Chapter 5 Collecting Troops and Asking for the Future

Section 6: Letters

Yuan Mingxuan ran to the house out of breath, and was covered with sweat in the cold weather, and when he saw Liu Yunwei in the house, he shouted: "Little general, quickly pack up and take your cronies back to Sichuan!" Come on! Let's go! ”

Liu Yunwei didn't react for a while, and was about to ask what happened, but seeing Yuan Mingxuan anxious, he directly pointed at Lu Ying and the others and said, "Why are you still stunned?" Hurry up and mobilize the guards, pack your bags, and take the little general with you today, you won't be able to leave if it's late! ”

Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, and Wu Xing were all shocked when they saw Yuan Mingxuan's anxious appearance, looked at Liu Yunwei blankly, and then looked at Yuan Mingxuan, speechless for a while.

Liu Yunwei stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Mingxuan and asked, "Lord Yuan, what happened?" Even if you want me to go back to Sichuan, you have to tell me why, right? ”

Seeing this, Yuan Mingxuan was so anxious that he stomped his foot and said, "Okay! Good! Good! I said okay! ”

Yuan Mingxuan saw Liu Yunwei's posture of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, knowing that if he didn't say it clearly, Liu Yunwei would not leave. So he said: "I'll tell you from the beginning: since the beginning of the war, I have taken my subordinates around to find out the information of Jiannu, who knew that only a few days after the start of the war, the various armies of the imperial court were defeated one after another, and I had a premonition that something would happen to the old general. So, I personally took people to the East Route to inquire about the news of the old general, but before I could find the old general, I received the news of the defeat of the East Route Army and the martyrdom of the old general and the major general. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Mingxuan looked sad, and tears flowed uncontrollably. When Liu Yunwei and the others heard this, they thought of Liu Ling and Liu Zhao, who had been confined in the middle hall, and they were all sobbing for a while.

Yuan Mingxuan cleaned up his emotions, wiped his tears and continued: "After I received the news, I still took luck and continued to lead people to look for the old general and the young general, thinking that the bodies of the old general and the young general would be brought back at the worst loss. Who knew that after I found the battlefield of the old general's battle against Jiannu, I only saw the corpses of the soldiers of the East Route Army all over the mountains, but the old general and the young general were no longer alive or dead. ”

Liu Yunwei was very moved when he saw that Yuan Mingxuan was loyal to his grandfather, and when he already knew that the imperial court was defeated, he had to take a huge risk to collect the remains of his grandfather and father.

"Lord Yuan took such a big risk to collect the remains of his grandfather and father, Yun Wei is grateful." After speaking, Liu Yunwei was about to bow down.

Yuan Mingxuan hurriedly grabbed Liu Yunwei and said: "The little general must not be, although Mingxuan has the intention to welcome back the old general and the young general, he has not found it, and he is ashamed of the little general." ”

At this time, Lu Ying on the side said: "Lord Yuan doesn't have to blame himself, the remains of the old general and the young general, the eldest brother has already brought us back, and now they are enshrined in the middle hall." ”

"That's true!" Yuan Mingxuan hurriedly asked, and when he saw Liu Yunwei nodded, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "The sky has eyes!" The heavens have eyes! The old general and the young general can finally settle down! ”

Yuan Mingxuan couldn't help but burst into tears again, and finally stopped his tears, and asked how everyone welcomed back the bodies of the old general and the young general. When Liu Yunwei saw Yuan Mingxuan asking here, he suddenly became angry, and almost gritted his teeth and recounted it.

Yuan Mingxuan was furious after hearing this, and shouted: "The dignified Tiger General, how can you allow the Tartars to be so humiliated!" It's just, it's ......" like this for a while, Yuan Mingxuan couldn't find the right words to describe Jiannu's atrocities, and his face turned red.

Lu Ying, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, and Wu Xing hurriedly persuaded them, for fear that Yuan Mingxuan would be angry.

Liu Yunwei also took the beginning of the speech and asked, "By the way, Lord Yuan, you haven't told me what happened?" ”

Yuan Mingxuan patted his head when he heard this, and said, "I was angry when I patronized, and I almost missed a big event." At that time, I saw that the bodies of the old general and the young general could not be found, so I thought that they might have fallen into the hands of Jiannu. Because of the defeat of the Eastern Route Army, neither the old general nor the major general will flee in defeat, but will only die with all the soldiers. So I scattered my men to look for the traces of the march of the Jiannu army, and to see if there was a chance to find the bodies of the old general and the young general. ”

Everyone was moved when they heard this, they didn't expect this Yuan Mingxuan to be so loyal and brave, in order to welcome back the remains of the old general's father and son, he actually took the initiative to find the Jiannu army! Zhao Kaishan was even more amazed: "Lord Yuan, you are so daring!" ”

Yuan Mingxuan waved his hand and continued: "It didn't take long for me to find the location of the Jiannu army, so I led people to chase them all the way. Who would have thought, before I could catch up with the Jiannu army, I encountered Jiannu's scouts on the road. Fortunately, there were not many scouts in that group, and I was able to escape from the fierce battle, but there were only two people left, and it was too much to find the Jiannu army. Just when I was in a dilemma, two of my men and I found a corpse, the remains of a soldier of the Eastern Route Army, in the woods where we were resting. ”

Everyone came to their senses when they heard this, and they all looked at Yuan Mingxuan and waited anxiously for the following.

Yuan Mingxuan didn't pause, and continued: "I originally thought that I would bury that comrade with a good life, but who would have thought that I found a letter on the soldier's body, and when I picked it up, it turned out to be the old general's handwritten letter!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Liu Yunwei even grabbed Yuan Mingxuan and asked, "Where is Lord Yuan's letter?" ”

Yuan Mingxuan took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Yunwei, and said: "Since I was concerned about the old general at the time, I couldn't help but open it and read it, the little general is not strange." ”

Where can Liu Yunwei still take care of these details, waved his hand to signal Yuan Mingxuan not to take it to heart, and then took the letter and opened it and read it:

"Grandson Yunwei, see the words as faces:

Ever since the division of the army, my grandfather has been uneasy, and he expects that this battle should be more auspicious. However, since our generation is a general, we should repay the country with death at the time of this national disaster, regardless of the good fortune and misfortune of this war, we must move forward together, not greedy for life to survive, cowardly and find other ways, this is the bottom line of the Ming warriors!

However, if when the country is in calamity, in the face of a mortal situation and a defeated battle, everyone begs for death to preserve loyalty and righteousness, and spills blood for the full name, then when the country and the country will destroy the slaves again and regain the lost land, who will lead the army to go? Who takes revenge?

Thinking of this, my grandfather arranged for you to lead the army after the break, not to show favoritism, let alone to ask you to retreat from the battle. Instead, I thought that if the Warring States Dynasty was defeated, my grandfather would want you to hide the pain of losing your relatives in your heart and remember the shame of defeat in your mind. Accumulate strength in the days to come, so that one day you can lead the army of the country, the Han family, and the northern expedition to Jiannu again, so as to shame the snow country and avenge the hatred of the family!

Once this battle is defeated, the situation in Liaodong will inevitably be completely eroded, the land of Liaodong will inevitably turn into a beacon battlefield, and the people of Liaodong will inevitably become slaves of Jiannu. And the best outcome of the Liaodong defenders is only barely supporting, and it is almost impossible to increase the strength of the army and fight Jiannu again.

What's more, my grandfather knew very well the personality of Yang Hao, who was narrow-minded and jealous, and would definitely try his best to shirk his responsibilities to protect himself after the war. So Ah Yunwei, go back to Sichuan, return to Sichuan not only to take care of your mother, but also to have the opportunity to take charge of the old Sichuan army and accumulate strength. When one day he goes north to Sichuan and fights Jiannu again, his grandfather will have no regrets even if he dies! “

Liu Yunwei was already crying bitterly when he finished reading the letter, Yuan Mingxuan watched silently from the side, and when Liu Yunwei calmed down a little, he said: "Little general, what the old general said in the letter is very reasonable, you better go back to Sichuan." On the way back to Liaoyang, I received news that Yang Hao had blocked Shenyang City, and it would be too late for him to make any stumbling blockades. ”

Liu Yunwei shook his head and said firmly: "If I leave like this, wouldn't I be a coward?" What kind of face do I have to face the whole army? What face did you have to face the spirits of your grandfather and father in heaven? ”

Yuan Mingxuan also shook his head, and tried to persuade him again, but was stopped by Liu Yunwei waving his hand.

"Lord Yuan, I understand that you are for my good, but now I can't leave, if I leave like this, I will live in regret for the rest of my life!"

Seeing Liu Yunwei's resolute attitude, Yuan Mingxuan sighed helplessly, and said: "Even if you don't leave, you have to write to the court to explain the situation, and you can't let that Yang Hao talk to himself." “

Liu Yunwei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yuan, I have already instructed Lu Ying to write it, and I will send it out after I finish writing." ”

"That's good, that's good." After speaking, Yuan Mingxuan inadvertently gave Lu Ying a look, and then said, "Little general, I want to pay homage to the old general and the young general." ”

Liu Yunwei nodded and was about to speak, but Lu Ying said quietly: "Big brother, I'll take Lord Yuan over." ”

Liu Yunwei didn't think much about it, and said, "Okay."

After Yuan Mingxuan and Lu Ying came out, they walked towards the middle hall for a while, and when they saw that there was no one on the left and right, the two flashed into a side room.

Yuan Mingxuan looked around and closed the door, and said to Lu Ying: "General Lu, you also heard what the old general said in the letter just now, do you think the little general should stay in Liaodong to continue to support, or should he return to Sichuan and start all over again?" ”

Lu Ying was silent, his sword eyebrows wrinkled into a pimple, and he secretly said in his heart: "If I want to say that I have the original intention, I definitely want my eldest brother to stay in Liaodong and lead everyone to continue the bloody battle with Jiannu; But now there are only more than 2,000 people left in the Hanwei battalion, and it is difficult to make great achievements in a short period of time, and the combat strength of the rest of the battalion is negligible. Will Kennu give us time to develop our strength? If you can't resist the slaves, and finally end up defeated and killed, how will you take revenge in the future? How shameful? ”

Thinking of this, Lu Ying said: "Back to Sichuan, only when you go back to Sichuan can you have a chance to make a comeback, and only when you make a comeback can you take revenge!" ”

Yuan Mingxuan said: "General Lu is right, but the little general is reluctant to go back to Sichuan, what do you say?" ”

Lu Ying looked at Yuan Mingxuan and said, "Presumably Lord Yuan already has a way, why don't you come and hear it?" ”

Yuan Mingxuan smiled and said, "Isn't the little general going to write to the imperial court?" As long as General Lu mentions in the book that after the bloody battle of Jiannu in the Hanwei Battalion, he already suffered heavy casualties and was unable to fight again. In this way, I will take care of the rest, and I will personally send the letter to Jingshi. ”

Lu Ying said bluntly: "No problem. ”
