Chapter 39: There are three kinds of unfilial piety
Of course, Lucheng did not think of ending the war with a few cannons. What they planned was reinforcements from the court.
If you don't come, you want to get a bargain. OK, when the Western Wilderness breaks through Lucheng and the cannon falls into someone's hands, you will find out the principle to create a hundred and eighty gates. You can consider the consequences yourself.
As Yin Yong and the others expected, as soon as the academy showed up, the army arranged by the court near the border immediately marched and rushed over. However, the Western Wilderness army did not take advantage of the last chance of attacking Lucheng as they imagined, but retreated thirty miles away, set up camps, and remained unmoved.
In Yin's study, Yin Yong's face looked very bad.
The will of the academy and Lucheng are the same. Cannons cannot be handed over if they can. However, the court has a stronger form and it is impossible not to hand over. We can only exchange as much as possible for some benefits.
I originally thought of consuming artillery shells from the Western Wilderness Army and destroying the Western Wilderness, so that if the court uses reinforcements as its bargaining chips, it will not be that heavy. Furthermore, consuming artillery shells can also delay the court's research and development speed, so that they will not use cannons to deal with Lucheng in reverse.
Who knew that the Western Wilderness would not come, and not only did the shells not be able to be fired, but also had to sell the reinforcements to the face. Otherwise, the reinforcements would not take the initiative to attack before the Western Wilderness would not attack, so they would sit in Lucheng. After a year or two, how could Lucheng bear it?
The outside world didn't know how to discuss with the reinforcements who came to get benefits in Lucheng. It only knew that the Western Wilderness finally retreated without fighting, and the chief general of Jiangting was replaced by General Wang.
For a whole month, Lin Ergou lay on the bed and felt that his bones were about to be slimmed. After a while, the doctor said he could move, so he couldn't wait to walk around the yard with a crutch. Unfortunately, his body was still very weak, and he was sweating heavily after walking for two rounds.
Zhang Sanhua sat on the threshold and watched Lin Ergou walk around. Seeing his frivolous steps, his face turned pale and cold sweating, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
She knew that her physique was different from ordinary people, and it was not easy to find someone who was better than her, but Lin Ergou was too weak. She felt that she could live to ninety-nine, but it was hard to say whether Lin Ergou could live to sixty.
Thinking that if she married Lin Ergou, she would have been widowed for so many years, Zhang Sanhua couldn't help but sigh.
No, I have to find a way to help Lin Ergou make up for it, and at least he must live to seventy.
I don’t understand why Zhang Sanhua looked bitter and revengeful. Lin Ergou signaled Lele to help him next to Zhang Sanhua and found a recliner to sit down.
Zhang Sanhua looked at him and became even more worried.
Will she walk vigorously in front of her when she goes out in the future? Lin Ergou is staggering behind her? Then she has to take a few steps and stop for a few steps, and it feels uncomfortable to think about it.
"Sanhua, are you worried about your subordinates?" Lin Ergou thought for a while, thinking that this is more likely.
Zhang Sanhua looked up at Lin Ergou again and pursed her mouth.
She was worried about what those people did. They were big and thick, and even if they broke their legs and held them apart, they could walk very quickly. Unlike Lin Ergou, who had just walked twice, it seemed like he had half his life.
Seeing that Zhang Sanhua didn't say anything, Lin Ergou thought he had guessed correctly, so he spoke to comfort him.
"It's okay. Your soldiers retreat after listening to your order. If someone wants to say they are deserters, they will first take you accountable. But let's not talk about who dares to touch you because of your brother-in-law's face, General Wang will also be transferred back. Your elite soldiers and so many military achievements have made him reluctant to kill them all."
Since he had already talked about Jiangting Camp, Zhang Sanhua hesitated for a while and said hesitantly: "Lin Ergou, I don't want to stay in the army anymore."
Lin Ergou was a little surprised. At that time, Gu Cheng was the main general, but Zhang Sanhua couldn't get along with him. It was just like that he wanted to leave. But now General Wang is back, why did Zhang Sanhua leave again?
But it doesn't matter. No matter what, as long as Sanhua thinks, he will do it.
"Okay, I'll deal with your military status."
After blinking, Zhang Sanhua looked at Lin Ergou for some reason and said, "Why don't you ask me why?"
Lin Ergou stuck for a moment, opened his mouth, and asked in cooperation: "Why."
Thinking that their question and answer were a bit funny, Zhang Sanhua turned her head and laughed.
"Although I don't know what transactions have been made with the imperial court in Lucheng, General Wang's return is a signal. At least in recent years, before Jiangting completely recovers, the imperial court will not sit idly by the Lucheng. If the Western Wilderness dares to come back, it will be a real war between the two countries. Whether it can fight or not, it will be similar if it is me or not."
Zhang Sanhua was a little depressed when she said this. It was useless to be brave before thousands of troops. She was not good at military tactics and could not become a general.
He lowered his head and played with his fingers. Zhang Sanhua remembered the busy figure of the old lady when she collected things for her daughter.
"Also, I miss my mother." Zhang Sanhua's expression became soft, but she became serious the next moment. "Although I have the confidence to protect myself in the battlefield, as long as I am in the army one day, my mother will be worried about being afraid of it for a day. As a child, this is really unfilial."
Seeing Zhang Sanhua being serious, Lin Ergou suddenly had a bad intention to tease her, and coughed and cleared her throat.
"If you say unfilial words, I remember that there are three unfilial words..."
Zhang Sanhua was stunned, then gave Lin Ergou a blank look and completed the words.
"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no descendants are the greatest." As he said that, Zhang Sanhua stood up and glanced at Lin Ergou, "If you have the ability, you can recite the whole paragraph together."
Lin Ergou smiled for a while, and then took it seriously.
"Mencius said: There are three kinds of unfilial things, and there is no descendant. Shun married him without a descendant. A gentleman thought he was still telling him." After memorizing it, Lin Ergou added a serious sentence, "We have written a marriage letter with their consent, so this unfilial piety is naturally not enough."
Zhang Sanhua raised her chin with a little pride on her face. Lin Ergou felt itchy when she saw it and wanted to pinch her face, but as soon as the force difference between the two sides was too large, he was injured again, so it would be better not to commit suicide.
But since everyone has talked about this topic, Lin Ergou feels that he can work harder.
"But the thirteen scriptures also say: There are three unfilial things in etiquette. Things are called Ayi Qu, and they are unfaithful. One is unfilial; the family is poor and the elderly, and they do not serve as wealth and officials, and the second is unfilial; if they do not marry and have no children, they will be sacrificed to ancestors, and the third is unfilial." Observing Zhang Sanhua's face, Lin Ergou tentatively finished the following words, "You see, it is still very serious if there is no descendant. And the descendant who is not married? Do we make the wedding date..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Sanhua said "Ha" with a high-spirited look on his face.
"You are still a student in the academy and you must not listen carefully in your daily life! Mr. Lin has said that this annotation is wrong, because Mencius said in the Lilou chapter: "The five things that are called unfilial in the world are lazy: the four branches of unfiliality are laziness, and they ignore their parents' upbringing, and they are unfilial; they are good at drinking, and they ignore their parents' upbringing, and they are unfilial; they are good at making money, private wives, and they ignore their parents' upbringing, and they are unfilial; they are based on the desires of their ears and eyes, and they think that their parents are killed, and they are unfilial; they are brave and cruel, and they are dangerous to their parents' upbringing, and they are unfilial. Where is there any child-free thing to be unfilial?!"
After being blocked by these words, Lin Ergou felt a little embarrassed.
When my father explained this, he was there, so how could he not know. He just said this on purpose, so he turned around and urged Sanhua to consider their marriage. But he knew that Sanhua's focus was completely wrong. He still remembered so clearly what happened more than ten years ago.
Seeing that Lin Ergou was blocked by him and could not speak, Zhang Sanhua was extremely proud.
Let Mr. Lin say that he was not serious about studying. Lin Ergou reads enough books and is not that he can't say that he is still serious.
He hummed Lin Ergou with a somewhat arrogant voice, and Zhang Sanhua walked into the room. Lin Ergou looked at her for a while, and heard that she had started to hum a small song, laughed, and turned around.
Now I am proud. After returning to Xiaoniu Village, I will be urging you to Aunt Chen.
