CHAPTER XVII

Luo Rucai hesitated.

War horses are the most important resource for the Liukou. Luo Rucai was ready to add the war horse to the cavalry to strengthen the combat effectiveness of his main force, instead of putting it in the old camp.

"Daddy, don't you say that my old Luo family is the most moral? Everyone fights with you, and if you get hurt, you don't care, this is a little bit unrighteous. Luo Yujiao knows her father best and knows where to scratch Luo Rucai's itch.

"Who said that I, Luo Rucai, don't talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes?" Luo Rucai seemed to be a cat with his tail stepped on, and said, "But," Luo Rucai's voice paused slightly, "These war horses can't be given to the wounded barracks." ”

"Daddy." Luo Yujiao said coquettishly.

"Listen to me." Luo Rucai said: "I've seen the war horses of Mengzhen. All are good horses of the first class. These war horses are placed in the old camp, some of them are too wasteful, I am going to put these war horses in the cavalry, and among the cavalry, those old horses, mules, replace dozens of them, and put them in the old camp. Do it. ”

Luo Yujiao said: "Daddy is wise. She turned her head, looked at Rodain and said, "Uncle heard it, if you hear it, do it." The manager of this medical camp asked Zhang Xuan to come. Remember? ”

"Okay, okay." Luo Dain looked at Luo Rucai, saw that he had no intention of objecting, and said.

Luo Rucai secretly said in his heart: "Yujiao has also grown up." It's time to marry her. ”

As for whether the object of marriage is Zhang Xuan, this Luo Rucai, who is a father, has to investigate and investigate again, and arrange an errand for him first, if he can't even do a little thing, he wants to marry his daughter with a face, which is a dream.

A cold light flashed in Luo Rucai's eyes.

"What?" Just before leaving, Zhang Xuan received his appointment. Steward of the medical battalion. "It's time to go, how do I go about it?"

"Don't worry, I've got you ready, thirty-eight old horses knocked out from the cavalry. There were also nineteen wounded, ten healthy women, and nineteen soft beds hanging from horses. Rodain said.

"However, there is no Langzhong." Zhang Xuan was a little anxious and said: "Without Langzhong, what use can it be." ”

Zhang Xuan's little medical knowledge can save a few people, at least one Lang Zhong who is familiar with Chinese herbal medicine.

"In the camp of the eight kings, Wang Langzhong is familiar with you, so I will go and borrow it for you. How is it? Rodain said.

Zhang Xuan didn't know what to say for a while.

Luo Dain has no other skills, but everything that Luo Rucai explains can be done properly. This is the reason why Luo Rucai has always given the old camp to Luo Dain to manage.

"Mr. Zhang." Luo Dain suddenly whispered: "If Mr. Zhang doesn't take up the post in the old camp, the little rice grain sent down from above will be enough to hang his life, and only with the post can he be full." ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan heard this, his stomach rumbled.

Among the rogues, food has always been the top priority, and the distribution has always been cavalry first, then foot soldiers, first able to fight, then unable to fight, first young and strong, then old and weak. Zhang Xuan is in the back camp, in the division, he is naturally a soldier who cannot fight, and in terms of food distribution, Zhang Xuan naturally suffers.

However, if there is a position in the old camp, it is different, at least you have people under you, and the rations under your command are from your hands, so Zhang Xuan will naturally get some oil and water from the middle.

If nothing else, it's still okay to eat a full meal.

Zhang Xuan couldn't refuse anymore, and he couldn't refuse, there were no idlers in the camp. If Zhang Xuan doesn't do this, he has to do something else. Zhang Xuan didn't have room for bargaining, and said: "Since this is the case, Zhang will take the order." ”

Zhang Xuan straightened out the wounded under his command, about 30 people. It is said that thirty-eight old horses, plus Zhang Xuan's own horse and donkey, as well as Cao Da's horse, the group can ride on the horse. However, it took a little time for the group to prepare, and they fell at the back of the line. With Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's cavalry in the front, and behind them were the old battalions, all of which were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were some carriages and baggage.

Zhang Xuan and his entourage were all behind the carriage.

Limited by the speed of the carriage, even if there are horses, they can't go fast.

This is the order of marching in the safe zone in peacetime, and in wartime, it is a different order.

Such a speed is just right for Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan rode on the horse, holding the reins with both hands, pressing the handrails on the saddle, not daring to move. Fearing that he was not careful, he gave the horse the wrong hint and made him run out violently.

"Hehe," Cao Da was lying on the hammock beside Zhang Xuan. "Childe, you haven't ridden a horse, have you?"

"Nope." Zhang Xuan said: "When you are at home, do you have time to ride a horse?" ”

He meant that in the future, unless he went to a special equestrian club, he would not have the opportunity to ride a horse at all. But Cao Da was mistaken and said: "Also, with the intelligence of the son, he must be a scholar at home." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly, and didn't know what to say, so he was silent.

Cao, who was riding on the opposite horse, kicked Cao Da lightly, immediately diverted the topic, and said, "I haven't thanked Gongzi for saving my family's old Cao." ”

"What a life-saving grace, I just came up with an idea, not a life-saving grace." Zhang Xuan said.

"Yes, this idea can only be thought up by Childe, but no one else can come up with it." Cao Da said. "I don't know how Childe came up with this idea."

Zhang Xuan said secretly: "Can I say that I am just replacing the stretcher carried by people with horses?" Zhang Xuan's heart turned and said: "I read it when I was reading history books, Han Fei's general Li Guang was once captured by the Huns, and the Huns were like this, hanging General Li between two horses with a fishing net. ”

Cao Da said: "'Hu rode widely, and when he was injured, he was placed between the two horses, and he was wide and prosperous. When my grandfather was there, he said that I could not read, but I was dead. At this moment, I knew that it was indeed the case. I didn't expect that I would be treated with General Fei now. There was a sense of pathos in the words.

Zhang Xuan was secretly shocked in his heart, it took him a while to react, what Cao Da said should be the original text of Li Guang written in a certain history book, it is ashamed to say that Zhang Xuan read comic books when he was a child, so he had this impression, but how it was written in the history books, Zhang Xuan didn't know.

There is just one thing, Zhang Xuan can be sure, that is, Cao Da is definitely not an ordinary person, without him, ordinary people can't read at all, even if people who have the money to read, read more books and five classics to take the top exam, and this Cao Da can actually recite a certain history book. I want to come to the family education is very strict, and I am not a family of imperial examinations, because if you rely on the imperial examinations specifically, you will not be required to specialize in history books.

Although Zhang Xuan couldn't figure out the details of Cao Da for a while, he felt that Cao Da was very human.

Zhang Xuan said tentatively: "I heard today that Brother Cao and Cheng Wenying, the magistrate of Nanyang, have a deep enmity in the sea of blood, but I don't know what the feud is, can you tell me about it next." ”

Cao Da suddenly sank. For a while, I only heard the sound of horse bells tinkling. Cao didn't dare to intervene in such a matter. Cao Da was silent for a while before he said: "Originally, I didn't want to tell people about my family feud, but today I put it bluntly, and there is nothing." Brother Zhang and I have a life-saving grace, what else can't I say? ”

"Although my surname is Cao, I am not famous, my name is Zongyu, Cao Zongyu. His father failed in the imperial examination, and he lived in Nanyang, and his ancestor was Cao Lin, the trilateral general system of the Tianqi Dynasty. Now that he ascended the throne, his ancestor had an affair with Wei Eunuch, and he was dismissed at home for more than ten years. My family is on the rich side of Nanyang. And Cheng Wenying is a student of my ancestors. The first thing I did when I arrived in Nanyang was to visit my ancestors. With the support of my Cao family, Cheng Wenying's Nanyang County Order is very comfortable. However, the ancestor of the family offended Donglin when he went to the field, and someone bought Cheng Wenying to kill my family. ”

As he spoke, Cao Da's mood was constantly changing. From pride to pride and then grief, when Cheng Wenying is mentioned, there is a kind of bitter hatred.

"I'll never forget that day." Cao Da, or Cao Zongyu, said. On that day, the housekeeper came to report, and Cheng Wenying threw the ancestral greeting post to the ground and uttered disrespectful words. The ancestor was furious and immediately took the servants to the county office. Teach this rebel a lesson. But once I went, I never came back. ”
