Chapter 28 Grain
However, before the dozen or so cavalry set off, two yellow-turban soldiers with blood stained on their bodies rushed over.
One of the Yellow Turban soldiers shouted in panic: "Supervisor Qu, it's not good. Captain Wu was shot by a crossbow arrow while attacking Gejiabao. Now it's almost gone!"
He was really afraid of anything he would come to. Huang Shao's eyes suddenly contracted, and he was shocked and angry. "What's going on? Wu Ding is a warrior who practices the third level of strength. How could he fail to attack a small village fort?"
The Yellow Turban soldier was frightened by Huang Shao and quickly said tremblingly: "Qi Zhuang Qu, Captain Wu has not failed. He has already broken through the Gejia Fort and obtained a lot of food and grass!"
"But after breaking through the Gejiabao, Captain Wu fell in love with a woman and said he wanted to rob her and serve the coach Qu. Unexpectedly, there was a scholar in the Gejiabao. While Captain Wu was not prepared, he used a crossbow on the wall to shoot Captain Wu to seriously injured!"
"Damn idiot!"
Huang Shao clenched his fists and his anger surged in his heart. He stared at the Yellow Turban soldier and asked, "Where is that scholar? Have you caught it?"
The Yellow Turban soldier did not dare to look at Huang Shao's eyes and lowered his head to report: "The scholar was moving too fast and he ran away. However, he was seriously injured after being hit by two arrows. He would definitely not last for three days!"
Huang Shao was so angry that he laughed back and pointed at the Yellow Turban soldier, not wanting to say a word.
Gao Cheng heard something outside the forest and looked up. He saw that two or three thousand men under Wu Ding were driving a wooden cart and slowly walked. Bags of grain were piled on the cart. All the grain and grass were enough for 20,000 people to eat for several days.
When Huang Shao saw Wu Ding's subordinates come back with food and grass, his expression calmed down slightly. He immediately took Gao Cheng forward and dug it out on the grain truck. He checked it and found that the quality of the food and grass was good.
He nodded. Wu Ding has not forgotten the serious matter. With these food and grass, it can temporarily solve the urgent problem.
Gao Cheng glanced at him and saw a carriage behind the team of soldiers. Wu Ding's subordinate Zhao Che was guarding next to the carriage with a worried look on his face.
"Brother Zhao, I heard that Brother Wu was seriously injured. How is he doing now? Is there any danger?" Gao Cheng stepped forward and asked.
It seemed that I could hear the sound outside, and a weak voice came from the carriage, "Is it brother Ziming? Thank you for your concern. Alas, this time I really crawled into the gutter and almost lost my life!"
Gao Cheng's eyes were sharp. Through the gap in the carriage curtain, he saw Wu Ding lying on the carriage with a pale face. His breath was already stable and he should not be in danger of life.
The Yellow Turban soldier who came to report the news just now said that he was seriously injured and was almost out of reach. He didn't expect his injury to be so fast! After thinking about it, Wu Ding must have used Taiping Fu Shui.
The talisman water of Taiping Dao has the function of treating serious injuries. Although it is not a magical medicine for the flesh and bones of life and death, for those who often go to the battlefield to fight, an extra portion of Taiping talisman water is equivalent to an extra life.
"Since Brother Wu is fine, I'm relieved! Brother Wu has a good rest and I'll take a leave in advance." Gao Cheng smiled, then turned around, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He suddenly thought of Wan Ju who was injured by Le Xiong a few days ago. If Wu Ding could generously send a copy of Taiping Funeral Water, Wan Ju might have survived the night attack.
This thought went around Gao Cheng's mind and then disappeared. Wu Ding didn't owe him anything. No one would give him the Taiping Fu Shui that could save his life.
Seeing that Wu Ding was seriously injured and almost died, Gao Cheng realized the importance of a talisman water to a soldier. It was a pity that Wan Ju vented his anger for Gao Tai but lost his life.
After Wu Ding brought his men back, not long after Zuo Bao also rushed back with his soldiers, but he did not bring back much food and grass. As soon as he came back, he hurried to find Huang Shao, as if there was something urgent.
Gao Cheng stood on a big tree on the edge of the forest, looking out from afar. When the sky gradually became late, the light red glow covered the sky, and the clouds in the distance were like burning flames, scenting the sky and the earth.
"Finally back!"
Gao Cheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. On the far ground, two thousand soldiers came slowly with a large amount of baggage. He saw Gao Tai and Zhang Chen in the crowd at a glance.
Not long after, Gao Tai brought his people back to the forest. After seeing Gao Cheng, he hurried out quickly, "Young Master, this trip, the subordinates broke through two village forts and obtained 600 stones of food and grass! I'll hand over the order!"
Six hundred stones of grain and grass! It can be eaten by 3,000 people for half a month, which is enough to support the consumption of Gao Cheng's troops. It seems that it is not as much as Wu Ding's harvest, but Gao Cheng is very clear that Wu Ding can loot so much grain and grass, in addition to looting the big and powerful people, he will definitely plunder the people.
"Uncle Gao, thank you for your hard work!" Gao Cheng patted his shoulder and sighed.
The wheels were rolling, with bags of grain on them. Gao Tai asked Zhang Chen to take people to transport the grain and grass back. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered: "Young Master, I have something to report!"
Gao Cheng's brows moved and said, "Uncle Gao has something to do, just say it."
Gao Tai said: "When I was bringing the troops back, I saw a seriously injured boy on the road. Seeing that this person is of extraordinary temperament, it is very likely that he was a child of a gentry, so I asked someone to bring him back."
The seriously injured boy may be a child of a noble family? Gao Cheng felt aroused his heart and thought of what the Yellow Turban soldier said when he reported the situation in front of Huang Shao.
"What injuries did he suffer? Knife or arrow wound?" Gao Cheng asked.
Gao Tai replied: "It's an arrow injury, two in total, one in the shoulder and the other in the chest, it seems to have damaged the meridians between the heart and lungs, and it's still unconscious now!"
Gao Cheng thought to himself that it was true. The young man he saved was the scholar who almost shot Wu Ding to death. "Uncle Gao, how many people saw this when you saved this person?"
Gao Tai frowned and thought for a while before saying, "There are only Zhang Chen and a few ordinary soldiers. The boy fainted in the grass at that time. When I brought him out, there were not many people nearby."
Gao Cheng nodded, briefly told him about Wu Ding's affairs, and then said softly: "Uncle Gao, since the person has been saved, then save him to the end. After returning, let Zhang Chen and those people not talk nonsense! In order to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Gao Tai was silent for a moment, but he didn't expect that the boy he saved would have the ability to kill Wu Ding, a practicing samurai. He said in a deep voice: "What the young master said is so much, I'll explain it immediately."
After saying that, Gao Tai bowed, turned around, and walked quickly towards the direction where Zhang Chen was. He and Zhang Chen were both calm and composed, and Gao Cheng was very relieved of them.
Looking at Gao Tai's back as he left, Gao Cheng suddenly laughed, "Interesting. If he didn't take the bow and arrow, Wu Ding's strength would still be above me. This scholar almost killed Wu Ding and could escape from the pursuit of thousands of people! I can't even do this! I want to see what kind of person he is!"
"According to the Yellow Turban soldiers who sent the message, this young man was seriously injured and lived for three days. I don't know if it's true. Let's see him first. If it's worth winning over, then find a way to save his life!"
