Cannon Fodder Strategy

But when Zhang Hongyi opened the water tank, he found that there was not much water in it. He remembered that when he came back last time, the tank was still half full. At that time, he still trusted him to entrust Lu Liu to take care of his wife and children. Unexpectedly, Lu Liu would dare to do this in just a few days!

Thinking of this, Zhang Hongyi threw the lid away with a sullen face, picked up the pole on the wall and left without even taking the bucket, looking as if he was going to find someone to settle the score with.

In the middle of the night, Lily saw his behavior and asked him:

"What are you doing?"

He remained silent and tilted his head to look at the rice vat. There was some rice in the vat, but not much. Zhang Hongyi clenched his fists and cursed:

"That bitch, Lu Liu, tricked me into joining the army and said he would take care of you, but now it's only been a few days and I haven't picked up enough water or rice to buy anything. Do you dare to neglect you because I'm not at home? ? I have become a sworn brother with him. I didn’t expect this bitch of his to be so bold. I have to break his legs in front of his mother today!" Zhang Hongyi was anxious and angry at this time. If Lu was the one who joined the army that day Six, if Lu Liu entrusted his mother to him, Zhang Hongyi would naturally serve him as his own mother. He originally thought that Lu Liu would be like him, but he didn't expect to see that there was no rice or water at home. Naturally, he was anxious.

He was originally a quick-tempered person, but more than a year of life in the army had made him even more aggressive. Now he was about to rush out the door when he found something was wrong. When Lily heard what he said, her original movement to stand up was sudden. Sat down.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Hongyi felt something was wrong and turned around to look. Seeing Lily sitting in front of the stove, her brows slightly furrowed, her face expressionless and silent, she immediately panicked: "Did someone bully you?"

When I wanted to join the army, it was because I wanted to have a bright future. Now I have a bright future, but I originally wanted this kind of future for the sake of my family, my brothers and my wife. If Zhang Hongyi had to say it himself, he would rather stay here This place is Yingzhou. Being a useless butcher for the rest of his life. I originally went out to pursue my future. Now everything is going well, which is not bad. There is someone to take care of his wife at home, and he has planned how many years he will work. Save some money. Then he told Deng Zhizhou that he was going to retire and return to his hometown. Come back and have a baby.

But now Lily's expression made Zhang Hongyi feel that something was wrong. He felt like a little rabbit in his heart and asked uneasily: "What's wrong?"

"You probably can't break his legs in front of his mother." Lily endured her feelings and saw Zhang Hongyi's mouth wide open when he heard her words, looking confused and confused, and sighed: "Lu Liu And his mother is gone."

He also smiled stupidly, "hehe":

"What do you mean it's gone?"

"The mother and son are dead. I have arranged the funeral. I just don't know where you are and I can't notify you." Lily took a handful of firewood and stuffed it into the stove. When Zhang Hongyi heard this, he felt that it was early spring in January or February. The weather was suddenly as cold as if we were in the cold winter of December.

A chill shot up from the soles of his feet. He was a big man. No matter how cold he was in the past, he had never been like this before. His body began to sway slightly.

Goosebumps appeared layer by layer on his body. His hand used to be able to hold down a fat pig, and he could chop off a barbarian's head with a single blow when carrying a pair of axes on the battlefield, but now he couldn't hold the light hook of the pole. The blood all over his body flowed rapidly, making him feel cold all over. The thing in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, hitting the toes of his black-soled cloth shoes. He opened his mouth and couldn't shout. With the word 'pain', it seemed that the whole person was unconscious.

"Who, who, who the fuck..." His voice was trembling, he couldn't say a complete sentence, and his whole body was tense.

The rice in the pot is boiling, steaming, there is a fire in the room, the aroma of rice is mixed with the heat of firewood, it should be warm as spring and relaxing, but at this time Zhang Hongyi seems to be in a In the torrent, he trembled his lips and couldn't utter a complete sentence. His heart was empty and his hands were shaking violently.

Lily sighed silently, stuffed the firewood into the stove, and then clapped her hands. She stood up and walked towards Zhang Hongyi, reaching out to pull him. He held her tightly like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw. .

In the past, no matter how cold it was, his palms were always dry and warm, but now they were cold and hard, like stone. He held Lily a little too hard, causing some pain. Lily let him hold on tightly, and wrapped her other hand around his waist, patting her gently like coaxing a child:

"There is always something to do with the eldest son of the Ye family of Nanping Marquis. Don't worry. You can't avenge yourself now. You will be able to avenge yourself one day. As you said, you are still young, and Nanping Marquis was not born. It's Nanpinghou." As soon as she told what happened that day, Zhang Hongyi trembled all over and held her tightly in his arms. Drops of water fell on her head and sank into the root of her hair, like a rain shower. As if, he was silent and didn't even want her to see his tearful side, so Lily pretended not to know.

His suppressed sadness is far more heart-wrenching than loud wailing.

Lily cooked rice that night, but Zhang Hongyi couldn't eat anything. The two sat for a long time. The next day, instead of leaving before dawn like last time, he went to get some wine. Everyone in the city knew about Zhang Hongyi's return, and also knew about his sworn brother Lu Liu. Seeing his gloomy face, no one dared to breathe.

Lu Liu's mother and son were buried on a slope outside the city. Zhang Hongyi sat in front of the simple grave, laid out the incense candles, paper money, and patted the seal of the wine jar:

"Good brother, I almost misunderstood you. Go with peace of mind. One day, your eldest brother will avenge this revenge on you even at the risk of his life! I will inherit the incense of the Lu family for you. From now on, my son will be your son. Just like you used to respect your sister-in-law as your mother!"

He had already been sad last night, and his expression was so calm that it made people's hearts tremble. His eyes were red, and for the first time, his honest face showed a fierce and ruthless look. He picked up the wine jar and took a big sip. Then his cheek muscles twitched and he smashed the wine jar in front of the grave. With a bang, the jar broke into pieces, and the wine spilled all over the grave. It was also stained on his clothes and trousers. Zhang Hongyi narrowed his eyes:

"I didn't have much time to drink with you before. Who would have thought that you, a short-lived piece of shit, wouldn't wait for my brother to come back and drink with you." After he said it, his voice choked up, and he took a deep breath, holding back. Living.

Seeing this scene, Lily walked far away. Zhang Hongyi stayed for nearly half an hour before getting up and walking towards Lily.

The weather in Yingzhou in February was still a bit cold. It rained continuously in the morning. Lily was wearing a green jacket. There was a lot of white drizzle on her head and body. Her face was a little blue from the cold and her lips were missing. color.

There was a look of love in Zhang Hongyi's eyes. He reached out and touched Lily's head with a gentle tone:

"Are you cold?" He seemed to have changed a bit from before. He was still smiling when he came back last night. After everything happened this time, he seemed to have matured a lot overnight: "Lu Liu and others, I and others, have been together since we were young. We got to know each other while wearing crotchless pants, and they hung out together all day long. He was beaten by his mother several times because of this. His mother used to say that he was not doing his job properly, and he finally found a job in a government office, but he ended up like this with us every day. The local gangsters hang out together, and every time they see us, his mother always chases us with a stick and beats us, saying that we have taught her old man’s son a bad way.”

He seemed to be in a good conversation today, with a smile on his face when he spoke. He was probably recalling past scenes, and his eyes were slightly bright. Lily remained silent and listened quietly with her lips pursed as he recalled the past.

Her tenderness made Zhang Hongyi's heart seem to be filled with ripples on the lake. He always wanted to do something. Holding her hand was not enough, and hugging her tightly seemed to lack some warmth. He endured it again and again. , there is a bit of ferocity in the corners of the eyes and eyebrows:

"Daughter-in-law, whether you admit to marrying me or not, this time you will bury Lu Liu as his sister-in-law and pay his last respects to his mother. In the eyes of my surnamed Zhang, you are already mine. I will wait for you later. When I have free time, I will ask my adoptive father to make the decision and arrange the marriage for us and settle the matter." After hearing what he said, Lily tilted her head and looked at him. His eyes did not dodge, his face was not red, he was not out of breath, and he was calm. Staring at her, his eyes were full of determination:

"You can't escape, even if you don't want to. My surname Zhang has the reputation of robbing civilian women, and you are mine too." When he said this, he was still smiling, and his face that used to look fierce, There seemed to be something extra at this time, an indescribable smell.

He has hidden Lu Liu's death in his heart. If he doesn't mention it now, it doesn't mean he has forgotten it. The deeper he hides it, the more vicious he will be when he breaks out in the future. As for the wedding, Lily frowned and said nothing. He was not prepared to wait for Lily's answer. He took her and walked towards home. This time, he no longer said anything about buying anything. It was time to buy floral shoes and satin jewelry. Lily closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The air was full of damp and cold smell.

Zhang Hongyi stayed at home for two days this time. Every day he would buy jars of wine and sit on Luliu's tomb for a long time. When he came back, he would fill the water jar and buy a large jar of rice.

Now he can no longer control whether he enters the battlefield or not. He wants to avenge Lu Liu. The heroic path that Ye Er mentioned at the beginning was not that easy to follow.

It was not until two days later that Deng Zhizhou sent soldiers to invite him that he left.

After leaving for half a year, the prince rebelled, and at the same time, the Pan family in Huainan also rebelled. Two years after the new emperor came to the throne, his foundation was too weak. In the face of this rebellion, he had no choice but to borrow troops from several other prefectures. At this critical moment, Deng Zhizhou borrowed 40,000 troops from the imperial court and appointed his adopted son Zhang Hongyi as the capital. Knowing the military envoy, he will lead the troops north to help the new emperor and eliminate the remnants of the deposed prince. (To be continued...)
