Volume 1 In Time of Storm Chapter 17 Family Letters

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Xuanping and the demons had already fought four times outside the city of rest. In addition to the victory in the first battle, the next three were not ideal, but fortunately, the casualties were not too large.

In two months, Xuanping 170,000 soldiers and souls were at the border of the town, and the demon monarch also lost 220,000 people.

The war of attrition is not blindly unfortified, although the city of rest is indestructible, but once the demons launch a fierce attack, nearly 400,000 troops will attack the city together, even if Xuanping can hold it with his troops, it will be a tragic victory, and the precious cavalry and halberd warriors have also lost their due value. No ruler wants his subjects to be buried on the battlefield.

So taking the initiative is the best strategy, as time goes by, the number of battles in Xuanping will become less and less, and the demons will become more and more active, Xuanping may be able to afford it, and the demons are not easy to say, and the harsh environment is one of the important factors that limit the demons from waging war.

As the New Year approaches, the homesickness of Xuanping's soldiers is getting deeper and deeper, and no one wants to go home on Chinese New Year's Eve to reunite with their wives and children, say goodbye to the old year amid the sound of firecrackers, and welcome the new year in the fireworks day.

Yao Hong was a benevolent and enlightened monarch, and several of his generals were also soldiers and sensible people, who had been prepared for this war as early as the planning of the war, and the post station of the city of rest was available to everyone. There are still so many people in the post station, and Xuanping's strength can be seen.

So there was such a scene in the city of rest, from the king to the soldiers, all writing letters to those who missed themselves and those who missed them in the distance.

The 100 years of the reign of the Xuanping Dynasty were relatively the most stable and happiest years in the land of Shenzhou.

Because of this, Xuanping's education is extremely popular, and most of the people can read and write, and the four generations of Ming monarchs have pushed the civilization of the land of China to an unprecedented height.

"Wu Meng, the pen is about to be bitten by you, and you haven't figured it out yet? How handsome is your little daughter-in-law who hasn't passed through the door to make the "tigers" in our camp like this? The soldiers of a certain battalion teased at their comrades.

With his brows tightly locked, his chin supported in his left hand, and a brush in his mouth, Wu Meng, who looked to the northeast with a worried face, heard the teasing of the robe Ze, and did not respond, asking him Wu Meng and the demon cub to fight to the death is absolutely no problem, but if you write a letter, or write it to your beloved girl, it is really a little difficult.

After thinking about it for a long time, the brave and invincible man on the battlefield slowly wrote: "I don't know what to say, but I miss you very much." ”

After finishing writing, Wu Meng looked at it, nodded, and secretly kissed it twice on the letter paper while no one was paying attention, and then carefully put it in his arms with satisfaction, covered it with his hand, and went to the post station in the city of rest.

In a room in the Gangneung Army, Yang Xingwen was distracted for a long time in front of the table, this General Yang had not returned to Gyeongnam Province to accompany his family for four years, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility, not being in it, not knowing what it was like.

Yang Xingwen thought of his elderly parents, and he didn't know what happened to his mother's body, his father's waist must have been bent, and his wife's eyes should have a few more crow's feet.

"Unconsciously it has been four years apart, everything in the family needs you to manage, it has hurt you, your mother's illness still has to worry more about you, the crops will not be planted again, my father is old, you still have to take care of Ah Yong and my mother, in a few days it will be the New Year, buy a few more sets of new clothes for yourself and your family, your husband has now become a general, and the money is enough for our family to spend, and when we win this battle in Xuanping, the world is peaceful, I will go home, I am all fine in all this, don't worry, I wish to be well." The letter is very short, there is no flowery rhetoric, but the words are true, and the sentences are meaningful, and at the end, Yang Xingwen added three big words at the end: I love you.

Although only two months have passed since the expedition, he still can't help but think of his wife and youngest son, who have been fighting all his life, and his wife and children are gathering less and leaving more, the eldest son joined the army, but he was sent to Yao Changxing's deer army, and he didn't see much, he was worthy of the king and the people in his life, but he was only ashamed of their mother and son, hey, people like him, there are millions in this city of rest, and there are hundreds of thousands in the distance, However, the sacrifice of some people in this world is for the better life of the part of the people they care about.

"It's been more than two months since I left the imperial capital, and I miss you and Li Er very much. It should also be snowing in the imperial capital, you are not in good health, don't go out, just leave anything to the housekeeper and the maid to do, tell the little guy, I will be back soon, and bring him that sweet thing, Ning'er is also very good with Changxinghou, he has grown a lot taller, don't worry, take care of yourself, wait for me. Tao Jing folded the letter and put it in the envelope, a thick smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Shu Yue, Li Er, wait for me to go back, and never leave you again.

"Mother, the child is doing very well now, I didn't disobey to join the army, I did a little business here in Jiangnan, the business is not bad, Jiangnan is not cold, and after two years, the child has earned enough money here, so I will buy a big house for my mother, take you over to live, and then marry a daughter-in-law, and serve you together." A dark-skinned man said to the gentleman who wrote the letter on behalf of the station.

The gentleman who wrote the letter looked at the man in surprise and asked, "Why don't you tell your mother the truth?" ”

"She's old, I'm afraid she'll be worried."

"Plus, she's the mother of my dead comrade-in-arms." After speaking, the dark-skinned man walked out of the station, leaving the stunned gentleman at the table.

After leaving the post station, the man wiped his face vigorously, and whispered to himself in the direction of the stele forest: "Brother, I have done what you have explained, rest in peace!" ”

The city of rest is difficult to rest in, and it is difficult to rest in peace.

"Brother, I've avenged my father's revenge."

"Son, take good care of your brother, and when your father comes back, he will give you the big knife and teach you to ride a horse."

"Don't wait."

"The ten taels of silver that my brother owes you, go to your city lord's mansion to get it, and I have already informed you that he is dead and cannot return it to you with his own hands."

"Wait for Lao Tzu's good news at home, if Lao Tzu comes back, you will be a proper general's wife."

"If I don't come back, you can remarry, you're still young, don't delay yourself."

"Mother, the child is not filial, I wish there was an afterlife."

"Dad, mother, madam, I became a centurion, and I also killed a demon cub, it is estimated that it will not be long before I can return home."

"If you don't destroy the demons, you swear not to return home."

"Village chief, if I can't come back, you can keep the silver you have saved over the years, and ask someone to burn some paper money for my father and mother during the Qingming Festival, you are also old, pay more attention to your body and take care."

"Big nephew, remember, your father is a big hero, a big hero bigger than the sky."

"The demons are gone. When the child is still home. ”

"Lord of the city, I bother you to find someone to take my father to see a play again, he is now inconvenient for his legs and feet, and he can't go alone, this silver should be used as your reward, I don't know if I have a chance to go back."

"When I come back, will I marry you?"

"Dad, your son is out, see who dares to say that your son is a loser, all this silver I got in exchange for military merits, now I have become a commander, and when I go back after beating away the demon cub, I should be a battalion commander or something, amazing!"

"Take good care of Komatsu, even if you go to pick up dung, you are not allowed to let me join the army."

"Qian'er, during this time, we will entrust Xuanping to you, and discuss everything with a few adults."

"Xiaoyu, this is the pension and salary of Yangzi next door to you, all of them are handed over to you, don't tell his father, you take care of it more on weekdays."

The troubled times are stormy, how dare you be happy.

A dignified seven-foot man, he should guard the mountains and rivers.

Life is a bloody battle, and death is also blood-stained robes.

May you not hang on and don't think about it, and wait for me to return, okay?

On the day of my return, I will meet with Qing at Xiqiao.

Looking at the green mountains and green waters, there are no worries to worry about.

Live up to the lovesick song, holding the twilight dynasty. ”

"Don't go out of town in this life, or I won't be blind, I won't be blind."

"Don't discredit this knife."

"Mother, I miss you so much."

"This life, the next life!"

……………………

On this day, countless wagons with letters and parcels large and small set off from the city of Sabbath in all directions.

A few days later, a woman in Liaodong Province looked at the letter in her hand, excited, muttering immodest in her mouth, but the joy in her eyes could not be hidden.

In Jingnan Road, after receiving the letter, the Yang family, who was busy in the fields, hurriedly wiped the soil on his hands, trotted all the way to the post station, and replied: "Everything is fine at home, my mother's health is better, the crops are not planted, and the children are also very competitive and obedient, so don't bother, take care of yourself outside." ”

In the rebellion of the Hou Mansion, Shu Yue took the letter and said to the child in her arms: "See, Daddy has sent a letter, I want you to be obedient, Daddy and Brother will come back soon, will I bring you sugar gourd when the time comes?" ”

The little guy nodded as if he didn't understand, and smiled happily, it's good to see his father and brother, and the sweet things can not be eaten.

In a village in Lingbei Province, a blind old woman muttered to herself after hearing the post messenger read the letter: "It's good that you didn't join the army, it's good, Jiangnan is good, Jiangnan is good!" ”

When the messenger was gone, the old woman fell to the ground and wept aloud, she was the mother of her son, mother and son were of the same heart, her son, she knew best.

"I'll wait!"

"Why can't you give me back the money you borrowed from me?"

"It's not uncommon for me to be a general's wife, just come back alive, my wife doesn't want to use your pension to buy you a coffin."

"When you come back, I am your daughter-in-law, if you don't come back, I am a widow in your family."

"If you don't go, I have to wait for my son to come back and carry me to watch, otherwise I won't be able to watch no matter how good the show is."

"Waiting for you to come back."

"Haha, my son is out of breath, out of breath."

"When you return to the dynasty victoriously, will I wear red makeup?

The red rope knots the ends of the hair, and Coinland spent a good night.

Be with the son, and end up hand in hand. ”

"Continuation of the afterlife? Then let the afterlife come sooner! ”
