Chapter 50: Sacrificing Yourself as Bait

Rinse two handfuls of raw silk in water, scoop it up, wring it out, and reapply it to Qiu Linyue's head. Zhao Yong sat down on the edge of the couch, looking at Qiu Linyue's face was still pale, and the temperature on her forehead was still high, so she tucked the quilt for her, so that the cold wind would not take advantage of it.

She was wearing only a single garment, and when the doctor tried to check the wound for her, the wound had already scabbed and adhered to her clothes, and even when she was unconscious, the touch would make her frown. She struggled, obviously not something that the table card could control, so Zhao Yong could only hold her in his arms, let the ulcer doctor soak through her clothes, uncover the adherent wounds little by little, and then clean the wound and apply the medicine. When cleaning the wound, Qiu Linyue kept breaking free from Zhao Yong in pain, Zhao Yong had to hold her tightly, her graceful figure and the furrow on her chest once made Zhao Yong's heart ape, and Qiu Linyue's painful gasp hit his shoulder, but it seemed to be teasing him. Two days have passed, and she still hasn't woken up, but the doctor said that if she changes the medicine twice, she should be fine.

The so-called ulcer doctor is understood by Zhao Yong as a surgeon. Doctors in this era are divided into four types: "food doctor", "disease doctor", "ulcer doctor" and "veterinarian", and the food doctor is responsible for the diet of the Son of Heaven, which is equivalent to a dietitian; The disease doctor is responsible for the diseases caused by the imbalance of qi, which is equivalent to an internal medicine doctor; The ulcer doctor is responsible for applying medicine to patients with swollen ulcers, ulcers, golden ulcers and broken ulcers, which is equivalent to a surgeon; And a veterinarian, as the name suggests, is a doctor who treats animal diseases. Bian Que is now in Zhao State, and he is a veritable chief physician, and the disciples who sit down are also countless masters. Although Zhao Yong often felt that it was too selfish to leave the ancestor of traditional Chinese medicine in Handan, he had to do so out of his fear of death. For example, this time, if it weren't for Bian Que's medical skills, I'm afraid that relying on the medical conditions of this era, Qiu Linyue would have been able to declare dead.

He gently brushed aside the hair in front of Qiu Linyue's forehead, and the Hun Juci, who was fighting against the disease, didn't know what he dreamed of, his brows were furrowed tightly, his teeth were clenched, and when he took the decoction, Zhao Yong slowly poured it into his mouth. I'm afraid even he doesn't know when he started to care about this woman, maybe just because he cares about her stubbornness.

He stretched out his warm fingers, put them between her eyebrows, and gently brushed her eyebrows, at first, her eyebrows were as stubborn as hers, and slowly, when they accepted the warmth of Zhao Yong's fingertips, they finally melted. But for some reason, two lines of tears flowed out of her eyes. Zhao Yong thought she had woken up, and called softly twice, but before she could react, she felt that it might be a natural reaction.

How could Zhao Yong not know what she was thinking? It's just that there are some things that are always very difficult to decide.

Yesterday night, Zhao Jun was in the tent.

Zhao Yong was pacing in front of the sand table, and Niu Jian and a few people were standing not far from him, their eyes were full of hope and a little worried. Ling Huye watched from the wall, watching the changes in the eyes of the monarch and the minister, showing that the county was very calm. At this time, it is indeed not suitable to speak by yourself.

"Lone Command." Zhao Yong finally walked to the sand table as if he had made up his mind, looked at the generals and said.

"The last general commands." The crowd responded in unison.

Zhao Yong walked to the sand table, all the information he wanted was on the sand table, he closed his eyes, and then took a deep breath. The next order will be the first battle arrangement in his previous life and this life, this plan completely planned by him and detailed by Niu Jian will completely distinguish him from his past self.

Welcome to Hell.

"General Linghuye. You are ordered to lead 5,000 cavalry from Lin Hu to cross the river from the clouds to Yangshan Gaoque, occupy this place within 15 days and stay here with 2,000 men, and on the 20th day, lead the remaining 3,000 men to camp in Xishanzui to block the possibility of Lou Yuan's westward escape. Speaking of this, Zhao Yong paused, "If there are reinforcements from Wuyuan City rushing to the aid of Jiuyuan, you must annihilate them." ”

Now, Lou Yuan gathered the main force of Lou Fu in Jiuyuan City, one is to observe the movements of the Zhao army at close range, and the second is that Jiuyuan belongs to the important farming area of Lou Fu, Lou Fu is a half-agricultural and half-pastoral tribe, Jiuyuan Yunzhong has gathered most of the cultivated land, and the grain storage is rich, not to mention that Jiuyuan City is more stable than Yunzhong and Wuyuan, and the city wall built by Wei is the foundation, although it is not as good as the city of the Central Plains, but it can barely be regarded as the first city of the grassland.

The reason why Linghuye was chosen, in addition to employing people, another reason was that Yangshan Gaoque was far away from the cultivation area, even if Linghuye Yang Fengyin violated, it would not affect Zhao Jun's battle plan for Jiuyuan, so he simply boldly showed his sincerity. He rejected Niu Qian's decision to propose that Li Zhuo and Ling Huye jointly attack Yangshan Gaoque. In Ling Huye's opinion, Zhao Yong's trust is enough for him to spend his life loyal. "If you can't complete the king's order, Xiao Wang and five thousand Linhu warriors will come to see you."

"Lone doesn't want your head, after completing the task, the place of Wuyuan will be handed over to you and your tribe, as long as the Huns are not allowed to enter Yinshan, Lone and you will agree on a generational alliance." This is the result of Zhao Yong's careful consideration, instead of spending money to send troops to garrison, it is better to let the Lin Hu people live there, not to mention that the grain production there is extremely low, and in the end they will still rely on the Zhao people. Let them go against the Huns, which is also the best way that Zhao Guo can think of in his current stretched finances.

"Xiao Wang takes the order."

"Xu Yuan, you led five thousand cavalry, set off from Yuanyang, and three days later, bypassed Daqing Mountain and went straight to Guyang and Yin Mountain. And on the 10th day, he controlled the channel between Guyang and Jiuyuan. Zhao Yong said, pointing to the sand table and said, "Enter the vicinity of Guyang and set up an ambush in Kongdao, once the army attacks Jiuyuan, immediately surround Guyang." and captured the Yinshan Gaoque garrison. Lone means that the division of Lou Yuan's north run must be blocked on this hole. ”

"The last general commands." Xu Yuan replied expectantly.

"Although you have 5,000 people, it is not easy to occupy the Yinshan Gaoque, surround the Yang, and set up an ambush in the Kongdao, but in order to complete the purpose of attracting Lou Fu to the decisive battle, you have to sacrifice you. Lone didn't want to see Lou Yuan flee to the Huns! ”

"Obey your military orders."

"Li Zhuo listens to orders."

"The end will be." Li Zhuo came out in response.

"Two thousand cavalry Yu Ru, wandering between Yuanyang and Yunzhong, blocking the road to the east of Lou Annoying to ensure the safety of Yuanyang City."

"Yes."

"General Niu Qian."

"The old minister is here."

"Except for the two thousand troops left in the clouds, the rest of the troops are led by you, moving along the line of the Nanhe River, feintting to attack the large and small cities on the periphery of Jiuyuan, and wandering in the south of Jiuyuan City.

This is Zhao Yong's arrangement, although it is not clever, but the purpose and goal are also very clear.

Today, Zhao Jun is entrenched in the clouds, and Lou Yuan is entrenched in Jiuyuan. Lou Annoying, who has seen the powerful Zhao army, may not be willing to fight against the cavalry of the Zhao army, and may defend Jiuyuan to the death. As just analyzed, Jiuyuan is the city with the best defense and the most grain storage here, once the building is annoying and makes up its mind to defend it, the Zhao army wants to attack it, and it takes a lot of effort. The main reason is that this place is not the Central Plains after all, and the siege equipment is relatively complete, and the Zhao army wants to build siege equipment, first, it is easy to be harassed by the opponent's cavalry, and second, it takes a long time and is inefficient, which is not the best policy.

Since this is the case, Zhao Yong simply scattered all the troops, creating the reality of emptiness in the clouds, and attracting Lou Yuan to send troops to attack the clouds. If Lou Yuan came to attack Yunzhong, Niu Jian could go north to occupy Jiuyuan; If Lou Yuan sticks to Jiuyuan City, when Niu Jian finishes cleaning up the cities near Jiuyuan, Zhao Jun can honestly build siege equipment to attack the city, at that time, it will be a desperate fight. And in the face of the empty Cloud City, Lou Yuan may come to gamble.

Judging from the whole situation, the most dangerous thing is actually Cloud City, if Niu Jian and Li Zhuo, who are wandering between Yuanyang and Yunzhong, can't come back to help, Zhao Yong's bait will face at least three times the enemy, relying on the small Cloud City, it will definitely not be able to hold it. This is also where Niu Jian and Lou Huan oppose the most, using Zhao Yong's life as bait is still too rash. But looking at all the gentlemen, they are all responsible characters, and whoever Zhao Yong follows is probably not safe, but this Cloud City is a temporary habitat.

"You know very well that the purpose of this battle is to attract Lou Yuan to lead the main force to attack Cloud City. Lone believes that as long as the Honghu flag of the Zhao family clan is still floating on the head of the city in the clouds, it will become the fat meat that Lou Yuan misses. Only with the efforts of all the kings can they no longer sacrifice their lives. After more than a month, Lone is waiting for you to triumph! ”

The candle flame crackled, interrupting Zhao Yong's thoughts, he came back to his senses a little, and then touched Qiu Linyue's forehead, it was still very hot, so he got up, went to wash the raw silk towel again, and put it on her. Zhuoka was tired from the bumps and fatigue of the road, and he was also injured and had difficulty walking. Zhao Yong was worried that it would not be appropriate for others to take care of Qiu Linyue, so he could only come in person. Without him, it is because of the two encounters and the two indulgences with her, this kind of fate can be regarded as a coincidence.

The coincidence of fate has always been elusive, just like him and Zhao Xian, it has never been a coincidence.

The news from Jinyang's side came, and this turmoil followed Zhao Shan's entry into the city, and the Lian Wu army besieged Jinyang, which had disappeared in the bud.

Zhao Xian, as the first offender, the whole family was wiped out, and he was in prison, he had not much time, so it was better to deal with it like this. Zhao Shan said that Zhao Xian's youngest son had been expelled from the house by Zhao Xian himself, and whether he wanted to be punished together was something that Zhao Yong did not expect. In addition, the handling of Zhao Ran and Zhao Yan and other accomplices is also on the agenda.

Before Zhao Yong could make a decision, two opinions came from Handan's side. One is Sikong Zhao Cheng, and the other is Sikou Feiyi.

The meaning of Feiyi is very clear, Zhao Xian's youngest son was wiped out together, Zhao Ran and Zhao Yan were accomplices, and the clan was wiped out together, in order to deter the small group and correct discipline; Zhao Cheng's meaning is just the opposite, Zhao Xian's youngest son is no longer a member of the Zhao clan, and he can be punished according to ordinary crimes, although Zhao Ran and Zhao Yan are not accomplices, but after all, the two stopped in time, and also cooperated with Zhao Shan to complete the arrest of Zhao Xian, Jinyang City also maintained stability, the merits and demerits are offset, and they can be demoted, and there is no need to exterminate the clan.

This is something that Fei Yi can't agree with, in his opinion, if Zhao Yong can't rectify the Zhao clan at this time, there will be endless troubles, and Zhao Cheng feels that after all, the clan is in favor of Zhao Yong, and Zhao Xian has already subdued the law, so why should he implicate others? The two have quarreled so much in Handan that Fei Yi will be scolded by the Zhao family when they meet, but fortunately, he is afraid that Fei Yi is a priest and has the right to be punished, so he does not dare to be too presumptuous. Even so, let Feiyi use this as a threat, saying that he was sick and didn't care about political affairs, and he didn't do it.

Such a situation also gave Zhao Yong a headache, in fact, since he knew about the Jinyang incident, he had been thinking about how to deal with this matter. If Zhao Xian and the others rebelled directly, he wouldn't have so much to worry about, and it would be good to punish the crime directly. However, the difficulty in this matter is that the other party did not follow his wishes, and his team took the lead in infighting, which made Zhao Yong have no excuse. And this incident also reminded himself that his army was outside, if he didn't handle it well, maybe it would be a Jinyang rebellion today, and it would become Handan another day, if this was the case, Zhao Yong would regret it too late.

He shook his head, stood up, walked to the desk, spread out a silk book, and wrote one by one: "Order Zhao Shan to guard the city of Jinyang and be responsible for everything in Jinyang; Zhao Ran and Zhao Yan are not the first evil, but their crimes have been accomplished, and they are almost inevitable. Therefore, when I think of my merits, I will first be put in Sikong Mansion for strict care, and after I return to Handan, I will deal with it......"
