Chapter four hundred and seventeen live bravely
In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, this was the twelfth day after the Han Wang army set out from Chengdu, and the army entered the territory of Chongqing Prefecture. It was said that we could reach Chongqing Prefecture City in the evening of the day.
Tonight, the army camped near a market called "Ba Shang", and the headquarters of the central army was located in the market.
It is difficult to snow in Chongqing in winter, but it is extremely humid and cold. The fog sometimes disappears all day and is foggy in the air.
As usual, Miao Jin was wearing a dark gray sermon robe and a veil on her head. She rode her horse and followed the army, gathering towards the "bashang" on the hillside.
However, most of the soldiers did not have horses, and they walked over this way for more than 600 miles. They walked neither fast nor slow, and their steps were neat. Most of them used their noses to inhale and swallowed their breaths. They could feel even breathing by looking at the subtle movements on their faces.
After walking so far, the Sichuan military households had no complaints. Miao Jin heard that each of them paid twelve stags of money or silver for going to the war. Moreover, the military households trusted the King of Han very much, and few seemed to suspect that the army led by the King of Han would defeat the war.
Zhu Gaoxu did not ignore the military households. He spoke to ordinary soldiers under the hillside again. Miao Jin immediately turned his head and turned to the past without moving, wanting to hear what he said. Tonight Miao Jin can write another paragraph about the King of Han.
Perhaps because her father was a civil servant, Miaojin was brought to the battlefield by Zhu Gaoxu this time. She always had a mission to record the words and deeds of the King of Han. However, she was a woman who was not a historian, so her writing style was very unofficial, and she described what she saw, heard and some of her own feelings.
"Of course I know what it feels like to be poor!" Zhu Gaoxu said in his voice. Miao Jin had just come over and heard this sentence first without thinking.
This man who was born as a noble family, said something that Miaojin felt a little incredible.
A young sergeant walking next to him raised his head and said, "My old man said, "I use the money to build a house, and leave the rest for me to marry a wife. My old man also said that if our family receives the favor of the King of Han, we must not forget it, and we have to work our lives to the prince!"
Miao Jin looked sideways, and squinted her eyes to see the expression on Zhu Gaoxu's face carefully. He didn't seem to be moved, but his face looked a little ugly, with a feeling of guilt that he seemed to have done something wrong.
Zhu Gaoxu's rich expression flashed by and quickly stopped it. He relaxed and said in a deep voice as if he had found his conscience: "Brother, remember to live as much as possible."
Sure enough, the military household was also surprised by Zhu Gaoxu's words and blurted out: "The generals ask young people to rush to the death every day..."
Zhu Gaoxu said in his voice: "Nothing is wrong! You are a military householder, you are brave and do your duty. You are doing your duty well in order to live a better life." After he said that, he went uphill and headed uphill first.
There are many vegetable fields and crop fields around, several streets and dense houses, forming a place that looks like a village, which is a market. In this area with dense hills and hills, most people live in scattered places. With such a place to live, it is a market for trading.
Miao Jin met Zhu Gaoxu again behind a large tiled house as the headquarters of the central army.
He turned around, "The guards are still cleaning up the house, and they will be able to clean it up in a while."
There are many plum trees planted here, bare and not many leaves, and no fruitless. Miaojin looked at the scenery, walked over and said softly: "I heard the King of Han talk to the sergeant before, and I really felt it was a bit strange."
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head slightly, then showed a thoughtful look that was very familiar. After a while, he spoke: "I often think that the wild, barbaric, and violent warriors may be very fierce, but they are definitely not the most warlike army."
"Yeah." Miao Jin nodded in response. She was not interested in how to make a fuss and kill, but she was very interested in how Gao Xu could fight and kill.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "A true warrior, the most important military officer, must have deep love, and the unique civilization created by people and people on this land. Only in this way can the brothers not fight for military pay or forced, and will be willing to fight for it."
"Love?" Miaojin looked at him in confusion.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped. He seemed to want 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 the word. The word "Jianai Fei Gong" was included, but Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have given it a new meaning.
Zhu Gaoxu's voice interrupted her contemplation, and his voice whispered, "Miaojin should know that I have always disagreed with the Confucian ethics in the world, and even a little disgusted with it. But later I gradually felt that it was wrong to look at it like this, because I was also a person born on this land."
Miao Jin casually said: "It's not only Confucianism. There is a ghost town nearby, with many relics from the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. The King of Han can go and take a look."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I'll finish the war."
"Report to the prince!" A voice came from the back door.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and called the soldier to come over. The soldier sent a letter and then left.
Miao Jin and Zhu Gaoxu opened the letter and saw that she walked around for a while, watching the buildings and scenery that were different from Chengdu City. However, she still noticed Zhu Gaoxu's expression from the light of the light. He still laughed spontaneously from time to time, and his face was solemn from time to time, but his eyes were always bright and energetic.
After he finished reading the letter, Miao Jin said inadvertently, "Letter from home?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at her and nodded, "Weier wrote it and mentioned you. Let me remind you to pay attention to your health when sleeping in the open. Yao Ji and Du Qianrui also wrote a few words in it."
Miao Jin smiled and said, "If the King of Han writes back, I will thank the princess for me." She immediately asked softly again, "The King of Han also 'loved' his wives, concubines, princes, and family friends?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded without hesitation. He was silent for a moment and said, "I think the princess said you were sleeping in the open air, and I think it was envious."
Miao Jin tilted her head slightly and didn't make a sound.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Miaojin knows, what are women most afraid of?"
Miao Jin said: "What does the King of Han think it is?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Time. But Weier and others have the status to wait for time, but Miaojin has no."
Miao Jin immediately looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and her beautiful almond eyes were in a state of uncertainty. Finally, she sighed softly, not refusing.
Beauty is easy to grow old, perhaps the reason why women cannot let go of the most.
...Miao Jin finally breathed out at this time, and said in a soothing and smooth tone: "When the King of Han raised his army, he said many times that he wanted to find justice and severely punish his sins, and he seemed to have no hesitation; but you never felt that raising an army to sweep the world was a good thing, because you knew that many innocent people would die in war. However, if you did not raise an army to resist, the court would inevitably harm the King of Han and everyone in the King of Han's Mansion."
She looked straight into Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, observed his subtle emotional changes, and said in a decisive tone: "This is the right and wrong in the King of Han's heart!"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a smart person here. Not only did I raise an army to resist, but I also had no difficulties and obstacles, which could shake my determination to win! Once the war begins, only one side can end completely | eggs, and I hope that Gao Chi will fall!"
Miao Jin's frown seemed to understand Zhu Gaoxu's words and deeds, but she still felt that it was not clear enough.
Zhu Gaoxu's voice said again: "People are cynical, confused and depressed because they cannot find the peace of mind, and do things that are unwilling, disgusting, hatred, or guilty. It is really difficult to find your own peace of mind."
Miao Jin smiled and said, "What I said to the King of Han: Taoism was born and Confucianism entered the world. Many people have two completely opposite hearts at the same time, but they can be integrated."
Zhu Gaoxu walked thoughtfully for a long time.
He stopped and asked, "Does Miaojin believe in Buddhism?"
Miao Jin shook his head and smiled, "Don't forget, I am still a Taoist priest now. The two families of Shi and Dao competed fiercely, but now they have begun to integrate."
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, which is one of the laws of heaven. If all living beings can do good and be compassionate, all the rules of this world must be overturned!
Therefore, there is no good or evil in the way of heaven. If the killer and the cruel one believe in the way of heaven, they can try to find tranquility; the greatest obstacle to tranquility is not anger, but guilt."
Miao Jin refused to comment, but she still listened to his fallacies patiently. She couldn't help but chuckled, "Is this the martial virtue advocated by the King of Han?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I am improving."
Not long after, the house was cleaned up and the maps were placed in the main hall. The two stopped talking and walked into the house.
Miao Jin watched Zhu Gaoxu busy, and she stopped saying a word, her eyes followed his figure, thinking about this person silently.
Thanks to the King of Han, Miao Jin, who had no interest in fighting, was also very interested at this time. Although Zhu Gaoxu in front of him was a vassal king, he was actually a commander of the three armies.
He is different from all the famous generals recorded in historical books and classics. Many of his remarks are completely opposite to those of the ancient generals. He used 100,000 people to fight against more than 2 million imperial troops at the beginning of his rebellion. Is it feasible to use his ideas to manage the army?
Miao Jin is about the same age as Gao Xu, and because she was recognized as a little aunt before, she can't help but have the thoughts of an elder. She was very careful about Zhu Gaoxu's growth as a generation of generals; this time she went with the army, it was obviously worth the trip.
