Datang: This imperial censor has a million points of recklessness!

Chapter 84 The Old General

"We have to wait for a suitable time now, and wait until we have purchased everything before we can make the next step. I think everyone should understand what I mean."

"Is the military's armaments already so poor? Can't even get two pieces of clothing together?"

"Why are you talking about armaments? If it weren't for the great help of General Lu here, you might not even be able to eat. Since I came to the army, I have taken tens of thousands of taels of silver from my treasurer to fill this loophole. It seems that the previous county magistrate withheld all the money on the way, and what we got was only one-tenth of it, so I have already sent someone to report to His Majesty."

"How can this be done? Tens of thousands of taels of silver can't just be taken out. If you treat us like this, what will your family do?"

Hearing that they finally calmed down, Cheng Yu also had a smile on his face.

"Please rest assured that the property acquired by Duke Lu is still enough for our family to eat and drink."

"What? A civil servant is actually a descendant of General Cheng!"

"What is your name, General Cheng? If His Majesty hears you like this, you will inevitably be angry and disgusted. After all, the previous killing has passed, so don't you want to cause trouble for the general!"

The happy person next to him immediately understood his intention and fortunately closed his mouth.

"I really didn't expect that I could still meet Lu Guogong's descendants at the border. But logically speaking, you are a civil servant, so you shouldn't be here. Why did you have this opportunity? How did you get to this point?"

"Of course it was His Majesty's order to let me come to the border to guard this place. Logically speaking, I also know that I should not interfere, but the current problems will only increase. If no one is guarding here, with the current situation of Old General Lu The physical condition may not be able to sustain it, and beat the Huns back to their hometown."

"This also means that the old general's physique is getting weaker and weaker. If he really persists, it may not be worth the loss."

"It's such a pity. The old general is also a generation of heroes, but because of the sequelae of the war when he was young, he was forced to retire here early. If he can go back to the past and save General Lu, then the old general will be considered a successor... "

As soon as this sad past was mentioned, Old General Lu's face was obviously a little dark.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Yu immediately understood what General Lu meant. Unexpectedly, the dignified general failed to save his son here.

Anyone would be extremely heartbroken by this incident, but it is not an unexpected situation at the moment.

"Everyone, don't mention the sad past again. Right now is a good opportunity to capture the book slaves. Please come with me, and make sure to capture these guys this time!"

"Zhang Yan, go and help distribute their belongings. I have already prepared everything here. Just follow the previous positions and prepare what needs to be prepared. You also need to sharpen your weapons here. It's extremely sharp. We just need to take a rest today, and tomorrow we will directly eliminate all the Huns in the surrounding small villages."

"General Cheng is mighty! Sure enough, he has the demeanor of old General Cheng. If he is still alive, he will definitely be proud of you!"

"Yeah, I still remember that when we were fighting at the border a few years ago, the old general has been thinking about you in the capital all the time. If he knows that you have such achievements now, his face will be so happy that he will smile crookedly."

Unexpectedly, it would be like this several times. In Cheng Yu's impression, Cheng Yaojin has never dealt with him very well.

If the time when he returned to the capital was compared to the moment of practicing martial arts in his life, then the rest of the time would be all dark.

A young man in his twenties was forced to support welfare things here and also take care of his family members, large and small.

Later, my mother became seriously ill and couldn't get up from the bed, and more and more people fell under this burden.

When my mother passed away, everything changed from the day she passed away. I didn't know what was going on in my heart at that time.

But the dissatisfaction with Cheng Yaojin is increasing day by day. Now that he feels the breath of these brothers in the border area, he suddenly understands some of Cheng Yaojin's actions.

"No one has a home and doesn't want to go back. It is definitely because of other problems that have delayed here. Just like me, I have now regarded this border area as my second home. I have three sons, but because they followed As I stepped onto the battlefield, I watched all three of them be beheaded by the enemy's general, and the pain was incomparable."

"But as a general who broke the defense and defended the country, I can't advise the three of them with my own selfishness, don't follow in the same footsteps, everything is too sad, but at the moment when the last one disappeared completely, I Only then did I realize the importance of children to me, and I had been fighting in border areas when I was a child, and I didn’t pay much attention to the three brothers.”

"Could it be that when I look back and regret it, it's really too late, and I can't turn back at all."

"Perhaps for the three of them, you are the person they are most proud of, so I hope you don't belittle yourself here. If they can see you miss them here one day, they will feel a little bit in their hearts. I was very happy, and I used to wonder if my father missed me at the border."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yu lowered his head and smiled to himself.

"Report to the general, the enemy is attacking. They are in a small village five miles away from us. I didn't expect that their speed is really fast. I just got the news yesterday that they are coming. It only took a few hours. We have reached the position, do we need to reorganize the army now?"

"Rectify immediately, have all the supplies and so on been distributed? Don't let the brothers move into battle..."

"Don't worry, all the clothes, dry food, and water have been distributed, and even the number of horses has been counted. I don't know where you got so many horses at once. The brothers are all happy. Incredible."

"This is my secret. I also invite Old General Lu to sit in the town. I will lead the army to kill the enemy. You must remember that as long as the city is not broken, don't take the people out of the city. These Huns seem to be fighting against you." You know the strategy very well, and you must not fall into the enemy's trap."

Old General Lu raised his eyes and smiled, then waved his hand to signal him to leave quickly.

Cheng Yu also bowed respectfully before walking away.

Looking at his back, the old general actually had the impression that he overlapped with his own son.
