Guo Fen came out of the house, looked for a long time and did not find his brother Guo Luo, at this time Guo Shidao's two orders have been handed down, the third battalion first did not make a noise, and no one gathered, I heard that I could go home, those who have families and children have rolled their armor and returned, and the broken leaf river was quiet when it landed, and the cooking flue road suddenly became extremely peaceful.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Guo Fen wondered: "Where did my brother go?" "I bumped into a person, who is it not Zhang Mai? It's just that at this moment, there is only Liu Heihu by his side, and he looks a little lonely.

Although Guo Fen was worried about him in his heart, it was just that foreign affairs were in a hurry to come to him, and Zhang Mai was thinking about it for the past two days, but at this time, he suddenly met, and the two of them didn't know what to say, and there was a big old man next to him, Liu Heihu, who was in the way, and he didn't know how to retreat, so the two of them could talk about themselves, so they looked at each other, but the two mouths didn't open for a long time.

"You ......" The two opened and closed at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled, Guo Fen said, "Don't go to dinner yet." ”

"Ah, eating? I forgot about it. ”

Guo Fen then remembered that Zhang Mai was a homeless person, and he usually ate and slept with the bachelors of the same army, although he was a special envoy, he did not have any special treatment for the time being, and sighed: "You bachelors, you just don't know how to take care of yourself." There is no rule for three meals, and if you burn your body, how can you go into battle to kill the enemy? ”

"Yes, yes." Zhang Mai's mouth responded, his heart was a little warm, and a little anxious, warm because he heard that Guo Fen cared about himself, but he was anxious because there was still a big thing to do at this time, from the end of the meeting to the present, he only walked seven military tents, but persuaded sixty or seventy people to throw the river grass to himself, Guo Shidao's order was passed down after the soldiers returned to the camp, did not dare to watch and listen to him anymore, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and now every moment is close to the third watch, so he is reluctant to go, and he is anxious to leave.

Guo Fen saw it and hurriedly said, "I'm going to find my brother, you remember to eat." "Turn around and go.

Seeing that he was understanding, Zhang Mai was overjoyed and shouted, "I'll go back to you!" After taking Liu Heihu and leaving, Guo Fen stopped and turned to look at his back, thinking, "I don't know if his dinner has been lost." Guo Fen arrived at the stove and saw only a middle-aged woman, Wang Er's sister-in-law, who was busy cooking, and shouted when he saw Guo Fen: "Fenniang, why are you here?" ”

Wang's second sister-in-law was the woman in charge of the food in this military tent, and at this time she had heard that her husband could be discharged and returned home tonight, so she hurriedly took care of this matter and rushed back, and she didn't have time to talk to Guo Fen.

Guo Fen walked over and opened the pot to take a look, it was a pot of grains, but it was just to fill his stomach, and it was very rough, and he thought: "Second sister-in-law Wang is really careless." Well, each family has its own affairs, she is worried about her husband and son, and she can't be very attentive to the affairs of the public family. ”

After Zhang Mai separated from Liu Heihu and Guo Fen, he happened to meet a sergeant, who vaguely remembered that his name was Xi Sheng, and he was a fire chief.

Xi Sheng was cooking porridge, and when he saw Zhang Mai, he shouted, "Ouch, envoy, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Mai said: "I'll take a look around. Just as he was about to use some words to introduce the topic, the multigrain porridge in the clay pot was boiling, and Xi Sheng said embarrassedly: "Special envoy, I'm sorry." You sit down in the tent first. ”

After the broken leaves burned the city, the Tang Army's houses were all destroyed, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs set up a small tent to live temporarily, Xi Sheng's small tent was only five steps to see the circle, only to enter, a foul smell came to the nose, a half-naked old woman in the tent lay on a wooden board in the corner, Xi Sheng shouted outside: "Special envoy, that's the mother, the mother is inconvenient to move, and her speech is not clear, you don't see it, first find a place to sit down, I will cook the porridge and come." ”

Zhang Mai looked at this situation, he really couldn't open the mouth of canvassing, he wanted to leave, and he felt that it was not appropriate, so he watched Xi Sheng cook on the small stove at the door at the door at the door of the tent, the Tang Army was in short supply, even if he wanted to have any ingredients for his own small stove, it was difficult to have any ingredients, at this time Xi Sheng just tried to control the heat, cooked a bunch of miscellaneous grains until it was soft, and then put some salt to taste, Zhang Mai did not expect such a man who was brave when he rushed into battle to do such a kind of work so carefully.

Xi Sheng sighed while cooking porridge: "In the past two days, the army has been in an emergency, I entrusted my mother to my neighbor Uncle Xiao, but Uncle Xiao is rough and arrogant, he can't do fine work, he just soaks the dry food every day, adds a cup of cold water, his mother is not in good health, and her appetite is very poor, but it is not Uncle Xiao's hospitality, and I am afraid that the news will reach the army, I will worry, I swallowed the dry food in front of Uncle Xiao, but I really can't swallow it, and I spit it in the corner...... Speaking of this, his voice was also choked, and he hurriedly diverted the topic: "Alas, the envoy came to the cold house, this is a flourishing thing, what am I doing with this." ”

Zhang Mai was stunned when he heard it, and suddenly remembered: "I came to this world as a whole person, what should I do at home?" Mom and Dad lost their son, what should I do? Well, I hope I'm the one who has been copied into this world, or that there is another person in that world where I do my filial piety by my parents' side. "However, the fact that he came to this world is absurd, the so-called being a copied person, or that plane has another self, is just a little hope, what is happening to the family now, I am afraid that I can't know in this life, and the corners of my eyes are suddenly a little moist.

While speaking, the multigrain porridge had been cooked, and Xi Sheng held it aside, waiting for the porridge to be cold before feeding his mother, so he moved a stone and sat next to Zhang Mai, and said, "Special envoy, is there something wrong with you coming this time?" ”

Zhang Mai adjusted his feelings, and was about to speak, Xi Sheng's mother in the tent whined twice, Zhang Mai and Liu Heihu didn't know what they meant, Xi Sheng looked ashamed, and said, "Envoy and so on." Went in and hugged his mother out of the tent, and went to a dark place, Zhang Mai guessed that Xi's mother was going to drown, smelled the stench in the tent, and suddenly understood: "In the past few days, everyone has been preparing for war wholeheartedly, Xi's mother lacks care, people have three urgency, she is inconvenient, I am afraid that it will be solved directly here." "Thinking about this filth, people naturally feel disgusted, and at the same time, they are ashamed.

After a while, Xi Sheng came back, settled his mother, and saw that Zhang Mai's eyes fell on a pile of dirty clothes in the small tent, and his rough face was red, and he quickly cleaned it up a few times, and his face was very apologetic: "Special envoy, I'm really sorry, you look at me like this...... Is...... Sorry. ”

Zhang Mai was silent and said: "Actually, I don't have anything to do, I just happened to pass by, come in and take a look." The porridge is almost ready to eat, so feed the old lady it. ”

After saying goodbye, Xi Sheng sent him far away before hurriedly going back. Walking in the darkness and firelight all the way, Liu Heihu seemed to think of something, but he couldn't speak, and the surroundings were quiet, Zhang Mai didn't go to find anyone else, so he naturally returned to his tent, sat alone for a long time, and suddenly realized that the true meaning of this world was far from being as easy and simple as he thought. But I don't know that there are still a lot of things behind the scenes that cannot be solved by strategy and stratagem.

He suddenly remembered a story, about an ancient secession regime in the face of the crusade of the central dynasty, the monarch ordered surrender, that country originally had 140,000 troops, but after an order was handed down, all of them were disarmed and surrendered, the monarch of the secession regime and his wife and relatives were also captured in the capital of the central dynasty, the emperor who had just unified the world and the concubine of the deceased monarch talked about the death of the country, and the concubine made a poem and said: "The flag is erected on the king's city, where does the concubine know in the deep palace?" 140,000 people were disarmed, and none of them were men! ”

At that time, when Zhang Mai heard this story, he applauded the concubine's arrogant condemnation of the case, but then he suddenly remembered: "Those 140,000 people, why do you want to be disarmed?" Are they all cowards? If you fight a battle, can't you win? Even if you really lose in the end, it won't be in vain for a good man's enthusiasm! But why did they descend so lightly? ”

After all, fighting a war is not a game, but a part of living a life, fighting a war is about victory as the ultimate goal, but living a life is not.

If you don't know why the soldiers are cowardly, how can you make them brave?

If he can't find the answer, it is impossible to lead the Tang army to find a way to survive, let alone save the Tang people, restore the Western Regions, and revitalize the Tang Dynasty.

"Ahh Today there is an extra pot of wild vegetable soup! ”

Liu Heihu came back from the stove with dinner in a hurry, in the past, he always swallowed dry, or just a little water, tonight he ate a mouthful of rice, drank a mouthful of soup, shouted and said: "Second sister-in-law Wang is really good today!" Not only did I prepare rice, but I also prepared soup! ”

Listening to him eat well, Zhang Mai felt hungry, eating and drinking soup, but felt that rice and soup were the handiwork of two people: the rice was very rough, and there was even unwashed sand in it, although the soup was just a few wild vegetables, and there was no oil and water, but it was very carefully reorganized, close to the tile pot, and there was a faint smell of fragrance in addition to the fragrance of vegetables.

This is not the taste of Wang's second sister-in-law.

Zhang Mai had the image of a girl in his heart.

Looking at the pot of wild vegetable soup in front of him, and then thinking about Xi Sheng's pot of multigrain porridge, the rising heat seemed to have written the answer for Zhang Mai.
