"The carriages were rolling, the horses were rustling, and the pedestrians were carrying bows and arrows at their waists. The father-in-law and the wife were walking to see each other off, and the Xianyang Bridge was no longer visible in the dust. They held their clothes and stamped their feet to block the road and cry, and the cry went up to the sky."
He silently recited Du Fu's "War Chariots" in his mind to build up his emotions. After a while, grandma and the others would definitely cry so hard that they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. Yun Ye had to suppress the ecstasy in his heart and show a look of resignation.
The house was extremely quiet, with no movement at all. Wangcai stood under the big tree with his tail wagging to enjoy the shade, with Xiaoya's little pig lying at his feet.
The military order had arrived home, and the old lady must have seen it. The imaginary scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping over the wall did not appear, only a strange silence.
Afraid that grandma would break down from crying, she ran to the back hall and saw grandma, aunt, and aunt, who were preparing their luggage. Grandma spread the iron armor on the kang, wiped it carefully with silk, and then waxed it. Her face was calm. Aunt and aunt used
There were six silk ribbons of five colors of silk thread tied around the armor. The sisters took out pieces of clothing from the cabinet and discussed which ones to bring.
"Only autumn and winter clothes are needed, and nothing else is needed. It doesn't need to look good, as long as it is strong." This war will not take a year, it will end in just one winter. The Tang Dynasty has experienced a locust plague and cannot afford to fight.
protracted war.
"Ye'er, grandma, why do you think your armor is so light? It's different from Zhuang Santing's. Their armors weigh fifty or sixty pounds. Otherwise, you should change to a heavier one and wear this kind of armor.
Grandma is worried, she heard people say that the arrows on the battlefield are flying like rain, can such a thin piece of iron stop them?"
"Don't worry. Although my grandson's armor is light, it is made of the best steel. It is indestructible. It is not comparable to the armors of Lao and Zhuang. Don't worry, my grandson will not go to the battlefield. He will just stay here."
Later, we will treat the wounded soldiers and see if those Turks will use the plague. To prevent them from doing bad things, this armor is enough."
"You kill me on the battlefield, and I'll kill you. Who knows how far the war will end. Ye'er is still so young, but the army has the heart to send Ye'er to the battlefield. If there is something wrong, how will the whole family survive?"
As soon as aunt cried, grandma kicked her off the bed.
"You crow's mouth, who asked you to say depressing words?" Grandma was still unwilling to give up after kicking her, and threw the wax block in her hand at Auntie's head, very angry.
My aunt was beaten, but she didn't dare to resist. She just sat on the ground and sobbed.
Yun Ye helped his aunt up and said to her: "This is not the first time for my grandson to go to the battlefield. This time he is more comfortable than last time. I heard that he lives in the city. There is no danger. I know you are worried about me. My aunt is also forty years old.
She is a woman, please stop blaming her, lest your grandson worry about the family while he is away."
Grandma sighed and said: "You are the only male in the family. It is a man's duty to go to the battlefield. The whole family of women can't help you at all and always make trouble. It's difficult for you, Xiaoxiaonian.
People who have to raise a big family at the age of 10 have suffered a lot for my poor grandson."
The old woman was unexpectedly strong. She no longer cried like she used to. The tough and poor old woman was back again.
Since ancient times, Qin soldiers have endured hard battles, and Guanzhong has always been an important recruiting place for all dynasties.
Since you are a soldier, someone will naturally die in battle. Every family in Guanzhong wears mourning and every household mourns. This has developed the habit of Guanzhong women to be fierce and strong. There are no men in the family, and they can only provide for the whole family.
Cheer up, this is what the old lady is doing now. After Yun Ye leaves, she may hide in the room and cry alone. Before Yun Ye leaves, she will never shed a tear.
This is the personal armed force of the generals of the Tang Dynasty, that is, personal soldiers, who will accompany the generals life and death. The Yun family only has fifty elderly veterans. Yun Ye ignored his grandmother's persuasion and insisted on bringing fourteen older veterans with him.
Young veterans go to the front.
Before leaving, of course, he had to take care of the academy. He was very relieved to leave everything in charge of the academy to Li Gang. Yunye felt that the old man was the best choice in terms of reputation and talent. He had full plans and would only be away for nine months.
"Marquis Yun is going on an expedition this time. I have nothing else to say. I just hope that you will take care of your health and return to the court victoriously. On the day of your triumph, I will have a drink to congratulate you. You don't have to worry about the academy. I will leave it in your hands intact." Li Gang
With a serious look on his face, he assured Yun Ye word by word.
"It's because of you in the academy that I can boldly go to the army to make money. By the way, let me show you the excellence of my academy. Although people in the world like to enjoy various new tools that can make them work faster and easier,
But we look down on the people who invented these things. This is a contradiction. Our academy is the first in the world. Starting from bit by bit, one day we will let them understand that there are many kinds of knowledge, not just poetry and songs.
."
"Haha, as long as you are ambitious, I hope you can wait until that day."
"Boy, we won't say anything more to you. Anyway, you have many connections in the army, so take care of yourself." Several gentlemen actually clasped their fists and saluted. This was the first time.
"I also want to go to the army, and I also want to see the majestic appearance of the athletes of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke danced a short ceremonial sword and kept talking. Fortunately, other people in the academy were on vacation, otherwise the hot-blooded Jue
Li Ke won't be the only one.
"What are you doing here? Are the soldiers protecting you, or are they going to kill the enemy? Go and build your house. I'll take a look when I come back. If it's not built well, you know the consequences." No time to pay attention to the little brat, over there
Xiaoqiu has poked her head out of the corner several times.
Xin Yue was very shy and refused to come out of the house. Her usual boldness was gone.
Yun Ye stood at the door with a smile, waiting for her to come out. After waiting for a long time, he saw Xin Yue wearing a bright red wedding dress embellished with gold threads. The youthful girl style was gone, and her hair was combed into a woman's style.
, with a face full of makeup and holding a bottle in her hand. This is the attire of a newlywed bride.
Yun Ye was startled and turned around to look at Mr. Yushan. Mr. Yushan was looking at his granddaughter lovingly, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Boy, this is the rule in Guanzhong. If a man goes to war, if he has a fiancée, then the fiancée can wear wedding clothes to send him off. This is the highest courtesy for a woman to express her feelings. If you die in battle, she will have to remain a widow for the rest of her life.
Enyi." Daochang Sun, dressed for a long journey, explained to Yun Ye on the side.
Everyone left knowingly. They came to watch the ceremony. Xiaoqiu gently closed the door, and the small courtyard became a world of its own.
"You are dressed beautifully today." After saying this, Yun Ye wanted to slap himself. Isn't the most beautiful day for a woman the day she wears her wedding dress?
"I'll wait for you to come back. It's very unlucky for a woman to wear a wedding dress and not get married in a year." Xin Yue spoke softly.
"If nothing big happens, I will be back in nine months. When I marry you, I will not die. With such a beautiful wife, even if I die, I will get married and then die. Otherwise,
, what a loss.”
"Bad guy, you never say nice things, you always treat me like this." Xin Yue was a little dissatisfied with Yun Ye's performance and put down the bottle to pinch him.
He put his hands around Xin Yue's soft waist and held her in his arms. Before she could react, he kissed her heavily. Xin Yue's body seemed to have no bones, and she snuggled softly into Yun Ye's arms.
, let him do whatever he wants.
It took a long time for Yun Ye to reluctantly leave her soft lips. He looked at Xin Yue with half-squinted eyes and said, "Let's just live together in this life. You must not regret it." "Bad guy!" Xin Yue
He started to roar and twisted his hands around Yun Ye's body.
"Stop twisting, or you'll be dead." He struggled to escape from Xin Yue's clutches. It was getting late, and he wouldn't be able to catch up with the group if it was too late.
Xin Yue leaned on the door frame and watched Yun Ye go away, muttering "bad guy" in her mouth, but her heart was filled with the words Yun Ye said before leaving: "I'll be back soon." She wanted to send Yun Ye off happily.
Ye went to war, but tears flowed down involuntarily...
Also crying were Xu Jingzong's family. He had no sense of security since he received the military order. He didn't know how Yun Ye would arrange his errands. If Yun Ye had harmful intentions for him, he only needed to put him in the army.
It was enough to fend for oneself. Looking at his frail body, Xu Jingzong regretted his decision very much. Why did he go to the academy for nothing? It was a thousand times more dangerous than in the court. He was suppressed by the big boss and was just sent to the state or county.
, Now, not to mention being with a group of Qiu Ba, but still uncertain about life and death, it is really a huge mistake on my part.
Sun Simiao drove the carriage and followed Yun Ye slowly. He also wanted to see what was going on with the plague released by the Turks. He was dragging two carts of medicinal materials for the soldiers on the front line. He really couldn't understand Yun Ye.
Why did he have to pull several large carts of spices? The most suspicious thing is that there was a wretched fat man next to him. The two of them never stopped talking furtively along the way.
"Xiao Ye, do you think we can really make a fortune this time?" Fat He Shao asked Yun Ye quietly.
"Of course, believe me, you risked your life to join the army this time, how could I let you come back empty-handed?"
"Seizures must be turned over to the national treasury. Do we have any room to get involved?" Lao He became increasingly confused.
"Of course those gold and silver horses must be returned to the king. I mean those things that cannot be returned to the king. If there is a war now, there will definitely be a lot of dead horses, dead cows, dead sheep and the like on the battlefield. You just need to put these things
Take it back, make it into delicious military rations, and sell it to the commander. How much profit do you think it will be? Besides, those soldiers will be worried about having rewards with them, right? You take over and send them home.
Is it okay to charge some fees? Think about it. Not only have you made money, but you have also accumulated virtue. In the future, won’t all the business in the military be yours?”
Fighting means losing money? Yun Ye plans to use Lao He to do a small experiment to see if a small business can make money. After all, he has no experience in running a big business. Grandma, aunt and the others take care of everything at home.
I just let it go from the beginning. It sounds unpredictable, but in fact it is a huge paper tiger.
Last time in Longyou, he saw that Lao Cheng and the Zuowu guards only cared about the enemy's heads and didn't care about the livestock carcasses scattered on the ground. Yun Ye shouted at the waste and was despised by Lao Cheng. This time, the entire country of Tang Dynasty lacked
Food, I wonder if doing this will help the war effort.!~!
