Chapter 116 The Mysterious General of the Western Army

"Okay, Wang Mazi!"

After leaving the Li Mansion.

Li Gu, the steward, drove to the Su residence with his carriage, while Xu Yun and his servants had to return on foot as usual.

Along the way, Yongzhu and the others changed their normalcy and started to praise Xu Yun.

Although as servants who could not read a single word, they did not know the specific meaning of Xu Yun's operation of verifying the names before, but they knew one thing very well:

The lady in Li's residence seems to appreciate Xu Yun very much!

Although this Master Li Gefei is only a fifth-rank official, who knows how far he will be promoted in the future?

Besides, even if the other party is really stuck at the fifth rank, as long as he can get into the eyes of that young lady, it will be no problem for Xu Yun to at least become a small official or a small head catcher, right?

For servants like Yong Zhu.

If you can be a small official in the government yamen, it is already a thing that can be burned for a lifetime.

After all, there are only a handful of servants who can become the manager level of Xie Laoduguan or Yue Lian. Most of the servants are just servants who are called around throughout their lives.

Not to mention that the officialdom has been turbulent since ancient times, and there are very few officials like Lao Su who can retire after success.

Some large mansions are still very busy today, but tomorrow they may be sealed up and trees will fall and the monkeys will disperse.

Unlucky servants may have to go to the execution ground to be buried with them, and relatively unlucky servants will have to change their masters again, and the risks involved are not unreasonable to outsiders.

Therefore, in the eyes of Yong Zhu and others, after this trip, Xu Yun instantly changed from a male actor selling PY to a potential stock.

Not to mention flattery, at least everyone's attitude is better.

The most intuitive manifestation of this is that when passing by the sour plum soup shop again, Yongzhu offered to invite Xu Yun back once, and he still drank two bowls.

Then it was another hour or so of footwork.

Near the end of Si time, that is, around eleven o'clock in the morning, a group of four people finally walked back outside Lao Su's mansion.

It was a bit hot at noon in early summer, and there were obviously many fine beads of sweat on the faces of Xu Yun and the others.

But the good news is that according to the rules of the Su Mansion, after performing such a large task in the morning, the chores assigned in the afternoon will be much easier, and they can get off work earlier.

So far away from the gate of the mansion, Yongzhu and the others were imagining how refreshed they would be after washing their faces in cold water.

The workers and servants of the mansion went in and out through the south gate, which is also known as the side gate in the common saying.

At the same time, due to the direction of the road, the servants returning to the mansion had to pass through the main gate of the mansion before arriving at the side gate.

When Xu Yun and the others came to the main entrance, they found several horses tied to the horse stakes at the entrance, and a carriage parked beside the stone lion.

Yongzhu led a few people to avoid a certain distance on purpose, looked at the carriage for a few times, and then let out a sigh:

"Huh? People from the Western Army? Is there a military officer coming to visit the master?"

Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Yun also looked at the exterior of the carriage.

It was a brown-toned carriage with a new exterior, and the horses were quite tall.

However, his major and history are not up to par. After a quick scan, he really can't see any special marks on this carriage.

Perhaps in the eyes of servants like Yongzhu who often go to and from various provinces, the characteristics of this carriage are as conspicuous as the military badges of later generations.

Friends who know history should know it.

The Forbidden Army is the collective name of the official army of the Song Dynasty, which is mainly divided into three modules:

Hebei Forbidden Army, Taiwan Forbidden Army, and Northwest Forbidden Army.

Among them, the strongest fighting force is the Northwest Forbidden Army, that is, the Western Army.

Although in the eyes of many people, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Song army is quite impressive.

But in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Western Army is not that weak, at least it will not be broken at the first touch.

Throughout the entire late Northern Song Dynasty, the real black history of the Western Army is actually two things:

One is that Tong Guan spent money to buy Yanyun.

The second is that in the last period, they went north to pick up cheap, but were pushed back by the Liao State. This Liao army was still defeated by the Jin army.

Among them, the former belongs to Tong Guan's coquettish operation. This guy bought back the 16 states of Yanyun with the money of the imperial court and the Kingdom of Jin, claiming that the war was restored, and thus he was granted the title of Duke Xu Yu.

The latter is indeed a stain that cannot be washed off, but the reasons for this are actually quite complicated.

The simplest situation is that in the Song and Liao wars, you can defeat the enemy, but it is difficult for you to wipe out the enemy's vital force, because the Song Dynasty lacked horses.

If you insist on arguing about this matter, you have to blame Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago-because since the surprise attack of thousands of kilometers in the Han Dynasty, all the nomads and sold horses have been gelded and cannot breed.

In the beginning, the Western Army actually won a few games, but they all killed motley troops. When the situation was not going well, the core troops shouted, but what they lost was the real elite infantry.

It's like that fighting spirit transforming horse, I am Dou Zong and you are Dou Di, but you can't catch up with me because my horse runs faster than you.

Among the ZTE generals in the future, only Yue Fei was not from the Western Army, so it is not difficult to see one or two from this.

So it's not about whitewashing the Western Army. Some things really can't be generalized. It can only be said that the combat effectiveness of the Western Army is really not as stretched as it seems.

The line of sight returns to the original place.

These days, the one who is qualified to sit in a sedan chair is at least a general. I don't know what the other party is going to do in Lao Su's mansion who has retired?

With this question in mind, Xu Yun and the others quickly walked past the stone lion and walked outside the side door.

As a result, as soon as they entered the door, they saw Mr. Duguan Xie who was in a hurry.

Yong Zhu hurriedly made way, and greeted him:

"Everyone cares, what are you?"

Although Mr. Xie was on his way, he stopped to see the faces of several people. He immediately looked happy, and quickly stuffed a money bag:

"Yongzhu, it's really time for you to come. You have to work hard again. Take Wang Lin Tieniu and take this prescription to the Ximen Pharmacy across the street to grab some medicinal materials. Don't talk too much, we'll talk about it when we come back!"

Yongzhu subconsciously took the purse, was stunned for two seconds, and then clasped his fists in a hurry after recovering:

"Little one understands!"

After that, he didn't ask any more questions, greeted Xu Yun and the others, turned around and walked across the street.

The area where Su's Mansion is located belongs to a rich area in Bianjing City, so various supporting facilities such as schools, medical centers, brothels, etc. are also quite complete.

For example, less than 100 meters away from the main road, there is a Ximen Pharmacy, which specializes in selling some raw medicinal materials.

The pharmacy was very close to Su's residence, and the few people walked quickly, and they rushed to the store in a short while.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Yong Zhu yelled:

"Shopkeeper, grab some medicine, this is the prescription!"

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy is also a discerning person. After glancing at the clothes of Yong Zhu and others, he recognized that they were the style of the Su Mansion next door:

"Here we come, everyone, please take a break, Quan Fu, come and grab the medicine!"

Xu Yun glanced at the stool beside him, pondered for a moment, and said to Yongzhu and the others:

"Brother Yong Zhu, you go to the side to rest for a while, just leave it to me to wait here."

After driving down the road without stopping for most of the day, Yong Zhu's body was indeed a little tired, I saw him glance at the stool with some emotion, but he still insisted on saying:

"Isn't that appropriate?"

"Hey, what can this do?"

Xu Yun waved his hands indifferently, and said with a smile:

"My younger brother is the youngest and does the least work, so I should share more work for you.

Besides, Mr. Xie has already said that these days I only need to fetch water and water the flowers. Tomorrow, the elder brothers still need to work hard, so there is no need to refuse. "

Seeing Xu Yun being so courteous, Yong Zhu and the others couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't shirk anymore.

He cupped his hands to Xu Yun, and went to the corner to rest one after another.

After a few people leave.

Xu Yun glanced at the boy who was grabbing the medicine, and deliberately found fault:

"Shopkeeper, this medicine is a prescription that our master wants to use himself, so don't fool around with some inferior medicinal materials.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. "

The pharmacy is located in a wealthy area, and the shopkeeper has to come into contact with such abusive servants almost every day, so he is not panicked when he hears the words, but just strokes his beard politely and calmly:

"My little brother, don't worry, the old man's Ximen Pharmacy is an inheritance passed down from the ancestors, and it has been a hundred and fifty years.

Whether it is medicinal materials or medical skills, they are well-known, and they will definitely not shoddy. "

"oh?"

Xu Yun put on an expression of disbelief again, and said:

"In that case, shopkeeper, I have the right to ask you, can you see what disease this prescription is treating?"

In ancient feudal society, maidservants usually came to treat women's family members' illnesses, or invited doctors to come to see and treat them in person.

Therefore, Xu Yun was not worried that his problem would involve some arrogance. The only limitation was the level of medical skills of the little old man in front of him.

really.

Faced with Xu Yun's finding fault, the shopkeeper didn't think too much, only saw him take the prescription, and looked up and down:

"White back Panax notoginseng. Red bayberry skin. Red flower"

After a while.

He put down the prescription and said to Xu Yun:

"The old man's medical skills are limited, and some combinations of medicinal materials in the prescription are difficult to understand the efficacy of."

"But judging from the main medicines among them, the prescription should be used for"

"Healing wounds from gunshot wounds."
