after being kidnapped by the general

Seeing Yuanli spitting out water, Chu Hechao immediately added schemingly, "I have ordered the governor of Shanggu County to collect food and bring it to the battlefield."

Yuan Li wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at Chu Hechao quietly, "General..."

Chu Hechao remained silent, honestly waiting to be scolded.

Yuan Li looked at him for a while before asking, "How long will it take for the food to arrive?"

"One month," Chu Hechao answered quickly this time, and then looked at Yuanli sincerely, "Sister-in-law, you only need to bring half a month's worth of grain for me, until the new grain arrives. "

For half a month, it was easy for Yuanli.

When it comes to the important matter of food for the army, Chu Hechao has an absolute sense of proportion.Chu Hechao remembered how much grain he had accumulated along the way in Yuanli, and he knew exactly how much of it was transported to the northern border.It was precisely because he knew in his heart that with Yuan Liding in the rear that he could settle the matter of military pay, Chu Hechao dared to use food to clear the way with full confidence.

If someone came to ask Chu Hechao what it was like to use food to defeat the enemy for the first time in his life, then Chu Hechao only had two words: refreshing!

Yuan Li looked at Chu Hechao silently, amused in his heart.

Chu Hechao first told him that there was only half a month of food left, which made Yuanli prepare for the worst in his heart. Finally, he changed the subject and changed to only need Yuanli to provide half a month's ration.Saying it this way will only make people feel rejoicing, thinking that half a month's rations are already very little, and even heaving a sigh of relief with joy, they directly agree to it.

You are smart, Chu Ciye.

Half a month's rations were indeed within budget for Yuanli.But Yuan Li intentionally teased them, showing embarrassment on purpose, his pretty brows were frowned sadly, "Half a month...General, this..."

He sighed softly, showing his fatigue, "Forget it, I'll think of a way."

Yuan Li stood up, said goodbye to several people, and took Liu Jixin and Wu Kai out of the tent with heavy steps.

Yang Zhongfa and He Lang, who were coaxed by his performance, were stunned for a moment, and immediately turned their heads to look at Chu Hechao, a little panicked, "General, looking at Mr. Yuan's appearance, have we gone too far in this matter?" ?”

Chu Hechao pursed his thin lips, and suddenly got up and chased after him with big strides.

Before Yuan Li could walk a few steps away, there was an extremely oppressive figure beside him.Yuan Li was slightly surprised: "Why is the general here?"

"Sister-in-law," Chu Hechao said in a low voice, "Did I embarrass you?"

His back was bent, his voice was lowered, and his begging posture was correct.Yuan Li was soft and not hard, he couldn't keep teasing him when he asked this question.

What Chu Hechao did was right in itself, and it wasn't really a waste of food.Yuan Li smiled at him, "It's not that difficult. The general did a great job on this matter, and I'm very pleased to be able to take down Bai Mizhong without a single soldier. It's just that if the general does this again next time When you decide, you should tell me in advance."

Chu Hechao nodded happily, "Okay, I will listen to my sister-in-law."

What do you mean by listening to me?Yuan Li couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, you were clearly acting like a good boy after the fact.

Seeing Yuan Li's frown relax again, Chu Hechao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.After noticing that he was relieved, Chu Hechao's face froze and became expressionless again.

He had never been afraid of Chu Mingfeng, why should he be afraid of Yuanli's anger?

Yuan Li wiped the sweat off his head, "General, the weather is so hot today, is there enough water for the army?"

"It's enough. It rained heavily a few days ago, so the water is more than enough," Chu Hechao said a little distractedly, "Zhuolu County is located in the lower reaches of the Sanggan River, and there are Banquan and Xuanyuan Lake in it. If sister-in-law is interested, You can take people to Zhuolu County for a walk, the Banquan and Xuanyuan Lake are worth seeing."

Liu Jixin, who was behind him, said enthusiastically, "But the water in the spring is like dark ink, and when it's picked up, it's crystal clear*?"

Chu Hechao nodded.

Yuanli listened thoughtfully.

Are the water resources in Zhuolu County so rich?

Turning his head, Yuanli instantly understood why Chu Hechao was so eager to use food to lure the Baimi crowd to surrender.The county is rich in water resources, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the army is seriously short of water. Once Baimizhong reacts, the status of water resources and Chu Hechao will be reversed in an instant.

Zhuolu County itself is a piece of land transitioning from forest to plain. It can be used for grazing and shallow farming. If the white rice crowd can really breathe a sigh of relief, I am afraid that it will take half a year to capture Zhuolu County.

Chu Hechao couldn't afford it.

Fortunately, Bai Mizhong's vision was not long-term enough, and he didn't realize the importance of the water source at all.Just like that, the city gate was opened, and the water source in the city was convenient for Chu Hechao and his party.

Yuan Li smiled cheerfully, "The general brought out this grain just at the right time."

Chu Hechao raised his eyebrows.He just said that there is a source of water in the city, so Yuanli can think of his intention of taking out the food?

"Since the water is enough, we dusty people can also wash up." Yuan Li said with a smile.

"Naturally," Chu Hechao said, "There are also springs in Zhuolu County where you can bathe."

Spring pond?Yuan Li was about to move in an instant, he always liked the feeling of being in close contact with water.Hearing these two sentences from Chu Hechao, Yuanli's heart began to move, and he planned to take Liu Jixin and the others to Bubble Spring in Zhuolu County later.

Chu Hechao said again: "The army has also prepared hot water for you to bathe in."

It's so sweet too.

Yuan Li felt a little embarrassed.

A group of people walked to the sentry tower, and a convoy transporting medicinal materials passed by, and the vehicle accidentally bumped into the watchtower.Just as Yuan Li wanted to praise Chu Hechao, Chu Hechao glanced away from the corner of his eye, his face suddenly changed, he stretched out his hand and pulled Yuan Li into his arms, and turned around quickly with Yuan Li.

The sentry tower was already a little crooked due to the heavy rain in the past few days, and it collapsed instantly after being hit like this.The flag and wooden blocks that fell from above hit Chu Hechao's back heavily. Chu Hechao held Yuanli's head firmly in his arms, his arms stretched as hard as a stone, and Yuanli could only feel the palm on his head It was made of iron and weighed as much as a thousand catties, and it made his neck ache from the pressure, and his nose was hurt by Chu Hechao's chest muscles.

"Don't move." The man growled impatiently.

Yuan Li didn't move, his nose was filled with the smell of Chu Hechao, and his back was sorely strangled.Liu Jixin behind him exclaimed "Ouch" twice, and then he was glad to have escaped from death, "It almost hit me..."

Soon, the collapse stopped.

Chu Hechao let go of Yuanli without saying a word, and turned to look at the sentry tower next to him without looking at his injuries.The top of the sentry tower was lifted off, his expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Come here."

Several soldiers who were hiding quickly got up and ran to Chu Hechao.

"Tear down this tower and rebuild it," Chu Hechao said angrily, with a terrifying aura, "The captain who was in charge of building the sentry tower was found for me, and he dealt with the twenty boards according to military law, and let him suffer in public!"

The soldier trembled with fear, "Yes."

Yuan Li waited for him to give orders, then rubbed his nose and asked quickly: "General, how are you?"

Chu Hechao was in an extremely bad mood at this time, and he replied bluntly, "It's nothing."

Yuan Li didn't believe it, and walked behind Chu Hechao with a frown.Many of the pieces of wood that fell were sharp, and the clothes behind Chu Hechao were scratched several times. Because the clothes were dark in color, it was impossible to tell whether there was bleeding or not, but it would definitely be uncomfortable if so many things fell down. .Injuries in summer can easily lead to wound inflammation, Yuanli said in a slightly heavier tone, "General, please go back to the tent with me and have a look at your back."

Chu Hechao frowned irritably, "I've said everything's fine—"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yuanli's reddened nose and worried face, and he couldn't say the rest.Chu Hechao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's just a small injury."

Yuan Li pursed his lips, his black and white eyes looked at him silently, revealing a silent stubbornness.

Chu Hechao and him stared at each other for a long time, and finally lost.Leng Leng followed the soldiers and said "find someone", obediently followed Yuan Li to Yuan Li's camp.

Yuan Li asked Wu Kai to get the medicine, and asked Chu Hechao to take off his robe.

After Chu Hechao took off, Liu Jixin moved to Yuanli's side and looked at Chu Hechao's back, and immediately hissed, "General, the injury on your back is really scary."

It was pitch black!

Yuanli: "..."

He gave Liu Jixin a hard look, brought a basin of water to wet a towel, and wiped Chu Hechao's back, and the blackness was wiped off a little.

"Mr. Liu, this is the dye that sticks to the general's clothes after being wet with sweat."

Liu Jixin blushed, he was embarrassed to stay any longer, so he found an excuse and ran out of the camp.

Yuan Li shook his head, motioned Chu Hechao to sit down, put his hands on Chu Hechao's shoulders to stabilize his balance, bent down and carefully found the wound among the faded dye, and wiped the dye on Chu Hechao's back little by little. Lose.

After looking for it, Yuan Li couldn't help but said: "General, can't you wear some better clothes?"

Chu Hechao lazily said: "My brother has no money, so I have to wait for my sister-in-law to help me with the clothes I want to wear."

Yuan Li muttered: "You really look like a poor relative who hits the autumn wind."

Chu Hechao's ears moved keenly, "What autumn wind is blowing?"

"It's nothing," Yuan Li coughed, "General, I don't believe you don't even have a few good clothes."

Chu Hechao smiled and didn't continue arguing with him.

Yuan Li heaved a sigh of relief after wiping off the dirty things.Fortunately, Chu Hechao's skin was thick, and although his clothes were torn, there were only a few shallow scratches, and not a few drops of blood gushed out.

But even though he couldn't see it now, he was hit by a heavy object after all. After he reacted, he was afraid that there would be subcutaneous congestion.

Yuan Li was also afraid that Chu Hechao would suffer internal injuries, so he pressed his back muscles little by little, "Does it hurt here?"

"What about here? Do you feel anything?"

In the beginning, as soon as Yuan Li's hand touched Chu Hechao, Chu Hechao's back completely tensed up.After Yuan Li said a few words to relax, Chu Hechao slowly relaxed his body.

Yuan Li asked very professionally, but Chu Hechao always shook his head slowly.Shaking Yuanli felt that he was a little perfunctory, he asked suspiciously: "Nowhere does it hurt?"

Chu Hechao raised his eyebrows, "Sister-in-law still wants me to hurt?"

Yuan Li was silent for a while, "Chu Hechao, you didn't tell me the truth."

Chu Hechao pulled his lips amusedly, and the smile was a little perfunctory, "Then what should I say, sister-in-law, teach me? I will say whatever you teach me, is that okay?"

Yuan Li turned around and squatted on the ground washing the towel, and said, "I don't want to talk to you now."

Chu Hechao: "..."

He turned his head to look at the back of the squatting figure, Yuan Li's refusal to talk to him could be seen from the back.The boy's hair was bundled up on his shoulders, his clothes were messed up, and his hair was also messed up. It was only then that Chu Hechao remembered that he hadn't mentioned anything about himself since the beginning, and was all busy for him.

Chu Hechao endured and endured, but he couldn't hold back, and called out, "Sister-in-law?"

Yuan Li ignored him, only the pattering sound of towels being wet.

Chu Hechao seemed to have insects and ants eating him all over his body, he was uncomfortable all over, and felt anxious and bored in his bones.

His fingers couldn't help tapping his thighs, and he glanced at Yuanli's back.In the end, he simply looked at Yuanli's back without moving.

With scorching eyes, Yuan Li didn't seem to feel it.

A disturbingly quiet quarter of an hour passed.

"Sister-in-law," Chu Hechao said again.

Seeing that Yuanli was still silent, Chu Hechao took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "My back does hurt a bit."

Chu Hechao had never complained of pain to others.

No one wanted to hear him either.

At this time, the general, who had never complained about his injuries and pain to others, began to feel hot in his ears.
