Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 174 Action
Qin was defeated in the first battle against Rui.

The morale of the Qin army was greatly damaged, and the morale of Rui was greatly improved.

The head coach Bai Sheng broke a leg, and the deputy head coach Tian Mu took the initiative to take the responsibility and wrote a letter of apology.

The king of Qin was aware of the situation, removed Bai Sheng from his position as the head coach, and ordered him to go back to Xianyang immediately for trial.

In addition, King Qin promoted Tian Mu to be the commander-in-chief to lead the crusade against Rui.

Tian Mu convened all the generals to sum up the lessons, and believed that the Qin army's attack on Rui violated the taboo of military strategists.Thinking that the country of Rui is a small country, they underestimate the other party too much, sabotage their work and advance aggressively, and are reckless and impulsive.Don't you know that you have to do your best to attack a small country.

Tian Mu ordered the Qin army to rest and recuperate at Xiaguan, and then choose an opportunity to enter Rui after the morale recovered.At the same time, scouts were constantly sent to find out the situation in Guxia Ridge, so as to eliminate the traps before the army moved forward.

Tian Mu rectified the military style, changed from rushing forward before, and fought steadily again.

On the other side of Rui country, the people of Rui country are also actively preparing for the battle.

Ruidu has a permanent population of nearly [-].In this day and age, it is definitely a big city.

Rui Jiang issued an order to recruit strong men from the mountains outside the city. As long as they are willing to come, they will have the status of Chinese citizens and distribute housing and food.

She ordered people to build many shacks along the inner wall of the city.The housing allocated by Xin Guoren is here.

In this way, these new Chinese are the closest to the city wall, and it is very convenient for work and support.At the same time, they will also be the first wave of cannon fodder after the Qin army entered the city.

Everyone understands this truth in their hearts, but many people are still unwilling to give up this opportunity.

For ordinary people, there are two worlds outside the city.Entering the city is like going to heaven.

Laiqi Village has entered a fully closed state.

During the day and night, patrols are divided into twelve groups in shifts, with handovers every two hours.Every time two groups patrol in reverse, along the two lines of the small city wall and the village.

There are also people on duty in the watchtower on the small city wall to keep abreast of what's going on down the mountain.

The school is closed.The sacrificial temple is still open, and the medical center is also open.

The incense in the temple seems to be better than usual, and many people come here to pray for the safety of their families who joined the army.These people are wildlings from nearby villages.After Ruidu closed the city, no one in the city could leave the city.

Lin Xiaoxiao has been sitting in the medical clinic for the past few days.A lot of people came to buy medicine for sores, but Lin Xiaoxiao half sold it and half gave it away.She also specifically told everyone to pay attention to the wound treatment after the injury.

Summer is not conducive to defending the city, and it is easy to be caught in a fire. In winter, many methods of strengthening the city wall are not easy to use.

Lin Xiaoxiao went to the capital again at night.

I went to see Rui Qi and Rui Ba first, and asked them about the situation in the city.

When the preparations for the war were just announced, the morale in the city was low.Later, when the news of the victory at Guxia Ridge came, Rui Jiang mobilized in the city for three consecutive days, and his morale was finally boosted.

Now everyone in the city is a soldier.The formations were divided according to where they lived, and each Lijia allocated time to patrol and practice in the city.

Rui Qi Rui Ba and the others were assigned to practice under the city wall at noon every day, and they had to patrol the city with the village chief every three days.

Lin Xiaoxiao left some herbs and food for them, as well as a short dagger for each of them.

Because metal is controlled, there are countless metal weapons on Laiqi Mountain.Most of them were obtained by Lin Xiaoxiao when he robbed the slave hunting team.

After telling Rui Qi Rui Ba to be careful, Lin Xiaoxiao entered the west side hall of the palace.

Cui Panpan, mother and son are still the same.The only change is that she has a decision.

She wrote a letter to Han Wu with her handkerchief.

After Lin Xiaoxiao left some things for them, she didn't wander around anymore, but teleported them to Ji Huang's mansion.

This time Lin Xiaoxiao didn't teleport directly to Ji Huang's house, but teleported to the tree in front of his house, and then stepped forward to knock on the door.

Although they have seen Lin Xiaoxiao's "magic skills", Ji Huang and Lin Xiangzi are still surprised by her elusiveness.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't stay too long, exchanged some information with them briefly, and discussed some countermeasures before returning to Mount Laiqi.

After resting overnight in Laiqi Mountain, Lin Xiaoxiao explained to Kong Ci a few words and went to Xiaguan.

The purpose of her coming this time is to deliver Cui Panpan's letter to Han Wu.

This matter has to be done, otherwise the follow-up processing will be very troublesome.

If Rui Jiangzhen threatened Qin Jun with their mother and son as hostages in the future, Tian Mu would not admit it, and Han Wu didn't know the truth.At that time, their mother and child will be useless, but it will be really dangerous.

Lin Xiaoxiao left a code on the bulletin board at the gate of the city.

In the afternoon, Hu Zigui came to find him.

"You want to see Han Wu?"

"If it's really inconvenient, I don't mind if I don't see him. Please give Cui Panpan's letter to him. It's just that there are some things in it that I'm afraid you won't be able to explain clearly when he asks."

"Actually, it's not difficult to see him. The difficult thing is to enter the city. Just wait for me for a day, and I'll come back tomorrow."

"Do you need money? I have it here."

Lin Xiaoxiao gave Hu Zigui ten gold plugs.Hu Zigui did not refuse.

He was barely able to maintain a balance of income and expenditure in Qin State, and he really didn't have any extra money to help Lin Xiaoxiao manage.

Speaking of it, being a doorman is not a fat job.Only those who are highly valued can get more rewards.

Hu Zigui currently mainly relies on monthly money, and has relatively few chances to get rewards.

Shen Wu and others who went to Qin with him also have their own places now.

Uncle Hu brought green slaves to buy land and farm, and Hu Zi lived with them when he returned to Xianyang.Shen Wu became a family, bought land, and opened a shop.Hu Sanlang also became a family, and became a follower like Hu Zigui.

Hu Zigui's current goal is to find an official position in Qin State.In this way, you can get rid of the state of being attached to other noble families and slowly develop your own power.

The next day, Huzi came back to find Lin Xiaoxiao, and took her to meet someone.

This man's name is Doctor Du, and he is a medical officer in the tent of the Qin army.

"I heard you have herbs?"

Lin Xiaoxiao put down the medicine basket on her back and asked Dr. Du to check the herbs in it by herself.

Hu Zigui had told Lin Xiaoxiao beforehand that she would enter the city as a provider of herbs to the medical officer.

Doctor Du was very satisfied after the examination, so he took out a bamboo stick and wrote a warrant.

Doctor Du said the herbs and quantities he needed, and Lin Xiaoxiao wrote them down and repeated them.

"Can we prepare all the herbs tomorrow?" Dr. Du asked.

Lin Xiaoxiao replied: "There are ready-made ones at home, and they can be delivered when you go back to pick them up."

Doctor Du handed the warrant to Lin Xiaoxiao: "There is no need to be so anxious, you can send it directly to the military camp tomorrow. With this warrant, the city gate will let you go."

Doctor Du took out another handful of broken silver: "These are deposits, after you deliver the goods, ask me for the final payment."

Lin Xiaoxiao counted the scraps of silver given by Dr. Du, and found that they were quite a lot, almost [-]% of the payment.Even if Dr. Du didn't pay the final payment, Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't lose money.

Lin Xiaoxiao made an agreement with Doctor Du, and when she came out, she saw Hu Zigui waiting for her.

"I can only enter the city tomorrow."

Hu Zigui nodded: "I will make an agreement with Han Wu in advance and let him meet you."

Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised: "He can move freely in the city?"
