Chapter 62: The Wounded on a Stretcher
Anyang County, although the state of war between Qin and Chu has not ended, but the atmosphere of confrontation between the two sides has been greatly reduced, the main force of the Qin army began to return to the Ying Mountains one after another, a part of the Thunder Army has set off to return to Yongdu, and the fleeing people gathered in Anyang County have also begun to set off home one after another.
Just like seven or eight years ago, they were looted, and most of the men were almost stripped of their clothes, with only a pair of pants to cover their shame. This looting behavior of the border army of the Qin State was an eye-opener for even their companions, the Thunder Army. The people of Anyang City, the older ones are used to this, before Zuo Lixing came to Anyang, they lived like this, almost every two to three years, the Qin army would come to such a trip. It wasn't until the strong rise of the Western Frontier Army that they had a good life for a few years.
But now, it's back to square one. The Chu army in Anyang was no longer able to protect them.
Zhang Xiaomei and others on Mao'er Mountain can see such returnees every day, walking in front of their eyes in batches, which makes their faces hot, as soldiers of the Chu State, seeing their own people being so humiliated but powerless, which makes them feel humiliated.
"The spies who went to Jingjing Pass are back." Scissors walked up to Zhang Xiaomei, "Where has now become the base camp of the border army of the Qin State, the border country of the Qin State is building a larger city with Jingjing Pass as the center, and in the future, it will be even more difficult for us to take back Jingjing Pass." ”
Zhang Xiaomei's face was calm, and he said after a while: "Take back the Jingjing Pass again?" Don't even think about it in five years. Unless Anyang has another commander similar to Zuo Shuai, but it took Zuo Shuai seven or eight years to successfully occupy half of the Luoying Mountains, this time is also that time, in the future, our life will be even more difficult. ”
And all the people were silent. The Qin people, who regained control of the Luoying Mountains, will definitely learn a lesson this time and will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
"Isn't there any news from the people sent to find Qin Tou'er? How many days has it been? Zhang Kitten looked at the scissors, a little anxious.
Scissors spread his hands, "The Luoying Mountain Range is so big, and now it is the territory of the Qin people, if you want to find Qin Tou, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”
"What the hell did Qin Tou do? We can't find him, he should find us easily, but why doesn't he come back? Could it be—" The wild dog stood barely with the support of the two soldiers, his eyes full of sorrow, but after sweeping the corner of his eye and feeling a plaster, he immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
"The Qin people are here again." The monk suddenly said, "Look, they're carrying a stretcher. The monk's face suddenly showed a look of horror, his eyes widened, and he looked at the few people around him.
In an instant, all the people fell silent, and the Qin people came to them carrying a stretcher, and the only person who was left in the death camp was only Qin Feng, the captain of the battalion.
Zhang Xiaomei suddenly pulled his legs and ran down the mountain, and after a while, the monk and the scissors also followed closely, standing comfortably in place, his body shook a few times, and a strong sense of foreboding made him almost unsteady on his feet.
"No, no, Boss Qin will be fine, right? It won't be him! The wild dogs on the side kept muttering, and their eyes were staring directly at the Qin people and stretchers that were gradually approaching at the bottom of the mountain.
With a snap, a plaster was accurately applied to his mouth, "Shut up!" Shu Chang scolded.
Zhang Xiaomei ran down Mao'er Mountain like a fly, and in the woods below the foot of the mountain, he met the group of Qin people. On the opposite side was an old acquaintance, the young Qin officer who had sent the letter up the mountain, and when he saw Zhang Xiaomei, he raised his hand, and the Qin soldiers carrying the stretcher stopped. None of them were armed with them, but at this time, Zhang Kitten didn't notice this.
The wind rolled to the side of the stretcher, Zhang Xiaomei finally saw the person on the stretcher clearly, and in an instant, the tense nerves in the whole body instantly relaxed, and the monk and the scissors both breathed a long sigh of relief, and the sound of the three exhaling was so obvious that the young Qin army officer actually laughed.
On the stretcher was not Qin Feng, who they were worried about, but the internal guard from the capital that Zhang Xiaomei knew, Guo Jiuling.
"Our scouts found your personnel in the Luoying Mountains, and General Bian said that in view of the fact that the two sides are now basically in a state of armistice, and the two sides will also meet and negotiate in Shangjing, in order to show our sincerity, we will return General Guo to you." The young officer raised his voice.
"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaomei arched his hand, no matter what, the other party's willingness to return a senior general of Chu like Guo Jiuling did release a certain amount of goodwill, "It's just that why didn't your army return him to the city?" ”
He pointed to Anyang City in the distance.
"I don't want to see the faces of those people in your city." The young officer smiled and said, "I prefer to deal with Chu people like you. They are a disgrace to the soldiers, and although you and I are enemies, I still have to say a word of admiration to you, hoping that one day, we will be able to fight on the battlefield. ”
"If you stay above the border, I think, there's a good chance." Zhang Xiaomei smiled. "Thanks again."
The monk and the scissors walked over, took the stretcher from Qin Bing's hands, turned around and walked towards the mountain. Zhang Xiaomei arched his hand to the young officer and said, "We owe favors, but we will definitely pay it back." ”
"I wish you would owe us more and more favors, but there will never be a time to pay them back." Young officers are-for-tat.
"Really? Then wait and see! Zhang Xiaomei sneered, "Farewell." ”
On the top of the mountain, Shu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not Qin Feng. With a backhand, he tore off the plaster on the wild dog's mouth with a thud, and the wild dog screamed in pain.
"How do you know it's not?" As soon as the mouth was free, the wild dog immediately asked.
"If it was Qin Feng, the three goods under the mountain now would definitely be like mourning, now seeing that they are walking easily, naturally it is not Qin Feng!" Shu Chang glanced at the wild dog and said.
"That's good, that's good!" The wild dog grinned, laughed, laughed for a while, and said: "Doctor, can you stop using plasters on my mouth in the future, look at me for a month, I can't even grow a beard, let others see it, and think I'm a little white face!" ”
Shu Chang chuckled, "It's the first time I've seen such a dark, ugly little white face." ”
The wild dog immediately blackened his face.
The stretcher was placed in front of Shu Chang, "Guo Jiuling, deputy commander of the internal guard, the head of the princess's guard." Zhang Xiaomei looked at Shu Chang, "Doctor, there is still a breath, see if you can save it?" This old guy might know the news of Qin Tou. ”
"I'd rather he didn't know." Shu Chang sighed: "Even Guo Jiuling was beaten into a dog, how can Qin Feng protect himself with that little ability?" If he really found Princess Zhaohua, it would be even worse. ”
With a sigh, he stretched out his hand to diagnose Guo Jiuling's pulse.
