It's getting colder day by day, and the situation between North Korea and China is getting more serious.
It was heard that a war had begun on the border, and a city was captured with lightning speed.
When the news reached the court, the emperor hurriedly asked the old general Dingguo Zhang, known as the victorious general, to lead his troops on an expedition.
But although the old general is known as a victorious general, he is old after all. Marching in this severe cold weather, he got sick halfway through the journey, but he still marched gritted his teeth and died before reaching the battlefield. ?.?????.???
Ding Changhe took the letter he received and put it on the candlelight to light it, "You are really a coward to die."
An Ran asked worriedly: "Uncle, will I recruit you back?"
Ding Changhe looked at the candlelight and was lost in thought for a while, "I have no right to go back and do anything now."
An Ran also understood the frustration in Ding Changhe's heart. He was afraid that his military exploits and military power would be too great and would be difficult to suppress in the future, so the regent exempted him from part of his military power.
But now if something happens, the regent will not let him get up again unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Didn't you say that the Emperor is also the way? What is the Emperor's attitude?"
"I don't know, but I will definitely not openly argue with the regent. I guess the person laughing now should be the emperor. The regent holds the military power. If he loses the battle now, how can he have the dignity to stand in the court again? On."
"The two of them are competing, and it's not the people below you who are unlucky."
After Xiao Shitou finished practicing outside, he came in sweating and asked: "Dad, do you want to continue waiting?"
Ding Changhe smiled sarcastically, "Your father has no power now. There is nothing he can do if he doesn't wait."
"But the generals leading the troops in the DPRK are not as good as you. I'm afraid we will lose a lot of troops by then."
Ding Changhe leaned back on the back chair and said calmly: "The Emperor is not in a hurry, and the Regent is not in a hurry either. Is there any use in your hurry?"
Xiao Shitou was speechless after hearing this, and An Ran asked him to go wash up first. It was a cold day and he was sweating. Don't get sick again.
An Ran looked at Ding Changhe's indifferent expression and said, "Did you predict that the war would begin?"
Ding Changhe smiled and glanced at An Ran appreciatively, "Our situation here has been unstable in the past few years. We have experienced several disasters in succession. Do you think it is possible for others not to take the opportunity to take a bite of your flesh?"
"How do you know exactly when it is?"
"I don't have the ability, but I know that natural disasters are more severe for them than for us. There is no food in winter, so how can it be possible if we don't come to grab it."
"Then if you really go on an expedition, will you bring small stones with you?"
Ding Changhe looked at An Ran, "You don't want Xiao Shitou to go to the battlefield."
An Ran lowered her eyes, "He's still too young."
Ding Changhe closed his eyes, "I have worked hard and planned for him in the past few years. There is nothing wrong with letting him go to a real battlefield. I will do my best in terms of safety."
An Ran thought about it and felt very sad. As the pebble got bigger, it would fly out of her reach, leaving her alone to worry about.
Seeing An Ran's gloomy look, Ding Changhe took her hand and rubbed it gently, "Don't worry too much. Xiao Shitou has grown a lot in the past few years. He is not a person without the ability to protect himself. Besides, there are still I, I will not not protect my son."
An Ran felt very sad. She knew that if this day came, she would not be able to stop it.
Because of this news, An Ran was worried for a while. He watched Ding Changhe practice with small stones and didn't say much.
Both father and son have adjusted their mentality and go in and out together every day. Although there are disputes, Xiao Shitou is obviously more calm than before.
Sure enough, by the end of the year, the Yuan Dynasty had lost another city.
An Ran did not go to Ding Mansion this Spring Festival. Ding Changhe only returned to his home on the 30th and led his family to worship their ancestors. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he hurried back to Xiaxi Village.
Because An Ran was due to give birth in January, he was worried about leaving, so he stayed in Xiaxi Village after the Chinese New Year and never left again.
After the New Year, Ding Changhe arranged for Xiao Shitou to go out again, this time to the Black Tiger Camp for training. An Ran knew it was hard work, but there was no danger, so An Ran was not too worried.
Mrs. Ding also moved here and told An Ran privately that this baby must be another son.
On January 18, An Ran finally gave birth to another son at noon after struggling for a long time.
Ding Changhe had been standing guard at the door, feeling anxious as he listened to An Ran's hoarse cries. After a while, she called An Ran and told him that she was at the door to reassure her.
When he heard the baby's loud cry, Ding Changhe realized that his palms were all sweaty.
When Sister Chen came out with the baby in her arms, he saw the tiny baby crying so loudly that he knew it was a strong child.
But he doesn't know how to hug Xiao Shitou. He wasn't there at that time. Now that he sees his son, he wants to hug him.
Mrs. Ding taught Ding Changhe the posture. Ding Changhe held the soft child and felt soft in his heart.
This is his own son. He has seen him since he was born and hugged him, which made up for his regrets about Xiao Shitou.
Seeing the soft smile on Ding Changhe's face, Sister Chen couldn't help but secretly thought, in fact, the uncle looks good when he smiles, but his usually straight face is scary.
Sister Chen took the child back to the house. An Ran had already cleaned up and was lying weakly on the kang. She turned to look at the child who was sleeping with his eyes closed.
It looks very similar to the little stone, just like when I saw the little stone.
Ding Changhe came in after Sister Chen finished drinking brown sugar millet porridge for An Ran.
Sit next to An Ran and put
