My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 260 What I Want in Life (End of this Volume)
September 25, early autumn, the temperature is even hotter.

The three armies of Bingzhou, Yizhou and Xiliang who had recovered the three states frequently reported successes. According to the news, the Xiliang army also encountered a force of nearly [-] soldiers and horses from the Liang State. Both sides sent two battalions to test. There was no victory or defeat, and it all relied on Ma Chao's Xiqiang cavalry to attack the flanks and force the opponent back.

In Sui and Qing states in the south, Zhang Liao, the Bingzhou army, defeated a Wu army of [-] soldiers and horses exploring the road. The latter directly tightened their defenses and did not dare to act rashly.

On the Suizhou side, Guan Yu fought vigorously and regained half of Suizhou in full swing. In the last battle report sent back, Guan Zhang continued to advance south to deter the Yue army that landed in the south of Suizhou.

A series of good news made Luyang, located in the center of the Central Plains, peaceful and peaceful. After the war, traders still frequently traveled between Shangluyang and Shang, Gan, Hui, Guangji and other states, and the previous prosperity flourished again.

The fields allocated to the officers and soldiers of each army have been repaired and concentrated houses have been built for them in Luyang. The soldiers and generals of each army have gone to Xinbei to inform their wives, children and children at home that soon an escort team will be organized there to drag their families with them. He came to Luyang to settle down.

The people of this land are also in a lively atmosphere at this time. The first batch of pilot schools in Luyang City have been closed, and the teachers are all scholars from poor families. In the few days before the opening of the school, many common people in the city and those in humble professions People came in droves to sign up, and for a while, many streets were overcrowded.

And all this is due to Zhuge Liang presiding over the rear, advancing the tedious steps one by one.

As for the batch of Confucian scholars who were dealt with in early September, Lu Yang's advancement of Yanwen became smoother, and it seems that Su Chen, the Xia King, compromised, and the nobles stopped making any moves.

Everything seemed so calm, but on Su Chen's side, the two cavalry had been expanded to the extreme. Lu Bu's string-controlling wolf cavalry had reached five thousand, and Zhao Yun's white horse righteousness suddenly expanded from four thousand cavalry, almost reaching Su Chen's ability. The limit of support.

Three thousand Tang troops are being formed and have not yet been officially assigned a banner, but the formation is not slow. The two veteran generals Qin Qiong and Zhang Yu have a sharp eye and select many veterans from among the prisoners. The basic skeleton has been built. Every day they will Provide training to these surrendered soldiers, as well as the guidance of the supervisory cavalry who came in from Su Chen's side.

"...The Governor's Cavalry was created by Gu, and every battalion must have one in the future." Su Chen and Jia Xu were sitting on the carriage, looking through the raised curtains at the three thousand newly built soldiers and horses in the distance. Dozens of people sat in small circles on the ground, quietly listening to a general in leather armor talking to them.

The autumn skylight shone on his face, which was a bit dazzling. Su Chen poured a cup of tea and took a sip, "Zhongshu Ling, do you understand why this is?"

The old man beside him was quiet and peaceful. He also took a sip from the tea cup.

"It prevents the generals from becoming powerful and lets the soldiers below know who they are fighting for. Even if the generals are suddenly killed or lose contact with the central formation, these governor cavalry will stabilize the morale of the army."

"Hehehe..." Su Chen put down the teacup, stood up and walked out of the carriage curtain. He stood on the carriage. Because he was practicing "Martial God Gang Qi", his body was a little taller and more powerful than before. He looked at the people listening in front of him. The new army laughed: "Zhongshu Ling guessed it almost exactly. In this way, he is much better than the supervising team."

Immediately, he narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "There will be more people like this in the military camp in the future. I am not worried about my Chinese generals, but I am guarding against future generals. After all, everyone has selfish motives. If I, a Chinese general, It's okay to be on the sidelines. If they lead the army alone, it would be troublesome if they harbor old grudges in their hearts and lead the army to defect on the battlefield. But right now, if there are governor cavalry who teach and educate the soldiers every day, the soldiers at the bottom will The mind is simple, and once the idea is solid, it can not only quickly gather the morale of the army, but also put people at ease."

Su Chen turned his face slightly, looked at the old man in the carriage, and raised his finger.

"There are still a lot of Wei armors and weapons in stock here in Luyang. We will wait a few days to select some and distribute them to the new army."

He paused and sat down in the chariot. He bent one leg, put his hands on his knees, and leaned against the door frame. "It's hard work. It's not like we just raised troops from Ding'an City and fought all the way to Yanjing." , now that the Northland and the Central Plains are connected, and the people's livelihood and the army have to take care of it, I finally understand that the emperor is really not that easy to be."

Jia Xu looked at this young man who numbered ten, with a slight smile on his face: "These noble people in the Central Plains, Xu will wait until the king has finished handling the affairs in the north before taking action against them."

"Haha, when the time comes, I will be surprised to see Shu Ling's tricks." Su Chen leaned against the car door frame and laughed, "However, I don't worry about failure, so what if I fail, I still have you, and they are a bunch of clowns That’s all.”

In the bright sky, the gentle breeze blew slowly to bring some coolness. The voices of the soldiers over there were buzzing and noisy, and in the distance, a horse came from the north at an extremely fast speed.

Su Chen also noticed. He raised his hand. Wu Zixun raised his chin towards the knights on the side. Several knights galloped out, intercepted the fast horse in front of him, exchanged a few words with him, and led him away. Go to the carriage guarded by soldiers.

"Little one, meet the king!"

The fast horse was not an imperial horse. It was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he recognized Su Chen at a glance. He took out a folded letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Wu Zixun took it from his hand, straightened out the letter, turned and walked to the carriage, and handed it into Su Chen's hands.

"Are you a servant of the Fang family?" Su Chen did not rush to open it, but stared at the person who delivered the message.

"Yes! I have met the king twice in Yunzhen." The man was kneeling on the ground. Although he had some knowledge, his hands and feet were trembling as he faced the powerful and powerful men around him.

Su Chen lowered his gaze, tore open the letter in his hand, took out the letter paper inside and unfolded it. When he saw the writing on it, there was a coldness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Jia Xu felt the change in Su Chen.

"Back to the city."

Su Chen put the letter into his sleeves, stood up and walked into the carriage. The soldier driving the carriage jumped up, shook the reins, and shouted: "Drive!" The six horses pulling the carriage stepped forward and turned the carriage around. The soldiers guarding him were led by Dian Wei, and they changed their formations to escort the king towards Xuanchun Gate in Luyang.

Along the way, Su Chen's orders were heard from time to time in the carriage, and riders were constantly ordered to turn around and leave.

"Let Yi Dao rush to notify Dong Zhuo and Ma Chao of the Xiliang Army who are conquering Meizhou to strictly guard Meizhou, Zhang Liao of the Bingzhou Army, and Guan Yu of the Yizhou Army, and let them continue the attack and drive the troops of Wu and Yue out to the north of the Huaijiang River, where They formed a line of defense, and then sent someone to notify Xia Houyuan of the Qingzhou Army to settle in Luyang and preside over all operations here together with Prime Minister Zhuge. In addition, Zhao Yun of the Youyan Army, Lu Bu of the String Controlling Wolf Cavalry, Anuhu of the Raw Slave Army, and Xinjian The three thousand soldiers and horses, led by Qin Qiong and Zhang Yu, are ready to go north." The last batch of cavalry left, Su Chen looked at Jia Xu on one side, "Zhongshu Ling, can you follow me to the north to have a look?"

"Can Xu just let go and do something?" Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled. There was a faint hint of excitement in his eyes as he spoke lightly: "Haha, Xu has never seen what the barbarians on the grassland look like."

Su Chen nodded, touched the letter in his sleeve, and remained silent.

The wheels rolled and drove towards the city. Soon they entered the imperial palace and went straight to the ancestral temple to tell everyone that the emperor's body was about to go north.

"Immortal, Gu and Xuande stay."

When Cao Cao appeared and landed, Liu Bei also stood beside him, "Don't worry, Changsheng, go north, just leave Bei and Mengde in the Central Plains."

"you……"

Before Su Chen could finish speaking, Cao Cao suddenly took out a token and said, "This is given to you by His Majesty Han Wu. Fight Xirong, fight well, and don't let down His Majesty Han Wu's high hopes."

On that token, it was clearly written: the word Huo.

"I haven't unlocked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, can I still use his token?" Su Chen touched the golden token and looked at Cao Cao with some surprise. Then his eyes fell on the tribute table over there, where the soul of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che stood lifelessly. There, nothing happens.

"Longevity, no need to worry."

With a smile on his face, Cao Cao pressed Su Chen's shoulder, "This token can only be used once. It will dissipate after being used. Fight well and don't let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty down. Remember, we and other Chinese ancestors are optimistic about it." your."

When Su Chen heard what he said and looked at the tablet of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the indifferent smile on Liu Bei's face, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He walked to the futon, knelt down, and bowed three times toward the top and Cao Cao and Liu Bei opposite him.

Then, he took a deep breath, turned around and strode out, returned to the dormitory, and began to prepare for going north. Yang Yuhuan and Fang Xuejun came over after hearing that they were going back to the north.

Su Chen asked Yang Yuhuan to help him put on the armor, while looking at the letter on the table with Fang Xuejun.

"It was written by Grandpa... The battle at Yantang Pass is urgent and we must go back."

The woman picked up the letter and slowly opened it. When she saw the writing on it, she covered her mouth and cried softly.

"... I have a lot to ask for in this life, seeking fame and fortune, seeking to expand the territory, seeking to leave a name in history. I think I am righteous, but in fact I have wasted half my life, being a rotten scholar in the city, busy with the family business, tired of fame, and forgetting the teachings of the saints. , how is it different from merchants?

Changsheng got angry and started a war, I was ashamed of it, but along the way, Changsheng went through thorns and thorns, and I felt ashamed. It was hard to distinguish between good and bad in my heart. Changsheng ran for the ideals in his heart at the expense of his own life, and expanded his territory. What I, the people from the north, wish for is to live forever and make a difference.

I have wasted my life, obsessed with fame and fortune, and the dreams in my heart have never been realized. The war at Yantang Pass has resumed. In a short period of time, I have experienced the pain of separation, seen the miserable life and death of the people, and feel heartbroken for the thousands of lives in this country. , it’s too late to remember what Confucians like us should do.

When Changsheng receives this letter, maybe I am no longer here. It is not a pity that I can have such a clear understanding when I am dying.And the road to immortality is still long and full of thorns..."

At this point in the letter, the handwriting has become blurry, and you can only make out the following paragraph: "... Yun Zhenfu Confucianism Fang Wenye respectfully wishes the king a victory and sweeping away the world."

The last word: Ye Shu.

Tears fell on the paper. Fang Xuejun trembled slightly and suppressed her cry. Su Chen held her in his arms. The stubborn and chivalrous woman in the past finally burst into tears.

"Go north, let's go back and fight the Xirong people."

Su Chen patted her back gently. He looked out the window at the scenery of the courtyard. As he said this, he seemed to see the stubborn old man in his mind, standing in front of the bookcase, standing in the swaying light, holding a brush, struggling writing.

It's that vague section.

... I was stumbled by fame and fortune, and I was stubborn and refused to look back; I was misled by the fine wine in the cup, and I flattered myself that I had no talent; only when I got older did I gradually understand that I was just deceiving myself and others, and I did not dare to look back and face the self who was once full of ambition and ideals. .

If you live forever and have the world in mind, please rule the world... Don't let Feng Yue down.
