Xue Huai didn't answer, but said lightly: "Lord Hong can lead a team of five hundred people to meet the vanguard army that is the first to return from defeat, and there may be General Yue in it." ”

Hong Ding was slightly shocked: "You ordered the vanguard army to be deliberately defeated?" Why? ”

Xue Huai: "Lord Hong belongs to General Yue, so you just need to respond." ”

Hong Ding reacted very quickly: "I don't think it's right that you didn't order the British army to fight, it turned out to be protecting our general?" If you don't participate in the battle against the Beiting Army at all, you are completely out of responsibility, right? There's some protection to go ahead with now, isn't it? ”

"But in this way, there is no great merit...... Hong Ding muttered and calculated, "How can the previous work of curing the plague be compared to the fight against Beiting-you monk!" Do you want to pile up all this credit on King Hui's head?! ”

Xue Huai looked at him lightly: "General Yue needs to rest quietly, Lord Hong, please go back." ”

Hong Ding glared at Xue Huai angrily, and said in a low voice: "It turned out to be King Hui's henchman?" Still pretending not to rely on any forces? Where is King Hui, give me a good word! Let him come out and see him! ”

Xue Huai's calm tone was filled with coldness: "If I knew where King Hui was, I would never pretend to be him." He raised his hand and made a gesture of "please come out", "Lord Hong, please come back." ”

Hong Ding stared at him with heavy eyes, looked at Yue Tang again, and his tone calmed down a lot: "I'll come to visit again in two days." ”

Xue Huai was noncommittal, and after Hong Ding walked away, he gently closed the door.

Three days later, half of the vanguard army was defeated and fled, and the Beiting army invaded the territory of Great Xia for more than fifteen miles. Half a day later, the Beiting Army was raided by the Second General Song Chen from the diagonal rear on both sides, disrupting the offensive of the Beiting army and causing the Beiting army to retreat for nearly ten miles. On the next five days, the vanguard army used the water mist sprayed with epidemic poison by the waterwheel began to show its effect, and half of the Beiting army showed symptoms such as fever, vomiting and skin ulceration, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and they retreated in a hurry again, but they were attracted by the banner letter of "those who surrender will get the antidote" put out by the soldiers of Daxia, and nearly 1,000 people immediately disarmed and entered the camp of Daxia, and the rest were panicked because the leader punished him wantonly and did not know how to advance or retreat.

When the news came back to Lanxi, it was already evening, and King Hui's mansion was full of jubilation, and Jin Shitong personally wrote down the excerpt of his contribution to the imperial court; Chang Yu selected the last detoxification and conditioning herbs in the medicinal herb warehouse, thinking that if Jin Shitong knew that he could not let Yue Tang linger on the sickbed because of Xuehuai taking medicine at the same time, he didn't know how to punish himself, and he felt uneasy; Hong Ding did not find Yue Song in the vanguard army returning to Lanxi, and the letters sent to the front line to find Yue Song were all responded with "no finding", and he visited Yue Tang again in a state of uneasiness, but because Yue Tang was still weak at the beginning of his serious illness, he did not want to bother too much, and he did not make a decision.

Several waves of soldiers were ordered by Jin Shitong to come to Xue Huai to discuss matters, but Xue Huai seemed to grow in the inner room of this medical hall, and he didn't take a step no matter what. Jin Shitong was annoyed and helpless, so he had to order someone to send a message back and forth, and for a time this medical hall seemed to become a temporary command center, and there were rumors in the city that General Guiying could still defeat Beiting even if he was sick, and Xu was a god of heaven.

On this day and night, the snow was blowing one after another, and a group of hurried people entered the hospital. Untied the big cloud, shook off the wind and snow, and knocked on the door of the inner room with a solemn expression. After knocking on it, he found that the door was empty, and when he pushed the door in, he saw Xue Huai standing slightly sideways on the edge of the bed, and whispered to a folk girl to change the medicine for Yue Tang's abdominal injury and wrap it in gauze. Almost at the same time as the person who knocked on the door entered, Xue Huai took the lead in blocking the front of Yue Tang's bare skin, completely blocking the view of the visitor.

The two quietly waited for the maiden to finish cleaning up for Yue Tang, Xue Huai thanked the maiden, and said: "Remember to close the door after the tired girl comes in next time." The woman glanced at the visitor, nodded yes quickly, and quickly walked out.

Xue Huai still stood in place without any intention of moving, quietly watching the comer.
