Chapter 226: War on the Border

After breakfast, Li Yue was planning to go to Xiaoyao Tower with Li Yun to have a look, but Zhang Yan didn't want to come over, saying that today the county commander wanted to personally set up a memorial inscription for those dead brothers to commemorate them, and reward them for military merits.

Thinking of those dead brothers, Li Yun and Li Yue were in a heavy mood, they were brothers who fought side by side with them and died, of course they had to go and see it, Li Yue also asked Li Yun to call Li Zhong, who didn't know what he was doing, and the three of them followed Zhang Yan out of the county and went directly outside the city.

The memorial inscription was repaired on a hill not far from the city, and at this time, there were still many people holding paper money wreaths in their hands and going up to the mountain with a heavy face, Li Yue asked suspiciously, "Are the people of Linzi County also going?" ”

Zhang Yan, who listened to it, explained on the side, "These are the family members and relatives of those dead brothers. ”

Li Yue couldn't help but sigh, yes, in addition to their relatives and friends, there are also those living comrades-in-arms, who will be sentimental for their sacrifice, how many other people will remember their sacrifice?

A few people followed the team to the mountain, and saw that there were already many people around there, and at this time, the county commander was standing in front of the inscription, reading the exploits of these dead soldiers, Zhang Yan took a few people to stand behind Zhao Zhutou, listened quietly, and then followed everyone to the dead brothers in front of the inscription to drink wine and worship, and went forward one by one to offer incense.

After it was over, it was Lord Huang who rewarded the military merits for those dead brothers, comforted and comforted the families of those dead brothers, and listened to those rewards, most of those family members were not happy because of the rewards, but many of them couldn't help crying, because those rewards reminded them again that their relatives were gone.

After the memorial service, when going down the mountain, Lord Huang called Li Yun and Li Yue to go down the mountain with him, and after going down the mountain, he let the two of them get into Lord Huang's carriage together.

When the carriage began to move, Huang Dacai spoke, "This official has heard Zhao Zhutou tell Adjutant Liu that it is the strategy and idea of the two of them to successfully eliminate so many Xianbei cavalry, and this official is here to thank you two for all the people of Linzi County." After speaking, he clasped his fists and made a wave at the two of them.

Li Yun and Li Yue hurriedly returned the salute to Lord Huang, and Li Yun opened his mouth and said, "You're welcome. ”

Li Yue listened to Li Yun's answer, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, it was really polite, Li Yue said with a smile, "We are also the people of Linzi County, and if we can do a little bit, that's what we should do, Lord Huang doesn't have to be like this." ”

Master Huang said with a smile, "Mrs. Li said it well, this is not the first time that this official has seen Mrs. Li, at that time, I felt that Mrs. Li's bearing was not comparable to ordinary people, and now it seems that this official is really not wrong." ”

Li Yue smiled and said modestly, "My lord praised it falsely. ”

Li Yue, who Li Yun listened to, had seen Lord Huang before, and looked at Li Yue suspiciously, Li Yue looked at Li Yun's eyes when she looked at herself, and had to explain for Li Yun on the side, "Because of the fourth uncle's hurtful things before, I was fortunate to meet with the adults, and at that time, thanks to Lord Huang, he pointed out a clear path for our family, and was able to get the fourth uncle out of prison." ”

Lord Huang listened to Li Yue's words, and said politely, "Mrs. Li is polite, that is also the result of Mrs. Li's own efforts, in fact, this official likes that clear and polite, straightforward, knowledgeable, I don't know where he is now?" Now is the time to employ people, and the official wants to recruit him into the yamen. ”

Li Yue listened to the words of Lord Huang, if this was placed in the past, it would have been a rare opportunity, but now, Li Yue sighed in her heart and said, "My fourth uncle has already gone to Yanmen Pass to join the army. ”

Lord Huang listened to Li Yue's words and said in surprise, "Have you already gone to Yanmen Pass?" Sure enough, it's a man. As a county magistrate in the border county, of course he knows what the situation in Yanmen Pass is now, and while admiring Ming Wenli as a man, he also has some regrets.

Immediately, Master Huang said to Li Yun, who had not spoken, "Does Master Li know the current situation at the border?" ”

Li Yun responded, "I heard about some, and we have already started fighting. ”

Li Yue didn't know the news that Li Zhong brought back yesterday, and after listening to Li Yun's words, she opened her mouth in some surprise, "What, has the war already started?" The first thing she thought of in her heart was the fourth uncle Ming Wenli who was still at the border Yanmen Pass.

Li Yun saw the worry on Li Yue's face, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, the fourth uncle is waiting by General Zhou's side, and it will be fine." ”

Lord Huang was taken aback, "This Ming Wenli has actually become the person next to General Zhou Xiao, that is a character who is difficult to say a sentence to himself, this husband and wife, I am afraid it will not be simple in the future." ”

Lord Huang sighed in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, after all, after so many years in the officialdom, he still has this concentration and ability to disguise.

Li Yue listened to Li Yun's words, and finally felt a little relieved, and asked, "How is the battle going?" ”

Li Yun shook his head and responded, "I don't know, Lord Huang has more detailed news?" ”

Huang Daren, who listened to it, said, "Xianbei has 400,000 troops, and our army only has 200,000 troops on the border, but Xianbei did not launch a strong attack, but confronted each other in front of the Yanmen Pass, and from time to time shouted outside the pass to challenge, General Zhou Xiao did not care, only ordered to close the gate tightly, if Xianbei launched an attack, he would defend it, and if he did not attack, he would truce." ”

Li Yunying said, "This is a good strategy, there are few people on our side, don't have a head-on conflict with them, just defend Yanmen Pass, Yanmen Pass is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, then the Xianbei cavalry is afraid that there is no way to capture it for a while, so that they can wait for the arrival of reinforcements." ”

In Li Yun's opinion, Yanjing knew the news of Yanmen Pass, and would definitely send reinforcements to support, but as everyone knows, the Northern Regions also launched an attack on Yanbei at the same time as Xianbei launched an attack.

Lord Huang chatted with Li Yun and Li Yue about the current situation along the way, the time passed very quickly, and he had already entered the city in a blink of an eye, and directly took the two to Xingsheng Restaurant, invited the two to have lunch together, and Huang Daren went back to Yamen.

Li Zhong left because of something, so Li Yun and Li Yue planned to go to the teahouse to have a look, after all, they hadn't gone to the teahouse since they came back.

On the way, Li Yue said to Li Yue, "Why do I think Li Zhong is so busy every day?" ”

Li Yun, who listened to it, said, "If he is no longer my former scholar, he is still the secret guard in Ah Jiu's hands." ”

Li Yue let out a soft "oh", then lowered her head and stopped talking, Li Yun was also silent, the two of them didn't know what they were thinking, and soon arrived at Xiaoyao Building.

The people in Xiaoyao Lou were very excited when they saw Li Yun and Li Yue, if it weren't for the teahouse, there were still guests to greet, Li Yue estimated that everyone would come around.

Because after Zhang Yan came back, he told the shopkeeper Qu about the matter of Daliangshan a few days ago, but everyone didn't ask too much, but Qu Yi called Li Yue directly and said, "Sister Yue, tell me about the things in Daliangshan carefully, I plan to make it into a storytelling." ”

Li Yue thought about it, and also thought it was very good, now the border Yanmen Pass is fighting with Xianbei, and I am afraid that it will spread in these border cities in a short time, such a story can greatly boost the morale of the border people, and it is also very important to fight a war and get the support of the people.

At the same time, think of those dead brothers, let this story be recited, at least let the people of Linzi County know those heroes who sacrificed to protect the people of Linzi, and their heroic deeds may be famous through the ages.

So Li Yue agreed and told the story vividly from beginning to end.

Li Yun has personally experienced it with Li Yue, and Li Yue told the story so boastfully that she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes, is it so exaggerated? They were so embarrassed along the way, hovering on the edge of life and death, but they didn't see as exaggerated as Li Yue said, what is one against ten, heroic and extraordinary, where is it as powerful and touching as she said.

But thinking that it was a storytelling story anyway, it was so miraculous, but it was more beautiful, so I didn't tear down the stage, and Li Yue made it up.

The two stayed in the teahouse until the evening, and then went back with Minghui, who was telling stories with Qu Yixue in the teahouse.

Just in time for dinner at home, the three of them went to the right courtyard to have dinner, with Liu's Zhang Luo, Xu Jinniang to help, and Minghui and Mingkang running errands, Li Yue didn't know where to start if she wanted to help, so she had to sit in the room and talk to the eldest brother who was resting today.

was talking to the eldest brother about the Xingsheng Restaurant, Ming Laosan came back, and saw that Li Yun and Li Yue were also in the house, so he said to Li Yun and Li Yue, "I have already found a store to open a barbecue restaurant, and I have already made an appointment with the landlord, tomorrow I will trouble Ah Yun to go with me, sign a contract with the landlord, since it is in your name, why don't you help come forward, so as not to get ...... time."

Of course, Li Yun and Li Yue understood what the third uncle was afraid of, Li Yun nodded, and replied succinctly, "Okay." ”

Li Yue asked, "Has the original store been disposed of?" ”

Ming Laosan said, "It's going out, business was good when we were there, as soon as I heard that we were going to transfer that place out, many people wanted it, and I did it this morning." ”

Li Yue nodded, "That's good, since you plan to open it again, then don't delay, anyway, those things are ready-made, so let's start it early." ”

As for improving the decoration of the store, Li Yue thinks that it is not necessary now, and the first Li Yue can guess that although the third uncle has a good business during this time, he wants to rent a large store from the new, but he is afraid that the funds are limited, and the second is that Li Yue thinks that the barbecue stall does not need to engage in such a high grade, and the parity consumption business is the best.

Ming Laosan listened to Li Yue's words, and responded, "Okay, when the store is rented tomorrow, let's clean it up and open it." ”

Mingyao on the side interjected and said, "Do you want to watch the next day?" ”
