Volume XIX, Chapter 11
"It turns out that he is the commander of the army, it is really good luck, whether we can save our lives today is up to this person. Xie Zhenguo was secretly happy in his heart, so he carefully looked at the prisoner in his hand, the other party was also a young man, and he seemed to be a year or two younger than Xie Zhenguo, he became a military commander at such a young age, this person must not be simple, this is his best bargaining chip, Xie Zhenguo whispered to Li Yu: "Shut his mouth, lest he talk nonsense." ”
Li Yu also understood the importance of the person in his hands, this was their life-saving medicine, and according to Xie Zhenguo's order, he blocked his mouth tightly, and put the knife on the hostage's neck.
"If you want to save the life of your commander, gather all of them at once, and then lay down your weapons, otherwise, we will only have jade and stones burned, we are already nobodies, afraid of death, we will not come." Hurry up, we don't have much time. Xie Zhenguo scolded sharply.
"Yes, our lives are cheap, and they are not as valuable as yours, if you don't do it immediately, then we will be welcome!" Li Yu also threatened loudly on the side.
"Okay, don't hurt our commander, we listen to you. The general who had just spoken immediately turned to the people behind him and ordered, "Everyone do what they say at once, quickly!"
The troops of an army were all captured by Xie Zhenguo in this way, Xie Zhenguo did not have time to pay attention to these surrendered troops, and immediately ordered someone to send a message to the king, telling them that they had relieved the siege of Yanzhou City, Wu Zhujun heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears, he didn't expect that there were such capable people under his command, and all 40,000 people were captured with 400 people, after listening to the news. Wu Zhujun asked three times in a row to confirm whether the news was true, and after getting an accurate answer, Wu Zhujun personally led the generals out of the city to meet Xie Zhenguo.
Wu Zhujun talked with Xie Zhenguo all night, and felt that this person was really a general, but he didn't expect to be condescended to the position of a small light cavalry captain. It was really a condescending talent, Wu Zhujun decided to immediately promote Xie Zhenguo to a general, and together with 400 warriors, he was promoted to a higher reward.
The next battle became smoother xie zhenguo himself was well versed in the matter of marching and controlled the troops well, and carried out several major battles with an yunguo, although there was no victory or defeat, but they all had the upper hand, and finally. An Yunguo finally didn't want to fight anymore, so he sent people to sue for peace, exchanging the city of Gunzhou for the commander captured by Xie Zhenguo.
After Wu Zhujun heard the news, he felt that his goal had been achieved, and it would not make much sense to continue this war, so he agreed to An Yunguo's request, and after the exchange between the two sides, An Yunguo withdrew from the border with his troops. Wu Zhujun also proved his ability and established his authority. returned to the capital with a part of the troops, and Xie Zhenguo was also promoted to the general of the border, responsible for the safety of the entire border of An Yunguo.
However, Wu Zhujun and Xie Zhenguo both ignored one person, that is, the military commander who was captured by him, the nephew of King An Yunguo - Prince Leiming. He has always governed the army strictly, and led the troops well, and he was already a military commander at a young age, but this time he was just careless, and he fell in love with Xie Zhenguo. This is a great shame in his life, how can he not avenge this revenge, An Yunguo and Miyun Kingdom have fallen into a protracted and bitter battle after this, and all of this has arisen because of this.
In order to resist the invasion of An Yunguo, Xie Zhenguo was trapped at the border and had no time to go home, this stay was ten years, not only let his wife and daughter stay alone, but also did not give birth to a man and a half girl, as he grew older, this has become Xie Zhenguo's heart, the general stationed in the border must detain all his family in the capital, the law of the country is so, Xie Zhenguo is helpless, although sometimes he can take the time to go back, but he comes and goes in a hurry, and there is no time to do this thing of inheritance.
When he had nothing to do, he took his henchman Li Yu to wander around the border, and happened to meet a pair of brothers, which were later Xie Zhenguo's two righteous sons - Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng. At that time, Wang Yongbin was ten years old, and Wang Zhiheng was even younger, only seven or eight years old, the two of them looked down, unkempt, ragged, completely a little beggar on the street, Xie Zhenguo was nearly thirty-six years old at the time, because of the long years of war, still no children under his knees, as soon as he saw these two brothers, he felt a little fateful, out of pity, he gave a meal, and then gave them some money, but I didn't expect that although these two brothers were poor and destitute, but they were very tough, and they didn't accept Xie Zhenguo's money.
"You two little dolls, why don't you ask for money?
Wang Yongbin wiped his unfinished mouth and said to Xie Zhenguo: "Benefactor, you are a good person, our brothers will always remember it, but we can't take your money, it's hard to repay the kindness, and my mother once told us that people can't be greedy, and if you get one, you can't be greedy again, and now we have received your benefits, and if we receive your benefits again, we are insatiable, so we would rather be hungry than ask for your money." ”
Looking at the two black and immature faces in front of him, Xie Zhenguo suddenly felt that the two brothers were very interesting, looking at their behavior and behavior, it seemed that they were well-educated, but they didn't know why they had fallen here. "Little brother, what is your name, where do you live, why did you become like this, has something happened in your family?"
"Yes, my name is Wang Yongbin, this is my younger brother Wang Zhiheng, our family is next to the border, a few days ago, all seven members of our family were killed by An Yunguo, and the whole village was killed by them, and the two of us were lucky to escape this catastrophe by hiding in the cellar. Wang Yongbin said with a sad and indignant face, it seems that the tragic massacre has been deeply imprinted in his young heart.
"Alas, it's all the sins of war, when will such troubled times and strife stop in the end!" Xie Zhenguo couldn't help but sigh deeply after listening to Wang Yongbin's words, the long-term campaign has exhausted him, completely lost the impulse of his youth, as he grew older, his sighs became more and more, and his disgust with war became stronger and stronger, and the turmoil of war made countless wives separated, displaced, and homeless, in the chaotic times of your conquest. Orphans like Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng are unknown.
"Do you brothers want to go with me, I will treat you like my own sons. Xie Zhenguo suddenly had an impulse to take the two orphans as his son.
"Benefactor, we're just going to drag you down, we're too young to do anything. I can't help you much. Wang Yongbin didn't seem to understand the intention of the person in front of him with a faint sense of sadness.
"Hahaha! I'm not going to let you do anything, I don't have any children yet, and I want to take you back as my sons, and now you understand. Xie Zhenguo felt that these two children were really interesting, but it was precisely because of their sincerity that Xie Zhenguo had the idea of accepting the two of them as sons.
"Well, but we already have a father. Although they have passed away, Wang Zhibin ...... is too young after all, and he really doesn't know how to face this matter.
"You two stupid boys, how many people want to be accepted as sons by the general, but they are all rejected by the general, but you two are still here to shirk it, I really don't know what to do!" Li Yu on the side finally couldn't help it, and scolded Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng.
"Alas. Li Yu, they are still young. Don't understand anything, be quiet, don't scare the child. ”
"General, it turns out that you are a general, I really can't see it!" Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng looked at Xie Zhenguo carefully, the person in front of them. Si Sven Wen, with a weak appearance, doesn't look like a general, in their young minds, the general should be powerful and terrifying. The appearance of a fierce man with an overwhelming momentum, but Xie Zhenguo was 108,000 miles away from the appearance of the general in their hearts, teaching the two of them how to believe. In the end, the two unanimously came to the conclusion that this man was definitely not a general, and although he was not a bad person, he loved to brag.
Li Yu on the side looked at the two little guys with disbelieving expressions, and couldn't help but be angry, how sacred the general was in his heart, but he was judged by two children who were less than ten years old here. "I said you two boys, are you looking for a beating, you are talking nonsense here, be careful of being beaten. ”
"Li Yu, Hugh is talking nonsense. He said to the two Wang brothers: "You don't have to be afraid, this Uncle Xie is also a general, but his temper is a little irritable, but he actually has a good heart." ”
"Well, I think he really looks like a general!" Wang Yongbin looked at Li Yu, who had a bearded face, and felt that he was almost the same as the general in their hearts.
"If so, you two are willing to go back with me!"
"Anyway, we don't have anything, it doesn't matter if you sell us, but we have one condition......" Wang Yongbin's words were interrupted by Li Yu before he could finish speaking.
"You two are endless, and you dare to put forward conditions, I think you really don't know what to do. ”
"Hey, you let them talk. Xie Zhenguo felt more and more interesting about these two little guys, so he stopped Li Yu's scolding, and then said to the two Wang brothers in front of him with a smile: "Oh, you still have conditions, say it, let me hear it." ”
"Be a son with you, but you can't change our name, otherwise I won't agree, and we will never forget this hatred. Because, there are only two of us left in the whole village, and if we also change our surname, it means that our entire village is no longer there. Wang Yongbin said in an old-fashioned manner.
"Woo, yes, don't change your name!" Wang Zhiheng on the side also said with a chok, he was working overtime to eat the rest of the food on the table, don't look at his young age, the amount of food is really amazing.
"You guys ......" Li Yu was already so angry that he couldn't speak, he didn't expect a dignified general to stick his hot face on his cold buttocks.
"Well, I wasn't going to ask you to change your name, so now you can come with me. Xie Zhenguo said with a smile.
"Wait. Wang Yongbin suddenly said loudly: "Can you let us take these things on the table and eat them slowly." ”
"Hey, you two are really endless!" Li Yu roared angrily, he was really confused by these two little guys, when he arrived in the general's camp, he would have less to eat, and he couldn't hold back his temper anymore, so he left the hotel with the two little guys in his pocket.
Xie Zhenguo shook his head, Li Yu's fiery temper, I really don't know when I can change it, maybe I can't change it in my life, but he and Li Yu have been on the battlefield for many years, and they share life and death. Although he was nominally a master and servant, he had already regarded Li Yu as a brother, and after settling the account, he followed him back to the camp.
Only then did the two little ones fully believe it. The middle-aged man in front of him is indeed a general, and he seems to be a great general, because he can command many generals and can give orders.
Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng followed Xie Zhenguo in this way, staying for two years, and the two-year military career made these two brothers mature quickly, they were originally victims of the war. They have a strong hatred for the people of An Yunguo, although they are still young and cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, but they have witnessed it by Xie Zhenguo's side, coupled with Xie Zhenguo's personal training, as well as their strong revenge heart, which makes them full of motivation, and their martial arts cultivation has improved very quickly.
The arrival of the Wang brothers. It seems to have brought good luck to Xie Zhenguo, and the fighting on the border gradually calmed down. The king also ordered him to return to Beijing to report on his work, Xie Zhenguo set off happily, he knew that he also had time to go home to visit, Xie Zhenguo was afraid that the two Wang brothers had lived in the army for a long time, which would make them both violent, so he took the two of them home. It was the first time for the two brothers to live in such a large house, and they felt very new and new when they saw everything.
To tell the truth, Xie Zhenguo also felt a little embarrassed, when did the king build such a big mansion, he really didn't know. Today is also the first time he has walked into this new house, he has not seen each other for twelve years, Xie Zhenguo really can't recognize his wife Wen Yuni, if it weren't for his parents to pull the two of them together, Xie Zhenguo really didn't dare to speak.
In this way, the Wang brothers were left in Yundu, the capital of Miyun Kingdom, and Xie Zhenguo sent the two of them to study in the aristocratic school of Miyun Kingdom, and then rushed back to the border pass.
Xie Zhenguo's happy things are still to come, two months later there is good news at home, Mrs. is pregnant, hearing this good news, it is really happy from the sky, Xie Zhenguo is so happy that he and the generals and officials have a grand celebration.
The conflict on the border finally calmed down, and Xie Zhenguo was also relieved, but he knew that the opponent he was facing, after all, had fought a war for twelve years, and both sides had some understanding of each other's personalities, and were relatively familiar with strategy and tactics, but since both sides had been fighting for so many years and had spent a lot of manpower and material resources, it would not make much sense to continue this battle, and both sides needed a time to recuperate, so although the enemy and us faced each other, the military conflict eased down.
King Wu Zhujun also knew that his hero's wife was about to give birth, so he allowed Xie Zhenguo to go home to visit, of course, this must be on the basis of ensuring border security, Xie Zhenguo got the king's permission, he handed over the affairs to the generals, and he rushed back when his wife was about to give birth, wanting to see his incompetent father at the first sight of his child's birth.
It is also strange to say that the night before the birth of the child, Xie Zhenguo and his wife Wen Yuni had a strange dream at the same time, a fire fell from the sky and smashed to the ground rapidly, and the huge explosion woke up the couple from the dream at the same time, and the two woke up from the dream at the same time, almost all of them were in a cold sweat, and the husband and wife asked each other, it turned out that they had this strange dream at the same time, and they couldn't help but feel surprised.
Before Xie Zhenguo had time to think about it, Wen Yuni's stomach had begun to hurt, which was a precursor to childbirth, although Xie Zhenguo was a father for the first time, but he still had this common sense, so he hurriedly went to the doctor, fortunately, the family had made sufficient preparations and arranged everything.
Xie Zhenguo stood in the courtyard and waited anxiously, the complicated and anxious mood was really indescribable, he kept turning back and forth in the courtyard, and suddenly a dazzling white light fell from the sky, and disappeared in an instant, Xie Zhenguo didn't have time to react anything, he suspected that it was his hallucination, because the sun was rising from the clouds in the morning, and the white light seemed to be the light of the sun, but he didn't think about it at all now, because a new life had been born.
"Wow, wow, wow!" A few loud cries of babies broke the embarrassing silence, and the entire general's mansion was suddenly filled with joy, Wen Yuni finally got through the difficulties, and the baby was born smoothly, and it was still a baby boy.
Xie Zhenguo rushed into the back room, and at a glance saw the baby beside his wife, his eyes rolled around, carefully looking at this strange world, looking at these strangers around him with happy faces.
"Congratulations to the general, there is a successor!" everyone happily congratulated.
"Thank you, everyone, for your hard work, please go outside and rest for a while, thank you for someone!" Xie Zhenguo held his son in his hand and said with a smile.
The doctors all left the room, leaving only a personal maid to take care of him, Xie Zhenguo looked at his wife affectionately, don't look at him commanding thousands of troops and horses, but at this time he couldn't even say a word, just looked at his weak wife on the bed with affectionate eyes.
