Zhang Xiaowu finished eating the soup cakes, and finally regained some strength, he rubbed his arm and asked, "Old man, why did you take care of me?" ”

Shao Zifu said with a smile: "It's not that I have won your light, and now I have won two consecutive victories and become the captain of the army, your subordinate." ”

Zhang Xiaowuqi said: "The army is full? ”

"Yes, yes."

"How much?"

"Do you want to ask how many people there are in the Yi Word Battalion?"

"Yes."

"Count you and me, both."

Zhang Xiaowu almost fell to the ground, and then couldn't help but pat the kang and laugh: "It turns out that the pawn army is just the two of us? I only have one subordinate like you? ”

"Yes, it's only your father-in-law, how can you command." Shao Zifu said with a grin.

Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "I order you to hurry home and give birth to a baby, otherwise she will be eighteen when I am eighty, okay, I will marry the front foot into the door, and the back foot will repair the grave for me." ”

"You—" Shao Zifu laughed and scolded.

The old woman next to them was about fifty years old, with a wrinkled back, wrinkled face, and silver hair. The old woman packed up her dishes and turned around and walked out, but when she was at the door, she turned around and asked, "Two generals, tell the truth to the old woman, can the reinforcements from the imperial court still come?" Let's still be saved? ”

Shao Zifu didn't know how to answer, he didn't know the answer himself, Zhang Xiaowu said bluntly: "Mother-in-law, we are soldiers, and we should die on the battlefield." But you are not a sergeant, if you have a way to get out of the city, go out of the city, now the earth city has become a dead city, and the only way to stay here is to wait for death. Reinforcements may or may not arrive, and even by the time reinforcements arrive, the city may have been broken. That dog Yi has suffered countless deaths and injuries here, and he will inevitably slaughter the city to vent his anger, and if you don't leave, you will also die. ”

Shao Zifu's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Wu, you-what nonsense." If such a major military event spreads and people say that you are spreading rumors and messing up the army, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it, and if the general is angry, I am afraid that you will not be able to survive. ”

Zhang Xiaowu didn't care: "I'll tell you the truth, there is no need to hide anything at this moment, the prince must be dragged by us to hold the Wuhuan people, and he will lead the main force of the Qinglong Army and the main force of Wuhuan to fight in Yashan." Therefore, unless the decisive battle of Raven Mountain has been won, otherwise the reinforcements will never come. We have become the abandoned sons of the crown prince, and Tucheng has also become the bait he gave to Inuyi. You and I have to die here, what difference does it make if I die as a pawn or as a lieutenant? ”

Shao Zifu's hands trembled unconsciously.

The old woman was surprisingly calm, without the slightest hint of fear, and just asked, "Does the little general also want to leave the city?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "I can't go, and I don't dare to go, the 27th Regiment has to order to stay and hold Tucheng, and here we can still help the Qinglong Army drag the Inuyi I." If the 27th Regiment evacuates without the Prince's order, it will be the responsibility of abandoning the land, and the whole family should be involved. Although I am alone and have no family, we will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and we will be reviled and abandoned by future generations after generations. ”

Shao Zifu also calmed down and said bitterly: "The army defending the land has the heart to leave the post without permission. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said again: "Mother-in-law, you can run away." ”

The old woman took a long breath, shook her head, and said: "My uncle died in Tucheng, and the four sons also died in Tucheng, this Tucheng is where my Yin family is buried, that is, the city is broken, and the old woman will also die in Tucheng. She suddenly smiled and said, "I wonder if I can inquire about the marriage of the two adults?" ”

Shao Zifu said: "My home is in Shouzhou, and I already have a wife and young sons. Then he smiled and asked, "Could it be that my mother-in-law has a daughter who has not yet married someone?" ”

The old woman nodded and said: "Don't hide it, my hometown is Xia County, Jiangzhou, thirty years ago, the emperor reclaimed the border and immigrated, ten households drew one, and my wife unfortunately won the lottery, so they came to this cold and bitter place in the north with all their belongings. There is a custom in my hometown of Xia County, if any daughter dies before marriage, she will be bullied by ghosts and wild ghosts. If there is a family that has been married, there will be a husband's family to rely on, and after death, he will not be a lonely ghost or a wild ghost, and he will not be bullied by a wild ghost. Therefore, if a daughter is born in our hometown, we make a marriage contract with someone as early as possible. The poor old woman now has a granddaughter, who is fourteen years old and has not yet married anyone, and I am afraid that after the death of my family, she will be bullied by wild ghosts in the underworld because she has no husband to rely on. The old woman said helplessly: "How can there be a man in the city who has not yet married, so if the adults can pity the old woman......"

Shao Zifu patted his thigh and said, "Okay, my younger brother is only eighteen and is not yet married, but I can help you." Zhang Xiaowu immediately said: "Wu Chang, I just woke up, and my teeth haven't been brushed yet—besides, I still have to wait for your daughter to be born." Shao Zifu kicked over and scolded with a smile: "When my daughter is born and grows up, you will become a bad old man, and my daughter will not be allowed to give you this old man." Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, you can be regarded as doing a good deed, and you have picked up a daughter-in-law for nothing. ”

The old woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed and pleaded: "I hope that the little general will be fulfilled." ”

Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, please get up, it's not that I don't help your granddaughter, it's just that I don't know when I will die in battle, and your granddaughter will become a widow, why bother?" ”

Shao Zifu said with a smile: "What is a widow, if you marry today, you are not a widow." ”

Zhang Xiaowu glanced at him: "Nonsense, how can there be a reason to wake up in the morning and marry a wife?" I'm a soldier, and I'm marrying a relative in battle, isn't it a violation of military regulations? ”

"There is no restriction on marrying a wife in the military regulations, and the official also agreed." Outside the door, the military candidate Ding Yi smiled and led people in, several people hurriedly got up and saluted, Zhang Xiaowu moved a little and his whole body was sore, how could it be so easy to recover after losing his strength. Thanks to his strong body, he grinned in pain and staggered down the earthen kang.

Ding Yi stepped forward and pressed him back, and said with a smile: "You kid, yesterday the general also said that if he had a daughter, he would definitely marry a young hero like you, but I didn't expect you to get married today, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Captain Luo Zhen also stepped forward to congratulate him and said: "This file is the biggest happy event in our Yizi camp, Captain Zhang, when are the happy events going to be held?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu couldn't cry or laugh, so he wanted to explain, but Ding Yi didn't let him explain, and ordered: "Do it now, do it today, it's still early, just prepare and do it." Luo Zhen, go outside to find a private house with no one to make a wedding room, prepare some dowry, invite a matchmaker, and get married in the afternoon. I have handed over this matter to you, and I will do it beautifully, and the captain of our Yizi battalion must marry him, so that everyone can see it. ”

Luo Zhen arched his hand and said, "Well, this matter is handed over to me." After that, he winked at Zhang Xiaowu narrowly, which means that your kid picked up the bargain, so he turned around and laughed.

The old woman was very excited and said, "With the general in charge, the old man has no regrets." ”

Zhang Xiaowu was dumbfounded, and said in his heart: No-can you listen to the thoughts of the parties, I haven't agreed yet, why did you even give me the wedding room?

Ding Yi laughed and sat aside, patted Zhang Xiaowu on the back, almost vomited blood on him, stroked his beard and said: "Okay, you kid doesn't have a high hall, I am a lot older than you, and I am your official, so I will temporarily replace you in the high hall." Hahaha, my toddler is only sixteen, and he hasn't made a high hall for him to see him get married, but I made a high hall for you first. Everyone saw Ding Yi's reluctance and helplessness, afraid that he also knew that he didn't have long to live, so he could only laugh in agreement, but all the soldiers had their own hearts, and this smile was bitter and abnormal.

After Luo Zhen went out, he immediately announced the "good news" to the Yizi battalion, and now there are only more than 800 people in the Yizi battalion, and most of them are wounded, and their morale is not high, but when they learn that Zhang Xiaowu was forcibly allowed to marry, they can't help laughing. The war is in full swing, and the captain of the "Divine Marksman" actually wants to marry a local girl, which is somewhat unexpected. Thanks to Zhang Xiaowu's good popularity on weekdays, coupled with his young age and brave combat, he has saved a lot of robes these days, so instead of criticizing, everyone clamored and said that they would make this wedding a vigorous one.

Xu is this wedding, it is the last wedding in Tucheng, this happy event, but also the last happy event in Tucheng, after the old woman of the Yin family brought the news home, the surrounding neighbors immediately gathered up.
