Chapter 2318 Wake Up
This was completely contrary to the Meng family's way of doing things. General Meng therefore looked down on General Guo. He said, "Just listen to what General Li says."
"But now General Guo is gone," Bai Shan said, "since those things haven't been divided, they still belong to the army. Now it's you and General Li who make the decisions in the army. As long as you two agree, everything will be fine."
General Meng was startled, and after a moment hesitantly said, "That's not good. There's also the chief steward. General Guo didn't take these things directly because General Ashina was there."
"General Ashina won't mind," Bai Shan said confidently. "As long as we can keep the five cities of Kucha from being in chaos, as long as we can keep the roads open, and as long as we can hold on to these 2,500-plus soldiers, General Ashina won't mind even if we just distribute the spoils among the soldiers below or even send them all back to the Kucha palace."
"How do you know?"
He guessed.
But at this time, Bai Shan said seriously: "I know General Ashina, I can promise you."
We’ll talk about it later if he minds. Let’s first look at what happens within these three steps.
General Meng fell into deep thought, and Bai Shan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can discuss this with General Li first. From what I know about General Guo, he won't mind this."
Of course, General Guo wouldn't mind. He had always been critical of his father's behavior, but a son shouldn't criticize his father's faults. Moreover, General Guo had openly scolded him, thinking that he was unfilial to his father.
"People like us are living on our own two feet. We're more dangerous than thieves. Life is short. If we don't enjoy it while we're still alive, are we going to wait until we die and go to hell to enjoy it?"
General Guo said, "And who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you and the others? These things in my hands are for my enjoyment now, but after I die, won't they still be left for you?"
He sighed again, "You've never experienced hard times. Think about when I was a child. Although I was born into the Guo family in Taiyuan, I was born in troubled times. If I hadn't had a lot of strength and knew a few words because of my family's education, I would have become a dried-up skeleton, not to mention you..."
Whenever this happened, General Guo was speechless. He had discussed this matter with General Meng in distress. There was nothing he could do. He had few friends, and General Meng was similar to him in family background and position, and the two had similar personalities, so he couldn't help but pour out his troubles to each other.
So General Meng knew that Guo Zhao would not only not care, but would be very happy about it.
But I don’t know if General Li would be happy about it.
Bai Shan seemed to know what General Meng was thinking, so he said to him, "You can go to the logistics department to get the golden Buddha and bring it to discuss this matter with General Li."
General Meng: ...He thinks this person is annoying, but this method is very likely to work.
General Guo of Shangliang loves money, and General Li of Xialiang naturally loves money too.
General Meng glanced at Bai Shan and turned away.
Bai Shan goes to find Man Bao.
Manbao was visiting General Guo in medical tent No. 1. He had woken up again.
Manbao felt his pulse and asked someone to bring him rice porridge and medicine. She said, "You are recovering well. You will be fully awake in two days."
General Guo asked in a hoarse voice, "How is my father?"
Manbao paused and said, "The situation is not good, but your most urgent task is to take care of your body."
General Guo was a little worried, but also seemed relieved. From the sound of his voice, he knew he was still alive.
He quickly asked, "What is the current situation in the army?"
Bai Erlang and Liu Huan came running over after hearing the news. They said, "How can you still be bothered with all this? You should heal your wounds first. Your life was bought with our blood."
General Guo's face was filled with confusion. "What?"
Bai Erlang rolled up his sleeves and said, "See this blue spot? We drew a lot of blood for you. At least one-third of the blood in your body is ours."
Liu Huan nodded, "That's right, you have to take good care of yourself, otherwise our blood will be wasted."
Manbao: "And my medicine."
General Guo was so distracted by them that he immediately forgot what he wanted to ask. He waited until he had eaten the porridge and the medicine and was about to fall asleep before he muttered, "I seem to smell the odor of a dead person."
Manbao and several others: ...
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but drift to the area separated by a curtain. It was cold now, so General Guo's body didn't have much of a smell after two days. That's why they kept him in the medical tent. Now...
It seems that General Guo has to be moved.
So after General Guo fell asleep, Manbao discussed with everyone and decided to move him to the medical tent No. 2 next door to be with everyone.
Bai Shan came over and saw it, nodded and said: "This is good, there are many injured soldiers over there, and he won't have time to think about it if everyone talks.
Now, apart from these few people, only those above the rank of lieutenant general in the army knew about the news of General Guo's death.
The rest of the people are still in the dark.
They carefully moved the sleeping General Guo to another place, and told the outside world that General Guo was out of danger, but General Guo was still in a critical condition, so in order not to disturb General Guo, they moved him out temporarily.
No one in the army suspected it.
It was no secret that General Guo was hit by a stray arrow. Many soldiers saw it at the time. For the officers and soldiers in the army, it was a blessing that General Guo was alive.
It doesn't matter if he's seriously injured. As long as he's still alive, everyone still has a backbone in their hearts.
Once the news of General Guo's death spreads, people's hearts will be shaken, and I'm afraid that before the people in the Kucha King City take any action, their soldiers will flee the camp first.
So when everyone saw that General Guo was moved out, they were not worried but felt relieved. This meant that the general was still alive and would most likely recover slowly like General Guo.
At that time, General Guo was also hit by a stray arrow, and they all saw it.
While they were busy here, there was finally movement in the Kucha King City, and they started sending people to scout.
The scouts discovered it and reported it immediately.
General Li sent General Meng away, but after hearing the report, he sent someone to invite him back. The two of them discussed it and finally chose a box of jewelry and gave it to a clerk, asking him to deliver it to the capital of Kucha under the protection of several soldiers.
Along with the jewelry, there was also a letter written by Bai Shan.
General Li read the letter at that time. If he had not clearly stated that it was a feint of surrender, and that among the five of them there was a son of a noble family, a grandson of the Minister of Revenue, and the emperor's imperial physician and son-in-law, he would have doubted whether he was really going to surrender to Kucha.
It turns out that people who read books are very smart and can make fake things sound like the truth.
They had just sent away the clerk who was delivering the letter, and turned around to be greeted by a man with a high nose and deep eyes.
Bai Shan saw the smile on the other person's face fade slightly. General Li didn't know their grudge and nodded at him and asked, "Erge, what's the matter?"
See you at 6pm
