Luo Shixin's injury caused a slight commotion in the Sui army, but with the killing of Pei Xingyan's cavalry, the Xia army of Qilipo suddenly collapsed, and someone had already opened the south gate, and 20,000 Xia troops fled in swarms, rushing down the hill and running in all directions in the wilderness to flee for their lives.

The Sui army pursued and killed all the way, until Dou Jiande sent the general Cao Zhan to lead 20,000 troops to respond, and the Sui army slowly retreated and occupied Qilipo.

In the big tent, a military doctor pulled out an arrow from Luo Shixin's arm with pliers, and a piece of meat was also hooked out, making Luo Shixin tremble in pain.

The military doctor said with a smile while giving him medicine to bandage his wounds: "This arrow is shot extremely accurately, from the gap between the shoulder armor and the gauntlet, but it may be due to the long distance, the strength is not large, it does not hurt the bones, and it is not poisonous, and it can be healed after half a month of rest." ”

Luo Shixin saw that a female guard next to him was about to take away the arrows, and hurriedly said, "Leave the arrows!" ”

He took the arrow from the female guard, but unexpectedly found that there were words engraved on the shaft of the arrow, and he was slightly stunned in his heart.

'That female general's surname'Dou,' , Luo Shi secretly thought in his confidence, 'I don't know what the relationship between her and Dou Jiande is?' ，

There was no trace of her among the prisoners of war or the corpses of the enemy, and she should have escaped, and Luo Shi secretly hated that he had been injured by a woman, and in any case, no one else could know about it.

Luo Shixin was most worried that he would lose the opportunity to go to the battlefield because of this, so he hurriedly said to the military doctor: "Doctor Li, my arrow wound only hurts a little flesh and skin, where to rest for more than ten days, two or three days." ”

The military doctor understood his thoughts and smiled slightly: "The key is that this arrow is not poisonous, nor does it hurt muscles and bones, and it will not form arrow sores, but two or three days is still too short, at least ten days." ”

"General, the chief is here!" Outside the tent came the report of the soldiers.

Luo Shixin hurriedly put the arrow aside and whispered to the military doctor: "Don't say it for more than ten days!" ”

The military doctor smiled bitterly and shook his head, the curtain was lifted, and Yang Yuanqing walked in.

"It seems that the complexion is not bad!" Yang Yuanqing looked at him carefully and said with a smile.

The military doctor next to him smiled: "There is not much blood loss, and General Luo is physically strong, so there is no big problem." ”

Luo Shi was confident and grateful to the military doctor, he shook his arm and said triumphantly: "The arrow only hurt the flesh, a little wound, like a mosquito bite, the military doctor said, rest for two or three days." ”

The face of the military doctor next to him turned white, when did he say that he could recuperate for two or three days, but he didn't dare to stay any longer, and vaguely said that he needed to recuperate for a few days, so he retired.

Where would Yang Yuanqing believe Luo Shixin's words, how could it be that it only takes two or three days, even if it is the most ordinary arrow wound, it needs to recuperate for half a month.

"You kid don't be reckless, I know in my heart, this time you take Qilipo, I will remember your first merit, you don't want to compete with others anymore, leave the opportunity to others, recuperate, don't make a hidden injury on your arm, you should understand what I mean."

Yang Yuanqing is Luo Shixin's senior brother, he didn't dare not listen to Luo Shixin, and the martial arts of the two are in the same line, Yang Yuanqing knows very well Zhang Xutuo's thirteen-style knife technique, the key is the use of strength, if the arm is injured, the subtlety of the power will not be brought into play.

Luo Shi also understood this in his confidence, and he also had a trace of worry in his heart, lowered his head, and did not dare to argue again.

Yang Yuanqing patted him lightly on the shoulder. He said earnestly: "Leave more energy to deal with Li Mi, that is the real enemy of you and me." ”

Luo Shixin nodded silently, Yang Yuanqing remembered something again, and said with a smile: "Yesterday I received a letter from home, the princess said that she wanted to introduce you to a family affair, she is the daughter of Taichang Shaoqing Xue Shu, who is seventeen years old, knowledgeable and reasonable, and has good looks and talents, how about it, go back and see you?" ”

Luo Shixin shook his head, "A talented man is a beautiful woman, I am not a talented man, I am not suitable for her, please tell the princess in charge, thank her for her kindness, I don't want to consider it for the time being." ”

"You should think about it, you are twenty-four years old, you can't always live in memories, a big husband can't be without a wife, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your deceased father and grandfather, and continue the cigarette for the Luo family."

Luo Shixin lowered his head and said for a while: "Let me think about it again!" ”

"Good! I'm waiting for your news, but you can't delay, even if you don't agree, say it early, don't delay people. ”

Yang Yuanqing said a few more words, then turned around and went out, Yang Yuanqing just left, but Cheng Biting Jin sneaked in.

"Boy, I heard that you left the peach blossom luck?" Cheng Yanjin smiled ambiguously.

"What nonsense are you talking about, what peach blossom luck!"

Luo Shixin said angrily: "You think I'm like you, there is a lady at home who still walks around the Qinglou all day long, and you can't live without a woman." ”

"Go! If I say one sentence, you will come up with ten. ”

Cheng Biting Jin used to have a very good relationship with Luo Shixin in Licheng County, every time Cheng Biting Jin was punished by Zhang Xutuo, Luo Shixin went to intercede, although Cheng Biting Jin was very popular, but he and Luo Shixin had a real friendship.

Cheng Yanjin blinked, and said with a smile: "I heard that your kid was actually shot by a woman, and for the first time in his life, he was injured by a woman, and it was planted in a woman's hand, which is really interesting." ”

Luo Shixin was taken aback, he hid this matter very strictly, and he didn't even know about Pei Xingyan, how could Cheng Yanjin know?

"Who are you listening to, how can you be shot by a woman on the battlefield? It's ridiculous!

"You kid still want to hide it from me, what is the relationship between your soldiers and me?"

Cheng bit Jin pouted, swept his eyes, and saw the arrow on the table, his eyes were very poisonous, and he saw the words engraved on the arrow shaft at a glance, he took the arrow with his middle hand and looked at it, hehe laughed, "Dou Xianniang, it is estimated that it is Dou Jiande's daughter!" can shoot arrows at a hundred paces, this woman is not simple! ”

Luo Shixin's face couldn't hold back, he was a little annoyed and angry, and snatched the arrow, "Get out!" Get out! You are not welcome here. ”

Cheng Biting Jin put his hands behind his back and squinted at the top of the tent, "That's good!" I'm going to talk to someone, I have a big mouth, you know, maybe everybody will come to sympathize with you tonight. ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, but the corner of his eye swept to Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin had no choice but to give in, "Okay!" I admit that it was shot by a woman, and I begged the fourth brother to keep it a secret for me. ”

Among the generals under Zhang Xutuo that year, Qin Qiong was the first general, Jia Wuben was the second general, Niu Jinda was the third general, and Cheng Yanjin was the fourth, so Luo Shixin always called him the fourth brother.

Cheng bit Jin turned around suddenly, and a smile bloomed on his face, "Oops! Being injured by a woman, that's not good for the passing years! You have to break the bank to avoid disasters, don't you say? ”

Luo Shixin understood what he meant, so he had to sigh secretly and stretched out five fingers, "Five hundred taels of silver, you shut up for me." ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled slyly, "Where is your kid's reputation worth five hundred taels, at least eight hundred taels." ”

Luo Shixin said hatefully: "It's just five hundred taels, if you dare to ask for an extra penny, I will tell my sister-in-law about your visit to the Qinglou." ”

"You guy, why don't you care about brotherhood at all, okay! Five hundred is five hundred. ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled and took out a piece of red cloth and handed it to him, "This is what I prepared for you." ”

Luo Shixin was taken aback, "What is this for?" ”

Cheng Yanjin's eyes widened, and he looked at Luo Shixin incredulously, as if Luo Shixin was a new soldier who had just joined the army, he sighed regretfully, "Being injured by a woman, that's not an auspicious thing, tie it around your waist, it will take at least a year, this is the rule on the battlefield, you don't know?" ”

Luo Shixin had never heard of this kind of thing, but he was uncomfortable by Cheng Yanjin's exaggerated gaze, and took the red cloth suspiciously, "Is there really such a statement?" ”

Cheng Yanjin pursed his lips disdainfully, "You kid don't understand, right?" No one will say this kind of thing, but everyone understands in their hearts that the old man has passed it down, you listen to me, stick to the meat and tie it, except for bathing, the rest can't be taken down, and it will take at least a year to get rid of the bad luck. ”

"I see, go ahead!"

Cheng Biting Jin extorted five hundred taels of silver, and left satisfied, Luo Shixin sat for a long time with the red cloth, shook his head with a wry smile, and threw it aside, but his hand inadvertently touched the arrow, he picked up the arrow and looked at it carefully.

On the shaft of the arrow, the three words were extremely clear, and the impression of the woman appeared in his mind again, the eyes full of murderous intent and extremely bright, so bright that he could not forget, as if a deep trace was engraved in his heart.

In the big tent, Yang Yuanqing connected to two urgent bulletins, and Li Shimin led 100,000 Tang troops from Shangluo County to Wuguan and launched an attack on Nanyang Zhu Jie.

And the second express is an urgent call for help sent by Xiao Milling, Nanyang Zhu Wei was defeated by the Tang army in a battle, Zhu Wei fled to Li Mi, Li Shimin's army did not stop, continued to march in the direction of Xiangyang, Bashu also appeared a large-scale army movement, the army of the Western Liang State was pinned down by Lin Shihong's army in Yuzhang County, unable to fight on two fronts, and begged for assistance from the Sui Dynasty.

"As expected!"

Li Jing sighed, "The Tang Dynasty still seized the opportunity of us being pinned down in Hebei and attacked to the south, if my expectations are not wrong, the Tang army will also send troops to Yiling, and attack from both sides, this time Xiao Mo is really dangerous." ”

These two pieces of information made Yang Yuanqing's heart a little heavy, he walked a few steps in the big tent with his hands behind his back, and now the Sui army is facing off against Dou Jiande's army, and he can't support Xiao Miao.

Yang Yuanqing was a little helpless, "I hope Xiao Mo can last for a month, maybe I can still support him, if he can't hold on, I can't help him." ”

Li Jing pondered for a moment and said: "It is estimated that they will be difficult to support in a month, although Xiao Mill claims to be an army of 400,000, but they are suspicious of the monarchs and ministers, and they fight fiercely in the interior, at most half a month, but there is a naval army to protect the children, I estimate that Xiao Mill may not completely lose the country, and he can still maintain a little strength." ”

"Forget it, don't disrupt our plan for Xiao Miao, we will still attack Dou Jiande according to the original plan."

Yang Yuanqing walked to the sand table, picked up the wooden pole and pointed to the Yongji channel: "Now the ship that Xu Shiji's army is riding is probably in Wei County, then Wuyang County, Qinghe County, Pingyuan County, and finally Zhangnan County, it will take about eight days." ”

"Does the governor mean to let Xu Shiji capture Zhangnan County first?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Zhangnan County is Dou Jiande's lair, there are 30,000 garrisons there, as long as Xu Shiji occupies Zhangnan County, Dou Jiande's military spirit will begin to collapse, and we can win this battle at the lowest cost and preserve the people's power in Hebei." ”
