Today, there was a rare good weather in the southwest. The warm sunlight shined down, although it was warm, it was not dazzling. Wu Shan opened his eyes wide and looked at the sun in the sky.
"General Wu is still young and has been born into a noble family. I believe he has lived in luxury since he was young and has never suffered much." The Liu Ci Shi turned around and sized Wu Shan up. He then laughed embarrassedly, and continued to speak to Wu Shan: "I won't hide it from you. When this official first heard that the emperor ordered a little brat to come here and settle the war, this official thought that this battle would be lost for sure. I never would have thought that you would have the strength to thoroughly win this battle so quickly. "
"There is the Son of Heaven above and tens of thousands below. How would Wu Shan dare to slack off? " Wu Shan did not mention anything about his hard work during this period of time.
Liu Ci Shi seated at the side could not help but sigh. He continued to speak to Wu Shan: "Old General Wu is a pillar of the imperial court, and its reputation is illustrious. Back then, this official was also fortunate enough to listen to the teachings of the Old General Wu.
Wu Shan held the cup tightly in his hand, smiled at the Liu Ci Shi, touched his shoulder and said: "Liu Ci Shi is in a serious situation, I am ordered to lead the southwest troops to protect the safety of the people, to suppress the enemies outside, this is my duty, there is nothing much to praise."
Wu Shan and the Liu Ci Shi were talking at the same time, when he suddenly heard the Vice General Zhang's voice.
"General, general …" Vice General Zhang's famous loud voice could be heard from far away. The people who came to collect the official salt were startled.
Wu Shan quickly stood up and waved Vice General Zhang over, signalling him to come over.
Vice General Zhang also saw Wu Shan in a glance, and quickly walked to Wu Shan's side and bowed towards him. He took out a letter from his chest pocket.
"What's wrong?" Wu Shan thought that something had happened. As he took the envelope from Vice General Zhang's hands, he asked Vice General Zhang anxiously.
Vice General Zhang also had a face of doubt, as he shook his head at Wu Shan. I don't know what happened, but this morning the messenger sent a letter, saying that it was an urgent message from the capital to you. After this lowly general received the letter, he did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately sent it to you. "
The Vice General Zhang gasped for breath as he spoke, but he did not forget to urge Wu Shan: "General, quickly open it and take a look, something urgent happened in the capital."
Wu Shan nodded after hearing it, and immediately opened the letter, realizing that it was actually his own sister, Duan Yunfei's letter to him.
Actually, it wasn't anything important. It was just a matter of asking questions about each other, and the connection between them was all. As Wu Shan read the letter, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What happened, General? Did something happen in the capital?" Seeing Wu Shan's subtle expression, Vice General Zhang's heart became even more doubtful, and hurriedly asked Wu Shan.
Not only Vice General Zhang, even Liu Ci Shi, who was standing at the side, started to worry.
Wu Shan carefully kept the letter while smiling and shaking his head at the two of them. "This letter was written to me by my cousin, and actually wasn't anything important. It only stated that after the peace talks are over, the emperor will allow us to return to the capital to recuperate. I estimate that not too long from now, the imperial edict will arrive."
Hearing Wu Shan's words, Vice General Zhang was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He had been stationed in the southwest for three years. He was different from Wu Shan. He still had his wife, children, and aged parents in his family. The last time he left home, his youngest son was less than a hundred days old. By the time he returned, the child would probably already be covered in soy sauce.
Thinking about it, Vice General Zhang couldn't help but sigh. When he returned home, he wondered if the child would recognize him.
The child was too young, so he shouldn't be able to recognize her.
His wife was also here as well. He had been working at a faraway place all these years, and he needed his wife to manage all the small and large affairs in his house. His family wasn't wealthy, and he lived a poor life, so he didn't know how she, a woman, could support this family with her frail shoulders.
Wu Shan could roughly see what the Vice General Zhang was thinking. He silently walked over and patted the Vice General Zhang's shoulders, and said to him in a low voice: "General Zhang, you are worried about the side of the house right …"
Vice General Zhang was someone who would rather die to save face than endure. Upon hearing Wu Shan's words, he hurriedly clapped his hands and shook his head, "General Wu is overthinking it. As a man, you should go to war for your country.
Without waiting for Vice General Zhang to finish speaking, Wu Shan waved his hand at him, and laughed: "General Zhang, Cousin sister told me in the letter that after I told her about the situation in your family, she had already ordered people to send people over a large amount of silver and food to our family. She will not let our children and elders starve to death, so don't worry too much."
Hearing Wu Shan's words, Vice General Zhang couldn't help but be a little shocked. He had never told anyone about the circumstances of his family, yet Wu Shan knew about it clearly.
Seeing Vice General Zhang's surprised expression, Wu Shan couldn't help but laugh, and then continued to speak to him. "I often see you sitting outside your tent in a daze late at night, but I don't know why you are doing this. Later, when I went to check your records, I found out that your family was poor and that you had many children. So, I told my cousin about this and told her to help me visit my family. "
Vice General Zhang was an iron blooded man. No matter how threatening the situation, he had never shed a single tear. But when Wu Shan said these words to him, he actually choked back a bit, and almost kneeled down. His eyes were completely red as he looked at Wu Shan.
Seeing that, Wu Shan quickly helped him up, and waved his hand, then laughed: "General Zhang does not need to be so courteous, General Zhang is far away in the southwest, he has not returned home for an entire three years, there is nothing I can do, I can only do my best, I hope General does not mind."
Vice General Zhang would not say anything impressive. He only looked at Wu Shan for a long time before bowing respectfully towards Wu Shan, bowing down. With a choked voice, he said to Wu Shan: "Thank you General Wu, thank you Thirteenth Princess. "With regards to such great kindness, there is no way to repay it."
Vice General Zhang laughed lightly and quickly helped him up. His eyes were clear, as if there were thousands of stars twinkling in them.
