Chapter 154: Letters from the Battlefield
On the night of November 26, 192, Ren Yi's army was stationed 20 miles below Yecheng.
Ren Yi's army pursued a policy of feeding the war with war, and the first thing he did when he arrived in a new place was to purchase rations from the local people.
Yuan Shao's forces were not popular in the hearts of the people of Jizhou, and the vast majority of the people were willing to sell grain to Ren Yijun at a reasonable price. Of course, some people who are loyal to Yuan Shao, Ren Yi will not reason with him, and he will just grab it.
Therefore, Ren Yijun did not run out of food during the campaign.
There will be a decisive battle with Yuan Shaojun tomorrow, and Ren Yi wants to say in his heart that there is no wave, it is impossible.
No matter how poor Yuan Shao is, he is also the famous fourth and third dukes, not a cat or a dog who is not a literate person. Moreover, the Bohai Gao clan is also a talented general, and the Gao clan and the Yuan clan have joined forces, and it is not so easy to deal with it.
Ren Yi had just closed the book of soldiers and was about to go to bed, when a herald announced outside the tent.
"Come in." Ren Yi said.
"Your Majesty, this letter is from the Empress Mother's handwriting." When the herald had finished speaking, he handed the letter up.
"You go down first." Ren Yi was silent on the surface, but he was very excited in his heart.
Promise. The herald hurriedly retreated.
Ren Yi grabbed the letter, hurriedly unfolded it, and read it word by word:
Your Majesty Husband Junzijian:
The husband has been fighting abroad for nearly 100 days, and there are no concubines around him to serve, can everything still be adapted?
After His Majesty set out on the expedition, the concubine was always looking forward to His Majesty's triumphant return as soon as possible.
The concubine's longing for His Majesty has never been severed. is like a poem made by an unknown scholar in the pre-Qin period: "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart." Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound? Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like March. ”
Your Majesty, do you know that Sister Luo Er and Zifu have your child.
On the third day of this month, Luo Er and her sister-in-law gave birth to a son and a daughter respectively in Luoyang Lanfeng Palace. They don't have names yet, and they are all waiting for their husbands to give them names.
There is also the matter of Zhen Meizi's family, and the concubines are trying their best to suppress it, so as not to let this matter be publicized before His Majesty's triumphant return.
Your Majesty, hurry up and return triumphantly, the concubines are waiting for you, during the Lantern Festival, take our little rabbit lanterns, go to the moat together, and make a wish for the next year's wishes. Your Majesty, you promised us.
The concubine has a thousand words, and she wants to say it to His Majesty, but she doesn't know where to put it down. Let the concubine be a couple, singing a song of lovesickness, and accompany His Majesty to sleep. Concubine, never forget the sweet time when you and I fell in love for the first time.
Concubine, Luo'er, son-in-law.
After Ren Yi finished reading the letter, a few tears flashed in his eyes.
Ren Yi said to himself: "Ai Concubine, I miss you very much, but I, this Lantern Festival, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my trust... ”
Ren Yi pulled over a piece of paper, picked up the pen and wrote: "Luo'er, Zifu, Mi'er, Qingqing is like meeting." I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise. I, after the crusade against Yuan, I have to go north to resist the aliens. This Lantern Festival, I am probably going to spend it on the battlefield.
My son, just a single name of the political word, the name is Ren Zheng, and the benevolence of the government is homophonic. I hope that if he has the opportunity in the future, when he inherits my inheritance, he will be able to be like his name, and he will be able to give mercy to the government and rest with the people.
Zheng'er, I won't add a knighthood, because I said that a man, the title depends on one's own ability, not on other people's charity. Even if he is the eldest son.
I'll put the ugly words first. Anyone who dares to compete for the throne at the expense of the country's social welfare, or by vicious means, as long as I am here, once I sit down, I will not be pardoned!
As for my daughter, since she was born in early winter, she has her mother's surname and her name Wei Yingdong. Yingdong, welcoming winter, Dong'er is the purest and most beautiful Hanmei this winter, her beauty can make the world lose color.
I have said that my daughter bears her mother's surname to commemorate the pure love that I and you have seen.
Dong'er, my precious daughter, crowned the eldest princess of Yile, is a member of the same product and has no real power. I hope that my little daughter can spend her life safely and happily.
When I said this, I was actually very uneasy in my heart. I really want to hug these two children with my own hands, my flesh and blood, but the war does not allow me to go back.
I still have a lot of heartfelt words, but my body can't stop shaking, and I won't be able to say them.
Okay, that's all I have to say, compared to the soldiers of the three armies, I am still lucky.
Husband, Ren Yizi wrote respectfully
After Ren Yi finished writing this letter, he felt heavy in his heart, feeling that there was a heavy hammer beating his heart.
"I am also a parent, and I have more worries in my heart."
Ren Yi muttered to himself as he rolled up the reply letter and put it in a box.
Ren Yi called the soldier just now over again, and instructed him to hand over this box to the queen of the two palaces no matter what.
The herald took the order, and then quickly disappeared into the night.
After the herald left, Ren Yi wanted to read the military book for a while, but found that as soon as he picked up the military book, his mind was full of children's smiling faces.
Ren Yi had no choice but to put down the military book, picked up the Xuanyuan sword, and came to Han Xin's camp.
Han Xin was reading at this time.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Han Xin hurriedly got up to greet him.
Ren Yi waved his hand and said, "Luo'er and Zifu gave birth to a pair of children for me, and I couldn't sleep happily." ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty."
"Good brother, don't make a noise about this matter for now, and wait until you finish beating Yuan Shao or even another race. By the way, how sure are you of the decisive battle with Yuan Shao tomorrow? ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Han Xin is already in his chest!"
"Well, that's good, Brother Han, I'm sleeping here with you, you go over and watch yours, don't worry about me."
After speaking, Ren Yi lay on the ground, and soon fell asleep.
