见到两个老人难过，李旭心里也涌起了几分别离之意。更多小说ltxsba.com不想让母亲担心，他笑了笑，低声安慰道：“我只是去护粮，又不用打仗，没什么危险！”
“没什么危险，没什么危险你那一身伤怎么来的。谁不知道高句丽人凶恶，人都说辽河水倒流，壮士一去……”忠婶却是心急，大声反驳。话快说完了，才猛然意识到自己不该在少爷临行前犯口彩，重重地向立下吐了两口吐沫，又向吐沫上踩了几脚，讪讪地解释道：“您看我这嘴，夫人少爷别怪，我老得有些糊涂……”
“你说他，是为了他好！”李张氏赶紧打断忠婶的话，低声安慰道，“况且他是你从小抱大的，一直像你的亲儿子般…….”
“粥好了，我，我去看火！”不待李张氏的话说完，忠婶低着头逃了开去。一边走，一边撩衣角擦眼睛。
“你别怪她，忠婶是为了你好！”李张氏看看儿子瞬间铁青的脸，低声劝解。
“我知道！我没怪他！”李旭无力地对母亲笑了笑，掩饰掉眉宇之间流露出来的酸苦。忠婶的几句话出于好心，却像一柄大锤般重重地砸在了他的胸口上。‘辽河辽河水倒流，壮士一去不回头’，这话说得一点儿都没错。当日三百名护粮壮士马踏连营，硬从死亡边缘拉回了三千多弟兄。大伙带着回家的渴望转战千里，冲破重重阻拦，却没想到，在离家咫尺之遥看见了两团烈焰。
桥断了，回家的大门在孤军踏上门槛前轰然关闭。两千绝望的士卒面对十余万高句丽追兵，不可能再一次创造奇迹。仗着战马的脚力，李旭、刘弘基等人冲出重围，且战且逃，一直逃到武厉逻城的对岸，才被该城守军用木筏接过了河。（注1）三百五十名怀着必死之心自愿前去救人的壮士，一共回来二十三个！王元通、齐破凝、秦子婴，无数好兄弟在逃亡途中消失，三百多护粮弟兄用生命换回来的，只是一个姓薛的将军，还有一个姓宇文的驸马督尉！
旭子也不想让家人担心，但此时他已经没有了选择。即便不为了功业，他也得赶回怀远镇去，参加第二次征辽。那埋骨辽东的三百多名弟兄大半是他的部属，他必须让弟兄们死得瞑目。
“要是去，你自己小心些！”李张氏也笑了笑，伸手替儿子去捋耳边的头发，猛然却发现自己要垫起脚来，才能够到儿子的耳朵。李旭悄悄地把膝盖弯了弯，满足了母亲的心愿。耳边，母亲双手依旧是那么温暖，只是在不知不觉之间，那双曾经柔软的掌心已经变得有些糙，擦在脸上有些酥酥地疼，一直疼到心底。
“打仗时，尽量别往前冲。万一后撤，跑得快些！”李张氏哽咽着叮嘱，手抬起的瞬间，她看见儿子眼中有隐隐的泪光。
因为提起了军书，一家人的早饭吃得有些沉闷。李家现在已经不似当年的窘迫，为了给旭子滋补身体，每天早晨，干肉、咸蛋、腌菜在餐桌上都能摆起五六样。一些原来李旭爱吃，但只能在过节时才闻到其香味的小菜，如今也成了家常零食。只是今天大伙都没什么胃口，草草地挑了几筷子，就先后放下了饭碗。
“几时走？”老李懋望着窗外渐浓的绿意，低声追问。
“最迟这月底，皇上已经重新启用了宇文老将军，并且征募民间勇士为骁果。兵马未动，粮草先行！”李旭坐正了身体，低声向父亲解释。
所谓骁果，即民间有勇力又想在马上谋取功名之人。去年的辽东大战中，府兵精锐丧失殆尽，所以，这次大隋不得不重新以金银来募集勇士。从过年后官府的邸报上来看，大隋皇帝这次是下足了血本。正月初二，他下令各地继续向辽西运粮。初三，下令募集骁果从军。正月二十三，大赦天下，允许死囚去辽东立功赎罪。二十四，调曾下令放火烧毁辽河浮桥的卫文升返回长安，任刑部尚书，辅佐皇孙杨侑监国。二十五，下令回家过年的将士们前往涿郡集结……老李懋的脸抽搐了一下，想说些什么，却始终没有说出口。沉默了好半天，才喃喃地叮嘱道：“你现在身许国家，很多事情要自己拿主意，咱李家，嗨，咱李家已经五、六代没出过这么大的官了……”
‘咱李家已经几代没出过这么大的官儿了，你能不能求求那个唐公，让他安排你远离战场？’老李懋在心中悄悄地问。他知道，李家现在的兴旺繁荣都是儿子在外面用命换回来的，现在，他比两年多以前更怕失去这个儿子。但是，他终于忍住了这些见不得人的私心，喃喃地补充了半句：“你放心，爹知道，自古以来，忠孝不能两全！”
“爹！”李旭没想到父亲口中会说出如此冠冕堂皇的话来，不由得楞了一下。很快，他便明白了老父亲的苦衷，点点头，低声回应：“我知道，我尽量保护自己！”
“你大了！”李懋瞪大双眼看着儿子。
“嗯！”李旭低声答应。眼睛望向母亲，看见母亲缓缓站起身，默默地收拾起桌子上散落的碗筷。母亲的脊背已经有些驮了，腿脚也不像原来那么利索。迟来的好日子丝毫没有延缓她的衰老速度，绸缎做的新衣，反而衬托得她脸上的皱纹更加明显。
李旭想站起来帮忙，却被母亲轻轻地按在了凳子上。“你们爷两个难得说会儿话，我去收拾，有忠婶帮忙！”说罢，她端起碗筷走了出去，一路悉悉嗦嗦的脚步声在李旭耳边回荡。
