Chapter eight hundred and forty-two loyalty is difficult to complete
"Third brother, it's actually not too long. You don't need to be so melancholy."
Song Qing felt the melancholy in Liu Mingzhi and quickly spoke to express relief.
Zhou Baoyu also noticed the change in Liu Mingzhi's mood and nodded in agreement.
"Commander, Brother Song is right, you don't need to be so depressed.
Our dragon cannot send troops to conquer Russia, it’s just that we can’t send troops for the time being.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at the caring eyes of Song and Qing. The melancholy in his eyes gradually disappeared, and a faint smile appeared on his face again.
"Brother, Baoyu, don't worry, you two, I can still look past this matter."
Song Qing chuckled, nodded, and directly handed the wine bag in front of Liu Mingzhi.
"So good, so good."
Zhou Baoyu immediately took off the wine gourd from his waist, pulled out the wine cork and signaled to Young Master Liu.
"Commander, I won't say anything more, I'm already in the wine."
Liu Mingzhi took the wine bag from Song Qing, touched Zhou Baoyu's wine gourd with a smile on his face, then raised the wine bag and drank happily.
After wiping the wine that fell from the corner of his mouth, Liu Mingzhi handed the wine bag to Song Qing with a smile.
"Brother, you drink too."
"good!"
Song Qing took the wine bag with a bold tone and gestured to Zhou Baoyu, raised the wine bag and tilted it down, and started drinking in big gulps.
It wasn't until the last drop of crystal clear wine dripped from the wine bag that he laughed and put down the wine bag in his hand.
"Hahaha...hahaha...so happy! So damn happy!
It's a pity that brothers Cheng Kai, brothers Feng Bu'er, brothers Ning Chao, brothers Baotong... they are called brothers are not in the capital now.
Otherwise, I’m afraid it would be even more enjoyable than now.”
Hearing Song Qing's somewhat sad words, Liu Mingzhi and Zhou Baoyu's faces also darkened slightly, and they all sighed with regretful expressions.
"well!"
"Alas~"
Zhou Baoyu raised the wine gourd and took a sip, then reached out and patted Song Qing's shoulder several times.
"Brother Song, don't worry, we brothers will have many opportunities to drink together in the future.
Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between loyalty and righteousness. They went on an expedition for the country.
We brothers should be proud of them!"
Song Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Brother Baoyu, I understand.
You are right, loyalty and justice have been in dilemma since ancient times.
Cheng Kai and the others went to the battlefield for the sake of their third brother, for the country of Dalong, and for the millions of people in the world of Dalong.
We brothers should really be happy for them."
As soon as Song Qing finished speaking, Zhou Baoyu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Liu Mingzhi while holding the wine gourd.
"Handsome."
"Um?"
"I have a question I want to ask you, but I don't know whether I should answer it or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Commander, the last general and the Baotong brothers have been guarding the border in the north these years.
Therefore, each time, a long period of time had passed before the general and the Baotong brothers knew what had happened in the court.
Moreover, most of what the two general brothers knew about the situation came from the mouths of the brothers who escorted us with food and grass.
Or perhaps, they learned it from the merchants of our Dalong caravan who occasionally passed through the border.
Moreover, most of the information they told the general was just hearsay.
There must be some discrepancies with the real situation in the imperial court.
After all, with their status, it is impossible for them to come into contact with the core situation above the court.
During the more than half a year that I will be guarding the border at the end of this year, I have not heard a single news about any major events in the imperial court.
Therefore, the general wanted to ask the commander.
In the past half year or so, how has the battle situation in the barbarian territories of the Western Kingdoms progressed for the soldiers of our Western Expedition Army on the left and right of Dalong?"
Looking at Zhou Baoyu who looked curious, Liu Mingzhi immediately recalled the recent Golden Eagle biography about the Western Expedition.
After a while, Liu Mingzhi turned slightly sideways and looked at Song Qing.
"Brother."
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Uncle Zhang Kuang, Uncle Nangong Ye, and the two of them, in addition to the latest document sent two months ago, has there been a new letter from the Golden Eagle recently?"
Song Qing shook his head without hesitation.
"Except for a few documents received two months ago, the Ministry of War has not received any battle report documents recently.
Third brother, if the latest battle report document comes from them, I will definitely send it to you for review as soon as possible!"
Liu Mingzhi was slightly stunned. After he realized what he was doing, he smiled bitterly and patted his forehead.
"That's true. Recently, due to all kinds of trivial matters, I have been tormented so much that I feel exhausted mentally and physically!"
"Baoyu."
"Commander, please tell me."
"According to the latest battle report documents from Uncle Zhang Kuang and Uncle Nangong Ye.
Now, the soldiers of our western expedition armies on the left and right of Dalong have almost stabilized the situation in Tianzhu, Dashi, Rome and other countries.
If you want to completely stabilize, it will probably take some time?"
"Commander, what's going on? Did something unexpected happen?"
"Accidents are not unexpected, they are just minor troubles.
Today, there are still some old-fashioned barbarian nobles, or large and small families, in the countries in the West, who are not so willing to obey the new laws issued by my dragon.
On the surface, they dare not confront the soldiers of my Western Expedition Army, but secretly they keep making small moves.
These people took great pains to treat Zhang Shuai, Nangong Shuai and the others.
However, for a while, there was nothing we could do to them."
Zhou Baoyu frowned slightly and was silent for a moment, with an undisguised look of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Commander, Commander Zhang, Commander Nangong, why don't they just..."
As Zhou Baoyu spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"The general believes that there is no need to be polite to those barbarians who dare to disobey the kingship of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty.
Just cut the mess with a sharp knife and get it over with."
Listening to Zhou Baoyu's evil tone, Liu Mingzhi shook his head helplessly.
"Baoyu, it's not as simple as you said.
If Zhang Shuai and Nangong Shuai really have to do this, the situation that has finally been stabilized will probably cause another uproar immediately.
Just killing those people is naturally just a trivial matter.
However, after you kill those people, those who have obeyed Wang Hua should start thinking wildly.
They can't help but worry whether the slaughtering knife of our Dalong soldiers in the Western Expedition will one day fall on their heads.
In a short period of time, with the strong force of our Western Expedition Army officers and soldiers to suppress it, naturally there will not be any major turmoil.
But, once it goes on for a long time.”
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he set off and walked towards the neatly planted bushes a few steps away.
"Baoyu."
"Commander?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand, grasped a branch, and slowly pressed it down. When he pressed the branch to the extreme, he suddenly released his palm.
In an instant, the branch immediately bounced back.
"Baoyu, once it lasts for a long time.
Those barbarians will be like the branches just now, the harder you press them, the stronger they will rebound in the end."
After listening to Mr. Liu's words, Zhou Baoyu nodded with sudden realization.
"Commander, I finally understand."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, casually raising his hands and looking up at the western sky.
"If you want to stabilize the situation in various countries, relying solely on brute force and killing will never work.
You can kill one person, you can kill ten people, you can even kill tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
However, you can't kill all the people, right?
If we want to completely stabilize the situation there, we have to do it gradually."
"How do Marshal, Marshal Zhang, and Marshal Nangong plan to deal with this matter?"
"Now they are thinking of ways to support a new group of noble forces, as well as the emerging forces of princes and ministers.
Then use these new forces to fight against the old forces.
Judging by time, their plan should be almost in progress.
As long as the situation in these countries is completely stabilized, they can continue to lead their troops westward."
Zhou Baoyu nodded with a clear expression, lifted the wine gourd and took a big sip of wine.
"Yes, only by completely stabilizing the situation in these countries can we continue to march westward.
Otherwise, Zhang Shuai, Nangong Shuai and the others are likely to face the crisis of being attacked from both sides."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Baoyu happily.
"Baoyu, you are still very smart!
If you continue to be so smart, given time, you will be able to command the soldiers of the three armies and go to war."
When Zhou Baoyu heard Mr. Liu's teasing words, his face suddenly turned pale and he waved his hand quickly.
"Commander, please stop teasing the general.
I know best how capable the general is.
With his skills as a junior general, there is no problem in serving as a general who charges into battle with one guard.
As for the position of marshal of the three armies, I would never even dare to think about it."
"Humble, humble."
"Commander, I really have no humility. What I said is the truth.
With the general's character and the overall situation, he is not the material to be a marshal of the armed forces."
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and patted Zhou Baoyu's shoulder.
"Then find a way to change your character and try to make yourself that kind of material."
"Commander, the general is already so old, how can he change if he changes again?
What's more, the situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. How can it be so easy to change one's own character?
Won’t change it, won’t change it anymore.
The general is already very satisfied with his current situation."
Zhou Baoyu happily took a sip of wine and took a long breath with a calm expression.
"As the saying goes, he who is content is always happy!"
"Okay, now that you've said that, I won't say anything more."
"Commander, the general just wants to do one thing right now."
"Huh? What happened?"
Zhou Baoyu grinned and looked at Mr. Liu happily.
"The general is thinking about when I will have the opportunity to fight fiercely on the battlefield under your command again."
Liu Mingzhi exhaled with a sigh, took the wine gourd from Zhou Baoyu's hand, held it in his hand and poured it into his mouth.
"Good brother, there will be opportunities, there will be opportunities."
Zhou Baoyu suddenly became happy: "Commander, are you serious about this?"
Liu Mingzhi thrust the wine gourd into his hand and rolled his eyes angrily.
"Damn it, you are a battle-hardened veteran, can you be of some use?
Look at what you look like now, you look like you've never been on the battlefield."
"Yes, yes, the commander-in-chief is right. The general knows he is wrong."
Liu Mingzhi casually took out the jade fan and walked toward the pavilion slowly.
"Brother, Baoyu, let's not talk about these things.
Let’s go drink, the three of us brothers will have a rest after getting drunk today.”
"Okay, we won't go home until we get drunk."
"Commander, you said it, so you have to get drunk today!"
The three people who returned to the pavilion exchanged cups and cups again.
When the sun sets over the west mountain, the lanterns are already lit in the Liu Mansion.
Qi Yun, the Queen, her sisters, and Zhang Wanjun looked helplessly at the three people lying drunk on the stone table, and shook their heads angrily.
"Here comes someone."
"My slave is here."
"Take it back."
"Yes, slave sisters obey."
The next day.
About three poles high in the sun.
Liufu Garden, Qiu Shuang Pavilion.
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Chengqian, Zhou Tong'er and the others with a smile on his face. They looked narrowly at Zhou Baoyu who was sitting opposite with a depressed look on his face.
"uh-huh."
Liu Mingzhi coughed lightly and happily picked up the hangover soup on the stone table.
"Brother."
"Why."
"This is your hangover soup, drink it quickly."
"OK."
"Baoyu, this is yours."
Zhou Baoyu picked up his sobering soup and looked at his caring little cotton-padded jacket with a depressed expression.
After countless calculations, I still didn’t escape in the end!
Zhou Baoyu took a few sips of the hangover soup, and his eyes became more and more helpless.
Good daughter, good daughter.
Tell me what you think?
You are such a smart and pretty lady, why did you fall in love with Liu Chenggan?
What's so good about this guy? What's so good about him?
If you want to look good, go to uu reading www.uukanshu.com Not long...
Well, it looks really good.
If you're knowledgeable, it seems pretty good.
As for virtue, there is no choice either.
Ability, it seems, there is no telling.
Uh! Uh! Uh!
Zhou Baoyu groaned for a long time, trying to pick out an issue from Liu Chengqian that he didn't like.
Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find anything he was dissatisfied with.
As Liu Mingzhi said before.
With Liu Chengqian's appearance, virtue, and ability, he is an excellent candidate.
Having such a son-in-law with both political integrity and talent is definitely something worth showing off.
Zhou Tong'er noticed her father's strange eyes staring at her, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn rosy.
She secretly glanced at Mr. Liu, who was drinking sober soup with a smile on his face, and then glanced at Liu Chengqian who kept "giggling" next to him, and lowered his head shyly.
When Zhou Baoyu saw her daughter's shy look, her face became depressed again.
Liu Mingzhi placed the bottomed soup bowl on the table and looked at Zhou Baoyu who looked depressed with a smile.
"Baoyu."
Zhou Baoyu immediately withdrew his gaze from his daughter and turned to look at Young Master Liu.
