It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

The people he likes don't like him, and he doesn't like the people who like him.

In this world, the only thing that cannot be forced is love.

"Mom, I don't have the energy to think about these things. Let's talk about my marriage later."

Zheng Rong smiled. She was not going to ask about her son's feelings, nor would she force her son to marry someone he didn't like for the sake of offspring.

"Don't worry. Happiness is never afraid of coming late. Lie down and sleep. I won't let Ye Ting disturb you." She covered Yang Shuo with the quilt and waited until he fell asleep before getting up and leaving.

......

The army was stationed at the edge of Mobei, a real border town hundreds of miles away from Shuncheng. The soldiers lived in stone and mud houses. Even the so-called general's mansion was only slightly taller at the entrance and had two more rooms inside.

The military camp was built around the lake. When the weather was warm, there was greenery with water, and the soldiers could raise livestock and grow some cold-resistant and drought-resistant crops such as soybeans and sorghum. But a few dozen miles away, there was the endless Gobi Desert, where several nomadic peoples were stationed.

The Yang family army built a barrier between the Qin Dynasty and these nomadic peoples, resisted the invasion of the nomadic peoples, and guarded the thousand-mile defense line in Mobei, which had no natural dangers.

When faced with extreme weather conditions such as snowstorms and droughts, life became unbearable and the nomadic people had to organize their elite troops, trying to tear a hole in the Yang family army's defense line and enter Shuncheng and other nearby towns to plunder.

Over the years, there have been wars of all sizes, and there are always some who slip through the net.

In such an environment, Zheng Rong followed General Yang Zhaofeng and stayed here for 18 years. If General Yang Zhaofeng was the soul of the Yang Family Army, then Zheng Rong was like a mother to all the soldiers.

……

"Is Shuo'er seriously injured?"

"It has been bandaged. The wound is a bit deep and needs to be healed for a few more days."

Yang Zhaofeng is taller than Yang Shuo, but he has been injured for so many days that his body is just skin and bones.

"Come, drink some water. You need to think less and rest more."

After drinking just one sip of water, he started coughing for a long time, and it took a long time before his breathing became even.

"Arong, don't cry. Others may not know, but you and I know it in our hearts. Dad sent me top-notch doctors and herbs, and it will be the same when we return to Beijing. I want to spend more time with my son. As long as I lie here, there will be no chaos down there. The Yang family army is not a monolithic entity. There are troublemakers, and there are even higher-ups."

How could Zheng Rong not understand what the man was thinking? She was destined to make a difficult choice between accompanying the man and accompanying her son in her life.

"You like Jiangnan, but I have never taken you there. This task can only be left to my son."

Zheng Rong held her husband's hand and smiled. "I heard from my son that the girl who saved him lives in Yangzhou. I will definitely visit her when I have free time. Feng Ping lives with her. She is a rare good girl."

"The brat is quite likable."

"Of course, my son is much more handsome than you were when you were young."

"I hope he will be as lucky as me and marry a good wife."

"Is this your way of praising yourself in various ways?" Zheng Rong reached out and tapped Yang Zhaofeng's forehead.

Yang Zhaofeng forced a grin, knowing that his wife didn't want to talk about sad things like separation and death, so he was trying to find a way to make her happier.

That’s right, since time is running out, we should cherish the time we spend together as a family.

......

Ye Ting in the guest room was a little restless. She had come here from thousands of miles away with courage and without fear of hardships, but she had not expected such an outcome.

Yang Shuo was not moved by her and remained cold and distant.

She was confused, but she was unwilling to leave like this. But was there any point in staying? She didn't know, and she didn't dare to face this question.

The hardships here were beyond her imagination. Even the seriously injured general had to drink rice porridge. If the supply was stuck on the road, the army could only eat frugally. It was already the end of the first month of the year, and it was still covered with ice and snow.

She was the only girl in the younger generation of the family, with four older brothers. She had been spoiled and given in by others since she was a child, and had never suffered any grievances. Unexpectedly, she encountered a big setback in her marriage.

She liked Yang Shuo only because he defeated the most powerful second brother in the family. In her eyes, Yang Shuo was the most powerful person. Since she was ten years old, no one else could catch her eye.

But for some reason, Yang Shuo didn't like her.

If she couldn't marry Yang Shuo, no one in the capital would be willing to marry her. How many people could she hide her running away from home?

Zheng Rong knew his son's intentions, and knew how to treat Ye Ting. He assigned a woman who did rough work to take care of her life, and she would come to chat with her when she was free, but he never said a word of persuasion.

Seeing that Zheng Rong would not put pressure on Yang Shuo, Ye Ting gave up trying to please her and stayed quietly in the house every day. After being nearly beaten to death last time, Ye Ting no longer had the courage to run away privately.

After living there for less than five days, she made a decision and begged Zheng Rong to send troops to send her back to the capital.

As soon as Ye Ting left, Yang Shuo felt better as he recovered from his injury.

They are born with incompatible temperaments. They fight when they meet, and cry when they can't beat him. It's so annoying that she can't avoid him. She doesn't understand why she likes him at all.

After calming down and reflecting, the person he liked also asked him the same question, but he couldn't give a clear answer.

It turns out that there are not so many reasons why you like or dislike something!

If I really had to spell it out clearly one by one, I probably wouldn't be able to do it.

During these few days of recuperation, Yang Shuo occasionally had the leisure to express his sorrow for the passing of time. When the wound had healed and the stitches had not yet been removed, the young general led his troops to patrol the border.

Taking over an army of 300,000, Yang Shuo had a lot to do.

Only if you are familiar with every checkpoint can you memorize the map. Only if you understand every general can you better deploy troops during a war. You also need to contact the quartermaster from time to time to ensure the logistical supply of the army.

There are so many things to take care of. I am so busy that I can only sleep for two or three hours a day. It's like I am working hard.

He just wanted to get his hands on all military affairs as soon as possible, he wanted to win the battle, and he also wanted his father to return to Beijing for treatment as soon as possible...

Yang Shuo had no one to talk to about his difficulties and nowhere to complain to.

Suffering not only tempers people, but also motivates them. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, General Yang grew up rapidly, visibly.

Thousands of miles away, Weng Xiaoxiao in Yangzhou was also facing unprecedented challenges.

Yang Shuo had too many people to take care of, but she had no one to use.
