Liu Yuan still occasionally thinks of the night when Weiyuan chased the enemy, not only when he was sober.

Even though almost half a year had passed, he still dreamed of leading his elite cavalry into the enemy camp from time to time in his sleep.

Like a hungry wolf rushing into a flock of sheep, chasing after the enemy who did not dare to resist, stabbing his spear in their backs.

I don't know how many people's lives have been picked by the spear, and the blood condensed on the tip of the spear is so thick that it is like the whole person is soaked in a sea of blood.

Liu Yuan only felt that the killing had never been so wanton, and hundreds of people fled and were ruthlessly driven away by the army under his command.

Wu Yanzheng didn't know who killed him in the chaos, but blind Wu Qi's arm, Liu Yuan vaguely remembered that he had stepped on a horse and stepped on many fallen soldiers of the Tibetan army. The last time I saw the blind Wu Qi, the new Xizhou Thorn Shi who only had one arm left, was still glaring at him with his eyes.

That kind of look that dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak has always remained in Liu Yuan's memory, and he feels happy when he thinks about it.

The sound of Liu Yuanhun's house getting up woke Liu Yuan from his dream, and when he became half-asleep, he unconsciously remembered the day he was exiled to the land of Hehuang.

As the last rebel prisoners to be exiled to Hehuang, thousands of men, women, and children dragged their feet and made a long journey to finally reach their destination.

The weather was bad that day.

The rain was heavy, and Liu Yuan still remembers that he was covered in mud up and down, and everyone seemed to have crawled out of the mud. Even if the weather has warmed up and you are covered in dirt and rain, you are just as likely to get sick.

Everyone was nervous, but the Marginal Pacification Division at that time and the Xihe Economic Strategy Division now did a good job, and a mouthful of hot soup put everyone at ease.

They were settled in a camp-converted village just a mile outside the city of Longxi, surrounded by a high wall protecting the barracks, and looking up at the even taller walls of Longxi City. Liu Yuan knew that on the city wall, there was a pair of vigilant eyes. As long as their group of exiles are ready to make some trouble in the stockade and turn around, the cavalry in the city can block the entrance of the village.

But I endured it, but I was actually scared at both ends. The officials in Longxi City were also afraid that they would be forced to rebel again. The taxes to be paid are all according to the proper brand of village soldiers and archers. Thirty percent of the fields that have been divided have been cultivated, and the wheat seedlings in the fields are knee-high.

Because he was presiding over this matter, Han Gang, a small official, Liu Yuan was very familiar with him. And when Han Gang went to Xianyang City to recruit him before, Liu Yuan also met with him. looks very kind, because he saved the lives of thousands of people in the Guangrui Army, and he is in charge of medical treatment in the army, and his popularity is even better. Their group of rebels are almost going to set up an immortal tablet for him.

And Han Gang's father, Han Qianliu-Han Qianyi, the tuba used in officialdom, no one calls him that in private-Liu Yuan has also seen it several times. It's because they're a group of old soldiers who have mixed up in the army and don't know how to farm, and they can't clean up the things in the crops—they often have them when they are farmers, but they never have when they grow crops—Han Qianliu only took the officials of the Tuntian Institute every few days to instruct them on how to take care of the fields.

In the past, for the farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, Liu Yuan and the other military leaders would not look at them and disdain. But following behind Han Qianliu again and again, Liu Yuan also had to admit that the knowledge of farming is indeed not simple, and it is by no means a few pieces of loosening soil and sowing seeds, watering and fertilizing.

Probably because of Han Qianliu's kind personality, under his influence, others turned to Liu Yuan and their eyes, and they no longer looked at the eyes of traitors, spoke kindly, and no one regarded their clumsiness in farming as a joke.

But it is still very troublesome to work in person, and it is easier than earning a bite to eat.

Half-asleep and allowed God to fly out of the sky, a rooster crowed, and the roosters in the whole village crowed. Liu Yuan first covered his ears, turned over a few times, and saw that he couldn't stop the rooster from crowing into his ears, so he had to get up from the bed with a frown. I am accustomed to hearing the drums and trumpets in the camp, always getting up in the morning bell, being aroused by the noisy and sharp rooster crows, always having a belly full of anger, and even more inexplicably hairy.

Open the window edge and look at the sky outside, it is still dark and dreary. The sound of a rooster crowing came from the crack in the window, ravaging Liu Yuan's ears even more violently.

The Hun family, who was sleeping next to him, was probably busy in the kitchen now, and Liu Yuan put on his clothes and walked out of the door. One of the family's dawn roosters stood on the fence, crying and howling.

"Call a bird...... Stewed you today. Liu Yuan raised his foot and kicked out a stone at his feet as if he was angry, and flew out of the rooster by the tail.

The rooster, who was less than a year old, flew to another wooden stake, staring at Liu Yuan with his neck crooked.

"This flat-haired brute!"

Liu Yuan got out of bed very angrily, picked up another stone, and was about to throw it over when he raised his hand.

"Such an adult, what are you angry with chickens?" An old voice stopped Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Dad." ”

An old man in his sixties walked out of the west chamber, looked at his son, shook his head and sighed.

It turned out that Liu Yuan also had a concubine, plus two domestic servants, who were sent out of Lu after the accident, and followed him to Hehuang, and his parents, wives and children.

Liu Yuan was confused for a while, dragging down his family. But there are no complaints about this in the family, the Hun family is still gentle and virtuous, and the parents are also very optimistic and smiling. Unlike some brothers' families, because they were involved in exile, no one in the family was welcome, and their voices were three points quieter. There are even those who married a wives who made people feel uncomfortable, and they went to the yamen to be sentenced and divorced. Seeing them made Liu Yuan feel that he was really lucky.

It's the future of the two sons that is annoying. Liu Yuan didn't expect them to be able to join the army and become officials now. No matter how hard they tried to shed blood and sweat, no matter how much the court had decreed that their past sins would be offset with credit. But as the son of a traitor, even if he can join the army, it is only a share of death, at least until his grandchildren. But now he can go out and walk without worrying about being restrained, which makes Liu Yuan very satisfied.

"Daddy!" "Daddy!"

Just thinking about his son, the two boys also came out of the room in the east wing.

"Why did you get up so early?" Young people are snooze, and the two boys get up so early, Liu Yuan feels strange.

Liu Yuan's eldest son put on a posture: "Get up early to practice martial arts!" The gentleman in the school said that this is called smelling the chicken and dancing. Catch Ming'er to join the army, and then go into battle to earn a credit and come back. ”

"Earn a fart! If you want to fight hard, your father and I will fight. You first plant the land seriously, and then follow the gentleman to learn more words. Don't think about being an official in this life, it's almost the same as your son's generation. ”

Liu Yuan scolded twice, and the two boys went back to the room in frustration.

He was less than forty, and his two sons, one twelve and one fourteen, were not yet adults. The family affairs set in the old year were found for the boss to find merchants in Pizhou City, and now they are yellow. The second is the daughter of Liu Yuan's brother's family in the Guangrui Army, who is now in the same village, and the marriage contract is still there. It seems that in the future, the eldest daughter-in-law of his family can only be found in this village.

In a bad mood and eating something indiscriminately, Liu Yuan went out of the school field. Seeing the tall and thin back of the one in front of him who was also going to the school field, it was his current neighbor, Hu Qianli, the head of the Guangrui army in the past, Liu Yuan hurriedly stopped him, "Hu Si!" ”

Hu Qianli turned around when he heard this: "Commander Liu...... You woke up early today. ”

"I was dizzy by a plague chicken, I couldn't sleep, so I just got up."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the school grounds. The largest empty field in the village, called the barn field, is actually better, but the people in the village still habitually call it the school field. It is also a habit in the military camp in the past, when there is no need to order, a general like Liu Yuan will go to the school field after getting up, and he can't delay it for a day.

Walking on the school grounds, at this time it was already full of old and young soldiers. Each of them is wielding a weapon whirring, or simply practicing fists and kicks. Seeing Liu Yuan arrive, they each stepped forward to say hello, and some people were surprised why he could get up early, so Liu Yuan casually threw the responsibility on the Baoxiao chicken at home.

Walking to the corner where he was used to, he lit up a spear he brought with him, and shook his hands one by one, and dozens of spear flowers, such as pear blossoms and snow, fell around his body one after another.

Hu Qianli looked at it and sighed: "With Liu's command of your spear skills, in this area, you can be regarded as top-notch." If it weren't for a traitorous word, with the credit in Weiyuan, the boss would have earned his name a long time ago. ”

"Traitors have been all done, and they are still fighting for a fart name." Liu Yuan turned the spear in his hand twice more, bringing a whistling sound. Still very dissatisfied, "It's still not as good as Wu Duyu's iron gun." ”

"Wu Duyu is still there?" Hu Qianli looked left and right, leaned closer and lowered his voice: "They all say that the corpse is fake." ”

Drop the spear and lift a heavy axe from the side shelf. shook his hand twice, and the wind brought out frightened Hu Qianli into retreating a few steps. Liu Yuan said ruthlessly, "It doesn't matter if he's really fake, the kindness he received in the past has been paid off before." If he dares to appear before us again, he will count his head. ”

Hu Qianli saw that Liu Yuan's tone was fierce, and hurriedly opened the topic: "I heard that there is a big war coming soon, I don't know if Lu Dao will recruit us again." ”

"There is no call-up, what to do. With a call-up, then go into battle is. The heavy axe turned twice with his wrist, and the floating light swept up was like electricity, "You can't earn military merits, you can earn money from the Japanese bird, see who dares to deduct our bounty?!" Just like the battle fought in Weiyuan last year, they were rewarded with dozens of acres of land and more than a dozen pieces of silver, which is actually not bad. ”

Liu Yuan was talking to Hu Qianli when a cavalryman appeared outside the school grounds.

"Liu Baozheng is here?" The rider shouted to Liu Yuan, "On the orders of Han Jiyi, the secretary of the scripture strategy, recruit Baoding of Cheng'en Village to serve with the army!" ”
