Text Chapter 403 Heavy losses
Although the wind chill was very ferocious this time, under Shen Huo's order, the military doctor controlled it very timely, so there were no casualties.
Two days later, the soldiers in the barracks were basically all right. However, every army will be mixed with some old and weak soldiers, even if this team is personally allocated by the emperor to Shen Huo, the crown prince, there is no exception.
The young soldiers, who were strong and strong, were basically fine after drinking two pills. But those slightly older soldiers, who slept in the open along the way, contracted the wind and cold, and were a little trickier.
Shen Huo stood on the high slope of the camp, and from here, looking into the distance, he could see the direction of the capital. He remembered that he was standing on the top of the city wall as he left, looking tenderly at what he was relying on.
After a few days, I don't know how Ayi is doing in the capital? He Nuanliang and King Wu didn't embarrass her after she left, she got along well with her father and queen mother, on weekdays, whether the people in the house served her well, the most important thing was her...... Whether it's like this, I miss him.
Thinking about it, Shen Huo stood here and laughed, when did he become so troubled by gains and losses. Isn't it all obvious to him? What's more, two days ago, Ayi also wrote a letter to him, asking him to march, be careful when fighting, and tell himself to take good care of himself.
Thinking like this, Shen Huo's face showed a gentle smile, and he said in his heart: Ayi, I will definitely end this war as soon as possible, and then return to the capital to accompany you.
The deputy general stood behind Shen Huo, hesitated for a long time, and didn't know whether he should leave or not. He had come long before a stick of incense, and after walking to Shen Huo's side, he found that Shen Huo was full of gentle smell.
What else does the deputy general not understand at this time? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have thought of the Crown Princess again. Otherwise, it would not have been possible that he hadn't spotted him when he was so close.
Originally, the deputy general was thinking about going over and shouting Shen Huo, but when he was about to speak, Shen Huo, who was standing in front of him, had a more and more soft aura around him. At this moment, the deputy general also hesitated a little, should he call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time? What if he disturbs His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blames him for ruining his own good deeds?
But remembering what the military doctor had reported to him just now, the adjutant general gritted his teeth and was about to speak, when Shen Huo discovered his existence while standing on the top of the hillside, the soft aura on his body dissipated in an instant, and he returned to his previous indifferent and indifferent appearance.
He turned around and glanced at the lieutenant who was standing not far from him, and said lightly with thin lips: "What's the matter?" The lieutenant was taken aback. Hurriedly restrained the emotions on his face, first Shen Huo saluted, and then spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, just now the military doctor came to report,
It is said that the young soldiers who have contracted the disease have improved, but those elderly soldiers are a little more troubled, and this place is not as rich as the capital, and there is an urgent shortage of medicines, so we may have to pause here for a while, and the military doctor asked his subordinates to come and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for instructions. ”
Shen Huo looked at the deputy general in front of him, let him filter all the content in his words, and then spoke again: "Numerology military doctors do their best to treat those veterans, if the medicinal materials are not enough, send people back to the capital to transport, if they are really not enough, go to the nearby mountains to dig, in short, no matter what, after five days, the army will walk at a normal speed." ”
The deputy general was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Shen Huo's thanksgiving: "The veterans in the subordinate military camp thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his grace, and his subordinates will go to give orders." After eating, he ran down happily.
This time, he listened to the words of the old military doctor and pleaded with Shen Huo, originally with the idea of trying it out. He had been with many generals before, so naturally this would happen, but those generals would discard wounded or sick veterans without saying a word.
It's still a little brutal and worth killing the veterans. Because the role of these people on the battlefield is really not fighting, there are many such soldiers in the ranks of various generals, and they have no big role on weekdays, but they have to distribute grain and grass to support them all the time, and those soldiers are very dissatisfied with these old and weak soldiers.
Therefore, they will always be abandoned at such times, he originally thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be the same as those generals, but he never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so benevolent and benevolent. Instead of abandoning the soldiers, he ordered the doctors to treat them well.
However, what the adjutant general didn't understand was that Shen Huo himself had been mixed in the barracks, and others didn't know the usefulness of those veterans, but he knew it well in his heart.
Although the young soldier is young and strong, he is good at fighting. However, most of the older soldiers have participated in the war, so they are very experienced on the battlefield, and having them with that group of young soldiers can greatly reduce the mortality rate of those young soldiers on the battlefield.
Another point is that these veterans, no matter how old they are, they are also people who have contributed to Da Zhou. If you abandon them when they are sick at this time, how many soldiers will be cold?
After Shen Huo finished telling the deputy general, he originally wanted to stand on this broken top for a while, but he glanced at the direction of the capital, and the longing in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He thought about it, but forgot it. At this time, it was a critical moment for the army to march and fight, and the personal feelings of his children would only disturb his mind, not to mention that now he would not appear in front of him even if he had been looking in the direction of the capital.
It's just a matter of increasing thoughts. Thinking so, Shen Huo walked towards the barracks at the bottom of the mountain.
After the adjutant general brought Shen Huo's order back to the barracks, a burst of laughter erupted in the barracks. Everyone praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his benevolence and righteousness, and for having the style of a general. This made Shen Huo's status in the military camp much higher than before.
If in the past those soldiers obeyed him because of his status, now they are wholeheartedly surrendering to him.
While he was laughing and laughing in the barracks, the masters around Yu Jiangyang also reported the news to him. Shen Huo ordered the soldiers to be stationed ten miles away, and it would take a day for the army to march, but if the horse went quickly, it would only be half a day to run back and forth.
Yu Jiangyang heard the news of the sixteenth report, and he still had a faint expression on his face. Seeing this, Sixteen had no choice but to stand aside obediently. After a while, Yu Jiangyang spoke: "You said that Shen Huo was stationed ten miles away, and he had the intention of being stationed there for a long time, but what was the purpose of finding out?" ”
Sixteen hurriedly replied: "Young Master Qiyu, it seems that Shen Huo's march is too anxious this time, so most of the manager's soldiers are infected with the wind cold, and Shen Huo has no choice but to stop there. ”
"I see!" Yu Jiangyang praised lightly when he heard this. There are a bunch of masters around who don't know why. So what?
When they were still about to ask, Yu Jiangyang spoke again: "At this time, I will report to your master that you will continue to investigate the news in Shen Huo's military camp, and you must not relax." Those masters wanted to say something more, but suddenly remembered what Xue Gongzi had told them when they left.
All of them were unwilling, but they still replied respectfully: "Yes." But after all those masters walked out of Yu Jiangyang's room, he walked to the desk to spread paper and ink, and wrote down the content of the sixteenth report to him just now, and then walked to the window, tied the letter to the pigeon's leg, and sent it to the capital.
After Xue Gongzi received Yu Jiangyang's letter, he immediately called Gu Zhiheng to discuss with him, and after Gu Zhiheng saw the content of the letter, he was overjoyed and said, "This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xue Gongzi with an excited face, "What does Xue Gongzi think?" Xue Gongzi looked at Gu Zhiheng with an excited face, and a flash flashed in his eyes
Gu Zhiheng noticed the disgust, and then said lightly: "Xue thinks the same. Although Xue Gongzibing didn't say what he thought, how could Gu Zhiheng not understand?
Right now, Shen Huo stopped at the border ten miles away because of this matter. Wasn't this the time for them to let Yu Jiangyang pretend to be Shen Huo? The right time, place, and people have all taken advantage of them, if they don't make a move at this time, when will they wait?
Gu Zhiheng and Xue Gongzi glanced at each other, and they both saw the same information in each other's eyes. The two laughed out loud at the same time, and Gu Zhiheng arched his hand to Xue Gongzi and said, "Then this matter will be Lao Xue Gongzi!" ”
Xue Gongzi got up and avoided his salute as early as when Gu Zhiheng gave up his hand, and then said lightly: "King Wu doesn't have to be so polite, I will write a letter to ask Jiang Yang to handle this matter." ”
Gu Zhiheng saw that Xue Gongzi took the initiative to avoid his courtesy, and he was very satisfied. In his opinion, he is His Royal Highness King Wu who is under one person and above ten thousand people, there is really no need to salute a grass people, and it is just a polite gesture in his hand just now, and it is just what Xue Gongzi himself avoids is also what he wants.
After saying the matter, Gu Zhiheng took his leave, "Since this is the case, then I will leave this matter to the son, there are still many miscellaneous matters to deal with in my palace, so I won't bother the son." ”
Xue Gongzi got up and said, "Where, I'll send His Highness out." Gu Zhiheng didn't refuse, Xue Gongzi sent Gu Zhiheng all the way outside the gate, until he watched him get into the carriage, and then went back to the house and walked to his study.
Xue Gongzi wrote a letter to Yu Jiangyang, asking him to look like Shen Huo, and to use the prince's seal to give the order to attack.
After Yu Jiangyang received the order, he immediately executed it. He sent Sixteen to pretend to be the deputy general beside Shen Huo, and sent orders to the soldiers in front of him, asking them to storm the Turks at any cost.
The soldiers in front received the military order and looked at the seal of the prince on it, without the slightest suspicion. These soldiers had not yet recovered from their condition, but they had no choice but to storm the Turks, resulting in heavy losses.
