Paying attention, Bai Liyan continued to eat, rested for a while, and returned to the camp again. The camp is in full swing, and most of the distribution is light cakes, which take less time to prepare than rice, and are easy to store and carry, and are more convenient to eat. As long as there is time, the partners give priority to the production of light cakes in case of emergency.

Bai Liyan quietly found Lao Li, the leader of the gang, and stepped forward and said:

"Guy Li, you're still busy."

"Yes, I just received the military order, and I prepared the whole army meal overnight, no, it's all cakes. Now there is a shortage of firewood, and people are going to cut down trees. ”

"yes, that's a lot of work."

"There's no way, we're big-headed soldiers, that's our fate." Speaking of this, Lao Li Tou changed his words: "I said Baili Langzhong, it's so late, you are not resting in the injury camp, what are you doing here." ”

"Hey, didn't you lose the dry food bag below?"

"Yo, this is not good, if you don't get it right, you will be beaten with a military stick."

"Isn't this looking for Lao Litou, do you find a way to come, see if you can accommodate me a little."

As he spoke, Bai Liyan stretched out his hand and handed Lao Li Tou a broken silver bill, Lao Li Tou peeked left and right, found that no one was paying attention, and quietly reached out and put it in his pocket.

"Well, only you Lang Zhong can make us raise our hands. You wait, the old man will go and get you a grain bag. ”

As the words fell, Lao Li Tou turned around and left, and in a moment brought Bai Liyan a bag of dry food, which contained five days' worth of rice.

"Let's talk about it, just this once, not for example."

"Okay, thank you very much. If you have any incurable diseases, you can come to me, and I will definitely give you medicine to get rid of the disease. ”

Bailiyan was sloppy as she walked, and then put away the bag of dry food and walked back.

The dry food bag is a necessary carrying material for every soldier's field march, and the ration is five days, and the food can be eaten for seven days. Under normal circumstances, the bag of dry food can not be lost, can not be eaten privately, offenders will be whipped at the lightest, and the heavy will be beaten with a stick, and many soldiers who have lost the bag of dry food will either try their best to steal from others, or can only bribe the gang leader.

At present, ordinary sergeants basically have no salary, so it is very difficult to bribe the gang leader, and the gang leader is not necessarily willing to do so. In case it is found, it is possible to sit together.

It is only Lang Zhong and the head of the soldiers in middle and low positions that can make the gang leader take risks, just because there are benefits, just like the broken silver bills that Bailiyan secretly stuffed just now, which is enough to buy more grain from the market, and the gang leader army dares to do it.

Get the dry food bag, stuff it into the burden behind your back, plus the original dry food bag, it is not a big problem to maintain the ration for ten days, save some food, maybe it can be longer.

Not long after returning to the wounded camp, he took a short rest, in case he overslept for a while, Bai Liyan didn't dare to lie down and sleep, so he leaned back against the baggage cart, wrapped himself in a futon and closed his eyes for a while.

I don't know when, there was a sudden wail, Bailiyan suddenly opened his eyes, and subconsciously looked up at the sky, the moon had reached the west, about three or four o'clock in the morning. Following the reputation, it was the wounded who slept on the self-weight car and was squeezed to the ground.

"Thankfully, no one noticed, so it's time to go."

Rubbing his face, Bai Liyan took advantage of the night to leave quietly, and went all the way south to find out the camp, and it can be seen that there are hidden cavalry patrolling hundreds of meters to the south, the air is covered with a thin layer of fog, and the wild grass on the ground is withered and yellow, which is extremely conducive to escaping:

"What a godsend!"

Peeping around and seeing that there was no one, Bailiyan was happy in her heart, and took advantage of the night to lower her posture and continue to the south, until she was close to the night patrol, Bailiyan lay down and crawled close to the ground.

When the patrol team was far away, until it completely disappeared from view, Baili Yan stood up and ran wildly. I don't know how long, but at dawn it turned to the southwest, and the southwest was the hinterland of Jiangdong County in Xianguo.

Just two hours after Bailiyan fled, the sky was bright. Generals Han He and Wang Shuo led the cavalry to arrive ahead of the Chinese army and joined the front army.

"General Wang Shuo, the Chinese army brigade is less than three miles away, and the Xian army vanguard is still fifteen miles. The old man mobilized the front army here, and General Lao Fu led the cavalry to replace the cavalry of the prince, preparing to meet the Chinese army. ”

"In this case, the last general will immediately go to replace the cavalry of the prince, drive!"

The two broke up before the battle, Han He immediately mobilized the front army to set up a formation to wait for work, and Wang Shuo led the cavalry to join Xichang.

"His Royal Highness, the last general will come to replace the cavalry of His Highness."

"General Wang Shuo came just in time, and this son is reporting something."

Ji Chang was in a hurry, Wang Shuo stopped the reins of the horse and asked:

"What will the son of the world report?"

"Bailiyan disappeared this morning."

“？！” Wang Shuo's ears exploded like a thunderclap, and he hurriedly asked: "Missing, when will you disappear?" ”

"I don't know. I only knew that when I woke up this morning to patrol the camp, the medical officer ordered that Bailiyan was gone. The son of this world sent out cavalry to search everywhere, but there was no trace. ”

"Quick, take Ben to see the medical officer's order."

"No!"

The two immediately found Qiu Yan, the medical officer of the wounded camp, and Wang Shuo hurriedly asked:

"The medical officer's order, when will you find the trace of Gongzi Yan's disappearance."

"The old man doesn't know, I just know that the sky is just dawning, the old man went out to inspect the wounds, and wanted to call Yan Gongzi, but he found that his person was gone, so he reported it to General Chang."

"Was there anything unusual last night?" Wang Shuo asked.

"Nothing out of the ordinary." Qiu Yan affirmed

Hearing this, Wang Shuo felt bad, obviously it is impossible for people to get lost, I had a full meal at the camp last night, it is impossible to be lost halfway, is it a run? Thinking of this, Wang Shuo didn't want to pursue it, and this time, thanks to Baili Yan, Han He was able to set up this plan to lure Wei Dan out of the battle, if he wanted to take revenge, wouldn't it be better than a pig and a dog.

And now that the army is on the battlefield, it is too late to find it. Thinking of this, Wang Shuo said:

"Your Royal Highness, now that the war is imminent, it is too late to find the matter of Baili Yan, so we can only wait until after the war to make plans."

"This rat, thief, dare to escape, when General Ben catches him back, he will not be spared!"

What Ji Chang said was gritting his teeth and spitting fire, Wang Shuo glanced sideways and didn't say anything more. But I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, could it be that Ji Chang was sent by King Jin to assassinate Bailiyan this time?

Because the King of Jin only confessed to let Wang Shuo deceive Bailiyan into the army, but did not explain to him, Wang Shuo was sloppy, anyway, as long as I didn't receive the king's edict, I wouldn't do it. Now that Bailiyan has run away by herself, she can only ask for more blessings.

Not long after Wang Shuo dealt with this matter, the Xian and Jin armies fought head-on, and finally the Xian army was defeated, and the veteran Wei Dan was shot at the center of the mouth by a stray arrow, and died two days later. The Jin army won a great victory, killing and wounding more than 20,000 Xian troops, capturing nearly 10,000 enemies, and the rest were scattered as birds and beasts. From there, the Jin army marched all the way west, and then went down more than 20 cities......

Sixteen days later, in the nameless highlands in the southwest of Xianguo, a lonely figure walked alone on the wilderness full of hoarfrost, which was the Baili Yan who fled all the way to this place like a lost dog. His hair was unkempt and wrapped in straw, his nose was blue and his face was swollen from the cold, his face was bloodless, and he rubbed his hands with good medicine from time to time.

At this time, the food has been eaten, and he has been fleeing for more than ten days in a row, and there are no town shops or tenants along the way, and there is not even a place to stay.

"Shhh...... Cold, cold, ......"

Bailiyan was shivering from the cold, every step was so difficult, he simply stopped, stood on the slope and looked at the road ahead in confusion, thinking about where the road was.

As far as the eye can see, it is full of desolation, silence and lifelessness. When it was almost desperate, a faint wisp of cooking smoke that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye appeared in front of him, like a needle of chicken blood, and the low heart tide on his chest ignited a flame again.

"Smoke ...... Smoke! It's cooking smoke! ”

I saw gray smoke faintly floating two miles away in the southwest, and Bailiyan endured hunger and thirst and ran wildly.

The smoke column is getting thicker and closer, and the village is faintly visible on the horizon, the village is not large, there are only a dozen or so households, sitting in the shade of the hillside, with a forest behind them, perhaps the hunters here, or the villagers who make a living by chopping wood. But one way or another, there must be someone.

The pace is getting faster and faster, and Baili Yan can almost smell the fragrance, it is the fragrance of sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes or boiled sweet potatoes, now even if they eat them raw, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they swallow a whole live pig.

Stepping into the entrance of the village, a broken well stood quietly outside the village abruptly, deaf to the hustle and bustle, the village was dead silent, and the silence was chilling.

Bailiyan was already hungry and crazy, desperate to rush into the village, looking for it from house to house.

Pushing open the village entrance family, the four walls of the house are already empty, pushing open the second household, empty and dilapidated, and pushing open three houses in a row, all of which are empty.

"Impossible, how is this possible, it's not an illusion, it's obviously fragrant, it's a sweet potato, it's a sweet potato. There must be, there must be someone. ”

Following the smell, Bailiyan searched all the way west, and stopped at a sink to stop. Looking back, a low hut with a closed door and no smoke was there, but the smell of sweet potatoes was the strongest.

Extremely hungry, he turned around and threw himself at the hut, kicked open the door that looked like an ornament, and at this time an old couple curled up and hid in the corner, holding a bowl of roasted sweet potatoes in their arms, looking at Bailiyan tremblingly, the horror and fear in their eyes were at the extreme.

After taking a closer look, Bai Liyan hurriedly reined in his situation and said:

"This old man, don't be afraid, I'm just very hungry and want to eat."

The old man looked at it in horror, and said carefully:

"You...... Don't come here, as long as you don't hurt the old man, you can take the food......"

When the words fell, the old man threw a piece of sweet potato, and Bailiyan pounced on the sweet potato on the ground like a hungry wolf. Without waiting for his mouth to eat it all, Bailiyan hurriedly said:

"And the old man."

"Yes, you want as much as you want."

The old husband and wife saw Baili Yan's good face, and handed over a bowl of sweet potatoes:

"Kid, eat slowly, don't choke."

"Huh!" Baili Yan asked while eating: "Uncle, where is this?" ”

"This is Xiatang Village, two hundred miles to the south, and it is Zhiguo."

"Yes, then why are there only two old men in the village, and everyone else?"

Hearing this, old Hanton was disappointed. In fact, the old man is not very old, less than fifty. Because of the hardship of livelihood and the heavy labor, so that less than fifty years old, like an old man in his seventies and eighties.

"Kid, you're not from Xianguo, are you?"

"I was a native of Qiguo, and I came to Xianguo with my father when I was young. By the way, why are there only two old men in the village? ”

"Alas...... Since 50 years ago, the king has used soldiers to recruit soldiers year after year, and the young and strong people in the village have been recruited, and those who have not been requisitioned have fled in fright. Over time, only my wife and I were left in Xiatang Village. ”

Hearing this, Bailiyan restrained her eating appearance, put down the sweet potato in her hand and said:

"So the old man's sons have been conscripted into the army."

"Yes, my eldest son died ten years ago, my second son also died, the third child just grew up so big, and ran away in order to survive, there is really no way, there must be a man in the family to keep the seeds, if they are all extinct, my wife and I will live in vain in this life."

"Then those who have been fighting wars for years, conscripting soldiers for many years, and having brothers and only children in their families, will also be conscripted?"

"Yes, Xianguo has few people, if you don't levy it, how can it be a war."

"But I heard that Sun Yue, the prime minister of Xianguo, has implemented the law change and implemented the "Nongsang Order" for many years, why are the people still living so hard, and they can only live on sweet potatoes."

"Listen to your words, you are a reader, you know a lot. You don't know, although this "Nongsang Order" is good, it can't be affordable on the heads of small people such as me, and in the end, what can I do. ”

"According to the old uncle, the "Nongsang Order" has been implemented for many years, but the people have not been able to benefit."

"Yes, you don't want to think about it, whose land is planted by our people, isn't it all the king's, the king holds the field in one hand and the money in the other, and the grain is not hot yet, so it was forcibly bought and requisitioned, what can I do with the small people."
