Chapter 256: Garrison Zixiao City
Border.
Shangguan Yu was dressed in a silver robe, and the sword in his hand was once again slashed off the enemy's head, and blood was splashed on his robe.
The enemy army attacked on a large scale, but our army was unable to fight due to the spread of the plague, and nearly one-third of the soldiers were unable to fight, which was already weakened.
As a young marshal, Shangguan Yu took the lead and led the soldiers to kill the enemy.
This battle lasted for three days and three nights.
"Quick, carry the person to the tent first, stop the bleeding first!"
"There are not many medicinal cloths, let people prepare ......"
"The number of hemostatic scatters is not enough, hurry up and ask for instructions......"
The military doctors in the rear also did not close their eyes for several days and nights, and when they rested for a cup of tea, several soldiers may have lost their lives due to excessive blood loss.
All the military doctors had red eyes, and they couldn't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms.
Finally, the sound of gongs sounding and closing the troops came from the front line, and the entire rear people moved, and then wiped their faces, and forced themselves to devote themselves to their work again.
And these military doctors are all looking forward to Bai Ling's arrival as soon as possible.
Yes, Shangguan Yu finally chose to send a letter to ask Bai Ling to come over for healing.
It was not that Shangguan Yu put Bai Ling's safety behind, but that he firmly believed that Bai Ling had a way to cure this plague.
Even if Bai Ling couldn't do it in the end, Shangguan Yu would do his best not to let her be affected, even if it was in exchange for his life.
However, more and more soldiers at the border pass are falling, and the military doctors are extremely heavy, and they know too well what the consequences will be if they continue like this.
Capital.
There is a plague at the border pass, and such a major event is naturally to be played by the imperial court.
After the emperor saw the twist, he immediately summoned several confidants to the imperial study to discuss the matter.
"Do you have any suggestions?" After letting a few people finish reading the recital, the emperor asked out loud, but he couldn't hear the tone.
"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that the treatment of the plague should be the main thing. Once something happens to Zixiao City, the border pass will definitely be unstable, and those small countries and tribes who covet the land of the Eastern Han Dynasty will definitely take the opportunity to conquer the city. Tobe Shangshu said loudly.
"The plague is the most difficult to treat, and with the style of the Han Palace, unless a person dies in the plague, he will never take action to prevent the future. The minister was worried that if the plague was not eliminated, it would spread even more severely, and when the time came, ......" The official Shangshu's face was solemn, and he didn't dare to finish the next words.
Several other adults are also afraid of such a result.
Plague has been a pervert since ancient times.
"The minister thinks that the emperor did not give an edict to the auspicious county lord, one is that she has treated the plague, and maybe there is a way to cure the plague, truly appease the people, and also make the border stable. The second is that the auspicious county lord is already in Zixiao City, and if the holy decree is conveyed urgently for eight hundred miles, it will be faster than the imperial doctor's past. ”
The prime minister was a veteran of the three dynasties and never participated in any party disputes, so he was the most listenable to the emperor.
Looking up at the inexplicable look of the emperor, the prime minister continued:
"Only when the border is stable can the country prosper. Zixiao City is unbreakable. ”
The emperor's expression was grim, but he did not speak, but looked at the others.
Hubu Shangshu was picked up by the emperor, since he knew the emperor's mind best, after a little thought, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Zixiao City is the border of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once it is lost, there will be more than ten small countries and tribes to conquer the city, and its losses are incalculable. The minister thought that there was some truth in what the Prime Minister said, and that the spread of the plague must be suppressed first. But the emperor should also make preparations with both hands, so as not to make it difficult to control the situation when the situation is critical. ”
"Oh? Aiqing said let's hear it. The Emperor was interested.
The prime minister raised his eyes and glanced at Tobe Shangshu, and then lowered his eyelids again, as if he was not interested in his words.
"The minister thinks that the emperor should mobilize the troops near Zixiao City to stabilize the situation before Zixiao City is really turbulent." Tobe Shangshu said vaguely.
Since Zixiao City became the fief of the Han Palace, no emperor has ever sent troops to enter it.
It can be said that Zixiao City is the private property of the Han Palace, but it is just on the territory of the Eastern Han Kingdom.
In recent generations of kings, no one wants to really control Zixiao City, but because of the prestige of the Han Palace, and they can't catch the mistakes of the Han Palace, they have always allowed the status of the Han Palace.
Of course, this kind of laissez-faire is only on the surface, and the methods in the secret are endless, otherwise how could Shangguan Yu have been poisoned since he was a child?
"What Aiqing said, I think it can be considered." The emperor swept over several courtiers, and someone immediately responded, but the prime minister did not react, "What does the prime minister think of the suggestion of the head of the household?" ”
"I don't think it's appropriate." The prime minister has always been loyal to the Eastern Han Dynasty, not the monarch, so he immediately said: "Now that the situation in Zixiao City is urgent, if you send a large army to station, I am afraid that it will cause panic among the military and the people." And ......"
In the imperial study, the monarchs and ministers held their own opinions, and discussed the matter of garrisoning Zixiao City for more than an hour, but outsiders did not know about it.
Zidong City.
Bai Ling was wearing home clothes, leaning lazily on the soft collapse, but his eyes were full of danger.
"Send people to the prefect, don't leave a word. On the Li family's side, there is no need to follow anymore. After a moment of silence, Bai Ling commanded.
The secret guard retreated, and Bai Ling murmured softly: "The Ouyang family in the capital, this hand is stretched long enough, suppressing me as a peasant girl, and I am embarrassed to claim to be a century-old family, hey!" ”
Shangguan Yu's secret guard was very efficient, but after a few days of hard work, it was found out that Mrs. Li was bought by the subordinates of the Ouyang family in the capital and wanted to frame Hua Xiangrong.
And the purpose is naturally the formula in Bai Ling's hands, and by the way, he also wants to rectify the prefect.
"Beijing...... Looks like I'm going to have to speed up my plans, and I can't let people hold me back. Sitting up, Bai Ling opened the drawer, took out a charcoal pen wrapped in strips of cloth, and wrote two secret letters.
Although Bai Ling's calligraphy is good, he prefers to use charcoal.
"Get the letter out as soon as possible." Bai Ling handed the two letters to the Dark Guard.
One is for Duan Yulang, and the other is for Xiao Mu.
The banquet in Ouyang Mansion came as scheduled, and the Bai family got up early in the morning to freshen up.
It was the first time to participate in such a high-level banquet, and I had to prepare carefully and I was very nervous.
"Second sister, don't leave us for a while, my heart is about to jump out of my heart that you touched." In the carriage, Bai Wei grabbed Bai Ling's hand and put it in her heart, and said nervously: "Are there many official wives of the guests invited by the prefect's wife?" Even if it's not an official, it's also those nobles, right? ”
"Do you think you're really not afraid of heaven and earth, it's just a banquet, just so nervous?" Bai Ling teased.
Looking up at the rest of the family, except for Bai Xing, they were all a little more nervous than Bai Wei.
"It's not the first time you've met with the prefect's wife, this time the host is the prefect's wife, as long as she doesn't embarrass you, others want to sell the prefect's wife's face, and they don't dare to embarrass you, unless it's a brain show."
Bai Ling regretted a little, when the rich people in the town invited her family in the past, she should have made the decision to agree.
"It's okay, let's just go for a long time, it's just to eat, drink tea, and chat."
