Chapter 14 Shuoyunbianyue Full West Mountain
Autumn is high and refreshing.
On the official road, smoke and dust rolled on the way of the army.
The officers and soldiers of the army are clean and their pace is neat. Although they have been walking in the sun for nearly three hours and everyone is a little tired, the steps they have taken are still firm and powerful, and the soldiers are still straight, without any signs of weakness or fatigue.
In front of the army, the Yizi flag fluttering in the wind.
This army is the Yi family army stationed in Huangzhou. It is the most disciplined and brave army in the Menghua Dynasty. The Yi army has not been defeated in a hundred battles, which is a myth handed down by the Menghua Dynasty and even the enemy's population. After Xinguo and Menghua ruled the river, they have been ready to cross the river to unify the country. However, every time is a big failure. Whether in the temple or in the hearts of the people, they regard Yi Jiajun as the guardian of this stormy dynasty, as the hope of returning to the prosperous times, and dream of Yi Jiajun to take them back to their homeland and return to the dreamed Central Plains one day.
The Yi family's military discipline is very strict and has no offense against the people. It is in sharp contrast to the corruption and weakening of other troops.
However, at this moment, Yi Jiajun did not go to the battlefield, but must return to the station after winning and rushing the country 300 miles!
In early summer, Xinguo raised troops to invade. Menghua Chaotianyou Emperor issued a decree to let Yi Feng resist the country and defend the country. In a series of big battles, the Yi family army won one after another, and the hearts of the people were greatly boosted. Xinguo suffered great setbacks and returned. Yi Feng wrote a letter requesting to lead troops to the north to recover his homeland. However, the successive actions of the God- blessed emperor surprised everyone. First, he told Yi Feng that the army should be restrained and not be eager for quick success and take risks to move forward, and then hurriedly sent someone to negotiate with Xinguo. Yi Feng wrote several times that Chen Mingxin could not be trusted and the peace talks could not be done. He asked to go north to recover the lost land, but he was ignored by Emperor Tianyou, and even Emperor Tianyou once reduced the ration of Yi Feng's army's grain and fodder. The peace talks have been completed, and there is not enough food and fodder. Yi Feng sighed and had to return to the army and give up the blood-stained land of the soldiers.
On the way back to the army, Yi Feng's chronic disease and his headache was about to crack, and he constantly attacked the general who had won hundreds of battles on the bloody battlefield.
The generals also knew that he was eager to attack and suggested that the army move forward slowly, but Yi Feng took into account that Yi's army was already alone in the position, and there was not enough food and fodder. He was afraid of staying longer and causing change. He resisted the pain and led the army back to the south.
In the evening, the Yi family's army camped and prepared to camp.
In front of Yi Feng's military tent, people kept coming to visit him.
Yi Hui returned to Yi Jiajun from his master Shen Zixing's Zizhu Villa in early spring. It turned out that when I studied with my master in Jiaxing, I could only go home to visit my grandmother's father around the Spring Festival every year. In the five years from the age of 12 to 17, Yi Hui was with his father for less than a month. After Yi Hui returned to Yi's army, it was not because he was the son of the commander-in-chief who was taken care of. Even if he was both civil and martial arts, he was only given by his father to become an ordinary soldier under the account of Mu Hanxing, the commander of the central army, and crawled with the soldiers. In the summer war, Yi Hui made many military achievements, and several meritorious deeds were suppressed by his father. Later, the generals were not convinced and argued with Yi Feng. Only then, on the recommendation of the soldiers, he obtained a seven-grade official rank. Therefore, half a year after returning to his father, Yi Hui rarely saw his father. Even if it was every morning and evening, for fear of disturbing his father's official business, Yi Hui just kowtowed at the door of the big tent and left. Therefore, Yi Hui talked to his father a few times. He always looked at the father of the most military commander from afar, and then secretly strict with himself to become his father's pride.
It's just that his father fell ill recently and Yi Hui took care of him, so he had more time to get closer to his father.
Yi Hui was about to enter his father's account when he saw a dark blue shirt. Mu Hanxing, who was star-browed with sword eyebrows, carefully walked to the tent with medicine. Yi Hui bowed and saluted.
"Mu's control!"
After leaving southern Xinjiang, Mu Hanxing went to Huangzhou to defect to Yi Feng, trying to find his sister Mu Hanyue, who asked Yi Feng to take care of him on the way to exile. Later, it was known that Xiao Hanyue and Yi Yanniang were separated on the way to escape and their whereabouts were unknown. Han Xing was also unmarished, so he threw himself into the Yi family army. Han Xing is familiar with history books, ancient and modern, and a moon sword is rare to meet enemies, which has been appreciated by Yi Feng. Over the years, Yi Feng has tried his best to cultivate the cold star. Although the cold star is young, it has also become the mainstay and indispensable general in the Yi family army.
Since Yi Hui returned to Yi Jiajun, he was placed in the middle army of Mu Hanxing by his father. On that day, his father said seriously to Yi Hui that he should absolutely obey Mu Hanxing. In business, Mu Hanxing is his boss and privately, he is also his brother. Mu Hanxing ruled the army rigorously and did not have any special care for the commander's son, but became more and more strict. The soldiers who used to be with practiced martial arts and were lazy to catch wild rabbits. Others blamed 20 with sticks, but 40 for Yi Hui. Moreover, in Yi Hui's heart, he has always been deeply guilty about Han Yue's loss, and he has always been very respectful and afraid of this gentle boss.
Mu Hanxing asked:
"You can settle down"
Yi Hui nodded:
"It has settled down."
In the military tent, the cold star gently called Yi Feng lying on his side in the sickbed. This general, who frightened Xinguo, was far from the majesty of the battlefield. Before the age of 40, some wrinkles had climbed to Yi Feng's forehead. The war horse was also prematurely covered with frost. Yi Feng was thin, with a deep outline, frowned, and put one hand against his temple. Obviously, he endured pain, but he closed his lips tightly and refused to moan, revealing a different tenacity in his expression.
"Father, it's time to take medicine..."
Yi Feng looked up at them, nodded, and got up to sit up. Yi Hui quickly helped Yi Feng and raised the cushion higher.
I haven't had a good rest for several days in a row, and Yi Feng's eyes are a little red and swollen. Yi Hui looked very sorry for his father.
The cold star did not say anything and knelt down in front of Yi Feng's bed.
"Father, this medicine has increased the dose as the doctor said..."
Yi Feng nodded.
So Mu Hanxing knelt in front of Yi Feng's bed and carefully scooped out the medicine with a spoon. After tasting it, it was still a little hot, so he sent it to his mouth and blew it, and then sent it to Yi Feng's mouth. After drinking the medicine, he took the water next to get up and rinsed Yi Feng's mouth.
Looking at Yi Feng pressing his temples with his hands and moving his fingers from time to time, his fingers were probably sore, Han Xing said.
"Father, let me rub your temples for you..."
Yi Feng nodded.
The bed marching in the military tent was very low, and Han Xing had to kneel on the ground to help Yi Feng press down. The internal force in his body secretly condensed, and the internal force was continuously transmitted into Yi Feng's body. This warm internal force entered the body and diluted a burst of tingling pain, and Yi Feng gradually stretched his eyebrows.
"Han Xing, don't have to do this. You have suffered too much physical damage."
Yi Feng pushed away Han Xing's hand.
The internal force of the cold star suddenly left, and the pain came suddenly. Yi Feng put his hand against his temple again.
"Fear-in-law, Han Xing is fine. Han Xing's internal strength can be practiced again, and it's worth it to relieve a little pain for your father-in-law!"
The cold star is firm.
"Brother Mu, let me do it." Yi Huidao, who has been standing beside him.
As soon as he entered the big account and watched Han Xing take care of his father meticulously, Yi Hui was very ashamed.
"No, just press it for me. Huier, go out." Yi Feng ordered that his voice was a little weak and he closed his eyes. He seemed to be very tired.
Yi Hui's lips moved slightly and stopped talking. After saluteing his father and Han Xing, he bowed and went out.
In the account, Han Xing carefully pressed Yi Feng's forehead until Yi Feng fell asleep.
His wrist was sore and he knelt for too long. Han Xing stood up and trembled and almost fell down. Opening the big account, it was already full of stars, and the full moon was hanging in the sky. It was already midnight.
At the door of the tent, Yi Hui sat on the ground and saw the cold star come out and ran over in a hurry.
"Brother Mu!"
In front of outsiders, Mu Hanxing is the control of the Chinese army and his boss. In private, it's my brother. This is Yi Feng's order, and Yi Hui has always regarded Han Xing as his brother.
"What are you doing here? When will the bill not be returned? Are you waiting for me to punish you with military law?
The cold star reprimanded.
Yi Hui bowed his head and explained in a low voice:
"I'm afraid that Brother Mu is tired. I'll wait for Brother Mu for a while, so that we can have a rotation..."
Knowing that Yi Hui was kind-hearted, Han Xing put away his rigid and cold expression and flicked Yi Hui's skull with his finger:
"Kid, you still have a conscience. It's okay. I'm not tired. I've been taking care of my father-in-law. I'm used to it. After a while, I'll be on the floor of the tent for one night. Can you help me find something to eat and see if there are any cooking cakes left on the stove?
From taking care of Yi Feng's dinner in the evening until now, several hours have passed, and the cold stars have not yet entered, and I'm really hungry.
"Yes."
Yi Hui nodded and walked gently in the direction of the military stove.
In the moonlight, Yi Hui's back is thin and straight.
The cold star nodded, and a smile floated to the corners of his mouth.
For the past six months, it has been a cold star in ** Yihui. Yi Hui is very smart. He is very talented in learning literature and martial arts, and he can also endure hardships and learn with an open mind. He is very restrained and low-key. He has never been proud and neglected because of his special identity. He has never resisted and said no to Han Xing's sometimes slightly harsh demands. He fought bravely, but he had no objection to his father's concealment. He is usually gentle and polite, but he is also brave and resourceful, brave and good at fighting and shining on the battlefield. Yi Hui has always been very sensible and doesn't bother people. However, his personality is too submissive. Han Xing frowned slightly and thought to himself. Yi Hui may not be weak or have no idea. However, he seems to be used to hiding himself and obeying others. For a period of time, Han Xing deliberately made it difficult for Yihui. At night, he repeatedly copied the art of war, and arranged for him to repeat a hundred times in the day. It was already extremely proficient marksmanship, and even often made him take four or five hours of horse steps and practice handstanding for four or five hours. If there is a slight mistake, even if it is flogging and kicking, he will starve him for a day. In this way, Yi Hui also gritted his teeth and held on. He refused to say a word "no" or mentioned it to his father. He had even been obedient, never tried to resist, and even his dissatisfaction had never been revealed in the eyes of the 17- or 18-year-old teenager. And Han Xing has been waiting for Yi Hui to say no. Finally, he admitted defeat and let Yi Hui go.
Yi Hui is not very similar to Yi Feng. His outline should be softer. A pair of bright eyes are as clear as cold dew, thick eyebrows are straight, very heroic, and jade trees are facing the wind. However, even so, Yi Hui is always used to hiding in the crowd and standing beside the cold star, which is rarely noticed.
Looking at Yi Hui respectfully handing over the cooked cake to himself, Han Xing ordered:
"Go back and don't come out so late. If you dare to do it again next time, I will punish you severely!"
The next morning, the weather was a little gloomy. When Yi Hui came to greet his father, his father had also been groomed under the service of the cold star. The father frowned slightly and could see that he was still enduring the pain. However, I have rested all night, and my spirit is obviously much better. The eyes are also bright.
"Is your father better today?"
"It's much better," Yi Feng said, waved Yi Hui to sit down: "Let's have breakfast together."
Yi Hui nodded. Even in the barracks, there were not many opportunities to have breakfast with his father.
The three of them gathered around the table. Yi Feng briefly asked about Yi Hui's situation, and then asked that on the way to withdraw, the soldiers below were dissatisfied.
Yi Hui frowned slightly and said that he was afraid that his father would be worried and sad. If he understated it, it would also be a lie.
"Everyone is not very satisfied with the withdrawal of the army. It turns out that everyone thinks that this expedition will return to their hometown in armor..." Looking up and carefully looking at his father's face slightly changed, Yi Hui said, "But everyone's emotions are still rational. Along the way, there are some complaints, but no one has done anything that violates military discipline... Now everyone I also hope to return to the Huangzhou station safely.
Yi Feng didn't say a word.
Han Xing nodded to Yi Hui and expressed his appreciation. This child is becoming more and more thoughtful and sensible, and his words and deeds are watertight.
"Fang, father-in-law," a soldier reported: "It's raining outside. Are you going to march today?"
After listening, Han Xing got up and pulled up the curtain of the big tent and looked at the thicker black clouds and falling rain outside. The weather suddenly became cold, the cold wind blew in, and the cold star's clothes were thin, and he couldn't help shivering.
"Fas-in-law, looking at the rain, it can't stop for a while. Otherwise, we will stop for a day before leaving, or let Huang take the army forward, and we will stay and wait for the rain to pass.
"There is not enough food and grass. Even if you follow the plan, you may not be able to survive to Huangzhou. This time, everyone is not happy to return to the army. I will be with everyone. Yi Fengdao.
"But your illness..." Han Xing said.
Looking at Yi Feng's resolute eyes, Han Xing said nothing more.
On this day, almost all of them marched in the continuous drizzle.
The coach led the army forward with illness.
No one complained, everyone was silent and took a firm step.
They are vaguely dissatisfied with the Meng Hua Dynasty, but they have never doubted Yi Feng. In their hearts, these men who walked through the bloody storm always believed that Yi Feng could bring them light to the Menghua Dynasty.
The cold star followed Yi Feng, observing Yi Feng's increasingly pale face and enduring the painful look.
I wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it secretly.
Han Xing has been with Yi Feng for five or six years, and he is already well aware of the temperament of this army commander who respects like his father. He is arrogant and straightforward, self-disciplined and resolute. Since he insists on leading the army, it is useless to persuade himself.
The autumn rain floated down with a chill, and it rained a day. The cloaks are empty, and everyone's clothes are wet.
At dusk, the army camped.
Han Xing helped Yifeng get off the horse and felt that his breath was short. His hands were very cold, but his face was slightly red, and he thought he had a fever.
In the big account, I served Yi Feng to change his clothes and brought hot water:
"My father-in-law has a fever, so I called a military doctor..."
took over the water, and Yi Feng drank it all.
"Don't worry too much. You have a headache these days, and your physical strength has been greatly reduced." After saying that, put your hand against your head.
In the big account, Han Xing took the prescription and frowned and asked the military doctor:
"Why is it just an increase in the amount of medicine? This time, the amount of medicine has not been reduced, but it is getting heavier and heavier! After taking so many drugs every day, my father-in-law's food intake has also been greatly reduced. How can he stand it for a long time!"
The military doctor's forehead is sweating, and Yi Feng can't be cured, and several military doctors are also extremely guilty. At this moment, he was questioned by the cold star, and he was even more cicada. It took a long time for an old man to tremble his answer:
"My father-in-law is a chronic disease, and it hasn't been a day or two. It turned out that they all took medicine to forcibly suppress the disease. But this time, the disease is fierce, and we can't come up with any good prescription, so we have to increase the dosage. The cause of this disease cannot be found... We are incompetent..."
Han Xing bit his lips, looked at Yi Feng, who was weak at the head of the bed, and looked at several military doctors. His face was getting colder and colder. The face of the young general, who is usually as warm as jade, is also full of anger.
"This is the good recipe for you to practice medicine for so many years!"
"Cold star, don't be rude!" Yi Feng reprimanded the cold star in a low voice on the sickbed. The sound is not loud, but it is deep and powerful.
The cold star bowed his head and was speechless.
"Mu, today's prescription, we have prescribed a medicine to treat fever. It should be effective. Why don't you decoct the medicine first?"
"Expectation!"
Han Xing bowed and saluted in anger.
Although this doctor in the army is also a military officer, Yi Feng valued the literati very much. Tell the soldiers around you to respect the staff and doctors in the army.
The curtain of the military tent was lifted, and Huo Shuhang, Yi Feng's staff, came in.
Huo Shuhang came from a famous family in Yangzhou. At the age of 21, he was young, heroic, gentle and elegant, talented and extraordinary wisdom. He is not only familiar with the history of scriptures and modern times, but also proud of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Legend has it that before high school, he met Xu Ci, the eldest lady of the famous Sword Villa, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the world at that time. The two fell in love at first sight and promised each other for a lifetime, and now he transferred to office. In the first year of Tianyou, he resigned from his envious civilian position and moved to Huangzhou to assist Yi Feng. In Huangzhou, seven years in a flash. Huo Shuhang has been an official in the court for a long time, implicit and restrained, and has a deep strategy, which has helped Yi Feng a lot. Yi Feng regards it as an arm and is very respectful.
Huo Shuhang is not confused. He is a few years older than Yi Feng, but he looks younger than Yi Feng.
"Mr. Huo..."
Yi Feng wants to get up.
Huo Shuhang quickly walked to Yi Feng's bed and helped him:
"Don't move, lie down and rest." Huo Shuhang turned to the cold star and asked:
"Why, is it still not good?"
The cold star saluted slightly.
"The doctor just increased the amount of medicine and increased the medicine to treat fever. There is no good prescription now?"
Huo Shuhang thought about it:
"Let me send a letter and ask Ling Xiao to come over. Maybe she has a way. She rushed to Huangzhou from Meishan, and we probably arrived in Huangzhou.
"I'm sorry to bother Mr. Huo. Jianghu is far away, Han Xing, please send someone to pick up Ling Xiao."
Yi Fengdao.
Huo Lingxiao is the only daughter of Huo Shuhang. Huo Lingxiao has been weak and sickly since she was a child. Later, she went to the pharmacist Valley to seek medical treatment. The previous generation of the valley owner promised to help her recuperate and treat her. Seeing that she was abnormally intelligent, he tried his best to keep her to accept her as a disciple. Although Huo Shuhang and his wife are reluctant to give up their young daughter, they also feel that it is a merit to be able to cure diseases and save people. Therefore, Huo Lingxiao entered the Pharmacist Valley at the age of nine. The year before last, the first valley owner died due to excessive fatigue, and Huo Lingxiao succeeded him as the pharmacist valley owner. Huo Lingxiao is talented and has superb medical skills. Although it is only eight or nine years of experience, he is no less than the valley masters of the pharmacist valley. Whether in the rivers and lakes or among the people, it enjoys prestige.
In order to avoid being involved in Jianghu disputes, Yaoshi Gu only receives ten people in Jianghu every year, and Huo Lingxiao has the final say whether to accept it or not. The patient needs to pay 100,000 taels of silver in advance. It is explained in advance that there must be no objection whether the patient is cured or not. Fortunately, the patients taken over by Pharmacist Valley have never recovered. Therefore. Although the rules are cumbersome, many requirements are very harsh, the diagnosis fee is extremely high, and there are also many Jianghu people who come to see a doctor.
However, if Huo Lingxiao wants to heal the person, there will naturally be no trouble. The people under Meishan are ordinary typhoid fever, and the disciples of Pharmacist Valley will also prescribe prescription for diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, Huo Lingxiao, the owner of the pharmacist Valley, became a living Bodhisattva praised by the people.
Huo Lingxiao inherited his father's wisdom and mother's beauty and elegance, and is a well-known beauty. With the talent of a generation of magic doctors, the identity of the pharmacist valley owner, and the background of the famous sword villa, many people speculate that who will have the honor to marry this fairy-like woman. It was also six months ago that Huo Lingxiao was engaged. His fiance was Yi Hui, the son of Yi Feng, the governor of Huangzhou. Although the Yi family is a family of hairpin, Menghua Dynasty valued literature over martial arts. People have always seen low-level generals, and in the era of frequent wars, marrying military generals is a bad choice. What's more, Yi Hui's name is unknown. Even in the army, he is an ordinary soldier with no official position. People in the world sighed for a long time and sighed for this strange woman.
It's night. Mu Hanxing wrote a letter to Huo Lingxiao and passed it on with flying pigeons. The cold star also made Yi Hui set off overnight and rushed to Meishan to escort Huo Lingxiao to Huangzhou.
The autumn rain is continuous, the night is sad, and there is no light. Yi Hui said goodbye to his father and everyone, flew on his horse without hesitation and galloped on the vast road.
