[Chapter 2046 Yan Wushuang Fanwai (1)]
In the south, the April grass grows and the warbler flies, and the peach blossoms bloom everywhere. But in April in Tongcheng, it was still snowing. But the snow melted, and as soon as the sun came out, spring followed, and the weather was warmer day by day. By May, the earth has put on new clothes, and everywhere is green.
The sun is shining brightly this day. Yan Wushuang rode his favorite horse to find Marshal Yan who was patrolling the city wall.
Jumping down from the horse, Yan Wushuang climbed up the city wall and walked to the stand, standing straight and looking into the distance.
Marshal Yan walked over with the guard and asked, “Wushuang, what are you thinking?” It was rare to see his son so serious. On weekdays, I really get a headache when I see it.
Yan Wushuang pointed in the direction of the Donghu people, and said with a solemn face: “Father, one day I will lead the troops to destroy these Donghu ghosts.” These people, like evil ghosts, harassed the soldiers and people of the border city, letting them Everyone is at peace.
Marshal Yan stroked his head and said softly, “It’s good that you have this ambition. But if you want to destroy the Donghu people, you must learn your real skills, you can’t just talk about it.”
Yan Wu double-headed: “Dad I know.”
Father and son come home.
As soon as Mrs. Yan saw Yan Wushuang, she couldn’t help complaining: “I was going to ask you to try on your new clothes, but you disappeared in a blink of an eye.” She complained, but her face was full of smiles.
Yan Wushuang smiled and hugged Zhang Shi’s hand and said, “Mother, I will try the clothes after I have eaten.”
After poking Yan Wushuang’s forehead, Mrs. Zhang laughed and scolded: “You are not allowed to go out today. You must practice the exercises well in the afternoon. Otherwise, you will be compared by Xiao Wu. Let’s see where your face goes.” Xiao Wu is a subordinate of Marshal Yan. Son, because of the death of his parents, he was regarded as his adopted son, and he has been living in the Marshal’s Mansion. He is five months younger than Yan Wushuang, and Zhang treats them equally. What Yan Wushuang had, he also had it.
Hearing the words, Xiao Wu hurriedly said, “My adoptive mother, I can’t compare to the third brother.” Yan Wushuang is very talented in martial arts, and he has never slackened in studying and practicing hard, so he has achieved some achievements in martial arts.
Marshal Yan said with a stern face: “Xiao Wu must not belittle himself. Everyone has their own skills, and your archery is unparalleled.” Xiao Wu’s heart is calm, and the arrows he shoots out of ten, Yan Wushuang thinks that To train him to be an archer. After his death at the beginning of the year, he was already looking for a master for him.
Hearing this, Yan Wushuang asked, “Dad, haven’t you found a suitable teacher for Xiao Wu?”
Marshal Yan said: “I have my own ideas on this matter.”
“Oh.” His father was always like this, he couldn’t say it properly when he had something to say.
Seeing his son like this, Marshal Yan was also helpless. Because Yan Wushuang was acquired by their husband and wife in their thirties, it is inevitable that they will be spoiled when they are old. So, the temperament is a bit out of line. However, he had two older brothers above him, and Marshal Yan didn’t care. But since the eldest son died in battle, Marshal Yan began to want to correct his temper. But the temperament has developed to want to break over, easier said than done.
After eating, Yan Wushuang took Xiao Wu to walk the horse. But Marshal Yan and his wife didn’t care about him. Although Yan Wushuang’s temperament escaped, he never failed in martial arts. When it’s time to practice, he will come back.
Mrs. Zhang looked at her husband with a worried expression, and asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t the military pay for the imperial court have already been allocated? Could something go wrong?” already complained. How could Mr. Zhang, who is a member of the Marshal’s Mansion, not know about these things.
Marshal Yan said in a low voice, “I’ve allocated 820,000 silver, and I’m already on my way to Tongcheng.” But for them, this amount of money was a drop in the bucket.
“Although it’s a little less, it’s better than nothing.”
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, “Last year’s winter lasted a month longer than usual, and more than ten of our horses froze to death. I think the losses of the Donghu people should be greater than ours.” They all froze to death so much, it is inferred that the Donghu people must have died a lot of livestock.
After arriving in Xuehua in previous years, the people of Donghu all came to Tongcheng to grab things like crazy. Now they are afraid that they will not be killed on a small scale, but will be attacked on a large scale.
The military salaries, food and forage are all deducted by the court, and it is even more impossible for them to replace their weapons and equipment with new ones. Over the years, Marshal Yan has tried his best to get money, and only then did he keep the 200,000 soldiers and horses in Tongcheng. Over the years, they have barely kept the Donghu people out of the city.
Zhang Shi’s heart jumped: “Husband…” Before Donghu people came to commit crimes, her husband had never been worried, and even released a rhetoric saying that if he wanted to cross Tongcheng, he would pass over him. But this time, the words were full of worry. And this made Zhang shi very frightened.
Marshal Yan said: “You pack your things and bring Wushuang back to Shengjing in two days.”
Mrs. Zhang is not someone who doesn’t care about everything, so she asked, “Husband, is there something else?” If it was only from Donghu, she believed that her husband could handle it.
Marshal Yan shook his head and said, “Nothing else. It’s just a precaution. You should bring Wushuang back to Shengjing earlier.”
This is also a custom handed down by the Yan family for hundreds of years. The purpose is to leave a root for the Yan family, and not let the incense of the descendants be broken.
Zhang Shi hesitated and asked, “Husband, do you have a letter from the queen and the prince?” She actually knew that the situation between the queen and the prince in the court was also very difficult. If it weren’t for the marshal with her husband holding 200,000 soldiers and horses, I’m afraid that the queen would have been abolished by the faint-hearted king long ago.
Marshal Yan shook his head and said, “No. Every year at this time of the year, there is a war, and the queen won’t tell me anything at this time.”
In fact, the queen had a sweetheart when she was a girl at home, but unfortunately, an imperial decree of the late emperor forcibly changed the queen’s life trajectory.
The Yan family has been loyal for generations, even if the queen did not want to end up being forced by the old marshal Yan into the sedan chair to marry Guangzong. And the queen’s sweetheart died not long after she got married. And Guangzong didn’t like the queen, but he was very fond of the woman surnamed Song. Now, even let the surname Song and the child born to her climb on the head of her sister and nephew. Even if Marshal Yan was very angry, he never said these words to Mrs. Zhang. Tell your wife that there is nothing to do but worry her.
Thinking of this little sister-in-law of his own, Mrs. Zhang felt very sad. If there wasn’t the imperial decree of the late emperor, the aunt did not marry the emperor but married He Tao, even if He Tao died in battle, it would not have been so difficult.
Although Marshal Yan reported the good news but not the bad news, how could Mr. Zhang really know nothing. Just so that Marshal Yan wouldn’t worry, she never said it.
Marshal Yan said: “You pack up your things, and I will ask Li Duo to take you back to Shengjing in two days.”
“No, just send the guards from the mansion to take us back.” Li Duo was the most capable assistant by her husband’s side, how could he be allowed to leave her husband’s side.
Marshal Yan said: “It only takes more than half a month to go back and forth, so there will be no delay. Let’s talk to Wushuang two days later about this matter!” If the child knew, there would be trouble again.
Thinking of this, Marshal Yan had a headache: “When you arrive in Shengjing, you must detain him, and don’t let him run outside all the time. Let him stay in the house to practice the exercises and read more books.” Yes, but I have no interest in studying. In Tongcheng, there was him who lived in the town to learn things honestly with his husband, but when he returned to Shengjing, he couldn’t hold back with the wild horses that ran away.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, “I see.” Before, Mrs. Zhang felt that Yan Wushuang was still young and didn’t want to restrain him too much. When you are young, you can be carefree and unfettered, and you will never be as relaxed as you are now if you take responsibility in the future. But now that my son is old, he really can’t be like before.
“Wugou is gone, Wuya can’t take on this important task. Don’t restrain him now. After two years, he will be unruly.” . The second son’s martial skills are average, and he can’t take on the important task of guarding Liaodong. Therefore, he pinned his hopes on his younger son.
Then Mrs. Zhang nodded lightly: “When I return to Shengjing, I will urge him to study and practice martial arts.” However, studying, he did not want to spend too much energy on it.
God loves Yan Wushuang very much, even if he doesn’t like to study, he remembers and knows the meaning of what Mr.
Two days later, Yan Wushuang knew that he was going to fight in Shengjing and was unwilling: “Father, mother, I have to go into battle to kill Donghu ghosts!” Every year he had to go back to Shengjing to fight in Xuehua, and then wait for the winter to come. After the fight, I went back to Tongcheng. This made Yan Wushuang feel very unhappy.
Little do they know how many people wanted to leave Tongcheng like him, but couldn’t.
“Wu Shuang is obedient, pack up our things and head back to Shengjing tomorrow.” Shengjing also has their mansion.
Yan Wushuang was reluctant: “Mother, if you want to go back yourself, I won’t go back.”
Mrs. Zhang said, “This is your father’s decision, and you have to go back if you don’t.”
In fact, the Zhang family has never been willing to leave Tongcheng and return to Shengjing, but this is a rule handed down by the Yan family for hundreds of years. How could she, the mistress of the house, ignore the rules set by her ancestors.
“I’m going to find Dad.” Without waiting for Zhang to stop him, he hurried out to find Marshal Yan.
Zhang shi shook his head helplessly and said, “This child.” Her husband’s words were consistent. What was said was never taken back.
As soon as he saw Marshal Yan, Yan Wushuang shouted: “Dad, I’m not going back to Shengjing. Dad, I want to stay and kill Donghu ghosts with you.” All gone.
“Nonsense. How old are you, you dare to say that you will kill the enemy on the battlefield?” The youngest in the army are all fifteen years old, but they are all new recruits.
Recruits have to train for at least a year before they can be put on the battlefield. Otherwise, let them die.
Yan Wushuang was still a little afraid of Marshal Yan in his heart: “Dad, it’s okay not to go to the battlefield, but I don’t want to go back to Shengjing.” Staying in Shengjing all day worried, it is better to stay in Tongcheng. At least here, you can know the battle situation ahead for the first time.
Marshal Yan said with a sullen face, “Go back and pack your things, and go back to Shengjing with your mother tomorrow. If not, I’ll tie you up and throw you on the carriage.”
In an instant, Yan Wushuang sighed.
ps: In addition to Yan Wushuang, there are also Tie Kui and Yuxi’s episodes.
