Not long after everyone had settled down, a horse from the front brought bad news: "The Boog army is overwhelming. Any tribesmen who don't surrender will be massacred. Corpses are everywhere wherever they go, and the lives of all people are in ruins. I'm afraid they will be defeated in a few days."
If we want to attack the Luochuan Department, we need Brother An to make the decision."
Nalan held back a handful of cold sweat and said tremblingly: "You go down first and notify me immediately if there is any new news..."
After listening to Qingmeng, he preached to everyone present: "Although Bug is brave and good at fighting, he does not know how to care about the people's livelihood. He will massacre wherever he passes, and sooner or later he will lose the support of the people. He only leads a mere 20,000 troops, and
We have a standing army of 50,000 in Luochuan Department, even if he has extraordinary abilities, he will not be able to escape death!"
Nalan nodded and said: "From today on, Zhang Qingmeng is the general of our army. His orders are equal to mine. You must not disobey!" After saying that, Nalan handed the Buck family's jade into Qingmeng's hands.
With this jade, anyone can be on an equal footing with An Ge and command the world.
"I also hope that everyone will make more military exploits and not have second thoughts. If anyone is stubborn, he will be dealt with according to military law!" Qing Meng held up the jade symbolizing power, which looked particularly beautiful under the refraction of the light.
All the generals replied in unison: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders!"
Qing Meng smiled proudly, his arrogant character has not changed. Apparently Zhang's father was paying attention, and he planned to talk to Qing Meng after the meeting.
But he did not wait for the opportunity. After the meeting, Qingmeng studied tactics with Mu Mingrui, Nalan, Boyle and others. Father Zhang could only stand outside the door and look into the big tent.
"Bouge is impatient and only leads 20,000 soldiers. If we can lure the enemy deep and ambush around the Luochuan Department, when he breaks into it with the wolf formation, the ambush army will first attack its weak rear.
, causing his formation to be thrown into chaos, and the rest of the army to encircle and 'make dumplings', which will definitely make it difficult for him to fly!"
Qing Meng pointed to the sheepskin map, and everyone seemed to be listening with only one ear. After he finished speaking, everyone praised him.
Only Father Zhang, who was standing outside the door, noticed the flaw in it. He said uneasily: "Although this plan is good, there is indeed one aspect that is not well thought out."
Qing Meng was so proud, how could he allow others to correct his mistakes? When he saw it was Zhang's father, he became even more angry and cursed: "My plan is foolproof, how can it be incomplete? Besides, who are you to correct it?"
"As my father, I was a bandit general of the Taiwei Empire, and your grandfather was the governor of Liangjiang. Only because of this do I have the courage to correct tactical mistakes." Zhang's father retorted. (Governor of Liangjiang: See related notes for the work "2"
)
Qingmeng stared at Zhang's father fiercely and laughed sarcastically: "That's not what the joke said. I was born in your family since I was a child. Why haven't I enjoyed any official role from you?"
"Your grandfather

They are Westerners who advocate learning from the West to carry out reforms and vigorously develop commerce, which has touched the interests of those conservatives. Because of this, my family, the Zhang family, has declined, and they have all been demoted to common people and have fallen here."
Qingmeng had never heard of this. In his memory, his father seemed to have endless drinking, his mother seemed to have endless injuries, and his grandfather jumped into a well and drowned as soon as he could remember.
"That old man is crazy, and he is the governor of Liangjiang. Don't laugh to death!" Qing Meng hammered the table, her thighs trembling.
Zhang's father's face darkened and he said angrily: "That's your grandfather. Because he couldn't realize the dream of ZTE, he was doubted by the emperor and ostracized by the officials. He was finally driven crazy and jumped into a well with hatred.
die……"
Qingmeng couldn't refute. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was already treasonous, so he could only stand there awkwardly and said nothing. Seeing that the situation was not good, Boyle smiled bitterly and said: "It's time to eat, let's go and rest first."
Well..." Then he took Nalan's wrist and walked out of the tent.
"Where is the fault?" Mu Mingrui asked, staring at Zhang's father.
"Let's not talk about whether the child can use the wolf formation. Even if he uses the wolf formation, he will naturally know that the rear is vulnerable to attacks. He will definitely be cautious. There is no way to just hit him." Zhang's father said loudly.
argued.
Qing Meng was so furious that he tore up the sheepskin map and left alone and sulking. After hearing what Zhang's father said, Mu Mingrui was filled with admiration: "The analysis is in place. If the troops attacking the rear are blocked, the entire tactic will be difficult to carry out."
,It’s just Mengzi…”
He looked at Qing Meng's back outside the station and sighed deeply: "With his arrogant character, it is difficult to accept advice. I just hope that the generals leading the rear troops will protect themselves."
Father Zhang's lips trembled. He didn't expect his son to hate him so much. He wanted to show off some of his military skills to make his son happy, but he didn't realize it and made him even more angry.
"What should I do?" Zhang's father sobbed.
Seeing Zhang's father's disappointed expression, Mu Mingrui seemed to have guessed his mood. He stepped forward and said softly: "I don't know what kind of hatred there is between you, but Mengzi is by no means an unkind person.
, go to him again in the evening, it’s not that he doesn’t want to forgive you, it’s just that his arrogant character does not allow him to do so, go and talk to him, if you are willing to admit your mistake.”
Father Zhang was already in tears, and his palms like dead wood kept wiping his wrinkled face. He did not long for his son to forgive him, he only hoped to call him "Father" again.
In the evening, the clouds were burned red, and the golden light fluttered enthusiastically on the grassland. It was very pleasant. The wind blew gently, rolling the green lawn. Looking around, it seemed like
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Buddha saw the horizon.
Qingmeng was sitting alone on the vast grassland, looking at the slowly setting sun, holding a slightly longer grass stem in his mouth. What was he thinking at this moment? No one knew.
Father Zhang came quietly and sat beside him gently. Qing Meng turned around. When the two looked at each other, Father Zhang smiled sheepishly, with the wrinkles on his face squeezed together.
"Son, I have indeed made a mistake as a father all these years. When I was young, I always thought about galloping on the battlefield, poetry and distant places, and completely forgot about your mother and your feelings. But now that I am old, I understand everything.
." Father Zhang got straight to the point and spoke slowly.
Seeing that Qing Meng was silent, he explained regretfully: "I knew that the mistakes I made as a father were not worth repaying even if I used my life to repay them. But when I figured it out, it was already too late. Even if I regretted it, I would not regret it."
What’s the use?”
Qing Meng bit her lips, still facing away from him.
"Have you suffered for so many years? You have no relatives or friends, and you are alone in this troubled world. Even if you are wronged, you have nowhere to complain and can only hide it silently. I know it, although you hate me and hate me for not being kind to you.
You are mother and son, but I still know that you want your father to care about you, because you are just a child!"
"Lies...all lies..." Although Qing Meng muttered this in his heart, the tears on his face poured out from the corners of his eyes inadvertently, and his lips were bitten until they turned blue - he didn't want to cry.
Yes, for people like Qing Meng who are wandering alone in society, when they are wronged and have no place to express their feelings, their hearts become even harder. They protect themselves with invisible armor and declare to the outside world that they are fearless. In a corner where no one is around,
Sobbing silently, they are also human beings, they also have feelings, and they are also children who long for the care of their parents. They can only allow themselves to cry for a little while at a time, because they are afraid of exposing their fragile side and finding it difficult to face this society.
"Of course, as a father, I don't expect you to forgive me. As a father, I just hope that you can know that you are not alone. I am by your side. Whether you cry or make a fuss, I will not dislike it.
Just cry out the grievances you have suffered for these decades, or even act coquettishly in my arms. It must be hard to seal yourself in the armor so early, right?" Father Zhang said as he spoke.
, I couldn’t help crying.
"Really, people tend to be sentimental when they get old, and these tears come out suddenly..." Zhang's father said with tears: "Son, I have never heard you call me father since you left home. Now I feel free to
Call me and make up for all the vacancies in the past few decades..."
Qingmeng's face was already filled with tears. He covered his face with his hands, trembling and sobbing. This was the price he had accumulated for his growth.
In the end, he did not cry out in front of Zhang's father until he left. Looking at Zhang's thin back, with tears in his eyes, he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Father... dear..."
