Hearing Pang Yue's smile and ask, his daughter, the five-year-old girl Pang Yu, giggled and quickly hid behind her mother Liu Bing'er, and after a while, she had an idea, and hugged her three-year-old brother Pang Yang in front of her as a shield, and looked at her father with a naughty face: "Daddy!" It's you who don't count when you talk, you say that you will take me to ride a big horse after you finish memorizing and don't take me there, I won't be angry with you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNow I'm playing with my brother, you can't mess with me! Otherwise, my brother will not be happy! ”

Pang Yue couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not big, it's not small!" Liu Bing'er couldn't help laughing, knocked lightly on her daughter's little head, and then put the lychee she brought on the bamboo table next to Pang Yue, and glanced at Pang Yue complainingly, "You, did you teach your daughter like this?" Every day she either takes her to ride a horse or teaches her the art of war, and she is always not big or small, and she is not a father, I see how you will care when she grows up! ”

Pang Yue smiled and didn't speak, picked up a lychee, peeled it and sent it to his mouth.

Seeing that there was something to eat, Pang Yu hurriedly let go of his younger brother and came up to grab it, Pang Yang couldn't grab his sister, and he was about to cry with a pout. Seeing this, Pang Yu hurriedly stuffed a few lychees into his younger brother's hands, and Pang Yang didn't cry.

Pang Yue couldn't help but secretly sigh when he saw the scene in front of him, his own personality was really diametrically opposed. The daughter is eccentric, sometimes naughty and headaches, but the son seems very quiet, usually not very talkative, and is estimated to be an honest person when he grows up. It seems that God just reversed the personalities of the sisters and brothers.

A child is a child after all, Pang Yu peeled a few lychees and didn't want to eat them anymore, so he threw aside the loot he had just grabbed, and went to the tree over there to pick up a small stick and stab the ants to play. Pang Yang saw that his sister had gone over there, and he also followed behind and ran over with a giggle. Liu Bing'er hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the hands of the two children, wanting to pull them back. But Pang Yu was playing hard, and he refused to move anything. Liu Bing'er could only sigh, and after coming back, she didn't forget to say to Pang Yue: "It's all for you to get used to!"

Pang Yue laughed: "How can the tiger girl of the gate be too quiet?" Besides, I'm going to go out again soon, and for a long time to come, I won't be able to see her naughty. ”

Liu Bing'er sat down beside Pang Yue, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness on her face, and asked, "How long will you go on this expedition?"

"It's not good, if everything goes well, maybe I can come back for the New Year at the end of the year. If it doesn't go well, it's probably next year. Pang Yue glanced at his wife's expression and knew what she was still thinking, and comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, the current Ming is no longer the Ming of the past, the difference in strength between the enemy and us is not as great as before, and besides, I am under the protection of thousands of troops and horses, and I don't need to charge the battle in person, so there will be no danger." It's been hard for you all these years, and I wasn't by your side when Yu'er and Yang'er were born. You've been taking care of your two kids most of the time, and sometimes I feel guilty when I think about it. ”

Liu Bing'er pursed her lips and smiled, letting her husband grab her hand, her eyes full of happiness. At this moment, she seems to have returned to the time when she first met Pang Yue in Ganzhou many years ago. Over the years, they have gone through ups and downs hand in hand, and the couple have long been aware of it, and everything goes without saying. But when she thought that her husband would leave home again, Liu Bing'er couldn't help sighing: "Alas, I don't know when this world will be truly peaceful."

"Don't worry, by the time Yu'er and Yang'er grow up, the world will definitely be peaceful." Pang Yue said with a smile, and when he went to see his daughter and son again, the figures of the two little ones were already hidden in the depths of the bamboo forest, and only laughter came from time to time.

"Uncle Shi! Uncle Shi! Suddenly, Pang Yu's cheerful shout came from there.

Then a rough voice sounded: "Hahaha, Yu'er, Brother Yang, come, let Uncle Shi hug you!"

Pang Yue straightened up from the bamboo chair, and after a while, Shi Youliang walked over with the two children in his arms. Now there are only these old brothers who have been working hard and suffering together with Pang Yue for many years without reporting.

"Uncle Shi! What about Brother Xiaoyunzi? Why didn't he come with you? Before Pang Yue could speak, the little girl Pang Yu asked first.

Shi Youliang laughed: "What else do you say!" I only found out when I got home today that a few days ago in the school, you used a brush to draw a turtle on Xiao Yunzi's brother's face, causing him to cry and say that he would never go to school again. How dare he come to play with you now? ”

After finishing speaking, putting the two children on the ground, Shi Youliang saluted Pang Yue and his wife: "I've seen the handsome!" I've seen Madame! ”

Liu Bing'er knew that Shi Youliang must have come to talk to Pang Yue as soon as he came, so he took the hands of the two children and smiled at Shi Youliang: "Brother Shi, you guys talk first." It just so happened that a lot of lychees were just sent from Guangzhou yesterday, and they were all chilled, so I went and brought them over, and you brought them back to my sister-in-law and Brother Yun. ”

"Thank you, ma'am! Our little bunny loves this one the most. Shi Youliang said with a smile.

After Liu Bing'er left with the child, Pang Yue asked Shi Youliang to sit down and asked, "You just came back today?" ”

"Well, I just got off the boat in the morning, went home and had a lunch and went to Dashuai." Shi Youliang was not polite, and after sitting down, he picked up a few lychees from the small table and peeled them.

Shi Youliang is now the chief military officer of the first town, leading his troops to garrison Wuchang Mansion and Chengtian Mansion, which is the northern barrier for Huguang and even the entire Ming Dynasty. His intention today, Pang Yue can also guess eight or nine without leaving ten.

Since the end of last year, Emperor Longwu summoned Pang Yue and Wang Dongri to the capital Guilin to set the strategic goal of conquering Jiangsu, Zhejiang and recovering Nanjing, after several months of preparation by the governors of the left and right armies, the whole set of plans has been formed, and the soldiers, horses, grain and grass have basically been put in place. The time for sending troops has been tentatively set for the end of May, and the three armies can move together when Emperor Longwu's edict arrives. Last month, Pang Yue convened the general troops of all towns to hold a military meeting in Yuezhou, and preliminarily finalized various arrangements for the Eastern Crusade.

Because the area of Xiangyang Mansion north of Chengtianfu is now the forefront of the confrontation between the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are Wu Sangui's 40,000 or 50,000 troops eyeing each other, so in order to ensure the safety of the northern gateway and avoid the recurrence of the old incident of Kong Youde taking advantage of the situation to go south at the end of the fourth year of Longwu, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the first town of Chengtian and Wuchang cannot be moved. And Shi Youliang is the chief military officer of the first town, if this arrangement is followed, he will be absent from this expedition. At that time, after the military discussion, Shi Youliang didn't say anything, but he looked a little lost. Now that the soldiers and horses from all walks of life have been assembled one after another, he returned to Yuezhou from Wuchang at this time, obviously having a new decision.

"Zhou Ming, your intention today, don't say I can know a rough ......"

"It's good that the handsome man knows!" Without waiting for Pang Yue to finish speaking, Shi Youliang interrupted him, threw down the lychee shell in his hand, wiped his hands on his trouser leg, and said impatiently, "Take me with you this time." Don't say anything about the fact that the task of the first town is also very arduous, I only asked the commander to bring me, and I didn't ask the commander to bring all the first towns. Now whether it is governing the army or fighting, Chen He's kid is no worse than me by half a point. In my absence, First Town can also hold the northern gateway as impregnable. What's more, this time our army is going eastward, the main force of the Tartars will definitely gather in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Wu Sangui's grandson is a defeated general of our Zuofu army, so he can't afford to make many waves. ”

Pang Yue looked at Shi Youliang for a moment, smiled slightly, leaned back on the back of the chair and looked at the bamboo sea swaying above his head, and did not speak.

"Da Shuai ......" Seeing that Pang Yue didn't speak, Shi Youliang was a little anxious.

"Why do you have to go along? Tell me your reasoning. ”

"We don't say dark words, no matter if it's good or bad, we'll make it clear to the big boss here." Shi Youliang thought for a while and said, "Well, it's true that some of my selfish motives are doing the trick. The restoration of Nanjing shows such a face, I don't know if it can only happen once in hundreds of years. If I fall behind, won't I have to take regret medicine for the rest of my life? Well, since we arrived in Fujian in the first year of Longwu, and then went to Jiangxi and Huguang, it has been more than ten years since we left Jiangbei. I really want to go back to Luzhou again, and go back to the place where our brothers were stationed and fought together back then. Maybe the marshal will say that I can go back to see these places after they are restored in the future, but how can it be the same? Back then, we were chased away from those places like rabbits by the Tartars, and of course we have to return such a big shame now, and this is what the master should do. Otherwise, what's the point of picking up ready-made ones after the other brothers? In addition, I don't hide it from the marshal, when we broke through from Wuhu, the brothers who died in my thousand corps, I still remember their appearance, and I have always dreamed of them these days, although I can't hear what they say, but I also know that they must be looking forward to me going back to see them. I just thought, if I can follow the army to the east this time, I must go back to take a look at Wuhu, and say to them in the sky, I am back, Daming is back, Pang Shuai is back with us......"

In the end, this tower-like man had red eyes.

"What if I still don't agree?" Pang Yue still did not make a clear statement.

When Shi Youliang heard this, his tone was somewhat depressed: "If the handsome man really disagrees, then I can't help it." In the evening, I went back to Wuchang overnight to take care of our Zuofu army and guard the northern gateway. ”

"Zhou Ming, in fact, even if you don't come today, I will send someone to inform you to go back to Yuezhou." Pang Yue straightened up from the bamboo chair, looked at Shi Youliang and said seriously.

"The marshal wants to find me?"

"Of course, your thoughts are exactly what I have in mind. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that when we go back to Wuhu to pay tribute to Huang Shuai, Lao Zhang and Lao Lu are all there, just what's the matter with the lack of you Shi Da Man? ”

Shi Youliang was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he finally stood up and laughed: "Thank you, Dashuai!" Thank you, Dashuai! ”

"Don't get too happy. The First Town will not accompany the expedition this time, and if you want to join the Eastern Crusade Army, then I will not be able to arrange a position for you as a general soldier. ”

"It's okay, as long as I can go with the expedition, I really don't care if I am a general soldier or not. I can go back to the Guards Cavalry Battalion to do my old job, but if I can't do it, I can stand guard for the marshal in the Central Military Department. ”

"I'll talk about how I arrange you when the time comes. But I'm going to talk about my ugly things ahead, and if you don't control your bear temper when the time comes, I'll have to enforce the military law. ”

"Of course. Dashuai asked me to go east, and if I dared to look west, Dashuai would have my head cut off! Shi Youliang almost knelt on the ground and swore an oath.

Seeing him like this, Pang Yue couldn't help laughing.

Hearty laughter returned for a long time over the bamboo forest.
