Chapter 208 The Lone Hero

I am a cautious person, especially when it comes to choosing friends. No matter who you are, you will always have a few friends in your life, more or less, depending on the person. Friends is a broad term, and everyone has "friends" in their hearts.

'This word has different definitions, grades, and categories, and it also varies from person to person.

We had only met a few times, and they chatted happily and became friends. This kind of friend is the most common. When we get up with three or two bottles of wine, we go to entertainment venues arm in arm and have fun together.

I had so much fun that I almost forgot about it when I went back to sleep after playing. If we don’t see each other for a long time, we may forget each other. There is no psychological burden to make such friends, and we have nothing to ask for from each other. They are just for fun, and there is no friendship.

The relationship between them is better than an 'acquaintance', for example, the 999-year-old ginseng brother, a very nice guy, I will definitely invite him to drink next time we meet.

There are also like-minded friendships, which are formed in the process of striving for the same goal. At best, they are revolutionary comrades, but at worst, they are like-minded. If there are no storms among such friends, the friendship will be stronger and often last a lifetime.

In friendship, we can trust each other in general matters. During festivals and festivals, no matter how far apart we are, we still have to ask someone to send a message to say we are safe. When we are older, we have children and in-laws, etc., which are peaceful friends. Many such friendships cannot survive.

There are twists and turns. Once the situation changes, after measuring the value, it is very common for friends to betray each other. The so-called knowledgeable people are not considerate. This is what it is like. But this does not mean that this kind of friends cannot be made. Most people will spend their entire lives.

It's hard to encounter this kind of storm here. Most people from small families live a stable life, so making this kind of friends is considered reliable. Although Cui Zhang and I are not like-minded, we can still be classified into this category.

Here, we get along happily, and the two families have relatively frequent contacts. If there is any slight disturbance, they will let each other know, and they can help each other, but they will never get to know each other.

For example, if my business suffers a loss and is difficult to turn around for a while, that's no problem. The Cui family will definitely jump in to help me before the Cheng and Qin families do, and they will do their best; but if the Wang family offends a powerful person,

Political group. If someone wants to take advantage of me, the Cui family will never stand with the Wang family. If necessary, they will definitely draw a clear line or directly attack me. In the same way, if the Cui family is in trouble, the Wang family will do the same.

As for Qin Yu and Cheng Chu, there are also differences. Qin Yu is now the head of the Qin family and is my student. He has a very special relationship with me. He can't escape his involvement when something happens to me, and I will be implicated when something happens to him. We have already known each other.

It's not an agreement, it's a life-long friendship. Regardless of whether they get along in the future or whether they have differences in opinions. The Qin and Wang families have become allies and can only advance and retreat together. Qin Yu looks easy-going, but his temper is actually much more delicate than ordinary people.

I am very happy to form an alliance with such people who have a good view of the overall situation. They are calm and not panicked when encountering difficulties. It is safe to form an alliance with such people.

Cheng Chu is different. Although he is also my student, he has a powerful grandfather to protect him. Even if something goes wrong, he will always come to Mr. Cheng to argue with him. No matter what, it will not be my turn. And if something goes wrong with me, then...

It’s much easier to handle. When something happens to the teacher, students can’t stand by and watch. The student’s grandfather has to help me no matter what he says. I take advantage of everything, so when I’m with Cheng Chu, I’m very happy.

Now this Dugufu suddenly posted, which caught me off guard. For some reason, I was subconsciously wary of this person, from his appearance to his thoughts. Lanling's nephew, the eldest son of Princess Ankang, is known as a generation with both civil and military skills.

Handsome guy. Different from Cui Zhang's beauty, Dugu Fu is masculine, but my sixth sense tells me that there is a sinister coolness underneath this masculinity, but I am unwilling to refuse in my heart. The risks are directly proportional to the benefits.

, who knows when we will be able to take advantage of each other? It is very challenging to interact with such people.

The bottom line, if the two families are in contact, they need to know each other's details. The Wang family is now small and powerful, and there is nothing to get entangled with. I just rely on my reputation in the dandy circle to get around. Maybe I have some friendship with a few big guys, and anyone can do it.

Just say a few words, it's like a treasure. But the Dugu family is different. After asking around, I took a deep breath. I thought I had seen all kinds of people since I came to the Tang Dynasty, but the legendary history of the Dugu family shocked me.

Surprisingly, it can be said that the strongest has its own strong hand, and every mountain is higher than the next.

Dugu Fu's father's name is "Dugu Mou". This name sounds gloomy, so it's okay for Dugu. No one wants to talk to you, and while Dugu is cool, he still plots, and plots powerfully. This is not a strategy.

"Conspiracy" means "conspiracy" for rebellion! What is the crime of rebellion these days? The second daughter's family is a living example. What kind of power is the Fang family? What is the identity of Princess Gaoyang? Uproot her without any ambiguity.

But people are so irritating, Dugu Mou also plotted rebellion, and was no less noisy than Princess Gaoyang, and was even close to succeeding. At the critical moment, Dugu Mou discovered that he had a flaw, a very fatal flaw, and once he failed, it would be irreversible. So the dramatic

The scene unfolds. After weighing the situation, Dugu Mou immediately brought order to the chaos and wiped out all his revolutionary comrades single-handedly. The annihilation was to leave no one alive, and no one was left alive. Then he resolutely returned to the embrace of the Li family. What is sincerity, is the truth.

To be honest, if you don’t hide your involvement in the rebellion, and the leaders of the rebellion have returned to the West, it’s easier to talk about it. Mission: Impossible, what a wonderful story, what a heroic deed, what a thrilling plot, what a wonderful place.

Princess Ankang, this kid got it all. From then on, the Dugu family kept a low profile. I heard that Dugu Mou himself is a super action star with unrivaled elegance and superb martial arts. Before marriage, he had constant scandals with many high-level ladies, but since he became a married woman

She immediately stopped her activities and devoted herself to raising her wife and children at home, becoming a good nanny. She never appeared in public for twenty years, and gradually disappeared from people's sight, slowly forgotten, until she was obliterated by history.

I don't know how to describe my admiration, I just want to go and see this ruthless, strategic, martial arts, and handsome senior right away. Although I know that I will never reach this level in my life, I still care about beautiful people.

There is always a yearning for things, just like girls like Andy Lau, the handsome guy Dugu is the unique idol in my heart!

"You look very yearning for me." After Lanling told the inside story, he realized that something was wrong with me. "It has happened for decades, and few people really know the inside story. I only heard what they said in private. At that time,

I'm still young, so adults don't avoid me when they talk."

"Have you met your brother-in-law?"

"Yes." Lan Ling nodded, "But having said that, Princess Ankang is indeed the best among the sisters. Dugumou had many romantic affairs when he was young, but after getting married, he stayed at home and cared a lot for my sister.

Both husband and wife are talented in literature and live a comfortable life."

"Are you envious?" Seeing the strange brilliance in Lan Ling's eyes, he asked curiously: "Isn't it heart-wrenching to live with such a man? Listening to the tragedy you just described. That guy didn't care about any friendship when he fell out.

All the old, young, women and children were left alive, so many people were infiltrated."

"My father always valued him when he was alive. He just killed a lot of people, so there is no friendship or friendship." Lan Ling glanced at me and said worriedly: "To be honest, you are very similar to Dugu Mou in many places. You seem lazy, but in your heart you are lazy.

Calculate everything clearly and clearly assign superiors and inferiors. Only this kind of people do not care about friendship and never hesitate to make a move when it is time to let go. Others cannot see through you, but I know it best."

"Nonsense, I'm not this kind of person. How old am I? I haven't even passed the age of twenty-one. I'm so slanderous."

"You just don't admit it. You can't help yourself at the critical moment," Lan Ling sat down in front of me. "You are not bound by morals and orthodoxy. The only thing that is different from Dugu is that you have no ambition. Once someone like you exists

Ambition, when you set goals for yourself, is a disaster."

"Disaster? Because I know how to make an abacus?" Lan Ling's words are interesting. I don't think I have the ability to become a disaster. "It's an exaggeration. Maybe it's a bit selfish, but it's not as powerful as you said. What can I do? I'm useless.

I'm just a lazy guy, and I can't even ride a horse steadily when I go out. I don't have the body to fight and kill, and I don't have the brain to be useful in scheming, so I'm so proud."

"You're being modest," Lan Ling saw what I said was pitiful, and laughed and said, "Are you afraid of us talking to each other? I don't know what you mean by being so cautious all day long. Why don't you be a free person? People of your age are not

It should be like this. Didn't you say you were just watching the scenery? It doesn't matter. If the front calms down this time, I plan to go out for a walk. You accompany me."

"Don't come here. You like to walk. I don't want to suffer so much with you. Let me tell you first. I can't get out of Tongguan. I can't go up to Qishan. I can't go up to Luochuan on the left. I can't go up to the Weihe beach on the right!" He went out with Lanling.

, she has such a good physique and can jump up and down easily. I am half-dead following her and want to live for two more years to enjoy the rest of my life.

"Hmph, it won't be up to you then!" Lan Ling opened his eyes and smiled, "Have you been to Luoyang? I haven't been there yet..."

"Don't go! As the commander of the Zuowu Guard March, it is a serious crime to leave one's post without permission. Don't think that if General Su on the front line resists me in Hamchuan, it will stop. This battle has just begun!" He walked to the sand table resolutely, majestic and vigorous.

He opened the cloth with great enthusiasm and said, "As a backbone of the army, I have to fulfill my responsibility. Look, the Tibetan offensive is fierce now. If we divide our troops along the Chiyue River and go north, around..."

"Okay, what are you pretending to be?" Lan Ling angrily grabbed it back for me and beat it a few times, "You're doing the same trick from the military department again, are you tired? You know that you and I can't get involved at all now.

I'm wasting Tibetan food, so it's proper for you to make your own toilet water!"

"I haven't come to you yet about the fact that you deceived the fourth child of our family a few days ago." Lanling ran to discuss with the fourth child about opening a branch factory. I don't know what kind of promise he made, but such a shrewd man as the fourth child actually agreed to open a branch factory every year.

According to the internal government, a discount of 3% will be returned after completing the scheduled sales. It makes me feel sad to hear it. "Next time you dare to bully an honest person with what you learned from me, I will... Well, you are not allowed to fight back."

"Go, stop bluffing." Lan Ling saw me raising my hand and leaned over provocatively, "The fourth child has set the sales volume for us so high. No matter how big Tubo is, it may not be able to complete the quota. It is now in the inner palace.

He traveled all the way to sell goods to Japan, do you know how far it is?"

"Ah? In the past, at least one ship would have to be capsized to transport two shipments of goods. Why sell it so far away?" Although making money from Japan sounds very satisfying, the risk is too high and it is not economical.

"It's enough to pull Baekje, and then go rowing to Japan with melon seeds. There are Japanese merchants over there in Baekje." Lanling had the upper hand in doing business for the first time, and looked at me triumphantly, "It's a hot fight over there, Baiji."

Ji didn’t make much money, but when Japan became rich, it was very popular.”

"That's good. I'll go to Zuowuwei tomorrow morning. It's always been very busy, and I'm ready to quit my job."

Ever since the first military report from Su Dingfang, I have never lived a comfortable and peaceful life. First, the Tuyuhun cavalry made several condescending charges and caught Tuyuhun off guard. It cost more than 10,000 casualties to barely slow down the Tuyu advance.

However, the speed of the ground did not last long. The five thousand men who had just been supported were divided into dumplings by the Tubo troops along the river before they responded to the challenge. They formed a pincer attack on the main force of Tuyuhun and continued to attack the Tang army at the two passes.

Harassment and invasion made it difficult for the Tang army to support them.

Su Dingfang resolutely gave up the pass on the east bank of the river and retreated to Xianchuan to set up defenses. The name Zheng Hong appeared for the first time in the military newspaper. Zheng Hong personally led 3,000 light cavalry along the mountain road and attacked directly behind the Tibetan branch. Three thousand against sixty thousand. He unexpectedly surrendered.

Zheng Hong pried open the gap, and cooperated with Tuyuhun's defeated troops to hold on for three days at the gap. After Tuyuhun's large army withdrew safely, he led more than a thousand remaining troops to continuously attack three Tubo camps, effectively containing Tubo.

The pursuers used the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers who died in the pass to gain valuable space for Tuyuhun's main force to retreat.

After the two armies joined together, Su Dingfang took advantage of the rare geographical advantage in Xianchuan and cooperated with the Tuyuhun cavalry. He took the initiative to attack for two consecutive days and pushed back the Tubo forward troops for more than a hundred miles in one fell swoop. They were all annihilated on the river beach. This battle was annihilated.

With nearly 20,000 enemies, the main force of Tibet was finally temporarily blocked on the other side of the river. Tuyuhun took advantage of this respite to start a large-scale recruitment campaign for all the people. However, there was no news about Zheng Hong, the biggest contributor in this series of events.

"What a powerful guy." Dugufu clasped his hands with a look of regret on his face and said, "There's no road. It's surrounded by mountains. How could he get there?" He looked up at me and whispered, "Brother Wang.

, do you know this guy?"

"Yes," I nodded melancholy, feeling very guilty for the fact that Zheng Hong and a thousand Guanzhong disciples were missing from the rebellion. Zheng Hong originally went to the Turks with Mr. Cheng, but he was killed by several big copper furnaces.

It was given to Su Dingfang. Speaking of it, Zheng Hong was also a person who risked his life to go out. No one else dared to do this kind of thing. But it suited his appetite. He lost his life and gained a foothold for the whole family. He thought it was worth it. "He is a

Man, just like the Zheng family on Xiaobeimen, the Turks surrendered prisoners a few years ago and changed their surname to Zheng."

"It's him!" Dugu Fu's expression immediately became solemn, and several officers around him also gathered around after hearing this, "What a great guy. I don't have many friends in the capital, and I don't have a good reputation. Although I have never met this Turkic prince,

But I have also heard about his oil-headed and powdered face pulling him around. I never thought he was such a person."

"Yes, I even beat him." A burly young general next to him said guiltily: "As for what happened last year, I went to the South Bridge with a few people to see the peonies and met him. At that time, I looked down on him as a person and became a hundred

I beat him up on the ground, but he didn't fight back before and after, and even saluted me when I left..." The general's voice trembled a little midway through the words, "Do I really deserve a beating?"

"Brother Liu, don't blame yourself," someone next to him comforted him: "There are many unreasonable people in the capital. You are not the only one who has done anything. The mistress of the Xie family even visited others and even had their plaques smashed. Zheng

My wife was so frightened that she couldn't help but yell, "Xie San, your baby, come here!"

A big man from the back walked out with his head bowed and stood in front of the sand table. "It's all smashed. I don't even know that Zheng Hong is like this." As he said this, he turned around and looked at the place where Zheng Hong disappeared on the sand table, deceiving himself and saying:

"Don't worry, maybe the person is still there, he can get out of the mountain, maybe he can get in." Suddenly he punched the edge of the sand table, "Okay, if you die, you will die! It's agreed now, and from now on."

I, Xie Yun, will take care of this Zheng family. From now on, all the brothers will help me, give me face, and don’t mention this matter again. I am on my way to San, and I don’t have anything else. Zuo Wuwei has received two years of food and salary.

Just send it to Zheng’s house!”

"Haha. Young man, it doesn't matter if you beat someone up. What do your mother-in-law and children eat when you give them food and salary?" Liang Jianfang walked away from the crowd and walked in, "It's OK if you make a mistake, but you can't admit your mistake! A manly man, your mother-in-law and mother-in-law will make people embarrassed.

"Is this man still in a dilemma between life and death? He is rushing to attend the funeral? From now on, the Zheng family will be recognized by my Liang family. You are wrong to hit me." He raised his leg and kicked Xie Yun, shouting.

: "Go away, you are all domineering and lawless. I am responsible for all the disgusting things that happened to you guys. I have been responsible for all the disgusting things in a day. If someone comes to me to sue you, don't blame me for falling out."

Recognize people and learn to be more honest in the future!"

The old scoundrel is awesome. After seeing all the officers clasping their fists in admiration, Dugufu and I looked at each other and gave a thumbs up secretly. We bought people's hearts and strictly enforced military discipline. With just a few words, we got the matter done.

Zheng Hong died, and Liang Jianfang just adopted a few orphans. It was a sign of loyalty; if he survived by chance, he would definitely be a rising star. This battle would establish his prestige in the army. Military reports are not just read by the military headquarters.
