Autumn rain continued, but the rain was not heavy.
On the official road, a line of knights came meandering. Knights in coir raincoats and hats guarded a black carriage in the middle.
"Ta Ta"
As soon as he rode from a distance, the knight saw the motorcade in front and shouted loudly.
"General Dong Ling of Jiameng pass has a major military situation transferred to the Lord."
The bodyguard stopped the reins, and the Knights stopped one after another in the rain.
Suger looked around and saw the guard in black and red light armor checking the knight's identity. A moment later, he checked his identity and let the man come.
The knight came to Su Lu, saluted with a fist, and then said:
"Ding Quan of the first brigade of the scouting camp has seen the commander-in-chief. This is the military intelligence urgent report that general Dong Ling ordered me to submit at night."
Suger reached for the urgent report, opened it and checked it. When he saw that there was nothing wrong, he transferred it to Su Lu.
A moment later, Su Lu laughed.
"Well, Su Ping and Li Kun fought a good war."
"One battle will break the siege army of the British, and another battle will break the army of Luojiang mansion."
"As for their impeachment of Rhoda for delaying the military plane and not moving forward in fear of war, it is allowed."
"Pass on my order. General Mingwei, the two men of Jin, will lead the southern border to deal with military affairs."
Su Ge was surprised and opened his mouth, but he still didn't speak. When he handed the prepared document to Su Lu for a look, he lowered his voice and said:
"The two generals have no command, and the army has no master general. It's hard to fight this battle, Lord."
Su Lu took the document, checked it with a smile, gave it to the knight with his own seal, and then said with a smile:
"Employing people is like using troops. Li Kun is insidious and cunning. Su Ping is careless on the surface, but he is not weaker than others. They can work together at the same level. If they point out who will dominate who, it will be difficult to fight this battle. On the contrary, it is much easier to fight now."
"Besides, when the war at Jiameng pass is over, Dong Ling is about to leave for Liangjiang."
"Since the two rivers have won a great victory, we don't need to go to the two rivers again. We'll find a place to rest in front and wait until the rain stops."
The pro guards are happy. They are all wet on their way. They are all uncomfortable. Now they all want to have a good rest on the hot Kang.
After walking for a short time, he arrived at a post station. The leading guard showed the seal of the general. The post Cheng hurriedly took out a bunch of keys and led the guards inside.
"This is an upper courtyard. It's the best courtyard in our Xinghua post. The lower officer just cleaned it today. Please come in."
The yard was quite large. Several bodyguards went in and searched the rooms one by one. After confirming that there was no problem, they came to report back to suger.
Su Ge looked at the courtyard and threw a piece of silver into the post Cheng's arms.
"All right, here we are. Food, hot water are ready. The general has come to work hard. Don't neglect it."
The post Cheng who received the silver smiled and replied: "don't worry, sir. I'll be ready for the next officer."
When he came out of the yard, the post Cheng ordered several post soldiers who heard the news to come together, "watch carefully. This is a general's military car. Niu Er goes to burn hot water, Dingshan and Letong. Go to Wanhe building with me and ask for a table of wine and vegetables."
The post Cheng was also capable, arranged things in order, maintained the operation of the post station, and made the post station look less busy.
In the yard, Wang Xiaoliu looked at the sky in a daze. He didn't take off his coir raincoat and hat.
Su Lu stood on the porch and asked Wang Xiaoliu, "Xiao Liu, I remember Wang Si's hometown is in Shangshan. This is Yongle. Although both belong to Jiangzhou, it should not be your hometown?"
Wang Xiaoliu's eyes were red, but the good man saw a pinch, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Lord, the last general is from Yongle. I asked the post station clerk just now. It's only 20 miles away from the village where the last general lives."
"That's a good thing."
Su Lu gave orders and said, "Su Ge, bring the defense map."
A moment later, Su Ge brought the defense map. Su Lu pointed to the map of Jiangzhou and asked, "we are now in Xinghua Posthouse, right here. Where is your boy's home?"
Wang Xiaoliu stretched out his hand and pointed up: "right here, Yaoshan village."
Su Lu nodded and ordered Su Lu to say, "give Xiao Liu one hundred liang of silver and let him go home to visit his relatives. By the way, I remember you brought a school captain's robe from grade seven. Give it to Xiao Liu and let him wear it home."
"Wealth and honor don't return home. It's like walking in royal clothes at night. Who knows. If Xiao Liu becomes a soldier for me, he can't suffer this loss."
Su Ge looked at Xiao 61 and snorted in his nose, "come with me, boy."
Xiao Liu can be a soldier around Su Lu for such a long time. Naturally, he knows the weight. He waved his hand and said, "don't be late. If this armor is returned home, it can scare the people in the village."
Suger curled his mouth. "You're wearing broken armor and can't see the production level. Who will give you face."
Although Xiao Liu wanted it in her heart, she knew from Su GE's appearance that she didn't like to give up her clothes to herself, so she had to insist on refusing.
Under Su GE's arrangement, Xiao Liu had dinner, set out with two guards and went straight to Yaoshan village.
The post Cheng said goodbye to Xiao Liu with a smile:
"General Wang, we are all fellow townsmen. I'll remind you first. The landlords and rich people in Yaoshan village are arrogant and used to it. If you meet a scoundrel who doesn't know your identity, you can directly report me Yao Wei's name. We still have some thin noodles in Yongle. Some people have to give us some face."
Xiao Liu sat on the horse and said goodbye to the post Cheng: "Xiao Liu, thank you, sir. I'll say goodbye."
The three galloped out of the post station, followed by Xiao Liu's Pro Wei Huzi disdained.
"Brother Liu, we are the senior general's personal guard and the seven grade official in front of the prime minister. Our prince is much more than the prime minister. We still have a medal and use his post Cheng name."
The tiger's tone was full of sarcasm.
Xiao Liu didn't speak, and he didn't know if he would use Yao Wei's name, but the experience of welcoming and sending under the Lord told him that it's always good to leave more backup.
The three quickly arrived at Yaoshan village at midnight.
After entering the village, Xiao Liu pressed his horse's head and walked slowly. When he saw the familiar adobe house, the muddy loess road and the poplar trees beside the road, his eyes became moist.
I'm more timid near my hometown and dare not ask anyone.
Xiao Liu is in such a mood now. He is afraid that a voice will suddenly tell him that all your parents have died in the war and that your childhood sweethearts have been married to others.
In front of the familiar courtyard, the firewood gate should have been changed. It's different from when I left. In the yard, there are several clusters of grapes hanging on the grape rack, which is still what I dreamed of countless times.
Big black roared several times across the firewood door. After being stopped, he recognized Xiao Liu and began to shake his head and tail.
"Who?"
Old man Wang, dressed in clothes and holding a lamp, pushed open the wooden door of the main house and asked about the situation in the yard.
"Dad"
Xiao Liu got off his horse, threw down the reins, opened the firewood door, entered the yard and knelt down in front of the old man.
"Poof."
The oil lamp in old man Wang's hand fell to the ground and splashed a small canopy of rain.
"Little six!"
"Liuzi, you're back, Liuzi!"
The old man was so excited that regardless of the oil lamp on the ground, his son kneeling in the mud shouted at the inner room:
"Son of a bitch, we're back at six, we're back at six!"
There was a lot of choking in old man Wang's voice.
The Queen's mother put on her coarse cloth coat and came out, crying with Liuzi.
"Son, you also know that Cuihua is going to get married. Did you come to see her for the last time? You're late, son."
The queen mother held Xiao Liu and cried bitterly.
