Following this voice, a tall figure rushed towards Cui Jing, hugged Cui Jing tightly, and patted Cui Jing's back heavily with his thick palm.
Hu Cishi and others looked at it with fear. If it were replaced by a thinner one, it would probably cost two ounces of blood.
A Dian quickly let go of Cui Jing and asked excitedly: "Xiao Jing, why are you here! Are you here to see me and Xiao A Li?"
Cui Jing glanced in the direction of Chang Suining, nodded, and said in a gentle voice: "Yes."
"Then you're late. Little Ah Li just led us to a huge victory!" A Dian said with bright eyes and a show off tone.
"Well, I heard about it." Cui Jing praised him seriously: "Senior is very powerful."
A Dian couldn't help but look even more proud, but he was also very polite and conscious of taking care of others' mood: "Xiao Jing, you are also very powerful!"
He said to Cui Jing with a "you don't have to be disappointed" look: "If there is a next time, we will bring you with us!"
He has a considerate attitude of "If there is another opportunity to be great, let's all be great together."
Cui Jing showed a smile: "Okay, thank you, senior."
Xiao Min and others couldn't help laughing.
Chang Sui Ning asked: "How is Deputy General Jin doing now?"
"Vice Admiral Jin is no longer bleeding!" A Dian said seriously: "The military doctor said that the knife almost hit his heart. Fortunately, the boat was rocking at the time and was not stable, so the stab was a little off!"
Thinking of the traitor, he clenched his fists and said angrily: "It's the boat that helps. If the people are bad, the boat is good!"
His words were not clear enough, so Governor Hu added: "General Ning Yuan, don't worry, Vice General Jin's life is not in danger for the time being."
After speaking, Hu Min suggested that after Vice General Jin regained consciousness, he could be sent to the governor's office in Bianzhou City for treatment, so that he could ask a skilled doctor to use the most suitable medicinal materials.
Of course, this was not just a privilege given to Vice Admiral Jin alone. What Hu Min meant was that all injured soldiers should go to Bianzhou for medical treatment and recuperation.
Governor Hu humbly said that they had nothing else in Bianzhou but some money.
After all, Bianzhou is considered a big food producer, so there is no shortage of money and food.
Thinking that the military pay, money and food allocated by the imperial court had always been tight, and every time he pressed for it, Xiao Min was always coldly criticized and questioned by officials from the capital. When he heard this, Xiao Min almost shed tears of envy at the corner of his mouth.
Despite his heartbeat, Coach Xiao subconsciously looked at Chang Suining, waiting for her to make up her mind.
Chang Suining implicitly asked "whether it would be too much trouble for Bianzhou". After Hu Lin waved her hands repeatedly, she nodded happily and thanked her again and again.
Of course it is something to be happy about when someone takes care of medicine and food.
Xiao Min also thanked her.
Hu Lin sighed and said: "Hu should thank the two generals and all the soldiers on behalf of the people of Bianzhou. It is because of your presence that Bianzhou was saved from this difficulty."
Before leaving the city, he told his remaining subordinates to defend Bianzhou City, and at the same time, he also made preparations for the people to escape from the city through the rear gate.
The Xu army had no military discipline at all. They would burn, kill, and loot when they entered the city. The soldiers had the duty to live and die with Bianzhou, but the people were innocent.
But now, the people in Bianzhou City no longer have to be forced to leave their homes and become homeless. He can also be lucky enough to return home again and hold his lovely little daughter in his arms.
He is lucky.
But those unfortunate soldiers were destined to never return home. Their heroic souls could only remain on this Bian River forever.
The corpses were fished out, carried up, and placed on the river bank. At first glance, they were particularly shocking.
The weather is getting warmer, and with so many corpses, the only option is to bury them nearby.
Cui Jing asked his subordinates to help dig the soil together, and He Wuhu and others also took the initiative to help, allowing the exhausted soldiers to rest.
When He Wuhu was waving a shovel and sweating profusely, shepherd's purse came over and asked him politely: "Our general asked me to ask if you have any wine on you? Can you lend some to our general?"
Drinking was not allowed during the march, and no drinks were prepared in the army.
"Yes!" He Wuhu immediately ordered his brothers to take over all the wine bottles he had brought, and gave a flattering but sincere smile to Shepherd's Purse: "The wines brothers brought are all here.
Pay tribute to General Ningyuan!"
Hearing the slightly more purposeful word "filial piety" and the voice "We are General Ningyuan", shepherd's purse looked him up and down before picking up two wine bottles: "This is enough, for the rest of us."
Put it away!”
Shepherd's purse ran to the river carrying the wine bottle.
Chang Suining unscrewed the wine bottle and slowly poured the wine on the bank of Bianshui River.
She looked at the river hidden in the night, listened to the sound of the river flowing slowly, felt the night wind blowing on her face, and stood there quietly for a long time while holding the empty wine bottle.
Cui Jing stood not far away, quietly looking at the vast Bianshui River with her, with a deep and peaceful awe in his eyes.
Fighting during war is the most brutal, but the big hand that really pushes people into the abyss of sorrow often appears after the war is completely over.
Especially as a general, in addition to the sadness, he also carries the guilt of being unable to reconcile with himself.
For a long time, Chang Sui Ning didn't speak much.
Cui Jing, Xiao Min, Hu Min and others took care of the next affairs together, from the placement of wounded soldiers, to the inventory of seized weapons, money and food, to the follow-up repairs of damaged warships, everything was down to detail.
Knowing that he was rich in experience and his ability to handle these post-war matters was no worse than his own, and that it would not be in vain, the tired Chang Suining allowed himself to sit in front of the fire and stay idle for a while.
The night is dark and the stars and moon are high in the sky.
The soldiers were very tired and gathered around in twos and threes to rest.
A Dian sat next to Chang Suining, holding the fire for her, talking about this and that. Chang Suining bent his legs, folded his hands on his knees, rested his chin on the back of his hands, and looked at the fire.
, and listened quietly.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a ray of music came to her ears.
Chang Sui Ning turned his head slightly and followed the sound, only to see Cui Jing sitting on the ground not far away, holding a green leaf between her slender fingers and placing it horizontally against her lips.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The young man sits quietly and blows leaves. The sound is clear and distant, swaying in the night wind.
This music is like a sound from outside the sky, seems to be taken from the lakes, seas and snow mountains. It is vast and clean. It floats in the sky, and together with the moonlight, it cleans away the remaining bloody air in this world, soothes the tired and painful living people, and also provides relief for those who are tired.
The heroes and undead, who no longer have to distinguish between friend and foe, lead the way home.
The soldiers around listened quietly. Some looked in the direction of their hometown, while others looked at the place where their comrades were buried. They raised their hands and quietly wiped away tears on their scarred faces.
Chang Sui listened quietly and looked at Cui Jing sitting there.
The young man's always cold brows and eyes were particularly calm under the moonlight at this moment. In this calmness, there was the compassion that a military commander never expressed, and there was also the stubborn pursuit of the sign of peace.
A Dian also shed two strings of tears. He didn't understand the quality of the music. He didn't know that the Cui family of Qinghe had been proficient in music theory since childhood and the music was of the highest quality. But he could hear what the music was saying.
They say to those who are awake, don't be sad anymore, move on, it will get better.
They say to the sleeping people that all the pain is over, let's go and take you home.
When Cui Jing put down the leaf, she stood up and walked towards Chang Suining, only to see that she had fallen asleep leaning on A Dian's shoulder.
The girl's tired sleeping face looked particularly peaceful and harmless under the light of the fire, completely different from the general who was carrying a gun during the day to attack the enemy.
Cui Jing did not disturb her and was about to ask Yuan Xiang to get a thick cloak when she saw Yao Ran walking over and gently covering Chang Sui Ning with a blanket.
Seeing that she was sleeping so deeply, even A Dian felt a little worried and reached out to touch her forehead to make sure that she didn't have a fever. Then he felt relieved, held his breath and pursed his lips, without making a sound, and carefully supported her.
shoulder and let her sleep on his lap.
His Highness has become a girl now and has become thinner. He must protect His Highness well.
With an attitude of treating everyone equally, A Dian waved to Cui Jing again, gently patted his other idle leg, and invited him to lie down too.
Cui Jing did not lie down, but sat down by the fire.
He whispered: "Senior, go to sleep, I will guard you."
A Dian was almost too sleepy to be confused. After hearing this, he yawned, nodded obediently, and fell asleep against the big tree behind him.
Cui Jing then sat quietly, adding branches to the fire from time to time to keep Chang Sui Ninghe A Dian warm.
…
The army rested here for two days before finishing the post-war affairs.
In the past two days, the battle report here has been sent back to Bianzhou City.
In the governor's house of Bianzhou, the governor's wife heard the news of the great victory and felt unbelievable. Facing the servant who came to deliver the message, with a look of ecstasy and a sense of madness, her shock turned into one sentence: "...
…Are you crazy or am I crazy?”
The voices of people talking and celebrating outside the tent were particularly harsh in his ears, as if they were mocking him for not getting anything from this trip.
The military advisor said at the right time: "...The general was ordered to guard Luoyang. Now that Luoyang is safe, the general's trip will be considered a success... If the general can successfully take charge of the Xuance Army, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds will be in the future, so there is no need to worry about gains and losses at this time."
Li Xian came back to his senses and smiled: "What the military advisor said makes sense."
He doesn't need to care about the immediate success.
He just... doesn't understand why all the good luck belongs to those people, but he never has the opportunity to show his ambition and be seen by the world.
He had waited for too many years, and finally waited for this opportunity, but his plan failed again, and he inevitably felt like he was being tricked by the world.
But the military advisor was right. As long as he could take charge of Xuance Army and become the new general of Xuance Army, he would not have to worry about not having the opportunity to show off his talents.
The news of Cui Jing's accident has secretly spread in the capital. Soon, the saint will issue an order to take over the position of general of Xuance Army, and he is the only candidate whom the saint can trust.
Thinking of this, Li Xian calmed down.
He said with a smile: "I asked you to prepare some wine. The soldiers and I congratulated each other on the great victory of Bianshui."
The military advisor smiled and responded.
The woman in blue next to Li Xian knelt down and grinded. Li Xian wrote a letter of congratulations in his own handwriting, preparing to send it to Xiao Min and Chang Sui Ning.
However, as soon as the letter was put into the envelope, I heard that Vice General Yu had returned to camp and asked for a meeting outside.
Li Xian's eyes moved slightly, but his smile did not diminish: "Please come in quickly."
Lieutenant General Yu led a thousand light cavalry and left the camp for many days in the name of patrol.
But Li Xian didn't intend to blame him at the moment, he just wanted to hear a brief explanation from the other party - as the future commander of Xuance Army, why might he be more generous at this time?
Soon, Lieutenant General Yu, who entered the tent and saluted, did give an explanation.
But this explanation was completely beyond Li Xian's expectation.
