After returning to Zhuangziju, Meng Zhong opened the package sent by his brother Monberto. Only then did he realize that the package contained a stack of cloth, and the words on the cloth were written, which was probably the "family letter" of his brother.

But why can't these letters be seen by my mother?

Meng Zhong was a little puzzled.

He picked up one of the cloths and carefully looked at the words on the cloths.

I saw that the cloth said:

"On the fourth day of the second month, I finally arrived in Pengcheng. My brother Meng Ting and others were scolded by Uncle Meng Qing (crossed off) because of complaining about the hard work on the way. I was punished by Sima, and I was punished not to eat. In comparison, I was so lucky to be able to stand on the chariot along the way. Oh, it turns out that when I was in the army, I was not allowed to call Uncle Meng Qing anymore, and I had to respectfully call Sima."

Seeing this article, Meng Zhong couldn't help but smile.

After all, the words in this letter are still very happy.

Meng Zhong picked up the second piece of cloth.

"On the fifth day of the second month, I followed Uncle Meng Zhi and the other tribe brothers to visit Pengcheng today. It turned out that Pengcheng is so prosperous. Ah Zhong, do you know that Pengcheng is the capital of my Song Kingdom. I thought it was Shangqiu. At night, the officials in Pengcheng brought some women, who were said to be the female relatives of the perpetrators, about thirty or forty. These women were about twenty to teenagers, and they all looked pitiful. Uncle Meng Zhi handed one of the women to me. What does this mean? Did I ask me to take care of her? She seemed very afraid, why? I won't harm her... She came over, what would she do..."

"Hey, hey, there's no such thing."

Seeing that the letter came to an abrupt end here, Meng Zhong couldn't help but feel frustrated.

Shaking his head, he continued to look down.

The third letter:

"On the sixth day of the second month, I was really shocked yesterday. It turned out that those women were... I won't say it anymore. A Zhong, you are still young, and you don't need to understand these things yet. In short, those women are really pitiful. In addition, Brother Wei did nothing last night, although he was laughed at by Meng Min and Meng Heng for this incident today... I was called over by Uncle Meng Zhi, saying that Pengcheng had issued an order, and the soldiers of each family rested in Pengcheng for three days, and then followed the royal army to conquer Teng Kingdom."

Chapter 4:

"On the ninth day of the second month, today is the last day of rest. Tomorrow everyone will have to rush to Teng Country. In the past two days, the brothers in the clan have privately discussed the reason why our Song State attacked Teng Country. Unexpectedly, the passing military Sima heard it. Jun Sima is a very old man. He heard from Uncle Meng Zhi said that it seemed to be called "Shàn", just like Elder Meng Jian, he was a very kind old man. The old man told us that because the monarch of Teng Country lost his virtue and did bad things, we have to attack this country. A Zhong, let me tell you that Uncle Meng Qing, who serves as Sima, was just a very small military officer in the army. It was incredible. He clearly held 750 people. But as far as I heard, the old man named "Jing Zhi" actually managed an army of more than 10,000 people under his command. It was so amazing."

Chapter 5 Letter:

"On February 29th, I didn't write a letter for twenty days, because the journey was too fast on the way. It is said that the monarch asked us to rush from Pengcheng to "Pei County" within a month. Ah Zhong, you must not know where Pei County is. Haha, it is (crossed off) - Pei County is similar to our Jingbo. There is a big lake to the north of it, and the opposite of the lake is Teng Kingdom. This lake is really big. Does the monarch ask us to swim to the other side? The brothers of the clan are complaining again, but it is true that the water in the lake is too cold."

Chapter 6:

"On the second day of March, today, many people were called to log and build ships. I wanted to go, but Uncle Meng Zhi stopped me and said that it was done by the soldiers in the army. We are "scholars" and we don't need to do that kind of thing, so I didn't go. I looked carefully and found that it seemed that those who logged and built ships were all slaves from various families and gathered refugees, as well as servants sent by Pengcheng, and there were many people."

Chapter 7 Letter:

"On the fourth day of June, during this period, apart from writing some letters to my mother, I didn't write much to you, but there was nothing to write. Those people were still building ships, and we soldiers were trained by Uncle Meng Qing (crossed off) Sima for a while. Sima is really so strict. Not to mention Sima, he is strict with us now, hoping that we can survive on the battlefield in the future. He said very... it is very scary, so we don't dare to be lazy."

Chapter 8 Letter:

"On the second day of July, the ship was finally built. Everyone boarded a large boat and crossed this huge lake. One of the boats leaked. It seemed to be a ship that the Fahrenheit clan was riding. They were forced to abandon the boat and jump into the water. Fortunately, they were rescued by us. However, Sima, the family of the Fahrenheit clan, was very angry. The older army Sima was also very angry. He killed some shipbuilders, and seemed to have killed more than 40 people. Those people were so pitiful."

Chapter 9 Letter:

"On July 12th, I finally fought with the army of Teng. It turned out that the army of Teng had several thousand people, but our number was much higher than them, so I won quickly. However, our family was dead, and Uncle Meng Qiu died, and he was shot to death by the bow and arrow of the army of Teng. Do you still remember Uncle Meng Qiu? It was the uncle who teased you when we were doing farm work in the fields a few years ago. Also, Meng Mo was also dead. You are not familiar with this brother A Zhong. I have only become familiar with him recently. He fell in love with a criminal named "Yin". He had always said that he would make contributions and help the woman get rid of "sin".

". I asked privately that thirty-two people died in this battle, and nine of them were tribe-men. Sima was very angry and scolded the dead Meng Mo in front of everyone, saying that he harmed others and himself. He relied on his own force to refuse to obey the command and broke into the enemy's ranks. He was at a loss. Uncle Meng Qing said that if he did not obey orders next time, no matter who it was, he would execute him immediately! Uncle Meng Qing was really harsh, but I think he was right, because Uncle Meng Zhi also said that if Meng Mo had not been surrounded by soldiers of Teng Kingdom, Uncle Meng Qiu and others would go to save him, he would not have been killed by the Teng people."

Chapter 10:

"On July 19th, after we won the last time, the army Sima (Jing Cheng) sent someone to advise Teng State to surrender and surrender. The monarch of Teng State refused to obey. The monarch of Teng State was called "Teng Hong", and Pengcheng said that he was a very cruel monarch... The last time, today is July 23rd, the monarch of Teng State "Teng Hong" personally brought a large army to resist us, but was defeated by us. This monarch, who is said to be very cruel, also died on the battlefield. It is strange, isn't this monarch cruel? Why did all the Teng people cry after he was shot to death by the king's archery? The soldiers of Teng State who were originally surrounded by us were also fearless of death.

The earth rushed towards us and was killed by us. It was really strange that no Teng people surrendered in this battle, and they all died in battle. Why did they do this? Do they all support the cruel Teng Hong? I asked Uncle Meng Zhi, who did not answer me, but patted me on the shoulder and asked me to go back and rest. I didn't sleep well at night because I killed a soldier from Teng Kingdom. At that time, he and his companions rushed over with a ferocious look on their faces and scattered the infantry. I was frightened and somehow stabbed the weapons and stabbed him to death. Sima rewarded me and scolded our team of infantry because they should have protected the chariots, but were dispersed by the enemy."

Letter eleven:

"On the second day of August, Teng Hong, the monarch of Teng State, died. Jun Sima (Jing Cheng) sent someone to advise Teng State to surrender. Teng State still refused. Teng Hong's son Teng Hu killed the envoy sent by Jun Sima. Jun Sima was furious and called Uncle Meng Qing and Sima, the family of other families. I don't know what he said, but after Uncle Meng Qing came back, his face looked very bad. Uncle Meng Zhi sighed privately, saying that it would be difficult to conquer this country. I don't understand."

Letter 12:

"On the sixth day of the eighth month, a few days ago, the army Sima sent a man named "Shi Dan". I don't know what this man came for, but Sima was very respectful to him. Today, we attacked a village in Teng State. Shi Dan ordered to kill all the men in the township, leaving only women... Why? Aren't we here to fight against the brutal Teng Hong, the monarch of Teng State? Why do this? The people in this village are not soldiers of Teng State at all, why? In the end, all the men in the township were killed, some of the women fled, some of them committed suicide, and some of them were captured by us. The arrested women looked at us with terrible eyes, as if they wanted to ask for it.

We were eaten. The clan brother Meng Zhi questioned Sima's family. He began to doubt the war, but was scolded by Sima's family and said, "That's not something you should care about." I also began to have some doubts. In the evening, I secretly asked the women who were arrested. They scolded me, but I was not angry, but they told me that Teng Hong, the monarch of Teng, was a very kind wise monarch, and was respected by all Teng people. It turned out that he was a wise monarch? But why wasn't I heard of this? I asked Uncle Meng Zhi, but Uncle Meng Zhi did not answer. He just told me not to think too much. This was the order of the monarch. Unfortunately, Uncle Meng Qing asked someone to send these women away the next day, and I couldn't ask more."

Chapter 13:

"On August 15th, this war was wrong. We were deceived. Teng Hong, the monarch of Teng State, was a kind monarch and had never offended my Song State. For some reason, he was attacked by my Song State. Yesterday, my clan brother Meng Zhi was detained by Sima, because Meng Zhi once again questioned the war and revealed the lies of Pengcheng. Sima beat Meng Zhi and punched him and asked him to shut up, and then warned us that we are Song people and should be loyal to the monarch of our Song State, without paying attention to anything else. So Uncle Meng Qing is such a person? Several clan brothers were very angry.

, He wanted to leave the army and return home, but was stopped by Uncle Meng Qing... Later, I heard Meng Zhi say that his family would be punished by King Song's family by those who tried to escape on the battlefield. Uncle Meng Zhi also told me that Uncle Meng Qing didn't want this, and he had no choice but to slaughter the Teng people. This is the order of King Song. If Teng State always refuses to surrender, we must kill all the men of Teng State. It turns out that the unrighteous country is not Teng State, but my Song State... The morale of the family is very low at present. When will this unrighteous war be ended?"

『…』

Seeing this, Meng Zhong was already in a very heavy mood.

He was not as optimistic as his brother Meng Bo. He knew from the very beginning that his Song State launched an unjust war against Teng was an unjust war, but even so, his brother Meng Bo's records in the letter still shocked him.

"After this battle, I'm afraid the Song State will be notorious."

Meng Zhong shook his head secretly and sighed.
Chapter completed!
