Bright Spring

"Of course I know what it's like to be poor!" Zhu Gaoxu said in his voice.Miao Jin just came over, and heard this sentence first without thinking.

Miao Jin felt a little unbelievable for this person who was born as a nobleman to say such a sentence.

A gray-faced young sergeant walking nearby raised his head and said: "My old man said that the money was used to build a house, and the rest was reserved for me to marry a wife. My old man also said that our family has received the favor of the King of Han, so we must not forget it." , I have to sacrifice my life to the prince!"

Miao Jin looked sideways, and only by squinting her eyes could she see the expression on Zhu Gaoxu's face clearly through the gauze scarf of the veiled hat.He didn't seem to be moved, but his face was a little ugly, with a sense of guilt as if he had done something wrong.

Zhu Gaoxu's rich expression flashed by, and he quickly stopped. He breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice as if his conscience had discovered him: "Brother, remember to try your best to live."

Sure enough, the military household was also surprised by Zhu Gaoxu's words, and blurted out: "Every day, the generals tell the younger ones to charge bravely and risk their lives..."

Zhu Gaoxu's voice said: "There is nothing wrong! You are military households. You are brave and do your duty. Do your duty well to live a better life." After saying that, he flattered his horse and walked up the slope first.

There are many vegetable fields and crop fields around, and there are several streets and dense houses, forming a village-like place, which is a market.In this area densely covered with hills and slopes, most of the common people live scatteredly. With such a densely populated area, it is a market for trading and doing business.

Miao Jin saw Zhu Gaoxu again behind a large tile-roofed house that served as the headquarters of the Chinese army.

He turned around, "The guards are still cleaning up the house, and it will be done in a while."

There are many plum trees planted here, but there are not many leaves left, and there are no flowers or fruits.Miao Jin looked at the scenery, walked over, and said softly, "I heard the King of Han talking to that sergeant earlier, and it was really strange."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head slightly, and then showed a very familiar thoughtful look.After a while he opened his mouth and said: "I often think about it, barbaric and cruel warriors may be fierce, but they are certainly not the most skilled troops."

"Yeah." Miao Jin nodded to deal with it, she was not very interested in how to fight and kill, but she was very interested in Gao Xu's opinion on how to fight and kill.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "A true warrior and the most important military officer must have a deep love for this land, for the people on this land and the unique civilization created by them. Only in this way, brothers will not only To fight for military pay, or to be forced to fight, will be willing to fight for it."

"Love?" Miao Jin looked at him suspiciously.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, he opened his mouth and stopped talking, as if he wanted to explain, but he seemed to find that he didn't know how to explain, so he had to give up.

Miao Jin didn't speak for a while, and was also thinking about the meaning of that word.There are words in Jianai Feigong, but Zhu Gaoxu seems to give it a new meaning.

Zhu Gaoxu's voice interrupted her contemplation, and his voice whispered, "Miao Jin should know that I have always disapproved of, and even a little disgusted with, the Confucian ethics in the world. But then I gradually felt that it was wrong to treat it this way, because I am also born on this land."

Miao Jin said casually: "It's not just Confucianism. There is a ghost town near here, and there are many relics of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. The king of Han can go and see."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Let's wait until the battle is over."

"My lord!" A voice came from the back door.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and called the sergeant over.The sergeant delivered a letter and resigned.

Miao Jin waited for Zhu Gaoxu to open the letter and read it. She walked around for a while, admiring the buildings and scenery that were different from Chengdu City.But she still pays attention to Zhu Gaoxu's expression from the corner of her eye, he still smiles from time to time, and his face is serious from time to time, but his eyes are always piercing.

After he finished reading the letter, Miao Jin said in a casual tone, "Letter from home?"

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her, nodded and said: "Wei'er wrote it, and you were mentioned, let me remind you to pay attention to your body when you sleep in the open air. Yao Ji and Du Qianrui also wrote a few words in it."

Miao Jin smiled and said: "If the king of Han writes back, thank the princess for me." She immediately asked softly, "Does the king of Han also love his wives, concubines, princes, family and friends?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded without hesitation.He was silent for a moment, and then said: "The princess said that you live and sleep in the open, I think it is envious."

Miao Jin slightly tilted her head, but did not make a sound.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Miao Jin knows, what are women most afraid of?"

Miao Jin said: "What does the King of Han think it is?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Time. But Wei'er and others all have the title to wait for the time, Miao Jin does not."

Miao Jin immediately looked at Zhu Gaoxu, her glamorous almond eyes were uncertain, and finally sighed lightly, noncommittal.

The beauty is easy to grow old, perhaps it is the reason why women can't let go.

...Miao Jin finally let out a breath at this time, and said in a soothing and fluent tone: "When the King of Han raised his troops, he said many times that he wanted to find justice and severely punish sins, and he didn't seem to hesitate; but you never thought that raising troops to sweep the world is a good thing, Because you know that many innocent people will die in a war. However, if you don’t fight with soldiers, the court will definitely kill the King of Han and everyone in the King’s House of Han.”

She looked directly into Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, observed his subtle emotional changes, and said in a decisive tone: "This is the right and wrong in Han Wang's heart!"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I didn't expect there to be such a smart person here. Not only did I raise troops to resist, but there were no obstacles that could shake my determination to win! Once a war starts, it can only end when one side is completely defeated. It's Gao Chi!"

Miao Jin frowned, as if she could understand Zhu Gaoxu's words and deeds a little bit, but she felt that it was still not clear enough.

Zhu Gaoxu's voice said again: "People are cynical, hesitant and depressed because they can't find inner peace, and they do things that are unwilling, disgusting, or extremely guilty. It is too difficult to find your own peace."

Miao Jin smiled and said: "I told the King of Han that Taoism came out of the world and Confucianism came into the world. Many people have two diametrically opposite minds at the same time, but they can be integrated into one."

Zhu Gaoxu paced thoughtfully for a long time.

He stopped and asked, "Does Miao Jin believe in Buddhism?"

Miao Jin shook her head with a smile, "Don't forget, I am still a Taoist priest. Buddhism and Taoism used to fight fiercely, but now they have begun to blend together."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I don't believe it either, I believe in the way of heaven."

"The Way of Heaven?" Miao Jin repeated curiously.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Sheep eat grass, people eat sheep, and people eat people. This is the food chain, and it is one of the ways of heaven. If all living beings can be kind and compassionate, all the rules of this world will have to be overthrown!"

Therefore, there is no good or evil in the way of heaven. Killers and cruel people who believe in the way of heaven can try to find tranquility; the biggest obstacle to tranquility is not anger, but guilt. "

Miao Jin was noncommittal, but still patiently listened to his nonsense, she couldn't help but smiled softly, "Is this the martial virtue that the King of Han preached?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I'm perfecting it."

Not long after, the house was tidied up, and the pile of maps was placed in the main room.The two stopped talking and walked into the house.

Miao Jin watched Zhu Gaoxu busy, but she didn't say a word anymore, her eyes followed his figure, silently thinking about this person.

Thanks to the gift of the King of Han, Miao Jin, who had no interest in fighting at first, is now very interested.Although Zhu Gaoxu in front of him is a vassal king, he is actually a general of the three armies.

He is different from all the famous generals recorded in history books and classics, and many of his remarks are completely opposite to the ancient generals.With 10 troops at the beginning of the war, and more than [-] million imperial court troops, is it feasible to use his ideas to manage the army?

Miao Jin is about the same age as Gao Xu, or because she was recognized as a little aunt before, she can't help but feel a little bit elder.She has experienced Zhu Gaoxu's growth as a generation of generals very carefully; this trip with the army is obviously worthwhile.

Recently, the army has been marching in Sichuan without harassment, and there are food and grass supplies along the way, so it moves relatively quickly.It was originally a very peaceful period of time, but Miao Jin could already guess from Gao Xu's emotions that a big war was about to happen, and it might not be easy.

Chapter 4 Responsibilities

In the evening of the next day, Zhu Gaoxu's troops arrived in Chongqing Fucheng with 23 guards on foot and about 12 people.

But the army did not enter the city, and camped among the villages in the southwestern part of the city; Gein Hanwang's army would not stay in Chongqing Fucheng for too long, and the Dajiang Ferry was in the southwest.

Fucheng is like a peninsula, located at the confluence of two rivers, surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by Dajiang River and Jialing River.Zhu Gaoxu ordered the governors and guard commanders to set up the camp, and he took people into the city to meet the forward Qu Neng.Qu Neng went out of the city to greet him, and led Zhu Gaoxu and others to the vicinity of Dongshuimen.

Qu Neng's vanguard army has more than [-] troops, almost twice that of Mu Sheng's troops left behind in Chengdu.
