Han Dao world

Chapter 93 Homeless

Liu Xie was also taken aback and subconsciously stood up.

"Where are the people?"

He also mentioned Cai Yan to Jia Xu last night. Jia Xu said that it had been too long, and he was afraid that something bad would happen. He was overjoyed to hear the news of Cai Yan's rescue now.

"Washing up." Yang Xiu's face twitched, subconsciously covering his nose. "She made herself very dirty in order to protect herself. Before seeing you, she has to take a shower and change clothes."

Liu Xie let out a sigh of relief, and then took another look at Yang Xiu. "You knew each other before?"

Yang Xiu nodded. "Cai Bojie and my father once studied together in Dongguan, and they have a friendship as colleagues. I also met Cai Yan several times when I was young, but... she married Hedong later and never saw her again. Today in Li Shiying Met, really...shocked me."

When Yang Xiu recalled the scene at that time, he still found it unbelievable.

This is too far from the impression Cai Yan left on him.

Who would have thought that that clever lady with a full body of poetry and books would be mixed with a group of disheveled people, and her body was full of stench.

People in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs, he has a personal experience.

Before that, even though he knew the cruelty of the Xiliang Army, and knew that the Kanto and Kansai were severely damaged by the Xiliang Army, they were far away from him after all, and had no direct relationship.

Seeing Cai Yan, he realized that the impact of this war is so great that no one can stay out of it.

Liu Xie didn't feel as deeply as Yang Xiu did.

No matter how miserable Cai Yan is now, she is not as miserable as she was in history.

In terms of losses, it may be that "Poetry of Sadness and Indignation" and "Eighteen Beats of Hujia" will most likely not be able to be written.

"Tell me about the situation over there, how many spoils can there be?" Liu Xie urged.

This is what bothers him the most now.

The battle is won, but there are not enough material rewards. How can this boost morale?
Li Shi was beaten away, as well as Li Jue, the more difficult battle was yet to come.There is no new source of soldiers, so we can only tap the potential of the existing soldiers and fight with Li Jue.

It is said that there are brave men under heavy rewards, let alone heavy rewards now, there is no wine and meat to celebrate, so how can they boost morale?
Yang Xiu shook his head, still not recovering from what happened to Cai Yan. "Although there are a lot of spoils of war, most of them are taken by Duan Yan's subordinates, and at most [-]% can be controlled by the imperial court."

"Only [-]%?" Liu Xie was disappointed. "Is it enough for the soldiers to celebrate?"

Li Shi only has more than a thousand riders, even if he has supplies for half a month, [-]% is not much more.

"It should be enough." Yang Xiu was a little surprised.

Is Your Majesty too greedy? Although [-]% is not much, it should be enough to celebrate.If it is insufficient, it may mean that there is insufficient meat. After all, he cannot eat people like Li Shi.

"Roughly how many?"

Yang Xiu pinched his fingers and calculated the score. "A total of about [-] shi of food was seized, and [-]% is considered as [-] shi. Our army has more than [-] soldiers and family members. A meal consumes two liters, and [-] shi is about the same. There is less meat. The total number of cattle and sheep is less than a hundred, but with the injured horses, it should be almost the same."

Yang Xiu pondered for a moment, then said confidently: "A person should have half a catty of flesh."

Liu Xie was surprised.

He didn't have much intuitive feeling for these numbers, but he was surprised that everyone could eat enough and there was still a lot of surplus.

"Is there so much food in Li Shiying's camp?"

"Ah? Ah!" Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he couldn't help but laugh. "Your Majesty does not know that war horses can be freed at ordinary times, but they must be fed during wartime, mainly soybeans and millet. War horses eat a lot, and a war horse eats two to three times a day, which is equivalent to five strong men..."

Liu Xie was speechless.

A war horse eats so much food?It is actually equivalent to five strong men, and the consumption of one knight is equal to six infantry.

No wonder the Central Plains can't afford horses, which are too good to eat.

"In that case, that should be enough." Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful.

Fortunately, Yang Xiu and Guo Wu seized Li Shi's camp and won the most lucrative spoils, otherwise he could only beg for Duan Yan.

"Dezu, you have made a great contribution." Liu Xie patted Yang Xiu's shoulder in relief.

Yang Xiu smiled openly.

He is also proud of his quick response.If he was one step slower at that time, these spoils of war might have belonged to Yang Feng.

"Your Majesty, Guo Wu is the first to win these trophies." Yang Xiu thought about it, and felt that it would be better to be humble. "If it wasn't for Guo Wu who led the cavalry to go first, and then picked and killed the hundreds of generals guarding the camp, scaring off the knights guarding the camp, it would not have been so easy to succeed."

"Guo Wu is meritorious, and you are also meritorious." Liu Xie felt relieved as a big stone fell to the ground.He looked at Yang Xiu again, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have cooperated well during this time. Dezu, don't you think he is vulgar and illiterate?"

Yang Xiu was a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. Your Majesty wants to conquer the world, and it is time to employ people. Although I cannot go to battle to kill the enemy, I have the responsibility to recommend a strong general for your majesty. Private useless public."

Liu Xie nodded. "Your words sound a bit like Uncle Sun Tong."

Yang Xiu had a mediocre taste and didn't say anything.

-

When night fell, Guo Wu escorted a batch of spoils back to the camp.

He was not in a good mood.

Most of the spoils were taken away by Duan Yan's subordinates, although he wanted more, but the cavalry around him were almost all Duan Yan's men.He couldn't speak alone, and he was worried about causing conflicts, so he had to swallow his anger.

After careful calculation, it seems that Duan Yan's efforts and gains are almost equal, and he got a favor in vain.

Hearing this news, Liu Xie was also very helpless.

The emperor did nothing.

But now is really not the time to turn against Duan Yan, let alone because of this spoil.

A tougher battle is about to begin, and he still needs Duan Yan to stop Zhang Ji.

Liu Xie comforted Guo Wu and ordered someone to bring Cai Yan up.

After bathing and washing, Cai Yan appeared in front of Liu Xie, although he didn't have any fancy clothes and was frighteningly thin, he looked quite refreshed.The excitement of being reborn after the catastrophe has not yet passed, and her mental state is also good.

In front of Liu Xie, she bowed to the ground, her wet hair fell from her shoulders after the bath, her hair was thin and dry, her scalp could be seen faintly, and the strands of white hair were particularly glaring.

"Concubine Chen Liu Cai Yan, I have met His Majesty."

Liu Xie raised his hand to help, and asked a not-so-tactful question. "How did you... how did you come here these few years?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly added a sentence. "I mentioned you to my attendant Jia Xu yesterday, and he said that there are more bad things than good things."

Cai Yan shuddered involuntarily, and after a long silence, he said: "The fish in the dry rut, who live by stealth, only hope for a gentleman's car, and call in the middle way. Fortunately, God has mercy, see you again, gentleman."

Liu Xie didn't ask any more questions. "Among the ministers and ministers of the imperial court, who do you know well and can you temporarily attach to?"

Cai Yan frowned slightly.

Before that, she had already learned about the current situation from Yang Xiu and Guo Wu, but she couldn't find anyone to turn to.

"Among the court ministers, my concubine's father is the closest to Taifu Magong and Taiwei Yanggong. It's just that the Taifu is in the Guandong to recruit, and the Taiwei is going to the east of the river. I am afraid that the water will not quench my thirst. If I can see Mrs. Yuan , or you can ask for a place to stay."

Liu Xie looked at Yang Xiu. "Is the Mrs. Yuan she mentioned Lingtang?"

Yang Xiu nodded. "Cai Bojie and my mother have known each other for many years, and they are considered family friends. It's just that the two armies are at war, so I'm afraid it's not safe."

Liu Xie let out an "oh" and thought about it. "How about this, my sister-in-law lives alone, let her live with my sister-in-law temporarily. After repelling Li Jue, send her to your house."
