Chapter 413: The Princess and the Captive

There was jubilation at the edge of the unitary water.

With 250 people in the district, he not only defeated more than 1,000 enemies, killed and wounded more than 400 people, but also captured the opponent's main general Wei Jing alive and captured three warships.

More important things are still to come, in order to reduce the load of the warship and facilitate the battle, Wei Jing unloaded most of the baggage in the land camp, and these baggage have now become Wei Ba's trophies, others are okay to say, especially food and medicine, that is a big problem.

After the battlefield was cleaned, his own casualties were also reported to Wei Ba. Because of the surprise and Wei Jing's miscalculation, the time for the Wu army to resist was very limited, and the casualties on their own side were not as large as expected: the Wei family soldiers were killed thirteen people, five were seriously wounded, and twenty-one people were lightly injured, and the Zhao spearmen who were responsible for the frontal main attack suffered greater losses, fifteen people were killed in the battle, eight people were seriously injured, and almost everyone else was wounded, and even Zhao Tong himself was stabbed in the leg.

"The medicine for the lightly wounded will not affect the battle, and the seriously injured soldiers must be treated immediately, otherwise they are likely to die." Zhao Tong regained his composure, and couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought that his spearmen had lost nearly half of them in the first battle. There are still many battles to be fought in the future, but where will the source of troops be replenished?

"Don't worry, after receiving the husband, we will go down the river. The seriously wounded were all sent to the ship to recuperate. Wei Ba comforted: "In the future, there will be no more battles with such a huge disparity in strength, and the casualties will be much smaller." ”

Zhao Tong nodded and stood up. Prepare to leave.

"Well, you wait." Wei Ba glanced at him in surprise: "I haven't finished my sentence yet, why are you in a hurry to leave, what is so important?" ”

Zhao Tong was a little flustered: "No, no, I thought you were done." You say, "What else is going on?" ”

"Among the spearmen who participated in the war this time, are there any clever points, and it is best to be literate and hyphenated."

"Well, there are clever ones. There is not one of them who can read and hyphenate. The most haode is to know your own name. Zhao Tong was a little embarrassed, he knew that the warriors around Wei Ba had basically undergone preliminary reading training, at least half of them could read the "Book of Filial Piety", and some had read the "Analects". Several of them have also read a few sentences about the Art of War. Zhao Tongyi was very surprised. But I didn't think much about it.

"How's that going to work?" Wei Ba frowned: "How can illiterate people lead troops in the future?" It's hard to read an order. ”

Zhao Tong blushed: "That...... I'm going to ask someone for advice now. Okay? ”

"Do you have time?" Wei Ba smiled bitterly: "Do you think we will have time to teach them to read and write after we arrive in Wuxi?" ”

"What then?"

Wei Ba thought for a moment: "That's it, anyway, I won't let them read too complicated orders for a while, you can pick a few with a lively brain first." Those who can convince the public, I am ready to promote them to be team leaders, military marquis, or something, and gradually bring those barbarians into our command. ”

Zhao Tong was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. The team commanded a hundred people, and the military marquis commanded two hundred, although they were all low-ranking officers, but as long as he sent four or five people, he could control one or two thousand brute soldiers. With 2,000 people, he is actually a lieutenant or a general.

This is a heavy reward given to him by Wei Ba.

"Okay, I'll teach them how to read and write." Zhao Tong responded happily, turned around and wanted to leave. Wei Ba stopped him again, and said angrily: "Why are you always in a hurry to leave, what do you want to do?" ”

"I ...... I don't want to do anything, is there anything else? ”

"Of course, there's something else." Wei Ba stood up, put his arm around Zhao Tong's shoulder, squinted his eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "However, the most important thing for me now is to find out what you are thinking." There is no room for distraction for a moment, and if you are concerned, I dare not give you the task. ”

"I don't have anything to worry about." Zhao unanimously vetoed, "You say, what's the matter?" ”

Wei Ba looked at him for a while, and then said: "It's nothing, I'm going to take the military guards to pick up the husband, you send me a few spearmen, and the wounded soldiers are left to you, you are optimistic about this ship and things, don't be taken back by the Wu army." ”

"No problem." Zhao Tong patted his chest and said, "I promise to complete the task." ”

"Go ahead." Wei Ba said in a weird manner: "Pay special attention to that tiger, don't look at her injury, she can bite people." ”

Zhao Tong's face turned red and fled in embarrassment. Wei Ba looked at his back and couldn't help muttering: "I didn't expect this guy to have such a heavy taste, he actually likes this, it's really the best." ”

"What's the best?" Wang Shuangxing rushed over, his voice as loud as thunder. The battle just now was fought happily, and he is now in a good mood, walking with the wind.

"Oh, Ziquan, it's just in time, are the brothers ready?"

"Ready, ready to go." Wang Shuang rubbed his hands and said, "That's it...... It's just a bit of a problem. ”

Wei Ba was surprised: "What's the problem?" ”

"The lightly injured brothers don't want to stay here, they all ask to go with the young master to pick up the husband and fight with Buqi again."

"." Wei Zai categorically vetoed it. "If you want to fight, there will be opportunities in the future, and if you are injured, you have to take care of your injuries. What's more, leaving them here is not idle, they also have tasks to perform. This is nothing to negotiate and must be carried out. ”

"Whoa!" Wang Shuang saw that Wei Ba was a little angry, and didn't dare to say any more, so he hurriedly agreed.

After a short time, Wei Ba set off with sixty Wei family soldiers and ten Zhao family spearmen. They returned the way they came, cautiously moving forward. According to the time estimate, now Xiangfu should have fought with Buqi, if he has a big life, maybe he can escape a few, if he is unlucky, maybe he has been wiped out. In that case, there is a chance that he will collide head-on with the army of foot soldiers.

After Wei Ba left, Zhao Tong moved all the baggage to the ship, and took Sun Luban and Pan Ziyu on the ship. Looking at the blood stains all over the ground and looking at the corpses of Wu Jun that had not yet had time to be buried, Sun Luban and Pan Ziyu were very shocked. Although they didn't know how many Wu troops there were, they knew that there were definitely more than the Shu army when they looked at those corpses. The Shu army won more with less. Not only did they win the battle, but they won it by a big margin, which made their hopes of being rescued even slimmer.

"Miss Pan, don't look at it, let's hurry up and change the medicine for the princess." Zhao Tong stretched out his arm, helped Pan Ziyu onto the boat, and said with a smile: "We have seized a lot of medicine, and the princess will not be in danger of her life." ”

"I don't need medication anymore." Sun Luban looked at Zhao Tong's eyes, lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on Zhao Tong's legs: "It's Zhao Zhonglang who hurries up the time to heal." Don't leave a disability behind. ”

"I'm fine. It's just a little flesh wound. Zhao Tong said with a smile: "The princess's daughter's body, it is better to take care." ”

"I'm just a captive now, not a princess." Sun Luban said softly, turned around and entered the cabin. Sit carefully against the bulkhead. But she didn't sit on the couch that Zhao Tong prepared for her. Zhao Tong was a little surprised. Pan Ziyu smiled bitterly: "After the princess sobered up, she seemed to be a different person, and she may not be sober yet." Please don't blame Zhonglang. ”

Zhao Tong said that it was okay, he stuffed the medicine into Pan Ziyu's hand, turned around and was about to leave. Pan Ziyu stopped him, his face flushed a little: "That...... Zhonglang, I'm ...... I'll help you change your dressing. ”

Zhao Tong was a little puzzled, and was about to refuse, but Pan Ziyu said anxiously: "Zhonglang, I know the rules in the army. I don't dare to ask for anything else, I just hope that Zhonglang will be kind and don't let us wait for the soldiers. If...... If it really doesn't work, then please ask Zhonglang to open up to the princess, and I can do her business. ”

Zhao Tong understood that the two of them were frightened by Wei Ba. If Wei Ba treated them as different captives, then of course they would not be in any danger. However, Wei Ba almost killed Sun Luban with a knife, obviously he didn't really mean to send them back, since this was the case, they were no different from ordinary captives. Prisoners, they must be treated as prisoners, women like them are prisoners, lucky haode can sleep with the generals, and if unlucky haode will be sent to serve ordinary soldiers, it is expected to be wronged.

The reason why Pan Ziyu wants to please him is not because he has any good impression of him, but because he just wants to avoid that kind of bad luck. It seems that all their confidence has been cut away by Wei Ba's unhesitating sword. They are now very aware of their situation, especially Pan Ziyu, who is familiar with the situation in the army and knows the danger far better than Sun Luban.

"That'...... Just trouble Miss Pan. Zhao Tong agreed and took Pan Ziyu to his cabin. He got into the cabin and sat down and waited. Pan Ziyu's face was so red that he seemed to be smeared with blood, and he stood at the door of the cabin for a while, only one foot sticking in.

Zhao Tong looked at the foot that showed the hem of his skirt and frowned: "Miss Pan, if you stand for a while, everyone will see you." ”

Pan Ziyu was startled and jumped in like a rabbit.

"Close the hatch."

"Huh?" Pan Ziyu was taken aback and looked at Zhao Tong in horror: "Zhao Zhonglang, do you want to ...... Do you want to close the door? ”

Zhao Tong looked down at his wound and asked, "What does the girl think?" ”

"Oh, oh." Pan Ziyu suddenly realized, and hurriedly closed the hatch with his backhand. She stood against the bulkhead, lowered her head, looked at the tips of her shoes, didn't even dare to look at Zhao Tongyi's eyes, and her hands trembled a little. Although she knew that it was luck to be able to change the dressing for Zhao Tongyi personally, instead of serving all the wounded, when she was about to face Zhao Tong's dark room, she was still trembling with nervousness and didn't dare to take a step.

Zhao Tongyi lit the light and said softly, "Please turn around." ”

Pan Ziyu didn't dare to disobey, she turned around silently, there was no support behind her, and she was almost unstable. She pricked up her ears, but she heard a trembling voice, and she didn't know what the situation was, so she could only bite her lip and hold her breath, waiting for her own doom.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tong couldn't help but smile, and while carefully covering his armor skirt with his hands, he said, "Miss Pan, I'm really sorry to scare you." Please wait a moment, Miss Pan, and I'll be fine in no time. ”

Pan Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized what Zhao Tong meant. Zhao Tong brought her here to exchange for her injuries, and those soldiers would think that she was the person Zhao Tong wanted, and no one would dare to fight her in the future. Zhao Tong just wanted to protect her, and he didn't mean to let her change the dressing at all. Knowing this, Pan Ziyu was very grateful, her face flushed, and she plucked up her courage: "How ...... Thank you Nakaro. ”

"Nothing." Zhao Tongyi changed his medicine and said: "When we go into battle, how can we not get hurt, we are used to it." You're women, and women aren't supposed to be here. Ziyu often said that war should make women go away. ”

Pan Ziyu turned his back, listened to Zhao Tong's gentle gossip, peeked at the bloodstained cloths that were thrown on the ground by Zhao Tong, his heart suddenly moved, his eyes lit up, and then he covered his hot face and lowered his head. (To be continued......)
