Chapter 21 Operations Section 3 Rainfall
"This sword is a gift from my friend Tao Hongjing, a sword forged by his senior brother, who has followed me for many years, and seeing it is like seeing my best friend...... Since his death, I have been restless day and night, although I went to Tongtai Temple to bless my friend Xinfu, but Yin and Yang are separated, and I will never see each other again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Xiao Yan thought of his deceased friend, the famous doctor Tao Hongjing, he has been addicted to Buddhist scriptures in recent years, and his concern for this friend has faded, and he has gradually become estranged, when he heard that this miracle doctor actually died of a violent illness, he was shocked but also sighed at the strange things in this world, thinking that Tao Hongjing was a famous doctor in the world, but he had a disease that he couldn't cure, and he died in a very short time, which really made him heartache.
Wei Rui didn't know why the emperor wanted to mention his friend, that Tao Hongjing was a famous doctor in the world, and his senior brother Gu Yishan was both civil and military, with outstanding intelligence, and even a sword-casting stunt, the sword cast can be described as unparalleled in the world. The emperor actually gave himself the sword forged by this person, which shows that he really encountered a sad thing.
"That'...... The last general accepted the sword. Wei Rui had to kneel down and take the sword.
"Huaiwen, you are a hero in the world, and this sword is worthy of a hero, and you will not be wronged by it. Xiao Yan stroked the sword, and finally handed it over to Wei Rui.
"The last general, thank you to the emperor, I, Wei Rui, should lead the soldiers and drive the soldiers of Wei out of Daliang. Wei Rui knew that what the emperor wanted to hear most at this time was what he said.
"Only Huaiwen said this, and I, Xiao Yan, am safe in my heart. Xiao Yan's hanging heart was slightly lowered, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, only Wei Rui's words made him feel the most relieved after listening to it, "There is one more regret in my heart, Huaiwen has to write it down, I hope you can resolve it for Lian." ”
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Wei Rui didn't know why, and his mood suddenly became heavy.
"My Zong'er, since I was a child, has been on good terms with your family Ling'er, and after hearing that Zong'er defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty, that Ling'er really cried...... Alas, the two children have been studying and practicing martial arts together since they were children, so it's no wonder that this child is reluctant to have a comprehensive child. ”
When Wei Rui heard this, he didn't know how to answer the emperor's words, and he suddenly worried about his little son for no reason.
"Children are playful, and after playing together for a long time, they will naturally be a little reluctant. Wei Rui cautiously replied to the emperor's words.
"Lian hopes that Wei Ling will study hard, and after a few years, I will appoint him as an official and a half-position, and it is not in vain that he has studied with Zong'er for all these years. Xiao Yan sighed, "Actually, at this time, I really hope that Zong'er can change her mind and come back to me." ”
Wei Rui didn't answer, the uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, when Xiao Zong had just rebelled to the Northern Wei Dynasty, the emperor was furious and was going to break him into pieces. Why did he suddenly change his tone today, but he hoped that this traitorous and rebellious son would come back? And he mentioned his young son, which made him even more puzzled about what the king of a country in front of him was thinking?
"On the battlefield, I don't know if you can still see my Zong'er......" Xiao Yan sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, what do you command?" Wei Rui seemed to understand what the emperor meant.
"If you ...... If you can see Zong'er again, can you bring him back to see me?" Xiao Yan thought of this second prince who he had loved since he was a child, and his heart was still very difficult to give up.
"If the last general has the opportunity to meet the second prince, he will definitely do everything possible to let him come back to see the emperor. ”
"Those who know me, Huaiwen also ...... With your words, our father and son may be able to see each other again in this life. Xiao Yan's voice was slightly choked.
"The last general will leave it here, and set off for the Northern Expedition on the same day. Wei Rui was also unbearable in his heart, he lowered his head, pretended not to see the tears in the emperor's eyes, and said in a low voice.
"Well, you should go back and get ready. It's just that there is one more extremely important thing, you still have to remember it, you are the general of Pingbei and the assassin of Yongzhou, don't forget your important identity, in the Northern Expedition, don't forget to deal with your affairs in Yongzhou. Alas...... In this court, you are the only one who can solve the crisis in the north. Xiao Yan carefully admonished again.
"The last general has written down the affairs of Yongzhou, and please rest assured that everything has been arranged. Wei Rui took out the tiger talisman in his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan saw that only half of the tiger talisman was left, and he secretly admired in his heart, this Wei Rui is extremely smart, what he wants him to do, what he does can be described as not revealing a drop of water.
"Huaiwen disposes of it like this, and I am relieved. It's just that these 300,000 troops are only less than half of the Wei army. ”
"Please rest assured, General Cao still has 200,000 troops there, and the two of us are together, and we may not be able to defeat Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan. Wei Rui is not completely sure at this time, but he is not unprepared at all, since he is going to go on the expedition, before the expedition, the method of arranging the troops, you must think about it, if you encounter problems on the battlefield, it can only be a move, and you can't delay it.
"Okay, Huaiwen has such morale, our army will win this battle!" Xiao Yan finally showed a smile, he hadn't stretched his brows these days, and after listening to Wei Rui's words, he did feel at ease.
"The last general will leave!"
"The country of the United depends on the general!"
"Your Majesty, please relax, the last general will definitely recover the lost city of my Great Liang. Wei Rui replied firmly.
When he returned from the palace, he shut himself up in his study, and after about an hour he opened the door, and ordered the servant standing outside the door to call his wife into the study.
Mrs. Wei has been busy these days, and she has almost prepared the medicinal materials, and her only worry is that she will not be able to prepare the pills for her husband before he sets out on the expedition. At this time, she was urging her family to decoct the medicine quickly.
Wei Rui waited in the study for a long time and did not see his wife coming, so he had to come to the kitchen, and before he could reach the kitchen, he smelled the smell of medicine from the boss, and wafted from the kitchen. When he got closer, he saw that his wife was circling around the stove, on which a large jar of medicinal juice was boiling, and he frowned slightly.
When the family saw him coming to the kitchen, they hurriedly stood up: "Master......"
"Madame, you ...... What is this doing?" asked Wei Rui, puzzled.
"Well, here's a recipe I heard, and I'm going to make you some pills to take on the road. Mrs. Wei remembered Ling Xiao's instructions when she was leaving, so she had to say nonsense.
Wei Rui looked at his wife, the two have been married for decades, what kind of expression did this lady have when she lied, how did he not know? He didn't expose her lies, just because all she did was for herself, and this time she left her expedition to the Northern Wei Dynasty, she didn't know if she could come back alive, so why live up to her kindness?
"Madame, can you take a step to speak?" Wei Rui then remembered that he had come to Madame to discuss something.
Mrs. Wei then remembered that the housekeeper had passed a message to her not long ago, but she was really too busy to take care of it these days, and she forgot it in a blink of an eye.
"Alas...... I've been so busy these days that I can't take care of anything, what's the matter with me now?"
"Madame comes with me to speak. Wei Rui and his wife went to the backyard together.
"During the time I went on the expedition, I let Ling'er read at home, and he was not allowed to go out. ”
"This ...... I'm afraid I can't take care of it. Mrs. Wei was stunned after hearing Wei Rui's words, her youngest son has always been the companion of several princes of the emperor, he and the second prince Xiao Zong, the eighth prince Xiao Ji, have all been played since childhood, if you let that Ling'er stay at home, he will not go anywhere, and he will not be suffocated.
"You must listen to me, and he will not be allowed to go out. Wei Rui's expression was a little serious.
