Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 128 On the road

Shuzhong, where the imperial court of Dashuo Dynasty moved to. read

When Lu Bocheng heard that troops were to be organized to clear up Chang'an, he took the initiative to volunteer.

Years ago, Lu Bocheng suppressed the rebels in Yunzhou. In that battle, due to improper command of the supervisory army, most of his soldiers were lost. In the end, they broke out from the rebel encirclement with less than a thousand troops.

Finally, Cui Sheng brought the remaining soldiers and horses of the three captains back to Shuzhong.

The brothers who used to laugh, curse, joke with each other, and talk dirty words together under Lu Bocheng's eyes, overnight, could never come back. Lu Bocheng didn't say a word for more than a month while he was recovering from his injuries. Everyone thought he had hurt his throat. He was still so cold that you would get frostbite within one meter of him.

Cui Sheng was considerate of him and just let him rest in peace and recuperate, not letting complicated and trivial matters disturb him.

Cui Sheng also secretly resented that his three captains sent a forward team of nearly 20,000 troops, but only half of them came back. Three captains, one dead, one seriously injured and one slightly injured. His favorite, the invincible future God of War Lu Bocheng, was carried back when he came back. He was covered in blood holes, and he thought he would not be able to survive.

Fortunately, he survived in the end.

Cui Sheng wanted to ask the emperor to investigate the supervisor's crimes. But unexpectedly, the emperor took refuge in Shu under the protection of the eunuch Liu Lingzi. He valued Liu Lingzi even more, and the eunuchs under him were frequently promoted and promoted, and they were all reused.

Cui Sheng could only feel depressed in his heart.

This time we will launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against Chang'an. In view of the disastrous defeat last time, no general dared to take the lead in the battle. Cui Sheng was also depressed and did not come forward. It wasn't until the emperor was furious that Cui Sheng came out, but the requirement was that he would not bring any supervisors with him.

The emperor agreed without much hesitation. But Liu Lingzi, who was standing next to the emperor, looked at him deeply.

After Cui Sheng returned to his account, Lu Bocheng, who learned the news, volunteered to lead a team to Chang'an to suppress the rebels. Cui Sheng knew what he was feeling and agreed.

Although there was no supervisory army, the emperor's last thought was to order Mu Congke, the leader of the Tuotu tribe, to lead his troops with him and divide them into two groups as a safe strategy.

Cui Sheng frowned, but Lu Bocheng didn't care. He just wanted to avenge his previous humiliation and repay the shame of Yunzhou where many brothers buried their bones in the previous battle.

Cui Sheng said earnestly: "Bo Cheng, I know you are eager to win this time, but you must not lose your sense of proportion. This time, the Fengxiang Army's Military Envoy and the Xuanwu Army's Military Envoy said they would support us..."

"I will not ask Jiedushi for help again."

In the last battle of Yunzhou, the entire army was almost wiped out. Lu Bocheng asked for help from Hezhong Prefecture and Yan Haijun Jiedu respectively, but was cruelly rejected.

Every time Lu Bocheng thought about how he humbly went to ask for help from others and was rejected, and when he looked back and saw his brothers dying one by one in front of his eyes, no one could understand the pain in his heart and eyes.

You still have to be strong enough that others have to take you seriously, so that your dignity will not be trampled on.

Cui Sheng sighed deeply: "On the battlefield, only surviving is the most important thing. Everything else is just a drop in the ocean and not worth mentioning." Even if you have to endure the humiliation, you have to endure it before life and death.

Lu Bocheng said nothing.

After receiving the military order, he worked day and night on the school field to hone himself. He looked like a soulless god of murder. The man and the gun merged into one, which frightened Liu Changsheng, the soldier.

Only Lu Bocheng knew that he had to become stronger and stay alive. Only when he is alive can he have the chance to see his wife.

On the other side, Su Qingyu and her family traveled for another two days, and everyone was in good condition along the way.

None of the children had ever traveled far, and they chattered excitedly along the way. They often crowded into the same car, talking and playing around.

Sometimes I think the bullock cart is too slow, so I go down to the ground and chase and play around in the bullock cart. Xiaobao can't walk. He screams anxiously when he sees everyone laughing and laughing.

Su's father picked him up and put him on the back of the cow. The child stopped. He clapped his little hands and swayed his little feet in excitement. He was so excited that he looked around to see if he was tired. He was not happy even when he was carried into the carriage.

Children don't know what it's like to be sad. They are happiest when they are with their parents and family. The adults in the group were also infected by them, and the sadness buried in their hearts dissipated a little.

The further south we go, the more people we see on the road with their wives and children, carrying luggage, pushing and pulling. Some even come in groups, and people from a large family or a village can often be seen. They are all people who came out to escape the war.

Walking on the road, everyone will look at each other and size each other up. At this time, everyone is worried about something happening to them. But fortunately these two days have been relatively peaceful.

Su Qingyu and his party mostly went out at dawn and at night. When the sun was shining brightly, everyone took the less traveled path, found dense forests, and rested away from the crowds. When the sun sets, I rush out at night.

We all come from farmers' families and are used to eating and sleeping in the open. The children were well taken care of by the adults. They had enough to eat and sleep, and they didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Su Qingnao was originally worried about Xiaobao because he was too young and worried that something might happen to him. Unexpectedly, the child was still alive and kicking after two days, which made Su Qingnao feel relieved.

Because the oxcart moves slowly, the ride is not too bumpy. When your legs feel numb, you get off and walk around, and when you feel tired, you get on the cart. Now that women can also drive, Su's father and others get in the car to sleep when they are tired, and let women drive. It has been two days and everyone has adapted well.

On this day, a group of people arrived at a small town. Su Qingyu decided to take a rest in the town and make some supplies.

After finding a tea shop, a group of people quickly filled the empty seats in the tea shop. The boss saw a large group of people coming and came to serve them very attentively.

The guests in the teahouse were all staring at them. Seeing that they were a group of men, women, old and young, they wondered if they were going to visit relatives.

"Yes, yes, we are going to visit relatives in the south. Our family was hit by a locust plague and can't survive."

Aunt Su was quick and efficient. She pretended to be sad when answering the boss's question.

The boss and the guests nodded in understanding.

"It's still better here, with good weather and good harvests. Dongting Lake hasn't flooded in the past two years. The locust plague in the north, tut tut, it's killing people."

"Didn't we have a locust plague two years ago? Why is it coming again this year? The north is really not a place for people to live."

A few people sighed after hearing this, and someone else said, "Isn't it good? This year, my grain has sold for several times the price of previous years. If there was no disaster, would our grain be sold so expensively?"

Someone agreed, "That's right. I heard that the northern grain merchants are here to collect grain again. Do you have any grain?"

"I don't have much. I want to stock up the remaining ones. Maybe the grain price will rise again. I heard that it's not just the locust plague, but there will be another war in the north." A guest whispered.

After being told this, everyone looked at them again.

Could they be hiding from military service?
