Chapter 31 To the Ninth Brother: Ask only about hard work and not about fame

【original】 About Yuandi: On the fifth night of the first day of the first day, the tunnel bombarded the thief city for more than ten feet, and was blocked by the rebels. Our army suffered more than 300 casualties.There are many bandits in the city who have fought hundreds of times, and they have a lot of experience. Is there any reason why they can't block the gap?Suzhou will be restored first, and Jinling is nowhere in sight, so don't worry. In ancient times, great wars, great undertakings, and man-made schemes accounted for only three-tenths.No intention to stay seven out of ten.Often those who work hard are not the ones who become famous, and those who become famous are not the ones who enjoy happiness.This military affairs, such as the recovery of Anqing, Jiujiang, Wuhan, those who work hard are the ones who become famous. It is naturally very fair in God's will, but it cannot be relied on.My brother only focuses on the word of hard work, the word of fame, there is no need to ask, and the word of enjoyment, let alone the word.

His party fully surrendered. Changhuai will be wiped out in the near future, what a blessing!Is my brother in good health recently?My advice is two-sided: one is to be calm and calm, don't seek quick results.The second is to beware of aid thieves, the city thieves pounce inside and outside, and guard against them cautiously.
