Chapter 104 Injured
Chapter 104 Injured
The one leading the troops of the opposing Gaoli Kingdom was the Crown Prince of Gaoli Kingdom, Xuanyuan Miao.
He was wearing a fur cloak, his hair was tied in a thin braid, and he held a telescope in his hand.
Ke Yiyun, who was standing beside him, looked at the camp opposite and cursed, "What's going on? How come their chef's cooking smells so good that it even wafts over to our side?"
Xuanyuan Miao turned the telescope and said in a chilly voice, "They only care about eating. Don't you find it strange? It's been so long, why haven't they run out of food yet?"
Ke Yiyun was also puzzled, but did not think too much about it, "Is it because the first batch of food and fodder was larger?"
"Do you think that's possible?"
Ke Yiyun scratched his head, "What's going on? Are they farming without telling us?"
"Perhaps we were deceived, and the other party has no intention of cooperating at all... Or perhaps, the insider is just an idiot who can't even do this."
Xuanyuan Miao sneered, "In short, if we can't get any benefit, he can't expect to get any benefit from us."
Ke Yiyun was just a military commander, a rough man, who didn't know the twists and turns between them, so he simply asked: "So what should we do next?"
"Send a message tonight and tell them that we will give them one more day. If I don't see their sincerity before the sun sets the day after tomorrow, then we will pretend that the deal never happened."
"Yes."
Ke Yiyun agreed, but if that was the case, they would have waited for half a month in vain and didn't know how much food and fodder they had wasted!
The garrison of the Ning Dynasty.
Wen Yan worked as a cook here for a few days and became familiar with the place.
If someone went to the granary with her, they would find that several stones of grain appeared out of thin air from her palms.
Wen Yan didn't put down much food every day, just enough to fill the gap from the previous few days. If anyone in the kitchen found that there was too much food, Ye Qinghuai would be there to explain.
On weekdays, after Wen Yan finished her work in the kitchen, she would rest with Wan Xiaqing at night.
But these past few days Wan Xiaqing was basically not around in the second half of the night, and Wen Yan guessed that Ye Qinghuai had arranged something for him.
Wen Yan didn't ask any more questions, she just rested peacefully. After all, she had to conserve her energy to prepare so many meals every day.
That night, Wen Yan was resting as usual, but suddenly bursts of fire were heard from the tent outside.
There were footsteps coming and going outside the tent. Wen Yan couldn't sleep, so she put on her clothes and got up.
The soldiers outside the tent walked hurriedly, and whispers could be heard from time to time: "Someone is attacking!"
Wen Yan was a little worried about Wan Xiaqing's safety, so she simply followed the team and watched from a distance. Unexpectedly, this group of people eventually came to the vicinity of the granary. It was said that they wanted to set fire to the granary but were caught by the soldiers who had been ambushed there for a long time.
Wen Yan saw Wan Xiaqing standing safely inside, but his expression was not very good.
There were two bodies in night clothes lying on the ground, with purple lips, as if they had died of poisoning.
Wan Xiaqing clenched his fists and said in frustration: "If I had more experience, I wouldn't have missed that they committed suicide by taking poison."
Ye Qinghuai patted her shoulder and said, "No one would have thought of such a thing."
He also ordered Pang Kuan: "Send the bodies of these two people back overnight. We, the Daning Dynasty, will not bury people from other countries on our territory."
"Yes!"
In the morning, snowflakes filled the sky. The intermittent snow in recent days had accumulated a thick layer on the ground. The horses carried the two lifeless bodies to Gaoli Country.
Ye Qinghuai did not sleep all night and asked the soldiers in the camp to quickly adjust their status. It was expected that after this taunting, Gaoli Kingdom would attack tomorrow.
But all this happened faster than he expected.
After the horse entered the enemy camp, the snowflakes in the sky suddenly became bigger and bigger, a horn sounded, and the opposing team of horses and men advanced in unison.
Ye Qinghuai had been waiting here for a long time. He held a spear in his hand and said angrily, "My fellow soldiers, Gaoli's mounts are snow beasts among horses, and they are very resistant to cold. We are facing them with ordinary horses, so we must be very careful and not lose face for the Ye family army!"
"Follow me and kill the Ye family army!"
Neither side would benefit from fighting under such adverse conditions.
In the dream, Gao Liguo seemed to have known that it would snow heavily at this time, which would make it easier for them to fight. He was also certain that the Ye family army had no food and grass, so he fought and retreated, just waiting for the people here to starve to death.
In fact, everything in the dream was leaning towards Gaoli Kingdom, but now because of Wanhe's foresight, the Ye family army was able to fight with sufficient food and grass, and everything was completely different.
The two sides were evenly matched and the battle was intense. Wen Yan quietly added some spiritual spring water to everyone's water supply, hoping that everyone could hold out on the battlefield for a while longer.
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the two sides had been fighting for three days and three nights. Finally, Gao Liguo realized that he could not break through the defense line of the Ye family army in a short period of time, so he retreated to the fortress.
And the Ye family army also got some time to catch their breath.
Wen Yan was still preparing food in the kitchen when suddenly a noisy sound of footsteps was heard outside.
Xiao Si ran in from outside, "Auntie Wen, go check on Xia Qing quickly, she's injured!"
Wen Yan stayed here for a few days, and Wan Xiaqing came to see her often, so everyone in the kitchen knew about their relationship.
After hearing what Xiao Si said, Wen Yan dropped the kitchen utensils with a wooden face, ran out in a panic, and met Ye Qinghuai in front of the tent.
"Aunt Wen!" Ye Qing came over with the unconscious Wan Xiaqing in his arms. His body was covered with scars, but Wan Xiaqing in his arms was obviously more seriously injured.
"Xia Qing's arm was cut on the battlefield. Medicine has been applied now. Please help her cool down. If you have any problems, go find the military doctor." Ye Qinghuai didn't want to leave the unconscious Wan Xiaqing, but he had no way to get away now.
Wen Yan looked at the unconscious Wan Xiaqing for a long time before she came to her senses and replied, "I know. Go quickly."
After Ye Qinghuai left, looking back every few steps, Wen Yan quietly fed Wan Xiaqing some spiritual spring water.
He reached out and touched Wan Xiaqing's forehead. He was relieved to find that it was not hot.
Although I already knew that Wan Xiaqing would be injured if she wanted to become a female general, I didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
