Chapter Ninety-One: Meetings

Yesterday's night was quite fierce, until late at night, the white turban thieves outside the city still dispatched men and horses to steal the city, but also returned in vain under the city wall defense system built by Lao Wang, it is said that the corpses at the foot of the wall were piled up to a height of three zhang, almost half of the city wall; the defenders had to use fire oil to ignite these piles of corpses mixed with the enemy and us, one was to prevent the epidemic, and the other was also afraid that the other party would borrow the corpse to attack the city, which was not unheard of in history.

That night, the smell of burnt paste spread throughout most of Luodu, and there were rumors on the streets that the white turban thieves were good at eating human flesh and roasting prisoners.

And because of this, the military hospital of the Taoist priest was crammed with people in the middle of the night, rough statistics, at least five or six hundred, which were all so seriously injured that they had to be hospitalized, and the injuries were also strange, some were broken by the opponent's stone thrower, some of the palms were burned by the boiling oil, and some were even shot through the belly by the other party, and their hands were still covered with hot intestines when they came.

Rao is Taoist priest has seen a lot of demons and monsters, and when he saw this scene, he almost couldn't help but vomit, and two of Xiao Fenghong's sisters were directly stunned, and they couldn't shake it back, so they could only take it out in the end.

That night, there were nine large water tanks in the inn, all of which were filled with black blood water, and the air was mixed with the smell of blood and medicinal herbs, and it was very smoky.

Fortunately, the preparations he made a few days ago were of great use, and with the cooperation of nearly 100 Lang Zhong, apprentices, servants, and gatekeepers, the seriously injured, the lightly injured, the scalded, and the dying, all of them were treated differently, and there were no wounded who died because they could not wait for treatment, and in the end, more than 400 of the 500 or 600 people were rescued on the spot.

But the problem is that looking at the numb eyes of these wounded soldiers and the injuries on their bodies, the Taoist priest knew that among the more than 400 people, it would be good to be able to go to the battlefield again.

Even Daoist Li was forced to go into battle last night, amputating the limbs of the three guys who had broken out the bone stubble, and those old men didn't dare to do this, but they were lucky enough to save two, but because of this, he didn't have the slightest appetite until noon, it was so fucking disgusting!

Now the Taoist priest and Miao Sansi are sitting at the door of the inn in a prostration, greasy, dirty and bloody, their eyes are blank, they can't sleep, and they can't talk when they're awake.

"Senior brother, why don't you eat some, there are still some steamed buns in the kitchen, and some pig's head meat. ”

The Taoist priest's belly made a series of screams to remind him that it was indeed time to eat.

"Let me in, I'll find your biggest official here, he's a Taoist priest!"

There was a shout not far away, and Daoist Li looked up to see that Dong and Xiaoyu were being blocked outside with anxious faces, this area had already been blocked by a circle of soldiers, how could ordinary people enter.

"Let them come in," the Taoist priest said weakly, as early as when the trebuchet was smashed, he quickly sent someone to ask around, the big beauty and the little beauty and the ugly Lori all live in the rich area in the center of the city, and the trebuchet can't hit there for the time being, there is no danger.

"Yes, my lord!" the soldier at the door said respectfully, no matter how the wounded soldiers next to him passed by, they had to nod and bend down, all kinds of gratitude, after these days' performance, the reputation of the Taoist priest in the wounded barracks is almost to the max level, although it is still useless.

"What do you smell like?" the little fish covered her nose as soon as she came.

"Dead man's smell. ”

"Ahh

"You go wash it first, Xiaoyu and I are not at ease, so I brought you some food," Dong's clothes are plain black, and even the veil on his head is black, as long as it is a family with some status, the female relatives of the family are not allowed to easily see outsiders.

"Don't go, the Taoist wants to be quiet alone," the Taoist priest said weakly.

"If you don't wash it, you're going to die!" Xiao Yu said dissatisfied, "My wife and I care about you so much, what kind of attitude do you have?"

"Dao Ye Jue is not far from death, which fairy sister is good, send Dao Ye and me out of the city, this job is simply not done by people!"

Seeing that the Taoist priest's state was really bad enough, Dong's beautiful eyes blinked, and said a few words to him in his ear, and this guy suddenly perked up: "Wash it, then wash it, wash it is healthier." ”

The Taoist priest is too lazy to move, but it is different to have a beautiful woman to help take a bath, next to the bucket, Dong took off his coat, leaving only a close-fitting narrow sleeve and short undergarment, outlining the beautiful figure, he is busy at the moment, two small hands are constantly wiping on his body, and he doesn't care about the dirt on the Taoist priest's body at all.

Beauty service, it's really comfortable, it seems that it is a critical step to unlock the top skill of mandarin duck bathing!

After taking a bath, the Taoist priest lay on the bed in his own room, as a leader, of course, there is a single room, at this moment, the two legs are being gently pinched by the bun-faced maid, and the head is pillowed on Dong's thigh, rubbing from time to time, occasionally opening his mouth, being gently fed a hot meal by the other party, without opening his eyes.

Miao Sansi, who was squatting next to him, nibbled on the cold and swishing steamed buns, and didn't even find the pig's head meat, his face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred; from time to time, he stretched his chopsticks into the lunch box, but was glared back by the bun-faced maid, "Are you qualified to eat the food cooked by your aunt and grandmother?"

“...... I heard that when Lord Wang was defending the city, he ordered to shoot the officers and soldiers outside the city?" Dong wanted to speak and stopped, but finally couldn't help but ask.

"You know all this, the news spreads so fast!" The Taoist priest was surprised, this news should not be blocked, he himself knew that it was normal, the inn was full of wounded soldiers, and he came out after a little inquiry, but if a deep lady like the Dong family heard about it, it means that the news has spread widely.

"Lao Wang, this thing is a bit crazy!" I didn't expect this old man to smile and be a ruthless master.

In fact, from another point of view, the Taoist priest can also understand the other party's approach, who didn't say that on the battlefield, there is no good or better decision, only not too bad arrangements; at that time, he only had two choices, one was to do nothing, let the other party swagger and cut people, and then the enemy's morale +50, our morale -50, collateral effect: the morale of the army is weakened, the white turban thief offensive bonus; the other is to be ruthless, the effect is, the enemy's morale is -20, our morale is -60, collateral effect: the army's morale is chaotic, increase the hidden hatred, reduce the people's morale.

This seems to be a pot no matter which one you choose, but Lao Wang is a veteran of the old age, and he chose the one that he thinks is the least harmful, which has nothing to do with right or wrong, and it is not something that ordinary people can do if they can make an idea at a critical moment;

Fortunately, these cavalrymen are all 'elites' transferred from various military stations in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are almost none in the city of Luodu, and the people's morale will not drop to the point of being a capital enemy for a while; as for the thoughts of the officers and soldiers defending the city, the Taoist priest does not dare to guarantee it, at least he has heard more than once that there are wounded soldiers secretly scolding Lao Wang for being cold-blooded and ruthless.

This is the matter, the reason is this reason, not their own people kill, others will also kill, but how can there be so many reasonable people in the world, especially when it is related to their own interests; maybe one day the old king will be stabbed by the brothers and friends of the deceased on the road, and the doctor can kill people, not to mention the military disaster.

The most worrying thing is not only this, but also the two major forces of bureaucrats and magnates in the city, the latter is better, as long as it is surnamed Zhu, even if it is not very helpful, the possibility of dragging its feet is not very high, and the white turban thieves like to cut off the relatives of you dog emperors the most, and the former is not very easy to say.

The discipline and character of the bureaucratic system have always been a mystery-like number, and the famous ministers who are full of character such as Wen Tianxiang, Hai Rui, and Yu Qian can also collapse into corruption, and chain power party struggles, but a considerable number of eunuch officials and idle old cadres live in Luodu City, who knows what these people think; although the white turban thieves do not bird each other very much, and they also cut one or two from time to time, but they can't stand people's mouths and soft bodies, and when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the number of officials who cut off their heads was not a few, and there were not many people who licked their butts.

Therefore, the Taoist priests can't figure out what these people think, or they don't know if the character of the officials in the city has dropped below 50, which has to be tested by time.

The main reason is that the way people rebel is too individual; the old saying often says that natural disasters and man-made disasters can only be caused by natural disasters, but the problem is that the small life of the common people is okay now, every family has food, and if they look through the history books, there are no successful cases of grassroots rebellion without external conditions.

But those bald cows outside are here, people don't take the route of disaster victims, they play elite mode, the White Turban Legion is more elite than the officers and soldiers, no one believes what falls from the sky, pick up the hoe and become a farmer, put down the hoe is a soldier? Are you playing a strategy game! If this has nothing to do with the spells of the Lotus Sect, you don't believe in killing Taoist priests.

This kind of high-level play has never been played from ancient times to the present, and even the Taoist priest does not know whether the other party has the possibility of success; in fact, the Taoist priest's discipline is not as high as imagined, and if the Taoist rebel organization on the other side is similar to the Yellow Turban Army, when the other party gains power, he will pinch his nose and bite his teeth, and it is estimated that he will be gone.

But the problem is that the other side is bald, if he is a Taoist practitioner who worships bald heads as the boss, face is still secondary, and the thunder in the sky will definitely chop him to the ground, and there is no scum left.

Therefore, the Taoist priest's performance of working so hard is not hardness, but it is not hard to be hard.

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a sudden knock at the door, "My lord, there is a general outside the door, please see you." ”

When he met, he found that he was still an acquaintance, the archer was big-eyed, and the other party looked at the Taoist priest with two female dependents, his expression was still calm, and he just said: "Dao Chief, after a stick of incense, the governor will hold a meeting, except for the soldiers and generals on duty, all the civil and military generals in the city must be present, and you are no exception." ”

"Dao Ye is not an official, okay okay, I promise to be on time," Li Daoshi muttered, and finally nodded in agreement, although he is only sent now, and has no official position, but in this situation, the size is also a person, no way, even the front-line combat has several commanders, he, the military hospital department, now he is the number one, and he can't even attend.

"There won't be any danger," Dong said worriedly.

"Cut, it has nothing to do with the Taoist master if there is danger, we are now a living Bodhisattva-level character, and I don't know how many people want to offer it. ”

Having said that, the Taoist priest himself also knows that Lao Wang is holding a meeting at this time, there must be a major event, and he may not be able to make any big plans, but this still has nothing to do with the Taoist master, since the establishment of our military hospital, there are two or three thousand patients treated, if there is no one, at least half of these people will not survive, and the remaining half, whether they can continue to fight or not has to be said.

Therefore, the results of Daoye's medical department are so good, even if Lao Wang doesn't reward him, he will definitely not find fault, and naturally he will not parachute officials to add to the blockage, and he won't hold a meeting if he has a meeting. (To be continued.) )
