Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Gentleman Cooks Far Away

Of course, there was news about the invasion of the Qi State, which had already reached the imperial court when the Qi army entered the country.

Now Li Hao is writing mainly about how he discovered the situation and then sent troops to relieve the siege in time.

Just as Li Hao's writing was springing up, Ren Xin had already changed his medicine and walked in with what he was eating.

It's just that seeing that Li Hao was busy on the bookcase, he didn't plan to bother, thinking that he would come back later.

It's just that Li Hao's vigilance is high, and when he saw someone coming in, he looked up and saw that it was Ren Xin, so he said, "Come in, I'll write it right away."

When Ren Xin heard this, he came in and put his things down, and sat aside and waited for Li Hao.

It didn't take long for the report, which was full of non-documentary techniques, to be written.

After putting down the pen, Li Hao looked at Ren Xin and asked, "This chaos has just stopped, where did this food come from, you made it yourself!"

Ren Xin replied: "I don't have such good skills, these are all made by the cooks in the palace, your people just found them, let them prepare the food of the wounded soldiers, I saw that they let them prepare a little alone."

After speaking, he also deliberately emphasized one point: "By the way, I have experienced poison before taking it, you can also test it again."

Li Hao smiled when he heard this, got up and sat next to Ren Xin, and directly took a piece and tasted it.

"Can I still trust what you sent? It's just that this craftsmanship is still a little worse, and it can't catch up with the level of the East Palace."

Ren Xin saw that Li Hao was on the front line, and he was still picky about the taste of food, so he said angrily: "It's good to eat some, but you still pick and choose, if it's not delicious, you just get hungry."

"I'm telling the truth, this is indeed not as delicious as the East Palace, this person is alive, he can't bitter his mouth if he suffers anything, if he doesn't have the conditions, it's just that, if he has the conditions, he can't improve his living standards.

Go, I'll take you to eat something delicious, so that you can testify that what I say is true."

Saying that, Li Hao stood up, making Ren Xin look confused.

Surprised: "No, you came here this time, did you even bring the cook from the East Palace."

Li Hao replied, "Of course not, I came out to fight, what are you going to do with the cook?" And whatever I really want to eat, I can do it myself!"

Obviously, Li Hao cooked by himself, which surprised her even more than Li Hao taking the cook, and exclaimed, "What?"

Li Hao was taken aback, and said angrily: "Isn't it just that you know how to cook, why are you so surprised."

Ren Xin said: "You still ask me, they all say that the gentleman is far away from cooking, who would have thought that you are a dignified prince and can cook?"

Li Hao replied: "You just don't know much about this, the full text of the gentleman's kitchen is that the gentleman is to the beast, and when he sees his life, he can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away.

The original meaning is that a gentleman should have a loving heart, and it is not simply understood that a gentleman cannot enter the kitchen.

It's just that some people now deliberately misinterpret it in order to emphasize the authority of a gentleman and highlight their own differences."

After speaking, he asked Ren Xin to take him to the kitchen, and he happened to inspect the wounded soldiers.

But because of this, Li Hao didn't get the opportunity to show his skills in the end.

Because when inspecting the wounded soldiers, Li Hao found that the local doctor's treatment of external injuries was still in a three-plate axe state of digging sores, dressing medicines, and putting on straps.

Even when it comes to treatment, there is no classification of priorities, let alone more refined treatment methods.

Therefore, in the end, the wounded soldiers still have to fight for their vitality, and some of them are seriously injured and are already in a state of dying life.

Although Li Hao has a deep understanding of the price to pay, when it comes to the present, it is really impossible to let Li Hao go.

So Li Hao had no choice but to say hello to Ren Xin, turned his head and personally led people to do treatment.

The first is to divide the patients into three classes according to the critical situation, and each level is placed separately.

Seriously injured patients were put in the highest priority for treatment, and these people were led by Li Hao

In-person treatment.

With the medical experience of the previous life, coupled with the slow help of Yangzhou, Li Hao dared to do two on the spot for thoracotomy surgery.

After a night, except for a few who were too seriously injured, Li Hao was basically stabilized.

However, Li Hao was tired enough, so he could only go back to the room to rest first.

But Li Hao's hard work was not in vain, and for a while, his reputation for loving soldiers like a son quickly spread in the city.

After all, in feudal society, as long as the soldiers are paid enough food, they can already be loved by the soldiers.

Li Hao's behavior is obviously a bit over-standard, and the effect is even more significant, not to mention that Li Hao is still the prince, which itself represents the righteousness and is an important embodiment of their patriotism.

It's just that Li Hao didn't rest for long, and was woken up by a noise outside.

Someone came to report to Li Hao, and then was stopped by Ren Xin.

Ren Xin said, "Your Highness has been busy all night, and just lay down, if there is nothing urgent, come back later."

As soon as the person who came was told this, he took the letter in his hand, and he was a little lost for a while.

However, Li Hao helped him out of the siege, only to see Li Hao push open the door and say, "Okay, Lone has woken up, what is the matter with you, tell me."

Ren Xin got out of the way, and the person who came hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a letter from Fengcheng.

Li Hao took out the letter inside, which was written by Chen Xi himself, which said that the Qi army outside Fengcheng already knew about Liuzhou at this time, and there would already be signs of withdrawal, so Li Hao could prepare in advance.

Now that Fengcheng has got the news, it should be similar to other cities.

Then Li Hao asked, "What time is it, how did you do the matter of gathering the big clans in the city before, but some people want to resist."

The person replied: "After receiving the news of His Highness's summons, the big clans in the city are very positive, and they are now waiting outside the palace, waiting for you to receive them."

Hearing this, Li Hao understood that these people had probably been waiting for a while, and I am afraid that if it weren't for the secret letter, these people would not have come to call themselves.

After all, the big clans near the border gates, even if they have limited influence, at least they will not be afraid of them.

However, Li Hao still had something to arrange for them, so he said, "Then you take them into the lobby, and I'll freshen up later."

After the people came to obey the order and left, Li Hao looked at Ren Xin and asked, "You have been guarding the door just now?"

Ren Xin didn't answer, but it seemed that it was too, Li Hao took her acquiescence and said, "You followed me last night, and you didn't sleep all night, now hurry up and rest."

Ren Xin didn't leave, but asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

Li Hao smiled: "I still have something, now that Qi Jun knows the situation in Liuzhou, he thinks he will come over soon."

After meeting with the local clans, I will have to go to the city wall to check again, but don't worry, I have recovered after lying down for a while.

And the matter of marching and arranging is not your strong point, so it is better to go back and rest first.

The time to be really busy hasn't come yet, so you have to take care of your spirits first, so that you can have energy after the real war, and then I can sleep peacefully with your protection."

Ren Xin thought about it, even if she followed Li Hao now, she couldn't do anything.

Then he said, "Okay, then when I have rested, I will go to you."

After arranging Ren Xin to leave, Li Hao came to the lobby and met the clans of Liuzhou.

For them, Li Hao's main thing is to appease them, so that they don't make any trouble during this time of defending the city.

Of course, in order to keep them in mind, it is necessary to find a chicken to wake up.

In this regard, with the intelligence support of Jinyi Wei, Li Hao found the largest one among the three who took the lead in surrendering to Chengde.

In this way, in addition to killing chickens and setting an example, at the same time, use this industry to win over other people, and Enwei does not have to spend his own money, killing two birds with one stone.

After arranging this group of big clans and sending them away, Li

Hao left the palace.

It's just that Li Hao didn't go to the city wall, but under the leadership of Jinyiwei, he came to a remote house in the city.

I saw here that Li Hao transferred the 500 firearms battalion from the Great Lake, which was also Li Hao's killer weapon to ensure that the plan was foolproof.

"Well, you don't have any problems here, are you all ready with your firearms?"

Chen Song, the commander of the firearms battalion, replied, "Back to Your Highness, all the weapons we are waiting for have been brought in safely, and no one else has found them.

After the Qi army entered the city, they did not search for it on a large scale, and soon left to attack other cities, and the rest of the people only held on to the city walls, and our neighborhood has always been quiet."

"That's fine, then you take Gu to see the sergeants and equipment in the camp first."

After Chen Song heard this, he took Li Hao and began to inspect.

However, this mansion can not accommodate 500 people, in fact, it is surrounded by the territory of Jinyiwei, and there are tunnels underground.

After walking back and forth through the tunnels for a few yards, I finally walked back and went to see the arsenal.

Now the firearms battalion has all been updated to the flintlock era, although there is no rifling for the time being, but with the back-fire charge and the paper cartridge case with fixed gunpowder, the firing efficiency is still quite high.

In addition, there are some improvised grenades, mines, and as for such bulky things as cannons, they were not delivered this time.

It's just that Li Hao hasn't made up his mind about whether they want to use it this time, so he will treat them as reserves first.

Because as soon as this epoch-making weapon appears, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of many people.

In fact, if they are all enemy countries, then forget it, anyway, there will be a fight.

But the problem is that they may not be the only ones, and there may not be a consensus within the country, and the best time is to wait for Li Hao to stabilize the basic market, expand the firearms battalion to a certain scale, and then show it in the hands of the world.

So after seeing everything, Li Hao said, "You continue to prepare here, and if there is a need to use you, Gu will inform you, and you must arrive at once, otherwise don't show up."

Chen Song came over this time just to show his style, and now that he may not have a chance to play, he immediately wanted to ask for battle: "Your Highness, we have been ready for a few years, you just let us play, and we will guarantee that we will beat the people of Qi to the ground."

Li Hao didn't want to fight at their strong belief in war, so he comforted: "You are my secret weapon, and I have always trusted you in your strength, and it is precisely because of this that you can't be sloppy in your first battle.

This battle with Qi is the first step for us to step towards the unification of the world, and there are many follow-up battles, at the right time, Lone will let you fight for the first time, I believe this time will not be too long, be patient."

Chen Song now has Li Hao's promise, which can be regarded as satisfaction: "Yes, we will obey the order."

After that, Li Hao inspected the four city walls again, confirmed the preparation of the materials for defending the city, and after all this, it was already dark, and Li Hao returned to the palace to rest.

And this day was also the last day that the Qi army left for Li Hao, and by noon the next day, the soldiers and horses of the Qi State had already arrived at the city of Liuzhou.

It's just that the soldiers and horses that came first were not from Fengcheng, but from the other direction, and the number of soldiers and horses was not very large, and it was estimated that it was about 5,000.

Obviously, the chaos that night did not allow the people of Qi to understand how many soldiers and horses entered the city.

It's just a matter of course that if you can get close to Liuzhou quietly and not be discovered by them, there will definitely not be too many soldiers and horses.

Then how could Li Hao let go of this opportunity, immediately changed into armor, and went out of the city with five hundred cavalry.

This is still the military horse that Li Hao exchanged for Chu Yuan, and he was trained by Gongye Gu.

Although this was their first time on the battlefield, with Li Hao charging ahead, the morale of the whole was extremely high.

And the people of Qi didn't expect the defenders in the city to take the initiative to attack, let alone the cavalry.

Caught off guard, the already loose formation was soon torn open by Li Hao.

After that, Li Hao seized the opportunity, led the cavalry to attack back and forth, continued to expand the results of the battle, and tore the Qi army's formation to pieces, and began to have a tendency to collapse.

It's just that when Li Hao was about to summon the infantry out of the city and destroy them in one fell swoop, the voice of Mingjin suddenly came from the city.

Immediately, Li Hao knew that this should be the soldiers and horses from Fengcheng.

There was no way, Li Hao could only give up this opportunity and choose to return to the city with his troops.

Of course, the battlefield that should be cleaned still needs to be cleaned, and it can be regarded as a capture.

Compared with this side, the soldiers and horses coming from Fengcheng were obviously more cautious, and they did not rush to approach the city, but prepared to set up camp.

At the same time, he also sent people to the city wall to ask who led the soldiers.

For this request, Li Hao did not directly meet it, but asked the people to go back in exchange for Qin Chu, the Marquis of Wuyang, who led the troops this time.

Qin Chu was now cut off from the back road, and he really wanted to know who the opponent was, so he came to the city wall very happily.

Then Li Hao showed up and played his banner.

After Qin Chu saw it, his first reaction was to retreat, and it seemed that Li Hao's deeds in Wu'an Pass had also reached his ears.

It was only when he finally saw that there was no abnormal bow on the head of the city, so he stopped, but he still kept a relatively safe distance.

Only then did he shout loudly, "Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Wu'an Pass? Why are you here?"

Li Hao said with a smile: "Hou Ye's name has been heard of for a long time when he is alone in Su Guo, so when he saw that Hou Ye was working hard from afar, he specially came to greet him.

Speaking of which, Hou Ye has just been here for a long time, why is he in a hurry to leave, it is better to chat with Gu Gu for a few more days here, so that Gu can fulfill the friendship of the landlord."
