Zhou Wei obediently pulled the roasted sweet potato out of the charcoal fire, and the piping hot sweet potato, the skin had been burned black, and it was thrown to the ground, like a few black charcoal balls.

The old protector put down the topographic map, picked up a sweet potato, peeled off the skin and showed it to Zhou Wei, "Look at it, I haven't lost this skill, right?" This is yellow, orange and orange, and it is sweet at first glance. ”

Zhou Wei hasn't eaten sweet potatoes like this for many years, he remembers, when he was a child, his grandfather took them to the barren mountains to train soldiers, it was also winter, and he burned sweet potatoes on charcoal.

Zhou Wei nodded with a smile, picked one up and peeled it off, and took a bite, "Well, my grandfather's craftsmanship has not been lost, it is still the taste I ate when I was a child." ”

The old protector laughed, "It's good that you remember." Prove that you have not forgotten what I taught you. ”

While eating roasted sweet potatoes, he said to Zhou Wei: "Your brother is in Nanping, and Su Rong's little girl has also gone, with the two of them here, even if there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Nanping, they can find a way to defend Nanping City and keep Nanping from chaos." ”

"200,000 soldiers and horses in northern Hebei, it is said that Zhang Cheng led the troops." Zhou Wei was still very worried.

Lao Huguo said: "You have to believe that at a critical juncture, people's potential can be brought into full play." Your younger brother, over the years, he has lacked experience in the East Palace, and he is right to go out of Beijing to practice. ”

It's just a pity that his good grandson, I'm afraid that there will be no return to this experience, as long as the little girl is not stupid, she will accept him, don't let go, tie people to his side, and stay in Nanchu in the future.

Ay.

His old bones, the one who bothered to teach him ran away, and now he has to teach his eldest grandson.

His eldest grandson, will be there, but lack of tempering, also lack of insight, the art of figuring out people's hearts, he didn't teach, I thought that in the future, their brothers, a penny and martial arts, as long as they are not stupid, there is Zhou Gu standing in the court, resourcefulness is enough, the rest of the don't use, who knows, now they have to start from scratch.

Let's start teaching from the battle of wits and courage before fighting with Zhang Ping! If it's a good lesson, it's the best lesson.

After eating two sweet potatoes, the old protector patted his belly, "When I was old, when I was young, I could eat seven or eight of this thing in one go, but now, there are only two, and I can't eat them." ”

He waved his hand to Zhou Wei, "You take it all, have a good rest tonight, early tomorrow morning, let's go to Changzhou, and when we get there, we won't move." ”

Zhou Wei was surprised, "Grandfather, Changzhou is still hundreds of miles away from Longxi County, why doesn't it move?" ”

"We rushed to Longxi County in a hurry, people are sleepy and tired, can we beat Zhang Ping? What's more, he still has 250,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. The old protector said: "When we arrive in Changzhou, we will be stationed in Changzhou, prepare well and wait for Zhang Ping to come to the door, and we can still have a chance of winning, otherwise, now we have 200,000 soldiers and horses......"

The old protector shook his head regretfully, "The 100,000 Jinglu soldiers and horses in Your Majesty's hands have not been trained well for many years, they are just good-looking flowers, and they look like good cabbage, but in fact, the core is rotten, and it is almost the same as giving people heads." ”

Zhou Wei was silent, "Listen to grandfather." ”

The old protector waved his hand to him, and when he saw him picking up the sweet potatoes on the ground, he suddenly remembered, "What about that kid Su Xingze?" Why haven't you seen him all day? ”

Zhou Weidao: "He seems to be studying the topographic map. ”

The old protector said to him: "Don't pick it up, send someone to call that kid and let him eat." ”

Zhou Wei answered and immediately sent someone.

Su Xingze's tent was not far from the tent of the old protector, and he came soon, and after he entered the tent, he bowed his hand to the old protector, "Old Guogong." ”

"Eat the freshly roasted sweet potato." The old protector sat down to drink tea and pointed to him on the ground.

Su Xing smiled and thanked him, picked up a roasted sweet potato, sat on the mat and peeled it off and ate it.

He eats Sven, but he is very skilled in peeling. Unlike Zhou Wei, peeling is a little clumsy. In the end, he is the son of the Guogong Mansion, even in the army, the old protector of the country deliberately raised extensively, but during the Taiping years, there was no war, even if the training was hard, he still maintained the attention of the children of the family. This is not to blame him, after all, he has a grandmother of the eldest princess and a mother from a family.

"You're very skilled." The old protector looked at Su Xingze.

Su Xing smiled, "The seventh sister is naughty, she doesn't like to be detained in the house since she was a child, she either goes up the mountain or down the river, I don't worry about her when I was a child, and I can't lock her up, so I can only follow her." She likes to cook and eat in the mountains. ”

The old protector understood, and he was happy, "That little girl, wild and long, but I didn't expect it to be different from her, and she grew into that weak and delicate appearance." ”

Su Xing smiled, "That's because you didn't see her fighting with people, when she was in Jiangning County, she didn't look like a daughter's family for a day, only when she came to the capital, she looked like a lady." ”

The old protector has naturally never seen it, but she can't marry the little grandson he values the most, and if she thinks about it, it can't be everyone's lady, so she went to the door to destroy the marriage book that day, and you can imagine a few points, she fights with people, and she must be a ruthless person.

He personally handed Su Xingze a cup of tea, "You studied the topographic map for a day?" Let's hear it. ”

Su Xing hurriedly took the hot tea and thanked the old protector fairly, "The juniors estimate the time, and I am afraid that after we arrive, Zhang Ping has taken Longxi County with the army." Therefore, the younger generation is thinking, where should our army stop Zhang Ping, 200,000 soldiers and horses, against 250,000 soldiers and horses, there is a gap, plus 100,000 soldiers and horses in Beijing, at most 50,000 numbers, so calculated, it is really a disparity in strength, if you don't choose a dangerous place, make all preparations, let the first battle be successful, and greatly increase the morale of our army, if you are afraid to rush to it, the soldiers and horses are poor, the first battle suffers, and the opportunity is lost, our army can only be defeated again and again, and there is no fighting spirit. ”

The old protector looked at him with admiration, "You kid, you are worthy of being taught by Xie Yuan." ”

He glanced at Zhou Wei, "Are you convinced?" ”

Zhou Wei was ashamed, "Grandson's suit." ”

He knew that his grandfather was using his younger brother to point at him earlier, and he had already introspected himself, but he grew up in the army, was familiar with military books, and was often taught by his grandfather, but he was not as good as Su Xingze.

"You have your advantages, this way, although the people are sleepy and the horses are tired, and the army is in a hurry, there is no mistake, the team is neat, and there is no chaos. This is the first and foremost of the march, and it is well done. But only if you are in a hurry, you are doing badly, if you are not anxious and calm down, you will not think that we will rush to Longxi County, and the daylilies are cold. The old protector said: "If you lose Longxi County, you will lose it, and then you will lose Qingyuan, Huai'an, Pengcheng, Changze, and Luoying, which is nothing." As long as we hold Changzhou, we will hold the capital. Otherwise, if we are afraid of losing a place and block it with all our might, it will only make us lose again and again, defeat to the capital, and let the feet of the Son of Heaven become the last line of defense, which is a complete defeat. Zhang Ping's little rabbit cub, he is not worthy of entering the territory of the capital, we will defeat him in Changzhou. ”

After he finished speaking, he asked Su Xing: "You studied for a day, did you choose Changzhou?" ”

Su Xing took out the topographic map, spread it out in front of the old protector, and said with a smile: "The younger generation also thinks that Changzhou is a treasure land. ”

On the topographic map he took out, a place was outlined, which was the Bahuan Mountain in Changzhou.

The old protector laughed, "Yes, the future is terrifying." Xie Yuan, that kid, taught the two of you, and he is also a successor. ”

He sighed, "What has he been doing in Jiangzhou?" Your father won't let him go? Or does he not want to go out of Jiangzhou? ”

Su Xing said softly: "Mr. said in the letter a few days ago that he had left Jiangzhou, and the seventh sister couldn't leave for a while, so he went to Nanchu first." ”
