When Yuan Zhao enlisted in the army, General Yuan had only been promoted to general. At that time, the Yuan family army had not yet been established and his reputation was not well known. General Yuan arranged him to be a small soldier under his command. It is more than enough to be promoted to the general banner, but General Yuan, on the grounds that he was too young to join the army, gave all his military merits to his comrades who fought with him to kill the enemy.
Later, Yuan Zhao was fourteen years old, and General Yuan continued to keep him at the bottom on the grounds that he needed more experience. Yuan Zhao was the youngest among the soldiers at the bottom, but he was the oldest. He had been a soldier for four years, until At the age of sixteen, Qi Xiuyuan, who was younger than him, was raised as a small flag in the intercession of the generals.
In terms of the number of enemies killed, Qi Xiuyuan may not be as good as Yuan Zhao, but he was promoted to the rank of sergeant at the age of eighteen. Yuan Zhao was only a school captain. When Qi Xiuyuan could lead troops independently, he had to obey the orders from above.
Qi Xiuyuan was the general and Yuan Zhao was the soldier.
It can be said that it was General Yuan who restricted Yuan Zhao's development. Qi Xiuyuan had always had a keen eye. He revered General Yuan, and he naturally knew clearly about him. When he was arguing about joining the army at the age of two, although he wanted to sharpen him more, he would not limit him too much, and even directly lost a fifth battalion to him.
As soon as he was fourteen years old, he was promoted to the Colonel first, and after he regained the Hanzhong Mansion, he did not hesitate to ask him to be promoted to Sergeant.
Yuan Zhao Before he was 20 years old, General Yuan would never allow people in the army to call him a little general, but Qi Haoran had not joined the army yet, and the people under Qi Xiuyuan were called little generals and little generals.
There is also a comparison between the two. The world praises General Yuan for being very strict with his son, while the emperor loves his younger brother too much.
If General Yuan did not treat his other sons equally, everyone would doubt whether Yuan Zhao was the son of General Yuan.
Qi Xiuyuan does not deny that General Yuan is of high moral character, nor does he question his educational methods, because at present, in the context of the general domineering of the second generation, the self-discipline of the children of the Yuan family is indeed a beautiful sight.
Apart from Yuan Zhao, the children of the Yuan family are indeed not high-ranking officials, and they are not well known, but they are self-disciplined, fair, and love the people. degree of doing.
He doesn't question it, it doesn't mean he agrees, whether he is selfish or narrow-minded, anyway, he can't bear his brother and son to suffer like this, the kind of suffering that is suppressed and unable to stand out, he has endured since he was a child , know that kind of depressed mood.
Even if General Yuan is not like Qi Feng, he is suppressing with good intentions, Qi Xiuyuan would not agree, so when educating his younger brother and cousin, Qi Xiuyuan warned them more than once that we cannot teach our children to be illiterate. The playfulness of children, but it cannot suppress the development of children. To what extent they can achieve and how far they can grow, let them go.
Influenced by Qi Xiuyuan, even if Qi Haoran regards General Yuan as an idol, he has to say that he is biased in educating his children. Look, Yuan Zhao can't stand that kind of distress now, so he has to find another way out, right?
Qi Haoran asked Fan Zijin, "Then do we want to help Yuan Zhao? Speaking of which, I had a fight with his brother Wulang back then, and we still have some friendship."
Fan Zijin glanced at him and said, "Yuan Zhao has been educated by General Yuan since he was a child. Even if he has the idea of finding another way out at this time, I'm afraid it's not easy to bring it up. It's not bad for you to pimp out."
Qi Haoran stared, "I'm worrying about the country, how can I say I'm pimping..."
"Okay, if you want to go, hurry up. The generals who enter the capital can't stay for long. Even if the two generals want to marry their children, they will leave the capital within a day or two. Yuan Zhao is thin-skinned, and he will definitely not compare They will stay for a long time. If you don't go, the people will probably leave tomorrow. The flames that have just been raised will probably go out again when these people return to the north one by one. The flames turned into a big fire," Fan Zijin's eyes shone brightly, and said, "As long as Yuan Zhao's fire is prosperous, and we push him to bring out his younger brothers as well, the torches can turn into a prairie prairie. The fire, when the time comes, Daqi will have a few more good generals who can lead troops to guard the border, and also disintegrate the Yuan family army!"
Qi Haoran was so excited by what he said, he jumped up and said, "Then I'll go add firewood."
At this time, Yuan Zhao was sitting in the study, looking at the desolate courtyard outside. The bright yellow leaves on the trees were fluttered off the leaves by the wind and fell to the ground. Because no one had cleaned them for a long time, the leaves in the courtyard were piled up. Layer after layer.
This is the Yuan family's mansion in the capital. It was given by Emperor Jingyan of the former dynasty. Once, his grandmother, mother and younger brothers lived here as a pledge to ensure that his father and him would not rebel at the border.
At that time, my father was full of reclaiming his homeland, and there was no doubt about this, because he firmly believed that as long as he was loyal to Da Zhou and the emperor, his family would be fine.
But his father overestimated Emperor Jingyan, and also overestimated the Great Zhou Dynasty. His grandmother, mother, wife and children were almost trapped in the capital. Fortunately, the current emperor helped.
Yuan Zhao admired Qi Xiuyuan, and even regarded him as looking up to him.
Except for his wife, no one knows that what he worships is not his own father, but the current saint. After all, his father is the object of many people's worship.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhao couldn't help laughing at himself. When he was young, many people compared him with Qi Xiuyuan. With kung fu, bravery and strategy, people around him said that Qi Xiu was far inferior to him. , he was afraid that he would have walked ahead of Qi Xiuyuan.
But Yuan Zhao always knew clearly that he was not as good as Qi Xiuyuan, not in kung fu, bravery and strategy, but in courage and character.
The Qi family was a civil servant, and Qi Xiuyuan was always suppressed by his father. I heard that when he was a child, he didn't even invite him from his husband, and he repeatedly said that he was unfilial. He dared to leave home to join the army alone, and he dared to work hard in the army alone without losing his heart. Yuan Zhao asked himself, can you do it? Do you dare to do it?
The answer is no, because he has been hesitating and hesitating all the time. Ten years have passed since he hesitated. He missed the best time of his life. At this time, he will miss another ten years and miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service. ?
Leaving the Yuan family army, in any army, he can go farther and stand taller. Yuan Zhao's complexion is getting worse and worse, his hands are clenched into fists, and Shen Qi, the military adviser who enters the door, sees such a scene, he knows He is at war between heaven and man. If he can take that step, then he doesn't need to persuade him today. If he can't...
Shen Qi stood aside, seeing Yuan Zhao's unpredictable complexion, but she still hadn't made up her mind, so she sighed faintly, this cousin is good at everything, he is a good soldier in war, and he is not weak in communication, but he is hesitant in this matter. .
Shen Qi's sigh came into Yuan Zhao's ears, Yuan Zhao was like a deflated ball, sitting on the chair with red eyes, his back was hunched a lot, and he was sitting there almost depressed.
