While Lord Xinling was socializing with the officials, Zhang Ye and Mr. Zhongyue came in together and said: "The situation of the war is clear: hundreds of Qin people attacked the camp at night with light equipment. Fortunately, the camp was empty and remained calm in the face of danger, restraining the soldiers. , Fortify the formation and wait. The Qin people burned some of my camps. When the Chinese army came for reinforcements, Zhang Huang retreated. The casualties, beheadings, etc. will be reported later."
Lord Xinling asked: "Who will come to report?"
Zhang Ye said: "There are envoys from the right camp army who came to report, and the commander of the camp also sent scoundrels to inquire about it. The gentlemen also reported to Mr. Guo."
Captain Daliang said with a smile: "The war is over, let's go back to our tent and rest."
Lord Xinling said: "With the virtue of all your ministers, I dare to send you back to the account after the war is settled."
Everyone stood up and resigned together. Lord Xinling was sent straight to the door of the house, with Lieutenant Huayang accompanying him. After everyone dispersed, Lord Xinling said to Wei Huayang, "I'm sorry for you, sir! I dare you to come back to your house and have a rest." He then sent Wei Huayang to the door of the back house.
Lieutenant Huayang asked: "Is the imperial concubine?"
Lord Xinling was stunned, and Captain Huayang said: "There is a daughter in the back house. Even if she is unbearable, she can still spend the night."
Lord Xinling smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "The war has just been decided, and there are still many things to deal with, so it may be difficult to sleep tonight. I am not as relaxed as the young master."
Captain Huayang laughed and said, "Those who can do this will have a lot of work to do! As a minister, you will not be happy with any flesh, and you will not be happy with any women."
Lord Xinling came to his senses, shook his head, and returned to the front of the hall. At this time, the gentlemen who gathered in front of the mansion had already entered the courtyard. When they saw Lord Xinling coming out, they all greeted him with their hands. Lord Xinling bowed to the ground and said, "I'm so scared tonight. Mr. Wei, I'm afraid Wuji will be in a panic!"
Everyone said: "Your Majesty is as motionless as a mountain, with the pillars in between."
Lord Xinling said: "How dare you! Military salutes are not allowed in the country, and during this war, I hope you gentlemen can do whatever you want." Although the table where the guests had just been entertained was not removed, he sat on the ground in front of the steps. The gentlemen also sat down on the spot, and no one came to take a seat.
Lord Xinling said: "I wish you, sir, would like to express your feelings about the war."
Zhang He said: "Sikong of the right camp reported that at midnight, there was a shout from outside the camp. All the soldiers in the camp got up, Sikong came out of the tent, and the enemy was in front of the camp. Fortunately, Sikong had a method to control the soldiers, and there was no chaos in the camp. We then retreated to the rear of the chariot to resist. The enemy then burned our camp gates, curtains, chariot battles and other items. After about an hour, reinforcements arrived, and the enemy retreated. Simagang of the middle camp also sent out scouts in all directions. No enemy sightings."
Mr. Guo said: "There are gentlemen who lurked in the right camp to observe. What they saw was the same as what the military envoy reported. The people of Qin had no fire, and the fire they burned were all taken from the bonfires in the right camp. The cause of the incident was in a hurry and there was no time to put out the fire. . When the Qin people retreated, there was already a gentleman sneaking up on them, I think they must have found their traces."
Lord Xinling said: "You gentlemen have taken appropriate measures, which is very comforting to my lonely heart. Who can help me?"
Zhang Ye said: "The reinforcements will arrive in a moment, and we will know their situation."
In the meantime, the message outside the door was: "Si Mang of Zhongying is asking for orders."
Lord Xinling stood up and said, "Please!"
All the gentlemen said in unison: "Please!"
Si Mang walked in from behind Zhaobi, held his hands in greeting and said, "I was ordered to guard the city. Although there were police, the enemy did not arrive. I inquired again and again and learned that the right camp was attacked. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the camp, the enemy had retreated by the time of the reinforcements. Today We are invincible in all directions. If we find out the truth, please order us to return to camp!"
Lord Xinling said: "The camp is working hard, but the soldiers and soldiers of Weibo are willing to work hard. The enemy is not far away now, so we must lie down and fight hard, and don't ignore it. - The right camp can rely on this to escape the disaster."
Si Mang cupped his hands and said, "Here!" He turned around and left the house. Then came the order to close the camp and the sound of footsteps.
When the footsteps subsided, Lord Xinling invited everyone to sit down again. Asked: "What can be done about the aftermath?"
Zhang Yue and Zhong Yue looked at each other, and Mr. Zhong Yue came forward and said: "After the solar eclipse, I will go to the right camp with Lieutenant Daliang to announce the reward from the king, and Lieutenant Daliang will rectify the military soldiers; and announce The reward for the reinforcements is to make them return to camp."
Lord Xinling said: "Why encourage him?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "We will take a bucket of millet and transport about ten carts with more than a thousand people. We will arrive at dusk."
At this time, someone outside the door reported: "The envoy from the left side of the Chinese army paid a courtesy visit to the general."
Lord Xinling stood up and said, "Incoming!"
All the gentlemen said in unison: "Pass it!"
The military envoy turned out from behind the screen wall, did not come forward, and stood still in front of the screen wall, holding the festival talisman in his hand. Mr. Cao came down to inspect the festival talisman and said to him: "The Chinese army is leaning to the left."
Lord Xinling said: "Where can those who support Huayang camp?"
The military envoy said: "Each of the ten battalions has one team, all led by the rear captain."
Lord Xinling said: "But let's talk about military affairs."
The military envoy said: "According to the order of the Jin Dynasty doctor, we sent a school to the left to support Huayang with elite troops. When we arrived, we were invincible, but only residual fire remained. We camped separately and scouted the princes in all directions as foreign aid. Wait for the general's order."
Lord Xinling said: "The general commends the camps and comforts them for their hard work. I will go to the camps to work the troops. Although the Qin people have left, the war police have not been eliminated. The camps should lie down and work hard, don't ignore them."
The military envoy said: "Here!"
Mr. Guo asked: "Why did the military envoy enter the city?"
The military envoy said: "Climb the city and enter!"
Mr. Guo asked again: "Why leave the city?"
The military envoy said: "Come out of the city."
Mr. Guo said: "Although the Qin people are dead, the warning message has not been eliminated. Please be careful all the way!"
The military envoy said: "Here!"
Zhang Ye said: "For the military envoy's hard work, he will be rewarded with a bottle of sake and two liters of grain!"
The military envoy bowed: "How dare you!"
A retainer led the military envoy out to receive the reward. The guests sat down again, and Mr. Zhongyue continued: "All the armies on the left are strong and strong, and the Jin officials are serious about it. There are a thousand newly arrived soldiers. They should not be ignored and should be worked hard!"
Lord Xinling said: "It can be compared to the right camp, where we are given ten carts of grain. Even though there are few of them, they can still serve as a long-distance expedition."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous!"
Lord Xinling asked Mr. Guo: "Who is the rescuer?"
Mr. Guo said: "We haven't found it yet. Let's go and investigate in detail."
Lord Xinling said, "I'll be working hard on the day, and I want to go there in person."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "No! There is a new police encounter in Youying. Everything is not messy. There may be something unexpected."
Lord Xinling said: "I just want to see the gentlemen sort out the chaos and bring it back to order."
There was a faint sound of rooster crow. Lord Xinling said: "Gentlemen, you have worked hard. It's hard to sleep at night, so you can take a short rest. We will discuss it again at sunrise."
Mr. Zhu resigned. Lord Xinling turned back to the East Pavilion. The servant had already laid out the mat. Lord Xinling lay down and fell asleep in an instant. Xiao Nu returned to the door and lay down. The child was already asleep next to him.
At sunrise the next day, as if nothing had happened, the team was still forming, raising accounts, and reporting the incident. But everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts. When Dr. Jin Bi came to the camp, he brought the left side of the Chinese army. Lord Xinling sent an order and the rear captain who led the reinforcements came into the city to see him. When the account was promoted, Daliang Wei and Liang Wei's son also came to see him.
After the meal, despite the objections of Zhang Zhen and others, Lord Xinling insisted on going to Youying and the reinforcements in person. One hundred people had to be transferred from the central camp to serve as external guards, and all the servants without official positions were transferred out to serve as close servants. Only Zhang Jue and more than ten retainers were left in the city to handle daily military affairs. Zhang Ye's original suggestion was delayed because of the sudden attack on the right camp. ——Fortunately, there is no news from Zeng Ji. Accompanying Laojun were Daliang Wei and his son, the Mang brothers and the princes of Wei. Originally, I wanted to invite Xu Jia and his son to go together, but Xu Jia said: As long as the road is clear, we have to hit the road, so we should speed up preparations. Therefore, he did not accompany him.
After seeing off Lord Xinling, Zhang Ye and Si Mang inspected the city defense together and arranged the day's affairs. Looking at the sky, the sun has risen very high. My body has warmed up. He decided to go out of the city in person, go to Lu's Car Company, and arrange ten carriages to transport grain. Before leaving, I found the Lu brothers and asked them to arrange twenty loads of corn to be transported in two batches to the military camp outside the south gate. On the way, I also met Xujia and his son who came to check the goods on the mission.
When we arrived at the car dealership, it was Lu Buwei who opened the door. My face looks much better today than yesterday. It seems that the irritation caused by the blood pricking has completely disappeared. However, he still asked about Lu Buwei's physical condition with concern, and Lu Buwei replied: "My great-father's medicine is very miraculous. Take one pill each at night and in the morning, and your energy will double." Zhang Noi took out a small gourd from his arms and Said: "I have asked Mr. Zhongyue. He said that if the wound is not ulcerated, external application of this medicine is enough and there is no need to look at it. If there is redness, swelling and fever, then we will discuss it separately."
Lu Buwei said: "Thank you, Father Zhang."
Zhang Noi said: "But it's okay to treat it as an injury."
Lu Buwei retreated to a corner and untied his left lapel. A wide band was tied across his left chest, like a belt. The knot was tied right at the wound, increasing the compression effect. Zhang Zou asked: "Are you responsible for this?"
Lu Buwei replied: "Uncle Tang will help me."
Zhang He said: "It's very appropriate." Then he ordered Lu Buwei to lie down and untied the belt. The inner corners of the clothes were stained by blood and were dry and adhering to the wound. Zhang Nou gently moistened it with the medicine in his hand and peeled it off. He saw that the bleeding on the wound had stopped, but a two-inch long wound was hideous and dazzling. Zhang He pulled off another piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes, soaked it in the medicine, applied it to the wound, and tied the wide band again.
Lu Buwei tied up his clothes and greeted him again: "The medicine given by Father Zhang is very wonderful. It's cool and clean, and my chest doesn't hurt anymore." He led Zhang Noi to the hall.
Zhang He handed the medicine to Lu Buwei and said, "Take care of it and apply it morning and night, and it will be fine."
Lu Buwei said: "Both Zhang's father and Tang's uncle are good at healing wounds. Did they get it from their masters?"
Zhang Ye said: "If you stay in the grass for a long time, your injuries will be carried with you. If you can't get treatment, your life will not be long."
Lu Buwei said: "Young man always admires the reckless people. He enjoys grudges and wandering around the world."
Zhang He smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "The way of merchants is also to be close. People who travel thousands of miles and travel to and from various countries are even more numerous than the grass."
Lu Buwei said, "That's what Zhang's father said." Before reaching the steps, Lu Buwei said to the man above, "Mr. Zhang is here to visit."
Following the words, Lu Bo walked out of the hall, as if he had been waiting here for a long time. He hurriedly walked down the steps, bowed deeply and said: "I don't know that Mr. Zhang is here, but I am not welcome from afar. Please tell me in the hall." Yi Yiyi will Zhang Noi. Let him go to the hall.
Lu Bojie said: "Yesterday's grand gathering was able to move the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. The friendship between Mr. and Brother Zeng is deeply enviable."
Zhang He didn't answer, but asked: "When did Uncle Lu get to know Brother Zeng?"
Lu Bojie said: "We have known each other not long ago, and we got to know each other through referrals from old friends. It is rare to meet each other, but we suddenly met yesterday."
Zhang He asked, "Who is Brother Zeng, my dear friend?"
Lu Bojie said: "There is a slip over there. I humble myself to go and get it."
