Chapter 912: Goodbye Father
This battle was fought for three days, and it was really difficult, but fortunately, the city gate was finally closed, and the Southern Jin Dynasty suffered heavy casualties, so it was not attacked, and withdrew for a hundred miles to recuperate.
When Liu Yunxiang found Yan Dui, he was sitting at the base of the city wall covered in blood, his hair was messy, his armor was broken, his lips were chapped, his eyes were blue, and he was asleep.
Not only him, but many soldiers were paralyzed under the city like this, and many were seriously injured.
Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and called Yan Dui, Yan Dui woke up, and before he could see the person clearly, he hurriedly said: "The seriously injured soldiers will be treated on the spot, and the lightly injured will go to the city from the north gate to be treated outside the city." ”
"It's me." Liu Yunxiang rubbed Yan Dui's face, "It's me." ”
Only then did Yan Duan see that it was Liu Yunxiang, he breathed a long sigh of relief, sat upright with his body propped up, saw her face full of worry, and said, "I'm fine, this body of blood belongs to someone else." ”
"You've got an arm injury."
"Minor injuries, out of the way."
Liu Yunxiang sat down beside Yan Du and let him lean on his shoulder.
"I have organized the people to set up dozens of cauldrons in the city, including steamed buns, rice porridge, vegetables and meat, let the soldiers have a full meal first, and then we will discuss the rest."
Yan Dui looked relieved, "I knew you would arrange it." ”
"The medicines I urgently bought from medicinal herb stores in various places have also arrived, and there are not enough doctors in the army, so I invited dozens of doctors into the city."
"Hmm."
"It's going to change in the past two days, in the south at any time, but it's still cold on a rainy day, and I'm preparing a military uniform."
"Okay, but if the sky changes, the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty will have a harder time than us. They may withdraw their troops and wait until the beginning of spring next year. ”
"I hope so."
Liu Yunxiang looked at the injured soldiers all over the ground, the Southern Jin Dynasty was indeed too strong, if they attacked again, I was afraid that Da Rong's side would really not be able to contain it.
"Taking advantage of this opportunity, I have to persuade Beijin and Xiyue to send troops." Yan Du said.
"Leng Yuhail should have no problem there, he has seen the strength of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and also seen the unity of our Darong, when I asked him for food, he promised to give 100,000 stones, and at the same time he will go back to discuss the matter of sending troops."
Yan Du turned his head and kissed Liu Yunxiang, "You helped me solve a big problem." ”
Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Leng Yufei said that he was willing to send troops because he trusted you." ”
"Me?"
"Because you won't let Da Rong lose, then they won't lose Beijin."
Yan Du looked at the injured soldiers and said with a miserable smile: "I have always thought that I am very powerful, but this is not the case, I let Jing'an Hou go, and as a result, he opened the city gate, causing so many casualties among the soldiers. You see, I'm not all right, I'm not as capable as they think, and when facing a strong enemy in the Southern Jin Dynasty, I even had times when I wanted to back down. ”
"But you didn't retreat."
"If I retreat, I won't be able to stand up for the rest of my life!"
That night, it really rained heavily in the Ling'an area. The rain at this time of year was cold and biting, but fortunately, the Darong soldiers had shelter from the wind and rain in the city, and only the Southern Jin Dynasty camped a hundred miles away, and they couldn't resist the cold at all.
Early in the morning of the second day, Su Hui came to report that the Southern Jin Dynasty had withdrawn.
Ling'an was able to take a breath for a while, but at this time, the military salary began to be urgent.
"I have to go." Liu Yunxiang said, "But don't worry, I will definitely raise enough military salaries for you." ”
Yan Du hugged Liu Yunxiang hard, "If I tear up the covenant this time, the emperor will definitely be angry." ”
"The courtiers are all on your side, so the emperor doesn't dare to do anything to me."
"Still watch out for him."
"I know."
Yan Dui's forehead pressed against Liu Yunxiang's forehead, "I promise you, three years, after three years, the Southern Jin Dynasty will definitely not dare to invade Darong again, and then our family will be reunited." ”
"Three years, I'll give you three years." A trace of sadness crossed Liu Yunxiang's eyes, but he didn't let Yan Du find out, "Let's take care of each other and wait for the reunion." ”
"Wait for me!"
"I'll wait for you!"
As soon as the rain stopped, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin and Feng Zheng on the way back to the city. When they left the Lingnan boundary, they no longer galloped fast, but borrowed grain along the way.
But there is not much grain that can be borrowed, not because the government does not give it, but because it has just experienced the Nanzhou riots, and there is really no surplus grain in various places.
When she came to Jiangzhou on this day, Liu Yunxiang didn't have much hope, but Jiangzhou Futai stopped her.
"Crown princess, our people are raising grain for Lingnan, although there is not much surplus grain that each family can take out, but this is everyone's heart."
Liu Yunxiang came to the city with the mansion, stood on the bridge and watched the people pour grain into the three large vat in the street. Some are holding half a bucket, some are a bucket, some are carrying a small half sack, they are wearing coarse cloth clothes, and they are still patched, and their lives are not rich, but they still squeeze food out of their teeth to support Lingnan.
"Makes you laugh." Jiangzhou Futai Road.
Liu Yunxiang shook his head, his nose soured and said, "No, I thank the people of Jiangzhou City for the soldiers in Lingnan." ”
At this time, she saw a thin figure in the crowd, he did not hold food in his arms, but gave a bag of silver to the official in front of him.
Liu Yunxiang's eyes were red, and he hurriedly ran under the bridge.
When the man squeezed out of the crowd, Liu Yunxiang chased after him.
"Father!"
When Liu Shilang heard this, he probably thought he had heard it wrong, paused in his footsteps, and continued to move forward.
"Father!"
Liu Yunxiang called again, and Liu Shilang realized that he had heard correctly, so he hurriedly turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang in front of him. He looked excited and took a step forward, but thinking of what had happened before, he felt faceless again, and slowly lowered his head.
"Yunxiang, I didn't expect our father and daughter to be able to meet......"
Liu Yunxiang had mixed feelings in her heart, she hated her parents, and once hated to the point of cutting off relations with them. Even when her mother died, she didn't go to see her for the last time.
But after so long, the hatred will fade.
"Y-Aren't you in your hometown, why are you here?" She asked in a deep voice.
"Your brother wrote to me to Weizhou, saying that his daughter-in-law had given birth to a son and asked me to go and live with them."
Liu Yunxiang nodded, and her younger brother often wrote letters to her, but the letters were sent to Shengjing, so she didn't know about her brother-in-law's birth.
"That's good."
Dad and her brother's family are together, and she is relieved.
"Yunxiang, Dad has done too many things to be sorry for you before, and Dad is not going to compensate you." Saying that, Liu Shilang made a big gift to Liu Yunxiang.
Liu Yunxiang hurriedly went to help him, but he pushed it away.
"And I'll also compensate you on behalf of your mother, we were so confused at the time that we didn't care about your life or death."
"My mother has passed away, you are also old, and my daughter doesn't want to worry about that anymore."
Liu Yunxiang sent Liu Shilang to the outside of the city, and said goodbye to each other, and watched him get into the carriage. And when she was about to turn around, Liu Shilang took out Mrs. Liu's spirit card.
"Look, that's your daughter, don't you really want to see her."
Liu Yunxiang looked at the spirit card and couldn't help shedding tears. She stepped forward, looked at her mother's spirit card, knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Mother, you and your father will go to reunite with your brother's family, and when the war is settled, if there is a chance, I will visit you."
"Gotta go." Liu Shilang's eyes trembled.
Liu Yunxiang nodded heavily, "Definitely." ”
