Chapter 16 Pulling out the camp
In the morning, Zhang Xuan got up very early. He didn't need anyone else to call him up.
It is said that the coldest time of the night is not at midnight, but in the early hours of the morning. Before, Zhang Xuan was just listening to others, but now he really experienced it, in the early hours of the morning, he only felt a chill spreading from the ground to his body, cold and biting. In particular, the feet seem to be pierced by spikes.
He missed the dilapidated little adobe house in Huangling City a little.
Almost trembling, Zhang Xuan finally waited for the sun to rise. The warm sun shone on his body, and Zhang Xuan had never felt the preciousness of sunlight so much.
"Woo." The horn blew.
"Camp." Rodain's voice swirled loudly through the camp.
The little girl jumped up violently and said, "Hey, it's time to pull out the camp." Childe, hurry up. ”
Zhang Xuan hurriedly spoke, but saw that the little girl brought the big black and small gray, put the tent away by two, and the folded tent was like a big umbrella and placed it on Xiao Gray's back. Xiaoya also put a bundle of straw on Little Gray's back. Busy, Zhang Xuan was ready to help, and Xiaoya immediately said: "Childe, these rough jobs, where can you let Childe do it, Xiaoya will come by herself." ”
Zhang Xuan thought of Cao Da, but he didn't know how Cao Da was doing last night, as soon as he thought of the chill last night, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and said, "I'll go see Cao Da." ”
Zhang Xuan couldn't figure out for a while how the layout of this old camp came about. However, he remembered yesterday's road, where he was, and it was not far from Cao Da's tent.
Zhang Xuan came to Cao Da's side, and before he entered the tent, he heard Cao Shi choke up and say, "Xianggong, you are awake." ”
"Wan'er, I've wronged you." A weak voice said: "My Cao someone's parents have not avenged their revenge, and they must not die here." ”
Zhang Xuan coughed twice and said, "Brother Cao?" The younger brother Zhang Xuan came to visit. ”
Cao Da's voice paused slightly, and said, "Come in." ”
Zhang Xuan lifted the tent, and after entering, he saw that Cao Da's complexion was a little better. Zhang Xuan examined Zhang Xuan's wound again, although Cao Da's wounds were many, they were as big as Luo Yulong's wounds, but they were very few. touched Cao Da's forehead again and found that it was no longer hot. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Cao, Jiren has his own natural appearance, if there are no other changes, Brother Cao will rest for a few days." ”
"Cao, Cao." A voice shouted outside, Zhang Xuan heard it a little familiar, it was Luo Dain's voice.
Cao Da said: "Master Luo, come in and talk about something." ”
Luo Dain picked up the door curtain and came in, and when he came in, it was almost full, Zhang Xuan immediately retreated, and Luo Dain walked in.
Zhang Xuan was listening outside, and Luo Dain said, "Cao Da, your injuries are a little better." ”
Cao Da said: "God bless, Doctor Zhang's skill, I can be regarded as surviving." ”
Luo Dain said: "There are some things that I can't say, but I can't help but say that the big boss has already ordered the camp to be pulled. So ---,"
"Master Luo, are you here to dismiss my husband and wife?" Cao Da's voice was a little chilled.
"Cao Da, I don't want to, but you are wounded, you can't march at all, the army can't stop and wait for you alone, here are three hundred taels of silver, leave it to you, find a place to hide for a while, and when the injury is healed, it's not too late to come back to the big boss." Rodain's voice was a little dry.
"The official army is behind, my husband and wife are not familiar with each other, where to flee and where to hide?" Before Cao Da could speak, Cao Shi said loudly, with a cry in his voice, and said, "You are forcing our husband and wife to die." ”
Rodain said, "I can't help it? ”
Zhang Xuan suddenly understood why Luo Dain didn't save Cao Da yesterday, not really because Cao Da was no longer saved, but because it was useless to save it, although the official army was defeated, it didn't mean that they wouldn't chase after him, even if the official army didn't chase him, the local gentry and landlords would also restore the county seat. Cao Da stayed, not easily discovered by locals.
But Cao Da's injuries forced Cao Da to march, and he was sure to die halfway.
If Cao Da died, the Cao family could still follow the team, and if Cao Da did not die, the Cao family would definitely die with Cao Da.
Zhang Xuan didn't know what was right and what was wrong for a while.
In the future, people's choices are how to live, and in this era, the choice is more about how to die.
"Master Luo, I know." Cao Da's voice was a little low. "I don't want this silver, it's just that Nanyang County ordered Cheng Wenying, it is a great revenge of life and death, and the lives of my Cao family and the whole family died in the hands of Cheng Wenying, and this revenge must be avenged. I, Cao, died here, not enough to worry about, but when I invited the soldiers to cross Nanyang, I killed Cheng Wenying and avenged this great revenge for me, Cao, even under Jiuquan, was grateful to Dade. ”
"It's up to you to avenge this revenge." Zhang Xuan picked up the curtain and squeezed in, and said, "Master Luo, is it that as long as Brother Cao can keep up with the march, he won't let Brother Cao stay?" ”
Luo Dain said: "Exactly, I am not a heartless person, where am I willing to deliberately force people to die?" ”
"Okay." Zhang Xuan said: "Brother Cao, you should have a horse." ”
Cao Da said: "I have a war horse. ”
"You don't want Cao Da to ride on a horse, do you?" Luo Dain said: "Not at all, in this way, Cao will not be able to hold on to it halfway through." ”
"Nope." Zhang Xuan said: "I also have a horse. You can walk on the two horses side by side, hang a soft bed between the two horses, and Brother Cao can rest on it. ”
Rodain said, "Is that okay?" ”
Zhang Xuan said: "Try it, isn't it done?" ”
Soon, Zhang Xuan asked Xiaoya to bring Da Hei, and then Cao brought Cao Da's war horse, and asked Cao to first weave a grid with hemp rope and tie it to the two horses, and then dismantle his tent, spread it on the net, and sew it at both ends, it became a soft bed.
Cao Da's comrades-in-arms lifted Cao Da to the top, and as long as he set up his two horses, he could go.
When Rodain saw this, he immediately stuffed the three hundred taels of silver that he was about to take out into the leather bag, and the three hundred taels of silver bulged the leather bag. said: "Cao, you are ready quickly, wait a while, you will be pulling out the camp, everyone is not waiting for you." ”
Luo Dain's tone was very unpleasant, but Cao Shi was like Feng Lunyin, a little crying with joy, and said, "The concubine knows." The concubine body knows. ”
Luo Dain secretly said in his heart: "I heard that the major general's injury is not good, and he can't walk on the ground." The big boss originally wanted to use the carriage, but the carriage was bumpy, where is this convenient. And if there is a case on the road, you can also get out of danger. ”
As soon as Luo Dain thought of this, he didn't care about Zhang Xuan's affairs, and immediately ran to find Luo Rucai.
"Not bad." Luo Rucai said around the soft bed between the two horses.
This soft bed, compared to Cao Da's soft bed, is much better, the middle is padded with the fur of an unknown beast, the formation is extremely tight, a person lying in it, as if trapped in the hair, there is no one in sight.
For Luo Rucai, what he likes most is that if nothing else, he can act quickly, as long as there are two good players on the horse, even if he is attacked by the official army, he can run.
"Is this what you came up with?" Luo Yujiao looked at Luo Dain with a somewhat suspicious look.
"Of course --- not. ”
If it weren't for Luo Yujiao being here, Luo Dain would have been ready to say yes.
Because Luo Rucai, Luo Yulong and others rarely go to the old camp, in their opinion, they are basically among the thousands of cavalry, even the foot soldiers, they are also temporarily recruited, as long as they are given food, no matter where they go, there is a steady stream of foot soldiers.
But Luo Yujiao often goes in and out of the old camp, and many things can't be hidden.
"It's the method offered by the new Doctor Zhang."
"It's him." Luo Yujiao's heart moved, and said, "Daddy, with this way, you can take the wounded away." It just so happens that in the last war, a lot of war horses were also captured, so it is better to form a battalion of wounded soldiers. ”
Luo Yujiao is very concerned about Zhang Xuan's affairs, and has already told Luo Rucai once.
Luo Rucai vetoed it last time, but at this moment Luo Rucai hesitated.
