Seeing that Yu Wen Chenghua had already said this, Xiao Zhengye stopped mentioning the matter. In fact, after this battle, he did have the intention to quit. Countless old brothers died on the battlefield, and he also lost his left arm. Really

I no longer want to be an official.

He also discussed with Zhou Jingyao in advance. Although Chen Yue is still young and does not have enough qualifications, with several tough battles, Chen Yue's prestige among the Liangzhou frontier army is growing day by day, and he should be able to handle it as a Liangzhou general.

scene.

Zhou Jingyao also agreed with Xiao Zhengye's idea. He had seen Chenyue's growth step by step, and there was definitely no problem with his abilities. In addition, he had been partnering with Xiao Zhengye for many years, and seeing the tragic situation of Xiao Zhengye losing his arm, it was true that

I couldn't bear to let him struggle in the officialdom anymore, so it would be better to go home and enjoy the blessings.

Within the next two days, the city was filled with bursts of joy. After all, Yan Rong had retreated, and the people could breathe a sigh of relief.

The army brought by Yu Wenchenghua also began to pack their luggage and prepare for the division. The Youwei guards followed Yu Wenchenghua back to the capital, and the remaining soldiers from the Jiangnan states were brought back by the generals of each state.

The faces of the ordinary soldiers were filled with the joy of surviving a disaster. On the way here, they heard how great the Yan Rong barbarians were. They all thought they would definitely die outside the pass. Unexpectedly, most of them didn't even know how to face the barbarians.

When they saw it, they went home. They might even get a reward from the court. Everyone was extremely excited.

Despite his excitement, Yuwen Chenghua still did not forget to bring an old acquaintance, Nangong Yu, with him to the capital at this time. In contrast, wouldn't it make him look even more like the pillar of the country?

At Xue Leihan's residence, Chen Yue brought his three brothers to practice for him.

Xue Leihan specially asked the servants to prepare a sumptuous table of wine and food. The war had been pressing on her before, so it was rare for her to have a hearty drink. Before leaving, she would definitely get drunk with her brothers.

As the eldest brother, Chenyue sat in the first place under the strong suggestions of several people. He looked at Xue Leihan with a wine glass and said: "Today we brothers will practice it for you. We don't know when we can meet again. I wish you the best."

You have risen through the ranks, and you are a minister. Since you are not good at killing enemies on the battlefield, you should be better at officialdom than us, haha!"

Everyone laughed and drank a lot.

Chu Yucheng looked at Xue Leihan, who seemed to have something on his mind, and said, "What's wrong, Brother Xue, are you going back to Qingzhou or what?"

"No, I will go to the capital with the army first, meet my father, and then return to Qingzhou." Xue Leihan said nonchalantly.

Now Chenyue also saw that Xue Leihan seemed to have something on his mind, and immediately put down the wine glass in his hand. Looking at Xue Leihan, Xue Meng and the other two also put down their wine glasses, although he didn't notice anything.

Xue Leihan was stunned when he saw this, still looking hesitant.

Chenyue said: "Leihan, if you really think of us as brothers, just say so."

Xue Leihan straightened up and asked, "Brother, do you have any big ambitions?"

Do you have big ambitions in your chest? Xue Leihan asked this question once before, but he didn't make any sense. Today he asked it again, and Chen Yue was still a little dazed.

"My eldest brother is only twenty years old and has now reached the rank of fourth rank. When Yu Wenchenghua returns to the court, in a year or two at most, the position of general of Liangzhou of the third rank will definitely be in Brother Chen's pocket. What do you want?

? Guarding the border all your life? Watching batch after batch of comrades around you die in battle?" Xue Leihan looked straight at Chen Yue and asked.

Xue Leihan asked about the point. Is this what Chenyue wanted? No, I originally thought that joining the army would save some taxes for my family and save some money, so I could go home and marry Sister Ling'er and live a peaceful life.

It wasn't until he discovered that Liu Qiming, Nangong Muzhan and other wealthy family members could bully ordinary people at will, that he felt that only he had the strength to protect his family, so he kept going all the way up, but no matter which step he took, he would be successful.

Woolen cloth?

Even if he becomes the general of Liangzhou, he can at most protect his family. What about the hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou? How much can he protect? If the Yan Rong army attacks again and he cannot stop it, then people will still be in ruins.

?

Chenyue was completely confused. He found that he could not figure out how to have an ideal life no matter how hard he tried.

Xue Leihan saw Chen Yue deep in thought and knew that his words had awakened him, so he remained silent and waited aside.

Chu Yucheng also lowered his head silently and thought. He also thought of his beloved and the world.

"Brother Xue, please enlighten me!" Chen Yue stood up, looked at Xue Leihan seriously, and bowed slightly.

Xue Leihan quickly helped Chen Yue up and continued: "In today's world, I, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, cannot defend against enemies externally, and cannot allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment internally. The parties in the DPRK and China are constantly fighting against each other, and senior officials from aristocratic families do not seek political power in their positions.

, It is difficult for children from poor families to climb up in the officialdom, and those with ability are not reused. Children from aristocratic families only know how to drink and have fun, are arrogant and domineering, and bully good people. People in various states are in dire straits, and thieves are everywhere. Living in such a country, what can people in the world have?

What hope!”

The more Xue Leihan talked, the more excited he got, and in the end he got up and cursed angrily. He was in a big family and saw far more darkness than Chen Yue and others.

Chen Yue nodded with understanding. It was not that there was a problem with his thinking, but that there was a problem with the whole world.

Chu Yucheng also raised his head and asked: "But we can't do anything. Is it possible to kill all these people?"

"Why not? As long as we stand at the top of the world, we can kill all these corrupt officials. Manage the world according to our wishes, let everyone have food to eat, and let every household live a happy life.

, let every official be in a position that suits them to work for the benefit of the people." Xue Lei's cold words were shocking.

The four people in the room were all shocked. One word came to everyone's mind: rebellion.

Xue Meng stammered: "Is it possible, is it possible that we are going to rebel?"

"Ahem." Xue Leihan was choked by Xue Meng's words and coughed: "No, no, no, it's not a rebellion, it's just waiting for the world to be in chaos. We are waiting for the opportunity."

"The world is in chaos?" Chen Yue was puzzled.

Xue Leihan picked up a glass of wine and said confidently: "Now, chaos has arisen in the world. I can conclude that in as little as two years and as many as eight years, the world will be in chaos. By then we can wait for the opportunity to act. Liangzhou is rich in elite soldiers.

Strong generals, as long as you firmly hold this place, you will have the capital to fight for supremacy in the world, and it is not impossible to stand at the highest point in the world."

This is extremely disrespectful. If it reaches the ears of the emperor, the whole Xue family will be executed.

The four people in Chenyue looked at each other and suddenly realized that they suddenly felt that they saw a glimmer of light in front of the dark fog. Although they were a bit suspected of rebellion, this was indeed a goal that could be fought for.

Everyone drank and chatted all night, ranging from small things in the countryside to people in the world. Suddenly everyone had real ambitions.
