Chapter 733: War is Coming
"I come gently, just as I go gently, with a wave of my sleeve, and take only a flask with me......"
Looking at the faltering little plum, Xiao Han felt that for the sake of him treating himself as a friend! Forgive generously the bandit behavior that took it without telling this time.
There are a lot of flasks! Even if this is not taken by Xiao Lizi, it will fall into the hands of Chai Shao or Cheng Biting Jin, at the beginning, Xiao Han never had the intention of keeping it.
Li Shimin left, and the surroundings fell into silence again.
The conversation between the two just now was very pleasant, and even Xiao Han's mood was much better.
In the barracks, Li Shimin would never ask Xiao Han anything about the war, and Xiao Han would never give him any suggestions.
Therefore, what two people talk about is generally those boring trivial things, especially gossip, which is the main topic of their main topic!
However, it's not that Xiao Lizi doesn't do his job, and it's not that Xiao Han wants to be a glutton!
Xiao Lizi is not an ordinary person, he is an invincible commander who has experienced countless fierce battles of life and death!
It can be said unceremoniously that people like him have long been firm about their future and what they will do! Unshakable!
Even the occasional weakness and hesitation like today's is just human nature.
Find your friends and pick something loose to relieve the stress! When the sun rises tomorrow, he will be an iron-clad man again!
For such a Li Shimin, Xiao Han admires it from the bottom of his heart.
This is not only because of the praise of his achievements by later generations, but more because of the little understanding of him now.
Counting, Xiao Lizi is only 20 years old this year.
It's like this, I should have soaked in college, leisurely reading books, falling in love, and playing games with fox friends.
Who would have thought that he had already experienced countless life-and-death battles for this siege?
At the first order, tens of thousands of people charged for it! As soon as the order stopped, tens of thousands of troops were silent.
This kind of thing, although it makes people's blood surging just by imagining! But who would have thought that behind this, the pressure on him was not a thousand times that of those soldiers?
In front of him are tens of thousands of people, not tens of thousands of pigs and sheep!
This army of tens of thousands may just be a small mistake by the boss, and it will evolve into the end of the total annihilation!
And even if there are no mistakes, everything is perfect! The victory in exchange was also made up of the lives of countless enemies.
The blood is flowing and the heads are rolling!
It has always been the truest portrayal of the battlefield, regardless of friend or foe!
Xiao Han asked himself, if he was in this position, it was estimated that he would collapse in one day!
To be like Xiao Lizi, calmly issue orders during the day, and only at night does he reveal a trace of weakness, which is already inhuman perseverance!
Pass through Hangu Pass and enter Xiazhou.
In Xiazhou, Li Shimin's army joined up with Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao's Xuanjia army, rested for only one day, and continued to move forward and settled in Yanling Pass.
When you arrive at Yanling Pass, it means that you have reached the forefront of the battlefield!
Since then, all the soldiers have been put into combat readiness.
The hunting operations that had lasted for half a month were all canceled, and even the bathing once a day was forced to be suspended, and everyone entered a tense state.
Xiao Han was very uncomfortable with the current rules of sleeping in clothes, but thinking of the dead face of the military judge, he still decided to do it honestly.
Didn't you see that in the past two days, you have killed seven or eight guys who disrespected military orders? Xiao Han definitely didn't want to be the next unlucky ghost.
The approach of the enemy and the harshness of military law soon made the loose army completely alert, and the battle reports on the front line also flew to the big tent of the Chinese army like snowflakes.
Xiao Han knew that the military purpose this time was to take Luoyang City.
However, Luoyang City is definitely not a separate city.
With it as the center, it is entrenched in the surrounding towns and cities, and at this time they all belong to Wang Shichong's sphere of influence.
The war started quickly, without any warning or foreshadowing, on a peaceful day, Xiao Han stood in the barracks and watched the soldiers put on their armor and leave.
Mid-May.
Cheng biting Jin, Qin Qiong led 3,000 Xuanjia troops to break Xin'an, and the ** front advanced more than 100 miles to the east, only more than 60 miles away from the eastern capital Luoyang.
In late May, Shi Wanbao captured Shou'an and Yique one after another! Since then, all the west of Luoyang has fallen into the hands of Li Shimin.
At the beginning of June, Xiao Han's army entered Xin'an and began to manufacture large-scale siege equipment.
At the same time, Li Yuan, who was sitting in Chang'an, sent Tang Jian to Hebei to establish diplomatic relations with Dou Jiande and formulate a treaty of mutual non-attack.
In this regard, Dou Jiande readily agreed, and sent Princess Tong'an of the Tang Dynasty, who had been detained for many days, and Li Shiji's father to return to Chang'an with Tang Jian.
Xiao Han is completely busy now, even if Chai Shao takes over the rest of the work and lets him concentrate on being in charge of the wounded barracks, it will be enough for his busy people to turn over on their backs.
In the past two days, as the battle began, countless wounded and sick were sent to the newly established wounded and sick battalion, and for a time, the wounded and sick battalion was overcrowded!
The lack of doctors, the lack of medicines, and even the lack of clean cloths are the situation that Xiao Han is facing now.
A series of seven letters requesting supplies have arrived in Chang'an, but the materials in the letters have not been delivered for a long time.
Xiao Han knew that it was really difficult to let Chang'an take out so many supplies at once, but seeing the injured in front of him**, this mental torment made him lose a lot of weight in just a few days.
In the logistics tent, Xiao Han looked at the material account with red eyes, and when he saw the last page, he couldn't help but slam his fist on the table!
"Even if there are not enough herbs, don't stop giving them to the brothers! Now is the time of hot weather, if the medicine is stopped, the wound can easily re-infect! Ignoring the pain in his fingertips, Xiao Han stared at the logistics captain fiercely and said.
The lieutenant arched his hands, the sweat on his forehead kept flowing down, and the recent Xiao Hou made him feel very strange!
"But if it goes on like this, the consumption of medicinal materials is too great!"
"If you don't have enough medicinal herbs, go to the nearest town to collect them! I want those herbs! You know what! ”
"Whoa!"
Seeing Xiao Han's red eyes, the logistics captain immediately rushed out of the military tent and shouted for the personnel to leave.
As for how to raise medicinal materials? Xiao Han didn't say, he didn't ask!
War has always been the most evil thing in the world! There is no right or wrong, there are no rules, there are only destruction and implication!
Xiao Han used to have Qiu Wu's thoughts, but now it seems that this is just a naïve imagination.
The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and Old Man Hua walked in, and when he saw Xiao Han's still bleeding hands, he just sighed, and stepped forward to take out the bandage he carried with him to wrap the wound for him.
"Master......"
"Go and rest for a while, you've done well, don't push yourself."
"Today's Wounded Barracks ......"
"If you don't carry it out, you can survive until this time, and it will be fine!"
"Then I'll squint here for a while, and I'll take a look later."
