Chapter 24 The end result of floating is that he will become a floating
Yuan Xi watched Gongsun Zan's few cavalrymen put the corpses of their troops on their horses and left, thinking that in these troubled times, there are people everywhere with unrecognized talents.
Just like the dead general, if he could meet the Ming Lord, he might become famous.
But now, due to bad luck and bad luck, he died in obscurity in a battle.
He ordered the soldiers to peel off the armor from the corpse of Baima Yicong and throw them all onto the donkey cart.
Even a tragic victory in a war is much more cost-effective than a small defeat because it can clean up the battlefield.
In particular, building a set of armor is extremely expensive and involves a series of processes such as iron ore mining, iron smelting, steelmaking, and armor making. He alone in the small Beixin City cannot afford it.
But it is much easier to obtain loot from the battlefield and make some modifications to obtain armor.
Today's victory was unprecedented in the past three years, and it was a coincidence. The armored infantry who were waiting for work defeated the cavalry that was attacking from a distance, and there were two generals, Qu Yi and Zhao Yun, to help. It can be said that the right time, the right place and the right people took advantage of it.
Seeing a set of armors and weapons being put on a donkey cart, Yuan Xi felt happy. No wonder later generations said that when a cannon goes off, there are thousands of taels of gold.
However, this is not enough. Only by defeating Gongsun Zan and bringing the entire territory of Youzhou under control can we fully utilize Youzhou's rich salt and iron resources, realize Yuan Xi's farming plan, and establish his own territory from the troubled times.
After this battle, Gongsun Zan's army will definitely be more cautious in the future. This kind of good opportunity is rare.
The living and injured horses that were still able to walk were taken away, and the dead were carried on the carts, along with their armor and weapons. The soldiers cleaned up for half an hour before cleaning the battlefield and preparing to push carts back.
There were corpses all over the ground waiting for Gongsun Zan's army to come and bury them. Yuan Xi was afraid that the night would be long and there would be another pursuer, so he called everyone to return to Beixin City quickly.
He looked at Qu Yi, who had a slightly unhappy face on the left, and Zhao Yun, who was a little silent on the right, and felt extremely proud in his heart.
I also have two generals!
He turned around and said a few words to Zhao Yun, then he felt dizzy. Then he slowly calmed down from the excitement and felt some pain in his waist. When he lowered his head and looked, he found that there was a hole in the armor around his waist.
Blood slowly oozed out.
He touched his hand and found that there was a lot of bleeding. He immediately understood that he had been pricked by the opponent's horse during the battle. Although it was not directly penetrated, he was still injured.
Too careless.
He has been cautious in the past few years. He has won two battles in a row in the past few days and has become swollen. He dared to face Baima Yicong head-on. This loss was not unjust.
How can things always go smoothly if there are no weapons or eyesight in the battle formation?
You won’t be sucked up to your waist, right?
He staggered twice and was about to fall off the horse.
Wu Zhao drove the carriage back to Yuan Xi's mansion alone, and a servant took the carriage away.
Wu Zhao stood in the courtyard not knowing what to do. Looking at Yuan Xi's appearance when he left, he might not be able to come back for a while.
She didn't know what to do, so she walked around in the yard and found that there were many houses in the mansion, but there were only a few servants and maids. She wanted to go up to help, but she was politely rejected.
This was the first time in the past few years that she felt so relaxed.
A few years ago, her husband fell ill, and they got married to celebrate the occasion. Unexpectedly, after her marriage, her husband's health deteriorated and he eventually died of illness. Her mother-in-law's family regarded her as an unlucky person, so she returned to her parents' home in anger.
She was newly widowed and in mourning at the time, but luckily she had her father taking care of her. However, the good times did not last long as her father was imprisoned for his crime and died in prison.
At this time, the government and the public, fearing the power of powerful ministers, drew clear boundaries with her family, making her life even more difficult.
Then came the continuous disasters and chaos, the war in Luoyang, the generals attacked each other, the emperor moved to Chang'an, Luoyang was repeatedly robbed by bandits, and she hid in her mansion, feeling uneasy all day long.
In the end, the Southern Xiongnu tribe in Bingzhou lost control and took the opportunity to go south to plunder and sack Luoyang.
Late one night, her mansion was stormed by Huns soldiers. In the panic, all the servants fled. She wanted to hide her father's only book collection, but she did not have time to escape.
During her busy schedule, she painted her face with the pine ink cinnabar collected by her father. This stuff was originally used for calligraphy and painting seals in the study. It is said that it will not fade for decades and hundreds of years. If it is accidentally applied to the skin, it will also
It does not fade over the years.
As soon as she did this, her face immediately became extremely terrifying. She tried her best to distort her eyebrows, and her appearance became even uglier.
But what she didn't expect was that the Huns kidnapped her and took her to the north along with some of her father's orphan books.
She followed the team and her feet were bruised several times. Some women were raped and humiliated along the way, some resisted and were killed, and some died of exhaustion on the road.
She escaped because of her ugly appearance, and also thought about running away, but she was a little unwilling to think of her father's relics being taken outside the Great Wall by the Huns.
Finally, in the valley outside Beixin City, she waited for her chance.
The Huns were ambushed by Han soldiers and had no time to worry about themselves. The Han woman fled in all directions. She found an opportunity and wanted to escape with her father's relics, but it started to rain again.
Those books and the like should not be exposed to water. She did not dare to open the box and could only hide under the car and wait. However, she was discovered by the Huns chief Liu Bao and was stabbed in the shoulder.
It happened that Yuan Xi came with his men and had a fight with Liu Bao in front of the car.
When she saw that Yuan Xi was defeated and was being pinned down by Liu Bao, and was about to be stabbed to death by a bronze spear, she didn't know where she got the courage to stab Liu Bao's foot with the dagger she picked up.
With her help, Liu Bao was finally defeated, and she fainted due to excessive bleeding from her shoulder.
When she woke up, she was already in the mansion.
Only later did she discover that the leading general was Yuan Xi, the second son of Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao.
Now she did not dare to reveal her identity. At this time, her father was convicted and killed. She was considered a criminal in the court and was classified as a rebel Dong Zhuo.
Yuan Shao was the vanguard of the rebellion against Dong. If she exposed her identity rashly, it might be detrimental to her. In addition, her father, her backer, had passed away. Who would speak for her?
But her father's collection of books made her uneasy. Many of them were single copies, containing historical records and scriptures from hundreds of schools of thought. If they were lost, it would be a huge loss.
But she hasn't come up with a suitable excuse to take it back.
She struggled for most of the day, but after hearing a commotion at the door of the mansion, she hurriedly walked out and saw a group of soldiers carrying the unconscious Yuan Xi in.
Wu Zhao saw Yuan Xi lying on a stretcher, with blood oozing out from the bandaged waist area. His face was pale and his eyes were closed tightly. He couldn't help feeling dizzy.
She saw the general driving the car in the morning yelling at her: "Come here and lend a hand, and treat the young master together with the doctors!"
Wu Zhao heard this and hurried over.
After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Xi lay on the bed and opened his eyes.
After a while, he remembered what happened before he fell into coma. He looked at the wound on his waist, which had been bandaged with herbal medicine, but it still hurt a little.
He thought about what happened during the day and smiled bitterly. It seems that he should be cautious next time.
He raised his hand slightly, and Wu Zhao suddenly woke up beside the bed and said happily: "General, are you awake?"
"The wound is not deep, but there was a lot of blood loss. The doctor has stitched it up."
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
Wu Zhao was still frightened, "Young master has been unconscious for more than a day. I'm afraid he's hungry. I'll go to the kitchen and make a bowl of porridge."
Yuan Xi was startled, has it been almost two days?
He suddenly remembered something and lost his voice: "It's broken!"
