Chapter 65: Boil wine

Chapter 61
In order to avoid giving the opponent too much time to redeploy troops, in the past two months, the fighting has been like heavy rain, and no day has stopped.
Liu Che and I boarded the temporary fortress and observation deck, looking out over the lush mountains and forests in the south. After the spring rains, they were full of life, but unfortunately, they were about to be stained red with blood.
"After today's war, we can move the front to the south." Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect the battle to go so smoothly."
Up to now, in the past two months, the number of deaths and injuries on our side has been about 2,000, and the death toll of the other side is estimated at about 3,000.
Looking at the rolling hills, the forest wind gusts, I always feel uneasy.
Yeah...it's too smooth...
"Where is Han Xin?" I looked forward and asked the people behind me without looking back.
"Master Han is talking with General Xu." It was the master who returned to me, and he stood not far behind me, at a reasonable distance.
"Xu Li? What is he here for?" I wondered.
As I was asking, the loud voice of Xu Li came. Liu Che smiled helplessly at me and went down to meet his General Xu. I was impatient to see those people, so I just stood on the observation platform side by side with the master.
The soldiers stood quite far away, only the two of us were so close to each other, but still kept an insurmountable distance.
"Where is Mo Wei?" It seems that I haven't seen him in the past few days.
"Ge Zhongsheng's poor scheduling, Mo Wei was ordered back to the rear as an assistant."
I listened to him in a gentle voice, although it was not cold, but after all, he was not as helpless and pampered as before... My heart was slightly entangled, the ten fingers trapped in the sleeves were slightly aching, and the face still had to be worn. If nothing happens, after half a month of such a life, I will be driven crazy. If I want to live a lifetime, the emperor is the emperor, the ministers are the ministers, and keep away from each other-how can this be...
Now I don't care about him, and I'm upset when I see him. My Qiao Yu doesn't know where he flew, and whether the others are well...
I slowly stepped down from the observation deck and turned back and said to him, "Let Han Xin come to see me later."
He stopped, bowed his head and said yes, and then stopped completely. I gave him one last look before returning to the camp. The distance was far away, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. I just thought he seemed to be in my direction. Watching. Some lonely figures, in the blue mountains washed by the spring rain, were wrinkled by the breeze, and their sleeves were slightly plain white.
That scene lingered in my mind, even when Han Xin came in, I vaguely mistook him as a master.
Han Xin saw that I still didn’t have a good face, and didn’t want to think about it. I was most likely the one he would serve in the future. If he didn’t flatter him, he would still have a coffin face, as if I owed him ten years of salary. It seems like this person can live to this day, except for the master's maintenance, that is, because he is too straight to be a threat to other people.
"How to deal with the prisoner of war?" I was too lazy to torture each other nonsense with him, and asked straightaway.
When it comes to official business, his face looks much better. "All settled down."
"Tens of thousands of prisoners of war, all settle down..." I frowned, no wonder that the food was consumed so quickly, and Ge Zhongsheng jumped straight over there. "At midnight, after the Battle of Baiyang Valley, if it still goes smoothly, the front will continue to move south. The supply line continues to stretch, the number of prisoners of war increases, and the consumption of food and grass is rapid... Han Qing..." Hearing what I call him, that beautiful The youth turned blue immediately, and I twitched my lips. "We dare not put these prisoners on the battlefield easily. Keeping them not only consumes food, but also wastes troops to guard, not producing and doing nothing. It's really not a solution."
Han Xin looked terrified, staring at me. "Does your Highness want to kill!" His eyes were staring, as if I nodded and he would fight with me.
I coughed twice, "Don't think of me as tyrannical, okay, I think I'm kind and loving... Look at these people, they can't be killed, kept, or raised. It's clear that Fujian and Vietnam decided that we were not. Will kill, and then deliberately sent to the door to contain us. Our six-month winning streak seems to be high morale, but what about the fact? What is Xu Li doing today?"
Han Xin fixedly looked at me for a while, his dark eyes were motionless, and I was terrified. He just replied: "General Xu has won the battle again. Please fight again and attack Baiyang Valley."
Then Xu Li, at first glance, knew that he was a brash man, brave than others, and a little ambitious, but unfortunately, too impetuous. There are countless people like him in the Three Kingdoms, all arrogant and arrogant, but the result is not frustrated and ashes, so why don't they know that they used to be a lesson?
The Minyue nation frequently shows weakness. Even if we are alert, it is inevitable that our soldiers will be proud and underestimate the enemy, especially when there is such a coach.
I sighed secretly, then asked: "What did your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty refused. General Xu returned angrily."
Returning in anger, returning in anger...This general too did not see Ache in his eyes. Did he think that Ache was sitting on the throne because the first emperor was wise and wise, or his general Xu's management? I don’t want to think about what Shen Dongli will do when he comes back. What he is best at is not fighting, but Yinren...
There was another thunder outside, and it seemed that it might rain tonight. The rumbling spring thunder shook my guard and my liver trembled. I always felt that something bad was about to happen. On such a cloudy and cold rainy night, without a warm embrace, it was really hard to sleep.
"His Royal Highness..."
"Huh?" I recovered and looked up at him.
With a complicated and awkward expression on Han Xin's face, he succumbed to me, the female gangster or gangster whom he despised or even hated for a long time, presumably he was unwilling but had no choice.
"How should I deal with the prisoner of war?" Han Xin asked.
"This..." I touched my chin, lowered my head and thought for a while, "Spring is here, it's time to sow, let them cultivate the land."
"Huh?" This time it was his turn to be startled.
"Yeah. Cultivated land." I clapped my hands and said with a smile, "I suddenly remembered that this road is very desolate, let them open up the land, and when they win the battle, this plain is ours. Also, remember to make them tired. I don’t have the strength to make small moves! Han Qing, leave this to you, ah, it’s really good for the country and the people!" I touched my chin and nodded triumphantly, "I’m such a noble person..."
Han Xin's expression changed from being stunned at the beginning to agreeing. After hearing the last sentence, he sank again, flicked his sleeves and wrinkled his eyebrows, and said coldly: "If nothing else, we will leave!"
I waved, smiled and watched him leave-this guy has no sense of humor.
When I was left alone in the account, I sighed.
Tired, hurting, laborious, laborious, and available to people, especially if there are too few generals, it is really troublesome to be troublesome.
Then Xu Li doesn't know if some moths will come out, what secret weapon is still hidden in Minyue Kingdom?
I told Bai Fan to keep an eye on Xu Li, but I also knew that once the time came, Xu Li would say "I will be out, and the Emperor will not be affected", and there is no alternative.
I was boringly playing chess pieces, and there was a lot of fog in front of me, probably only waiting for a gust of rain to blow away.

Until night fell, Liu Che hadn't been there, and the battle in Baiyang Valley was about to begin. I couldn't sit still anymore, and put on my coat and went to the military tent.
The rain crackled like firecrackers, and I looked up at the tent worriedly, always worried that I would be beaten through.
Liu Che didn't look very good, and a little pale. I heard his cough as soon as I came in. A series of coughs made his cheeks stained with sickly blush. He raised his eyes and looked at me, panting, slowly calmed his breath, and smiled: "Yingyu, are you here to play chess?"
"Waiting for the report." I patted the drops of water on my body and shivered. The rain was so cold that my muscles were eaten away. I rubbed my hands and squatted by the small fire to keep warm, and said without looking back, "Give me a kettle. liqueur."
Liu Che gave a hum, obediently put the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in hot water and blanched it. The taste of wine in this place is very weak, almost tasteless, and it is just a little bit drunk.
I sat upright and poured a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine into my abdomen. The warmth started from my stomach and spread across the limbs.
Liu Che stared at me without blinking, his eyes were clear, the corners of his mouth were slightly bent, and the orange candlelight made his face less pale.
"A drink?" I asked, thinking that he was in poor health, "Forget it, I will drink it myself."
He smiled without talking, and came over with the chess box, "When the report is on, let's play a game of chess."
I frowned impatiently. "You know my chess is bad, why do you always like to play with me? Do you bully me?"
He fiddled with the chess pieces, making a crisp knocking sound, his head was slightly lowered, I could only see his long eyelashes and smooth forehead. "Probably because, playing chess with you, don't think, don't bother."
I put the wine glass and said dissatisfied: "You mean my chess skills are so bad that you can win with your toes?"
He chuckled, looked up at me, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Because you think it's a vain idea, you don't know where you are going next, how can I guess?"
I was silent.
"Come on." He pushed the chess box to me, "You hold the black."
Nothing...
The sound of rain outside didn't mean to stop. I drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and played chess with him.
In other words, fill the chessboard.
"Ache, don't go down there." I grabbed his wrist.
"Why?" He looked at me suspiciously.
"Leave it to me here." I drew the black line, "That way I will be a six-in-one."
Liu Che took a deep breath. "It turns out that I played Go with you, and you were playing Six Men with me?"
I smiled, not ashamed or ashamed.
He sighed again. "Forget it, why don't I play Six Men with you."
"Don't." I stopped him, "You play yours, I play mine. If you play Six Men, I'll play Go with you!" With a speechless expression on his face, I filled in a piece of peace of mind, happily : "Six stars in a row, I won!"
So Liu Che sighed, "I lost to you..."
"Now, Ache. I beat you with six stars, and you beat me in Go. In this game, none of us lose, isn't it great?" I kindly comforted him.
He twitched his mouth and smiled bitterly. "Are you trying to tell me that even if we meet on a chessboard, we will never reach the same world?"
"You are a white and I am a black. We are always together. The chessboard is like a country, no matter who loses or wins, this world can only be the world of the Liu family." I insisted on my position without wavering. People can't have a bottom line. Once you have something like a bottom line, you will only retreat three hundred miles a day, and eventually you will not leave a single inch of land. "Ache, in the past half a month, I have seen clearly and thought about it clearly. Regardless of the surname of Li and Liu, the blood on my body is mother's blood after all. Dongli asked if I hate him..." My heart was a little bit sour, with only a wry smile, "How can I hate him? What he wants to protect is the world of our Liu family, but my real Liu family selfishly wants to stay safe and not ask about the world... He endured it. Pressure has never been more than me. I don’t hate him, I just blame him, and I don’t blame him for selling me to this throne, whose surname is Liu. I only blame him for hiding everything from me, even if I know I will board The throne, his situation will be very embarrassing, even an absolute passive disadvantage, but he is also ready to withstand revenge..."
"Yingyu." Liu Che interrupted me, with a faint sadness in his eyes. "Why do you always talk about him in front of me, you know..."
I don't look away and dare not look directly at the affection in his eyes. I can't afford those. "Ache, in my heart, the fact is the same. You are the only relative in this world. The promise I made to you will never change. No matter what you do, you will always be my brother, and I will always I won’t blame you, I won’t ignore you, I won’t leave you behind.

"But you forgot about me!" He grabbed the corner of the table emotionally, with a faint blue vein floating on the back of his hand. "I know, it's just self-hypnosis in your subconscious, you want to forget me!"
I stepped back and moved my lips, but I didn't know how to argue. Perhaps, I don't want to forget him, but just want to forget the troubles, and hope that every day I wake up, there is a beginning without troubles and no past. No need to think about the vast rivers and mountains in the master's heart, no need to think about the rivers and lakes and martial arts in Tao Qing's heart, no need to think about those entangled struggles and right and wrong, put all the troubles aside, I just want to remember their good - but You can escape for a while, but you can't escape for a lifetime.
The source of all my troubles-Liu Che, looked at me sadly.
"Why can't you love me more..."
Is it impossible or not?
"My mother loves my father so much. I don't understand why. My father is obviously dismissive of my mother..." He slowly lowered his eyelids. "People in the palace, climb high and low, mother is not favored, and sexual Supple, even the servants do not regard her as the master. The imperial concubine, but the poor life is worse than ordinary people, in winter, there is no charcoal stove for heating, after a few winds, the root of the disease fell. That year. , I also contracted the cold. Regardless of her serious illness, she ran out of gold and silver jewelry just to seek medical treatment from the imperial doctor, but no more money to buy medicinal materials... It was she who stayed up a few nights and embroidered The innumerable tricks were sold privately by the palace clerk who asked to go out to save money for the medicine. My illness is cured, but her eyes can't see things day by day..."
"Ache..." My nose was sour, but I didn't know how to comfort him.
"In this world, only my mother really loved me and protected me. Later, there was you..." As he said, the corners of his mouth were slightly bent, and there was also a warm smile in his eyes. "No one has ever helped me. They just watched and smiled. No one has ever helped me like you, yelling at me. It's my mother, and he just treated me heartily. In the beginning, I just wanted to follow you , Looking at you, but if it’s just like that, you will never see me. Only if I have the power and power, like my father, can I let everyone surrender under my feet. And you, I don’t want to surrender, I I just want you to stay by my side, I just want you to treat me as if you treat them..." He looked at me with a smile, but his eyes were filled with sadness and despair, "If I do something wrong, tell me, What should I do, okay?"
