Chapter 417
"In this battle, our country has suffered heavy casualties, and the border gates may be lost. The Holy Majesty will definitely issue another conscription order. Besides our Yi family, who else can guard the border gates for Wuling Kingdom? This conscription order will definitely fall on us On the head of the Yi family."

"Don't cry, cry, this battle will not stop." Mrs. Yi yelled at the crying female relatives.

"The Holy Majesty wants people from our Yi family to go to war, so it must be someone from our Yi family who can go to war! It has been six years, I sent my husband to the battlefield, and my three sons to the battlefield, and now they all died in the battlefield. After crossing the border, none of them can come back, what else does the Holy Majesty want!"

"There are only boys under the age of 12 left among the men in the mansion. Are you going to let these children who can't hold a knife go to the battlefield!"

"I haven't won this battle after fighting for so long. Could it be our Yi family's fault? If it wasn't for the fact that the government had not deducted military pay and food, and the treacherous ministers had repeatedly resorted to foolish tricks, how could it have been wasted after six years of fighting?"

"Three years ago, the state of Jin pretended to surrender and asked for peace. My father saw through the strategy of the state of Jin and refused to let people cross the border. The emperor and several civil servants in the court insisted on negotiating peace, so he suppressed father with military orders and released people. In the end, the near-victory situation was finally lost, and my father was also killed in it."

The old lady said "Holy Majesty", which aroused the anger of everyone in the courtyard.

Wuling Country can only be called a small country. This country does not have such a strong military force. One Yi family can support more than half of the army.

The six years of war made the formerly prosperous imperial capital deserted, but compared with the imperial capital, the Yi family sacrificed more. The Yi family, which used to have a strong male population, has almost become a family with only women.

"I know this too, but so what?" Mrs. Yi waited quietly for everyone to finish speaking before she said, "You blame the court, so do I. But if the Yi family doesn't stand up, the Jin army will The invasion broke in, and the entire Wuling Kingdom fell. At that time, neither the people in the city nor the Yi family were spared. The country is about to fall, and no one can survive alone!"

The female relatives were still crying, but they did not refute.

What Mrs. Yi said, they all understand that it's just that their closest relatives died in the frontier. They can't bear it in their hearts. They have pain and anger, and they can't hide all these emotions in their hearts.

"My mother guessed such a day, so she let us all practice with swords. Could it be that we girls really want to go to the battlefield to lead the army? We just thought, we don't have that much ability now, going to the battlefield is just Just die."

"I'm willing to go to the border, and Xianlang will be buried in the same place, and I have no regrets. Anyway, I am already alone, and I have no more nostalgia."

Several aunts of the Yi family lost their husbands and children. They had no ambition to defend their family and the country, and they dared to go to the border only because they didn't want to live anymore.

Most of the rest of the Yi family ladies did not dare to answer, and they were silent.

Their father and brother are heroes of the country, all of them are brave and good at fighting, and the women of the Yi family also have the intention to serve the country, but they are powerless, how can they gallop on the battlefield like their father and brother.

"You don't need to go, you women who are dying to live. If you want to go, you will go first." Mrs. Yi's voice sank, and she was not as scolding as before, but her tone was serious.

None of the female members of the Yi family took this statement as a lie.

Although the old lady is getting old, she was much stronger than the fourth girl when she was young. She was really a female general on the battlefield. Later, the old lady and the second uncle grew up and went to the battlefield, so they replaced the old lady.

"Mother, don't be impulsive. Even if mother has such lofty ambitions, the Holy Majesty will not allow it."

The female relatives quickly dissuaded them.

"Tomorrow, I will go to ask the Holy Majesty for an order. If the Holy Majesty refuses, I will issue a military order. If this battle is not over, I will not leave the border for a day."

"Grandmother... is just like a few aunts. It would be better to be buried next to her and meet her grandfather and uncles underground than to stay here." Fu Ling, who looked at her in silence for a long time, said.
