Chapter 199: Return to Anqing (Part 2)

Seeing Yao Meng dying but with a solemn appearance, Yan Xiaoyi wanted to ridicule him for a while but couldn't say anything. Although this guy was inseparable from the death of the old leader, he was fighting with the Meng people after all. The death of the border army in the tens of thousands of Lucheng also made Yan Xiaoyi feel very nervous. He could not imagine what it would be like to spread out tens of thousands of corpses in a small place like Fengkou.

"Xiao Yi, aren't you still carrying Jinchuang medicine on your body? Change some medicine to General Yao. If this continues, General Yao will not be able to save his life." Yun Zhao sighed. Yao Meng betrayed Wang Min and Feng Congyi, which can only be considered a small loss. In the face of big troubles, this person is still a real man.

"It's the boss!" Yan Xiaoyi responded in a muffled voice, squatting in front of Yao Meng, unbuttoning the bandage wrapped around Yao Meng, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Yao Meng was stabbed in the chest. The knife continued to deeper and could see the bones. It was dragged from the left chest to the right abdomen. If it was a little deeper, it would definitely be killed on the spot. But even so, with such a serious injury, this person could still hold on until now and still have the strength to speak. Yan Xiaoyi's only seen it in his life. Seeing the terrifying appearance of the wound's skin and flesh, Yan Xiaoyi's eyelids twitched wildly.

"This medicine has excellent efficacy, but it hurts very much when I applied the medicine just now, so you have to hold on." Yan Xiaoyi stared at Yao Meng, "I can't help but scream and yell. The pain will feel better!"

"Thank you!" Yao Meng whispered two words.

He took out a pack of medicine powder and sprinkled it along the wound on Yao Meng's chest. As soon as the medicine powder touched the wound, Yao Meng's body thrust suddenly, and the muscles near the wound jumped up, the muscles on his face twisted, and his hands grabbed the stretcher tightly.

"I can't help but scream!" Yan Xiaoyi was sprinkling the medicine powder attentively, but he didn't hear Yao Meng's scream. It was strange that this medicine was matched by Yao Qian and was extremely effective in treating trauma, but the severe pain was so severe that ordinary people could not resist. Even a stupid big man like Jiang Xu was screaming at the beginning.

Yao Meng's eyes were prominent and he stared at Yan Xiaoyi tightly. The two looked at each other for a moment. Yao Meng's eyes rolled and he fainted.

Shaking his head, Yan Xiaoyi said, "He is really a man."

After tying a bandage for Yao Meng, looking at Yao Meng who was unconscious, Yun Zhao said to Ding Jian: "You are like this, Tanzhou will definitely not be able to go there anymore. What are you going to do? You have no food and grass, no place to stand, and you are like this now. The days ahead will be very difficult!"

Ding Jian glanced at Su Dingfang on the side. Both of them were Zhaowu Captains of the Anqing Border Army. Su Dingfang was still an old-fashioned officer, but it seemed that Yun Zhao, the horse bandit who had just joined the Anqing Border Army, couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"When we broke out, we were preparing to go to Anqing to join General Yue Ming. If General Yao and his soldiers had not been injured or injured, and had their only dry food finished, so it would be great if we were here and we could meet you here."

Su Dingfang, who was on the side, said happily: "That's good. To be honest, our Anqing has fought fierce battles for the past few months. The veterans have been seriously injured and the new recruits have serious lack of combat experience. Although the Lucheng border army now has only nearly two thousand soldiers, they are all soldiers who have fought fierce battles. If they can reach Anqing, their strength can be strengthened enough for Anqing. When you restore your combat effectiveness, we can even take the initiative to compete with Tutuo."

Ding Jian looked at Yun Zhao, "Captain Yun, do you welcome us to Anqing?" Ding Jian asked this because he found out that Yun Zhao was the chief in charge of this place, and the two thousand people now have almost nothing except a mouth. It is a heavy burden for Anqing.

Su Dingfang reacted and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. You must know that even Anqing is now supported by Yun Zhao's materials. Yun Zhao said that their food and grass storage is seriously insufficient. If Yun Zhao is unwilling to increase the amount of food and grass support to Anqing, Anqing will really not be able to support these two thousand people.

Yun Zhao smiled slightly. Like Su Dingfang's understanding, once these two thousand people recovered their combat power, they were indeed a very strong combat force. When he heard that Ding Jian and the others were about to go to Anqing, his heart suddenly became warm. If he could swallow these two thousand people in one bite, it would be a great improvement to his strength.

Looking at Su Dingfang, Yun Zhao said: "If General Yue Ming, General Yao Meng, and General Ding Jian agree to split half of the people to station in the stone fort after the Lucheng border army recovered their combat effectiveness, I will agree and be willing to provide the necessary supplies."

Hearing this, Ding Jian was shocked again. It turned out that Anqing's current supply of materials actually relies on Yun Zhao. He pondered for a moment and said, "There is no problem with stationing. I think General Yao will agree. There is one thing I must explain. Even if we station separately, our Lucheng border army still needs to maintain its own organization. You cannot reorganize it."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Of course." But he said in his heart, as long as you enter the stone fort, I will always have the chance to swallow you in one bite.

With the joining of these two thousand and a half dead border troops in Lucheng, Yun Zhao and others returned to Anqing for a full ten days. By the time they returned to Anqing, it was less than ten days before today's annual end.

Hu Zehua has been standing at the city wall these days and looking into the distance. Twenty days have passed, but Su Dingfang and Yun Zhao who should have returned long ago according to the original plan, still nowhere to be seen. He has sent dozens of cavalry, and Jiang Feng from the stone fort also sent a group of whistle cavalry to search for places where Yun Zhao and the others might appear. People on both sides were nervous. After all, this was an adventure surprise attack. Even if the entire army was dispatched, Tuotuo would definitely leave enough defensive power in the Shilipu camp. It seems that Yun Zhao and the others must have succeeded, but their escape after success is a more difficult problem than the successful attack. Hu Zehua could imagine that the enemy troops who had lost their food and grass would inevitably be angry, and they would have spared no effort to chase Yun Zhao and his group.

Footsteps sounded behind him. Hu Zehua turned around and saw an old man with long beards slowly coming and saluted respectfully, "Mr. Yao." The person who came was the special doctor of the Eagle-billed Rock Horse Bandits. Yao Qian. After Yun Zhao took his foothold in Hulu Valley, he immediately sent someone to Lucheng to pick up Yao Qian. For Yun Zhao, a miracle doctor like Yao Qian in the army could kill many wounded soldiers. Once these wounded soldiers recovered, they could break through the cocoon and turn into butterflies and become the backbone of the army. A few days ago, Yao Qian arrived at the stone fort, and the first thing he did was to treat Yue Ming's injuries.

"Is there still no news?" Yao Qian's tone was full of worry when he held the battlement.

Hu Zehua shook his head, "The whistle detectives have returned one after another, but there is still no news. The Stone Fort has sent a message, and they have not found anyone yet."

"It should be fine. Yun Zhao and Xiao Yi are all veterans with extremely rich experience, so there should be no problem." Yao Qian gave himself a pill of peace of mind, but in fact he had no idea at all.

"Mr. Yao, how is General Yue today?" Hu Zehua asked.

Yao Qian didn't say anything for a long time, but the expression in his eyes became colder. Seeing Yao Qian not talking, Hu Zehua's heart also became colder little by little.

"Is there really no hope? General Yue is An Qing's pillar. Without General Yue, I really don't know how An Qing can support him." Hu Zehua said worriedly.

"General Yue was too seriously injured, and I came a few days later, and I missed the best rescue time." Yao Qian's tone was full of regret. He respected Yue Ming from the bottom of his heart. Such a respected and loyal and righteous veteran seemed to be alive for a few days. "If General Yue hadn't been forcing himself, there would be no way. General Yue should have been waiting for Yun Zhao and the others to come back. Captain Hu, you must know that General Yue would be more painful than death."

Hu Zehua's eyes fell, "Mr. Yao, think of a way to save General Yue!"

"The doctor cannot cure his life. All I can do now is to try to satisfy General Yue's wishes and hold his life for him. Captain Hu, I will say that when Yun Zhao and Captain Su and others return, General Yue's wishes will be over, I am afraid that it will be the day of General Yue's life."

"How could this happen?" Hu Zehua murmured. Now he didn't know whether he should hope that Yun Zhao and his group would come back or not.

The two remained silent, allowing the bitter north wind to blew their hair and clothes.

It was getting late, and after patrolling the city defense, Hu Zehua turned around to visit Yue Ming. Yao Qian was pulling the silver needles off Yue Ming's body one by one. Yue Ming was already asleep, with a pale face and no abnormality.

"Is General Yue better?" Hu Zehua asked in a low voice.

Yao Qian shook his head.

A sudden sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the door, and a soldier looked happy and hurriedly bumped into him, "I'm back, I'm back!" he said loudly.

"Speak quietly, don't bother the general to rest." Hu Zehua said dissatisfiedly: "Who is back?"

"Person Su, Captain Yun and the other two are back!" The soldier lowered his voice, but he still couldn't hide his joy. "There are also people who come back with them..." Before the soldiers finished speaking, Hu Zehua took a big step and ran out. "Person Hu!" The soldier was shocked and ran out immediately after Hu Zehua.

On the bed, Yue Ming suddenly opened his eyes, "Here are you back, are they back?" He asked repeatedly when he looked at Yao Qian.

Yao Qian nodded, "Yes, they are back, Yun Zhao, Su Dingfang and the others are back."

The city gate of Anqing was wide open, and countless torches were lit up above the city head, illuminating the city gate. Under the fire, Yun Zhao and Su Dingfang were rushing towards the city gate one by one. Behind them, in addition to the soldiers following the two, there were also two thousand tired soldiers from the border army of Lucheng.

Hu Zehua ran out of the city gate, "Captain Yun, Captain Su, you are back!"

Looking at Hu Zehua's expression, Yun Zhao and Su Dingfang both noticed something was different.

"We are back, Captain Hu, what happened to Anqing?" Yun Zhao asked.

"General Yue was seriously injured and he was almost out of reach!" Hu Zehua said in a crying voice.
