Chapter 256: Concern is chaos
Ye Cangcheng is full of intense training every day. They themselves don’t know if they still have the chance to see the sun tomorrow. Their strength is too weak. They occupy only a city and land with a radius of hundreds of miles. To the west of Ye Canghe is the territory of Xiliang, and to the east of Luojia Mountain is the territory of Liang Dynasty.
Speaking of the Liang Dynasty, the soldiers and civilians in Yecang City all had a strange feeling. Are they from the Liang Dynasty? Of course! Can they enjoy the treatment of being a member of the Liang Dynasty? Obviously, they can't. Emperor Liang regarded Mobei as a thorn in his eyes and wanted to get rid of it quickly. If it weren't for the constraints of foreign enemies, he would have sent troops to destroy this small Yecang City.
Xiao Yunqi couldn't understand this very well. He looked in two directions and asked himself from time to time, is this era good or bad? The invasion of foreign enemies gave him a chance to breathe, but those occupied lands are Daliang's territory, and those slaughtered people are Daliang's people, how can they bear it!
The soldiers in the city who are diligent in training are also their own people, and they are the basis for realizing their ambitions. Xiao Yunqi was somewhat relieved when he saw them.
Xuan Shaoning was busy training his subordinates every day, and these 6,000 people were the largest army he had ever led in his life. The soldiers of the original Han Dao Guard were a little bit better, especially those newcomers who joined later, and he had to be extra careful. Ji Wenhan took the initiative to choose to surrender to the Han Dao Guard, while Xu Chengxian chose to join the Rust Claw Guard. This was his personal choice, and Xuan Shaoning had no trouble at all.
Under the scorching sun, thousands of passionate men were practicing tactics with their shirtless hands. Looking at their dark skin and firm appearance, Xuan Shaoning couldn't tell the feeling of accomplishment. Especially Ji Wenhan, the boy was now an adult, and his strong body was the result of his training over the years. He had lost his original fairness and tenderness. He was now a full-blooded man, and he worked very hard when practicing.
"The sun is too poisonous, it's all over the morning. You all go and rest!"
With the order from Xuan Shaoning, the soldiers of Han Dao Guard disbanded on the spot. Ji Wenhan immediately ran to Xuan Shaoning to salute neatly, "See Xuan Duwei!"
"Okay, we don't have to do this in private. I see your progress these days, and you will definitely win military achievements in the future."
"With Brother Xuan's encouragement, I dare not work hard?"
"That's good. Let's go to Yanzhi to get some herbal tea to quench the warriors."
"I will obey the order!"
The soldiers were busy practicing, and logistics support was crucial. Yanzhi was not idle. There were no wounded at the moment. So she started to cook herbal tea. The weather was too hot in August. If she couldn't replenish some tea soup in time during daily training, even the most powerful person might be exhausted.
"You wash all the six herbs and put them in a big pot to cook!"
"Ah? Miss Rouge, didn't you talk about the seven herbs before?"
"Oh, Qiwei? Yes, I'll give it to me
The memorization is wrong. Then you can cook it quickly, and you have to send it over to the guards."
"No, Miss Rouge, I just came back from the guards and sent them."
"Is that so? Then which military camps have not been sent?"
"And here I am!"
Xuan Shaoning walked into the kitchen and said, "Didn't I come to pick it up on my own initiative?"
"Oh, that's not going well yet, you have to wait."
"Sister Rouge!"
Yanzhi smiled at Ji Wenhan, turned around and started working hard. Xuan Shaoning didn't intend to disturb her, so he watched from the side, thinking about what to help. As a result, after watching for a while, he found that Yanzhi made mistakes repeatedly. Fortunately, there were helpers who had been trained by her.
"Isn't Yanzhi too tired?" Xuan Shaoning looked at Yanzhi with some pain. Her back became thinner by the past. Since meeting in Fengjucheng, she has been following the army. As a military doctor, she has done her best. With such a person, the logistics has been really guaranteed.
"oops!"
Yanzhi was caught by the hot tea when her hands were accidentally burned. Xuan Shaoning immediately broke her hand and saw that there was a blush on the back of her hands.
"It's okay, I want a scalded ointment, just apply it."
Yanzhi turned around and walked towards the pharmacy. Xuan Shaoning was by her side. Unfortunately, she searched back and forth in the pharmacy for a long time but couldn't find the plaster.
"Where did you put this?"
"Rozhi, it's time for you to take a break. I'll look for it."
Regardless of whether Yanzhi was willing or not, Xuan Shaoning pressed her to sit aside and began to search for the pharmacy. No matter how you calculate it, she had learned herbs, and she still remembered what the scald ointment looked like. Xuan Shaoning was searching, but Yanzhi's eyes did not leave him for a moment. There was satisfaction and joy in his eyes, but there was another unexplainable emotion.
"Finally found!"
Xuan Shaoning happily applied the ointment on the back of Yanzhi's hand, and said, "You, you have been too busy during this period. You have taught those subordinates, so leave a lot of things to them. Don't do it yourself, you have to learn to take charge of them."
"Just like you are in charge of six thousand people?"
"That's different, it's much more difficult for me!"
"Oh, it's really rare. It's rare to see you have pride, so you must not be satisfied!"
"Of course, I want to be a general!"
"Oh, then I'll wait, waiting for Commander Xuan to become General Xuan one day!"
Xuan Shaoning raised his head and touched Yanzhi's gaze. Both of them looked extremely hot, and they felt a fever in their bodies. For a moment, Xuan Shaoning was a little dazed. This feeling seemed familiar. When was the last time? Oh, remember, it was on the marriage bridge in Tianfu Temple. I saw it that day.
She was covered in goose yellow, and her heart was beating wildly at the moment when her hands touched her.
No! Why do you feel this way about Yanzhi? What I love is Princess Yunxuan! But since I met her in a hurry in the capital, there has been no news about her. The two of them are far away from each other and they can't meet each other for a year. As for what happened later, they are even more delusional.
"Yanzhi, the war has not yet affected Mobei, and you don't need to be so tired. Your health is important. From now on, I will take time to see you every day. If you want to go out of the city to relax, I will accompany you."
"It's enough to have your promise. I dare not destroy military discipline at will!"
Xuan Shaoning wanted to say something, but Ji Wenhan's shouts from the other end had already been heard.
"So herbal tea has been cooked, so I'll go and help."
"Go, be careful!"
Xuan Shaoning's back became heavier, but he became more mature. The comparison between Fengjucheng on that day was really tougher. Yanzhi looked at his back and stroked his hands on the scald, and his heart was filled with contradictions. It was a fact that anyone with a discerning eye could tell, but the reason was not what Xuan Shaoning thought was overwork. Just now, Xuan Shaoning was excited, but in fact she was the same. Yanzhi obviously felt that her body was beginning to get hot. On the one hand, she was surprised by her reaction, and on the other hand, she was afraid.
Fortunately, Xuan Shaoning left with something, Yanzhi reached out to caress his chest, and there was a place that was particularly red. If someone saw it, he could tell that there seemed to be a mark on Yanzhi's chest.
After delivering herbal tea, Xuan Shaoning came to the Military Tomb Valley of Luojia Mountain alone. There were already many more tombs, extending from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, and his eyes were filled with regular arrangements of tombs. These newly added soldiers died in battle on the southeast front line, and their bodies could only be left on that land. These were just tombs set up for commemoration.
There are six new tombs arranged under Song Mi's tomb. Looking at the names on the tombstone, Xuan Shaoning's eyes were sore and red. He once made an oath in front of Song Mi's tomb and said that he would protect these brothers, but he still broke his promise and they all died on the battlefield.
"Brother Song, I was unable to do it. I'm here to apologize!"
Xuan Shaoning kowtowed three times to Song Mi’s tomb, and tears finally dripped into the soil at this time.
"The brothers died in battle, but now Xinggang and Xie Yu are still unknown. Brother Song, I will do my best to find them!"
Xuan Shaoning raised his head and accidentally glanced at a footprint that appeared next to Song Mi’s tomb. It was a fresh, lonely footprint, a footprint of his right foot. Judging from the size, it should be left by a woman.
