If you have promised someone else's things, you have to do it. Anyway, now it's a stalemate, I don't count if I don't fight, the military bigwigs are twisted into a rope, and the royal family is not good at interfering, so I'm a stupid boy who runs to calm things down, a big joke.

The current situation has been sublimated, and the military's proposal has changed from unilateral aggression to a lofty movement to defend the homeland and defend the country, which is patriotism, loyalty, and the addition of swords and axes without frowning, shedding blood for the recovery of mountains and rivers, and bravely dedicating themselves to the death to save the people of the Celestial Empire who have been oppressed by the Turks for thousands of years. And the anti-war faction led by Du Feng was labeled as cowardly, unscrupulous, and even traitorous traitors.

Fortunately, it was just a mess in the court, if these public opinions spread to the people, it would be over, Du Feng and others were not painted with a white face by the storyteller of later generations, and it was strange to say that they were Turkic agents lurking in the imperial court. Thinking that even a famous general like Su Dingfang with outstanding military achievements can give the infamy of the ruthless 'Su Taishi', let alone Du Feng.

It's strange and pitiful, although he has never had a good impression of Du Feng, this person is still insightful. The darkness of officialdom has existed since ancient times, and no matter how much progress in society has passed, whether it is a clean official or a corrupt official, it is extremely unlikely that you want to stay out of the matter, and if you want to protect yourself, you have to join a certain group as a support, and from then on become a member of the community, and share weal and woe with the community.

I don't understand, and I don't want to understand, what kind of conflict of interests between small groups is, whether it is really patriotic or doing something infamous under the pretext of patriotism. Xiaomin, living a small life, calculating money, calculating food, wife and children hot kang head, there is no requirement for good food and clothing. Whoever gives me a good life is a good official, and the better the life of the people, the more level this official will be, and he will have to sing praises. It has to be praised, as for whether there are ruthless and vicious conspirators behind the officials, colleagues killing people, destroying rumors, and attacking the world, etc., it is not in the evaluation of the people's evaluation of their quality. This is also the reason why Wu Zetian can have a good reputation among the people, whoever he likes to kill will kill whom, as long as he doesn't rob my old sow.

I got up early, prepared a basket of fresh eggs, took a few bottles of Jiuhua Yulu, and took a few new cricket cans and went on the road. Visit Mr. Cheng. The old man has a lot of hobbies, and if I send money, he will definitely be happier, so just give him an intermediate happiness, and don't break too much.

Cheng Chu was also there, and he was very happy to see me coming, and Mr. Cheng was even more pleased, and he turned over the gifts when he came up. Almost let the crickets in the jar run away.

"Or Zihao knows that filial piety to the elderly, these unpopular children and grandchildren in the family can't be compared, and they are all fed in vain." Old Man Cheng rummaged through the cricket jar, and didn't see the door for a long time, "It's finely done." Is it for insect breeding? ”

"Yes, bugs. The kid showed his grandfather. As he spoke, he took out the handmade weasel whisker from his arms, and gently removed the lid to let the crickets see the light first. Familiarize yourself with the battlefield environment. Then I chose the home and away games, and I came in a hurry, without a bucket can, so I could only grieve one of the away games. The two crickets are about the same size and belong to the same weight class.

The main venue is a 'flower top light purple' birthday star head, flower top cover, silver bucket silk is thin and straight and deep, and the side road is clear. Purple flower three-tooth pincers rustle, wide back and long legs, not surprised by the enemy, calm as a rock, the filament trembles lightly, spreads its wings and screams Liwei, the sound is like a bell, it is a fairy product in the insect. For Confucian generals. Happened to be with the two daughters while strolling in the garden. The away battle is a rare 'crab blue and white sickle tooth', which is very rare. Good insects are often three-toothed pliers, this insect four-toothed with curved hooks, that is, long and thick, sickle-shaped, when encountering the enemy, a pair of pliers will not let go, and the legs are thick and the teeth are low, the momentum is like a bulldozer, for the fierce general, the god of the insect, and Ying inspected the Zhuangzhong project, was attracted by its hoarse chirp, captured in one fell swoop. In this era, the cricket culture has not yet been formed, and if the two insects are in the future, it will be difficult to find money.

In an instant, the two insects bite into a ball, or break, or top, or scuffle, or are raised high, will meet good materials, and the battle is fierce. The eyes of the three were attracted, silently cheering for their favored side, and with the ups and downs of the battle, even the audience's breath became heavy.

"Stop!" The old man shouted loudly and said urgently: "Zihao, hurry up and persuade each other, let's stop fighting." If you want to fight again, you will either die or be injured, but it's a pity that the fierce general. ”

I also felt that my love would kill each other, so I changed my eyebrows to set up the two fierce generals, and lightly changed the basin before I breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandpa, how's it going? Interesting, right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Old Man Cheng pointed to two jars of crickets, "Send me?" ”

"Well," I nodded heavily, reluctant in my heart, but I still had to do favors, "specially given to grandpa's pastime, a little trick, and a happy picture." ”

Old man Cheng learned from me, carefully picked up the cricket jar, put it in the flower bed in the courtyard, and sighed: "I can't imagine that every insect has this blood, but it's a pity, if you are reincarnated as a human, you will be a fierce general." Those bastards aren't even as good as a worm. He looked back at Cheng Chu, "How did the people invite?" ”

Cheng Chu looked frightened, took a few steps back, pulled away a little, and said carefully: "People want grandpa to invite you in person, saying that I have no weight, let me go." ”

"Well, kick you to death!" Old man Cheng kicked Cheng Chu, and suddenly laughed a few times, "The old man is not dead, one is more stubborn than the other, if you can't beat the old man, you will play this trick, haha......" turned his head to me and said: "The old man is going to invite a match, not far away, Zihao will wait a while, and he will come back immediately." ”

Seeing the old man Cheng go out, he asked Cheng Chu: "Who does the old man invite?" Still going in person? ”

"Please Mr. Su. Today, grandpa invited many old friends to come over for lunch, saying that without Old Man Su, he would not come to the pomp, so he had to be invited. I ran a few times in a row and didn't see anyone, no, the little brother guarded the door of the Su Mansion before dawn and finally met him, Grandpa Su didn't say a word and told the little brother to 'get away', and I met you when I got back. Cheng Chu sat on the flower pond with a dejected face, and complained: "A month ago, Old Man Su's family moved the newly given 'Linqing County Prince' Mansion next to it, and I don't know why I provoked my grandfather, the two of them fought three or four times before and after, and grandpa even used the axe to open the mountain, and he clamored all day long to take Su Lao'er's head, and the two juniors were embarrassed to come and go. This is good, and now he says that he invites people to dinner, isn't it embarrassing! ”

"Ahh So hot? "The scene of the famous general's nest was missed, and I knew how good it would be to move the bench to Cheng's house to watch the play two days ago, "The old man has a treat today." Then I won't stay much, we juniors don't have a part to speak, and staying is in the way. Greet the old man, and I'll come to see him in two days. As he spoke, he arched his hand and hurriedly pulled out. Just kidding, who can Mr. Cheng invite, aren't they all old murderers to eat with this group of people? I haven't been kicked in the head by a donkey. Escape matters.

Cheng Chu didn't stop me, he understood my feelings, and sent me to the door very cooperatively, "Brother Zihao walks slowly, it is estimated that the family is not restless these days......"

I nodded, Cheng Chu deserves to be a good brother, and reminded me that I won't be used in two days, and the Cheng family has a tendency to become a 'Juyi Hall'. Keep me away from right and wrong.

Just as he was about to get on the horse and flee for his life, there was a loud shout: "The boy of the Wang family is leaving!" ”

Oops, I almost fell off right away, and I was scared to death, so why don't you put away the old furniture? How convenient it is to walk the streets. Even the megaphone is exempt. I turned my head to see it, but it was amazing, and the old man who sold me my granddaughter ran towards me and mentioned it to me. Put it on the saddle bridge, "Sneaky, I can't see the elders, what are you running?" ”

"Old man, can you put it down for me? Your saddle is so high that the boy's ribs are about to break. "It's uncomfortable to be on horseback, not to mention, just outside the door of the Cheng Mansion, what are you showing off? How embarrassing it is to be seen by many people. Moreover, it has been seen.

The old man got off the horse, pulled me down, and laughed, "How many years, how many years have I not captured the enemy general, and my hands are all raw." Boy, you're flirtatious, and you feel too bad. Go home and raise some fat before you press the weight. Eat more in the future. ”

"Yes, by all means. It must be easy for you to mention it. "I stood still and straightened my ruffled shirt. What kind of person, a bully who is still a tiger's back, and thinks I'm thin, and I take advantage of it. It's going to be a bit crooked, and you're going to have to fire a shuttle at this old immortal. "Old man, the kid has something at home, it's rude, so I'll leave first." Don't run now, wait when.

"Come here." The old man grabbed me, "There is no reason to let me go when I come, but I also serve in the army, follow me in!" "Didn't listen to my explanation, grabbed me by the collar and grabbed a chicken and slipped in.

Cheng Chu stood outside the door, witnessing this scene and not daring to say anything, seeing me being manipulated, he was not righteous.

"Brother Zihao, you probably won't be able to leave, save it." Cheng Chu is now the door greeting, and arched his hand towards the old man kindly, "Grandpa Liang, please first, grandpa will go to invite Old Man Su, and then he will arrive." ”

"Take care of him for me, run away and only ask you!" He pushed me to Cheng Chu and strode into the door, as if it were my own home.

"Brother Zihao, let's go," Cheng Chu saw the old man walking away, and deliberately released the water.

"I can't go," Old Man Cheng came back alone in rags, and there were still marks of being beaten on his face, it seemed that he had changed his invitation to beat people, and it was estimated that Su Dingfang would not be much better. Cheng Chu didn't care about his grandfather like this, and he didn't wonder how much he saw.

"Lao Su is good at fist and foot kung fu, the old man didn't even please him today, haha......" Old Man Cheng laughed heartily, "He is not much stronger, I kicked him four or five times in a row, if it wasn't for his son and students to stop him, he would have been kicked to death on the spot." Lao Liang is here? Zihao, follow me in, this Liang Jianfang is very fond of you. ”

Oh, remember the name, Liang Jianfang, okay, run next time you hear it. After a while, even Li Tao arrived with a group of old guys, and the hall instantly became lively, and I felt like I was in the middle of a group of godfathers, hiding and worrying. Lanling has made me miserable, and if I want to go back alive today, I have to fight with Lanling.

The old men quarreled for a while, and Li Tao and Old Man Cheng took the lead and began to deliberate. It is nothing more than instigating the imperial court to fight Turkic dialect, and listening to this meaning, even Li Tao is the main battle faction. What people said is also right, if there is no war, how can the land and food be paid, how can the prestige of the military in the imperial court be enhanced, and if you want to maintain the morale and combat effectiveness of the army, you have to fight, you have to keep fighting.

Watching the drum in my heart, seven or eight people, either this general or that general, the old man who arrested me in the morning turned out to be General Zuo Wuwei, mixed with these people, and his life was short.

"Zihao, tell me what you mean. Since you're sitting here, you're not pretending to be dumb. "Just when I was worried, Li Tao suddenly came suddenly, and I was a little hairy.

"The boy is studying, and he doesn't dare to show off in front of all the grandfathers," I quickly stood up and made a circle around, "Hit, that's what grandfathers say." Hit hard! "It's important to save your life first, in front of so many old generals, if you have the opposite opinion, your two wives will have to be widowed.

"You have to have a charter to play, let's talk about it, how to play." Liang Jianfang slapped the table dissatisfied, "Don't fool people, Brother Cheng, bring your sand table out." Let's deduce it on the spot. It doesn't matter if you fight, or not, you won't suffer a loss if you practice a few more times. ”

"Zihao and Old Man Li deal with each other, and you two Tubo. You, Lao Liang, you two Tugu Hun ...... "Old Man Cheng assigned forces, and every two of them played a peripheral force, and he became the commander of the Tang Army. began to play the game of Datang's attack on the Western Turks under the control of many countries.

Although the Western Turks were in civil strife, their combat power was still strong, and while attacking the Turks, they also had to guard against the sneak attack of Tibet, and the troops of the Anxi Governorate were overstretched. It is difficult to complete the task with the power of one government. It is necessary to send troops from all sides to help.

Li Tao and I took advantage of the weakness of the Tang army on the right side of Longyou, and the right side was free of the shackles of the Tang army, so we feigned an offensive in Jiannan, and lifted heavy troops to the north to Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun lacked a coordinated Tang army. was scattered by the condescending charge of Tubo, relying on a few big cities on the plains to survive, and at this time the Tang army of Old Man Cheng was still in a fierce war with the Turks.

"It's a little late," Old Man Cheng casually threw the small flag on the sand table, "It's just a change, and there are pros and cons to exchanging Tuyuhun for the Western Turks." ”

"That being said, the barrier of Tuyuhun is lost. We have increased the number of places bordering Tibet, and we will need a large number of troops to defend the Tibetans in the future. It's a little uneconomical. Liang Jianfang looked regretful, "If Tuyuhun can hold out for half a year longer, our army will capture the Western Turks and turn back to help, maybe we will be able to completely annihilate the Tubo elite on the plain." ”

"Impossible, there will be gains and losses. That's the case now. Li Tao glared at Old Man Cheng and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm too anxious." Fortune and misfortune are unpredictable. But the words have been released. There is no reason to break your word, or you will fall into your name. Our army was disgraced. It's a tough battle, I can only fight for my life to go out, Lao Cheng is good at doing this job, if he sends troops, I am optimistic about Lao Cheng. ”

"If you can hold back the Tubo people...... Old Man Cheng patted his head and groped carefully on the sand table, "Tuyuhun was injured by my dynasty back then, and it was difficult to block the Tubo people head-on." Zihao, you just killed beautifully, tell me your thoughts. ”

I have a fart idea, and I'm exhausted from deducing with these old men, and my brain is a pot of porridge, and I have no idea to kill people for half my life, so I ask me what's the use. "Well, I don't have that. To be honest, if it is three years later, there will be no need for this change, once the imperial court subdues the Southern Zhao, so that Tubo can not take care of the whole thing, you can calmly send troops. ”

"It's impossible, you just don't fight for three years, there are many variables in three years, who can predict it?" Liang Jianfang looked dissatisfied.

"Maybe it's a way," Li Tao pointed to the vicinity of Shanzhou, "The troops of the Guanxi inland government have not yet been transferred back, once Tubo advances north, you can give Tuyuhun a helping hand, but the troops are insufficient, whether they can hold on until the army returns to help is two words." ”

"Competent!" Old man Cheng smashed his fist on the case, "Although the number of soldiers in the Guannei Prefecture is small, the combat power is good, and it can come in handy." However, the mobilization of the Guannai army requires the cooperation of the military department, and this Du thief is very slippery, and he will inevitably find ways to obstruct it. ”

"It's a dangerous move, once Lao Cheng is stagnant in the west, Tuyuhun and tens of thousands of Guanzhong disciples will be in danger, first sum up, and then declare if you have a chance of winning, the military department is also afraid of losing the Tuyuhun barrier to obstruct it, as long as Tuyuhun can be kept thorough, he has no reason to do anything." Li Tao frowned and said cautiously: "It's not easy to have both ways." Once the Guannei government soldiers participate in the war, this treasure will be pressed, and the victory will ensure that I will not have the harm of Tubo for 30 years, if you miss, you and I will lose face is a trivial matter, and tens of thousands of Guanzhong children will be killed, and they will bear the infamy of a lifetime. The stakes are very high, and the Holy One will also have some concerns, and how to get the Holy Lord's support is the key. ”

are all gamblers, and I took tens of thousands of Guanzhong elites as chips for my own selfishness, and I was a little uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. Since ancient times, it is more difficult to send reinforcements than to attack fortifications, and the troops that send reinforcements belong to the classic cannon fodder, not to mention being outnumbered, even if they achieve the final victory, there is not much left, and it is pitiful that in the end, they can't even get a good name. When celebrating the victory, who would have thought that a group of bloody men would block the wolf-like enemy army with their stumps and broken arms, and how many people could not even get together a complete corpse, and fell asleep on the ground with their names.

I participated in a massacre, a massacre in which I was not a friend or foe. The simple peasant households on the Zhuangzi were the army I personally sent them to at that time, and their parents, wives and children were still waiting for them to return triumphantly, but I was comfortable in the rear watching them being put on the sand table, and they were taken away again and again, and every time I took off a small flag, my heart contracted violently, which was thousands of lives, thousands of Guanzhong children, including Qin Yu.

I don't know how I got home, my brain is a little insufficient, I can't think of anything, I don't want to think about anything. I felt like something was missing, empty. On an unpleasant day, maybe it would be better to get some sleep, I can't be sure, but it's good to try. didn't speak, ignored the anxious Ying and the second daughter, shrank to the corner of the kang alone, quiet and motionless.
