Zhen Buhui and shopkeeper Zhen were arranged to rest in the guest courtyard of the Zhenguo Palace. Due to the collapse of the dungeon, Zhen Buhui had no place to go. Although he could go to the death row with his brother, he still had to go to the death row in the past few days. No, Shen Haolin and the others had something to ask him, so they arranged a guest room for him, so that if anything went wrong or if he had any new doubts, they could find someone to answer them right away.
Zhen Buhui didn't really care where he lived. Whether it was the guest room in the Duke's Mansion or the death row of Shen Jiajun, he didn't care. It was just a place to sleep anyway, there was no difference.
What shocked him was that Shen Cha and her female general showed off such skills today, which he had never seen before. After watching today's episode, he felt that this trip to the border was really worth it. He really wanted to thank Master Chu Han for giving him this opportunity to meet the new generation of generals in Daxia and appreciate the vigor and vitality of this group of young people. Style.
To be honest, before he came to the border, he heard King Jing and Young Master Chu Han always praising the young masters of Zhenguo Gongfu and Wudinghou Mansion, how powerful they were, how amazing they were, how many military exploits they had, and how high they were. He is extremely humble in his military achievements, and does not have the arrogance that those generals with outstanding military achievements should have, and even have superior achievements.
Whenever this happens, he will always be very disgusted. He feels that his two masters have not even seen these children. They just listen to the spies' reports and praise them like nothing in the world. , it’s simply too unreasonable. If I meet each other in the future and find that these children are not worthy of their names, I will feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, in order to make his two kind-hearted princes less uncomfortable in the future, Zhen Buhui began to pour cold water on the two princes. Whenever they praised Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian, he would be right next to them. He made sarcastic remarks and said that it was all the blessing of his ancestors and the glory of his father's generation. I guess he didn't have any special abilities. It would be good if he could defend the city of Jiaping Pass. Nine out of ten of those astonishing achievements were made by civilians. The storyteller in the theater made it up, and it seems to be an exaggeration.
At first, the two princes didn't take it too seriously. They just felt that Zhen Buhui might be jealous and felt that they praised others but ignored themselves. It was a bit awkward, so they quickly praised him too, but later they discovered that, That's not the case. Zhen Buhui really doesn't believe that Shen Jiajun is so powerful. He really doesn't believe that these achievements are real.
When Zhen Buhui thought of this, he realized belatedly that the two princes asked him to bring people to the border this time to give him a chance to see is believing. They wanted him to see with his own eyes the information reported by the spies. This is not a random fabrication by a theater storyteller. Shen Jiajun's achievements are real and not exaggerated.
"No wonder!" Zhen Buhui washed his face, covered his face with a handkerchief, smiled softly, and said to himself, "Before leaving, I swore to the young master that the one who wins this time is still the one who wins. I, I didn’t expect that this time, my luck was not good and I lost completely.”
"What are you talking about?" Shopkeeper He pulled the veil off Zhen Buhui's face and snorted when he saw his somewhat regretful expression, "You deserve to lose. Who asked you to question my intelligence? No. , it should be said, who makes you question the prince and the young master’s vision of people? Maybe you are lucky and have good vision in other aspects, but when it comes to looking at people, you are still far behind the prince and the young master. !”
"I know I was wrong, and I am convinced that I lost this time." Zhen Buhui stretched out, turned over, and lay directly on the bed, "You are unreasonable, I just watched the general and that General Hongye was really shocked when he tied people up."
"It's not your fault. When I saw it for the first time, my reaction was exactly the same as yours."
"Isn't this your first time watching this?"
"Of course, I have been at the border for so many years, and I have naturally seen this. However, the general and the red leaf general do not often use this trick. It depends on the person and the occasion." He shopkeeper leaned on the soft table by the window, thinking After thinking about it, he said, "They have only used this trick a few times together. They are very calculated. This should be the third time. The first two times were on the battlefield."
"Have you seen them all?"
"How is that possible!" He shopkeeper chuckled, "This must be the second time I've seen it!"
"Let me tell you what happened at that time." When Zhen Buhui heard this, he immediately became energetic, and his whole body no longer hurt. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the person on the opposite bed and the shopkeeper, "Hurry up!"
"Why are you in a hurry? You have to wait for me to think about it. It has been a long time, no, it is not too long. It was probably three or four years ago or four or five years ago. At that time, the Duke and the Marquis I just took over the Shen Family Army." He and the shopkeeper clicked their tongues, "I didn't expect that just a few years have passed, and I already feel like I'm a world away."
"Because there is peace, there won't be many wars, right?"
"Yes!" Shopkeeper He nodded, "You are right. Because there is peace, I feel that when the war was turbulent, it was already a long, long time ago. But now that I think about it, it was only a few years ago."
"Okay, don't sigh. What was the situation at that time?"
"Because the old Mr. and Mrs. Guo and the old Mr. and Mrs. Hou basically left one after another. The Duke and the Marquis were not very old at that time. They were thirteen, fourteen, fourteen or fifteen years old, so they had to take over the thirty-four-year-old family. The Shen family army consisted of tens of thousands of people. Although they had followed their father on the battlefield since they were teenagers, and their military exploits were also outstanding, they were still young and their reputation was still a little smaller. Moreover, the change in the commander-in-chief of the border guards had a great impact on the Liao and Liaoning armies. This was a very big deal for the Jin Dynasty. They did not give up on Jiaping Pass and wanted to take advantage of the changes in the Shen family army to use all the forces that the Liao and Jin Dynasties could muster to attack the city. If they could capture it, wouldn't it mean that they had occupied a Is it a bargain?"
"It's so shameless to take advantage of others' danger!"
"Hey, that's not what you said. If you and I were standing in the position of Liao and Jin at that time, we would do the same, wouldn't we? This is an opportunity that cannot be missed and will never come back."
Zhen Buhui thought about it, sighed softly, and nodded towards the shopkeeper.
"That's true. Aren't we doing the same thing now? We really have no right to criticize others."
"Don't have any morality when dealing with foreigners. Taking advantage of your illness and taking your life is a universally recognized rule. As you said, we and Liao are taking advantage of the civil strife in Jin to support our own people and secretly carve them up. Isn’t the Jin Kingdom doing the same thing as the Liao and Jin Dynasties back then?”
