Chapter 56 The Law of Matching Men and Women
Five thousand Khitan cavalry sounds terrifying, but after all, the cavalry is used to charging on the plains, and the ability of the walled city to attack is actually not strong.
Entering this triangular prairie basin surrounded by mountains from Yangfangkou, you can only take one road through Shenchi Valley. If you want to take a detour and get in through other openings, you have to go around hundreds of miles. It is not impossible to make some simple deployments on the original site of Shenchi Pass to block the rolling Khitan iron cavalry.
He Ping's simple words appeased Li Hongji.
The two detachments then parted ways, and He Daxian returned to the Shenchi Pass of the pit father and began to organize the soldiers to establish defensive positions. Li Longji, on the other hand, returned to Taiping Villa and brought more than 200 strong men and more than 300 young and middle-aged strong women over.
This is also what He Daxian resolutely designated and requested.
The so-called combination of men and women, work is not tiring. The Tang soldiers, who were rolling on the battlefield every day and had not seen a woman for a long time, suddenly smelled the femininity that filled the valley, and immediately became as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their enthusiasm for work was unprecedentedly high.
The advantage of doing things in the grassland is that everyone can ride a horse, and the information is disseminated and people are gathered quickly. The Tang soldiers began their work at half past three in the afternoon, and just after four o'clock, the strong peasant women of Taipingzhuang came. Several timid men got together and secretly discussed which woman had a big butt, and the bold one went up directly to talk to her.
"Where is the eldest sister?"
"Huh? from Huanzhou. ”
"Really? I'm also from Huanzhou, why haven't I seen my eldest sister? ”
"I came here six years ago, when I was young."
"Yes, it's good here, and Huanzhou is now an empty city."
It is also a good thing to say that Li Hongji, a member of the party, learned Han culture, at least he inherited the kind quality of mercy and compassion in the traditional aristocratic culture of the Han nation. The last time Yelu Lihu plundered Huanzhou, a large number of refugees poured into the Triangle Plain, and it was Li Hongji who persuaded the big landlords of various villages, regardless of men, women, old and young, whether there was labor or not, to unconditionally take in thousands of refugees. If you don't want to stay, you can also help escort them to Langu County or Lanzhou.
In the hearts of many Huanzhou refugees, Master Li Hongji is a great benevolent person with a bodhisattva's heart.
The scouts outside the valley came to report that the Khitan brigade was passing through Yangfangkou in a steady stream and heading towards Ningwu Pass.
This is the arrival of the main force of the Khitans.
Ho Tai Sin didn't pay attention to it, but just asked everyone to speed up the project.
The Khitans were dominated by cavalry, and the possibility of a night attack was small. Wang Dazhui led a dozen archers to climb the mountain, and after shooting two Khitan scouts who tried to run in, no one came in again.
When the sun was about to set, the other two neighboring villages, Hubei Village and Yijing Village, also sent hundreds of people, as well as two hundred original militia cavalry.
Torches were lit in the valley of the gods.
When it was dark, the Tang army withdrew to the prairie at the mouth of the valley and set up camp to rest and sleep in preparation for the battle early tomorrow morning. Only Chen Tian was left with dozens of people to supervise hundreds of people, rushing to work overnight. Chen Tian was a bricklayer before joining the army, and he was more experienced in engineering construction, and he had fully understood the requirements of He Daxian.
This was the first time that the peasants and herdsmen in the valley had seen a fully armed army that had not driven into the nearby villages, but had set up their own tents and camped in the fields, fetched their own water and cooked their own food, and had done nothing to the local people, not even asking for money and food.
Tai Nima was moved! This is the people's army! General Zhao is really here to save us.
Nonsense, He Daxian used this place as his base to build, how could he allow his subordinates to rob the people under his banner!
It's okay to do bad things, but you have to distinguish the place! Can't mess around!
This wonderful Tang soldier doesn't have much of anything, but a lot of meat. When more than a dozen cauldrons were boiling together to cook rice, the rich aroma of meat wafted all over the mountains and valleys, attracting many yellow-faced and thin-skinned women to take advantage of the darkness to secretly leave the construction site and go to the tents of the Tang Army men who had just talked to them to beg for meat.
As for what these Tang soldiers and women would do in the tent next, He Daxian didn't care. In these years, human life is too cheap, living one day is a day, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, and strict military discipline is a luxury. Don't mess around, just don't mess around, a few disciplines and a few major attentions and the like can't be copied for the time being.
Of course, the shelf of the Zhenwu patrol envoy still has to be placed, and if the soldiers in this era don't pretend to be forced, they really won't live long.
Let the soldiers set up tents in the field, but General Zhao himself took more than a dozen cavalrymen, as well as his two exclusive girls, and returned to Taiping Villa with Li Hongji to rest.
Built halfway up the mountain, the total area is about the size of two football fields, surrounded by a stone wall more than two meters high. This kind of building structure will definitely not work to defend an army, but it is not a big problem to defend against dozens of horse thieves.
Outside the stone walls was a large slum of tattered and discarded bricks and tiles, and some horse pens and sheep pens were also mixed with the houses of the poor people, sewage flowed sideways, mosquitoes and flies flew around, and in the distance there was a sour smell of stinking ditches wafting in the wind.
At this time, probably everyone was recruited to go to Shenchi Pass to carry out projects, and there was no movement in the slums.
The house inside the stone wall is a typical Tang style building, which is basically inhabited by the immediate family members of the Li family and the maids of the family. Even at night, it looks like the red lanterns are hung heavily, carved beams and painted buildings, beautiful, it seems that this Boss Li has won the reputation of a bodhisattva-hearted and benevolent person, and at the same time, he has not scraped the oil and water of the poor poor people outside.
He Daxian was arranged in a two-entry single-family courtyard, Liu Qi and a dozen cavalry rested outside, and He Daxian and the two girls lived in the inner room.
The landlord's house is good, representing the advanced productive forces of human beings in this era and achieving a limited civilized standard of living.
He Daxian and the two little girls stripped naked, got into a big bucket together, and let the two girls rub their backs vigorously on his back. After rolling in the field for so long, everyone was dirty, and it took three buckets of hot water to wash out three buckets of black water, and the white complexion of He Daxian and the two girls reappeared in front of the world.
Don't think crooked, just take a bath, nothing else.
These two little girls are younger than the little furnace Ding he booked, they are purely virgin figures, and they are not feminine at all, where can he Daxian look at such a tasteful person! The role of these two little girls is purely to make He Daxian better pretend.
Just like he is now, just after taking a shower, the whole person is refreshed and cool, and he is full of energy. Dressed in a cyan silk scribe's robe, with a scholar's turban tied in his hair, and holding a thread-bound version of "Spring and Autumn", he sat at the large desk in the study, reading by candle and night, savoring the thoughts of the ancient masters.
Two little girls dressed in delicate maid costumes, one on one side stood on both sides of the wide Taishi chair, Min'er frowned lightly, drooped her head on the side, quietly scraping oil and adding fragrance to the fire lamp, while Cicada pulled up her green long sleeves, revealing her snow-white wrists, and helped He Daxian slowly polish the ink with a smile.
Tonight, this year, in such a comfortable and quiet environment, people completely forget the cruel war-torn world outside.
This forced pretending is so cool, He Daxian can't help but want to pinch the two small dimples on the cicada's face!
Of course, if there is no audience when pretending, it will be boring for a long time.
At this time, Boss Li's housekeeper Steward Li came to deliver supper to General Zhao.
Supper is very simple, just a bowl of porridge and two white buns.
Seeing the food, He Daxian suddenly thought of the statement of what desire was full of warmth, it was too correct, mortals really needed this, no wonder this Zhao Ergou's body suddenly became a little impetuous.
So, He Daxian, who was usually dignified, suddenly looked left and right with a thief's eyebrows, approached Steward Li's side, and asked quietly:
"Steward Li, General Ben has been eating too much horse meat recently, and he is a little impetuous, dare to ask if there is a woman to sleep?"
Coincidentally, as soon as this sentence came out, someone outside the door rushed in without knocking on the door, and heard this sentence in its entirety.
It is Li Siping, the eldest lady of Taiping Villa!
drove away the housekeeper and closed the door with his backhand, Li Siping, who was originally frosty, suddenly changed her expression and walked into He Daxian with a smile on her face, with a charming and seductive face, and her soft thin waist was twisted.
"The general wants a woman to sleep tonight?"
