Chang'an is good

Chapter 237 Like a Bead, Like a Tree

Most of the yards in the Governor's Mansion were cleared up to temporarily accommodate the wounded soldiers brought back this time. Almost all the military doctors and doctors in the city gathered here.

Chang Suining also ran back and forth to help. He was so busy for half a day, until it was getting dark, and Chang Kuo, who had arranged various affairs, came to find him.

"Okay, take a break and wash your face."

Chang Kuo ordered a basin of warm water to be poured, and Chang Suining washed off the dried blood on his hands and face, as well as the powder used to conceal his complexion.

The girl wiped off the water droplets on her face neatly, while Chang Kuo stood aside and watched, with thousands of thoughts in her mind.

This journey, coupled with what he saw when the two armies faced each other, gave him an intuitive feeling that this girl could handle all these things at her fingertips.

He has seen martial arts prodigies, and he has also seen soldiers who are like gods, but he has never seen someone face the bloody and fighting on the battlefield for the first time, and he can keep his face unchanged, and even have no emotion when killing the enemy fluctuation.

He saw too many recruits who collapsed and grimaced when they killed the enemy for the first time. Under the bloody impact, they even trembled and vomited uncontrollably.

Of course, there are also those who yearn for killing by nature, and they will show excitement different from ordinary people in the face of blood and mutilated bodies, but his daughter is obviously not this type of person.

So, how to explain all this?
Although Chang Kuo's temperament seems to be as aggressive as that bearded face, he has never been a careless person.

It's just that there are some possibilities, which are beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition. For a long time, they have stood like an insurmountable mountain, cutting off all imagination.

And the change of the girl in front of her was not so much a change, but more like she had no intention of continuing to cover up, revealing her original appearance.

Like a bead, it brushes away the distant and old dust, revealing a gleam of brilliance.

Like a tree, it suddenly stretched its branches and leaves in this winter, growing rapidly along a familiar trajectory, strange and eye-catching.

So at this time, he had to use this big tree that seemed to grow overnight to look up at that mountain and try to touch the truth hidden behind the opening of that mountain.

Chang Kuo's heart was turbulent, many emotions were mixed, but the surface became more and more indifferent.

"Thank you." Chang Suining took the water bottle from a lieutenant general and drank it.

The deputy general looked at her curiously, and said: "You are a soldier under General Chang's command? How come I have never seen it before? You kid, you look like a chicken, you are very clever in killing the enemy! "

He was also surprised: "After washing off the ashes on this face, he is still a fair and beautiful boy."

A few small soldiers also surrounded them, fair and beautiful is of course second, everyone admires the strong by nature, especially in the army.

Hearing them surrounding him boasting about his excellent marksmanship and spear skills, Chang Suining screwed on the kettle and said immodestly, "Want to learn? I can teach you all."

The way the "boy" speaks is just as arrogant as when he killed the enemy. In the eyes of everyone, he is full of youthful air.

The lieutenant general laughed, and some of the soldiers nodded seriously.

After chatting for a few more words, Chang Suining walked towards Chang Kuo with a kettle in his hand.

She looked good, stood upright, and saluted him with her fists together: "General."

Chang Kuo looked at her, with thousands of thoughts in his mind, he hid them all at this moment, and didn't ask much.

"Thank you." He raised his hand and patted the head of the girl in front of him, with mixed emotions in his eyes: "Our Suining has worked hard."

Yun Hui, who was walking towards here, saw this scene, and felt a little thoughtful in his heart.

General Chang seemed to be very kind to the little cavalryman. Does General Chang love soldiers like children?

General Chang's demeanor really looks like he treats his own child... When his father was still there, he also looked at him with this demeanor.

The young man felt a dull pain in his heart, he didn't dare to immerse himself in it, took a breath of the cool winter air, and walked towards Chang Kuo.

"Yun Hui thanked General Chang Da for his rescue today!"

The boy was about to kneel down, but Chang Kuo stopped him in time.

"It's the other way around." Chang Kuo said, "It's Chang who wants to thank Mr. Yun Erlang for defending Hezhou City before Chang arrived."

Hearing these words, Yun Hui's eyes suddenly became moist.

"How is Brother Ling?" Chang Suining asked.

At that time on the battlefield, the two brothers had sackcloths on their heads, which made it easy to identify them, so she knew from the very beginning that the child who was shot by the arrow was Yungui.

"I haven't woken up yet, and my life is still in danger. The doctor said... I'm afraid this test will be difficult." Yun Hui looked at her, and said, "But the doctor said that Ah Gui's wounds are at a critical point, so he can go back to the city with a sigh of relief." Fortunately, thanks to the little brother's medicine."

"You don't need to say thank you." Chang Sui Ning said: "Your house is full of loyal and heroic souls, and your blessings are profound, so my brother will be able to escape safely."

Yun Hui nodded to her: "Thank you."

Then Gu Shang asked: "I don't know the name of the little brother yet."

He wanted to thank the other party not only for the life-saving medicine, but also for the arrow that saved him in the first place.

That arrow was the beginning of turning the tide of today's battle and turning defeat into victory.

Chang Suining was about to answer, but Chang Kuo who was beside him smiled and answered for her: "Chang Suining."

His daughter is so powerful, of course people should know who she is.

Chang Suining looked at Chang Kuo in surprise, then smiled and nodded: "Yes, my name is Chang Suining."

Yun Hui was a little surprised: "The little brother is also surnamed Chang?"

"Of course." The "boy" turned his head to look at Chang Kuo again, as if proud: "This is my father."

Yun Hui was extremely surprised, it turned out that he not only loved soldiers like sons, but father and son...he just said it!
He looked at Chang Suining: "...So it turned out to be Little General Chang, and he really is a tiger father with no dogs!"

Seeing that he was solemn and awe-inspiring, Chang Suining reflected for a while, it seems that her reputation of Chang Suining is still not loud enough to spread to Hezhou.

Realizing this, Chang Kuo also laughed: "It seems that we Suining still need to continue to work hard!"

Yun Hui hurriedly said: "Little General Chang is already very good!"

The young man doesn't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, and he talks about the earth when others talk about it.

Chang Suining only seriously corrected another point: "You don't need to call me that, I'm not a general yet."

Yun Hui looked at the "boy" who was modest but not at all modest, so, if it is not now, will it be in the future?

Then, the other party asked: "How is Mrs. Governor? Are you awake?"

"My mother has just woken up, there is no serious problem for the time being, but she passed out after being tense and weak for several days, and worried about Ah Gui, but she is still unable to get out of bed and walk around, so let me come first to thank General Chang."

Chang Suining felt relieved, the mother and son of the Yun family were very respectable, and the safe life of the respectable person was the greatest comfort to others and to the people of Hezhou.

Chang Kuo looked at Yun Hui's hands wrapped around the wound cloth: "Then how is Yun Erlang's injury, is it serious?"

"The kid is fine, it's just a skin injury."

"That's good." Chang Kuo nodded, "Since that's the case, let's talk about the business."

Yun Hui answered "Yes", leading the way, and together with Chang Kuo went to the study room in the mansion that could be used for discussion.

Several of Chang Kuo's trustworthy subordinates and Peng Canjun from the governor's residence were also called over.

……

The door of the study room was tightly closed, and as the conversation deepened, Yun Hui looked shocked: "...So, General Chang only brought more than ten thousand people?"

He subconsciously looked at Chang Suining who was standing beside Chang Kuo.

Therefore, when the opponent was facing each other, their arrogant words and deeds were bluffs, and they were intended to convince the enemy that they really had a hundred thousand troops to back them up?
Having figured this out, and recalling the situation at that time, Yun Hui only felt a little scared for a while.

No wonder General Chang didn't continue to let people catch up!

Peng Canjun was also in a cold sweat, and quickly asked, "When will the remaining reinforcements arrive?"

"The rest will not come." Chang Kuo said calmly.

Peng Canjun and Yunhui couldn't calm down.

"What does General Chang mean by this!"

"I ordered the troops that day, and I took the cavalry and some of the former army out of the camp first, but after I left, Li Yi changed his strategy." Chang Kuo said: "I once sent people back to the Shouzhou camp to investigate, Only now has the 'argument', Li Yi stated to his subordinates that he thinks it is more appropriate to let the main force of the army take the opportunity to attack Yangzhou, and wait for the army to take back Yangzhou, and then rush to Hezhou, and then attack with me inside and outside, and wipe out Xu's rebels in one fell swoop military."

Peng Canjun and Yun Hui were both shocked and dazed.

Is this going to work?
Dasheng's writing is extensive and profound, why is it that people can't understand half a word at this moment?
This statement, at first glance, seems to be a bit tricky, with both the east and the west, and the inside and outside attack... But if you look at it carefully, you can know that the most subtle part of this method is not in it, but in its whimsy.

There was an eerie silence all around.

Peng Canjun frowned tightly. If he heard about Li Yi before, at most he doubted the other party's ability to lead the army, but at this moment, he couldn't help but start to doubt Li Yi's mental state.

Yangzhou is the place where Xu Zhengye raised his troops. How can he take it back if he says it?
Well, forget it!
Even if he can take it back, how many days can Hezhou resist?Once Hezhou is broken, the entire Huainan Road will fall into the hands of Xu Zhengye. By then, Xu Zhengye will be out of Huainan Road, and grass will grow on their graves. Who can attack him inside and outside!How to pinch, who to hit!
Seeing that Peng Canjun and Yunhui were hesitant to speak, Chang Kuo promptly explained their doubts: "Don't worry, he's not crazy, he just wants me to die with you all in Hezhou."

Yun Hui was startled.

A lieutenant beside Chang Kuo said "bah": "Why send troops to attack Yangzhou? If he has the guts, I would cut off his head and dump it in a dung pit! In my opinion, the attack is fake, but the attempt to hook up with Xu Zhengye is real!"

Chang Suining: "..." The words are crude but not unreasonable.

This is indeed a big hidden worry, so it is necessary to solve Hezhou's troubles as soon as possible and get rid of Li Yi in time.

Peng Canjun's complexion turned gray. He thought that Chang Kuo would lead an army of [-] to drive Xu Zhengye away, but now...

Yun Hui also fell into tension again: "Xu Zhengye should be able to find out the truth soon, and then attack Hezhou again..."

"Soldiers are coming to stop you." Chang Suining, who hadn't interrupted all this time, said at this moment: "They have a hundred thousand troops, and we have [-] when we put together—"

Yun Hui looked at her: "Twenty thousand versus one hundred thousand, the disparity is still too great..."

"The [-] I said was the [-] elite." Chang Suining said, "Apart from the [-] elite, don't we have many soldiers like them?"

Yunhui didn't understand for a while.

"There are 15 people in Hezhou City. Excluding the old and the weak, women and children, there should be [-] men available." Chang Sui Ning said: "If you go to another [-], there are still [-]. Xu Zhengye's teachers are mostly all the way. They came here by force, and now Hezhou is protecting themselves, why can't young and strong men, and how do you know that they don't want to put on armor and fight against the enemy together?"

Yun Hui's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked in the direction outside the study.

At this moment, outside the Governor's Mansion, there are still many people who do not want to leave.

……

After the discussion, Hezhou City issued a temporary conscription order overnight.

But in one night and one day, more than ten thousand soldiers were obtained.

This number and speed are rare, and even Chang Kuo's lieutenant general sighed: "Hezhou is a land spirit, so many loyal people."

After winning the army, they have to train. Time is running out, and they need to be taught the most basic ways to defend against the enemy and protect themselves. Chang Suining drew up a military training regulation that is applicable to the current situation. Cloud back.

Other people in the city are also busy with their own affairs. Those who can read and write enter the governor's office temporarily to take temporary positions, or draft documents, or travel around to convey orders. The old, weak, women and children are busy weaving armor. They also donated farm implements, copper and iron to cast weapons.

There are hustle and bustle, there are quarrels, what is available is limited, ordinary old women are destined to not be able to sew indestructible armor, but stitches and threads can gather people's hearts, all these are enough to make the public opinion of this city indestructible.

The molten iron in the casting furnace boiled day and night, enough to wake up the blood of more people.

There was no compulsory call in the conscription order, but the number continued to grow.

On the third night, Hezhou City was still brightly lit.

Chang Suining was temporarily hired as a supervisor by Chang Kuo, and he was busy supervising the city defense all day long.

Do things in rotation everywhere, and will not stop at night.

Chang Suining sits on the highest part of the tower to take a rest temporarily, her ears are noisy all day long, everything is busy, sometimes she needs to stay away from the noisy crowd, calm down and think about mistakes.

The night wind was cold, she sat quietly for a long time, looked up at the night, and could faintly hear the craftsmen knocking on the tower.

She let go of her thoughts for a moment, and when she looked to the north, she suddenly thought that she was repairing the city defenses in Hezhou, and Cui Jing was building border defenses in the north, and they were doing the same thing by coincidence.

I don't know if Cui Jing is as diligent as her, rushing to work overnight?

After thinking about it for a while, I feel that Cui Jing is no better than her. The season in the north has already turned into ice, and the night is terribly cold, so he probably can't catch up with work. The ice skater, who is half the height of a person, agrees or not.

Well, then he should have been lying down and sleeping by now.

Chang Suining was tired from sitting, so he simply lay back, put his arms behind his head, and continued to think about things in the city.

Suddenly, she sneezed loudly.

……

Two thousand miles away in the northern border, Cui Jing did not catch up with work overnight, but he did not fall asleep either.

He was dealing with official duties, and occasionally looked to the south through the cracks in the frost-covered window lattice.

This is the origin of Chang Suining's sneeze.

……

When Chang Suining returned to the governor's mansion, he had already entered Zishi.

When she returned to the residence that Yunhui had temporarily arranged for her and Chang Kuo, she saw someone standing outside the courtyard waiting for her.

Didi, good night!
