The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 98
Although I was tired, but I didn't sleep well, and I was in a daze, it was time.

The sound of the drums for breakfast, and the sound of footsteps in the camp, the female general sent a set of Jianjia last night, and the size seemed to fit.I turned around and put it on, closed my wrist guards, tied my waist guard, and tied my long hair into a masculine crown. When I got out of the tent, Xuanyuan Chen was already waiting at the door.

The female general was also careful, and gave Xuanyuan Chen a set of exquisite plain armor worn by a young general. Although he looked like an ordinary uncle, this armor standing robe gave him the demeanor of a veteran. The female general who provoked her always steals her eyes.

"The princess, the king of marsh, the deputy commander, and several generals are all discussing matters in the big tent. Let's go and see Marshal Su first." The female general made a gesture of invitation.

I nodded and followed her slowly towards the big tent.

This female general has a bold personality. From her introduction, I know her name is Qi Lan. She is the daughter of the right-wing general Qi Feng. She has been with the army since she was a child and has experienced countless battles. He reported the news to her.

The place where I live is far away from the main tent, and it was the time for breakfast. Along the way, I met many soldiers who had received their meals. Looking in the bowl, a bowl of porridge and rice is full of weeds, only a few scattered rice grains, which are almost watery.

I frowned, and heard Qi Lan sigh, saying, "Hey, there is not much food and grass left. The soldiers have been eating this kind of food for four days, and the rear can't get food and grass supplies. In two days, I'm afraid I can’t even eat this.”

The refugees in Jicheng closed the city, even if there was food to be shipped out, if the city gates were opened, they would probably be robbed.The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass go first, and food shortages are a big problem.

The few of us walked forward again, and we passed a wounded soldier area. Before we passed, we heard a series of groans. When we got closer, we saw a large area of ​​simple tents, where many wounded were lying or sitting. soldier guard.

Those with gauze wrapped around their heads, those with injured arms and broken legs, in short, they are all disabled and sick, and there are probably tens of thousands of people.

Their food was better than what they had seen before. There were a little more rice grains in the porridge, but they all looked disheveled because of the pain.

Qi Lan said again, "They are all good sons of our Xiqi! It's a pity that those who are short of food and water can't let them recover as soon as possible. I don't know how much they will suffer." After she finished speaking, she sighed.

But I asked her, "Are there still enough medicines in the army?"

She nodded, "This is okay. There is a genius doctor in our army. There is a mountain range behind, and there are many medicinal herbs in it. There is not enough food and grass in the rear, but fresh herbs can be picked. Our Su Shuai's illness is thanks to this doctor." A miraculous doctor. Alas, princess, look, he is there."

I looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a gray-haired old man surrounded by a circle of wounded soldiers. He looked to be in his 60s, with a goatee under his chin, and wrinkled eyebrows and eyes. It looks a bit fairy-like.

Xu Shi was slightly aware of it, and he looked up from afar.I have a good impression of this kind of person who can help the world with a hanging pot, and has a strong medical style, so I nodded at him, and he also nodded with a smile.

After walking forward for a while, we arrived at Su Huo's big tent.

When the tent guards saw her, they all saluted, she nodded, and a soldier hurriedly pulled the curtain for her, she made a gesture of please, and I strode into the tent.

Bypassing the wind barrier, I saw Suho on the tent.

I had expected for a long time that Su Huo would have a haggard face, but I didn't expect that he would be so haggard.

I haven't seen him for four years. I've grown up, but he's so old that I don't know him anymore.

His once rosy face was thin and wrinkled, his eyes were full of fine horizontal lines, and his smooth forehead was engraved with the vicissitudes of time. Perhaps he had guarded the border for many years, and his face was dark under the wind and sun. His eyes were closed tightly at the time, his chapped lips squirmed with his breath, and his cheeks were yellow with sickness.

I didn't know what it was like, sitting on the couch, I grabbed his hand.

This is a pair of old palms that are as dry as claws, and the skinny fingertips are covered with calluses. I rubbed them lightly, and they were as hard as stones.

They held me in their arms, took me on a horse ride, and held me in their arms as they rode the horse through the streets.

I felt a little blocked, so I quickly turned my head away, and when I got better, I asked Qi Lan, "General Qi, how is my grandfather's condition?"

Qi Lan sighed, "The situation is not very optimistic. The military doctor has used a lot of medicine, but he just doesn't wake up."

I put his hand gently on the couch, covered it with a quilt, and asked, "My grandpa, how did you get hurt?"

Qi Lan said, "At that time, there had been a truce between the two armies for some time. The Generalissimo assembled his troops and prepared to return to Beijing the next day. On that day, he was very happy and said that he hadn't gone back for several years. My granddaughter probably They have grown up, and they said that when they go back this time, they are going to resign and stay at home, coaxing their granddaughter and enjoying family happiness for a few years."

He was very happy that day, and went back to his tent early to rest, but who knew that in the middle of the night, the barbarians from southern border invaded wantonly.The situation was very chaotic at that time, and the old marshal rushed into the battlefield without armor in his impatience.During the fierce battle with the enemy, he was ambushed by the opponent's chief general and surrounded by five people. During the fight, he didn't fall off his horse. The enemy chief stepped on his horse and hit the old marshal's chest. "

I frowned slightly, "What did you say? Was it stepped on by a horse?"

Qi Lan's face showed resentment, and finally nodded angrily.

My eyes narrowed, and anger rose in my heart.

On the battlefield, when the two armies are fighting, there is an unwritten rule. If the enemy falls, you can take his head directly, or you can work together to kill him.

However, you just can't deliberately step on the horse.

To die on the battlefield is an honor, and stepping under a horse is the greatest insult to a warrior, and even the deepest contempt.

The enemy army is so humiliating and contemptuous!

This is not only an insult to Su Huo, but also an insult to the Su family, and even the entire Xiqi!

No wonder, the [-]-mile rush received by His Majesty only said that Su Huo was seriously injured, but did not say where the injury was. It turned out that this was the reason!

Qi Lan said again in a deep voice, "That day, the old marshal vomited a lot of effort. After returning home, he was recuperated by a miracle doctor, but he suffered from coughing and vomiting blood all night. A few days ago, the vanguard officer on the right side Zhen Shang, the old man was so anxious that he vomited blood and fell into a coma, and he hasn't woken up until now."

I calmed down, looked at Su Huo's already silver-white temple hair, carefully tucked up the quilt for him, got up and made a statement.

The sky is clear today, I looked up at the cloudless blue sky, and asked, "General Qi, who is the enemy general?"

Qi Lan said angrily, "It's the second prince of the Southern Border Kingdom, Tuoba Hong."

It turned out to be him, the villain who went back and forth.

After marrying the princess, the flames of war were rekindled, and now Suho was injured in this way.

Tuoba Hong, you are fine, you are fine!
This time when I come to the frontier, if I don't kill you with my own hands, I will not be called Su Qingmu!

After a long rest, I strode towards the big tent.From afar, one could hear a group of people waiting for a fierce quarrel inside.I stood outside the tent and listened for a while, and then I understood the reason.

Just yesterday, before I went down the mountain, the enemy army conducted another small-scale sneak attack.Because the enemy army always attacked at night, and the Xiqi army also took precautions, so this attack did not cause many casualties.These people in the account are currently studying defensive methods.

A Hong voice said first, "We should set up more barriers, so that when the enemy invades, we will have time to respond and think about how to reduce casualties."

Another young female voice said, "General Zhu is right. During this time, we have always suffered from night strikes. The problem lies in our defense."

Another man said in the account, "Just setting up roadblocks is not enough. We should set up barriers and lay ambushes at the same time. Maybe it will also make the enemy suffer."

"Well, that's a way, and a good way."

Everyone praised what he said was reasonable, and after studying it for a while, the first Hong Sheng said, "King Zhuoyuan, deputy commander, we have researched this set of strategies to strengthen defense, what do you think?" ?”

There was a slight silence in the tent, and then another voice said, "At present, this is the best way."

This is the voice of the Seventh Prince Helian Yunze, I can hear it.

"What about the marsh king?" the Hong asked again.

There was another silence in the tent, and then Helian Yunzhao's voice came.

"Think carefully, but it is also a way."

Way, is this also called a good way?
I laughed.

"I think it's not an option to keep defending all the time, it's time to attack!"

I shouted loudly outside the big tent, and then, regardless of obstructions from left and right, I directly entered the big tent through the curtain.

"Shh..."

I entered suddenly, the voice was slightly louder, and everyone in the tent turned their heads to look.I raised my chest and looked up. There were eight people standing in the tent, all of them were wearing armor.

The two people in the middle, one is the Seventh Prince Helian Yunze, and the other is King Zhuoyuan, Helian Yunzhe.

On the right of the two of them are two older generals, one with a cold face and one with a beard.In the future is a young man and a female general, and the ones closest to the door are Ji Yunchang and Rong Ziyang.

I haven't seen each other for more than a month, and the two of them are much darker, but the brows are a little tougher. The battlefield is really a place where people mature quickly.

"Sister of the Su family?" Rong Ziyang exclaimed in disbelief, Ji Yunchang seemed to frowned, the two young generals looked the same, but the bearded veteran raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Where did you come from?" My little girl, how dare you trespass on the big tent!"

I smiled slightly, put my hands together as a salute, and sang loudly, "Su Huo's grandson, Su Qingmu, see the king of Zhuo Yuan, see the marshal, and see the generals."

When the bearded general heard that I was Su Huo's granddaughter, his expression eased a lot, and he even let out a smile, and said, "Hey! It turns out that he is the son of Su Shuai's family, and he also looks like a brave man. But boy, this is a place for discussion, not a place for nonsense, boy, go out first, if there is anything, I will tell your Uncle Zhu later, ha..."

I saw that he was quite rough, but he spoke kindly, so I nodded to him and said, "Be more kind to Uncle Zhu, but since Qingmu has entered into this big tent, naturally he is not playing around, Qingmu, I'm here to discuss matters."

General Zhu smiled, "You're only so old, you dare to say that you're here to discuss matters, that's all, all right, don't mess around."

I smiled slightly, and instead of talking to him, I looked at Helian Yunzhang.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and he has darkened a lot. Although the warmth between his brows is still hidden, his cheeks are a little more stern. Maybe it's because years of killing on the battlefield have hardened people's hearts.

While I was looking at him, he also looked over.

There was scrutiny, strangeness, and some expressions in his eyes that I couldn't understand.

Maybe, that's suspicion, I thought.

He just looked at me like that, just like at the family dinner back then.

I also smiled and looked at him lightly.

The breeze blew into the tent, diffused the smell of iron-colored armor, and blew the cloak on the general's shoulders.

The room was silent.

After a while, Helian Yunzhao raised his eyes and said softly, "Since you are here to discuss matters, let's talk and listen."
