Chapter 308: Separation again, Zhao defeats Hu!
It was not until dawn that the guards and soldiers finished cleaning up the battlefield. Nearly two hundred Wei soldiers were killed in the battle, and almost all of the remaining eight hundred were wounded, more than a hundred of them seriously injured. Such casualties were already quite heavy for them, after all, they were all cavalry. The only thing worth being happy about was that thousands of Western Hu people were all dead, and the war horses they left behind were also a considerable fortune.
"We have already wiped out all the Western Hu people who broke into the counties. No one should break in again in the short term. You should have a good rest. I will wait for you in Dafeng County."
After the battlefield was cleaned up, it was time for them to return to Dafeng County. The lightly wounded soldiers were fine and could ride their horses by themselves, but the seriously wounded were more troublesome. After discussion, Wei Chengyi left 300 cavalrymen and guards to escort Shen Xiangwan and the wounded, while he himself took the remaining cavalrymen and captured war horses and went ahead.
"Um."
Nodding, ignoring the soldiers' gazes, Shen Xiangwan leaned forward, stood on tiptoe and pecked him lightly on the lips. Now was not the time to be sentimental. After this damn war was over, they could be as affectionate as they wanted.
“Remember to rest!”
Wei Chengyi felt warm in his heart, but he also reminded her with some concern that she had not rested all night, although he himself had not rested either.
"You too, meditate and recover when you have time."
"Um."
After taking one last deep look at her, Wei Chengyi jumped on his horse and said, "Let's go!"
"yes!"
At his command, thousands of cavalrymen waved their whips in practiced fashion. Shen Xiangwan stood on the official road, watching them go. Even after they were no longer in sight, she did not return to the carriage. Yuan Yue, who was following beside her, sighed helplessly and stepped forward, saying softly, "Madam, we're not far from Dafeng County. We'll be there by noon at the latest."
"Then you and the Second Master will be able to see each other again." Yuan Yue didn't say the rest of the sentence. She didn't have anyone she liked, and she couldn't understand the relationship between Madam and the Second Master at all. She couldn't understand why they were so sad about just being apart for a while. Besides, when Madam and the Second Master were both busy, didn't they often go entire days without seeing each other?
Turning his head to look at her, Shen Xiangwan said unhappily: "Don't be so imaginative, I'm not that clingy."
You don't need to guess what's going on in her mind. Does she look like the kind of person who would die if she didn't see him for a while? The reason she didn't move just now was that she felt that the Wei family army was too difficult and she was thinking too much.
"Well, ma'am, how about we get back to the carriage?"
Knowing that he had misunderstood, Yuanyue couldn't help feeling embarrassed and could only make the suggestion with a dry laugh.
"Um."
Looking at the empty official road again, Shen Xiangwan sighed deeply and turned to walk towards the carriage.
Because of the seriously injured soldiers, their carriages increased to nearly twenty, and the speed was undoubtedly slower. Shen Xiangwan was still in a carriage with Mu Yunran, but the difference was that they had one more passenger, the soldier with a broken arm. It was not that they did not want to move him out, but mainly because there were not enough carriages. The medical boys even had to squeeze ten people into one carriage.
“Hmm…suck…”
A groan escaped from the unconscious soldier's mouth, and he subconsciously moved his broken arm. The pain made him gasp for air, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly widened, and beads of sweat instantly covered his forehead.
"Don't move. Your hand will need a few days to recover."
Shen Xiangwan, who was sitting cross-legged on the mat and practicing the Taixuan Heart Sutra, slowly opened his eyes. This is the good thing about being a martial artist. After a short recovery, the fatigue from not sleeping all night was almost completely gone. Compared to that morning, he felt much more energetic.
"Hmm...my hand..."
After she said that, the soldier finally remembered his hand. He lowered his eyes and saw that it was still connected to his body. He tried to move his fingers, and they moved freely. His eyes suddenly widened like bells: "Husband, Madam, I... I... my hand... is it really connected?"
He never dreamed that his wife would actually help him reconnect his arm. Excitement was not enough to describe his mood at the moment. If possible, he even wanted to get up and cheer. He was not a useless person. He could still go into battle and kill more Western Hu people!
"Well, the operation was successful. He will be fine in ten days or half a month."
Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. What a simple man, even in this state, he still wants to kill the enemy? However, no matter which era, it is because of passionate soldiers like him that the people can live and work in peace. They are worthy of respect, and it is not in vain that she secretly brought him into the space and tried her best to keep his hand.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you ma'am!"
The soldier was so excited that he was about to stand up and kowtow to her, but Shen Xiangwan quickly stopped him: "No need to thank me, you are my husband's soldier, which means you are also my soldier. I should save you. If you must thank me, then when you are better, help me kill a few more enemies."
She used the word "enemy" here instead of the Western Hu people. It seems that there is no difference, but in fact it is a double entendre. Their enemies are not just the Western Hu people!
"Yes, Madam, don't worry, I will definitely kill all those damned Xihu people!"
Speaking of the Western Hu people, the soldier no longer stuttered, and his eyes were filled with strong hatred and murderous intent. Until now, the tragic scenes of the villages slaughtered by the Western Hu people would still automatically emerge in his mind. God knows how angry he was when he saw with his own eyes a toddler being thrown to death. Those Western Hu people are simply not human beings, they are all beasts!
"Hmm...what are you talking about?"
Mu Yunran, who was resting on the cushion, rubbed her eyes sleepily, her voice somewhat hoarse. While the soldier was not paying attention, Shen Xiangwan took out a water bag filled with spiritual well water from the space and handed it to her: "Nothing, just chatting."
"oh."
Nodding, Mu Yunran took the water bag, tilted his head back and took two big gulps.
"Madam, who is this lady?"
The soldier then noticed her presence and looked a little embarrassed.
"Her name is Mu Yunran. She is Yan Junling's wife and a military doctor."
Seeing that he actually blushed innocently, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh: "By the way, what's your name?"
"ah?"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Reporting to my lady, my name is Zhao Pohu, the Pohu who defeated the Hu people."
"Zhao Pohu? What a nice name."
Raising her eyebrows, Shen Xiangwan admired sincerely. She was really afraid of those names like Erdan, Goudan, and Tiedan. She couldn't even find anything to complain about them, right?
"My father named it that. He read a few books when he was young and said that he hoped that one day the imperial court would be able to defeat the barbarians and that Chenzhou would be able to enjoy peace and prosperity like other prefectures."
Unfortunately, his father died of illness. After finally raising money to bury him, he saw that the Wei army was recruiting soldiers. Thinking of his father who often talked about hoping that the court would defeat the Hu people, he joined the army without hesitation. After all, he was the only one in the family, and no one would be sad even if he died in battle.
"Yes, I promise that no matter whether it is Chenzhou or other border states, there will be a day when the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe!"
The wishes of the people are really simple. As long as there is no war and they can have enough food and clothes, that’s enough. Unfortunately, the Tianqi Dynasty cannot do it, and the dog emperor is even more unwilling to do it!
After witnessing the battle between their cavalry and the Western Hu people, where they were outnumbered, she felt heavy in her heart, just like when she saw the victims in Binzhou and other places. She wanted to do something for them, but for now, there was very little she could do. A determined light flashed across her watery eyes. They must take control of the entire Chenzhou as soon as possible.
"Um!"
Although he felt it was unlikely, Zhao Pohu nodded anyway. The Second Master and his wife were both good people, capable and willing to treat soldiers and civilians like them well. Regardless of whether it was possible or not, he was willing to believe that they would really lead them to defeat the Hu people and let the people live a good life.
"Zhao Pohu, how's your hand? Can you move your fingers?"
After drinking the water, Mu Yunran finally felt alive again. While asking questions, she had already squatted down and held Zhao Pohu's hand. If she hadn't been too busy last night, she would have definitely observed how Wanwan reconnected her broken arm.
“Yes, yes…”
Zhao Pohu couldn't help but blush at the sudden stare of her, who was still holding his hand. Even though he knew she was a military doctor and was simply concerned about his injuries, his ears turned red.
"Really? Can you move for me?"
Not noticing anything unusual about him, Mu Yunran stroked his arm again, still holding his hand with her other hand.
Shen Xiangwan, who was watching from the side, held her forehead in silence. If Yan Junling saw this, he would probably be jealous.
"good···"
Zhao Pohu nodded subconsciously and moved his fingers at the same time.
"It really moved, Wanwan, his fingers really moved."
Seeing this, Mu Yunran couldn't help but exclaimed, it was amazing, after the broken arm was reconnected, she could actually move freely. If she had the chance in the future, she would definitely ask her in detail how she did it.
"You'll be able to do it in the future."
Shaking his head with a smile, Shen Xiangwan was talking nonsense in a serious manner. It was impossible for a broken arm to be reattached immediately, or even to be able to move the fingers. Moreover, even if it healed in the future, the broken arm would no longer be able to exert force, and at most it could only do some simple work. On cloudy and rainy days, the sutured area would still ache slightly.
"When you have time someday, tell me in detail how you reattached your broken arm."
Mu Yunran nodded and tightened her grip on Zhao Pohu's hand. When she looked up, she saw that his face was flushed. She subconsciously reached out and touched his forehead: "Is it feverish? Is it caused by the wound?"
"Hahaha···"
Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan couldn't hold it in any longer, laughing so hard she was staggering. Why hadn't she noticed Yun Ran was such a talent before? You're a woman, a very beautiful one at that, holding the hand of a man who's clearly never been married, and rubbing his arm all over. It would be strange if you didn't blush. Is she feeling hot? What was she thinking?
"What are you laughing at?"
Mu Yunren frowned unhappily, still not reacting.
"Um, Madam Yan, can you let me go first?"
Looking at them back and forth, Zhao Pohu asked embarrassedly with a red face.
"Huh? Sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Hahaha···"
Mu Yunran belatedly looked down at her hand, her pupils shrinking as she realized what she had done. She quickly pulled her hand back, her beautiful face suddenly turning redder than Zhao Pohu's. Shen Xiangwan, who had been trying to hold back her laughter, suddenly laughed even more exaggeratedly. The guards outside the carriage looked at each other, none of them understanding what she was laughing at.
