Some time ago, it was because he found that the southern Jiangsu country was strong, and he was afraid that this battle would not be easy to fight, so he didn't dare to eat at will, but he was afraid that the war would be tight later, and he couldn't estimate how long it would take to finish.

Secondly, because you always lose battles, you can't lift your spirits, let alone have this kung fu to eat.

But today, Bai Yan is a good wine and meat hospitality, everyone is tired, but today he won the battle, and he suddenly had an appetite, and he ate it a fragrant one.

However, they did not dare to drink too much wine, and there were many examples of the enemy sneaking up on the barracks, so they only licked a few licks and went outside to change shifts, and let their companions go in to eat.

For a time, the news that the Jiangcheng army had defeated the elephant herd spread throughout the nearby villages.

They have all heard of the elephant herd since the beginning of the war, but today they heard that it was won, and they also heard that the elephant herd was burned down by rats and elephants for a long time.

So everyone celebrated happily, and every family brought baskets of eggs, bacon, rice, salted fish, etc., and some families were so poor that they only sent some ordinary vegetables that they had grown.

However, Bai Yan led troops to fight outside, and eating outside was already casual, and sometimes there were people who dug wild vegetables and shaved voles, and this fresh green vegetable was undoubtedly rare. is a strong thanks, General Tongqi seems to have no main general, deputy general shelf, can make the people happy.

The calf looked at the food and was overjoyed, and said jokingly: "The rice of this sticky elephant herd has used our rations for half a year, and now the people around us will send it for half a year!" ”

General Qi laughed with his hands behind his back and said: "This is a good person and a good reward, and he doesn't pay attention to small things in everything!" ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and at this moment, the old man on the side hesitated and asked: "General-take the liberty of asking, where is the military master who helped us catch rats last time?" ”

The old man smiled honestly, rubbed his hands hesitantly and said, "The village is poor, the rat plague is poor, and many people's homes are in tatters.

The people of our village thanked him and asked me to thank him as an example. But the old man is dizzy, as if he can't see the military master in it, I don't know if he is there? ”

"The old man is polite." Bai Yan heard him ask this, and personally bowed to him, that is, he glanced at him in the middle of the banquet, and said strangely: "Huh? Where did Zhao Yiyang go? ”

The soldiers in the table looked at each other and didn't seem to know, but Xiao Niu stood up and said: "Yiyang has some personal matters, saying that he has a bad appetite, so he didn't come." Can you ask your subordinates to call him out? ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand nervously and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, if you are not there, how dare you call the general?" That sin, sin, sin! ”

Bai Yan didn't say much politeness when he heard him say this, but said to those individuals: "Since all the fathers and villagers are here, why don't you sit down together and eat and drink?" It just so happened to be a celebration for us. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and finally said in unison: "No, no." ”

One of the aunts still said: "We are here to deliver some food, where can we eat ourselves." ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! When the others heard this, they hurriedly responded and got up.

I only heard the old man stroke his beard and said with a smile: "We are all happy for the military masters, these vulgar things are the celebration gifts we sent, and I hope the general will not dislike them." Then he hesitated and said, "I also hope that the general will help the old general to thank him, and it is best to bring the gratitude of the whole village to the little military master." ”

Bai Yan nodded and said: "Since you uncles and aunts don't want to, I won't force it, the old man's things are all trivial things, I will definitely bring them." ”

When the old man heard this, he was immediately grateful and thanked, and after talking for a while, Bai Yan personally sent the village names out of the barracks in the future.

Then the army partners talked and laughed for a while in the banquet, and when the banquet was over, Bai Yan took some food and personally sent the soldiers to the tents.

When the curtain was opened, I saw Zhao Yiyang sitting on the couch, rummaging through a bunch of creeds in his hands, not knowing what he was looking at, and he didn't even notice that he had come in. Bai Yan walked behind him and glanced at it a few times, and saw that the creed was full of beautiful handwriting, thinking that maybe it was Da Huan'er.

He smiled in a low voice, and then said to him, "Ahem, what are you doing?" ”

Zhao Yiyang looked up and saw him when he heard the sound, only to see two tear stains on his face, and after finding out that it was Bai Yan, he hurriedly slapped two handfuls and said fiercely: "What are you doing secretly." ”

"Who's sneaking around?" When Bai Yan heard this, he slapped a free hand on his head and said, "Will you speak?" ”

Then he raised the plate in his hand and said, "You didn't come to today's celebration banquet, you have to have coarse tea and light rice for several days, if you don't eat, I'm worried that you won't go to the battlefield, so I'll get some for you." ”

"If you don't eat, you won't eat, I hate that I have to go to war, I won't come if I knew I wouldn't come!" He seemed to be whispering and complaining about something, but Bai Yan could hear it clearly.

He suddenly lowered his face and asked in disbelief, "You mean, you want to be a deserter?" ”

"Yes! What do you think! Or you'd tell me, when can we go back?! He didn't mean to hide it at all, he just yelled out so loudly, "I know that I have been here day and night, and I know that the southern country of Jiangsu is chasing us, so I might as well go home and accompany my wife!" ”

Bai Yan couldn't believe that he had such an idea, so he suppressed his temper and looked behind him, looked at those letters and pondered, and then asked, "Did Da Huan'er send you a letter?" ”

I saw Zhao Yiyang squeeze the letters in front of him tightly and said: "She wrote me ten letters, but she didn't dare to send them, for fear that I would miss her every time I collected the letters, so I only sent them to me at the end of the month." I regret it a little, I should have respected her at the time, we had only been married for a short time, how could we leave her? ”

This kind of mood is probably the first time Bai Yan has a concern in his heart, but when he is about to go on the expedition. He also had a time of marching, while missing the eldest princess in the distant capital, and even more missing her gentle township, and when he received the envelope, he was also sad, and he couldn't leave thousands of military horses, and he had to rush back to her side non-stop.

But he also remembered that the eldest princess's bold words and ambitions hoped that he would overcome obstacles. It is not to be by the woman's side is the achievement, but to put aside the love of children to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and finally win a big victory, and to be proud to hold the girl in his arms after returning to Beijing is the achievement.

But he also understands Zhao Yiyang's taste.
