267. Chapter 45
It turned out that Yamazaki Osa had suffered from tuberculosis when he was a child, and he often coughed up blood, and there was no cure for it, and it was difficult to live past the age of twenty, but he was the only male member of the Yamazaki family, and the people in the clan ran around looking for good medicine. At that time, one of his uncles was doing business in Harbin and asked an old Chinese medicine doctor for medicine, and the old Chinese medicine doctor told his uncle that there was no cure for tuberculosis, but if he gave up whole grains every day and switched to spinach, maybe a miracle would happen. In the family, I asked for a lot of good medicine, but none of it worked, in a desperate situation, Yamazaki switched to eating spinach for three meals, and it was strange to say that in just three days, Yamazaki didn't cough up blood. The parents were happy, and the people in the clan were also happy, and they made a few large tables of delicacies and seafood to celebrate. However, Yamazaki stopped eating spinach for a day and began to vomit blood again, and the family learned that spinach would become his staple food, and over time, his lungs turned green. When Yamazaki was twenty years old, he wanted to vomit when he saw spinach, so he secretly stopped eating it for a few days, but this time he didn't vomit blood, and he knew that tuberculosis had been completely cured. At that time, everyone in the clan was grateful to the old Chinese medicine doctor, and the old patriarch Zunzun warned him: "Your life is given by the Chinese, and you must always treat the Chinese as friends." However, more than twenty years later, Yamazaki came to China under the influence of militarist ideas, wantonly killing, and long forgot that his life was given by the Chinese.
A lieutenant of the wing saw Yamazaki Daisa's body shaking, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, saying, "Your Excellency, please calm your anger." Yamazaki Osa pushed the lieutenant away and said, "Immediately send a report to Wu Yueting, ask him to run to Nanzhuang in the starry night, and tell him that if Nanzhuang is lost, I want his head." He opened his mouth and vomited three mouthfuls of blood, knowing that he was angry, he touched the root of the disease, gasped for a while, and said: "Matsui-kun, you have been here for a long time, do you know that the villagers grow spinach?" ”
Matsui didn't understand what Yamazaki meant by this, and said, "The seeds of the autumn spinach have just been sown, and it will take half a month for the seedlings to emerge, I don't know what His Excellency Osa wants?" Yamazaki Osa coughed a few times, stroked his chest with his hand, did not answer Matsui's question, and said, "Withdraw the troops and return to Qinglong Town." ”
The combat staff officer of the wing followed Yamazaki Dazuo and said, "Your Excellency, is the First Division of the Imperial Allied Army still going to continue to besiege Liantai Mountain?" Yamazaki wiped the blood from his mouth and head with his sleeve, and said: "Liu Hui's main force has been transferred, and there is no point in surrounding it any longer, send a report to Qian Dongshen, and ask him to pull the troops to the west edge of the big sloping ditch before dark tomorrow, build fortifications and fortresses, and beware of Liu Hui's westward escape." Looking up at the night sky, he muttered in his heart: "Spinach can save my life, but I have to wait for half a month, can I survive?" He couldn't know, so he found a wicker and poured all his worries about his body and his hatred for Liu Hui on the soldiers, but when he heard the crackling sound, the beaten soldiers grinned and marched with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
At this moment, in the distant mountains, Dong Hao sat by the fire, holding a silver wine jug in his left hand, holding a roasted wolf leg in his right hand, squinting a pair of drunken eyes, and said: "Master Wu, alcohol, delicacies, only beautiful women are missing!" This sentence aroused Wu Yueting's thoughts about Liu Ling, sighed, and the few nights that were turbid into the marrow came to his mind, the delicate laughter, and the ...... Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, which made him wake up from his memories, and when he turned around, he saw that it was an operational staff officer of the division headquarters, and he was displeased, and said: "In the middle of the night, what are you running blindly?" The staff officer stopped beside him and said breathlessly, "Yamazaki Daisa is calling." ”
Wu Yueting glanced at Dong Hao and Zhang Jin, and said, "Read." The staff officer read: "Commander Wu, Liu Hui is leading people to attack Nanzhuang, you received the telegram, immediately lead your subordinates to help, if Nanzhuang fails, I will punish you with the most severe military law of the imperial soldiers." ”
Dong Hao put down the wine jug and scolded: "This Yamazaki really has a pig's head, he asked us to gallop to help Nanzhuang, turning left and right, at least more than 100 miles, even if he rushes over, his mother's cucumber vegetables are cold." Wu Yueting had already woken up most of the time, and when he thought of Yamazaki's Hades face, he was so scared that he hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't be wordy, set off immediately." Zhang Jin knew in his heart that if Division Commander Wu was punished by military law, it would be difficult for him to stay out of the matter, so he threw away the meat in his hand at the moment and ordered Guan Rongtian and Zhang Dashan to gather the team.
The mountain road was rugged, Wu Yueting walked to Tianming, and when he saw that he had only walked forty or fifty miles, he couldn't help but be worried, he was worried about being punished, and said tremblingly: "No...... Zhinanzhuang is lost...... Yes? Zhang Jin has been nervous all the way, and after walking for a few miles, he will pray in his heart: "All the gods bless you, bless Nanzhuang safe." When he saw that the division commander had no confidence in asking, he said: "Division Commander Wu, I asked the staff officer to send a report to ask Yamazaki Daisa, what do you think?" ”
Wu Yueting said with a bitter face: "Forget it, it's dawn, let's hurry up." Seeing Qinglong Town, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, asked for a telescope from the guards, only glanced at it, and said, "Oops, Qinglong Town has been attacked." "Drop the binoculars and run away. Dong Hao shouted: "Guards, protect the division commander." ”
Wu Yueting ran into Qinglong Town, saw that there was a dead silence in the town, his heart was cold, and he shouted: "Commander Guan, you go and see the situation in the barracks." Camp Commander Zhang, follow me. He thought about his family, turned left and right, and when he ran to the door of the house and saw the tightly closed door, the hanging heart was put down. He scurried up the steps in a few arrows, slammed the door with a wave of his hand, and kept shouting, "Open the door, open the door......"
The gate parted to both sides, and when the housekeeper saw Wu Yueting, his face immediately turned happy, and he said, "Master, you can come back." Master Wu asked, "Are you okay with Madame, Young Son, and Miss?" The housekeeper said, "It's all good, it's all good." Madame walked out of the door of the upper house, Lianbu staggered, came over and said, "Yue Ting, I finally hope you back." Last night, the guns rang out incessantly, and people were scared to death. Wu Yueting comforted his wife and asked, "Housekeeper, who did it?" The housekeeper said: "The three heroines of the rivers and lakes, the leader is called Liu Hui." Wu Yueting asked again, "How many people did Liu Hui bring?" The housekeeper said, "That's a lot!" There is not a thousand, there are eight hundred. "He didn't see it with his own eyes, and what he knew was all from the mouths of the people in the town who didn't flee.
Wu Yueting didn't dare to stay at home for too long, so he led people to the barracks. On the way, he thought as he walked: "I listened to Dong Hao's words and let Liu Hui take advantage of the loophole, if this is known to Yamazaki Taijun, how can it be good?" Liu Hui took Qinglong Town, why didn't he move my family? Doesn't she know that my family lives here? He knew that Liu Huiru ignored Wu Wenyong and Wu Yan's feelings, and his ten homes were also destroyed. Turning a street, Dong Hao led people to meet him, and as soon as they met, he said: "Commander Wu, the barracks were destroyed by fire, all the food was burned, and none of the imperial troops living in the barracks survived. Also, the Imperial Army guarding the arsenal was all killed, and the arms were looted. ”
