Chapter 1: Coming out of Zhen (three times) Warrior Yu was very happy that his superior did not reject the goodwill of the other two families. Whether it was General Xue or General Yuwen, it was not something that a small captain could offend. As long as the other party
With just a few tricks, Tiger Wing Battalion could once again face the risk of annihilation. Regarding gifts, he did not recommend that Li Xu spend too much. Li, Xue, and Yuwen were not short-sighted people who wanted to plunder from their subordinates to satisfy their own desires.
, when interacting with these people, gifts only represent an attitude, not their value itself.
Li Jiancheng likes the Hengdao given to him by Li Xu very much, although compared to any collection of Li family items, the Hengdao given by Li Xu is not on the market. "In fact, I, as an elder brother, should give you a gift to celebrate."
It's when you return from your injury!" The Prince of Tang Gong stroked the leather sheath of Heng Dao and smiled broadly. "I'm just giving you weapons. Nothing is sharper than your long black knife. I'm giving you horses. There is no second best in the whole army.
Black Wind! So, I’d better treat you to a drink and call Brother Liu up. There are several jars of Lanling craft beer given by the emperor at home. The three of us can find a clean place so we won’t get drunk!"
"Including me, four people drinking together will definitely be more lively than three people!" Li Shimin rushed out from behind the screen, protested loudly, and snatched the horizontal knife from Li Jiancheng's hand. He played with it twice carefully, and soon pouted again.
"There are gifts from eldest brother, and there are gifts for me and second sister. Brother Zhongjian will not forget both of us!"
"Nonsense, our family is not a corrupt official, there is no reason to ask for gifts from guests!" Li Jiancheng grabbed the Hengdao with his hands and scolded him with a smile.
"If I can receive a gift from Brother Zhongjian, it doesn't matter if I just become a corrupt official once!" Li Shimin responded smoothly.
"You're talking nonsense. I'm not afraid that dad will beat you with a stick if he hears it!" Li Jiancheng warned in a low voice.
"If dad knew about it, I would say it was your example and I was just following what my elder brother did!" Li Shimin counterattacked plausibly.
"..."
Li Xu has always been envious of the atmosphere of love between the two brothers. When the two had enough trouble, he picked up three small square boxes from beside him and handed them to Li Shimin. He said with a smile: "These three gadgets are for Shimin."
, Wan'er and Yuanji are both specialties from my hometown, let everyone see something new!"
"I'm not a child!" Li Shimin protested in a low voice. Obviously, he was more interested in the horizontal knife in his brother's hand than the gift box in his own hand. When he opened the first box, his eyes were immediately attracted by the "baubles" inside.
Attracted, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and joy filled his face.
Inside the box is a row of pottery figures, each about the size of a thumb, shaped into the appearance of former generals, officers, and soldiers. Each one of them is lifelike. What’s even more rare is that the surface of each pottery figure is painted red and green.
, yellow and three-color glaze, looks energetic, and has bright armor. If the pottery figures in each box are arranged by level, they can be arranged from general, general, hussar to captain, which just represents the officers and soldiers of the whole government.
"It's rare that they burn so vividly!" Li Jiancheng's eyes were also attracted by the pottery people, and he stepped forward and said
"You have no place here!" Li Shimin made a face to his brother, and made a gesture with his arms to protect his personal belongings. In his free time, he and Wan'er talked about war on paper, and always felt that it would be fun to go to the battlefield without real swords and guns. Now that he has
The Tao people can draw a field with their second sister to form a formation, with Goguryeo on one side and Sui Dynasty on the other. Each general represents a army of soldiers and horses, and a gang leader represents a group of soldiers. They come and go to determine the winner.
The pottery was bought by Li Xu before he left Shanggu County. Li Waner liked to collect strange and strange objects. He also unconsciously began to pay attention to the local specialties when buying them. He thought that when buying local specialties, he thought that people should not tell the right and wrong, so he gave Li Shimin and Yuanji each a gift.
Li Xu also felt happy when he saw that Li Shimin liked it. He pulled Tao Ren a few times and asked casually: "Where's Wan'er? Aren't you siblings inseparable every day? Why haven't you seen her today?"
"Second sister, I played too crazy the past few days. I was locked up in the backyard by my mother to be a female celebrity. I don't think she will be released. I will give Brother Zhongjian's gift to her in a while to save her from holding back her horns!"
Li Shimin answered casually and opened the other two boxes of pottery figures, comparing them and admiring them in the sun.
"Wan'er would be so happy if she knew that your brother, who is thousands of miles away, is still thinking of her!" Li Jiancheng stepped forward and patted Xu Zi on the shoulder, "Ignore their children's stuff, let's go have a drink. Today
You won’t come back until you’re drunk!”
"You won't come back until you're drunk!" Li Xu looked away from the pottery figurines, and his eyes were filled with smiles.
Even though Li Xu had a good drinker, he got drunk three times in three days. Once with Li Jiancheng, Liu Hongji and Li Shimin, once with the warrior Xun and other brothers in his camp, and the third time with Liu Hongji, old general Xue Shixiong and the two brothers of the Xue family.
He is a young man who is not very old, but is extremely brave and behaves generously and decently. Although everyone respects him, they inevitably look up to him a little at the wine table. They always regard him as the main target of toasts. Li Xu will drink as much as he can.
After several rounds of banquets, he has gained a reputation as a straightforward person.
No one saw the sadness in Xuzi's eyes when he lowered his head to the wine glass. People were keen to talk about his bravery when his horse rode on the company camp, and were happy to talk about his wit in killing the Goguryeo general with one arrow, but they all ignored that these were not young people at all.
The only thing he cared about most was the sophisticated Liu Hongji. He accidentally noticed that Li Xu's drinking capacity was not as good as before. On the way back from General Xue Shixiong's camp with them, he joked with a hint of drunkenness: "You seem to be drunk more easily than before. Could it be that you are suffering from it?"
After several injuries, have you reduced your drinking capacity?"
"I can't help it. Sometimes when I pick up the cup, I think of Lao Qi and the others!" Li Xu sighed and replied in a low voice in front of Liu Hongji. He couldn't hide it, and he didn't want to hide too much about the brothers who were drinking and messing around together that day.
Only Liu Hongji and Samurai Yu are left. Asahi doesn't want to lose any more friendships.
Liu Hongji was speechless. He knew that Li Xu valued friendship, which was one of the reasons why he insisted on bringing Li Xu to Tang Gong to seek wealth and wealth. But he did not expect that nearly half a year had passed, and the little brother was still brooding over the death of his companions.
This is not a good thing. Sometimes people cannot live too clearly. Thinking of this, Liu Hongji persuaded in a low voice: "Let the past things pass. No matter how sad you are, they can't come back to life. People have to move forward in life."
Look, besides, Tang Gong has already..." "If it's just to save General Xue, why should we pay more than three hundred brothers?" Li Xu shook his head gently, interrupting Liu Hongji's words. Tang Gong Li Yuan lives up to his benevolence and justice.
In the name of all the brothers in the grain protection army who buried their bones in Liaodong, he did his best to win posthumous glory for them. Among the more than 300,000 people who died in the Liaodong disaster last year, more than 300 brothers in the grain protection army were buried in Liaodong.
The proportion of names left behind is the highest, and the proportion of family members receiving pensions and commendations from the court is also the highest. But what can these make up for? Can the dead be revived? Li Xu can't believe it.
"Xu Zi, forget this, my son has already tried his best!" Liu Hongji stopped his horse and advised eagerly.
"I have never blamed brother Jiancheng. He is just a military commander. Even the old general Yu Wenshu can't stop things, and he can't stop them." Li Xu shook his head again, clarifying Liu Hongji's misunderstanding about him.
Li Jiancheng is a man who values friendship. He has apologized to Liu, Li and others many times in person for the burning of the pontoon. Li Xu has never blamed him. He agrees with Liu Hongji's evaluation of Li Jiancheng. "Zi Gu
He is not a quick-witted person! And when the incident happened suddenly, there was no staff around Li Jiancheng to plan for him. He who followed the rules could not have blocked General Wei's order by himself.
Li Xu didn't even blame Wei Wensheng for ruthlessly sacrificing hundreds of surviving soldiers to protect the entire land of western Liaoning. It was not a wrong choice for General Wei who was used to seeing death. Yu Wenshu was replaced by Li Yuan and even Liu Hongji.
In that position, everyone might make the same decision.
His Majesty the Emperor who ordered the bridge to be destroyed was not wrong, General Wei who carried out the task of destroying the bridge was not wrong, and the Prince Tang Gong who failed hundreds of his brothers was not wrong either. It was just those who died. Their status was too low. If they were
The blood of everyone in Zhongzhen is as noble as they usually boast, and there will be no fire on the two pontoons.
In other words, if General Yu Wenshu had not been demoted to serve the people, and if Minister Yu Wenkai of the Ministry of Industry had not waited for his death due to illness, General Wei would never have ordered the burning of two people, knowing that Yu Wenshu had hope of survival.
floating bridge
Xu Zi now only blames himself and the others for their poor fate. No one is a general or the nephew of any prince or nobleman. Since he returned to Liaoxi alive, he especially understands why the Xu family has tried its best to cultivate Xu Dayan into the hope of the family!
I especially understand why Xu Dayan’s lifelong ambition is to make his family rise to a truly wealthy family!
The truth in everyone's eyes is related to his location and personal experience. Everyone has his or her own version of the truth.
At this moment, the truth that Xuzi saw was: this world was designed for wealthy families, and the lives of ordinary people's descendants were humble, and no one cared about their deaths.
"Xu Zi, you have to adapt slowly!" Liu Hongji sighed and taught earnestly.
"Yeah!" Li Xu replied in a low voice. Liu Hongji once said that many rules in this world are unreasonable, but you don't have the strength to change them, so you must learn to adapt. Otherwise, apart from hurting yourself, there will be no consequences.
Other results Li Xu knew that he realized it relatively late, but now that he had realized it, he tried to do it and tried to adapt to the invisible rules.
"I'm just a little sad! I will try my best to adapt!" When he was approaching the gate of the military camp, Li Xu raised his head and gave Liu Hongji a frank smile.
