Chapter 3: The Strange Heart

readx;

Du He saw that Ashina Sheer's face was a little unnatural, and felt strange in his heart, this cousin has something important to discuss, no matter how he says it, should he show such an expression!

"Don't they have a good relationship? No, if the relationship is really bad, Ashina Sheer's expression should be anger, reluctance or disgust, but there are no these three emotions on his face, some are embarrassed and helpless...... Hey, it's their family business, why do you care so much? He suddenly laughed to himself, and didn't think much of it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After waiting for a while, Du He suddenly had some urgency, walked out of the tent, and asked the guards at the door where the toilet was.

When camping in the wilderness, hygiene is important. This is especially true in camps with more than 10,000 people. It is only because filth is easy to attract mosquitoes and flies, and the places where mosquitoes and flies gather are the most susceptible to the plague. If the feces and urine of 10,000 people every day are not cleaned up, it will cause a terrible situation for a long time.

The first thing to do is to build barracks, and the second thing is to set up toilets.

The guard smiled and showed Du He a clear way.

Du He discharged the accumulation in his bladder, and returned comfortably to the original road, which was not a few steps, and faintly heard the sound of others arguing in his ears, and said in his heart: "The military camp is heavy, who dares to make noise in the camp!" Curious, he walked towards the place where the voice came from.

"You are all right, General Zuo Xiaowei, the concubine of the eldest princess of Nanyang, holds the military power of tens of thousands of troops, and is the favorite general of the Tang Emperor! And what about me, our team? I'm your brother, but I'm just a general. Is it so difficult for you to give me a certain position? Dissatisfaction, anger, and a voice of ridicule and ridicule came into Duho's ears.

"Membership rate, you listen to me. The Tang Dynasty was not our Turk, and identity and status here were inseparable from merit. If you want to achieve status, it is not by relationships, but by merit. Back then, I advised you to go with me to Gaochang and give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but you didn't want to. It's not that I don't want to help you, I really can't. This time it was Ashinasheer's voice, and he was not angry because of the other party's tone, but just said it earnestly.

Du He smiled suddenly, and understood Ashina Sheer's expression at that time, because it was the one who was dissatisfied with his current status and wanted to climb the big tree of Ashina Sheer and seek a good position, which was human nature.

It's just that in the politically clear Tang Dynasty, the favor card does not work, if you want to succeed, the key is to need your own ability, even as the prime minister's son, he also climbed up from the young general who led 500 soldiers, which is still Li Shimin's extra kindness. The position of Zhonglang General of the association rate is not low, and if he wants to be promoted, he does not have a certain meritorious service, and no one can help him by relying on his connections.

Ashina Sheer is a person who understands and speaks clearly, but it is called the association rate that seems to be unappreciative and has an extremely bad attitude, as if it is not him who asks for help, but Ashina Sheer.

Du He is not worth it for Ashina Sheer, such an unreasonable cousin, but this is also their family matter, and it is really difficult to interfere as an outsider.

I was about to leave, when I suddenly heard the association say: "At that time, I was wrong, I didn't think about it, and I was always unwilling to work for the Tang Emperor in my heart, but now I have figured it out, only by serving the Tang Emperor can I get ahead, you just let me have a position in your army, I don't care about the size of it, as long as I can go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, with my strength, meritorious service is nothing at all!" ”

Du He suddenly stopped, suspicious in his heart, and said secretly: "It's strange, the association rate is obviously because he is dissatisfied with the low official position, and hopes that General Ashina will find him a position, but then he said that he doesn't care about the size of the position, isn't this a contradiction." What exactly is this association rate trying to do? Curiosity drove him to keep listening.

"I'm glad you can think so, but now there is no war, and arranging for you to join the barracks, above the generals, is unconvincing. In this way, when there is a war, I will recommend you to the imperial court and arrange for you to join the army. I know that you are brave and good at fighting, and you are my first Turkic marksman, and you are still very fast when you rise to the top by virtue of your merits. ”

Du He heard it, and the tone of Ashina Sheer was also full of surprise, thinking that it was not that he didn't care about the one called the association rate, but that he didn't appreciate it in the past, and he didn't compromise until today.

"How long will that take?" The association rate rushed again, "With the current momentum of Datang, who dares to be an enemy with it, ten years, twenty years, I can't even pull a bow when the time comes, so what's the use of joining the army?" In this way, Duer, you can arrange for me to join the army, I think this field hunting conference is a good opportunity, with my reputation as the first archer of the Turks, I will definitely be able to win the other eyes of the Tang Emperor, why worry about not having a chance to be promoted at that time. ”

"This ......" Ashina Sheer was speechless in embarrassment, if in the past, it was not a problem to recommend the association rate to join the army, but now that the field hunting conference is about to begin, it is the time when there is no room for error, and it is a little inappropriate to let the association rate join the army at this time.

The association said: "Okay, I finally understand, you have a thousand pushes, ten thousand refusals, you just don't want me to achieve a career, you are afraid that I will surpass you and climb on your head, yes or no!" ”

Ashina Sheer has a very good temper and is humble, but let the association rate even turn over and ridicule, and he can't help but be angry in his heart.

Strictly speaking, the association rate is not the cousin of Ashina Sheer, the full name is Ashina Association Rate, and he is the younger brother of Ashina Sheer's brother Tuli. In his early years in the Turks, Ashina Sheer had a very good relationship with the Turks. Tuli was the son of Shibi Khan, and after the death of Shibi Khan, Tuli, who inherited his father's will, let Ashina Sheer's father and father "grab" Tuli's throne, even so, it did not create an unbridgeable gap between their two brothers. It can be seen that the friendship between them can no longer be measured by anything.

In the later period of Wude, in the process of jointly rebelling against his uncle Jieli Great Khan, these two people were life and death confidants who stood on the same front, until finally Tuli decided to enter the Tang Dynasty and Sheer led the troops westward, and the two parted ways...... Since then, yin and yang have been separated forever.

Ashina Sheer returned to the Tang Dynasty, and after getting Li Shimin's respect, he treated Tuli's younger brother as his own brother and took care of him in every way. Although in terms of age, the association rate of Ashina is a little larger than that of Ashina Sheer.

Ashina Sheer said: "Okay, don't talk about it, let me think about this matter, and I'll give you an answer in two days!" ”

The sound of feet sounded, and the distant voice of Ashina Sheer came into his ears, and Du He was about to leave again, but he heard two faint words in his ears: "Traitor!" ”

The words came out of the mouth of Ashina's association, and his voice was very small, and if it weren't for Du Hoer's strength being different from ordinary people, he would never have heard it. He could tell that when Ashina said this, his tone was full of contempt, disdain, and anger, which was a kind of contempt for the other.

The sound of Ashina's association also reaching Du He's ears, but he didn't move, just waited quietly, sorting out the news and information in his mind.

Ashina Sheer once said that in the battle of the Tang Dynasty against Gaochang, he was persuaded to join the army and establish meritorious deeds together for the sake of Ashina's association rate, but was rejected by Ashina association. The reason is unknown, but later Ashina said that it was because he was unwilling to serve the Tang Dynasty, so he rejected Ashina Sheer's kindness.

This means that Ashina has a strong anti-Tang sentiment in his heart, and it is speculated that his last sentence of "traitor" actually refers to Ashina's heart already thinking about the Tang Dynasty and betraying the Turks.

However, Ashina persuaded Ashina Sheer to join his army, saying that he had seen it. All of this was obviously contradictory, and if he really saw it, there would be no last traitor. Since he didn't look away, in other words, he wanted to join Ashina Sheer's Zuo Xiao Guards had other plans, he didn't want to show himself at the field hunting conference and attract Li Shimin's attention.

So what was his intention?

A sneer appeared on Du He's face, and he said in his heart: "Since you have a heart, then I'll help you and see what the hell you're doing!" ”

Thinking about it, he moved his steps back to the military tent.

Ashina Sheer was already waiting in the tent, his eyebrows were slightly worried, obviously worried about Ashina's association rate.

Du He stepped forward and said with a smile: "People have three urgies, and they are in the opposite direction to make the general wait." ”

Ashina Sheer forced a smile and said, "It's okay! ”

Du He sat down on his seat and asked, "The general is worried about the person who is called the association rate?" ”

Ashina Sheer was secretly shocked in his heart, and looked at Du He in surprise.

Du He apologized: "This is my fault, when I came back, I heard a quarrel in the barracks, and I felt strange for a while, so I stepped forward to investigate." I overheard the quarrel between the general and the association rate.,It's not intentional to eavesdrop.,I hope forgive me for taking the liberty of it.。 ”

Ashina Sheer was stunned, but he was frank, and it was not something worth concealing, and he didn't care about it.

Du He said: "General, please forgive me, your rejection of the association rate should be to avoid suspicion!" In fact, there is no need to be like this, there is a practice in this dynasty since ancient times, for the general, if you find that there are materials that can be made, you have the right to recommend talents for the country. There is an old saying in my Huaxia that 'a gentleman is frank, and a villain is often a relative', and a person with a clear conscience should not avoid suspicion if he recommends talents for the country. deliberately avoiding suspicion, but it seems hypocritical and contrived. As long as the association rate is really talented, it can establish meritorious service for my Datang and add a good general, why not? ”

Ashina Sheer was silent for a moment and said, "What General Du said is reasonable, it is indeed my mistake. Although the association rate is a little impulsive, it has the courage of a wolf, but it can establish meritorious service for my Datang. The sadness on his face was gone, replaced by a reassuring smile.

Du He also smiled thoughtfully, it was certain that Ashina was planning something, rather than letting him make small moves in the dark alone, it was better to let him take a step forward so that he could find out his purpose!
