Chapter 407 Joining the Army
Regarding Su Jingyue's doubts, Su Jingchen, who is an older brother, is very willing to explain his doubts.
"The terrain on the Great Mongolian side is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They send a small group of troops to harass the border. It is okay to grab some things from time to time, but it is impossible for them to annex our Great Liang.
For a hundred years, as long as we beat the Mongolian country hard, they will take the initiative to ask for peace, send tribute or send the princess over, but as long as we let him delay for a few years, they will come to harass our border again, but we are currently You can only drive them away, but you can't completely annihilate them, let alone chase them to the other side of the river to fight.
I heard that a few decades ago, there was a general in the southern border who was so jealous that he vowed to razed the Great Mongolia to the ground. He chased them to the other side of the mountain, and only less than a third of them returned after tens of thousands of horses.
The people of Great Mongolia are very cunning. When our people go there, they never confront each other head-on. Instead, they always disperse and sneak attacks. Moreover, there are endless mountains in Great Mongolia. It is very easy for unfamiliar people to enter the mountains. The most frightening thing about getting lost is that there is no water source. There are no rivers in a radius of tens of miles. This is the reason why the Great Mongolia sends a small group of people to grab a spot every time. Any place without a water source is not suitable for long-term combat. "
Yu Xiaolian picked up a shrimp, put it in her mouth and chewed slowly, listening to Su Jingchen's words very seriously.
Su Jingyue asked again, "But a few years ago, didn't they say that the Great Mongolian State took ten cities in a row from our Daliang? That must have dispatched a lot of people. How did they solve the water problem at that time? And they won ten cities. , it is absolutely possible to place a large army on our territory and continue to fight with us, why did they run away after grabbing things?"
Su Jingyue's doubts at this time were exactly what Yu Xiaolian couldn't understand, so Yu Xiaolian hurriedly listened carefully. It wasn't that she was going to fight on the front line, but it was always right to care about such important national affairs.
Su Jingchen saw that Yu Xiaolian and Su Jingyue were both very interested, so he told them what he knew carefully.
"Actually, the reason why the Great Mongolian Kingdom is gone after they rob it is also related to them being nomads. They are not good at farming and management. Even if they take down ten cities, all they can see of me is the grain and cloth, and they like to catch Some Liang people who knew how to farm went back to be slaves, and they have been doing so for years."
The Great Mongolian Kingdom advocates force, which is actually very similar to the Wu Clan. Whoever has the ability will be the boss. Their throne does not engage in inheritance. It is not the style of the Great Mongolian Kingdom. .
Because of this custom, Great Mongolia has a lot of internal wars every few years. The loss of the war is huge, and the treasury of Great Mongolia has always been in a deficit state, often making ends meet.
This is also the reason why the emperor of Great Mongolia has been acting as the emperor for a long time. In the presence of the emperor, he has to raise money for a day, and sometimes he has to pay it to the national treasury from his own private treasury. The rich and powerful think that being the emperor is a loss-making business, so as long as the emperor doesn't mess with them and doesn't touch their interests, they won't fight or grab.
"As for the matter of Cao Chengtong going to ten cities in a row more than four years ago, only she and Yu Zhenwu know what happened!" Anyway, Su Jingchen didn't believe that Yu Zhenwu didn't release the water.
No matter how brave and resourceful Cao Chengtong is, she will not easily take down the Ten Cities of Great Liang, **** things, and retreat completely.
"Brother, if Yu Zhenwu lost on purpose, why didn't the previous emperor punish him? Instead, he continued to use him?"
Actually, Su Jingchen hasn't figured this out so far, although Yu Zhenwu said that the people of Jiecheng cooperated with the enemy and opened the city gate for Cao Chengtong by taking advantage of the chaos, which led to the fall of Jiecheng and the loss of hearts.
But the two sides are at war, and ordinary people want to open the city gate. How easy is it?
That is not something that one or two ordinary people can do.
And even if the people were disappointed with the imperial court, they wouldn’t take the initiative to let ‘bandits’ in and rob their homes, would they?
Are they willing to go to Great Mongolia as slaves? This is absolutely impossible!
However, for Su Jingchen who doesn't understand military and strategy, all of this is just talk on paper, and everything is just his idea.
If Cao Chengtong had sent people to mix in with the people of Jiecheng in advance, it might have shaken the determination of the people of Jiecheng to defend the city.
As for why the emperor didn't punish Yu Zhenwu, it probably has something to do with Yu Zhenwu's later atonement and regaining the lost city.
Su Jingyue is now a scholar, but recently he has no interest in studying. Instead, he looks envious of those who sign up to join the army, but he knows that his elder brother will never allow him to give up his studies and go to the front to fight, so he wants to take a detour Route, first discuss the war on the border with his elder brother, and try to find an appropriate time to talk about your decision.
Yes, he wants to join the army. Ever since he met Brother Jiang Lin on the street a few days ago, he has been particularly envious of Jiang Lin's black and hard armor, and that heavy and powerful sword.
Jiang Lin's majestic appearance had a great impact on Su Jingyue. Although his current kung fu is not as good as Jiang Lin's, he believes that he can still do it on the battlefield with one against ten.
Su Jingchen couldn't hide the eagerness in Su Jingyue's eyes, and Su Jingchen had already discovered it.
However, he has to pretend that he doesn't know, for no other reason. Apart from Yu Xiaolian, he only has his brother as a relative, and he doesn't allow him to be in any danger.
Especially after his father passed away, Su Jingchen was even more afraid that something would happen to Su Jingyue. This kind of worry didn't even comfort him when he slept. He often dreamed that Su Jingyue starved to death in his arms in the icy winter.
Su Jingchen even hoped in his heart that Jiang Lin and Yu Zhenwu would recruit troops and horses as soon as possible, and leave the capital as quickly as possible, otherwise he would be afraid that something uncontrollable would happen if he had too many daily dreams.
Facts have proved that Su Jingchen's worry is not unreasonable. Su Jingyue actually left a letter and ran away from home.
On the one hand is the spring that is about to start, and on the other is his younger brother who may be in danger at any time when he runs away from home. Su Jingchen is caught in a dilemma for a while.
In order to let Su Jingchen participate in Chunwei with peace of mind, Yu Xiaolian volunteered to catch up with the large army and bring Su Jingyue back.
"Let him go!" Su Jingchen sighed helplessly, "He is already fifteen years old, and he is already an adult. Since he wants to go this way, the more we stop him, the more eager he will be. Maybe wait for him to eat in the south. Only through the suffering of the war can he understand how happy his life is now."
"That's what you say, but if something happens to him, we two will regret it? Or should I go and catch him? If it doesn't work, I'll follow him secretly. In case he is in any danger , I can also take him to hide in the space."
Yu Xiaolian has deep inner strength now, so it is not a problem for her to follow someone with light kung fu, and since Miao Shanyi taught her the kung fu, she has become infinitely powerful, so if she really wants to fight, she doesn't need to put on airs at all , Just punch it in the past, and it will be enough to subdue it violently.
Su Jingchen looked at Yu Xiaolian's eyes with a hint of excitement, and was immediately helpless. He couldn't worry about one or two of them, that's it!
"Don't go! Leave him alone!" He is not so worried about his younger brother now, he feels that his little wife is more uncontrollable than his younger brother.
Yu Xiaolian even packed her bags, in fact, she made up her mind, but Su Jingchen's long speech still persuaded her.
Su Jingchen said that ordinary soldiers in the army sleep in the open, eat cold dry food and drink river water, do not wash their feet, hair or teeth, and have lice and fleas on their bodies.
To be honest, Yu Xiaolian felt overwhelmed just thinking about it.
If you have to live among a lot of stinky men, there is nothing you can do, but you can choose to live in a comfortable and warm house, eat, drink and have fun, but you choose to go to the army that you despise. suffer.
"But...Jingyue is really going to be okay, right?" Yu Xiaolian was still worried about Su Jingyue, she really regarded Su Jingyue as her younger brother.
She will never forget, the little boy who stood by the river and said to her expectantly, you can kill my stepmother with the magic trick.
"Actually, I guessed that he would sneak away. I have already greeted Jiang Lin in advance. With Jiang Lin here, I believe he will bring Jing Yue with him." Su Jingchen was very helpless, his brother is a two-legged A living person, even if he predicted his thoughts, there was no way to keep him.
The only thing that can help him is to ask Jiang Lin to take care of him.
Yu Xiaolian actually noticed some signs of it, but she thought that Su Jingyue's recent abnormalities were due to the fact that he was young and had a girl he liked, but she didn't see that Su Jingyue wanted to join the army.
"Oh, fortunately, I have been thinking about making arrangements for his marriage for a while, but I didn't expect this guy to have this idea. Hey, I want to split it!
However, even if he is not in danger on the battlefield, isn’t it said that there is a plague in the southern border? If you accidentally caught the plague, it would be worse than being injured in a war! After all, Yu Xiaolian was still worried about Su Jingyue.
Su Jingchen was already a little restless, but now that Yu Xiaolian has been so long-winded, he feels that Su Jingyue is in danger in the southern border.
The two of them were relatively speechless and fell silent.
After a while, Su Jingchen said slowly, "Don't mention him anymore, he's grown up, has his own ideas, and things he wants to do. If he just left, we'll catch him, and maybe he'll die again." Backfired, let him go!"
Yu Xiaolian also knows that if the two of them are worried, if they can't handle it well, it may be a desire to control in Su Jingyue's place. After a long time, it will make Su Jingyue feel suffocated.
I hope Su Jingyue can be smarter in the southern border, and know how to adapt when encountering danger. As for the others, I can only pray to God to give Su Jingyue more luck!
