"Get — out —"
Yuan Xin suffered such a big loss in Jiang Pengji's hands and lost tens of thousands of troops. How could he not be angry?
He couldn't control his stubbornness. He urgently needed a way to vent his anger. Destroying the main tent was the only choice.
The deputy generals in the tent didn't dare to go against Yuan Xin. He even killed Huang Song's confidant, Nie Xun, without hesitation, not to mention the others.
The deputy generals exchanged glances with each other and retreated resentfully. They didn't want to be swept by the tail of the storm.
Everyone filed out. Looking at the empty commander's tent, Yuan Xin panted heavily, his eyes bloodshot.
Yuan Xin couldn't escape the blame for this defeat, but he didn't want to admit it or accept it was his fault.
Victory and defeat were common in war. He would definitely kill the enemy next time!
He was depressed and drank the whole night until he was dead drunk.
At the same time …
Nie Xun, who had experienced a life and death struggle, finally opened his sleepy and confused eyes.
"The … the military counselor is awake? The military counselor is really awake!!! "
The military doctor who was taking care of him noticed that Nie Xun's eyelashes were trembling. He was excited. This was a sign that he was about to wake up.
If he didn't wake up, the military doctor who was in charge of stitching up the wound would be in despair. He was afraid of being responsible for Nie Xun's death.
Now, not only did Nie Xun not die, but he also woke up successfully. Not only did he not make a mistake, but he also made a contribution. The road to Qingyun was right under his feet!
"Military counselor, do you feel uncomfortable now? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want some porridge to fill your stomach? "
The military doctor was moved to tears. Nie Xun was definitely the most stressed patient he had taken over. He was unconscious for three days and three nights. During this period, he had a high fever and his wound was red and festering. They all thought that Nie Xun couldn't make it through this and wanted to prepare for his funeral.
They didn't expect Nie Xun to have such a strong desire to live despite looking weak. He managed to make it through the most dangerous stage.
Nie Xun's face was pale. His lips were cracked due to the lack of moisture. His eyes were dazed and unfocused as if he hadn't regained his consciousness.
The military doctor could only suppress his excitement. He looked at Nie Xun's mouth eagerly, expecting him to say something.
If Nie Xun's mind was clear, it meant that he was temporarily out of danger. If his mind was still muddled, it meant that he was still in danger.
The military doctor tried to call out a few more times, and Nie Xun finally gave him a little reaction, his eyeballs turning in his direction.
Nie Xun felt like he had just had a terrible nightmare. He groped his way forward in the dark, and there was something that he couldn't see clearly chasing after him. He didn't know what it was, but he had a faint premonition that it was extremely dangerous and couldn't be caught.
He could only keep running forward, but the footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer.
Just as he was about to lose all hope, he heard a cry coming from afar, as if it was guiding him. The girl's cries were indistinct at first, and then …
That was the cry of a baby girl. She cried for a very long time, and from time to time, she would even break into sobs. Nie Xun's heart ached for no reason.
Ignoring the thing chasing after him, he ran toward the source of the baby girl's cry. If there really was a child in this dark place, how desperate would it be? Nie Xun didn't know what he was thinking at that time, but he followed that direction as if he was possessed.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, but a dazzling white light suddenly bloomed in front of him, and the surrounding darkness was completely dispelled.
At the end of the light stood a graceful woman. She was wearing a peach-pink dress and a red blouse over her head. She was coaxing something with her head lowered. Nie Xun focused his eyes and realized that there was an infant in the woman's arms. The woman also noticed his existence, and turned around to call out to him.
"Chengyun — —"
Chengyun?
Nie Xun was shocked, and his eyes suddenly widened. Memories flooded into his mind like a tide, and he was forcibly awakened by the pain.
When he woke up, Nie Xun was muddle-headed and didn't know where he was. It wasn't until the dazzling candlelight made his eyes water that he gradually came back to his senses.
"Military counselor? Military counselor? "
The military doctor was still calling out persistently. If he wasn't afraid of offending Nie Xun, he really wanted to call out his full name.
It was said that calling out like this could bring back the soul of a lost person.
Nie Xun forcefully blinked his sore and watery eyes, and opened his mouth with difficulty.
"Water, water …"
He had been unconscious for three days and three nights. Other than the medicine that the military doctor had forced into his stomach, there were only two small bowls of porridge. He was thirsty and hungry.
The military doctor hurriedly asked someone to bring warm water and carefully fed Nie Xun half a bowl. However, Nie Xun's body was weak and it was difficult for him to swallow. Most of the water was wasted. After drinking the water, Nie Xun couldn't resist the exhaustion of his body and fell into a deep sleep again.
When he woke up for the second time, it was already six hours later.
Nie Xun was much more clear-headed. He asked for half a bowl of porridge from the soldier who was taking care of him, and his cold limbs were slowly filled with a warm itch.
When he regained consciousness, Nie Xun lay motionless on the simple bed, staring at the top of the tent.
At this moment, a deputy general ran over to look at Nie Xun out of guilt.
Nie Xun had already gathered some strength. He asked the deputy general, "How's the battle situation?"
Before he fell unconscious from his heavy injuries, the battle situation was already extremely disadvantageous. If Yuan Xin could retreat in time, the losses wouldn't be too great.
The deputy general's expression was solemn as he stammered, "Our army suffered a great defeat. We lost more than eleven thousand soldiers, and lost thirty percent of our supplies."
When Nie Xun heard this, he closed his eyes calmly.
The deputy general said, "Military advisor, military advisor … this general has a bold idea … why don't military advisor secretly send a letter to the lord and quietly dismiss General Yuan Xin? General Yuan Xin … is not worthy of being a general! We can't just let go of the military advisor's suffering this time. "
Nie Xun closed his eyes and thought for a long time, so long that the deputy general thought he had fainted again.
"Changing generals at the last minute is a taboo for military strategists." Nie Xun said indifferently, "Moreover … I'm afraid I won't be able to live for long …"
The deputy general was shocked and looked at the military doctor in disbelief.
The military doctor nodded his head awkwardly. He said, "The military advisor's wounds are too deep. Although the vital organs weren't injured, he has lost too much blood and the wounds are red and festering … if he wants to completely get out of danger, it will depend on his recovery in the next half a month. If he's not careful, he'll …"
Nie Xun had survived the most difficult hurdle, but this didn't mean that his life was safe.
There was a lack of supplies during the march and the environment for recuperation was not peaceful. All these factors were disadvantageous to Nie Xun.
Before the wounds completely healed, they couldn't let their guard down. If the wounds suddenly reopened or bad luck invaded, Nie Xun's life would be lost here. According to the military doctor's many years of experience as a doctor, the chances of Nie Xun surviving were less than five percent —
The deputy general frowned in distress. After a while, he sighed angrily. He wanted to drag Yuan Xin out and whip him. Without Nie Xun to handle military affairs, the army was in chaos. Yuan Xin was a boorish man who only knew how to train and fight … what was this!
