Chapter 804: Meeting old friends

Shi Wei likes to eat dried fish, which was cultivated by Su You when she was a child. The memory of childhood food will stay with a person for a lifetime.

Therefore, Su You specially fried small kingfish for Shi Wei, and also made a charcoal-grilled shredded squid, and the rest were home-cooked dishes.

Shi Wei smiled and said: "I haven't had it for a long time. There are a lot of seafood in Bianjing now, but it's not as delicious as yours."

Su You gave Shi Wei a serving of kelp and old duck soup: "Then you eat more. This old duck is a sea duck. It grew up eating snails and clams on the beach. It tastes good and cannot be eaten in Kyoto."

Shi Wei pursed her lips and smiled, then said seriously: "Brother Xiaoyou, I thought about it, the Western Army will cross the Nanling Mountains from June to July, and they may run into trouble, so it's best to prepare all the medicine.

"

Su You said: "Hasn't the medicine been distributed?"

Shi Wei shook his head: "Some living habits can't be changed by simply changing them. It's better to be prepared and not get into trouble than to be unprepared if something happens."

Su You suddenly realized: "Yes!"

Then I thought: "But the journey is too far."

Shi Wei said: "Then I can send you as far as you want."

Su You calculated it: "I will let Wu Kui and the others guard Kunlun Pass and wait for the army to arrive. The medicine will be sent there when the time comes. Wu Kui and the others are half experts in dealing with miasma."

"Yeah." Shi Wei nodded: "That's good."

After dinner, Su You asked Shi Wei to rest, and then he went to arrange the logistics of the army and what Shi Wei reminded him. When he came back at dusk, he saw Ping Zhengsheng limping over and asking for armor.

"What are you..."

"I asked Grandma Xian for advice on swordsmanship."

Su You said: "That won't help you. Wei'er's swordsmanship is very light. Back then there was a big man named Fan Longshan who was invincible on the battlefield, but she couldn't take more than three moves."

"The bigger and bulkier you are, the more miserable your death will be. So you're not wearing a helmet, you're committing suicide."

Ping Zhengsheng: "..."

In March, Guo Kui began to move south.

With the whole body mobilized, Shaanxi's military strength was weakened, allowing the Qingtang people to see an opportunity.

At Jimao, Guozhuang, the leader of Zonggar of the Tibetan tribe in the Qing Dynasty, led his troops to attack Wumou Valley. Han Cunbao, under the jurisdiction of Xihe Qian, defeated them.

In 1911, when Maozhou was surrounded by barbarians, Cai Yanqing, the governor of Chengdu, begged to send troops from Shaanxi to aid Maozhou.

Zhao Xu summoned Gao Zunyu Jingzhi and ordered Cai Yanqing to be cautious in his affairs and not to leave Chengdu lightly.

In view of the severe situation after the troops were mobilized from the northwest, the imperial court revived Zhong'e and appointed him as deputy envoy of protocol to inform Minzhou.

In April, Guimao, an order was issued to the Guangnan Transportation and Appeasement Department to investigate and count the dead soldiers and civilians who were damaged by thieves, and to discuss relief.

Also in this month, Wu Kui led the Yiyong to appear in the north of Yongzhou and easily captured the natural danger of Kunlun Pass.

Zhao Xu issued an edict to restore Guang Rui's regular army designation and ordered Su You to properly supply military supplies.

In May, another hero was born in Guangxi.

When Li Changjie retreated, the scholar Xu Boxiang organized a raid by Tuding, killing a team of 20 people who were escorting the people back to Jiaozhi, and rescued nearly a thousand people.

Zhao Xu gave him the same background as a Jinshi, the right minister Jin, Qin, Lian, and Baizhou inspection.

On Jiachen, Xiang Kong reported his name to Guo Kui, Annan's camp, in order to recruit him and reward him for his merits.

The generals who died in Guangxi were sent to Guangxi because of official duties, so they ordered all the people to recruit brave men to go to Guangxi.

The first volunteer force to arrive was the Kuizhou Volunteer Army. After this force arrived at Kunlun Pass, the Guangrui Army moved forward and conquered Yongzhou.

When Renshen and Guo Kui's leading troops began to cross the Nanling Mountains, Zhao Xu issued an edict: "If any of the Annan troops are sick when they cross the mountain range, they will be treated as soon as they arrive."

In June of the ninth year of Xining, Guo Kui's Chinese army began to leave Tanzhou and march towards Guizhou.

The progress of the troops was too slow, and Zhao Xu couldn't sit still. He wrote an edict to remind Guo Kui: "Annan's move must be carried out as quickly as possible. Your Majesty and others can better organize the country, make more careful plans, and gather the public's opinions. Urgently

It will be destroyed in time, and China will be strengthened by respecting it, so that the border areas will know how to control it."

An internal edict was also issued to Su You, requiring him to take over the government affairs after Guo Kui pacified Jiaozhi and "set up prefectures and counties" there according to the administrative organization of the "inland".

This was a secret order, and Zhao Xu was so frightened by the ability of his ancestors to beat them to pieces that he almost had a genetic disease, so he did not dare to say it openly.

However, this time's instructions put forward the strategic principle of quick victory and quick resolution.

But Guo Kui is still very cautious. His plan is to wait until the end of summer and early autumn before arriving in Guizhou. Otherwise, the horrible weather in the south can kill half of the troops and civilians!

Su You fully agreed with Guo Kui's decision and told him to take his time and not to rush, as long as he could reach Guizhou in autumn. At the same time, he sent a large amount of cooling medicine and astragalus, and told him to be careful of mosquitoes when passing through Lingnan.

In case of malaria and dysentery, we will strictly implement the hygiene, food and accommodation regulations summarized by Guang Ruijun, and we will not be afraid of any cruelty, and we must save the lives of the sergeants.

As for Zhao Xu's impatience, there is no need to worry. Su You sent Zhiqin Prefecture Renqi and, together with Sun Neng, led troops to attack Yushan Village in Yong'an Prefecture, Jiaozhi and occupied it. They became the first army to invade the Jiaozhi Kingdom.

I gave Zhao Xu an explanation.

At the same time, south of Jiaozhi, Champa and Chenla, instigated by Suyou, invaded the territory of Jiaozhi, and small-scale battles broke out between the three parties.

Li Changjie had no choice but to leave a small number of troops to garrison Taipingzhai, gave up occupying most of the Song Dynasty's territory, and returned to quell the provocations of the two countries.

In July, Guo Kui finally arrived in Guizhou.

As soon as the Song army crossed Nanling, an epidemic began to appear in the army. Now Guo Kui did not dare to delay any longer. He ordered his sergeants to speed up the march and asked Su You for help.

Su You asked them to grit their teeth and persevere and rush to Yongzhou for repairs.

He had sent Di Yong to reoccupy Qinzhou and transported medical supplies there by sea.

It is simple to transfer Qinzhou to Yongzhou by land, which is only two hundred miles away.

Moreover, after being reminded by Shi Wei, Su You had already stockpiled a large amount of medicines at Kunlun Pass. The Guangrui Army stationed at Kunlun Pass was already experienced in dealing with these diseases, and now they were just in time to respond.

What made Su You dumbfounded was that the letter sent by Guo Kui mentioned that the proportion of Han people among the wounded was much higher than the proportion of Tibetan people.

No matter how you look at this matter, it seems weird. This shouldn't be the case. Is it just because the Tibetan people have better physiques than the Han people?

It wasn't until Su You and Shi Wei rushed to Kunlun Pass and saw Guo Kui that they knew what was going on.

It turns out that in the eyes of the Tibetan people, Suyou is the master of Yixi Weishe, the light and wisdom. The Tibetan people have devoutly carried out the oral instructions conveyed by the guru, drinking boiled water and never drinking cold water, making sure that mosquito nets never leak, and making diligent

Take a shower and change clothes frequently... Okay, this is still a bit inferior, but it is definitely better than the Han sergeants.

The result is that the Tibetan people's implementation of health regulations is much better than that of the Han people!

Even Guo Kui is making excuses, is there any reason left?!

This time Guo Kui brought an army of 60,000 to Kunlun Pass and shed a layer of skin.

There was no other way, the troops could only order repairs and wait for the cool weather.

Su You had too many old acquaintances in the army. Among the generals below Guo Kui and Zhao Man, many of them were subordinates of the Zhong family, including Yanda, Miao Lu, Zhang Shiju, and Wang Min. When Zhong Wu was unlucky, it was Su who

The oil was fished out one by one.

At the next level, the army has been mobilized over the years, and many of the Han and Han soldiers who fought with him on the expedition have now become the backbone of the army.

For example, Wang Er, who pestered Lao Zhang to learn the crane-shank crossbow, and later retreated to Dun'an Village to attack the Xixia people first, also suffered a headache.

This kid had received a medal from Su You himself. When he saw Su You and Shi Wei, he excitedly bowed his head and prostrated: "The villain, Weizhou Volunteer King Er, pays homage to Shi Zhonglang!"

Su You stretched out his hand halfway to help, but it turned out that the person being worshiped was not him, but Wei'er beside him!

This is so embarrassing!

Shi Wei was also very happy these days. Many of Zhang Shiju and Wang Min's elite cavalrymen rushed through the formation with her. Now when they saw Wang Er, they smiled and said: "Oh, you are not my subordinate back then. You

It's from brother Xiaoyou."

Wang Er kowtowed again: "If Shi Zhonglang had not collided with Xia Zhuzhong's army in time, this villain's life would have been lost in Dun'an Village. Wang Er will always remember Shi Zhonglang's life-saving grace."
