Chapter 37: The Rebel Base
The wolves stood on a high place just like last time, watching Qin Yue. After walking for a while, Qin Yue looked back and saw that the wolf was still there looking at this side. Qin Yue let out a long howl and soon heard the wolves' response. Qin Yue was very emotional in her heart, and she was also a little moved.
Li Rugang became more and more unable to understand his righteous daughter, he couldn't think of how there could be so many mysteries in this little girl? He sometimes even thought, is this still the girl who haunted him when he was a child? He really can't believe it.
The guide regarded Qin Yue as a god, and only worshiped Qin Yue, and was more obedient.
Qin Yue was thinking about these wolves the most at this time, after so many days, they still remembered themselves and trusted themselves. She sometimes even thinks that the world of wolves may sometimes be easier to get along with than the human world, at least there is not so much deceit, there is not so much competition between you and me, and there are not so many intrigues...... Dealing with them, at least without so much scheming.
After walking a little longer in the dense forest, the guide said to Qin Yue and Li Rugang that this was the last time he arrived, and what was the situation going forward?
Li Rugang issued an order to stop the team temporarily, and he and Qin Yue went to the front to observe.
Qin Yue's opinion was that she would go first to reconnoitre, and Li Rugang's opinion was to simply disperse the people and search forward. The two of them were discussing, Qin Yue sensed the abnormality, and reached out to catch an arrow shot at Li Rugang.
Qin Yue sent out a palm in the air in the direction where the arrow came from, although he used enough internal force, due to the distance was too far, and the trees and branches in front of him blocked it, he could only hear the rustling of the branches and the sound of people running away.
Immediately after that, there was the sound of bullhorns from near to far, obviously transmitting a signal.
Li Rugang immediately commanded the army to attack the sound of the horns.
On the one hand, Qin Yue wanted to ensure the safety of the guides, and on the other hand, she was afraid that her father-in-law would have any accidents, so she didn't dare to leave them.
After the team rushed forward for a while, they saw that the soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another, and the wails and ** voices brought by pain were connected.
Qin Yue and Li Rugang rushed forward to take a look, and it turned out that most of them were caught in the traps used by hunters on their legs. Others fell into a well-arranged pit and were stabbed by bamboo sticks at the bottom of the pit. Obviously, the mysterious organization has a large number of mechanisms here.
Qin Yue asked her stepfather to gather the team and line up. She explores the path ahead. Everyone followed her, so that the march was much slower.
When I got out of this dense forest, a large clearing appeared in front of me. There are many houses built on the vacant land, and it looks like a large village.
Li Rugang led people to search every room, and all the rooms were empty. It was only in a few houses that resembled large warehouses that a large amount of grain, forage and other materials were found, and it seemed that this was a base for the rebels.
The rebels were in a hurry, and the supplies were not transported in time. Where did the traitors flee in such a short time?
The flat land was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there was a bottomless valley everywhere except in the direction in which they had attacked.
A temporary bridge in the middle of the valley has been destroyed by the evacuated rebels, and it is not possible to build the bridge again in a short time.
Li Rugang stood at the head of the destroyed bridge, with a sad face.
The assistant beside him looked at the map and said to him with joy: "Look, general, this is already the border of Shangzhou, and after that, it will not be our defense area." ”
After Li Rugang listened, he took the map and turned his worries into joy after carefully checking them.
He instructed the people around him to immediately write a report to the imperial court, saying that he had broken through the rebel base in Shangzhou and completely eliminated all the rebels.
At this time, Qin Yue was also by Li Rugang's side. He whispered to his father-in-law, "We didn't see any of us, but we found these empty houses." This mysterious organization is wandering everywhere, and it may come to Shangzhou again. You said that if you have eliminated all the traitors, you will be guilty of deception.
Li Rugang thought about it and felt that his daughter's words made sense.
After thinking for a while, he said to his assistant: "Let's just say that after a thorough investigation, we finally found the base of the rebels." After a fierce battle, most of the rebels were eliminated. Due to the complex terrain, some of the rebels have fled from Shangzhou. Seeing what Qin Yue wanted to say, Li Rugang said to Qin Yue: "Daughter! You don't understand this officialdom, you can make a lot of achievements out of nothing, and now my father-in-law has taken everyone with him and worked hard to crack the base of the rebels." ”
After listening to her father-in-law's words, Qin Yue didn't say anything more.
Some people asked for advice on what to do with these houses and grain and grass?
Li Rugang said that he couldn't get it away anyway, so he just burned it down.
Qin Yue hurriedly stopped it, still lowering her voice and saying to Li Rugang that the villagers here had run out of food. This grain was forcibly purchased by this mysterious organization from nearby villagers, and it was originally the food from the mouths of these nearby people, and it should be returned to the local people. This is also a meritorious thing, so why not do it?
Li Rugang said, of course, it is good to distribute it to the people, but the question is how to transport it out?
Qin Yue thought for a moment and said, "When we go out this time, we can bring some with each of us, and solve the urgent needs of the people first." The rest of the men and horses were left to garrison, and the local people themselves carried it, and as long as there was food, would they not be able to transport it? Besides, didn't these people bring in this grain and grass? There will always be a way. ”
Li Rugang felt that Qin Yue was reasonable, and he said that it was good to leave a team of people to garrison. It is also possible to garrison for a longer period of time, so as to prevent the rebels from returning.
Li Rugang took Qin Yue around everywhere, there is a water source here, there are so many houses and materials, it is also very convenient to leave a team of people to garrison and there is nothing missing.
Qin Yue found the guide and asked him if there was any way for the villagers to send food here. The guide said that everyone was worried about the lack of rice to cook. As long as there is food, no matter how much it is, the villagers have a way to transport it back. Just like planting crops, are there seedlings still worried about growing?
Li Rugang looked at the sky and decided to camp here for the night;
In the morning, Qin Yue got up early and hunted a few hares nearby. When Li Ru just got up, he saw Qin Yue roasting a hare.
Li Rugang smelled the fragrance and said, "There is something delicious this morning." ”
Qin Yue said that this roasted hare really can't be eaten this morning, "My father-in-law wants to eat roasted hares, and my daughter wants to eat as much as I want to roast for you another day, but not today, my daughter has another use." ”
Li Rugang couldn't think of any use for Qin Yue with these roasted hares? The roasted hare couldn't be eaten, although he was a little regretful, but he didn't say anything more.
After breakfast, Li Rugang left a team of people. The wounded soldiers, though not seriously wounded, stayed to recuperate. The rest of the men each carried a small bag of food, and the large army set out on the return journey. When he set off, Li Rugang did not forget to tell people to bring more ropes.
The return trip was much faster.
Walking to the territory of his wolf friend, Qin Yue let out a few long howls. Her wolf friends heard the sound and ran over.
Qin Yue took out the roasted hare, and her wolf friend ate it.
Li Rugang only then understood why Qin Yue got up early in the morning to roast the hare.
He jokingly said to Qin Yue: "This person is saying that relatives and friends are coming and going, do these wolf friends of yours also pay attention to these?"
Qin Yue said: "Father-in-law really made you right, they always have to have a plan to see you, and they will think about seeing you next time if you give it good food." Don't underestimate them, they're sensible!
There are still more wolves and less meat, these wolves quickly ate up the food, it seems that they haven't eaten enough, they haven't eaten enough, and they are still surrounding Qin Yue.
Qin Yue spread out her two hands, indicating that there was no more. They seem to understand, but after all, there are too few things, and they are still a little dissatisfied.
The head wolf circled around Qin Yue's front and back, as if he was coquettish, and he also seemed to complain, complaining that Qin Yue was missing things.
In this way, there was another pack of wolves in the team on the return journey. It's just that it's still Qin Yue wherever she goes, and they follow her. Almost to the place where they were found, they didn't leave, they still stood on a high place and watched Qin Yue.
Qin Yue confirmed more and more that this group of wolves had territory. Isn't this far from the last time she encountered them? Qin Yue couldn't tell. Do they also migrate due to the seasons and other reasons?
With the experience of coming, I made adequate preparations for the return trip, such as bringing enough rope. This makes the return journey much smoother and much faster.
When they arrived at the place where the carriages and horses were staying, Li Rugang gathered the grain that everyone had brought back. Send someone to call the people in charge of the village and ask them to come forward to organize and distribute the grain to the villagers.
The village is worried about the lack of rice, when has he ever seen the army send grain to the common people? Li Rugang has suddenly become a big savior here.
For many years, the people here still remember Li Rugang's kindness. Afterwards, Li Rugang couldn't imagine that he would have such a great blessing by doing such a little thing for the people, and he was full of emotion in his heart. I thought to myself, people still have to do more good deeds in this life. Yue'er said, wolves can remember the benefits of wolves, let alone people? Whether it is an official or a person in charge, he still has to work hard to do more good things for the people. If you can't do big things, you can do small things, and if you can't do more, you can do less. As long as you can do good things for the people, the people will not forget.
Of course, Li Rugang is also very grateful to Yue'er and his daughter, if she hadn't reminded her earlier, maybe these grains would have been burned by himself.
What moved him even more was that Yue'er always pushed all these good things on herself. One bite at a time, this is what my father-in-law set, and this is the first thing my father-in-law thought of.
Li Rugang said in his heart: "Yue'er is young, but she is much more sensible than ordinary people, and she is especially good at doing things. ”
Now Li Rugang, look at his daughter, how to look at it, how good it is, and where it is good. No wonder that Brother Qin of his own back then could do anything for his precious daughter? Yes, it will.
