Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The two commanders jumped off their horses and immediately ran to General Li to report: "The chief commander has divided his troops into two routes, one way is to cut off the road of the Western Turks, and the other way is to return to the King City of Qiuci, and we can arrive early tomorrow morning..."

Keke relayed it to Man Bao.

Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief and ran to find Bai Shan.

Bai Shanzheng was standing at the window looking at the street below. Hearing the movement, he turned to look at her. He smiled slightly and asked, "Is there any news?"

Man Bao nodded fiercely, squinting at him.

Bai Shan knew, he also smiled slightly, without asking for specific information, he reached out to her.

Man Bao put his hand on his, and the two looked side by side at the street below the station.

Although the war has just been experienced, the streets have become lively again now, and there are many small stalls selling various foods under the inn.

It's a pity they can't go out, otherwise it would be nice to have a taste.

There may be another war here tomorrow.

Early the next morning, officials from Qiuci brought several medicinal herb merchants to see Zhou Man. They brought some medicinal herbs, some of which were listed on Manbao's list, and some other medicinal herbs.

As soon as they came in, the official glanced at the servant who was serving in the inn calmly, and after seeing him shaking his head slightly, he knew that Bai Shan and the others were honest last night and didn't do anything superfluous.

The official smiled and introduced the herbalists he brought to Zhou Man, and then stood by to watch them identify the herbs and bargain.

What Man Bao wanted were all good medicines for nourishing blood and qi. Basically, she asked for these kinds of medicinal herbs brought by the herbalists, and she also paid back the price. As for other medicines, Man Bao thought about the medicinal herbs in the camp. , I picked up some and bought some, and at the same time proposed that I wanted to see some other medicinal materials.

With such a choice and a counter-offer, the group stayed until noon.

Keke said: "The army set up an ambush at another city gate, and General Meng came to this city gate with the soldiers and horses in your tent."

It was about to be attacked, Man Bao lowered his eyes, picked out two from a pile of medicinal herbs, placed one in the west and one in the north on the table, and asked Bai Shan with a smile, "This is Baiji and Agrimony for hemostasis. , I remember that we have Agrimony in our army, but there are not many, do you think I want to buy more Agrimony, or buy some white sage?"

Bai Shan lowered his eyes and looked at the positions of the two medicinal herbs on the table, then said after a pause: "Agrimony serrata is good, but since we have it in the army, let's buy some white chili."

Man Bao nodded, turned his head and said to the medicinal herbs who can provide Baiji: "Give us a load."

Bai Shan took out the purse, poured out a piece of gold from it, and asked the merchants to split the account and then give him the rest.

When the merchants saw this piece of gold, they wanted to recommend some other medicines, and they spent more than half of it, so they just spent all the gold, and what was the matter with looking for money?

Bai Shan and the official smiled and said: "Now your medicinal materials are too expensive. When the general enters the city, please ask the king to let the soldiers in the army buy some cheap medicinal materials. In the last battle, many soldiers in our army were injured. ."

They recaptured the king's city in the last battle at the city gate. This was a proud battle of Qiuci, so the official was very proud, smiled and said, "When General Guo comes in, the king will give him preferential treatment."

After Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao, he smiled and said, "That being the case, even if it's for the generals and men in the army, we should hurry back and finish this matter."

Bai Shan took the opportunity to bid farewell to the officials, and proposed to leave from the West Gate.

He explained: "You also know that many soldiers in the army are the source of soldiers in the Central Plains, and they all want to return to their hometowns, so General Guo's move was only discussed with several generals in the army, in order to avoid the army. Chaos, when you send troops to formally receive it, it is not appropriate to publicize this matter."

"The day we came here, General Guo changed the people on the checkpoint and found other excuses to leave the camp. At this time, it's not good to go out through the north gate, otherwise the soldiers guarding the checkpoint will not be able to explain it."

The official frowned slightly, "But I'm going to accompany you back to the camp to see General Guo, do I have to be secretive?"

Bai Shan hurriedly said: "Not so much, as long as the messenger puts on Han Chinese clothes, then you can follow us directly into the camp to meet General Guo, as long as we have discussed the subject of surrender, we will find an opportunity to gather the soldiers' weapons. Bring them back. Then the king's army can take over directly, even if there are a few soldiers who don't obey orders, they can quickly take them." The other party saw that Bai Shan was thoughtful and reasonable, so he thought about it and nodded, " But it's a bit far to go out of the city from the west city gate and then walk back to the north city."

Bai Shan smiled and said, "Although it's far away, we're going out of the city now, speed up the road, and we can get there before sunset, and at that time the army was having meals and it was getting dark again, so fewer people noticed us. "

The official couldn't help but smile and said: "Master Bai is really thoughtful, I even thought about this."

It is suspected that they planned this road and reason early in the morning.

Bai Shan smiled embarrassedly at him, "It's a secret, it's always good to be careful."

The officials had no opinion, but the matter was reported to the king.

The soldiers quickly went to report back, and King Qiuci agreed.

When Bai Shan and the others drove a car to the West City Gate, General Ba Li rode on his horse and looked at them from a distance, he sneered, turned his head and said to his confidant, "King Qiuci has no blood, and was killed by Guo Xiao. After so many days of siege, as soon as the opponent dropped, he took it."

"General, shall we go back?"

"No," he said, "the food and gold and silver that Qiuci promised us has not been enough. Since he doesn't want us to send troops, he will leave after giving us the food, gold and silver that he promised."

"What if they never give it?"

Ba Li sneered: "If he doesn't give it to us, he will take it himself."

As he said that, he glanced at the stalls on the street and the shops behind him. Man Bao rode beside Bai Shan on horseback. Keke said, "Your camp has raised the banner you mentioned."

Man Bao looked at Bai Shan and said, "I want to eat the pie in the tent."

Erge, who was riding not far away, couldn't help but look up at her. This was negotiated before leaving the camp. Once Zhou Man said this, the army would return to attack the city in a quarter of an hour.

He couldn't help but turned around and found nothing unusual, but it seemed that there were abnormalities everywhere.

So where did Zhou Man get the information from?

No matter where it came from, the back of the person who heard this sentence froze, sat up slightly, and seemed to continue to walk forward without any abnormality, but from time to time, his hand touched the handle of the knife, confirming that his knife was hanging on his waist .

Only Bai Shan smiled back to her, "Eat when you go back."

The two stopped talking, but looked at the west city gate in the distance, but the two slowed down the speed, which invisibly slowed the team down, and Man Bao pointed to the cake on a booth and said, "Although you can eat it when you go back, But I still want to try the patties from Kucha."

The officials from Qiuci, who came to see them off, and also accompanied them to the camp, met them, and generously bought them two to taste.

See you at 6 pm
