Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 912 Goodbye Father
This battle lasted for three days, and it was really difficult. Fortunately, the city gate was finally closed. The Southern Jin Dynasty also suffered heavy casualties, so it did not attack by force and retreated a hundred miles to rest.

When Liu Yunxiang found Yan Mu, he was sitting at the base of the city wall covered in blood. His hair was messed up, his armor was broken, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were black and blue, and he was asleep.

Not only him, many soldiers were paralyzed under the city, and many were seriously injured.

Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and called Yan Mu. Yan Mu woke up with a start. Before he could see the person coming, he hurriedly said: "Severely injured soldiers will be treated where they are. Those with minor injuries will be treated outside the city from the north gate."

"It's me." Liu Yunxiang rubbed Yan Mu's face, "It's me."

Only then did Yan Mu see that it was Liu Yunxiang. He breathed a long sigh of relief and sat up straight. Seeing her worried face, he added, "I'm fine. This blood belongs to someone else."

"You hurt your arm."

"Small injury, it's okay."

Liu Yunxiang sat down next to Yan Mu and let him lean on his shoulder.

"I have organized the people to set up dozens of large pots in the city. There are steamed buns, rice porridge, vegetables and meat. Let the soldiers have a full meal first, and we will discuss the rest."

Yan Mu looked reassured, "I knew you would make arrangements."

"The medicines I urgently bought from medicinal material stores from various places have also arrived. There are not enough doctors in the army, so I invited dozens of doctors to come to the city."

"Ah."

"The weather is going to change in the next two days. It's going to be south at any time, but it's still going to be rainy and cold. I'm preparing military uniforms."

"Okay, but if the weather changes, the Southern Jin people will be more difficult to deal with than us. They may withdraw their troops and wait until next spring."

"hope so."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the injured soldiers everywhere. The Southern Jin Dynasty was indeed too strong. If they attacked again, I'm afraid Da Rong would really be unable to hold it back.

"Using this opportunity, I have to persuade Beijin and Xiyue to send troops." Yan Mu said.

"There should be no problem with Leng Yuxie. He has seen the strength of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the unity of our Da Rong. When I asked him for food, he promised to give me [-] shi and would also go back to discuss sending troops."

Yan Mu turned around and kissed Liu Yunxiang, "You helped me solve a big problem."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Leng Yuxie said he was willing to send troops because he trusted you."

"I?"

"Because you won't let Da Rong lose, then their Beijin won't lose either."

Yan Mu looked at the injured soldiers and smiled miserably: "I always thought I was very powerful, but that's not the case. I let Marquis Jing'an go, but he opened the city gate and caused so many casualties. You see, I'm not all. You're right, I'm not as capable as they thought, and there were times when I even wanted to retreat when facing the powerful enemies of the Southern Jin Dynasty."

"But you didn't retreat."

"If I retreat, I won't be able to stand upright for the rest of my life!"

That night, it rained heavily in the Ling'an area.The rain at this time of year was bitingly cold. Fortunately, the soldiers of Dayong all had shelter from the wind and rain in the city. Only Nan Jin camped a hundred miles away and could not resist the cold at all.

Early the next morning, Su Hui came to report that the Southern Jin people had withdrawn.

Ling'an was able to take a breather for a while, but at this time, military pay also began to run out.

"I have to leave." Liu Yunxiang said, "But don't worry, I will definitely raise enough military pay for you."

Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang hard and said, "If I tear up the covenant this time, the emperor will definitely be angry."

"The courtiers are all on your side, so the emperor doesn't dare to do anything to me."

"You still have to beware of him."

"I know."

Yan Mu pressed his forehead against Liu Yunxiang's, "I promise you, in three years, we will defeat the Southern Jin Dynasty so that it will not dare to invade Da Rong again. By then our family will be reunited."

"Three years, I'll give you three years." A trace of sadness flashed in Liu Yunxiang's eyes, but Yan Mu didn't notice, "Let's take care of each other and wait for our reunion."

"Wait for me!" "I'll wait for you!"

As soon as the rain stopped, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin and Feng Zheng on their way back to the city.After leaving the Lingnan boundary, they no longer galloped, but borrowed food along the road.

But there isn't much grain that can be borrowed. It's not that the government won't give it, but it's just that after the Nanzhou riots, there is really no extra grain in various places.

When Liu Yunxiang came to Jiangzhou that day, she didn't have much hope, but the Jiangzhou government station stopped her.

"Princess, we people are raising food for Lingnan. Although each family can not provide much surplus food, this is everyone's wish."

Liu Yunxiang followed Futai to the city and stood on the bridge watching the people pour food into three large vats in the street.Some were carrying half a bucket, some were carrying a bucket, and some were carrying small half sacks. They wore coarse cloth clothes and were patched. Their lives were not rich, but they still squeezed food from their teeth to support Lingnan.

"I made you laugh." Jiangzhou Futai said.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and said with a sore nose: "No, I would like to thank the people of Jiangzhou City on behalf of the soldiers of Lingnan."

At this time, she spotted a thin figure in the crowd. He did not hold food in his arms, but gave a bag of silver to the official in front of him.

Liu Yunxiang's eyes turned red and he hurriedly ran under the bridge.

When the man squeezed out of the crowd, Liu Yunxiang chased after him.

"Father!"

When Minister Liu heard this, he probably thought he heard it wrong, so he paused and continued to move forward.

"Father!"

Liu Yunxiang called again. Only then did Liu Shilang realize that he had heard correctly. He quickly turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang right in front of him.He looked excited and took a step forward, but thinking of what happened before, he felt ashamed and slowly lowered his head.

"Yunxiang, I didn't expect that our father and daughter could meet again..."

Liu Yunxiang had mixed feelings in her heart. She hated her parents, and she once hated them so much that she severed ties with them.Even when her mother passed away, she didn't go to see her for the last time.

But after so long, the hatred will fade away.

"Aren't you in your hometown? Why are you here?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

"Your brother wrote a letter asking me to go to Weizhou. He said that his wife had given birth to a son and wanted me to live with them."

Liu Yunxiang nodded. Her younger brother often wrote letters to her, but the letters were all sent to Shengjing, so she didn't know about her sister-in-law's birth.

"That's good."

She felt relieved that her father and brother were together as a family.

"Yunxiang, Dad has done too many things that I've done to you that I'm sorry for. I have to apologize to you." As he spoke, Liu Shilang made a big apology to Liu Yunxiang.

Liu Yunxiang rushed to help him, but he pushed him away.

"And I will also apologize to you on behalf of your mother. We were so confused at the time that we didn't care about your life or death."

"Mom has passed away and you are getting old. My daughter doesn't want to worry about that anymore."

Liu Yunxiang saw Liu Shilang outside the city, said goodbye to each other, and watched him get on the carriage.And when she was about to turn around, Mr. Liu took out Mrs. Liu's spiritual tablet.

"Look, that's my daughter. Don't you really want to see her?"

Liu Yunxiang looked at the spiritual tablet and couldn't help but shed tears.She stepped forward, looked at her mother's spiritual tablet, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Mom, you and dad go and reunite with your brother and his family. When the war calms down, I will go visit you if there is a chance."

"We must go." Liu Shilang said with trembling eyes.

Liu Yunxiang nodded heavily, "Definitely."
