[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 159 [English]

Chapter 154 Men

Xiao Chiye was scolded and would be punished in public in the military tent tomorrow.He has been demoted and is not even considered a general now.What happened to the genius?Even if you lose the battle, you should be treated as a grandson.In the battlefield, don’t brag about the battles you fought in the past or the people you won. That doesn’t count.Xiao Chiye killed Hu and Lu in Shasan Camp, which indeed aroused heated discussion in the army, but Xiao Fangxu did not reward him and instead made him the general of the baggage train.This move was not understood by others, but the old-school generals understood it best. This was what Xiao Fangxu meant by re-employing Xiao Chiye.

Xiao Fangxu refused to reward him in order to silence his original criticism and prove that he was far more harsh on his son than on other people.Guo Weili fought with Hu Helu in Tudalong Banner, but without winning much, Xiao Fangxu promoted him and transferred him to Shasan Camp to continue to be the commander. Such a sharp contrast, smart people know to shut up, which means that Xiao Chiye’s future promotions will be based on actual performance, and it also leaves room for Xiao Chiye’s defeat.

It’s not that you can’t afford to lose at the battlefield. Xiao Jiming can lose, Guo Weili can lose, and Zhaohui can lose. That’s because they are all familiar generals from Libei. Their defeat is excusable, and their defeat is forgivable. These are things that Xiao Chiye does not have.Once Xiao Chiye really stands at the front, he can only win. He must prove to the sluggish Libei Iron Cavalry that he is Libei’s best choice.

Xiao Chiye left the military tent and put on his clothes.He has gauze wrapped around his waist, and his right arm is the most seriously injured. He will not be able to draw the Overlord Bow in the near future, so he must be careful even when using the Wolf Sword.

Xiao Chiye took a few breaths of hot air and whistled to call Lang Tao Xuejin.Lang Tao’s snow collar has just been washed, and the saddle has not yet been installed.Xiao Chiye turned over, patted Lang Taoxue’s neck, leaned over and whispered something to her.Lang Tao Xuejin bounced her horse’s hooves and ran obediently into the night.

“Still the same as before,” Zuo Qianqiu said with emotion as he stood at the door of the tent, “I just like horse racing when I feel unhappy.”

“I’m holding my breath,” Xiao Fangxu raised the boiling tea, “it shows that the six years in Qudu were not in vain. If things were like this before, I would have dared to throw down the curtain and run away when I scolded him for the second time. The old foxes in Qudu are still good at it.”

“I really can’t blame him entirely for this battle.” Zuo Qianqiu looked back, “Hasen set such a trap in Tudalong Banner, and you and I may not be able to escape unscathed.”

“There is no possibility of ‘exchange’ in a war. It is his battle, and he should bear the victory or defeat.” Xiao Fangxu paused for a moment, “This battle is bound to be lost. He dares to turn around and go to the swamps of Tudalong Banner to fight in a roundabout way. I am happy in my heart.”

“That’s right,” Zuo Qianqiu smiled and nodded at Xiao Fangxu, “You just mean what you say.”

Xiao Fangxu held the tea bowl and said, “But I can’t praise him.”

Zuo Qianqiu said: “You are so proud of your Mingming.”

“He brothers are different,” Xiao Fangxu turned his face sideways, “Ji Ming is like He’s mother. After having a younger brother, people often talk about how A Ye is like his father, as if He was born a few years earlier to seize A Ye’s position, so I have to praise Ji Ming from time to time. A Ye is like me, he is still the youngest son in the family, and Ji Ming protects him, he is very wild. heHe dared to play with anything he wanted. Before he was fourteen, he almost broke his neck. After the injury was healed, he would run away and continue to train.When he was fourteen, he fought well in the battle. Who wouldn’t praise him at that time?If he wanted something at that time, he would not let others give it to him, so he had to get it himself.What he lacked in character was not praise, but scolding.”

“Being a father is a skill, and I am not as good as you.” Zuo Qianqiu’s first wife died early. After the battle at Tian Fei Que, he wandered around the Zhou Dynasty and never renewed his relationship, so naturally he had no children.At this moment, he sat down and said: “However, Biansha has been blessed with numerous talents in recent years. Amul also has a good son. Hassen is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and is decisive and direct.”

“Amul has a good taste,” Xiao Fangxu took a sip of hot tea, “The most rare thing about Hasen is that he has an eclectic style of play but a very stable character.”

“If Ji Ming is transferred back here,” Zuo Qianqiu said, “he can be somewhat restrained.”

“Yes,” Xiao Fangxu moved his feet slightly and said, “Zhaohui followed Ji Ming and learned the most similar fighting style from Ji Ming. But Ha Sen was fighting Qidong originally and met Qi Zhuyin, who is the same type as Ji Ming. He is already used to that rhythm. So you see Zhao Hui, although he can contain Ha Sen’s fierce attack, he is also firmly pinned to the Northern Army Road by Ha Sen.”

Zuo Qianqiu laughed and said: “But Hasen versus Aye is like the tip of a needle versus the wheat. Even if the forces are equal, I think it is more likely that both sides will suffer losses.”

“To say that both sides suffer is to flatter him. The current he is no match for Hassen. Hassen went to the battlefield earlier than Ji Ming. Experience is far more terrifying than talent. Aye is not even a star.” Xiao Fangxu stood up, flipping the dagger between his fingers and staring at the straw target opposite, “The wolf cub can’t win.”

Zuo Qianqiu put up his hands and said leisurely: “The general of baggage is a good position. Once you understand it thoroughly, you will be able to know the size of Libei’s army lines, the strength of each battalion, and even the character of the commander.”

Xiao Fangxu threw the dagger hard and hit the bull’s eye.He turned his head and smiled proudly at Zuo Qianqiu: “I want to give Amul a gift so that he can see how powerful I am.”

It was almost dawn when Xiao Chiye came back. When he dismounted, Chen Yang stepped forward and presented the handkerchief.He wiped the sweat from his neck, saw Xiao Fangxu standing not far away, and motioned for him to come over.He was not very happy and wanted to pretend he didn’t see it.

Xiao Fangxu hung one arm on the back of Xiao Chiye’s neck, forcing Xiao Chiye to lean down, and then used his other hand to rub the top of Xiao Chiye’s hair vigorously, messing up his hair.

“Where’s my eagle?” Xiao Chiye managed to get out and rubbed his neck, “Don’t feed it raw meat.”

“Your eagle, why are you asking me?” Xiao Fangxu took a few steps and saw that he was still not happy, so he turned around and tried to kick him.

Xiao Chiye jumped away quickly and said, “Let me ask!”

Xiao Fangxu ignored he, touched Lang Tao Xue’s lapel a few times, and said: “Last year we got a batch of new horses at home, and one of them has the opposite color, white with black inside, very beautiful.”

“Oh,” Xiao Chiye heard the meaning, “You want to give it to me, right?”

Xiao Fangxu glanced at him and said, “Give it to you? That’s what your sister-in-law will leave to your wife.”

Xiao Chiye glanced at Hongyan Mountain behind him and said nothing.

“That arm binding is good,” Xiao Fangxu stepped on the wooden railing and sat on it. Seeing Xiao Chiye turn around, he turned around and looked at Xiao Chiye’s expression, “Where did you get it? It’s not Qidong’s style.”

“Of course that’s good,” Xiao Chiye turned around and said secretly, “That’s my amulet.”

Xiao Fangxu said “Hmm” perfunctorily, and then asked: “Where are they from? They won’t be dragged into the Bianbo camp by you, right? Those are stinky men. How old is she?”

Xiao Chiye said: “Smelly man?”

Xiao Fangxu didn’t understand.

Xiao Chiye took a few steps back.

Xiao Fangxu narrowed his eyes and said, “You won’t bring the Hua family’s daughter back, will you?”

Xiao Chiye continued to back away, seeing his father’s confused face, he laughed out loud for some reason, unloaded the Langlu knife and threw it aside.

“Xiao Chiye,” Xiao Fangxu sensed something was wrong, “please tell the truth.”

Xiao Chiye suddenly said loudly: “Smelly man!”

“Huh?” Xiao Fangxu suspected that he heard wrongly and even turned his ears.

“I’ve found a man for you!” The sun shone on Xiao Chiye’s face, dispelling yesterday’s clouds. The boy was so nefarious that he shouted provocatively, “The most beautiful man in Dazhou is my wife!”

After saying that, he turned around and ran away without waiting for Xiao Fangxu’s reaction.

Xiao Fangxu was quiet for a while, and Chen Yang swallowed softly, then he saw Xiao Fangxu suddenly jumped up and almost tripped over himself when he went to the ground.

Chen Yang quickly said: “Wang——”

“Xiao Chiye!” Xiao Fangxu roared loudly. He stood up and chased after him. Halfway through, he couldn’t catch up. When he got angry, he picked up horse dung and smashed it on his chest. He cursed, “Get back here and tell me clearly!”
