In later generations, Li Yuanqing has been operating and immersing himself in the medicinal herb business for more than ten years, and his common sense and knowledge of medicine are much higher than ordinary people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the beginning, the first pot of gold that Li Yuanqing dug up relied on the enhanced version of the Liuwei Dihuang Pill to open up Qu Minqiu's door.
At this time, after such a long period of 'in-depth' exploration and 'in-depth' research at negative distance, Li Yuanqing had already understood Liu Qiao's body very well.
Perhaps because of the hardships and talents, Liu Qiao's physique is very good.
It's even better than Shu Murong, who is full of delicate and wild nature.
Especially her waist and abdominal strength, Li Yuanqing really likes it very much.
But the reason why she is infertile, Li Yuanqing speculates, eighty percent, may be because of Gong Han.
Moreover, her previous living conditions were too poor, coupled with her mental strength, which made her physically weak, especially psychologically, I am afraid that there is also a lot of pressure.
In the past, even if Li Yuanqing saved Liu Qiao's life, to a large extent, he just regarded her as a 'doll' and used it when he thought about it, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
But the human heart is made of flesh.
After so many days of Liu Qiao's careful service, Li Yuanqing already had a deep affection for her, and naturally he would no longer ignore Liu Qiao's question.
In later generations, the problem of Gong Han is still widespread for women, and the solution is mainly based on recuperation.
At this time, Liu Qiao followed Li Yuanqing, although she was on an expedition and the conditions were bad, she ate well, lived well, and did not have any hard work, and the conditions were not the same as before.
Even if she is on Changsheng Island, she is just a maid, and her conditions cannot be compared with being by Li Yuanqing's side now.
At this time, although there is no traditional Chinese medicine in this area, as the saying goes, 'medicine is not as good as food'.
Now the camp of the Ming army is backed by the mountains, the old forests are dense, and the material reserves are abundant, in terms of meat alone, mutton has an excellent tonic effect on the human body, especially in this cold winter.
Of course, the best tonic is to recommend black chicken with ginseng.
It's a pity that black chickens can't be obtained here, but there are many wild pheasants in the old forest, and ginseng is not a rare thing, although the effect is worse, but the nourishing effect on women is quite considerable.
For his woman, of course, Li Yuanqing will not be stingy.
It's just that the storm is too terrifying at this time, and if you want to go to the old forest to pick ginseng and hunt pheasants, you still need to wait for some time.
…………
This endless storm lasted for more than ten days, and only after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month did it stop slightly.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, Li Yuanqing came to Nanchengtou to observe the situation in the Houjin camp opposite.
At this time, although the storm has stopped, the sky is still sprinkled with fine pieces of snow, and the whole world is full of vastness.
The snow on the ground is much thicker than before, and I am afraid that it will have to be at least a few tens of centimeters.
The remnants left by the previous attack on the city by the Du Du Department have also turned into ice sculptures at this time, all covered in white, and they are no longer visible.
In the Houjin camp in the distance, the smoke of the cooking stove was rising high, but except for the dozen or so corner towers in front, it was difficult to see other figures in the four places.
In the distance of about two and a half miles from the small town of the Ming army to the Houjin camp, there was a vast expanse everywhere, and there was not even a sentry horseman's footprints.
The camps on both sides seem to be not here for war, but for sightseeing.
These days, Kong Youde and Shunzi have been sticking to this side.
Since they were located to the south, they had many fortifications and were less affected by the storm, except that a few soldiers were frostbitten, but it was not too much of a problem.
"Hey, hey. General, Tartar has a lot to suffer these days. Their camp was too far in the middle, with the Great Lake to the east. Even if you cut down trees, you have to run for miles. Meanly, these days, these dogs and Tartars have frozen to death a thousand people, which is all underspoken. ”
Kong Youde smiled and reported the situation to Li Yuanqing.
Shunzi's spirit is also excellent, and he said with a smile: "General, I guess Brother Kong may still be too pessimistic." For more than ten days, we could see their minions coming back from the west to chop firewood every day, and each time dozens of people were carried back lying down. I reckon they should have froze to death at least 2,000 people, maybe more. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded.
In such bad weather, it is inevitable that some people will freeze to death.
However, according to the military system of the Later Jin, even if a person freezes to death, it will never hurt its core, at most it is some miscellaneous servants of various ministries who will die of it, that is, some people in armor.
As for the real slaves, they are all guarded by minions, and I am afraid that they will not be able to cause much damage to them.
But the death of the Tartars, whether it was a thousand or two thousand, was extremely good news for the Ming army.
But the storm has stopped, and Li Yuanqing will never dare to slack off the main force of Houjin, "Xiao Kong, Shunzi, you have worked hard these days. But the real war is only just beginning, and you must not be careless for a moment. From today onwards, I will come to the city two or three times a day to inspect the city, and you must be fully prepared. ”
"Yes!" The two hurriedly knelt on one knee and kowtowed.
Li Yuanqing kicked Shunzi, "You kid give me your spiritual strength to use in the right place!" Cheer up, did you hear that? ”
Although Shunzi was not promoted to the chief officer of the first army, his bloodline is here, and he is Xu Heizi's main assistant.
But this kid seems to be a bit of a tail-cocking posture lately, and Li Yuanqing has to give him a wake-up call.
"Brother......
Junzi screamed, a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to resist Li Yuanqing's might, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Li Yuanqing smiled and pulled him up hard, "Don't pose like a bear for Lao Tzu." In the evening, you and Xiao Kong will go to my tent for dinner. ”
Junzi couldn't help but be overjoyed in an instant, as if he had suddenly resurrected with full blood on the spot, and hurriedly said: "General, don't worry, even if a mosquito flies out of the Tartar camp, it will never escape the eyes of the lowly position." ”
Kong Youde was also overjoyed, hehe smiled, patted his chest and promised, "The general is at ease!" The humble post will never dare to live up to the high expectations of the general! ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Okay!" You two boys, get down to business! Feel free to report to me any trouble! ”
"Yes!"
…………
After leaving the city, Li Yuanqing went to inspect various places in the city.
At this time, in such a state, the Houjin Tartars are not the biggest enemy, for Li Yuanqing and his sons, how to overcome and overcome this harsh climatic conditions is their most important task.
Even though there are a lot of materials in the city, there is still no slackness in all aspects, especially the collection of firewood, which is the top priority.
According to Li Yuanqing's strength at this time, although he can confront the main force of Houjin, it is still a little unrealistic to take the initiative to attack.
Li Yuanqing deeply understood that in such bad weather, the Houjin Tartars would never endure it for too long, and their offensive would definitely come soon.
Li Yuanqing must make full preparations before the offensive arrives.
Outside the north gate, it has been turned into a large construction site.
The mules and horses were pulled out, and simple carts were pulled, bringing wood and firewood from the old woods to the north.
Affected by the storm, the cutting and collection of timber and firewood in the past ten days have been greatly affected.
Shu Luohuan and the minions of the tribe did not dare to cut down trees in the snow, so they could only pick up some dead branches and leaves around the trees to barely survive.
In the past ten days, most of the wood and firewood reserves in the city have been consumed, and it is urgent to resume operation here.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the construction of the city, Li Yuanqing and Xu Heizi took this problem into account, and the distance between the north gate, the west gate and the old forest behind them was very close, only a few hundred steps.
At this time, although a large area of old forest has been cut down, it will not exceed the distance of 2 or 3 miles, and there is not much trouble.
Hounds are scattered all around, and eagles hover in the sky.
At the head of the city, the Huangguo Mountain Department is also in full swing.
Li Yuanqing was not afraid, and Houjin dared to sneak attack from here.
Not to mention that they want to avoid the sight of the Ming army outside the south gate, just such terrain conditions, even tigers and beasts are difficult to shuttle freely.
Li Yuanqing would not forget his promise, and specially instructed Shu Luohuan to send a few clever minions to the mountains to pick some ginseng and hunt a few pheasants.
For Li Yuanqing's orders, how dare Shu Luohuan slack? Hurriedly ordered a few relatives to follow the slaves to do it, patted his chest and assured Li Yuanqing, "Master, don't worry, these slaves under the command of the slaves are all good at hunting and picking ginseng, and in less than a day, there will definitely be good news coming over." ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, these armor-clad minions under Shu Luohuan have really helped a lot these days.
"Brother Luo Huan, who understands my Li Yuanqing's loyalty, I know it in my heart! Do a good job. When the Tartars are defeated, I will have a great reward! ”
Shu Luohuan had no doubts about Li Yuanqing's strength at this time, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to flatter: "The slave must do her best for the master, and then die." ”
…………
Even though the situation is very good, Li Yuanqing still insists on doing it himself on many key matters, and he will not directly affect the direct work of the commanders and generals of the various ministries, but he will directly clarify the main tasks of the various ministries and conduct random inspections at any time to ensure that all work in the city is on a stable and correct track.
In a flash, another dozen days passed.
It's early February.
These days, Houjin has not been in a hurry to launch an offensive, and there are very few sentinels.
But Li Yuanqing knew that Dai Shan and these people would never sit idly by, and a more violent and huge storm was not far off.
Liu Qiao has been nourished by the pheasant and wild ginseng soup for these days, and his pretty face has become more and more shiny, and his mental state has improved a lot.
Shu Murong was also stained with Liu Qiao's light, and her whole body exuded the alluring youthful atmosphere and charm of a girl.
On the second day of the second month of the first year of the Great Tomorrow's Apocalypse, Li Yuanqing had just had breakfast and was about to go to the city to inspect the situation, but at this time, a personal soldier came to report urgently, "General, there is an emergency at the south gate, and it seems that reinforcements from Houjin have rushed over." ”
