He Yuan was emotional, and his eyes were red. After He Dalang listened, he also felt thrilled, and was deeply glad for Wei: "It's good that the mother and son are safe!" Fortunately, there are three siblings! ”

He Yuan didn't say anything more and turned his head away.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.

He Dalang looked at He Yuan at this time, and he didn't feel it in his heart.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place.

"Big brother, I really regret it." He Yuan didn't look back, and his muttered voice was full of remorse and self-blame: "If I hadn't had ambitions for the position of the son, if I hadn't acquiesced in and connived at my mother's calculations of the third brother, if I ......"

There are so many ifs in the world.

People always have to pay for their ambitions and mistakes.

He Dalang glanced at He Yuan deeply, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, you should be glad that you still have a chance to repent and turn back." ”

He Yuan's whole body was shocked, and he finally turned around and looked at He Dalang.

He Dalang is not very handsome, and his appearance can be called decent. It's good, but it's not too good. Mild-mannered, slightly mediocre. Although he is the eldest grandson of the He family, he is far less outstanding than He Yuanhe Qi.

Because of this, he didn't look down on this lobby brother before.

Today, at this moment, he knows how clear his mind is for the gentle and generous lobby brother.

"Second brother, you ruined one eye and had an extra scar on your face." He Dalang said softly: "But you are still the second son of the Pingguo Mansion. ”

"Second Uncle brought you to the border and made you start as an ordinary soldier in the scout camp. You can be promoted by virtue of your exploits and continue to live with dignity. ”

"No one knows that you have tried to become the son of the world. No one knows that you assassinated your own cousin. No one will point fingers at you and say you deserve it. ”

"You have a good strict father, a tolerant uncle and grandmother, an infatuated wife, and now a son. You're so lucky, why are you still haunted by it, or can't you let it go completely? ”

This is the first time He Dalang has mentioned the family ugliness that he knows each other well in front of He Yuan.

The shame on He Yuan's face was even stronger, and he almost had no face to face He Dalang: "Big brother, don't say it again." I know wrong. When I was healed, I immediately returned to the barracks, led the troops into battle, and killed the enemy for meritorious service. ”

He Dalang stretched his brows and laughed: "That's good! This is what the second son of the He family looks like! After a pause, he said, "You drink the medicine, so you can rest!" I'll come back to see you when I'm free. ”

He Yuan was about to get up to send him off, but He Dalang hurriedly smiled and stopped: "You take care of your injuries, don't pay attention to these false courtesies." ”

After He Dalang left, He Yuan was silent for a long time.

The pain and darkness that tormented him day and night quietly dissipated. In its place, there is firmness and clarity after awakening.

……

After He Dalang got out of the camp tent of the wounded soldiers, he went to the military tent of the Duke of Pingguo.

In the military tent, the Duke of Ping Guo convened the generals in the army to discuss the war.

At the beginning, the Tatar cavalry attacked by surprise, and the border army suffered a lot of losses. Several battles were lost, with heavy casualties and low morale.

Fortunately, the imperial court reinforcements were timely, and the Marquis of Pingxi led 30,000 soldiers to come to replenish the troops, and quickly stabilized the war and the morale of the army.

Some time ago, General He fought a victory, and Pingxi Hou also led his troops to a small victory. The Great Chu border army recovered its disadvantage and its morale was high.

The Tatar cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and gradually retreated.

Next, it was to attack with all your might and completely subdue the Tatar cavalry. Or just repel the cavalry?

There are many generals in the army, each with their own words, and they have everything to say.

"Winter is coming, and the weather is cold, which is not conducive to marching and fighting. The Tatars want to retreat, and our soldiers of Dachu do not want to fight in this weather. According to the general, the next step is to repel the Tatar cavalry with all its might! ”

"General Meng is not right. After fighting for so long, there is no winner or loser, how can they be allowed to retreat when they say goodbye! After the cold winter, the spring was warm, and it was convenient for the army to march and fight, and they made a comeback. If this continues, when will there be peace? If you want me to say, you should continue to hold them back. ”

"You're talking lightly. To fight a war, you need swords and arrows, and you need food. The dead soldiers are to be given a pension. In order to fight this battle, the treasury is about to be emptied, and it has been increasing. If the fight continues, Da Chu will no longer have foreign enemies, and the people will be forced to death by taxes. ”

That's why we deserve a big win. The Tatar cavalry was completely defeated, and there would be no need to fight again in the next few years or more than ten years. That's the way to do it once and for all! ”

The generals in the army are all men who kill the enemy when they get on their horses and carry swords. The voices of each one are louder than the other, and the arguments are red-faced, and they do not give in to each other.

And one or two of them who are particularly hot-tempered, have already rolled up their sleeves and are about to start fighting!

Ping Guogong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's say a few words." How the battle is fought depends on the will sent by the imperial court and the emperor's wishes. What's the use of you arguing here? ”

"Let's all go back first!"

……

The generals retired and left. Only He Yan and Pingxihou remained.

The Chinese army's military tent is finally clean.

Ping Guogong's eyes were bloodshot, and the stubble on his chin was too late to take care of it. He Liao and Pingxihou are similar. Whoever has such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders will not be able to eat and sleep well.

Take Ping Guogong as an example, sleeping for two or three hours every night is not bad.

"Big brother," He Yan frowned and asked in a low voice, "What is the attitude of the imperial court now?" ”

After Pingxihou arrived at the border pass, he led an army of 30,000 alone. Listening to Ping Guogong's dispatch on weekdays, he also frowned at this time: "The treasury is empty, and the household department really can't squeeze out the silver." Liang Shangshu was bold to speak, but he was beaten with a court cane. In this way, no one dares to disagree with the emperor. ”

The news of the movements in the capital will only reach the ears of the border army after a period of time.

"It's just the left waiter of the household department, and it's not useful at all." Pingguo Gong is not in the capital all the year round, but he knows everything about the courtiers: "Liang Shangshu's injury is healed, and the emperor will definitely call him back to the court." ”

In fact, Emperor Xuanhe's attitude is already very clear.

This battle must not only be fought, but also won!

First outside, then inside.

This idea is certainly good, but it also puts a lot of pressure on the border army. Not only to win, but also to win quickly. If it takes two or three years to fight, Tatar will be defeated, and Dachu will also be dragged down by the war.

A hint of coldness flashed in He Li's eyes: "We still have two months of grain and grass right now. The Tatars are undersupplied and not at all as good as ours. That's when I retreated. ”

Pingxi Hou lowered his voice and made a bad move: "I will write a letter and ask the emperor to press the Tatar prince to the front of the battle and kill the sacrificial flag on the spot." First, it will boost the morale of our army, and second, it will blow the morale of the Tatars. ”

Ping Guogong: "......"
