Please ask the shaman gods along the Hulan River to bless our hometown.
Please put away the melancholy and sadness in the white mountains and black waters, and let a bowl of canned yellow peaches bloom our tearful smiles.
Do you still remember the words of our ancestors? The world repays me with evil, but I want to give smiles to all living beings!

In the camp of General Zhengnan in Guilin, Zhu Di turned back in front of the sand table and looked at his son Zhu Gaosui standing at the door. There was a smile in his eyes, but his face was still majestic.
"Dad!" Zhu Gaosui shouted softly, and then there was a smile on his face.
"I was just going to say that you are acting like a man now!" Zhu Di frowned, "Who thought that you would be so careless when you opened your mouth?"
"Dad!" Zhu Gaosui said in a long voice, and rushed over with a strong step, holding Zhu Di's arm, "I am your son no matter how old you are! My son is happy when he sees me, and of course he has to smile!"
"Tsk..." Zhu Di pulled a face and shook Zhu Gaosui's hand, "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at in the military camp?"
Zhu Gaosui turned his head, and all the soldiers and generals in the commander's hall lowered their heads, pursed their lips and snickered.
"It's natural for a son to be close to his father!" Zhu Gaosui raised his head, "Why are you laughing? Hold it back!"
"Nonsense!"
Zhu Di patted Zhu Gaosui's forehead with his big hand, and then looked at the armor on Zhu Gaosui's body, feeling a little distressed, "You have suffered a lot along the way, haven't you?"
"My son is no longer what he used to be!" Zhu Gaosui puffed up his chest, "Let's march in a hurry, what's the trouble?" As he said, he suddenly sighed and looked into Zhu Di's eyes, "It was only after my son joined the army that I realized that you, dad, were
I have suffered so much and suffered so much... Many times my son could no longer hold on in the border army, but when I think of... my son is your son, my son feels that he cannot embarrass you..."
Zhu Di felt sour in his heart. He touched the thick calluses on the palms of his son's fingers, but his tone was hard, "A man must have this kind of spirit!"
As he said that, he smiled again, "You, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit! After so many years of experience in the border army, you are still glib!"
"Son, this is a true show of affection!" Zhu Gaosui said with a smile.
"Bullshit!" Zhu Di laughed and cursed, and then said, "Does your elder brother have something for you to bring to me?"
"No!" Zhu Gaosui's head was like a rattle, "My eldest brother didn't say anything?"
"Huh?" Zhu Di frowned.
"Dad, my eldest brother's little life in the capital was such a joy!" Zhu Gaosui grinned, "You haven't seen it, tsk tsk...the whole day was just four words: eat, drink and have fun!"
"When he got up in the morning, he put on the dragon robe specially given by the emperor and entered the palace in a sedan. Everyone who saw him had to nod and bow! At noon, he searched for good restaurants in the capital to eat... Even if he ate by himself, he also had to
Bring the peony, do you remember the peony?"
"Ah..." Zhu Di was a little stunned.
"We men are working hard in the front, and he is enjoying the blessings in the back!" Zhu Gaosui curled his lips and continued, "Dad, I think my eldest brother is more majestic now than you were back then!"
Inexplicably, Zhu Di felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He knew very well that his third child had been a provocative person since he was a child, so he couldn't believe everything he said. But for some reason, he felt a little unhappy when he heard it.
"Dad, brothers are fighting, father and son are fighting!" Zhu Gaosui said again, "My son is under your command now. Will my second brother also follow suit and send troops from Yunnan?"
As he said that, he sighed again, "Hey, we are such a good family that we are so far apart. My son always thinks about the past, the days when you took my second brother and me with you when you went to war."
Zhu Di's heart was filled with the tenderness of a man. When he looked at his son's clear eyes, the picture of his father being kind and his son being filial also emerged in his mind.
"Wait until Annan is captured!" Zhu Di thought about the promise the emperor made to him and said, "We, the fathers, will be able to live in peace! From now on, father will take you on horseback and hunt with you!"
As he spoke, he turned his head with bitter eyes and stared in the north direction, "In the deep mountains and old forests of Annan, there are a lot of big animals, and they can be beaten hard!"
At this moment, footsteps came from the door of the handsome hall.
Zhu Di looked up, but his general Zhang Yu strode in and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the Chief Secretary of Guangdong has sent 7,000 kilograms of medicine to treat dampness, 3,000 shovels, 2,000 kilograms of nails, and ropes. Lime and other things. Oh, and there is also a battalion of engineers and soldiers with 2,000 people!"
"Huh?" Zhu Di suddenly concentrated.
After thinking for a moment, "Qi Zhuo's brain has become enlightened?"
The reason why he said this was because the things sent by the Chief Secretary of Guangdong were all necessary for the war.
It's already August, and once the rainy season begins, shovels, ropes, lime, etc. are indispensable. And if the water rises, the more engineers who can build the pontoon, the better.
"Qi Buzheng said..." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Our uncle ordered him to prepare it."
"Oh, what am I saying!" Zhu Di nodded, "Boss is still safe!" As he said that, he suddenly wanted to complain to Zhu Gaosui and became so angry that he raised his foot and kicked Zhu Gaosui on the buttocks, "You talk too much all day long. tongue!"
"Dad, why are you hitting me?" Zhu Gaosui backed away.
"Why, I can't beat my son?" Zhu Di said angrily.
"There's another thing!" Zhang Yu, who had long been used to seeing Zhu Di beating his son, continued to laugh, "It's also what the uncle ordered!"
"What did the boss say again?" Zhu Gaosui muttered, rubbing his butt.
"He asked Yunnan and Guizhou to raise 3,000 horses and seven or eight mules from the prince's army. I think they are already on the road by now!" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "This quenches our thirst... The people I led next were all from the Confederate Army, and there were very few horses in the army."
"And considering the terrain of Annan, a Yunnan horse with strong endurance is the most suitable!" Zhang Yu continued, "There is no horse faster than this horse when walking on mountain roads!"
Zhu Di felt at ease, "Hey, it's hard for the children!" After saying that, he paused and smiled, "Thousands of miles away, he still helps us to worry about it! And..." At this point, he sighed again, "In order to raise funds Maybe he owes a lot of favors to these things. Recognizing him clearly is the second priority. The key is... how many eyes in the court are staring at him!"
There is another sentence that Zhu Di kept in his heart but did not express it with his mouth.
That is, will the emperor feel that his boss is too lenient?
"Dad, don't worry!" Zhu Gaosui said from the side, "As my son has said, my eldest brother is so powerful now! Minister Wang, the leader of the South Study Room, listen, he hasn't inherited your title yet, he is Minister Wang! "
"The emperor is also kind to him!" Zhu Gaosui curled his lips again and said, "Hey, you didn't see that attitude! I saw that the emperor was so kind to him, I thought he and the emperor were brothers!"
"Shut up!" Zhu Di glared at him, "You've been acting nonsense all day long!"
As he said that, he turned to look at Zhang Yu, "Then what...what Wangsun..."
"Chen Wangsun!"
"Yes, are you on your way yet?"
"We have already set off with Huang Zhong and Lu Yi!" Zhang Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di immediately walked to the map and frowned to take a closer look.
"Did the scouts find any movement from the Annan people?" Zhu Di asked.
"It's better to spread it out!" Zhang Yu also walked to the map, "I haven't seen Annan's sentry!"
"Then tell Huang Zhong to keep going!" Zhu Di frowned, and then cursed, "Annan's grandsons are really good at pretending to be grandsons! I bullied him in front of his house, rode on his neck and shit, and he actually returned the favor to his mother
