Chapter 41 The Controversy
It was very difficult to talk to Brother Du, who was more than 20 years older than me. I insisted on calling him Uncle Du. I couldn't tolerate calling him brother-in-law with a guy who was nearly fifty years old. I felt that this was sorry for me and for others.
We first praised the wise and far-sighted imperial leader His Majesty Li Zhi, and exchanged views on the development and security issues in the surrounding areas of the empire. Then we discussed the recent increase in troops in Liaodong by several major military regions in preparation for a self-defense counterattack against Goryeo. Actions expressed verbal support. On the issue of using troops against Goryeo, I was very happy, which fully demonstrated that I was a passionate young man who was loyal to the motherland.
I feel an unparalleled sense of pride when I think of our Tang soldiers preparing to carry out military operations against Goryeo, one of the axis of evil, in order to ensure the people's livelihood and peace in the region. When I was a child, I had a vague idea of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam. Impression, and then growing up in a peaceful environment, receiving education from the humiliating history of more than 150 years in modern times, deeply imprinted a sense of humiliation on my young mind. In the few years of high school, I even Hates all foreigners.
I still remember when I was in my second year of high school, Xi’an held a trash-friendly city party with the Japanese shit Nara. A group of Japanese pirate students came to the school for a party. I couldn’t hear the name of this country, so I met a hero at the party. "Sex" A Japanese pirate had a fight and performed a lightning craniotomy on a bench before the teacher came to the rescue. This move caused our school to be criticized by the Department of Education, and I was given a serious demerit. I still remember it to this day. The principal of my alma mater is a middle-aged man who is usually nicknamed Narrow Monkey (a nickname for a cheap cigarette) because of his serious expression, thin face, and love of grabbing negative teaching materials. In order to protect me from being forcibly expelled, he even went so far as to argue with the Education Bureau. The guy broke his face and forcibly saved me, and finally jotted down the things. These things were all told to me by my father later, and I was already in college at that time. Haha, I retreated far away...
Goryeo has always been a worry for the Tang Empire. Tang Taizong Li Shimin once personally conquered Goryeo but returned without success. Li Shimin would not forget the failure of this military operation until his death. For his successor Li Zhi, conquering Goryeo had a strong sense of mission. Fulfilling his father's will is the son's responsibility, and it is also a means to establish his own prestige. Objectively speaking, Li Zhi, the emperor, is very high-level, but before him, there was Li Shimin's unparalleled martial arts, and later, Wu Zetian took power and caused chaos (I have no doubts about it) Wu Zetian was not biased, as the history books say), but she was unfairly judged as a "cowardly" emperor.
In August of the year Li Zhi came to the throne, just as he was burying Taizong in Zhaoling, a strong earthquake occurred in the Hedong area, especially in Jinzhou. Houses collapsed, killing 5,000 people at once. In this year, floods and droughts occurred one after another in all states in the world. , the land of Guanfu was plagued by locusts again, and the earthquake in Jinzhou lasted for more than two years. This indeed caused a big problem for Gaozong Li Zhi who came to the throne as the new king, not to mention that Li Zhi was once the king of Jin He was promoted to prince and conquered the world. In view of the values and political concepts at the time, this would naturally bring great pressure to Gaozong, who had just taken over the country. In addition to "sending an edict to ask questions and give him two more years, he put pressure on him." "Three bolts of silk were given to the deceased." In addition to properly settling the aftermath, in May of the following year, he openly communicated with the officials at the court about the matter, and expressed his responsibility: "I first came to the throne, and because of my unclear political and religious beliefs, I As a result, frequent earthquakes occurred in the land of Jinzhou. This was caused by the failure of rewards and punishments and the poor political conduct. It is advisable for the ministers to go into feudal affairs and talk about gains and losses so as to avoid catching up." The new king's brilliance was revealed inadvertently after he came to the throne. came out. Then he decisively suspended the war in Liaodong (Goryeo) and the construction of civil engineering projects. In the second year of his accession to the throne, the first year of Yonghui, he summoned local officials from various places to ask about the sufferings of the people, encouraged his ministers to express their opinions on the national economy and people's livelihood, and The tax reduction and corvee taxation allowed the people to recuperate and recuperate, and the country's strength soared. The prosperity of Chang'an was even more obvious to all. Merchants from various countries brought a wealth of goods, and the good weather for many years allowed the people to have enough food and clothing. All of this contributed to the good public security environment at that time. Lay the foundation. Once, Tang Lin, the minister of Dali Temple, reported to Li Zhi: There were only more than 50 prisoners in the prison, and 2 of them needed to be sentenced to death. Such a low crime rate is staggering, compared to later generations... I talk too much.
In the environment where the country was prosperous and the people were strong, the conditions for conquering Goryeo were ripe. Li Zhi sent generals Su Dingfang, Li Ji (namely Li Shiji, who changed his name to Ji after Taizong's death because of taboos) and Liu Rengui and Xue Rengui to manage Liaodong and wait for an opportunity to fight. Depends.
The strength of the country brings a national consciousness full of superiority. When I realize that my country is working hard to maintain peace in surrounding areas, I feel unparalleled happiness, a kind of happiness that has no difference between rich and poor. Every Chinese Everyone longs to have happiness.
Maybe because I was in a good mood, my rejection of Du Feng gradually disappeared. To be fair, this old guy is a little more handsome than me. He is physically fit, good-looking, and knowledgeable. His elegant clothes cannot hide his strong figure, and his looming The biceps exposed his strong fighting ability. If I fight with him, maybe... I will beg for mercy. I think this choice is wiser.
Still, the grudge in my heart had disappeared, and I began to use my ability to tell the world, using special skills that I later learned were 1,500 years old. Instead of talking, Du Feng was quickly defeated by the powerful fire suppression. From Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors In the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, through the twelve constellations of the zodiac, we returned to the beautiful Hawaii; while the Spaniards were still beating their Neanderthal cousins in the caves with bone sticks, I led Uncle Du to capture Troy, and the descendants of Sun Wu led a small number of Chinese followers on the other side of the earth to use the anti-encirclement and suppression essence of Grandpa * to defeat the powerful Ma Ya people (take a deep breath), and laid down a large territory... Storytelling, in general As long as the meaning is correct, as for the exaggerated polish and over-exaggeration, it is just to reflect the excitement of the story and leave the audience with a good memory. Although there is only one audience in front of me, it does not affect me at all. Extraordinary performance, after all, no one has chatted with me for a long time. Rather than showing off, it is better to say that I am venting.
……………………………….. Du Feng’s thoughts are a bit confused, which is within my expectation.
"Brother Zihao..." Du Feng still didn't recover, which made me feel that what he said was very impolite. "Where do you know what you just said? Forgive me for being presumptuous, most of the things Zihao just discussed, I It is unheard of. Not to mention where Hawaii is located, the allusion of the Trojan horse massacre is really unbelievable. Fighting over a woman is often heard on the streets. However, such disputes also occur between countries. It is surprising. It’s hard to explain. It’s so hard to explain.” Du Feng shook his head, “It must be that the Kingdom of Basta coveted the wealth of Troy City and used a woman as an excuse to start a war.” Du Feng was very satisfied with his inference and frowned again: “ A Trojan horse hides thousands of elite soldiers. This strategy wastes people and money. It is dangerous and unreasonable. The general who came up with this strategy is extremely ignorant. No wonder he has not been able to conquer small towns for many years. If it were my Tang Dynasty soldiers, this city would be in danger. However, the king of Troy He was so stupid that after the enemy retreated, they did not send scouts to investigate, but were complacent and took possession of a wooden horse. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. Even if you don't need to burn it with rockets, you only need to close the city gate for a few days, and the soldiers inside the wooden horse..." said At this point, Du Feng burst out laughing. I knew what he meant. How many gentlemen could live in a wooden horse and eat, drink, and defecate for several days? Who could bear it?
I feel very embarrassed. My lifelike performance has been denied. Doesn’t he understand art? He is so serious about breaking a myth, and he also carefully discusses the rights and wrongs. It’s boring to know this person. Whoever marries him will be unlucky! But we still have to Chatting up, he said: "Uncle Du is indeed a talented man. He can spot his flaws at a glance and admire him. This story has been spread to Western countries and has been passed down as an epic by its literati. Zihao also finds it ridiculous. Uncle only listens to it as a joke, not really."
"Otherwise," Du Feng said sternly: "When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy retreats, we pursue. In guerrilla warfare, we rely on the odds of winning; we advance and retreat in large strides, luring the enemy deep and concentrating. Strength, defeat them one by one, and annihilate the enemy in mobile warfare. Are these words written in the legendary posthumous letter of Wu's tomb?" Du Feng looked at me with sharp eyes, which had the potential of gamma rays.
"Yes, Sun Wu once co-wrote this book with the advice of an unparalleled master in the art of war. Due to the long history, most of it has been lost. Later Wei Gong Cao Cao summarized and annotated the spread parts, but only part of it That's all. When Zihao was young, he heard his father mention the entire posthumous note of You Zeng You Wu's tomb, and he passed on the part of what he saw to me. A few days ago, I was infected with a serious illness and I have no memory. Today, my body is gradually showing "color". My memory has recovered slightly before, but I can only remember these things." I stared at the bridge of Du Feng's nose fearlessly, and even I believed the lies.
Du Feng saw that I had no flaws and sighed: "Zihao must cultivate himself carefully. A speedy recovery will definitely be a blessing to the Tang Dynasty! If there is no accident, my soldiers will defeat Goryeo before tomorrow. From now on, I will use troops against Tibet. If we can get the help of everyone with Zihao's military skills, our army will be unstoppable and unstoppable!" Du Feng patted his thigh lightly, and then said confidently: "In the polo match that day, I learned Zihao's exquisite formation, and the players He is capable of both offense and defense, complementing each other, and is a genius in this world. If he can train with the army a little bit, he will be able to bravely defeat the three armies in the future, showing the style of Mr. Wang Laohou!"
Ah! Hearing what the handsome old man said, I can't stand it anymore. I'm here to live a happy life. There are so many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and I am not missing any one of them. Why should I be the champion of the three armies? My family's township enterprises have seen benefits. You want me to go to the army and suffer the consequences before even getting the money? No, I won't go, not even if I'm killed!
I suddenly thought, when did this guy know about Wu's suicide note? A face that deserves a beating appeared in my mind - Qin Yu!
I wanted to speak clearly to my face to prevent this old immortal from going around recommending me to join the battle and die, so I asked: "Uncle Du, did Brother Siye tell you about the suicide note from Wu's tomb?"
Seeing me mentioning Qin Yu, Du Feng nodded, "Qin Yu is my nephew. He has been interested in the art of war since he was a child and has always had great ambitions. One day after I got acquainted with Zihao, he mentioned all your remarks in front of me, which made me very angry. People were amazed. And Sa Zi Lu's victory that day further proved Zi Hao's extraordinary ability. Qin Yu already wanted to become his disciple, but he couldn't save face. I came today just to discuss this matter with Zi Hao. I don't know Zi Hao. Hao, what do you mean?"
Finally I understand, no wonder that at this age, I have to pave the way for my nephew. Being courteous for nothing is neither a traitor nor a thief. How come I don’t even have this awareness, and I have been messing around with this guy for a long time? , being plotted against me, wanting to become a disciple, good, good! Hehe...
---------------Dividing line----------------
My unit recently launched a cooperation project with Yangling Agricultural University. In the afternoon, I drove to and from Yangling, Xi'an under the sun. It's more than 200 kilometers in total. Everyone continues to help me despise my fat leader and wish him to become fatter! I just rushed home and I didn't have any food.
