Chapter 224 What's the matter
Chapter 224 What's the matter
Lu Guan did not urge him. In the battle tonight, almost 30% of the Taiji's soldiers were killed, and many more were injured.
Since he had fled here in misery and was unable to provide a good settlement for his surviving soldiers and family members, it was hard to say whether he could keep his position as Taiji.
While he was walking slowly and waiting for an answer, Shen Changsui on the other side had already led the team back.
As soon as he got off his horse, he went to look for the wounded by the fire. Under the guidance of Sun Mi, he met several brothers who were seriously injured and unable to move.
After he comforted them and left, he asked, "Where are the two brothers who died in battle?"
"Stop on the other side. When it's daybreak and someone finds more firewood, we'll prepare for cremation." Sun Mi had already made arrangements. He said, "The four families just said to bury all the dead in a big pit."
"Let's negotiate and burn as much as possible. The weather is getting warmer in early spring, and it is also important to prevent diseases." Shen Changsui meant to eliminate hidden dangers so that he would not be infected with any diseases when the official army of the Great Zhou Dynasty attacked later.
Sun Mi was indeed a scout and a secret agent of the Guards Department. He quickly said with a look of understanding, "Yes, I will mark the location for relatives to visit and pay homage to in the future."
The two of them conveyed their true intentions in an instant. Shen Changsui rubbed his brows and said, "Have you seen where Xiaoye is? Forget it, let's report the number of casualties first."
“Our casualties were as high as fifty or sixty, including thirty-two killed in action and the rest wounded.
There are seven or eight seriously injured. The two Taoist priests are trying their best to treat them. Maybe one or two can be saved." The number of miles reported by Sun Mi did not include their team.
He said, "Miss Shen and the women of the Butai family are making medicine together."
Shen Changsui digested the news and nodded. "Where are the enemies?"
"So far, 72 Wa people have died and an unknown number of injured, but their original strength of nearly 300 people has been reduced." In this battle, both sides had a lot of actual combat experience.
Sun Mi wanted to go out to gather information before, but his superior ordered him to guard his own rear, and he was also ordered to do the same with those women dressed as men.
That’s right, his superior is Captain Xia of the Xia Guard.
He added: "I told Miss Shen that Master Lu had not returned to the team, but she said nothing.
Then, I worked with everyone in an orderly manner to rescue people or finish off enemies, and have been busy until now, cooking delicious food. "
"Let her be busy while the New Year is here." Shen Changsui had no intention of calling her away. As soon as he took a step, he suddenly remembered something, "Have you arranged for someone to check the camp of Wa Li?"
Sun Mi: "Yes, but they are a little far away, and our Tiqi haven't replied yet."
Shen Changsui was quite satisfied with his deployment. "Well, that's all about the arrows."
Just as he finished explaining, he heard Xiao Ye's voice, "Uncle, you're back."
Shen Xiaoye ran over quickly, and when she saw his bandaged arm, her smiling face turned into worry: "The injury is on the right arm."
"It doesn't matter. It won't affect your ability to hold a pen in the future." Shen Changsui raised his arm for her to see.
Shen Xiaoye unwrapped it without hesitation, and after seeing that no bones were injured, he quickly bandaged it and said, "Let's switch to Taoist Hengxi's medicine tomorrow. It will be more effective."
"Okay." In fact, what he is using now is what Taoist Master Hengxi gave him before. "Have you finished boiling the medicine?"
"It has been distributed to the wounded." Shen Xiaoye nodded, "Can I discuss something with you in private?"
"I still have to go and hand over to Guard Xia, so I'll take my leave first." Sun Mi spoke immediately and quickly retreated.
Shen Changsui and the others walked a long way, and then took her to the side before asking, "What's the matter?"
Shen Xiaoye lowered her voice slightly: "Qiqige from the Butai family told me that her brother once said that there is another branch of their family under the rule of Grand Tutor Alu, who has been guarding the fields along the Anen River and cultivating them all year round.
She asked me if you could ask Bart to discuss sending her, her sister-in-law and her nephew there.
"She trusts you so much that she tells you her secrets and asks me for help?" The implication is, little girl, have you been cheated?
The little black cat, who had the same idea as him, once again came out of the bag, meowed and jumped into his arms, whispering, "She must have been deceived by that gentle and smiling woman."
"Shh." Shen Changsui glanced around to stop it from speaking again.
Shen Xiaoye said: "I don't think she is lying, but you can't discuss it with Bart.
We can send her to find her relatives, and it will also be a good excuse to check out the terrain."
“In this case, we can give it a try if we have the chance in the future.
But the premise is that Bart is willing to let her go. You can nod and agree to help, but there is no guarantee that you can help. "Shen Changsui made a decision quickly.
"Later, ask Barte about his relationship with her. I remember that the daughter of the Butai family has reached marriageable age." Since they wanted to infiltrate the enemy, they had obtained information about all the officials in Liangzhou before setting off.
It has to be said that during this period, the Gongwei Division was under the control of the emperor, and with abundant money, food and power, its business capabilities were very strong.
She nodded heavily and agreed: "I will act according to circumstances. Is there any news about Lu Guan yet?"
"No."
……
Lu Guan, who had no news, finally found something to burn for warmth because they arrived at a weathered earth wall made of rammed earth.
"Is this the former post station of the Northern Tartar court?" Lu Guan had no intention of taking a closer look and quickly picked up some things that had become rotten wood.
He was not afraid that Morichi would run away. His foot was injured. When he was tripped off the horse, he didn't know whether his calf was fractured or sprained. He had been hanging on the horse's back for a long time, and now his injured leg was swollen. He could not walk, let alone ride a horse.
Molichi took the medicine given by Lu Guan and applied it. The fire was not big. He shuddered and said, "It's the post station. I have seen some over in Waqi.
I heard from the elders that the former capital, Helin, also disappeared in the war started by the Great Zhou in the early years. "
He looked at Lu Guan. This man had a lot of medicine in his hands, including those for external injuries, internal medicine, and parasite removal. What were their origins?
In his opinion, this person doesn’t look like a Dada, nor does he look like a Waqi person. Um... a Great Zhou person?
Morichi became cautious and alert, retracted his gaze and continued to apply the medicine.
"Oh, that place was not destroyed by the Great Zhou. Instead, it was destroyed by the Khan who first occupied the Central Plains when he was fighting for the Khanship." Lu Guan added firewood and took out the hard biscuits from his backpack to bake.
Morichi looked up: "The old people won't lie to me."
Lu Guan laughed at him: "They themselves have been deceived, because you have no history books, but my Central Plains dynasty has recorded history from generation to generation."
“You are indeed from the Great Zhou, so why are you traveling with our Dada tribe?
Why don't you stay in the rich Zhou Dynasty and run to the grassland to eat the wind and sand?" Moli Chi could see some of the appearance of his own clan from the faces of the heads of Wu Erji's family.
Lu Guan laughed again: “Of course I am from the Great Zhou, but I am not rich, so I came here to try my luck.
If I'm not careful, I'll be able to get a high position and a lot of money in the Khan's court, so it's worth the risk. How about it, do you want to go together?"
