Chapter three hundred and seventy-eight happy event
The meal was a joyful one for the guests and the host, but when Qiao Rui came out of the main hall, said goodbye to Chu Nan and went to see her daughter, cold sweat had already soaked the clothes on her back.
"Father, are you leaving now?" The ones sending Qiao Rui off were sisters Qiao Ying and Qiao Shu.
"You two go out with me." Qiao Rui said with a sullen face, looking at the two sisters.
The Qiao sisters nodded blankly and followed Qiao Rui all the way to the carriage. Qiao Rui let the carriage drive around the city. Some things were not good to talk to at other people's homes.
"Dad, are you asking me about joining the army?" Qiao Ying vaguely guessed what her father wanted to say and asked in a low voice.
"This matter has been mentioned before. Since General Lu likes you two, it's hard for me as a father to say anything. I'm calling you out today for another matter." Qiao Rui said in a deep voice.
"Another thing?" Qiao Ying asked confused.
"Does Shangshu Chu have any affection for you two..." Qiao Rui paused and looked at their faces, only to see that they had blank expressions on their faces. He lowered his voice and said, "Does he express his admiration for you?
"
The Qiao sisters immediately blushed. What did their father mean? They naturally understood. Qiao Ying shook her head and said: "The minister and the general are loving husband and wife. Although they take care of my sisters, they do not do anything beyond the courtesy. On weekdays,
Most of them leave early and come back late. Except for the occasional meeting during dinner, we usually don't touch each other."
When Qiao Rui heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The appearance of his two daughters could not be said to be stunning, but they were also rare in the world. He didn't believe that men were not tempted, but Chu Nan could abide by the etiquette and law.
It made him feel relieved.
After thinking about it, Qiao Rui said: "It's always not good for you to rely on other families like this. My father will build a few houses in Xuchang and find some maids to protect the houses. From now on, you two will live in your own home in Xuchang."
, and it’s easier to live under someone else’s roof.”
"Let father make the decision." Qiao Ying thought for a while and nodded. Although the atmosphere of the Chu family was very good and made people reluctant to leave, it was not her own home after all. She also understood her father's worries. After all, the two women could not live in other people's homes.
good.
Qiao Shu was a little reluctant to give up. Although Chu Nan's mansion was not very nice, there were many novel things. There were dragons in the pond. The pigeon demon's mean appearance was quite funny sometimes, and he could understand.
People say that Rhubarb's hair is much smoother than that of ordinary dogs, and they won't resist.
He was reluctant to leave, but his father's worries today were not unreasonable. After all, it was someone else's house, so he nodded sadly.
Qiao Rui did not bring the two girls back to his residence. Although his friends might not mind, the young master of that family was not yet married. If he saw his daughter and proposed marriage, it would be hurtful to refuse.
To be honest, if Chu Nan didn't have a real wife, he would be willing to do so with Chu Nan's reputation and magnanimity. Unfortunately, Chu Nan already had a real wife, so naturally he didn't want his daughter to be a concubine, but his good friend's son...
...To be honest, I don't really like it, so I might as well let the two girls stay in the Chu Mansion for a few more days. After he finds a suitable house and buys it, it won't be too late for them to move out.
After giving some instructions to the two girls, he turned the carriage back to the Chu Mansion, put the two girls down, and then took the carriage back to his friend's house.
This Chu Nan is not very old, but he has a very thorough grasp of human nature. It is no wonder that he has gained such a great reputation at such a young age. It is not all due to luck as he said.
luck?
Think about it carefully, among the things Chu Nan has done in the past two years, which one is luck?
If it weren't for his background, he would have already become famous.
Nowadays, the common people's understanding of the scholars has begun to collapse because of this man. Although I don't know whether he will succeed in the end, once people's consensus is formed, it is difficult to break. Chu Nan broke people's respect for the scholars with a bloody butcher knife.
, but what should others use to break the consensus established by Chu Nan? Then use a butcher knife? Who to kill?
Terrible!
However, as long as we can grasp this point and make plans in advance, we can be ahead of everyone. In this battle of all things in the world, the battle is about who can see further and further forward. In the past, everyone looked in the same direction, so the big family will always look in the same direction.
It's a big family, and it's hard for a prominent local family like them to join the family.
But now the old situation has been broken, and I have taken the first step, that is, taking the initiative step by step!
Not to mention Qiao Rui thinking about possible future situations, when the Qiao sisters came back, they saw Chu Nan playing chess with Lu Lingqi.
"So fast?" Chu Nan looked at the two sisters in surprise, and said with some surprise, wasn't Qiao Rui worried that he missed their two daughters? How could he feel confident about letting them come back?
"My father took advantage of the fact that there were many men in the house of his friends, which was inconvenient, so he asked my sisters to come back. Don't worry, Shangshu, my father is already looking for a house in the city. After the purchase is completed, we will leave." When Qiao Ying spoke, her cheeks moved.
Some redness.
Originally, their relationship with Chu Nan was just a gentleman's friendship. During this time, Chu Nan went out early and came back late, and didn't have much contact with them. If Qiao Rui hadn't reminded them, the two girls wouldn't have thought about it. At this time, they were ignored by their father.
, but thought about this unconsciously, and suddenly felt that Chu Nan's eyes on them were not pure.
"It's not urgent. You two will probably be responsible for the Demon Suppression Department in the next year, and we won't be able to stay here for more than a few days." Chu Nan looked at the two women curiously. It was not like he had never seen them before, and he suddenly felt shy.
What does it mean?
"The two of us?" Qiao Shu said in surprise: "Then the governor won't go with us?"
"Madam is pregnant." Chu Nan said helplessly.
The frequency in the past few days was too high, many times a night, without the interference of burning children and grandchildren, I accidentally... got pregnant. As soon as I got pregnant, the doctor couldn't diagnose it, but he had the power of qi, although it was not obvious.
But you can still see the anger in your arms.
My daughter-in-law is pregnant, so naturally I can't continue to worry about it. My happy days... are so short!
"General is pregnant!?" Qiao Shu jumped to Lu Lingqi's side. She was still confused about men and women and asked curiously: "Why are you pregnant?"
Cough~
Chu Nan coughed and turned his gaze to the pond to see the scenery. Lu Lingqi showed a rare shy expression and did not answer her.
Qiao Shu quickly pulled his sister and looked at him angrily. Although he was only two years older than his sister, he was more grateful than her. He looked at Lu Lingqi with a smile and said, "Congratulations, general."
"That's why I have to worry about the Demon Suppression Department, but the matter of commanding the troops is no trivial matter. My husband has a deep understanding of the art of war. If you two sisters have something you don't understand, you can ask your husband for advice." Lu Lingqi nodded.
, looked towards Chu Nandao.
"Doesn't Shangshu not understand soldiers?" Qiao Shu remembered what Chu Nan said the most in front of everyone during this period...I forgot the specific words, but the general meaning was: I don't understand soldiers, and it all depends on the bravery of the generals!
In Qiao Shu's heart, Chu Nan was probably just like Sun Quan.
"If you don't know how to fight, how can you win consecutive battles? You must know that Shangshu's opponents are all famous generals." Qiao Ying knocked her sister on the head, looked at Chu Nan with a smile and said, "Please Shangshu give me some advice."
"It's true that I don't know much about the art of war. Winning a battle really depends on the lives of my subordinates. So it's okay to not know how to fight, but you have to know people and be willing to delegate power." Chu Nan said with a smile: "If I were Sun Quan in the battle of Hefei,
Then he won't be like Sun Quan."
"Oh? If the minister is Sun Quan, how should he deal with the general?" Qiao Shu'e raised her eyebrows slightly and raised her chin slightly. The battle of Hefei was Lu Lingqi's most powerful battle in the world, and it was also the first battle between her two sisters. Chu Nan said to
I feel somewhat dissatisfied with this review.
"First of all, as the lord, you can be the commander-in-chief, but you cannot directly command the troops. In other words, you should not rush to the formation easily unless you have to."
"Secondly, when fighting a large army, I remember that although Sun Quan claimed to have one hundred thousand troops, the actual number of troops coming from Jiangdong was sixty to eighty thousand. Even the famous generals in the world can control an army formation of this size. There are only a few people who can control it. If it were me,
To take command, first of all I will not rush to the front. Even if Zhou Yu does not participate in this battle, Cheng Pu should actually command the army."
"Then, the Jiangdong military system is different from that of the Central Plains princes. They are interdependent but clearly differentiated. Therefore, there is no need to force the armies to be united, as it is easy to restrict each other. According to the original terrain of Hefei, the army can be divided into three major armies or even more.
We were advancing step by step in a dispersed manner. At that time, our army in Hefei only had a total strength of only 10,000. If we wanted to defeat each other individually, we would use the word "wolf smoke" as a signal. If one side was attacked, the other legions would divide into two to encircle the city, and the rest would attack the city.
"
Chu Nan cleared the chessboard and used the chess pieces as troops on the chessboard to illustrate the current situation of both sides.
Lu Lingqi frowned and looked at the chessboard, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "In this way, even if one path is broken, the other paths will not be affected."
She was able to win a great victory that day, which she had not expected in advance. The one hundred thousand army in Jiangdong looked impressive, but as Chu Nan said, it could not completely control the one hundred thousand army. In addition, Sun Quan relied on Tai Qian, so he was
Lu Lingqi penetrated it with eight hundred horsemen, and then Liu Ye led his soldiers and horses to press forward, and it collapsed in an instant.
If Sun Quan had arranged his troops according to what Chu Nan said, the result might be that she was defeated and had to retreat to the city to wait for reinforcements.
"So when marching and fighting, first of all, the commander must not put himself in danger, otherwise if the commander moves, the three armies will be frustrated!" Chu Nan clicked on the chessboard and said: "You two are mages, so you can't get closer."
"Mage?" Qiao Shu looked at Chu Nan curiously.
"I use my magical powers to fight against the enemy. If I were your opponent and I pinpointed your position, or sent assassins, or organized elite men to rush towards you, would you still be able to fight back?" Chu Nan asked.
The two women both relied on their natural talents to earn a living. If they were approached by the opponent's elite, just thinking about it would make both women feel a little timid.
"Another point is that kindness is not in charge of troops. A general must know the choice!" Chu Nan looked at the two women and said seriously: "Like the battle of Hulou, it is fortunate that the lady sent the pigeon demon to ask for help, otherwise
If we hadn't arrived in time, you wouldn't have been able to escape from that battle. If it were me, you would have broken through the encirclement the night before. This is also your biggest common problem. Women are soft-hearted and prone to being emotional, but for generals,
It is said that the most taboo thing is to act on impulse."
"Isn't the Minister always putting the people first?" Qiao Ying frowned.
"Not to mention whether it is worth it, but considering the situation, even if you all die in battle, you will not be able to escape the destruction of the city and the death of people. Judging from the results, your sacrifice is only to kill a few more monsters, nothing.
It doesn't make any sense." Chu Nan shook his head and said: "If there were no pigeon demons, we might not even be able to find your corpses when we go there."
"The general was already determined to break out of the encirclement!" Qiao Shu whispered.
"It's too late. When you realize something is wrong, you should break out. Don't be influenced by other people's words." Chu Nan shook his head. People might think it was unkind to say this, but when the outcome could already be seen, he still held on to it.
The most important thing about the idea of coexisting with the city is that the city is not a strategic location, nor is it a matter of life or death. It is naturally good to help defend against it. If things cannot be done, you should think of a way out early.
"Since you want to be a general, you must understand this trade-off, otherwise you will harm others and yourself!" Chu Nan said in a deep voice.
The Qiao sisters nodded silently to show that they understood, but their expressions were a little depressed.
"Since you want to say it, I will say it. Do as I say. I won't win every battle, but even if you lose, it won't be too ugly. As for whether you listen or not, it's your business. I don't want to have any trouble.
I will collect the corpses for you in the day. This battle is not a child’s play. If you don’t want to die, just study hard." Chu Nan said with a serious face.
According to his approach, the general is always in the safest position and is indeed difficult to defeat.
