Chapter 5: Surprise
After Liu Yan said this, he turned his head to look at Pei Shudong, and was about to give an order, but the person on the side said softly: "No." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Although his tone was extremely light, Liu Yan heard it very clearly, and looked at him with some doubts, and Uncle Pei asked quickly, "What's the matter?" ā
Chu Shenxia paused, and said very quickly: "Xingyang, let's go back and attack Xingyang." This place is relatively close to Xingyang, and their main force is not in the city, so it is not expected that we will kill a horse gun at this moment. ā
Liu Yan's doubts in his eyes suddenly faded, and he said happily: "Good idea!" Recapture Xingyang City, go all the way, and recapture the lost Jiaqing Pass! cut off their back road, let the Lu army attack on both sides, and trapped in my Southern Song Dynasty! ā
Chu Shenxia answered: "Not only that, but His Highness can also unite border forces and attack the Lu country." ā
Liu Yan couldn't help nodding, he already had a rough plan in his heart, and instructed Uncle Pei Dongdao: "Pass the order, and break through the encirclement immediately at any cost!" ā
Seeing that His Royal Highness was so happy, Pei Shudong responded with a smile on his eyebrows, walked two steps and then retreated, stuffing the torch in his hand into Chu Shenxia's hand before running away.
Chu Shenxia saw that Liu Yan was looking at the map intently, so he took the torch closer to him and looked at the young coach carefully.
Liu Yan suddenly turned his head, met his eyes, and said vigilantly: "Who are you?" If you want to say again, you are an ordinary soldier under General Xie's camp, I will not believe it. ā
Chu Shenxia said seriously: "I am an extraordinary soldier under General Xie's camp. ā
Liu Yan put away the map and laughed silently: "No matter what, I don't dare to let you be an ordinary soldier, stay by my side and be a personal soldier." ā
Pro-soldiers... Chu Shenxia's firm eyes flashed with a trace of disdain, but he quickly covered up the past, and faintly echoed yes.
Under Liu Yan's deployment, the marching army successfully broke through the encirclement, broke through Xingyang, Jiaqing Pass, and Pengcheng all the way, and joined the border soldiers at Tongguan.
The Lu army, which was fighting viciously with Xinyang, received the news that the marching army had recovered Pengcheng, and began to mess up, and the slight advantage of the upper hand was reversed by the Song army. He wanted to retreat but had nowhere to retreat, and was broken by the Song army the next day and slaughtered at the foot of Yulin Mountain.
Seeing that the current situation was very good, Liu Yan led an army of 150,000 and rushed to the country of Lu. Lu Guojun was very shocked when he heard the news, and after listening to the advice of his ministers, he had no choice but to sue for peace.
Princess Yongming, as a candidate with her relatives, was escorted back to Jincheng by the marching army.
Liu Yan opened the tent and walked in, a sultry feeling hit his face, and his eyes swept around and fell on the brazier on the ground: "Princess Yongming, I have wronged you to live in this tent for the night tonight." ā
Princess Yongming was holding a bowl and didn't know what to drink, when she saw someone coming in, she hurriedly handed the bowl to others, got up with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just that it's very cold in this tent, can I send someone to add a few more braziers?" ā
Liu Yan glanced at Princess Yongming wrapped in a white fur with some surprise, other camps have always used only one brazier, but her tent has already used four braziers, she still feels cold?
On closer inspection, the princess's face was pale without a trace of blood, and she did not have the same spirit as she had seen during the day, and she was a little disgusted.
"The princess is free to do so." Liu Yan paused, and couldn't help asking, "Is the princess suffering from the cold or sick, do you want to invite a doctor to take a look?" ā
Princess Yongming Ying Ying bowed and said with a smile: "I'm just too tired, I have a doctor girl myself, thank you for your kindness." ā
Liu Yan nodded, and was about to turn around and go out, when a servant girl came in without raising her head, and hit him right on the chest.
When Liu Yan looked down, she couldn't help but be startled, the steaming soup bowl in her hand splashed a lot of water, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, and the soup bowl didn't move in her hand.
Liu Yan took the soup bowl from her hand, glanced at the back of her reddened hand, and was about to say something when Princess Yongming came over with a trail.
Princess Yongming gave a look, and the maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the bowl in Liu Yan's hand, but he didn't hand it to the maidservant, and the handmaid's outstretched hand froze in the air.
He moved his gaze to Princess Yongming's face and asked, "With such a strong smell of medicine, does the princess still say that she is not sick?" ā
Princess Yongming's already white face became more and more pale, she was terminally ill and had to live on decoction every day, it was precisely because of this that King Lu would choose her as a candidate for harmony. It's okay during the day, and you can hold on for a while, but every time at night, I always feel out of breath, and the whole person collapses and can't use any strength.
She thought of the wording from the beginning, took a breath of cold air and said, "The little problem of my daughter's family is not in the way, it will be fine in a few days." ā
Liu Yan looked like she was going to fall down in the next second, she couldn't believe it, and said loudly: "Let's ask the doctor to take a look, so as not to make any mistakes." ā
The maidservant, who had been bowing her head and not speaking, suddenly said: "Back to Your Highness, I am the medicine girl of Princess Yongming, the princess is indeed unwell, and she will be fine in a few days." ā
"But you're from Lu." Liu Yan retorted.
The maidservant responded: "I am from the Southern Song Dynasty, Your Highness, I don't know what this has to do with whether I am from Lu or not?" ā
Liu Yan looked at her deeply and said, "Are you from the Southern Song Dynasty?" ā
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, and the people in the tent did not speak and waited quietly for the owner of the footsteps to come in, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, a cold wind poured in.
Princess Yongming shook her body a little unbearably, Liu Yan glanced at her, and said to Pei Shudong, who opened the curtain but didn't come in: "Come in and talk." ā
He groaned, and lowered the curtain.
Princess Yongming slowly walked back to the bed and sat down, although it was a little rude, it was better than suddenly falling to the ground and startling them.
Pei Shudong's gaze wandered around Princess Yongming, and was interrupted by Liu Yan's words: "What's the matter?" ā
"Oh, the doctor said there was a shortage of herbs and told me to think of a way, but where did I get it? Let's ask Your Highness, what should I do? ā
"Herbs, what herbs? Why didn't you get ready when you went out of town? Liu Yan was a little displeased.
Pei Shudong frowned and said, "No, Your Highness, the weather is too cold, and the wounds of some soldiers are frozen and cracked." ā
Liu Yan was also a little worried: "It's Xinyang tomorrow, can you last another day?" When you get to Xinyang, there are herbs. ā
"Yes, that's what I told the doctor, but the doctor said that if I can't get the herbs tonight, when I get up tomorrow, most of these soldiers' hands and feet will fall sick. I've been to see it, and it's really cracked very badly, and it hurts me a little to think that they survived life and death on the battlefield and had to be disabled because of frostbite. Pei Shudong thought of that scene, and his brows tightened.
Princess Yongming suddenly said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, I have a few medical women here who know how to treat, I don't know if I can help or not?" Semi-contained. ā
The woman who was called replied, "Yes, I know that some herbs are used to treat frostbite, maybe different from those used by the doctors in the barracks." Can I give it a try? ā
"Centella asiatica, real fragrance, camphor scraping and dressing." Sun Banrong quickly picked out some of the herbs in a pile and handed them to the doctor on the side.
Doctor Xu took it with some hesitation, and glanced at Liu Yan in embarrassment: "Your Highness, there is something wrong with the herbs used by this girl." ā
Banrong intercepted his words and raised his voice: "What's wrong?" You still can't believe the people brought by His Royal Highness King Shun personally? ā
Doctor Xu looked embarrassed: "It's not... These grasses... Herbs, we have never used, especially this centella asiatica, which we used to burn. How... How can you heal a wound? ā
"The effect of centella asiatica to stop bleeding is immediate. It only grows on the cold mountains, and this herb cannot be found in Jincheng. Sun Banrong retorted.
"I've saved so many people, I'm afraid I've eaten more than you've ever eaten! I've never heard of this grass used to make pots and have this function, I don't believe it! Dr. Xu angrily put the centella asiatica back into the herb pile.
Banrong was a little angry when he saw his disbelief, and her grandson Banrong's ability to recognize herbs was questioned by a doctor in a small military camp. At the beginning, King Lu sent people all the way to ask her to go out of the mountain to heal Princess Yongming, even if he used a very understandable dissection, King Lu did not question half a sentence. Now it's just a few herbs, but the people in front of me don't believe it.
Sun Banrong stared at Doctor Xu for a while, then reached out and took a dagger on the table. Liu Yan was startled, and before she could stop it, the blood had already flowed down her white wrist, and she couldn't help reproaching: "I haven't said anything yet, you won't be able to test the medicine like this, right?" ā
Banrong ignored him, spread some yellowed gauze on the wound, grabbed some centella asiatica and put it on the gauze, and after a while, the blood no longer flowed down the palm.
"It's... That's good? Dr. Xu looked at her very excitedly, and asked hesitantly, "Can you lift the gauze and let me see the wound?" ā
Banrong hurriedly bandaged the wound and asked, "Open it?" What kind of miracle do you think this is? Okay, so thorough? If you open it, it's a blank compress, you are a doctor, don't you know? ā
Doctor Xu had a white face, but his eyes flashed with some light, and he took the herbal medicine basket on the table and said, "Your Highness..."
"There you go." Liu Yan watched him walk away, and his gaze fell back on her.
"Your Highness, I will also go to see the injuries of the soldiers, maybe there is something wrong, otherwise the wounds that have been treated will not be cracked open by freezing." Sun Banrong saluted and walked out.
Liu Yan picked up a herb scattered on the table and fell into deep thought, what kind of woman makes people admire at a glance, this familiar feeling seems to have been encountered in someone.
"Your Highness." A neutral voice came from outside the door, Liu Yan turned around and saw Chu Shenxia standing outside the door, with no intention of coming in.
The two looked at each other for a while, or Liu Yan walked towards him, and he suddenly remembered that feeling had been encountered in anyone, wasn't it the person in front of him?
"What's the matter?"
"Something's wrong."
