Chapter five hundred and fortieth harassment
When she set off, Mier looked anxious and energetic. She was helped back when she came back with arrow wounds and blood. A lot of the blood did not belong to her, but to her two companions who died with her. The tough woman Liu Yu thought was like Xu Caihua could not come back.
"Mi'er, Mi'er..." Seeing someone, Mi'er fell into a coma, Dolin went up to check Mi'er's injuries with concern and kept calling her name lightly.
On this side, Lian Husheng was repaying Liu Yu. Because Xu Yuanfang's army was closely out of the outpost, Lian Husheng could not bring people too close to the enemy camp. Moreover, because the people led by Mi Er were accidentally discovered by Xu Yuanfang's army's outpost, Lian Husheng could not help but alert the snake. After saving Mi Er and others, he immediately evacuated.
"Have you started a gun?" Liu Yu asked.
Lian Husheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, the boss, we dealt with the corpse. We buried it after carrying the corpse down the mountain. It is located in the bushes and is not easily discovered."
Liu Yu nodded and expressed his understanding. Originally, Lian Husheng did not want to reveal that the soldiers of the imperial army around him were doing the right thing, but Liu Yu felt that Lian Husheng did not do enough. If it were him, he would have pretended to hide the body, but some clues were revealed. Only Xu Yuanfang's people would suspect that the imperial army had military operations around him, and the wind and wind were full of soldiers, which could limit Xu Yuanfang's further actions against Bai Yue. This would also help Xu Yuanfang withdraw his troops immediately after learning about the military operations of the imperial army against Kang Sheng.
"It's good to deal with it." Liu Yu didn't force it, saying, "But we're going to evacuate here soon and go to a safe place to discuss it in detail."
While the night was just halfway through, Xu Yuanfang's people had not noticed something strange yet. Liu Yu chose to retreat. Liu Yu was considering safety. Their location was only five or six miles away from the outskirts of Yetou Mountain. Xu Yuanfang's sentry detectives might patrol, and the injuries of the three Baiyue people including Mi Er were relatively serious. Liu Yu was also considering their lives. Only when they were far away from Yetou Mountain would they dare to make fires and boil water. In these days and in the environment, treating wound fire and hot water is essential.
Because some soldiers were searching for the news and had not yet returned, Liu Yu left a mark on the spot to indicate the direction of the retreat, and then someone lifted Mi Er and waited for the injury to retreat. After walking for about two hours, it was almost dawn, Liu Yu estimated that it was more than 20 miles away from Yetou Mountain. When he arrived in a valley surrounded by trees, Liu Yu decided to stop. But Liu Yu was not in a hurry to make people angry, but asked Lian Husheng to take people to contact the Huang Yue people in the rear.
"Brother, I'll go too." When Duolin heard that Liu Yu was going to contact Huang Yue people, she volunteered. She was already worried about the situation of the women and children in the clan. As Huang Yue's "Questions" of her "Questions", she was vaguely uneasy when she was not around the clan.
"It's okay, you stay here first." Liu Yu said. "Mier still needs your care."
After all, Mi'er is a woman and has injuries on her body. She needs someone to clean the wound and bandage it to stop bleeding. Qu Ning was originally capable of these, but Mi'er obviously distrusts her as a Han Chinese Qu Ning, so Liu Yu had to ask Duolin to help.
Liu Yu asked Lian Husheng to contact the Huang Yue people with another purpose, which was to bring the medicinal materials and people left there for the time being. In this war without gunpowder, Liu Yu was also preparing to temporarily use this small bush as a base camp. You can attack when you advance, and you can retreat when you retreat.
During the day, Liu Yu asked the soldiers to prepare breakfast, and finally got a little away from the front line of the battlefield. The soldiers could finally let go of their hearts and make hot rice. The soldiers' faces were still relaxed, and they were talking and laughing when they fetched water in front of the stream in the valley. At this time, Mi'er was in a bad mood. Because of her willfulness, two of the four companions were missing in a blink of an eye, and she was injured and could not fight side by side with her own tribe members. Mi'er was worried about the situation on the mountain, and he complained that he refused to eat and drink. Duolin had no choice but to persuade her.
"A sister, it's useless to say too much. This girl is very stubborn." Liu Yu walked forward with a little contempt in his tone. Although he couldn't understand Duolin's Yue family language, he could roughly guess what it was. Liu Yu looked at Mi Er who was staring at him, "Little girl, if you want to protect your tribe, you have to eat and recuperate. I said that Dikui will withdraw troops in three days, so this time will not be wrong."
Duolin said cleanly: "Yes, Mi Er, only by having enough food and having the strength can you fight with those land kids to the end."
Encouraged by Liu Yu's three-day deadline, Mi Er's depression was much more relieved, and he finally stopped suffering from his body like he was seeking a short-lived view. Later, it became much easier for Duolin to help her treat her wounds.
When Liu Yu and Lian Husheng came back, they were also a little upset when they saw Lian Husheng's feeling a little upset. Originally, Liu Yu arranged for Lian Husheng to inform Huang Yue's women and children to retreat for a distance and wait for news, but unexpectedly, Lian Husheng brought the person here.
"The boss is the group of Yue women who said they had to be by our side to feel at ease. They also said that they were dangerous and didn't care."
Liu Yu understood Huang Yue’s thoughts, because they were afraid of being abandoned. In their opinion, Duolin had found her home, so her heart stopped looking at them. Leaving these men, they could only survive in the mountains and fields. And after following, although they might deal with sudden wars at any time, they still felt safe in their hearts.
"If Huang Yue people want to come, let them go. This place is a distance from Yetou Mountain. If we investigate in time, we can evacuate before there is any situation." Liu Yu arranged the resettlement of Huang Yue women for Lian Husheng, and then arranged a new strategy. Then Liu Yu also went to rest. Liu Yu did not have enough sleep these two days, and there were still troubles in the future, so Liu Yu had to rest.
After afternoon, it started to rain. Liu Yu asked the soldiers to set up a tent, but instead of sleeping for the soldiers, sheltering the women and children in the valley from the wind and rain. Liu Yu looked at the sky. The military operation he had originally planned to carry out at night was also advanced by him. Rainy days were the best time for him to take action.
Liu Yu grabbed the long spear and short spear, greeted the soldiers, and signaled to set off. Huang Yue, who was originally living in the tent, was quite happy, but suddenly saw the people from the caravans leaving, and they all went out to check the situation.
"Brother, where are you going?" Duolin hurriedly ran over in the rain and asked.
"I may not go back later when I go to Yetou Mountain. Take good care of Mier and your tribe members. Wait for me with peace of mind." Liu Yu said with a faint smile.
"Dolin goes with you."
Seeing Duolin's firm look, Liu Yu smiled again and said, "Do you follow me wherever I go?"
"Um."
"Then I will listen to the prince's words this time. I will let you stay, just to let you go together in the future. With you by my side, the prince can't concentrate on doing things."
Liu Yu stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on Duolin's face. Suddenly, he felt that the little girl who insisted in the rain was very beautiful. He couldn't help but kiss her forehead. Two red clouds suddenly rose on Duolin's face, making him even more shy and charming.
Liu Yu touched Duolin's head again, picked up his gun and left the valley with Lian Husheng and his guards. This time Liu Yu went to Yetou Mountain to personally investigate the situation around the mountain, and then complete some things that Lian Husheng had not completed. It was to cause some trouble to Xu Yuanfang Dikui's army.
Liu Yu approached Yetou Mountain step by step on the guide of Lian Husheng, and the rain became heavier and bigger at dusk. Lian Husheng pointed out some key coordinate points, which were the points on the mountain that were easy to hide, easy to defend, difficult to attack, or could be used as breakthrough points.
Although they were only one of the Yetou Mountains, and Liu Yu didn't know how far it was from Bai Yue's village, Liu Yuyin saw the patrol of Xu Yuanfang's periphery in the grass, and he could guess that Bai Yue's main village was not far from their place. This time, Liu Yu only brought more than a dozen people, so it was naturally difficult to go up the mountain, but it was too easy to cause some trouble.
The rain has not diminished. The sound of the rain is not small. Everyone around Liu Yu is used to using guns, and it can be said to be the "sharpshooter" in the new army. As long as Liu Yu points out, he basically means that the soldiers can fight wherever he can. After killing some of the periphery provos one after another, Liu Yu originally wanted to retreat, but thought it was a bit insufficient. He felt that he should catch a living person and come back to ask.
So a "squad leader" of Xu Yuanfang's army who witnessed his companions falling down for no reason and was in horror to escape, was taken down by a group of people who suddenly escaped from the grass, and then he became a prisoner and was taken to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu looked at the young man tied up in front of him, staring at him with wide eyes and frightened eyes. He felt that his skin and tender flesh did not look like a soldier, but rather like a little white face. Liu Yu even looked carefully and confirmed that he was a man with an Adam's apple, so he signaled that the soldiers would carry it. The group hurried down the mountain and left the area of Yetou Mountain before nightfall.
"Tell me, who is it?" When he arrived at a safe place, Liu Yu had to interrogate the prisoners first. Liu Yu had no intention of taking the prisoners back to the valley, so the direction they went down the mountain was not the direction of returning to the base camp.
The young man was frightened. After calming down a little, he looked at the group of weird people in front of him who seemed to be crawling out of the mud and wearing straw hats on his head. He didn't speak.
When Liu Yu saw his observing human expression, he couldn't help but frown.
Lian Husheng said on the side: "Are this guy scared? Or can't understand what we say? If I had known, I would have brought Lao Fang here too."
Lao Fang was the guide of the caravan, and the soldiers from the south were also considered to be Lao Ma to know the way. This time the operation was dangerous, so Liu Yu left Lao Fang in the base camp. Lao Fang himself was also familiar with several languages in Lingnan.
Liu Yu was a little impatient to make a chopping gesture, and he was about to leave. When the soldier got ordered, he picked up his knife and prepared to go up and kill the prisoners.
"No, don't, I can understand your words, don't kill me. I...I say everything...what do you want to know?"
The young man speaks with a straight voice, but he doesn't have a southern accent when he hears it. Obviously, he has been in the north for a long time to have such a pure northern accent.
Liu Yu turned around and smiled coldly, "Hey, I won't cry until I see the coffin. I have to put the knife on my neck before I can honestly explain it. You know."
The young man swallowed his saliva, leaned against the tree and sat on the ground, begging for mercy, "My name is Xu Yuanwei, and he is General Xu Yuanfang's younger brother. If you let me go, I...I will exchange gold, silver and wealth with you. Otherwise, you notify my brother, he...he will meet your conditions."
Liu Yu and Lian Husheng looked at each other, obviously a little incredible. They only thought they had caught a small character, but who knew it was Xu Yuanfang's younger brother. As for whether it was true or not, Liu Yu couldn't say it, but with the young man's conversation and tender skin, it did not seem to be from the army, and it was also possible that what he said was true.
Liu Yu knew the twenty-five local forces in the south very well. Xu Yuanfang was a veteran among the southern forces and had no children. He mainly relied on his brother and several younger brothers to help him conquer the world.
"You said you are General Xu's younger brother, what is the proof?" Liu Yu asked.
Liu Yu called Xu Yuanfang General Xu, and this title was to make this person unable to grasp their position and origin. Originally, landlords like Xu Yuanfang were all generals appointed by the imperial court before, or generals of the regular generals. However, their positions may have been inherited or appointed by other landlords. Of course, in official occasions, these landlords would still consider themselves to be generals of the court, making people think that the court supported them.
"Proof? No proof. Oh, look at me, the clothes inside, I am not a soldier. Today I am just here to inspect the missing soldiers yesterday. Don't you believe it? I...I..."
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Lian Husheng turned to Liu Yu and asked in a low voice: "There is a big deal, how to deal with it?"
"Take it back and ask clearly, it's a big deal and it's better to do things."
Liu Yuxin said that since he was Xu Yuanfang's younger brother and a greedy person who was afraid of death, he could bring a lot of useful information out of his mouth. However, Liu Yu also knew that this move would be dangerous. If he brought this "big figure" back, Xu Yuanfang's subordinates would definitely be suspicious, and they might temporarily postpone the attack on Bai Yue's territory and come to find this second-generation ancestor.
But this may be a good thing for rescuing Bai Yue.
The night was solemn because it was not very familiar with the roads around. Taking advantage of the darkness, Liu Yu and others finally found the direction to go back. When they returned to the outside of the valley, they communicated with signals. Liu Yu was also a little tired. At this time, the entire valley was pitch black because it was still raining from time to time, and the fire could not be produced, and the sky was not bright.
"Big boss." Liu Yu came back, and the soldiers guarding the valley lit torches to greet him, and then reported to Liu Yu about the situation in the valley behind Liu Yu's departure. Because the valley was remote, no one else could disturb him except snakes, insects, rats and ants, Liu Yu was calm after leaving.
Liu Yu originally planned to move the base camp, but at this time he felt that changing the place might not be stable. It is better to be quiet than to move.
Liu Yu entered the valley and asked someone to temporarily take the prisoners for interrogation. He had to wash away the mud on his body first, and then find a warmer place to sleep.
Liu Yu asked the guards to take the clothes he had changed, and then he went to the stream to wash his body first. When he put on his clothes, the soldiers had already set up a fire with tung oil. Dolin looked at this side not far from the fire.
"Brother."
After searching for a long time, Duolin searched for Liu Yu, and immediately rushed over and plunged into Liu Yu's arms, like a little wife who hadn't seen her husband for a long time. But after seeing Qu Ning come out, she immediately restrained her actions, let go of her hand holding Liu Yu, and stood timidly like a maid.
"How is the injury?" Liu Yu picked up the casual clothes and set them on the fire to roast them. Facing the fire, Liu Yu felt a little warmer.
Qu Ning said: "The injured person's injury is not serious, but the weather is heavy these two days, so I'm afraid... there will be trouble..."
Liu Yu didn't say anything, but he also understood that what he feared most when he was injured was heat and dampness. He took all of these two things in Lingnan at once. It was a small amount of bleeding in the wound, and the subsequent wound healing was a big problem. After all, there were no powerful anti-inflammatory drugs these days, and ordinary decoctions were simply to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Liu Yu added firewood to the fire and said, "Go back early to rest. There are many things to do tomorrow, and you need your care for the injury."
Qu Ning said "um" and went back to her tent. Duolin was looking at the actions of the "couple" couple. She could also feel that Liu Yu and her wife seemed to be "outsided". In the past two days, Liu Yu and Qu Ning didn't even say a few words, and many of her intimate actions with Liu Yu fell in Qu Ning's eyes, and Qu Ning didn't have any special expressions.
After Qu Ning left, Duolin asked timidly: "Brother, where are you sleeping?"
Liu Yu smiled and pointed to a tent not far from the fire and said, "Where is there, come and find me if you have anything to do. You can go back and rest first."
Duolin nodded obediently, then turned back to the tent prepared for the female family on the other side of the bushes. Liu Yuze went over to see the interrogation of the prisoners, and then walked towards his tent after learning the specific situation.
From the prisoners, it was learned that Xu Yuanfang's main army came to besiege Baiyue's village in Yetoushan, which was much smaller than Baiyue's estimated number, with only about 1,200 people. Xu Yuanfang's own troops were only 3,000 or 4,000 people, and it was already a large number of people who were drawn at one time. Xu Yuanfang's eldest brother Xu Yuanli, and Xu Yuanfang's two younger brothers Xu Yuanhong and Xu Yuanwei were assisting.
Getting these basic news is already a great gain for Liu Yu, at least he has known his enemy and his friend. Liu Yu entered a half-man-high marching tent, laying on a somewhat damp sheepskin blanket to fall asleep, and suddenly felt something moving on one side of the tent. Liu Yu immediately thought it was a snake, insect, rat, and ant, so he picked up the short gun and wanted to take action. Then, a gap was opened by the tent, and Duolin's little head came in.
Liu Yu's tent was open on one side, and the curtain was not lowered, just facing the direction of the fire, and the direction of the fire was also a place where soldiers gathered. Duolin wanted to come in and sleep with Liu Yu, but she didn't want people to know, so she had to get in from the side.
As soon as he entered the tent, Dolin immediately got into Liu Yu's arms, and her passion was as hot as fire. Her body also attached to Liu Yu's body like an octopus, and her head kept drilling into Liu Yu's clothes.
"Don't do this next time." Liu Yu sat up and put down the curtain, which made the entire tent an enclosed space and Liu Yu's private territory.
"Brother, Dolin knows." Dolin stood up and sat on Liu Yu's lap, nodded with her head and said timidly.
Liu Yu looked at Duolin and could also feel her panic in her heart. It was because Liu Yu's promise was not settled that she made such an urgent dedication. Originally, Liu Yu also understood the little girl's sincerity, but at this time, Liu Yu had just returned from the battlefield and had experienced killing and long-distance journey. He was already very tired. He was really not in the mood to pick such a delicate Jieyu flower in such a dark environment.
"Dolin, Brother is really tired. Come here, Brother holds you to have a dream." Liu Yu was already ready to go into the sleeping bag in the tent and went to bed, so he had to use the sleeping bag as a pillow first and reach out to hug Duolin.
Duolin whispered: "Dolin knows that the prince is tired, Duolin will..."
Duolin's voice became smaller and smaller. She quickly untied the pair of collars of the upper shirt and the small shirt inside, and also untied it. Under the faint fire light, she exposed her dizzy and yellow skin. Then a pair of trembling hands untied Liu Yu's mid laner, then leaned down and her tongue slid down along Liu Yu's navel, allowing Liu Yu to feel the considerate and gentleness of this little Jieyuhua.
At this moment, Liu Yu smiled slightly on his face, and he couldn't help but think of Qier who was far away in Jiankang City. Among the women in the family, Qier was only so considerate. Xu Xuanzhu and the Han sisters lost their mother for a long time, and no one taught them, so Liu Yu never forced them. Liu Yu did not expect that he could enjoy such tenderness in such a journey full of crises and unknowns.
A poor woman was a family, and Duolin's sisters of the same age were mostly married, and she knew no less than married women. Her humility and respect for Liu Yu made her try her best to please Liu Yu in hopes of winning Liu Yu's love.
Outside, it is rainy and damp, and the warmth and silentness in the tent is better than sound. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
