Chapter 1: The wind is heavy and the snow is heavy
In the cold winter, the north wind is howling, and the goose feathers and edelweiss are fluttering, covering the sky of the northern Xinjiang into a gray patch.
Lincheng, under Yao Qisheng's painstaking efforts, hundreds of thousands of refugees were finally settled, and the final result was that each household was drowning in every day, although they could not eat enough, but it was still very possible for these untouchables to keep their lives until the spring of next year, so that the situation of chaotic people fighting on the street disappeared, which made Ma Quan's Sentinel Division unload the burden on his shoulders.
Linyue Spring Restaurant, closed for several months of chatting place finally reopened in the cold winter snow, this evening, the snow drifted up again, Ma Quan, Yu Wu, the gang of sentry officers and grandfathers against the heavy snow turned in to drink a few cups, which can not only go to the cold to explore some gossip, but also to give the depressed months of mind relief three points, find some fun.
"The-like world has finally stopped!" Yu Wu scolded, stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, and filled a large bowl with it, accompanied by a throat 'gurgling' swallow, the happy appearance was really eye-catching.
With a sigh of relief, Yu Wu wiped his mouth and said to Ma Quan: "Captain, I don't know anything right now?" ”
Ma Quan raised his eyebrows, raised the wine bowl slightly, and Yu Wu continued: "Then Lin Xiu is just a weak captain, why are you so deliberately befriending him?" And take care of the family of those children? What are you going to do if he burps in the wilderness of the North, what are you going to do with his father? ”
"Ahem, cough, cough..."Yu Wu's words caused the brothers next to him to cough heavily, and the implication was to remind him to shut up, Rao is Yu Wu was drunk, and he didn't know the depth, but seeing that the horse was all smiling, a few sentry brothers could only smash their mouths, waiting for the short-sighted thing to continue to talk nonsense.
Ma Quan put down the wine bowl and said in a deep voice: "Do you think you have seen through Lin Xiu?" ”
With the strength of the wine, Yu Wu said stiffly: "It's almost zero, I have dealt with him a few times, this person's heart is not low, but he was born in business, and he has offended the official family several times. ”
In this regard, Ma Quan smiled and didn't say anything, and at this moment, a horse ran from the stone road in front of the restaurant, wading up thick snow chips, Ma Quan swept his eyes and got up, ran outside, and looked from afar, the cavalry put a three-color feather flag on his back, just like that, Ma Quan was already full of joy.
"Head, the cavalry... The three-color feather flag... Isn't the war in Northern Xinjiang over! ”
At this time, all the brothers under his command also rushed out to watch, Ma Quan smiled and said nothing, and only after a while did he look up at the sky, let the snowflakes and ice crystals fall on his cheeks, and let out a breath: "This dog's day war... It's finally over..."
Lincheng Metropolitan Mansion, there are several bluestone tile houses in the backyard, one of which is the residence of Lin Mao and his wife, at this moment, Lin Mao, a paralyzed man, is leaning on the bamboo chair with a blank face, so decadent and anxious.
"Old man, it's time to eat!"
In front of him, Zhang was waiting worriedly with a bowl of broth, and with the faint aroma wafting around, the yellow dog in the courtyard had already hooked his head and stood up, sticking out his tongue, as if he wanted to beg for food from his master.
At this moment, the double-layer paper door was pushed open with a 'click'.
"Sister, what's going on with the third brother these days? Don't eat much yet? The Yuan family came in with Lin Xiyue and Lin Huai'an, and when they saw the four brothers and sisters, Zhang put down the broth bowl and wiped the corners of his eyes: "Alas... The devil knows what evil the old man has fallen into..."
A few days ago, I learned from Zhang's mouth that Lin Mao had a nightmare, Lin Xiu died on the battlefield, and since then, this third brother wants to be stupid, oil and salt do not enter, firewood and rice do not smell, Thomas Mansion Ding is looking for a doctor, and people only give words for heart disease.
Facing the depression in the room, Lin Xiyue flashed her big eyes, and stepped forward to grab Zhang's arm: "Auntie, don't sigh, the eldest brother and my eldest brother will come back, I also dreamed last night that the eldest brother and the eldest brother won the battle, riding a high-headed horse, but it is mighty!" ”
Speaking of Lin Xiu and Lin Huaiping, Lin Huaian also came to the heart: "Auntie, the eldest brother is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he will definitely be able to be a general, you tell the third uncle, let him not worry!" ”
Although the words were kind, the Yuan family didn't want the two children to talk nonsense to stimulate the third brother and the two again, so he glared at the two, and the two could only shrink their necks and flash out the door to amuse the yellow dog.
"How long do you think this battle will have to go? Those barbarians, when the hell are they leaving... Let's show... What the hell is going on? ”
Cold, Lin Mao muttered again: "Xiu, why did you say that your life is so bitter, and you are involved in the place where your life is required... Oh my God, you said you tortured me like this... I've been a businessman all my life, and I've been greedy for small profits, but I've never done anything wrong..."
As he spoke, Lin Mao's eyes turned red, and at this moment, a family member of Mafu rushed in, looking at that face, as if his mother-in-law was happy.
"Old man of the Lin family, old man of the Lin family, don't be sad, good things are coming!"
Zhang and Yuan were both stunned: "It's a good thing... What's good? ”
"I said two old sisters-in-law, you are really confused, right now, what can be better than the end of the war? In other words, as soon as the war is over, won't your general's son return..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang and Yuan suddenly became excited: "It's finally over... It's finally over..."
Saying that, the two of them were about to cry with joy and joy, but they looked at the family Ding walked quickly to Lin Mao, picked up the broth bowl and handed it to Lin Mao: "Old man of the Lin family, your son entrusted the young master of my family to take care of it, and the young master entrusted me to give you a few families good food and drink, and now your general's son is coming back soon, you have to eat and have a ruddy face, otherwise your general's son will not have to skin me when he sees you like this?" Even if he doesn't peel it, we young masters of the horse mansion have to reprimand me, this plain sin, I don't want to bear it, you just said that you don't do bad things, just drink this broth! ”
Lin Mao's heart was enlightened, and he immediately picked up the soup bowl and drank it, which made the anxious Zhang on the side finally happy.
The camp of the three armies of the Emperor Xiaowu.
Geng Liao looked at the battle report, the corners of his mouth almost reached the sockets of his eyes, and on the side, Gu Kaizhi whispered: "General, why are you so happy?" ”
"Good, good, good!" A series of three words made Geng Liao's heart drip, and in a trance, he had already imagined the scene of his being awarded the title in the Jinluan Palace.
"This Wuzheng really didn't disappoint Benjun!" Putting down the battle report, Geng Liao said: "Come on, prepare horses, follow me out of the camp for fifty miles, and greet the brave soldiers under my command!" ”
