Chapter 391: Building a Bath
The number of troops in Youzhou City has increased, and the guards at the gate are neat and orderly, giving people a strong sense of security.
It took a whole day for the vanguard to investigate the situation in the city clearly, and the statistics, the construction of the barracks, and the busy work were inseparable.
Gao Cheng stood on the city wall and looked at the huge bonfire piled up outside the city, and he could see the situation clearly three miles away.
The scouts didn't stop hearing all day.
"Governor, Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou's people have chased them out for fifty miles, and the scouts have long since known their whereabouts, do you want to continue to follow and find out the situation?"
"How is the situation of the Li family's soldiers and horses?" Li De did not answer, but continued to ask.
"The soldiers and horses of the Li family have engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy's soldiers and horses forty-five miles away, and now the time should be over, and it is expected that they will be able to rush back by tomorrow morning at the latest." Elevation replied.
"Dou Jiande's people are in good spirits, if they want to pursue, follow them."
While the two were talking on the ramparts, cavalry came in the distance.
"Governor, outside the city are Luo Yi's soldiers and horses." Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi, who were in charge of guarding the city gate under the city, asked people to go to the city wall to spread the word.
"Let them in, Elevation you go and arrange them, don't have conflicts." Li De instructed.
Gao Cheng naturally understands that now Youzhou City is occupied by the vanguard, so he naturally can't let it out, he doesn't know what Li De is going to do, but the right to speak in Youzhou City is going to be decided.
At first, Luo Yi was still curious about why the vanguard men returned halfway through the pursuit, but now when he saw the soldiers on the city wall, he understood that there was not much of a situation.
With the progress of the soldiers and horses, the same desolate scene, but after entering the city, there is a feeling that they have become guests.
"General Luo, we all have orders, let the last general entertain the general well, the meal is ready, wait for you to eat, come with me." Elevation's simple words made Luo Yi's people restless.
They have not eaten enough for a long time in Youzhou, and they finally caught up with how they could miss it, they were all like hungry people who had been hungry for a long time, and their eyes were red when they heard that they had food.
Luo Yi wanted to talk about the city defense, but even his stomach gurgled angrily, and he was not embarrassed in front of many soldiers.
"Okay, I'm talking about the change of the city wall after dinner." Luo Yi said.
"Eat first, and it's not too late to talk about things after dinner." Gao Cheng said with a smile, and then led the people out of the city gate and went to the camp that had been prepared a long time ago.
In the whole day, the vanguard divided most of the people to build camp tents, the purpose was to complete the camp tents of Luo Yi and others after meeting their own needs.
In fact, it doesn't take much effort to vacate so many houses, mainly because it takes a long time to clean and tidy, and according to Li De's requirements, baths and urinals are indispensable.
Priority is given to the construction of infrastructure such as water rooms and kitchens.
After Luo Yi arrived at the camp, he felt that everything was regulated, and even the open urine and urine were supervised by patrol people, but he was a little uncomfortable.
When they saw the delicious food in the cauldron, their brains were not enough to think about anything else, they were so hungry that a few cauldrons were full of meat, and there were enough naan.
Eating a bite of naan and drinking a sip of broth, they all felt very unrealistic.
The partial general delivered a bowl of broth to Luo Yi, the meat in the bowl took up a whole bowl, the aroma of the thick soup was something they had never smelled, and no one could resist the temptation of food.
"General, you said that the vanguard soldiers have so much food, I can't figure it out until now, I feel that they are more like nomadic warriors, and it is really strange to carry cattle and sheep with them." The general muttered.
"It's not surprising that their cattle and sheep are robbing the Turks." Luo Yi said.
"Huh? If they rob the Turks, they are not afraid of retaliation, and 5,000 soldiers and horses can not be used in Mobei. The general was stunned.
"The art masters are bold, which is why Youzhou City can be relieved, but I don't understand why they want to occupy the city, maybe they have some other plans." Luo Yi said.
"General, you are too worried, now there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the city, since they want to occupy the city, they will give it to them, nominally we are still on the guard, and when they leave, we don't want us to continue to defend." Partial generals.
Luo Yi thought about it, there were many vanguards, and it was natural to temporarily act as a guardian of the city, and he would wait until he saw that Li De tomorrow and asked him clearly.
The night in Youzhou City is very quiet, but in the quiet night barracks, it is a different place.
There are many people who snore, grind their teeth, talk in their dreams, and play tricks.
The pioneers were very disciplined in boiling water, drinking hot water, and soaking their feet in hot water at night, as long as they were required to keep clean when conditions permitted.
The newly built bath is made of yellow mud and stones, but it is not yet usable, so if you want to make a huge pot, the bottom of the pool is made of stones and used to make a fire.
Someone kept adding firewood to the kang on the ground.
The clear water from the river was poured into the pool, which was so large that hundreds of people were busy for hours without finishing it, and hundreds of people were piling up the wall with stones.
The project is huge, they are doing it, and Luo Yi is watching, I don't know why they are making such a big move on the bath.
The impression of Li De became bad in an instant, and he decided that he was too good at enjoying it, so why bother to stir up the crowd if he wanted to take a bath and go to the river.
Luo Yi didn't know that half a bag of fine salt was added to the pool, if he knew that he would have to drop his jaw, half a bag of salt would be equivalent to throwing money directly into the water.
And the start is completely wasted.
Li De no matter what others think, the bath is a must, the salt water pool is used for the wounded to clean the wounds, there are many minor injuries, he is to avoid the infection of soldiers, and it is his purpose to take some precautions to reduce the mortality rate.
In the middle of the night, the voices in the barracks changed their tone again, and they roared and screamed, and they were terrible.
Hearing the screams, many people were awakened, all of them felt cautious, and they didn't dare to sleep for a long time, and some even rushed out of the camp tent to find out the situation.
Luo Yi had been sitting on the edge of the camp to rest, he wanted to know what the vanguard was doing, and when he heard many people screaming miserably, he felt a little cautious.
Facing the enemy is not as chilling as it is now.
When the vanguard arrived at night, when the salt water pool could be used, they began to line up to pierce it, and it was not okay to disobey, especially if they were wounded, and they poured salt on the wound raw, and the pain was unbearable.
After going through the salt water pool, you can only go to the clear water pool to rinse after soaking for enough time, so the miserable howl in the barracks at night continued until the second half of the night.
When he got up early in the morning, Li De and several lieutenants entered the bath after changing the clear water, lay on the edge of the pool, and covered their faces with the linen soaked in hot water, as if this moment had swept away all their fatigue and troubles.
