In Yongjifang, Youjing, just dawn, smoke from cooking was already rising in the houses in the shop. Many women at home got up early with tears in their eyes and rolled the noodles into cakes.

The smoke from cooking cooking rose and floated in the morning mist.

Chen Asi got up early, scooped a scoop of rice washing water and put it into a wooden basin, then messed up the bun on his head, and carefully washed it with rice washing water.

After applying it dry, Chen Asi tied his hair with a wooden hairpin and then wrapped it with a headscarf.

"A Si!" An old woman stood up on the bed.

"Mom!" Chen Asi hurriedly stepped forward to support the old woman. The old woman's eyes were blind. She worked as a female worker for the Lu family when she was young, and stayed up late under the lamp and hurt her eyes.

Now the Chen A-Si family has only mother and son, and a younger brother who depends on each other for their own life.

"A Si, just leave and don't worry about me. The Party leader has agreed that you can go to the war, and the third sister next door will take care of me."

Chen Asi lowered his head and said, "Mom, I'm really worried about leaving you alone at home. If my brother doesn't come back, I'll serve you."

The old woman closed her eyes and touched Chen Asi's head and said, "Silly, this is such a rare opportunity. The emperor wants to conquer the Tang Dynasty and change all the village soldiers to the palace soldiers. Son, when you were in the village soldiers, you were the mate commander, and you still became the mate commander among the government soldiers. What a great thing you can earn an additional salary of fifty cents a month. And if you become a military official, you will be an official in the future. If you become a lieutenant in the future, you will have the chance to be a marquis and have the opportunity to make a name for yourself."

Chen Asi shed tears slightly.

The old woman said, "Our family is a double-den household. Although according to the court system, single-den households are exempt from tax on duty, and double-den households only pay one-den household tax, our family has military citizenship and can be exempted from tax on duty, so our family does not have to pay money. You add your brother's salary and your mother saves money. This time, the civil debt is 5% interest, and the court's 200,000 guan, and even the big households are robbing it. Your mother finally asked your uncle to buy five-den officers. This fall, if you and your brother come back, our family can change a house and have money to marry you."

Chen Asi nodded and said, "It's been a good life now, and I want to make more money for you to take care of yourself."

The old woman smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. I have been much better if I haven't eaten bran and vegetables in the past few years."

At this time, the bell rang outside the door. Someone said, "It's time for Brother Chen."

Chen Asi looked at the old woman and said, "Mom, I'm leaving."

The old woman held Chen Asi's hand tightly in her hand and said, "Be careful and take care of your brother."

"knew."

Chen Asi pushed the door open and out, and many of the children of Yongjifang in the market went out.

Yongjifang was originally the West Street of Youjing, and they were all lived by poor people. Chen Asi and many of the children of Yongjifang were all in the village soldiers, and they were trained while garrisoning the farm.

In the third year of military farming, Chen Asi killed a Turkic man with a partner for his last Turkic invasion, and was promoted to gang leader for military merits.

This time, the imperial court ordered that all the 20,000 rural soldiers who had served in the six counties of Youyan for three years were assigned to the government army. Chen Asi also joined the Zhao army's government army. In the Zhao army's government army, he could receive three dou of rice and a salary of fifty cents a month.

His younger brother also soldiered from the government army to the middle school, and he had a salary of five dollars per month.

The two brothers joined the government soldiers together, which also allowed the family to live a life of food and clothing. However, this time the court decided to conquer the Tang Dynasty, and the two brothers who were incorporated into the government soldiers also had to go to the war together.

Chen Asi and his children in the yard bid farewell to their family. Many of them were stuffed with jackets woven by their families overnight and sewed straw sandals. The family sent them to the yard and stuffed the white cakes into their children's hands, with tears in their eyes.

Chen Asi's new jacket was also stitched by his blind mother, with fine stitches and warm clothes. The cold wind in Youjing early spring was not cold at all.

Now he also joined the crowd of soldiers. After leaving the gate, Chen Asi passed two streets and came to the village garrison in the west of the city, which has now been changed to Yingyang Mansion.

There were crowds of people in front of the mansion, and Chen Asi saw the head of the village at a glance. He was now the captain of Yingyang Mansion.

"College Captain, what do you have to do?"

"Chen A Si, OK, you'll be ready to take a few people to the arsenal to get me a hundred armor. Damn, I'm so busy."

"One Hundred Armors?" Chen A-si was stunned.

The captain scolded: "The idiot told you to go, you go."

After Chen Asi was scolded, he ran away. In the past, when he was a village soldier, he had no armor. The military uniforms of the village soldier were ordinary jackets, which were changed every three years, and at most they were cloth armor, and they had no defense.

The generals were just wearing armor and could not even protect them from arrows.

Chen Asi arrived at the arsenal and said to Sicang, who was sweating profusely, "Niu, I'm here to get the armor."

Niu Chanjun said, "Why did you come? Don't wait for this hundred-leaved iron armor, just take it away."

Brothers Chen A Si and others entered the arsenal and all their mouths grew up. These were the two best armors, the Mingguang armor.

Eight hundred soldiers in the village can be assigned to one hundred armors.

"College Captain, the armor is here."

The captain looked at Chen Asi and said, "The above-mentioned mate is a leader, and fifty swords and shield soldiers are also a leader."

"promise."

When Chen Asi changed into iron armor, they were all happy. The craftsmen who came with the army modified it for Chen Asi, and if some of the armor leaves were damaged, they would be replaced. Chen Asi put on the armor and then gestured at the Sui sword with him, which was quite like an officer.

"Okay, the whole team is here, the college lieutenant is going to give a lecture."

The captain looked at the soldiers on both sides and nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is a bit like this. Okay, don't hesitate anymore, have you explained to your family?"

The soldiers nodded one after another.

The high school captain said, "It's good to explain it. I'm a rough man and I can't say anything beautiful. I can only tell you that when I go to Luoyang, I'm fighting with Li Tang. I heard that the Guanzhong soldiers are very good at fighting, but our Youzhou soldiers have not been too scared since childhood."

"There is a saying to you, and to me. It is said that the general said that one will die, and one will die."

"No!" The soldiers took the order with a loud bang.

"Good, this is the true nature of my Youyan man. Let's go and board the boat in the south of the city!"

At that time, the eight hundred government troops were united and heading towards the south of the city. Along the way, they were responsible for quieting the streets and maintaining order. The soldiers of the Youjing City Inspection Division all stood up and saluted to the robes of the expedition.

After stepping out of the south gate, the Zhao soldiers sang the battle songs to go out together.

The military songs were loud along the way, and the ferry at Yongji Canal in the south of the city was already crowded with people.

When Chen Asi and his team arrived, there were heads in front and behind, and they could not even see the dock.

"Report the number!" A general held a pen in one hand and a bookcase in the other.

Chen Asi said: "The newly formed eighth army army."

"Why did you come? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing that the other party was a brigade leader, Chen Asi dared not refute it now, and clasped his fists and said, "There is no way, I'm delaying the acquisition of weapons."

"Forget it, forgot. The Wuwei Army has already boarded the ship first, you can line up behind them. Really. After you have a rough time, you will walk to Liyang."

"Wuwei Army? This brigade leader, ask you about someone. Do you know that a man named Chen Chujiu, the seventh Army of Wuwei?"

The brigade asked with a slanted eyes: "What did you ask him for?"

"I'm his elder brother?"

"I don't know." Lu Rui shook his face and replied coldly.

Chen Asi hit a nail and stopped talking at the moment. He could only line up with his brothers and move step by step.

"The Wuwei Army's name is on board the ship!"

Chen Asi and the others made way. But seeing the sound of armor, the Zhao soldiers rushed forward quickly.

"Qiu Laosi!" Chen Asi suddenly grabbed a man with a beard-thorned face.

"Haha, it's your Chen A-si, please ask about your brother. He seems to be at the pier in front. I won't say anything, the chief is calling me."

Chen A-si stood in line for half an hour before he arrived at the dock, but saw Zhao's troops gathering on the dock.

More than a dozen three-story large ships were moored on the dock, with the boards erected on the dock, and the soldiers picked up their waist signs and checked behind them, and lined up to enter the ship.

On the board, several Zhao army cavalry pulled the war horses that refused to board the boat, and there were soldiers holding arrowheads and carrying them onto the boat bundles. There were noisy scenes everywhere on the pier.

Chen Asi tried hard to look at the dock, and suddenly he saw a familiar shadow.

"Ninth day of the first lunar month!"

"Ninth day of the first lunar month!"

"Ninth day of the first lunar month!"

Chen Asi couldn't move left and right, so he could only wave desperately on the spot.

The man did not hear it, but carried a gun and boarded a two-story merchant ship painted with black paint.

Chen A-si did not give up and continued to shout.

"Brother!" The man finally heard it, ran to the deck, and waved to Chen Asi.

At this moment, Chen A Si felt tears flowing out and cursed: "You little brat, I don't know how to go home to see you. Mom is so worried about you."

"What?"

"I said you..." Chen Asi said, "I said you should take care of yourself!"

The dock was crowded with people.

"Take care! Do you understand?"

Chen Chujiu nodded far away.

At this time, Chen Chujiu's ship had already anchored and slowly sailed to the shore.

"I still remember to write a letter to my mother! She can't see it, but she can ask others to read it!"

When they saw Chen Chujiu's ship off the shore, the two brothers met in a hurry, Chen Asi finally couldn't help but swallow. At this time, Chen Asi felt a strong hand on his shoulder, which was the captain of the college.

The college lieutenant knew the relationship between Chen A's four families. This time the battle against Tang was a tragic battle, and no one dared to say that he could go home alive. The Chen brothers joined the army together, leaving only a blind mother at home. If the two brothers lost anything together, only the orphan was left, it would undoubtedly be very miserable.

But in the troubled times, no one is like this? The captain of the high school thought that as a village soldier, he could only guard his family territory. Even if he participated in the war, he would be considered an auxiliary army. However, after the New Year, the emperor recruited the township soldiers as the government army.

This time, even the soldiers in Youyan Township were recruited, and the six counties in Youjing recruited 20,000 new soldiers in the villages.

When the college captain thought of this, he couldn't help but miss him, which stupid woman and son of his family came.

"The newly formed Eighth Army of the Palace Army has boarded the ship!"

The captain stopped his longing and shouted to his left and right, "Brothers, have boarded the ship!"

"Don't be too sluggish."

"Why are you crying, like a woman."
