Chapter 43 Love at First Sight

"Well! Huo Qubing is really not simple!" Li Guang's eyes were full of admiration. His displeasure disappeared just now. He slapped his forehead and seemed to remember something: "Ling'er, Huo Qubing can drive away the crowd with rewards and punishments. Why can't you use it? This is the ability of a general."

Those who are generals are driving the crowd. What do you rely on to drive the crowd? It is just the word reward and punishment.

"Big Father, I've tried it, but they're better off following me than following Huo Qubing." Li Ling kept shook his head, very unwilling to accept it: "My reward is heavier and the punishment is stricter, which is useless."

"This..." Li Guang was completely speechless.

"Flying General, that's how it is." Ding Jun took over the conversation and said, "The same rewards and punishments are more effective in Huo Qubing's hands than in Li Ling's hands. It's such a strange thing!" He shook his head and sighed.

"Why is this?" Li Guang stroked his forehead, unable to understand.

"Flying General, this is not difficult to understand. One general has the style of one general." Zhou Yang explained to Li Guang's doubts and said, "Flying General leads troops without using harsh laws. The soldiers can live everywhere, but when fighting, they are not vague."

This was Li Guang's proud thing, and his face turned red: "Not like General Cheng, his orders are as strict as him. The soldiers followed him, most of them complained and were willing to follow me."

Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi were both famous generals on the border, but their ways of being generals were very different. Li Guang was not strict in restraining his subordinates. When he was camping, the soldiers could live at will. However, Cheng Buzhi was different. Every word and action was strict, and the soldiers dared not disobey him. Therefore, the soldiers were hard for Cheng and were willing to follow Li Guang.

"This is the difference between you two. If you can't learn it, you can't learn it, and you can't learn it." Zhou Yang concluded.

"The general's words are reasonable." Li Guang deeply agreed with Zhou Yang's words.

"Li Ling, come here!" Zhou Yang waved his hand, and Li Ling ran over happily. Zhou Yang picked him up and placed him on his knees, saying, "Li Ling, you must remember that there is a heavy reward in front and a harsh method in the back. That is Huo Qubing's way of being a general. You don't have to learn from him. Other people's things are others', and what suits you is the best, and you don't need to imitate him."

Li Ling is also a smart person, his eyes turned and he was very cheerful: "Master Xie reminds me, Li Ling remembers it."

"You have defeated Huo Qubing so many times, do you still dare to fight him?" Zhou Yang looked at Li Ling, his eyes flashing.

Without thinking, Li Ling nodded vigorously and said, "I dare! I must defeat him!"

Huo Qubing shrugged his shoulders and turned his head a little distracted. Li Ling had lost too many times in his hands, so he didn't care about it at all.

"Liu Tie, bring my sword." Zhou Yang roared at the door.

Liu Tie responded, and not long after, he came over with a Han sword, handed it to Zhou Yang, and bowed to him.

Zhou Yang took the Han sword and drew a foot of his sword body. The sword light flashed, which was extremely sharp. Li Guang and the others looked at Zhou Yang in confusion, but did not make any sound.

"This sword was picked by Su Jian for me when I joined Jianzhang Army." Zhou Yang returned the sword to the sheath and said, "This sword follows me to fight on the battlefield, the Battle of Antao, the Great Victory of Yanmen, and the Great Wall. I use this sword. Now, we can't use the ring-headed sword anymore, so I'll give it to you." He handed the sword to Li Ling's hand.

Li Ling looked happy. Although Zhou Yang's sword was useless, its significance was extraordinary. It was the sword that Zhou Yang used when he joined the army. It was wearing this sword that Zhou Yang planned the Antao victory and the Yanmen victory twice. He even claimed that this sword defeated the Huns under the Great Wall and gave it to Li Ling, which was not happy.

Li Guang was even more smiling so that his smile piled up layer by layer, and his nose and eyes were squeezed into the family. Zhou Yang took this sword and defeated the Huns. He was personally involved. This was more precious than Zhou Yang gave Li Ling ten thousand taels of gold.

"Uncle, Li Ling is my defeated general, and this sword should belong to me." Huo Qubing broke free from Wei Zifu's arms, rushed over like a flying man, and accused loudly: "Uncle, you are unfair to reward and punish!"

Who doesn’t want this sword? Huo Qubing can’t be blamed.

Li Ling grabbed the sword hard, and his eyes looked at Huo Qubing as if he was looking at the thief.

"It is precisely because Li Ling is your defeated general that I gave him this sword!" Zhou Yang said in a deep voice with a solemn face.

"Master, aren't you slapping me in the face?" Li Guang was embarrassed and embarrassed, and his confidence was not that strong. Li Ling was a defeated general, and he actually received such a heavy reward. Li Guang felt very uncomfortable.

"Flying General, you're so worried." Zhou Yang knew he had misunderstood: "Flying General, do you think General Yum is rare, or is it rare to lose a general?"

"General Yum? General Baibing?" Li Guang was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and savored it. Then his voice suddenly turned high: "Is there any need to ask? Of course, it's rare for General Baibing. Well, it seems, it seems, it's not right! It should be even more rare for General Baibing!"

"Bang!" Zhou Yang hit each other with his hands, making a crisp sound: "The Flying General is right. Although General Baisheng is valuable, but it is even more rare to lose a hundred times! Victory and defeating military affairs are common, and how many defeats are nothing. But what if he wins more than a dozen or twenty defeats? No matter what others say, he alone will lose confidence. If a general, if he can defeat a hundred battles, he is still fighting and does not give up, he will be invincible!"

Losing can greatly hurt people's self-confidence. If a person still works hard after dozens of defeats, not to mention anything else, this perseverance alone is enough to shock the world, and his mind has reached an unparalleled level. If he cannot win the battle, there is no law of nature.

General Yum is still valuable, but many generals are arrogant and eventually lose their reputation because they have won too many battles. This is a story that Shibujue wrote.

Zhou Yang said this to the word of gold and stone, and Li Guang and Ding Jun nodded constantly, which was very appreciative.

"So that's it. I misunderstood the general." The unhappiness on Li Guang's face disappeared and he replaced it with joy.

"Li Ling, as long as you don't give up, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely defeat Huo Qubing!" Zhou Yang encouraged.

"Master Xie encouraged him, Li Ling remembered it!" Li Ling said loudly, holding his head high, thrusting his chest, looking at Huo Qubing, and taking off a cock with high morale.

"Uncle, what do you want to reward me?" Huo Qubing pulled Zhou Yang's clothes and asked for a reward.

"I'll give you a slap!" Zhou Yang's face was as heavy as water: "If you win a battle, you can't be proud and complacent. You have to know that victory is common in military affairs. Victory can be defeated, and defeat can be defeated! During the Spring and Autumn Period, Meng Mingshi was defeated three times at the hands of Jin State. He did not give up and was determined to avenge his shame. In the end, he defeated Jin State! You have to remember this!"

Meng Mingshi is Baili Xi's son, and his full name is Baili Mengming. As a general of Qin, he was defeated by Jin three times. It is not surprising that he captured Jin by defeating troops and defeating troops. However, he himself captured Jin alive. If Qin Mu Duke's daughter was the Queen Mother of Jin and gave him help, he would have to die in Jin.

After fleeing back to Qin, Meng Mingshi was a defeated general and had a bad reputation. He thought that Qin Mu Guild had eliminated his military power, so he had no shame to see Qin Mu Gong. Unexpectedly, Qin Mu Gong not only did not eliminate his military power, but instead comforted Youjia. Meng Mingshi was moved and determined to take revenge, save his family's wealth and train troops. When the army was trained, he led the Qin army to Jin. Jin did not dare to fight with it, so he could only have a deep ditches and high bases.

Since then, Duke Mu of Qin Chengbo has become one of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The fact that Meng Mingshi's shame in regaining Jin has become a legend throughout the ages. Li Guang's hearing it was joy in his heart, and he was very pleased.

Huo Qubing blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, Qubing understands! I want Li Ling to never win me!"

"Not only can Li Ling not beat you, no one can beat you." Zhou Yang still had a calm face.

"No!" Huo Qubing responded loudly.

Zhou Yang looked at Huo Qubing and then Li Ling, which was very relieved. These two people were good at defeating and the other was good at winning. Once they grew up, this pair of people would be invincible!

"Master, I'm on the battlefield..." Ding Jun looked at Zhou Yang nervously. The defeat of the Huns was just the time when men galloped. If they were watching from the wall, it would be too regrettable, so he couldn't help but be nervous.

"You have been well trained, so it's accurate!" Zhou Yang said loudly.

"Mr. Xie! Mars. Xie!" Ding Jun was so excited that his face turned red. This was his lifelong wish!

Life was very free and easy, and all the affairs of defeating the Huns went smoothly. As soon as the next spring, the Han army could go out of the frontier and head straight for Hetao. As long as the Hetao land was taken down, the Huns would be cut into two sections in half. Even if the Huns retreated to the north of the Mo, they would not escape the attack of the Han army.

The only thing that makes people worry is that Emperor Jing's health is getting worse and worse, and life is probably not too long. Emperor Jing is not only a king but also a relative, and he cares about Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang always thinks of him and feels sad for Emperor Jing. Zhou Yang comes to the Han Dynasty and flaps the butterfly wings, which changes many things, but cannot prolong his life.

Manpower is sometimes poor, but Zhou Yang can only sigh, but he is helpless.

The only thing Zhou Yang hoped was that Emperor Jing would not die when he attacked the Huns. If Emperor Jing died when the Han army attacked the Huns, according to ancient etiquette, there would be a three-year national mourning period. If the Han army could not attack the desert, it would give the Huns a rare opportunity. If this were the case, the Huns would have enough time to deal with it, and would be more likely to come to disturb the border, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, judging from Emperor Jing’s current physical condition, it is very problematic whether he can survive until next year.

Time flies quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was time for Princess Nangong and Zhang Ling'er to give birth. Emperor Jing issued an order to ask Zhou Yang to put down his military affairs and accompany the two daughters at home.

This is a major event in life, both in terms of emotion and reason, and Zhou Yang was eager to hand over military affairs to Li Guang for the time being. Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing and others were at home peacefully and prepared to be their father.

In addition to Zhou Yang, Xu Ru also surrounded the two girls all day long, for fear of a mistake. Zhou Yafu came over whenever he had time. What he said most was, "Why haven't you given birth yet?" He wanted to hold his grandson, and he was almost crazy.

"How do you say? Having a baby is not about cooking fires, and giving birth if you want to." Xu Ru often responded to him with this statement.

Although he was robbed for nothing, Zhou Yafu was not only not annoyed, but was even happier. He felt really good at holding his grandson.

In addition to Zhou Yafu and Xu Ru and other relatives of the Zhou family, Emperor Jing had to ask several times a day. Liu Che even came whenever he had time and asked as soon as he met: "Brother-in-law, when can I be my uncle?"

Zhou Yang replied: "Ask your sister to go!"

Zhou Yang wanted to be his father immediately, but he didn't have the final say in this kind of thing.

Queen Wang sent several groups of people to ask about her well-being every day.

As the days when the childbirth were about to come, Princess Longlu and Princess Pingyang lived in the Polu Marquis’ Mansion and guarded Princess Nangong. Princess Pingyang is Princess Yangxin. After marrying Princess Cao Shou of Pingyang, she changed her name to Princess Pingyang.

Emperor Jing forced Princess Pingyang to marry Cao Shou, and was extremely reluctant to do so. He owed much to this daughter. Emperor Jing was dissatisfied with him and gave him the title of Princess Pingyang.

In the Han Dynasty, princesses were divided into eldest princesses and princesses, and the status and title of the eldest princess was much more prominent.

On that day, Zhou Yang accompanied Princess Nangong and Zhang Ling'er in the room. While the three of them were talking, Princess Pingyang and Princess Longlu came in and said, "Brother-in-law, you go out, go out! We have something to say to our sister."

"What are you saying? Can I listen?" Zhou Yang was very dissatisfied.

"This is our women's words, you can't listen!" Princess Pingyang's neck tilted, revealing her fair skin, a bit naughty, with a smile on her face, and she was very happy.

Princess Pingyang married Cao Shou and was guarding a sick marquis. She had been living unhappy and had a rare time to laugh. Zhou Yang didn't want to walk away, so she saw her joy in her eyes, but she couldn't bear it and had to leave.

"Mumble!" As soon as Zhou Yang left the room, he heard a whispering sound from the room, as well as Princess Nangong and Zhang Ling'er's chuckle. A few women were stirring together, and they didn't know what to say, but they were so happy.

"Woman!" Zhou Yang sighed, shook his head, and walked into the yard and walked.

The servants in the yard ran around, busy and prepared for the production. Zhou Yang wanted to help, but he couldn't do this and didn't know where to start.

"Hey!" It was obvious that Zhou Yang was going to be his father, but he was nothing. The world was really impermanent.

"I've seen the general!" Wei Qing strode and greeted Zhou Yang.

"Wei Qing, what are you here to do?" Zhou Yang stopped and looked at Wei Qing.

"Master, the last general came, because some military affairs were to report to the Master and ask the Master to decide." Wei Qing reported.

"Didn't you say that you and Li Guang, Cheng Bu Zhi, were discussing and doing it?" Zhou Yang was a little surprised. Wei Qing was extremely talented. Li Guang, Cheng Bu Zhi, were both famous generals. The three of them discussed and did nothing that could not be solved.

"Master, I can't discuss this with them. This is a taboo thing." Wei Qing looked around and saw that there was no one, so he lowered his voice and said softly: "Master, let's say something offensive. What if something unexpected happens when the army attacks the Huns?"

The unexpected thing he mentioned refers to the death of Emperor Jing.

Zhou Yang also thought about this matter, but how to decide depends on the new king's will: "I don't know this matter, it depends on the situation."

"Master, you can't do this!" Wei Qing was a little anxious: "If a large army gallops on the desert, something unexpected happens, the consequences will be extremely serious, and the Master has to worry about it."

If Emperor Jing died when the Han army attacked, the consequences would be very serious and would be possible to turn into disastrous consequences. After all, the emperor was supreme, which would have a great blow to the morale of the army. However, the Han Dynasty did not have such developed medicine as modern times, so it could not predict how long Emperor Jing's life would last, even Mr. Cang could not.

"Wei Qing, these words come out of your mouth and into my ears, and you must not be told by the third person." Zhou Yang shook his head in distress.

"No!" Wei Qing knew how offensive this was, so he only said it to Zhou Yang and did not discuss it with Li Guang and Cheng Wuzhi.

"Is there anything else?" Zhou Yang asked.
