The eldest disciple of the military doctor said that the medicine given to Chu Xiang was also brought to him, but he didn't know if anyone had decocted the medicine for him.

Su Jinyao said: "Let's go over and take a look when I'm done." After all, he is also a person who contributes to the military camp, and he has been able to fight on the battlefield for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work. ”

While talking, she changed the dressing of those wounded, most of the wounded (qíng) were in stable condition, and the condition of some (qíng) was not optimistic, and Su Jinyao could only do her best.

After a war, the scene of mountains of bones piling up is not just a simple picture, but a sad song left after the fall of a fresh life.

No matter how clever Su Jinyao's medical skills are, she is not a real Nine Heavens Fairy, and she has no ability to bring the dead back to life. If you can do your best, the rest is to obey the destiny of heaven.

But Su Jinyao didn't expect that when she came out after bandaging these serious injuries, she saw Xiao Wu holding a big basket and moving this way. The basket is really big, and I don't know what is in it, as if (tǐng) is heavy.

Su Jinyao didn't have a fight, so she hurriedly went over to help. When I came closer, I saw that the basket that Xiao Wu was holding was full of fruits.

However, those are not good-looking fruits, most of them are wild fruits. 、

For example, bunches of small, dark purple wild grapes, eating a few will make the tongue and lips turn purple.

For example, the wild apple, which is not much bigger than a table tennis ball, is still green, with only a small patch of red, which looks very special (ài). However, it is estimated that one bite will cause sour teeth.

There are even some unknown wild fruits, red, yellow and black, which look like a basket of colorful colors, no wonder Xiao Wu is holding it so hard.

Su Jinyao was puzzled and asked, "Little Wu, you went to pick wild fruits so early?" The weather is like this, when will you be able to eat such a big basket? ”

"I didn't pick it, it was my brothers in the barracks who picked it." Xiao Wu said as he put the basket at Su Jinyao's feet and said, "These are all a little bit of kindness from the brothers, and I gave it to Miss Liu." ”

"What? For me! Su Jinyao was slightly surprised and said, "I can't finish eating so much." Which brothers picked it? Take some back and I'll just keep a little. ”

"I don't know who it all is, there are tens of thousands of horses in the barracks." Xiao Wu said, took out a red fruit from the basket and stuffed it into Su Jinyao's hand, and said, "I don't know which brother proposed it, saying that it was really hard for Miss Liu to march with everyone all the way, and the girl's family can't do without a snack of candied fruit." However, in this barracks, even meals can only be prepared according to three meals, and everyone can only pick some wild fruits for you every day. These were brought by a squad that came back from today's patrol. Tomorrow another team will patrol elsewhere and will bring back another wild fruit. ”

"Well, but I can't finish it." Su Jinyao looked at those fruits, her heart was warm and sweet, and a little sour. With so many wild fruits, it's no wonder that the roots of her teeth are sour if she doesn't eat them.

After thinking about it, Su Jinyao said: "Xiao Wu, you go and ask the kitchen, can you borrow a stove for me to use." ”

"Well, all right." Xiao Wu agreed, and ran to the kitchen happily.

Su Jinyao squatted next to this basket, nibbled on a wild apple and ate a small bunch of grapes, the corners of her mouth were sour, and her teeth were sour and soft. But she is also sweet in her heart.

It seems that the men in these barracks really take good care of her, the only woman, and it is no wonder that Gu Xuebin was suspicious at the first time.

Su Jinyao was squatting here, and some soldiers saw it and said hello to her from time to time. Looking at her eyes is appreciative and guan, much like the feeling of the neighbor's eldest brother and uncle looking at the little sister.

For a while, Su Jinyao suddenly felt that the kind of (rè) (qíng) that she couldn't even feel in her hometown in Pingshan Village suddenly surrounded her. This may be called the human guan (ài).

After a while, Xiao Wu came back and said to Su Jinyao: "The cook said that as long as it is Miss Liu's orders, you can use the stove whenever you want." And in the future, if Miss Liu is hungry or wants to make a tooth sacrifice, as long as she doesn't die too early or too late, as long as there is something prepared in the kitchen, the cook can make it for you. ”

Is this the rhythm of opening a small stove for Su Jinyao?

Su Jinyao shook her head with a smile and said, "I've eaten breakfast, and I don't usually eat snacks, so I don't need it." You can help me bring this fruit to the kitchen. ”

Xiao Wu was really hard to hold a big basket alone, so he and Su Jinyao carried the basket to the kitchen.

The kitchen of the barracks is also a large tent, and there is not only one kitchen for tens of thousands of people to eat, but several kitchens distributed between the tents in the barracks.

Xiao Wu brought Su Jinyao here in the main kitchen near the camp tent of the Chinese army. That is, he is specially responsible for the diet of generals and commanders in the barracks.

The utensils here are the most complete and the ingredients are the best. And only the two chefs in this kitchen are called "cooks", and the other kitchens are called "guys". Su Jinyao and Xiao Wu came to the kitchen with a basket of wild fruits, and saw that the two cooks were there, one was slightly chubby and the other was very tall. The fat chef smiled (ài), and although he didn't talk much, he was the kind of person who was very honest at first glance.

Su Jinyao said: "I want to boil some fresh fruit soup, borrow kitchen utensils, and also need sugar." ”

The fat cook smiled and said that he had no opinion, whatever Su Jinyao did, he could help if he needed it. The tall cook said honestly, "But there is not much sugar. ”

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Then add some salt." This time, the tall cook had no problem either.

In fact, when boiling fruit soup drinks, in addition to adding sugar and adding an appropriate amount of salt, it can make the taste sweeter, which is better than simply putting a lot of sugar. That's why many juice drinks are labelled with sodium ingredients in their recipes. In fact, if you pay close attention, almost all desserts also contain snail, that is, salt.

Since the cook has no opinion, Su Jinyao asked Xiao Wu to be responsible for washing, and she was responsible for removing the core and cutting into pieces. Then pour the proportioned fruit into a large pot, fill a pot with water and start boiling.

The color of the boiled fresh fruit soup is very beautiful, it is a translucent purple red, which is more gorgeous and clear than the color of the sour plum soup.

After boiling one pot, pour the water into a wooden bucket to cool, and then boil the second pot, and the remaining pomace at the bottom of the pot is not thrown away, but strained out and set aside.

When a basket of fresh fruits was boiled into more than a dozen large barrels of fresh fruit soup, plus sugar and a small amount of salt, Xiao Wu tasted it, and the table (qíng) was particularly wonderful.

Su Jinyao said: "Then trouble you, Xiao Wu, go find a few brothers to come over and take these fresh fruit soups to everyone to drink." Weather (rè), drink a little to relieve the heat, and can replenish physical strength. ”

Although more than a dozen buckets of fresh fruit soup may not be enough for more than 30,000 people to drink, at least the intention is fulfilled. And if someone comes back from picking wild fruits tomorrow, Su Jinyao will continue to cook them for them.

Su Jinyao was reluctant to throw away the remaining pomace, the cooked pomace didn't look so good-looking, a little whitish, and the taste was even more light.

Su Jinyao poured all the pomace into a large pot, put sugar on it and stir-fried it constantly, and only stopped the fire when the water was almost fried and the sugar had seeped into the fruit (ròu).

"Come, try the preserved fruit I made." Su Jinyao smiled and gave the fried preserved fruit to the two cooks to taste, and the table (qíng) of the two people was as wonderful as when Xiao Wu tasted the fresh fruit soup before.

It was the tall cook who was honest and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's ...... Sugar fee. ”

"Poof" Su Jinyao smiled, this cook is really a real person. But there are also snacks in this way, with moderate sweetness and sourness, and the taste is not bad.

When Xiao Wu came back, Su Jinyao gave him some preserved fruits, and took the rest away. Part of it was given to Seventeen and Geng Bin, and the other part was taken to Gu Xuebin to show the treasure.

Gu Xuebin doesn't eat sweets very much, but the preserved fruits that Su Jinyao brought and she made them with her own hands, so she has to eat some of them.

For a while, the atmosphere in the barracks was not as sad as yesterday, but there was some bitterness and joy in it. It seems that the value of women can be reflected everywhere, and it is particularly important.

For the next two days, everything seemed to be going well. After Su Jinyao's treatment, most of the seriously injured people have been out of danger, except for a very few (qíng) conditions that are really bad, Su Jinyao has done her best.

Gu Xuebin's injuries recovered quickly, and now even if he doesn't have to hide it, he won't be seen as seriously injured before.

Seventeen has also fully recovered, and according to Su Jinyao's previous agreement with him, he returned to Gu Xuebin's (shēn) side again, as the exclusive shadow guard under the crown prince (diàn).

Geng Bin's recovery is also relatively good, but he is missing an arm, and he can't adapt to normal life for a while. Even when you want to walk faster, you have trouble getting your balance because of a broken arm.

If it weren't for the fact that from afar, spies from the Qingfan people would be seen coming here from time to time to inquire about the situation, Su Jinyao would have thought that this war was about to end.

Until the morning of the third day, Su Jinyao had just finished changing the medicine for some seriously injured people. Suddenly, a muffled, wide trumpet sounded all around.

This time, the horn was not far away, and it blew majestically, not at all the feeling of the last time I heard an orangutan blow.

Su Jinyao's heart sank, feeling that the war she was thinking about was finally gone, and now what was in front of her would be a real battle to the death.

The comfortable (rì) son is not always free, since this is the battlefield, there will always be a day when the war will start. In fact, Gu Xuebin has never slackened these days, and has been actively rehearsing formations and deploying troops.

Now that the horn sounded, Gu Xuebin took the lead out of the camp tent and looked in the direction where the horn sounded.

General Sun was the first to arrive. After the loss of two lieutenants, General Sun seemed to be the most vocal person under the commander. The rest of the generals also gathered outside Gu Xuebin's camp one after another, waiting for the redeployment of the crown prince (diàn).

Su Jinyao also put down the things in her hand and came to Gu Xuebin's tent. No one had any objections to Su Jinyao's participation this time, but several generals also bowed their heads slightly to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao nodded in response, and then stood in the middle of everyone, wanting to know Gu Xuebin's decision. No matter what kind of thoughts he has, Su Jinyao will choose to walk side by side with him.

Gu Xuebin pursed his lips and did not immediately open his mouth to deploy, his eyes kept looking at the direction where the horn sound came from. After a while, he said: "Actually, the Qingfan people sent a war book early in the morning, and the battle was at the end of the hour. Although I did not make arrangements in advance or tell you, I had already sent spies to check the terrain and learned about the deployment of the Qingfan people. ”

After speaking, Gu Xuebin waved his hand, and two small soldiers walked over with a large volume of maps, unfolding them to both sides, drawing extremely detailed topographic maps and marking them with cinnabar pens and charcoal pens respectively.

Gu Xuebin deliberately drew such a large topographic map, firstly, so that everyone could see his deployment clearly; Second, it was also because he had made more detailed arrangements for this battle, so it was easier to send soldiers to the designated positions by drawing a more accurate terrain of a small area.

Su Jinyao also glanced at the picture, and after seeing it, her pupils tightened, thinking why this picture felt a little familiar.

She thought about it for a moment, and then gasped. Because Su Jinyao saw that the current distribution of the Qingfan people's forces marked on this map was very strange.

Those seemingly chaotic Qingfan people were divided into several squads and scattered around the battlefield in Qifengpo.

But Su Jinyao has already seen that those seemingly messy distributions should be a kind of formation! Su Jinyao stared at the large map unfolded by Gu Xuebin, and when she saw the distribution of the Qingfan people's forces on it, she intuitively thought that it was a formation. And it was also a formation she had once encountered, a big formation that the second prince had set up on that mountain.

In other words, the second prince silently deployed the Qingfan soldiers to set up a Tiangang Beidou array, and then shouted at Gu Xuebin.

If Gu Xuebin couldn't break the formation, as soon as his more than 30,000 horses fell in, they would be surrounded and broken one by one. And before the Qingfan people withdrew, they couldn't have a chance to escape.

At the beginning, Su Jinyao was in the mountains for many days, and she also tried to break through many times. But each time, it was blocked by a few rocks, or it was simply a dizzy and rambling around. But not once did she succeed.

If there is no real formation-breaking master, then it is possible for these people to wander around the formation for a day or two.

However, at such a critical moment, let alone one or two days, even if it is two hours, the change in the battle situation is a matter of life and death.

Su Jinyao's brows furrowed more and more, and she looked at Gu Xuebin again.

And Gu Xuebin was also aware of Su Jinyao's staring at him. His gaze met Su Jinyao's, and he found the abnormality in her eyes, and after a moment's hesitation, Gu Xuebin still asked, "Jinyao, do you have something to say?" ”

In public and private, Gu Xuebin should not have talked to Su Jinyao like this at this time.

But Su Jinyao didn't care about anything else, took a step forward, and said to Gu Xuebin: "I have something to tell you, I must say it alone now." Can you give me a cup of tea? ”

Gu Xuebin was calm, thought seriously between his eyebrows, and then nodded, "Okay, come in with me." With that, he first turned (shēn) into the tent.

Su Jinyao didn't expect Gu Xuebin to give her face like this, and she could temporarily put aside military affairs in front of the generals, and agreed to her request without asking the reason.

Su Jinyao nodded slightly to the others and apologized, then casually took the map from the hands of the two soldiers, and followed into the tent.

Gu Xuebin saw Su Jinyao come in with a map, and the table (qíng) was even more serious, and asked directly: "Jinyao, do you think there is anything wrong with this map?" ”

"It's not the map, it's that I think the distribution of Qingfan soldiers is very problematic." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she unfolded the map on the table, pointed to a few places on it with her hand, and said, "Here, here, and here, the seemingly messy deployment is actually a layout that echoes each other. No matter what direction you attack, you will be cut off by the Qingfan people on the other two sides and surrounded by them. ”

After speaking, he pointed to a few other places and said, "There are also these places, there is nothing wrong with looking at them alone, but if you connect them and look at them again, does it look like a cloth bag?" If our people go in, it's the only entrance, and then they fall into the circle (tào) of the green vans. As long as the other party closes his mouth, no matter how many people you send in, they will surround more with less and wait for work. ”

Then, Su Jinyao pointed out a few more places, all of which were the shape of the formation she had memorized in her mind. It's just that the stone formation was used on the mountain before, but now it has been replaced by a group of Qingfan soldiers.

But the stone is dead, but the man is alive. In other words, if Gu Xuebin led people to rush in, maybe the change in the formation would be far more powerful than the formation arranged by a few stones.

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she took a long breath and said, "Che, I only know a little about these so-called formations, and I really don't have any more comprehension. But I can assure you that if our people go in, they will only go and never return. The reason why I want to say this to you alone is because this formation is really dangerous, and if I say it in public, I am afraid that it will affect morale. ”

When Gu Xuebin said this, his brows were also frowning tightly. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, he looked at Su Jinyao with surprised eyes for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

Su Jinyao was anxious and said, "Che, you can't decide to attack rashly now, this is tantamount to sending our soldiers to death." No matter how many people go to the rescue, they may be dragged into the water. ”

Gu Xuebin saw that Su Jinyao was really anxious, walked over and shook her shoulder, and said, "Jinyao, I really didn't expect that you would be able to understand the Tiangang Beidou Great Array." ”

"What? You...... You know? Su Jinyao was stunned before coming back to her senses. Listening to Gu Xuebin's meaning, he knew what kind of formation the second prince had laid out.

"Yes, my uncle is a general who has led the army for many years, and he is also very familiar with the formation. It's just that he said that his enlightenment (xìng) is really limited, and it is difficult to comprehend all the formations in detail. So since I started to read and write, my uncle has taught me how to practice formations and explain the arrangement and cracking of formation eyes. ”
