Chapter 28 Military Affairs

Xu Xian didn't know how he survived. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yin Simiao standing in front of him holding a black pottery bowl with white sediment, with a look of pride and pride on his face, "I told you that plaster can remove fire and clear away heat."

The effect is very effective, Brother Xian, please don’t thank me, thanks to the good advice you gave me before, just rest and I will cook you another bowl.”

Xu Xian really wanted to give himself a slap. Yin Simiao had been good at copying other people's classic recipes before. He was too talkative. He was really afraid of getting stones after eating so much plaster.

Since there was a child at home, and he didn't want Yin Simiao to stay at home any longer, he asked Xiaocan to pay him the medical fee and then send him away. Before leaving, he also told Xu Xianyu to go to him if he felt unwell.

Yin Simiao's gypsum soup was really effective. Anyway, Xu Xian no longer had a fever. He soaked his feet in the brazier and drank a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea. He was sweating profusely, and the coldness penetrated his bones.

Finally went.

I originally wanted to recuperate behind closed doors at home, but unexpectedly, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit. Even the little silkworms couldn't stop them. A few eggs from this house and a bowl of brown sugar from that house. Jiubao gave me a handful of garlic sprouts and sesame seeds.

Gua gave me a bunch of dried fish. Dakui was the most generous and gave me a whole cart of plaster, which he piled in the yard, saying that it was not enough to eat and there was more at home.

Lao Zhang came over and showed the greatest contempt to Xu Xian, saying that it was not worth risking his life after just one visit to the brothel. It was not that there was any misunderstanding. Xu Xian did use visiting the brothel as an excuse to leave that day.

"The reason why I can survive a hundred battles at this age is all because of this. They were cut from dead horses on the battlefield in the early years. After they were dried, they were wrapped in oil paper and cut into a section when you want to use them. You try it.

If it's useful, I still have it there. Don't give it to me if you have a good rest, or be careful of getting caught. Don't worry about leaving the business of the store to me."

Seeing that Lao Zhang was gone, Xu Xian hurriedly threw the long black strip into the dustbin where the garbage was placed. Hearing the murmur of a child in the next room, he got up and went over, only to see Yang lying on the low couch.

Brother just woke up and said when he saw Xu Xian, "I'm hungry."

Since there were constant visitors at home, Xu Xian was afraid that he would cry, so he had to feed him glutinous rice wine mixed with rice wine to make him fall asleep. He stretched out his hand and squeezed his smiling face and said, "Wait a minute, I will warm the milk for you. It will be there soon."

It’s time to eat.”

Xu Xian had just picked up the pottery pot with milk when he heard someone knocking on the door, "Brother Xian, open the door, I'm here to see you." He put down the milk pot in his hand helplessly and reached for the pottery pot with rice wine.

Can, "I'm sorry. If you grow up and become an alcoholic, it won't be my fault."

After half a stick of incense, Xu Xian opened the courtyard door. He saw Hong Baoer holding an old hen in one hand and complaining: "Why did you come to open the door now? I'm freezing to death!"

"Why don't you wear thicker clothes? Why are you carrying a chicken?"

"Today I went to your restaurant to buy stinky tofu but I didn't see you. After asking, I found out that you were sick. When I got home, I told my mother that I would bring you two hens raised at home." Hong Baoer came in.

Two hens were casually scattered in the yard.

"I just have some colds. You guys come to see me in turns. You don't know, but you think I have some terminal illness."

Hong Baoer said solemnly: "Wind-cold is not a trivial matter. My eldest sister went there just because she got wind-cold. I will leave as soon as I see that you are fine."

"How can you treat patients like this? You still have to ask me about my condition."

"You and I are still doing all this nonsense. My father has gone to fight, and I am the only man in the family. I have to guard the house."

Xu Xian grabbed his arm and said, "Where did Marquis Yu go to fight again? Is it with Captain Guo?"

Hong Baoer smiled and said: "No! My father is on the emperor's side, and my brother is on Guo Taiwei's side. What do you think should happen if the two of them kill each other on the battlefield? I'm scared to think about it.

I find it interesting.”

Xu Xian reached out and hit him on the head, "It's really hard for you to laugh when your father and your brother fight with each other."

"Don't worry. My father said before he left that we might not be able to fight this battle. We're afraid that Lieutenant Guo's soldiers will attack the city and plunder it, so we have to guard the door. You should be more careful and just close the shop."

, take back all the money from the store. I won’t tell you more, I have to go home.”

After sending Hong Baoer away, Xu Xian closed the courtyard door and said happily: "The dynasty is finally changing!"

Wang Erbian couldn't muster any energy, so he dragged his spear and followed the army all the way north, crossed the Yellow River Ferry to Fengqiu, and walked for more than ten miles to a place called Qilidian where he set up camp and buried pots to make rice.

.

When night fell, I finally had a hot meal, and acquaintances gathered together with big bowls to talk and brag. Most of the Forbidden Army stationed outside the city didn't know what happened in the city, especially the low-level officers and officers.

Ordinary soldiers.

Now that the two armies were about to go into battle, the gossip was flying everywhere like it had wings. The leader of the team, Old Song, who was as ignorant as himself before, suddenly knew the huge secret.

"That morning, as soon as King Shi Yang and his three brothers entered the palace, they found that the emperor was already waiting there. He was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, riding a white horse from the Western Regions, and holding a nine-foot-long spear in his hand...

"

The person next to him suddenly interjected, "It must be an extraordinary feat for the emperor to be able to use the horse's hand. I haven't seen anyone use the horse's hand for many years."

"No! Otherwise, how can I be the emperor?" Old Song picked up a piece of pickled radish from the bowl and chewed it. "But you are wrong if you say you haven't seen anyone using a horse for many years. I suppressed the rebellion in the Western Expedition the year before last.

When I saw Lieutenant Guo, he immediately hung a horse branch."

Wang Er changed his answer: "I have seen him too, but I have never seen him play. I have seen him playing dice with Hu Damao and others in the camp. He won several games in a row but didn't take any money in the end. If I had his

With one hand, you won’t owe so much debt.”

"Why did the second change interrupt? Let Lao Song continue."

Old Song Chiliu took a sip of porridge and continued: "Although the emperor is a good player, Shi Hongzhao is also a ruthless person, as you all know."

"Of course, that man was cruel to the people and he was also cruel to our soldiers. There was a brother in my camp who had his head chopped off because he went out to drink without permission," Lao Song continued.

"Shi Hongzhao was not easy to deal with. He immediately took out two golden melons and copper hammers and started fighting with the emperor. You hit me with a hammer and I hit him for hundreds of rounds. In the end, Shi Hongzhao was chopped into pieces by the emperor and chopped off from the waist.

The intestines were broken into two pieces and flowed all over the floor."

"Where are the two husbands, Prince Yang?"

"You don't even have to ask, I'm scared to death!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and a soldier said: "What Lao Song said is wrong. No one fights with pumpkins. You must have seen it on some stage and coaxed us."

"You bastard, I've spent so much time telling you that you're lying. You have to pay for listening to books in a teahouse. I won't tell you any more."

Wang Er changed his voice and said, "Please don't pay attention to him. You said before that all the family members of Taiwei Guo were killed by the emperor, but it's true. No wonder Taiwei Guo wants to rebel."

"Why are you lying to me? I heard that no one in the family is alive, and the blood is all over the ankles. If you want to hear the second change, go and serve me a bowl of rice!"

As soon as Wang Erbian took over his job and turned around, he bumped into someone. The other person staggered back a few steps and would have fallen if not for the support of the people around him.

Just as Wang Erbian was about to speak, he was pushed to the ground. A dozen knives were placed on his neck, and the rice bowl in his hand was broken into two pieces.

The surrounding soldiers stood up and Lao Song shouted: "Which of you from the battalion dares to come here and act mischievous!"

Unexpectedly, someone on the other side scolded: "How dare you be rude to the Emperor."

Only then did everyone see clearly that the crowd was surrounded by a young man wearing a turban with an upturned head and a red dragon robe with patterns. However, he was pale and thin, and was almost knocked upside down by Wang Erbian. He was not at all like what Lao Song said.

A fierce man who killed everyone. Lao Song simply knelt down on the ground without saying a word. The others seemed to understand something and knelt down immediately.

This young man was indeed Liu Chengyou. Because there was no resistance along the way, Guo Wei's army reached Henan without any effort. The young emperor finally panicked and listened to the advice of his ministers and came to the front line to boost the morale of the army.

Unexpectedly, he was knocked over by a large soldier as soon as he entered the rescue, and he couldn't help but feel angry. But before he could get angry, someone next to him advised him: "Your Majesty, please don't forget what you are here for."

When Liu Chengyou heard this, he snorted and strode away. Naturally, Wang Erbian also escaped. Seeing that the emperor was far away, everyone helped Wang Erbian up and patted the dust off his body.

Lao Song pointed at him with his finger and said: "You are lucky!"
