There was some blood on her face, but those who had been on the battlefield knew it was someone else's blood at a glance, and there was also blood on her clothes, as well as on the knife she was carrying in her hand.

"Girl—"

The crow's beautiful eyelashes flickered, and she seemed to have a lot to say, but not to him.

When she returned to Xiapi, it was still afternoon, the weather was very hot, and the cicadas were chirping wildly in the trees. There was a child in the street who took a pole to stick to the cicada, and the pole was so slender and long that she looked away when she passed by.

In such weather, pork can only be put in the well or cellar to be chilled, but even if the pig is in the water, it will soon be not fresh, so these things are simply taken out and put on the board, and sold at a discount.

The world has changed overnight, or she has changed herself, so she will associate everything for no reason.

The muddy ground, the blue bamboo poles, the shiny knives, and the bloody animal entrails, she remembered the war and the feeling of stabbing the knife into the belly of someone she didn't know.

"I finally know now why my brother doesn't want me to follow Rong."

Tongxin and Siniang went to the street, there was a caravan from Yanzhou, among which the needlework merchants brought a lot of new looks, Tongxin was very interested in this, must go to see.

Only Xiaolang is left in the family to play with Ah Cao, as well as Ah Brother.

"War always changes a person." Brother said.

"How did Brother forget those things?" "When I close my eyes at night," she asked, "I can see the day as soon as I close my eyes." ”

"I can't forget," he said, "I just told myself, don't let it change too much, at least the part that I value the most, can't be changed by it." ”

“…… What is most important? ”

"The reason why 'I' is 'me' is not someone else's," said the brother, "do you understand what I mean?" ”

…… In fact, her brother has always been very unable to speak, occasionally speaking very vaguely, occasionally speaking very ethereally, and often speaking impolitely, so he will always choke people speechless.

But Lu Bai understood what he meant, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

"I see, brother."

"That's good," said her brother gently, "there's one more thing I want to tell you, Bai." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm a woman."

“…… Brother? ”

"I'm a woman," her brother ...... Or maybe it's my sister, who looked at her so seriously and expectantly, and a little nervously, "I was a woman dressed as a man before, Ah Bai, you know?" ”

Lu Bai was choked for a long time and couldn't speak.

Those dirty, cruel, bloody images were pierced by this shocking news in an instant, and dispelled from my mind.

It was a long time before she replied.

“…… I don't understand! How could I possibly understand! Brother! No! Sister! ”

…… Although it was a little embarrassing to say this, it was still said anyway.

Lu Bai's expression seemed to collapse for a short time, and he was down, covering his face and not knowing what to think.

In the end, he accepted it, and tentatively reached out and touched her throat, and suddenly realized.

"I was thinking," she said, "whether it's because my brother is so not greedy for beauty, or because my brother is just not good at it!" ”

"Let's change the subject," Lu Hangyu said embarrassedly, "Change the subject." ”

The camp exchanged their performance for rewards, pensions, and the distribution of weapons.

But what's next?

"Does my sister want a personal guard?"

"Hmm...... Hmm......" she thought for a moment, "do you want to come?" ”

"I can divide dozens of sisters," Lu Bai said, "but I can't go to my women's camp." ”

“…… Why? ”

"My sister is the unparalleled sword god in the world, and they can't play the role of protecting my sister when they follow her," she said, "just like the maids around the noble ladies of the family." ”

"Isn't it good?" Lu Xuanyu asked, "I can always keep you safe." ”

Lu Bai was silent for a while.

"On the way back to see me off, the general was very polite."

She felt that Lu Bai still had something to say, so she quietly listened to her continue.

"Actually, when I went, he was very polite," Lu Bai smiled, "I was born beautiful, and I am a brother...... Sister's sister, those men either love me or respect my sister's status, and will always treat me politely.

"But that kind of politeness...... Not for me alone. She considered her words, "If it were a different beauty, or a general's female dependents accompanying the army, they would treat her very politely."

"But when I returned, I was treated very politely. He asked me how I had come up with such a plan, and how I had managed to keep this little army from retreating. ”

"You're doing a great job." Lu Hangyu said.

"I want to protect my sister, and when I mentioned to my sister that day that I wanted to build a women's camp, I really said that," Lu Bai said, "This is my sincere words, but it is not entirely for this." ”

“…… Yes? ”

"My eldest father once told me about many famous generals in the history books," Lu Bai looked at her quietly, "I only listened to it as a story at that time, and when I saw my sister, I knew that those people had really lived, because my sister will leave a mark in the history books in the future, and I envy and want to do so."

"Sister, I am a woman, born weak. Ordinary people think about it, if I want to be famous in history, I just rely on marrying a good husband and giving birth to a good son. ”

Lu Bai leaned on the table, the sun fell on her sleeve, and she looked extremely weak.

Although weak, there is an ambition in his eyes that does not match that of a girl.

"But I want to give it a try, and see if future generations of historians and scribes can leave my name when they write famous generals."

Chapter 169

There is a saying that "there is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts", although it is a bit subjective, but it is not bad. In a sense, judging whether a person is suitable for Congrong is also this method - if you have fought a bad battle, the one who survives is the winner.

Therefore, what Lu Bai promised a few months ago, she has indeed done.

After this small team of female soldiers returned to Xiapi, twenty or thirty people immediately asked to leave, and Lu Bai agreed.

But there are more women who want to join.

Because of victory and prestige, but also because of rewards and pensions.

The endurance of the women of this era was unimaginable to Lu Hangyu, because their husbands were often unable to stay in their hometowns due to frequent wars and labor, so they had to work in the fields during the day, weave and sew at night, and have time to serve their aunts and take care of their children.

They undertake almost all of their labor, even if they have little pay, but as long as they survive, they are hungry and clothed, so they occasionally make one or two grumbles, one or two laments, but they have no more energy to vent, they will still bow their heads and continue to work, like ploughing oxen in the field, toiling to death.

In addition to an immediate payment, the families of the fallen soldiers will continue to be given five years of rice rations, which is a huge amount of money that many civilian women have never seen in their lives, so it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

And those women who survived were also rewarded, many of them had never understood what "private property" was, and now that they had taken the money home, the attitude of the aunt had changed, and the attitude of the husband had changed, and many women had gained unprecedented respect.

"It's life money! Every big dollar has blood on it! The women who had quit the camp commented, "You can't make that kind of money!" ”

With this accusation, there were even more women who wanted to join the camp for healthy women, and there were even many scrawny little girls—usually girls whose families could not afford to support them, who wanted to sell them to be powerful servants but were rejected and could not bear to do so, or who were really not good enough to be sold as prostitutes—came to the camp and wandered around the camp, begging to join it.

"Is my life worth so much?" They will ask questions like, "Can I feed my mother, my brothers and sisters?" ”

"So, do you need to expand your camp for healthy women?" After listening to this, Lu Hangyu asked Lu Bai.

There was a rare trace of hesitation on Lu Bai's face.

"My sister said that as long as I can build a healthy women's camp and hold out for three months, I will be given weapons to the soldiers in the battalion."

"Not bad." She nodded, "Rattan cards, halberds, lances, ring-headed knives, and so on." ”

"I did want these things," she said, "but I don't want them now." ”

“…… Why? ”

"When I was a child, I was in the Xiliang Army, and I saw those soldiers practicing all kinds of weapons," she said, "but the female soldiers of my battalion couldn't do it." ”

Even if they are given weapons, they are naturally inferior to men in melee combat, and melee combat is the most morale-affecting thing.

If the shield men and swordsmen on the front line cannot block the onslaught from the opposite side, the entire front will inevitably fall into a rout. Lu Bai didn't know before, but she knows now.

Of course, Lu Hangyu also understood this, so she didn't urge this sister, but asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

"Sister give me some spears first," Lu Bai said, "That's cheap, as for ......"

She frowned, but didn't continue.

"Alright, I'll let the country do this," she smiled, "After this battle, Ah Bai has grown up, and I have to prepare a gift for you." ”

Lu Bai's eyes widened for a moment, "What gift?" ”

"You'll find out then." She said.

After Liu Bei invited guests, he issued some orders, for example, Langya Xiang Xiao Jian gave a fictitious title, Zang Ba was once too guarded by Boss Cao before, and when the official document of the court came down, Zang Ba was sincerely afraid and didn't dare to accept it, but Liu Yuzhou also affectionately asked him not to shirk again.

However, the East China Sea is so big, there should be no problem with adding an extra cavalry captain Tai Shici, Zang Ba will definitely understand, right?

…… Regardless of whether Zang Bali understood it or not, he seemed to understand it very well anyway, and quickly mingled with Tai Shici. Although Tai Shici looks down on Zang Ba's chameleon attributes, these two are both high EQ players, and they can't hook their shoulders and call them brothers and sisters when they drink, and they seem to be quite harmonious.

As for where the Bingzhou Army and Yanzhou immigrants are going, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao feel that it is very good to live in Xiaopei, anyway, Xiaopei is still in Yanzhou in the administrative area, and it is not too far from home to round, because they were fooled by Chen Gong, they lost half of it because they rebelled with Lu Bu, and the remaining half was rescued by Liu Bei and Lu Lian, so they cherished it very much, and they were not ready to follow Lu Bu out again.

So only Chen Gong's private soldiers and Lü Bu's Bingzhou army, totaling about 10,000 people, wanted to travel thousands of miles and return to Hanoi.

…… It is said that until the group of dogs returned to Xiaopei, they still did not talk about it. So this matter has become a long-term tug-of-war, every once in a while, Chen Gong will come to Liu Bei to negotiate, after a long time, it is said that some people muttered in private, thinking that Chen Gong did not think that the food here in the State Pastoral Mansion was delicious, so he had nothing to do and ran to eat.

…… I guess it's a misunderstanding.

She was half-hearted, thinking about her own affairs while holding a meeting with Tian Yu and Tai Shici.

Lu Bai's female soldiers are not good at close combat, what kind of weapon does she need to prepare for them, which can overcome the limit of strength and allow them to maximize their strength?

She had a vague shadow in her head, but she couldn't grasp it for the time being.

"Wait a minute?" She leaned on a few and used a small fork to fork a piece of melon to eat, and said coldly, "What did you just say?" ”

Tian Yu and Tai Shici glanced at each other, "...... Which sentence did the general ask? ”

"Xiao Jian is not Langya Xiang now?"

Langya County was changed to a country when Emperor Huan was in the reign of Emperor Huan, so the original county guard also became the minister of state, of course, there is no difference, everyone is used to mixing and calling, the problem is that Langya was originally the owner - that is, Xiao Jian.

And when Liu Bei stretched out his hand to Langya, it was inevitable that Xiao Jian's interests would be involved.
