Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 69 The war is stalemate
Sheng Changbai named a famous general in each of the three kingdoms of Zhou, Xia and Liao, who was also a leader among the younger generation of each country.

Zhuang Xuexue glanced at him meaningfully and said curiously:
"On weekdays, I don't see you doing anything but studying. When did you gain such insight?"

Li Liangzuo and Ye Luxinxian were not well-known in the Zhou Dynasty, and few people knew about them.

But Sheng Changbai was able to notice these two people and infer some things. It was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort.

"Sir, my student's knowledge is shallow. I only know a little bit about the two young generals of Liao and Xixia. It is difficult to go into details."

Sheng Changbai bowed respectfully.

Zhuang Xuexue nodded, "In addition to the already famous veterans, it is not easy for you to name two more."

After a pause, he looked at everyone and slowly said:

"If one day the three famous generals mentioned by Changbai compete against each other, who do you think will have a greater chance of winning?"

The voice just fell.

Qi Heng was deep in thought. Just when Sheng Changbai was about to answer, Ru Lan stood up impatiently and smiled at Old Master Zhuang and said:

"Of course it's General Zhongyong Bowei Yuanwei."

Xuexue Zhuang looked at her and asked curiously: "Why are you so sure?"

Rulan said seriously: "I don't know Mr. Yeluxin, but I have met General Wei. He is Minglan's uncle."

Xuexue Zhuang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Sheng Changbai bowed quickly and said, "My sister-in-law is ignorant and makes my husband laugh."

"From a student's perspective, if three people compete, no matter how you calculate it, it seems that Uncle Zhongyong has a greater chance of winning."

Minglan listened to them discussing her uncle and chose to remain silent.

Recently, she naturally heard about her uncle's confrontation with the famous Xixia general Ye Li Yuqi.

Maybe it's because of human-to-human transmission.

She sometimes felt that her uncle, whom she had not seen for almost a year, was living in a legend.

They really looked like those heroes recorded in history books.

As his niece, Minglan sometimes feels a little stressed.

I was afraid that in Bianjing City, where the powerful and aristocratic families gathered, if I didn't do something well enough, I would make others laugh or offend someone.

Let alone letting the Sheng family suffer, she was afraid that because of her, others would talk about her uncle again.

At this time, Zhuang Xuexue asked again: "Why are you so sure that Uncle Zhongyong has a greater chance of winning?"

After the Sheng family moved to the capital.

After Sheng Changbai saw the prosperity here, he was still able to stick to his original intention and study hard. It can be seen that his state of mind must have changed. He is much more mature than in previous years.

"Mr. Hui, there are many famous generals in the world, and they have been there for generations, but Wei Qing and Huo Qubing only have one in a thousand years."

"If Duke Di back then was Wei Qing, then General Wei would be Huo Qubing, who was the most brave among the three armies."

"If General Wei is here, there will be no worries on the border!"

These words were spoken from the bottom of his heart.

Because of Minglan's relationship, Sheng Changbai did a lot of research on Wei Yuan.

These conclusions are not reached on a whim.

In fact, after Sheng Changbai said these words, everyone's expressions did not change much.

After all, Sheng Changbai was very young at this time, and it was normal to admire heroes like Wei Yuan.

What's more, if Zhuang Xuexue hadn't said it was just child's play before, Sheng Changbai wouldn't be qualified to evaluate Wei Yuan now.

But if you have a mouth, you always have to let people speak.

To everyone's surprise, the great Confucian scholar of the time actually agreed with what Sheng Changbai said. He nodded and agreed:

"What Chang Bai said is reasonable. Uncle Zhongyong's achievements in the future are immeasurable, and he may even surpass Duke Di."

"We, the scholars, are able to study in such a comfortable environment thanks to those brave men who shed their lives and blood on the frontier battlefields."

"I don't hope that one day, the students I teach will not be like some sour scholars in the world, who only talk about the words "study is the only way to achieve success".

The words just fell. Qi Heng, Chang Feng, Minglan and others stood up one after another and bowed in unison.

"Study and teach, students will remember it in their hearts."

Afterwards, he watched Zhuang Xuexue leave here.

As soon as Zhuang Xuexue walked away, Rulan came to Minglan and said with a smile:

"I have been reading books with Zhuang Xueguo for so long, and I have never seen anyone praise him."

"Even when there was a discussion about the Grand Prime Minister of Han, Zhuang Xuexue just said 'very good'."

"But today, Zhuang Xuexue praised your uncle to the sky."

Minglan was ashamed, "How could it be that exaggerated? Zhuang Xuexue was just echoing the second brother's words."

the other side.

Sheng Changbai smiled and said: "Sixth sister, your uncle is a hero and deserves praise."

Zhuang Xuexue praised Wei Yuan mainly because he felt that with Wei Yuan here from now on, there would be no need to worry about the situation outside the customs, and students inside the customs could study with peace of mind.

Minglan nodded and said nothing more.

Qi Heng on the side said curiously:
"Sixth sister, Uncle Zhongyong is your uncle, but why do I rarely hear you mention it?"

Generally speaking, officials and officials like them.

Whenever a relative of any lineage becomes powerful, they want to talk about it every day.

How could he be like Minglan, who would just listen quietly and never say anything when Wei Yuan was being discussed.

Unless someone was rude and insulting her uncle, she would say a few words.

The rest gave people the feeling that Wei Yuan had nothing to do with her.

But as Zhang Guifen's relationship with Minglan became closer and closer.

Wei Yuan's marriage to the Zhang family and the fact that Zhang Guifen was Minglan's aunt became known to more and more people.

After clarifying the interpersonal relationships among them, many people suddenly realized it.

It turns out that the British government was not close to the Sheng family for the sake of the Sheng family.

It's for Wei Yuan's eldest sister and Wei Yuan's niece.

It has nothing to do with the Sheng family!

When Minglan heard Qi Heng's question, she stood up obediently and responded respectfully:
"Back to my young father-in-law, my uncle has been fighting abroad all year round. I know very little about it, so I dare not say much."

Qi Heng nodded thoughtfully and said to himself:
"I see. It's really commendable that Sixth Sister has such an uncle who never bullies others and relies on his favor to be arrogant."

If Mo Lan had a rich and powerful relative, he would definitely shout propaganda in the streets.

But Minglan was never like this.

Even sometimes, when I hear similar words like 'Uncle Zhongyong', I have to retreat.

She knew that her uncle loved and protected her.

That's why she didn't want to rely on her uncle's influence to do something or get to know someone.
-
Jiayou's third year, mid-April.

The weather is getting warmer, and there has just been another 'big battle' on top of Yanmenguan City.

We lost more than ten troops.

The enemy suffered hundreds of casualties.

As usual, the Xixia army retreated as soon as they touched the city wall or before they got close to the city wall.

Regarding this, Xu Changzhi said to Wei Yuan, not knowing whether he was happy or worried:

"Brother Wei, the news of your repeated victories against Yeli Yuqi will spread throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty."

"It's just that the enemy has been doing this again and again, which has almost worn out our army's patience. Now that the enemy is attacking again, the soldiers are just pretending and fooling around."

"If the Xixia Army's next attack is serious, wouldn't we fall into a passive position?"
