Half a month later, Gu Fuzhou led reinforcements to the northwest, and Lin Qingyu once again went to Tianyu with his cape. The only comfort is that this time they can at least write to each other, this is the privilege granted to them by the emperor.
Every memorial report sent from the northwest to the capital will be mixed with a letter from General Gu to his wife, and both of them will be sent to Lin Qingyu's desk as soon as possible.
Although Zoubao and Jiashu are written by one person, their styles are quite different. The report was concise and concise, with proper vocabulary, and it was all about military affairs. During this period of time, the Xixia Army, led by Guishuai, was in a state of power, and after occupying Yongliang, it took several important northwestern towns. After Gu Fuzhou led the reinforcement of the capital, he stabilized the army's morale first, and morale also improved.
Under the fierce offensive of the Xixia Army, the Dayu Army defended Guizhou City. This is the last line of defense in the northwest. Once Guizhou falls, Dayu's northwest gateway will open wide. When Xixia retreats, it can take the Jiangnan Plain and enter the capital directly.
After all, Gu Fuzhou was a man who put on a quilt and went to the gate of the city to command and deploy defenses. He had a lot of experience in defending the city. The Northwest Army and reinforcements worked together. According to the Xixia Army outside Guizhou City, it temporarily blocked Xixia’s advancement.
These are written simply in the memorial report, only the results, and the process and details are omitted. But just by looking at the number of casualties, we can see how difficult it is. But Gu Fuzhou's family letter is like this:
"Qingyu, you certainly wouldn't believe it. Since I came to the northwest, I haven't slept in a lazy night. Have you seen my determination to triumph?"
"After discussing with the generals in the evening, I walked out of the tent and saw the stars in the northwest were very bright. Suddenly I felt like you were by my side at this time."
"That Guishuai is a bit powerful. I don't think I'm his opponent. But Wu Youyuan is very confident. He can talk about tactics for two hours every day-I listened to him carefully, and then I started a lot of things. I'm losing my hair."
"Qingyu, counting the last time I was in the Northwest, I have won six consecutive victories. I have a hunch that it is coming, and my first defeat is coming soon. Help."
…
For some reason, Lin Qingyu was not particularly worried when he saw Gu Fuzhou complaining that Xixia Guishuai used soldiers like gods and crying that he was not his opponent. This should be Gu Fuzhou's tone of voice. It is clearly not a good thing, but somehow it can make people feel confident in him. This person is always like this, doing everything to his best in reluctant idleness.
The peace of mind that Gu Fuzhou gave him was never above words. This time... I think it will be the same.
No, it must be the same.
Lin Qingyu's New Year is extremely simple. Although Yuan Yin was the same as in previous years, red silk lanterns were hung in the General's Mansion, and window grilles were pasted on the windows, which also allowed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. But Lin Qingyu didn't care about it, so he took a couple of mouthfuls and went back to the room to rest.
The room is still the big bed carefully selected by Gu Fuzhou. In order to avoid getting up at night, Gu Fuzhou deliberately asked the carpenter to hit a wooden table that matches the bed, and prepare tea on the table every night, so that when he wakes up thirsty at night, he can drink water when he leans forward.
Lin Qingyu was lying on the inside of the bed, her limbs were slightly cool, no matter how thick the quilt was, her body could not get warm.
After four shifts, Lin Qingyu gave up falling asleep. He got out of bed, put on a fox fur, walked to the table with a candlestick, and wrote down what he thought in his heart: mandarin ducks and tiles are cold, frosty and gorgeous, and who is the same as the emerald quilt.
One wish for Lang Jun to be a thousand years old, two wish for his concubine to be healthy, and three wish for seeing each other every year... After all, it is just a good wish.
After finishing writing, Lin Qingyu lost consciousness for a moment, and raised his eyes to look towards the northwestern sky.
The candle burned out, sitting alone in the sky.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, people successively went to the General's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings. Unlike last year, besides many military commanders, there are also many civilian officials who come to visit the mansion this year. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the high gates in Beijing also understood that, except for General Gu, the general's wife was also a figure not to be underestimated. It is said to be the fifth grade medical officer Lin Taiyi, but the word "medicine" can be changed to "Fu" to be worthy of the name.
Most of the greeting cards handed to the door were pushed down by Lin Qingyu, but some people had to see it. For example, Gu Fuzhou's right-hand man in the army, Wu Zhan.
Wu Zhan was also worried about his rude words to the general. This trip was a New Year's greetings and an apology. The gifts he brought took up half of the yard. "These are the wishes of the brothers, and I hope Madam will not dislike it."
"No." Lin Qingyu was still polite, "General Wu sit down. Flower dew, tea."
Wu Zhan drank the tea from the General's Mansion, still restless. He and Gu Fuzhou are both martial artists, and they are not obsessed with trivial matters. If you want to apologize, you will apologize generously. But now sitting in front of Lin Qingyu, being watched indifferently by him, those words of apology became embarrassing.
Lin Qingyu said, "General Wu seems to have something to do."
Wu Zhan resisted: "What? Before the general went out, I scolded him with excitement, but later I found out that I had misunderstood the general. I was so guilty in my heart..."
Lin Qingyu asked: "Did you talk to the general about this matter?"
"That's it, the general said he doesn't have the same knowledge as me."
Lin Qingyu nodded: "If this is the case, I won't be as knowledgeable as you."
Wu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and grinned: "Madam, don't worry, I will take care of my violent temper next time. If I say anything to the general again, I will ask myself to go to the stable to feed the horse for three months."
Lin Qingyu asked: "General Wu just said that it was'temporary excitement' that he scolded the general. I don't know where this'temporary excitement' comes from?"
Wu Zhan felt guilty: "Actually, it is not a'temporary' excitement. At first, I saw that the Northwest was like that. The general was still indifferent and a little angry. Not only me, but also Wu Guogong felt that this was not something the general would do. . But we also felt that the general might have his deep meaning in doing this. So we just said a few casually in private, but we didn’t expect to be heard by Cui Xiang.”
Prime Minister Cui, Cui Lian, who were more than fifty years old at the time, were the ministers of the first emperor. When Xiao Teng was the prince in charge of the country, he also trusted him a lot. This person is considered prestigious in the court, and Lin Qingyu has not moved his mind for the time being.
Lin Qingyu asked: "What Cui Xiang said made you so indignant."
"Cui Sang said that we don’t understand the general. The general has fought for Dayu for more than ten years. Now he has married a beautiful lady and is indulged in a gentle homeland. It is excusable. The Xixia military division has many tricks, and the general is also a mortal. It's normal to fight against the "ghost" and to retreat, let us not be too harsh on him."
Lin Qingyu found something wrong: "So Cui Xiang is speaking for the general?"
"Yes, yes." Wu Zhan now thinks about it and feels something is wrong. "Cui Sang also said that the dream of ease in the capital is due to the general's years of battle. The words are toward the general, but we listened. It's just getting angry, and then I couldn't hold back it alone, so I rushed to the barracks... Alas, I'm confused."
Lin Qingyu was lost in thought. Was Cui Lian's trip his own thoughts, or was he instigated by others? He always thought that this veteran was still in peace, and now it seems... He wants to do bad things by himself again.
"Madam, why was the general reluctant to go to the northwest in the first place?" Wu Zhan couldn't help asking, "Is it really because I can't bear the glory and wealth of the capital? I don't believe it!"
Lin Qingyu glanced at Wu Zhan and said: "Because he feels that he is not on the battlefield, and he is less involved in the Northwest affairs. He is responsible for the 300,000 conquests of the Western Army and the people of the Li people."
Wu Zhan was shocked: "Why would he think that? The general is our God of War, and the soldiers trust him so much!"
"So he went there in the end, for your trust." Lin Qingyu said coldly, "Even if you don't push him, he will still go."
In the end, Young Master Jiang was different from him. In his bones, he was still a gentle boy.
After sending Wu Zhan away, Lin Qingyu ordered the flower dew to prepare a generous gift and let Yuan Yinbei get out of the carriage. Since Cui Lian was willing to speak for his husband, he naturally wanted to come to thank him.
The name post of the fifth grade imperial physician was delivered to the prime minister's mansion, and the prime minister's mansion was like a big enemy, as if it had received the empress dowager's decree. Cui Lian personally welcomed Lin Qingyu into the main hall of hospitality, and the tea offered was excellent. His attitude was neither warm nor indifferent, but just being polite.
"I really didn't expect that Madam Lin would visit the Xiang's house to pay New Year's greetings." Cui Lian said, "I don't know when Madam Lin was in the eyes of Madam Lin."
Lin Qingyu said: "Don't hide from Cui Sang, I didn't mean it. I just heard that the general had received Cui Sang's kind words before going on the expedition. I hereby come to thank you."
Cui Lian didn't change his face, but the hand holding the tea froze: "The general has worked so hard to fight a battle injury for Dayu. Actually, I can't bear to watch the general reluctantly and go to the battlefield."
Lin Qingyu said slowly: "But I clearly remember that Cui Sang said in the memorial earlier that the general is the best candidate in the northwest. I don't know why, it can make Cui Sangyi change his course."
Cui Lian was at a loss for a moment, and he reacted very quickly, calmly saying: "The book? The truth was not played for the Northwestern command, did the doctor Lin remember it wrong?"
"So," Lin Qingyu smiled slightly, "Maybe I remembered it wrong."
The beauty of a beauty was supposed to be pleasing to the eye, but Cui Lian was perplexed. He did have this manuscript, but the only person who saw the manuscript was the saint. When Lin Qingyu said this, did he really know something, or did he want to play with him
Before Cui Lian could think about it, Lin Qingyu got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Lin Qingyu said: "Cui Xiang, the veteran of the two dynasties, the pillar of the country, hope that the prime minister will think twice before doing anything, and don't do anything stupid."
After Lin Qingyu left, Cui Lian was uneasy, thinking again and again, and entered the palace when he was resting. The saint had already gone to bed, but it was still the father-in-law Xi who saw him. The first time he faced the sage alone, the sage said: The meaning of ridicule is my meaning, and Aiqing treats him as if he treats me.
Cui Lian told Xi Rong about what happened today: "Father Xi, the memorial to the commander of the chief general..."
"My Prime Minister, don't worry, it burned after the sage read it. It's impossible for Doctor Lin to see it."
Cui Lian had a lingering fear: "In this way, he really wants to say what he is. It is really insidious and cunning, and it is impossible to guard against!"
Xi Rong twitched the corners of his mouth: "But when the prime minister went to the palace to ask for a sage, didn't he tell the doctor Lin that there is a ghost in your heart?"
Cui Lian suddenly realized that he was immediately annoyed: "I didn't even think of this level!"
"The Prime Minister doesn't need to blame himself." Xi Rong said with interest, "Mr. Lin understood it a long time ago. By doing this, the lord has only sent him evidence. Even if there is no evidence, he has already confirmed the facts."
"You mean, he knows it?"
Xi Rong squinted his eyes: "Today, he is here to ask you to ask your guilt. It will be my turn in the next day."
At this time, a little eunuch found Xi Rong: "Father Xi, the emperor is awake and is looking for you."
"This matter has been bothered by the Prime Minister, and the rest is left to me." After Xi Rong finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the emperor's palace.
On the day of the Spring Festival, Lin Qingyu received Gu Fuzhou's letter again: "Seven consecutive victories baby, Wu Youyuan has made great contributions, and he deserves to be a man who can destroy Xixia. But he seems to be floating, and he always feels that he can beat five. But the problem is not big, I will prevent him from going out to wander around-to make a happy first anniversary."
Gu Fuzhou wrote the last letter from his family during the New Year, and when it was delivered to Lin Qingyu, it happened to be the day they made their love.
Lin Qingyu bends her lips shallowly, put the family letter away, and put it together with the ring that Gu Fuzhou gave him.
In the afternoon, the internal officials of the Ci'an Palace came to the mansion to speak, and the Queen Mother invited Lin Qingyu into the palace to spend the Lantern Festival together, and climbed to the tower to enjoy the lanterns after sunset.

small theater:
Classmate Jiang took the beautiful wife to go shopping.
On the subway, the beauty who just learned to use a mobile phone was chatting with strangers who helped him on WeChat.
Stranger: What? He also takes you on the subway! I can't stand it, can't I take a taxi! How can a big beauty take the subway! Male high school students who don't like it, damn it!
After seeing this, Classmate Jiang thought carefully and said to the beautiful wife: e... Or else, do you go to get a driver's license first
