As the war approached, Xiao Han couldn't help but get busy, constantly bringing his family guards to train the auxiliary soldiers and the people in the city.
The boiling salt operation has been completely abandoned, and all the people have been transferred back. They are either training before the war, or learning how to treat the wounded. If there is no damage in a big war, it is really a dream.
The land of Jiuqu has now become a place where scouts from both sides compete. Xiao Han's logistics camp will receive several injuries from time to time, all of which were injured in battles with local scouts. The dripping blood also allowed the proud Tang soldiers to win a victory.
A lot more awake.
Xiao Lizi has not been seen for several days. On the contrary, Changsun Shunde often comes to the logistics camp to encourage the injured scout.
And through him, Xiao Han also knew that they had pried out from Yin Shijie the main reason for Wang Shichong's bold westward march: Dou Jiande in Shandong was now restrained by Luo Yi in the north and had no time to take care of Wang Shichong.
As a result, Xiao Han knew that a war was inevitable. In the past two days, he could only do his best to treat the wounded and train auxiliary troops.
In front of Xiao Han, another seriously injured soldier died.
Several people carried the young body and carefully walked around from behind the Marquis. Everyone knew that the young Marquis always did not want to see dead people and would get angry every time he saw them! But in a war, there is no way to survive.
human...
Xiao Han sat facing a willow tree, as if he wanted to see where the ant on the tree trunk was going to crawl. Several willow branches that had just sprouted buds brushed in front of Xiao Han, disturbing his sight.
Angrily, he grabbed the swaying willow branches and tried to pull them off, but it was in vain. There were no tough willow branches that he could pull off.
Someone died again, and he was still so young. Yesterday, I promised him that when he recovered from his injury, I would invite him to go to Chang'an with us and go shopping in Pingkangfang... It's a pity that he still didn't survive last night.
"It would be nice if I had a drink of wine..." Xiao Han let go of the willow branch and sat down slowly, suddenly wanting to drink a drink of wine. After all this time, the only thing he could do was get drunk.
"Give!"
A wine gourd was handed over to him, and Xiao Han subconsciously reached out to catch it. Only when he received it did he feel something was wrong, and looked up to see who was coming.
"King Qin, why are you here?" Xiao Han was a little surprised.
Li Shimin was still so calm and composed, even in the logistics camp where wailing could often be heard, his expression remained unchanged.
Patting Xiao Han's shoulder, Li Shimin sat cross-legged next to him regardless of the dust on the floor, and then said: "I heard that you have been in a bad mood these past few days and have scolded several soldiers. I'm going to come and see you.
Look at you."
Xiao Han gave a bitter smile, lowered his head and shook the gourd, listening to the sound of rushing water inside, and said: "It's my fault too. I always want them to learn first aid as soon as possible, so I can't help but get a little temperamental. I also know that in the past two days,
Xiaodong is far away from me."
"Haha..." Li Shimin smiled and took the gourd from Xiao Han's hand, took off the plug, raised his neck and took a sip, then handed it to Xiao Han and said: "Don't be impatient, come and have a drink! Your authentic Xiao Mansion wine!"
When we win this time, we will celebrate!"
"Xiao Mansion's fine wine?" Xiao Han held the gourd and smelled the wine inside carefully. Suddenly he raised his head and looked at Xiao Lizi strangely: "Why do you have my wine? I remember that we didn't bring any wine with us before we came here.
!”
"I didn't bring it with me, but can we just have someone give it to us later?"
"What? Send?!" When Xiao Han heard this, he stood up in a hurry, stared at Xiao Lizi in surprise, and said anxiously: "What do you mean? We have reinforcements coming?!"
Li Shimin smiled happily: "Sure enough, he is smart! In fact, a few days ago, I wrote to my father, asking him to send reinforcements! Wang Shichong's troops stationed in Luoyang are too great a threat to us! I must fight to end his thoughts!
Let him go east or south, but he cannot attack our Tang Dynasty!"
"But they have 100,000 troops. Even if we come to reinforce, there won't be many..."
After Xiao Han was briefly happy, he immediately thought of another point. Although he was not a general, he still had some idea of how many people he had.
Li Shimin stood up, his curved waist gradually straightening, like a peerless sword unsheathed, and his whole body exuded strong self-confidence, just like the old willow tree in front of him.
"War is not about having more wars than anyone else!"
Li Shimin left, leaving only a jug of fine wine.
A soldier who was delivering the order cautiously approached Xiao Han. Just as he was about to speak, he smelled a strange fragrance.
"Oh, it smells so good!"
Xiao Han looked at Xiao Lizi's back and burst into laughter. The worries of the past two days disappeared instantly in front of Li Shimin's strong self-confidence. He looked at the gourd in his hand and threw it to the soldier standing beside him.
"You're rewarded!"
The greedy and drooling soldier hurriedly caught the gourd, nodded and bowed with a charming smile: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the reward, thank you, Lord Marquis..."
A gourd of wine in exchange for a bunch of flattering words, this business is profitable no matter what. After flicking the dust on his clothes, Xiao Han asked the soldier playing with the wine gourd: "What, what do you want to see me for?"
"Oh! Mr. Hou, someone outside said he knows you and wants to see you."
"who?"
"A young man seems to be called a fool?"
"Who? Fool!!" Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then jumped up suddenly and ran towards the camp gate!
The soldier who was delivering the order, holding the wine gourd, looked at the fast-running Marquis in surprise, wondering why he had such a big reaction.
"Hey, never mind! Maybe it's an old acquaintance of the Marquis, but this wine tastes really good! If you and your brother have a little drink tonight, you won't be caught by the military judge..."
At the entrance of the logistics camp, a bored fool was kicking pebbles. What kind of a shabby place is this? Why did he have to report the sight of his own marquis? Where did Xiaodong, Uncle and the others go? It's useless for me to come here in such a hurry.
There was no one to greet him!
Just as he was muttering, the stone under his feet bounced to the side. Just as he was about to kick it back, a figure suddenly appeared from the door.
"Lunzi! It's you! Why are you here!" Lunzi saw a dark shadow flash at the door, and Xiao Han burst out laughing. When they met, they gave him a big hug, which made Lunzi confused.
I'm almost stupid, I don't know whether I should greet him or give him a hug!
"Huh? Why are you alone? Who did you come with? You won't come alone, right? What are you doing here? Are you at home... just talk!"
A series of questions were thrown out from Xiao Han's mouth one after another. Before the poor fool could get over the first question, he was successfully confused by other questions.
"Master Hou, please slow down and ask, I, I can't remember..."
"Hey, idiot! Come in, come in, speak slowly!"
Without any explanation, Xiaodong pulled the fool into the logistics camp. Xiaodong raised his head and saw Xiao Han while holding the basket. He was about to turn around and sneak away. But he suddenly saw the fool beside Xiao Han. In an instant, the basket slipped to the ground, with a pile of things inside.
The ointment and sticks rolled everywhere.
"You fool! Why are you here! When did you come? With whom? What are you here for? Is there something at home?"
Come on, the master and the servant even asked the same questions!
He dragged the fool into an unoccupied room and filled him with a large bowl of water. After drinking enough water, the fool gathered his words and slowly explained the reason to the master and servant who were as anxious as curious babies.
People explain clearly.
It turned out that just after the medicine mountain outside the city was rewarded to Xiao Han, the family began to recruit people and prepared to accept it. After all, one's own family's property could not survive without one's own family to look after it!
However, during the current war time, it was very inconvenient for people to travel due to the chaos of war. However, Zhang Qiang later found out from somewhere that Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army and more than 10,000 soldiers were rushing to Xiazhou City.
Butler Lu directly sent them to follow the army. The fool rushed ahead because he was impatient. It was estimated that it would take two days for the remaining people to arrive.
