Chapter 912 Goodbye Father
The battle lasted for three days, and it was really difficult. Fortunately, the city gate was finally closed, and the Southern Jin Dynasty was also very injured, so it did not attack and retreated for a hundred miles to recuperate.
When Liu Yunxiang found Yan Mu, he was sitting on the base of the city wall covered in blood. His hair was messy and his armor was broken. His lips were chapped and his eyes were blue. He fell asleep.
Not only him, many soldiers were sank under the city like this, and many were seriously injured.
Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and called Yan Mu. Yan Mu woke up. Before he could see the person clearly, he hurriedly said: "The seriously injured soldiers were treated on the spot. The slightly injured one went out of the city to treat from the North City Gate."
"It's me." Liu Yunxiang rubbed Yan Mu's face, "It's me."
Yan Mu then saw that it was Liu Yunxiang. He breathed a long sigh and sat upright. Seeing that she was worried, he said again: "I'm fine, this body of blood belongs to someone else."
"Your arm is injured."
"Small injury, nothing to do."
Liu Yunxiang sat down beside Yan Mu and asked him to lean against his shoulder.
"I have organized the people to set up dozens of large pots in the city, including steamed buns, rice porridge, vegetables and meat. Let the soldiers have a full meal first, and we will discuss the rest."
Yan Mu looked at his peace of mind, "I know you will make arrangements."
"The medicine I bought from medicinal stores in various places urgently also arrived. There were not enough doctors in the military, so I invited dozens of doctors to the city."
"Um."
"The weather will change in the past two days. It will be in the south at any time, but it will be cold on rainy days. I am preparing for military uniforms."
"Okay, but if the weather changes, the people of Southern Jin will be harder to bear than us. They may withdraw their troops and wait until the spring is coming next year."
"I hope."
Liu Yunxiang looked at the injured soldiers on the ground. Nan Jin was indeed too strong. If they attacked harder, I am afraid that Darong would really not be able to stop him.
"Take this opportunity, I have to persuade the Northern Jin and Western Vietnam to send troops." Yan Mu said.
"There should be no problem with Leng Yuxian. He saw the strength of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the unity of our Darong. When I asked him for food, he promised to give him 100,000 stones, and at the same time he would go back to discuss the issue of sending troops."
Yan Mu turned his head and kissed Liu Yunxiang, "You helped me solve a big problem."
Liu Yunxiang shook her head, "Leng Yuxian said that he was willing to send troops because he trusted you."
"I?"
"Because you won't let Darong lose, then they will not lose."
Yan Mu looked at the injured soldiers and smiled bitterly: "I always felt that I was very powerful, but it was not so. I let the Marquis of Jing'an, but he opened the city gate and caused so many casualties. You see, I am not all right, and I am not as capable as they thought. When facing the powerful enemy of Southern Jin, I even wanted to retreat."
"But you didn't retreat."
"If I retreat, I will never be able to stand up in my life!"
That night, it was indeed raining heavily in Ling'an area. The rain was cold and cold at this time. Fortunately, the soldiers of Darong were in the city, and they all had places to shelter from the wind and rain. Only Nanjin camped a hundred miles away and could not resist the cold at all.
Early the next morning, Su Hui came to report that the people of Southern Jin had withdrew.
Ling An was able to take a breath for a while, but the military pay began to get anxious at this time.
"I have to leave." Liu Yunxiang said, "But don't worry, I will definitely raise enough military pay for you."
Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang with great force, "This time I tore up the covenant, the emperor will definitely be angry."
"The court officials are all on your side, so the emperor dare not do anything to me."
"You still have to be on guard against him."
"I know."
Yan Mu's forehead pressed against Liu Yunxiang's forehead, "I promise you that in three years, Nanjin will definitely not dare to invade Darong again, and our family will be reunited."
"Three years, I'll give you three years." A trace of sadness flashed through Liu Yunxiang's eyes, but Yan Mu did not discover it. "We take care of ourselves and wait for a reunion."
"wait for me!"
"I'm waiting for you!"
As soon as the rain stopped, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin and Feng Zheng on the way back to the city. After leaving the Lingnan territory, they no longer galloped quickly, but borrowed food along the way.
But there is not much grain that can be borrowed. It is not that the government does not give it to you, but that I have just experienced the riots in the Nanzhou Province and there is really no excess grain reserve in various places.
When he arrived in Jiangzhou that day, Liu Yunxiangyuan had no hope, but Jiangzhou Prefecture stopped her.
"Crown Princess, we people are raising grain for Lingnan. Although the surplus grains of each family can take out, this is everyone's wish."
Liu Yunxiang came to the city with the Mansion and stood on the bridge and watched the people pour grain into the three-door jars on the street. Some held half a bucket, some were one bucket, and some were carrying half a sack. They were wearing coarse clothes and patched, and they were not rich at all, so they squeezed out grain from their teeth to support Lingnan.
"I made you laugh." Jiangzhou Futai said.
Liu Yunxiang shook her head and said with a sore nose: "No, I would like to 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 the food in his arms, but gave a bag of silver to the official in front of him.
Liu Yunxiang's eyes turned red and she hurriedly ran under the bridge.
When the man squeezed out of the crowd, Liu Yunxiang chased after him.
"Father!"
When Mr. Liu heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong, so he paused for a moment and continued to move forward.
"Father!"
Liu Yunxiang called out again. Only then did Mr. Liu realize that he had heard nothing wrong. He quickly turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang right in front of him. He looked excited and hurriedly took a step forward. But when he thought of what had happened before, he felt shameless and slowly lowered his head.
"Yun Xiang, I didn't expect that our father and daughter could meet again..."
Liu Yunxiang was mixed with feelings. She hated her parents and once hated her to break off relations with them. Even if her mother passed away, she did not meet her for the last time.
But after so long, hatred will fade.
"You, aren't you in your hometown? Why are you here?" she asked in a stingy voice.
"Your brother wrote to me to go to Weizhou, saying that his wife 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 sister-in-law's childbirth.
“It’s great.”
She felt relieved when her father and brother were together.
"Yunxiang, Dad has done too many things to be sorry for you before, so Dad will compensate you." As he said that, Mr. Liu repaid a big gift to Liu Yunxiang.
Liu Yunxiang hurried to help him, but he pushed him away.
"And I will also apologize to you on behalf of your mother. We were so confused at that time that we ignored your life and death."
"My mother passed away, you are old, and my daughter doesn't want to care about those anymore."
Liu Yunxiang sent Mr. Liu to the outside of the city, and then said to each other to take care of him and watched him get on the carriage. When she was about to turn around, Mrs. Liu took out Mrs. Liu's spiritual sign.
"Look, that's my daughter. Don't you really want to meet her?"
Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but shed tears when she looked at the spirit card. She walked forward, looked at her mother's spirit card, and knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Mom, go and reunite with your brother's family. When the war is settled, I will visit you if I have the chance."
"You must go." Mr. Liu said with his eyes trembling.
