“Yes, it’s meaningless.”

"It's really meaningless."

Yangguan penetrated into the house, but could only climb to Niu Kelian's feet and could not shine into his heart.

The smile on Niu Kelian's face clearly reflected in everyone's eyes, but it seemed so bitter and confusing.

He whispered at first, and in just a moment, his voice became louder and his tone was particularly firm.

"Zhongzhou is like an old man in his twilight years. Many stubborn diseases have become deeply rooted and even spread and are difficult to cure, and may not be cured well. Sooner or later, there will be a day to die. The chaos of foreigners is just adding this process."

"It's meaningless."

"Besides, your Uncle Niu is just a commoner. How can you call the imperial army?"

"Uncle Niu is very pleased. After Brother Shi left, you still have the desire to take the world as your responsibility, but... maybe this is the so-called birth at the wrong time, and this era has let you down."

Niu Kelian was clearly talking to the three people, but his eyes were always avoiding the three people, either falling on the table, by the window, or on the ceiling.

"Uncle Niu!"

Seeing this strong man who had been waiting for death and had no intention of retreating now, Meng Chaoge felt so confused and couldn't bear to see this, so he shouted out lightly.

The room was silent for a moment.

Niu Kelian turned his gaze to Meng Chaoge again, showed a gentle and kind smile, and said, "Okay, let's see if you can tell Uncle Niu."

Meng Chaoge met the gaze he cast, but he could no longer see the fearless spirit that should have in those eyes. The fatigue of running around for several days seemed to be spreading all over his body at this moment, and he could not even open his mouth.

Even so, Meng Chaoge pursed his lips and forced himself to support himself, saying, "After Dad took off his armor and returned to the field, he did not dare to have any evil thoughts about the southwest border. Even after Dad passed away, the remaining power of the Shi family army was still there. A while ago, the eldest brother went to Kunlun Realm, and Uncle Huo and Uncle Guan left and were in Yunze Realm, and they met many old friends. They clearly stated that if the foreign barbarians violated the border again, they would not stand by."

"Furthermore, when the court can defend, only the military talismans of the court can be mobilized, but when the court cannot defend, the entire people of Zhongzhou have to be soldiers, and when they are not aware of where to follow, you, the former national protection general, will take action, who will not obey the orders?"

Meng Chaoge stared at Niu Kelian's expression. Seeing that what he said was still powerless to touch the other party, he secretly made up his mind, took a deep breath, and continued: "No one will deny the ability of a general in Zhennan to lead troops. Even if your glory stays in the past, it has little to do with whether you are injured or not. The court has a clear understanding of this."

"So I think you must be very clear that the court is relieved to you because you have no family background and no family, and there is no complicated relationship behind you."

"But because you are alone, have no worries and can be without any scruples, the court is not so relieved about you, so I sent someone to watch you for three years."

"As for why they withdrew, it is because you now have concerns, a root, and a place of peace of mind, and the court is completely at ease."

Meng Chaoge looked at Xiaohua and asked Niu Kelian: "It is the hometown that can be at peace. Uncle Niu, can you watch your hometown and Xiaohua's hometown be destroyed due to the war between foreigners?"

Niu Kelian placed his hands on his knees, as if he was vaguely pinching his thighs, and smiled, "No."

He added: "At least I won't do such a stupid thing as a massacre here."

Although Niu Kelian and the three of them had a round wooden table, Meng Chaoge still saw all his subtle actions. However, she did not think of a way to respond to Niu Kelian's reply.

It still depends on the senior brother...

Meng Chaoge was complaining about his incompetence in his heart, and Luo Piaoling had already taken over the conversation and said, "I guess this is the reason why Uncle Niu chose Jinzhou City to retire, right?"

Niu Kelian's hands were involuntarily resistant to the ground. The wide pants on his left thigh were almost broken, but the one on his right thigh was still drooping half.

"yes."

This word was squeezed out from the gap between the teeth of this sturdy man.

Luo Piaoling did not rush to continue asking, but analyzed Niu Kelian's choice.

"The Shaohai coast is a horizontal horseshoe-shaped horseshoe, with the opening facing east, and the location of Jinzhou City is the westmost point of the horseshoe, and the innermost point of the entire Shaohai Bay."

"Whether it is Guli or Japan attacking from the sea, Shaohaikou is the only channel. When entering Shaohaikou, you will face the pressure of Zhongzhou naval forces attacking on both sides. If you cannot defeat the defense line between Shaohaikou, once you go deep into Shaohai, you may be in a situation where you are closed and beaten to the dog."

"In short, if you invade by sea, you will go through many difficulties before you can come to the front of Jinzhou City."

"However, the prosperity of Jinzhou City is the best among Shaohai Bay. The wise invaders will never ignite the war here. Instead, they will use the benefits of Jinzhou City to quickly make up for the economic losses caused by the war."

"Similarly, it is not easier to get to the city of Jinzhou from the 6th route than to take the sea. Jinzhou City is like a big tonic. It is harmful and useless to destroy it. You can take it smartly and surrender it, and you must not use it to be rude and move it."

"So, no matter how shaky the world or the entire Zhongzhou is, it is difficult to feel much uneasy from the people of Jinzhou City, because the feeling this city gives people is indeed stable enough."

As Luo Piaoling finished analyzing, Niu Kelian let go of his hands that were holding his legs tightly and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Niu is old and can't stand the tossing."

After saying that, he glanced at Xiaohua, not daring to look at her, held her chin and pondered for a while, and said earnestly: "As before, Zhongzhou has grown old. Over the past two thousand years, Zhongzhou has continued to grow and grow. In this process, it has been a process of continuous integration with the so-called foreign barbarians. The name of a great country has not changed, and the surname of the emperor has changed again and again. In recent decades, Zhongzhou's ability to update and iterate has been greatly inferior to that before, and there will be such a disaster as twenty years ago. It is a disaster that cannot be avoided, and what should come will always come. Even if you say that day, Zhongzhou has been changed again."

Hearing this, Meng Chaoge was speechless. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, she could wipe out the heart of a tiger general who protected the country so completely, which made her feel disappointed.

As for Xue Qinghuan, who was basically silent, was disheartened by Niu Kelian and he no longer had any hope for Niu Kelian. The admiration that arose when he met was gone.

However, Luo Piaoling has not given up yet.

"Uncle Niu said is not without reason, but did Uncle Niu ever think about what situation women, especially women in Zhongzhou, would be placed in when the Oirat ruled the city of Jinzhou? I heard that Japanese people did not treat women as hard as those in the Oirat, but their entertainment methods seemed to be more."

Xiaohua was present, and Luo Piaoling used words to be particularly considerate, but Niu Kelian had changed his face.

"For more than two thousand years in Zhongzhou, although there are many surnames hanging on the imperial court, including Liu, Yang, Li, Zhou, Zhao, Sima, Zhu, etc., they are still in line with each other in terms of ideology. Even if their attitudes towards women are different, they are gradually valued. I have to change to an ideology that is unrelated to each other. It takes a considerable time to integrate from a woman to a life, and at the beginning, there are always some sacrifices. Will the Oirat and the Japanese choose to sacrifice themselves?"

Luo Piaoling had not continued to speak, and Niu Kelian was already trembling all over.

"No." Niu Kelian was not answering Luo Piaoling, but was convincing himself, "The Oirat and the northern part of Zhongzhou are connected. The grassland people have straightforward habits. Although they are a little arrogant, they are not so cruel and ruthless. Don't Japan often follow our Zhongzhou, and their daily customs are not so alien."

Before Luo Piaoling could speak, he heard Xiaohua say angrily: "Big Niu, I look down on you!"

The two pairs of eyes looked at Xiaohua together, and the little girl widened her eyes just like Niu Kelian at the beginning, clenched her fists.

But the little girl seemed to have been patient for a long time. The roar took a lot of effort, her chest was slightly undulating, and her pair of ponytails were swaying uneasy...
