The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray
Chapter 77 Dayan and the Xiongnu
Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng looked at Gu Jingzhi with approval. His injury was worth it as he brought two great generals to Jiayuguan.
"Others may not know you, Old Wu, but I know your abilities. I would love for you to stay." Gu Changfeng said with a smile.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes. Why are you playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with them? Doctor Wu glanced at him and said, "You can arrange the place. Just follow Li Xiaoyou."
Anyway, he has come here, so he can be a little bit angry. Gu Changfeng didn't take it to heart at all, "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange it for you."
Doctor Wu emphasized the instructions again before leaving.
After Doctor Wu left, Gu Changfeng looked at Shi Hanshuo with red eyes and untidy beard, and sighed, "Hanshuo, Jingzhi is fine now, you should go back and rest first."
"General, I want to stay and take care of the young master."
"Look at yourself, go back and clean up quickly, otherwise Jingzhi will be fine by then, but you will fall down instead." Gu Changfeng waved his hand impatiently.
Shi Hanshuo glanced at Gu Jingzhi, who nodded at him. Then he turned around and left, looking back every few steps.
Gu Changfeng felt a toothache when he saw him like this, "Han Shuo, this kid is too..."
He didn't say the rest of the words because he didn't know how to describe it.
Gu Jingzhi glanced at the door and looked away, "What has the Xiongnu done recently?"
"The Xiongnu have been making frequent small moves recently, and I have had people strictly block any news about you," Gu Changfeng said with a sardonic smile, "They think you are already dead, and they want to take advantage of the chaos to take a bite out of us.
Let them come, I want to see how tough their teeth are."
Gu Jingzhi's eyes darkened slightly, and it was exactly as he thought.
"Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, so the advantage is on our side."
Gu Changfeng and Gu Jingzhi, father and son, looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
Li Xi agreed to stay, and Gu Jingzhi immediately sent people to Jiangning City to pick up Hu Zi and Shi Tou. As for where to live, their Gu family happened to have two empty houses next to the Zhenbei General's Mansion, which were just right for Li Xi and Doctor Wu to live in.
This not only met Li Xi's requirements, but also satisfied Dr. Wu's idea. Not long after Li Xi left, Gu Jingzhi arranged for people to clean up the two houses.
After running around for most of the day and undergoing another operation, although she took a short nap, she did not sleep well in the chair at all. After leaving Gu Jingzhi, she returned to the tent that was arranged for her and slept soundly. When she opened her eyes again, the tent was pitch black.
Li Xi got up in the dark, holding her stomach which was beginning to protest, her brows slightly furrowed. She really owed Gu Jingzhi in her previous life. She saved him twice, and now she was still hungry because of him.
In fact, when Li Xi was asleep, a soldier came to bring her food, but she did not respond at that time. Due to her gender, the soldier could not enter her tent directly and had to leave.
In this unfamiliar military camp, Li Xi only knew the way to Gu Jingzhi's tent. Her stomach was already rumbling. She slept until dark and was extremely hungry. Without thinking, she put on her shoes and walked towards Gu Jingzhi's tent. After all, she didn't know anywhere else.
Unlike Li Xi who slept till she was unconscious, although Gu Jingzhi could endure it, it did not mean that his wound did not hurt. The pain from the wound made it difficult for him to fall asleep, and he could only close his eyes and rest.
There were soldiers guarding outside Gu Jingzhi's tent, but they all knew Li Xi's identity, so they did not stop her. They just thought she was there to treat Gu Jingzhi's injuries.
Li Xi paused as he was walking inside and instructed the soldier on his left, "Go to the kitchen and see if there is anything to eat. Bring some over."
The soldier was stunned, obviously not expecting her to say that.
"What? Is it not possible?" Li Xi didn't mean anything else, thinking that they couldn't leave their posts when they were on duty.
"No." The soldier pointed out by Li Xi reacted and said immediately, "Doctor Li, please wait a moment. I will get it for you."
The soldier said this and ran away without waiting for Li Xi to react.
Li Xi: “…”
It's not necessary to be so urgent.
Li Xi lifted the curtain of the tent and prepared to go in and wait. Gu Jingzhi, who was lying on the bed, had already heard Li Xi's voice. When she came in, he was already leaning on the couch.
Li Xi raised her eyebrows as she looked at his appearance. Wow, his recovery ability is quite good. His face was still pale in the morning, but now it has a hint of redness. He must have taken some magic medicine.
Li Xi never underestimated the wisdom of the ancients. After all, she studied Chinese medicine and knew best how many precious prescriptions were lost in the tide of history. The Zhenbei General's Mansion was the cornerstone of Dayan, so how could it not have some panacea?
"What did you take? How did you get better so quickly?" Although he was not surprised, it did not mean that Li Xi was not curious. How could a medical student not be curious about the medicines he could not understand?
"Want it?" Gu Jingzhi smiled.
"Yeah, I want it." Li Xi never likes beating around the bush.
"I can give you the medicine, but I don't have a prescription." This medicine was developed by an old imperial physician in the palace, but the prescriptions are a secret that doctors never pass on to others. They are usually passed on to their children, grandchildren, or apprentices, so they naturally don't have it.
"It's okay. Just the medicine will do." She also analyzed the ingredients and worked backwards.
"Okay." After Gu Jingzhi finished speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from beside the pillow and handed it to Li Xi.
Looking at the porcelain bottle handed to him, Li Xi felt a little embarrassed. This medicine was so effective that it must be very precious. He should have kept it with him ready to take it.
I didn't expect that he agreed as soon as I asked him. After giving me this medicine, I think his recovery time will definitely be prolonged.
Li Xi, who took the porcelain bottle, did not notice that there was a wooden box on the low table next to the couch. If she opened the wooden box, she would find that there were four other porcelain bottles like the one in her hand.
The medicinal materials used to make this medicine are indeed precious, but it is possible to only provide it for the upper class. It can only be said that this is a beautiful misunderstanding.
Li Xi, who was unaware of this misunderstanding, was at least very satisfied with Gu Jingzhi's generosity at this moment. However, she did not intend to let him suffer a loss. With five thousand years of cultural accumulation and the blessing of modern scientific and technological civilization, it would not be a problem to write a prescription that could speed up his recovery.
"Do the Huns often come to the border to invade?"
Since he will be staying in this place in the future, Li Xi naturally hopes to understand that Jiayuguan, the gateway of Dayan on the border, is not peaceful as he imagined.
Li Xi, who had known about this dynasty for a long time, knew that the Dayan Dynasty was a fictional dynasty and had not existed in China for five thousand years, but many aspects were similar.
For example, in Chinese history there were the Huns, Jiayuguan, and the capital Chang'an.
But in Chinese history, Xiongnu was the name for a nomadic people during the Qin and Han Dynasties, Rouran during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Turks during the Tang Dynasty, Khitan during the Northern Song Dynasty, Jurchen during the Southern Song Dynasty, and Tatar during the Ming Dynasty. Jiayuguan was built during the Ming Dynasty, and the capital Chang'an was the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties.
Although the Dayan Dynasty is similar to dynasties in Chinese history in many aspects and names, it is more like a graft.
However, Li Xi did not pay too much attention to this aspect. After all, she had already worn it, and there was no point in going into details.
"The Huns have the blood of aggression in their bones. The natural conditions on the grassland are harsh and the land is barren, so they naturally covet the Central Plains." Although Gu Jingzhi did not say it explicitly, his words explained everything.
There was a natural hostility in Gu Jingzhi's words, and Li Xi was not surprised. In the underdeveloped ancient times, nomadic peoples and farming peoples were natural enemies.
Since ancient times, the wars between the Central Plains civilization and the nomadic civilization have been battles for survival and decisive battles between the two sides in their struggle for hegemony in the East!
As an independent person, Li Xi originally had no stance. After all, in her era, there was no distinction between nomadic and farming peoples. We were all Chinese.
In Li Xi's opinion, no matter what race or country people are from, there are good and bad people.
Make friends with the good ones and beat the bad ones to death!
Survival is not just a life-and-death struggle, but it can also be a life-and-death struggle!
The barren grasslands made it impossible for nomadic people to obtain sufficient resources, so they had to move south in droves to plunder resources and replenish themselves.
Standing on the sidelines and looking at both sides dialectically, neither Dayan nor the Xiongnu can be said to have done anything wrong.
Dayan killed the Huns in order to defend their country, and the Huns invaded Dayan in order to have a better life. It is difficult to say who was right or wrong.
But at this moment, Li Xi stood on the land of Dayan. As a Dayan person, she naturally stood on the opposite side of the Huns.
"Are the Huns easy to fight?"
Li Xi asked directly what she wanted to ask most.
Gu Jingzhi couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "It's easy to fight. We have already figured out the Xiongnu's fighting methods. We always suppress them and fight them every time."
What Gu Jingzhi said was the truth. Perhaps because they had not been educated, the Huns' thinking was more rigid than that of the Dayan people.
They act more like wild animals, preferring to act directly and not using their brains.
However, Gu Jingzhi did not think that the Huns were completely useless. At least their cavalry was still very strong.
The Huns have been riding sheep and horses since childhood, drawing bows and shooting birds, and when they grow up, shooting rabbits and hunting foxes. They have been undergoing invisible training all the time, and when they become adults, they have the ability to fight without special training.
Because of the horses, their fighting style was more flexible. When it was advantageous to them, they could gather like birds; when it was disadvantageous, they could scatter like rain.
Therefore, although the Zhenbei Army had the upper hand in the battle against the Huns, they did not kill too many Huns because they ran too fast.
The Zhenbei Army had been guarding the border for as many years as it had been confronting the Huns.
They understood the Huns, and the Huns understood them as well.
After knowing that they could not gain any advantage over the powerful Zhenbei Army in a large-scale battle, they decisively chose a more disgusting method, which was a small-scale invasion.
The border is very large, and it is impossible for the Zhenbei Army to set up checkpoints at every location. They took advantage of this and divided the team into several small teams, specifically looking for places with weak defenses or villages to plunder, and retreated immediately once they succeeded.
They moved too quickly, so every time the Zhenbei Army received the news and rushed over, the Huns had already retreated to the grassland with the looted food and people.
Their advantages on the grassland are far less than those of the Huns, and they have not yet found the exact location of Longcheng, which is regarded as a sacred place by the Huns.
However, the Zhenbei Army also thought of ways to deal with the small-scale invasions of the Huns.
Although the Zhenbei Army had set up guard posts in every village on the border, they were able to respond flexibly. The Zhenbei Army had a special patrol battalion that was specifically responsible for patrolling places that were easily targeted by the Huns for looting.
Shi Hanshuo was the captain of the patrol team. This time, he was ambushed by the Huns during his patrol, and almost all of his team members were captured.
However, after Shi Hanshuo was captured, the Huns did not take him back to the grassland directly. Instead, they used him as bait to lure people into the trap. However, the Huns did not expect that the one who would take the bait would be the big fish Gu Jingzhi.
It is estimated that at this moment they are still complacent about killing the only son of Gu Changfeng, a big threat to the Huns. What they don't know is that Gu Jingzhi was lucky to meet Li Xi, and this time the Huns lost both the people and the bait.
Li Xi believed 80% of Gu Jingzhi's words. In war, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. According to her observation, the quality of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army is quite good, and their mental outlook is also good. They don't look like the kind of people who often lose battles.
"Doctor Li, the food is here." A voice came from outside.
Li Xi's stomach also made a sound at this time. Gu Jingzhi glanced at Li Xi's stomach with a teasing look, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Li Xi looked at him like this, and the corners of her mouth straightened up, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny!"
After saying that, she stood up, walked over, lifted the curtain, took the tray from the soldier at the door, said thank you, turned around and went back to the tent.
There were two pies and a bowl of spicy soup on the tray. The spicy soup was still steaming, so of course it should be eaten while it's hot.
After Li Xi came in with the food, she didn't even look at Gu Jingzhi. She walked straight to the table, sat down, and started to enjoy her dinner.
Li Xi didn't have the rule of not talking about food and not getting up from bed. While eating, she didn't forget to complain about Gu Jingzhi, "You are so heartless. If it weren't for you, would I be so tired?
How dare you laugh at me!"
Gu Jingzhi begged for mercy, "It's my fault, I'm sorry."
He didn't laugh at her, he just thought the sound of her stomach rumbling was very interesting and cute. However, he didn't think Li Xi would be happy if he told her his true thoughts, so it was better to admit his mistake directly.
Li Xi rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. She didn't believe it.
Li Xi was really hungry. She rolled her eyes at him and didn't look at him again. She lowered her head and concentrated on eating, taking a bite of pie and a sip of spicy soup. The spicy soup was made with pepper and dogwood. It was hot and spicy, and it made people feel warm all over.
Li Xi came here just to find food. After finishing the meal, he got up and said, "Okay, go back to sleep. I'm going back."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Gu Jingzhi's reaction.
Gu Jingzhi looked at the empty bowls and plates on the table: "..."
So, she came here just to eat.
Gu Jingzhi shook his head. Well, it was not surprising at all. This was indeed something she could do.
