Get the trap system at the beginning and unify the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 78
"These things will be discussed later."

Gao Shun thought about it, and said peacefully.

He couldn't make any promises to Zhang Cai, neither could nor dared to.

Although a rough plan has been made, he still understands the reason that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

There's no need to say what I'm going to do now, or be appointed as a marquis or minister, or make contributions. The lofty ambitions I had when I first crossed over have been obliterated by reality.

Now, it is good to ensure that the lives of himself and his subordinates will not be threatened.

On this basis, it is his development direction to keep some backup players.

…………

Nameless Town.

Every household is like a festival, but there is no festive atmosphere like a festival.

The old man sat silently on the bench, the woman was busy working in front of the stove silently, and the children stopped playing around.

Tan Liu took Wang Bei for a walk, and all he saw was this scene.

"Brother Tan Liu, where are we going?" Wang Bei asked with a burden in his arms.

"Go to Zhang Sima's house."

"Where are you going?" Wang Bei asked curiously.

"Where are you going?" Tan Liu repeated it first, and then said with a smile: "Because Zhang Sima is afraid of his wife and dare not go home, so we will help him with his military salary."

Wang Bei was thoughtful, and just about to say something, he heard Tan Liu add: "This must not be heard by Zhang Sima, he will definitely not admit it."

The town is so big, and Zhang Cai's house is not far away, so he walked there in a short while.

In broad daylight, the door was not closed, and the two walked in directly.

As soon as he entered the door, Tan Liu saw Zhang Bao squatting on the ground, carving something. After careful observation, he could see that it looked like a wooden knife.

"Abao, where's your mother?"

"Inside the house." Zhang Bao looked up, then lowered his head, and shouted, "Mother, Sixth Brother Tan is here!"

A woman came out from the back room with a sallow face, wiped her hands, exchanged pleasantries, then looked at Wang Bei beside Tan Liu, and asked, "This is?"

"Newly met brother."

"Oh." The woman named Xiao Cui responded, and asked again: "Where is Lao Zhang?"

"This……"

Tan Liu, who was joking with Wang Bei just now, was speechless for a moment. Cancan said: "Sister-in-law, this is Zhang Sima's military pay. He asked me to bring it to you."

After speaking, he cast a look at Wang Bei.

Wang Beishi didn't know the ways of the world, but he was not a fool, he was quite clever. He quickly put the bundle on the wooden table, and stood obediently beside Tan Liu.

Tan Liu explained: "The general has something to do and asked Zhang Sima to help, so he can't come back."

He said this without hesitation, letting Gao Shun take the blame, without any pressure in his heart.

"Look, Zhang Sima's military salary is quite a lot? More than twenty, it's enough for Ah Hu to call him a wife."

The woman stared at Tan Liu first, a trace of helplessness flashed across her sallow face, she sighed, and said:
"I see that everyone else has come back. Old Zhang probably has to go on a long journey and dare not come back."

"Sister-in-law, you know." Tan Liuqiang asked with a smile.

"It was so lively before, and all the cheerleaders have come back. It's impossible for them all to come back from the army, and I heard from the lady next door that when his boy came back this time because the army was going to travel far, the general gave two Days of family leave."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again, as if complaining: "When I married into their family, he was still honest, who knew that when he heard about recruiting soldiers, he couldn't hold back, and left the youngest son who had just reached the moon I ran away, but fortunately, Lao Zhang’s parents were still there at that time, and they could help me look after the children.

This trip lasted for three years, but fortunately the distance was not too far, and I came back several times in the middle.

After I came back, I thought I could live in peace and stability, but I didn't expect to run away again after staying for less than half a year.

Until a few years ago, I sneaked back from the army and showed me what kind of officer I was in the army. You said, what is the use of being an officer?Didn't he become a deserter in the end? "

Tan Liu stood there awkwardly, and Zhang Bao had long been used to it, and gave Tan Liu a look of "there is still a lot to come".

Sure enough, Xiaocui took a breath, and then babbled again: "That's why the two boys don't kiss his father, tell me, it starts from the full moon and doesn't come back until the age, can this be kissed?

I don't know what kind of drug Lao Zhang took to become obsessed, and he only wanted to go to the army, thinking about going to the battlefield. What good is going to the battlefield?It is to die!

And the general, they all said that the general is good, the food for the army is good, and it is good for them, but what does it have to do with me?My old Zhang is very old, and he lied to him to go to the army. What happened, how should my family live? "

When she said this, she completely forgot that what she said just now was that Zhang Cai took the initiative to run into the army.

"Let me see, that general is not a good person. He has nothing. He cheated him away with some money. Xiao Liu, let me tell you, you have to be more careful, and watch over for me." Old Zhang, be careful of being betrayed!"

"Yeah." Tan Liu didn't know how to answer the words, so he had to agree.

Fortunately, Xiaocui didn't intend to make things difficult for him, she just wanted to complain a few words, and when the complaints were over, she got down to business.

"Tell me, where are you going this time, how far is it, and when will you be back?"

Seeing Tan Liu's embarrassing face and not answering, he frowned and asked in doubt, "Didn't I tell you? It's impossible. There's no army that's leaving, and the soldiers don't know where to go."

"No, I want to say..." Tan Liu was a little timid at this time.

He can face the enemy without changing his face on the battlefield, he can raise a big knife to splash blood on his face and cry out pain, but he can't handle this chore.

After all, my father and mother died a long time ago, and I don't have a wife.

Looking at the woman on the opposite side who was vaguely about to get angry, she was a little apprehensive.

I wanted to ask Wang Bei to talk about it, but this kid suddenly became stupid, or even smarter, no matter how he winked, he pretended not to understand.

Now I'm starting to regret why I took on this mission.

Originally, I just wanted to go back to the village to show off, but just because I just heard that Zhang Cai would not come back, I volunteered to help him convey the news.

I didn't expect it to be like this now... It's scary.

There is no way, if you don't talk, something is really wrong, and now even Zhang Bao looks up at him.

Tan Liu bit the bullet and said:
"Go to Xudu..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Cui interrupted: "Xu Du? Where is it? How far? Why haven't I heard of it?"

I've never heard of it. Even Tan Liu didn't know where Xu Du was at first. He found out about it through Gao Shun.

"Xu Du is here, right here..."

"Don't talk about it, just tell me how far it is, dozens of miles? Or more than 100 miles?"

Seeing that Tan Liu was silent, Xiao Cui said incredulously, "Could it be two or three hundred miles?"

"No, it's... a thousand miles."

The room suddenly became extremely silent.

Tan Liu and Wang Bei lowered their heads and stared at the tips of their shoes.

In stark contrast to the two of them are mother and son Xiaocui and Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao was originally carving a wooden knife with his head down, but he was also listening to Tan Liu with his ears upright. When he heard the three words "one thousand miles", he used the small carving knife in his hand with great force, and directly cut the wooden knife that he had already said. The rudimentary wooden knife was carved and broken.

He also stared, opened his mouth, and looked at Tan Liu in disbelief, as if he wanted to question him, or wondered if his ears were wrong.

And Xiao Cui froze in place, her sallow face suddenly turned white, and then immediately turned a strange red, her mouth was open, but she couldn't utter a word.

Tan Liu and Wang Bei didn't dare to speak, just waiting for others to break the silence.

"Then...how long does it take to come back?"

It wasn't Xiao Cui who spoke, but Zhang Bao who came back to his senses.

"I don't know, the general didn't say, maybe one or two years, maybe three to five years." Tan Liu muffled.

Xiaocui finally made a move. She first stretched out her hands tremblingly, like an old man over eighty years old, and then took a few steps forward, making a gesture to rush out.

"I'm going to ask General Lao Shizi why this is happening, and I'm going to ask him for an explanation!"

Although her movements were fast, she was still not as fast as Tan Liu, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She was stopped by Tan Liu, and when Zhang Bao realized it, he was also stubbornly holding back.

"Sister-in-law, it's useless for you to go. This is not the general's decision, but the general's general." Tan Liu said bitterly.

He thought that Xiaocui would have a reaction, but he didn't expect such a big reaction.

It also underestimates a woman's complaints, even resentment, about forcing her husband away from home.

Yes, in Xiaocui's mind, Zhang Cai was forcibly conscripted, otherwise why Gao Shun had taken his soul away as soon as Gao Shun came, after he had been at home for several years.

After being pulled to a chair by several people, Xiaocui had calmed down, but she was still cursing in a low voice.

Tan Liu didn't know how to persuade him, and he couldn't leave, so he had no choice but to stand aside.

"Mom, if not, I'll join the army too, so I can help you look after dad in the army."

Zhang Bao on the side suddenly said.

But then a slap full of calluses was slapped on the head, and then moved to the ears.

"What are you talking about! Your father is gone, and you want to follow, don't you? Are your wings stiff? Do you want to fly solo? Is being a soldier something that can be decided with a slap of the head?"

Xiaocui twisted Zhang Bao's ears, and Zhang Bao bared his teeth while scolding.

"Let me tell you, I can't take care of your father. You have to take care of me before you get married. If I say no, I can't."

"Hey, mother, mother, I know, I'm just talking!"

Zhang Bao wanted to break free, but his ears hurt as soon as he tried hard, so he could only let his mother twist, and then kept apologizing.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Tan Liu was relieved that he didn't have the energy to rush to the barracks to question Gao Shun just now.

As for Gao Shun's swearing in dialect and local dialect just now, he just pretended not to hear it.

Or else?Should I help Gao Shun refute, help Xiao Cui convey, or scold along with her?

Neither is right.

Tan Liu looked at the woman who was still angry, and didn't dare to say anything, but he still helped Gao Shun with a few words:

"Sister-in-law, I know it's not good to do this, but it's really not up to the general to decide, and the general also listens to the order of the superior.

Moreover, the general also gave us a chance before, and after paying the military salary, he asked us to choose whether to go to Xudu with him or go home.

And there is no penalty for choosing to go home, but Zhang Sima chose to follow the general to Xudu. "

Now Tan Liu scolded Zhang Cai without hesitation, he only hoped to appease Xiaocui's anger, even if it was transferred.

It's just that his words had the opposite effect.

"This old thing." Xiao Cui scolded through gritted teeth, and then asked, "How did the rest choose? I'm not talking about an old bachelor like you."

Tan Liu naturally understood the meaning of the words. As for saying that he was an old bachelor, he was only a little dissatisfied with the word "old".

Where is it old?The general is older than him, and he didn't see the general looking for a wife?
Obviously the general is the old bachelor, but he is barely a bachelor.

But he still can tell which is the key point.

It doesn't matter whether you are an old bachelor or not, and it doesn't matter whether you are a general. The important thing is how to tell Xiao Cui so that she can minimize her resentment towards Zhang Cai and Gao Shun.

You know, when making the choice yesterday, Zhang Cai was the one who made the final choice. There are family members who are the pillars of the family, and it is Zhang Cai who takes the lead, and the rest choose to follow Gao Shun to Xudu.

Otherwise, it is estimated that Chen Fu and the others will not be the only ones who left, there may be hundreds of people.

Naturally, such things cannot be said directly, and they have to be polished by themselves.

"Sister-in-law, you know how good the general is to us. Everyone must choose to go with the general. Who would be willing to leave the army?"

Tan Liu is not afraid that Xiaocui will go to the family members of other soldiers to inquire about it. Whether other soldiers will tell the truth to their family members is another matter.

Besides, even if he knew that he had lied to her, so what? At that time, he would have already been in Xudu.

"Is it like this for everyone?" Xiao Cui questioned in disbelief.

"That's true. For example, Chen Fu and the others. You know the conditions of Chen Fu's family. He must not be able to leave." Tan Liu said such things without batting an eye. After all, it is the truth, and it is not a lie. : "Except for Chen Fu, there are about 30 veterans among them, and there are about [-] or [-] recruits recruited a few days ago."

"It's like this." Xiaocui let out a long breath.

She also knows what is going on in Chen Fu's family. It can be said that if it weren't for the settlement allowance Chen Fu received as a soldier and the care of their neighbors, the family would not be able to survive at all.

Therefore, she still believed what Tan Liu said. After all, she knew Zhang Cai well, and this was indeed something he could do.

Seeing that Xiaocui's expression softened, Tan Liu said again:

"And what I said just now is a bit exaggerated. Although Xudu is far away, we may come back after staying there for a few months, and it may not take half a year.

After all, we are an army and we are going to fight. Although I have never been to Xudu, I heard from the general that it is our base camp. How can anyone fight in the base camp? "

Tan Liu's explanation and persuasion made Xiao Cui and Zhang Bao feel much more at ease.

Seeing that the two of them would not make any surprising moves again, Tan Liu felt a little more relaxed.

I thought in my heart that I would never do this thing again, but said on my mouth: "Sister-in-law, it's nothing, I'll go back first?"

Then the two stepped out of the gate and successfully retreated.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Tan Liu felt relaxed.

Not only that, but Wang Bei also felt the same way. Although he just stood aside and watched Xiao Transparent just now, and didn't receive any responsibilities or questions, he was still very nervous.

So much so that coming out now is as easy as escaping from a tiger's mouth.

But he still said with lingering fear: "Brother Tan, don't take such a task next time, it feels as tiring as fighting a battle.

Don't take me here if you pick it up. "

"It's like you have been on the battlefield and fought in a war." Tan Liu rolled his eyes at him and said, "When you go back this time, be more careful with your mouth and know what to say and what not to say."

The two looked at each other with a tacit understanding, saying that they would not tell what happened today.
