Chapter 607 Jujube Kills People (2)

It was late at night, and Zao Zao was still writing big characters seriously. Hongdou murmured in her heart, the princess was not so eager to learn before, probably because of today's incident, she was too scared to sleep.

Zao Zao wrote 30 large characters, which made her hands sore. Putting down the writing brush, Zao Zao said: "Get water, I want to take a bath." Although Zao Zao usually doesn't pay much attention to daily life, he still has a habit of taking a bath before going to bed. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to sleep.

Hong Dou stayed by the bed because she was worried that Zao Zao would have nightmares. I couldn't help but fell asleep at the back, and seemed to hear someone crying in my daze.

As soon as Hongdou opened his eyes, the door was pushed open. Huo Changqing walked in with big strides from the outside. Walking to the bed, looking at Zao Zao who was crying and calling her parents, Huo Changqing gave Hong Dou a hard look. This girl is just a decoration, she doesn't know how to take care of others.

Hongdou shivered in fright.

Huo Changqing held Zao Zao in his arms, patted her on the back lightly and said, "Don't be afraid, grandpa is here!"

In fact, Zao Zao didn't wake up, and instinctively called: "Father, Mother..." In Zao Zao's subconscious mind, as long as Mom and Dad are by her side, she is not afraid.

Huo Changqing didn't do anything to comfort people, he just kept patting Zaozao's back and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Zaozao is not afraid, grandpa is here..." Huo Changqing is not jealous either, Yunqing and Han are Zaozao's relatives Father and mother, there is no one in the world who can surpass his biological parents.

Zao Zao cried for a long time, and also called for a long time. Later, the voice became lower and lower, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Hong Dou boldly touched Zao Zao's forehead, and found that Zao Zao's body temperature was normal, and there was no fever as she imagined. In Yucheng, there is a lack of medical care and medicine, and in case of fever is also a very troublesome matter.

Huo Changqing didn't dare to walk away, and stayed by Zaozao's side all the time. He didn't leave until it was almost dawn.

After half an hour, Zao Zao woke up.

Seeing that Zao Zao was going to practice, Hong Dou hurriedly stopped her and said, "Princess, you didn't sleep well last night, you should sleep more today!" Thinking of what happened yesterday, Hong Dou still has lingering fears.

Zao Zao was very strange and asked: "I slept until dawn, why didn't I sleep well?" She is in a very good spirit now, how could she not sleep well last night.

Hong Dou smiled and said, "Princess, don't you remember? You had a nightmare last night, and you cried and called the prince and concubine at the same time. It was the old man who hugged you and coaxed you for a long time."

Zao Zao didn't believe it: "You're talking nonsense, I won't cry!" Zao Zao had been taught that a person should bleed but not cry, so she seldom cried on weekdays. Well, I never cried in front of Huo Changqing. In front of Yuxi, she cried several times.

Hongdou was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Princess, you don't remember!" It's very interesting to see the appearance of the princess.

Zaozao didn't talk nonsense with Hongdou, and said: "Don't chat with you, I'm going to practice." After finishing speaking, she picked up the short knife she killed yesterday and went to practice in the yard.

After breakfast, Zao Zao said to Huo Changqing: "Grandpa, are you still going to the wounded barracks today?" Zao Zao didn't ask a word about what happened last night.

Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "I'm still going to the city tower today." I can't go to the wounded barracks every day.

On the way to the tower, Huo Changqing said to Zao Zao: "I remember when your father killed someone for the first time, he didn't dare to close his eyes for three days and three nights." Huo Changqing said this to let Zao Zao relax and not worry about what happened yesterday.

After hearing Huo Changqing's words, Zao Zao didn't believe it: "Impossible, why would father not be like this?" Zao Zao didn't believe that her father would be so cowardly.

In fact, the reason why Zao Zao didn't get too much stimulation was because the barbarians killed by Zao Zao were the ones who should be killed. Therefore, jujube does not have too much psychological burden. Of course, Zao Zao's strong heart is also an important reason.

Huo Changqing was not angry either.

Said: "If you don't believe it, ask your father when you go back, and you will know that what grandpa said is true." The first person Yun Qing killed was the assassin who assassinated him, and after the killing, he was like a normal person. It was the first time that Yunqing went to war with him without closing his eyes for three days and three nights. After seeing the corpses all over the place, the scene was too horrifying for him to close his eyes, as if he became one of them after closing his eyes.

Zao Zao was dubious: "Grandpa, what about my mother? What was the reason for my mother's first murder?"

Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this, you can ask her yourself when you go back." Han Yuxi never killed anyone after marrying Yunqing, as for whether he killed anyone before marrying here, he doesn't know.

When I got to the city wall, I saw only a few people cleaning and carrying firewood, which was completely different from the scene I saw two days ago.

After reaching the tower, Zao Zao knew what was going on, because the enemy didn't come today.

After a while, Cui Mo came over and said to Huo Changqing: "Father, the Beiyao people have retreated." After fighting for twelve days, the Beiyao people couldn't bear to retreat.

Huo Changqing hummed and said, "Nearly half of them were killed or injured, so it's normal for them to retreat."

Cui Mo didn't know what Huo Changqing was thinking, and said, "Just now Chu Shaoguang said to pursue the victory, but I rejected it." Their priority now is to defend the city, and such dangerous things as chasing deserters must never be done.

Zaozao raised his head and asked: "Grandpa, if this Agu takes the remnant soldiers to the West Sea to join that Baer's, will the West Sea be very dangerous?" At this time, Xihai will be in danger. Although Zao Zao is still young, she knows a lot about her eyes and ears.

Cui Mo shook his head and said: "From here to the West Sea, it takes half a month to ride a horse, and more than half a month to walk. They don't have so much food and grass to support them."

Huo Changqing said: "Don't take it lightly, pay close attention to Agu's movements."

Cui Mo thought about the current situation in Xihai, and said, "Father, don't send 30,000 people to Xihai anymore." With 30,000 more people, the burden on the madman can be lightened.

Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "Don't think that everything will be fine once Agu retires. You must always be cautious. The West Sea is important, and so is Yucheng." In the past, it has started to snow heavily this month, but now it doesn't feel cold at all. If it snows, the Beiyao people will definitely retreat.

Cui Mo nodded and said, "I know."

Three days later, it was confirmed that Agu had really retreated. At this time, Cui Mo got a reply from Feng Dajun. After reading the letter, Cui Mo said worriedly: "Father, the battle situation over the lunatic is not ideal, let's send another 30,000 troops!" Silent reinforcements.

Huo Changqing was silent for a while and said: "How many soldiers and horses are left in Yucheng?" Hearing that 100,000 soldiers with minor injuries can go to the battlefield, Huo Changqing said: "Then send another 20,000 soldiers and horses to Xihai." Ten thousand soldiers and horses are enough to defend Yucheng.

The fighting situation in the West Sea was very fierce, the fighting power of the Beiyao people was very strong, and there were cavalry leading the battle, so Feng Dajun retreated while fighting. In only half a month, they retreated more than 300 miles.

Guo Fei, the personal guard, said worriedly: "General, the Beiyao people's offensive is too fierce. In less than three days, our current city will be destroyed again." If this continues, Xihai may not be able to defend it.

The cavalry in the West Sea were killed by the captives, and there were not many left. Now, rely on the city wall to resist the captives. It's just that these city walls are not as strong as Yucheng, and they have already lost three cities. Now the city is about to lose its hold.

Feng Dajun said: "Don't worry, the 30,000 horses and 6,000 cavalry transferred from Yucheng will arrive in a few days." The city is lost, and they can get it back later.

Guo Fei said: "I hope they will arrive soon, which will also improve morale." Because the situation is too tragic, the morale of the army is very low now.

Feng Dajun nodded. Whether it is weapons or armor, the best ones are given priority to the soldiers in Yucheng. Not only Feng Dajun was envious, but other generals were also envious, but they didn't fight or disagree, because they all came from Yucheng.

Guo Fei said: "With them here, our casualty rate can be reduced a lot." The Beiyao people are too cruel, they can't beat them at all, they can only delay for a day or a day.

Feng Dajun had also expected that this would be a fierce battle, so he moved out the people and herdsmen in this area more than a month ago. At that time, some people were unwilling to leave, but Feng Dajun was not a kind person. It's okay not to leave, but cattle, sheep, food and other things have to be handed over, and he doesn't want to leave these things to the captives. Under persecution, these herdsmen had to leave if they didn't want to. Therefore, in the past half a month, although the Beiyao people occupied several cities, they did not get much food.

Feng Dajun said viciously: "We can't beat them, but we can drag them to death." No matter how tough the Beiyao people were, they had no choice but to retreat if they couldn't grab food. If you don't retreat, there is only one dead end.

During the past few years in Xihai, Feng Dajun's main task was to eliminate the opposition forces in Xihai, and everything else was solved incidentally. After more than three years, the effect has been very remarkable, and the indigenous forces opposing them have basically been eliminated. Otherwise, if the North Captives colluded with the natives of Xihai, Xihai would definitely not be able to keep it.

When Guo Fei heard this, he couldn't help but said: "If the prince didn't lead the army to attack Shanxi and Henan, we would definitely let Battelle come and go."

Feng Dajun shook his head and said, "Don't say this again. The prince must have a reason for sending troops to attack Shanxi and Henan at this time." Feng Dajun felt that in the long run, capturing Shanxi and Henan is more important than resisting the captives.

Guo Fei just said this, without any other meaning: "I just hope that these northern barbarians can be driven out sooner." There are too many people who died.

Feng Dajun's eyes showed deep-seated hatred. Many of his brothers died at the hands of the Beiyao people, and he hated the Beiyao people to the bone. Of course, Yunqing is the same.

Feng Dajun said: "It won't take long, and I will make them pay with blood." When they get through this difficulty, he will definitely lead his troops to take over the Beicap people's lair. He believed that this day would not be too far away.

Guo Fei nodded heavily and said: "Yes, we must let them pay with blood." Every soldier in Yucheng has a bloody feud with the Beiyao people. (to be continued)
