Chapter 762: Both Civil and Military
762
The second day had just dawned, and the whole sky was still dark purple except for the white of the fish belly in the east.
So I had a night's rest, but the night was not easy. The harsh winter outside the fortress is not something that ordinary people can bear, although they are very thickly dressed, tents and fires, they are still so cold that people's limbs are stiff.
After a little activity, everyone began to prepare for the burial of the dead soldiers, the dead are the greatest, not to mention that these people are heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. There is no reason to let them die in the snow.
The weather is cold and the soil is freezing, digging the grave pit is very difficult, a shovel down a white mark, not even an inch deep can not reach, everyone thought of a lot of methods, it is fire roasting and hammering, fortunately, there are many people, more than two hours later, finally the forty-seven graves are dug up.
After being buried according to the etiquette, Wei Yining personally wrote the name of each sacrificed soldier on the wooden board in front of the grave, and the strokes were extremely serious.
"Brothers, the heroic spirit is not far away, due to limited conditions, I have to settle for the time being. When I arrive at the camp, I will definitely report to the imperial court truthfully, so that you can get the rewards you deserve, and I will also engrave a monument for everyone again, so that the British and famous will be famous. Wei Yining said when he led everyone to pay tribute at the grave.
Everyone thought of the friendship of their comrades, and they couldn't help but shed a few tears, you today are tomorrow's me, on the battlefield, I dare not boast that my life is great.
It's just that the sadness of the fighters can only be expressed for a moment, and they cannot indulge in sadness, because there is still an unfinished mission.
After wiping away his tears, burying the pot and cooking, wisps of cooking smoke rose on the barren snowfield, and one or two lone wolves passed by, sat down and sniffed, and then ran away with their tails between their legs.
After eating, the supplies were put in order, mainly the meat of the horses was divided and packed in bags, partly on carts and partly on captured horses.
At this time, the sun had risen very high, and Wei Yining gave an order, and the team slowly advanced and continued to march towards the camp.
Walking on the road, General Lu said to Wei Yining: "Lord Wei, my subordinates really didn't expect you to write well!" That's a lot better than us rough people! ”
General Fang also said: "Wei Da is both humanistic and martial, and Grandpa Zhong is a person who loves talents, and he will definitely be of great use!" ”
Wei Yining listened to his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Fang, for his words." ”
Xiao She'er was laughing on the side, and everyone didn't care, anyway, she was stupid.
After walking to the back hour, I finally came to the post station. As soon as the people in this post station saw them, they knew that they had encountered a fierce battle, and hurriedly welcomed them in.
A military doctor came to treat the wounded, and knowing that he had not eaten lunch, he hurriedly prepared to eat.
When everyone arrived here, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone is holding a bowl of hot tea and sucking it, and outsiders love to drink milk tea, which is salty and fragrant, especially for Wei Yining's appetite.
"You're really fatal." The Yicheng here is an old man who is close to the age of sixties, and after asking Wei Yining about what they experienced yesterday, he couldn't help but say: "A hundred or so Turkic cavalry is not easy to mess with, if you don't take proper precautions, adding another hundred people will not be their opponent." The leader you killed, I sound very similar to Mu Long in the Turkic army, he is a famous butcher, especially murderous, and the number of Han people who died under his hands is uncountable. ”
"If only it were this turtle son." General Lu scolded: "This is the real revenge." ”
"Song Yicheng, we want to stay here today, and we will rest for one night before we leave." Wei Yining said: "The brothers froze all night last night, not to mention that many people are still injured. ”
"Master Wei said that, but it's out of sight, isn't our post station just for entertaining everyone!" Song Yicheng said with a smile.
"I'm sorry for all of you." Wei Yining bowed and said.
The reason why Wei Yining was so polite was because when she had just passed by the post kitchen, she found that there was actually not much food stored there, barely able to support these people for one or two meals.
Everyone rested here for half a day and one night, and they recovered a lot.
The next morning, after breakfast, the crowd was ready to leave.
Wei Yining ordered his men to leave half of the horse meat they brought here, and left a lot of the military rations they were traveling with.
Song Yicheng hurriedly said: "This can't be helped, we will have someone here to send supplies in a few days." Adults should bring these things themselves, the camp needs them more. ”
"We will be able to reach the camp in about two days, and we will have enough food with us." Wei Yining said: "As for these horse meats, they were originally obtained by accident and were not in the plan. What's more, we are a family, you are short of things here, if someone comes again in the past two days, how can you deal with it? There aren't many things, so let's stay. ”
Song Yicheng said: "In this way, the old man will thank Master Wei for his kindness." I wish you all a smooth journey to the camp. ”
Everyone then said goodbye to the post house and continued to move on.
After they left, Song Yicheng was still standing in front of the door, and he had no intention of going back.
The others in the inn said, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside." How many court officials have lived with us, and I haven't seen you so attentive when you send anyone. ”
"I don't look at people who look at officials," Song Yicheng said with a smile: "Although this adult is young, he is indeed the dragon and phoenix in the person, and his future will definitely be limitless." ”
At this time, the old man who was burning the fire in the back kitchen was a fellow villager with him, and he was the same age, he never scrupled when he spoke, and he liked to joke, so he joked to Song Yicheng: "You old guy was bought by someone else with something, and when you were young, I said that you, if you were a girl, I was afraid that you would have been deceived by the merchant long ago, and the two-foot red head rope could let you elope." ”
Song Yicheng was not annoyed, and scolded with a smile: "You are an old bastard, no wonder you have been beaten for a lifetime, you must have abducted a woman from a good family in your previous life and committed evil." ”
"Isn't that kidnapping you," the old man on the fire leaned back with a smile: "Why don't you cook on the fire every day!" ”
But jokes are jokes, and after laughing, Song Yicheng said: "This Lord Wei, although he is young, is very scheming and popular, otherwise it is impossible to win the vicious battle with the Turks." Looking at the attitude of those under his command towards him, he is very respectful and trusting, otherwise his morale would have been low a long time ago. ”
"It's true that you say that," the old man didn't raise his bar anymore: "I think he's really generous, otherwise after these people leave, we'll have to drink the northwest wind for a few days." ”
"You, you always can't leave the pot in three sentences." Song Yicheng shook his head and smiled: "But the brick tea stewed horse meat you make is indeed a must, show it to everyone!" ”
"It's not impossible to show your hand, but it's okay, you are not allowed to ban my wine today." The old man went happily.
