Ming Zuo

Chapter 270 Twenty years ago
In March of Yangchun, the warm wind blows lightly, as if the south of the Yangtze River is welcoming people.

In the bright sunshine, everyone didn't want to be trapped in the cabin, and came out one after another to look at the scenery between the sky and the earth.

After passing Anshan Lake, the aura between heaven and earth is particularly obvious, and even Wang Siyi can feel the difference.

"Why is it so lifeless everywhere?"

Zuo Menggeng pointed to the shambling figure in ragged clothes in the world on both sides of the strait, and said meaningfully: "Humans are the greatest creatures in the world. If even people can't feel the joy of life, the world will naturally lose its vitality."

The north of Anshan Lake is the territory of the New Army, and the New Deal has already been implemented.

People here live a stable life, have ample food and clothing, and are full of natural vitality.But in other places, people are still living in dire straits, and survival has become their greatest luxury.

If it weren't for a few touches of green between the sky and the earth, I'm afraid the scene would be even more desolate.

Zuo Menggeng took Xu Ruolin's hand and walked to the bow, and said softly: "Miss Xu Ruolin, you will become Mrs. Zuo once you leave. How about it, are you mentally prepared?"

Xu Ruolin couldn't help savoring the novel title.

But when it comes to married life, Xu Ruolin can't help but confide in her heart.

"When my sister got married, the family was very busy. I was still young, and I couldn't help much, and I didn't know the mood of getting married. Now, I don't know what's wrong, I'm always in a panic."

Of course Zuo Menggeng understood how she felt.

"When people come from a familiar environment to live in an unfamiliar environment, there will always be a certain degree of panic. At this stage, it will take a certain amount of time to adapt. But don't worry, with me by your side, I will make you the happiest person in the world woman."

Xu Ruolin grew up so big, when did she hear such love talk?

People in this day and age are not so open even if they were raised in a Christian family.

But after all, women are born for love. Hearing such a straightforward show of love, although Xu Ruolin was flustered, she was quite intoxicated.

She looked up, looked at Zuo Menggeng's sharp-edged face, and couldn't help asking: "Is this your oath?"

Zuo Menggeng raised his hand.

"Heaven and earth can learn from it."

Xu Ruolin was not satisfied, she thought for a while, and asked Zuo Menggeng a difficult problem: "Then write a poem to prove your sincerity."

Zuo Menggeng couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

In a hurry, how can I think of any suitable poems?
However, the beautiful scenery on a good day and the expectations of a beautiful woman cannot disappoint people.

Fortunately, he was clever enough to let Xu Ruolin stand on the bow of the boat, facing forward.

"Open your arms and try it out. Do you have the feeling of flying against the wind?"

Xu Ruolin had never done this before, and out of curiosity, she couldn't help but try it.

When the arms are open, the river under the feet recedes rapidly, and the head-on breeze blows the hair tips and skirts, it really gives birth to a wonderful feeling of flying away.

Just when she was intoxicated, she felt Zuo Menggeng hugging her waist from behind.

In broad daylight, such an intimate act really made Xu Ruolin flustered.Just as he was about to make a move, Zuo Menggeng's whispering singing sounded in his ears.

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us...

The language I don't understand, the style of music I heard for the first time, for some reason, is more intoxicating than this spring breeze.

Xu Ruolin only felt that she was surrounded by comfortable warmth, completely relaxed from body to heart, and would rather never get out of this lingering situation for the rest of her life.

Until Zuo Menggeng finished singing a song, she didn't want to wake up for a long time.

"What song is this? Why can't I understand it?"

Xu Ruolin thought she knew many languages, but she was completely unfamiliar with Zuo Menggeng's singing.

"It's English."

Surrounding Xu Ruolin, forming a world of its own at the bow of the boat, Zuo Menggeng is also extremely greedy.

"What are you singing about?"

"My heart will go on..."

Seeing Xu Ruolin's confused eyes, Zuo Menggeng explained again in Chinese.

"my heart Will Go On!"

Xu Ruolin's hand tightened suddenly, and she took the initiative to hold Zuo Menggeng together.

Is my heart eternal?
Me too.

"Zhongheng, you've arrived in Xuzhou. Ouch, don't look at evil..."

Huang Zongxi's voice suddenly sounded from behind, and he avoided it in a panic.

Both you and me panicked and separated quickly.Xu Ruolin didn't even have time to say anything, she ran back to the cabin with her head down.

Zuo Menggeng was really furious.

"Huang Taichong, you go to bed when you have nothing to do, why are you here making trouble?"

Huang Zongxi is talented.

"In broad daylight, how decent is it for the two of you to hug each other? You got married in less than a month, why bother?"

Zuo Menggeng said contemptuously: "What do you know about emotional appeal?"

When Huang Zongxi was about to say something, Liu Zongzhou and others walked over talking and laughing.

"Zhongheng, look, this is Xuzhou."

Liu Zongzhou came to the front and looked at the looming Xuzhou City in the distance, feeling a lot of emotion.

"The Huaihai Sea is in the east, the Central Plains is in the west, the Jianghuai River is in the south, and Qilu is in the north. Since ancient times, whoever wins Xuzhou wins the world. There is no better foundation than this."

During the time of traveling south, Chen Zilong and others have been following Liu Zongzhou for advice.

These scholars who have read the history books are even more eloquent when they talk about this.

Xia Yunyi shook his head and said: "To guard the river, you must guard the Huai River, and to guard the Huai River, you must guard the Xu. It can be said that whoever controls Xuzhou controls the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River. The southeast must be in the bag and can be taken at any time."

Chen Zilong also said: "The imperial court has not deployed heavy troops in Xuzhou for a long time. Once something happens in the two Huaihe Rivers, there will be turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River. We must worry about it."

When Zuo Menggeng heard this, he not only laughed.

"Everyone, Xuzhou is not that important."

This time everyone was unhappy, even Liu Zongzhou felt that he was talking nonsense.

"From ancient times to the present, Xuzhou has always been an important place for military strategists. General Zuo is a famous general in the world, how can he not know?"

Song Zhengyu's words were inevitably provocative.

They did not receive any preferential treatment in Linqing, so they were quite upset.I got a chance today to find some places again.

Zuo Menggeng didn't know how to complain about these paper talkers.

"Since the two Huaihe Rivers are so important, why did Cao Cao go to the Red Cliff when he went south? When the Yuan Dynasty attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, why did they choose Xiangyang? Why didn't they go all the way south, go straight to Yangzhou, and drink horses in the Yangtze River?"

Three consecutive questions, one sharper than the other, directly silenced the scholars.

What Zuo Menggeng said were all famous battles in history.

Since guarding the Yangtze River must guard the Huaihe River, why did the northern regime choose to start from other places instead of fighting for the two Huaihe Rivers when it went south?

All the scholars didn't want to admit defeat, so they all thought about it silently, trying to find a reason to refute Zuo Menggeng.

However, they are really just keyboard warriors. Once real military knowledge is involved, they are immediately caught blind.

Zuo Menggeng didn't care about them, looked at Xuzhou City, which was far away, and Huang Zongxi at the side, rolled his eyes, and thought of some interesting things.

He asked Fu Yusun to hand over a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a paragraph.

"Tai Chong, are you from Zhejiang?"

Huang Zongxi was puzzled.

"You don't know."

"Can you speak Zhejiang dialect?"

"nonsense."

Zuo Menggeng hurriedly handed over the paper in his hand.

"I finally came to Xuzhou once, and you read this text in your native dialect to understand my long-cherished wish. I am very grateful."

Huang Zongxi was overjoyed and asked, "You have made another masterpiece?"

Zuo Menggeng's occasional verses made everyone admire and admire.But when I begged him to produce the whole work, he always evaded.

Everyone knows that he is quite talented, but why can't he get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Menggeng would reveal himself on his own initiative today.

But when Huang Zongxi took it over and took a look, his face was unavoidably a little green.

I saw on the paper:

【I don't understand why everyone is talking about Xiang Yu being trapped in Gaixia?It seems that this ancient battlefield in the Central Plains is doomed to us.Twenty years ago, I embarked on a journey from Xuzhou and started the second Northern Expedition, and the Chinese begonia leaves were unified.Wherever the party and the army go, the people wholeheartedly welcome them. It can be said that they have the best time, and the state of vigorous vitality and all things competing is still in sight.Twenty short years later, has this place changed into my burial place? 】

"WTF?"

Huang Zongxi felt that he was being entertained, so he threw the paper back.

"Hey, you don't know, this is a classic. Come on, just read it."

Zuo Menggeng didn't give up, and kept pestering him.

"Don't do it, definitely don't do it."

Seeing the two quarreling, Liu Zongzhou was quite concerned and took the paper.After watching it, it is also inexplicable.

"Zhongheng, what is the mystery of this passage? Why does it seem so unlucky?"

Zuo Menggeng winked.

"The teacher doesn't know something, this is the greatest comedy in the world."

Huang Zongxi instinctively felt that Zuo Menggeng had bad intentions, so he was not fooled at all.Pointing at him angrily, complaining endlessly.

"The bigger the Zuo Zhongheng official, the narrower the people are, and they look like no one."
