Chapter 127: Bottom Out
Back then, Captain Luo followed the Marquis in a fierce battle on the grassland, and all support and rescue depended on the Wuda tribe. It was the third young master's mother, Wu Yaer, who took care of the wounded.
This is also an open secret in the Zhenbei Army.
When two armies confront each other, the imperial court has its own position, and territory and face can both be reasons for mobilizing troops.
But it’s not the same for each person.
A cup of hot milk tea, a piece of barbecue and a bowl of barley wine can ease the conflicts between each other.
Apart from different languages and appearances, we are all made of the same flesh and blood.
Zhao Tingduo smiled and said, "Okay, you make the arrangements and I'll take the two of them through customs."
He did not refuse Captain Luo's invitation.
The reason why An Fei was able to defeat Yue Lun's troops this time was that he underestimated the enemy.
Secondly, it was a narrow victory.
He defeated Yue Lun's team in one breath, then kept on holding on to An Fei and forced the ignorant An Fei to come over, which led to this battle of closing the door and hitting the rat.
Yue Lun's troops were quite powerful. If An Fei knew that this was a dead end, he would definitely not want to run away, but would fight to the death with him on the grassland.
A trapped beast's fight.
Zhao Tingduo believed that even if his White Wolf Cavalry won the battle, there would definitely be casualties, not just the current injuries, but more than half of them would have died.
Driving people to Suijin Pass was not only a military merit for Loren, but also a way for him to preserve his strength.
Unfortunately, after using this method, the strength of the Broken Gold Guard will be exposed, and it will probably be impossible to lure the enemy into a trap again in the future.
Yue Lun's tribe was not like the small tribes before. Its demise would certainly cause a huge sensation on the grassland, and then arouse the vigilance of those large tribes against the Wuda tribe, and even encircle and suppress it.
This is also the reason why Zhao Tingduo chose to return to the grassland in winter.
Now everyone is in the tribe. It is the lambing time and there is no need to graze. The news is inconvenient, so you can buy yourself enough time.
At least until the snow melts, the Dongyue tribe where the enemy Abuli is located will not send troops.
He could also take advantage of this opportunity to reintegrate and reorganize the three tribes that had already been annexed to form a new Wuda tribe.
Zhao Tingduo took this risky approach to personally enter the Suijin Guards, wanting to see with his own eyes what the battle between Yue Lun's troops and the Suijin Guards would look like.
How many attacks from the Di people can the Broken Gold Guards withstand in the future?
Also, what attitude would the Suijinwei have towards a Dilu person like me who had returned to the grassland?
After all, he had reserved this place as the last resort for A Niang and the tribesmen.
The heart is hidden.
Even if my elder brother and the others are already prepared, I still need to confirm it again and again.
As long as there is a hint of danger, the Wuda tribe must not be allowed to fall into trouble again.
Soon, Zhao Tingduo, who had taken off his white woolen cape and was only wearing the leather armor of a Wu Dynasty soldier, brought Abu and a guard, blended into Zhou Xiaoqi's team, and followed Captain Luo back to the customs smoothly...
At this time, the fire in Suijin Town had been extinguished and the residents had returned to peace.
The wall of Suijin Pass is some distance away from the town, and the blood and screams of the battle there did not reach the town.
Xue Zhuang handed the awake Xu Yan'er to the care of several women. He didn't even care about his own family and immediately took people to count the number of people from house to house.
All strangers who came to the town were detained and questioned carefully.
These days, he was completely focused on selling vegetables to make money, and neglected his responsibility to manage the town, which brought disaster to himself and the Song family.
When he was on the verge of life and death, he almost thought he was dead.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened to Song Liyun.
Not only did he save his own life, he also saved the lives of his wife and several other people in the town.
Song Liyun did not participate in the town's investigation, but returned to Baolinju after rescuing Xue Zhuang.
Now Heijin is seriously injured, Han Ming is also injured, and I am the only one in the family who has some fighting ability.
Although Xue Zhuang said that the garrison was only issuing a warning and there was no danger, she was still worried. She felt at ease only when she stayed at home.
Song Zhenping was unable to enter the town, but the flames in the sky still made him worried.
There were injured children at home, and he couldn't leave, so he waited by the roadside.
When Song Liyun came back, she saw a man standing in the middle of the road like a tree trunk, not sure whether he was frozen or scared. She was shocked.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Song Liyun walked over and pushed him.
Song Zhenping's eyelashes were frosted. Seeing her return safely, his lips moved a few times before he said, "My legs are numb!"
Song Liyun: “……!”
Han Ming had already treated his wound and was guarding the front yard with a knife in hand. Seeing Song Liyun coming back, he quickly asked, "Boss, how is the town?"
He didn't dare tell Song Zhenping about the bandits killing people in front of him.
Song Liyun yawned tiredly and went into the house: "It's okay, Xue Zhuang is arresting people door to door, and there will be news tomorrow morning."
Heijin had woken up, his chest bandaged like he was wearing armor. He was holding Xiao An and crying for comfort. When he saw Song Liyun coming back, he immediately put on a heroic look.
Song Liyun touched its head and said, "Heijin, thank you!"
Heijin was very happy to receive Song Liyun's praise, but his chest hurt so much that he only held on for a moment before starting to whimper again.
After a night of commotion, there was only an hour left until dawn. Song Liyun stopped sleeping and went to the kitchen to boil water and cook.
There are many injured people at home, so they must eat better.
Song Liyun first boiled eggs with brown sugar, then made porridge and steamed buns.
She put the millet into the pot and kneaded the white flour buns. Then she asked Song Zhenping to watch over the pot and light the fire. Then she brought the fried eggs to the wounded.
In the room where she slept, the "Sanchong daughter-in-law" was already dressed and sitting upright.
When she saw Song Liyun enter the room, she wanted to stand up, but her feet and legs were covered with small wounds, so she could only lean on the edge of the kang.
Song Liyun put down the bowl and helped her sit down again: "Auntie, how should I call you?"
The woman turned to look at Song Liyun and said calmly, "Miss Song, tell me, is Jin Sanzhong dead?"
"He's dead! He tied up a few people, and they beat him to death."
Upon hearing the news of Jin Sanzhong's death, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had put down a burden she had been carrying for years. Her eyes were blank as she spoke, "It's good that he's dead. My name is Yunniang, I'm thirty-five years old this year. I have a husband and a son. Little Shitou is fifteen this year."
Song Liyun knew that she was probably talking about her ex-husband.
I heard from Aunt Ma that Yunniang once had a husband and a son. Her son was called Xiao Shitou and was abducted by the Di tribe when he was nine years old.
"Aunt Yun, you can live in my house from now on! I have three siblings and a hired worker, Han Ming. You can stay and help with the laundry and cooking. I don't know how to make clothes."
Song Liyun directly expressed her desire to keep Yunniang.
Yunniang's family was destroyed and she was rescued by Jin Sanchong by chance, but she lived a hard life in order to repay his kindness.
If she were to live alone now, she probably wouldn't live long, or she would fall into the hands of another man.
When Yunniang heard Song Liyun wanted her to stay, she turned around abruptly, her eyes wide open: "Miss Song, don't you mind... that I'm dirty?"
Hi! Do you all feel disgusted by the Dilu people who stir up war like Zhao Tingduo? Feel free to leave a comment!
