The sun is bright, the moon is bright, and the wind is clear, the night is just right.
Camp, main tent.
As soon as I opened the tent, hot air hit me in the face.
There was bright candlelight in the tent and endless voices.
There was a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat, with sharp features and a strong voice. He had a beard on his face and a kind of imposing aura. His blazing tiger eyes seemed to be shining with light.
His breathing was restrained and almost inaudible.
At first glance, it was clear that this man was a martial artist with great strength and profound background. He had taken off his upper body armor and inner shirt, revealing half of his bare chest. His skin was brown and dark, his muscles were knotted, and under the candlelight, he looked delicate and shiny. The temperature outside was not high, and he seemed to not feel the slightest bit of coldness, holding a cup of wine and chatting with the people under the tent.
In addition to him, there were several other people sitting on both sides of the tent.
However, they were not discussing how to attack the city, but how to divide and manage the entire territory of Longwu County after taking it, which force to ally with and help each other, who to keep a distance from, and how to make friends with those far away and attack those nearby... The situation looked very good.
The atmosphere was just right and someone mentioned "Zhang He".
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly turned cold.
The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat of the tent also looked sullen and said unhappily, "It's a good day, why are you mentioning such an unlucky person?"
“…I made a mistake.”
The person who said the wrong thing came out and confessed his crime immediately.
The middle-aged strong man waved his hand and chose to let the matter go.
His current situation is rather delicate, and it is a time when he needs to rally people's hearts, and he doesn't want to hurt their feelings because of Zhang He.
at the same time.
Kang Shi also obtained enemy intelligence.
He read through the entire article quickly, then uttered a sarcastic sneer: "So he is just a stray dog, being chased away from home and having no place to stay, so he came here and tried to take over the magpie's nest. Tsk, does he know that he has become Zhang Yongqing's pawn?"
Xian Yujian was surprised: "The enemy is under Zhang Yongqing's command?"
He had a good impression of Zhang Yongqing, a compassionate doctor.
I didn't expect that the other party would be the first to attack my family.
Kang Shi shook his head: "Not really."
"Not really?"
Kang Shi raised his hand and pointed at the enemy camp.
"Our enemy this time is Zhang Yongqing's childhood classmate, his surname is Qian, his given name is Yong, and his courtesy name is Shuhe. When they were young, they had the same scholar as their teacher, and they were classmates. But this man's background is much better than Zhang Yongqing's, so compared with Zhang Yongqing, who had a bad career, he is much more glorious. He once served the Xin Kingdom and rose step by step with his military merits. But he didn't expect the Xin Kingdom to be destroyed, and he was not reused after many twists and turns. Finally, he turned to his classmates to get a place to live."
It would be better to say that it is a reliance rather than a surrender.
Qian Yong brought his own troops to help Zhang He defend his territory, and when necessary, he would go to war with him, while Zhang He only needed to provide temporary accommodation and humanitarian support. Compared with the relationship between master and servant, the two were more like parasites and the parasitized.
Mutual benefit, each gets what they need.
Once Qian Yong is fully grown he can start his own business.
In the future, I will be able to help each other with Zhang He.
Xian Yujian was puzzled: "From what the military advisor said, Zhang He and Qian Yong had a very close relationship. Why did he say Qian Yong was a stray dog being chased?" Sometimes classmates are even more reliable than blood ties. Could it be that these two had a conflict in the end
Kang Shi curled his lips and said, "Everyone has ambitions."
Qian Yong felt that he was becoming more powerful. When he was young, he was proud of his good family background and had a natural sense of superiority over Zhang He, who was born in a poor family. Now their situations were reversed, and he had to rely on the other. These differences were not obvious when he was down and out, but when Qian Yong's life became stable, they would be magnified invisibly, nourishing his restless heart.
Plus—
"Zhang Yongqing is such a cunning fellow, how could he not see Qian Yong's ambition? Even though he doesn't look very good, he has a good plan. Whenever he goes into battle, he always asks Qian Yong to send out his men, and quietly suppresses Qian Yong's development... With this, it would be strange if they don't go their separate ways." Kang Shi laughed, "After all, not everyone can be as 'deeply affectionate' as the Lord and Lord Zhaode."
Xian Yujian: “…”
He is honest and not stupid, even his lord makes fun of himself - if there is a March 15th crackdown on counterfeiting, "Tangdi Love" will be the first to bear the brunt.
Xian Yujian: "So Zhang He added fuel to the fire?"
"It's almost certain..." Although Kang Shi felt that Zhang He was not good-looking and was not suitable to be his master, he also checked his background when he was choosing a master. "My guess is that the two of them probably broke up secretly, but they couldn't make a scene openly, lest they give someone with ulterior motives a chance to take advantage of them, so they came to this compromise. If Qian Yong wins, Zhang He gets rid of an ambitious burden; if Qian Yong loses, Zhang He kills two birds with one stone... Whether he wins or loses, he will benefit."
Kang Shi snorted and laughed: "Perhaps, the idea of attacking Longwu County at this time was secretly given to Qian Yong by Zhang Yongqing."
Yu Zi was quite indignant after hearing this.
"I thought Zhang He was a good person..."
She paid more attention to the wounded camp, and the wounded soldiers consumed the most in their daily lives, and many of the herbs were purchased from Yi Ru. Since the monopoly business was the most profitable, how much profit had Zhang He made over the years? How could he not care about the feelings at all
Xian Yujian nodded in agreement: "Me too..."
The two sighed, feeling as if they had been cheated.
At this time, a soldier came to deliver a message.
"Military Advisor, everything is fine."
They cooperated with the scouts and seized the opportunity precisely. When the enemy's logistics were fetching water, they mixed enough drugs into the water. The water would flow through the underground water and become the enemy's drinking water. Because it was diluted in large quantities, the drugs would not take effect immediately after entering the human body, and the effect would not be so obvious, but it was enough to affect the enemy's actions in the second half of the night...
The timid will die of starvation, and the bold will die of gluttony. That would be the best time for a night attack. Kang Shi weighed it up and thought that with his limited manpower, he might be able to defeat Qian Yong's troops. If he failed... They were so close to Nanyu County, and if the situation was not good, he would flee immediately.
Running away is sometimes the best option.
It’s three o’clock in the night.
This was the time when the human body was most sleepy. Many soldiers felt more sleepy today than before, but they didn't think much about it. They followed their lord out of Lingzhou and traveled a long way to the place where they would settle in the future. They were a little tired mentally and physically, and sleep was the best way to recover. They found a place to lean on, closed their eyes, and soon fell asleep.
The soldiers on night patrol also yawned from time to time.
Still trying to cheer up.
The herbs provided by Yu Zi, the stronger the strength, the less affected, and vice versa. The soldiers guarding the gate of the camp were all low-ranking officials. Although they felt sleepy, they had no urge to lie down. They just yawned repeatedly, their minds were confused, and their reactions were slow...
At this time, someone with sharp eyes saw a shadow in the darkness.
"Who is it? Who is coming?"
In the dark night, the shadow said, "Night Watch."
"Where's the token?"
"here."
The soldier looked carefully and found that the so-called shadows were actually a patrol of 25 soldiers. Most of them had dark complexions due to lack of personal hygiene during the march and fighting, and it was difficult to tell their original appearance. At first glance, it seemed that all of them had the same face.
"Well, the token is fine. Did the patrol find anything?"
"Found something? Oh, how could we have found anything? We walked around in a circle but didn't even see a ghost. If it wasn't so cold, we brothers would have been sucked dry by bugs." The speaker was a minor officer in the team.
"Alas, I almost froze to death."
After some small talk, they were allowed to pass. However, the patrol leader was stopped just after taking two steps: "Wait—"
The patrol leader turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
"What's with all this blood on you?"
The soldier guarding the camp gate pointed at the team leader behind him.
The blood had dried up and the smell had dissipated, but the guard was sleepy and his sense of smell was not as sharp as usual. But when the patrol team turned around to leave, he saw the blood in the bright moonlight. His brain was clear in an instant, and he called out to stop the people.
"Ah, this blood... I secretly hunted some wild game on the road to satisfy my craving. I haven't eaten much these days..." The patrol leader explained slowly, but secretly gestured to his other accomplices, and they exchanged glances.
"Game?"
The guard stepped forward to take a closer look.
However, he didn't expect that the patrol leader raised a sly smile at the corner of his lips, and his eyes inadvertently swept across the people at the camp gate.
The guard had just taken two steps forward when a streak of white light left a trail in the air. His eyes blurred, and then there were a few thumps, and he and the other guards fell to the ground uncontrollably before they could make a sound.
"Quick, do it!"
at the same time.
Kang Shi was just about to give the order, but he was stunned when he noticed that the fire in the camp was unnatural and had a tendency to spread.
"Who did it?"
He looked around.
"Who took action in advance?"
_(:з」∠)_
It was so sad. On the first day of New Year's Day, my grandfather had a high fever and he got a newborn bed. They are the oldest and youngest in the family. My grandfather is old and he is the only old man in the family. He has a bad temper and cries loudly when it's time for dinner. He can't wait any longer. The whole family cares about him. But in the ward, the nurses are limited and there are so many other children. How can he eat first? Sigh...
I immediately placed an order for a nebulizer, and when his condition improved and he could be taken home for nebulization, I would do the nebulization treatment at home (my dad was so angry that he didn't even eat at night because he couldn't see his leather jacket).
PS: Oxygen concentrators, blood oximeters, nebulizers... I see their prices soaring one after another, but I can't get the ones I need, which is so frustrating.
