Chapter 0078 - Soldiers and Horses

The spring breeze swept across his cheeks from time to time, and the groggy Zhao Bufan felt that he was moving quickly!

Although he was in a state of confusion, he could still perceive the things around him, he knew that Shi Wengong was blocking Brother Yeluqing, and he knew that Su Ding was running behind him, but he couldn't open his mouth and couldn't speak, now he was too weak, in a semi-comatose state, and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth.

I don't know how long it took, streams of cool liquid dripped into my mouth, it was very cold, and the juice flowed down my throat into my body, making my hot heart and stomach feel cold.

It made him a lot more comfortable.

The cool breeze blew on his cheeks again, and he felt Su Ding carry himself forward again, but the boundless sleepiness also followed, he was unable to support it, and fell asleep dizzily.

Silence, lasting silence!

I don't know how long later, when Zhao Bufan regained consciousness again, he felt that his body was not as hot as before, and his perception of the surrounding environment was clearer, but he still couldn't open his mouth to speak, his mouth was as heavy as a thousand catties, and he couldn't open it.

Stop-and-go, wake up!

Sometimes Zhao Bufan felt that Su Ding seemed to be fighting with someone, and sometimes he felt the cold juice flowing into his mouth, although he couldn't figure out the specific situation, he could feel that his body was getting better rapidly, his body was no longer hot, and his body temperature was gradually lowering.

I don't know how long it took, he felt that he had arrived in a crowded place, the noisy footsteps, the excited shouts of the soldiers, kept pouring into his ears, and even vaguely heard Li Miao's concerned inquiry.

At this time, his heart was completely let go, his spirit was relaxed, and he fell asleep.

Three days later, Zhao Bufan woke up, his spirit was much better, and he could even speak.

Seeing this, the guards guarding him immediately rushed out of the camp tent, and soon hurried with Li Miao, Su Ding and others.

Li Miao walked in the front, looking very nervous, and when he walked to Zhao Bufan's bedside, he immediately asked with concern: "How does Bufan feel?"

Zhao Bufan barely squeezed out a smile, and his voice was dry.

"Thank you Lord Li for your concern, it's good!"

"That's good, that's good!!" Li Miao breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zhao Bufan was worried about the battle situation, and when he took a breath of relief, he didn't care that he was still very weak, so he immediately asked strongly: "My lord, how is the war in Song Liao?"

Li Miao didn't rush to answer, he personally stepped forward to pick up the quilt that had slipped under the bed, and carefully covered Zhao Bufan.

"Extraordinary, you recuperate with peace of mind, the war is going well, since you burned the grain and grass of the Liao army, their military heart is floating, I organized the soldiers to launch two raids, and they have rushed back to Yijin Pass and Waqiao Pass, although it is not a big victory, but the battle situation is still dominant, I have ordered the soldiers to build the North Wolf Village in the dangerous area, and intend to use this place as the frontier to resist the Liao State in the future, if the Liao State wants to send troops south from Yijin Pass and Waqiao Pass, then it is inevitable to defeat here. ”

"The location chosen by Lord Li is North Wolf Slope?" Zhao Bufan asked.

"Exactly!" Li Miao nodded with a smile.

Zhao Bufan gasped lightly and said: "Master Li is really proficient in wisdom like a torch, after the loss of Yijin Pass and Waqiao Pass, this North Wolf Slope is indeed the most suitable defense point, it is best to build Sanzhai and take a joint defense strategy to completely curb the road of the Liao army to the south!"

"As you said!" Li Miao looked into Zhao Bufan's eyes, and the two looked at each other, feeling a little sympathetic to each other.

After a while, Li Miao smiled and continued: "Seeing that you are fine, my heart is also put down, your safety is more important than breaking Liao, you are the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, although you and I have slightly different strategic concepts, but this does not prevent me from appreciating you, I hope you can recover as soon as possible, and I hope you can defend Bazhou with me in the future!"

"Huh?" Zhao Bufan's eyes showed slight doubt. "My lord, this is ......"

Li Miao said with a smile: "You still don't know, according to the latest intelligence, the Liao army has a very serious shortage of food, they have been at war with the Jin State in the north for many years, and the treasury is very empty, the grain and grass you burned this time is the supply of the Liao army for the next month or so, and their original idea was to make a desperate bet to feed the war, but they can lose the most basic food and grass supply, and their army cannot maintain it at all, so in this battle of Bazhou, you attacked the grain and grass in one fell swoop, which can be described as a stabbing of life by mistake."

Now that the Liao soldiers have retreated to Yijin Pass and Waqiao Pass, we have successfully blocked the Liao soldiers from moving south, and you should be the first to do so. A few days ago, I have already played for your majesty's meritorious service, and your majesty personally issued an edict to promote you to the commander of the Bazhou soldiers and horses, to assist me in commanding the soldiers and horses of Bazhou, and also to set up a forbidden army in Bazhou, with a military strength of one army, and you can also serve as the commander of the military capital, and you can draw and form the army from all over the country!"

"Is this true?" Zhao Bufan instantly propped himself up excitedly, but he pulled the wound without thinking, and the wrapped white gauze instantly turned red, making him gasp in pain.

"Don't be excited!" Li Miao hurriedly helped him lie down, and blamed him with a slight smile: " The wounds on your body are far more serious than they seem, pay attention to the injury, I don't want to make the Great Song Dynasty lose its good talent because of a word, although we disagree, but since I heard the cause and effect of the grain robbery that day, I firmly believe that you must be the future of the Great Song Dynasty, with the courage of your first soldier, the benevolence of your subordinates, the courage to break when decided, the decision to die generously, and the reason to advance and retreat in an orderly manner, which is exactly the talent that a famous general should have, and you are still so young, there are still many possibilities for your future!

The soldiers under my command have always been arrogant and look down on a few people, but the more than 200 people who came back from stealing food with you talk about you every day, and they are full of admiration when you don't come back, and when Su Ding comes back with you on his back, they are all in tears, and they wait outside your camp for a day and a night, until the medical officer is sure that your life is not in danger, and then they go back. The eyes of the soldiers are bright, no one is a fool, what do you do as a general, they can see it, so they obey you and love you, except for the few strong troops of the Zhejia Army in the entire Great Song Dynasty, how many people can make the soldiers willing to follow to die?"

Zhao Bufan was a little embarrassed by these words, and smiled awkwardly: "Master Li, in fact, I don't want to die, I am not as brave as you praised, when robbing grain, if it is not a last resort, I will not choose so much, every choice is forced to be helpless!

After hearing this, Li Miao instantly burst out laughing, gently rubbed his beard and said: "Who in the world is not afraid of death? Who wants to die for no reason? Isn't the important thing is your choice at the critical moment?"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Bufan deeply again, and turned around happily to leave.

"I won't bother you, take care of your injuries!"

"Greetings, sir!"

After Li Miao walked out of the tent with other generals, Su Ding stepped forward with a slightly excited face.

Zhao Bufan looked at him, and thanked him forcefully: "Su Ding, I am you and Wen Gong who carried it off the battlefield and dragged it out of the pile of dead, this love will always be in my heart!"

Su Ding smiled and shook his head: "Owner, you treat us well, this is our duty!"

"Good brother, I, Zhao Bufan, will never fail you in this life!"

With a few words, Zhao Bufan's heart was spoken, he was really grateful to Su Ding and Shi Wengong, if it weren't for the two of them trying their best to protect each other, he would definitely die!

Su Ding didn't say anything more, he didn't know what to say if he wasn't good at expressing himself, he just smiled.

Zhao Bufan didn't want to be too embarrassed, so he silently kept this feeling in his heart, and quickly asked: "By the way, how is Wen Gong now? Can you come back safely? And how long has it been since I was injured? Why did the Battle of Bazhou end so quickly?"

Su Ding pondered silently for a moment, frowned and said: "Wen Gong returned two days earlier than us, the **** stopped Brother Yelu Qing and let me go first with the owner on my back, but I didn't think that more chasing soldiers came one after another, although he was higher than Brother Yelu Qing's martial arts, but after all, he was outnumbered, in order to prevent the Liao soldiers from catching up with us, he led the Liao soldiers to flee to the other side, although there was some thrilling and not a light injury, but he still came back safely."

The subordinates were supposed to come back first with the owner on their backs, but because they had to find herbs for the owner along the way to reduce fever, they walked slowly, and they also met the masters of the Liao State on the way, so they went around and around, and they were delayed in the mountains for several days, plus Lord Li took advantage of the situation to march, and the army's movements were erratic, and I couldn't keep up with the army for a while, so it took nearly 20 days to find here, at this time the owner's injuries had deteriorated, even though I had tried my best to treat the wounds along the way, but it was still inflamed and infected.

Fortunately, Master Li summoned all the medical officers in time and issued a death order, which forced the medical officers to do their best, but the owner's condition recurred several times, and it took more than ten days to really stabilize, so more than a month has passed before and after. ”

"More than a month?" Zhao Bufan's eyes widened, a little dazed.

Hearing that Shi Wengong was fine, he was very relieved, but thinking of the past month or so, his pale face instantly added a little sadness.

He lay on the bed, staring at the top of the tent in a daze, and did not speak for a long time.

Su Ding saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, and asked strangely: "Zhuang Lord, this Liao army has retreated, as long as the North Wolf Village builds a framework as soon as possible, has the ability to defend, and forces the Liao army not to advance lightly, even if this battle is over, why is the Zhuang owner still so worried?"

Zhao Bufan smiled bitterly: "I understand this, with Lord Li here, it is difficult for the Liao soldiers to fight, I am not worried now, as for the battle situation in Cangzhou and Qingzhou, I can't reach it, and it is useless to worry." I'm thinking about money right now, if I count the days you said, I still have more than a month at most, and if I can't get enough money, I will face many, many problems, and it's not easier than fighting a war!"

"Money?"

Su Ding was puzzled, thought for a while and said: "Zhuang Master, if it is a matter of Juxian Village, then we all save some money, it is okay not to pay for the time being, the brothers will not say anything, with your ability to Zhuang Zhuang, sooner or later there will be a way to solve it, and now you should take care of your injuries!"

"Alas, it's not a matter of Yulu, it's a million, I need to get together a million!" Zhao Bufan sighed helplessly.

Su Dingru was hit hard, and said, "One million?"

"Yes!" Zhao Bufan sighed, unable to speak anymore.

This is really a hero who is sad about the money, even though Zhao Bufan and Su Ding can go back and forth on the battlefield without frowning, but they are alone by this money!

Su Ding was bored for a long time, and finally whispered weakly: "Owner, I can't help with this, let alone a million yuan, before I went to the owner, I was already satisfied if I could earn three or five yuan a month, and I really couldn't do anything!"

Zhao Bufan saw his pitiful appearance in the face of money, and smiled and comforted: "You don't have to think about it, I will find a way to deal with money, you can eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, it will be fine soon, don't be embarrassed to think about things you don't understand at all!"

"Alas!" sighed, and Su Ding didn't say anything more.
