The three princes, the night king, and the new emperor have formed a three-legged situation, and the general situation of the world has a new situation.
Li Yu and the generals were discussing the situation and military affairs. When she heard the shouts from outside, she raised her head slightly.
"Come in."
"General, thank you for reporting to you."
Li Yu raised his head and looked at him in surprise, "Why did you come back, why did you come back alone, seriously injured?"
After a moment of surprise, I was full of worry.
Xie Li's eyes were red, "I was injured a little, and I brought a small group of wounded soldiers back to join you."
"Just come back, let someone arrange tents for them alone, let the military doctor diagnose and treat them one by one, don't delay the injury."
Li Yu came with a series of orders.
"Don't worry, I have arranged everything, and I will give you a special surprise."
The eldest son and the old general also laughed, so they knew that Li Yu would be happy.
"And me."
The fourth brother showed his head at the door and smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't see.
"Fourth brother, you are back too."
"fine."
As Li Si entered the door, everyone was silent. Li Si had a bag on his arm to support his arm, and his other arm was leaning on a cane.
"Brother, you have suffered."
Li Yu's eye circles turned red immediately. After coming back like this, he really couldn't go to the battlefield again, and he came back with his life.
"It's okay, I still have my life left, no loss."
Xie Li glanced at Li Si and saw that Li Yu was crying. He didn't know what to say next.
Li Si raised his head and sighed.
All the old generals left the house one after another, and only the eldest son was left.
"Come on, how many will you send back?"
Li Yu lowered his head and asked softly. They came back not just to heal their injuries, but to send the ashes home.
"There are nine families in total."
Li Si stretched out his hand from his sleeve, and hung a string of wooden signs on his hand.
It represents the fate of the soldiers, and it also means that they finally chose the fate of the horse leather shroud.
Each sign has its name, hometown and address. Before serving as a soldier, a soldier must register a household, commonly known as a military household.
Bury the corpse on the spot if you can't take it away, and bring back the military card.
"It was too hot, the bones could not be brought back, so they were buried on the spot. I only brought this back."
These are the wooden plaques of the Gu and Li families, and they are their descendants.
"ah!"
Li Yu screamed in grief, her brother... is gone.
They grew up together, trained together and were punished together, hunted together, and when they made mistakes, the older brothers were beaten for her.
She trained her brothers with her own hands, and sent them to the battlefield with her own hands, to the end...
And the brothers of the Gu family, who were also sent away by her own hands, these wooden plaques were carved by her own hands.
Outside the house, the old generals were fighting outside, with their heads up and their eyes red, and they were silent for a long time.
A group of soldiers who were still training also stopped and looked at the room silently.
Hearing Li Yu's mournful and desperate cries, everyone was silent, feeling aching in their hearts.
Li Yu cried sobbing while holding those wooden signs, distraught.
Li Si stretched out his arms and held his sister in his arms. At this moment, he understood why his uncle didn't let his sister come to the barracks or join the army.
Perhaps it was because she expected that she would not be able to bear it at this moment.
The highest honor for a soldier is the shroud of horse leather, but for relatives, it is an indelible pain and a painful blow.
"I, what should I...how should I put it..."
Li Yu howled loudly.
Li Si sniffed and spoke in a deep voice.
After crying for a long time, Li Yu vented his emotions before pulling himself together.
"I'll take you home, let me tell you."
"I'm sorry, some of the bones were brought back, but the rest had to be buried early because of the hot weather. I can only move the bones back in winter when the world is stable."
Xie Li stood up and bowed his head to speak.
Li Yu didn't blame anyone. She is a military commander who understands that the ending and fate of a general is preordained.
"Thank you, thank you for bringing them back, thank you!"
Li Yu saluted him and thanked him.
"General, don't say that..."
Xie Li couldn't hold back his tears after all.
"It's great to see you guys alive, take care of your injuries, and when you recover from your injuries, will you still be with me?"
Xie Li nodded vigorously, choked up and unable to speak.
"Don't cry, the soldier is honored by the shroud of horse leather. This is the fate of the Gu and Li families, and it is also the highest honor."
Li Yu wiped away tears, walked out of the house holding the sign, and saw everyone wandering outside the door.
"I would like to take a few days off and go home to settle down at home."
"Go, we are here."
Li Yu returned home with his fourth brother and the remaining brothers.
Gathering people together, Li Yu took out a sign and called out to them one by one.
The family members whose names were called covered their mouths and sobbed.
At this moment, they wish they were not calling themselves.
The Gu and Li families were crying, and Li Yu raised his head and couldn't calm down for a long time.
The Li family and the Gu family have a few more orphans and widows.
Li Yu asked the government doctor to treat the injuries of the fourth brother and other brothers, and the old general allowed them to go back to the government to heal their injuries so that they could reunite with their relatives. This is better than any medicine, and it is the most soothing.
She took out the wound medicine she prepared in advance for the wounded soldiers, settled them down, and left in a hurry.
In fact, it is impossible to face the crying sister-in-law, ignorant nephew and niece.
The fourth brother brought back important letters such as the letter from Boss Li and the greeting from Gu Lei.
Li Yu sat alone on the stone steps outside the Gu family ancestral hall and read the letter, crying while reading, the tears fell uncontrollably.
Grandpa Gu came over at some time, sat next to her, and handed her a jug of wine.
Li Yu took the jug and took a sip, coughed so much that he was choked, and after coughing, he hugged Grandpa Gu and cried.
"Hey! Cry, I know you've been holding back for a long time."
Grandpa Gu's tone was very light, full of powerlessness, helplessness and pain.
These are still children, and they are gone at such a young age. My heart aches!
"Am I wrong to let them go..."
At this moment Li Yu's emotions also collapsed.
"You are right, this is their choice, and it is also Li Jiajun's choice."
"Son, the Black Armored Army is most famous for the Li Family Army. This honor is filled out by the lives of the soldiers. The lives of others are also the same. Everyone is the same. Maybe there is only one seedling in another family. Anyway, we still have clans and relatives. We can take care of each other…”
"Grandpa, I'm in so much pain..."
Li Yu hugged Grandpa Gu and howled loudly.
She didn't dare to cry at home. Grandpa was already very hurt, and several grandchildren died.
With tears in his eyes, Grandpa Gu patted her on the back to comfort her, but said nothing.
The Gu and Li families were shrouded in dark clouds, full of sad emotions, and even the rowdy brother Yun was extremely well-behaved.
Brother Yun asked the eldest brother and second brother in a low voice, "Brother, I'm afraid, won't daddy come back? I miss daddy. This is the first time I see mother crying...I'm afraid."
Brother Zong hugged his two younger brothers, "Don't be afraid, the eldest brother is here, be good, don't ask about daddy, at least don't ask these days."
"Well, I know that the uncles are gone, Xiao Qi and the others have no father..."
Brother Yun also cried.
