Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, at the hour of Chen, the sudden night attack ended under the rising sun.

"General! The battle report has been preliminarily calculated. This time, more than 60,000 cavalrymen attacked. More than 20,000 were killed, 12,000 were captured, and the rest fled! Our army seized nearly 30,000 war horses and countless swords and armor!"

There was a burst of laughter in the military tent!

"Are they here to offer their horses? Cavalry attacking a city is a big taboo. Moreover, the Oirat commander made so many mistakes in this attack, it's really ridiculous!" said a general with a smile.

"I guess you didn't expect that our army could actually raise a defensible city in just over a month! A city of this size would usually take three to five months to build with our manpower!"

"That's right! When they entered the city, they all rushed to the granary in the south of the city! They sent cavalry over, probably to rob and run!"

"I guess the reason why I hesitated at the beginning was because I was dumbfounded, right? Hahaha!"

A general pointed to the map and analyzed: "But the main force of the Oirat is mainly entrenched in the Hangai Mountains, 800 miles away. I'm afraid they are unwilling to return empty-handed after this thousand-mile attack! That's why they are forced to make the foolish decision of attacking the city with cavalry!"

"Also, the Oirat came from the east, probably trying to impersonate the Tatars. Who would have thought that the general would directly release the Oirat and Tatar prisoners of war and let them recognize each other's affiliation!"

The generals were happily reviewing the battle situation, but Chu Shiyu had a blank expression on his face, thinking about how to deal with the relationship with Wala...

The sudden attack by the Oirat caused them heavy losses, but from a strategic point of view, if the relationship with the Oirat broke down, the situation in the entire Mobei area would change from three to one to two to two, which might be disadvantageous to Daxia...

The generals and Lu Daqing were unaware of his worries, and they only showed more respect for Prince Duan!

"The general is really smart! Wala thought that we would be relaxed on this cold winter night and New Year's Eve, so they planned a night attack! Who would have thought that the general would actually set off fireworks to wake up the entire army and expose their whereabouts!"

Chu Shiyu came back to his senses and didn't comment. In fact, he set off the fireworks just to make Liu Rusi happy...

"What are the casualties of our troops?"

"According to rough statistics, the total number of soldiers is over 2,000 seriously injured and over 1,300 killed. The exact number can only be confirmed after the battlefield is cleared."

The tent was a little solemn. Even compared with the enemy, the casualties of Daxia were already a great victory. However, sacrificing one's life for the country, even if it was only one person, was something worth regretting.

And now more than 1,300 soldiers have died, and it is impossible to save everyone who is seriously injured...

"Open a cemetery in the south of the deserted city, enter the names of the soldiers in the list of beneficiaries, and collect the remains of the Daxia soldiers. Each soldier will have his own grave, and they will be buried with a waist plaque or other tokens."

After Chu Shiyu finished his instructions, he stood up. The procedures for post-war handling had already been determined, so he didn't need to worry about it.

"By the way, General..." the deputy general of the Qin family army spoke.

"There are still 200 prisoners of war surviving in the Tatar gathering place outside the city... They saved more than ten soldiers of the Qin family army."

Chu Shiyu paused for a moment, and quickly made a decision: "Two hundred people are insignificant. We will exempt them from prisoner of war status and let them stay in the gathering place. If they save one of our soldiers, they will be rewarded with 100 kilograms of grain."

"Thank you, General!"

The Qin family's deputy general expressed his gratitude loudly. The reward was not generous, but it was what the Tatars urgently needed... The most important thing was that they were spared the status of prisoners of war, which was a small way to express their gratitude.

However, Chu Shiyu recalled the initial horn sound. According to the order at that time, it should have been the horn sound that alerted the sentry, who then discovered the enemy troops in the night...

"Who blew the trumpet in the beginning? What did it mean?"

"It was blown by a Tartar slave. The horn is usually used to warn herdsmen of approaching wolves."

...

After the important matters were temporarily settled, Chu Shiyu hurried to the Northeast Medical Area.

There are more than 2,000 seriously injured people. If they are evenly distributed to each doctor, Liu Rusi will have to treat more than 100 people! With her personality, she probably hasn't rested for five hours from midnight to now!

However, when he entered the medical area filled with cries of grief, Chu Shiyu slowed down his pace to avoid the stretchers coming and going...

The place for treating the wounded will naturally be allocated in the heart of the army. This designated area is guarded by layers of barracks in the middle of the northeast district.

According to Liu Rusi's request, there were eight connected medical tents and twenty tents that could accommodate ten people as wards. However, at this time, the number of ward tents on the originally empty flat ground increased to hundreds...

When he walked outside the medical tent, the guards on duty outside greeted him, "Your Majesty!"

The guards of Prince Duan's Mansion will be transformed into guards when they enter the army, but they are still accustomed to calling him Prince. Chu Shiyu assigned most of them to the medical area, and together with the ordinary soldiers, he guarded and helped Liu Rusi.

"Which room is Madam Liu in?"

When we walked to the medical tent where Liu Rusi was, the outermost curtain was opened to facilitate the wounded to enter and exit.

There were three seriously injured soldiers sitting in the small hall in the middle. Chunlan, Dongxue and a soldier were helping them with initial treatment.

There were operating rooms on both sides. The curtains on one side were half-open, and Xia Lian was helping a wounded person with preoperative preparations. The curtains on the other side were drawn, so an operation must be in progress.

Chu Shiyu walked to the curtain, wondering if he could go in, when he heard a low voice from a young man...

"Fang Qiu told me that I could talk to my sister-in-law about my troubles, and maybe they would be solved..."

"Ugh…"

With a heavy sigh, the soft voice revealed obvious impatience: "Can't you see that I'm very busy now?"

"I know...but when my cousin is done with his work, I might not have a chance to talk to my sister-in-law..."

"Shh!"

The curtain is half open!

Inside, Liu Rusi was stitching up the abdomen of a wounded man on the operating table, Qiu Ju was helping, and a man dressed as a soldier was squatting in the corner...

After Liu Rusi finished sewing a stitch, she paused and looked at the person who came.

Chu Shiyu, with a gloomy face, strode towards Qin Tao, who called him "cousin" in a low voice with a guilty look on his face!

Chu Shiyu turned to meet her gaze, his expression instantly became gentle, and he said softly: "You continue to be busy, I will deal with him."

"Yeah." Liu Rusi responded calmly and turned back to continue working. After working for ten hours, she no longer had the energy to waste on expression.

Seeing her tired appearance, Chu Shiyu felt distressed. Then he turned around and his face turned black again in an instant! He grabbed Qin Tao who was trying to sneak away! He held her hostage and walked out!

With one hand he pulled the curtain back up, and with the other he pulled the soldier Qin Tao out!

In the small open space outside, Chu Shiyu raised his leg and kicked!

Qin Tao dodged and counterattacked instinctively, but he was not very confident and his punches were full of guilt...

Then he was tripped by Chu Shiyu without any mercy! Then he was beaten violently!

The guards around or the soldiers passing by were all surprised, but after they reacted, including a few Qin family soldiers who came to take care of their comrades, they just watched with interest, and no one tried to stop the fight.

Those who didn't know Qin Tao's identity thought it was a commander beating a soldier and thought there was nothing to stop him from doing.

Most people who knew Qin Tao's identity also thought that they had a good relationship as cousins ​​- otherwise why would they allow Qin Tao to jump around in the Northwest Army? Brothers must have a sense of propriety when fighting, and it was just a normal prank in the martial arts army.

After giving Qin Tao a severe lesson, Chu Shiyu pressed the bruised and battered Qin Tao to the ground!

He actually ran to Liu Rusi with a face similar to Qin Lie, which made Chu Shiyu very angry! He squeezed out vicious words from between his teeth: "Are you deliberately avoiding me and looking for Madam Liu?"

Although he was beaten, Qin Tao was not very angry. He knew that his cousin had a domineering personality and would definitely not allow anyone else to approach the woman he liked, so he wanted to avoid his cousin... but he didn't expect to be discovered!

Qin Tao said with an embarrassed look: "I have something I want to talk to my sister-in-law about, it's a serious matter..."

He actually regarded himself as Qin Lie's younger brother? Chu Shiyu's expression became even more gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You call her sister-in-law?"

"yes…"

He used his arms to strangle the man!

Then he heard Qin Tao say as a matter of course: "A cousin's wife is still a sister-in-law anyway."

Chu Shiyu paused. Qin Tao's simple words revealed his approval of his relationship with Liu Rusi... Qin Lie's brother's attitude made Chu Shiyu secretly happy...

Chu Shiyu stood up and let go, only scolding: "I can let you talk to Madam Liu, but you have to wait until a few days when she is not busy! Didn't you see how busy she is in there?"

"Great! Thank you, cousin!"

Qin Tao jumped up and saw the woman in the white robe in the tent hurriedly walking into the operating room opposite, so he walked towards the tent.

Chu Shiyu grabbed him and couldn't help but get angry again: "Are you going to make trouble again?"

"No, my uncle Li from the Qin Family Army had just finished stitching up his stomach, and I went to help carry him to the ward." Qin Tao said straightforwardly.

Originally, Qin Tao just used the excuse of accompanying Uncle Li who was guarding Qin's army, otherwise he would be kicked out of the operating room directly. But seeing the tragic scene of the elder who cared for him so much lying on the operating bed covered in blood, he was really touched and wanted to do his best to help.
