Time is melodious, more than three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the three thousand soldiers have returned to Ju County, and they have successfully completed the task given to them by Su Bai! Sadly, however, only 2,970 people returned! Thirty killed!

If those bandits knew about this, they would be angry and jump out of the coffin! The total number of their groups is almost 2,000! You lost thirty people in battle and told me that you regret it?

Xue Rengui was a little ashamed when he came back, and he didn't even dare to come to see Su Bai, but his wife Liu was still in the Wushuang Marquis Mansion, so it wouldn't work if he didn't come! I can only bite the bullet to see Su Bai.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Wushuang Marquis Mansion, before he could speak, the guard at the door spoke first: "Captain Xue, the Hou Ye said that you will go directly to the study to find him after you come!" Xue Rengui's expression was bitter when he heard this, and he reluctantly followed the guard to the study.

After the guards took him to the study, he turned around and left, and Xue Rengui mustered up his courage at the door, and then pushed open the door of the study! As soon as he opened the door, he saw Su Bai holding a book in his hand, a cup of tea on the right, sitting on the Taishi chair and reading with half-squinted eyes.

Hearing that the door of the study was opened, Su Bai didn't even raise his head, seeing that Su Bai didn't speak, Xue Rengui didn't dare to speak, he gently closed the door, and didn't dare to sit down, just stood at the door of the study, as if he was about to run away at the slightest disturbance!

Su Bai almost laughed out loud when he saw this, but he still endured it and waited until half an hour had passed, and Su Bai felt that the time to dry him was about the same, so he coughed lightly. This cough frightened Xue Rengui a lot, his body was agitated, and when he saw Su Bai looking at him, he hurriedly said, "Master Hou, I was wrong!" ”

"Oh? Wrong? What's wrong? How did I not know? ”

Xue Rengui said with a bitter face: "This time, the bandits went to 3,000 people, and 30 people were killed, and these 30 people were all under my sword and shield battalion."

Su Bai stared at Xue Rengui with a smile and said: "Casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, you are not wrong", Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief, Su Bai smiled: "You might as well think about it now, how you should explain to the family of the thirty people who died in battle!" ”

Xue Rengui was stunned when he heard this, stretched out his finger and pointed to his nose and asked, "Explain?" Su Bai nodded as a matter of course and asked: "You brought the people to the battlefield, and now the people will never come back, why don't you tell their families?" ”

"But, but"

Xue Rengui wanted to say something, but when he saw Su Bai's gradually cold look, he closed his mouth decisively, and Su Bai looked at him and said, "What?" Don't want to go? Xue Rengui smiled bitterly: "It's just that I haven't figured out how to face their family yet."

"Then why didn't you do a good job of being a commander when you went to war! Why did Han Laohu bring two thousand people! Bring back 2,000 people completely! Why did you Xue Rengui bring a thousand people, but folded thirty people for me! ”

Su Bai's eyes were like knives, which made Xue Rengui feel uneasy.

He didn't even dare to look at Su Bai, Su Bai said, "You remember!" I know that as long as I go to the battlefield, there will be sacrifices! This is something that no one can avoid, and even many times we can only fill it with human lives in order to win! But Xue Li, I'll tell you! No matter what kind of battle it is! I hope you can make the plan more detailed and detailed, so that the battle damage is minimized! ”

After Su Bai finished speaking, he walked to Xue Rengui's side, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and let him look at him, and then said: "I asked you to go to those dead brothers' houses to report the news, just in the hope that you can always remember that feeling!" ”

After speaking, Su Bai walked out of the study directly, leaving Xue Rengui who was a little depressed.

Early the next morning, Xue Rengui first came to a peasant family in Wài Wéi, and this family was also the only soldier from Wài Wéi, who had died in battle. Xue Rengui only brought a few personal soldiers and two carriages, the first carriage had the ashes of the soldiers on it, and the back carriage had a pension on it.

Behind the door, the old man saw Xue Rengui from afar, and the old man actually turned around and walked into the courtyard directly, as if he was a little afraid of Xue Rengui. When Xue Rengui's carriage stopped in front of the old man's eyes, the old man's tears flowed down.

In fact, he already had a premonition in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it! The army has returned, if nothing happens to his son, even if he can't come back, he should bring a message to himself, right?

Xue Rengui felt that old Rén Liu's words were not tears, but knives that pierced his heart deeply. The old man looked at Xue Rengui with some trembling and asked, "This, this general, my family, my second dog?" ”

The old man had some expectations, although he had already guessed, but he preferred to believe that his son had just gone on a mission, and that the general had only come to tell him that his son would not come back in a short time.

Xue Rengui didn't know what to say, but the soldiers behind him took out Ergou's ashes. The old man only felt that it was dark in front of him, and his body fell backwards! Xue Rengui's eyes were quick, and he hugged the old man in his arms, and pinched the old man's middle among his hands.

The old man stood up tremblingly, his steps staggered a little, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "How did my second dog die?" ”

Xue Rengui lowered his head, not daring to look at the old man's eyes, and replied in a hoarse voice: "Go up the mountain to suppress bandits, and die from the chaotic blade!" When the old man heard this, he wiped the tears in his eyes with both hands, but how to wipe them clean.

Seeing this, Xue Rengui tore open his robe, and handed it to the old man to wipe his tears, but the old man was not polite, he took it and wiped his eyes and asked, "But died for the Hou Ye?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Have you ever been a deserter?"

"Nope!"

"Hahaha, that's good! That's good! The old man cried, but he wanted to smile as much as possible, he looked at Xue Rengui and said, "General, don't feel sorry for my second dog, how can there be immortals on the battlefield?" My second dog died for Master Hou! No loss! No loss! If it weren't for Master Hou, my family would have starved to death in a ravine long ago! No loss! No loss! ”

Xue Rengui looked at the old man in front of him who was pretending to be strong, tears came out of his eyes, and after Xue Rengui walked out of the door, he heard the old man's heart-rending cry. Several people who had not dared to come in at the door before stepped forward to comfort them.

These two dogs have three children in a family, he is the second, the eldest brother died in the famine, he died on the battlefield, and now the family is left with only the old father and the third child. The second child did not die in vain, his old father and younger brother had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Along the way, Xue Rengui's expression gradually became a little numb, and every time he sent out a columbarium, he felt as if he had destroyed their family with his own hands! This feeling made Xue Rengui, who had been farming before, never feel it.

Stress, responsibility, self-blame, and other emotions appear in his mind! Let him gradually become a little numb, this man's nerves are being challenged like never before!

Wait until they send the ashes, to the last one.

It was a somewhat remote mountain village, and by the time Xue Rengui and the others arrived here, it was already the afternoon of the third day, and the children in the village, looking at the pro-soldiers in armor, felt very strange, and looked at them from a distance.

A few of the more daring ones followed behind them, looking at them as if they had little stars in their eyes!

The carriage stopped in front of a dilapidated yard, which had not even been fenced, but was crudely nailed together with bamboo, which was considered a fence, and a woman came out of the house when she heard a noise outside.

The woman was very young, and she looked like she might not be twenty years old, and when she saw Xue Rengui and the others, she first asked with a happy face: "Everyone, you are all friends of Changlin, come, hurry, inside"

She didn't say the last word of invitation, because she found that she didn't see the figure she had been thinking about for a long time, but instead saw the guard behind her holding the small jar.

The woman pursed the corners of her mouth, and said in a somewhat trembling voice: "Is it my parent Lin Youxin coming back?" Hehe, ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute, I'll go boil some water and come out."

"Sister-in-law, don't bother!"

"No, no, no, don't bother, or Changlin will come back and talk about me again, you don't know, my patriarch Lin" The woman spoke, tears fell down, and she reached out and wiped it and was about to go into the house.

She had guessed, but she didn't want to admit it!

"Sister-in-law, don't bother, Brother Changlin can't come back" Xue Rengui's voice was very soft, but he was sure that the woman could hear it.

"No, no, no, he's definitely going to come back, he's going to come back, you're all asking him to come back and lie to me, you want to surprise me later, right? Changlin! Get the hell out of here! Stop playing! It's not fun at all! The woman's emotions were uncontrollable.

At this moment, the eyes of Xue Rengui and the soldiers behind him turned red again. Xue Rengui took the jar in the hands of the soldiers behind him, walked to the woman, handed it to her, and said, "This, this is Brother Changlin's."

The woman looked at the little jar with a look of resistance, but finally took it, hugged her arms and let herself cry.

The soldiers behind him took two silver cakes on the carriage, and Xue Rengui personally handed them to the woman and said: "You take this money, sister-in-law, now that the people are gone, you still have to live in the future, right?" The woman sat in place, the silver cake in her hand was numb in her hand, and she didn't cry anymore, but her tears kept flowing, as if she didn't feel anything, sitting on the ground, holding the urn of Changlin.

Xue Rengui sighed, and comforted him a few more words, along the way, he had seen too many such scenes, and the tears that should have been shed were almost gone, and now that he saw all this, he actually had a little bit of immunity.

The group turned to leave, but before they reached the entrance of the village, they heard the sound of gongs and drums, and then heard the villagers shouting: "Oh no, Mrs. Changlin has hanged herself!" Mrs. Changlin hanged herself! When Xue Rengui heard this, he jumped out of the carriage and ran back without his life.

When he ran back to the courtyard, he saw only a corpse, and an urn, and the two pieces of silver cakes were placed on the urn, which looked so mocking. Just these two small pieces of silver can be exchanged for the life of a big living person?

When Xue Rengui returned to Mantou Mountain, it was almost time, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Wang Lang, the chief butler of the Wushuang Hou Mansion, come out and say, "Captain Xue, the Hou Ye is waiting for you in the study."

Xue Rengui nodded numbly, followed Wang Lang to the study, and when he arrived at the study, after closing the door, he actually saw Su Bai eating.

Su Bai was holding an oversized bowl in his hand, which was fat and thin pork belly, and shiny white rice underneath. After seeing Xue Rengui come in, Su Bai asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Nope"

"Let's do it together?"

"Row"

Su Bai directly called Wang Lang and asked him to give Xue Rengui a share, while he continued to bow his head and eat the braised pork bowl, it didn't take long for Xue Rengui to come up, Wang Lang knew that Su Bai might not have enough to eat, and brought a large portion to Su Bai!

Su Bai gave him an appreciative look, it's not a loss that he has been with him for so long, he just understands himself!

After Wang Lang went out, only the sound of Su Bai and Xue Rengui eating was left in the room, Xue Rengui cried while eating, tears flowed down his cheeks into the rice bowl, and then let him stuff it into his mouth.

Su Bai glanced at him with some disgust, sat down next to him, and then continued to eat his own food.

Xue Rengui saw that Su Bai ignored him, wiped his tears, and continued to eat, but the tears were wiped more and more, and the more he wiped them, the more he wiped them, and finally even the snot came out! This is disgusting to Su Bai, Su Bai gently put down his rice bowl, sighed and said, "You sincerely don't want me to eat."

Xue Rengui continued to cry, and Su Bai sighed again and said, "Okay, okay, don't be like a girl, yes, you know how to cry, what's there to cry about?" ”

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye"

Xue Rengui cried and told Su Bai what happened today, and Su Bai looked at Xue Rengui and said, "You are too kind!" But I can't say anything about you, after all, in a way, we are a kind of people, but Xue Li, have you heard a word? It's called, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers! ”

Su Bai looked at Xue Rengui and said, "This time you are only thirty killed!" Let me tell you, this battle loss is not a loss at all, and when you normally arrive on the battlefield, you have to die dozens of times before you can fight! ”

After Su Bai finished speaking, he glanced at Xue Rengui, and saw that Xue Rengui's eyelids were swollen from crying, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny, Su Bai walked to his side and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "You, don't have any psychological pressure, this time I will let you go with you to send the ashes in person, I just want you to understand one thing, that is, the preciousness of human life!" I have high expectations for you and I want you to be my right-hand man! Then you will definitely lead troops to fight in the future, and you must become a qualified general! ”

Speaking of this, Su Bai smiled and said to Xue Rengui: "You did a good job this time, those soldiers did not sacrifice in vain, you exterminated the bandits, I don't know how many merchants and people passed by there in the future, and they will be saved from being killed!" ”

After Su Bai finished speaking, he patted Xue Rengui's shoulder lightly again, and then turned to leave, there are some things that you have to do to get out of it yourself, and all Su Bai can do is to guide one or two.
