Xue Shao invited Cheng Wuting aside and said, "I was observing all the way back, and I found that the most conspicuous of the four captives was naturally that woman, but no matter how special her identity is, she is not important to military affairs. Judging from his appearance and clothing, the man in front of us just now looks like a big man. Actually, no! ”

"How so?" Cheng Wuting asked.

"Looks!" Xue Shao said: "It's hard to hide the look in one's eyes. This man often looks silent and indifferent, trying to pretend not to be angry and arrogant. But I have seen fear and hesitation in his eyes more than once. Just like just now, when he heard about the retreat of the Turks, he immediately panicked. If he was really a big man, he would have been more composed, and he should not have expressed such amazement at the retreat of his own people, because that is simply a reasonable thing - then I guess he may have some identity, but he is definitely not a leader with major decision-making power in military affairs, because he can't think of this layer! ”

"Makes sense!" Cheng Wuting nodded thoughtfully, "What about the other two men who General An caught him?" ”

"The young one who often regarded himself as a grassland nobleman, arrogant and unruly, and did not have much knowledge, like a gentleman, who may be the son of a big man." Xue Shao said, "As for the other man, he was the most taciturn and inconspicuous along the way, and he looked like a guard or a slave from his outfit. But I think he's definitely the most important of the four! ”

"For what?"

"Because he's so quiet." Xue Shao said, "The Turks are enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and our people have killed many of them in a surprise attack, and they are their enemies of life and death." When the moon slave and the female prisoner were arguing fiercely and looked like they were going to beat someone, the gentleman stood up more than once to help and curse. The Turkic people have always been savage and domineering, but the slave or guard, who is supposed to protect his master, is unusually quiet and has always remained silent. How could he be if it weren't for the fact that important people were afraid of revealing their identities from their words and deeds? - For example, if my house slave was like a shrunken turtle when I was bullied by outsiders, I would not have spared him. However, the handsome young man and the domineering female captive never complained to him, and the middle-aged man in fine clothes had been trying to play the role of their leader. All three of them have been trying to get our attention in a variety of different ways, just to cover him! ”

"Clever!" Cheng Wuting's eyes lit up, "Let's go see him?" ”

Xue Shao smiled and waved his hand, "Don't look at it, just hang him like this, let him think that we don't have any notice." With the captives in hand, the initiative is in our hands, and it should be the Turks who are in a hurry. No matter how cunning the fox is, it can't escape the hunter's hand. Let's wait and see how they perform! ”

"Interesting!" Cheng Wuting smiled, "It's like a cat playing with a mouse!" ”

Xue Shaoha laughed.

At this time, the moon slave came over and changed back into her chivalrous suit, her face was flushed, obviously scrubbed hard.

Xue Shao laughed when he saw her, "Don't put that messy thing on your face in the future, it's miserable!" ”

Yuenu looked left and right, his face was flushed, and he looked a little embarrassed, and whispered: "I'm also a woman, and occasionally ...... Get your feet wet! ”

"Then you can also draw beautifully, like a female ghost!" Xue Shao couldn't laugh or cry.

"I haven't studied since I was a child, and no one has taught me ......," Moon Nu said in a sneering voice.

Cheng Wuting smiled on the side, "Xue Gongzi, this is your mistake!" Girls, it's nature to love beauty! Miss Ann is so beautiful, she should dress up. She won't, you can teach her yourself! ”

Xue Shao shook his head and smiled, "When I go back to Chang'an, I will find someone to learn, don't wear that kind of clothes anymore, don't forget what kind of place this is." ”

"Yes......"

At this moment, one of Cheng Wuting's lieutenants trotted over, "Report, general!" - The main force of the reinforcements has arrived! ”

"Hey, Li Xiantong's little miscellaneous hair is here!" There were no outsiders around, and Cheng Wuting said with disdain, "If you come, you'll come, what are you shouting!" ”

The adjutant general said: "They asked the general to open the city and release the pass, and guide the army to the designated cantonment site. ”

"I know it." Cheng Wuting said nonchalantly, "Let those 30,000 horses be stationed in the open space north of the city, next to the Great Wall." They should have brought food and grass or something. Sheep wine to the army, absolutely not. Tell them that the only four-legged ones left in Shuozhou City are war horses and Hu beds! ”

The lieutenant snorted, "Yes! ”

"You let Cheng Qizhi arrange these things, he and Li Xiantong used to be colleagues and knew each other well." Cheng Wuting waved his hand, "I'm too lazy to see that little miscellaneous hair!" ”

"Yes!" The adjutant general complied and trotted away.

Xue Shao smiled: "General Evil, he is really jealous and hateful!" ”

"I want to cut that little stray hair with a knife, too!" The moon slave said indignantly, "He actually wants to arrest Gongzi, it's really crooked!" ”

"You are a girl, how can you scold foul language?" Xue Shao glared.

"I was wrong!" The moon slave hurriedly stuck out his tongue and took two steps back.

Cheng Wuting laughed, "You little couple, it's really funny!" ”

Yuenu's face flushed, in fact, we are not a little two......

"The battle in Shuozhou is really tragic. There are only 800 warriors left under the command of General Evil, and it is not easy to survive. The Three Swords Brigade also has a number of brothers who are with your men to heal their wounds. Xue Shao said, "Let's go visit the wounded together!" ”

"Just what I want!" Cheng Wuting waved his hand, "Let's go, I'll take you there!" ”

Xue Shao called Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen, and the group went to visit the wounded and sick with Cheng Wuting.

Medical treatment in the Tang Dynasty was not developed, and people like Cheng Wuting were cut open and healed with an arrow and bones, and he couldn't fully recover in less than half a year. He was lucky, many people who were injured by sword sores had their limbs amputated, and if they were lucky, they might be able to survive. In the military, the mortality rate of the wounded has always been high. “

Xue Shao thought to himself, it would be great if a group of surgeons could treat these wounded. The logistical support measures of the Datang army need to be strengthened urgently!

Hundreds of wounded soldiers lived together, and there were only a dozen or so military doctors, and due to poor supplies in the rear, all kinds of medicines were scarce. The wounded were in pain, and wails could be heard from time to time.

On the battlefield, these people are warriors who are not afraid of death. But once they lay on the sickbed, the torture of the disease was far more painful for them than the sword of the enemy.

The more heroic the warrior, the more unbearable this feeling of "powerlessness". As a result, many people screamed miserably, and their tempers became very rough.

It's not that they're afraid of pain and death, it's that they can't bear to be a waste!

As soon as Cheng Wuting and Xue Shao appeared, the wounded suddenly came to their senses, some crawled closer to them, some cried loudly, and some roared hoarsely-

"I still have a leg, and I can still ride a horse!"

"Give me back the knife!"

"I'm going to fight! Send me up to the castle! ”

"Brothers—" Cheng Wuting shouted, and the wounded were quiet.

Cheng Wuting's eyes were wet, and he helped a few people who climbed off the sickbed to lie back, his voice trembled a little, and said: "You must recuperate with peace of mind, respect the military doctor, and listen to the military doctor as if you were obeying my orders!" When your injuries are healed, and you are a good man under the command of Evil Lai, we will go and cut off the heads of the Turkic dogs together! ”

"Okay—" the wounded promised loudly, sounding like a sworn oath before the battle.

The moon slave had already run to the sickbed of several guards of the Three Knife Brigade, to tidy up their wounds, carry tea and pour water, and comfort them softly and make them happy, just like a virtuous and capable housewife in a big family.

Xue Shao looked at all this in front of him and sighed softly.

It is no wonder that it is said in the book of war, "Those who know soldiers are not warlike", and "Killing one thousand enemies will cause eight hundred losses." At the end of a war, no matter whether you win or lose, many people will die, and many of these wounded will have to be added. If you are slightly injured, you may be able to recover in the future and live like a normal person. Many of the crippled can only retire in disgrace. Back in the local area, it is difficult for such people to have any security, and even if they will not lack food and clothing, their lives will become bleak.

Once it will be successful, ten thousand bones will wither!

Xue Shao, Cheng Wuting, Yuenu and others comforted these wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks for a long time. In the military, the wounded are the most special group, they are both physically and psychologically, they especially need the care and comfort of others, especially the spiritual leaders in their minds, to come and see them.

Xue Shao could see that Cheng Wuting sincerely cared for these wounded people, and definitely did not dislike them because they became a burden. was slightly injured, Cheng Wuting looked forward to his early recovery and return to his side to fight side by side; Seriously injured, Cheng Wuting made a categorical promise to help them win the lord, and try his best to arrange their retirement and pension, so that they can have a guarantee for their future life and life.

Loving soldiers like children is manifested in these details. It is not unreasonable for evil to lead troops in a good way and be highly respected and loved by his subordinates.

Xue Shao really learned a lot from Cheng Wuting.

When the group was busy working in the wounded barracks, the adjutant general who reported the news came again, this time running in a bit of a hurry, and even a little panicked. Because there were many people present and it was a little noisy and chaotic, he shouted loudly from afar: "Report - General Cheng!" People are coming! ”

"What are you yelling about!" Cheng Wuting was talking to a relatively close wounded subordinate, and shouted angrily, "Let that miscellaneous hair wait in the main hall of the governor's mansion!" ”

"No, no, General!" The deputy general was full of panic and hurriedly trotted towards Cheng Wuting's side.

Before he could run to Cheng Wuting's side, a group of people walked in at the door of the wounded barracks, and a slightly old but majestic voice came -

"Evil, I haven't seen you for a few days, your old boy's scolding skills have risen!"

Xue Shao was bandaging the wounds of a wounded brother of the Three Swords Brigade with his back to the gate, when he heard this voice, he suddenly got up and turned around, and said in surprise: "Marshal Pei? What are you doing here!! ”.
