Chapter 1071(1/2)
Inside Uralsk!
Sun Zhijie held a letter in her hand and her forehead was covered with sweat.
This is a letter specially sent by Sun Chengzong from a cousin at home!
When I opened the envelope and saw the familiar thin gold body Sun Zhijie, I knew that this was definitely my grandfather's handwriting.
Seeing the contents inside, Sun Zhijie's heart suddenly tightened.
"Brother, why did you offend grandpa? The old man lost his temper at home, and even your father was punished.
He also lost his temper and refused to eat, saying that there was a prodigal son in the family. If he eats less today, his children and grandchildren will have more food to eat in the future."
The fourth brother Sun Zhixiao sitting at the table was chattering about family matters while eating.
This fourth brother doesn't talk much on weekdays and has a perverse personality. He doesn't like fame and wealth, but only likes to work on history.
Sun Chengzong personally gave him the name "filial piety"!
He also said that the Sun family does not need a thousand-mile horse. Farming and studying is the long-term way to pass down the family!
This time the old man sent this fourth brother here, and Sun Zhijie knew that the old man was very angry.
The old man is already over eighty this year. If he persists for a few more years, he will live to a prosperous age.
Not to mention the Sun family, even the Ming court hoped that the old man would live longer.
The old man whom the entire Ming Dynasty cared for like an eyeball is now so angry that the consequences will be quite serious.
"Haha! Grandpa has already cursed loudly in the letter. Alas...! This job is hard to do!"
Sun Zhijie shook his head helplessly. He did not expect that the first problem he encountered in Uralsk was not due to the war.
"Brother, why did you offend grandpa?
Let me tell you, uncle has been punished. He was planning to beat you up when you came home. Don't blame your brother for not reminding you to be careful when you go home."
Sun Zhixiao dealt with a leg of mutton in a very imageless manner!
"Nothing! I just drove the handsome young master back to the Ming Dynasty." Sun Zhijie sighed, and now he also felt that this matter was not done properly.
But it was already too late, Li Lin had already boarded the train back to Daming under his strict order.
I guess I have arrived in Yili by now!
"Uh...! Brother, this is a big deal for you.
Everyone in the world knows that Daming actually belongs to the Marshal's family.
When you were in the navy, weren't you also a subordinate of the second master of the Li family?
The commander-in-chief only has such a son, and he was trained as a successor. If this is still the case before, Li Lin will be the crown prince.
Tell me, why did you offend him?" Sun Zhixiao deeply suspected that this eldest brother, who had always been called the Sun family's thousand-mile horse by his grandfather, was out of his mind.
"If he is not a young master of the Marshal's family and leaves his post without permission, I will shoot him." Sun Zhijie was still afraid.
Now I just offended Li Lin, but if something happens to Li Lin in the mountains, it will be a huge disaster for the Sun family.
Grandpa has prided himself on being shrewd all his life, how could he not see the reason why he did this?
Could it be that there is something else that I haven't thought of?
"Haha! Brother, why are you so smart all your life and so confused all your life?
So who is Li Lin?
The handsome son's own son, it's too late to treat him like a treasure with eyeballs. Will he really send it to the wolf's den?
With the Marshal's calm demeanor, if he is sent to a place far away from the Ming Dynasty, will he be protected secretly?
My good brother, in your army, there are less than a hundred people protecting him overtly or covertly, so my brother’s head will be cut off and used as a ball for you to kick."
"This...!" Sun Zhijie felt that what the fourth brother said made sense.
Others didn't know it, but he actually knew it. Two battalions were specially transferred from the First Division. One of the battalions said it was to protect himself, but in fact it was to protect Li Lin.
The identity of that old monkey is also very suspicious. He is just a low-ranking company commander. How could he follow the young commander all day long?
Could it be that the people he saw were not the only ones who followed him into the mountain?
"No wonder grandpa is so angry. He always values you. But he never thought that you would make such a mistake!
The commander sent the young commander to the front this time, not to ask him to fight.
It wanted him to experience a war. Since he was going to experience a war, it was appropriate to walk around the war zone and fire off a few shots.
What's more, the young marshal actually brought back a prisoner.
If I were to say that the young commander should be rewarded for his actions, instead of being driven back to the Ming Dynasty by you.
Well now, you are a frontline general, and the commander has given you this face.
But they still want to let their son see what war is like!
As a result, the young marshal became the marshal's attendant. I'm afraid he has already boarded the train in Ili.
Brother! You have failed to be a villain this time!" Sun Zhixiao took a sip of wine and looked at the speechless Sun Zhijie.
"Uh...!" Sun Zhijie was once again speechless.
This is what Li Xiao told him when he left Jizhou. Let Li Lin come to the front line to let him know what the war is really about.
Taking a closer look at Sun Zhixiao, this fourth brother, who has never been interested in fame and fortune, turns out to be a master at figuring out people's thoughts.
If he had known earlier, he might as well have let this fourth brother help him.
No matter what, it’s good to have a brother who fights tigers and has someone you absolutely trust by your side.
"The commander-in-chief is training the young commander-in-chief. He is just a successor. How can he not train him well?
Although the Marshal is still in his prime, even if he succeeds in the future, Li Lin will still be the eldest son.
Brother, if you send him back, how does this young marshal understand war? How does he understand war?
Brother! You are better at seeking the country than seeking your own life.
Our Ming Dynasty can be said to be full of powerful generals. Why did you choose to be on the front line? Do you really think it is because of grandpa?
Brother, you are wrong!
I chose you because your fighting methods over the years are very similar to the commander-in-chief.
Because of your personality, you will be steady and steady when fighting.
The same is true for governing a country, where surprise troops and regular troops must be used interchangeably. Those generals who always think about winning by surprise can achieve temporary victory.
But if you lose once, you will be doomed.
Asking Li Lin to join your army may not necessarily mean this.
Okay! Having said all that, I am worthy of your dinner and banquet.
After fighting this battle, let’s go! We have to prepare for spring planting when we go home!”
Sun Zhixiao wiped his mouth, saluted Sun Zhijie, and then prepared to go home.
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother!" Sun Zhijie quickly grabbed the fourth brother.
What Sun Zhixiao said just now made Sun Zhijie feel impressed. In the past, he really underestimated this fourth brother who only liked farming.
"What are you doing?" Sun Zhixiao looked at Sun Zhijie, his little eyes blinking.
"Father and son go into battle, brothers of Dahu. Stay and help me!" Sun Zhijie said very sincerely.
"No, brother, grandpa said that I am the grandson of the Sun family who farmed the land. You can't fight here!
If you really want a father-son army, I can discuss it with my eldest nephew and uncle after I go back.
Do you want your son to come here, or your uncle?"
"Uh...!" Sun Zhijie didn't know how to answer the question.
"Forget it! This is not my intention, brother, let's just say goodbye. There will be an airship back to Daming in an hour, and I have to hurry back.
We’ll have to sow in spring when we get back, the farming season waits for no one.”
"It's spring sowing in February." Sun Zhijie said angrily.
"Brother, grandpa had something to say when we came out. Grandpa had already guessed that you wanted me to stay, so he specifically told me not to stay.
If you have any deep meaning, you can go back and ask Grandpa yourself. You can also write a letter and I will hand it over to Grandpa for you.
But in our family, grandpa’s words cannot be violated, you understand.”
"Grandpa told me?" Sun Zhijie stared into Sun Zhixiao's eyes.
"Yes! Grandpa's order." Sun Zhixiao nodded.
Sun Zhijie didn't notice the lie and shook her head helplessly.
Sun Chengzong's words cannot be violated in the Sun family, and Sun Zhijie still understands this. Although he doesn't know why Sun Chengzong does this, he must do it according to Sun Chengzong's words.
"Okay! Wait a minute, I'll prepare some things to take home." Sun Zhijie said and asked his entourage to get gifts for Sun Chengzong and things for his family.
