Chapter 518: Expedition
After more than a month of preparation, when he finally waited for the expedition to Liaodong, thinking about catching Wu Sangui and beating him, Mao Wenlong felt relieved. However, if you want to go on the expedition, you must first pass the two ladies in the family.
Now it's not as good as before, if you don't have children, you don't have so many worries, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan have children, and now they are all focused on children. Although he rarely thinks about Mao Wenlong anymore and gives him a lot of freedom, in the final analysis, he is still a husband and can't ignore their feelings.
Like other officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army who were about to go on the expedition, Mao's mansion also began to contain the sorrow of parting.
Early in the morning, Hao Da prepared his mount for Mao Wenlong, a sweaty and bloody BMW covered in snow-white fur. The war horse was waiting outside the gate of Mao's Mansion, and Haoda and a group of guards were waiting quietly.
From the early hours of the morning to now, the departure node is getting closer and closer, and an hour has passed, but Mao Wenlong is still missing.
The backyard was very quiet, and the busy subordinates were careful not to make too much noise.
In Mao Wenlong's room, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan were packing Mao Wenlong's luggage, and most of the luggage had already been prepared. At this moment, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan are packing up Mao Wenlong's armor and weapons.
Chen Lan put the armor on the table and examined it carefully, wiping it slowly. And Hong Ziyan wiped Mao Wenlong's sword, the two were silent, each doing their own thing, the only thing they had in common was that the two girls had a trace of worry on their faces.
"You don't need to be so serious, this Northern Expedition to Liaodong is not a big war. I promise that it won't take me three months to get back triumphantly. Seeing the two girls so dull, Mao Wenlong felt uncomfortable.
"Xianggong, when you are fighting, you have to think more about the children at home, we orphans and widows, if you have an accident, we will not survive." Chen Lan finally put down the armor in his hand and turned to look at Mao Wenlong's complaining words.
"What my sister said is that it doesn't matter if it takes a long time, the important thing is the safety of the father-in-law, but don't be impulsive." Hong Ziyan also echoed.
Mao Wenlong stepped forward and pulled the second daughter to his side, and said seriously: "Xianggong, I'm still young, but I don't want to be unable to think about it so early." Besides, I have a beautiful wife and two lovely children at home, so I am reluctant to die. ”
Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan's faces were slightly red, obviously a little shy. Chen Lan was warm in Mao Wenlong's arms for a moment, then suddenly broke away from his embrace and picked up the battle armor on the table, which was full of forty pounds: "Okay, Xianggong, we won't delay you, quickly put on the battle armor, don't let others wait too long." ”
Mao Wenlong stretched out his hands and let Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan put on their battle armor, and after a long time, Mao Wenlong finally got dressed neatly. Bidding farewell to his second daughter again, Mao Wenlong strode away under the eyes of Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan.
Hong Chengchou didn't know when he had come to the gate of the mansion and waited, and when he saw the arrival of Mao Wenlong, a warrior in armor, and the mighty Mao Wenlong, his old face showed a satisfied smile.
"The general army is mighty, and I only hope that you will take care of your health and return triumphantly as soon as possible. Celebrate with a drink, and hope that the general soldiers will not let us down. As for the affairs of the family, you don't have to worry about it, everything is with me, and I will take care of it. Hong Chengchou had a serious expression on his face, and everything he said was to eliminate the concerns in Mao Wenlong's heart.
"The military advisor Mao should rest assured, the only thing that worries me about it is the safety of my family. The military advisor still needs to worry more about this matter, especially the princess in the mansion, but he has to pay more attention. Don't let the unexpected happen! Mao Wenlong instructed again.
In the final analysis, what he is most worried about at present is the safety of Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan and their two children. And the fuse of all this is Princess Changping, this fierce woman is definitely an unsettling variable.
Hong Chengchou nodded: "Don't worry, with me, no one can hurt them." ”
With Hong Chengchou's repeated assurances, Mao Wenlong's uneasy heart was finally a little relieved. Dao a thousand said ten thousand, and in the end he had to part, and Mao Wenlong was not a mother-in-law's man. Moreover, this is not the first time to go on an expedition, and the war in Liaodong is not much dangerous. In short, the odds are still very good, and there is nothing to worry about.
turned over the war horse, Mao Wenlong and the others slowly walked towards the army outside the city under the eyes of Hong Chengchou, facing the rising sun.
A full 100,000 army was far away from Xi'an, and many family members of the Dongjiang Army also came to see off outside the city. Fighting a war means that someone will die on the battlefield, whether they can come back after going out, no one can grasp it, everything is unknown.
Therefore, the farewell of the family is regarded as the last send-off.
The Dongjiang army roared away, but the family members who saw it off were still eager to see through, and Mao Wenlong was very depressed until he left Xi'an. Looking at the family members who sent their sons to the battlefield, Mao Wenlong suddenly felt that he was carrying a lot of heavy burdens on his shoulders.
For the conquest of Liaodong, Mao Wenlong did not feel that it was too difficult, and Wu Sangui was not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army at all. There is no problem in winning the battle, but the problem is that he must now consider trying not to let the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army suffer too many casualties, which is Mao Wenlong's trouble.
Lu Xiangsheng followed Mao Wenlong's side, and seeing that Mao Wenlong had been depressed, he also understood what Mao Wenlong was for. Once upon a time, he had experienced many of these scenes.
"The general soldier doesn't have to care too much, there is no undead to fight, everything can be as it is." Lu Xiangsheng opened his mouth to persuade.
Mao Wenlong shook his head and said: "It's really unbearable to compare your heart with your heart. If it weren't for the last resort, this battle wouldn't have been fought! ”
Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback: "Chief soldier, I can't say this, if it leaks out, I'm afraid it will affect morale." ”
Mao Wenlong said indifferently: "It will not affect morale, now there is only one Liaodong left in the entire north, let Wu Sangui survive like this, there will definitely be wars in the future, and more people will die at that time." Therefore, now we have to take advantage of his illness to kill him, cut off this scourge with all our might, and try to keep the casualties of the soldiers to a minimum. ”
After Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he understood what Mao Wenlong was thinking, and was pleased with his far-sighted strategic vision: "The general soldier is really talented, and his subordinates admire him." ”
Mao Wenlong smiled: "Mr. Lu Qian can't even make a fuss." ”
Lu Xiangsheng was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said: "This is the sincere words of his subordinates, not flattery, don't misunderstand the general soldiers!" ”
