No one dared to attack Li Xiao, who was as fierce and furious as a hungry wolf, and no one wanted to stop him.
The tragic death of General Li Ji to Zhou Sui Daodong was a near-fatal blow to the Jiaodong Army. Only by killing Zhou Sui's group can all shame and hatred be completely washed away.
Li Xiao gave an order to the east, and thousands of people immediately divided into three groups and pursued them closely.
More than 10,000 bandits were killed or injured and fled, and now there were more than a thousand people left in Bu Nao. The strength of the Jiaodong Army was far superior to that of the other side, so they had an advantage in whether they could divide their forces to pursue them.
Along the way, from time to time we would catch up with some bandits who had no time to escape. The soldiers of the Jiaodong Army killed each one on sight, leaving no one alive.
On the fourth day of pursuit, the Xiaoqi battalion of Marquis Zhongyong also arrived.
The long march and trek made the Xiaoqi battalion quite exhausted in Dongfang. Now, when Dongfang was about to pursue the bandits, he had to pursue them with all his strength.
Marquis Zhongyong saw Li Xiao, glanced at him, and frowned: "I, the general, will lead the troops in pursuit. I will stop east immediately and rest for a few months before pursuing again."
At this time, Li Xiao's physical strength was severely exhausted, and he relied on Ye Chang's mental energy to hold on. In those few months, the injury on his back had been stretched twice, and he had lost a lot of blood, and his face was pale. If he goes east like that again, let alone
To hunt down Zhou Sui, you have to answer the question first.
Li Xiao refused to leave and said: "The old home of the Zhou and Sui Dynasties is in Qinglong Mountain in Pingyuan County. The last general has been in Qinglong Mountain and the Zhou and Sui Dynasties, so he is familiar with the terrain there. The last general can hold on, and I am willing to do it for you."
The general choked on Ma Xi."
Zhongyong hummed, walked up to Li Xiao, stretched out his leg suddenly, and hit Li Xiao on the back of the neck.
Li Xiao suddenly fainted.
A few soldiers went forward to support Li Xiao. Then they heard Zhongyong Hou say in a deep voice: "This general has given me an order. Those soldiers of the Jiaodong Army who still have physical strength should continue to pursue them. Those who are injured or exhausted should repair where they are. We will
A few of you, take good care of Li Xiao."
The soldiers responded with red eyes.
Marquis Zhongyong gave an order to the east, and the Xiaoqi battalion also divided into three groups and continued to pursue the bandits.
Xu San led three hundred soldiers and followed Zhongyong Hou all the time. Along the way, Xu San was always by Zhongyong Hou's side. Zhongyong Hou admired the taciturn and strong-legged Xu San, and secretly looked at his eldest son and sighed: "
Is Xu San the right choice for everything? Hey, hey! Hey!"
Of course Gao Dalang knew what his father was talking about, and whispered: "Father, please don't be soft-hearted. If my sister is not the legitimate daughter of their Gao family, she will not marry to the east, nor will she marry a prince's own soldier."
Xu San lived in Zhongyonghou Mansion for several months, and Gao Pingping found different reasons to see Xu San every month. How could Zhongyonghou and his son not understand Gao Pingping's intentions?
The sarcasm in the mouth of Marquis Zhongyong indicates that Xu San was born in a humble family.
"It's not impossible." Marquis Zhongyong said calmly: "The Gao family, in my great-grandfather's generation, was a common people who farmed. Many of the ancestors of the Murong family did not have the emperor's personal soldiers around them back then."
"Civil officials have studied hard since they were young, and they can only become officials after taking the imperial examination. Military generals are different. On the battlefield, they can gain a foothold in the army by making outstanding achievements in battle. It doesn't matter if you are from a humble background, just strive to live up to your reputation and be supported by noble people.
, may not necessarily have a good future.”
"He knows that matter well. He needs to take a good look at Xu San."
Along the way, Zhongyong Hou Cuo Xu San paid special attention.
I don’t know if Xu San noticed the attention of Marquis Zhongyong. With his temper, he would have noticed it and would not say anything and continue to do what he should do.
After chasing for half a month, they had tracked down the bandits ahead. Marquis Zhongyong, who was experienced in fighting, was not in a hurry and called Xu San over: "Xu San, are you familiar with the terrain of Qinglong Mountain?"
Xu San replied in a deep voice: "Back to Lord Marquis, I have led people to stay in Qinglong Mountain for several months."
Marquis Zhongyong nodded slightly and whispered: "Zhou Sui's lair is in Qinglong Mountain. To the east of the pursuit of the army, he can easily abandon everyone and flee into Qinglong Mountain. I will lead three hundred soldiers, and he will give me five more
Hundreds of people, I will immediately lead them to Qinglong Mountain to set up an ambush in the east."
Xu San bowed his legs to accept the order. He nodded his legs and quickly rode away first.
…
After Li Xiao fell asleep, he still didn't wake up. A soldier stretched out his leg to explore Li Xiao's forehead, and his expression suddenly changed: "No, the second young master has a fever."
"He will go ask the doctor then."
After the doctor arrived, he first cleaned Li Xiao's wound and applied medicine. Then he prescribed medicine to reduce fever.
However, after Li Xiao drank the decoction to reduce fever, his whole body was still burning.
The soldiers were so anxious that they put their knives on the doctor's neck and shouted angrily: "Their master has some bad intentions, so he will chop me with one knife."
The doctor was so frightened that he was trembling all over, crying and begging for mercy. The soldiers shouted fiercely, but they didn't really have to move their legs to kill people. They invited two more doctors to come, and kept tossing until dark, but Li Xiao didn't wake up.
One of the doctors plucked up the courage and said tremblingly: "The second young master's original injury was very bad. He forced himself to ride the horse to pay for the punishment. The anger hit his heart. It's not a good thing to show it now. I hope the fever will be gone in March."
, even if you survive that disaster.”
If you stay in bed for a long time, you can hold a funeral.
That's something a doctor would never dare to say.
There were more than eighty soldiers who stayed with Li Xiao. These soldiers were all carefully trained by the Li family and had fought with Li Ji for many years. After Li Ji died in battle, they regarded Li Xiao as their leader.
Seeing Li Xiao's dying appearance without knowing whether he was alive or dead, all the soldiers who were brave and fearless in death were all red-eyed.
I wonder if someone had an idea: "They found a carriage and took the second young master back to Beihai County to recover from his injuries."
Anyway, with Li Xiao's appearance, he could no longer kill enemies on horseback. In order to recover from his injuries, of course he had to find a quiet and suitable place.
There are Li Xiao's good friends Zheng Xuanqing and the girl Wang Wei in Beihai County. Perhaps, Li Xiao's return to Beihai County can avert the danger and get better soon.
The soldiers made up their minds and took action quickly. As for the doctors, they naturally asked to accompany them. The three doctors did not even dare to close their eyes and stayed by Li Xiao's side. The decoction, medicine, and acupuncture were given in turn, and then the
Use warm water and decoction to wipe the whole body to reduce fever.
In the third month, Li Xiao finally opened his eyes.
He didn't have the strength to shut up. He glanced at the soldiers beside him who were about to burst into tears. He knew that on the way back to Beihai County, he had uttered the word "Wang Wei" in his mouth, so he closed his eyes again.
While he was sleeping, bitter decoction was poured into his mouth from time to time.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard the sound of a woman crying.
Wang Wei, don't cry. He can hold on. Don't cry. When his injury heals, he will marry me as his wife.
Li Xiao opened his eyes, and what he saw was Wang Wei's haggard, red and swollen eyes.
"Li Xiao, I finally woke up." Wang Wei shed tears. Her tears were full of joy at this time: "It's great, I finally woke up."
