Chapter 176: The Highness of the Temple (Three)

The sunset wandered in the sky for a long time, but finally fell reluctantly to the horizon, leaving only a thousand feet of rays of light, slantingly piercing the sky.

There is a heavy curtain hanging at the entrance of the Hou Mansion study. The light inside the house is still dark compared to outside the courtyard. Hou Dayong sat at the desk to make his whole body blend into the darkness.

Upon learning about Zhao Pu's death, Hou Dayong felt like he was blocked by a thick piece of iron, which was extremely heavy. Zhao Pu was a meritorious minister. Over the past two years, Zhao Pu has made a lot of efforts, especially in charge of local affairs in Lian County. The three major measures of "building water conservancy, half farming and semi-announcement, and military and civilian military farming" formulated by Zhao Pu have been elevated to the fundamental policy of the Black Diao Army to manage the Hetao region.

Zhao Pu's voice, appearance and smile were like flying bats, dancing gracefully in the dark study.

However, no matter how much he cherishes, Hou Dayong did not regret the decision to kill Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu once served as the Sima of the Black Eagle Army and was quite clear about the military situation of the Black Eagle Army. If Zhao Pu was used by Zhao Kuangyin, he would lose his chances. Moreover, Zhao Pu was decisive in his work and outstanding in his ability to do things. For his friends, he would be a rushing arrow, and for his enemies, he would be a sharp knife inserted into his heart.

The Black Diao Army had strict military discipline, and all the letters of the generals in the army were sent by Zhuyuan Staff. However, in the past two years, Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin have often had letter exchanges. This time, the Ministry of Personnel's transfer order was promoted by Zhao Kuangyin. At first, it was Zhao Kuangyin's confidant Liu Xigu who handled the matter. The Ministry of Personnel had received generous gifts from Hou Dayong. Without Hou Dayong's consent, the people from the Black Diao Army would not be mobilized. Therefore, Liu Xigu encountered a soft nail in the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhao Kuangyin came forward to deal with it. The Ministry of Personnel issued a transfer order.

Meng Shu found out clearly about the past and after.

Hou Dayong was unwilling to learn from Xiang Yu. Although Xiang Yu was so strong that he was extremely arrogant, he was narrow-minded and even more kind as a woman. He held Liu Bang's life several times. However, he did not listen to the honest advice and let the tiger return to the mountain several times. Finally, he dug his own grave and ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Hou Dayong stepped on the ashes that fell to the ground and thought to himself: "In history, Zhao Pu was a great man of a generation, but unexpectedly he turned into a pile of ashes when he first showed his might." When he walked out of the study, night had completely fallen. The crescent moon was like a hook, and a clear light enveloped the earth. Hou Dayong took a deep breath and threw Zhao Pu's death aside.

Shi Gaoyueming hummed a small song in the room. The tune was gentle and long, very similar to the lullaby of later generations. Hou Dayong listened to it at the door for a while, and his daughter Xiaoqing cried for a while, and gradually became quiet. Only the vague tune was left flying around the courtyard like a fireflies.

In the middle courtyard, Luo Qingsong squatted on the Hu chair and ate the noodle soup made by Huang Laoliu with "huh, huh" and the noodle soup made by Huang Laoliu. The noodle soup was made from stewed beef soup, and some golden square beef was added to it. When Luo Qingsong was eating noodles, he also watched the directions. When he saw Hou Dayong walking out of the inner courtyard, he quickly put down the soup bowl and stood up.

When Hou Dayong saw half a bowl of ground soup, he calmly said, "Luo Lang, don't be in a hurry. Drink the soup."

Luo Qingsong picked up the big bowl and poured the powerful noodles into his stomach like a wind blowing in the wind.

When I walked out of the Hou Mansion, the streets were dark. Although it was July, the residents in Lingzhou City were still used to going to bed early, and there was a faint light and shadow in a few yards. Along a stone slab street, I soon came to the Black Eagle Army Field Hospital not far away.

The field hospital covers a wide area, with four angrily lanterns hanging at the door, illuminating the gate quite brightly, and people entering and leaving the gate from time to time. This is the most lively place in Lingzhou City at night.

There were three general-level figures in the field hospital. One was Wu Pingsha, the commander of the Tiger Camp, the other was Jiang Hui, and the other was Guo Jiong, who almost died.

Wu Pingsha was hit on the back by a mace. Although she escaped death, her lower limbs lost consciousness. It seemed that she had lost the ability to walk forever.

Fuhu General Jiang Hui was the least injured. He was an idle person, and he would be discharged from the hospital if his wound was healed. After the officers above the commander entered the field hospital, they were directly under the management of the director Han Qi. Without Han Qi's approval, they could not be discharged. Jiang Hui's wound did not heal. Han Qi refused Jiang Hui's discharge request several times. After being entangled several times, Han Qi sent two personal guards to Jiang Hui's door, following Jiang Hui all the time, not allowing him to walk around. Military doctors are very respected in the Black Eagle Army, especially the director Han Qi, who saved countless people in previous battles and has a prestige. Although Jiang Hui has been promoted to commander-in-chief and was restricted by Han Qi, he could only complain a few times, but he still followed the hospital's rules.

After several years of continuous construction, the Black Diao Army Field Hospital has built a system and a field hospital is built in Lingzhou City. Tongxin, Xihuizhou, Jingyuan and Lian County each have a field hospital branch, a medical station is built in each battalion, and a three-person medical team is set up for each hundred people. The director of the field hospital is Han Qi, and the directors of each branch are Han Qi's three great disciples and places famous doctors from Daliang, Zhengzhou, Damingfu and other places to be invited.

Hou Dayong attaches great importance to the construction of field hospitals. No matter how busy he is, he will personally host a medical seminar every quarter. Medical officials above the heads of each medical team are required to attend the seminar. The main contents of the seminar include the use effect of various drugs, treatment plans for difficult cases, new treatment methods and medical tools, etc., which are quite rich in content.

After the Lianxian War, Hou Dayong ordered the sergeants to find dozens of dead Khitan sergeants. In modern society, Hou Dayong had been studying in military academy twice and served in the special forces for several years. He was not an amateur in human anatomy. At the discussion meeting, Hou Dayong personally dissected a corpse, explained various parts of the human body to the doctors one by one, and then ordered the doctors in their place to personally dissect a corpse.

Through this collective dissection, many doctors who deal with patients every day understand the composition of the human body and the functions of various organs. Each person has a new understanding of the medical skills he has learned before, but his comprehension ability is different, and the degree of improvement of medical skills is also different. The discussion meeting every quarter effectively improved the level of military doctors. They learned from their strengths and weaknesses, and gradually formed a very distinctive medical school - the Lingzhou School, which finally became the mainstream of Dazhou medicine. Many medical team leaders became famous doctors in the Dazhou Dynasty. Of course, this is a later story.

Hou Dayong and Jiang Hui chatted for a while before they arrived at the intensive care area. The intensive care area is located in the hospital. There is a wall about three meters outside, separated from the surrounding area, which is much quieter than other wards. The two angrily wind lights hanging on the corridors of the intensive care area were originally quite joyful, but it seemed particularly bleak here. It swayed slowly with the night wind.

There were two burly soldiers with waisted swords at the door of Guo Jiong's room. Both were Guo Jiong's personal guards. Hou Dayong came from the corridor. It happened to be in the backlight position. A personal guard stroked the handle of the knife, took a step forward, and reached out to stop Hou Dayong. When Hou Dayong approached, the personal guard recognized him as the governor. Hou Dayong made a gesture, stopping the guards who were about to salute and walked gently to Guo Jiong's ward.

Bai Shuanghua was wearing ordinary soft armor and sat beside Guo Jiong's bed. Holding his left hand, she looked at Guo Jiong who was sleeping intently. Because there was a guard post outside the door, she did not notice that Hou Dayong had entered the door at all. Hou Dayong coughed softly, and Bai Shuanghua was startled. Just as she was about to yell, she turned around and saw that it was Hou Dayong, so she stood up quickly, but holding Guo Jiong's right hand still did not release.

Although Bai Shuanghua and Guo Jiong had a marriage contract, they had not yet got married. Bai Shuanghua's face turned slightly red and she whispered: "The governor is here." Bai Shuanghua did not deliberately pretend to be cool in front of Hou Dayong. She asked carefully and her shy expression was completely a little girl's expression. She was completely different from the Bai Du Commander who was in a stern manner in the baggage camp who was doing things according to the system.

"How is Guo Lang's situation today?"

"I came after dinner. I heard from the doctor Han that Guo Lang had a fever in the morning and returned to normal in the afternoon."

Guo Jiong was shot in the left chest with an arrow, and shot the center of the heart by only one chopstick. Guo Jiong has a high status in the Hei Diao Army, ranking third, second only to Hou Dayong and Shi Hu. After Guo Jiong was injured, Han Qi did not dare to neglect him. He treated him personally. He fell asleep for two days and finally saved his life.

After Guo Jiong was worried about his life, Hou Dayong began to patrol the cities.

Hou Dayong looked at Bai Shuanghua and smiled slightly and said, "Miss Fu Ying brought news yesterday that your aunt has agreed to the marriage between Snake Bai and Guo Lang. When Guo Lang's body recovers, you two will get married."

Guo Jiong's father Guo Xingjian had already agreed to the marriage between Guo Jiong and Bai Shuanghua. Fu Ying went to the Bai family to be a mediator. Bai Chongzan's wife originally wanted to marry Bai Shuanghua to the son of Prime Minister Fan Zhi. Because the governor Bai Chongzan died in battle, the Bai family's reputation was not as good as before. Fan Zhi used the excuse to shirk off the Bai family's proposal. The Bai family's aunt, who was sighing about the cold and cold relationships in the world, agreed without hesitation when she saw Fu Ying coming to propose marriage.

Bai Shuang Huadi's biological mother was not aware of the situation. She heard that she wanted to marry her daughter to a general, and she was always uneasy. However, the aunt of the Bai family decided on the marriage and she had no choice but to burn a few more incense sticks in the temple and pray for her daughter.

Bai Shuanghua was immediately shy when she heard this, and felt a heat flow swimming around her body. She lowered her head and kept twisting a light yellow belt with her fingers, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The black-carved military soft armor naturally does not have cloth straps hanging from the towel. Although Bai Shuanghua grew up in the military camp, she looked quite serious and had a scheming attitude when doing things, but her daughter could not cover her even the most exquisite armor. Bai Shuanghua quietly wrapped a light yellow belt on the inconspicuous left lower part of the soft armor as decoration.

The belt is very small and is in an inconspicuous place. The subordinates of the baggage battalion are all strong men in the army. No one will notice the small outfit of Bai Shuanghua. Hou Dayong is slightly different from the ordinary strong men in the army. If Xiao Lin in another world is included, he also has two wives and three concubines. His understanding of women is beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers. He keenly observed Bai Shuanghua's subtle movements of stroking his belt. This subtle movement has exposed Bai Shuanghua's thoughts, and he smiled and said, "If General Bai has no objection, this matter will be settled like this. This is also a great event for the Black Eagle Army and needs to be handled well."

Bai Shuanghua suddenly thought of her father who died in the battle of Heixiong Mountain and her mother who swallowed her anger in Daliang City. She was both happy and sad, and her heart was as numb as she was, and her eyes gradually became wet, and she whispered: "Everything is the master of the Jiedushi."

When Hou Dayong talked about the marriage, Guo Jiong had already woken up. When he heard Bai Shuanghua agreeing to the marriage in person, he was ecstatic and struggled to get up. His chest hurt and he fell on the bed weakly. Bai Shuanghua quickly turned around and said angrily: "Get up and shout, I'll help you. Dean Han told him not to use force, otherwise the wound would burst and he would suffer again." In fact, Han Yuan's original words were "If the wound bursts, there would be life worries." Bai Shuanghua's heart had long been tied to Guo Jiong, and the four words "life worries" were not willing to be added to Guo Jiong no matter what, so it turned out to "suffer again."

Guo Jiong thought of Bai Shuanghua's thoughts, and he lay on the bed and said, "I am still lying on the bed. It's really inappropriate." Having said that, Guo Jiong did not dare to force himself to get up again. Looking at Hou Dayong, Yu Guang was on Bai Shuanghua.

Bai Shuanghua held Guo Jiong's pillow, making him lie more comfortable, and then said shyly: "Jingdu, I will say goodbye first."

Thinking that Guo Jiong would get married soon, Bai Shuanghua's heart felt like countless jumping deer. All kinds of feelings were in her heart. Bai Shuanghua carried two personal guards of the baggage camp with her. These two soldiers had been to the baggage camp for nearly a year. They were still young and ignorant. They wiped their waist knives every day, dreaming of killing the enemy in front of the army to make contributions. However, the Black Eagle Army attached great importance to the protection of the baggage. The probability of the baggage soldiers killing the enemy was too small, and General Bai was stern and sneering, let alone drinking and scolding her with the guards, which made the two young personal guards very depressed.

When Bai Shuanghua went out, two depressed guards quickly followed. The three of them walked for a while, and Bai Shuanghua suddenly said, "Wang Jiulang, come get some braised pig's feet. I want to have a drink today."

Wang Qilang was really ranked eighth at home. His father and mother gave birth to eight sons in one go. He used all their energy to give birth to a son, and the eldest was called Wang Dalang, the second was called Wang Erlang, and so on, Lao Ba was naturally called Wu Balang. The name of Wu Balang is naturally easy to arouse people's associations. The name of Wu Balang is well-known in their village, which made Wu Balang laughed a lot since he was a child. Wu Balang had many awkward things with his parents for this name. However, his arms could not twist his thighs, and Wu Balang's name grew up with him. After Wu Balang arrived in the army, he took his own initiative to extend his ranking back, and changed from Wu Balang to Wang Jiulang.

The baggage battalion has always been better than other battalions. Tonight, the chef Zhao Dadan secretly braised a few pig feet. He was preparing to invite three teams from the Lion Camp tonight to tell the story of a decisive battle with the Khitans outside Lian County. Braised pig feet are rewards for telling stories. Wang Jiulang did not expect that he was too busy to talk about General Bai's eyes. Even Zhao Dadan knew about some pig feet. He did not expect that the dull General Bai would take the initiative to drink.

When he returned to the baggage camp, Wang Jiulang hurriedly went to Zhao Dadan to ask for the braised pig's feet. Bai Shuanghua said something in the baggage camp and was quite prestigious. Zhao Dadan could not curry favor with Bai Shuanghua at all. Today, there was some good opportunity. He quickly sent the fragrant braised pig's feet to Bai Shuanghua.

While drinking, Bai Shuanghua had no extra words and said, "Today is a happy day. I will give you two people a drink at will and raise your glasses."

Three of them, you drink one cup and one cup. Bai Shuanghua has a good alcohol tolerance. When Wang Jiulang held another guard away, Bai Shuanghua closed the door tightly, changed into women's clothing, and dressed up carefully in front of the bronze mirror. More than an hour later, a pretty beauty appeared in the bronze mirror.

After Bai Shuanghua said goodbye, Hou Dayong ordered Luo Qingsong to guard the door, waiting for idlers to approach, and then moved a Hu chair and sat beside Guo Jiong, saying: "Most of the united soldiers in Tongxin City moved from Gan, Liang and other prefectures. They lived with the Uighurs, Dangxiang, Tubo and other Hu tribes for a long time, and the people were extremely strong. In this battle with the Khitan army, the united soldiers made a lot of efforts. With just a little training, these united soldiers would be an elite soldier that can be fought."

Guo Jiong also felt the same way, saying: "I participated in the battle for the first time and I was trembling. These united soldiers were all new recruits. Facing a strong enemy, they were extremely fierce and fought hard, which was really admirable."

"Currence is an important factor in the strong combat effectiveness of the army. However, only by combining strict discipline, strict training, excellent equipment and brave style can it be called a real elite soldier. The Lion Camp is the elite tax of the Black Eagle Army. I am going to select 4,000 people from the united soldiers and supplement them into the lion camp. Guo Lang must recover his injuries as soon as possible. I give Guo Lang half a year to temper the four thousand united soldiers into a victorious lion. Do you have confidence?"

"Please rest assured that the Jiedushi, only once the arrow is healed, I will start training the united soldiers." Guo Jiong answered without hesitation, while guessing in his heart that after adding 4,000 united soldiers, the Lion Battalion will have more than 8,000 troops, which has exceeded the number of the Hei Diao Army during the Fengzhou period. In addition, the special chariot camp led by Chen Meng, the Lion Battalion is the highest in the Eighth Battalion of the Black Diao Army, far exceeding the other battalions. What is the reason for the Jiedushi's arrangement? In addition, training troops is the responsibility of every commander, and Hou Dayong has no need to explain it so clearly.

Only Shi Hu and Qian Xiangnan knew about Hou Dayong's return to the court to serve as prime minister. Guo Jiong was seriously injured, so he was not aware of it. Hou Dayong finished telling the whole story, and Guo Jiong was stunned.
