Chapter 751 Lieutenant Lixin

When Pei Yong said that, his eldest brother and second brother all stood up.

Big brother Pei Yong was the first to speak: "Third brother, you just returned home from the conquest. How can you get there before your butt is hot? There is no need to argue. This time I will serve in the military, so let me go!"

Brother Pei Yong just said a word, and his wife put the child aside heavily, and the cry of the child in the room resounded.

The sister-in-law scolded the child: "Why are you crying? Don't you think the house is not messy enough?"

Pei Yong's second sister-in-law stepped forward and said to Pei Yong: "Second brother, you have also seen how this family is going. Your second brother has been in poor health. There are no tenants in the family, and there is less farm work. You also know that this year is bad. There is also a mother who needs to be cared for. And in order to prepare the war horse for your last expedition, your second brother even sold the dowry I brought from my mother's house."

Hearing the complaints of the two sister-in-laws, Pei Yong just raised his hands to the two sister-in-laws and said: "These two sister-in-laws have been working all these years to serve their mothers and take care of the family. People call themselves knight-errants and are complacent, but in fact they are wasting their time and doing nothing for the family. So this time I want to join the army because I am looking for a chance to make a difference. So elder brother, second brother, you don’t have to worry about me.”

Pei Yong's second brother stepped forward and hugged Pei Yong's shoulders, and asked, "Third brother, do you really think so?"

Pei Yong nodded heavily and said: "Second brother, you told me Zhou Chu's story before, and I think it is true. There is a saying that a prodigal son will never change his money when he returns. I also want to follow Zhou Chu's example. I will not take Pei Song away this time. Now, big brother, don’t worry about second brother, take good care of mother.”

When the two elder brothers heard what Pei Yong said, they burst into tears.

"Third brother, take care!"

"Brother and brother, you too."

After lunch that day, Pei Yong tidied up a lot, led his horse, prepared his luggage and bid farewell to his bedridden mother, while his elder brother and his family left home.Pei Yong left in such a hurry that he didn't even stay overnight.Before leaving, the eldest brother and the second brother still stuffed Pei Yong with a bag full of copper coins, saying it was for the army as a spare.Pei Yong knew that his family's situation was not good, and he almost burst into tears when he saw the copper coins.

Pei Yong led the horse and followed the army to Pujindu for garrison. Pei Yong looked at the two cities of Pujin and Zhongli in front of him, and Zhengxiong looked at the Yellow River.He didn't know that after Li Tang failed to attack Luoyang, he temporarily shifted from strategic offensive to strategic defense, guarding Pujin Ferry, the key point north of Chang'an, which became the focus of the Tang army's defense.

"Chen Ah Si, come out!"

On the Luoyang school grounds, there were more than a dozen soldiers in red jackets standing.The morning sun fell and shone on Chen Ah Si's face, making his face that seemed vicissitudes look a bit more energetic.

Chen Ahsi heard General Ying Yanglang calling his name, and immediately took a big step forward, replied very forcefully, and stood in front of the team with his hands behind his back.

This series of drills was planned by Li Chongjiu when he was in Huaihuang Town.Li Chongjiu believes that soldiers have the dignity of soldiers, and when they have armor on their bodies, they don't have to bow down even when they meet the emperor.Moreover, Li Chongjiu also simplified a lot, the etiquette when soldiers meet with generals.

Now Chen Ahsi was wearing the fiery red war jacket of the military guards, standing straight in front of him with his chest upright, looking straight at him.

Standing in front of Chen Asi, General Ying Yanglang glanced at Chen Asi and said loudly to more than a dozen soldiers: "Chen Asi, the captain of the military guards, has been in the army for three years, and has accumulated two meritorious service. Because of your outstanding performance in attacking Jianghuai this time, His Majesty has decided to grant you a rank nine dismissal officer, Li Xinwei."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Chen Ah Si turned to face north, and after knocking heavily, Huang Chen covered his face.

"Get up!" General Ying Yanglang looked at Chen Ahsi and said gently.Only then did Chen Ahsi stand up, the corners of his eyes were already wet.

Seeing Chen Ahsi's excitement, Ying Yanglang said with a smile, "You don't have to, you deserve it."

Chen Ahsi wiped away his tears, how could he not be excited? Although Li Xinwei from the ninth rank is small, he is a loose official and can receive a lifetime salary.For example, the brigade rate, the school captain, and even the fifth-rank general Ying Yanglang won much more Lumi than Li Xinwei.But these are service officers. Once they retire or resign in the future, they will have no salary to take.

From Jiupin Lixinwei, apart from the glory of the official position, the most important thing is that he can get a salary of 49 shi a year, but now he is the head of the gang, and the salary he gets is only ten shi.

Chen Ah Si wiped away his tears and said: "Si, thank you General Lang for your cultivation, Your Majesty Long En."

General Ying Yanglang smiled and patted Chen Asi and said: "You are really lucky, this time the army selects generals and schools to give lectures in the martial arts hall. I would have decided to recommend you. This is a very good opportunity, it depends on you gone."

Chen Ah Si was slightly taken aback and said, "Lecture on Martial Arts Hall?"

General Ying Yanglang nodded and said: "Yes, the lecture hall, what a great opportunity, come back from the lecture hall, at least you will be the captain."

Chen Ahsi hesitated for a while, then stepped forward and said: "No, General Lang, after I thought about this time, I decided to retire from the army and not be a soldier."

Ying Yanglang put his face down, and said angrily: "How can this be possible? Didn't it mean that you have failed me to cultivate you by retiring from the army?"

Chen Asi lowered his head and said: "General Lang, you know that a certain, a certain is actually afraid of death. I have been in the army for the past few years, and I have not made any achievements. It is just that Commander Lang is able to command you effectively, which is why I have won battles again and again. I have thought about whether I am a soldier. I asked before that I joined the army. The mansion served as a soldier for three years, but I can ask Yingyang Mansion to be discharged. I want to go back to Youjing, start a small business casually, and serve my own The blind old lady can live forever."
General Ying Yanglang was very angry when he heard Chen Ahsi's words, but his face calmed down when he heard Chen Ahsi said that he wanted to serve his blind old lady.

General Ying Yanglang sighed: "Si, I knew that you have always been a very loyal person and filial to your mother, so I have nothing to say. But although you have a reason for this, I can't promise you, you miss you Now that you have a salary of 49 stones a year, can’t you invite someone to serve your mother? It’s hard to say that one day, you’re gone from the war, not to mention the pension money given to you by the imperial court, it’s your one-year salary. It is also enough for your old lady to grow old."

"Besides, you said that you don't know how to fight. I don't believe it. Every time you go to other brigades, the troops of the brigade will be damaged. As the leader of the brigade, you haven't lost a single hair in the brigade, and you don't even lose a horse. Not a single horse is missing, I wonder if you have become a deserter. Think about it again, even if you return to Youjing, you will at most be the head of the village, the head of the party, is it interesting to be a squire?"

Chen Ah Si fell into hesitation and struggle.

"One more thing, I haven't told you yet, your brother was seriously injured in the battle of crossing the river, and survived after medical treatment, but he didn't have a right leg, and now he has returned to his hometown in Youjing. The hope of the family rests on you alone."
