Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around
Chapter 622 Returning to the City to Recruit Soldiers and Select Generals
The prince returned to his residence, packed his belongings, and rode out with a few personal guards. He stopped at the door of the fourth brother's house and waited there.
After a while, the whole family of the fourth brother came out. The fourth brother led the horse and looked at Guoguo, "How did you get here? There is no carriage?" "The carriage is in the village. We are," Xiaotian said, hahaha, "We ran here." The fourth brother also laughed, "Good, good, we exercise." Xiaodong complained in his heart, haha, sister Guoguo is still like a child. "Let's ride horses." A soldier came over. Xiaotian said, "We can ride horses." Xiaodong said excitedly, "Okay, each of us will have a horse and ride back home." Guoguo: "I still have a carriage. My mother and I will take the carriage." The fourth brother: "This distance is not short! Get on the horse." The fourth brother pulled Li Ru onto the horse. Guoguo laughed, his father was too fierce. "I'll ride on my brother's horse."
Xiaotian: "Alright." He reached out to pull his sister up, but Guoguo leaped onto the horse with a mighty effort and sat behind him. "Let's go." "Okay." Xiaotian blushed and sat in his sister's arms. He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and shouted, "Gee!" The horse broke into a gallop.
Several horses galloped together as if in a race. Li Ru: "Fourth Brother, slow down." [Don't you consider your age?] Li Ru thought to herself. "Okay, Madam. Well, our sons have grown up, and we are old too." Li Ru was unwilling to admit that she was old, so she said, "I'm not old yet, I'm only in my thirties." The fourth brother looked at his wife sitting in his arms. She was shy, just like when she first married into his family. She laughed and said, "Yes, A'ru is still young, and I'm not old either. I still have to go to the battlefield." Li Ru heard this and asked, "Do you have to go?" The fourth brother stopped laughing and said in a low voice, "Yes. Several countries are eyeing us covetously. We have to go! The Great Yan Kingdom cannot be defeated." Li Ru also thought about it. If the Great Yan Kingdom was lost, one could imagine what would happen to the people. "I understand. I'm just worried about you." "It's okay. I practice martial arts every day. Don't worry, Sun Quan is with me, don't worry. This time, our family members are going in large numbers, so there's nothing to worry about." "Who else is going?" The fourth brother whispered, "I heard that our Guoguo is going too. Jiale will be in the capital soon, with many people. Huanhuan, Hengheng, and the second brother should go back too." "He's never been to the battlefield, okay? He's still a child!" "We'll talk about it later. There are more people going.
They're still recruiting! I heard they want 100,000 soldiers. We can't afford to be short of them. Li Ru lamented, "Damn the enemy! They're not letting us have an easy time." The fourth brother, holding the reins with one hand and hugging his wife with the other, said nothing pleasant, but comforted her, "Don't be angry, Ru. I've got you covered. Don't worry, your husband's years of hard work haven't been in vain." Arriving at Xiaowangzhuang, Li Ru and Guoguo rode in a carriage. The riders followed.
As they approached the city gate, they saw Ye Heng riding out of the city. The fourth brother shouted from a distance, "Fengxing, let's go back. We're back!" Ye Heng looked at the fourth brother, still a rough man. "I know," he said calmly.
Guoguo heard his father's call from inside the carriage, pulled aside the curtain, and said softly, "Fengxing, I'm back." "Yes, back to the palace." A large group of people marched into the city. They gave way to carriages from other palaces along the way. "Hehe, Prince, who dares to cross a carriage guarded by the prince?" "There are imperial guards clearing the way ahead." They were escorting Ye Heng.
Guoguo looked outside secretly. Li Ru smiled and said lovingly, "You still have the temper of a child." Guoguo hugged her mother's arm and said with a smile, "I am just a child in front of my mother." Li Ru smiled lovingly and touched Guoguo's head.
The carriage stopped in front of the Chai Mansion. Guoguo and Li Ru got out and the carriage entered through the back door. Ye Heng invited Xiaodong, "Come in and sit down." "Okay." It was so hard to see his sister Guoguo, and he wanted to see her as much as possible. If he couldn't see her, there was nothing he could do. Now he didn't have the same thoughts as before, but he would occasionally think of his sister who had cared for him since childhood. It was a relationship that lasted through life and death!
In the main hall, Guoguo released heat, and soon the hall became warm. A guard brought tea and then left.
Ye Heng took a sip of tea and said, "Guoguo has been gone for so many days?" He chuckled, "I've prepared some more things. And Xuyao gave birth to a child, a boy." "Good," Ye Heng said. Li Ru also asked, "Guoguo, did you say that the second child is pregnant?" "Well, it was just a few days after the birth. Xuyao is still in confinement. Chai En wanted to come, but I didn't let him come back. I called him when it was time to leave. It's very important for women to have a confinement period. He can't come back now." Li Ru: "Yes, it's very important for women to have a confinement period. Your eldest aunt would be so happy if she knew about it. Your second aunt, ah." Li Ru didn't say anything else. Guoguo said: "Don't worry, mother. They're fine, they'll be fine, don't worry about them." Guoguo changed the subject and said, "Hengheng and Xiaofu sent someone to notify them to go home and live. If they don't come back to this mansion, they will never come back." Guoguo pretended to be angry. The fourth child: "Yes, your own family is small?" The guard ran away and hurried to notify people.
Li Ru: "You can't blame the children entirely. They might know about their parents' affairs and feel embarrassed."
The fourth brother said: "Don't blame them. My second brother is just dizzy from having a good life. He deserves a beating. When I see him, I will beat him up." Ye Heng: "Let's not talk about that."
Ye Heng, Xiao Dong, and the fourth child talked about the military deployment. Ye Heng: "Dad, you stay home and train the new recruits, don't go to the battlefield." The fourth child: "I want to go too." Guo Guo: "Hey, Dad, there's no one at home, and you're still going. It's better to stay at home and take care of Mom. Besides, the new recruits need you to train!" Li Ru also wanted the fourth child to be at home, but she didn't want the fourth child to go against her wishes, nor did she want him to be sad, so she said: "Guo Guo, Mom knows you mean well, but your dad loves the battlefield. Let him go, don't restrict him." "Okay." Guo Guo knew his father since he was a child, and he couldn't sit still. With him following him, he would take care of himself. Ye Heng thought that the fourth child was old and would be slow in the water. He did have a trick up his sleeve in the past few years of training the navy. Ye Heng spoke again, "Dad, the navy needs you to train now." Haha, "I'm going to the East China Sea to participate in the land battle. I still want to kill the enemy. If I don't go this time, I'm afraid I won't have the chance again." Guo Guo thought that the fourth child still wanted to go to the front line, but she didn't expect her father to be so eager to kill the enemy. She was itching to do it. She could only say, "Fengxing, let Dad go. I'll follow him. I'll change into men's clothes and be Dad's guard." Ye Heng refused outright, "No, you follow me. You're a girl." Guo Guo just wanted to roll her eyes. "Girl? I've given birth to a bunch of children for you, and you still want girls?" Guo Guo blushed.
Li Ru: "Let the fourth brother go, otherwise he will feel uneasy." Ye Heng: "Okay, I want dad to train the new recruits." Change people.
Ye Heng asked, "Xiaodong, how have you arranged it?" Xiaodong replied seriously, "I'll also lead troops to the battlefield. My uncle and I will each lead a team to support two locations." Ye Heng replied, "Okay, Huanhuan will lead one team. We need one more, and he must be a capable general. The generals in the court are all old and can't go." Xiaodong replied, "There's a man in the camp outside the capital who could be of great use."
Ye Heng: "Xiaodong, in the talent selection competition, a general must be well-rounded, proficient in both civil and military affairs." "Oh, he has to be well-educated too!" Xiaodong was dumbfounded. He still hadn't thought as much as his uncle did. After all, a military commander truly needed to be well-rounded. "Okay, I agree." Guoguo also said: "Yes. He can be said to be an all-round talent. This time I want our son to have a try." Xiaodong asked in disbelief: "Brother Huangbao! Okay. Sure. I agree. Tomorrow morning I will ask father to issue an order to select talents through martial arts and cultural examinations." Ye Heng: "Since Huangbao is participating, let Xiaochen and Xiaotian participate as well. After all, they have studied together in the Ministry of National Defense for so many years. Let's see how they learn!" Xiaodong: "Okay." Guoguo, "Only those who are both virtuous and talented can command the army. They must be resourceful. Their martial arts skills can be slightly inferior, but their wisdom and strategy must be high." Ye Heng thought about it, "Well, it's true. An incompetent general will tire out thousands of troops. Generals must be carefully selected." Xiaodong: "Okay, I'll go back to the palace and talk to father. It will be held in three days." Ye Heng: "Okay, let's go." Guoguo: "Brother Xiaodong, tell the emperor and my godmother that I will go to the palace to see them tomorrow." Xiaodong: "Okay. I'll pass on the message."
Several people sent Xiaodong back together. Ye Heng asked the imperial guards to escort the prince back to the palace.
