Chapter 213 Missing Home
The camp of Jiang Yue and other soldiers was adjacent to the Donglin Camp. The originally vast camp began to expand.
The soldiers who had just been injured in the war went to the military doctor.
After two days of traveling, the soldiers were all exhausted.
Because of the two recent wars, they were hungry and tired, and the first thing they did after resting was to eat.
After several days of eating dry rations, the soldiers in the Youlan Military Camp finally got to eat steaming hot multi-grain steamed buns again.
Jiang Yue and the Xuanwu team sat outside the Huotou Camp.
The steamed buns with pickles and thin millet porridge were extremely satisfying.
This was the best meal I had in days.
"I really want to eat meat." Wu Fei looked forward to going out to find some food to satisfy his hunger during his next day off.
After hearing this, He Chong sighed, "Alas, I have money but nowhere to spend it."
Xue Wen: "Wu Fei, imagine the steamed bun in your mouth as meat, it will taste better."
While he was eating, he also drank a mouthful of the clear porridge, "This porridge is no worse than the meat soup we drank a few days ago."
Song Jie followed suit and took a sip of his porridge. "Not bad. I have been thinking about these steamed buns and millet porridge for many days."
Wu Fei couldn't help swallowing when he thought of his own white flour steamed buns. Now, even eating a bite of white flour steamed buns has become a luxury.
Xu Qiang, Wu Ding and others also treated the mixed noodles as meat and gnawed them with gusto.
Jiang Yue listened to the soldiers entertaining themselves and eating at a leisurely pace. Compared to normal times, he ate more today.
...Xia Yuanchen's tent,
Yun Yi sat opposite Xia Yuanchen, watching him wolf down his food.
Major General, have you not eaten for several days?
After observing for a while, he said to the guard standing outside the tent:
"Go and ask Doctor Yang to come over."
As soon as the young general arrived, he first rescued the people, solved his urgent problem and made him look at him with new eyes.
"Yes." The guard responded and left.
Xia Yuanchen raised his eyes and looked at Yun Yi.
"Jiang Yue has bandaged my wound. She has also been treating it for the past two days. There is no need to bother the military doctor."
When he said this, he still had a steamed bun in his mouth and his speech was a little slurred.
In fact, it was not that he did not want to receive treatment, but he was too sleepy and wanted to rest first. Besides, the military doctor must be very busy at the moment.
"It's safer to ask a military doctor." Yun Yi was really worried about Xia Yuanchen's injury.
Because, after taking off his armor, he was covered in wounds, among which the most obvious was the knife wound on his shoulder.
Even though Xia Yuanchen was wearing a dark red robe, the mottled bloodstains were still visible.
"How did the young general carry it here?"
"Let's not talk about me anymore, let's talk about Brother Ling and Lieutenant General Zhang. How are they doing in the battle? Does the military advisor know?" Xia Yuanchen changed the subject.
"General, if we attack the city every day, I believe Youlan will be defeated within half a month. I think the situation with Zhang Yan will also go smoothly."
Youlan City is indestructible. Back then, it took the enemy several years to capture Youlan.
After hearing this, Xia Yuanchen was thinking about helping Brother Ling to capture the city tomorrow.
Thinking of Deputy General Zhang,
An ambush along the way? That was a good plan. If he had come earlier, he would have definitely asked for this job.
...Life at the border is full of dangers, and the soldiers who live on the edge of swords all day long may not survive tomorrow.
Because of the expedition to capture the city, the imperial court recruited soldiers and grain on a large scale.
The people's lives were not easy either.
For example, Taoyuan Village,
Most of the men in the village, including the elderly, young children, and strong laborers, were forced to join the army.
If there is a son in the family, then the father in his thirties or forties will join the army. If there is only one male adult, then he can be exempted from joining the army.
However, double taxation is required.
This undoubtedly left those poor families, who had no money to pay and no hope for help, with no choice but to join the army.
The army went out to fight, and the imperial court had no other options.
It is really not easy for His Majesty Donglin to gather more than 100,000 troops in a short period of time.
At this moment, the weather is approaching evening.
Jiang Family,
Liu Chunfeng held Xiao Lin'er in one hand and Jiang Yue's letter in the other. Her red and swollen eyes showed how deeply she missed Jiang Yue at this moment.
"Xiao Liu, the soldiers in the barracks are all men. How do you get along with them?"
"You stayed overnight with a group of men. Did they bully you?"
"The swords on the battlefield are blind. Did you fight in the battlefield? Are you injured? Are you okay?"
"..."
Liu Chunfeng burst into tears when she thought of her two sons who died because of joining the army.
In the end, not even a corpse was left. When she missed her son, there were only two cenotaphs.
As for whether Xiaoliu can return home safely... I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it at all.
The little Lin'er in her arms seemed to be infected by her mood. He hummed and was a little naughty. Liu Chunfeng hurriedly shook his little body.
"Grandma, dinner is ready. I made your favorite stuffed pancakes tonight." At this time, Jiang Dani walked into her grandma's room with her pregnant belly and spoke to comfort her.
"Grandma, Xiaoliu was blessed by the gods since she was born. She will be fine."
She missed Xiaoliu and her husband as well.
I don’t know if Lin Guo and Xiao Liu will meet on the battlefield.
As Jiang Dani entered,
Jiang Sanni and Jiang Sini also followed in, both of them had red eyes.
They also missed Xiaoliu and their respective husbands.
In the first month of the year, the imperial court called for soldiers, and Lin Guo, Mu Heng and Jiang Cheng were all conscripted and sent to the border.
"Grandma, don't cry. When you cry, I want to cry too." Jiang Sini had just gotten pregnant. Before she had the chance to share the good news with Jiang Cheng, she had already gone to the border.
Jiang Sanni thought of Xiaoliu and Mu Heng, and just hoped that they could go home early.
Jiang Erni entered the house and also called her grandmother and sisters to eat.
Hearing the words in the room, she suppressed her inner thoughts and spoke to comfort him:
"Grandma, maybe this year's farming season is busy, so Xiaoliu, his brother-in-law, Mu Heng, and Jiang Cheng will all come back together."
Liu Chunfeng turned her back and wiped away her tears, then turned around and put on a kind face again.
"You're right." She spoke as usual, forcing a faint smile from the corners of her lips:
"Granddaughters, Lin'er, let's eat."
As the only elder in the family, how could she take the lead in infecting people with emotions?
Xiaoliu and Lin Guo are the pride of the Jiang family. She should be proud of them instead of dwelling on them all day long.
She should have believed that they would come back.
She led the way out of the house.
He also shouted to Cheng Yuchu who was chopping wood in the yard,
"Yuchu, it's time to eat."
"I understand, grandma." Cheng Yuchu put down the axe as he responded.
As the only man left in the family, he takes care of all the heavy work at home.
He is no longer the nerd who can't lift anything.
The family went to the kitchen, and Jiang Wuni was setting the table by herself...
...and Lin Guo, Mu Heng, and Jiang Cheng, who were missed by their grandmother and sisters,
We were on the march at this time.
As evening approached, the army did not stop and continued to move forward in the dark.
Lin Guo and the other two were jogging back and forth.
While jogging, Mu Heng, who was in the same row, asked Lin Guo in a low voice,
"Brother-in-law, do you think we can meet Xiaoliu if we join the army?"
Originally, before the wedding, she called me Lin Guo all the time, but because of the wedding, she changed her name.
At first he was not used to it at all, and later he felt uncomfortable calling her by her name in front of his grandmother and elder sister.
No, it has been changed a long time ago.
But I still am not used to it.
"Yes!" Lin Guo said firmly without thinking.
Behind him, Jiang Cheng, who had been silent all this time, also said something affirmatively.
"must be able to!"
"I hope so!" Mu Heng murmured in a low voice.
As the army moved forward, memories continued to emerge in his mind like a tide.
