Li Zhiyun stayed in Gaoqian City for another day, and he couldn't stay any longer. Listening to the tone of the second brother, this battle can't be fought for a while, and he has nothing to watch. Besides, he has nothing to do here, it's boring, it's better to go back to Chang'an. However, before leaving, Li Zhiyun planned to go to Li Guangmiao again to say hello to his second brother.

Li Zhiyun took Zhang Zheng, Cai Hu and several guards out of the city. The scenery along the way is beautiful and picturesque. Everyone drove their horses to the temple gate, Li Zhiyun turned over and dismounted, and led the way in.

Li Zhiyun led everyone to the backyard, happened to meet Yin Kaishan, and hurriedly said, "Sima Yin, is my second brother here?" Yin Kaishan nodded and said, "In the house." However, the prince is sick. When Li Zhiyun heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know. No, I'm about to ask Lang Zhong. Yin Kaishan said and left in a hurry.

Li Zhiyun hurriedly walked into the house, only to see the second brother lying on the bed leaning on the futon, looking tired and sickly. Liu Wenjing was so anxious that she walked around the room. Li Zhiyun walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed the second brother's hand and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" The second brother said weakly: "I don't know, I just feel chills all over my body......"

Li Zhiyun realized that the second brother's hands were trembling. Moreover, his whole body was shivering, which is typical of the pre-high fever. Liu Wenjing walked over and said, "The prince was fine in the morning, but he suddenly fell ill just now, and he couldn't even stand on his feet." The second brother's lips were cyanotic and trembling: "I... I had a headache yesterday, my whole body was weak, and my limbs were weak......"

Li Zhiyun frowned, turned his head to Liu Wenjing and said, "Could my second brother be suffering from the cold?" Liu Wenjing pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's possible." The prince's body has always been healthy, but he didn't expect to get sick suddenly......"

While they were talking, Yin Kaishan brought Lang Zhong over. Lang Zhong is in his thirties, surnamed Jia, and is a thin monkey with a somewhat yellowed donkey face, blistered eyes, and a few rat whiskers on his chin.

Li Zhiyun stood up to make way for the place, and Liu Wenjing took a pestle and put it next to the bed. Dr. Jia sat down on the pestle and began to look and ask, and the other three people stared at him nervously. After Dr. Jia finished the diagnosis, he stroked the rat whiskers and said slowly: "The prince feels malaria." ”

"Malaria?" When Yin Kaishan heard this, he hurriedly said, "You mean that the prince has malaria miasma?" ”

Malaria? Malaria miasma? Li Zhiyun had never heard of it. However, the medical terminology of the ancients may not be quite the same as that of the modern era. He thought for a moment and said, "Are you saying that my second brother has malaria?" Dr. Jia didn't understand his words, but said ambiguously: "Maybe." Then, still stroking the rat's whiskers, he said: "Su Wen Malaria Treatise says: Malaria is 'hidden in the skin, outside the stomach and intestines, and the place where this camp qi is located'. 'External evils can enter and malaria, every time they hide in half of the surface and half of the inside, they will be cold when they enter and compete with the yin, and they will be hot when they go out and fight with the yang......"

Li Zhiyun didn't have time to listen to him hanging his book bag, so he quickly interrupted him and said, "Doctor Jia, tell me quickly, how to treat this disease?" Dr. Jia stopped stroking the rat's whiskers and said, "It's very simple." The prince must leave the front line and find a place to recuperate, and Jia will then apply decoction and acupuncture, and he can be cured in ten months. ”

"Leaving the front?" When Ban Kaishan heard this, he was anxious, "No, the prince still has to command the war!" ”

Li Zhiyun was also angry when he heard it, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? My second brother is sick like this, how can he command the war? Yin Kaishan glanced at him and stopped squeaking.

The second brother waved his hand weakly and told them to stop fighting. Then let the soldiers next to him help him sit up, his lips trembling: "Liu Wenjing, Yin Kaishan, you two will command for me." Remember, if Xue Ju comes to challenge, be careful not to fight, and guard the camp. When I am well, I will defeat him for you. When Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan heard this, they both clasped their fists and said, "Obey!" ”

The second brother coughed violently again, and then gasped and said, "Fifth brother, help me get out of bed." Let my horse be brought over, and I will go back to the city of the high jaws. When Li Zhiyun heard this, he frowned and said, "Second brother, you are sick like this, how can you ride a horse?" He turned around and said to Zhang Zheng, who had been standing at the door: "Zhang Zheng, go find a stretcher." Zhang Zheng clenched his fists and agreed, turned around and walked away.

After a while, the stretcher arrived. Li Zhiyun asked people to spread the bedding on the stretcher, and helped the second brother to lie down on the stretcher, and then let his guards and the second brother's personal soldiers carry the stretcher out of Li Guangmiao and went straight to Gaoqi City.

After entering Gaojaw City, the second brother was placed in a mansion. Li Zhiyun also moved over from the post house in order to take care of the second brother.

As soon as Li Zhiyun settled down, he went to the second brother's house. He walked in and took a look, only to see the second brother lying on the bed, his face as if he had been coated with rouge. He hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and touched his second brother's forehead with his hand, my mother, it was as hot as a stove, at least forty degrees. The second brother was shivering just now, and now he is starting to have a fever again.

Li Zhiyun stood up, and just wanted to go out to get a basin of cold water to cool down his second brother, when Dr. Jia walked in. Li Zhiyun hurriedly said: "Doctor Jia, my second brother's forehead is hot and he has a high fever." Dr. Jia stroked the rat's whiskers, shook his head and said: "Yang heat is more abundant, and if there is less cold and more heat, it is warm malaria; Yang deficiency and cold are abundant, and those with more cold and less heat are cold malaria. If the heat is very cold, or even strong and not cold, it is a heat miasma......"

Li Zhiyun couldn't bear to interrupt him: "Doctor Jia, don't give me a medical certificate, it's important to treat my second brother quickly!" Doctor Jia stopped shaking his head and said, "King Chu is not in a hurry, Jia has already prescribed a few decoctions, and people are suffering." Jia first administered acupuncture to King Qin, and the fever could be reduced after a while. After that, he walked to the bed, took down the medicine box on his shoulder, took out the acupuncture box, and began to prick the second brother......

After Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan sent Li Shimin away, the two returned to Li Guangmiao. As soon as the two of them walked into the courtyard, a general walked over, clasped his fists and said, "Two adults, according to the scouts, Xue Ju's army has arrived, and it is stationed in Mangjie Mountain, ten miles away from here. ”

Liu Wenjing listened, nodded and said, "Got it." He turned his head to Yin Kaishan and said, "Since the prince is gone, let's stop living in this broken temple, let's move to the barracks, so that it is convenient to command the war." Yin Kaishan nodded and said, "Okay." ”

They moved the Chinese military tent to the camp. The next day, a general came to report, saying that Xue Ju had led his soldiers and horses to challenge and had arrived at the front of the camp. The two hurriedly left the Chinese military tent and climbed a watchtower. Liu Wenjing set up a pergola with his hand and looked into the distance, only to see a few miles away, the flag was waving, and the dust was flying. Xue Ju's army was arranged in a phalanx, with strict military discipline and a strong lineup, which was terrifying.

Liu Wenjing immediately ordered his own soldiers around him to blow the horn and tell the soldiers of each battalion to prepare to meet the enemy.

After about half a burnt of incense, the enemy army began to attack, and the shouts of soldiers and the neighing of war horses resounded through the clouds. The officers and men of the Tang Army responded calmly, held the camp, and shot the enemy with bows and crossbows.

Xue Ju's army was blocked by the Shenhao Fortress, and several attacks were broken and sunk, and he couldn't take a step beyond Lei Chi at all, so he had to withdraw his troops in the end.

Although he repelled the enemy's attack, Yin Kaishan felt that his side was cowering in the camp, which was too cowardly. After coming down from the watchtower, he said to Liu Wenjing: "The prince is worried that you can't retreat from the enemy, so he asked us to stick to the camp." Once the thieves know that the prince is sick, they will inevitably despise us. Therefore, we should show force to deter the thieves! Liu Wenjing listened, nodded, and said, "What you said is good." Tomorrow we will go to the shallow water plain to line up and engage the thieves. ”

After Xue Ju led the army back to the barracks, he walked into the Chinese military tent, took off his helmet, took off his armor, sat down in front of the desk, picked up the fragrant tea offered by his own soldiers, and thought about it while drinking tea.

Since Li Shimin defeated Xue Rengao in Fufeng County last time, he has captured the two cities of Gaoqi and Yiluchuan in one go. Xue Ju felt that if he didn't fight back, Li Shimin would eat his Qin State one bite at a time like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves.

Xue Ju knew that his son was not Li Shimin's opponent, so he personally led an army of more than 100,000 to challenge Li Shimin. But what he didn't expect was that Li Shimin was deep in the barrier and couldn't hold on, which made him helpless. It seems that this Li Shimin really lives up to his reputation and is a difficult opponent. He worked the expedition, and the advantage was to fight quickly, and Li Shimin immediately seized his soft threat. Xue Ju had a strong feeling that this time he might have to return in vain.

After breakfast the next day, Xue Ju was hesitating to go to the Tang military camp to challenge, when Xue Rengao and Luo Zonghu walked in. As soon as Xue Rengao saw him, he shouted: "Abba, good news, the Tang army is arranging troops in the shallow water plain. Xue Ju didn't understand, and was confused: "What did you say?" Xue Rengao had no choice but to explain in detail: "Abba, the Tang army has left the camp and lined up in the shallow water plain southwest of Gaojaw City, and wants to fight with us. ”

Xue Ju listened, but instead of a trace of surprise, he was suspicious: Li Shimin left the camp? How is this possible? What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?

"Could this be a trap set by Li Shimin for us?" Xue Ju muttered to himself.

Luo Zonghu on the side hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general recently sent a fine worker to blend into the Tang army, according to the news he sent back, Li Shimin was in an emergency, and handed over the command to Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan. When Xue Ju heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is this news accurate?" ”

"It's true!"

I see! Xue Ju was in a panic, and suddenly felt that a stone in his heart fell to the ground. He hurriedly ordered: "You two go back and gather the army, and follow me over to have a look!" Xue Ju put on his armor under the service of his own soldiers, walked out of the tent, stepped on his war horse, and led the army to the shallow water plain.
