In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

"Report!!!!!!"

The orderly rushed to the doctor's office, shouting loudly: "Linqiu Military Report!"

In the lobby of the official office, Tian Zhi, a Zhengpingyin doctor with half-white hair in his fifties who was sitting on his knees to approve the document after the case, heard the messenger's report and hurriedly said, "Come in!"

The messenger entered the hall and knelt down, holding the sealed bamboo tube with both hands. Beside the case, Tian Shu, the son of Tian Zhi, who had been waiting for his father, hurriedly took the waxed bamboo tube from the messenger, turned around and handed it to him. The father is Tian Zhi, a doctor of Pingyin.

Tian Zhi took the bamboo tube, removed the wax, and opened the bamboo slips inside to see, his face paled with shock, then his whole body trembled, his face turned ashen, and finally he raised his head to the sky and wailed, "My life is over."

Seeing this, Tian Shu, the son of Tian Zhi, hurriedly took the bamboo slips from his father, looked at the content on it, his hands trembled, his face was pale, and he said: "This... this, the army besieging Linqiu was defeated by the Jin army. The army was wiped out, with more than [-] casualties, and more than [-] chariots were seized by the Jin army... this... this... this." After a long time, he was trembling and unable to utter a word.

Tian Zhi burst into tears, and said: "The soldiers who went to Linqiu to quell the chaos were transferred from several large cities in the west of Qi State by the ruling party. The military defenses of several big cities are almost empty, as for the old, weak, sick and disabled, the Jin army is afraid that they will be invincible all the way, and it will take only a short time to attack my Pingyin city, and I have only a few thousand soldiers in Pingyin, how can I resist it?"

Tian Shu saw his father crying, and listened to his words, but he was terrified, but a flash of light flashed in his mind, and said: "Father, the messenger from the state government just arrived in the city. Due to the exhaustion of the journey, he passed out when he entered the city gate. Then rest in the guest house of the official office, if you invite the envoy to see what the government has ordered, maybe the envoy is here to announce the increase of troops, and I don't know."

Tian Zhi seemed to have grasped the last straw at this time, trembling his lips and said: "Yes, yes, yes, how could the government not know that our Pingyin soldiers are small and weak, and cannot resist the Jin army. This envoy must be Those who issue orders to increase troops must be the ones who issue orders to increase troops. Quickly invite the envoys, quickly invite the envoys, go in person! Go in person!"

Tian Shu listened to his father's order, accepted the order, and said: "No." Then he hurriedly turned and went to the guest house.

"puff!!!!"

Before Xia Yu swallowed the mouthful of porridge she just poured into her mouth, she sprayed it out like a blowout, crying while spraying, your sister, can you make porridge with wheat that has not been completely ground from the chaff! ?Is this what people eat! ?Swallow it like 1 small razor blades and scratch your throat again! ?

Xia Yu, who was so hungry that she was almost like a mad dog, shed a few lines of lasagna tears, put down the steaming barley porridge that night, looked at the other food on the table in a blink of an eye, reached out and grabbed the leg of lamb, opened her mouth and Nibble, nibble once, and weep again.

There are no green onions and garlic in this era. Both of these things were brought back by Zhang Qian after his mission to the Western Regions. The mutton is unbearable, hard and hard to chew, but no matter how difficult it is to chew, it will be eaten. Who will make Xia Yu hungry?

When Xia Yu was struggling with the hard-to-eat leg of lamb, and his mouth was full of shreds of meat stuffed between his teeth, a man rushed in, took Xia Yu's hand and said, "Messenger, father In the lobby to get ready for government orders."

The person who came was Tian Shu, who was very anxious at this time, and pulled Xia Yu out, Xia Yu was dragged out, and shouted: "Let me take a few more bites!"

Tian Shu said: "My lord emissary, what time is this, let's eat later."

Xia Yu hurriedly turned around and picked up the scepter and brocade box on the couch, and was dragged out of the yard by Tian Shu very "toughly", not even able to eat a few mouthfuls of the man's smelly and unpalatable leg of lamb.

I was dragged to the lobby. Fortunately, Xia Yu was influenced by "National War". Xia Yu had done the initial etiquette task countless times with different numbers. At this time, she was very familiar with the complicated etiquette of this era. Yes, I went through the steps once, and after the order was announced, I gave the sealed silk script brocade box to Pingyin doctor Tian Zhi.

Trembling, Tian Zhi received the secret order from the state government's silk book, read it carefully with disbelief, yelled, and immediately fainted to the ground.

Tian Shu was shocked, and hurried up to support his father, and shouted anxiously: "Father! Father!" Seeing the repeated calls, his father Tian Zhi did not wake up, turned his head and shouted, "Call the witch doctor."

Xia Yu stretched her neck and took a few glances. Seeing that Tian Shu was in a hurry, tears were like beads, crying wildly while hugging his father, Xia Yu stood beside him and watched him cry. The doctor's attendant hadn't invited him back yet, Xia Yu felt a little bit sorry for himself as if he was watching leisurely by himself, clicked his lips a few times, and finally couldn't help saying: "You pinch him among the people."

Tian Shu's teary eyes were hazy. Hearing Xia Yu's voice, he turned his head and asked, "What?"

Xia Yu pointed to the position below her nose and above her lips, and said, "Here... among the people, he passed by for a moment, you pinch him among the people."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Tian Shu was skeptical, but at this time he was in a hurry and went to the doctor, so he tried to pinch his father Tian Zhi's people, and after a while, Tian Zhi woke up, Tian Shu was overjoyed, and said: "Father! Father!"

Tian Zhi woke up, and then burst into tears, saying: "The Yue Kingdom took advantage of the fire to loot and invade the southern border of our Qi Kingdom. The ruling party has withdrawn the troops from the east of the Great Wall back to the vicinity of Linzi to defend the Yue Kingdom."

Tian Shu was shocked when he heard this, and said: "The border between the southern border and the Yue Kingdom has not built the Great Wall for defense. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to fight on two fronts.”

Tian Zhi wept and said: "It's more than that, the Yue country violated the border, and the ruling party gathered troops to Linzi, but they couldn't reinforce me in Pingyin. The government will order my father and son to defend Pingyin to the death. Every soldier must defend Pingyin."

Tian Shu said in a trembling voice: "This... this... Jin army is so powerful, how could it be my little Pingyin who can defeat it?"

The father and son wept at each other for a long time. With the support of his son Tian Shu, Tian Zhi stood up reluctantly, bowed down to Xia Yu and said, "The envoy has worked hard from afar, and he hasn't washed up yet. We should have left the envoy to rest in Pingyin for a few days. Yin has become a dangerous place for soldiers at this moment, the envoys should leave immediately and return to Linzi to inform the ruling Linqiu of the defeat, and ask the government to formulate countermeasures."

Tian Zhi said that Xia Yu "hasn't washed up yet", referring to Xia Yu's ragged clothes and muddy face at the moment. He threw himself on the prepared meal, and was ordered by Tian Shula before taking a few bites, so he didn't have time to take a bath, and he still maintained the "simple" virtue of eating and sleeping along the way.

At this time Xia Yu heard Tian Zhi's words, a line of lasagna tears flowed from his face, and two clear marks were drawn on his cheeks covered with black mud. Xia Yu took Tian Zhi's saluting hand and said, "Doctor, I Stay, I won't go."

Pingyin doctor Tian Zhi burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "The envoy, Gao Yi, is willing to fight against foreign enemies with my father and son. My father and son are grateful, but at this time, returning to Linzi to report the letter and ask for help is the most important thing."

Xia Yu's tears were streaming down her face, she almost washed her face white, and said, "Doctor, I won't leave, I will stay." Please, don't let me deliver letters, that's not a human job. From here to Linzi, it is several times farther than the way I came here, and I will definitely starve to death.

Tian Zhi, the doctor of Pingyin, bowed again, understood: "Envoys have a duty to help the country guard the border, but I really can't keep envoys at this time."

Xia Yu burst into tears and said, "You can keep me."

Tian Zhi, the doctor of Pingyin, was weeping. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said tremblingly: "Envoy, I really can't stay. Pingyin's fall will only happen in an instant. This place is really dangerous."

Tian Shu also cried tears, and also took a step forward at this time, saying: "Our duty is, even if we die in battle, we are loyal to the country, but the envoy has to return to Linzi to inform the ruling..."

Xia Yu's tears flowed even more fiercely, she shook Tian Zhi's right hand up and down, and said, "Doctor, it is the beginning of spring, the snow has just melted, and the roads are muddy. Pioneer, the road is not conducive to cavalry combat at this time, and it is impossible for the Jin army to abandon the extremely powerful Zhao soldiers to march alone; moreover, the Jin army has been out for a long time, and it is time to plant and cultivate land, so it is impossible for the Jin army to let all the young soldiers Strong laborers missed the spring plowing and autumn harvest when they went out to fight. At the same time, most of the birds and animals were emaciated after a whole winter. Hunting in the mountains and forests was far from meeting the Jin army's food needs. Therefore, if the Jin army further attacked Pingyin, it would have to wait until the autumn harvest. After all the soldiers and horses are rested... wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow Xia Yu is definitely not that familiar with the armies of other countries, but in "National War", he got into the ruling position in the Jin country. He is not familiar with the Jin country, but which country is he familiar with.

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Tian Zhi wiped his tears with his left sleeve, looked up at Xia Yu, and said, "Envoy, are you serious?"

Xia Yu held Tian Zhi's right hand tightly, and said with lasagna tears: "It's true! Absolutely true!"

Tian Zhi raised his left sleeve and wiped his tears again, saying: "Even so, the envoy should return to Linzi as soon as possible, report the military situation here, and then ask for reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible."

Xia Yu shook Tian Zhi's right hand frantically with a cat face, and said, "No! No! I can help you defeat the Jin army! You don't need to go back and send a letter for help."

Hearing these words, Tian Zhi's eyes lit up like stars, and said, "Is this really true?"

Xia Yu said: "Really! Absolutely! But I have one condition."

Tian Zhijue suddenly heard that there was a way to save his life, he was overjoyed, and said: "The envoy only asks for something, and he will obey everything."

Xia Yu said: "Please, let me have a full meal, I'm starving to death."
