Chapter 69 Gathering the Remnants

"Your Highness, the Prince of Linzi is doing this to ensure your highness's safety!"

Gao Lishi stared at Li Jun and said calmly.

Although Li Jun kept promised that he did not care about Li Longji's actions and actively encouraged him to continue monitoring the movements in the East Palace.

But Gao Lishi was still worried. He repeatedly swears to Li Jun that Li Longji's move was all out of good intentions.

It seems that this Gao Lishi is really loyal to Li Longji!

"You don't have to say anything, I know Longi's intentions. Now, the situation in the court is complicated, and I need your help in the future."

Li Jun's words made Gao Lishi's eyes wet. He didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so wise. It seemed that he was his own villain's heart.

It was still early now, Gao Lishi clasped his fists and replied: "Your Highness, the prince, I will say goodbye now. I wish you a great victory in this battle!"

Li Jun nodded and walked out of the tent with him.

The soldier took Gao Lishi's mount, and he turned over, held the reins, and saluted again. Li Jun waved his hand to say goodbye, and saw Gao Lishi clamping the horse's belly and leaving.

After saying goodbye to Gao Lishi, Li Jun wandered casually on the vast wilderness.

In front of them, the soldiers were all busy.

It’s time to eat.

**The soldiers on their upper body were holding up big axes on both sides, slashing firewood hard. In the cool autumn day, their bodies were covered with sweat.

Firewood was continuously transported to the open land in front, and piled up piles, and a water pot was placed horizontally on the pile of firewood.

In ancient times, the supply of marching was extremely poor, and the soldiers ate dry food or thicker soup.

As for fish, vegetables and other side foods, you don’t even think about them, and you can’t eat them at all.

The battle site of the Tang army this time was a plateau reaction area. To prevent altitude sickness, vitamin supplementation is the key.

If you can't even eat vegetables, meat, eggs, and vegetables, you can also supplement your vitamins.

In the middle of the firewood pile, there was a large jar of earth, and a soldier stood in front and distributed pickled vegetables to the soldiers one by one.

Although the vitamin content of pickled vegetables is not as good as fresh vegetables, it is better than nothing. This is the only way that Li Jun, who was trapped in the era, could think of.

The soldiers caught a glimpse of Li Jun's figure and stood up to say hello one by one.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Jun came to the middle of the soldiers and found a place with more firewood to sit down.

The soldiers were even more afraid to sit down, and they all held their jobs, not knowing what to do.

Li Jun waved his hand and smiled, "Brothers, sit down and have dinner together. That soldier, serve me a bowl."

The thin soldier opposite, after hearing Li Jun's greeting, hurriedly served Li Jun a bowl of porridge.

He trembled and brought the bowl of corn porridge to Li Jun, not even daring to raise his head.

The boy's thin body and childish face seemed to be only eleven or twelve years old. Li Jun lamented in his heart, if this was in modern times, he would still go to elementary school.

In the Tang Dynasty, we have to go into battle to kill the enemy!

He took it with a smile and said cheerfully: "Since you are on the battlefield, everyone is brother. There is no need to be too polite. Only when you have enough food can you have the strength to win the battle."

As he said that, he took a bite of the porridge, picked up some pickled vegetables and put them in a bowl.

Seeing that the prince was so friendly, everyone was no longer polite and quickly pulled his own bowl of porridge.

Pickled vegetables seemed very popular. When I left Luoyang, I brought a full fifty jar. Now the battle has not started, I have already finished half of it.

Li Jun picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and sour, delicious, crispy and moderate, and it was really delicious.

The meal was simple and the food was fast. After a while, the Huotou Jun, who had a cloth head wrapped around his head, pushed the cart over.

He shuttled through the fires one by one and collected dirty dishes and chopsticks into the cart, which was similar to the modern canteen system.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were also special cooks in the army, responsible for cooking, cleaning up dishes and reusing them the next day.

After eating and drinking, Li Juncai remembered an important question.

Yao Kui has disappeared in the afternoon!

You know, he was so smearing that he was afraid that Li Jun would be in danger, so he wanted to stay in front of Li Jun twenty-four hours a day.

When Li Jun was having a meal, he brought the bowl to him, Li Jun pissed, and he helped lift his pants...

"Little soldier, where has General Yao gone?"

The thin soldier hesitated, Li Jun squeezed out a fake smile and asked quickly: "Did you see General Yao this afternoon?"

"General Yao is going to take care of the remaining soldiers."

“Which tent is it in?”

The soldier pointed at the distance and said, "It's just the second tent, I've been washing their clothes for them just now."

Li Jun nodded slightly, and the soldier ran away as if he was flying.

With big strides, he gradually approached his goal.

The so-called remnants are the You Yong who lost and fled on the front line. They often swept into groups of three or five and never dared to return to their hometown.

Since entering Hezhou, Li Jun has encountered several soldiers scattered on the front line. As long as his arms and legs are still moving, he will be reorganized into the team and continue to go on the battle.

Those who are sick, injured, and able to cure are also sent to specialize in care.

Before he could reach the tent, Li Jun found that Yao Kui was standing sneakily by the river, working very hard and didn't know what he was doing.

He held his footsteps, lowered his voice, and gradually approached him.

Suddenly, Yao Kui felt his shoulders sink. He turned around and Li Jun's square face came into view.

"You have been hiding for this afternoon to wash their armor?"

After getting closer, I realized that there were three chain mails beside Yao Kui. Although it had been cleaned briefly, the color of blood was still visible.

The pig bristle brush in his hand was thrown aside, and Yao Kui said with a sincere look: "Your Highness, they are really miserable!"

The shiny eyes were so shiny that Li Jun couldn't bear it. He stroked his forehead and said, "How many remaining soldiers are there this time?"

"Three, only three are all soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate."

Only three, Li Jun stared at the armor scattered on the ground and fell into deep thought.

"Take me to meet them!"

In a moment, the two had already arrived in the second tent, and the remaining soldiers gathered from near Hezhou were all arranged to live here.

Li Jun took a look and found a new face.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The armor on Li Jun showed his identity, and the three of them hurriedly came over to salute.

Li Jun gave him a seat one by one, staring at their dark faces, and asked, "I heard that you are from the Anxi Protectorate? What's the situation of the battle?"

"It's so miserable. Your Highness, I have an invitation. I wonder if it's right to speak?" A warrior with red eyes almost howled.

"But it's okay."

The man walked a few steps and crawled on the ground.

"Help your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"The pseudo-Tubo captives launched several fierce attacks from Dafei River. Although our soldiers fought hard, they gradually became dissatisfied and have now retreated to protect Qilian City. Deputy Protector Chen Jiao was killed in battle, and there were seven or eight out of ten soldiers. I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to Qilian City to support him as soon as possible."
