Chapter 107: Worry

"Lord Li, the deputy commander Wang Er is no longer good, he said that he wants to see the Lord before he dies. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The voice of Monk An, the leader of the rampaging team, was very low, and his rough face showed a rare sad color.

"Oh, take the officer to see him quickly."

Li Xiao, who was directing the soldiers to make tartar heads with lime nitrate, hurriedly replied, turned his head and followed Monk An to the Chen Mazi Medical Hall.

"Wang Er in this battle, first was knocked to the ground by the Tartar horse, almost trampled to death by the horse, fortunately he was clever to dodge, and then killed two horse armor cavalry in a row, and finally was accidentally stabbed in the chest by a white armor, alas, it is all fate。。。。。。" Monk An sighed as he walked.

Li Xiao's thick eyebrows tightened, but he didn't say anything, but the pace under his feet accelerated the more he did.

Entering the medical hall, Li Xiao saw that Doctor Chen and a few men hurriedly straightened the bones, debrided, medicated, splinted, and bandaged the wounded soldiers, and then, Zu Wan'er and a group of women formed a nurse team to put these preliminarily treated wounded soldiers on beds in different areas according to two categories: minor injuries and serious injuries, and at the same time responsible for decoction, washing bandages, boiling medicine scissors, dispensing medicines and other auxiliary work.

Zu Wan'er saw Li Xiao and the others coming in at a glance, but she was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, so she didn't have time to chat with Li Xiao, so she just nodded to Li Xiao from afar, and went to take care of herself.

"My lord, over here."

Monk An pointed to a hospital bed in the corner, Li Xiao saw that Wang Er, who was wrapped in a thick bandage on his chest, kept coughing in his mouth, and the deputy captain Wu Zhuang and several other rampant team members were guarding his bedside, whispering some words of relief.

"Lady Lee。。。。。。"

Wang Er, the second deputy leader of the rampant team lying on the bed, caught a glimpse of Li Xiao striding towards him, extremely weak, he raised his right hand with great effort and shook it at Li Xiao.

"Wang Er, don't move, this official is here. Don't think about it, it'll be fine soon. ”

Li Xiao strode forward, holding Wang Erhan's raised right hand with both hands, and replied with concern.

Wu Zhuang and the others next to him hurriedly retreated a few steps when they saw Li Xiao, the official of the thousand households, coming.

Wang Er shook his head while coughing.

"My lord, I know that I really can't get through this time. It is normal for soldiers to eat food and die on the battlefield. It's just that there is one thing, I, I must ask the adults. Wang Er finished speaking, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"Say it."

"Master Li, you are the director of the Supervision Department, I just want to ask you, can a person like me, who has been a thief before, really go to heaven?" Wang Er asked with a cough.

"Of course you can, if you know your mistakes and can change them, you are a hero. If even a warrior like you who fought bravely to kill the Tartars could not go to Heaven, then who else was qualified to go to Heaven. Li Xiao's words were soft and firm.

"My lord, to be honest, I, I don't want to go to heaven, I just want to live with my father, my eldest brother, and my sister after I die, I have land to plant, clothes to wear, food to eat, and the family lives peacefully and steadily, so I will be content." Wang Er squeezed out a wry smile on his face, coughed violently, but spurted a mouthful of blood.

"Wang Er, don't worry, your thoughts, Heavenly Court knows it, and the Heavenly Emperor will definitely satisfy you." Li Xiao's eyes were moist, and he carefully wiped the blood from his mouth with a wet towel.

"My lord, I, I see my lord, I just have a request, I want to say it to my lord." Wang Er gasped and said hurriedly.

"You say, the officials are listening."

"My lord, after I die, I don't want a pension, I have no relatives in the world, so I will give me a pension of two silver, let the brothers in the army eat better, and let them avenge me by killing a few more Tartars. I have only one request, that is, when I am buried, my grave will face west, and I will not be able to serve my parents in my life, and the ghosts who have died will also go back to my hometown in Shanxi, and I must be with them. After Wang Er finished saying this long paragraph, he became more and more intermittent and weak, but there were two lines of muddy tears in his eyes, which slowly flowed out.

"I promise you that I will do it. You can rest assured. ”

Li Xiao's voice was choked, he stroked Wang Er's convex forehead, and found that Wang Er's face showed a faint smile, but his eyes gradually lost their luster, and the right hand that was held by him no longer had any strength.

In Li Xiao's eyes, tears flickered, and he couldn't bear it.

Does the Heavenly Court, the distant and holy Heavenly Court, really exist?

But if the heavenly court, which is full of eternal happiness, does not exist, how can it comfort these loyal souls, how can it comfort those who are struggling to survive in troubled times!

These soldiers who died fighting for their country on the battlefield, these people who died tragically in the troubled times, are like light smoke passing away with the wind, no one remembers them, no one knows, and their ultimate fate may only be an insignificant number written by historians.

In the dark history, there always seems to be a dark force that is jealous of the splendid civilization of China and wants to suppress it quickly. The Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty, these cruel and dark barbaric forces, always when China was about to change, they forcibly interrupted the Chinese civilization, and let the Chinese civilization reverse again and again. In particular, the vicious Manchu Qing Dynasty's tampering with Chinese civilization, clamping down on the thinking of the Han people, and destroying the clothing and clothing of the upper country made China, which has been leading the world since ancient times, finally become a clown in the international community. His despicable and criminal thoughts and methods have been poisoned to this day, which is suffocating.

Li Xiao felt that his chest seemed to be blocked by a big stone, which made him suffocate tightly, depressed and panicked, wanted to shout loudly, wanted to roar at the sky, but found that he couldn't say anything.

"Now that the weather is hot, we must cremate these brothers who died in battle as soon as possible, put them in urns, and bring them back to Shandong for burial after our army returns."

Li Xiao, who came out of the medical hall, had returned to a calm and normal face, and he told Guan Yi, deputy director of the Supervision and Relief Department.

"Don't worry, students, they will do their errands." Guan Yi solemnly replied.

Together with the soldiers who died of their wounds, a total of 40 soldiers died in this battle, and the bodies of these 40 soldiers were cremated outside the fort.

Li Xiao took the whole fort staff to participate in the cremation ceremony of these loyal soldiers, and he personally delivered a eulogy and sprinkled wine to pay tribute. Li Xiao's actions made all the military and civilians very emotional.

As for the headless corpses of those tartars, Li Xiao also ordered them to be cremated, and then they were thrown outside in the barren fields to make fertilizer. In such hot weather, if these Tartar carcasses are not disposed of quickly, it is likely to lead to a plague outbreak.

Next, according to the statistics of the battle report of the Supervision and Restoration Division, Li Xiao began to reward his soldiers for meritorious deeds and related pensions.

More than five thousand taels of silver were spent.

Seeing those Li Xiaojun soldiers coming to the stage to receive the reward, Du Shaoru's department, who had been watching the battle on the city wall, the 45 fort soldiers under Wei Zhen and Fu Anqian, and the 75 newly recruited male recruits from the civil households in the fort, all looked at those Li Xiaojun soldiers with a happy face to receive the reward with a look of envy.

Xu Mao, the captain of the family, sighed in his heart, this Li Xiaojun is so capable of fighting, and so strict in rewards and punishments, compared with other officers and troops of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth.

Wei Zhen Fu Anqian also sighed, if a strong army like Li Xiao could be stationed in this Jinjiazhuang fortress forever. Such a Ming official army is the real protector of the people, and it is the mighty army that can really make people feel admired from the heart.

Next, Li Xiao began to deal with the men and women who were captured by the Tartars, but were fortunate enough to be rescued by themselves.

Li Xiao proposed that those of them who wanted to go home could immediately return on their own, and they could also be given a few days of dry food for each of them.

What he didn't expect was that, in addition to the fact that only about 100 people wanted to go home, most of the men and women said that now that the Tartars had destroyed their homes, they had lost their relatives and were homeless, and they did not want to return home. If Lord Li is willing to take him in, they are all willing to serve in Li Xiaojun.

These people are all adult men and women selected by the Tartars, they are all strong people, they are willing to join, Li Xiao of course welcomes them.

After giving each of the more than 100 people who wanted to return to their hometown on Xuanfu East Road a week of dry food, Li Xiao let them go home on their own, and also sent flying harriers to sentry for them and send them to the Nanhe River to return.

At present, there are 690 strong men and 430 strong women in Li Xiao's army.

Li Xiao asked all these strong men to be incorporated into the auxiliary reserves, and let them start the most basic military training together with those new recruits in the fort.

Li Xiao handed over all those strong women to the logistics captain Chen Monkey to manage, and he assigned them to do all kinds of logistics services.

Due to the arrival of a large number of new people and a large amount of seized grain, the people of Jinjiazhuang Fort were stable and became more energetic, and the original large vacant houses were converted into temporary military camps by Li Xiao to accommodate a large number of recruits and new members of the logistics team.

Jinjiazhuang Fort returned to normal days, and another three days passed without a disturbance.

Generals such as Tian Wei Duan Shidi and others can feel that in the past few days since this invitation battle. Although Li Xiao's face was as calm and natural as before, when no one was around, there seemed to be a faint layer of worry on his face.

Xu Mao, the captain of the family, also saw it.

On the third day, when he was delivering food to Du Shaoru, who was detained in the house, he inadvertently mentioned this matter to Du Shaoru.

When Du Shaoru heard this, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and there were two bright lights beating in his eyes.

"Can you really see it?"

Xu Mao looked at Du Shaoru's strange expression, and then nodded hesitantly. "It's strange to say, now that I have defeated this Tartar, this Lord Li is worried, but it is strange."

"Hmph, you don't know why, but this official knows what kind of tricks are hidden in Li Xiao's stomach!"

"Master Du, can you see that?"

"Of course! This official tells you that the reason why Li Xiao is worried must be because the Tartar head can't repay the merits! ”

"Oh?"

"That Li Xiao, who was originally a guest army, was helpless in my Xuanfu Town, and now he has made such a great achievement, but he didn't immediately report the merit, why are you doing it!" A gloomy smile flashed on Du Shaoru's face.

"What do you mean?"

Li Xiao, who entered the dog, was afraid that his head and military merits would be swallowed by the top, so he didn't report it for a long time! Even if this kid is smart, if he really reports it stupidly, hmph, he is afraid that these hundreds of heads will be immediately robbed by the governor, governor, general soldier, soldier Beidao, and all the town guard generals who have been scolded by the emperor half to death. A foreign guest army like Li Xiao, even if his head and military exploits are swallowed, he can only stare dryly! Du Shaoru sneered.

"So, then Master Li, is it because of this reason that you don't dare to report?" Xu Mao had a thoughtful expression.

"It must be so!" Du Shaoru's eyes widened, and he reprimanded: "Xu Mao, you are now opening your mouth with a Master Li, closing your mouth with a Master Li, and you have a sweet mouth, could it be that Li Xiao, what benefits did you give!" ”

"My lord, you are too careful, since you were placed under house arrest by him, the villain has been careful in Li Xiaojun's work, and his words are afraid of offending people, so he has not had time to change his words for a while. I don't know anything anymore, and I know that you are my chief Xu Mao. Xu Mao hurriedly replied.

Du Shaoru snorted, a slightly satisfied expression appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice and said, "Xu Mao, there is something that the official wants you to do quickly." β€œ

"Oh, what are you going to do next?" A nervous look flashed on Xu Mao's face.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to tell you to kill Li Xiao." Du Shaoru saw that Xu Mao's face was nervous, and said dissatisfiedly: "This official only needs you to send someone to Xiaobaiyang Fort, where Du's commander is located, and report the matter of Li Xiao's killing of more than 200 Tartar heads in this battle to Lord Du." ”

"Oh."

"Do you understand?"

"Got it."

"Okay, then you go and arrange it quickly, after the matter is completed, the Japanese official will definitely reward you heavily!" Du Shaoru's eyes were full of expectation.

"Yes, I'll arrange it next." Xu Mao promised, then cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and bowed his head.

Looking at Xu Mao's departing back, a sneer flashed on Du Shaoru's face.

Since Xu Maolai told him three days ago that Li Xiaojun had won a complete victory in inviting the Tartars, Du Shaoru had been in an extremely shocked mood for the past few days.

This dog-in-the-top Li Xiao, his soldiers are so capable of fighting, even half of Niulu's Tartar can be wiped out in one fell swoop, and its combat power is terrifying, not to mention that Xuanfu is the first, that is, the first in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be too much.

In contrast, the so-called Qianzong, since he joined the army, he has not been able to achieve any real results. This person is really incomparable.

Du Shaoru imagined that Li Xiao was promoted to become rich, and the resentment in his heart was even more indescribable.

originally thought that he could only swallow his anger like this, but he didn't expect that now, he finally had the opportunity to punish Li Xiao!

He believed that Du Shi would not come to the rescue of himself who was under house arrest by Li Xiao because he was afraid of the Tartars. But now there is the temptation of more than 200 Tartar heads, and Du Shi, who has been severely reprimanded by Zhang Quanchang, the chief soldier of Xuanzhen, for losing the main fort of Longmen Guard, will definitely rush to this Jinjiazhuang Fort as quickly as possible like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

Du Shaoru thought happily, perhaps, among the people who came with Du Shi, I am afraid that there are also Xuanzhen commanders, governors, soldiers and other big soldiers.

What's more, after swallowing Li Xiao's head and military exploits, in order to keep Li Xiao, a guest army from out of town, from shouting dissatisfied, it is likely that they will use some means to make him quiet forever.

Hmph, Li Xiao, who entered the dog, you are so proud of your success, don't say that you eat meat and drink soup, but I am afraid that the final result will be that those who have even a grain of soup will not be able to eat it!

Du Shaoru had a happy smile on his face, if it weren't for the Li Xiao soldiers guarding at the door, Du Shaoru really wanted to shout: "Li Xiao who entered the dog, you have a fucking today!" (To be continued.) )
