars have opened the sealed Liulin wine, placed under the table, the whole floor is filled with a rich aroma of wine.

Shen Guang smiled slightly: "General Wang, you are now a high-ranking official at the level of a squire, a minister of the DPRK and the Central Government, and the richest man in the world. ”

Shan Xiongxin on the side laughed: "Our lord is not an ordinary civil official, he is an invincible opponent in the world, and when his old man became famous on the battlefield, the two of you were just born." ”

A trace of excitement flashed in Qian Jie's eyes: "General Wang, can you tell us about the things on the battlefield?" We dream about going to the battlefield all day long, but what is the battlefield like, have we really never seen it? ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "The battlefield is not a good place, it is terrible, there are broken limbs and stumps everywhere, in addition to shouting and killing, what you hear in your ears is more about the rolling and wailing of the wounded and dying on the ground, if you really go, I am afraid that you will not be so interested." ”

Shen Guang shook his head: "No, a real man, he will not be intimidated by this, in Shen's opinion, the screams and sorrows of the enemy are the most beautiful and beautiful music for soldiers, and the sound of gold and iron intersecting, and the sound of horses neighing and roaring are the best melodies in the world." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Then it seems that Brother Shen was born for the battlefield, come, I will give Brother Shen a cup!" As he spoke, he drank down the bowl of wine in front of him.

Shen Guang hurriedly stood up: "Kid, how can you let General Wang toast!" I really don't dare to be. We are rough people, and we can't have too much etiquette, so we have to return the three bowls to show the boy's fear! ”

As he spoke, he swallowed the wine in front of him as soon as he raised his head, then filled it again, and took a sip again, so that he drank three bowls in a row, and nearly a pound of liquor went down to his stomach, and his face was not red at all, which showed that this kid usually drank a lot of wine like drinking water.

Wang Shi nodded meaningfully: "Sure enough, it's a young hero." Brother Shen, please sit down, at this table today. You don't have to stick to any official position, wouldn't it be better if you call me a senior, and I call you a brother? ! ”

Shen Guang smiled: "That kid is disrespectful, Senior Wang, how did you join the army back then?" ”

Wang Shichong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the past was vivid. He said slowly: "Actually, I joined the army to serve the country back then, and it was a last resort." Because at that time, a high-ranking general took a fancy to our family's business and wanted to forcibly seize my family's property, and we three brothers. In order to keep the family property, I thought of making meritorious contributions in the army, fighting for an official position, and not being bullied, but as a result, Nanchen fought a battle, and my eldest brother died on the battlefield in order to save me. I thought of the three of my brothers who joined the army together, and I felt emotional. ”

Wang Shichong also rarely felt relieved today, so he simply borrowed the strength of wine. The bamboo tube poured beans like beans, and since he joined the army, he has conquered Nanchen, Pingjiangnan, Dinglingnan, and Nanzhong. Attacking the Turks, this series of thrilling battles is all told. Of course, all matters involving state secrets and court intrigue are omitted, and only the battle array is said, but Rao is so, and the other four people can't take their eyes off and marvel, don't say that Shen Guang and Qian Xing have never been on the battlefield, even Shan Xiongxin and Liu Heimin have not experienced these battles with him, and before they know it, two or three hours have passed, and the sky is already dark.

After Wang Shichong finished speaking, he took a sip of wine and sighed: "The experience of the past ten years of conquest has been lingering in my mind, and now I often see the faces of my comrades who died in battle in my dreams, especially my eldest brother, although since the counterattack against the Turks, I have never been on the battlefield except after the army quelled Yang Liangzhi's rebellion, but when I think of these past events, I am very strong, alas, now I have reached middle age, and my skills have decreased a lot compared with when I was young, especially Brother Shen, you are born to be a fierce general who charges into battle, once you have the opportunity to join the army, you will definitely be able to establish immortal achievements. ”

A hint of excitement flashed in Shen Guang's eyes: "Really? Senior Wang, our brothers do intend to serve the country in the army, but now we have not reached the age of entering Zuo Yiwei or Zuo Xunwei, and besides, my Ah Da was also dismissed because of his affairs, so I may not have the opportunity to serve the country in the army again. Speaking of this, a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Qian Jie hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, big brother, the prestige of the eldest brother has spread all over Daxing, and when the time comes, after our brothers join the army, we will jointly recommend the eldest brother to the emperor, and nothing will make talents like the eldest brother have no chance to serve the country." ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Very good, you have a strong brotherhood, and you will definitely be able to join forces to do something in the future, but now that the Supreme has conquered Tuyuhun, he has not yet recruited a large number of strong men from all over the world to gather the children of the Guanlong family, so you are only afraid that there is no place for you now." ”

Shen Guang gritted his teeth, took a sip of wine, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Wang, can you let our brothers follow you to the battlefield this time, you are a famous general, you should be able to plead with the Supreme and take a few of us." ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "Brother Shen, although I also hope that this time I can recruit you into the army and give you a chance to make contributions, but this time is different from the past, if it was four years ago, I would definitely let you go with me, because at that time I have the right to open the government, I can recruit my own troops, and after having military merits, I can also get the rewards stipulated by the imperial court." ”

"But since Yang Liang's rebellion four years ago, in the Supreme New Deal, all the military attaches from Shangzhu State have been turned into honored officers, except for the honorary official position of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, the military generals are no longer allowed to have their own private soldiers, and my two brothers are to serve as my guards this time as the bodyguards of the merchant group, so I don't have the right to call you into the army now, I'm sorry."

A trace of disappointment flashed on Shen Guang's face, but he still said unwillingly: "Senior Wang, when you defected to the king to award Wang Sima, he was not a military position, nor did he have the authority to open a mansion, but he can also take hundreds of you to enlist in the army, can you also think of a way this time?" ”

Liu Heimin smiled and said: "Brother Shen, don't you know, the last time my lord was because he caught up with the major event of the pacification of Nanchen, the emperor was recruiting troops nationwide at that time, and he did not restrict the people from carrying weapons and strong men to join the army, so my lord of my family had that opportunity, but this time the Supreme conquered Tuyuhun, and did not mobilize the whole country like last time, but only mobilized the troops of the Eastern Capital, as well as the government soldiers in the Guanlong area along the road, the number was only 200,000, and even the children of the Guanlong family did not recruit the army. Therefore, I should not accept your move of joining the army on your own. ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Shen Guang's eyes, and the person suddenly collapsed on the stool like a deflated ball, and muttered, "Is it true that I don't have the opportunity to serve the country in the army?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Brother Shen, don't worry, there is no chance this time, but there will be opportunities in the future, didn't you also say that if the Supreme conquers Goguryeo in the future, you will go out to the army." ”

Shen Guang laughed: "I just said it casually, is this true?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and took a sip of wine, the strong spicy taste made his brain become extremely sober: "This is a military event, but you are all the children of Guanlong, and there are no outsiders here, I might as well tell you a thing or two, now Siyi is subjugated, Kyushu is stable, only Goguryeo in the northeast corner, has not yet served the king, the supreme admires the most is the Han Wu Emperor's expansion of territory, the feat of herding horses and Tianshan, the land of Goguryeo, is the place where the Han Wu Emperor conquered Wei Korea and placed the four counties of the Han Dynasty, Later, because of the war between the two Han Dynasty and let Goguryeo take the opportunity to stand on its own feet and fight for hegemony, now my Great Sui is strong, and it is not an impossible task to destroy Goguryeo, the reason why the war is unfavorable during the period of the first emperor is not because our army is not good, but that the land of Liaodong is far away, and the food and grass are not enough, no matter how good the soldiers, they can't go to war without food. ”

Shen Guang's eyes lit up: "So, the Grand Canal that the Supreme is digging now is just to solve the front-line military needs?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and nodded: "Brother Shen still knows about this, it's really not easy." Yes, the Supreme just wants to transport the grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River to Zhuo County, so that water transportation can solve such a heavy logistical burden. Therefore, as long as the Grand Canal is completed, the conquest of Goguryeo is close at hand. ”

Shen Guang said excitedly: "So, the opportunity to make a contribution is coming?" (To be continued)
