Chapter 176 People are more likely to know themselves

As soon as Qiao Wan left, Long Xiang slapped his head and said it was broken.

Where can I get noodles in this era? Apart from the steamed buns he just invented, the main method of noodles is soup cakes (similar to the current noodle slices).

The explanation is that there is no explanation. Perhaps the food like noodles will become the first of Xiaoqiao?

Longxiong asked someone to prepare a horse to go out and prepare to go to the craftsman camp to find a bridge.

When I passed by the Hero Monument, I suddenly found a familiar figure. It was Qiao Yi who was kneeling on the stage and crying.

Is anyone bullying Qiao Yichang? How dare I bully my brother-in-law in Hefei? Is that so great?

Seeing this, Long Xiang quickly turned over and got off the horse, stepped up the steps a few steps and came to the monument, but saw Qiao Rui's sword posing in front of Qiao Yichang.

"The young master cried so sadly, could he be missing General?"

"Brother is here."

Qiao Yi hurriedly wiped away the tears, and stood up and explained: "I passed by the Hero Monument many times in the afternoon. When I saw the people coming here to mourn my relatives, I remembered that my father's tomb was far away in Qiao County, so I couldn't help but come to talk to him."

"What do you want to tell the general?" Long Xiang helped him up as he was.

Qiao Yi replied: "I just told my father, mother, sister, everything is fine, and brother takes good care of us."

Long Xiang nodded slightly and asked in confusion: "Since everything is fine, why is the young master crying?"

Qiao Yi looked at the sword in his hand and suddenly shook his head bitterly and helplessly: "I hate that I cannot practice martial arts well, I hate that I am not a general, and I hate that I cannot inherit my father's will."

Long Xiang was stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself, how old are you? How easy is practicing martial arts?

Any famous general is a lucky person who is killed in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. There are very few people at the peak of his birth. Do you have too high requirements for yourself?

"Young Master, can you tell me why you have to practice martial arts well? Do you want to be a general who is trapped in the battle or a general who commands the army?"

Qiao Yiqiang murmured, "Is this different?"

Long Xiang smiled and replied, "That's a big difference. The general who was trapped in the formation was like Xiang Yu. He could take the heads of the enemy generals among thousands of troops, and the general who commanded the troops was like Han Xin, who commanded thousands of troops to fight.

You just need to plan your own strategy.”

"Xiang Yu, Han Xin? I can't compare."

Qiao Yi shook his head and added: "It's enough to be able to do what his father is like."

Long Xiang thought that your requirements are really not high, but low requirements are easy to become cannon fodder on the battlefield. Now that Qiao Yi has become his brother-in-law, he must provide some guidance for his future employment. Now he must use reason to wake him up.

"The famous generals of ancient times cannot compare to them. What do you think of Xu Zhongkang? Can your father's martial arts be better than him?"

Qiao Yi's eyes widened when crying, shook his head and muttered, "It's not possible."

Seeing this, Long Xiang pursed his lips: "That's a problem. I guess there are many people in the world who have Zhongkang's martial arts. If only the general's ability is a general, how can he survive when he meets him on the battlefield?"

"Well"

Qiao Yichang swallowed awkwardly and asked tentatively: "Well, like a brother, be a general who commands the army?"

Long Xiang shook his head and laughed at himself: "I am the general who commands the army? It's not. The world's commanding troops is as powerful as me, and the number of chariots is countless. Have you seen me lead troops to fight?"

"That"

Qiao Yi grabbed his head and didn't know how to continue asking.

"People should be self-aware. They should be good at using their own strengths instead of blindly pursuing other people's achievements. Otherwise, they will be able to seek fish from a tree. If they are ordinary people with mediocre qualifications, what's the harm to face their own ordinary things calmly?"

Long Xiang finished speaking with a serious look on his face, suddenly turned around and put his hands on his waist, looking at the sunset in the sky and continued to reason.

"Young master is still young now, so you don't have to blindly decide what to do in the future. The two ladies and wives are taken care of by me, and you don't have to bear anything for the general. Give yourself more time to think about what you are most interested in, whether you practice martial arts,

If you study literature, you can do business, even if you have a business plan, you will find a teacher for you and learn it well for a few years before you can talk about your ideals.”

"Um"

Qiao Yi nodded as if he was ignorant, and suddenly pulled Longxiang's cuff and asked curiously: "Brother is so humble, what are you best at?"

"I'm best at it?" Long Xiang frowned.

After thinking for a while, Long Xiang suddenly pointed at the Hero Monument and asked again: "How does the young master think this Hero Monument is doing?"

Qiao Yiqian looked around and murmured, "It's pretty good."

Long Xiang nodded gently and stretched out his left hand, and his five fingers gradually leaned towards the palm of his hand.

"The Hero Monument is based on site selection, design, drawing, materials, craftsmanship, etc., all of which are my own work. In terms of martial arts, I am not as good as Zhongkang, and in terms of wisdom, I am not as good as Zijing, but in terms of architectural design and construction organization, there is no one in Hefei in all.

Better than me”

"Ah this."

Qiao Yi has heard craftsmen praise Long Xiang, and even craftsmen praise him for creating cement. But craftsmen are craftsmen after all, even if they become the strongest in the Han Dynasty, what if they can be called a marquis and a title? Could it be that they can still be awarded a title?

Thinking of this, Qiao Yiqiang's expression became strange: "I don't know what the use of my brother's ability is in this troubled world?"

"What's the use? Is it a big use? Hahaha"

Long Xiang laughed confidently, and then asked Qiao Yiqiang: "Young Master once went up to the city wall to watch the battle. Do you think it is easy to defend the city or to attack the city?"

"Even Sun Ce can't even get in, it's naturally easier to defend the city."

Long Xiang saw Qiao Yiqiong give the answer and added with a smile: "My ability makes the city strong. Do you think this skill is useless? Besides, you have been in the craftsman camp and the organizational and dispatching ability you have trained during the construction process is put into the army.

It is both common to the government, so don’t underestimate it.”

"I understand." Qiao Yi nodded and agreed.

Long Xiang saw Qiao Yi's understanding, patted his shoulder and whispered to encourage: "I've gotten out of the topic. The young master will think clearly when he goes back. After he thinks about it, he will find a teacher for you, but if you really want to learn martial arts, Zhongkang's

Ask yourself to practice enough.”

"As my brother said, no matter how well I practice, I may not have the ability of General Xu. Why waste time and make things difficult for myself?"

While Qiao Yichang was helping in the craftsman camp, he was actually quite interested in construction, so he was afraid that Chen would say that he had no ambition.

Just now, when I heard Longxiang connect the construction with the city guarding, Qiao Yi suddenly thought that this direction was also good, at least my brother-in-law would teach him more carefully than others.

Qiao Yichang boldly asked: "Brother, can the architecture be used in war besides strengthening the city defense?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I have to form a craftsman camp? Before the battle, quickly build a solid camp and directly fight a defensive counterattack with the enemy. Are you angry?"

When Long Xiang said this, he suddenly remembered the tower-pile tactic. If he built a dock in a critical location, he would probably be able to disgust his opponent.

Qiao Yi's eyes shone brightly when he heard it, thinking that architecture can be associated with war, so his mother should not object.

Just as I was about to tell Longxiong about his choice, I suddenly heard a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded on the main road in the south.

Soon, the man quickly passed by the hero's monument and suddenly pulled and stopped again.

Qiao Yiqiang reminded: "It's Governor Cao."

Long Xiang walked down the steps to welcome him, Cao Xing rushed over quickly, clasped his fists and reported anxiously:

"The general turned out to be here. The last general didn't have to go to the Sima Mansion of the Army. The navy patrol team leader urgently reported that seven or eight Jiangdong warships broke into Chaohu. It is estimated that they will arrive in Hefei before dark."
