Chapter 6 Postwar Syndrome
When Wei Wuji woke up leisurely, it was already dark.
With his sleepy eyes open, Wei Wuji looked around. What caught his eye was the seven faces he had when he woke up for the first time today.
The only difference is that there is no marching account above your head now.
Around the surroundings, dozens of guards were guarding each other, paying close attention to the movements in the mountains and forests.
Wei Wuji looked at the sky and the stars were already faintly visible. The breeze came and the swallows returned to their nests. Such a leisurely scene completely relaxed his somewhat tense nerves.
"Young Master, you are awake!" This time it was not Zheng Dali, but Wang Xiu, who came up and leaned forward with excitement.
Wei Wuji couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. It seemed that this was the second time he woke up today. I hope he won't be so unlucky again this time.
"The head hurts so much!" Wei Wuji said with his forehead and holding his head.
"Young Master, your injury to fall from the horse has not been healed yet, and it is not serious." Zheng Dali, the bearded man, said roughly.
In his opinion, a man's real man is nothing but a small bump and trip.
But Wei Wuji knew in his heart that although his old injuries had not healed, what really made him faint again was because he felt relieved and exhausted after the war.
After breathing a deep breath, Wei Wuji supported himself with his hands and sat up. Wang Xiu and Zheng Dali next to him hurried forward to support him.
Wei Wuji waved his hand and signaled the two to retreat, saying, "I'm fine, Wang Xiu, tell me what happened after the war."
Seeing that it was about to talk about the serious matter, Wang Xiu looked shaking. After placing a slight in his stomach, he picked up the important words and said, "Young Master, after the war today, the head of Chen's army was defeated by us, and then our army successfully crossed the bridge. Then his subordinates ordered the wooden bridge to destroy and prevent Chen from crossing the river and chasing him."
"Where are we now?" Wei Wuji continued to ask.
"This place should belong to Xianghe County, Chenguo, and our main force in the Wei Dynasty was stationed in Xianghe County, firmly suppressing the Chenguo army."
"Young Master, we are probably safe. Maybe our army will be not far away." Wang Xiu showed joy when he said this.
It is no wonder that after surviving the crisis of life and death, everyone here feels more or less reborn.
People say that it is better to enhance feelings than to pass the window together and carry guns together. After looking at the few people in front of them who were injured and lived and died with him, Wei Wuji suddenly felt that this world was not so strange.
"Today's battle, you are willing to sacrifice your life and die. I, Wei Wuji, thank you here." Wei Wuji stood up with difficulty and clasped his fists at everyone.
No matter whether these people were willing or were forced to fight under pressure, they saved Wei Wuji's life, and he was still very grateful to them. After all, they had nothing to do with him, an outsider.
If Wei Wuji fell into the hands of the enemy today, he would not have to think about how he would be treated as a "private".
Wei Wuji's gift made the seven people in front of him busy and hurriedly returned the gift, "Young Master is so serious."
Wang Xiu even said, "I have put the young master in danger and have no redeem for a hundred deaths. How can I accept the young master's thanks? It's because the young master and I are unaware of it and live and die together, which makes us sincerely convinced."
After Wang Xiu finished speaking, he immediately received the approval from his colleagues around him.
"Yes, yes! What Wang Sima said is reasonable."
"Young master is a man, I, Liu, admire you."
...
These people's words are not flattery. Wei Wuji was young and had the courage to give up crossing the river and fight against the fierce Chen Jun with the army. He was not afraid at all, which was enough to make the generals look at him with admiration.
Wei Wuji is the priest of his son and can live together with his subordinates. Such a superior official is worthy of their respect.
"Okay, I'll get less flattery!" Seeing the scene getting warm, Wei Wuji laughed and scolded, no longer feeling of being distracted.
After living for more than 20 years in his previous life, Wei Wuji was used to cheating and cheating. He really couldn't get along with the sincere faces of everyone in front of him.
Faced with Wei Wuji's scolding, everyone repeatedly said yes, but their smiles remained unabashed. Wei Wuji's current attitude and approachable temperament have greatly increased their favorability.
Even if you are happy, you still have to do the important things first.
Wei Wuji put away his smile and said seriously. "Tell me about the current situation of our army, how are the brothers doing."
Hearing this, all the generals of the army also calmed down their joy, silent, their expressions were a little sad, the scene suddenly became quiet, and a sad look emerged from everyone's faces.
Seeing that everyone was not talking, Wei Wuji turned his attention to Wang Xiu.
Wang Xiu glanced around and knew that others were unwilling to say it, so he could only say it himself.
After sighing, Wang Xiu said slowly, "Report to the young master, our army has killed 263 people in this battle, and 287 people were injured, of which 167 were seriously injured. There are less than 2,000 people who can fight now, and their morale is extremely low!"
After learning that the situation was not optimistic, Wei Wuji also said sadly, "A general's success will bring thousands of bones to pieces!" This is not Wei Wuji's show of pretending, this is really his real feeling.
Although there were less than 300 dead in this battle, far from reaching the level of ten thousand bones being undone. However, it is still difficult for Wei Wuji to let go if he says he dies.
The military generals here also showed sadness on their faces under the influence of Wei Wuji. After all, they were robes that had known each other for many years. Although there was a difference between the top and bottom, it was always sad to watch people disappear.
While the conversation was about to rest, Wei Wuji had almost finished his rest. He slowly stood up and said, "Let's go and see them."
"promise!"
...
"The general is here, we all get up and stand up."
The soldiers curled up in the field, waiting for their respective troops and the captains shouted, all of them endured their tiredness and stood up crookedly.
Their faces were covered with filth, their hair was messy, and their armor was covered with blood. There were their own and others.
And at their wounds, they were wrapped around by some black cloth strips, and I don’t know if they can bandage them.
This is also a fault for Wei Wuji. If he hadn't ordered all the baggage to be abandoned, these soldiers would not have been so desolate.
...
"It's all up, the young master is here to see everyone!" Captain Liu Xuanbacao shouted in a rough voice. This is his group of brothers.
Liu Xuanba's troops performed very well in the battle at Qiaotou. They were brave and tenacious, firmly maintained the central army formation, and blocked the Chen army's multiple attacks.
But the corresponding consequence is that among the more than 200 people killed in battle, Liu Xuanba's troops accounted for more than half. Therefore, Wei Wuji arrived at them first.
When Wei Wuji appeared in front of the soldiers surrounded by the generals, everyone except those who could not move, knelt on the ground to worship.
"Meet the young master!"
But unlike the scene Wei Wuji saw in the previous few hours, the soldiers present lost the energy they had before the war. When they ran away, they could stare at their eyes and dare to be as strong as a fierce man like Zheng Dali.
Now these people are all dejected and are weak in ceremonies to Wei Wuji, like eggplant caused by frost.
It can be seen that after the battle, although Wei Wuji won, he also won terrible. After experiencing a fierce battle, both the spirit, physical strength and energy were cleaned.
Wei Wuji even speculated that if his performance in the battle was not quite good, let alone saluting him, these people would probably not even be able to bird him.
Faced with the current situation, Wei Wuji's head hurt even more and his heart started to curse again.
"What the hell is this? As soon as I crossed over, I was chased by more than 10,000 people. I finally escaped and wanted to cross the river, but I was stabbed in an eddy. Fortunately, I was very lucky and I didn't die. As a result, the following men were in a state of emotion again."
Wei Wuji knew in his heart that just like the army is now, let alone fighting again, it would be a problem to bring these people back intact.
