Chapter 43: Mochizuki talks

A few days later, Qu Gao and his entourage escorted 40 truckloads of grain back to Luoyang, and he immediately summoned officials from various ministries to resettle the displaced people and supply them with grain as needed. At the same time, fortifications were arranged for the displaced people, young men were responsible for the reconstruction and restoration work in Luoyang City, and women who had no relatives and no support were also arranged to make some winter clothes. Speaking of arranging women, Qu Gao has a lot of inconvenience, fortunately this time back to Xiangyang, brought the Yang family over, the Yang family is Zhu Yan's subordinate business man, because of the care of the dying Zhu Yan failed to evacuate in time, this time with Qu Gao came to Luoyang, just a big help!

Not only that, with the rapid spread of the news, Luoyang City has more and more displaced people, new houses have risen in the city, and shops in the market have been opened one after another. By the time of the lunar month, the newly built area in the city had already been lit up and living a life of worry-free food and clothing.

Qu Gao stood on the tower of the city gate, looking at this small prosperous scene, and thought that it might take many years to restore the prosperity of the entire Luoyang, but now he can see some results, and he is finally comforted.

"It's night, it's cool."

His shoulders were held down by a pair of hands, and a black cloak hung on his shoulders, Qu Gao thought it was Yang, pulled the cloak with both hands, and tied it tighter. Looking back at the person who came, his face was slightly shocked, and he bowed his head and saluted: "General." ”

Shi Min and Qu Gao stood side by side on the gatehouse, looking at the brightly lit and lively street market below, he had always been iron-blooded, his eyes were also glowing with a little moist light, he raised a jar of wine, took a sip, and suddenly laughed heartily: "I know, I Ran Min didn't see the wrong person!" ”

"Come!" Qu Gao took the wine handed by Shi Min, and also took a sip, thinking back that in the past few months, Shi Min let him exert his fists in Luoyang, and he didn't ask about everything, and seemed to have always been confident that he could rebuild Luoyang, but he had never had the experience and talent in this area, why did Shi Min dare to tie this heavy responsibility to himself? Through the wine, Qu Gao asked him, "General, why do you believe that I can govern Luoyang well?" ”

Shi Min shook his head and replied: "There's nothing to believe or disbelieve, someone has to do this, my subordinates are all reckless, they just like to fight and kill, starting from the capture of Luoyang, I also feel heartache when I see this prosperity decaying little by little in my hands, and the people are displaced." Shi Min suddenly said in a deep voice: "I can take the world of the Jin family at any time, but if it is like Luoyang after taking it, what is the point?" Once upon a time, Mr. said: It is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world, and I only understood this truth at this time. ”

Under the glow of the lights in the city, the two of them were slightly drunk, perhaps it was because of this jar of wine that Qu Gao and Shi Min had a rare opportunity to talk, and it was precisely because of this conversation that Qu Gao knew a little more about this Hu people's god of war general. It turns out that he not only has the ability to be invincible, but also has delicate and thoughtful considerations, and it is not enough to call him a hero of the world.

"The Jin family is absurd, the Shi family is brutal, if the general puts up the flag, he will definitely be the master of the party." Qu Gao spat softly.

"Qu Lang is so bold!" Shi Min looked at Qu Gao with a shocked face, and lowered his voice and said, "You dare to say this kind of thing, but you know that I am still a descendant of the Shi family." ”

Qu Gao looked at Shi Min's angry eyes, his face was fearless, and he replied: "What Qu Gao said is what he thinks in his heart, there is no way in the world, and the living beings are ruined, if there is no Ming Lord to come into the world, it is inevitable that he will experience a hundred years of war." ”

Shi Min suddenly laughed loudly: "If it weren't for you Xiangyang Qugao, I would have regarded today's words as your words to sow discord." Shi Min suddenly raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said: "But you are right, this troubled world needs someone to end it, if there is no great power, it will be a disaster for a hundred years." ”

"If I erect the flag and stand on my own, Qu Lang is willing to be my general, make meritorious contributions, and conquer the world?" Shi Min suddenly asked seriously.

Qu Gao did not deny in his heart that Shi Min was a master, and he did not doubt that he would be generous, and he would do things under him, which was very enjoyable! But the merit is not what he wants, and it is not what he wants to make the world war, so he replied: "General, Qu Gao has no intention of the great cause of the world, and the wish in his heart is just to protect the peace and tranquility of Xiangyang. ”

A touch of loneliness flashed in Shi Min's eyes, but then he appreciated: "I heard that the three generations of Qu Langzu's ancestors were all defenders of Xiangyang, and the safety of Xiangyang City may have been regarded as a mission by your Qu family. After Zhang You's death, in order to ensure that there were leaders in Xiangyang, he did not hesitate to fight against the head of the jade-faced king with his own strength. Such a firm mind, rare in the world! As he spoke, Shi Min's eyes gradually became meaningful, and he said: "When my soldiers came to the city, I knew that if I stormed Xiangyang, you would die in the city, and only by using Xiangyang as a bargaining chip could I force you to be used by me." ”

The cold wind blew, exhaling like mist, and there was a slight coolness on the face, but there was a black cloak on the body, but it felt warm. Qu Gao said ashamedly: "How can Qu Gao be virtuous, General Lao is so careful?" ”

Shi Min said: "In the past, Cao Mengde was a probationary Guan Yunchang, a gold and silver beauty, an official and a general, and even gave him a famous horse and red rabbit, but in the end, he failed to include it under his command. Qu Lang people in Luoyang, but the heart is in Xiangyang, I know that one day, you will ride a white horse back to Xiangyang, and at that time, maybe this troubled world will end in another form. ”

Qu Gao listened quietly, he didn't know what the form Shi Min said, but he believed that Shi Min's vision might be as Shi Min said in the future, he could return to Xiangyang justifiably, but he didn't know when that day would come.
