Chapter 102: Blood Debt and Blood Repayment
In the distance, a low horn sounded, and more and more black dots appeared on the snowfield. Liu Fulu struggled to make himself stand straighter, but the straighter he stood, the higher his belly rose, and if he didn't look at his face, he thought he was pregnant. I heard that the Marquis of the Yun family won a big victory, so I have to take a good stuck. The twenty-year-old candidate of the country, I am afraid that he will become a prince of the country if he is sealed again.
When he saw the team, Liu Fulu was greatly surprised. The team was completely out of formation, and many people were lying on their backs and staggering. Yun Hao's handsome banner is listless, where is there a trace of the demeanor of a winner. Could it be that this is the Tang Dynasty Zuo Wuwei who has won the victory?
Liu Fulu's neck was stretched out, and he looked at the triumphant return of the army on the side of the road. The army had been waiting for a while, and the goods were still waiting at the gates.
"Lao Liu, hurry up and enter the city, the Hou Ye has not been in a good temper recently, be careful to wait." Qiu Shili accepted Liu Fulu's benefits, and saw Liu Fulu standing at the gate of the city in a daze and eating ashes, and reminded him with a big thorn.
"All in town?" Liu Fulu's jaw was about to fall, and he personally saw him off when the army went out. The mighty 8,000 elite Tang Dynasty warriors, the elite with bright armor and bright armor. When I came back, there was only so little. This...... That's how many people died in Shuofang!
"Be careful, the people who come down from the battlefield are all temperamental." Liu Fulu's words seemed to poke a knife in Qiu Shili's heart, and for the sake of benefits, he gave a word of advice, and entered Bingzhou City on horseback.
The number of soldiers who came back looked like no more than two thousand, which means that more than six thousand would never return. The greeting behind Liu Fulu was silent, what a tragic battle it should be.
I don't know who vigorously struck his breastplate with his fist, making a "bang" and "bang" sound. The sound seems to be contagious, one or two...... Gradually, the city echoed with a neat "bang" and "bang" sound.
The warriors of a hundred battles returned to the camp without the need for support. No matter how tired their steps were, they were never embarrassed in front of anyone. More than 1,800 people who were alive stood neatly on the school grounds, and even those who were injured were carried by the robes. No one spoke, and no one groaned. The aura of slaughter on the school field was as if they were on the march.
"Disband!" Yun Hao stood on the high platform and looked at the soldiers below. Many of them had frostbite on their faces, and some had tattered armor. There are even some people who can barely stand by holding on to their blades. This is a strong army that has been devastated by war, but their stubborn eyes tell everyone that they are strong soldiers, and they have defeated the strong army of the Turks.
Hearing Yun Hao's order to disband, almost no one moved. But soon, someone fell straight down. Liu Fulu hurriedly took people and supported these soldiers who had been killing for the rest of their lives. Someone would carry them into a warm room, remove the iron armor, and take off the silk lining inside.
The process was not smooth, and many people's foot socks were firmly glued to the skin on their feet. Only by soaking the foot socks and feet in warm water can you remove them one by one.
The people being served don't know what they've been through, when the medic is busy. In the entire barracks, there was already snoring like thunder.
Qi Biao and Lai Shun'er, who rushed over from Chang'an, took the students of the medical department of the academy and began to check the health of the soldiers. Everyone's hands and feet were pulled out of the bed, and many people held their feet and examined them carefully. These people stink terrible, and the smell of their feet is even more horrible. The smell inside the barracks made people cry.
Qi Biao, who has studied medicine, hugged a pair of big feet and looked carefully; "The two toes of my right foot used to be completely blackened, and this injury cannot be cured. It needs to be removed immediately, and if the cold poison enters the bones, it will kill him. ”
The soldiers had no relatives by their side, and Liu Fulu looked at the wound tremblingly. Gritted his teeth and filled in the word permission on a piece of paper.
This is Yun Hao's order, he doesn't want these warriors to think that their limbs are randomly stripped from their bodies. This is respect and to reduce trouble, these killings are in a hurry, and they will use knives to cut people.
Seeing Liu Fulu's signature, soon a medical student smeared his entire big foot with alcohol. After carefully disinfecting it, a sharp knife appeared in Lai Shun'er's hand.
Cut down the edge of the darkened skin along the joint. When the last trace of connection is severed, the good toes easily leave the soles of the feet. The soldier who operated on the passive surgery just sighed. The eyelids didn't move, and the snoring never stopped.
The two black toes were carefully wrapped in clean linen by the medical students. Gently tucked under the pillow, the sole of the foot was bound tightly with sackcloth.
Throughout the day, Lai Shun'er and Qi Biao didn't know how many toes and fingers they had cut off. He even cut off several calves, but the wounds on them have begun to fester, and if he doesn't make a quick decision, he may die. Without any medicine for pain, the poor soldiers screamed in their sleep and burst into tears.
They all thought they were dreaming, and in the dream they seemed to be still on the battlefield of Shuofang. Their experiences these days are far more terrible than the legendary hell. Tiredness, pain, always follow them like a shadow.
Lai Shun'er cut off half of the palm of a soldier's hand, and then carefully sewed the skin on both sides together with silk threads. When he looked up, he found that the soldier was looking directly at him, and he was so frightened that Lai Shun'er almost sat on the ground. After looking closely, I realized that the soldier's eyes were not in focus. Gently caress his eyes, close his widening eyes, listen to the sound of even breathing, and slowly leave Shun'er.
I heard Yun Hao say before that people don't feel it when they cut off frostbitten limbs. That kind of thing called nerves, it's all killed by the cold. The finger was cut off, and not even a drop of blood was shed. The faint yellow water is very viscous and smells fishy.
I don't know how long I've been working, Qi Biao and Lai Shun'er feel that their waists are almost tired. Liu Fulu next to them reminded them that this was already the time for the last barracks. The two men sat down on the ground and began to pour out their breath.
"I cut off a lot of toes and fingers today, and I probably didn't cut as many in my life as I did today." Lai Shun'er groped for her body, but she didn't find a wine gourd for a long time. That's when I remembered that there wasn't enough alcohol. The liquor on his body was used to wipe the feet of the wounded soldiers.
"You also cut off three ears and two noses, and you took off one of your entire arms. I really don't know what they went through, I hope the monkey is okay. Qi Biao took out a wine jug from his arms, poured it himself, and handed it to Lai Shun'er.
"The monkey should be fine, Brother Hao didn't tell us, it should be fine." Although he said this, the worry on his face could not deceive people.
The chubby Liu Fulu rolled like a ball in the barracks, and under his drive, the barracks was chaotic like an ant's nest watered with boiling water. The cattle and sheep within a radius of ten miles were all caught, and in order to reward this tired army, Liu Fulu was not even enough to prohibit the killing of cattle.
What a big thick leg! The twenty-year-old Chuan Guohou, Lian Shangshu's right servant shot Lu Guogong and said that he would tie it up. I heard that in Chang'an City, it was the master who had nothing to do with the prince. Now that he has made such a great contribution, His Majesty has not yet made a shrine to offer it.
In order to tie up with this young boss, Liu Fulu can be regarded as fighting. Even if the city of the state smashes the pot and sells iron, it must satisfy this marquis. The money of the public is spent on the army, and no one dares to gossip.
Truckloads of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep kept pulling into the barracks, if it weren't for Yunhao's strict military law, I'm afraid women would also be in a cart to greet them.
In his sleep, Yun Hao saw a fire all over the sky. The flames of fire seemed to be able to rush all the way to the sky. As for the people under the flames, they were like small black dots like ashes. As soon as the flames rolled, those little black dots flew into the sky, and then they were swallowed up by the sky-high flames.
"Heaven and earth are furnaces, creation is work, yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper! People, and everything else, are tormented in this fire. In the haze, Yun Hao seemed to hear a voice, but when he looked closely, he couldn't see anyone.
A hand suddenly appeared in front of him, and the big hand with black hair looked like a majestic sea. Before he could react, countless large hands suddenly grew on the ground. Desperately grabbed Yun Hao's legs, and then hands, feet, shoulders and neck. When countless big hands came over and stuck Yun Hao's neck. Yun Hao began to struggle for his life, but all struggles seemed to be in vain.
The sky and the earth are getting darker and darker, as if it is the end of the world. The legs slammed on, and the head suddenly hurt, and the eyes were cheerful. A curtain appears in the eye.
Qi Biao was carefully boiling a pot of porridge, and he couldn't eat before. I couldn't get enough rice to eat, so I had to make porridge and drink with my younger brothers and sisters. Back then, it wasn't like now. And put preserved eggs in it, and put lean meat. Whoever enjoys the blessings create iniquity!
There is only one trick to making a good pot of porridge, and that is boiling. Constantly stirring in the pot with a spoon, and not too quickly, it must be stirred slowly, which is similar to the kind of Tai Chi that Yun Hao said.
After the porridge was boiled, Qi Biao carefully filled a bowl for himself. These days are turbulent, and the food is too coarse. Boiling a pot of porridge for Yun Hao is very good for appetite. Not bad, smells fragrant. Qi Biao took a long breath of intoxication, and was about to blow it cold to taste it, when he heard someone talking behind him.
"Fill another bowl, my bowl will be a big bowl." A voice suddenly appeared behind him, and Qi Biao turned his head in surprise. Seeing Yun Hao wearing a big coat, standing not far behind him.
"Brother Hao!" Qi Biao sprang up and punched Yun Hao fiercely.
"Don't fight, if you hit the fuck again, it'll fall apart." Yun Hao said with his hands, and his hands were protective. In Qi Biao's stunned work, a monkey stealing a peach accurately hit the target. This time, it was Qi Biao who bowed down.
"You deceive! It's not a big deal, damn it! "Qi Biao's waist is arched like a prawn!
"Uh......! Why don't you give it to you? ”
"Get out!" Under Qi Biao's hateful gaze, Yun Hao found a big bowl and began to serve porridge.
"Brother Hao! The monkey is all right! Lai Shun'er didn't care about Qi Biao, and sat down next to Yun Hao, still holding a plate of mutton slices and pickles in his hand.
"He's fine, I sent him to deliver a letter to King Qin before the war. It is estimated that at this time, he is following His Royal Highness the King of Qin to hunt down the Turks for military exploits. Yun Hao took a big sip of porridge with mutton pickles.
"That's fine, you must be fighting hard." Hearing that Hou Junji was fine, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. But when I think of those fingers and toes that I cut off yesterday, my mood starts to get bad again.
"In this battle, the corpses were piled up like mountains, and the blood and water flowed into rivers. The corpses of the Turks we killed were piled up as high as a hill. His Royal Highness the King of Qin was too lazy to bury it, so he burned it on fire. It burned for two days without extinguishing, and Shuofang City was considered to be in ruins. If you want to garrison troops in the future, I'm afraid you'll have to relocate the location to build the city. Yun Hao shook his head with all his might, trying to blast the tragedy of that night out of his head.
"Yesterday day, we both cut off a lot of hands and feet. You can see that you are fighting hard. ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is half a day late, maybe my bones will be taken back by the Turks to make wine glasses. Danger is everywhere! ”
"Brother Hao! You are now a marquis, why are you still working so hard. This time when we go home, we will stay in Lintong and not come out. In this world, when the war is fought is a head. Lai Shun'er sighed helplessly.
"No, if the Turks just walked back to the steppe. Lao Tzu would never fight with them like this, but they still brought more than 100,000 Han people looted from Hebei. When these people arrived in the steppe, they could only be slaves. The fate is tragic, and this life can be considered ruined.
You don't know, when you first arrived in Shuofang. I have the heart to kill everyone in the Turkic steppe! That's a miserable situation! I didn't know what was going on before, but this time I knew.
The old man was skinned and hung on a flagpole, and the child was stuck in the fence of the courtyard wall. Rows of children are strung like sugar gourds. The woman was naked and hung upside down in ......! My heart ......! "I couldn't drink the porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat, and I thought of the scene when I had just entered Shuofang. Yun Hao felt that the air pressure began to bottom, and his chest seemed to be pressed by something, and he couldn't breathe.
"The Turkic people raised by the son of a bitch, if we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely go to the steppe to make a disaster. The evil things they did in the Han land, we all did it on the grassland. Damn it, revenge! ”
"Yes, revenge. Brother Hao, there is really a day when the two of us brothers are together. ”
"Okay, one day we must attack the grassland. Kill him with a sea of blood! Debts made of blood must be repaid with blood. The three palms of their hands clasped together.
PS: It's another year of public memorial day! Some people forget history, but we can't! Today, please pay a moment of silence for the hundreds of thousands of compatriots who died in Nanjing!
