Chapter 51: After the War
I slept very comfortably, and I felt that many people had come to see me, and my consciousness was very vague, and I didn't remember who it was. I seem to have woken up a few times in a daze. Sometimes it's daytime and sometimes it's night, but it doesn't matter if it's day or night. You can always see Dai Yu and the iron guards by his side.
When he finally opened his eyes, he was poking around with a silver needle in his holy hand.
"Wake up, wake up. The old gentleman is really a miracle doctor, and my brother is awake. ”
Liu Cheng's loud voice shook the windows of the room, and it seemed that he was really happy that he was able to wake up.
"My throat was dry and cracked, and it hurt like a fire."
Luan Yong gave himself something to drink, and the function of his nose had disappeared. I tasted it and was relieved of the radish juice. This thing is the best thing to clear the heart and lungs, and it is also a good product to moisten the throat when it is squeezed into juice.
"What happened to Xiang Sanqiu's corpse, it wasn't snatched by them."
Yun Xiao remembered that before he fainted, he seemed to see countless rebels densely packed in the distance.
"Brother, don't worry, everyone's wealth here is on that corpse. Even if someone takes his life, he will not leave the corpse. The rebels were repulsed, and Thirteen thought of a way. A couple of grenades were strapped to the three-bow bed crossbow and shot out.
This thing is so good, it explodes a big piece. The rebels suffered heavy casualties, and without a commander, they rushed twice and retreated. The brothers were worried about you, so they only took Xiang Sanqiu's head back. It was already pickled and sent to the imperial court.
You've been in a coma for a day and a night, it's okay, brother is worried to death. ”
I didn't expect this bastard to talk about some hooliganism, and finally knew to care about himself.
I had no choice but to have a swollen and sore throat and couldn't speak.
"Alright. Hou Ye needs to recuperate now. Don't disturb you, there are too many people and the air in the room is cloudy. You all go out. Dai Yu opened the window for ventilation. A room full of blood. ”
The Holy Hand of the Imperial Physician spoke, and it was very good. A room full of killers. Standing there, I smelled of blood.
The killers retreated, and in front of the Holy Hand of the Imperial Doctor, they were all chickens that saw the weasel. Dancing with knives and guns all day long, what he does is the business of white knives in and red knives out. If you accidentally get hurt, I'm afraid you still have to take action from this old man. Last time, Hou Ye's arm ring was connected by his old man, but Hou Ye's cry was a little miserable. In order not to be abused by this old gentleman in the future, the killers wisely chose silence is gold.
I drank a big bowl of porridge and fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes, I found that the symptoms of dizziness were significantly reduced. His throat didn't hurt as much as it appeared, and he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm. actually sank to the bottom of the spittoon at once, and smashed on the bottom of the spittoon with a bang. It's actually turquoise. Mother's I don't know and I think Lao Tzu spit out jade,
stood up with Luan Yong's support, his legs were so weak that he looked like he needed to walk.
It's a nice day, and there are still two sparrows chirping in the branches. Walking out of the courtyard to the school field, hundreds of villagers were pushing bricks in Zamabu. The muscles on the upper body are shirtless, and the skin is a healthy wheat color. It was already a cold winter day, and their bodies were still steaming. The arduous training is honing their bodies and wills, and this will be the strongest soldier of the Great Han.
On another training ground, goshawks are testing their archery skills. A rope was attached to the two uneven poles, and a target moved quickly in front of the soldiers. Stop and take a look. It's very good, nine times out of ten, you can get the first place. This is already a good result, Yun Xiao didn't see the army of the Great Han in contact with the moving target.
Dai Yu was commanding a team of village warriors with rattan protective gear and bamboo knives to fight each other. The bamboo knife slammed on the rattan armor, and there was still a big gap between the swiftness of their knives and Dai Yu, but the angle and strength were already decent. It looks like they're going to train to Dai Yu's look. It will take time, a lot of time.
The Xiongnu men were full of wounded soldiers, and the imperial doctor and the holy hand led his disciples to haunt the tents. Liu Cheng is even more crippled there. Not even a single sentinel can be dispatched. There was not a single man in the camp, and the worst brothers were wrapped like mummies. Liu Cheng hung his arms. Wandering around the hospital is considered a minor injury.
"Brother, why are you up, didn't the Imperial Doctor Holy Hand want you to rest? Come on. Hurry up and sit. Who's that, get some hot ones. ”
"How's your injury?"
"I was slightly injured, and I got a sword cut on the shoulder. Look at where in my camp there is a man of all kinds. I was embarrassed to stay here without one or two sword wounds on my body, and this time the loss was too great. Half of my men are dead, and twenty or thirty are crippled. ”
"After beheading Xiang Sanqiu, the will of the imperial court is half completed. Although the king of Jiangdu was not rescued this time, the loss of Xiang Sanqiu's group of rebels is no longer a difficult bone to gnaw. This is the case with an army that has been built up by charisma, and when the spiritual pillar collapses, it will fall apart.
Imagine if Xiang Sanqiu is still alive, can you and I escape from Gaoyou? If my expectations are correct, it won't be long before there will be infighting within them. It seems that it was right to leave this Chu Ying at the beginning. ”
"Alright, don't talk about these things anymore, annoying. I don't want to stay in Jiangnan anymore, so it's serious to pay my will and go back to Chang'an. I don't want to spend a day here. ”
"Come on, Master Geng's turtle boat is ready. I'll go and exterminate the Dongting Water Bandits, and we can have an order to pay the order. You'll have a marquis reward this time anyway. As for me, I guess there will be a little more fiefdom. ”
"I hope my fiefdom can be bigger and I can house these brothers. Follow me from birth to death, and we can't let them fall away. This trip to Jiangnan is a loss, and Mao didn't catch it, and so many people were killed and injured. originally thought that Jiangnan had been governed by King Wu for many years, and was known as the rich world. I didn't expect to be so poor, and all the floating wealth was scraped clean by Dou Yuan's bastard. ”
"Don't complain, we're half of the Dongting Water Bandits' lair. These guys have dominated Dongting Lake for many years, and the lair is naturally rich in oil. That's why I beheaded Xiang Sanqiu and didn't ask for a decree to go back to Chang'an, the brothers followed us out, so why should I get some back. ”
You can't mention money in front of Liu Cheng, and when you mention money, this guy is full of little stars. Grab Yun Xiao and go to the dock outside the city to supervise the construction.
"Alright, take care of your wounds. It is estimated that in another half a month, seven or eight turtle boats should be built. To pacify these lake bandits, seven or eight ships are enough. ”
After looking around, Yun Xiao returned to his study and sat for a while. Meditation with your eyes closed is the most pleasant thing to do, and sometimes it is also a patient's unique right to be in a daze.
The results were glorious, but the costs were heavy. beheaded Xiang Sanqiu, but hurt his foundation. offended Dou Yuan and the old lady in Chang'an, and I don't know what kind of sequelae there will be. Anyway, when I returned to Chang'an, I planned that the cat would not come out of Zhuangzi. Give any official, just resign. This thing is too complicated, they are all a group of old foxes, and the person playing with them must be at least a young fox. Yun Xiao felt that he had no potential to be a fox. It's better to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
After seeing those wounded soldiers, Yun Xiao decided that he would never use cavalry to carry out such meaningless slashes again. I also got into the water in my brain, why did I choose such a tactic. The Hun cavalry, which was easy to get, lost half of this battle, and could not withstand such losses. In the future, cavalry can only be used to chase and destroy the remnants of the enemy, and must not be used for battlefield battles.
Yun Xiao sat in the study and summarized, and Dou Yuan lay on the couch and poured his breath. No illness, no injuries. Without him, angry.
The ducks in hand will be plucked and thrown into the pot. Actually flew away before he saw it, this damn kid actually fooled himself. All the evil things in Jiangdu City were to paralyze himself, and he sent him chicken, duck and fish meat by his mother. The cat is fed and knows to sleep for a while, this kid doesn't fucking sleep and bites.
also took away the credit for his own hand. Dou Ying hates it now, and he can't hear the cloud words in his ears. Just now, the concubine just said that there were clouds in the sky, and she was driven out by Dou Yuan with a few slaps.
That unlucky internal history has already thrown people directly into prison. At the critical moment, the horse actually pulled thin, and now let him face the net bucket every day to study how it was thin.
The purpose of the reward has not yet arrived, but the purpose of rebuke has come first. first reprimanded Yun Xiao for conniving at his subordinates for not respecting the law and wantonly destroying the official office. Then he reprimanded Yun Xiao for bullying the good, and the eunuch who announced the decree shook his head and scolded Yun Xiao for a long time, but in the end he was only punished for one year and ordered to rebuild the Jiangdu official office.
It's like a board lifted high and then gently dropped. Yun Xiao made a holy decree, so he ordered Dai Yu to go out to find a craftsman to repair the official office. It's just spending money, and the poor man is left with money.
After recuperating for two days, I saw that Dou Yuan had no intention of settling accounts with himself. Yun Xiao took the minions of the brigade to the dock by the river, and the will of the imperial court had not yet arrived. Once he was transferred back to Chang'an, he would suffer, and he would not get any benefits. This will go back to Chang'an, do you want to pay for the gold of the three carriages?
Eight turtle boats have begun to take shape, and the huge hulls of the ships stand tall on the riverside in the cold wind, attracting many people to point fingers. After Master Geng's calculations, the size of the turtle boat was modified. It is nine zhang long and nine zhang wide, and six zhang is six. The huge turtle head was carved into a tiger head, the dragon is Liu Qi's patent, Yun Xiao can't use it, but the tiger has no problem.
The huge hull was wide and flat, and the three-zhang high mast was made of a huge piece of wood. Painted with tung oil, it stood in the center of the ship, and the two-foot-high auxiliary sails on both sides stood on either side like two guards. There were countless shooting holes around the ship, and Yun Xiao could imagine how terrifying the crossbow arrows fired from it would be. (To be continued......)
