Early in the morning, in the study room of Yanding City's Defensive House, in addition to Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe and two teenagers with wheat skin were sitting.
"Xiaofanzi, Xiaoxizi," Xiao Yi, who sat behind the book case, raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi, saying straight away, "The two of you have made contributions this time. In the future, do you want to stay behind, or go to battle to kill the enemy?"
To stay in the rear is naturally to do logistics. Although it is not possible to achieve great military merits, it wins in relative safety. After triumphant return, their family background can also have a good future. The battlefield in front is a crisis and opportunity. The coexisting place may be wrapped in a horse leather, or it may be famous!
It can be said that there are always choices.
Yu Jia and Chang Jia sent them to the front line, although they were in order to gain a future, but they certainly did not want them to hinder their lives.Since this is a reward after meritorious service, Xiao Yi will not make a decision for them.
Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi glanced at each other. They lived in Yanding City these days. Although they didn’t experience the battlefield, they saw the ten houses and nine empty streets, saw the dead bodies. The soldiers' condolences to their companions... They also clearly realized the cruelty of the war, and they are no longer as naive as when they first arrived.
Bloody man, why fear the Ma Ge Shroud?
Huo Di stood up and knelt on one knee uniformly for the military salute, unanimously said, "Sire, we are going to battle!"
Their voices were clanging and powerful, and every word sounded loudly.Yu Xiufan changed his name to Xiao Yi to show his determination.
"Okay!" Xiao Yi laughed and looked at the two of them with joy. "Then Shizi will put you two into the forward camp. How about being a coach?"
The two teams in the forward battalion are one village, and there is one village chief for every 100 people. Although the position of the village chief is not high, it is also a small leader.
"Thank you Shiziye." The two teenagers responded again in unison, standing up.
Fu Yunhe, who was on the side, praised and said, "Xiao Fanzi is kind!" They didn't embarrass them!
Fu Yunhe and Yu Xiufan exchanged a knowing look.
Yu Xiufan straightened his chest proudly, and after a while, he laughed plainly and said: "Brother, how could the younger brother give you a disgrace! Brother, you just wait for my younger brother to give you a long face. "He boasted cheeky.
Chang Huaixi's eyes twitched silently.
Xiao Yi encouraged a few words and sent the three of them away.
As soon as he came out of the study room, Fu Yunhe grabbed Yu Xiufan with one hand, and Chang Huaixi with one hand, and said boldly: "Xiaofanzi, Xiaoxizi, today you two will be promoted to the ranks, and I will take you to celebrate."
In these days, Chang Huaixi has been called more by Xiaoxizi, and he got used to it unconsciously.He thought to himself that there was nothing to celebrate for a small village chief. He was about to refuse, but Yu Xiufan grabbed the head and said covetously, "Okay! Xiaohezi, what are you going to ask us to eat?" ?"
"Hey..." Fu Yunhe pretended to be mysterious, "Don't you know if you come with me?"
In the discourse room, the three went out of the defense house, followed by Fu Yunhe leading the way, all the way to the direction of the city gate, and finally came to a small stall near the city gate——
Eat flat food!
Looking at the two young boys who were disgusted, Fu Yunhe smiled and patted the two of them: "This flat lady's flat food is good, try it all!" He greeted skillfully, "Boss, give three bowls of flat food!"
The chubby lady boss responded in full spirits, and after a while, she served three bowls of flat food.
I saw that in the soup, a little soy sauce was added to freshen it, and a drop of sesame oil was added to add fragrance. The enticing aroma spread out with the heat and burrowed straight into the nasal cavity, causing the three young men to salivate quickly and drool.
Originally somewhat disgusted, Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi didn't wait for Fu Yunhe to greet them, so they picked up chopsticks and spoons, and ate all the flat food in a hurry, and then finished the soup. The soldiers are almost the same.
Speaking of this, Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi felt bitter, and they also wanted to eat wisely, but in this army, the soldiers held chopsticks one by one like a robber, and the chopsticks moved slowly. , Just wait for hunger.Fortunately, they came with some silver when they came out of the house. It was only during these days that they were not hungry and thin, but they were not full.
At this time, Fu Yunhe also swallowed the last hot soup, and said with a smile: "Xiaofanzi, Xiaoxizi, I will take the soldiers out of the city in a moment, everything will be simpler today, and I will invite you to drink after I come back... …"He wanted to talk about going to the restaurant, but when he came to his mouth, he suddenly thought that there is no good restaurant in Yanding City. That is, some people put up some small stalls for their livelihood. In fact, most of the guests who come to eat are them. Those of the Southern Xinjiang Army are just fine.
After thinking about it, Fu Yunhe changed his mouth and said, "I invite you to eat barbecue!"
Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi were more concerned about Fu Yunhe's need to bring troops out of the city. Does it mean that Shizi Ye would launch a raid on Dengli City?
The two looked at each other quickly, and the same speculation appeared in their eyes.
Chang Huaixi suddenly remembered the reason why he and Yu Xiufan were transferred to the forward camp. Thoughtful: Will Fu Yunhe's trip be related to the official road leading to Dengli City?
Thinking, Chang Huaixi couldn't help but glanced at Fu Yunhe quickly.
Fu Yunhe also noticed Chang Huaixi's look, but didn't say much.
Chang Huaixi guessed right. Fu Yunhe's taking troops out of town this time is indeed related to the official road leading to Dengli City.In the past few days, Xiao Yi sent spies to explore the area and found that several Nanliang carriages drove through the official road to Dengli City. Guan Yubai also ran again for this reason. This official route is likely to be the only way for the Nanliang people to deliver military food and other materials.
After discussing with Mandarin Bai, Xiao Yi decided to let Fu Yunhe take a team of God Arm Battalions to investigate there and wait for an ambush.
Fu Yunhe, who received the military order, also raised 120,000 points of attention, hoping that this trip could be accomplished quickly!
Fu Yunhe looked at the sky and said, "It's almost time, I should start."
"Xiaohezi, let's take you out of the city." Yu Xiufan busy.
The three men went to the city gate together. At the moment, there was a black squat at the gate of the city. One thousand god arm battalion soldiers had been lined up in a phalanx. They were standing by. , Released a sharp killing intention.
Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi couldn't help but stop, and they were sedated by the kind of murderous blows.Although they thought they were ready to go to the battlefield, when they saw such an elite force that was invincible on the battlefield appearing in front of them, they found that they were far from enough.
In the complex eyes of the two youngsters, Fu Yunhe strode forward to the thousand soldiers and skillfully consolidated the soldiers. The sound of laughter on weekdays became so penetrating at this time, coming from dozens of feet away , Echoing in their ears.
Fu Yunhe's expression is more like a person. His expression is cold, his eyes are fierce, and there is a deterrent momentum. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi can hardly imagine the general in front of him, the one who was with them just on the street. The elder brother eating flat food in the stall.
Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and their expressions became dignified.
Soon, at the order of Fu Yunhe, a thousand god arm battalion soldiers headed him and left the city one after another. Everything was so orderly. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi stood in the distance and stared at them in a daze. Lopsided.
Immediately, Fu Yunhe turned back and looked towards the city wall, and compared a gesture to someone on the city wall, meaning, just wait for his good news.
On the city wall, looking down at the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth with a slight hook, silently watched Fu Yunhe and his party leave...
Several people stood beside Xiao Yi, including Mandarin Bai, Li Yunqi, and Jing Qian. Until the thousand soldiers disappeared from the horizon, the crowd did not take their eyes off.
"Li Xiaowei!" Xiao Yi suddenly turned to look at Li Yunqi.
Li Yunqi hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "I don't know what Shizi Ye told me?"
Xiao Yizheng said: "Li Xiaowei, I don't want to hide it. Now Yanding City is full of waste, and the staff is tense, please forgive me for taking the time to take the trouble of Li Xiaowei in some cities. I don't know what Li Xiaowei intended. ?"
Li Yunqi's face was stiff, and he clenched his fists with righteous words: "Xiao Shizi, there is an emperor's life under him, he must escort Hou Zhouquan." He came to southern Xinjiang this time to be an escort, but secretly also led the surveillance of ease Hou, in order to prevent it from colluding with the king of Zhennan.He is not a South Xinjiang Army, and even if Xiao Yi is the King of South China, he is not qualified to order himself.
Xiao Yi didn't care about Li Yunqi's refusal, he still smiled and said: "Li Xiaowei, the emperor ordered you to protect An Yihou Zhouquan all the way, but now that An Yihou has arrived in southern Xinjiang, Li Xiaowei should also be flexible."
With that in mind, Xiao Yi's eyes were sharper, and Li Yunqi's heart was awkward, and he thought of a certain problem.
Today, the battle between the Nanjiang Army and the Nanliangs is not over for a day, and it is not possible to help Kuilang to restore Baiyue, and he can only continue to stay in Nanjiang. I don’t know the year of the monkey.
There is a saying: "Qianlong does not suppress the head snake", he needs to rely on the father and son of Zhennan in southern Xinjiang, and it is not appropriate to make the relationship between the two sides too rigid. Now Xiao Yi just let him temporarily defend the city. Affairs, it is not for him to go to the front to fight, it seems that there is no need to blow Xiao Yi's face for this little thing.
Li Yunqi thought for a while, and finally got off.
Xiao Yi laughed inwardly, and ordered Jing Qian to take Li Yunqi to office as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that Li Yunqi and Jing Qian went far away, Xiao Yi squeezed his eyebrows at the official Mandarin Bai for a while, and his eyes seemed to say that he had finally sent the troublesome guy off.Since this Li Xiaowei likes to stare at people so much, then let him go to the Nanliang captives and supervisors and find something to do, so that he can be idle, like a mosquito buzzing around you from time to time. Spinning around.
Mandarin Bai only smiled faintly, but Xiao Si rarely gave Xiao Yi an admiring look.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, pedaling, a soldier in armor came running hurriedly, then kneeled on one knee, and solemnly clenched his fist, said: "Shiziye, there has appeared again in the camp. Dozens of soldiers have stomach upsets, vomiting and diarrhea, and people have been sent to the wounded barracks. In addition, there are more than a hundred soldiers with stomach upsets today and tomorrow. The military doctors have rushed View..."
The problem of gastrointestinal discomfort is not much, not too small, so far no soldiers in and around Yanding city have lost their lives due to gastrointestinal discomfort, but they did not dare to ignore it.
A few days ago, at the beginning of the camp, hundreds of soldiers had eaten their stomachs. After being treated by military doctors and taking two or three days of medicine, they finally recovered.
But after that, the gastrointestinal discomfort spread like a contagious wind and cold, and in the past few days, soldiers often had symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.Xiao Yi specially sent military doctors to strictly investigate what they had eaten, but after a few days, they found nothing special. Even Xiao Yi suspected whether there was a problem with the military food, but after repeated inspections, he did not find any military food. Signs of mildew.
What went wrong?!
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai exchanged glances, both of them looked dignified.This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the health of the soldiers, and it will continue in the future.
"Xiao Bai," Xiao Yi touched his nose. "Are you talking about water or food? Is anyone secretly poisoning?" His usual casual face showed a rare dignity.If it was poisoning, wouldn’t the people involved be hidden in the army?
Guan Yubai didn't speak, and there are a lot of strange things in this matter.
Xiao Yi said again: "It seems that I can only cheat my grandfather with his cheeky old man..."
He gave the bamboo a look, and the bamboo took his life away, and went to the garrison house to ask Lin Jingchen.
After two incense sticks, a group of people went to the wounded barracks together. Along the way, Xiao Yi explained to Lin Jingchen the strange things that happened in the past few days.
The wounded battalion is temporarily located in an empty house not far from the city gate. After the recovery of Yanding City, the soldiers who were seriously injured or even disabled were wounded here. Today, almost all the wounded soldiers have raised seven. In seven hundred eighty-eight, the wounded barracks were mostly soldiers with diarrhea and vomiting.
The two military doctors heard Xiao Yi coming and hurried out of the hall to welcome them.
This hall is composed of five large rooms. In order to accommodate the wounded soldiers, the various tables and chairs in the original room, bottles and jars were almost evacuated, and only a straw mat was simply laid on the ground. As a ground floor.
Although the military doctor had opened all the fans in the hall for ventilation and ventilation, but when he entered the hall, he could still smell a nasty vomit and odor, and a few soldiers were facing him. The basin made gagging from time to time, and yellow and white vomit can be seen everywhere...
Ordinary people in this scene will be shocked and out of the door just watching and listening.
However, Xiao Yi and Mandarin Bai are not ordinary people. Although they are young, they are both generals who have been through battles. The disgusting and horrible pictures on the battlefield have not been seen. What can make them easily moved.Lin Jingchen has been practicing medicine for many years. Scenes like this are commonplace. Even Han Qixia, who is carrying a medicine chest, looks as usual, attracting the surprised eyes of the two military doctors. She can not help but glance at the girl.
Lin Jingchen went to a soldier who was vomiting without hesitation, and ordered Han Qixia to prepare a needle.His movements were extremely skillful. He took a pulse, pricked a needle, and snapped his fingers. The soldier who was spitting out jaundice quickly stopped vomiting. A military doctor hurriedly helped the soldier to lie down.
Lin Jingchen continued to prick needles and stop vomiting for five or six soldiers. Several women who came to fight and hurried to help them clean up briefly.
After Lin Jingchen gave the soldiers who vomited and diarrhea stabilized his condition first, and then gave another dozen soldiers a pulse, he went to talk with Xiao Yi and Mandarin.
"Maternal grandfather," Xiao Yi quickly asked, "how?" But poisoning?
Lin Jingchen shook his head: "Ai, they have no signs of poisoning."
This seems to be good news, at least to rule out the possibility of criminals in the army.But Xiao Yi and Mandarin Bai still couldn't be relieved, it wasn't poisoning, then why?
Lin Jingchen, Xiao Yi and Guanyu Bai looked at each other.
The official language Bai said thoughtfully without saying a word. The first camp and the Xuanfeng camp were stationed on the east and southeast sides of the city, and the cruising camp was responsible for patrolling and guarding the surrounding areas. Although there are daily routes, but overall It’s not so easy to move against them... wait!Patrol route...
Guan Yu Bai thought of something, squinted slightly, and then suddenly raised his eyes and said: "Ai, I remember there is a geese coming out of the east suburb of Yanding City?"
Xiao Yi nodded, also thinking of something, his eyes lit up, and Lin Jingchen said in line: "Water!"
The Yanlai River flows two or three miles from the outside of Yanding City, and flows from the southeast to the east. It is one of the important water sources near the camps where Xiandengying and Xuanfengying are stationed. The patrol route of Yuyingying last night should also be the area...
The more the three thought, the more likely this possibility was.
"Old Doctor Lin," the official language said solemnly, "I'm afraid I will trouble you old man to follow us again."
"Xiao Bai, why should you be so polite with your grandfather." Xiao Yi patted Guan Yu Bai's shoulder with a hearty look and looked at Lin Jingchen with a smile, "It's all from my family!"
Lin Jingchen nudged his beard and laughed: "Yes, all from his family."
After a pause, he said in earnest: "The doctor's parents' heart is public and private, and the official Houye does not need to be so polite." Yu privately, Xiao Yi called his grandfather anyway; Yu Gong, his military sentiment towards South Xinjiang It is very important that you, as the people of Dayu, are of course incumbent.
"I knew my grandfather loved me." Xiao Yi said with a smile, and the group left the injured barracks again, and went all the way to the Yanlai River.
The Yanlai River is not far from the city. Within half an hour, everyone saw a clear river in front, gurgling water, sparkling waves in the sun, blue sky above, green water and green trees, rippling with the wind.
The beautiful scenery on the outskirts eased everyone's tense feelings a little.
"Sister Xia..." Lin Jingchen called out, and Han Qixia understood that he took some water from a water bag and marked it.
After Lin Jingchen tried the river water, he shook his head, and the people went all the way along the Yanlai River. Every tens of feet away, Han Qixia and the bamboo took the water with the water bag. After a while, there were more than a dozen in the basket A bulging water sac.
I don't know how long he walked. Han Qixia went to the river again to get water, but was stopped by Lin Jingchen. He walked to the river and flicked his left hand freely into the river. There was a white petal on his fingertips. Thoughtful.
"Maternal grandfather, what's wrong with this petal?" Han Qixia asked.
Lin Jingchen said uncertainly: "Looking at the petals, it might be Qianmanlan. The fragrance of the flowers was washed away by the river. I have only seven or eight points to grasp... Let's continue to go upstream!"
With that said, he could not wait to walk forward, his face dignified and his gaze gleamed.
Xiao Yi and Guan Yu glanced at each other and quickly followed.
Wow...
The water in the upper reaches of the Yanlai River is turbulent, and from time to time everyone sees the white petals drifting along with the water...
After walking for another moment, Zhu pointed to the front with excitement: "Grandpa, is that what you said Qian Manlan?"
Going to Bailai Zhang, you can see a large forest of flowers by the river. The white flowers on the branches are competing to bloom. The autumn wind blows from the outskirts. The white sea of flowers trembles in the wind like snow and clouds. , Spectacular.
As everyone approached, you could smell a faint fragrance, and white petals fluttered in the wind, blowing on everyone's face, falling on the ground, and falling into the river water, forming a white flower rain...
