please come back

Xia Heyu stared at Yuan Wendong's face, feeling that the gully on this face was filled with sorrow and helplessness.

"General, Wen Dong's wife and children are in Li Su's hands. If I lose this battle, they may lose their lives." Yuan Wendong said, with grief on his scarred face.

"So, you're here to persuade me to surrender?" Xia Heyu asked with narrowed eyes.

Yuan Wendong neither nodded nor shook his head, "General, if you surrender, Li Su will not do anything to you. After all, you are a general, and you have to protect the borders of the country." Yuan Wendong rubbed his knee forward Ceng said that he hoped to persuade Xia Heyu with his former affection.

Xia Heyu almost didn't recognize the person in front of him. In his impression, Yuan Wendong was a tough man. No matter when he was a bandit in northern Xinjiang or later under Xia Heyu's command, Yuan Wendong never bent , Why has become a bit stupid now, can't even tell right from wrong.

"It's you who should surrender."

Xia Heyu lamented in his heart like this, but he heard a voice resounding loudly behind him, passing through the high and wide city gate, leaving behind echoes.

Xia Heyu turned around, and saw Jiang Linyuan standing in the sunlight outside the city gate, with blue hair tied behind his head, and some broken hair on his forehead shaking slightly, casting some shadows on his face, walking slowly towards the two of them.

Jiang Linyuan skipped Xia Heyu and raised his hand to help Yuan Wendong who was kneeling on the ground.Yuan Wendong stared at this thin-boned man with delicate features, and was stunned for a while before asking, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Jiang Linyuan said with a low face, "You should think about it carefully, even if General Xia surrenders, Li Su will definitely not let you go, because you used to be General Xia's subordinate, because Li Su is narrow-minded. If you win back, It's just like a dog, keeping your brows low for the rest of your life, maybe one day you will be sent to a poor place and no longer be in charge. So, are you willing?"

"But..." Yuan Wendong wanted to speak again, but Jiang Linyuan raised his hand to stop him.

"As for your wife and children, General Xia will send someone to pick them up before the news reaches the capital." After Jiang Linyuan finished speaking, he turned to look at Xia Heyu, and exchanged glances with him.

Xia Heyu understood and nodded to Yuan Wendong.

Only then did Jiang Linyuan laugh, then turned his head and said, "With your arrogance in all battles, are you really willing to work for someone who doesn't even treat your wife and children kindly? Besides..." Jiang Linyuan approached Yuan Wendong ears, "Your food and grass are gone, can you still afford it?"

Hearing Jiang Linyuan's words, Yuan Wendong trembled uncontrollably, turned to look at Xia Heyu tentatively, apparently moved by Jiang Linyuan's persuasion.

Xia Heyu took two steps forward, following Jiang Linyuan's words, "Wen Dong, if you are willing to come back, I will welcome you very much."

The corners of Yuan Wendong's eyes trembled, as if he had made up his mind, he shook his sleeves vigorously and knelt down again, "General, Wendong will return tomorrow."

Jiang Linyuan took a step back to the side, and winked at Xia Heyu. Xia Heyu glanced at him, reached out to help Yuan Wendong up himself, smiled, and said, "Wendong, when you come back, what should I do with you?" You're talking about the old days."

Yuan Wendong's eyes turned red, he bit his lips and bowed to Xia Heyu again, then turned around to say goodbye, and went back to the camp to prepare to surrender.

"You know, being betrayed by someone you single-handedly picked up is not a good feeling." Xia Heyu said looking at Yuan Wendong's back as he left.

Jiang Linyuan sighed softly, "He is also helpless. On the one hand, he is family affection, his wife and children; on the other hand, he is loyal and loyal, and he is the general's confidant. If you were the general, how would you choose?"

Xia Heyu lowered his head and thought about it. Indeed, if it were him, he wouldn't know what to choose. Any choice would be wrong. Life is full of contradictions, and no one can do anything about it.Thinking of it this way, it's fine, and there are not so many complaints and chills about Yuan Wendong.

"But what do you plan to do with his wife and children?" Xia Heyu continued to ask.

"Send someone to rescue for sure." Jiang Linyuan said, the wind blowing through the city gate was a bit cold, and he couldn't help hugging his arms, "You send a few smart people, and I'll tell them the method, whether it works or not , It depends on good luck, no matter what, you are going to save him, if he blames him in the future, you won't be able to blame him."

"It's not like what you said. Jiang Linyuan, who is so good at everything, has started to see good luck." Xia Heyu laughed.

"General Xia, don't laugh at me, I am also a person who believes in destiny." Jiang Linyuan shook his head lightly and said.In fact, it is not so much a belief in the destiny, as it is not sure.

"Fengliang, let's go back." Xia Heyu pondered for a while, and seeing that Jiang Linyuan seemed a little cold, he said, with a gentle tone that Jiang Linyuan had never heard before.

Jiang Linyuan heard the sound of his clothes being blown by the wind, but looked at the enemy barracks under the sun and said, "Don't be afraid, the wind here is very comfortable."

Xia Heyu fell silent, but took off his robe and put it on Jiang Linyuan's body.Jiang Linyuan was staring into the distance, and suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, and a warm feeling came from behind and reached the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Linyuan turned his head and saw that Xia Heyu had already walked out of the city gate. He didn't know if it was because he had lost something on his mind, but his steps were very brisk. "Thank you, you helped me settle another matter." Xia Heyu's voice came from there came.

Jiang Linyuan was wrapped in Xia Heyu's clothes and stood against the city wall, looking at the nearby camp and the distant mountains. The sun shone on some weapon, and the light shone golden, just like his current mood.

At noon on the second day, the gates of the three cities opened at the same time, and the heavy vermilion gates were pushed by several soldiers, making a slow "rumbling" sound, which made Xia Heyu feel relieved, and couldn't help but smile , the autumn wind rushed in along the crack of the door, swept into the city, and blew on everyone's faces.

Yuan Wendong entered the city with his men, and Xia Heyu divided the brigade into three parts and organized them into the armies of the three cities.But suddenly there were so many people entering the barracks, the barracks couldn't hold it for a while, so Xia Heyu ordered to make it up for now, and to expand the barracks before winter came.

Zhang Ling also rushed back from Qingzhou City, leaving only a team of people he trusted to guard there. He and Yuan Wendong were old friends, and now they came here and wanted to see him.

Yuan Wendong knew that he was no longer Xia Heyu's subordinate, but a surrendered general, so he felt ashamed and kept his head down all the way, but Xia Heyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wendong, now you Like Zhang Ling, he is still serving as a lieutenant under me."

In fact, Yuan Wendong has never read any books. In his early years, he became a bandit in the mountains in order to survive. The army paid well, so he joined the army.

After beating the barbarians a few times, Xia Heyu suddenly found that Yuan Wendong was brave enough to kill the enemy, and he was also relatively fierce in appearance, able to shock people, so he slowly promoted him to be a general.

Yuan Wendong was a bit older than Xia Heyu, but he became the number one under Xia Heyu's subordinates that year thanks to his full of ruffianism.It's just that looking at this man now, the arrogance and murderous aura in his body has been wiped out by Li Su, Xia Heyu really feels bad in his heart.

After settling down Yuan Wendong and his staff, Xia Heyu's concern was finally settled, and he chatted with Zhang Ling about Qingzhou, and then walked to his room under Guo Hong's persuasion.These past few days, Xia Heyu really didn't sleep well, and his fatigue became more and more obvious.

Xia Heyu left Guo Hong to deal with some trivial matters with Zhang Ling, and dragged his drowsy head slowly towards the residence. At the corner, Xia Heyu saw his horse.

He didn't need him to ride a horse in the battle of defending the city, so he left the horse here in the cold, but ordered Guo Hong not to forget to bring some fodder to it every day.

Thinking of this, Xia Heyu felt a little guilty, walked towards the horse, patted its neck, and the horse stretched its neck in enjoyment.Xia Heyu laughed, and touched its back again, wanting to feel whether the horse's muscles and bones had retreated, but inadvertently saw the wound on the horse's rear hip, Xia Heyu looked at it, stood I stayed there for a long time.

Let’s say that Jiang Linyuan was flipping through a book leisurely in the room, when he heard the sound of horse’s hooves outside the door, followed by Xia Heyu’s voice, shouting: “Jiang Linyuan, come out for me.”

Jiang Linyuan pouted, put down the things in his hands, pushed open the door and said, "What are you doing?"

With a straight face, Xia Heyu took the horse's rein, pointed the horse's buttocks to Jiang Linyuan, pointed to a black thing on it, and asked, "Did you do this?"

Jiang Linyuan laughed aloud, remembering that after he went to change the horse's dressing the next day, he forgot to tear off the ointment again.Jiang Linyuan leaned forward and poked the dark ointment lightly, only to find that the ointment had become hard because of too long time, and it had long been connected with the horse's fur.

Jiang Linyuan choked back his laughter and trembled slightly, turned his head to look at Xia Heyu and said, "I'm also kind, you don't feel sorry for your horse, so why don't I give him medicine?"

"You are very generous." Xia Heyu pointed at Jiang Linyuan's nose, "You gave it the ointment, and then you don't care about your injury. I didn't get it in the end?"

Jiang Linyuan laughed, "Tit for tat."

The horse snorted in agreement.

Xia Heyu looked at Jiang Linyuan and smiled, and laughed himself, put his elbow lightly on the horse's body, looked into Jiang Linyuan's eyes, and suddenly said: "Jiang Linyuan, why not..."

As a result, before he could finish his sentence, the horse swept its tail and hit Xia Heyu in the face, making Xia Heyu's face go numb.

Xia Heyu almost scolded and poked the horse hard with his elbow, but Jiang Linyuan didn't smile. He thought that Xia Heyu had something to say to him, and it was important, so he just stood there and waited.

Xia Heyu held the reins tightly, and fell silent for a moment, twitching the damned horse several times in his heart, then turned his head, and saw Jiang Linyuan was also looking at him, his eyes met, as if everything seemed to be going right. Just right.

"Jiang Linyuan, why don't you and I stay together."
