Chapter 281: Loyalty and Courage
In Yuzhou, Bai Bingxiong received the military order, and 10,000 horses had been assembled and were about to rush to the northwest for reinforcements. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the day of departure, there was only three watches, and Bai Bingxiong was about to get up and go to the barracks, and the Li family had already gotten up and was packing all kinds of bags for Bai Bingxiong.
"We're going to war, not to go on a tour, so we don't have to be so troublesome, the less things the better. ”
Bai Bingxiong looked at Li Shi and thought of this for a while, and thought of that for a while, so he was too busy to work, so he persuaded.
Li Shi gave him a blank look: "Then wouldn't it be better for you to bring nothing at all?" It depends on what you wear and what you use when you go there. ”
Bai Bingxiong simply nodded: "It's good not to bring anything, this time it's not to go out to suppress bandits, it's to go to the border pass, there are big camps, positions, and supplies from the imperial court, it won't be like before, you have to bring a little wound medicine by yourself, don't be busy, let's talk, it's time to leave in a while." ”
Li stuffed the last piece of clothing into Bai Bingxiong's big baggage, trying not to show any sadness.
"I've said everything I need to say, as long as you come back to me well, I won't ask for anything. ”
Bai Bingxiong nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I'll come back safely and securely, for so many years, I haven't been idle, I've been suppressing bandits, isn't it just Hu Ren, I'm not one of those soldiers who have been raised, you just have to rest assured." ”
When Bai Bingxiong went out with his own soldiers, Li endured and endured, but he still couldn't help but have red circles.
The soldiers who went out were not allowed to go to the barracks to send them, so they could only send them to their own doors, and Li and Bai Xianghuan stopped outside the door.
"Sir, take care all the way. Lee's voice was calm, without the slightest hint of crying.
The sky was still just dark, Bai Bingxiong rode on the horse, looked back at the hazy house behind him, and the wife and children standing at the door, but after all, he still raised the horsewhip and urged the horse away.
He was reluctant to give up his home, but if the Hu people invaded, there would be nothing.
When the sound of horses' hooves on the bluestone pavement completely disappeared, Li turned around and leaned on his son's shoulder and cried.
"In the past, your father blamed you for refusing to practice martial arts, but now it's good, if your father and son go, it will really dig out my heart. ”
After crying, Li wiped his tears and walked back slowly, but felt that the house was empty.
"Your sister doesn't know what's going on. "I sent my husband away and started thinking about my daughter again.
Bai Xianghuan has been comforting beside him, and he was relieved to see that his mother could move her heart to think about something else: "My sister's letter from home these days should also arrive, don't worry, mother, my son will go to the post station today to ask." ”
By the time dawn, Bai Xianghuan was on his way to the county school, and he had already seen crowds on the street, all of them rushing in the direction of the city gate.
There has been no war on the border of Daqi for many years, and the military of Daqi has long been no better than before, and most of the garrisons in Yuzhou have not experienced cruel wars, at most, they will go out to suppress bandits, most of them are locals, at this time, five or six of the ten military households have husbands or sons to go, although they are not allowed to go to the barracks to send, but they are all rushed to the side of the road outside the city to see each other, maybe they can also see their husbands and sons, who knows how many people can go back this time?
Bai Xianghuan thought of his mother, who was calm and safe in front of his father, but cried after his father left.
The mother did not cry in front of her father, and did not go outside the city to see her off, because she was afraid that her father would be worried all the way and would not be at peace.
He chose a completely different path from his father, but after that, he will definitely shoulder the responsibility of the white family, take good care of his mother, and wait for his father to return.
In a reluctant cry, the mighty men and horses left Yuzhou, to the west, along the way to the flag, the momentum is pressing, no one dares to take it lightly, all the way to the cavalry first, the infantry followed, are rushing to the border day and night, although there are people who are afraid in their hearts, but most people, as men in the army, have a heart to serve the country, the blood of meritorious service, is to although the road is long, but the speed of the soldiers.
In the evening of this day, He Qi rode on a horse, stood on the top of the mountain, and watched the mighty army crossing the official road with more than a dozen horsemen behind him, and saw Bai Bingxiong's figure from afar, and couldn't help but sigh.
"These are all loyal and brave people!"
He knew that a person like Lord Bai must have gone to the border this time.
The middle-aged man behind him, Mr. Yuan, the staff member who accompanied him this time, heard the words and said: "But there is an old man?"
He Qi glanced back at him and said curiously, "How did Mr. know?"
"We saw a lot of reinforcements along the way, but Gongzi didn't stop to look, and this team of men and horses is a subordinate of the Yuzhou Army, so there must be Gongzi's deceased. ”
He Qi's head was bowed, but Mr. Yuan's voice changed: "It's a pity that there are many people who are loyal to the liver and courage of Daqi, but there are very few who can get a good death." ”
"What do you mean, sir? You mean like my father?"
The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the heart of the emperor has always been nothing more than this, He Qi didn't think much about it.
But Mr. Yuan shook his head: "No." Childe, Daqi has not had such a large-scale war for a full twenty years, when Emperor Gaozong was there, the generals and His Royal Highness the King of Qin have cleared the road for the first emperor, it is good to take the flat road, but it has been a long time, once it has embarked on a rugged and bumpy road, it is difficult to say, this time the army of Daqi moved together, not to mention anything else, grain and grass military needs are the first, Daqi looks at the country rich and the people are strong, but at this time, the emperor still has to build a spiritualist platform, but also a large-scale draft, Zhu Siming, the head of the household, is sleek and charming, and the household can allocate how many silver taels for these loyal and brave peopleIf there is a shortage of silver and two military supplies, then ......"
He Qi suddenly understood, if the grain and grass and military supplies could not keep up, what would the soldiers do to fight? At this time, in the middle of summer, cotton clothes were not necessary, but grain and grass, swords and soldiers, and medicine were all indispensable.
"Ridiculous!"
After several battles of life and death, he understood the difficulties of the battlefield, and a wave of disgust suddenly rose in He Qi's heart for the emperor's cousin who he had never met.
As a monarch, the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, but he is completely reversed, a person, who can't protect his queen, will take the whole world to be willful and tossed, which is really cold!
Mr. Yuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
He has not been foolish and loyal to the man on the throne of the dragon, nor has he been afraid, nor has he spoken lightly about the right and wrong of the king, but only two words, absurd, and very well-spoken.
His Royal Highness the King of Qin has fought for half his life for this great Qi country, and he has been lonely for half his life, but he has never been willing to rebel against his father and brother who have passed away for many years, but the son is different.
He has the blood of the Xiao family, and he is about to have a righteous status, and he has no friendship with the person on the dragon throne, and he can distinguish between right and wrong, and listen to people's words, if there is really that day, he can always ask His Royal Highness King Qin for justice!
