Liu Shen summoned the commander of the military medical department and the medical officers for questioning.

He said, "Tell me the truth, how much time does he have left?" ”

Commander Liu replied: "If the general gives up all his work and recuperates in peace, he may be able to hold out for two or three years." But if you are tired and exhausted as you are now, you probably won't see next winter. ”

Liu Shen was shocked: "What? Only a year and a half? ”

Commander Liu replied, "This is the best-case scenario. Worst of all, at any time. ”

Liu Shen closed his eyes.

He said, "No." No. I'm going to save him. I will find the best doctor in the country. The world is so big, doesn't anyone have the art to return to heaven? ”

Liu Shen said emotionally: "Can you just watch and be helpless?" ”

There was silence on the left and right.

Commander Liu said cautiously: "Enlighten the King of Han, and the King of Han forgives his sins." A doctor can only cure the disease, not death. The best efforts of the ministers may alleviate the final pain of the general. ”

Liu Shen sat in front of your sickbed with a heavy heart.

He asked with concern, "General, do you feel better now?" ”

You said weakly: "The king of Han traveled thousands of miles to visit the enemy, and the emotion in the hearts of the ministers is beyond words. The difficulties have passed, and there should be no major problems. Please be relieved. It's just that the tired king is running around and wading into dangers, delaying state affairs, and worrying about his ministers day and night, and the ministers are very panicked and uneasy. ”

Liu Shen felt a sour feeling in his heart when he heard this. He sighed and said, "Alas, between you and me, between kings and ministers, between brothers, and between friends, at this time, don't say these polite words anymore. I'm really sad in my heart. ”

You say, "Now, the king of Han knows everything." ”

Liu Shen said sadly: "Yes." I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

You said, "Please forgive the king of Han for not telling the truth in the morning." At that time, the relationship between the minister and the king of Han was still shallow, and the minister was afraid that the king of Han knew that the minister's days were numbered, so he could not trust the minister's ability, and refused to enter into a life-and-death alliance with the minister, and the minister would have no chance and no time to do so many things now. Please forgive the king of Han for the sin of concealment and non-disclosure. ”

Liu Shen shook his head. He said, "No." No. The general did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for the country, suffered from an incurable disease, and fought bravely for the peace of the world. What a crime the great general! I'm sorry. How could I have been so stupid to find out sooner! Let the general go through so much hardship when he is sick. He sincerely blamed himself.

Liu Shen said: "No. You can't stay on the front lines anymore, and you can't take part in any more fighting. You must leave the war immediately and follow me back to Yunzhou to recuperate. I'll find you the quietest place, the best doctor. You don't have to worry about all these things out there. You have done a lot for the country. From now on, you'll have only one task: rest and recuperate. ”

You shake your head. You say, "King Han." Now that the war between the north and the south is going to a critical time, if we go all out and advance bravely, the general trend of the world can be determined, and the reunification of peace can be expected. At this time, please ask the king of Han to forgive his ministers not to leave the war and go elsewhere to recuperate. ”

You say, "What good is it for a useless patient to live for a year or two?" How can it help the country? Minister, I hope that every day of my life can help King Han, and I can make the day when the world will be peaceful. If you can't live like this, as far as the minister is concerned, even if he lives for a hundred years, he will still be alive and dead. The minister really didn't want to live like that. ”

You say: "If the minister lives for one day, he is willing to be the sword of the king of Han for one day, and even if he dies, he is willing to die on the road of overcoming obstacles for the king of Han and the new Taiping dynasty." ”

You say, "King Xie Han understands the hearts of his ministers and asks King Han to fulfill the wishes of his ministers." ”

Liu Shen lowered his head. He felt heartfelt sadness. He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak for a long time.

You look at Liu Shen.

You say: "It is the greatest honor and the deepest comfort of the minister to be able to use this mortal life for the world and the king of Han in exchange for a peaceful era." ”

You say, "I hope that Heaven will give you a little more time to fulfill this wish." ”

Liu Shen holds your hand. He holds your hand tightly.

He said, "General, God will definitely help you." I'll help you too. Just as you have devoted your life to relieving the pain of war for the country, Liu Shen will also devote the strength of the whole country to help you defeat the pain of disease and fulfill your wish. We are an alliance of life and death on every battlefield, and we all support and assist each other. ”

Liu Shen summoned the medical officers to discuss in the military tent.

He said: "How much painkiller is left for this life-saving time?" ”

The military doctor returned: "It can be used more than ten times." ”

Liu Shen said: "Okay. And they all stayed for him for emergencies first. I will also send someone to the Western Regions to find it. No matter what the price, it will be found for him. Tell Sun Haocheng and let him continue to look for it, and if there is any difficulty in obtaining it after finding it, you can play it directly I know. ”

Liu Shen said: "I remember that in the treasury of my father's hospital, there were some benzoin incense that was paid tribute to the Western Regions back then, which was also a treasure for calming the nerves and relieving pain. It was also used by my father when he was dying. All of these drug stores were allocated to the Military Medical Department. Use it as you please, so that you may relieve his pain and let him rest well. ”

Liu Shen instructed again: "The general's illness, you must keep it strictly confidential, and say that it is an ordinary head disease to the outside world, although it is painful, but it is a chronic disease that does not matter. No leakage of information is allowed, and no information is allowed to be known to the enemy army. ”

Yang Biao hurriedly walked into Liu Shen's big tent.

He knelt down and said, "See King Han." ”

Liu Shen said, "Get up." Any idea why you were called? ”

Yang Biao guessed: "It must be about the general's illness, right?" ”

Liu Shen nodded: "Exactly." The doctor said that he only had a year and a half at most, and at worst, he would be at any time. Others don't know about it, you have to know. Be ready to take command of the whole army from him at any time. ”

Yang Biao was deeply shocked by the conclusion of "one and a half years".

He muttered, "Does the general himself know?" ”

Liu Shen said: "He already knew. He already knew it before he went to Wangyuan Pass to relieve you of the siege. He went to Wangyuanguan to rescue you, so that in the future, someone could replace him. ”

Liu Shen said: "Looking back now, he has already thought about everything, and then he has done it step by step. ”

Liu Shen said: "When he is in better spirits, you can also go and see him." Let's talk about it individually. This time, he saved your life again. You should have thanked him. ”

Liu Shen instructed the chamberlain: "Send the letter back to Yunzhou, one to Wei Guoqing, one to Xu Zaitian, and one to Mother and Qin'er, saying that I have something to deal with and need to go back a few days later." Let them not worry. ”

Liu Shen decided to stay here until you were out of danger.

(f)

Yang Biao sits in front of your sickbed. You are alone against each other.

You say, "You're back." ”

Yang Biao said ashamedly: "I'm ashamed to mark it." The general repeatedly instructed us to be careful everywhere, but we were still careless and underestimated the enemy, and almost made a big mistake and dragged down the whole army. If it weren't for the general sending Wu Shun Pegasus to stop it, I am afraid that Biao Xia would be in Huangquan by now. ”

You say, "The battlefield is dangerous, there are a lot of problems, and when you can't worry about it, everyone will have it." ”

Yang Biao was moved: "Mark, thank you for the general's life-saving grace." ”

You say, "The rescue is all mutual. If it weren't for the supplies you funded at Wangyuan Pass, I wouldn't have been able to travel thousands of miles and come back safely. ”

You say, "The King of Han has talked to you." ”

Yang Biao said: "Yes. When he heard the bad news, he was very saddened. ”

Say, "Don't grieve like this." For soldiers, life and death in an instant are ordinary things. ”

Yang Biao said: "Having said that, I still feel very heavy in my heart. The general is the general he admires the most in his life. During the days of following the general, I learned a lot. I couldn't bear it, so I parted with the general abruptly. ”

You say, "As a soldier, you have to get used to it, and say goodbye to everything at any time." ”

(g)

You and Yang Biao continue to talk individually.

"Yang Biao has something unknown, I don't know if I can ask the general?"

"What's the matter?"

"The Great General is hundreds of miles away from the Whigs, how do I know that he will set a trap for me when I surrender? When Wu Shun set off, our battle should not be over. We didn't know if the Whigs would die or surrender. ”

"For he set the trap for me. What he wanted to catch was me. He didn't expect me to fall ill halfway through and not be able to reach the battlefield. Because he was thinking about me, I could perceive it. ”

You say: "In war, as commanders, we have to always stand inside the enemy and think about how they will react and how they will respond to our attacks. In war, we must not only be ourselves, but also our enemies. When we are able to constantly stand inside the enemy and think about problems, the thoughts of the enemy will automatically come to our minds. ”

Yang Biao asked: "Ask the general, what is the reason for Yang Biao's negligence in this battle?" ”

You say, "The reason is that you want to win." ”

You say, "You see, the lake in the distance can only reflect all things in heaven and earth, because it does not deliberately reflect anything." Because it is unintentional, it is all about it. It's the same with war. The most difficult thing in a war is not to defeat the enemy, but to overcome one's own desire to win. ”

Say, "Anytime we want to win, we will set a trap for the enemy." For all good generals, the desire to win is the most dangerous enemy. ”

Yang Biao looks at you. He said: "Since the general can know the enemy's thoughts, he must also know Yang Biao's thoughts, so the general knows how things will develop and end." All of Yang Biao's thoughts, like the enemy's thoughts, are equally transparent to the general, right? ”

You say, "All the thoughts of all the people were originally transparent. God knows and knows each other's hearts. ”

You look at Yang Biao. You say, "Don't you see clearly what is on my mind at this moment?" ”

Yang Biao said: "The general still has regrets, feeling that Yang Biao is still flawed, and he can't completely replace the general's role in the country's social society, right?" ”

Yang Biao said: "If you ask the general for advice, where should you make up for this defect, so that the general can rest assured?" ”

You look at Yang Biao.

You say, "There's no hurry." We will talk about this matter later. ”
