Achi spent four days and four nights driving back to Shengjing from Tongcheng.
In order to rush back to Shengjing as soon as possible, he barely closed his eyes these days. When he saw Yan Wushuang, his eyes were red.
Yan Wushuang looked at his son like this, and felt a little distressed: "Don't worry about it at this moment."
"It's okay. Father, Uncle Qiu said that the Donghu people will withdraw their troops soon." After fighting for so long, the soldiers of Donghu didn't want to fight with countless casualties without taking Tongcheng down. I'm still insisting now, because they were all forced by King Donghu
Hearing this, Yan Wushuang's heart was slightly relieved: "I'm going to Xiangzhou in three days, and Shengjing will leave it to you."
When I came back, I got such an explosive news. However, Achi reacted a little, and asked: "Father, you want your children to supervise the country?"
Seeing Yan Wushuang nodded, Achi shook his head and said: "No, Father, this is absolutely impossible. I haven't had much contact with government affairs, how can I supervise the country?" He has been learning how to fight in Tongcheng for these years, and he has never studied government affairs!
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "If you can't learn, no one will be born with it."
Seeing Achi's lack of confidence, Yan Wushuang said: "You are not afraid of death, but you are not afraid of doing some daily affairs. The military spirit in Xiangzhou is floating, and I must go there in person." He went. In Xiangzhou, it will surely stabilize the military's morale.
Speaking of this, A Chi was very puzzled: "Father, why has the Ming army been silent until now?" If the Ming army sent troops, they would not be able to resist it. Let alone fight with Donghu people until now, I am afraid that Shengjing will not be protected now. This is not about arrogance, but a fact. Therefore, there is nothing to taboo.
"We fought with the Donghu people and hurt both, and they can take advantage of the fisherman's profit." This battle in Tongcheng has lost more than 300,000 soldiers and horses. If he wants to fight again, he will have no soldiers to use.
Achi frowned: "Father, do you mean that as soon as the Donghu people retreat, the Ming army will attack Xiangzhou?"
Yan Wushuang nodded: "Not only will Yun Qing send troops to attack Xiangzhou, Sheng Jing is afraid that there will be trouble."
Achi became less confident in guarding Shengjing.
Yan Wushuang said, "Don't worry about that. Once the battle in Shengjing is over, I will let Qiu Dajun transfer some of his troops back to Shengjing."
Achi hesitated and asked: "Father, I heard that the army wants to surrender us."
"Why? Want to surrender without a fight?"
Even if you want to surrender, you have to think about it without fighting back. How can you surrender without a fight, it would be too useless.
Achi said: "Father, they deliberately promoted this matter to the world, are they trying to deliberately disturb our military and people's minds?"
Yan Wushuang smiled: "Yes, it is false to surrender, and it is true to disturb the hearts of the army and the people."
In that case, why let the envoys enter Liaodong! There was a question in his mind, but A Chi did not ask.
"Father, do you think we can hold Shengjing?" They can hold Tongcheng because the Donghu people are brutal and bloodthirsty. If Tongcheng breaks through Liaodong, the people will be killed by them. In order to protect the peace of his parents, wives and children, as well as his hometown, the soldiers would rather defend Tongcheng to death. But the Ming army is different from the Donghu people. The Ming army is strictly disciplined and will not kill innocent people, and Yun Qing and Han Yuxi are benevolent. Now that the matter of recruiting and surrendering was added, the soldiers and the Ming army would definitely not rather die than retreat as they did in Tongcheng.
Yan Wushuang is very pleased to know what Achi thinks about Yan Wushuang. His son has learned through this experience: "So, I want to go to Xiangzhou myself." When he went to Xiangzhou, he might still find a chance. If you don't go, just wait for Yun Qing to hit Shengjing. If you don't drop by then, there will be only one death. But to die like this is too wasteful.
Achi didn't think that Yan Wushuang's going to Xiangzhou would change the ending, but he didn't stop it either. Do your best, if you can't stop it, there's no way. If you don't do anything and wait for them to hit Shengjing, it is not his father's temperament.
In the next three days, Yan Wushuang took A Chi to familiarize himself with the ministers, and explained the advantages and disadvantages of the ministers to A Chi in detail. As for government affairs, only a few words, not much to say.
Yan Wushuang didn't teach, and A Chi didn't ask either. Because he understands that if Xiangzhou can't hold back his government affairs, it will be useless. If Xiangzhou is defended, his father will come back to deal with it. During this time, he only needs to stabilize the situation in Shengjing.
Three days' time, fleeting.
Yan Wushuang said to A Chi, "If I have an accident, you will take A Bao and leave Shengjing with Meng Nian. As for where to go, Meng Nian will tell you when the time comes."
"I'm not going, Father, I'm not going anywhere. To live together and die together." He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that all his relatives will be gone and he will become an orphan.
Yan Wushuang put his hand on Ah Chi's shoulder, and said after a while: "Han Yuxi almost died in my hands. With her stubborn temperament, she will never let us go. If you don't leave with Abao, you have to Death. If you die, our Yan family will be the last. The Yan family has been loyal from generation to generation, and it must not be broken in my hands."
A Chi said hurriedly: "Father, you can let Meng Nian take your fourth brother out of Shengjing. The fourth brother is also your son, and you can also pass on the incense of the Yan family."
"If he can be as smart as you, I will definitely find ways to send him away. But he is not only useless, but also afraid of death. Do you think that if he leaves, he can live well?" I am afraid that he will not reach his destination. He was scared to death.
This time, it's probably a goodbye. Thinking of this, Achi's tears couldn't help but fell: "Father, I won't go, I won't go."
Yan Wushuang was also reluctant, but he had no choice: "Originally I wanted your mother and concubine to go with you. But your mother and concubine said that she wants to live and die with me, and would rather die than leave." This is also true. Explain to Achi why they only sent their brothers and sisters away instead of Yuchen.
A Chi hugged Yan Wushuang and cried bitterly: "Father..."
Yan Wushuang patted A Chi's back lightly, and said, "It doesn't matter if there is no one here, you can cry, but you can't do that in front of outsiders."
After crying for a while, A Chi stopped crying.
Yan Wushuang said, "Achi, at that point, you and Abao must live well, remember?" Death is easier than life. Had it not been for revenge to prevent the Yan family from breaking the incense, he would have died more than 30 years ago. There is no need to be tortured by those inhumans. But fortunately, God has treated him well and gave him such lovely, caring and filial children.
Achi nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, I will be fine with Abao."
After the father and son had finished speaking, Yan Wushuang went to Ruyi Palace. Seeing that the lights were still on in the bedroom, he knew that Yuchen hadn't slept yet.
Yuchen put down the clothes sewed in his hand, stood up and smiled and said: "The emperor, you are here." He smiled like a flower, as if he didn't know that Yan Wushuang was going to expedition tomorrow and might not come back.
They are all ready to die, and naturally they are fearless.
Yan Wushuang frowned and said, "Don't do this at night, hurt your eyes."
"It's just a few stitches." This is for Yan Wushuang. If you can't take it away tonight, maybe Yan Wushuang won't have the chance to wear it again.
Yan Wushuang leaned back on the chair and said, "You can press my shoulders again!" Habit is a terrible thing. Since he is accustomed to Yuchen's massage skills and soft-spoken words, he basically comes to Ruyi Palace instead of other palaces.
Yuchen stood up and kneaded Yan Wushuang's shoulders.
After a while, Yan Wushuang said, "Achi held me and cried for a long time today."
Yuchen's hand shook.
Yan Wushuang said, "If you and I are both dead, Abao and Achi will become orphans without father and mother. Yuchen, do you have the heart?"
Yuchen opened his mouth many times, but couldn't say a word.
"It's easier to die than to live. You and I know this. I can't escape, but you can follow the children. Yuchen, you will live well with the two children. If not, they think There will be a scar forever. It is very likely that they will not be happy for a lifetime. Yuchen, I don't want them to suffer the same pain as mine." In fact, even if their husband and wife are gone, Achi and Abao are with him, much better than he was in the past. Up. The reason why he said this was just to dispel Yu Chen's idea of dying with him.
Yuchen's tears fell to the ground: "The emperor, they have grown up."
"Where did you grow up? I'm only sixteen years old when I've made a fortune, and I still don't know anything. If you don't help them, why don't Achi's wife not be virtuous in the future, shouldn't he suffer? If it is Abao's marriage In the future, non-humans may wash their faces with tears every day. Yuchen, do you really have the heart to let them go?" A person has seven inches, and Achi and Abao are Yuchen's seven inches.
Yuchen was stunned: "Didn't Achi be married to Xueman? Achi left, don't you take Xueman with you?"
Yan Wushuang shook his head: "It is me that Yun Qing and Han Yuxi hate. As long as I die, Yi Yunqing's temperament will not anger the mountain, but will reuse him. Let Xueman follow Achi, but it will harm the child." Qiu Dashan has no personal grievances with Yun Qing, and they have been sticking to Tongcheng all these years. With Yun Qing's temperament, Qiu Dashan, who guards the territory, must be used a lot.
"The emperor, let me consider it." Will consider, in fact, it is loose.
Yan Wushuang did not give Yuchen time to consider: "Don't worry, I don't worry about them. At that time, you will leave Shengjing with Abao and Achi."
Yuchen didn't respond, and just sat beside crying.
"Yuchen, take good care of Abao and Achi." He told Achi that he was 30% sure that it was An Achi's heart. In fact, he was not sure at all.
Seeing Yuchen crying, Yan Wushuang said helplessly: "Don't cry, let's talk well. This time, it's probably a farewell."
Yuchen stopped tears.
Holding Yuchen's hands, Yan Wushuang said, "Before, I couldn't help you. If there is another life, I will treat you well." He would marry Yuchen for revenge, not for beauty. .
Yuchen's tears couldn't help falling again: "If I have my next life, I only want to live an ordinary and ordinary life with the emperor."
Hearing this, Yan Wushuang smiled; "Well, in the next life we will be an ordinary couple, and then we will raise A Bao and A Chi well."
