Confucian General [Ancient and Modern]

This world is already the same as this endgame, torn apart, it's hard to write.

Su Shang was silent for a moment, thinking about the smoky atmosphere in the court, and why the old gentleman retreated to the mountains and forests when he was old, why is it not another wise way to protect himself.

"You are already very powerful now..." Su Shang went out with him, and suddenly murmured to himself in a lonely way, "I am by your side, there is no use for me anymore."

"You are the most important." Ao Bie looked directly at Su Shang, and whispered in his eyes: "If I hadn't met you, what would I do, do you know?"

Su Shang shook his head in a daze.

Ao Bie smiled wantonly, "Father wants to rebel and ascend the throne, and it is logical to obey the mandate of heaven and the people. I will definitely become the crown prince. Without you, I might cut off the lifeblood of the descendants of the Ao family and completely cut off this branch."

Su Shang frowned, then clenched his fist and knocked him on the head, "If you don't learn well at a young age, how do I teach you?"

Ao Bie curled his lips, immediately put away the coldness on his face, and became like a normal child. He tugged on Su Shang's sleeve and said, "Brother Zishang, when are you leaving?"

"You know how to call me brother." Su Shang smiled, rubbed his head with his palm, and then sighed softly, "It's only been a few days, the next time we see you, I'm afraid it will be three years later."

"Then the better for us." Aobie supported Su Shang's arm and stood on the high railing, looking directly at him, "The day we meet again, you will be a general, and you will be used for me in the future, okay? good."

"Okay." Su Shang smiled brightly, took Ao Bie into his arms, and carried him back to the carriage.

The laughter of the two echoed in the bamboo forest like echoes, and the leaves made noises, as if some elves were jumping in the forest, responding to the happiness of the two.

"Sir, do you want to return?"

The old man was standing under the eaves supported by the boy, looking at the two people who were gradually going away with heavy eyes, sighed for a long time, and murmured words that the boy could not understand clearly.

"Wisdom is extremely easy, the old man has calculated his whole life, but he can't figure it out. In this world, everything is tied to this young general..."

After a pause, the old man stopped again, looking back at the direction in which the carriage was gradually leaving.

It seems that just now, the boy put Ao Bie in the carriage, Ao Bie got out and sat beside him, wrapped his arms around his waist, and buried himself in his arms.

The old man smiled again, and said loudly: "Everything descends from the sky..."

"Little boy, do you know what the next sentence is?"

"This, this..." The little boy was ignorant, staggering and quickening his pace to catch up with the old man, "The student doesn't know what the meaning is, probably...one thing falls one thing?"

"One thing descends one thing?" The old man paused again, and then laughed again, "Wonderful, wonderful."

"Why did the old man suddenly let me in?" Su Shang asked after the two of them had dinner in the evening after changing Aobie's clothes, and then wrapped him in a thick quilt.

Ao Bie was tense for a day, returned to the familiar place and finally relaxed, half-closed his eyes in Su Shang's familiar and warm embrace, drowsy, "Well, I asked him to take you as a disciple, he must It’s only willing to say that you broke the chess game.”

Su Shang was startled, and then he was puzzled again: "But, why did you let him accept me as a disciple?"

Aobie pursed his lips and opened his eyes, "Do you rely on your strength to become a military camp? Even if your father will pave the way for you, he is the only one who has to avoid the eyes and ears of everyone. If the teacher trains you, no matter what everyone in the court thinks Before you determine your purpose, several forces will first protect your career advancement."

Su Shang nodded when he heard the words, "What you said makes sense..."

At his age, he is not as clear as a child.

Su Shang blushed slightly, somewhat embarrassed, and covered Aobie more tightly with the quilt, and listened to him say: "Ah Shang, even if the external conditions are in your favor, in the barracks, you will Just remember to take care of yourself."

"I know." Su Shang gently patted Ao Bie's body, who was warm in his arms and had some fragrance, and said softly, "Too aggressive a newcomer will only bring disaster, I will be cautious in my words and deeds."

"Don't be so careful..." Ao Bie muttered, shrinking into his arms again, "The Ao family is always sealed, and those small officials will naturally know who recommended you, I will let you go to the barracks It's training, not making you feel wronged..."

Su Shang chuckled, pinched Ao Bie's face, "You kid always says some sarcastic things."

Ao Bie grinned, covered Su Shang's neck with his hands, buried his face in his chest, stopped talking and gradually fell asleep.

On the day Su Shang left with the army, Ao Bie rode a horse alone and chased him to the city gate without telling anyone.

Due to the army going out, many people in the city will inevitably want to get out, so the investigation is very strict. Ao Bie's status is special, and no one is with him. The officers and soldiers guarding the city dare not let him out, but they dare not let him Get out of the way.

It was also because of this that Aobie led the horse that Su Shang had raised since he was a child and stood at the foot of the wall until the sunset.

There are crying people everywhere on the side of the road, new and old women, young children, and some babbling children are held in the arms of their mothers and watch their father or elder brother embark on the journey from then on, and there may be no return date.

"My lord, the army is gone. The people you sent..." The gate of the city is about to close. Although Ao Bie is hiding his body, the guards dare not close the gate, even if the long line is no longer there. There was no trace of any of them.

Ao Bie came back to his senses, pulled the rein silently and jumped up, walked to the other side of the path and returned to Ao's mansion.

Among the stables, Ao Bie looked at Liangju, who had no appetite at all and was circling impatiently, before he smiled, "When Su Shang comes back again, he will definitely become the number one God of the new dynasty." Will, go down in history."

He looked at Liangju's gentle and harmless big eyes, gently touched its submissive head with one hand, and said softly: "He is out fighting for me on the battlefield, and I will fight for me in this treacherous court." He wiped out heresies. He has had many bumps in his life, and what he wants to see most is nothing more than a peaceful and prosperous world, just like the teacher."

Ao Bie's voice became softer and softer, he hugged the horse's neck and put his head on its long face, "As long as it is what he wants, I will give it to him."

Aobie has been running around in the bamboo forest of Aofu these days. After a year and a half passed, he has already lost a lot of weight, but his stature has grown, and the restrained light in his eyes shows how rich he has learned .

It takes three years for all the soldiers who have entered the army to return home, but this time the newly recruited army has won the battle at Sanliguan that has been deadlocked for several years. Soldiers can go home to visit relatives.

As soon as he heard the news, Aobie couldn't sit still anymore.

He seldom had the time to show his emotions, and therefore, when Xiaotong saw the almost unconcealable ecstasy on his face, he was stunned for a long time before he could react.

"When will the army return?" Ao Bie suppressed the joy in his heart and asked.

The little boy came back to his senses and didn't dare to delay at all. He lowered his head and said respectfully the news he had found out, "I heard that he set off a month ago. Counting the time, we will be outside the city gate in half a month."

"Okay." Ao Bie took a deep breath and twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but during the year and a half since Su Shang left, he had never smiled, instead he felt a little stiff and strange for a while .

"Go to sir and get the silver armor." He closed the book in his hand and put it aside casually, then stopped the little boy who was ordered to go out, and said, "I'll go by myself... Where is the army now?"

"When we arrived at Wenshou City, we are resting and stationed." The boy quickly replied, then looked at the figure of Ao Bie who had left, and was stunned for a while in the room before chasing him again, "Senior brother, senior brother... I heard that this time he led the army. The young general who came back is Senior Brother Su..."

The little boy's voice gradually stopped, panting and looking at the smooth silver armor in the room, he boldly asked: "Is this for Senior Brother Su?"

"Yes." Aobie put away the silver armor and put it in the bag with a rare and pleasant expression, and then walked out of the room, "Tell the teacher, I have to leave here for half a month."

"Hey, brother..."

The army stationed only had two days to rest, and everyone was homesick. If it weren't for the fact that most people were really tired, I'm afraid they wouldn't even want to have the time to sit down.

Su Shang was still wearing the dark armor issued by the barracks, watching the gradually familiar scenery on the roadside, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart no matter what.

Before long, he will see the child he misses so much.

His smile was reflected in the bonfire, and the soldier on the side saw it, and smiled heartily in front of him, "General, did you think of your beautiful wife at home?"

Wife?

Su Shang was taken aback for a moment, then thought of Ao Bie's young age, pouting his mouth coquettishly and coquettishly, and smiled again, "It's just a young brother at home. I don't know if I will be recognized again."

"I will definitely do it." The soldier's dark face had a bright smile, which is the spirit that only soldiers have. Even though they have been away from the battlefield for half a month, the smile of victory has never faded from their face. .

Su Shang smiled when he heard the words, and was about to say something, but he heard the sound of chaos in front of the tent, followed by the sound of gun blades hitting, and the soldiers around him immediately picked up their weapons and stood up, shouting towards the other side, saying: "What's going on? ——!”

"Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." came from a distance, Su Shang's expression changed suddenly, and his legs felt a little weak for a moment.

He reacted very quickly, stood up and walked towards the gate of the camp. Surrounded by a dozen soldiers guarding the camp, a young man with a rebellious but tired face immediately smiled at him, "Ah Shang—— !"
