Yin Zhen realized this, so he asked all the soldiers to be gathered together overnight, endured the stuffiness in his chest, and said loudly: "I know that you are very sad in your hearts, and I know that you are very frustrated, you feel that you have finally won two battles by hurting others and yourself, and now you are back to your original form all at once." At the same time, we are wondering if we have already lost, or if we have lost! ”

"I still say the same thing at the beginning, I will not say those empty words to you, there must be losses and wins in wars, but until the last moment, no one knows who will win. You've only seen us dead, but have you ever thought about why Junggar, who was clearly in possession of his injuries, would use the same methods that hurt others and ourselves as we did before to set up an ambush and bombardment? This sentence really aroused the curiosity of countless soldiers, and they all looked at Yinzhen, waiting for him to answer.

Yin Zhen felt that his chest was getting more and more uncomfortable, and even had a feeling of being out of breath, but at this time, he must persevere, finish speaking, and after pinching himself hard, Yin Zhen said: "Because they panicked, after the grain and grass were burned and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, they panicked and feared, afraid that they would lose this battle, and they were even more afraid of us, so they used such extraordinary means." Maybe this time, they really won, but they didn't think about what price they paid for this so-called win. ”

"I'm sure they didn't tell those people that they would be killed by their own people for this sneak attack, but we have survivors, and they do, and those who set fire to their cannons, and they will know how many people died under their guns, and the entire Dzungar army will know that they will be angry and afraid. Because they have never faced the battle with the determination to fight without fear of death like we have. From the very beginning, they thought that in order to win, they would attack the capital lightly, and they never thought that they would use such a method to defeat the enemy by hurting others. So, this is a certain victory for them, and the final victory will be ours. ”

Yin Zhen ended his words, perhaps, the effect of this encouragement was not as good as before, but it undoubtedly soothed the hearts of many people, so that they could overcome their fears and face the enemy with the best posture.

And after saying this, Yinzhen whispered to Ling Ruo, who had been by his side: "Ruo'er, help me go back to the camp." ”

Ling Ruo was a little surprised, because Yin Zhen would never say such a thing except that he was seriously ill and couldn't walk. However, after she helped Yinzhen into the camp, Yinzhen immediately fell to the ground, looking miserable, and her forehead was full of cold sweat.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! After Ling Ruo called a few times, he forced himself to calm down, ran out of the camp tent and asked Suo Li to hurry up and ask the imperial doctor who accompanied the army to come over, and then returned to the tent and helped Yinzhen to the bed with difficulty, and said nervously: "Your Majesty, bear with me, the imperial doctor will be here soon." ”

Yin Zhen was uncomfortable and speechless, so he could only nod slightly, indicating that he heard Ling Ruo's words.

After a short time, Sori rushed in with the imperial doctor, and after treating Yinzhen, he applied needles and prescribed medicine, which relieved Yinzhen's chest tightness a little, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

Taking advantage of Yinzhen's sleep, Ling Ruo said, "Imperial Doctor, why did the emperor suddenly look like this?" ”

The imperial doctor sighed and said: "The emperor's health has always been bad, this time it will be like this suddenly, presumably because he has been too tired recently, Weichen's medicine and silver needles can only relieve the fatigue of the emperor's body, but after all, it is only a symptom, or pay more attention to rest, otherwise such a situation will happen again at any time." ”

Ling Ruo nodded and said, "This palace knows, it's too hard to be a doctor, and ...... I also asked the Imperial Doctor not to talk to anyone about this matter for the time being. ”

After sending the Imperial Doctor away, Ling Ruo sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Yinzhen quietly. still remembers that the first time she looked at the sleeping Yinzhen so carefully was in the forty-third year of Kangxi, when Yinzhen was sad and drunk because of Nalan Mei'er's marriage to Aqina.

Fingers slowly stroked Yinzhen's face, in a blink of an eye, thirty-one years have passed, Yinzhen is old, and she is no longer young, and they have experienced many ups and downs between each other. I don't remember how many times, she stayed by Yinzhen's side like this, waiting for him to wake up, but while waiting, she was also afraid, afraid that Yinzhen would not wake up again, afraid that he would suddenly leave her.

"What are you thinking?" I don't know when, Yinzhen woke up and was looking at her.

Ling Ruo came back to his senses and quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, the concubine went to see if the medicine was decoctioned." ”

Yin Zhen grabbed her with difficulty and said, "Look at you, the tears are coming out, and you say it's okay, what's wrong?" ”

Ling Ruoyi touched his cheeks, and sure enough, he found that there were traces of wetness, and after wiping them away, he said, "The emperor was obviously unwell just now, why didn't he say it earlier?" ”

"In the middle of what I said just now, if I suddenly stopped, or let the soldiers know that something was wrong with my body, then what I said before would be wasted." Without waiting for Ling Ruo to speak, he had already shook Ling Ruo's hands and said, "I know what you want to say, saying that I don't care for my body, but Ruo'er, I can't afford to lose, and the person who really can't afford to lose has always been me." ”

Ling Ruo didn't say anything more, just nodded and brought the decoctioned medicine in, and after serving Yinzhen to drink it, he said: "The concubine has asked the imperial doctor not to say anything about this matter, as for Sori, he has always been tight-mouthed, even if the concubine doesn't say it, he won't talk to anyone, the emperor can rest assured." However, the emperor has to do his best to get better, otherwise the soldiers will always be suspicious if they don't see the emperor. ”

"I know." After a pause, he suddenly said: "It's time for the New Year in a while, but looking at it like this, I and you may not be able to go back to the palace in time to celebrate the New Year, do you feel sorry?" ”

Ling Ruo tried his best to make himself look more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with spending the New Year outside, and it also saves the concubine the effort of running the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet." Speaking of which, the concubine has grown so big and has never spent the New Year in the barracks, but she feels very fresh. ”

Yin Chen smiled and said, "When Shun followed Huang Ama on the expedition before, there was a time when everything in the barracks was simple, especially when there was a war, a bowl of dumplings was even a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and if you were lucky, you could drink a sip of wine." Speaking of this, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he muttered: "I don't know how many people will be able to eat this bowl of dumplings at that time." In just one day, we have lost nearly 30,000. ”

Ling Ruo was relieved: "What has happened, it is useless for the emperor to think about it, it is better to think about how to avoid losses in future battles." ”

Yinzhen nodded and stopped talking about this overly heavy topic.
