Chapter 956: Meritorious Service
The name of Fengyu City has a good meaning, but because it is close to the border pass, it is often harassed by the Ele people, and it happens from time to time to snatch food, kill people and set fires.
That's why the prince is in a hurry to set off, if the Ele clan continues to attack in one go, the morale of the border soldiers will definitely be affected.
This first battle was very crucial, even with General Huo accompanying him, the prince was in good spirits.
And Lin Yaozu is in the first queue where the prince is.
Before leaving, Ripple specially instructed Lin Yaozu:
"Husband, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and the children and I are still looking forward to your safe return, you must be careful."
"I know."
Lin Yaozu hugged the ripples in his arms and said.
"Husband, on the way to the march, you must follow the prince's team, so that you will not suffer in food and shelter, and you can also accumulate experience and keep yourself full of physical strength.
But if you go to the battlefield, even if you are in the rear, you have to stay away from the prince. ”
Ripples lowered his voice and instructed in Lin Yaozu's ear.
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
Lin Yaozu asked.
"I sent the maid around me back to inquire with my father, the commander of the Ele tribe, Na Wule, likes to take the head of the enemy general the most, in order to show his merits, if he goes to the battlefield, he will definitely target the prince.
If there is an assassination, the guards and secret guards around the prince will definitely protect the safety of the master as soon as possible, do you think they will still take care of you on that occasion? ”
Ripple explained with a frown.
"Madame wants me to stay out of danger and avoid being harmed."
Lin Yaozu reacted immediately.
"Well, that's what I mean, nothing matters as much as your life, you know?"
"Don't worry, I'm also the son of the military department, not to mention outstanding, I still have the ability to protect myself."
Lin Yaozu said with confidence.
"Tsk, the cows were blown to the sky by him, if he said so before he got married, there is still a certain credibility, and now he is a soft-footed shrimp, it is estimated that even you can clean him up, and he is still proud here."
Duoduo complained ruthlessly.
"It's okay, just make him happy."
Ripple said nonchalantly.
After the husband and wife said goodbye, Lin Yaozu went to bid farewell to his parents again, so he took his personal servant and two guards to gather outside the imperial city and embarked on a journey.
After returning to his courtyard, Ripple immediately announced that he wanted to be a vegetarian, and copied scriptures to pray for his husband, hoping that he would return safely.
The news reached Mrs. Lin's ears, and Mrs. Lin became more and more satisfied with the ripples.
An Dinghou knew that Lin Yaozu was in the entourage of this expedition, but he was not worried about his daughter, who gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Lin family, and worked hard.
Especially now that Lin Yaozu is on the expedition, the result is unknown, even if he is unlucky and dies on the battlefield, his daughter has children to rely on, and he will definitely be able to live his life in the Lin Mansion with confidence, so he just means to send some things at once, and the number of gifts is on the line.
After the prince gathered 150,000 soldiers and horses, he fought the first battle in Fengyu City.
As time passed, the reports of the battles on the battlefield were transmitted back to the imperial city from time to time, and the people of the Great Huan Dynasty were paying attention to this war.
In the early days of the war, neither side had a clear understanding of the other's way of fighting, so there were fights and exchanges, and each side won and lost, but in the autumn, the war entered a white-hot level, and both sides wanted to end the battle before the first snow fell.
The Ele people want to win the battle and obtain more winter supplies from the Dahuan Dynasty, so that the tribe can survive this winter.
The prince wanted to completely drive the Ele out of the border before the ice and snow closed the road, and it was best to let these people be consumed by the cold winter weather, so that it would be easier to take the territory of the Ele in the following spring.
For their respective goals, the two sides are inseparable, and even the prince occasionally goes into battle and plays tricks with Na Wule.
And the Lin Mansion has been receiving letters from Lin Yaozu intermittently, and he is no longer frightened at the beginning, just praying that Lin Yaozu can come back as soon as possible.
But it has been almost twenty days since Lin Yaozu wrote from Lin Yaozu last time, and Mrs. Lin was a little anxious, so she came to the rippling courtyard under the pretext of watching the child.
"Ripples, has the child been well-behaved lately?"
"The children are very well-behaved, but occasionally they shout to see their father."
Ripple also said with a sad face, and then she asked deliberately:
"Mother, have you sent back Yaozu's letter?"
"None! That's exactly what I'm worried about, and I've been flustered lately. ”
Mrs. Lin sighed.
"Mother, I think the absence of news is good news."
Ripple said after pondering the words.
"I hope so!"
After Mrs. Lin saw her three grandchildren, she went back to her yard.
The next day, Lin Shangshu brought back bad news, Lin Yaozu returned with the escort of grain and grass, but was attacked by a small group of people of the Ele tribe on the way and lost his trace.
Mrs. Lin fainted on the spot after hearing this, and the ripples were also shaking, and she was supported by the plum branch on the side in time.
Then Shangshu Mansion was in chaos for a while, and the ladies in charge were all dizzy, which must invite a doctor, and the daughter-in-law of Ripple also had to play her role, taking over the affairs of the backyard of Shangshu Mansion, while serving the sick, and taking care of the three children distractedly, she was the busiest person in the entire mansion.
And Lin Weiyin and Lin Weiyun, who have a very low sense of existence, also stood up at this time to brush up on their sense of existence, took the initiative to share the worries of Ripple, the sister-in-law, and took on the matter of serving Mrs. Lin.
Ripples was busy on the surface, but in fact it was still very easy, after all, the one acre and three points of the Lin Mansion was much simpler than her previous management of the country.
The border pass went through several fierce battles, and finally when the first winter snow fell, the prince led a large army to drive the Ele people out of the border pass, basically crippled them, and the news of Lin Yaozu's death also came back.
After hearing the news, Ripple pretended to be sick, Lin Yaozu's funeral was arranged by Lin Shangshu, and An An was almost five years old and could throw a pot for his father.
Ripple lies on the bed and communicates with Shijiu:
"Lin Yaozu's person is very sorry for his life, this time he was really brought by a dog?"
"Not quite dog-leashed yet."
Shi Jiu replied in a timely manner.
"Not dead?"
"Half-dead!"
"Tell me about it."
He wanted to return to the imperial city with the grain transport team first, but was arrested by a small army of the Eile tribe as a grain transport officer, and then forced him to lead the Eile soldiers to sneak back to the station of the Dahuan Dynasty to grab grain and grass.
Lin Yaozu used the blade hidden in the cuff to cut the rope and ran, he didn't help the other people who were caught to get out of trouble, but no one covered him, and after being caught up by the Ele people, he fell directly off the cliff, his head was broken and bleeding, and he was rescued by a hunter, and he is still unconscious. ”
"Unexpectedly, his protagonist's aura still saved his life."
Ripple sighed.
"Hey, why did you get the news that he was killed?"
"The officers and soldiers who carried the grain were killed, and his body could not be found, so the prince took the decision and joined the list of the dead."
