It's late at night, and the continuous barracks are quiet. In the evening, the north wind gradually rises. By midnight, the whole river is full of strong wind, and the original pleasant temperature suddenly makes people feel the cold in winter and spring. Fortunately, Lu Kui had made preparations for the arrival of the late spring cold, so that the army arrived at hexingyuan, built a camp, and took many measures to keep out the cold, but there was no need to worry about too many people being infected with the cold, resulting in non war casualties.
"Thanks to Lu Shuai's foresight, he let the rear army of Changqing escort the supplies, and the whole army rushed to hexingyuan village. If we are still on the road now, we don't know how many soldiers will fall ill because of the sudden drop in temperature. " In the hexingyuan fortress, there is a relatively intact stone house, which is the temporary residence of Lu que. Mo Yingxing, who just wanted Lu que to report his encampment, listened to the wind of tiger roaring outside the stone house and said with lingering fear.
While looking at the military newspapers coming from all over southern Xinjiang in the afternoon, Lu que said, "my mentor once said that you can't be handsome if you don't know the time, the location and the people. Although I think I have many shortcomings, I have to be taught by my teacher and my father. I still know a little about the change of astronomical phenomena and the way of Lianshan's return to Tibet. Moreover, this time, the north wind is going south very fast, and the change of astronomical phenomena is obvious. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't see that the temperature will drop suddenly with my subtle trick. "
"Marshal Lu is too modest." Mo Yingxing looked at Lu que, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.
In terms of seniority, he and Lu Chun and Bai Lijia have known each other since they were in the Academy. They can be regarded as Lu Que's uncle and father, but he didn't mean to despise Lu que at all. After such a long time of contact, he found that Lu que was very different from other military commanders he had met.
Lu que is low-key, modest, kind and quiet. It's hard to imagine that such a young man is actually the commander-in-chief of more than one million troops in southern Xinjiang. However, there is a kind of reassuring and trusting power in him, which affects the people around him to follow him voluntarily and step by step to victory, including himself.
In Mo Yingxing's eyes, although Lu Que and his father Lu Chun are father and son, they are two completely different temperament. If he chooses one person to follow, he would choose Lu Chun who is brave and always wins. Now, he would choose Lu que who listens to thunder from a silent place and forces the enemy to a desperate situation.
However, there is something wrong with Lu que. Lu que is so thoughtful that he can't even find a place to check the remains. Just like before, he wanted to remind Lu que that the celestial phenomena are about to change, but before he said it, Lu que had already made the most correct arrangement, which made it impossible for him to play. Although he is now a commander of the Changqing army and a commander in chief of the southern Xinjiang government, he can only assist Lu Que in dealing with some military chores. However, seeing that the leaders of the next generation are growing up so rapidly, he is also happy to do something relatively easy for him as a veteran in the army.
"Well, let's not talk about that." Lu que raised his head, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Mo, you've been working hard all day. Now it's getting late. We'd better go back and have a rest early. We'll probably have to have a rest in hexingyuan for three days. When the cold wind passes and the Changqing Houjun arrives, we'll go to Xiaogushan to join the 50000 Huxiao troops."
"I see. Lu Shuai also went to bed earlier. You are still young, and your body has not fully grown up. Staying up late for a long time has a great influence on your body." Mo Yingxing saw that Lu que once again dropped his eyes on the pile of letter eagles on the desk and said with concern.
"Thank you for reminding me. I know." Lu que nodded with a smile, but his eyes did not leave the silk.
Looking at Lu Que's appearance, Mo Yingxing shakes his head and sighs. However, he knows that he can't persuade Lu que. Even his fiancee Gu Qingcheng can't persuade Lu que. When Mo Yingxing thinks about it, even the eldest princess in the imperial capital and the Duke of Wei in Northern Xinjiang can't persuade Lu que. It seems that he doesn't care about anything, but when he wants to do something, We must be the best.
Looking at Mo Yingxing's back, Lu que shakes his head with a smile. Stand up to light up some of the lights, and pick up a few pieces of paper to block the air leakage gap of the window. The original wooden windows of this stone house have been rotten because of time, and now they are all made by craftsmen in the army after the arrival of the army.
Just because of the rush of time, there are still some gaps that can let the cold wind blow into the room. Although Lu Que's current cultivation can't completely prevent the invasion of cold and heat, there is no problem with his coolness. The reason why he blocks the gap is that the wind always makes the lights shake, which affects him to see things.
In a twinkling of an eye, two days later, the north wind that blew for two days and two nights slowed down slightly. On this day, the Changqing rear army led by duanmuye and Lin Qingyu also arrived at hexingyuan. However, compared with the soldiers who arrived at hexingyuan before, their faces were a little pale, It can be seen that it is not an easy thing to escort military funds used by hundreds of thousands of troops in the cold wind.
"General Duanmu, general Lin, how are your soldiers doing?" Duanmuye and Lin Qingyu come to the temporary mansion to hand in orders to Lu que. But before they speak, Lu que asks.
Seeing the military adviser Mo Yingxing sitting at the left head, Duanmu ye and Lin Qingyu also understand why Lu que didn't call them the same as before. They looked at each other. With Duanmu Ye's eye, Lin Qingyu arched his hand and said, "report to commander-in-chief, because it rained day after day, and the road was very muddy and difficult to walk, A few grain wagons were trapped in blisters. Most of the soldiers who got off to tow the grain wagons were infected with cold. In addition, the rest of the soldiers were in good health. They could take a rest for a few days with something to drive away the cold. "
"That's good." Lu nodded and said to Mo Yingxing, "Mr. Mo, send a military doctor to the Changqing rear army to treat the sick soldiers, and then make some ginseng tea and ginger soup to burn some hot water. After the soldiers have used it, take a hot bath and have a rest."
"Don't worry, commander-in-chief. I've already arranged for it." Mo Yingxing answered, looking at duanmuye and Lin Qingyu, and asked, "all the generals and soldiers are really working hard. General Lin and Duanmu, I don't know if you have any needs. If you have any, just mention them. The commander-in-chief's office will try to meet them."
"This ~" when duanmuye and Lin Qingyu heard Mo Yingxing say this, they couldn't help looking at Lu que. Seeing Lu que smile and nod, duanmuye said, "commander in chief, we've been sleeping in the open these days, and we haven't eaten very well. Can we get some meat to reward us tonight? Of course, if we have wine, it's better. We've been blowing in the cold wind for two days, Wine is just right for the cold. "
"There's no problem with meat and broth, but there's no problem with wine," said Mo Yingxing. He can't help but look at Lu's lack of wine. "The army's law is to ban alcohol in wartime. He really can't make this decision. Moreover, there are more than 30000 people in the army after the evergreen army. Even if the prohibition is removed temporarily, there is not so much wine in the army."
Lu que naturally understood Mo Yingxing's meaning. After thinking about it, he said, "it's an iron rule to ban alcohol in the army in wartime. But now the army hasn't arrived in xuan'an county. It's not a state of war. You can make some modifications. How many drinks does Mo have in the army?"
"There are about several hundred jars, but most of them are in the wounded camp. They are mainly used to disinfect the wounds of the wounded soldiers, which is slightly higher than the ordinary liquor."
"Higher degree? Is that edible? " Lu que asked again.
Although baizhenlou, the imperial capital, was opened by his mother Yu Chuqing, it is also the property of Weiguo government. The Yuanxiang liquor produced by baizhenlou is famous in Beijing, and many people want to get a jar of it, but Lu que, as the young owner of baizhenlou, doesn't know much about wine. He prefers tea to wine, so he heard Mo Yingxing say so, He also did not know whether the wine used by the patients for treatment could be drunk, so he asked.
Mo Yingxing was stunned when he heard the speech. He didn't expect that Lu que, who seems to know everything in his cognition, would ask such a question. However, he was relieved when he thought of Lu Que's living habits. He said, "it's still OK to drink. It's just that he has enough stamina and is easy to get drunk, so it's not easy to drink more. In addition, it's because purification has been distilled many times, and the taste is not good."
Lu que nodded and looked at duanmuye and Lin Qingyu. He knew that they were both from Hanshan county and Qinglin County of Northern Xinjiang. Because of the cold weather there, they were used to drinking since childhood. Although they never drank much when they were in school, I would drink a little. I must have been suffocated in the army during this time.
After a little thought, Lu que said with a smile, "since this wine can be drunk, I will allocate 100 jars to the former army. As for how to distribute it, let general Duanmu and general Lin decide for themselves."
"Commander in chief." Duanmu wild and Lin Qingyu smell speech is a face change, Duanmu wild quickly said, "the sick and wounded save wine a jar only 20 jin, 100 jar also only 2000 Jin, our former army has more than 30000 soldiers, average down a person also get a mouthful, can you give some more."
"The wounded camp is not under your command. How do you know that a jar of wine stored in the wounded camp is 20 jin?" Lu short smell speech some funny looking at Duanmu wild asked.
"This ~" Duanmu wild smell speech a stagnation, there is mo Ying star here, how can he say he miss wounded camp those wine is not a day or two, can't help looking at Lu lack.
"At this time, the army had already banned alcohol, but now it was Lu Shuai who made an exception when he saw the hard work of the front army. If you think it's less, you won't give one jar, so that other battalions won't hear about it in the future and trouble our army Division." Mo Yingxing said with a frown.
"A lot, a lot. Thank you, marshal Lu. Thank you, commander mo Duanmu wild smell speech immediately change mouth, repeatedly bow to make Yi.
Looking at duanmuye's appearance, Lu can't help shaking his head and saying, "in this case, you should go back to the camp first. Mr. Mo, you should follow me to see if there is any need for the former soldiers. The commander-in-chief's office should be satisfied as much as possible. I still have some military affairs to deal with, so I won't go."
"Nuo ~" Mo Yingxing got up and said.
"I will leave at the end of the day." Duanmu wild and Lin Qingyu looked at each other, also said.
When the three left, Lu que opened a window to the north, and the cool North blew, which shocked his spirit. The king's blue sky was blown away by the strong wind. Lu que murmured, "three days, Dongya should be coming to Qianyuan city soon. I don't know what kind of attitude my mother would have when she saw my biography."
At the same time, in the Zhaowu Hall of the outer Pavilion of the imperial capital, the eldest princess Yu Chuqing had just fed Dongya, a white jackdaw who had been flying day and night for three days and three nights. Then he unfolded the silk in the letter tube. When he saw the familiar handwriting on it, he felt very warm. Lu que was her only son, Because of the relationship between their husband and wife, her son nearly went to prison. She spent 12 years in the eight peaks and ten valleys like a savage. She always felt that she was in debt. At this time, she is willing to put all the best in the world before Lu Qiaomian.
This is a private letter from Lu que, or a letter from his family. However, when Yu Chuqing ignored the warm and cold greetings in front of her, her smiling face sank. Lu que, her son, is not willing to pay the price as she thinks, but also quickly pacify Nanli's return.
With Yu Chuqing's understanding of her son Lu que, she naturally doesn't believe that Lu que doesn't understand what she is doing for, but Lu que just makes such a choice. Behind this choice, it means that Lu que had no intention of going to court after the war of Nanli, and he was not even interested in the assistant power of tens of thousands of people.
Even if she knew Lu Que's character, she had thought that Lu que would do it before, but when Lu que implicitly told her what she thought with her own choice, it still made Yu Chuqing's heart ripple.
At this time, Yu Chuqing can't help thinking of what her husband Lu Chun said to her before he left the imperial capital and went north: "Qing'er, Que'er grew up in Bafeng shigu. His heart is not in Daqian, and the secular world can't restrain him. In the eyes of Que'er, you are not Daqian's assistant chief princess, I am not Daqian's Duke, we are just his parents. As parents, we should support the choice of missing children, which goes against our original intention. Because since we want to be good to him, we should support him instead of helping him make choices. Let him go his own way. "
Thinking of this, Yu Chuqing realized that her husband Lu Chun might have thought about what her son would do, but she didn't think about it. She just wanted to give Lu que what everyone was pursuing, but she didn't think about whether it was what he wanted.
Thinking of this, Yu Chuqing put the silk aside, sighed and fell into meditation.
