The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 215: All the surnames ran away

Helian Luo took a look at the person who came, and then he suppressed his anger, sat down, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The visitor looked at Helian La, who had just suppressed his anger, and stammered in fear, not knowing how to start.

Helian Luo was immediately furious and shouted angrily: "Why don't you speak quickly?"

The man then said, "They, they, ran, ran away." After saying that, he knelt down with a plop, wishing he could bury his head in the ground.

Sure enough, the head was hit again, and this time warm blood flowed from the top of the head.

He didn't dare to move, and his body was shaking slightly.

"Waste, a bunch of waste." Seeing the people below trembling like a sieve, Helian La took a deep breath, put away his anger, and raised his hand to signal the guards standing next to him.

The guard walked up to the man and dragged him out of the tent.

The man was so scared that he kept begging for mercy, "General, spare my life, General, spare my life!..."

Soon, the cries for mercy outside stopped abruptly.

When the guard came back, he was holding a sword in his hand, and the sword was stained with blood. The blood flowed down the tip of the sword, dripping onto the ground, and then soaking the soil.

General Zou and his men were unaware of all this.

After General Zou and his men returned to the city, the first thing they did was to look for Mr. Rong.

When Mr. Rong heard that they had taken the opportunity to burn most of the enemy's food supplies, he waved his feather fan with joy.

"Good, good, well done. General Zou has made a great contribution this time. When General Wei wakes up, I will ask for credit for you. Hahaha~~"

General Zou did not expect that the other party was so arrogant that they could easily launch a successful sneak attack.

He originally wanted to have his men light a few fires near the food and grass to attract their attention, but he didn't expect that his men actually set the food and grass on fire.

This is beautifully done.

"Mr. Rong, you are too kind. This is not the credit of me alone. It mainly comes from the people below." General Zou did not seek credit.

Mr. Rong smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, I will report the contributions of everyone who went this time. I will definitely not treat anyone unfairly."

Today is a good day for a drink.

After being besieged by the enemy for more than a month, although they tried their best to appease the people, they were still very worried.

Now, having burned half of the enemy's food supplies, I think it would cause them to become chaotic for a while, which would just buy them some time.

General Zou's mission was successfully completed.

However, things were not going well for Deputy General Chang.

This was the second town he had arrived at.

There was no one in the town.

No, that's not right. Not only are there no people, there's not even any livestock.

Deputy General Chang ordered people to check every household.

I found that all the houses were locked and outsiders could not get in.

Deputy General Chang had his men climb over the wall to get in.

"Deputy General Chang, there is no one in this room. Everything is neatly arranged, but there is no food or money." Qian Laowu said.

"It's the same here." Liu Ergou also came out from another yard.

"Where the hell did all these people go?" Deputy General Chang was a little confused.

"Could it be that these people heard that the Chen people were attacking, so they all fled?" Brother Mai scratched his head and guessed.

"It's possible." Qian Laowu agreed.

"Never mind, let's go see if there is a clinic in the town and see if there are any herbs." said Deputy General Chang.

The few of them separated and began to search for all the herbs in the town.

When they gathered, several of them were holding a sack in their hands.

Deputy General Chang opened them one by one and checked them, feeling a little discouraged.

"That's it?"

Several people nodded. They really were looking for the house by house.

I only found a few in a few backyards, but not many.

Someone in the family must have known about herbs, so they picked them themselves and dried them in the yard.

These herbs are common medicinal materials for treating colds.

At this time, Kuiwu came running over with a big sack on his shoulder.

Deputy General Chang asked someone to help take it over.

Then I heard Kui Wu say, "I found a clinic, but many of the herbs were gone, so I found these."

Then he opened it and showed it to Deputy General Chang.

Before Deputy General Chang left the city, Old Man He specially brought some medicinal herbs to him for identification. Although he didn't remember their functions, he remembered their appearance.

Seeing that some of the herbs in the sack were those that Old Man He had shown him, he nodded with satisfaction, smiled and patted Kui Wu on the shoulder, and said cheerfully, "Well done, keep these and take them back when you go back. We'll need them."

When everyone heard that it would be useful, they all laughed, thinking that at least their time spent searching was not wasted.

"Then shall we look for the next one?" Liu Ergou asked.

Deputy General Chang nodded affirmatively, "Look ahead, this amount of herbs is definitely not enough. We finally got out, so we have to bring more back."

A few people nodded and continued to move on to the next town carrying the herbs.

"Ah, these people fled for their lives without leaving any food behind. They took it all away. I don't know if they can carry so many things." Kuiwu said while chewing on a hard biscuit.

"Didn't you notice? When these people left, some of them took their pots and pans with them." He searched several houses but found no pots or pans.

Brother Mai said, "I saw it. How afraid were these people that we couldn't defend ourselves? They fled very early."

At this moment, everyone lowered their heads and silently ate the tasteless dry food in their hands, feeling very lost.

It's the feeling of not being trusted.

They don't like this feeling.

Deputy General Chang was also not very happy, but after looking at the others, he said, "It doesn't necessarily mean that they don't trust us. These towns are relatively close to the border town. The Chen people can completely bypass the border town and harass these towns. It is the right choice for these people to leave early."

Because if you stay, you may face death.

Only then did they feel better.

Suddenly, Qian Laowu made a gesture for silence, then ran to the middle of the road, put the pancake in his mouth, supported his hands on the ground, put his ears to the ground, and listened quietly.

When Deputy General Chang saw him like this, he signaled everyone to be quiet and wait for his news.

Qian Laowu was originally a scout, specializing in gathering intelligence, which was one of his skills.

After waiting for a while, Qian Laowu finally stood up.

He came to Deputy General Chang and said calmly, "Another group of people is coming towards us."

Kui Wu was delighted, "Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?"

Qian Laowu shook his head. "No, the army's footsteps are in unison, and the number of people doesn't match up. Besides, there should be several carriages in this group of people."

Everyone was confused.

"Who would bring a carriage here at this time?" Liu Ergou was a little curious.

"How far are they from us?" asked Deputy General Chang.

Qian Laowu returned to the place where he had just been, lay down and listened carefully.

Then he came back and said, "Less than a hundred miles."

Deputy General Chang nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Find a place to hide and see who the other party is first."

At this time, all the people had run away, but there were still people coming this way. They must have a purpose.

I just don’t know if it’s an enemy or a friend.

After all, if the people of Chen wanted to come to this place, they could just cross a few mountains.
