Just when Lu Yan was minding his own business and chattering to Geng Liang,
The female doctor who had been standing next to her finally couldn't help but had the courage to speak again: "Lu Qiaoqi, please forgive me... What the patient needs most now is to rest, and his mood should not be ups and downs..."
Lu Yan was brought back to reality by the female doctor's words. He lowered his head and saw Geng Liang's condition at this moment.
Lu Yan smiled awkwardly, then stood up and said to the female doctor: "Sorry, sorry, I was stuck in memories for a moment... In this case, I won't disturb Lao Geng's rest. Please take good care of him."
"Folk girls know." The female doctor nodded slightly, then picked up the hair handkerchief in her hand and began to wipe the sweat and tears from Geng Liang's face.
Seeing that he had caused trouble to others, Lu Yan did not want to disturb Geng Liang's rest anymore, so after telling him to "recuperate well", Lu Yan left Geng Liang's courtyard.
The sky outside was a bit gloomy. Lu Yan looked at the sky and couldn't help but sigh: "People have their blessings and misfortunes, and the moon waxes and wanes... Just do it and cherish it."
...
Xiliang, Beidi County.
Zhan Meng led twelve shadow guards and ambush the road where Han Sui's grain truck must pass.
Looking at the slowly approaching grain truck, Yi San licked his lips, showed a bloodthirsty smile and said: "Captain, shall we take action now?"
The shadow guards around them have begun to get excited. They have burned a lot of Han Sui's food recently, and they have even become addicted to burning it.
Zhan Meng stared at the grain truck passing slowly in front of him, but surprisingly he never gave any orders.
Seeing that the convoy transporting grain was about to go far away, Yisi couldn't help but said anxiously: "Captain, if you don't take action, the grain truck will be far away!"
"Do it, Captain!"
Faced with the request of his men to fight, Zhan Meng turned around, glanced around with sharp eyes, and said: "Do it?? Now to do it is to kill someone!"
"?" The shadow guards were a little confused, thinking that they had been well burned before, so why did they have to be killed this time?
There are many smart people in the shadow guard, and Yi Shiyi quickly saw the problem with the grain truck after being reminded.
"Everyone... the captain is right. If we really take action this time, I'm afraid we will fall into Han Sui's trick!"
"Eleven, what did you see?" someone asked in surprise.
Yi Shiyi pointed to the wheel marks at the back of the convoy and said: "Look at the wheel marks of the grain truck... If it is full of grain, the wheel marks cannot be so shallow..."
Before Yi Shiyi finished speaking, everyone reacted immediately,
"What's hidden in the grain truck is an ambush!"
"It's true... Han Sui is so insidious!"
"The captain is so awesome, he can see through Han Sui's sinister intentions at a glance!"
Zhan Meng smiled disdainfully and said: "I'm afraid the ambush in the grain truck is only part of the army, and there may be an army behind it."
Sure enough, not long after Zhan Meng finished speaking, a cavalry team of about 500 people followed the grain truck.
After Han Sui's people had gone away, Zhan Meng said: "It seems that Han Sui has become wary. Let's restrain ourselves a little recently."
"Restrain? That's not like your style, captain!" Otohachi couldn't help but tease.
"Hmph!" Before Zhanmeng could say anything, Yiwu next to him snorted and said, "Although the captain criticizes like crazy, he never does anything he's not sure about."
"..." Zhan Meng rolled his eyes at the guys who were making fun of him and said, "I'm bold, but that doesn't mean I'm reckless! Listen to me and restrain yourself... I'll be able to go back to the Central Plains soon.
, I don’t want to go back carrying your scandal.”
Zhan Meng's words made everyone quiet down instantly. In the past, the crazy and bloody days flashed through their minds...
"Yeah...you can go home now..."
"The captain has never made a miscalculation, so of course we all listen to the captain."
"Then captain, where should we go next?"
Zhanmeng thought for a moment and said: "Guo Jijiu's letter said that Ma Chao had led the cavalry back to Hanyang County, and that 20,000 infantrymen would later enter Sizhou by boat.
He asked us to retreat to Sizhou first, and then take a boat back to Chenliu County.
Calculating the time, Ma Chao's cavalry should have arrived in Hanyang, and the navy transporting the infantry should be arriving soon."
Speaking of this, Zhanmeng suddenly changed his mind and said: "We can't do anything more in Beidi County. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, let's just set off tonight and go to Sizhou!"
"Aha! Is it so fast? I've finally made it to the end!"
"It's great, I can finally go home!"
"Don't shout! Be careful to attract enemies!"
Zhanmeng glared at the group of people and scolded: "Sir, he said, 'The closer we get to victory, the less we can let down our guard. In bloody plots, the hero often dies at the last moment.'"
"What is the bloody plot?" Oji asked with a confused face, "Why do heroes often die at the last moment?"
Zhan Meng said with a straight face: "Anyway, don't let down your guard. I don't want what happened in D-Zone Camp to happen again in B-Zone Camp."
"Brothers understand!" Yi Er's eyes regained their firmness and continued: "We all listen to you, captain!"
Zhanmeng nodded and ordered: "We don't need anything in the temporary hiding place. Let's pack lightly and rush to Sizhou as quickly as possible!"
The twelve shadow guards all clasped their fists and said, "Here!"
While the Yizi Battalion of the Shadow Guards was retreating, the army led by Xu Shu had also successfully joined forces with Ma Teng and Zhang Lu's coalition forces.
The three parties combined had an army of 70,000, and Ma Chao was not as resourceful as Xu Shu. Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing were soon forced back to Linjing County under Xu Shu's arrangement.
But the battle in Beidi County has also come to an end. Han Sui is about to lead the army to reunite and stabilize, and the two sides are about to usher in a real decisive battle!
...
Mid October.
In Taiyuan County, Bingzhou, in a small village near the north, the villagers had a look of fear on their faces, and everyone looked extremely ugly. Because the cavalry of the prairie barbarians was coming again!
Every year at the end of autumn and early winter, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qianghu cavalry would come to plunder. Wherever the cavalry passed, they would burn, kill, and loot, leaving no chickens or dogs behind. It was extremely evil!
The local defenders had no way to deal with them. Firstly, because the invading cavalry were in small groups and came and went like the wind. The local defenders could not catch up with them, so how could they eliminate them? Secondly, the border was long and needed
There are too many places to defend. If the troops and horses are too concentrated in one place, the foreign cavalry will turn to plunder other places, making it impossible to defend against it.
This winter comes earlier and the climate is colder. If the prairie people do not go south to plunder, many people will die this winter.
And this year, the prairie cavalry will come earlier.
At the entrance of the village, several villagers were discussing.
"Have you heard? There are especially many cavalry coming from the grassland this year!"
"I'm afraid our Bingzhou is doing pretty well, but Youzhou is probably going to suffer a big disaster this year..."
"Yes, a relative of mine got reliable news, saying that the leader of Central Xianbei summoned the Xianbei in the east and west, and gathered a large number of people to prepare to kill Youzhou... Tsk, tsk, how miserable!"
"Alas...a few years ago, the village next to us was looted by a group of Xianbei cavalry.
All the old men and women in the village were killed, and all the women and children were kidnapped. In the end, there was not even a dog left in the whole village. It was really terrible."
"I can't stay here anymore in Taiyuan. I'm planning to move to Shangdang County. I heard that not only are the fields divided, but the officials are also given wives."
"Is there such a good thing? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Who will tell you if there is something good except me?"
"It makes sense! Good brothers, let's go together, go together!"
