The two old friends goodbye, there are naturally a lot of old things to talk about at the dinner table, most of the two old comrades-in-arms Jiang Ji and Guo Qing are saying, men, if you have wine, you can chat, and the woman's family is a lot more subtle, whispering some homely things, Chaoyang and Jiang family The two brothers have not seen each other for a long time, and they are still a little restrained at this time, peeking at them from time to time, both of them laughed kindly, she also smiled, and when the adults were gone, they sat together and said a few words to get acquainted.

Jiang Dingnan was also at the table, sitting alone like an anomaly, he went to the upper courtyard to accompany his grandparents for dinner, I heard that the Guo family was coming, he came over to see a salute, after all, Guo Qing is also his uncle, but he has never marched with his father, and the Guo family is also a newcomer to Beijing, he has never seen it, but when the elders visit, he still has to ask for peace.

Guo Qing and Jiang Ji are colleagues and friends, Jing'er and Mrs. Guo have something to talk about, Chaoyang and the Guo brothers are small, he is alone, Guo Qing is too old, Guo Yong and the brothers are too young, he is stuck in the middle and can't get up or down, such a scene is really unable to sit down.

Guo Qing found him uncomfortable, and did not forget to carry him when talking to Jiang Ji, saying that they were cutting Liang when he was born, and Jiang Ji was still newly married at that time, so he went to the battlefield, and he also remembered his wife and children in his heart, and he heard that he gave birth to a son, and the mother and son were safe, so he named him Dingnan to commemorate the battle, and Jiang Ji did not see him until the end of the war when he returned to the capital, and he would call his father at that time.

Those memories Jiang Dingnan is already very vague, but he also remembers that he was called his father when he was a child, not his father, it seems that since his father insisted on remarrying the county lord, the gap between father and son has become bigger and bigger, and there are more and more times when the two are relatively cold-faced, and then the county lord has no children, his father took the county lord to Quanzhou, and left him and his sister in Beijing, he should be without this father, he has no father and no mother, and he is still living well.

Jiang Ji is becoming more and more dissatisfied with this son, what does it mean that the elders talk to him, and he doesn't react for a long time? Guo Qing is not a person who is good at socializing, and he expressed the attitude of Cihe and Uncle Shi, Jiang Dingnan does not pick up the stubble, and he can't post it anymore. Jiang Ji asked Jiang Dingnan to go back first, "An'er can't see you and you should cry, you go and coax, go to bed early after coaxing, and you will go to work tomorrow." ”

This is just to deceive the Guo family, who in the Jiang family doesn't know that Jiang Dingnan never set foot in Mingyutang, and treats his wife and children as nothing.

Jiang Dingnan wanted to leave a long time ago, as soon as his father spoke, he said goodbye along the steps, and after leaving the main courtyard, he smelled the wind and snow outside and cleared his heart, this mansion is where he grew up since he was a child, and several of his closest relatives are here, why does he have no attachment at all, there is only a barren place in his heart, who uprooted every tree and flower in that land.

The four members of the Guo family stayed overnight in Jiang's house, and the next morning Jiang Ji went to the barracks, Jing'er took the four members of the Guo family to the upper courtyard to ask the two old men for peace, Guo Qing knew the old man, not only did he know it, but he was able to have today thanks to the promotion of the old man.

Jiang Ji went to Northern Xinjiang for a few years when he was young, at that time he started as a small soldier incognito, and Guo Qing was in a battalion, although Jiang Ji said that he had followed his father in the army since he was a child, but the children of the family should have a pampering and he was not bad, and he left his father's shelter at first, and Northern Xinjiang was the territory of the Zhao family.

Guo Qing lived in a room with him at that time, he was one year younger than him, and he was also a recruit, but he was more adaptable than him, and helped him a lot, Jiang Ji remembered it in his heart, and later the Great Zhou Dynasty cut Liang, Jiang Ji followed his father to the battlefield, and the northern Xinjiang also had to send troops to support, Jiang Ji mentioned Guo Qing with his father, and incorporated Guo Qing into the Liang team. He also did his best to sweat and sweat in that battle, so that the old man looked at it twice, and he also wrote down what should be written down for him in the military merit book, so that he climbed from a small soldier to the position of a general through the ages, and there were some people under his hands, and he gradually got up.

Don't say that all this is achieved by his own efforts, his efforts are indeed one thing, but how can hard work alone be enough, there are many people who work hard among the soldiers at the bottom, that is, they go to the battlefield and fight to kill the enemy, and the leader does not give you military merits but takes it upon himself, what can you do? If you complain about yourself, you will be served by military law, you can't get out of bed after being beaten, and then your medicine is cut off, so what if you are worn to death like this, who cares about the life or death of a low-level soldier.

Guo Qing has been in the army for so many years, climbing from the lowest soldier to the deputy marshal of one side, and has seen too many selfishness, and then he led the troops by himself, and he can only ensure that the soldiers under him will not encounter such a thing, and whose military merits should be whom. The real generals, such as the father and son of the Jiang family, will never take the lead of their military exploits, they will never worry that their subordinates will steal their limelight too much, but wish that their subordinates could come out and become their own help and connections, this is the way of the development of the family, and the so-called resources left by these families to future generations are not accumulated in this way?

Later, he led the troops to follow this path, because wherever he served was the military morale, the soldiers assigned to him were happy, and the soldiers under others also wanted to follow him, but his position was so high, and there were so many people who could be bred, and the army would hold a military sentiment survey at the end of each year, and the anonymous report submitted by the soldiers in the army was also a major factor in the transfer of officers.

The road of life is very long, the starting point is very important, the Jiang family father and son are the people who gave him this starting point, let him race on the road, if it weren't for them, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter, he knows gratitude, he has maintained a friendly relationship with Jiang Ji all these years, the relationship between the two sons and Chaoyang is good, he doesn't dare to think about his wife's idea, if he can become him, he is naturally happy, if he can't do it, it will be okay, and the relationship between the two families can't be broken.

The old man saw that the boy who fought fearlessly and bloodily on the battlefield in the past has now grown into a general in the army, and he is also very pleased, recalling the old things, he still wants to praise him: "The first time I saw you, I knew that you were born to belong to the battlefield, and there will be a place for you in the army, and you did not let me down. Your Majesty is going to take you as an example to beat those nobles who are on the corpse and eat vegetarian meals. ”

After all, Guo Qingneng can be said to be a model of a general from a poor family.

Guo Qing said humbly: "Don't dare to be the old lady so praised, if you talk about marching and fighting, no one can match you, although you have been retired for many years, the name of the god of war is still circulating in the army, Hongyuan is also a leader in our generation, I am only shallow, thanks to you and Hongyuan to help to get to this day, this kindness Guo Qing dare not forget, if your house is useful to get a place, I will definitely help." ”

The old man stroked his beard and nodded, Xi Guo Qingzhi understands how to report, among the people he promoted, there was a Fan Peige in the previous generation, but he didn't expect him to prosper alone, and the next generation is all old and has no future; There is only one Guo Qing in this generation, and he didn't start picking in the next generation, the Zhao family's son is not bad, and his grandchildren are also okay, that is, Jiang Dingnan is not sensible, as for the matter of helping his grandson's cultivation, he is old, and he will hand it over to Jiang Ji and the brothers to plan for their sons, the people he trained for his two sons are not bad, and the brothers can't find anything bad for their sons.
