Chapter 6: Jin Se (Part 1)

Wu Shi Tong understood what Liu Hongji and the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to express, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, those who are close are not grandchildren, and those who are far away are resentful!" Although he didn't read as many books as the eldest grandson Wuji, he also knew that this phrase did not come from the military family in the first place. The words of the two colleagues may not have been deliberately aimed at anyone, but they still pierced his heart like the cold wind outside the window.

Almost instinctively, the words of rebuttal blurted out from the mouth of the samurai. "I don't think it's so mysterious, the second son lives in the barracks, and everyone is ten times more careful to guard. If someone is trying to do wrong, it may not be safe to live there! ”

"Brother Shi Tong's words are a bit irresponsible, how can the second son be in the company of those poor and lowly people?!" The eldest grandson Wuji paused for a moment and slowly retorted. He didn't know what kind of madness the samurai Tong had suddenly smoked, and he insisted on gambling with the safety of the second son. But the other party's reckless actions completely destroyed the good image he left in his heart. "People from humble backgrounds are in a hurry!" The eldest grandson Wuji secretly commented in his heart, and the tone of his voice was also slightly condemned, "Separate camps, the guards are good to prevent idle people from approaching." If you live and eat with them, regardless of whether you are high or low, I am afraid that you will ......"

"I'm afraid of what, all they lack is their background. There is no lack of conscience, but his conduct and knowledge are not necessarily worse than others! Before Eldest Sun Wuji could finish speaking, Wu Shi interrupted him loudly.

In this era, the criterion that distinguishes whether a person is worthy of respect is his birth, not his ability and character. The warrior Tong was loyal, square, and hard-working, but he was always excluded in the Tang Mansion. But in terms of knowledge and ability, how can he lose half a point to others? Does a person from a civilian background necessarily be a great traitor? Throughout the ages, how many of those who have really ruined this country and harmed the people are from humble backgrounds?

The voice lagged behind, and the audience was shocked. Not only the eldest grandson Wuji, but also Liu Hongji and Li Shimin understood why Wu Shitong was angry. Before Li Shimin had time to mediate, the eldest grandson Wuji had already blushed, pointed at the other party's nose, and scolded loudly: "Brother Shitong's words are too rampant!" The cold door is not allowed to be in the same column of the scholars, the Qin and Han dynasties, all dynasties and dynasties believe in this ceremony! Could it be that just by relying on the opinions of Brother Shi Tong alone, he wants to overturn the public opinions of countless ancient sages and sages for thousands of years? ”

"Wu is just talking about things!" Samurai clenched his fists and took a half-step back, distancing himself from a few of his colleagues. Before accompanying Li Shimin to recruit troops, he had clearly considered the great gains and losses of this trip. Since the second son gradually became an adult, there has been an undercurrent in the Tang Mansion. Almost all of them were faced with the choice of how to stand in line, and most of them invariably chose Shizicheng. After all, the latter is the heir of the Li family, and with the second son Li Shimin, the biggest achievement is to become a powerful side branch of the Li family. For a family that has lasted for nearly a hundred years, how can the side branch power be as big as the backbone?

Like most people, as a slightly scheming low-level officer, Wu Shitong was not optimistic about Li Shimin's future. At the same time, he disliked Li Jiancheng's character of being too weak and not responsible. He tried to observe the attitude of Tang Gong Li Yuan in order to do what he liked. was surprised to find that Tang Gong Li Yuan's attitude towards his two sons was extremely ambiguous. This old man, who likes to keep his eyes on Taoguang, also promoted the means of dealing with the imperial court to his own family, and almost acquiesced in Li Shimin's various disrespectful actions towards his eldest brother on weekdays, and every time it came to a critical moment, he quietly consolidated the status of the prince.

"Maybe Tang Gong wants to use the pressure of the second son to urge the prince to work hard!" After observing for a long time, Samurai came to the following conclusions. Therefore, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity to be favored by Li Shimin to show himself to the fullest. But the eldest Sun Wuji, a guy who doesn't understand military affairs at all, is pointing fingers on the side, but this guy who likes to point fingers still holds his own noble blood.

"It's a good sentence, let me ask you, if there is a mistake in the safety of the second son, can you afford it? Captain Wu was in such a hurry to pull the second son into the camp, not with some special purpose. Eldest Sun Wuji squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and the words were like knives. It is a matter of the mastermind's safety, and he can't help him not to break his face with the other party. At present, it is not only the enemies of the Li Mansion who are looking forward to the second son's accident, although the prince is generous, there is no shortage of philistine villains who are eager to make meritorious contributions!

"Wu's official position is low, and he doesn't dare to say the word responsibility. But if the second son moves into the barracks to live with the brothers, Wu is willing to be on duty outside the sleeping tent every night, and will never slack off! Wu Shi Tong did not show weakness, raised his head, and looked at the gaze of the eldest grandson Wuji and responded loudly.

"Is Captain Wu very good? Why have you never heard anyone talk about it? Eldest Sun Wuji smiled slightly, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Lord Eldest Sun can try it himself!" Samurai Yan pressed his hand to his saber and responded with a sneer. He knew that today he had offended the second son's wife and brother, and the matter had spread, and he was afraid that his life in the Li Mansion would be even more difficult in the future. But when it comes to the development of the situation, he has no way back.

He wasn't defending himself alone, and at this moment, Samurai found himself somewhat understanding of Asahiko's choice. He understood why Xuzi knew that the road ahead was difficult, but he still had to give up the near and seek the farthest. understood the helplessness and hesitation in Xuzi's heart when faced with a choice. Without waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to answer whether to fight, Wu Shitong's gaze swept over everyone, and said in an extremely slow and clear tone: "After all, if the second son of the team in front of him is always unusable, everyone may not have any face in front of his colleagues in the palace!" ”

In a word, everyone is cold in their hearts. At present, few people in the Tang Mansion are optimistic about the second son, this is an indisputable fact. Including the behavior of refining the spirit martial arts this time, there are many people behind the scenes who are waiting to see the joke. If this matter is really fruitless in the end, what the second son is about to lose is probably more than just a little face!

Before coming to Mingsha, Wu Shitong did not decide to do his best to assist Li Shimin, after all, the second son is not a prince, and the future of following him is unknown. But after such a toss with the eldest grandson Wuji, he had to bet his future on Li Shimin, and followed the other party with both losses and prosperity.

"You!" The eldest grandson Wuji didn't expect the samurai Tong to say such straightforward words, and he was speechless. Just as he was weighing the gains and losses repeatedly in his heart, Li Shimin, who had been watching the two subordinates arguing, finally spoke. "Don't fight, two brothers, from tonight, my sleeping tent will be in the middle of the barracks!" Glancing at the eldest grandson Wuji with an angry face, he added with a smile, "But it's not for the sake of face, my father and eldest brother gave me the task of refining soldiers, which is a trust in me." In any case, I can't let them down! ”

"Respect the second son's order!" Several henchmen and guards bowed down at the same time and saluted Li Shimin. Liu Hongji was also mixed in with everyone, and at the moment when he straightened up, his eyes at Wu Shi Tong suddenly lit up, and between his calm eyebrows, he vaguely showed a little appreciation.

Li Shimin's style has always been to do what he says, and that afternoon, he moved his own luggage into the barracks. When eating, he didn't mind holding a rough wooden bowl and sharing wheat rice cooked in the same cauldron with the low-ranking officers. Many people were touched by this move, and the next day, the brothers were much more energetic on the training ground. But more than a month later, the recruits still don't have the ability to compete with the day's food protection army.

Li Shimin's eyes were red again, and he could not find out the specific reason for the low morale of the brothers. Whether it is armor and weapons, food and military salaries, even the mounts under the crotch, and the tents used when camping, the recruits under his command are much better than the food guards in Huaiyuan Town back then. At that time, the Tang Mansion was on the cusp of the storm, and even if the Tang Duke had the heart, he did not dare to invest too much money and energy in the army. At this moment, the Tang Mansion and Huaiyuan Town are no longer the same, although they are still careful everywhere in the court, and the money, materials and manpower that can be directly dispatched are ten times more generous than back then.

"Could it be that the armor equipment we provided is not as good as the equipment that Qi County has equipped for the county soldiers? I've heard people say that Zhong Jian's side is so poor that he can't even open the pot, and the latest batch of armor is still from the hands of the old general who came to protect the children. Li Shimin once again gathered his henchmen and asked everyone to offer suggestions.

He didn't want to blame anyone, in fact, Liu Hongji and others had done their best. In particular, after the conflict with the eldest grandson Wuji, the samurai Tong was almost unclothed in the barracks every day. If Liu and Wu are not as talented as Li Xu to explain the strange phenomenon in front of them, it will hurt the hearts of several subordinates too much. Moreover, a large part of Li Xu's ability was learned from Liu Hongji, and he was a halfway monk, so there was no reason why he was better than Liu Hongji, a noble child who was familiar with military books from elementary school.

"Zhong Jian lacks armor equipment there, where did Shimin know about this news?" Contrary to Li Shimin's expectations, Liu Hongji and Wu Shitong were not jealous of Li Xu's ability, but they were concerned about each other's recent situation.

"Someone in our family specially collects Brother Zhongjian's every move," Li Shimin raised the letter in his hand and said with a little smile. "Recently, Zhong Jian won another battle with General Zhang Xutuo, crossed the border and attacked Donglai, Qin Shubao captured the elephant, Luo Shixin beheaded Wang Liang, Zhong Jian slashed Zheng Dabiao, and shot Li Wan, the arm of Zuo Xiaoyou. forced the generalissimo Zuo, who once had 100,000 troops, to have no way to escape, and went down the mountain and surrendered! ”

"Zhong Jian is good at martial arts, Sister Qian didn't say anything in her family letter, how did he use to train soldiers?" The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at the warrior Tong and asked with a smile. Originally, he was only interested in Li Xu, but now, he admired the other party's talent more and more.

'The same refining, with Li Xu here, is a hundred times stronger than the conceited and stubborn guy in front of him. The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the warrior Tong with a sense of pride in his heart.
