Chapter 613
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the heat fades early and the autumn coolness has arrived. Especially at night, the autumn night is even cooler as water.
After saying love words to Ya'er in the middle of the night and tucking the corner of the quilt for her who had fallen asleep, Sun Tu walked out of the door gently, and then saw Hu Rong who was waiting on the porch outside the door at a glance.
At this time, Hu Rong, who had just become a wife for a while, was less heroic than before, but more gentle, especially when she bit her lip and swept her thin phoenix eyes over, it made people feel even more heart-warming. Seeing Sun Tu come out, Hu Rong hurriedly approached: "Third brother, has Ya'er gone to bed? Then you tonight..." Although she had not finished speaking, the invitation was already obvious.
Sun Tu also moved his index finger, and immediately hugged the other party's slender waist, half-held it and walked into the bedroom not far away with Hu Rong. Soon, a breathing sound that made people's face beat enthusiastically, and it didn't stop for a long time.
It was not until the third update that the two stopped moving and hugged each other and leaned against each other. Hu Rong even snuggled her whole body into Sun Tu's arms. While drawing a circle on her husband's chest with her fingers, she whispered: "Third Brother, do you really decide to set out for Jiangnan tomorrow? Can you bring me with you too?"
Sun Tu kissed her forehead gently and then said softly: "August is over, and the time is too late. I will set off tomorrow morning. Now Ya'er is in such a situation. I really don't want to leave her alone at home, so Rong'er asks you to stay here to take care of her."
Hu Rong's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but soon nodded with a smile: "Since my third brother has made the decision, I will naturally listen to you. With me taking care of Ya'er at home, you can go with peace of mind."
"It's great to have you." Sun Tu sighed sincerely. But before he could feel sad, Hu Rong, who had been as sludge as before, suddenly turned over and pressed on him again, and said in a delicate voice: "Third brother, you love me again, I will be pregnant with your flesh and blood like Ya'er..."
Well, once she learned that she could not accompany her husband to Jiangnan, she simply wanted to squeeze the person out directly. The beauty was so kind, so Sun Tu naturally had to take effect. She immediately reached out to hug her, and a storm broke out again...
When it was dawn, Sun Tu woke up on time, while Hu Rong forced himself to wear clothes and uniforms for his sore body because of the night of madness and a sword given by the court. After carefully examining the heroic outfit of his husband, Hu Rong reluctantly stepped forward and kissed him again, and then opened the door with him and walked outside.
Outside the door, Ya'er, with a big belly, was already standing in front of the porch accompanied by a maid. When she saw her, Hu Rong's pretty face turned red. She felt embarrassed to be caught by the owner after stealing something. She could only scream softly: "Yaer, why did you get up so early?" Japan promised that Sun Tu would accompany her, but she turned the husband into her room.
Ya'er smiled pursed her lips and said, "The third brother is going to go on the battle again. I don't know when I will come back this time, so I'm naturally coming to see him off."
"Ah? Have you known about this before?" Hu Rong said in surprise. In fact, in order not to worry about Ya'er, Sun Tu hid the fact that he was about to go south to Jiangnan. But he didn't expect that he could not hide it from this person next to him.
Ya'er slowly came to Sun Tu and looked up at him: "Third brother, I know you are giving me a child, but I am your wife, why do you hide it from me in this kind of thing?"
"Ya'er is wrong..." Sun Tu hugged her gently, "Since that's the case, you must be well at home during this period of time, take good care of your body, and don't think too much. When I return triumphantly, I will see you and our children again."
"Well... Ya'er and Sister Rong will wait for you to come back at home." Ya'er said, leaning her head gently in Sun Tu's arms. After a while, she moved away, then turned slightly and said, "Third Brother, go slowly..."
Sun Tu heard that her nasal voice became extremely heavy, and knew that she must have been crying at this time, but he still hardened his heart. After taking a deep breath, he walked out with great strides. Because he was worried that once he really comforted Ya'er, he would have the idea of not wanting to leave with a heartache and soft heart. Gentlem is a hero's tomb, and this is not just a saying.
This time, even Hu Rong's eyes were red. She did not accompany Sun Tu out of the house, but only sent him to the Hanhua Gate in the back house, and stopped: "Third Brother, you must return safely and triumphantly."
"I will, you wait for me!" After saying this, Sun Tu strode forward without looking back. After getting on the horse, he quickly ran away from his home. He only left two wives and a servant in the first yard to watch him disappear from a distance at the end of the long street...
On this morning, the city of Qingzhou was filled with farewell words and tears. Thousands of local soldiers in Qingzhou were about to leave their hometowns and embark on the southern expedition. This was an inseparable love for every family. Because this time, they were not fighting against the mountain bandits in Shandong, but were going to the distant Jiangnan to fight against the real thief army. After this, no one knew whether their husband and son could return safely.
Therefore, at this time, you can always see sad scenes at the streets and alleys of Qingzhou. Wifees bid farewell to their husbands with tears in their eyes. A pair of elderly parents whispered to their sons and sent them out. Then when they turned around, they cried and cried.
The carriages, horses, and pedestrians, bows and arrows were all on their waists. My wife walked to see each other, but the dust was gone and the Xianyang Bridge was gone.
The people were reluctant to leave, but the people in Qingzhou did not stop their male subordinates from following Sun Qian to Jiangnan because they believed in Sun Tu and knew that he would definitely lead everyone to victory and bring their soldiers back to Qingzhou safely.
After a long journey, we saw each other farewell. It was not until the sun was at its peak. When Si was approaching, nearly 20,000 soldiers gathered in the campground of the military camp, waiting for Sun Tu's lecture and waiting for him to give the final order to set off.
Sun Tu soon appeared in front of everyone. At this time, there was a trumpet-shaped object in his hand that looked a bit strange. He did not delay too much, so he put it to his mouth. Then, the loud sound that almost every soldier present could clearly hear from the speaker spread out:
"My soldiers from Shandong, today, Sun Tu will lead everyone out of the land of Qilu and go to Jiangnan to fight the thieves! Some people may be puzzled. Even though all the bandits in our Shandong have been all the way, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to kill the enemies for the sake of the thieves elsewhere? Then I will tell you that since the founding of the Song Dynasty, I have been facing powerful enemies all the time. Now Fangla in Jiangnan is in chaos, which is just a strong enemy we are going to face. In the future, I will take everyone to fight against the Jurchens and the Khitans, and wipe out the strong enemies that endanger the safety of our Han people. All of this will begin this southern expedition. You tell me loudly, will my army of war win this southern expedition?"
Suddenly, some soldiers below roared loudly: "Our army will win!" Then, the sound spread and thousands of soldiers roared loudly: "It will win! It will win!" The sound reached the sky and spread to all directions, which boosted the spirit of the Qingzhou people, who were originally full of separation and parting. At some point, there were also bursts of "It will win" calls everywhere in the city, echoing the military camp, making the morale of the entire army rise again, and no longer the worries and fears of the previous separation.
"Okay! What I want is your spirit. Even if the rebels are powerful, I believe that with the might of our Shandong army, we will be able to quell the riots and give me a bright world in Jiangnan!" Sun Tu shouted with satisfaction: "The whole army obeys the order and set off!"
"Here!" Twenty thousand soldiers responded in unison, and then, in the order of each battalion and team, under the leadership of their respective generals, walked out of the barracks and walked towards the city gates, following the familiar long streets, under the eyes of the people on both sides, and walked out of the Qingzhou City that they had guarded for several years.
This time, Sun Tu brought out all the elite soldiers and generals under his command, including scout camps, camps, vanguard camps, and newly built cavalry battalions... Each battalion was led by generals who had been fighting for a long time. Lin Chong, Wu Song, Dong Ping, Shi Qian, Yang Zhi... These loyal subordinates who had followed him for the longest entered their camps. As for the newly surrendered people such as Song Jiang, they were all included in the central army camp, and were commanded by Sun Tu, the head of the three armies. In terms of logistics, there were old people such as Zhu Wu and Qi Desheng, who were really good generals, elite soldiers were like rain, and the power of the army was unprecedented in Shandong.
Especially when Sun Tu brought the cavalry battalion team with a secret stake of about 300 people, the combat effectiveness of the entire Shandong soldiers rolled up. In this era when the Song Dynasty was generally short of horses, no single army could bring out a group of hundreds of elite cavalry, and this cavalry team was also named the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry by him. The general led by him was the former 800,000 imperial guards in charge, Lin Chong, the leopard head who had an unparalleled skill in Qingzhou City.
Of course, in addition to this cavalry team, Sun Tu also left the most mysterious man in the central army. Unless he encountered a real strong enemy, he would always hold this trump card in his hands, because this team used firearms that had never been seen in this era!
Only the Detachment of Women with the lowest combat power and some of the people who had not recovered from their previous injuries were left in Qingzhou. The one who was in Qingzhou and cooperated with Huang Wenbing to defend the local area was Han Tao, the Yum general who was entrusted with important tasks by Sun Tu!
Everything was arranged according to Sun Tu's wishes, and he believed that this southern expedition would surely achieve the final victory.
