At midnight, the sky darkened, and a blue-grey mist floated over the field.
After crossing half of Daqiu Lake, the military doctor and another soldier followed Zhao Hegen back to the camp.
Since the pursuers gave up midway, the ambush sent by Mr. Wang to Jianchungang on the south bank of Daqiu Lake was of no use.
When they returned, they happened to see the returning troops finishing their preparations.
The wounded have not returned, so the number of casualties must be reported to Mr. Wang face to face. This is Mr. Wang's rigid rule after taking up the army.
Zhao Hegen didn't want to go with him and wanted to go directly to the officer directly under him. Before leaving, he took a deep look at the military doctor, his eyes cold and warning.
The military doctor looked pale and lifeless all the way. He did not speak and turned around silently.
Tao Yinhe's guards have prepared their equipment for departure. The simpler the better, Mr. Wang is still in his camp, and there are three lieutenants with him.
The attack on Wuqu was about to be launched at night, so the ambush on Jianchungang was just a sideshow, but now Mr. Wang has been analyzing the surprise attack on Shuangpo Gorge.
When he heard that the military doctor had returned, Mr. Wang immediately summoned him. The military doctor's legs were so weak that he could hardly support him, and his back was covered in cold sweat. He took a few deep breaths before straightening his back and going in.
Tao Yinhe leaned there holding a soft pillow, listening to Mr. Wang's analysis.
If you get closer, you will find that he is actually about to fall asleep.
Mr. Wang turned his back to everyone, looking at the map of Huazhou on the wooden board, holding a wooden pole in his right hand, talking thoughtfully, pointing and drawing.
But what I am talking about is not Wuqu, but Shuangpo Gorge, and the ancient mountain peaks and official roads outside Huazhou that are linked to Zuilu.
Hearing the footsteps, Mr. Wang turned around. The military doctor did not dare to look into his eyes and immediately lowered his head: "Mr. Wang."
"Is that wounded man OK?" Mr. Wang said.
"Um……"
Mr. Wang sighed softly and looked at the disciple on the side: "His posthumous affairs are of the third level."
"Yes." The disciple responded, took out a pen and paper and wrote it down in his notebook.
"Tell me about the wound." Mr. Wang said.
The military doctor nodded and spoke out the prepared words.
He had already examined the wounded man's wounds, and it was not a problem to give details. In addition, he had carefully considered his words on the road, so he was calm now.
"It's hard for you." Mr. Wang sighed again.
Tao Yinhe hugged the pillow and looked at him.
Mr. Wang rarely sighs, but he sighed the most today.
It didn't look like he was sighing in vain, but he was really sad. It's hard for this heartless person to still have such emotions.
The military doctor said "hmm" and didn't answer.
"But, it doesn't make sense," Mr. Wang looked back at the map behind him, "Why would the other party give up such a huge temptation?"
"Mr. Wang, can you change your wording?" Tao Yinhe said.
"They were so uncontrollable that they swarmed up after hearing the word Shen Lie. They didn't even observe for more than half a day, which shows their recklessness and lack of plan. But when they were chasing our soldiers and horses, our dwarf soldiers didn't even pass by. They were chasing us at that time.
They were just a group of defeated soldiers, so why didn’t they continue?”
Tao Yinhe: "Don't chase poor bandits."
"No," Mr. Wang shook his head, "If they really care about Shen Lie so much, they should pursue and fight hard. At least they need to capture one alive and go back for questioning. But, they stopped chasing?"
Tao Yinhe frowned and stretched out a hand to support his cheek.
"Could it be that there was some advice from an expert?" Mr. Wang looked back at the map and traced his fingers along several rivers. "The description of General Li's talents shows that those people are not Song Zhiyi's, so they belong to the Guo family."
"The Guo family has been kind to us," Tao Yinhe said. "When the general was trapped in Peifeng, it was Guo Shu who turned the tide and raised supplies for us."
"The Guo family has great talents," Mr. Wang seemed not to have heard what he said, and kept talking to himself, "The Guo family has been established for thousands of years, and is by no means a crane that can't dance... Also, this time they are recruiting troops in Shuangpo Gorge. Ma, the person they have to deal with is Shen Lie, how could they not send out first-class people?"
Tao Yinhe felt that he couldn't keep up with his rhythm: "Sir, what exactly do you want to say? One moment, you say that the other party is brave and foolhardy, and the next moment, you say that the other party is waiting for you?"
"This is the scary thing," Mr. Wang turned back to look at Tao Yinhe, "What is this called? This is called freedom of movement. General Tao, what kind of dog is the scariest?"
"It's fierce."
"No, they are fierce and obedient," Mr. Wang said in a deep voice. "We say they are brave and foolhardy, but they can stop talking and remain unmoved in the face of deserters running around. There are experts in the army."
Tao Yinhe nodded.
"That's true," Mr. Wang sighed, "Shen Lie was raised by the Guo family, and the few guards around Shen Lie were also raised by the Guo family. It will be difficult to avenge this revenge."
"Revenge?" Tao Yinhe frowned, "What grudge do we have against the Guo family?"
Mr. Wang solemnly said: "Killing my good generals and crippling my soldiers regardless of the reason, isn't this hatred?"
"But we don't know the other party is us."
"Killing someone is killing someone, and you have to pay the price no matter what. These soldiers came out with Wang, and Wang will be responsible for their lives and wealth! People can die, but they can't die in vain! Especially our own soldiers !”
The military doctor on the side tried to listen calmly, but his face became even paler. The wounded man's intense eyes for survival appeared in front of his eyes, and he wondered what his current situation was.
Tao Yinhe shook his head, with an equally serious expression: "This matter is indeed a misunderstanding. If you really want to go to war with the Guo family, you need to ask Zheng Bei for instructions. I will explain the ins and outs when I go back this time. The military advisor cannot talk to Guo before I send a letter. People at home take action."
"The general is saying that our people died in vain?"
"Explanation is necessary, but the grace of rescue must not be forgotten."
"I know everything Zheng Bei said," Mr. Wang sneered. "It's a waste of time to settle the matter."
"Sir." Tao Yinhe said in a deep voice.
Mr. Wang raised his eyebrows, and suddenly his face changed, revealing Tao Yinhe's familiar smile.
"That's all, the overall situation is more important," Mr. Wang turned around with a smile, moved the map to the other side, and looked at Wuqu on the map, "Tonight, let's eat this piece first!"
Tao Yinhe looked at the map and then at Mr. Wang, knowing that this matter would not go away so easily.
Mr. Wang has always despised the lives of others. If necessary, if necessary soldiers sacrifice themselves, he will never be soft or blink an eye.
However, he also holds grudges, and he will definitely retaliate against anyone who offends him.
Tao Yinhe was afraid that Mr. Wang would do something immediately after leaving the military camp this time.
In the past, Zhao Tang could have helped to stop him, but now the dead and injured are all Zhao Tang's people, including Zhao Tang's confidant Chen Lifu.
As for Zhu Pei, although he is calm and taciturn, he is also a person that makes Tao Yinhe worried, because Zhu Pei is good at everything, but he is jealous and easy to kill.
Shen Lie, Shen Lie, Tao Yinhe lowered his head and looked at his legs, why did you hurt me like this!
