604 Military Newspaper
In the past two days, there have been dead soldiers reporting for duty, and Han Ji handed over this matter to Wu Dongping and the battalion lieutenants who had already arrived. The strength of 3,000 men has reached more than 1,900, and with their respective sons and daughters, there are 2,348.
The people have not arrived, but the expedition cannot wait any longer.
On the eve of Han Ji's expedition, he instructed Gu Song and Wu Dongping to turn back halfway after setting off, waiting for the remaining more than 1,000 people to assemble. The group that had arrived took their armor with the army first.
On the fifth day of the fourth month, the army set out at the sound of the trumpet.
Han Ji got up in the middle of the night, Shen Yan personally put on the drape for him, and smiled Yan Yan before going out, but when he went out here, he was like losing his soul. In the end, he couldn't help it, pulled Xiao Aiyu and rushed to the city gate by car, saw him go out with his own eyes, and silently shed tears on his face, watching the army all go out of Beijing, and then returned again.
Their sister-in-law and Xin Yi were left in the house, and the twelve guards Li Taoxing and five people stayed behind to wait for Shen Yan's dispatch, and He Qun took the other five people to follow Han Ji. Hua Shi and Shen Mi originally asked them to wait for Gu Song and Wu Dongping to return and gather all the 3,000 men and horses, and then move to the Shen family with Xin Yi and Xiao Aiyu until Han Ji returned triumphantly.
Mrs. Hua told Fahrenheit the news immediately after Xiao Aiyu's visit, and Fahrenheit also arrived at Xiao's house the next day, and they moved to Shen's house as well as Shen Guanyu's meaning.
But Shen Yan still declined her mother's kindness, if she didn't know that this sister was there, she would not hesitate to move back, but the Xiao family did not have Han Ji. Now that there is Xiao Aiyu and Xin Yi who has become their brother-in-law, then Shen Yan is not alone, she has to let Han Ji know that he is not at home, and the Xiao family is also lively and prosperous.
Xiao Aiyu thought about her, and originally advocated that she move back to her parents' house, but after listening to her, she didn't say anything more. In the end, her and Xin Yi's wedding was simply organized before Han Ji set off, the purpose was that Shen Yan felt that they were not too old and should have their own children. Since then, Xin Yi has become Xiao Aiyu's husband. Han Ji's brother-in-law who has not passed the door.
The Xiao family has them. It won't make Shen Yan have any mistakes.
There was no suspense about the rest of the matter, Gu Song turned back with Wu Dongping on the night of the army's departure and knocked on the door of the Xiao family, and within three or five days, all the three thousand people were already in place. Except for the two warriors who died for some reason. And even so. Their sons and daughters also arrived in the capital in their place with the bronze medals of the Dead Soldiers' Battalion.
Han Ji originally meant that it would be enough to use only the original 3,000 people, but they all insisted on taking their sons with them, so Gu Song and Wu Dongping regrouped. On the night of the tenth day of the first month of April, he assembled with these men outside the city and set out again.
As the days passed, the military reports at the border came one after another.
The peach blossoms in front of the door bloomed and failed, summer passed and autumn came, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival osmanthus was fragrant, Shen Yan's stomach was already like a small pillow hidden.
Xin Yi took advantage of the sunny sun to take her pulse in the yard. She asked him, "Is it a man or a woman?" Xiao Aiyu copied the account book from the side, and said slowly: "What does it matter if it is a man or a woman?" They are all children of our Xiao family. She said coquettishly: "I want to know earlier." Xiao Aiyu glanced at Xin Yi, Xin Yi withdrew her hand and said, "I agree with the lady's opinion." β
Shen Yan pulled down his face.
Xiao Aiyu laughed.
The life of waiting is not as tormenting as imagined, because there is new hope. The frequent war reports from the border pass also make people feel more and more at ease day by day, when Han Ji first went, he suffered two defeats in a row, Xue Zhu was wounded, Dong Chu was almost captured, Zhou Jun was listed for a truce for half a month, and Han Ji changed his name in the first battle of his comeback, and killed a Mongolian general with one shot.
The morale of the Zhou army was greatly shaken, and although they were not invincible, they also won less and lost more.
The 30,000 men and horses of the Mongolian army took four months, lost 3,000 men, and had two of the most effective generals and a vanguard under the command of the commander of the Mongolian army.
Every time Zhao Jun gets good news, he will copy a copy to the Xiao Mansion, and by the way, he will also send some rewards with different patterns.
Shen Yan often just reads the military newspapers, and as for what to reward, maybe the maid in the house knows better than her.
She also wrote a letter to Han Ji.
The content is very rarely serious, caring for him is often done by Xiao Aiyu, who is her sister and brother-in-law, and she either asks him about the customs of the northwest, or asks about the girl over there, or she talks about what she has done and eaten in the past few days, when Shen Chan got married, she went to the banquet, and was actually stretched out by seven or eight pairs of chopsticks at the same table at the same time, and it was strictly forbidden to eat hairy crabs.
The autumn wind blew through all corners of the Beijing Division, and also cooled the barracks at Yanmen Pass.
Han Ji read the letter, and a smile unconsciously welled up on his eyebrows.
Gu Song, Xue Zhu, and the generals drank and ate mutton next to them, and when they saw him like this, they asked him: "What did Aunt Yan say again?" β
He raised his lips and buttoned down the letterhead, took a bite on his big arm and said, "It's okay", Wang Jun snatched the letter and looked at it, and said loudly: "Ask if the girl who sent us the marshal a few days ago is very watery?" Did you send someone else's girl back? Everyone laughed, Han Ji waved over with his arm, Wang Ju hurriedly threw the letter to him, grabbed a pot of wine and ran away.
Xue Zhi raised his glass and stood up and said: "If the marshal wants to prove his innocence after returning to the court, he will have to invite us to a good meal at that time!" β
"That's it!" Dong slowly stood up: "Otherwise, we will tell Aunt Yan that the mother-in-law here in the northwest is so tender that she can earn water!" And every once in a while, he came to ask the marshal if he wanted to send wine! β
After coming out for a few months, the noble children in Beijing have become rough old men, and even Gu Song, who everyone calls an elegant and noble son, is a lot darker and thicker. The military camp is the most tempering people, and the expedition is the most able to promote a person's growth, in this land, in this big camp, the closest relationship is their brothers who were born and died.
Han Ji threw away the wine gourd and said: "If you want to eat well, what's so difficult, my son has been in the belly for five months, and when we return to Jingshi after the battle, it will almost be time to give birth, and you will prepare a pot gift for me one by one." When the time comes, what kind of Longquan sword and Yutian bow will be rewarded in the palace, I will look at it appropriately! β
"That's too calculating!" Xue stopped shouting, "No, no, no, where is the reason for us to suffer!" β
"Newspaperβ"
As he was eating, a soldier suddenly heard a report from outside the door: "Commander, the Mongolian leader Tutumu led a large army to raid our pass, and thirty-four soldiers defending the city have been killed, and General Ji ordered a small one to come to the news!" β
There was a sudden silence in the camp, and everyone looked at Han Ji in unison. (To be continued......)
