Chapter 50: The Damned Way of the World

"Kill!"

Wang Shen jumped up from the bed violently, and at the same time as his feet landed, he was already holding the snow-bright horizontal knife in his hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Get up, draw your knife, and assume a defensive stance, all in one go, smooth to the extreme.

"Ahh Suddenly, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Hurriedly stabbed down, stabilized his body, and knelt on one knee.

He began to cough violently again, until his eyes were red.

"What a terrible dream!" It took a long breath for him to refresh himself.

Just now, he had a nightmare in which he dreamed that he had fallen into an endless hell surrounded by hungry ghosts. But there was no fear in his heart, and he only waved the horizontal knife in his hand and slashed firmly at the head of his enemy.

But at this time, the vest was grabbed by a hungry ghost with a long claw, and a large stream of hot blood was marked, which was really unbearable.

Then he woke up sweating profusely.

picked up a linen towel and wiped his face, and then looked at himself in the bronze mirror on the table.

Suddenly, the person in the mirror was so unfamiliar.

In the past, Wang Shen was a twenty-seven-year-old young man, full of muscles, shiny and elastic skin, a dark face, the corners of his mouth turned upwards intentionally or unintentionally, with a professional smile.

But now I have lost a lot of weight, my skin is rough, and my face has lost its roundness, making it look angular. The smile on the corner of his mouth was gone, and his lips were pursed, revealing the strong tendon on his cheeks.

The eyebrows were still thick and black, but the once gentle eyes below were terrifying, firm and sharp, like a steel knife from the sheath.

It's only been a few days since I've been there, and I've changed dramatically, and who knows what I've been through?

He stretched out his hand again and looked at it, his palms were red and swollen, and his ten fingers had been worn out and scabbed over because of the string opening the bow.

The weather was already cold, and the back of his hands was as rough as an old farmer, and his fingernails were full of black mud, just like the earth outside.

"The yamani is up." The door was gently pushed open, and Lao Guo's right hand hung a cloth strap around his neck, and he limped in and asked.

Wang Shen carefully hung the linen towel on the nail and asked, "But is there something wrong with the eldest lady?" ”

"The eldest lady said that Yanai is a scholar, and this battle has been won a lot, and you helped to count it a few days ago, she wants to ask you how the calculation is?" Lao Guo's mood has not been high recently, and his face is sad. That night, he was caught in a fishing net by Li Yujun's scouts, and he was almost taken prisoner. This is a great shame for a cavalryman, and Xiao Ding died by the enemy's sword. Others didn't say anything, but he always felt that Xiao Ding's sacrifice had a responsibility.

Therefore, in the later battle of the raid on Li Yu's old camp, this veteran soldier of the Western Army was extremely brave and always rushed to the forefront, and because of this, he suffered more injuries than others. Up to now, he has wounds all over his body, and nothing else is enough, just take care of it for a while. Only the spear in the right arm was very troublesome, and it was directly pierced by someone. Even if you raise it well, you can't use one hand.

If you lose your right hand, how can you charge on a horse, and how can you fight on the battlefield?

In this cruel and chaotic world, no one will raise waste. If nothing else, Lao Guo will be eliminated from the well-paid cavalry battalion. As for the infantry side, it is estimated that no one will accept it.

His hometown is in Fengxiang, Shaanxi, and he is thousands of miles away from here, and he can't go back. If you leave the army, I'm afraid you won't live long.

Wang Shen looked at his appearance, felt sad in his heart, and wanted to comfort him, but when he opened his mouth, he said: "Okay, I'll go over." ”

Out of the shack, the autumn rain outside was still underground, and the whole earth was shrouded in a white mist. The mud on the ground was up to the ankles. As soon as the wind blew, people couldn't help but tighten their bodies, including Wang Shen, all of them had already changed into winter clothes.

However, Chen Lanruo's Chinese army tent was clean and warm, and as soon as the door curtain was opened, there was heat rushing to his face.

There was a stove burned and a few candles lit.

Chen Lanruo was wearing a gown and sitting cross-legged on a scarlet carpet, and two officers were listening to her.

"Yanai is here, you all go out." She waved her hand and motioned for everyone else to step back. Then he asked, "Yanai, can the number be calculated?" ”

Wang Shen was about to step forward to reply, and seeing his muddy footprints step by step, Chen Lanruo frowned: "Take off your shoes and sit next to me." ”

"Okay, okay." In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was no talk of male and female defense, and Chen Lanruo stayed with a group of martial artists in the barracks all day long, drinking spirits, dancing steel knives, and riding fast horses, she was a heroine among women. As for Wang Shen, a modern person, he does not take the so-called etiquette of the ancients to heart, or he does not have that concept at all.

It's strange to say, Chen Lanruo is a man's wife, but she is a little clean, and she is not dirty.

Wang Shen hurriedly took off his boots, knelt down beside her, picked up a book of accounts on the small table in front of her, and explained it in detail. As a so-called "successful person" in modern society, reasonable tax avoidance is the gene flowing in the blood. It's not difficult for him to have a few accounts, in fact, the cavalry army is all martial artists who only know how to fight, and Wang Shen has been honestly and unceremoniously Chen Lanruo's housekeeper these days.

"General Chen, I have counted all the seizures. There were 300 pieces of silver, 30,000 pieces of money, 3,124 pieces of silk, 4,313 pieces of linen, 60 horses, 156 pack horses, 32 mules, and 15 donkeys...... Ahem......"

"What, the injury hasn't healed yet?"

"It's almost complete." Wang Shen picked up a few tea bowls and took a sip, then said: "There are about more than a thousand armors, there are many styles, and they are chaotic, and most of them have been decayed, so they can't be counted, so they are only roughly counted. As for weapons, hehe, it's a weapon, anyway, it will be melted and reforged in the future, so I won't count it. "Most of the weapons of the thief army are hoes, pitchforks, wooden sticks and other agricultural tools, and even if there are serious knives and guns, the quality is ridiculously poor and cannot be used.

"Finally, there was grain, which amounted to 11,000 stones of wheat and millet."

Chen Lanruo looked satisfied: "The harvest is good, the father-in-law will be very happy, you continue." ”

Wang Shen: "The following is the key point, in this battle, our army beheaded a total of 2,600 people and captured 8,931 prisoners. In addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are 2,660 young and strong men who can be used as foot soldiers and laborers in the army. As for our cavalry battalion, ten men were killed in this battle, twenty-three were lightly wounded, and eleven were seriously wounded. ”

More than 2,600 were beheaded, but in fact, only four or five hundred of the enemy actually died under the lance of the cavalry commander, and the rest died from trampling on each other and being flooded, and many of the more than 8,900 people who were captured would die of their wounds.

That's how cruel war is.

At this point, the threat of the Li Yuliukou group, which threatened the new small dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty and the heavy taxation of Jianghuai, was finally lifted.

"Not bad, not bad." Chen Lanruo nodded: "At a small price, we defeated the main force of Li Yu's 20,000 Chinese army, and the thief chief gave the head, in this battle, we are majestic." My father-in-law must have already received the head of the Li thief that I sent by me on a fast horse, and in two days, Liu Guangshi will also get our good news. Wang Shen, this battle is your praise and painting, although your martial arts are not successful, but it is wonderful to make a strategy. ”

Four days had passed since the bloody battle, and on the night of the end of the battle, Chen Lanruo salted Li Yu's head with large salt particles and sent it to the rear.

Hearing her praise, Wang Shen was proud. At the beginning, he proposed in front of Li Cheng to cross the dry Hongze Lake to raid Li Yu's old camp, but in fact, he was gambling, betting that there was no water in the lake, and that it would be unexpected. Now it seems that he won the bet.

If it's a day late, this rain will make it all over.

It's dangerous, it's dangerous.

Verbally or politely: "If it weren't for General Chen and his warriors, this battle might not have been won." No matter how good the plan is, someone has to implement it, and Wang Shen doesn't dare to take credit. ”

"Don't be polite, whatever reward you want, whatever you want." Chen Lanruo waved her hand and said.

A penny is hard to kill a husband, and at this time Wang Shen found that he had nothing to do after crossing into the Southern Song Dynasty. Wherever you go in the future, you will have brass in your loins. smiled and said: "The general is really generous, can you give me some of the captured silver, it will be of some use in the future." ”

"Well, you can take as much as you can." Chen Lanruo suddenly looked lonely: "I forgot, Yanei is the ambassador of the imperial court, and after all, I have to go to the official family and Zhang Xiang to restore my life." This is a long way to Jiankang, and it does need travel money. It's been four days, if it weren't for you...... I'm dead on the battlefield...... Thank you. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and said no more.

At this time, Wang Shen remembered that no matter how much credit he made to Li Chengjun, he would have to leave. First, from the bottom of his heart, he is a little resistant to Li Cheng, the future traitor, although Li Cheng has been recruited and history has changed, he still doesn't want to be his subordinate. Second, he now has a serious background, and he is the commander of the baggage battalion of the Huaixi Army. This time he has made a great contribution, and there will definitely be a reward on the side of the court. With the name of the imperial court, it can be regarded as a step up, and many things can be started. In the future, he will definitely leave the independent portal of the Huaixi Army, but now he has to borrow the banner of Liu Guangshi. In fact, among the four generals of Zhongxing, Liu Guangshi's troops are the godsons of Zhao Gou and Zhao Laojiu. With Liu Guangshi's background in the Western Army, the Jianghuai region in the future will have the opportunity to show his strength.

After experiencing several bloody battles and realizing that this was a bloody and chaotic world, Wang Shen's original idea of going to the south to avoid the war was gone. A manly man, when he is the commander of thousands of troops, and he is in and out of the phase, he will not pass through a game in vain.

Now that I have this opportunity, I have another life, but I refuse.

The big tent suddenly fell silent, and only Chen Lanruo breathed slowly.

Wang Shen looked at it intently, but saw that she lowered her head and pretended to look at the account book in her hand, looking impatient, but her eyebrows were full of sadness.

Suddenly my heart was shocked, and I immediately realized that if I left this time, maybe I would never see her again in this life.

Yes, in ancient times, when the conditions of transportation and communication were extremely backward. Even in the balance years, many people meet and break up, and they never have the chance to meet again. Break up, that is, forever.

What's more, in such troubled times, no one knows when they will die.

In the tent, the candle shadow shook red. Today's Chen Lanruo is wearing a white shirt with a low neckline, revealing a slender neck covered with embroidery, which looks extremely tempting.

Thinking of the day when the two of them hugged each other wetly, Wang Shen's heart suddenly fluttered: This man's wife is really beautiful...... Straight lady thief, anyway, everyone will never see each other again, cherish the present!

He stretched out his hand suddenly, and before Chen Lanruo came to his senses, he pulled her into his arms.

Chen Lan wanted to reach out to block it, but touched Wang Shen's waist. Then, the mouth was covered by someone's lips.

In an instant, the two of them were completely lost, and they only hugged each other hard, as if they wanted to tie each other into their bodies.

Under the light, Chen Lanruo's face was flushed, her eyes were closed tightly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and every time she fanned it, it made people's hearts tremble.

Her lips were full and round, but not large, like ripe cherries.

"There is a day when there is no tomorrow today, this damn world!" Wang Shen muttered, his hand wantonly touching Chen Lanruo's chest.

He used to have a house and a car, and there was no shortage of women around him, but he felt that he had never been so emotional.

This feeling is very strange, like a person who has been extremely thirsty, and sees a cup of sweet spring water, without her, he will die.

Damn the world, damn the Southern Song Dynasty.

This is really the worst of times, and the best of times!

……

I don't know how long it took, Chen Lanruo pushed Wang Shen away and slapped him in the face.

"Get out, you get me out!"

Seeing Wang Shen walking out of her high-spirited figure, her tears flowed, this was the first time she shed tears in the past six months. A numb, dead heart also woke up under the watering of tears.

Outside the tent, there is no boundless rain.
