lady, please calm down

Chapter 321 Young man, the more frustrated he becomes, the braver he becomes!

At Chen time, Tokyo city is under temporary martial law.

One part of the Huaibei Army took the time to rest, and the other part patrolled the streets to prevent the troops from breaking up and causing chaos.

Due to manpower shortage, even the Huotou Army of the Armed Guards had some people taken away to replenish the patrol team.

Where Yang Erlang was, six people were taken away, leaving only four people: him, Xu Xiaoyi, Qin Shengwu, and Kang Shitou.

This made Erlang extremely angry. He felt that his boss, Captain Meng, was deliberately targeting them!

It's okay to be a cook on weekdays. Today, I finally looked forward to a patrol opportunity, but I didn't arrange it for them.
The four of them were left to steam pancakes and boil meat soup for dozens of people, which was not an easy job.

Coupled with the hot weather, Yang Erlang, who was angry, had just had a quarrel with Qin Shengwu over the trivial matter of who would carry the water.

Qin Shengwu was also sulking because he was not sent to patrol, so he was naturally not polite.

Xu Xiaoyi and Yang Erlang grew up together and naturally supported Yang Erlang without any brains, but Qin Shengwu also had Kang Shitou's support.

The four of them cursed each other, perhaps remembering the horror of being shut down, so they refrained from taking action.

At this moment, Kang Shitou took Qin Shengwu to carry water. Xu Xiaoyi stood in front of the chopping board and skillfully kneaded the pieces of dough into a hill shape and arranged them neatly on the basket.

Erlang on the side tore the meat into pieces and threw them into the porridge pot.

Xu Xiaoyi glanced at the absent-minded Erlang and said hello. The two of them worked together to lift the basket full of cooking cakes to another steamer. Xiaoyi then said: "Erlang, it was you who were wrong just now. Qin Shengwu and Kang Shitou were not the same." Liang then went to fetch firewood, and it’s up to us to fetch water.”

This is how the fugitives behave. Even if they know that their brother is wrong, but Erlang has a conflict with an outsider, Xiao Yi will unconditionally stand with him.

As for right and wrong, you can discuss it in private when no one is around, but outside, you will not admit that your brother is wrong at all.

Yang Erlang knew that Xiao Yi was right, but he remained silent and continued to return to the iron pot to add meat to the porridge.

Xiao Yi just thought that Erlang was acting like a donkey again and did not try to persuade him. But after a moment, he turned around unintentionally and saw that his bold friend, who had not been afraid of being beaten since childhood, was secretly wiping away tears.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but said in surprise: "Oh! Why are you still crying? Why don't I stop talking about you!"

Erlang heard this and threw a piece of meat jerky into the pot with emotion, but said: "What kind of army are we joining? Brother Zhangzi and Brother Chen were killing each other lively last night, but we could only stay behind and watch. I can't even see you! Could it be that we joined the army just to make steamed pancakes? When we get back to Caizhou, Jiang Qian will laugh at me again! Before we left, I even said that I would blind her with a medal of bravery!"

Jiang Qian is the second daughter of Jiang Huaixiong, the governor of Caizhou's left-behind division, and a classmate of Erlang and Xiao Yi when they were in school.

This girl is quite a bit like a tiger girl. When Erlang was still in school, she often took the girl to fight Yang Erlang, the talker among the boys.
In short, the 16-year-old Erlang is at an age where he is both sensitive and wants to prove himself.

The thought of being laughed at by a female doll when I go back feels like the sky is falling!
I have no face to face the Huaibei elders!

"Hey, Brother Chen said that no matter what position he is in, he is always doing his best for the elders of Huaibei."

Xiao Yi comforted him sadly, but even he didn't believe it. He also wanted to earn military merit on the battlefield, and didn't want to do the work of cooking and cooking all day long.

Erlang was about to say something when he looked up and saw a strong man staggering towards him from a distance.

The man was wearing the Qi State uniform, with a wound on his left arm, and a red scarf tied around his neck. This was the only way for the Huaibei Army to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

Erlang quickly wiped his tears and greeted him from a distance: "Brother, why did you come here alone? Did you get separated from the military commander?"

The open-air kitchen is located in an open space in the Suizao Gate in the north of the city. People are temporarily not allowed to go out due to martial law, and Team Meng will lead a team to patrol the outside. There is no one here at this time.

At first, Erlang thought he had met a stray sergeant from his brother's army, so he said hello.

The man looked around warily first, then walked straight to the stove, stared at the fragrant meat porridge in the pot, and said 'hmm'.

It can be regarded as a response to Erlang's sentence of "getting separated from the military commander".

Seeing this, Erlang couldn't help but look at the other person twice, his eyes lingered on the arrow wound on the other person's arm for a few breaths, then he smiled honestly and helped him scoop a bowl of porridge, "After a fierce battle all night, brother is starving, so let's eat first. A bowl of porridge.”

The man nodded, took the bowl of porridge, hid under the shade of a nearby tree, and started eating without caring that the porridge burned his mouth.

Until then, Erlang quietly approached Xiao Yi and whispered: "Xiao Yi, there is something wrong with this person!"

"Well, I discovered it too! He doesn't want to talk."

Ninety-nine percent of the officers and soldiers of the Huaibei Army are from Huaibei. This man wears a red scarf around his neck but tries to avoid talking. Is it because he is worried about his accent?

Erlang nodded and said, "Moreover, the arrow wounds on his arms seem to have been caused by short arrows like our Huaibei hand crossbows."

Being injured by the Huaibei Army means that this person has fought with the Huaibei Army.

The two looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

This is the nature of a young man. When encountering possible trouble, the first thing that comes to mind is not danger, but meritorious deeds!

"I'll give him another try!"

"Be careful!"

"rest assured."

Erlang responded, bent down and took out a piece of instant noodles from under the stove, and walked over with a smile.

The man had just seen the two of them whispering to each other, and he was already on guard. At this time, he stared at Erlang who was getting closer and closer, and stopped eating.

"Brother, here, soak this in the porridge."

Erlang looked like an innocent and enthusiastic young man, and took the initiative to break the pancake in half and put it into the porridge bowl.

Although this instant noodles looks strange, it looks like something to eat, and the aroma of deep-fried noodles, which is stimulated by the porridge water, becomes even more attractive.

The man felt relieved and picked a chopstick of soaked semi-soft instant noodles into his mouth. A look of surprise could not help but appear on his tired face.

"Hey, is it delicious? This is instant noodles. Brother, please eat slowly and I will bring you a bowl of porridge."

"Ah."

After another brief response, Erlang turned around and walked towards the stove.

The scene just now convinced the two of them that this man was not a soldier of the Huaibei Army marching in Huaibei, and instant noodles were always on hand.

This time I set off from Caizhou to Beijing and ate it countless times along the way. Some people were tired of it, and some people couldn't get enough of it.

But it was definitely not normal for him to eat it for the first time.

With years of tacit understanding, Xiao Yi quietly grasped the kitchen knife without Erlang's explanation.
Erlang came forward with a bowl of porridge. This time, the man relaxed his vigilance.

However, when there was only one step left between the two of them, Erlang suddenly turned his wrist and pushed the bowl of hot meat porridge onto the man's head.

The man roared angrily, and even though his eyes were blinded by the hot porridge, he punched straight out with just his feeling.

Erlang, who was considered to be very strong and good at martial arts among his peers, did not dodge and was punched in the waist. He took three or four steps back before he could stabilize his body.

Xiao Yi swung his knife and stepped forward. The man had already stood up. He wiped his burned eyelids carelessly and advanced instead of retreating. He kicked Xiao Yi several feet away with a vicious kick.

Xiao Yi stopped by hitting the cart carrying military rations.
Before he could get up, he felt a sweetness in his throat, and Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, "My mother's feet, Erlang. I've encountered a tough problem."

Xu Xiaoyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at Yang Erlang, and they both stood up tremblingly at the same time.

Young man, the more frustrated you become, the braver you become!

Every hour.

Qin Shengwu and Kang Shitou each carried a load of water, and the poles rose and fell with the rhythm of their bodies.

"Young grandson Yang Yutian, I don't know what kind of nerves he has. I've long disliked him, and sooner or later I'll beat him until his teeth are all over the floor!"

Qin Shengwu was cursing, but Kang Shitou was silent. He wanted to earn a position in the army and make his sister look good, but he really didn't want to conflict with others unless he had to. The Huaibei Army punished Pao Ze for fighting with each other extremely severely, ranging from being locked up tightly , the most important thing is to eliminate the army.

But Qin Shengwu was a good brother he met on the first day he joined the army. If something happened, Kang Shitou couldn't just sit back and watch.

In distress, the two gradually approached the open-air kitchen, and saw Yang Yutian and Xu Xiaoyi fighting with a man from a distance.

It sounds like they were fighting, but in reality, the two of them were beaten by the man.

Punch to the flesh, fight to the death.

When Qin Shengwu saw something was wrong, he immediately swung the pole and threw down the two wooden barrels filled with water. He grabbed the pole and rushed forward.

I completely forgot that just now I was clamoring to beat Yang Yutian to pieces.

"Hey! What kind of thief dares to bully our Huotou Army!"

Kang Shitou followed closely
The man had great martial arts, but he had been fighting for a day and a night from yesterday to this morning. He had not eaten, and he was injured and bleeding a lot.

At this time, he was entangled by two boys and had reached the end of his strength.

Qin and Kang used shoulder poles as long weapons, and they swung them at him without thinking when they got close.

After eating several poles in succession, the man had to temporarily abandon Xu and Yang, and fought hard to bear a load, bullying Qin Shengwu, but due to exhaustion, his movements were much slower.Qin Shengwu abandoned his burden and hugged the man from the waist. The two of them rolled to the ground.

Kang Shitou saw the opportunity and struck with all his strength, hitting the man's knee with his shoulder.
'click~'

The heavy and tough pole broke at the sound, and the man screamed in pain. He didn't know if his knee was broken, but he mustered up his last strength and punched Qin Shengwu's back crazily with his fists.

After only a few blows, Qin Shengwu couldn't stand it anymore, but he knew that it would be harder to win if he let this person go, so he reluctantly shouted to Yang Yutian and Xu Xiaoyi: "You two run away! Go and call the brothers to help!"

One of Xu and Yang coughed up blood, and the other was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but when they heard the words, they did not act accordingly.

Just because subconsciously they both knew that if they went to call for help, Qin Shengwu and Kang Shitou who were left behind might be beaten to death by this tough man.
They risked their lives to save us, how could we escape and live?

"Huaibei Army Example [-]: Don't give up your robe!"

Wanting to find an excuse for his actions, Yang Erlang shouted a military discipline and rushed over to the man, giving the man an arm with both arms to prevent him from continuing to beat Qin Shengwu.

Seeing this, Kang Shitou followed suit and stepped forward to pin down the man's other arm.
At this moment, the man was hugged by Qin Shengwu, his arms were controlled, and he finally lost his strength.

Xu Xiaoyi picked up the kitchen knife, stumbled over and swung the knife to chop him on the head.

The man couldn't help being horrified, and finally shouted: "Spare me! I am Dan Ninggui, the envoy of the Jingnan Army, and I am willing to serve Lu Anhou!"

The kitchen knife will stop two inches from the bridge of Dan Ninggui's nose.
Xiao Yi had never heard of Lao Shizi's turtle, but he knew that Jiedushi was a high official, because his elder brother Chen was a Jiedushi!

Big fish caught!
Killing was not possible for the time being. Xiao Yi raised his hand and slapped Dan Ning Gui on the forehead, cursing: "Mother Xie's kick almost kicked me to death just now."

Two quarters of an hour.

Lao Meng of the Wuwei Army learned that his Huotou Army had captured the Jingnan Army's Jiedu Envoy alive and hurriedly reported it.

When he returned to the open-air kitchen, he saw the three treasure eggs and Kang Shitou lying on the ground with their heads touching, which almost scared Lao Meng's soul away.

When he first recruited troops, he didn't know the origins of these three little thorns, but Liu Baishun, deputy commander of the Wuwei Army, came from Luliuwei.
At first, Deputy Commander Liu jumped directly and arranged several people into the Huotou Army. Lao Meng was curious and asked about it.

Only then did we know that the boy with the pseudonym Yang Yutian was the younger brother of Yang Zhen, the governor of Shouzhou. Even Chen Jieshuai treated him and Xu Xiaoyi like their own brothers.

Not to mention Qin Shengwu, his dear cousin and handsome brother-in-law
Although Lao Meng did not take special care of them, he tried his best to keep them away from the front line to avoid accidents.

He couldn't afford it if these top second-generation people in Huaibei were to do anything wrong in his hands.

Therefore, when he saw several people lying on the ground, he thought they were dead.
Lao Meng wanted to cry but had no tears.

But when I got closer, I realized that although the four boys looked miserable, they were all looking at the sky with their big eyes open.

Well, they just lay here and rest.
Just listen to Yang Erlang's careless words: "Hey, Qin Shengwu, we caught a big fish this time, can you intercede with your brother-in-law and transfer us to the combat team?"

"Tsk~ That's your eldest brother too, why don't you speak? When I joined the army, my father told me that I was not allowed to use the back door."

Qin Shengwu refused simply and neatly.

Kang Shitou, who was lying on the ground with his head, was puzzled: "Sheng Wu, I always hear you talking about eldest brother and brother-in-law. Can he help us with transfers? Didn't you say that your brother-in-law is a melon seller?"

"Hahaha~"

"Ha ha."

Kang Shitou's words made the other three people laugh at the same time, but they all tacitly refused to say anything.

After the laughter, there was a long period of silence. The scene just now was really frightening. Both Yang Erlang and Xu Xiaoyi were so close to death for the first time in their lives.

In the sky, the sky is blue and the white clouds are soft.

If you don't overlook Tokyo, which is a bit messy after the war, it would be as warm and cozy as when you were a child, lying on a pile of wheat straw and listening to your mother humming a ditty.

After a while, Yang Erlang said slightly uncomfortably: "Old Qin, thank you."

"I'm not doing it for you. As long as you join the Huaibei Army, you will be Brother Paoze. How could I stand by and watch!" Qin Shengwu said proudly.

Xu Xiaoyi was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, so he hurriedly said: "Haha, that's right. After entering the town, the Huai army are all brothers, and they are not men's style! Erlang, I need you to treat me when I return to Caizhou."

Yang Erlang rubbed his nose, but accidentally touched the injury on his face. He couldn't help but hissed, and then muttered: "Brother, when you go back, I will invite you to drink wine at the best Yunxiu Pavilion in the city. You Are you willing to show your face?"

"Drinking flower wine in Yunxiu Pavilion? Aren't you afraid that your mother will know?"

Qin Shengwu was obviously tempted
Xu Xiaoyi said: "I'm so afraid! We are all adults! Look at the heroes in the world who don't go to the Goulan to play? Even Brother Chen often went to Caiwei Pavilion back then!"

Xu Xiaoyi, who follows the example of Brother Chu in everything, believes that a brother who doesn’t like to go shopping is not a good general!
Brother Chu, you are bringing up a bad child.
Yang Erlang on the side also thought deeply and said: "Ah, yes, yes! If a man doesn't go shopping in Goulan, it's useless to be a general!"

"It seems to make sense. Let's try it when we get back?" Qin Shengwu was agitated.

"Hahaha, just try it!"

"Hahaha"

Not far away, Lao Meng finally felt relieved and walked away from the gang of boys with his hands behind his back. He actually wanted to drink wine with his sister, and his health was definitely fine.

The end of the hour.

"Young-nosed old man, if you want to kill me, feel free to kill me. I will kill your eight generations of ancestors!"

Yanqing Temple in Tokyo was temporarily requisitioned as a field medical clinic for the Huaibei Army.

A foot-long wound was opened on one of the thighs by a knife blade, but luckily no artery was damaged.

When Taoist Priest Wugen used alcohol to debridement him before suturing, the man, who had not even frowned after the injury, cried out in pain.
Chen Chu, who happened to be patrolling here, couldn't help laughing and scolding: "The Taoist priest is trying to save you! Why are you swearing!"

When the chief saw that it was Chen Chu who was coming, he struggled to stand up and salute, but was pushed back. He saw that he was wiping his nose and tears, and said aggrievedly: "Master Hou, this medicine that the Taoist priest used is so painful!" I can’t be cured!”

"How can that happen? The weather is hot today. If we don't do any wounds or sutures, the whole leg will rot! Bear with it for a while, wait for the injury to recover, and I will give you a month's paid leave."

Chen Chu's comfort was very effective.

In later generations, with the support of the modern medical system, the death-to-injury ratio in war was about one to nine, that is, nine out of ten wounded people could be saved.

Nowadays, being able to control the casualty ratio to six to four is considered a miracle doctor. In the hot summer, soldiers who have suffered open wounds often survive one or two.
Even if medical clinics in other armies took in wounded soldiers, they mostly watched them die.

Morale was the lowest in a place like the medical clinic, so Chen Chucai came to visit everyone immediately after the city was initially calmed down.

To express the Huaibei Army's will not give up Paoze.

Since the seventh year of Fuchang, Taoist priest Wugen first came into contact with surgery from the medical pioneer "Human Tu Zhang Li". He also experienced the Tongshan Rebellion and the Huaibei Ping, and accumulated rich knowledge of human tissue.

With ordinary knife and gunshot wounds, more than [-]% of patients can survive. Even major surgeries such as amputation have a [-] to [-]% chance of saving their lives.

Having a good medical clinic will give soldiers more lives, less worries, and they will naturally fight more bravely.

Moreover, the value of veterans is immeasurable.

While talking to the wounded, the white-haired rat brought a piece of news that made Chen Chu overjoyed. Tan Ninggui had been captured alive!
But then when the white-haired rat spoke with a strange expression about who had done the great work, Chen Chu couldn't help but become nervous and asked hurriedly: "What about them?"

"Back to the Marquis, the Wuwei Army has reported. All four of them were injured, but they are not serious."

When Chen Chu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The white-haired rat saw Chen Chu's subtle expression in his eyes, and felt in his heart that as the Huaibei family's plate became bigger and bigger, Chen Chu's power would naturally increase, but the Marquis was not as unsmiling as other big shots. Measurement.

Just like at this moment, he was worried about the gang of young men in Tongshan. The white-haired mouse felt that compared to those adults, his own prince was more humane. Following such a person, he felt at ease!
While he was thinking about it, Li Ke also came over.

What he sent was the wax seal of the military system.

Chen Chu walked aside and took it apart and looked at it.

The first letter was from Li Mulezi, saying that there had been a small-scale movement in the Zhou Dynasty, and that the Ningjiang Army had deployed defenses along the river under the command of Jiang Shuquan and the entire army was on alert.

Later, it was written that the Huaiyuan squire and the soldiers of King Lu were beheaded in the street, and Sun Changhao and his wife died.
This point is different from what Chen Chu explained at the beginning. After all, when Cai Hua did these things, she didn't know what would happen after Chen Chu came to Beijing.

This arrogant girl shows such murderous intent whenever she doesn't look at her. I'm not afraid of those literati saying that you are evil.

Chen Chu shook his head. After Li Mulezi reported the secret, he also included a private letter with the words: Ai Lang personally wrote on the envelope.
This is a letter from Cai Hua. Only she would use such a disgusting name.

Chen Chu originally thought that she was going to explain the motives of her behavior in the letter, but unexpectedly, there were only a few words in the letter, but Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.

The sudden laughter made all the wounded in the hospital look over. The man who was crying and howling just now asked strangely: "Master Marquis, is there anything happy?"

Even Li Ke and Bai Maoshu stared at Chen Chu in confusion. Although the Marquis was not a serious person, it was still rare to smile like a child at this time.

But Chen Chu shook the letter and said happily: "My family has written to say that my wife is happy, hahaha."

"Hey! Congratulations, Lord Marquis!"

"Hahaha, what a great joy! Lord Marquis, this is a great joy for us in Huaibei!"
