Chapter 0006 Yang Ruoxi
The wounded camp was behind the main camp. As soon as Li Yu entered the camp, he smelled a foul odor and couldn't help frowning. He saw many wounded soldiers lying on the ground, some with broken arms or legs. These wounded soldiers screamed miserably. Some soldiers were lying there, as if they were dead. Li Yu saw that there were many maggots hovering on their wounds, which was disgusting.
Li Yu shook his head. Being a soldier was a very dangerous thing in any era. The soldiers in front of him were mostly young and strong, but at the same time, they had not been trained and could not be called qualified soldiers.
"Carry him out!" Suddenly a tired voice came, the voice was soft, which made Li Yu stunned, because this voice was a female voice. In this camp for wounded soldiers, there was actually a woman. What a concept.
"Master, it's Miss Ruoxi." Li Gu's voice came from beside him, with a hint of respect in it.
Li Yu suddenly thought of his wife Yang Ruoxi, who was not yet married to him. He did not expect that the daughter of Yang Xuangan would appear in the wounded camp, and judging from the situation, she must have stayed in the camp for quite some time.
"Why is she here?" Li Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Miss Ruoxi once studied under the Immortal Sun and is good at medicine. Since the Duke of Chu started the war, Miss Ruoxi has been treating the wounded in the wounded camp." Li Gu explained in a low voice: "Miss Ruoxi is deeply loved by the wounded camp."
Li Yu nodded. In this era when human life is as cheap as a dog, these young men joined the army, partly because of Yang Guang's tyranny, but most fundamentally to survive. But on the battlefield, life is not in their own hands. Once injured, it is even more so, that is waiting to die.
But no one expected that Yang Ruoxi would actually go deep into the wounded soldiers' camp to treat them. These wounded soldiers must have revered her like a god.
"Master Li." A pungent smell of blood hit me in the face.
Li Yu looked at the yellow-shirted woman in front of him. She was gentle, elegant, fresh and refined. This was a kind of beauty, and the more he looked at her, the more beautiful she became. Even though he had seen countless beauties in later generations, Li Yu still thought that Yang Ruoxi in front of him was more beautiful than many people. More importantly, she did not have the condescending look of a child from an aristocratic family. Even though her clothes were stained with blood, and some of the blood had even scabbed over, she did not have any noble aura, and was even inferior to ordinary women from aristocratic families.
But Li Yu felt that Yang Ruoxi was the most beautiful at this time, even more beautiful than the stars of later generations. In this era of aristocratic families, the fate of the poor was not taken seriously by those aristocratic families. Yang Ruoxi's ability to treat these wounded soldiers was undoubtedly a shocking thing for the aristocratic families.
Just for this reason, Li Jing also recognized Yang Ruoxi.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yang." Li Yu bowed to Yang Ruoxi.
Yang Ruoxi looked at the man in front of her curiously, a man who seemed familiar yet unfamiliar. She already knew that Yang Xuangan had betrothed her to Li Yu, and she had sent people to inquire about Li Yu's news before. The information they got was that he was an ordinary person, one of Li Zixiong's three sons. It was a typical case of a heroic father and weak sons. The three sons were all very ordinary people, and were merely .
But now it seems that this is obviously not the case. Just looking at the calmness in front of me, I know that this person is not simple.
"Why did Young Master Yang come here?" Yang Ruoxi asked curiously.
"The Yang family is short of servants, and we want to select some servants from the wounded soldiers." Li Yu said with a wry smile. This was the purpose of his coming to the wounded camp. These wounded soldiers were a burden to the Yang brothers, but they were treasures to Li Yu, who had no military power. Having experienced the battlefield, the injuries were not serious, and they could recover to normal. Moreover, they were called servants, so they would not be feared by Yang Xuangan. This was the best thing.
"Housekeeper?" Yang Ruoxi hesitated for a while before asking, "Did father agree?"
"I am just selecting some brothers who are injured and cannot easily go to the battlefield again. Ruoxi has been in the wounded camp for a long time. I wonder if she can help me select some." Li Yu approached Yang Ruoxi without any hesitation.
Yang Ruoxi looked at Li Yu, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "I wonder how many people you want, sir?" Servants are different from soldiers. As long as you have money, you can get a lot of servants.
"How many are here?" Li Yu rolled his eyes.
"There are 3,521 seriously injured and 1,321 slightly injured. Among them, there are only about 300 people who can quickly join the battle." Liu Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't you know how many people the young master wants?"
"Give me those three hundred men!" Li Yu said after thinking about it. It's not that he didn't want to be cruel. In this era, Yang Xuangan might withdraw his troops and leave Luoyang at any time, and he himself might be defeated at any time. The soldiers he needed should preferably be elite, so he could only choose these people.
Yang Ruoxi showed a trace of disappointment on her face, and finally said: "Sir, please show me the document from the military department."
"The military officer's document." Li Yu was stunned and said, "This also requires the military officer's document."
"Of course, although these people are young and strong, since they have joined the army, even if they are soldiers, Young Master Yang needs them, so he needs to pay some money to the military officer to turn them into servants." Seeing that Li Yu did not understand, Yang Ruoxi explained, "Young Master Yang also needs to get a document from Lord Yang."
"Military officer? Yang Gong said." A middle-aged man appeared in Li Yu's mind. He bowed to Yang Ruoxi and said, "Thank you for telling me, Miss. I will go to see Lord Yang right away."
Strangely enough, Yang Xuangan rebelled against Yang Guang, but Yang Gongdao came to him and was given the important task of military officer. Who was Yang Gongdao? He was the son of Prince Guan Yang Xiong, who was once known as the Four Nobles along with Gao Jiong, Yu Qingze and Su Wei in the early years of the Sui Dynasty and was a member of the Sui and Yang clans. Such a person actually came to join the rebels. On the one hand, it can be seen how unpopular Yang Guang was among the nobles, and it can also be seen how stupid Yang Gongdao was.
However, as one of the Guanzhong nobles who came to seek refuge with Yang Xuangan, Yang Gongdao himself had a separate tent. When Li Yu arrived, he saw a middle-aged man with a handsome face sitting there with a book in his hand, as if he was immersed in the world of poetry and books.
"My nephew greets Lord Yang." Li Yu was disdainful in his heart, but still showed respect on his face.
"Li Yu, the son of Lord Minister Li, I wonder what you are doing here here?" Yang Gongdao looked at Li Yu with a hint of disdain in his eyes. As a Guanlong family, the royal children simply looked down on Li Zixiong an official.
"My nephew was ordered by my father to buy some servants from the wounded camp, so I came here to ask for a document." Li Yu was dissatisfied, but still forced a smile and said, "As for the money, my father will give it to you later."
"How dare you! How can we buy and sell soldiers in the army? It's fine if you are ignorant, but doesn't Li Zixiong know any better? Get out of here." Yang Gongdao scolded loudly.
