In the north of Yuguan County, there is a village.

There is a stream beside the village, and there are willow trees beside the stream, covered with autumn frost and dust.

This is a beautiful village, not much different from other villages in Datang.

There is a farmer in the village named Yingchen. He went to the battlefield and survived the battlefield. He used to be an ordinary soldier.

Yingchen had fought against the Eastern Turks, beheaded those Turkic barbarians, and many of the scars on his body were left on the battlefield.

In the past few years after retiring from the army, Yingchen married a wife and had children, cultivated the fields to support the family, and lived a very ordinary life without many worries.

Yingchen sometimes misses his days as a soldier.

Miss those tense days.

I miss drinking heavily at night after fighting with my brothers.

this day……

At the entrance of the village came the county yamen servant.

The yamen servants beat gongs and drums, pasted up the notice, and left in a hurry.

It happened to be noon at this time, and it was the time to eat and rest after finishing the farm work.

Therefore, the sound of the yamen servants beating gongs and drums attracted many villagers to watch.

Not many people at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty knew how to read, and Yingchen happened to be the one who didn't know how to read.

He could only scratch his head and wait for the literate people to explain whether there was any announcement.

However, when those literate people finished reading, they were all silent, and their faces became very ugly.

The above is the announcement... it is the battle report, conscription!

Yingchen didn't know what was written on it yet, seeing everyone's expressions, he became more and more anxious, grabbed someone's shoulder and shook it, only then did he know the answer.

"Western Turks invaded with 15 iron cavalry, and Tang Zheng's young and strong men..."

There is still a lot of content in the announcement, requiring the people in the frontier to evacuate as quickly as possible, soldiers from all states organize defenses on the spot, and recruit men with military experience...

Some people were worried and asked whether the Western Turkic cavalry would attack here.

But no one responded, and the incident of one hundred thousand cavalry hitting Weishui in the ninth year of Wude came to mind.

The crowd dispersed slowly, and everyone left here with heavy faces.

Yingchen has been very silent.

He was the last to leave.

Before leaving, I watched the notice over and over again, even if I couldn't understand it.

Yingchen returned home and took out the leftover fried soybeans from last night as a gift, but the more he drank, the more bored he became.

The wife was drying the clothes at the door, but found that her man hadn't spoken for a long time, so she couldn't help but looked at him strangely.

"Drink by yourself?" His wife asked curiously.

"Well, just drink if you feel bored."

Yingchen hummed and continued drinking.

"Then you ask me to fry some dishes, what are a few soybeans?"

The wife complained and opened her mouth, gave Yingchen a blank look, thinking about cooking some dishes for the man.

Yingchen hummed again, it was nothing, and drank gulp after gulp.

The more he drank, the more silent he seemed, but the brighter his eyes became.

The wife sighed, put the last two pieces of clothes on the air, and prepared to fry two special dishes.

"Mother, I'm leaving home for a while." Suddenly, Yingchen said to his wife.

"Ah?" The wife stopped, looked up at him, and said doubtfully.

"Those Turkic bastards came to harass our Tang Dynasty again, I want to kill a few."

Yingchen recounted the contents of the announcement.

"Every time I have a drink, I like to talk nonsense," the wife muttered.

She didn't take Yingchen's words seriously at all.

Thinking that Yingchen was drinking crazy, he continued to go to the kitchen to prepare stir-fry.

"I'm not talking nonsense. It's written in the announcement. Men who have served in the army, as long as they don't exceed 45, they will be recruited."

After a moment of silence, Yingchen opened his mouth with a buzzing sound.

He drank another sip of wine and became more determined in his mind.

"You are already 45, what else can you fight?"

Only then did the wife discover that what the man said was really not about drinking.

She couldn't help but feel a little cautious with her hands and didn't know how to put them down, so she said nervously.

"Who said I can't? Am I not very strong?"

Yingchen was very dissatisfied, and pulled up his sleeves to reveal the muscles on his arms.

"But...but, what's the use of you going alone?"

The wife trembled and said, her face turned pale.

"Who said I went alone?"

"Zhang San, Li Si and Wang Wu will definitely go too."

"Thousands of thousands of soldiers who have retreated from the Tang Dynasty will definitely go too."

Yingchen spoke angrily.

His tone seemed firm and confident.

Yingchen believes that the brothers who retired before will definitely reunite again.

"Father, come quickly, Daying is drunk and crazy!"

The more the wife listened, the more disturbed she became. Feeling that she couldn't persuade her man, she screamed into the next room.

"Shout what?"

"What do you call dad for such a trivial matter?"

Yingchen slammed the table hard, and the splash of soybeans fell to the ground.

But just at this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open with a creak, and a stooped old man walked in with a cane;

"Father, Da Ying got drunk and said that he was going to fight, please persuade him quickly."

The wife trembled and spoke.

She was worried about her man and didn't want him to go.

In this family, only his father-in-law can talk to his man.

The wife looked at the father-in-law tearfully, hoping that the father-in-law could keep his man.

"Father, I'm a retired soldier. If I don't go at this time, I can't..."

Yingchen walked around the back of his head and spoke in a whisper.

He was very strong and tall, but at this time he kept his head down obediently, just like when he made a mistake when he was a child.

"Go as soon as you want, go early and return early, it's not a problem."

"If Dad is not 65 now, or 45, Dad will go with you."

The old man knocked on the floor with his cane, and spoke disapprovingly.

He is also a person who has been on the battlefield, and the blood on his body is not cold.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move, he would have set off with a sickle in hand.

The wife squirmed her mouth, tears fell down, and went out to kill a chicken and cook a meal to see him off.

Daughters-in-law in the country usually have this kind of temperament, and when they see that they cannot be changed, they accept it silently.

at the dinner table...

Today's meal is as rich as the Chinese New Year.

The two children in the family, a boy and a girl, are feasting.

The son asked, "Father, where are you going?"

Yingchen replied: "Father is going to fight."

The daughter quickly interjected: "Father, we must win."

Yingchen giggled, rubbed her hair with his big hands and said, "Then we must win."

……

village entrance...

More than 100 people gathered here.

Most of the people were dressed as farmers, and none of them wore Tang Jun's costumes.

These people are a bit older, holding all kinds of strange weapons in their hands.

For example, Yingchen held a sickle in his hand, some people held a hammer in their hands, and most of them held a horizontal knife in their hands.

The sharp horizontal knife is Tang Jun's weapon.

But these people are obviously not Tang Jun.

good……

They are not Tang Jun.

But they used to be the Han army.

They have been discharged from the army, and now they are farmers and businessmen.

When the country needs them, they are Tang Jun.

Chapter 222 A Bowl of White Porridge in the Morning

Chang'an City...

Yang Fei woke up early in the morning.

However, what surprised Yang Fei was that Princess Changle had already woken up, and the bedside was empty.

Generally speaking, Princess Changle wakes up relatively late.

This is not to say that Princess Changle stays in bed, but that she is exhausted from being tortured by Yang Fei every night, so she wakes up a little late.

But today he woke up before Yang Fei got up, which really surprised Yang Fei.

Yang Fei got up, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and was about to ask Sister Meiyan to prepare breakfast.

But at this moment, a beautiful figure walked out from the kitchen.

"Husband, are you awake?!"

It was the voice of Princess Changle.

She held a wooden plate in her hand, on which was a bowl of porridge with some pickles on the side.

"Changle, you got up so early to cook porridge?"

Yang Fei spoke in surprise.

Princess Changle usually wakes up very late, and most of the breakfast is cooked by servants.

You actually got up early today to make breakfast for him?

This had to make Yang Fei puzzled.

Could it be that he has changed his temper?
