Chapter 179: Touching the head

"Lancui Lake is upstream of Tongguan, and it rains so much, once the river bursts, not only Tongguan will be flooded, but the military camp will not be able to be saved." He put on his hat: "I'll take a look, and I'll be back soon." ”

Luo Shi held the handle of the umbrella tightly: "Then take a few more people." ”

"No, take a look and come back."

Wang Shuo called him from behind: "General, let's go quickly, it will be bigger in a while, and it will be difficult to walk on the road." ”

Li Bu turned and disappeared into the rain, turned on his horse, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lancuihu is a place where there is no sneak attack, and they take the initiative to provoke a war, but they really wait for the fight to start and they don't love war, no matter how you look at it, it is more like a trick deliberately made to distract them.

Li Bu and Wang Shuo traveled dozens of miles in the rain to reach Lancui Lake, looking down from the hillside, the lake was rushing, and the embankment that was built on both sides had been dug up, and now the lake has not overflowed the riverbed, once it overflowed the riverbed, the flood flooded, and the downstream Tongguan could suffer.

Wang Shuo gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "These dogs are all bad, they want to flood Tongguan City!" ”

Li Bu frowned: "Go back first, while there is still time, hurry up and let people repair the river embankment, just in case, pull out the camp first and then retreat, you send people to evacuate the people in Tongguan City." ”

Wang Shuo said yes, Li Bu looked up at the gloomy sky that was about to fall, and secretly hated that he couldn't see through their tactics earlier.

The two went back, Wang Shuo transferred people to repair the river embankment, Li Bu ordered the camp to retreat, and ordered people to evacuate the people.

Li Bu found Luo Fu and Luo Xi and said that he would send someone to escort them out of Tongguan with the people.

The wound on his leg was already severe when it was soaked in water, and he walked more lame than before.

Luo Fu and Luo Xi can't help much here, and in the end, they have to distract him and send someone to protect him, staying will only cause trouble, so it's better to leave.

But before leaving, Luo Shi gave him a bracer made of cowhide: "It can be tied to your wound, and your leg can't see water yet, otherwise you will be lame in the future." ”

She was afraid of the cold, which she originally used to tie to her knees to keep warm, and then wear a knee pad outside, warm and impermeable, but now he has to run in the rain, so he should pity him for his hard work and give him away in vain.

Look at his limping posture just now, if he really becomes lame, and then goes to the battlefield in the future, people will still treat them as if they have no one to defend the country, and then they will lose the people who defend the country.

She made an excuse for herself in her heart, shoved her bracers into him, turned around and continued to pack her things.

This little thing can hardly feel the weight in his hand, but the courtesy is light and affectionate, Li Bu's hand is numb, I don't know if it is the numbness in my heart to the tips of my fingers, or the excitement of her change.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Luo Fu didn't speak, her clothes and hats were added, and the soldiers on the side held up their umbrellas, and she didn't look back when she left.

When Wang Shuo came in to look for Li Bu, he was sitting there bending over and fiddling with his trouser legs.

"General, the two highnesses have been sent away, and the people who repair the river embankment have also been sent, and it is time for us to pull out the camp."

Li Bu snorted and agreed, and continued to lower his head and fiddle with the things on his legs, serious and focused.

Wang Shuo walked over, squatted in front of him, and saw that he kept adjusting the position of the cowhide bracer, and wondered: "Why don't I help you tie it." ”

He stretched out his hand, and Li Bu slapped it away: "Get out." ”

Wang Shuo smiled: "Where did this thing come from?" It's like it's tailor-made for your wound. ”

He finally adjusted to a position that he was satisfied with, put on the rope and tied it to his calf, put down his trouser leg, and his face was a rare smugness and display: "Your Highness sent it, she still remembers the injury on my leg, and she is worried about it, so she forced it for me." ”

Wang Shuo pretended to be surprised: "Your Highness forced it to you?" General, there are no outsiders here, and you just say that you are shameless to rob it, and I will never leak half a word. ”

Li Bu raised his leg and kicked him: "Get out!" ”

Wang Shuo smiled and dodged: "What about those generals?" Fifty military sticks, I can't even get out of bed, I just went to ask, saying that you are making a big fuss and refusing to leave. ”

"Ignore them first, what to do and how to do it, and in the end, there are only a few of them left, and they can't run faster than anyone else."

Things in this world have always been easier to destroy than to do well, but it took them only one day and one night to destroy the river embankment, and the explosives exploded, and they collapsed, but if they want to rebuild, they have to clean up the rocks first, and the rain and mud are deep and inconvenient to move, which is a big delay in the progress.

And it was getting dark, and they couldn't see anything at night, and their feet were slippery, and it was even more dangerous to build a dam in the rain at night, but they couldn't afford any loss now.

I had no choice but to rest at night. The generals who were reluctant to leave, watched the camp tents around them empty one after another, and finally couldn't hold back, they really couldn't get out of bed, but they wanted to survive, and they naturally ran with wind under their feet.

Lib was by the embankment, and it had been raining for a day, and the lake was about to overflow the riverbed, and if it was to be the case tomorrow, they would have to retreat.

But things were far worse than he had imagined, in fact, before tomorrow, the lake was already overflowing in the middle of the night, and the embankment built in the small half of the river could not stop the flooding at all, and Li Bu could only order the people to retreat before they retreated to the top of the slope, and the place where they had been before was flooded.

Luo Fu and they have now withdrawn from Tongguan, I don't know what happened to Li Bu's side, if Tongguan is really destroyed because of this, then it is really a good strategy to win this battle without spending a single soldier.

On the third day of the withdrawal from Tongguan, Luo Fu cut off contact with Li Bu, and on the fifth day, he heard that Tongguan was flooded.

Day 7......

It has been raining heavily for seven days.

Luo Shi hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, and every time she woke up, she dreamed that a huge wave was coming at her, and she was swept into the water, surrounded by the corpse of Li Bu, as well as the corpses of thousands of civilians and soldiers.

On the eighth day, the sky cleared up for a while.

In the evening, a soldier arrived, and finally brought good news, saying that Li Bu had thought of a strategy to control the water and wanted to ask Luo Xi to help draw a map.

Luo Shi breathed a sigh of relief, his legs were weak and weak, and he sat on the chair for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Li Bu wanted to divert the river, they were on this side of the river, not on the other side of the river, their was destroyed and there was a gap, so all the water poured into them, he had been thinking about the solution, no matter how complicated it was, he realized that the matter was not complicated, it was he who thought about the matter too complicated, as long as he changed the direction of the river and let the water flow to the soup, the matter would be solved.

But these people around him are all big and coarse, and they can't draw a flow map, and they don't know where to dig without my map.

Luo Xi happily agreed and left with the soldiers, Luo Shi stayed behind to appease the people, but he was always absent-minded.

After another four or five days, Luo Xi came back and said that he could go back to Tongguan, so they all withdrew to Tongguan.

The city is littered with signs of flooding, and although the water has not yet completely receded, it is now inhabitable.

After another two days, Luo Fu finally saw Li Bu, his method worked, the river was diverted, and now Butang became the Wang-Yangze Kingdom, and even Xirong was also suffered, and the indestructible alliance between the two countries became in danger in an instant.

It's just that his leg looks even lame.

This is a big victory, Luo Xi asked for credit for Li Bu on the table, and Luo Xi set up a banquet to invite Li Bu in the evening, Luo Shi saw that he still had a cane in his hand, and he limped in, funny and sad.

Luo Xi was also a little unbearable when he saw this: "It's been a hard time for the general, how is the leg injury, and have you let the military doctor see it?" ”

Li Bu glanced at Luo Fu and shook his head honestly: "I haven't had time to take care of it yet." ”

"It" refers to his own leg, and he pats his thigh as if the leg is someone else's, with an indifferent expression: "Your Highness, rest assured, it's okay." ”

Luo Fu said: "General Li's physical fitness is different from ordinary people, it is okay to use crutches, you are a meritorious man now, if the leg injury has not been good, Your Majesty will only regret it if he knows about it." ”

He has been soaked in water for more than half of the time in the past half a month, and the wound has already been soaked, and he looked at it this morning, it was miserable, and it hurt to touch it a little, and he wanted to find a military doctor to take a look, but he forgot about it when he was busy, and he couldn't say that he didn't care, but he really didn't have to care too much.

The rain that had been falling for more than half a month finally stopped, the moon and stars in the night sky were sparse, and there was a faint earthy smell in the air.

"Your Highness?"

She just hurried out, and she has been standing here in a daze for a long time?

"Just ......" Luo Fu came back to his senses as soon as he called him, and gave him the soup: "This is the soup that the palace asked for the fourth brother, I forgot that the fourth brother doesn't like clear soup, I will reward you." ”

The four princes have a heavy taste, and the dishes placed in the banquet are all spicy and oily, will she not know?

The chicken soup is rich, somehow stewed into a milky white color, and the soup noodles are floated with a few green onions, and the aroma is attractive.

"This ...... Give the soup to the four highnesses, will it not be good for the ministers to drink it? That being said, it didn't stop him from putting the soup in his mouth at all.

"If you are rewarded, you will drink, don't get cheap and sell well."

After Li Bu finished drinking, he licked his lips unsatisfied.

Luo Fu's gaze swept over his face: "Find a military doctor after you go back, we have never had a lame general since the founding of the country, there was no one before, and we can't have one in the future." ”

Li Bu pinched his eyebrows and answered vaguely, standing well, suddenly shook from side to side, he propped his hands on the handrail of the stairs to support his head, and barely stood firmly.

Luo Shi retracted his hand and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

He bent down slightly and sent his head over: "You touch - my head." ”
