Late at night, Zaozuo is still writing big characters seriously. Hongdou muttered in her heart, the former princess was not so easy to learn, probably because today's things scared him and didn't dare to sleep.
Zaozao wrote thirty large characters, and his hand was sore. Putting down the writing brush, Zaozuo said: "Fetch water, I want to take a bath." Although Zaozao is not very particular about it on weekdays, the habit of taking a bath before going to bed has been developed. Otherwise, you will feel uncomfortable sleeping.
Hong Dou stayed by the bed because he was worried that dates would have nightmares. I couldn't help but fall asleep after guarding the back, as if I heard someone crying in a daze.
As soon as Hong Dou opened his eyes, the door opened. Huo Changqing strode in from outside. When he walked to the bed, Huo Changqing gave Hongdou a fierce look at the jujube who was crying and calling his parents. This girl is just a decoration and doesn't take care of people at all.
Adzuki trembles with fright.
Huo Changqing held the jujube in her arms, gently patted her on the back and said, "Don't be afraid, Grandpa is here!"
In fact, Zaozao didn't wake up, he instinctively called: "Father, mother..." In Zaozao's subconscious mind, as long as his parents are around, he won't be afraid.
Huo Changqing is not so relieved, but he kept patting Zaozao's back and whispered: "Don't be afraid, Zaozao is not afraid, Grandpa is here..." Huo Changqing is not jealous either, Yun Qing and Han are the relatives of Zaozao. My mother, there is no one in the world who can pass the biological parents.
Zaozao cried for a long time, and also cried for a long time. Later, the voice became lower and lower, and then fell asleep deeply.
Hongdou dare to touch the forehead of Zao Zao, and found that Zao Zao's body temperature was normal, and there was no fever as she imagined. In Yucheng, lack of medical treatment and medicine, in case of fever is also very troublesome.
Huo Changqing didn't dare to go away, staying beside Zaozao all the time. He didn't leave until dawn.
After half an hour, Zaozuo woke up.
Seeing Zaozao and preparing to go to practice, Hongdou hurriedly stopped her and said, "Lord, you didn't sleep well last night, so let's sleep more today!" Thinking of yesterday, Hongdou still has lingering fears.
Zaozao was very strange, and asked: "I slept until dawn, how can I not sleep well?" She will be very energetic, how could she have not slept well last night.
Hongdou smiled and said, "Don't you remember the princess? You had a nightmare last night, and you called the prince and concubine while crying, or the old lady hugged you and coaxed you for a long time."
Zaozao didn't believe: "You talk nonsense, I won't cry!" Zaozao has always been taught that she should bleed and not cry as a human being, so she rarely cries on weekdays. Well, I never cried in front of Huo Changqing. In front of Yuxi, I cried several times.
Hongdou was in a good mood, and smiled and said, "You don't remember the princess!" It's rare to see the princess look very interesting.
Zaozao didn't talk nonsense with red beans, and said: "I won't talk to you, I'm going to practice qigong." After that, he picked up the short knife she killed yesterday and went to the yard to practice qigong.
After breakfast, Zaozao said to Huo Changqing: "Grandpa, are you still going to the wounded camp today?" Zaozao didn't ask a word about what happened last night.
Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "I will go to the tower today." Nor can I go to the wounded camp every day.
On the way to the tower, Huo Changqing said to Zaozao: "Remember that when your father killed someone for the first time, he didn't dare to close his eyes for three days and nights."
After hearing Huo Changqing's words, Zaozao didn't believe it: "Impossible, why wouldn't Dad be like this?" Zaozao didn't believe her father would be so persuaded.
In fact, the reason why the jujube was not greatly stimulated is because the Beibao barbarian who was killed by the jujube was the one who should be killed. Therefore, Zao Zao does not have a heavy psychological burden. Of course, Zaozao's heart is very strong is also an important reason.
Huo Changqing was not angry, and said: "If you don't believe me, and ask your father when you go back, you will know that what Grandpa said is true or false." The first person Yun Qing killed was the assassin who assassinated him. Same. It was the first time that Yun Qing didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights. After seeing the corpses everywhere, the scene was so horrible that he didn't dare to close his eyes, as if he became one of them after closing his eyes.
Zaozao was dubious: "Grandpa, what about my mother? What was the first time my mother killed someone?"
Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. Go back and ask her yourself." Han Yuxi has never killed anyone after marrying Yun Qing. As for whether he has killed anyone before marrying, he doesn't know.
When I got under the city wall, I saw only a few people cleaning and moving firewood, which was completely different from the scene I saw two days ago.
After going up to the tower, Zaozuo would know what was going on, because the enemy did not come today.
After a while, Cui Mo came over and said to Huo Changqing, "Foster father, the Beibaoren have retreated." After fighting for twelve days, the Beibaoren could not bear to retreat.
Huo Changqing hummed and said, "It's almost half of the casualties, and it's normal to retreat."
Cui Mo didn't know what Huo Changqing was thinking, and said, "Just now Chu Shaoguang said to pursue the attack by victory, but I rejected it." Their first task now is to defend the city, and chasing deserters is absolutely forbidden.
Zaozao raised his head and asked, "Grandpa, if this Agu takes the remnants to the West Sea and meets that Baal, will the West Sea be very dangerous?" The situation on the West Sea side was not very good. If another 100,000 troops are added, At that time Xihai was in danger. Although the jujube is still young, I still know a lot about it.
Cui Mo shook his head and said: "From here to the West Sea, I have to ride a horse for half a month, and walk for more than half a month. They don't have that much food to support."
Huo Changqing said: "Don't take it lightly and pay close attention to Agu's movements."
Cui Mo thought about the current situation of Xihai, and said, "Foster father, I don't need to transfer 30,000 people to Xihai." With an additional 30,000 people, the burden of lunatics can be reduced.
Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "Don't think that everything will be fine if Agu retires. You must always be cautious. Xihai is important, and Yucheng is equally important." It has snowed heavily this month, but now it doesn't feel cold at all. If it snows, the North Abductees will definitely retreat.
Cui Mo nodded and said, "I know."
Three days later, it was confirmed that Agu really retired. At this time, Cui Mo got Feng Dajun's reply. After reading the letter, Cui Mo said anxiously: "Foster father, the situation on the madman's side is very unsatisfactory. Let's move another 30,000 soldiers and horses!" Feng Dajun's letter was mainly to thank the brothers for giving charcoal in the snow, and did not ask Cui again. Silent reinforcements.
Huo Changqing was silent and said: "How many soldiers and horses are left in Yucheng?" Hearing that there are 100,000 soldiers with minor injuries on the battlefield, Huo Changqing said: "Then transfer another 20,000 soldiers and horses to Xihai." There are eight. Ten thousand soldiers and horses are enough to defend Yucheng.
The fighting situation on the West Sea was very tragic, and the combat effectiveness of the northern abductees was very strong. In addition, there were cavalry leading the battle, and Feng Dajun was fighting while retreating. In only half a month, he retreated more than three hundred miles.
The personal guard Guo Fei said anxiously: "General, the offensive of the North Abductees was too fierce. In three days, our city will be broken again." If this continues, Xihai may not be able to defend it.
The cavalry in the West Sea was killed by the northern captives and there were very few left. Now, relying on the city wall to resist the northern captives. It's just that these city walls are not as strong as Yucheng, they have lost three cities. Now this city is almost impossible to keep.
Feng Dajun said: "Don't worry, the 30,000 horses and 6,000 cavalry transferred from Yucheng will be here in a few days." The city was lost, and they could snatch it back in the future.
Guo Fei said: "I hope they will arrive soon and improve morale." Because the situation is too tragic, the morale of the army is very low now.
Feng Dajun nodded. Whether it is weapons or armor, the good ones are given priority to soldiers in Yucheng. Not only was Feng Dajun envied, but other generals also envied him, but they didn't fight, let alone disagree, because they all came from Yucheng.
Guo Fei said: "With them, our casualty rate can also be reduced a lot." The North Abductees are too cruel, they can't beat them at all, they can only drag on one day or one day.
Feng Dajun had also anticipated that this would be a fierce battle, so the people and herdsmen in this area were moved away more than a month ago. At that time, some people were unwilling to leave, but Feng Dajun was not a good person. It's okay not to leave, but the cattle, sheep, and grain must be handed over, and he is not willing to leave these things to the northern captives. Under persecution, these herdsmen have to go if they don't want to go. So in the past half a month, although the North Captives occupied a few cities, they did not get much food.
Feng Dajun said fiercely: "We can't beat them, but we can drag them to death." No matter how strong the North Captives are, they can only retreat if they can't get food. If you don't retreat, there is only one dead end.
In the past few years, Feng Dajun's main task in Xihai was to eliminate the opposition forces in Xihai, and everything else was resolved incidentally. After more than three years, the effect was very significant, and the indigenous forces opposed to them were basically eliminated. Otherwise, if the Beibao people colluded with the natives of Xihai, Xihai would definitely not be able to keep it.
When Guo Fei heard this, he couldn't help saying: "If the prince does not lead the attack on Shanxi and Henan, we will let Battelle come back and forth."
Feng Dajun shook his head and said, "Don't say this again. There must be a reason why the prince sent troops to attack Shanxi and Henan at this time." Feng Dajun felt that in the long run, it was more important to capture Shanxi and Henan than to resist the northern abductees.
Guo Fei just said that, and didn't mean anything else: "I just hope that these northern barbarians can be driven out earlier." There are too many people who died.
There was a deep hatred in Feng Dajun's eyes. Many of his brothers died at the hands of the North Abductees, and he hated the North Abductees deeply. Of course, Yunqing is the same.
Feng Dajun said: "It won't be long before I will let them pay their debts." When they get through this difficult period, he must lead his troops to bring the North Abductee's lair. He believes that this day will not be too far away.
Guo Fei focused his head and said: "Yes, we must let them pay their debts." Each of the soldiers in Yucheng had a bloody feud with the Beibao people. R8
