Chapter 498: Who knows if the rich don't return home
The autumn rain is continuous, but the rain is not heavy.
On the official road, a group of knights came in a row, wearing robes and hats, guarding a black carriage in the middle.
"Stomp Pedal Pedal
A horse came from afar, and the knight saw the convoy in front of him and shouted.
"General Jia Mengguan Dong Ling has a major military situation to be transferred to the prince."
The Ouchi guards who were driving held the reins, and the knights stopped in the rain.
Su Ge took a look, and saw that the guards in black and red light armor were checking the identity of the knight, and after a while, the identity was checked and the man was released.
The knight came to Su Lu, clasped his fists and saluted, and then spoke:
"Ding Quan, the first brigade of the scout battalion, has seen the commander, this is an urgent report of the military situation that General Dong Ling ordered me to transmit in the starry night."
Su Ge stretched out his hand to take the emergency report, opened it and checked it, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so he transferred it to Su Lu.
After a moment, Su Lu burst out laughing.
"Okay, Su Ping and Li Kun fought a good battle."
"One battle to break the siege army of the Intens, and another battle to break the army of Luojiangfu."
"As for their impeachment of Roda for delaying the military plane, they are afraid of the war, and they are approved."
"Pass on my order, promote the two of them respectively, General Mingwei, and take charge of the military affairs in the south."
Su Ge's eyebrows were a little surprised, and he opened his mouth, but he still didn't speak, but when he handed the prepared document to Su Lu to look at, he lowered his voice and said:
"The two generals have no subordinates, the army has no main general, this battle is not easy to fight, Lord Wang."
Su Lu took the paperwork, checked it with a smile, used his own seal, handed it to the knight, and then said with a smile:
"Employing people is like using soldiers, Li Kun is insidious and cunning, Su Ping is very arrogant on the surface, but he is not weaker than others, the two of them can work together at the same level, if it is clear who will control whom, then this battle will be difficult to fight, but now, it is much easier to fight."
"Besides, the war in Jiamengguan is over, and Dong Ling is about to leave for Liangjiang."
"Since Liangjiang has won a big victory, then we don't need to go to Liangjiang again, find a place to rest in front of us, and leave when the rain stops."
The guards were all happy, and they were all wet when they walked like this, and everyone was uncomfortable and tight, and now they all wanted to rest on the hot kang.
After walking for a long time, they arrived at a post station, and the guards at the head showed the seal of the general, and the post man hurriedly took out a large set of keys and led the guards inside.
"This is an upper courtyard, the best courtyard of our Xinghuayi, the lower official just cleaned it today, please come in."
The courtyard was quite large, and a few guards went in and searched room by room, and after confirming that there was no problem, they came back and forth to Suge.
Su Ge looked at the small courtyard and reached out and threw out a piece of silver into Yicheng's arms.
"Okay, that's it, eat and hot water are ready, the general has come from afar to work hard, don't be lazy."
The Yicheng who received the silver smiled widely, and responded in a loud voice: "Don't worry, don't worry, your lordship, the lower officials must be ready." ”
Before leaving the courtyard, Yi Cheng instructed a few post guards who heard the movement and gathered over, "Be careful, this is the general's car, Niu Er will go to boil hot water, Dingshan and Letong, follow me to Wanhelou to ask for a table of wine and food." ”
The post is also capable, arranging things in an orderly manner, maintaining the operation of the post station, and making the post station seem less busy.
In the courtyard, Wang Xiaoliu looked at the sky in a daze, and the coat and hat on his body were not untied.
Su Lu stood under the porch and asked Wang Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu, I remember that Wang Si's hometown is in Shangshan, and this is Yongle, although it also belongs to Jiangzhou, it shouldn't be your hometown?" ”
Wang Xiaoliu's eyes were red, but the good man was squirming, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Lord Wang, the last general is Yongle people, I asked the post station guy just now, this place is only twenty miles away from the village where the last general lives." ”
"That's a good thing."
Su Lu commanded and said, "Su Ge, bring the defense map." ”
After a while, Su Ge brought the defense map, and Su Lu pointed to the map of Jiangzhou and asked: "We are now in Xinghuayi, just in this location, where is your boy's home?" ”
Wang Xiaoliu stretched out his hand and pointed upward: "It's here, Yaoshan Village." ”
Su Lu nodded, and instructed Su Lu to say: "Give Xiao Liu a hundred taels of silver and let him go home to visit his relatives, by the way, I remember that you brought a Yilu Captain Robe from the seventh grade, give it to Xiao Liu, let him wear it home." ”
"Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, who knows. Xiaoliu gave me a soldier, so I can't suffer this loss. ”
Su Ge glanced at Xiao Liu, and snorted in his nose: "Follow me, boy." ”
Xiao Liu can be a soldier by Su Lu's side for so long, so he naturally knows the severity, and he waved his hand again and again and said: "Don't want the last general, this armor can also scare the people in the village." ”
Su Ge pursed his lips, "I'm wearing broken armor, and I can't see the grade, who will give you face." ”
Although Xiao Liu wanted it in his heart, looking at Su Ge's appearance, he knew that she didn't like to give up her clothes to herself, so she had to insist on refusing.
Under Su Ge's arrangement, after dinner, Xiao Liu set off with two guards and went straight to Yaoshan Village.
Yi Cheng said goodbye to Xiao Liu, and said to Xiao Liu with a smile:
"General Wang, we are all fellow villagers, I'll remind you first, Yaoshan Village, the landlords and old wealth are arrogant, if you meet a scoundrel who doesn't know your identity, directly report my name Yao Wei, we still have a little thin face in Yongle, and some people have to give us some face."
Xiaoliu sat on the horse and said goodbye to Yicheng: "Xiaoliu, thank you, don't say goodbye." ”
The three of them galloped out of the post station, followed by Xiaoliu's personal guard Huzi said disdainfully.
"Sixth brother, we are the general's personal guard, the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, our prince is much more than the prime minister's official, we still have a medal in our body, and we still use his name as a poster."
Huzi's tone was full of sarcasm.
Xiao Liu didn't speak, and he didn't know if he would use Yao Wei's name, but the experience of being sent under the command of the prince told him that it was always good to leave a way back.
The three of them were very fast, and at midnight, they rushed to Yaoshan Village.
After entering the village, Xiao Liu held the horse's head and walked slowly, seeing the familiar adobe houses, the muddy loess roads, and the poplar trees beside the road, his eyes moistened at once.
The hometown is even more timid, and he doesn't dare to ask anyone.
Xiaoliu is in such a mood now, for fear that a voice will suddenly tell him that your father and mother have all died in the war, and your childhood sweetheart has also married another woman.
In front of the familiar courtyard gate, the chai door should have been changed, and it was a little different from when he left, in the yard, there were a few bunches of grapes hanging on the grape trellis, and it was still the appearance of his countless dreams.
Da Hei roared a few times through the chai door, and after being stopped, he recognized Xiao Liu, and began to shake his head and tail.
"Who?"
The old man Wang put on his clothes and held the lamp, pushed open the wooden door of the main house, and asked about the situation in the courtyard with a squeak.
"Daddy"
Xiao Liu turned over and dismounted, threw down the reins, pushed open the firewood door and entered the courtyard, kneeling down in front of the old man.
"Poof"
The oil lamp in the old man's hand fell to the ground, splashing a small puddle of rainwater.
"Little Liu!"
"Liuzi, you're back, Liuzi!"
The old man was so excited that he ignored the oil lamp on the ground, and his son, who was kneeling in the mud, shouted at the back room:
"it, we're back, we're back!"
Old man Wang's voice was quite choked.
The Queen Mother came out in a coarse cloth gown and hugged her six sons and wept bitterly.
"Son, you also know the news that Cuihua is getting married, are you here to see her for the last time? You're late, son. ”
The Queen Mother hugged Xiaoliu and cried bitterly.
