Chapter 1359: Let Them Cross the River
led Wang Zhen out of Wang Liu's bedroom, and Liu Wei's face was very ugly.
His steps were so big that Wang Zhen followed behind him, and he even had to trot all the way to barely keep up.
Out of the back garden, Liu Wei walked straight to the imperial doctor's room.
The Imperial Infirmary, which is equivalent to an exclusive hospital built in the Imperial Palace.
Since Liu Wei occupied Luoyang, although it was not called this name in the past, it has always assumed the same responsibility.
The person in charge of the affairs of the imperial infirmary is none other than Hua Tuo, who has always been valued by Liu Wei.
With Wang Zhen, he walked directly to the main entrance of the imperial infirmary.
Several guards guarding the door, who had seen Wang Zhen leave, saw her come with Liu Wei at this time, and knew that there must be something important, so they hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed to Liu Wei and Wang Zhen.
Ignoring the guards at all, Liu Wei went straight into the front hall of the imperial infirmary.
As soon as they entered the front hall, several imperial doctors who were studying medicinal materials in the hall heard footsteps coming from the door, and they all turned their heads to look out.
When they found that it was Liu Wei who was standing at the door, they hurriedly got up, clenched their fists and bowed to their mouths, and shouted: "Wait for the ministers to knock to see Your Majesty!" ”
Raising his hand to the imperial doctors, Liu Wei asked them, "What about Hua Tuo?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Doctor Hua is in the inner hall!" Maintaining a fist-hugging and bowing posture, one of the imperial doctors answered.
Ignoring these imperial doctors, Liu Wei walked straight towards the inner hall.
Wang Zhen, who was following him, waved his hand to the imperial doctors as he walked briskly towards the inner hall.
Seeing Wang Zhen waving his hand, several imperial doctors dispersed and went to do their own business.
After entering the inner hall, Liu Wei searched for a while, but did not find Hua Tuo.
As he walked along the corridor of the inner hall, he saw a young imperial physician approaching him and beckoning to him.
Only then did he walk out of a side room, and saw Liu Wei head-on, the imperial doctor was about to salute, and saw Liu Wei waving at him, so he hurriedly walked up to meet him, and stopped four or five steps away from Liu Wei, hugged his fists and bowed down and said: "Minister, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”
"Have you seen Hua Tuo?" Raising his hand, Liu Wei asked the imperial doctor.
"Hui Yu Xià!" He had never spoken so closely to Liu Biao, and when the young imperial doctor answered, his expression was still a little apprehensive, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and said, "Mr. Hua Tuo just went out!" ”
"Out?" When he entered the imperial infirmary, several imperial doctors outside still said that Hua Tuo was in the inner hall, but the little imperial doctor in front of him said that he had gone out, which couldn't help but make Liu Wei a little puzzled in his heart, and asked, "When will you go out?" Why didn't the people in the outer chamber see him go out? ”
Bounching down, the young imperial doctor was so nervous that he was almost speechless.
Wang Zhen, who was standing behind Liu Wei, was a little impatient, and interjected: "Your Majesty asked, why don't you answer?" ”
was questioned by Wang Zhen, and the young imperial doctor was shocked, and said stumblingly: "Go back to ...... Returning to His Majesty, Doctor Hua Taiyi went out from the back door......"
When the young imperial doctor said this, Liu Wei remembered that the imperial doctor's room really had a back door, but the back door had always been only for merchants who sent medicinal materials, and the imperial doctors disdained to go through that small door.
Furrowing his brows, he looked at the young imperial doctor from head to toe, and Liu Wei instructed Wang Zhen: "Go, follow me to the back door and have a look!" ”
"Majesty!" Liu Wei was also going to the back door of the imperial infirmary, and Wang Zhen hurriedly said: "The back door is ......."
"It is for the merchants of medicinal herbs to walk." Before Wang Zhen finished speaking, Liu Wei interrupted her and said: "I also know, but you and I are looking for Hua Tuo, but I can't care about so much, and go to the back door to see!" ”
"No!" Liu Wei said so, and Wang Zhen couldn't insist on anything, so he had to bow down with his fists and answer, follow him, walk through the corridor, and go to the back door.
Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, it was not until Liu Wei and Wang Zhen walked away that the young imperial doctor straightened his waist, raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Out of the inner hall of the imperial infirmary, turned into the backyard, and smelled a strong smell of herbs when he met Liu Wei.
In the backyard, several handymen were busy stacking the newly arrived herbs neatly, and when they saw Liu Wei and Wang Zhen coming, the handymen hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed to the two.
Ignoring these miscellaneous servants, Liu Wei walked straight to the back door.
Seeing the emperor walking towards the back door of the imperial infirmary, the miscellaneous servants were all full of astonishment.
Liu Wei became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, although he was very fond of commoners and people with low status, but in the Han court, the level of status was still the main factor that determined the treatment.
As an emperor of the first dynasty, Liu Wei actually came to the back door of the imperial infirmary, which really made the miscellaneous servants unable to figure it out in their hearts.
Several guards guarding the back door hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed when they saw Liu Wei coming.
When he arrived at the back door, Liu Wei asked the officer who led the guards, "Can you see Hua Tuo?" ”
"Hui Yu Xià!" The officer who led several guards to guard the back door of the imperial infirmary heard the inquiry and hurriedly responded: "Doctor Hua Tai just went out, saying that he was going into the mountains to find some medicinal herbs!" ”
Knowing from the officer that Hua Tuo really went out, and was still looking for some medicinal herbs, Liu Wei frowned, and said to the officer: "Inform General Deng that he wants to send more than ten dragoon guards to find Hua Tuo, and make sure that Hua Tuo is thorough!" ”
"No!" The officer responded, and he didn't care that he was on duty, so he personally went out of the palace to inform Deng Zhan.
Seeing the officer walk away, Liu Biancai instructed Wang Zhen behind him: "Go!" Go see your sister! ”
Wang Liu is pregnant, but because of her weak bones, she may be in danger when she gives birth.
While Liu Wei was full of worries about Wang Liu, he was located in the southwest barbarian territory, and several battles had already been fought between the Han army and the barbarian army.
The scale of the battle was not very large, and the soldiers and horses invested by both sides in each battle did not exceed 1,000 people.
However, every time there was a battle, Mrs. Zhurong would order the barbarians to retreat for several miles.
Unconsciously, the Han army had advanced more than a hundred miles deep into the barbarian realm.
Leading the army, he was marching forward, and Zhuge Jun saw a fast horse coming in front of him.
Riding a war horse rushing towards him was a Han cavalryman.
When the cavalry arrived in front of Zhuge Jun, he arched at him with his fists in his fist, and said in a loud voice: "General Qiqi, Mrs. Zhurong is leading the barbarian army to cross the river in front, is our army pursuing?" ”
"Did the barbarians leave the queen?" Knowing that the barbarian was crossing the river, Zhuge Jun hurriedly asked the soldier.
"There is no queen!" Putting down his fists, the cavalry said to Zhuge Jun: "The barbarians are swarming to the other side of the river, and the situation is very chaotic, not like retreating, but like retreating!" ”
After listening to the cavalry's report, Xu Chu, who was standing behind Zhuge Jun, said: "General Zhuge , since the barbarians are retreating, our army should take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill ......."
"Let the barbarians cross the river!" Zhuge Jun did not listen to Xu Chu's advice, but said to him: "The barbarians and our army have only had a small battle, even in the initial battle, the barbarians have not been completely defeated, and there will be no chaos to this point!" ”
Zhuge Jun's analysis, although it was not too convincing, but after all, he was the commander of the army, Xu Chu didn't dare to say anything, so he had to arch at him with his fists and didn't say anything more.
The Han army slowed down its march, but Mrs. Zhurong, who had already crossed the river with the barbarian army, had a look of loss on her face.
Staring at the other side of the riverbank, Mrs. Zhurong had a bit of cold chill on her face, which made the barbarian leaders and generals who followed her feel as if they had been soaked in an ice cellar, and the cold was a little unbearable.
"Madame!" Just as he was staring at the opposite side of the riverbank, a barbarian leader ran over from the river, and when he came to Mrs. Zhurong, he clasped his fists and said to her: "The Han people have slowed down their march, as if they have no intention of attacking our army!" ”
"Slow down?" Listening to the words of the barbarian leader, Mrs. Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment and looked across the riverbank.
The barbarians who were crossing the river were in confusion, and many of them pushed and shoved and jumped onto the rafts that lay across the river.
The barbarians who jumped on the raft crowded into a crowd, urging the people who supported the raft to speed up, while those who had not yet jumped on the raft on the shore shouted loudly for the raft behind to come to the shore as soon as possible.
Some of the barbarians, because they stood too close to the shore, were pushed into the water when they pushed each other.
The barbarians who fell into the water splashed in the river, and the barbarians on the shore stretched out their hands to them.
Some of those who were close to the shore were dragged up by their companions, and a few who were far from the shore could only flutter and struggle in the water.
A few brutes who were squeezed into the water, relying on some water, desperately swam towards the opposite side of the riverbank.
One of them was swimming, and a raft came up in front of him.
The speed of the raft was very fast, and when the barbarian holding the raft found him, it was too late to stop the raft, and the corners of the raft slammed heavily on the brute's forehead.
His forehead was knocked on the raft, and the brute in the water had black eyes, and sank to the bottom with the waves rolled up by the river.
The barbarian on the raft hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch him, but his movements were half a beat slower, and he could only watch as the river annihilated the brute.
The brute vanished from the surface of the river, and a small cloud of red like plum blossoms rose in the water.
With the roll of the river, the red gradually spread, and finally disappeared.
"Pass the order and slow down the process of crossing the river!" After receiving the news that the Han army was slowing down, Mrs. Zhu Rong's face was full of loss, and she instructed the barbarians behind her: "Tell the vine soldiers on the other side that when the army has all crossed the river, they will come to this bank as much as possible!" ”
One of the barbarians behind her answered, giving her order to the barbarians who were crossing the river.
"Madame has an order, slow down the process of crossing the river!" After receiving the order of Mrs. Zhurong, the barbarians who carried the raft to the other side to pick up the barbarian army shouted loudly to the other side while holding the penny.
When the barbarians on the other side heard the shouting, they all fell silent.
There was no need for them to push in the first place, it was Mrs. Zhurong who gave a death order, asking them to cross the river as much as possible, and if it was too late, they would all be killed.
No one is afraid of being beheaded, and under fear, the barbarians rush to cross the river.
