Chapter 21: The Man Wins the Horse's Hoof (Part II)

The question that Murong Fu couldn't answer, the seed master Dao had an answer three days before the army.

After meeting Murong Fu, Seed Master Dao spent several days in the wounded barracks watching how Murong Fu improved the wounded barracks. A few days have passed, and the biggest impression on the Seed Master Dao is that compared to the past, the wounded barracks are now a little more angry. Although there were still wailing/groaning, the spirits of the wounded were much better, and they no longer sighed silently when they rested, but discussed with great interest every day whether the Great Sun had subdued the pig demon. After Murong Fu took out the sheep intestines and dried them to make sheep intestines for suturing the wounds, the recovery speed of the wounded made great progress. It has only been a few days, and the wounded who were originally "doomed" to die have gradually begun to improve. As a member of a family in the army, he naturally understood how much the reduction in casualties had an incentive effect on the soldiers. He was overjoyed, so he ran to see the seed to ask for merit for Murong Fu.

Before he knew that he had just saluted, he ordered the seed master to transfer 5,000 soldiers to be stationed in Mizhi, and the rest of the soldiers went to Yinzhou to participate in the battle three days later. And most of these 5,000 soldiers were soldiers who had just recovered from their injuries in the Battle of Mizhi, and even the nearly 1,000 soldiers in the wounded barracks were included in these 5,000 soldiers. On the contrary, the doctors who were in charge of treating the wounded in the army had to be taken away. When the seed master first joined the army, he still regarded the seed as an elder in the family rather than a senior in the army, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle, these soldiers have not healed from their injuries, but I am afraid that their combat strength is insufficient!" ”

But he was indifferent, and only said coldly: "It's okay! "Seeing that my nephew was puzzled, I nodded at him." If Yinzhou can be captured, Mizhi will naturally be safe, and you don't have to worry. ”

“…… However, those wounded in the wounded barracks, they can't do without the doctor all day......" the seed master still muttered. He knew about Chong's plan, and the Fifth Route Army finally agreed to make peace with Yu Hengshan, and Yinzhou was by no means the last battle. The army went to Yinzhou, and the wounded soldiers in Mizhi Village were still safe, but what if they went further? The cultivator immediately understood, and shouted, "Uncle, you are going to let these wounded soldiers fend for themselves!" ”

Hearing this, he immediately glared at the seed master, forced back all his later words, and said coldly: "Military orders are like mountains, obey orders!" ”

Seed Master Dao couldn't help but plead: "Uncle, after Murong Fu took over the wounded barracks, the condition of the wounded has improved greatly, as long as it takes time, ......"

"Enough!" He let out a loud shout, his face full of impatience. "The soldiers are fast, and the generals don't have so much time to wait for them! If you have mercy, stay there! ”

The seed master Dao was shocked, and his face was immediately red. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been practicing hard every day for more than ten years, regardless of cold and summer, in order to get ahead in the army? This is the first time he has participated in the war since he joined the company, how can he become an outcast before he has achieved his achievements?

The seed master Dao Zheng didn't know what to do, but the seed master had already sighed gloomily, and said softly: "Uncle Yi, your mind uncle understands, but you can't see through the overall situation!" ”

The planter listened to the plantation call him to express his words, and his tone was gentle as if he had returned to the planter's family, and the uncle and nephew gossiped homely, and hurriedly bowed. "Ask my uncle for advice."

"The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. This time the summer attack was huge, and my uncle alone had an army of 100,000. These 100,000 soldiers eat horses and chew horses, and every day the battle situation is stalemate, the more grain and grass are consumed. The ministers in this political hall were originally opposed to the use of troops against the Western Xia, if they spent countless resources and no results, how would they explain to the officials in the future? ”

This civil and military struggle is an eternal topic in the court. He thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, now that my soldiers are strong and strong, why be impatient?" If it hurts morale, it's not beautiful! ”

"You only know one thing and you don't know the other," the seed sighed in a low voice, and followed the temptation. "The more our army penetrates into the enemy's territory, the more difficult it will be for logistics and supply, and the more difficult it will be, and the more difficult it will be, and the soldiers will be afraid of the battle, and even mutiniate and retreat. Only by clenching the soldiers into an iron fist and marching all the way forward is like a group of ants rolling over the fire, there is no possibility of survival! If these words were not for the fact that the master was a kind of nephew, he would never have come out. What the Jiangmen family teaches is not only personal martial arts, but more importantly, the way of using soldiers. And the so-called mercy does not control the army, and this mercy does not only refer to mercy to the enemy.

The seed master stood in the hall and trembled for a while, he knew that what the seed master said was all good words, and he taught him unreservedly for the sake of being his own nephew. But if those soldiers violated the military law, the planter would definitely be able to behead them without changing his face. But now he is asking him to throw these injured soldiers to death for the sake of the overall situation, and the Cultivation Master Dao still can't accept it.

He has been with the master for a long time, how could he not understand the benevolence in this nephew's bones, and then continued: "There is also the most important one, Uncle Yi, what do you say is the purpose of the teacher of the Great Song Dynasty to ask the guilty teacher this time?" ”

"The five roads will be divided into Hengshan, and they will be captured and will enter Beijing to ask for the crime!" Without thinking, the planter replied that he had been in the army for quite some time, and the standard answer to this question was already well understood.

Hearing this, his expression was very strange, as if he was joking and cold, and said softly: "Usually Xiao'er has lost the power of the country after being imprisoned by the Empress Dowager Liang, and it makes little difference between killing or not killing. And the bitter cold of Western Xia, even if we wait for the teacher, we can't hold the land laid here. The meeting with Hengshan is to declare the prestige of our army, what about after Xuanwei? Without waiting for the seed master to answer, he had already said to himself. The so-called capture is just to strengthen the momentum of our army, and the most important thing in this summer attack is to exterminate the party members as much as possible! The hearts of those who are not of our race will be different, and only by exterminating the party members can we completely restore the old land and the world to peace. For this purpose, what should be done to make the sacrifice of the soldiers the most worthwhile, Uncle Yi, do you understand? ”

Naturally, the light cavalry and fast horse soldiers are very fast, looking for the main force of the Xia people, and defeating them one by one! In just a moment, the answer was already in the heart of the cultivator. He had nothing to say, so he only hugged his fist and said, "My subordinates take orders!" With that, he fled and rushed out of the camp of the planter.

When he got out, he ran into Qiao Feng and guarded outside. Under the cold moon, the shadows formed by the continuous shaking of the branches in the cold wind flashed on his cold and handsome face, and people could not understand his thoughts. The planter said to clean up his mood and arched his hand: "Brother Qiao! ”

Qiao Feng suddenly came back to his senses and nodded slightly. "Brother Seed, after a slight call, don't accompany you!" With that, he lifted the curtain and strode in.

In the tent, the seed was really waiting for Qiao Feng. Seeing Qiao Feng saluting him, he said, "You have been waiting for the past few days, and the captain has already reported to the general. The lieutenant praised you, and now that the war is imminent, I will give you the background of a lieutenant to accompany Rong. After the battle, the official will report to the imperial court. "Deputy Lieutenant Rong is the official body of Song Shi from the ninth grade, although it is the lowest grade, but at least Qiao Feng has this position, he can be regarded as officially stepping into the officialdom, and he is no longer a commoner rolling in the rivers and lakes. This move is not insignificant for him.

Qiao Feng was born recklessly, but he also understood this truth. Although he didn't care about an official body, he couldn't help but be grateful for the appreciation and support he received, and he landed on one knee and thanked him solemnly: "Xie Jingluo promoted!" ”

He nodded and casually ordered, "Go down!" Speaking at this time, it was a little kinder than the first time I saw it that day. According to the rules of officialdom, this Qiao Feng has been promoted, which means that the arms of the natural breeder are inseparable from the breeder. The seed family has served in the army for generations, and the seed Shiheng has a total of eight sons, but only the one who really stands out is the seed man. When it comes to the sons and nephews of the seed, it seems that only the two of the seed master and the seed master can be called talents. Since the seed master regards the seed master as his own thousand miles of horse, he will naturally pay more attention to his opinion. And since he joined the army, he has only praised two people in front of him, and Qiao Feng is one of them.

However, Qiao Feng did not leave as ordered. I saw his expression change, and suddenly turned his heart sideways, and said in a low voice: "After a while, Li Xuanzheng has already stationed troops in Lanzhou, and he refuses to take a step forward." If our army continues to fight, it will be a lone army in a dangerous situation! ”

Who expected that he was not surprised when he heard this, but he smiled and said: "The general thought that Deputy Lieutenant Qiao would have to wait for Yinzhou to make a battle before he dared to tell the truth to the general." Deputy Lieutenant Qiao, Ben is not Li Xian, and he does not have his selfish scheming. Deputy Lieutenant Qiao is in the rivers and lakes, and he can take the initiative to serve the army and serve the country, how can Ben doubt your loyalty? The lieutenant praised you for your courage and courage in front of the general, but how can the general seem to be a little too cautious? ”

The beating of the seed is already very powerful, and Qiao Feng is a fledgling compared to the seed after all, and he does not have the spirit of "North Qiao Feng" in the future, and he was speechless for a while. But after all, he was benevolent and righteous, and endured it for a long time and finally said: "Please think twice!" ”

Chong Mo shook his head indifferently, and only said: "Li Xian is cowardly, and he can only fight stupid battles." According to his way of building forts and advancing layer by layer, it will only exhaust the vitality of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Omitted! Ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, although Huo Hussar drove away the Huns, but also consumed the vitality of the Han! Qiao Feng couldn't help but exclaim.

As soon as his eyebrows were raised, he looked at Qiao Feng a little differently, not just treating him as brave cannon fodder. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with an unpredictable expression: "What is Deputy Lieutenant Qiao's opinion?" ”

Qiao Feng opened his mouth and stammered. In the midst of the chaos, he suddenly thought that it was cowardice to think that the civil officials were only willing to buy peace with their years, but at least the soldiers did not have to die, and the people did not have to cry bitterly, so how could it not be benevolence and righteousness?

He snorted coldly, and only said to himself: Even if you know each other, there has never been the weak words of the civil officials. Otherwise, the general will have no choice but to behead you and boost the morale of the army. "Ben Jiang has made up his mind, you don't have to say more, go down!"

Qiao Feng's face was gloomy, knowing that he was a soft-spoken person, and he couldn't persuade him anymore. He ended up with only a barely audible sigh. "After all, people are not ants!"

After Qiao Feng left, Chong Mo only raised his eyebrows behind his back and didn't say a word for a long time.

Three days later, he raised an army of 100,000 to attack Yinzhou. Murong Fu, as the chief of the rear army's medical wounded, was also on the march. It's just that although Murong Fu was also appreciated by the seed master, the iron-blooded seed brother did not appreciate the benevolence of his nephew. Therefore, Chong Mo only sent a soldier to Murong Fu to give an order, and said that if Murong Fu did not want to follow the army, it would not matter.

At this time, there were still hundreds of wounded in this rice fat village, and they were seriously injured and could not move. After receiving the summons of the plant, Murong Fu was also hesitant. However, Deng Baichuan and Gongye Qian still remembered their original intention of coming, and tried their best to persuade Murong Fu to obey the order. It was the wounded soldiers in the camp who thanked Murong Fu for his life, and they also persuaded Murong Fu to leave Mizhi with the army and treat more soldiers in the Battle of Yinzhou.

As expected, Murong Fu had nothing to say. He summoned all the auxiliaries who stayed in Mizhi to take care of the wounded, and then asked for orders, packed up and rushed to Yinzhou with the army.
