Pei Yong said this, and his eldest brother and second brother all stood up.

Brother Pei Yong took the lead and said: "Third brother, you have just returned home from the conscription, how to go before your ass is hot, there is no need to argue, this time for military service, I will go!" ”

Brother Pei Yong said a word, and his inside-in-law on the side put the child down, and the cry of the child in the house sounded.

The sister-in-law scolded the child: "What are you crying about, don't you think the house is messy enough?" ”

Pei Yong's second sister-in-law stepped forward and said to Pei Yong: "Second brother, you have also seen how this family is doing, your second brother's health has not been very good, there are no tenants in the family, and there is less farm work. And in order to prepare the war horse for your last expedition, your second brother also sold the dowry I brought from my mother's family. ”

Listening to the complaints of the two sisters-in-law, Pei Yong just raised his hands to the two sisters-in-law and said: "Over the years, the two sisters-in-law have served their mothers and taken care of the family. So this time I want to join the army, but also to find an opportunity to get ahead. Therefore, eldest brother and second brother, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Second Brother Pei Yong stepped forward and hugged Pei Yong's shoulders and asked, "Third brother, do you really think so?" ”

Pei Yong nodded heavily and said: "Second brother, you have told me the story of Zhou Zhi before, and I think it is also, there is a saying that the prodigal son does not change his money, and I also want to follow Zhou's example." I won't take Pei Song away this time, eldest brother, don't think about it. Take care of your mother. ”

When the two brothers heard Pei Yong say this, they immediately shed tears.

"Third brother, take care!"

"Big brother and second brother. So do you. ”

After lunch that day, Pei Yong cleaned up. led the war horse, prepared the clothes and said goodbye to the bedridden mother, and the brother and family left home. Pei Yong walked in a hurry, and he didn't even stay overnight. Before leaving, the eldest brother and the second brother still stuffed Pei Yong with a bag full of copper coins, saying that they were in the army for backup. Pei Yong knew that his family was not in a good situation, and he almost burst into tears when he saw the copper coin.

Pei Yong led the war horse with the army to Pujin to cross the garrison, Pei Yong looked at the two cities of Pujin and Zhongyu in front of him, and Zhengxiong looked at the Yellow River. He didn't know that Li Tang temporarily switched from strategic offense to strategic defense after the defeat of the attack on Luoyang. Pujindu, which guarded the key point in the north of Chang'an, became the key place for the Tang army to deploy defenses.

"Chen Ah Si, out of the ranks!"

On the Luoyang school ground, there were more than a dozen soldiers wearing red jackets. The early morning sun shone on Chen Asi's face, illuminating his face that looked vicissitudes of life, but he was a little energetic.

Hearing Ying Yanglang's name, Chen Ah Si immediately took a big step forward, replied very forcefully, and stood in front of the team with his hands behind his back.

This series of exercises. It was all set by Li Chongjiu when he was in Huaihuang Town. Li Chongjiu believed that a soldier had the dignity of a soldier, and when he had armor on his body, he did not need to bow down even when he met the emperor. And Li Chongjiu also simplified a lot. Etiquette when a soldier meets a general.

Now Chen Ah Si was wearing the fiery red battle jacket of the Wu Wei Army, standing in front with his chest and back straight, his eyes looking straight ahead.

Standing in front of Chen Asi's Ying Yang Lang General. glanced at Chen Asi and said loudly to more than a dozen soldiers: "Chen Asi, the leader of the Wuwei Army, has been in the army for three years. Accumulated two merits and turned into a team leader. Because of this excellent performance of the attack on Jianghuai, His Majesty decided to grant you the rank of dismissal from the nine ranks. Lieutenant Lixin. ”

"Thank you." Chen Asi turned to the north, and after knocking heavily, his face was full of yellow dust.

"Get up!" Ying Yanglang looked at Chen Ah Si and said gently. Chen Asi stood up at this time, and the corners of his eyes were already moist.

Ying Yanglang was so excited when he saw Chen Asi, and said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this, this is what you deserve." ”

Chen Ah Si wiped a handful of tears, can he not be excited, although he is small, he is a loose official, and he can take a lifetime. For example, the brigade rate, the captain and even the Ying Yanglang general of the fifth grade, although they have Lumi, they are much more than the lieutenants of Lixin. But these are ministers, and once they retire or go to work in the future, they will have nothing to earn.

From Jiupin Lixin Lieutenant, in addition to the glory of his official position, the most important thing is that he can get 49 stone of rice a year, and now as the head of the team, he can only get 10 stone of rice.

Chen Ah Si wiped away his tears and said, "Ah Si, thank you Lang for cultivating, Your Majesty." ”

General Ying Yanglang smiled and patted Chen Ah Si and said: "You kid is really lucky, this time the army selected the general to go to the martial arts hall, and the general decided to promote you, this is a good opportunity, it's up to you." ”

Chen Asi was slightly stunned and said, "Talking about martial arts? ”

Ying Yanglang nodded and said, "Yes, Lecture Martial Hall, what a good opportunity, when you come back from Lecture Martial Hall, you will at least be the deputy of the team." ”

Chen Asi hesitated for a while, then stepped forward and said, "No, General Lang, after thinking about this time to kill the Tang Dynasty, a certain decided to retire from the army and not become a soldier." ”

Ying Yanglang lowered his face and said angrily: "How can this be, wouldn't you live up to my cultivation of you when you retired from the army." ”

Chen Asi lowered his head and said: "General Lang, you know so, so-and-so is actually afraid of death, I have been in the army in the past few years, and I have not made any contributions, but General Lang commanded you effectively, so I won the battle again and again." I thought about it, and I didn't want to be a soldier. I have joined the army before, and I have served in the government for three years, and I can ask the Eagle Yang Mansion to be discharged. I want to go back to Youjing, do a little business casually, and serve my blind old lady for the rest of my life. ”

General Ying Yanglang listened to Chen Asi's words, and was very angry, but when he heard Chen Asi say that he wanted to serve his blind old lady, his face eased.

Ying Yanglang General sighed: "Ah Si, I will know that you have always been a very loyal person, and you are extremely filial to your mother, so I don't have to say it. But although you have a reason for this, I can't agree to you, do you think that you now have forty-nine stone a year, and you can't invite anyone to serve your mother? Even if one day, you are gone, not to mention the pension money given to you by the court, it is your one-year salary, which is enough for your wife to grow old. ”

"Besides, you said that you don't know how to fight, I don't believe it, every time you go out to fight other groups, the men and horses of the brigade are damaged, as far as you are the commander of the group, but the team has not lost a single hair, not even a single war horse, I doubt that you are a deserter. Think about it again, even if you go back to Youjing, at most you will only be the chief, the party chief, is it interesting to be a squire? ”

Chen Asi fell into hesitation and struggle.

"There is one more thing, I haven't told you yet, your brother was seriously injured in the battle of crossing the river, and he was lucky to survive after being healed, but he didn't have a right leg, and now he has returned to his hometown in Youjing, and the hope of your Chen family is on you alone."
