The bottle in Gao Ren's hand was the wound medicine in the original warehouse of his army.

Because Wancheng was fighting, he took out the wound medicine of his Hanyang Army first, and then tried to make up for it on his own side.

Gao Ren glanced at Liu Xianlun, opened the medicine bottle and smelled it, then dug out a little bit and put it in the palm of his hand, grinded it, and tasted it a little with the tip of his tongue.

After tasting it, Gao Ren's face changed greatly: "Fake." ”

Liu Xianlun nodded: "Fake, the mixture must be male pork, but this is all kinds of inferior miscellaneous oils." Most of the rest of the medicinal herbs are also adulterated, and the amount is huge. Not only is the medicine here of the general, but the Zaoyang army has also found a lot of them in the warehouse, even the Xiangyang army. ”

Gao Ren understood, Liu Xianlun wanted to know who supplied these medicinal materials.

Gao Ren said: "According to the rules, the medical officers of the garrisons of each army are selected by the Tai Hospital, and the Tai Hospital will also send people to teach every year. The annual purchase of drugs is also found by the pharmaceutical merchants of the Third Department of Finance, and then verified by the Ministry of War, and then by the Tai Hospital, and finally checked by the military medical officers stationed in the state capitals and put into storage. ”

Liu Xianlun asked, "No way?" ”

Gao Ren shook his head: "No, I'm afraid that even the Ministry of War doesn't know whose medicinal materials are supplied by this family, maybe the Privy Council knows." All the medicines are sent down in the same bottle. ”

Liu Xianlun was silent.

Gao Ren waited for a while and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Liu Xianlun raised his head: "I originally thought so, this matter is too hateful, it just so happens that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are marching too slowly, and they only walk less than thirty miles every day, find out whose medicine is supplied by their family, and let the current four bandit leaders in Wancheng take people to kill him all over the door, forcing the imperial court to march quickly, this is about to be winter, Wancheng army cotton clothes are still not enough, and they can't fight in the ice and snow, I am afraid that the number of non-war casualties will increase greatly at that time." ”

Forcing Yang Cishan to march is a method.

But Gao Ren really didn't know.

He was also angry.

As an important border town, even the wound medicine in the army is fake, and when the time comes, after the soldiers are injured, they dare not think about it, they dare not think about it.

Liu Xianlun sighed: "Report this matter to the lord, I am afraid that this is also a shocking case, it is estimated that there are hundreds of officials involved, and it is possible to kill half of them in the hospital." It's just that even if this matter sets off a big case in the court, it doesn't have much significance, and our wound medicine will have a new one by March next year. ”

Gao Ren thought for a while: "Knowing the affairs of the Ezhou Mansion, Wang Heishou is extremely greedy, I see if I can use a little trick to make him embarrassed Yang Cishan, so that the army of the imperial court does not have winter clothes to wear on snowy days, then he will choose to fight quickly." ”

Liu Xianlun shook his head: "The general doesn't have to participate, Wang ...... What is he calling the king? ”

"Wang Heqiang."

"Yes, King Black Hand." Liu Xianlun was stunned for a moment, and he also laughed: "He is Li Dao's person, he tries his best to make money, and the general will use nothing for it, he will also embarrass Yang Cishan." It really didn't work, so they used backup tactics, and the Wancheng army went south to attack the Zaoyang army, many people in the Zaoyang army were killed in battle, and Zaoyang was lost. The general sent troops to recapture Zaoyang. ”

Gao Ren shook his head: "No, it's not good. In case Yang Cishan is scared away, Zaoyang stays in Wancheng's hands, and there are too many disadvantages. Please go back and discuss this matter with Meng Lin again, getting Zaoyang is equivalent to controlling the Yangtze River waterway, and the next thing is bound to be a death war, and the court will not dare to cut off the Yangtze River waterway. ”

Liu Xianlun said: "This is exactly what General Meng meant. ”

Gao Ren still disagreed: "He was right, but he didn't know the imperial court too well, the imperial court would not let my Hanyang army send troops, and the next step must be the sailor division, in case it is not the Pingjiang Mansion or the Jiankang Mansion Sailor, but the Lin'an Sailor Division." Once the troops are dispatched, there will be only bloody battles next, and the dead are all their own brothers. ”

Lin'an Sailor is just a commonly used title, and the professional point is the Imperial Camp Front Sailor.

A naval division unit that belongs entirely to the forbidden army, this unit is well-equipped, and it can definitely fight a war, but the real role is to escape.

The alternate escape water division is the Shaoxing Fu Water Division.

Liu Xianlun understands Gao Ren, after staying here in the Hanyang Army for a long time, people will become very cautious, calculate everything very carefully, and will never choose the tactics of betting on probability.

Liu Xianlun arched: "Then I want to leave immediately, go up the river to Xiangyang, Zhao Zhuan Envoy and General Zhao, as well as General Zhai and General Meng are all in Xiangyang at this time, I want to hurry up and discuss the way to deal with it." ”

Gao Ren knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't leave Liu Xianlun behind: "Okay, I'll send someone to send Mr. to the dock secretly." ”

Liu Xianlun shook his head: "Please prepare a horse for me." ”

"Okay."

From Ezhou to Xiangyang, it is about 600 miles on land, and about 730 miles on the waterway, and it is very comfortable to take a boat on the waterway, but the waterway is upstream, and the speed will be very slow. On land, although Liu Xianlun was a scribe, he was confident that he would arrive in Xiangyang within three days.

As soon as Liu Xianlun was sent away, a deputy general came to Gao Ren's side: "General, Wang Heishou sent someone to urge, he said that he set up a banquet, and it is not good that the general has not arrived." ”

Gao Ren asked: "Is he feasting Yang Cishan, or Su Shidan?" ”

The deputy general thought for a while: "Judging from the seat, Yang Cishan is in front, and Su Shidan is in the second. ”

Gao Ren squinted his eyes: "That's not right. ”

The adjutant general also said: "It's really wrong, but it can also be explained, the main general sits in the guest chief, and the second seat of the supervising army is also in order." But Su Shidan is one of the three major people of the Han Mansion and a civil official. Yang Cishan received the rank of military attaché, even if he was three points lower than the same grade, unless Su Shidan took the initiative to sit in the second seat. ”

Gao Ren instructed: "Change your clothes, go and have a look, tell the people who go with you, and talk less." ”

"Yes."

Banquet hall.

When Gao Ren arrived, the banquet had already begun for half an hour.

But the main course hasn't been served yet.

Gao Ren knew that it was impossible to skip the main course because he was waiting for himself, and there must be something wrong with this banquet tonight.

Of course there is.

The first few generals told Gao Ren in a low voice: "Commander, the position was already like this when we came, Su Shidan sat there, and he didn't even touch his chopsticks or touch his wine glass." ”

Gao Ren motioned to his people not to make a sound, and watch the play today.

It's a good show, it's about to begin.

Yang Cishan.

A small person born in a mountain village in Yanzhou, his biggest reliance is a distant relative, the nominal sister-in-law Yang Guizhi, and of course, there is a sister-in-law Yang Lianzhi who he thinks is very favored in the palace.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yang Cishan stood up and held the wine glass in both hands: "This cup is dedicated to the prefect of the king." ”

Wang Heqiang almost laughed.

Understand the rules, understand the etiquette.

This is from that ravine.

When the banquet is officially held, only the host can speak first.

At this time, as the prefect of Ezhou, he is a civil official, and he is the person with the biggest face here. If he didn't open his mouth, then according to the rules, Gao Ren, the capital of the Hanyang Army, held a banquet.
