Chapter 100 Battle One
Huo Changqing didn't stay in Yunfu for a long time. After taking his things and explaining some things to Xu Wu, he returned to the barracks.
Yu Xi looked at the token with several strange patterns engraved in it. This token is made of sunken wood, which is relatively rare. After observing carefully, Yu Xi put her in the box under her bed. Just as she told Huo Changqing, she would not use this brand until a critical moment.
Zijin looked at Yuxi's serious face, and asked, "Madam, Uncle Huo gave you this token, is it..." The words behind were so inauspicious that Zijin didn't know what to say.
Yuxi said: "The general will come back safe and sound." When she died in her previous life, Yunqing was still alive! Therefore, Yunqing will be fine. But whether something will happen to Huo Changqing, she is not sure. There were many rumors about Yunqing outside, but Huo Changqing was not mentioned. Yuxi's guess is that Huo Changqing must have had an accident in his previous life, otherwise Yunqing would not have become so tyrannical later on. She did everything she had to do, even cut off the precious ginseng just in case, Yuxi only hoped that Huo Changqing could return safely this time.
Zijin nodded heavily and said: "The general and Uncle Huo will return safely." Huo Changqing is not only the general's powerful arm, but also someone who is respected and loved by the general, so nothing will happen to him.
Huo Changqing brought his things back to the barracks.
Yu Cong saw that there was nothing on Huo Changqing's body, and said with a smile, "I thought Madam would pack a small bag for my adoptive father to bring over!" The general didn't go back on weekdays, and Madam sent clothes and food every now and then. Come here, don't be so considerate. This time nothing was sent.
Huo Changqing took out what Yuxi gave him from his sleeve: "This is from my wife. It contains some precious medicinal materials that can stop bleeding, and some ginseng slices. The ginseng is produced in Changbai Mountain, and it is nearly four hundred years old. , very precious." There was still nothing to say, but there were actually a few antidote pills inside. Of course, Huo Changqing didn't understand why Yu Xi put a few antidote pills in it, but these things didn't take up much space, so they left them there.
After hearing this, Yu Cong said in amazement: "My dear? Ginseng four hundred years old has turned into a monster. Where did Madam get such a treasure?"
Guo Xun had this appreciation in his eyes: "Ma'am, you really have a heart." If you are seriously injured, with such ginseng in your mouth, you might be able to save your life. However, such a rare treasure is not willing to be given away by ordinary people, but Madam is really willing to do so.
In the past half a year, Yuxi has won the respect and admiration of people around Yunqing with practical actions. Not everyone is as generous as Yuxi.
Yun Qing nodded and said, "Uncle Huo, keep this thing!" Such a good thing cannot be bought with more money.
Huo Changqing nodded.
Yun Qing didn't say anything else, and said: "Call the generals with more than a thousand households over here." This is a meeting, and the battle will start tomorrow, and many things have to be explained again.
Yuxi didn't fall asleep until midnight, and got up before dawn the next day. Opening his eyes, looking at the darkness outside, Yuxi and Mother Qu said: "I don't know if the army has set off yet?" As a backing, I have a favorable position on my side, but this time it is unknown.
Mother Qu shook her head and said, "We should leave at dawn!" In the harem, she has seen a lot of concubines playing tricks and tricks, and she is also very experienced. But she is a layman in matters such as going to war and fighting, and she has no way to express her opinion.
Yuxi said softly: "I hope everything goes well!"
Mother Qu thought for a while, and said, "If Ma'am is not at ease, just recite the scriptures!" No matter whether the scriptures praying for peace are useful or not, at least those who recite the scriptures can feel at ease.
Yuxi nodded her head, and said: "Clean up the vacant room, I want to worship the Bodhisattva." Reciting scriptures every day makes her feel more at ease.
After breakfast, after walking for another quarter of an hour, Yuxi went to the wing room to chant sutras. As a result, it came out shortly after entering. The sandalwood scent was too strong for her to bear.
Mother Qu let out an eh, sandalwood has the effect of concentrating and concentrating, this is the first time anyone has heard of sandalwood being unbearable.
Yuxi rubbed her stomach and said, "I used to offer incense in Lingshan Temple, and I didn't feel uncomfortable in the main hall." Now I can't adapt, it's probably because of this child.
Mother Qu looked at Yuxi's stomach, a little suspicious. There are even children who can't stand the scent of sandalwood, she has learned a lot today.
Yuxi said: "I will light the incense after I finish reading the scriptures!" She couldn't smell the fragrance, so she had to finish reading the scriptures before lighting it. After giving birth to a child, this problem should no longer be present.
Mother Qu nodded and said, "I remember."
The next day, Yu Zhi came back from the outside and went into the inner courtyard to talk to Yuxi about something: "Madam, Fu Qingluo, the eldest daughter of the Fu family, is also learning from Madam, and gathers the children of the soldiers' families. However, Madam is a boy Girls are accepted together, but the eldest daughter of the Fu family only accepts girls."
Yuxi smiled and asked, "Are there any restrictions?"
Yu Zhi nodded and said: "6 years old and under 15 years old, good health, as long as you meet these two conditions. Miss Fu promised that not only will the children be sent there, but also accommodation will be provided. But Fu Qingluo let the word out, saying that she Only sixty people are accepted, but these sixty people have to be selected by the handsome, not whoever comes first.
After listening, Yu Xi asked, "Are there any other requirements?"
Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "Not anymore."
Yu Xi shook her head and said nothing. When she first founded the school, she could have many requirements. First of all, it must be a sergeant under Yunqing. In fact, it must be a situation that is too difficult to uncover. In addition, there is an age limit. In the end, she promised to continue. In this way, those who are not selected feel that they will not succeed this year, but their children can also enter next year, and there is a buffer period. The most important thing is that children who enter the school can go home every day, which can reassure parents and elders. As for Fu Qingluo's actions, it is obviously not reassuring. Coupled with her reputation, people who really love their daughters will not send their children away. Of course, it doesn't mean that no one will send their children there, and those who can't survive will definitely send their children there too. In any case, it can be regarded as finding a way for the child to survive.
Zi Jin also knew what Fu Qingluo wanted to do, and said, "Ma'am, if she does this, how can she find a satisfactory candidate." There are more than twenty girls in the school, and only six are not bad. This shows how low the probability is.
Yuxi said: "Whether you are satisfied or not, we don't need to worry about it." Fu Qingluo belongs to the kind of person who is full and has nothing to do. time, and no other damage.
As Zijin had predicted, Fu Qingluo couldn't get any satisfied children at all. The ones sent over were all sallow-faced, skinny little girls, where such children could practice martial arts, they would probably faint if they stood for a long time. Fu Qingluo didn't even think about it, if someone from a good family would give their daughter to her.
After watching for a whole day, Fu Qingluo didn't like any of them, and she couldn't help being a little discouraged. She couldn't help complaining to Fu Da's mother: "Why is Han Yuxi's founding of the school so smooth, and it's so difficult for me to do something?" She I don't even think about how much preparatory work Yu Xi has done before founding this school. After the establishment of the school, a lot of rules and regulations were laid down, so that the school has been running smoothly without any problems.
Fu Da's mother said with a smile: "If you don't feel good, then don't do it." She felt that the sister-in-law was messing around, how could this child be so easy to raise.
Fu Qingluo said: "No, I can't give up halfway like this, otherwise I would be too useless, I must persevere to the end."
Unfortunately, Fu Qingluo gave up after not persisting for two days. Because she really didn't like any of the children sent over. Fu Qingluo basically lost all credibility after such a fuss.
After Yuxi heard this, she shook her head helplessly and said: "She is acting like a housekeeper!" She doesn't have any perseverance or perseverance in doing things, and she still wants to train a group of women's soldiers to fight on the battlefield, which is really daring to think about.
On the sixth day after the army left, it began to drizzle. Yuxi looked at the drizzle falling from the sky, and said, "It's raining, how can I live outside?" When I came to Yucheng last year, it rained on the road, and the feeling was really miserable.
Mother Qu didn't know what to say now.
In fact, this little rain is nothing to the soldiers. What I am most afraid of is that in the event of heavy rain, not only can I not cook, but the food will be damaged.
This day and night, the army set up camp in Anzhai, buried pots and made meals. After the meal was ready, Yu Cong brought the food to Yunqing in the tent.
Yun Qing looked at the rice with a piece of bacon and two sausages on it, said nothing, picked up the bowl and ate it big mouthfuls, waved his hand after eating and said: "Take it down." It will be boring. Although Yunqing was not tired of the sausage and bacon, he still felt that the taste was not as good as the first time.
Huo Changqing looked at Yunqing staring at the map, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Yun Qing pointed to a place and said: "This is the only way we must go to the canyon. Uncle Huo, the terrain here is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. Once an ambush here, it will be fatal to us." The geographical location is very familiar.
Huo Changqing's face darkened when he heard this, and he said, "You mean Qin Zhao will betray us?" Unless the marching route was revealed, how could someone set up an ambush here in advance.
Yun Qing said: "I have to. Qin Zhao can't kill me, maybe he will get rid of me by the hands of the captors." If it is fighting on the plains, Yun Qing is not worried. But if the enemy occupies a favorable position, they will suffer heavy losses.
Huo Changqing nodded and said, "Arrange more scouts to check." This is very necessary. Don't be afraid of death, since you entered the barracks, you have to be prepared to die in battle. But unnecessary sacrifices can be avoided if possible. Therefore, for the safety of the 20,000 soldiers, we must be cautious. (to be continued)
