Although the Imperial City is far away from the northern border, people in the Imperial City are still panicked when a war is about to begin.
"The northern border is in danger, and I don't know if the garrison can hold it before the army arrives."
"Yes! If we can't hold on and are retreating, what should we do?"
"No, we have General Song! Even if the Northern Territory misses, he can take it back from the barbarians."
"Yes! We also have General Song! General Song worked with the emperor to beat the barbarians back to their lair."
"We will definitely win this battle."
"Going to battle tomorrow? So urgent." Shen Wan frowned when she heard the news from Xia Zhu.
Look, how failed she is as a general's wife. When her husband will go to war, she still asks the maid to go out and find out.
"Mom, dad is going to war!" Song Ziling ran into the house sweating profusely.
Shen Wan said: "I know."
"Mom's prediction is absolutely correct." Song Ziling said as he took the tea poured by Xia Zhu and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that his mother looked a little unhappy, he said again: "Don't worry, mother, dad is very experienced in fighting, and he will definitely come back victorious this time."
He used to think that it was very prestigious for his father to go out to fight, but he didn't think so when his father went to fight against bandits last time. Fighting is a very dangerous thing, and his father hasn't gone yet! He is a little worried now. .
Shen Wan didn't say anything, she just looked at Song Ziling and smiled. It turned out that she was worried!
Song Heng didn't come back at dinner time in the evening. Mrs. Liu only knew that Song Heng had gone to the camp. She didn't know that Song Heng was going to the expedition. She was still happy that the emperor exempted Song Heng from suspension!
Mrs. Liu said: "Heng'er should not have been suspended in the first place. It is wise for the emperor to remove him now." Ziyu was found not guilty of murder, and Heng'er protected him, so naturally he should not be punished.
Shen Wan and Song Ziling looked at each other, wondering whether to tell them about Song Heng's expedition.
"General." Xiaocao's voice called the general came from outside.
After a while, Song Heng entered the house.
"Mother," Song Heng looked at Mrs. Liu and called out.
Song Ziling also looked at him and called "Dad."
"Sit down and eat quickly." Ms. Liu asked, "Why are you back so late?"
Song Heng sat down next to Shen Wan and said: "There are many things in the army."
Didn't he plan to tell his mother that he was going on an expedition? Shen Wan glanced at Song Heng with the end of her eyes and saw a tired look on his face. He must have been tired today.
Mrs. Liu nodded and said, "That's right. Since you haven't been to the camp for so long, there are naturally a lot of things to do. Thank you for your hard work, my son."
As he said that, he used serving chopsticks to pick up a chicken drumstick and put it in his son's bowl.
"Thank you, mother." Song Heng thanked him, picked up the chicken drumsticks in the bowl and ate them.
The family finished their meal in silence, and then it was time to chat with Mr. Liu.
"Mother." Song Heng called out solemnly.
"My son, do you have something to say?" Mrs. Liu asked with a smile.
"My son is going to war tomorrow." In order not to affect everyone's appetite, he chose to say it after the meal.
Liu was stunned for a moment, thinking she heard wrongly, and asked, "What did you say?"
Song Heng said: "My son will go on an expedition tomorrow. The barbarians from the northern region are invading the northern border. The border is in danger. My son is going to the northern border to defend against the enemy."
"Why is it you again?" Mrs. Liu's eyes were red. Ever since her son had an accident last time, she was particularly afraid of her son going to the battlefield again. "Why should you be asked to fight when there is a war? Where are the other generals?"
Since Song Heng was awarded the title of General Zhenbei, he has been sent to most of the wars in the past few years. In the past two years, he has almost always stayed in the imperial city. In the past few years, one
Nian could not stay at home for more than a few months. Firstly, because the emperor had great trust in him, and secondly, because he felt that as a soldier, it was natural for him to go into battle and kill the enemy, so he often took the initiative to ask for help.
But in Liu's view, her family was not a famous family and had no one to support her, so others bullied her son and always let her son do such dangerous things as leading troops to war.
Song Heng frowned and said: "Mom, I am the general who controls the north. There is a war in the north, so I should go. Moreover, I am also the person who is most familiar with the geographical environment of the north and the way of fighting the barbarians in the north."
