Chapter 351: On War
It's good to be back! Qin Yu went out...... I forgot that I hadn't seen each other for a few years, and I forgot about the fight between the two women, and ran inside.
The man has a big heart, he doesn't say it, and he doesn't think about it. Don't worry about it, Qin Yu's ability is there, and his achievements over the years are in front of him, and he is already a leader among young generals. But I can obviously feel inexplicably down-to-earth in my heart, maybe it is the so-called friendship between teachers and students, I don't think I have the consciousness of being a teacher, and I dare not be sure.
It hasn't changed much, it's a little stronger than when I went out of Beijing, and it always looks a little thin when I sit with Cheng Chu. Looking at the appearance and dressing up, he went back to his home, he was dressed in a scribe's robe, clean and tidy, and he stood on the street as if he was a student, and no one believed that this was the person who had just experienced the test of life and death from the front line.
The banquet was arranged, and the chairman's seat was reserved for me, and Ying was thoughtful in greeting with the posture of a hostess. Old man Cheng sat in the head, and was smiling and hugging the two children to tease, Lanling sat down politely, and when he saw me coming back, he squinted his eyes, turned his head and ignored it, it seems that he couldn't get any benefits from Ying today.
Qin Yu saw that I became excited, stood up and bowed down without waiting for me to go, without holding it with one hand, he quickly adjusted his emotions, and said with relief: "Hurry up, we don't want to do this!" ”
Cheng Chu didn't have an eye, he still ate and drank, he was kicked by the old man, and came over to laugh like a graduation photo, and he stood side by side with me and messed around with Qin Yu.
"Sit down," he helped Qin Yu up, pretending to be stunned when he found Princess Lanling, and immediately stepped forward to salute respectfully.
Lan Ling changed his smile and waved his hand, and pulled Ying who greeted him affectionately: "I brought the child to see your talented girl today, but I didn't expect to have a lively time." Saying this, he pointed to the lower hand seat, and said to Qin Yu: "Siye is about to sit here, and I was just worried about listening to you talk about the war, so Zihao interrupted." This salute was done. The brotherhood of the division has also been expressed, so let's pick up the previous talk, you are the horn today. ”
Qin Yu answered, turned his head to look at me, sat down embarrassedly, and smiled shyly at Lanling.
"When this master comes back, don't hide the good wine," Old Man Cheng raised nine catties and smiled at the banquet. handed the child to Ying, "I've been busy for a long time, my daughter-in-law will go down and rest." ”
Ying took the child's polite words, retreated all the way here, handed me a victory look before turning the threshold, raised her pointed chin and stepped on the wind and floated away.
Lanling clapped his hands, and complained to the old man Cheng: "All talents, they are taking wine and resting." Kick me away? He hugged the sugar cane and stood up with a smile, "That's it, I won't sit here to attract eyes, you guys will talk." Inheritance, how the court rewarded is one thing. You can't avoid it because of this, and sit in my house when you're free, and you haven't heard enough about the affairs in the south. ”
Seeing that we all stood up, Lan Ling waved his hand. "Don't send it, they all live close here, neighbors walk each other, and there will be more exchanges in the future, or there will be so many courtesies."
That being said, my lord's family has to be thoughtful in front of outsiders, and he sent the door to Lanling all the way out of the table, and he didn't pay attention to me all the way. When he got into the car, he twisted his face and smiled, and said softly: "To borrow your words: you are dead!" He snorted and boarded the car and drove away.
Am I dead? What a deal! Who is the shouting to kick the field? is not biased, she herself failed to take advantage of my, and she was wronged. But it's okay, at least Ying has the momentum and won't trouble me tonight, drink first, and never be afraid of death threats.
In the cellar, a jar of the first batch of steamed liquor was taken out, which was not an old thing. But in the eyes of the old man, it is high-end goods. He drank it alone, and he was refreshed after a pot. Suddenly, he knocked on the case and asked: "Heiye, there are no outsiders in front of me, you are the son-in-law of my Cheng family, tell me about your future plans!" ”
It seems that you don't treat me as an outsider, seeing Qin Yu smiled at the old man, he lowered his head and said nothing. Old Man Cheng's question was too direct, and he planned to belong to the ** area in many people's hearts in the future, and it was difficult for even the closest people to answer. Laughing and relieving the siege, he said: "I'm afraid that I haven't planned yet, and when I return to Beijing, I have to listen to the dispatch of the military department and follow the arrangements of the imperial court." ”
Qin Yu took advantage of my words and nodded hurriedly, and the old man owed to him, "It's not my own business......"
"If you fart," Old Man Cheng laughed, raised his chopsticks and nodded at the two of us, "I can't help you and your uncle?" Du Feng's plan is still unclear to the old man? He is your mother-in-law, I am your mother-in-law, who do you listen to? ”
didn't understand, looked at the old man and Qin Yu, Cheng Chu sat opposite and pulled food into his mouth with an honest face, and he didn't have anything to do with anyone. Puzzled asks, "What's ......?"
"Not really," Old Man Cheng interrupted: "Zihao is a smart person, he knows how to put things out of his body, but they don't understand." Cheng Chu, this kid is easy to say, he can't turn over the big waves if I live for a day, but this Qin family ...... "paused, look at my three juniors," people are old, they think a lot, and they look forward to the future to attract children's jokes. Heiye, my friendship with your grandfather will be told to you when I should talk about it. No matter what the Du family plans, the use of troops in the east has nothing to do with your Qin family, you just want to go and shake the prestige of the Qin family again, this time listen to grandpa's words, there are too many people in the world who can do it better than you, and there is no shortage of you. ”
As soon as I understood, the old man's words were put here. In the Tang Empire, it was imperative to take military action against the land of Jiannan in the past few years, and the military department transferred Qin Yu back from Jiannan this time, I am afraid that a big reason is that he plans to use troops in Liaodong at any time to be dispatched at any time, and the old man can say it thoroughly, it seems that it is really possible to send Qin Yu to Liaodong in the army.
Frowning, he glanced at Qin Yu, and saw that he no longer argued, and it was estimated that he already had this intention in his heart. "Didn't the imperial court just start operating in Liaodong? The Koreans in the east of Liaochengzhou are still in a mess, and the rebellion of killing and killing Ming is not enough to start so quickly, right? ”
The old man shook his head with a wine glass, "Not doing anything for three or five years and not sending an army for three or five years are two different things. Now the western Tubo is weak, the internal changes are just around the corner, ten or eight years can not become the climate, a few years ago in the Guannai additional prefecture soldiers have been driven back. The old man calculated, if Longyou did not expand to the northwest, it would be enough to have 60,000 elite soldiers under Lao Qi, plus the miscellaneous city defense army of 170,000 is a head, and the remaining 70,000 people recruited before the war Longyou could not afford to feed, and the gains of transporting grain and grass outweighed the losses. If you hadn't gone east, you would have been released to work in the countryside a long time ago. ”
"Seventy thousand?"
Qin Yu nodded, and the wine glass was gently put on the table and filled it slowly, "Grandpa said that it is reasonable, as soon as the war in Longyou is free, it is time to go to the east." ”
"Isn't Old General Liang holding the helm over there?" It's not a joke to drive over 70,000 people at once, they are all goblin soldiers who have just come down from the battlefield, sharpening their teeth and waiting to drink blood. Judging from the combat effectiveness of these years, if conditions permit. Seventy thousand elite Tang troops are enough to turn over the earth.
"Old killer," the old man smiled and looked around at the three juniors, "It's just that there are not enough people to send Lao Liang over, only he can do this job." Now that the battle situation in the west is certain, it is time for Liang Lao to come back. Your Grandpa Liang has a skill, 3,000 people can break 30,000 enemies in his hands, and 30,000 people in his hands can't even break the window paper, let alone give him 70,000. ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the four of them burst into laughter. In the eyes of these patriarchs. Liang Jianfang can afford the statement of brave generals and fierce generals, he is not afraid of death when he takes the lead in killing the past, and dares to take the lead in breaking into the enemy's formation, but it is difficult to say that he is sitting in the military tent and strategizing, Lao Liang belongs to the material of being a high-level thug all his life. In terms of overall quality, there is still a bit of a gap with generals and famous generals, so no one dares to provoke them, but they are often spurned and despised by the old commanders.
"Just smile, don't talk outside." Mr. Cheng is interested in having a family banquet today. In front of the juniors, he even mentioned the shortcomings of his old comrades-in-arms, and he was very open in his words, probably to create a unrestrained atmosphere first, firstly, it is estimated that it is to pave the way for more unscrupulous topics in his future, and secondly, he is very face-saving and regards the Wang family as the home field, so that I know that he has never treated me as a foreign surname.
The foul words were meticulous, and he almost didn't say anything I trust you, Cheng, and Wang, and the two families didn't distinguish between each other, and a few irrelevant words. Even in the arrogance and unreasonableness, you can feel these subconsciously, very kind, and more willing to accept it. The old man's life has become an art, and to put it bluntly, it is also driven by family interests, but he can humanize this interest demand and show it as something that is just like family affection.
In his topic, he never mentioned what points should be paid attention to in the two areas of cooperation, how to do Longyou Farm, and what kind of labor. Cotton. Grain, Lingnan. Benefits, none. gives people an illusion, the old man has no other hobbies except for blackmailing flower water and bullying Su Dingfang when watching crickets fight, and he doesn't even care about Cheng Chu's homework, as if he doesn't have to bother when someone hands it over to me. I'm still willing to be the head of this wrong, when there are any benefits to share, the first one thinks of the Cheng family, no way, everyone has a cheap side, and the old man poked at my shortcomings.
With the same words, Old Man Cheng turned his head to me and said: "Zihao, my elder sometimes doesn't talk as much as you, the senior brother who should teach the industry, you have taken care of it, and you can go anywhere, but not in the east." The words are long, the old man has worked hard for ten years, and in these ten years, the heir is going to run away The old man in Liaochengzhou is the only one you ask. ”
"Grandpa...... "Before I could say anything, Qin Yu was a little unhappy first. The words came to me, but Qin Yu had great respect for me, the senior brother who taught me, and he couldn't tolerate the old man saying such bad things. "This matter has nothing to do with Brother Zihao. Now Tibet in the west has changed internally, and the Turks in the north have been flattened. Without the help of Tubo, Nanzhao suffered a big loss again, and he was already willing to be envoyed by my court, and it would be difficult to become troubled. Except for the east, there is no place for the imperial court to use troops in the short term......"
In the end, it is a person who eats military salaries, the so-called cannon sounds, ten thousand taels of gold, although Qin Yu's family is not short of money, but he also has the idea of making merits in this last piece of military pure land. There will never be a so-called dove in the army, especially in this year, the reward for military merits is extremely rich, looking at the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is temporarily worth sending an army to conquer the east of the place, the three generations of generals of the old, middle and young generations are all squeezing their heads and drilling over there, but the old man has to block it and not let it go enough Qin Yu is depressed, and he still threatens his senior brother when he is over, and he should talk down no matter how old he is.
"What's it called?" The old man was not angry, brushed his beard and tilted his head to look at the three of them, looking like he was leaning on the old and selling the old. "What a joy! The first few battles were too smooth, Goryeo, Turkic, and Tibetan, the opponents were stronger than the other, and they were swept away one by one, so they really thought they were invincible? ”
Isn't that invincible? Although Cheng Chu didn't dare to speak, he looked invincible when he ate; Qin Yu's expression hasn't changed much, and he doesn't even care in my heart, if he is not invincible at this time, when will he be invincible?
"Look, the rabbit cubs don't know how thick the sky is!" The old man was a little displeased, and pouted a chopstick and threw it on Cheng Chu's head, "It has nothing to do with you, and don't eat it so ugly." Lack of cleanup! Zihao, give the old man another one of the fish that was just burned, and teach you boys while eating. ”
The fish is good, the cook's skills are rising, the old man eats heartily, his mouth is occupied and he has no time to teach, and he swept his eyes sharply after sweeping, it seems that he is going to talk. Everyone sat solemnly and waited for the old general's court training. The old man cleared his throat and asked for a glass, "Another plate!" ”
"This fish, why can't you climb onto the plate, you have to lie down, and you have to turn it over after eating," the old man turned over the fish unsatisfied, and said leisurely: "I love to eat it with a light mouth." The old man has a heavy mouth, so he likes to eat the juice that will be soaked below, and the taste can't get in if he doesn't soak it, right? ”
"That's right, the kid loves to eat the following, too." Actually, I don't care up or down. I love to eat fish heads, so I don't tell him.
"So, in addition to picking out the thorns, take a little time to soak for a while to get the taste right." The old man paused for his chopsticks. I sandwiched the pleasure of eating, and I didn't see the spit thorns, and it seems that the meat was chewed with thorns. "Zihao, do you say that Tubo people eat fish?"
"......" didn't want to answer this boring question.
The old man smiled, "In order to quell the Western Turks, Datang has been operating in Longyou for almost thirty years, which can be regarded as soaked. There is also Goryeo, the stinky boys just know that it is easy to extinguish the land. Do you want to show off to show off that the old man fought hard to keep the army from losing ground? What kind of temper was Emperor Taizong? When he returned to the court, he first admitted his mistake to a civil official, and the first one mentioned that he was so happy. ”
The hall suddenly became quiet, and Cheng Chu also put his chopsticks and joined the ranks.
"I was happy to pacify the Eastern Turkic saints back then, thinking that I could repay the shame of the defeat of the previous dynasty in Goryeo, but the old man wrote and sent troops to Goryeo, except for Li Ji, among the generals, all of them are like the heirs now, and they are afraid of pulling themselves down." Shaking his head with emotion. The old man misses the majesty of the past. "Count on your fingers, starting from the Yang family in the previous dynasty to the fourth year of Yonghui. How many years did Pingan a small Goryeo operate? How many people died? It's not that the soldiers and generals will do the work, pull them to the Central Plains to fight, the old man's 3,000 people can break him 30,000, but the boundaries are different, our side has not yet dried up in the season where people have begun to freeze to death, not to mention that the Yan Ya is farther north and a little colder than Goryeo. ”
"But ......" Qin Yu just wanted to question, but was immediately interrupted by the old man.
"What?" glanced at Qin Yu disdainfully, "What do you understand?" Don't say that there is a that cotton clothes can be beaten by digging coal, the Goryeo people in Liaochengzhou are still in chaos for a day and have no way, do you expect tens of thousands of troops to sweep through the people? It's up to you to learn the art of war, learn the dog's belly! ”
The saying that the outside world must first be settled in the interior was a reactionary slogan in my time, and it seems that the old man had reactionary tendencies. But it makes a lot of sense. Listen first.
"The time and place are favorable, even people are not on our side, do you expect three or five months to beat people down? Can you fight down and do it early, it's your turn? The indigo dares to openly go against us, and the confidence of others is not something that many people can do. The old man burped and threw the chopsticks aside, "It's time to lose the battle, if you don't eat the defeat, the hairy boys in the army don't know what their last name is." Remember, the first war around has never been smooth, Goryeo is, the Eastern and Western Turks are too, and even the Southern Zhao has been caught off guard by us, although this Yan has been entangled for many years, the army is also the first time. What is the first time? It's a way to exchange life, and there are many people who don't want to die, but I have to look at our own children, and no one can look at Jiuquan without an old man! ”
Yes, that's a bit cruel to say, but now that the conditions are limited, fighting in a field that you are not good at and losing again and again is the only way to victory. Moreover, with the growing strength of the Tang Empire, the war was not aimed at victory, but the complete conquest of the territory and the hostile people in all directions. Once the war starts, it is inevitable that it will be protracted, and it is unrealistic to rely on strong national strength and bloody killings to deter the other side, and then use time to heal the wounds caused by the war.
"Zihao figured it out?" The old man nodded with satisfaction, "If you want to take a thousand knives, you can go if you want to, teach you a way, etc." When the division over there is unfavorable, and the three armies change commanders in succession, just like when Taizong's expedition to Goryeo was frustrated, and the capable people were unwilling to go, you asked for your life. Please go to Liaodong to operate, not to lose in a row. As he spoke, he pinched his fingers and counted for a while, "Wait for six years, and then run for another six years, which is more than the credit of your life on the battlefield." is still young, and it is not okay to have a lot of credit and no qualifications, and now no one cares about life or death; Twelve years later, it's different, the defeated are defeated, the damned are dead, there is no one in the three armies who can talk better than you, and there will be no objection to how you want to fight the court at that time, this is the key to the life of the three armies! ”
Listening to it, I have a lot of feelings in my heart, and I know Mr. Cheng better. Even Cheng Chu, who had always been dull, was a little moved, and Qin Yu lowered his head and grabbed a chopstick to make his knuckles white. Shocking, what's the point of two women fighting? I can have half the knowledge of the old man, so I won't run outside and dare not go home. I'm just afraid now, I'm afraid that the old man will teach Qin Yu badly, what should I do if I change Old Man Qin in the future? It seems that I have to study hard with the old man, and then I will become an old man in front of me.
