Chapter 3: Returning Home

Li Mu was taken down to treat his injuries and didn't mention it for the time being, but said that in the account, after Su Dingfang read the letter in Li Mu's robe, he was greatly surprised, and said: "Boss, this Turkic man is cunning and treacherous, and now Lord Tang Jian has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it is really difficult to do it!" ”

Li Jing calmed his face for a while, and said, "Go and invite the deputy chief and General Li Ji to come to the account." ”

Su Dingfang turned around to invite, and after a short time, the three of them returned to the Chinese army's big tent. Li Jing showed Li Mu's robe to the two generals, and Li Ji was silent. Li Jing's deputy, Zhang Gongjin, the head of the Dingxiang Road march, spoke: "Your Majesty has issued an edict agreeing to the surrender of the Turks, and now Tang Jian and others are still in the Turkic camp, although this letter has been passed back, but after all, it is only Tang Jian's speculation. If he attacks rashly, Tang Jian's life will not be guaranteed, and it will also ruin the name of His Majesty's benevolence, in my opinion, it is better to send someone to inquire first, and at the same time send the news back to Chang'an for eight hundred miles, please let Your Majesty decide. ”

Li Jing didn't respond, but looked at Li Ji and asked, "What does Mao Gong think?" ”

Li Jidao: "Although Jieli was defeated, there are still many people and horses, but they are scattered everywhere. If, as stated in this letter, surrender is a delaying tactic, then when he gathers the remnants and then marches north to contact the nine surnamed Tiele, we will return in vain. A year or two later, the Turks recovered. If you take advantage of this time to send troops, you can attack them unprepared, once and for all. But in the chaos of the army, whether Tang Jian's life can be saved depends on the will of heaven. The Turks will soon notice that someone has escaped from the camp, and they will be alert, Tang Jian and others are still hanging by a thread, so in my opinion, they must attack, and they must attack quickly! ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "What Mao Gong thinks coincides with me. Zhang Gongjin wanted to dissuade him, Li Jing said: "This is Han Xin's plan to destroy Tian Heng, the soldiers are fast, and the opportunity cannot be lost." Since Tang Jian risked his life to send back this letter, he must have been prepared, and I will bear all the consequences, and there is no need to persuade him again. After that, he ordered: "Su Dingfang, order you to lead two hundred light cavalry as the vanguard to open the way, and the army will come later." ”

Su Dingfang took the order and left, Li Jing looked at Li Ji again, the two of them were both in charge of soldiers and horses, and Li Jing was not good at overstepping his bounds, but fortunately, Li Ji could understand what he meant, got up and said: "I will lead the army to block the danger, and the pharmacist can go with confidence." ”

The plan was decided, and Su Dingfang ordered the men and horses to rush out of the camp. Li Jing's military order had been issued, and Zhang Gongjin could not change it, so he had to obey the order to dispatch people.

The army pulled out of the camp, leaving only Zhang Gongjin's department to stay behind to take care of the sick and disabled in the army, Li Mu was among them, and the arrows on his body were also pulled out with the help of the army doctor, and he was also dressed with gold sore medicine. The method of treating trauma in this era can also be done like this, as for whether it will be infected, it depends on the creation, in case of infection, if you can't survive, you will die, and no one can do anything.

Li Mu can't help it, in the skill tree of pharmaceutical arts, there is no such thing as 'penicillin'. Li Mu couldn't help but sigh that fate was unfair, people crossed either to be a prince, or to bring a warehouse, the golden finger is very effective, to his own place, he is a prisoner, feeding the Turks to feed the horses and cook, and finally escaped, but the golden finger can't even guarantee his own life. And for now, the future may not be easy. With such a krypton system, how many resources and how much money do you need to upgrade, and can you have the day when you reach the full level? Is it going to be all over the world, I have a system in my body, and everyone can quickly take things to help me level up? There are some things that are not destined to be said to others. Li Mu has already decided that there are systematic things hidden in his body, as long as he is in the Tang Dynasty for a day, he will not tell anyone, no matter how close people are.

The more he thought about it, the more discouraged he became, Li Mu slowly lay on the bed, careful not to let his shoulders be stressed, and fell asleep in a daze. It's been almost twenty days, and I'm finally able to get a good night's sleep.

By the time he woke up again, it was already noon the next day. As soon as he finished eating the meal sent by the head soldier, a halberd chief came over, first called his name, and then announced the arrangement of the deputy chief Zhang Gongjin. It turned out that the front-line battle was smooth, the Turkic camp had been broken, the army was like a broken bamboo, the soldiers were divided into several ways to pursue the Turkic remnants, and the cavalry left behind also went to the battle, so the deputy governor Zhang Gongjin ordered the inflexible Modao team to send the wounded soldiers back to Dingxiangcheng to recuperate. As soon as Li Mu heard this, he understood in his heart that it must be that the deputy manager was worried that the front line was fighting too fast, and he wanted to rush to grab some credit.

Since Li Jing's army had already broken through the Turkic camp and captured a large amount of grain and grass, the army did not have to worry about supplies. Therefore, Zhang Gongjin ordered each cavalry to carry only three days' rations and advance lightly, and the remaining grain and grass also returned to the Tang army camp in Dingxiang City with the Modao team and the remnants. Li Mu was meritorious in reporting the news, and specially arranged a grain truck for him to lie on it, so as not to walk hard.

Arriving in Dingxiang two days later, Li Mu's shoulder injury was mostly healed, the wound had scabbed, fortunately there was no infection, and it would heal in a few more days. My life has been saved, and it's time to think about some problems in my future life.

With such a system in his body, Li Mu is not very worried about life. In the past two days, lying on the grain and grass cart, idle and bored, he has re-brushed the system.

This is a secondary job system, the so-called 'secondary class', which corresponds to the main job of the game. The game he participated in the design is called The Legend of the Tang Dynasty, and his main job is the major martial arts schools, such as Shaolin Emei. Vice-occupation is a general term for non-martial arts occupations, such as pharmaceutical, blacksmithing, tailoring, craftsman, cook, and more than a dozen categories. There are three levels, beginner, intermediate, advanced, and then master, according to the in-game rules, there is only one master per class per server. Li Mu did a calculation when he was doing data balancing, and with the level of pit he designed, even if the resources of the whole server were supplied to one person, and money was not a problem, it would take at least three years to appear a master. So he doesn't have extravagant hopes for the master level, if he can practice a senior deputy position, he will not be able to run rampant in the Tang Dynasty, at least he can live a chic and free life.

It's a bit redundant to think about this at the moment, and now he is not qualified to choose a career, but to see what profession can make a living. Survive before you can think about anything else.

When I arrived at the camp in Dingxiang City, the first thing I did when I settled down was to register and make a book. In every war, there were wounded soldiers and prisoners, or those who died in the war and fled, so after the war, a new register should be made to record the merits. The Tang Army has clear rewards and punishments, the families of the war dead can be compensated, and the wounded soldiers can also be compensated, but if they are found to be deserters, even if they flee back to their hometowns, they will be arrested and punished.

Li Muben was not in the military, but he had a meritorious service in sending letters, so his name is also on this roster. The clerk in charge of the record asked him if he wanted to enlist in the army, and if he wanted to, he could be re-enrolled. Li Mu hurriedly refused on the grounds that he had a mother at home who needed to be supported, what a joke, he had just escaped from Ascension to Heaven with nine deaths, turned around and jumped into the pit, which is something that only a fool would do.

Speaking of his mother at home, Li Mu suddenly realized that since he entered Dingxiang City, he had been faintly feeling what the source of depression was. Although the original Li Mu had died, he occupied his body and became the new Li Mu. But the body is the carrier that carries the soul, and this body helps the original Li Mu retain his memory and the emotions brought by this memory. Dingxiang City is not far from Li Mu's hometown of Mayi County, and the depression he has been suppressing for days is that this body is reminding him that there is a mother waiting for him at home.

In fact, as far as Li Mu is concerned, he has no intention of supporting Li Mu's mother. He came from time in time, and lived with Li Mu's mother, and he didn't feel that he had this obligation. Moreover, the secret on his body cannot be told to outsiders, in this era, the relationship between mother and son is the closest, eating and living together, in case the secret is discovered, he doesn't know how to explain it. But when he arrived in Dingxiang City, he found that the emotions left over from this body were so strong that he couldn't do it even if he didn't want to, forcing him to bear it.

Li Mu can understand when he thinks about it, since he has taken over this body, he has to accept the obligations carried by this body, and it is a matter of course that he should do, and his evasion is not right.

After figuring out this section, Li Mu told the record that he wanted to return to his hometown to take care of his mother. The record can also understand that the Tang people advocate filial piety, and Li Mu's repeated actions all started from filial piety, so that the record who already knows the ins and outs is very respectful. The record told Li Mu that he could return to his hometown, and if the court had a reward, he would send someone to bring it to him. The recorder also prepared a coil for him, remembering that his shoulder injury had not healed, and ordered someone to find a grain truck between Mayi County and Dingxiang City, and gave him a ride.

Speaking of Mayi County, although it is only a small border town, it has a pivotal position in the wars against nomads in the Central Plains. During the Han Dynasty, it was the front line of the Han army against the Xiongnu, and there was the famous siege of Mayi. In the Tang Dynasty, it became the front line of the Tang army's resistance against the Turks, and it was from here that Li Jing led his army to break through Dingxiang City, opening the prelude to the battle to destroy the Eastern Turks.

As a border military town, Mayi County is not as rich as the Central Plains City, but because the Tang Army is stationed here all the year round, the flow of people is frequent, and many merchants trade here, forming a kind of prosperity that belongs to Mayi. The streets and alleys are full of people coming and going, and they are very lively. Here you can see the Tang people, you can also see the nine surnamed Tiele, and even the Turkic people. Here they are all Tang people, and there will be no discrimination.

Following the memory of Li Mu, he found his way home. Li Mu's home is behind a wine shop, a row of houses with ridges, a total of six rooms, his house is in the middle, and there is a family on the left and right.

Li Mu looked left and right as he walked, and the memory in his mind became clearer and clearer. He can recognize the shops on this street, can recall the door of which store he fought with other people's children when he was a child, can remember the scene when he recruited the village warriors that day, and can also remember the reluctant gaze of his mother when he left with the grain convoy. Memories came to his heart one after another, and Li Mu finally arrived at the door of the house, suddenly his nose was sore, and his eyes were red.
