"You're here anyway, it looks like I didn't misread you." Qi Jingtong sat between the two formations as promised, just sitting alone, without guards, and the blade on his body was just a sword at his waist. Qi Jingtong only brought a pot of wine and a bag of meat, spread it on the ground, sat on the ground and looked at Xu Yang in front of him with a smile.

In Xu Yang's eyes, this smile contained too much meaning, and the mockery was overflowing, which made Xu Yang angry in his heart, but he sat down cross-legged with restraint. Qi Shuhai didn't bring any guards, and he accepted the agreement, except for the two exquisite fire guns with ivory handles on his waist and a waist knife, he didn't seem to have any other weapons. But the two of them invariably brought a bag of meat and a pot of wine.

Qi Jingtong smiled when he saw the things Xu Yang brought, and said: "I thought that the two of us would drink this pot of wine, but now it seems that there is no need for it, we can have a good drink, can we do one?" ”

"Let's go." Xu Yang picked up the wine bag and touched Qi Jingtong, both of them drank a few sips, and then pinched the meat and ate it. Xu Yang said: "Except for the two armies in front of the formation and looking at you from the telescope, the two of us haven't seen each other for almost three years." ”

"Yes, three years have passed, and it feels like a snap of a finger. But you can still look at me through the binoculars, our Ming army is poor, not as good as your Lu Jiajun, I was only equipped with a telescope at the beginning of last year, and I got it from you. Qi Jingtong said.

Xu Yang laughed and said: "You're bored, isn't it just the military assets and items that we captured when you successfully ambushed us in that war?" We are old friends and reminiscing. That's what you wrote in your letter, and now that you're ridiculing me, is there still a way to talk? ”

"Blame me, blame me. I punished myself with a drink. Qi Jingtong said that he poured himself a sip of wine.

Xu Yang said: "In the final analysis, it's normal for you to be complacent. I won the battle by relying on the strength of the soldiers and the strong firepower, and you really relied on your own ability to beat me. The first time I used human life as bait, so I was defeated and retreated, so I was too quick to chase the enemy and fell into your ambush array. At that time, I only sighed that I underestimated the enemy, and sighed that you Qi Jingtong was ruthless and shameless enough. He was willing to sacrifice the lives of his soldiers to be bait. But if you can turn against my lord, I think you should finally be clear in your heart, so you must be a tough guy who can't give up an inch of land. A righteous man who attaches great importance to national sovereignty. Unexpectedly, the second time, you gave up, still losing first and then winning, using the land as bait. It's been another big loss for me. It seems that you Qi Jingtong only have victory and defeat in his eyes. There is no morality, the benevolence of the monarch and the minister, and there is no need for any face, I have been confused by you twice, and finally underestimated the enemy, but suffered a big loss, it is just the same. Hey, I blame myself for not having a long memory. ”

"You can't say that, exchange the remnants for your elite soldiers, they eat the imperial food. The fate is no longer his own, but the court's. Qi Jingtong clasped his fists into the sky and arched his hands, and then said: "Exchange small for big." That's earned. That's right, it's true that you don't give up an inch of land, that's when there is no strategy and you can only fight to the death, but once you know that you will be able to regain the land by retreating first and then advancing, then what is there to be afraid of? Actually, as you said, these two times are the same thing, but the things that are discarded are different, but it seems that this time you have suffered more casualties and losses. In short, in the eyes of our soldiers, it is useless to ask for anything else, the victory or defeat is true, and everything else is false, as long as the ending can be won. ”

Xu Yang took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Praise you for being fat, you gasp?" Haha, Qi Jingtong, do you remember that after I suffered your big loss last time, I also let you suffer a big loss, which almost wiped you out. Then you chased and fled in a panic, and almost died in my hands a few times, right? ”

"That's true, but you didn't kill me. And if it weren't for Li Xiang that time, I'm afraid that you would have to continue to go back to the rescue and fall into a dilemma, there would be no follow-up, this was all caused by God's will, and I couldn't complain about others. Of course, you did a good job, you did enough to lead me into the urn, used the real and false stove to make me smart but was mistaken by the smart, and misled me with a dung pit, Qi admired and admired. This is war, the king is defeated and the king is defeated, and the general can only win at all, and there is no other excuse. But this time, I promise, you won't have time to make me suffer a big loss this time, I promise that you will be able to defeat you again, no matter how you prevent it, you can't avoid it. Unless you withdraw from the territory of the Ten Levels, so I want to meet you, I am afraid that you will die in the war, and I will not have the opportunity to see you in the future, after all, we are also old friends, and now we are our own masters, the way is different, and we can still be considered friends if we put down the war. When a person is about to die, it is also appropriate to see him. Qi Jingtong said.

Xu Yang waved his hand: "What big words, what kind of cowhide to brag." This time you are just using the power of weapons, by surprise, I have heard our air cavalry say, it is really difficult for you to build such a huge bow and crossbow, specifically to deal with our hot air balloon, it seems that the ancestors' methods are sometimes very effective, it can be regarded as a return to the basics, it is really difficult for your craftsmen. You said that in terms of victory and defeat, that's right, my loss this time is far better than you, but I'm afraid that it is not so easy for you to gnaw down Changling, the Lu family has not yet reached the point of breaking your muscles and bones, in general, you still lost a lot of territory, so I am not defeated. So don't talk too early, wait until you win all, or let someone die before you talk wildly. ”

"I don't have to compete with you, let's just wait and see." Qi Jingdao then asked: "To tell the truth, this time Da Ming has wasted a lot of effort in order to create these skills to restrain you, but fortunately, it has an effect, Qi Jingtong, I have not lived up to the grace of God." ”

"Can I ask a question?" Xu Yang said.

Qi Jingtong said: "I tried my best to answer. ”

"You made so many advanced weapons out of it?" Xu Yangdao.

Qi Jingtong said with a smile: "It's just that we use the enemy's strengths to govern the enemy, we just hit you by surprise, and the weapons are slightly different from yours, in terms of manufacturing technology and the functionality of firearms, we may not be as good as you." Many weapons are designed to restrain you, such as this crossbow, which is fired and then ignited, and its sheer size does not have much lethality against ground troops, at most destroying a formation. Siege isn't very useful, it's mainly for your hot air balloons. The last time the saint was in the capital, he ate a big loss from your hot air balloon. How can we not study the way to deal with it, otherwise how can we start a war against you? ”

"Happy!" Xu Yang said that what Qi Jingtong said was very sincere.

Qi Jingdao: "Then I'll ask a question too, and you can answer it as much as you can." ”

"Tell me."

"Where did the Lu family get so much gold and silver, so that it could be squandered so much, used for the people, and made firearms and weapons. Do R&D, continuous innovation, and so on. Qi Jingtong asked.

Xu Yang clenched his fists and said: "Please forgive me for not commenting on this, this is a confidential matter." ”

"Then let me change the question, do you think Lu Bing can achieve the final victory?" Qijing Passage. Xu Yang was stunned and replied: "This question is so strange for you, I must think that my lord can win." What the? You ask the reason, okay, I'll sue you. Naturally, it is not for the sake of blind obedience to the lord. There are words. Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, compared to Zhu Houxi, my lord is lenient and benevolent, and he is a good monarch who is benevolent to the people and soldiers. The people and soldiers are all grateful to Dade, and they are naturally loyal and patriotic without any preaching. Under the unity of all people, how can there be no reason to be invincible? And our country is also rich in money, with the foundation and capital for development. The Holy Lords and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee worked hard to make the country prosperous, and the whole country reformed the old and established the new. The people are rich, everyone is free, and the society is just, this is the country that people should live in. Compared with the current situation of the new country, the rule of the remnant Ming back then was simply hell on earth. ”

Qi Jingtong nodded and said: "Indeed, Lu Bing is a talented person and a benevolent person, and now my mother and family are still in his hands, and he is still supporting, which makes me very moved." But this is all small righteousness, and the matter of loyalty to the king is the great righteousness, which is why I said that our Tao is different. Of course, the establishment of all countries began with wars, and even if there were no wars, there were soft knives that killed people without seeing blood on the political government, but they still had to die, so it is said that the winner is the king and the loser is the thief, and justice or not is written by the victor. Therefore, if a country wants long-term peace and stability, it must always have a unified mind, and there must always be great righteousness. Lu Bingsheng is here, and he is also defeated here. Under his education, the people are free in thought, but there are no shackles, so when they do it right, maybe the people will be loyal to the country, but what if they do it wrong? Or when the interests of the country are harmed for the sake of the interests of the people, what kind of scene will be produced at that time? It's going to be a big mess in the world. Although the economy will develop rapidly, it is difficult for such a policy to last long. If jade is not carved into a weapon, you don't need to use those hard means that you despise, how to make a country a weapon, how to make a nation obey and abide by the law and discipline to maintain state power, and want the world to be harmonious? I'm afraid that people's hearts are not ancient. ”

"Then it depends on the result, the result is that the new country was founded, and the Ming Dynasty became the remnant Ming, hehe. No one in the new country has the idea that the Ming Dynasty is the homeland, but now everyone is proud to be a new country. Our Lord once said that wisdom to the people is not only for the sake of social development, but also to make people live more like individuals, which is the right that everyone should have. In his life, my lord only pursues freedom, fairness, and happiness. You are right, there will indeed be people who do not know what is good or bad, even if the benevolent government is inevitably satisfied with everyone in the world, but as long as the country is still there, it is not a decoration, there are still his laws and regulations. It will only conform to the ideas and interests of the majority, but if someone wants to destroy the country, the state will still use force to deter and suppress it. This is where the yamen is located, and the army is there to defend against foreign enemies, not to suppress the people. This is why there are several major military regions, not that there are so many troops in the new country to suppress the people, which is compared with the remnants of the Ming, I am afraid that it is the difference between cloud and mud, hehe. Xu Yang said.

Then, Xu Yang said: "I also asked a question you asked, I asked my lord, if one day, something goes against the wishes of most people in the world, but it is beneficial to the country's plan, then how should the lord do it?" In fact, I initially thought that the lord was too merciful, so merciful that he didn't look like a ruthless and bloody monarch. But guess what my lord will say? ”

Qi Jingtong shook his head, and Xu Yang said: "My lord said that there is no country without people, if it goes against the will of the people like this, it will be a damage to the interests of the country." This country is not his home world, but yours, mine, his and all the people in the world, if you want to harm the interests of the majority of people to safeguard national interests, then such national interests should not be needed. ”

"Without a people, there is no country." Qi Jingtong muttered to himself: "Lu Bing is really a strange person, with great ambitions, although Qi someone doesn't agree with his ideas, he still admires him." He's going to be a saint, but I still don't think he's going to go to victory, let alone a saint. Okay, let's not talk about how he governs the country, because if he is not in his position, he will not seek his government, and we are not monarchs, so we don't have to worry about these things. Let's talk about what we should do, that is, to lead troops to fight. Can such a merciful soldier be victorious? I think it is difficult to have loyalty and righteousness, but it is not necessary to win the battle, because the more you care, the more difficult it is to give up. For example, at that time, in order to wait for those dozens of air cavalry, you delayed the best opportunity to retreat, leading to greater casualties and losses, and those air cavalry only ran back less than half of them, which seemed to be saved, and the whole army was overjoyed, but in fact, they were scarred and smoky, and it was difficult to quickly put them into the battlefield when they were rescued. How do they take off without a hot air balloon, and what's the point of rescuing them? Okay, this may be too far away, let's just meet you today. I know you know you can do martial arts, but maybe that's not the same as me, right? You said that if I kill you now, even if I bear the charge of untrustworthiness, inhumanity and injustice, after all, the commander of the Lu family's rebel army is dead, and the army is discouraged and defeated. Can you think clearly, this is still coming to see me, do you say that such a person can win if he only talks about benevolence and righteousness? ”

"Hahahaha, Qi Jingtong, Qi Jingtong, you don't know the word benevolence and righteousness too much, there is no word righteousness at the head, people are just a walking corpse. Saving those air cavalry is not only their training difficulties are very expensive, even ordinary soldiers will do the same, maybe there will be a lot of losses, but if you don't save them, what you lose is the hearts of the soldiers, if the country has everyone in their hearts, then everyone will have the country in their hearts. Xu Yang said: "Benevolence and righteousness are relative, benevolence and righteousness internally, tough externally, benevolence and righteousness are not stupid, if you dare to kill me, you and I will definitely die together." How not to believe it? Look at this. ”

Saying that, Xu Yang opened the buckle of the armor on his body, which contained a lot of explosives, Xu Yang smiled and pointed to some hidden mechanism leads and said: "No matter how bad my strength is, I am also a general, with so many explosives on my body, so many leads, I always have a chance to pull it, right?" No matter how high your martial arts are, you can't run out of this explosion range, right? With so many explosives, you should know how far you can blow up, and you will end up together, won't your plan fail, and the remnants of the Ming people who have no command will definitely not be as good as my Lu Jiajun!
