Pei Xingjian asked on his behalf: "Two Xiao ladies, what are your names?" ”

The older one continued to reply: "My name is Wang Dianzi, and my sister's name is Wang Princess. ”

"Why did you think of meeting His Royal Highness the Prince? It must be known that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of our Tang Dynasty, the future prince, is not comparable to your southern edicts and barbarians? "Speaking very arrogantly, it means that you two ordinary women can see it if you want to. But this is also the case, now the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is still slightly above the Han Dynasty of that year, and these Xiao edicts are not even as good as the Yelang of the year, but the imperial court has not been much interested in the south.

Wang Dianzi looked dazed and replied: "We don't know, we originally escaped and wanted to go to the Central Plains to make a living." All the way east, I heard that the prince was going to go on an expedition, and His Royal Highness the prince was very benevolent, so he wanted to do his part to see if he could let the court avenge our people. ”

At this time, Liang Jishou said in a low voice: "The minister remembered, it's not the two kings, it's called the Wan Jian department, these two girls should be surnamed Wan, not Wang." This tribe is located in the upper reaches of the Nong River River, in the mountains between the Yak River and the Sesui River, and the tribe is not large, about 1,000 people, because they live in inaccessible places and have little contact with the outside world. However, there are many precious yao materials in the mountains and rivers, and from time to time there are people who go out to exchange yao materials for the outside world. This is what outsiders know. ”

Li Wei sighed, although the situation was rotten because of greed, but in military terms, Liang Jishou was still well prepared, otherwise he would not be able to remember so many tribes. But the approximate location comes to mind. It is far away from the iron bridge of the Tubo frame, and it is still on the iron bridge. However, there are big snow mountains and Hengduan Mountains on it, and there are many steep canyons and primeval forests, so Tubo enters Nanzhao from the iron bridge. The Tang Dynasty was not interested in other parts of Nanzhao, let alone in this place, and actually belonged to a three-way zone. This indirect entry of Tibet must have wiped out these tribes by the way. For the Tibetan people, there is no such thing as Confucian royal way and benevolence.

Pei Xingjian also heard it, turned his head and glanced at Liang Jishou, thought for a while and said, "But the two Xiao ladies, this is a big army, and women can't be allowed to go along." ”

Wang Dian'er was very puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

Pei Xingjian knew that these barbarians didn't have so many rules, but he was also very patient, and explained: "This is the military rule of my dynasty, and women entering can dissipate the morale of the army." ”

"We only follow behind the army, okay, if the military master is sick, or we can help, the subjects have followed their father since childhood, and their medical skills are acceptable." As she spoke, Wang Dian'er just fell to the ground, as if she wanted to cry.

However, the princess who is young may not be very sensible, so she continued to raise her head and looked at everyone with curious eyes, especially Li Wei, who was the crown prince, so she stared at it for the longest time.

Pei Xingjian's heart also softened, and said: "I made an exception and allowed you to follow, but after arriving in Yaozhou City, the battle situation has stabilized, you can inquire about the whereabouts of your family and see if there is any news of the clansmen, and you can no longer follow." ”

"Thank you, general," Wang Dian'er replied excitedly. As he spoke, he dragged a xiao car from the side of the road, a very xiao two-wheeled vehicle, with some luggage in it and a lot of yao materials. The car door didn't open, and I smelled a smell of yao wood from a distance. It seems that the two girls are indeed a doctor, but they don't know how good they are.

However, it soon came in handy, and when they camped at night, it was impossible to really let them hang alone in the back, and they were also moved to the barracks. The team has been training a bit tightly these days, and some of the soldiers have been wounded. There were also a few soldiers who were unfamiliar with it, and let the Xiao insect Xiao snake bite. There are some doctors in the army, but the number is very small, not enough. The two girls took the initiative to participate.

Unlike the Central Plains medical technique, there is no such thing as taking a pulse, just looking and asking, and then opening yao, the yao prescription is also very strange, but it is very effective. They were also as old as Hua Yù and looked beautiful, so many soldiers took the initiative to seek medical treatment from them.

Zhu Jing saw it, frowned and said, "Pei Shilang, this is not very good." ”

"This is a few days of work, and the siege of the city is also temporary, and governance is the first life. The two of them are weak women, they entered the Central Plains like this, and they are not the Central Plains, the people in this area are complicated, Zhu Linjun, are you really relieved? ”

"Military discipline ......"

"Let's go and see."

Several people walked over together, the two girls were busy, wiping the sweat on their heads with their sleeves from time to time, the so-called medical mastery, I'm afraid it's only Wang Dian'er, that princess can only play miscellaneous on the side. Wang Dian'er rolled up the sleeves of a soldier's coat,

This soldier was training in the bamboo forest a few days ago, and was bitten by a bamboo leaf, and he was also healed, so that the doctor made a cross and discharged the poisonous blood. But this snake venom xìng is very strong, and the arm is still swollen to this day, which looks shocking.

Wang Dian'er looked at the wound and said, "It was bitten by a bamboo leaf snake." ”

Many barbarians are not called Bamboo Leaf Green, but directly called Bamboo Leaf Snake, and the soldiers nodded.

Wang Dian'er also took out a xiao silver knife, put it on the fire and roasted it for a while, and then cut the soldier's wound again, squeezed out some stinky bruises, and tied it tightly with strips of cloth. There was no scientific principle in this era, but this department was very clever. Li Wei nodded secretly.

Then Wang Dian'er took out some yao materials from the car, as well as a tuoganrou, put them in the yao jar, and said: "After boiling, drink it, drink it two or three times, and there will be no big problem." In fact, the bite of the bamboo leaf snake is very painful, but it will not kill people. But on the south, there were other serpents, but they could not be touched. After some snake bites, even my father couldn't cure them. ”

"Thank you, Miss Wang," said the soldier with a sigh of relief.

"Wang Xiao lady, what kind of rou is that?" Li Wei asked curiously.

"It's the Holy Bird Rou." The princess replied.

"Holy Bird Rou?"

"It's the peacock rou that your Han family said, which can detoxify all kinds of poisons. But your Han family doesn't know, you just ask for Yu Mao, so the other tribes in our tribe who pay tribute to your Han family Yu Mao Jiao Yi dried the rou into rou. It works well to treat snake venom. Our tribe worships it as a sacred bird. And it is also very beautiful, as if there is a poem in your Han family, called the peacock to fly southeast, wandering for five miles. ”

"You know this poem, too?"

"You know, there is a family in our tribe that escaped decades ago because of your Han family's war 1uan, and their father and son taught the children of our tribe many words. It's a pity that this time, his family was also killed by Shunbe. When the princess said this, her face was sentimental, and then she said: "The subjects have also heard your poems the prince. A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, and Yan Ran has no plan. Qiang Guan is full of frost, people are sleepless, and General Bai Zhengfu is in tears. Very well written. I can also play the Qiang flute. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you want to hear it? ”

"Please blow." Li Wei sat casually on a rock.

In fact, all the way forward, Li Wei is very popular with the military. The training was harsh, but the prince was also training, and with the injured, he immediately asked long and short questions. Because the prince leads by example, the conduct of several accompanying generals is also good, and there is no phenomenon of greedy ink supply, and it is evenly distributed. In particular, the recruited soldiers themselves are some warriors of a small number of tribes, and Li Wei treats them equally. So the soldiers trained hard, but they were very happy.

The girl took out a flute from the carriage and blew it.

The shape of the flute is not quite the same as that of the Central Plains, and the syllables that are blown out are also different. Whether it is a flute or piccolo in the Central Plains, the sound quality is very melodious, but the sound quality of the Qiang flute is very pathetic. The flute whined for a while and then stopped. Blowing is not very good, average.

The girl also knew and said, "Prince, it's ugly." ”

"It's stronger than Lonely, and Lone can't blow."

"Where, the poems written by the prince are second to none in your Han family. That's the real thing. ”

I don't understand much, I treat words as poems, Li Wei didn't break it, pointed to the injured person, and said: "Where, there are many people who write poems better than Lone in the Central Plains, but Lone is still very grateful to you sisters." ”

"Prince, you can avenge our people, our sisters are cattle and horses, and we are willing," although Miss Xiao is not very sensible, but when it comes to sadness, her eyes are also wet. But Li Wei could not promise that everything would follow the strategic arrangement. It is impossible to bring the army to the west of the iron bridge for the sake of a thousand people from the Wan Jian Department and confront the Tubo army. Of course, it is possible that Tibet is careless, or it can go west, and it must be quickly withdrawn.

I had to remain silent.

After looking at it for a while, he said to Zhu Jingze: "Although some military regulations have been broken, it is useful to stay." ”

Zhu Jing was about to speak again, and Li Wei said again: "I know that the military regulations are different, but it was only a few days, and when they arrived in Yaozhou City, they naturally let them leave the barracks." ”

As long as they don't encounter wicked people, with the medical skills of these two sisters, they probably won't starve to death.

………………………………

The army continued to go out, not very quickly, and even trained while marching. A few days later, I crossed Zhuziling, but stopped at Zhuziling. Another 5,000 soldiers are hidden here, including 2,000 soldiers recruited from Lingnan, a total of 7,000 soldiers will gather here one after another.

There were very few people who knew this news, and Li Wei took Xue Ne and a group of personal guards, quietly left the army, and went over to take a look. The army was practicing on a river valley, and after hearing about Li Wei's training method, Xue Rengui also moved over.

The old general greeted him, his body was very burly, but his head was a little white.

Because he has heard a lot about Xue Rengui, he has great respect for him. Li Wei dismounted and helped him up, said a few more words and went back.

But I didn't expect the battle to come so soon. The army continued westward, and four days later came to Mount Wumeng, because of the high terrain of the mountain, the army set up camp very early. After resting all night, it was not until the next morning, but after a short time of marching, the forward sent someone to report that a checkpoint had been set up in Changcaoling ahead for the rebel troops.

Li Wei, Pei Xingjian, and Hei Tooth Changzhi rode over to inspect. The mountain is not high, the road is not steep, but there are very tall peaks on both sides, and it is not a difficult road to walk. But on the long grass ridge, there was now an extra stone barracks, and on it stood some men with painted faces and bows and arrows in their hands.

The camp is not very strong, but it occupies the terrain, and if you want to break through, you must pay a lot of sacrifice.

Li Wei frowned and said, "Pei Shilang, we have fewer scouts. ”

"It was my negligence." I didn't expect that it was so far away from Yaozhou, and Mengjian actually set up a camp here, Pei Xingjian frowned. The sacrifice of attacking is too heavy, and it cannot be delayed if it is not attacked. Moreover, this is the territory of the barbarians, and it is also an area under the confines of the imperial court, so there is no rebellion, but the mass base is not very good. If it drags on for a long time, it doesn't count if the march time is missed, and the supply is also very difficult.

At this time, the soldiers brought the Wang sisters over, and Wang Dianzi said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I know that there is still a way to cross here. ”
