Chapter 7 - Logging
After waiting for a while, the news finally came back, and the old doctor Sun couldn't wait to take the iron scroll thinner than his little finger, open the lid, and use an iron needle to take out the paper scroll hidden inside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info opened the paper roll and looked at it several times, and the old doctor Sun took a sip and handed the note to Mr. Qian. After reading the general manager, Qian got up directly and came to the outside of the tent and ordered loudly: "Order the soldiers to disarm their combat readiness and start resting." The brothers who are on duty on the city wall today should be hard first, and they will be fine after surviving today! ”
There is no fighting today, the entire Weibei camp is quiet, and the soldiers are resting. In the wounded barracks, Li Deyi was sweating profusely learning to write, his mouth was pursed, and he was holding Taizu's hard charcoal pen tightly in his hand, copying them one by one, and the little Liu medical officer next to him came over from time to time to mention it. "It's so hard to read, I don't sweat so much when I practice knives." After writing an article easily, Li De took a long breath and couldn't help but sigh. "The sword technique can only deal with ordinary people, if you want to take revenge, you must practice qi, how can you read through the classics of imperial qi if you are illiterate, do you want others to read it for you? Don't complain here, if you have this kung fu, hurry up and practice the next article! Doctor Liu couldn't help but give Li Deyi's head a look, hoping to wake up this kid who complained from time to time that it was too difficult to read.
Touching the sweat on his forehead, Li Deyi buried his head and continued to practice hard. was practicing hard, and suddenly Li Deyi felt that the whole tent was dark, and when he looked up, he found that it was cloudy outside. Seeing the cloudy day, Medical Officer Xiao Liu reached out and took out a jar of medicinal wine from the box, and said to Li Deyi: "It's cloudy and raining, Master's old injury is about to attack again, I'll go to Master to give medicine to his old man, you can rest for a while." After speaking, he didn't care about Li Deyi, and ran directly towards the staff camp. As soon as Dr. Liu left, Li De patted himself on the head, and sighed: "The bandages and sheets that I dried out in the morning haven't been taken back yet, so I have to hurry up and collect them," as soon as Li De went out, he saw that there were already soldiers running back and forth outside, busy collecting armor, covering the carriages and horses, tents, and wooden wedges that fixed the military tents with straw felt to prevent them from being blown down by the wind. Although it is busy, it is not chaotic, and everything is in charge of a special soldier, which seems to be in order.
The rain has begun to take shape, and the autumn rain in the north is exceptionally cool, and the rain of beans directly penetrates Li De's thin coat, and falls on his body with a cold air. Li De shivered while busy collecting bandages and sheets.
After hurriedly collecting it, Li Deyi hurriedly ran into the tent, and after such a short while, his whole body was soaked by the rain. Li Deyi put the things down with a shudder, and hurriedly lit a fire with trembling hands. The warm flame temporarily drove away the cold brought by the autumn rain, and with a sneeze, Li Deyi began to worry about the soldiers who went to the grassland to grab sheep, hoping that they would return safely. Thinking of going into the woods tonight to open the way, Li Deyi couldn't help but feel a little big. Li Deyi thought worriedly, "It's raining so heavily during the day, it's very likely that the rain won't stop at night, and it will be even colder when the time comes." Frowning, the tragic death of the third grandfather, his father was conscripted and never returned, and the scenes came into my mind, all because of the damn Tuliao people fighting the grass valley. Thinking of this, Li Deyi encouraged himself: "No matter how cold it is, you have to listen to Grandpa Sun, continue to practice swordsmanship tonight." The ten-year-old secretly gritted his teeth and was ruthless.
Li Deyi was cheering himself up, Brother Liu helped Grandpa Sun back, Li Deyi quickly stood up and helped Grandpa Sun to lie down on the bed. Old Doctor Sun exhaled: "Hey, when Dashuai Di beat the Liao people, in the end, he fought too badly, and even we, the staff officers, who had a little ability, were sent up with knives." That's when I was seriously injured, and I was finally saved by your third grandfather. Sighing, Old Doctor Sun grabbed Li Deyi's little hand with his hand and said, "Child, remember, knowledge and qi training are not good enough!" Your grandfather and I thought that it was enough to be knowledgeable because I was not good at practicing qi back then, but I was powerless to protect myself at the critical moment. Your third grandfather was very powerful in the war back then, but he didn't work his knowledge much. Li Youshui is illiterate, and he recognizes his name together, but he doesn't recognize it when he is separated. After the war, I realized that I was not capable enough, so I tried my best to cultivate the original qi, but unfortunately I was already seriously injured at that time, and I injured the meridians, and it was difficult for me to enter the transcendent realm for the rest of my life. Take this lesson to heart. Li De nodded again and again and agreed: "I must work hard to recognize words, and if I recognize the words, I will practice my qi well." I still work hard to practice my sword skills every day, Grandpa Sun, don't worry. After the old doctor Sun finished speaking, he went to the inner room and fell asleep.
"Brother Xiao Liu, I still have a few words to remember, you can teach them again." Li Deyi called out to Doctor Liu in a low voice. The two of them continued to teach quietly on the side.
Li Deyi practiced calligraphy for an afternoon according to the words taught by Dr. Xiao Liu, and his stomach began to growl. "I'm a little hungry." Li Deyi blushed and whispered. Dr. Xiao Liu raised his head to see that it was already dark, and said, "It's time to eat, you rest first, and I'll go get some food and come back." ”
After a while, Doctor Liu took back the food for the two, and Li Deyi ate a bowl of choppy soup, ate two cakes, and was full. Li De wiped his mouth and said, "I'm full, what should Grandpa Sun do?" Doctor Xiao Liu listened intently to the movement outside the tent and said, "Listen, it's the assembly number, you hurry up and go to the school to gather, Master and I will take care of it." "I'm going." Li Deyi was full of food at this time, and he walked energetically, so he went straight to the school. He didn't know that the ordinary soldiers of the Weibei battalion had only bread and pickles for a meal, and they could add a bowl of oily soup, and his bowl of soup with haggis was personally ordered by the old medical officer Sun to prepare Wang Zhuangbiao.
By this time it was already dark, and the rain had lightened. Mr. Qian Zheng stood on the high platform and shouted to Minzhuang: "Let the big guy brave the rain to rush to work tonight, it is also an urgent military situation, and there is no delay." We urgently need big wood to make equipment, in case the Tuliao people attack again. I have thanked you all in advance. As he spoke, Qian put his legs together, raised his chest and raised his hands, and gave a military salute. The 100th Minzhuang below stood quietly with expressionless faces. Mr. Qian immediately said: "In addition, those who enter the forest tonight will be given two cakes per person, and when they come back at dawn, each person will still have a bowl of mutton soup to ward off the cold!" One person below was given a rain shelter coat. When the people at the bottom heard that they had clothes to wear and two extra cakes, they immediately became enthusiastic, and they praised Qian for always being a good person.
Li De thought to himself: "It's always good to have money, and you can work in the rain and give more cakes." At my father's time, the work of recruiting people in the army was often done in vain, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you would be beaten. The money manager continued on the platform and ordered: "It is raining heavily today, the forest is slippery, and it is difficult to light the torches, so I will work in pairs tonight, so that no one will be separated again." ”
The group was divided, and the tree-cutting team drove out of the city gate under the leadership of the general manager. When they arrived at the edge of the forest, the thirty or fifty soldiers brought by the big fat man were already waiting, escorting the people all the way into the forest.
Wang Zhuangbiao looked at the people and didn't pay attention, wandered to Li Deyi's side, stretched out his hand and stuffed a piece of dried meat, "When you are growing your body, you can't be hungry, and you can eat when you are hungry at night." Without waiting for Li Deyi to say thank you, he turned around and walked away. Li De opened his mouth, the person had already walked away, and the words "thank you" only gently exhaled behind Wang Zhuangbiao's back.
A shelter was erected in the woods with a few torches. With the faint light of this torch, Li Deyi practiced the knife technique taught by the third grandfather vigorously, and regarded each tree as a Tuliao person, and cut it with his life.
"Little brother, slow down, be careful to get over the injury. It's so cold, it's raining, you're sweating so much, you're getting too much cold, be careful of the cold. Min Zhuang, who worked with Li Deyi tonight, couldn't help but persuade him when he saw him working so hard. Hearing "Be careful of the wind and cold" Li Deyi remembered that his mother had a wind cold and died, so he slowly stopped his hand, turned his head and looked at the uncle of the partner, "Thank you for persuading, my name is Li Deyi, uncle, what are you called?" "Thank you, I'm Zhao San'er. Little brother, I think you're practicing knives, and the guy in your hand is good. ”
"If you don't practice well, you can make your uncle laugh." Li Deyi blushed a little, but fortunately it was dark tonight and he couldn't see clearly. "Whether I practice well or not, I don't know. It's just to see that you don't forget to practice knives when you work at night, and I think you are really motivated. Li Deyi smiled embarrassedly and didn't answer. Zhao San said to himself: "If that kid in my family had a little brother, you would be half motivated, just mess around all day long, and you don't look good." I think you're so motivated, little brother, you will definitely be able to be a big official in the future, haha. "The biggest official Li Deyi has ever seen in this kung fu is that Cao Qianzong, thinking of his bear-like, Li Deyi suddenly felt that he was not very good at being a big official, so he silently did not speak.
Unexpectedly, this Third Brother Zhao is a self-acquaintance, touched Li De's arm, and whispered: "I have been a merchant in the county before, and I have also been to the provincial capital and seen the world. Once I went to Hexi, passing by Deyue Tower, you know Deyue Tower? "I don't know." "That's the best restaurant on the ground in our northwest, with three floors on the ground, very high. I heard the second child of the restaurant say that once Taishi Cai passed by and ordered a dish at a meal in Deyue Building, asking for a hundred quail tongues. Li Deyi smacked his tongue when he heard this, "With so many tongues, what should those quails do?" Zhao San pouted: "Throw it to the next person to eat, that Xiao Er said that after Taishi Cai left, he even ate quails for a month, and then he got tired of it." Li Deyi couldn't believe it when he heard this: "Can you still get tired of eating quails?" I can eat one meal, and I can eat one meal. ”
"As soon as you heard this, little brother, you just haven't eaten it, so you don't understand." Zhao San touched a handful of spittle stars, and then pulled it up: "I heard that those big officials have braised pork at every meal, and the white buns are enough to eat." Otherwise, you see that they all have a big belly, if they don't eat too much oil and water, how can they grow a belly? Speaking of this, Zhao San couldn't help but touch his saliva first, "I also heard that there is a big official who eats a chicken every day, obediently, my family is reluctant to eat a chicken all year round, and they are waiting for eggs to be exchanged for some salt, how can I be willing to eat it." Chicken is eaten every day, what does it taste like? Zhao San raised his head and looked at the sky, snorting. Li Deyi was also drooling when this third brother Zhao said, "You ask me, I don't know." "Little brother, I see that you are so motivated, you will definitely be able to become a big official in the future, maybe you can live a day with a chicken, and a meal of braised pork and white buns is enough to eat." Don't forget to tell your brother what it's like. Zhao San looked at Li Deyi with expectant eyes, but unfortunately it was dark at this time, and Li Deyi didn't notice it.
"I'll remember, I'll tell you what it's like when the time comes." Li Deyi's gluttony was also hooked, and he thought to himself, "If I become a big official in the future, I will definitely eat braised pork and a chicken every day!" That's right, just eat it with white buns! Enough! Grandpa Sun said that if you want to be productive in the future, you must practice hard now. "I opened my stance and practiced hard against a tree again.
This night, Li Deyi had a very fulfilling life, and the old medical officer Sun was not idle, analyzing the information brought back by the flying eagle in the camp tent. The more the old man looked at it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but scold, "The Tuliao people really broke through the Remnant Yang Pass and surrounded the Jingshi." Di Dashuai, you have a spirit in the sky, see how this group of loyal ministers of the court who forced you to death back then ended! You have only been gone for fifteen years, and the soldiers of the world have been eroded to this point. The loyal ministers of the court in the capital sang songs every night, sang about the peace, squeezed out the generals, intrigued, and fought for power and profit. Peace, where is there peace! The more Dr. Sun spoke, the more angry he became, and with a snap, he directly broke off a corner of the bookcase made of hardwood, and Dr. Liu stood quietly beside him, pursed his lips, and didn't speak, but there was a hint of joy in his expression. Xiao Liu, sit down, tell me how serious the situation will be this time? Old Medical Officer Sun poured out this evil fire, breathed a long sigh of relief, waved his hand, and beckoned his apprentice.
Doctor Xiao Liu moved a chair and sat down, and said with a sigh of relief: "Today's emperor relies on the support of Wenchen, so he has to become a great treasure, and he has not studied in a military academy, let alone on the battlefield, which is not in line with the ancestral teachings left by Taizu." After ascending the throne, in order to stabilize the throne, he rejected military generals and reused civil servants. Dashuai was also excluded by Wenchen because of this, and finally died of depression. Our dynasty has always divided the civil and military forces, and did not interfere with each other, which is the custom founded by Taizu. After ascending the throne today, he broke this example and used Wenchen to dominate the border towns. The successive governors of the border passes appointed by him have made no achievements in their tenure, and they only know how to play the role of a pen to exclude dissidents, install cronies, intrigue with each other, compete for power and profit, and lie about military exploits. In recent years, our army has been completely corrupted, and the defense strategy of the border army that Marshal Di has worked hard to build has been completely destroyed. Now in the border army, except for the only 1,000 remaining brothers in our Weibei battalion, the other battalions can be said to have no combat power at all. This time, the Tuliao people entered the Kou, drove all the way in, and besieged the Beijing division in less than a month, which is proof. ”
"Well, that's a good point, go on." Old Medical Officer Sun nodded. "This time Zhongshen City was besieged, there is no other way now, I estimate that in the end I have to issue an edict to summon all the military kings. King Qin's order, listening to the majesty, but it is useless. Doctor Xiao Liu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "You, you're still vigorous." Old Doctor Sun pointed to his apprentice and shook his head. Master, didn't you just break the bookcase? "You, you...... Hahahaha" Old Medical Officer Sun was angry with his apprentice.
Medical Officer Xiao Liu continued: "Over the years, the armies have been almost ruined by civilian officials, even if there are more soldiers and horses in King Qin, I am afraid they are not the opponents of the Tuliao people." I estimate that there will be a big defeat under the Zhongshen City! Old Doctor Sun's expression suddenly became grim, "You mean?!" "Yes, I am already weak today, but now that the soldiers are coming to the city, and King Qin's army is defeated again, I will definitely endure humiliation and ask for peace." Medical Officer Xiao Liu swore and analyzed. Old Medical Officer Sun couldn't help but pull his beard and said, "In this way, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos." Hey, if it's really a long time together, it will be divided, and it will be together for a long time. ”
"Taizu explained as early as in his testament, 'His descendants will not cede land, pay tribute, do not make peace, and do not call ministers, the Son of Heaven will guard the country, and the king will die. If this discipline is violated, heroes from all walks of life can rise up and cut down the unreasonable.' Once His Majesty agrees to this alliance under the city, then the heroes of all walks of life in the world will inevitably rub their hands and move when they hear the wind, this is the crusade against the unenlightened monarch that Taizu explained in his testament, as the so-called division is famous, and it is clear and righteous! After a sentence, Doctor Xiao Liu said very clearly.
Old Medical Officer Sun shook his head and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this is a glass of wine, drink it to quench your thirst, not to be full temporarily, but also to die." Your Majesty...... You're going to have to drink it again! I don't know how to face the ancestors and ancestors under your nine springs in the future, I inherited the 600-year inheritance of the Zhou Dynasty, and once it was destroyed in your hands! Speaking of this, the old doctor Sun couldn't help but cry silently, his eyes were blank, and he sat on the chair.
In the middle of the ring, the old medical officer Sun suddenly sat up in shock and cried: "Dashuai Di, you open your eyes under the nine springs, and watch how this faint monarch has defeated the foundation of the past six hundred years, and how this loyal and capable minister of the Manchu Dynasty bows to the Tuliao people. Di Dashuai, I'm incompetent, there are only a few thousand people left in the Weibei camp now. Seeing that the world is in danger and the people are about to fall into a sea of fire, I can't do anything, and I can't do anything. Old Doctor Sun raised his head, his sideburns were already scattered. The old man pulled down the crown of hair on his head, put his hair on his head, and shouted to his apprentice: "Bring the wine, the old man will get drunk tonight, you accompany the old man to have a good drink!" ”
In the woods outside the city, Li Deyi, who was busy practicing his knife with a tree, suddenly felt that the weather had become colder, the rain was falling more urgently, and there was still thunder faintly in the distance.
Wang Zhuangbiao, who was in charge of the guards, said in a low voice: "On this day, I'm afraid it's going to change." Mr. Qian also said worriedly, "I don't know how long it will take for the Tuliao people to come to fight the grass valley this time, and in the end, it is always the common people and those of us who are the big soldiers who are unlucky." ”
Li Deyi touched the sweat on his forehead and continued to exert himself against the tree, when he suddenly heard someone in the forest shouting, "Who is it?!" Come out, don't be sneaky! ”
