Chapter 2041 (1/2)

In April in the south, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the peach blossom is everywhere. But in April of Tongcheng, it's still snowing. But when the snow melted, the sun came out in spring, and the weather was even warmer. By may, the earth had been put on new clothes, green everywhere.

It's sunny and spring. Yan Wushuang rides his favorite treasure horse to find Marshal Yan who is patrolling the city wall.

From the horse jumped down, Yan Wushuang climbed up the wall and went to the stand to look at the distance.

Marshal Yan came over with his guard and asked, ”matchless, what are you thinking?” It's rare to see a son so serious. On weekdays, I have a headache when I see you.

Yan Wushuang pointed to the direction of the Donghu people and said with a solemn face, ”Dad, one day I will take the soldiers to kill these Donghu ghosts.” These people, like ghosts, haunt the soldiers and people in the border city, making everyone uneasy.

Marshal Yan touched his head and said softly, ”it's good that you have this ambition. However, if you want to kill the Donghu people, you must learn the real skills well. You can't just say it by mouth. ”

”Yan matchless heavy nods:” I know father

Father and son come home.

As soon as Mrs. Yan saw Yan Wushuang, she couldn't help complaining: ”I'm looking for you to try on your new clothes, and I can't see your figure in a second.” Complain on the mouth, but smile on the face.

Yan Wushuang smiled and hugged Zhang's hand and said, ”Niang, I've eaten my clothes and tried again.”

He poked Yan's peerless forehead, and Zhang said with a smile: ”no more going out today. You need to practice hard in the afternoon. Otherwise, I will be compared by the junior five and see where your face is. ” Xiaowu is the son of Marshal Yan's subordinates. Because his parents died, he was recognized as his adoptive son. Then he lived in the Marshal's mansion all the time. He is five months younger than Yan Wudi, and Zhang treats them equally. Yan matchless has, he also has.

Small five hears speech to say hurriedly: ”Yimu, I can not compare three elder brothers.” Yan Wushuang is very talented in martial arts. With his hard work and never slack off, his martial arts have achieved little.

Marshal Yan said with a straight face: ”you can't be a little five. Everyone has what they are good at. Your archery is incomparable. ” Xiao Wu has a calm mind. He shoots nine out of ten arrows. Yan Wushuang wants 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?”

”I have my own idea,” said Marshal Yan

”Oh.” His father is always like this. If he has something to say, he can't speak it well. He likes to use it to send him away.

Looking at his son, marshal Yan was helpless. Because Yan Wushuang was acquired by their husband and wife when they were in their thirties, it's hard to avoid being spoiled by Laolaizi. Therefore, the temperament is a little off. But he had two older brothers, and marshal Yan didn't care. But since his eldest son died in the war, marshal Yan began to want to break his temper. But it's not easy to get into the habit of breaking it off.

After dinner, Yan Wushuang takes Xiaowu for a walk. But Marshal Yan and his wife didn't care about him either. Although Yan had a unique personality, he never lost his martial arts. By the time of practice, he will come back.

Zhang looked at her husband and asked, ”what's the matter? Isn't it said that the court's military pay has been allocated? What's wrong with it? ” From last winter to now, the imperial court has not allocated military pay for half a year, and there are already complaints in the army. How can Zhang family, who is a member of the Marshal's office, not know these things.

”Marshal Yan said in a low voice,” he has set aside 820000 silver and is on his way to Tongcheng. ” But for them, the silver is a drop in the bucket.

”Less, but better than none.”

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, ”last winter was one month longer than the previous year, and more than ten of our horses were frozen to death. I think the loss of Donghu people should be greater than that of us. ” Their horses live in the stables and are taken care of by specially assigned persons, so many of them are frozen to death. Therefore, the Donghu people must have died a lot of livestock.

In the past years, after the snowmelt, Donghu people came to Tongcheng like crazy to rob things. Now they are afraid that the disaster will not be a small-scale forced killing, but a large-scale invasion.

The imperial court has withheld military pay, food and grass, and weapons and equipment are more unlikely to replace them with new ones. In these years, marshal Yan worked hard to make money, and only then raised the 200000 soldiers and horses in Tongcheng. These years, they barely stopped the Donghu people outside the city.

Zhang's heart leaped: ”husband......” In the past, Donghu people never worried about their husband's coming, and even said they would cross Tongcheng if they wanted to. But this time, the words are full of worries. And this, let Zhang Shi very panic.

Marshal Yan said, ”pack up your things and take matchless back to Shengjing in two days.”

Zhang is not the one who doesn't care about everything. He asks, ”husband, is there anything else?” If it's just Donghu, she believes her husband can handle it.

Marshal Yan shook his head and said, ”nothing else. Just in case, you'd better take matchless back to Shengjing earlier. ” Every may in previous years, Zhang took Yan Wushuang back to Shengjing.

This is also a custom handed down by the Yan family over the past hundred years. The purpose is to leave a root for the Yan family, not to let the di branch break the incense.
