Xue Qingzu is the general who fought the country with Taizu, in those years, Xue Qing's ancestor Xue Yaowu has been the first tiger general under Taizu's chief strategist Xie An, and has made great achievements for the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the descendants of later generations have been enjoying the rest of the shadow, and the Xue family has gradually become a famous family in the Great Zhou Dynasty has not tasted defeat, Xue Qing's father Xue Tairan was also the commander of the Fujian Navy Division, when he was young, he repeatedly pacified the rebellion of the Japanese Invaders, and also made great achievements. coincided with the new emperor's good martial arts, and he was very happy to see Xue Tai's courage and good fighting. Xue Tai's young man had to get the ambition and the middle of the court, and when he saw the wind and made the rudder's flattery, he was a little carried away, his eyes were empty, and he secretly offended many people. That year, the Great Zhou Dynasty was at odds with the Turks, and the new emperor was vigorous, and he personally led an army of 200,000 to attack it. Xue Tai was also favored at that time, so he and Yang Xiong were assigned to lead the left and right commanders, and the emperor led the Chinese army himself.

When the troops were dispatched, the army made a plan, Yang Xiong on the right side went out of Jiayu Pass, and the emperor and Xue Tai went out of Tongguan. Xue Tai was originally a southern general, and he had no experience in fighting with the Turks, and he was also a layman in command of the civilian officials around the emperor, so that Xue Tai used troops to make constraints, although he had a clever plan, it was difficult to perform, and it was inevitable that he would be defeated by the Turks repeatedly. On the other hand, Yang Xiong, he was the general soldier of Jiayuguan at that time, he was well versed in the local geography and military affairs, and had fought dozens of battles with the Turks, and he was very familiar with the other party.

The two sides of the battle made the emperor angry, complained that Xue Tai was unfavorable in using troops, took away his military power, and led the Western Route Army himself. Xue Tai also knew that he was suffering, but when he saw that the emperor had cut his military power, he also secretly complained. But who would dare to speak for him at this time? Today's saint is only martial before he likes the truth and good way, but the way of the real army is about the same as that of Zhao Kuo who talks about the army on paper, and he is greedy for merit and rashness, and he was ambushed by the Turks in a few days, and was killed and defeated for thousands of miles, and less than 30,000 of the 150,000 troops were driven by the Turkic soldiers, and the rest died or fled. If it weren't for Yang Xiong's defeat of the emperor, he led 10,000 elite soldiers to gallop thousands of miles to help and retreat from the Turks, and it is unknown whether the emperor's life could be saved. Since that battle, Yang Xiong has begun the situation in which he has led the three levels alone, and at the same time, he has also established the prestige of the first general of the Great Zhou.

In that battle, the king's most beloved concubine was killed in battle, the little princess was also lost in the rout, and the emperor's own private place also suffered from hidden diseases, not to mention the fire, Xue Tai has also lost his sacred heart since then. As the saying goes, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and someone must bear the responsibility for the defeat. Xue Taichun offended many people when he was proud, and he was the general of the defeated army, and the sound of impeachment in the court came and went one after another. The emperor was unwilling to take the responsibility of this defeated army, and hated Xue Tai for his holy grace, so he agreed to everyone's impeachment and dismissed Xue Tai.

On the way back to his hometown, except for Yang Xiong, no one wanted to send it, and the hot and cold state of the world could be seen, Xue Tai couldn't help sighing, arched his hand to Yang Xiong and said: "Thank you Brother Yang for coming to send him, Jin Yuan is grateful!" ”

"I'm not sending you, I just hate the slanderous officials who are in charge, and I have lost a famous general in Da Zhoukong! If it were me who went west on behalf of Brother Jin Yuan, I would also be defeated by the hands of such traitors. Yang Xiong sighed and shook his head.

"Hahahahaha! Jin Yuan's defeat was not to defeat this Turk, but to this frivolous and unruly minister, and to this stupid and treacherous minister! Jin Yuan thanked Brother Yang for sending him this time, and asked Brother Yang to guard the Great Zhou River on behalf of my Xue family! After saying that, Shen Shi bowed and overheard him continue: "I, Xue Jinyuan, am ashamed of the people of the Great Zhou, ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, and ashamed of the 120,000 soldiers who died!" "Let's just draw the knife and kill yourself. The autumn wind blew over Xue Tai's corpse, over the mother and son who were crying on top of him, and also blew off Yang Xiong's heroic tears.

Xue Qing's mother was originally a talented girl in northern Jiangsu, and although she saw her husband dead, her heart was like ashes, and she was martyred, but she looked at the child again, and said in her heart: "If I die, my hard-working son will be pitiful in this world alone, no matter what, I will raise my husband's blood and blood to adulthood, so that he can repeat the glory of the old Xue family!" After thinking about it, he stopped crying, picked up his son and walked to the car. Seeing this, Yang Xiong wanted to take the two to the house, and he would train this son to become a talent. But Mrs. Xue has an excellent and strong character, and after thanking Yang Xiong, she politely refused. Yang Xiong didn't say much when he saw this, and watched the mother and son slowly drive in the direction of northern Jiangsu.

When I first returned to my parents' house, the people in the family had already heard about Xue Tai, and they all avoided it, and wanted to drive the mother and son out. is still an old mother and daughter, reprimanded the widowed person, and comforted her mother and son, and placed the two in the house. At the beginning, some white-eyed Mrs. Xue barely endured it, and she didn't think it was a big deal for her son. But one day, Xue Qing was alone in the courtyard in a daze, and suddenly saw several children from the second uncle's family surrounding him, and read as if singing a children's rhyme: "Wild child, no father, no one loves ......"

Xue Qing has been bullied by them for a long time, and this time he can no longer suppress the fire when he sees them becoming more and more excessive, he is behind the door, even if he reaches out at a young age, it is not something that a few rich sons can resist? But he was still young, and his hands were neither light nor heavy, and when he missed, he broke the forearm of one of the children. This time, a group of children blew up the nest, and they ran home crying and complaining. Xue Qing also knew that he was in trouble, and ran back to the room as if he was flying. After a while, the second aunt came to the door crying and complaining, and when Mrs. Xue heard it, she really thought that her son was not learning well to bully people, so she beat her son for the first time in her life. The second aunt was still unrelenting when she saw this, so much so that she alarmed the old lady before it came to an end, and when everyone was gone, the old lady also slightly blamed her daughter for a few words, and asked her daughter to discipline her son well. When the old lady went back, Mrs. Xue called her son to blame her again, and Xue Qing felt aggrieved when she heard this, so she told her mother the truth. After hearing this, Mother Xue took her son into her arms and sobbed in a low voice.

Xue Qing saw her mother crying sadly, so she thought that she blamed herself for beating herself by mistake, and comforted her obediently: "Mother doesn't cry, Qing'er doesn't hurt!" Mother Xue cried even more sadly when she heard her son's words.

After crying, she knew that her family could no longer accommodate her mother and son, so she packed her luggage, left a letter, and left this sad place. She was originally a big lady, she has never done any heavy work since she was a child, and it is not easy to make a living outside by herself, not to mention taking her son with her at this moment? But in order to cultivate her son into a talent, she is willing to do any work of washing, sewing, mending, and shabu, and she can endure any hardship.

Time passed year by year, and the young boy had gradually grown up, but she was aging much faster than ordinary women. On this day, seeing that his son finally danced the Xue family's gun as his father used to, tears slipped down in those once extremely moving eyes.
