general lady

The good news was rushed to the capital for [-] miles. The emperor Longyan was very happy and ordered to reward the three armies. The left and right lieutenants and Ning Yixiu Qianhu were promoted to one level. Down, up a level, become a cavalry general from the fifth rank, Song Tusu has neither promoted nor degraded, only rewards.

Su Wan once pointed out that Song Tusu did not have a specific official position, but was called a general, and the rewards for military exploits were basically rewards.

After pondering the little ways inside, Su Wan deduced one thing: the emperor should know Song Tusu's identity, so he gave her a status that has no specific official position, but can command the entire army, and the reward is just a simple reward.

In the final analysis, although Song Tusu was favored on the surface, in fact...she was walking on thin ice. If the emperor repented one day, she would have nothing.

For no reason, Su Wan suddenly panicked. She knew that she was too pessimistic, but she couldn't help thinking, if one day Song Tusu suddenly had nothing, would it be... just like her?No, the life Song Tusu experienced is different from hers. Even if she has nothing, her prestige in the army still exists. Then...

There are many things rushing out of my mind, and I have the illusion of... thinking too much.

"Don't let your wound see the water, wrap it with boiled cloth, and I will come to see it when I have time." The woman who had amputated before was arranged in a separate tent, because it is special, Su Wan came to see it when she was free, Usually do not let other people come to disturb.

No matter what the people in the private army think, Su Wan doesn't intend to let others know the identity of this woman.

Grabbing her hand that wanted to grab the wound, Su Wan disagreed: "No matter how you feel, don't move. By the way, what's your name?"

Shaking his head.

"Well, then I'll get you one, let's call it Ah Wu."

Coming out of the tent, Su Wan stretched herself, wondering if she should go to the mountains again before winter, or else she would have to find a way to stock up on food.The food in the kitchen is decreasing every day, and I always feel insecure, and my stomach is about to bleed after eating rough noodles.

"Because these days are relatively free, I want to go out for a while, do you want to follow?" Song Tusu obviously had been planning for a long time, and her tone of voice was very relaxed. She pointed to herself and said, "The reward has come, and it has to be replaced with food .I'm not good at calculating this, do you want to help me?"

Two invitations in a row, obviously thinking about it for a long time.

But when chatting normally, Su Wan heard from Wang Zeng that the rewards Song Tusu received were usually gold and silver, and there were very few things cast in the palace that symbolized the emperor. When Song Tusu got something that symbolized the emperor, he was still considerate of Song Tusu raising so many private soldiers all relying on rewards to live.

Before seeing the emperor with her own eyes, Su Wan didn't mind speculating with the greatest malice, because even if the truth was bad, it wouldn't be worse than this.

It's just that Song Tusu's personal soldiers are responsible for purchasing food on weekdays. Wang Zeng has been there before. Song Tusu usually asks for money and will not interfere in these matters.This time she wanted to go out in person, could it be...for herself?

With a little bit of joy in her heart, Su Wan turned her face away, not looking at the expression on her face, and said casually: "Then go, I happen to be fine."

Putting his hand on Su Wan's shoulder suddenly, Song Tusu smiled and said, "What can you do? I heard that you have been going to see Ah Wu every day recently. Her injury is recovering well, right?"

"Well, she has a strong sense of survival. She can basically remember what I said, but she hasn't spoken yet, which feels weird." Su Wan didn't notice the expression on Song Tusu's face, and said to herself, " This person has a very large skeleton, and if I make a fake foot for her in the future, she will definitely be much stronger than me."

Finally, when Su Wan finished speaking, Song Tusu took a deep breath, and said softly: "Others don't know her identity, and they may think too much when they see you running into her tent every day. You are now... but the woman of General Song... ..."

Suddenly realizing what Song Tusu said, Su Wan's face turned red, and she didn't know how to speak. She was indeed negligent, because being with this person was the most relaxing time for her every day, and she didn't have to worry much, as if no matter what happened This person can stand in the front.

At this moment, this feeling suddenly swayed back and forth in her heart, Su Wan had the illusion that she was faintly trapped, she covered her face, not daring to look at Song Tusu.

Feeling that he had almost reminded himself, Song Tusu said relaxedly: "Ah-Wu should never speak, she has no tongue. As you said, she is too tall to be used as a man, but also a slave. In some tribes in the grassland, there are existences that are not even as good as livestock. But she can understand the Central Plains dialect, which is a bit strange."

"I will pay attention." Su Wan nodded.

Slowly, she finally felt that her face was not so red. Su Wan patted her chest secretly, laughing at herself. Now that her body has not yet started to develop, she looks like a bamboo pole. , Is it the memory of the previous life that caused the trouble?

"Rest early, and we'll leave tomorrow." Song Tusu couldn't help but patted Su Wan's shoulder again, she was so skinny, she could touch the bones with one pat, and she was obedient.

Twirling her body a little annoyed, Su Wan suddenly asked, "Just leave like this, are you okay?"

"The left and right lieutenants are good at managing the barracks, don't worry. As long as my life and death are not unknown like last time, they dare not do anything." Song Tusu suddenly stopped talking, stretched out his hand and flicked, a small stone flew out, just right Take down the tent curtain.

The curtains blocked the only light source outside, and it was pitch black inside the tent.

Fumbling to lie down, Su Wan didn't continue to ask, and Song Tusu didn't continue to speak.

The next day, Su Wan opened her eyes at dawn. To be honest, when she thought of going out, and not to the grassland, but in the opposite direction, Su Wan became a little excited and woke up very early in the morning.

But the people around him had already woken up, and when they touched it, the place was cold.

Get up quickly to clean up, the hemp weeds stepped on in the mountains has never had a chance to be used, and Su Wan rolled them up with animal skins and put them in the bag, long knives, and nothing else.

"Aww..." Ah Chou followed and listened to the conversation of the two of them all night last night. He seemed to know that Su Wan was leaving today, so he followed her feet reluctantly, rubbing back and forth.

Touching A Chou's head, Su Wan said in a low voice: "I can't take you this time. When you grow up, or I have the ability, I will definitely take you! A Chou, be good, don't make trouble today."

"Ugh..."

The people who came out this time include personal soldiers and private soldiers. I didn’t see any of the five people I saw last time. Except for Su Wan, who was in the kitchen, I met the others, but I didn’t talk to them. .

"This time the general came out in person, we must not disappoint the general." Wang Zeng also came out this time, taking time to talk to other soldiers.

Looking over curiously, Su Wan didn't understand what Wang Zeng would say.

Leaving the barracks, passing through the inner city, and continuing to move forward quickly, taking a break at noon to bury the pot for cooking, Su Wan took the opportunity to ask Wang Zeng, "Why did you say that..."

Looking left and right, no one thought this way, especially Song Tusu, then Wang Zeng said in a low voice: "Only our general buys the food for the private soldiers, and the left and right lieutenants are all provided by the family members. But Let’s buy it every month, and the nearby cities are almost out of food.”

"No way... there are only 500 people... I see." Su Wan changed her words suddenly.

The soldiers in the barracks are drawn according to the household registration registered in the Yamen, but most of the food and grass are collected nearby, and they are rarely transferred from other places. Once the food and grass are transported, soldiers are needed, and the process is far away. After the fighting, the grain and grass will be delivered. If the scheduling is normal, the grain and grass can be delivered normally. After fighting at various levels in the middle, the local officials, officials and other officials may finally get most of the grain and grass in their hands.

In order to avoid these situations from happening, most of the time it is collected nearby.

Although some situations can be avoided in this way, it has led to the collection of grain and grass in the nearest place year after year, and basically every household has no surplus grain.The policy given by the imperial court is not to withdraw soldiers, but for Song Tusu who needs to purchase food and grass, every purchase is somewhat difficult.

If you go to a farther place, the time to go back and forth is not enough.

No wonder Wang Zeng would say that.

"I hope my luck will be better this time." Su Wan said to herself, she couldn't think of a way by herself, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.
