The bandits hijacked some construction vehicles and wanted to build their own city. Qi Yanliang intercepted and returned several vehicles. The bandits wanted to intercept them from the entrance of the cave, but Dai Zhao worked hard to increase the team's traveling speed. Crossed the natural chasm, crossed the river, passed through the cave, and reached the cave before the robbers. While the bandits were stationed in the camp, they got back several more vehicles.
On top of this desert. We have been fighting against these bandits. Both in the real world and psychologically. Qi Yanliang has been reminding himself not to become someone like a bandit. He is holding a book about the defenders. The defenders stood on the high city wall, with powerful enemies on one side and civilians on the other. It's like a gap. There will be pressure from both sides. Civilians had no idea what harm the enemy would do to them. This is a paradox, but he will definitely guard this city gate and guard the final bottom line.
Dai Zhao used to be with them, and Qi Yanliang also used to be with them. But he had grown tired of being in the company of bandits. Robbers want to distinguish people by ability. But Qi Yanliang believes that the most important thing that distinguishes people is character and belief.
At night, Qi Yanliang opened the book about the city defenders.
That was about 600 years ago.
I had long heard that the Yanzhang Sect was going to attack Guwei City. This puts a lot of pressure on Yan Zhen. He didn't appear as confident as Qi Ben, but he had a lot of worries.
Yan Zhen arrived at Woye Village. Thousands of miles of fertile fields, endless traffic, and chickens and dogs hearing each other. Some are planting crops, some are watering fruit trees and vegetables, some are herding cattle and sheep, some are feeding fish, and some are spreading food to chickens, ducks and geese. Thriving and full of vitality.
I want to live like this, but there are always people who start a war. After walking up this city wall, it is difficult to return to civilian life and calm down.
Some people have been living in war, preparing for war, war, war is over, and beware of war. Some people live in peace all the time.
There is news that the Yanzhang faction is going to attack. Maybe they will come sooner or later, but Yan Zhen thinks that it is better to start the war later. Live more good days. But at the same time, it is also a contradictory thought. Fight early, end it early, and delay it like this. What's going on?
An old man growing vegetables waved to him to come and sit down. They sat on the stone.
"There's not even a bench here."
"It doesn't matter, take a look at the pastoral scenery and appreciate the natural beauty."
"The enemy won't come, right?"
It's likely to come soon, and the outcome is unpredictable. he thinks. "It doesn't matter if they come, we will definitely win."
The old man said: "That's good, then it's up to you."
Yan Zhen said: “I may also need your support.”
The old man said: "If you have anything to do, just ask me."
Yan Zhen said: "How is life here?"
The old man said: "Okay. Do you want to live such a life?"
Yan Zhen said: "I can resign and go back to the fields, but I can't let it go mentally. Once I take on the responsibility, I can't let it go. I think it's better to be a civilian, at least I can focus on my own fields. No need. All the random thoughts in the sky may be a false alarm, but it is unfounded."
The old man said: "Maybe outsiders put too much pressure on you."
Yan Zhen said: "Maybe it's just imaginary that there is such a person."
Some people say that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Yan Zhen said that heroes should not be judged by success or failure. If I succeed, I am on this path. If I fail, I am also on this path. They are not just grass on the wall, falling with the wind. In short, he will not surrender to the enemy and rebel.
There will be objections among the villagers. There will be objections among the soldiers. And there are enemies. But we must fight to the end.
Regarding the defenders, I feel that the villagers are living a happy life, and the enemy is living a very arrogant life. Why are they living such a wronged life?
The cultural relics left by the ancestors are placed in several secret places in Guwei City, including ceramics, jade, bronze, calligraphy and paintings.
Yan Zhen walked through the village and looked at the villagers.
Some villagers said that the crops are about to be harvested. Some villagers said that the eldest sister next door was going to have a baby. Some villagers said that the ladder was not working well and they should come back to repair it. Some villagers said that they would go to the city to sell their livestock together.
He envied the life of ordinary villagers. Able to calm down and enjoy life. Feeding horses and chopping firewood, caring about firewood, rice, oil and salt. If the parents are short-sighted, they can show off their knowledge by reading a few ancient books. They can brag about their experience by traveling around the country and traveling to rivers and mountains.
He felt a sharp contrast. The pressure he felt was being squeezed violently, while the people around him were living ordinary and prosperous lives. Didn't they feel that the enemy was coming with arrogance?
Too much pressure can be counterproductive. It is important to relieve or release stress. But the problem still needs to be solved. Things have to be done. Not for the enemy to see, not for the eyes of the world, but for the sake of duty.
everything will get better. Do something meaningful. Ordinary power appears simple yet powerful.
Ordinary people may think less, but they worry less. If you think too much, you may be well prepared, "worry about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness." However, if you worry more, you will be less happy. There is no end to worries, and there is no limit to happiness.
Yan Zhen thought that maybe he could translate what the enemy said into something that the villagers could understand, and they were no longer calm.
"You worms, your achievements cannot be compared with those of the Yanzhang Sect."
After translating what the enemy said into something the villagers could understand, they no longer chatted and laughed with the enemy in the Lincheng Tavern.
Too much worry and too much self-esteem is a disease.
I don’t know why the enemy is so rampant and likes to look for trouble and self-destruction. Maybe they think that they will not pay the price for aggression and provocation. I like to compare ordinary people to earthworms who are trampled under their feet.
Who will plant the crops, look after the orchards, build the houses, weave the clothes, and transport the goods. Who will build the Great Wall that stretches thousands of miles, and the checkpoint that no one can open but cannot be opened by ten thousand people?
What is merit? What to do with merit? Use your achievements to satisfy the ignorant eyes of the world? Or are you using your achievements to feed your ambition?
What is ordinary? The world is ordinary. Meaning is given by humans. Unless absolutely necessary, you may not want to reach the top. Ordinaryness is only relative to greatness. If the people are strong, they will not be too surprised by greatness. Among the villagers, there are also those who are highly skilled in martial arts, those who are strong enough to lift thousands of stones, and some who can fly over cliffs and walk over walls. The masters are among the people.
Weapons include bows and arrows, crossbows, catapults, sword and shield soldiers, and rolling logs. Use bows, arrows, crossbows, swords and shields to deal with enemy soldiers. Use swords, shields and rolling logs to deal with catapults. Use the Hook Sword against the ladder.
Some people are burning bricks, some are transporting bricks, some are building walls, some are making fortification machinery, and some are using fortification machinery. Build the fortress, build the passage, then build the outer wall, and then build the arrow tower.
Yan Zhen just wanted to see who could break this city?
