Chapter 277: The Exile of the Male Protagonist’s Sister-in-Law 50
The village is only separated by a city from ‘Yanguan’, which is known as a checkpoint.
On the eve of my daughter's full moon, news came that the Huns were frequently provoking the Zhou soldiers. Soon it turned into a small-scale siege, and some soldiers died. Gradually, a tense atmosphere enveloped the border.
The atmosphere spread to the village, and the villagers were talking about ‘Is there going to be a war?’ and so on, looking uneasy.
The hearts of everyone in the Liu family were also aroused. It was their first time to experience war, not to mention that Liu Jing was still in the army. What would happen if something happened? Mother Liu looked at Heishan when she was fine. The white hair on her head increased.
On the day of the Full Moon Wine, they specially sent someone to call Liu Jing in the army, but he did not come back. He only sent back a message, "When the war breaks out, they will go and stay at Zhang He's place in the city."
In the next two days, there was news that more than a thousand people were fighting in Yanguan.
Mother Liu and Liu Yang immediately turned pale. Especially when they heard that their third son and third brother were also dragged into the battlefield, they almost fainted. However, the news that they had won the battle came the next day, and their son also Nothing happened.
The village cheered, and the Liu family breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, Mother Liu was ready to listen to her younger son and take her second daughter-in-law to the city. After all, Mingzhu had just been born and her daughter-in-law had just given birth. If something happened here, What should they do, but after being persuaded by Lin Zhi, they were already prisoners and fled in a panic at this moment. What would others think?
In the army, Liu Jing will inevitably get the reputation of "the Liu family are all timid young men", and his future will be difficult.
Liu's mother was full of tangles. How could she not know, but she still had to consider her daughter-in-law and daughter... Lin Zhi persuaded her, and Liu Yang was unwilling to leave after hearing this, so she stayed hesitantly.
Soon, there were more and more fights between the Great Zhou and the Xiongnu outside Yanguan. Both sides lost and lost, but in comparison, the Great Zhou won more. The people at the border suddenly put aside their worries and felt for the Great Zhou soldiers. Applause, some people even loudly commented that "the Xiongnu has not entered the land of Zhou for nearly fifty years" and "the Xiongnu's group of defeated generals is nothing to be afraid of".
Indeed, in the sixty years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, there have been three emperors.
Since the father of the old marquis of the Liu family fought the Huns so that they did not dare to go south, he then stationed himself at the border pass. From generation to generation until now, the Liu family's father and brother died in battle, they have guarded 'Yanguan' like an iron barrel. Unbreakable.
Although the generals have been changed, the people believe that Yan Pass is still unbreakable this time.
The Xiongnu stationed their soldiers outside Yanguan and continued to send troops here. They seemed to want to take down the Zhou Dynasty this time, regardless of the cost of blood and flesh. The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty also fought harder and harder, and clearly laid out their attack strategies in detail. , but there seems to be some people among the Huns who can figure things out.
Every time they attack their weak points unexpectedly, the entire formation is crushed to pieces.
It didn’t take long for them to be defeated, and the soldiers narrowly escaped death.
And this was just the beginning. As the two sides fought, the situation suddenly reversed. No matter what moves the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty made, they were seen through by their opponents, and they were defeated, leaving the military advisers of the Zhou Dynasty stunned.
Failed once, twice, three times...failed again and again, unable to fight back.
The scholars and merchants in the teahouses in the city who had previously cheered for Zhou and praised General Ling for his skill in leading the army were all panicked and ran to ask what happened and why it happened. No one paid attention to them, but instead began to continuously mobilize troops and increase manpower.
Lingzhi and the others were so close that they could smell the smell of blood outside the customs. You can imagine how corpses were everywhere.
But even if 30,000 soldiers were mobilized, they were still defeated. Yanguan was in danger and was about to break the city.
The villagers were in disbelief at the beginning but later realized something was wrong. Many of the people who could run began to pack their bags and run away with their families, leaving only some who were unaware or believed that Da Zhou would never defeat them. People, but when they heard that they were going to fight, the sky suddenly fell.
“In the past, when General Liu was still alive, there was no need for us to go to the battlefield. We only had to grow food for him.”
"Why, why are you waiting for me like this..."
Someone couldn't help but ran to Liu's house, wanting to ask Liu Jing who had returned from the battlefield, but saw him on crutches and obviously injured.
In a house full of female relatives, old, weak, women and children, there is only one male, Liu Jing, who does not even have an heir to inherit the incense. The Liu family is almost dead, and for a while they want to let him take on the big responsibility of guarding Yanguan. I can't say anything else. What's more, with Liu Jing's current status as a prisoner, he probably wouldn't be able to become a general.
I can only let him have a good rest and leave in despair.
"Jing'er, your injury." Mother Liu was heartbroken and regretted letting him go to the army. There were only three sons left in the Liu family. How could she be worthy of her dead husband if something happened.
Liu Jing shook his head: "Mom, it's okay, it's just a small injury."
Mother Liu just thought that he didn't want to worry her, and carefully said a lot, don't work hard anymore, the whole family will be well. Living is more important than anything else, etc. After saying this, he hurriedly went to the kitchen to make some food to feed his younger son.
Ling Zhi looked at Liu Jing: "Are you sure it's a minor injury?" She felt keenly that it was unusual for him to come back suddenly, and he was probably planning something.
Liu Jing raised his arm and said with a smile: "It looks serious. I will stay at home during this period. My second sister-in-law doesn't have to worry." He was injured intentionally. Originally, his job did not require him to go to the battlefield. But he begged the vanguard, saying that he wanted to make meritorious service and went to the outside of the pass, but in fact he was just to observe the battle in person.
Unexpectedly, they found something fishy, and the Xiongnu seemed to have noticed Zhou's plan in advance. This method was exactly the same as that of his father and brother.
He investigated carefully, and sure enough, he happened to see his second brother on the battlefield again...
With the evidence given by his second brother and the secret arrangement, he deliberately injured himself and returned. At home, if we just wait patiently for the arranged things to ferment, the person named Ling will definitely seek death. At this time, the border war must have spread back to the capital.
Ling Zhi looked at him: "Okay."
Liu Jing stayed at home, acting extremely relaxed. When he woke up, he teased his little niece, his eyes were full of love, he really loved her. .
The little baby is also very easy to take care of. It has dark eyes and doesn’t cry or fuss. It’s very easy to take care of.
Sometimes when Liu Jing talks to her, she screams and seems to be responding.
The uncle and nephew spoke in words that neither of them understood, and unexpectedly clicked together.
At this time,
in the capital, there was almost a commotion in the court.
At first, the Xiongnu provoked them at the border, and the two sides fought back and forth until they couldn't help but take action. The news spread back to the capital. The ministers and people in the capital were extremely angry. They had just defeated them a year ago, and now they couldn't wait to provoke them.
They all clamored that this time they must deal with the Huns severely and teach them a lesson.
Do you really think they can provoke Dazhou at will?
Not long after, the good news came that the Huns were defeated by the Great Zhou Dynasty. Ling Rui patted his chest in the newspaper and promised that he would beat the shit out of the Huns and kowtow to His Majesty in the future.
The ministers felt that they had been reviled, and the emperor looked satisfied. A banquet was held in the palace that day, and the king and his ministers drank wine, sang and danced to celebrate.
But not long after being happy, news came from the border pass that Dazhou had been defeated time and time again, and now it was almost possible to break through the Yanguan pass.
The ministers were shocked and then panicked.
