272 Meeting Sun Hongyu
In the evening, Sun Hongyu hurried over.
"Uncle grandpa."
"Xiao Ping'an, Uncle really missed you. Master, the journey must have been difficult, right?"
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "It's not bad. Director Guan said that my cousin is very busy. Are there many wounded soldiers?"
Sun Hongyu sighed and said, "Sicheng, this war is more severe than in previous years. Fortunately, a group of doctors came a few days ago. Although none of them have particularly good medical skills, they have made the military doctors much more relaxed. It is great that you and Ping An can come."
Sun Sicheng saw that Jixiang had already brought people to the main room to carry the food.
"Uncle, let's just have a bite here for dinner."
"You guys make it yourself? There's a cafeteria here. Doctors and the wounded are separated. The doctor's cafeteria is not far from you. It's certainly not good, but it's enough to fill your stomach."
Sun Sicheng nodded: "Director Guan also said that starting tomorrow, we will ask them to bring some back in basins and make some ourselves. We have people and food, uncle, let's have dinner here, and we will go over to work tomorrow."
"That's fine. We have to eat wherever we are. I just want to talk to you about the situation here."
He looked at the people in the courtyard, and saw quite a few coming and going. "Did you bring a lot of people with you this time?"
"Ping An and I each brought ten people, and we brought three more on the way. Half of them came as apprentices, and the other half, like Wanli and his group, came as personal guards.
Uncle, it was only after entering Youzhou that I felt the true desolation. Compared to Yong'an, it is quite good."
Sun Hongyu smiled bitterly: "It was difficult to get water a few days ago. Fortunately, it rained twice in a row during this period, and there is water in the creeks and wells, but it is still not enough."
Wang Quan’s cooking skills are good and the food is to everyone’s taste, so the meal was over very quickly.
Only Sun Hongyu, Sun Sicheng, Ping An, Wan Li and He Jin were left in the main hall.
"Sicheng, the Meng and Jue tribes have united. The general said that fighting has also started in the northwest, and the southwest is even more serious than here. In all these years, the Great Zhou has never had a simultaneous war on the border. The imperial treasury is about to be emptied. The fighting is fierce, and there is a shortage of food, medicine, and soldiers.
Sicheng, I have been looking forward to your coming. Our soldiers are precious now. If there are too many casualties here, the court will recruit more soldiers. One per household is not enough, so we can only have two. How can there be a home without a country?"
Sun Sicheng frowned: "Uncle, what is the current casualty situation?"
"Sicheng, it's OK for now, but there are still many casualties. The general is holding them down, but the other side is quite desperate. As the old saying goes, people are afraid of the tyrants, and the tyrants are afraid of the desperate. I'm still a little worried. I'm afraid that the situation will get worse."
Sun Sicheng said, "Uncle, we encountered some problems on the way. If possible, please tell the general about it and let him take precautions in this regard."
He recounted in detail the events of Shuangfeng Mountain and the matter of Yunzhou not being able to cross the border.
"Uncle, no matter how these people got in, there must be a gap, a gap that people usually don't pay much attention to. I think the court must notify the general, but it may take some time to go back and forth."
Sun Hongyu sighed deeply, "Fortunately, Ping An and you found out. Otherwise, while we were fighting here, others would have already slipped into the Great Zhou. No, I need someone to inform the general. He doesn't come here often. Sicheng, you should rest early today. I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
"Master, I feel like my uncle has changed completely since he came here. He is too tired."
"Ping An, go wash up and go to bed early. Wanli, He Jin, the first thing you need to do tomorrow is to build a kang. First, make sure you and your family have their daily expenses sorted out. I will write to Siyuan tonight and ask him to return to Beijing with his family of three as soon as possible, or go to Yong'an first. I am still worried about them staying in Huainan Prefecture."
Wanli nodded and said, "We also need to pay attention to medicinal materials. We can't let the rich hoard medicine. The price of medicine in our Baicaotang is not high. Although we have noticed this problem before, there are still rich families who use different people to buy medicine."
"That's true, young master. I think you still need to write a letter to Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun has to figure out a way to deal with this matter. He's smart. And Ping'an's parents, it would be best to send them to the Medicine Valley, so that Ping'an won't have to worry about anything.
Wan Changsheng can learn how to make medicine from Master Qin. It's not safe for him to run in and out of the farm every day. Besides, our largest alcohol workshop is located in that farm, so it's best if the farm gates are kept closed."
Sun Sicheng also felt that He Jin's words made sense, but these were not urgent matters.
After the letter is written, it is best to take it away through the special channel of the military camp. Since letter delivery is so difficult, it must be written in one go. You can't ask someone to take it today and then ask someone else to take it a few days later. That is impossible.
Here, Sun Hongyu hurriedly found Guan Ping, who was their highest officer.
Director Guan and Adjutant Wu were temporarily staying in the lobby of the conference room, and they had just returned to their room.
"Doctor Sun, have you seen the eldest master and his friends?"
"Master Guan, Master Wu, I just came from them. We talked about something after dinner. I feel that it is very important and I have to let you and the general know as soon as possible."
Guan Ping was startled: "What's the matter?"
Sun Hongyu recounted the incident: "This incident was discovered by Ping An and the eldest son, but they said they would not do it again in the future. If we fight in the front, those bastards will sneak in through the side roads and do bad things easily."
Both of them were confused.
And this thing?
"Doctor Sun, we are aware of this matter. I will inform the general as soon as possible. We must not make any more mistakes.
The imperial court must have known about this, and it may be a bit troublesome for us, but fortunately we have Master Sun Sicheng and his apprentice, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Lord Wu said, "Lord Guan, please write a letter now and have someone deliver it to the general tomorrow morning. This matter is very serious. The court may send someone to investigate this matter soon. The general should know about it soon so that he can be prepared."
"The two adults are busy, so I will go back. Sicheng said that he will take Ping'an and the others to rescue people tomorrow, and I promised to pick them up early in the morning."
Guan Ping nodded hurriedly: "Doctor Sun, the eldest son and his men have just arrived, please take care of them. He is a good doctor, please arrange for them to treat the seriously injured as much as possible. Every soldier in the Great Zhou is precious. It is extremely difficult to mobilize troops from the court now."
After Sun Hongyu left, Guan Ping quickly spread out a piece of paper and wrote down the incident in brief.
After sealing the letter, he handed it to Wu Jin: "You should arrange for someone to deliver it tomorrow morning. Lord Wu, I really believe in fate. Some things are destined by heaven. Shuangfeng Mountain is in Yangzhou and was discovered by Xiao Ping'an. When he arrived in Yunzhou, he was just relaxing and hunting, but he fell into a trap and met him. This kid is really lucky."
