Chapter 39 Helping the World and Saving People
Ban Lin led the army to meet the eight hundred elite soldiers led by Shi Chaoyi in Baoji County, west of Yangping Pass, and without saying a word, he directly covered up the killing, which was an order of the Tang Dynasty.
Shi Chaoyi caught up with An Qingxu unknowingly, and during this period of time, he actually hid day and night, and finally caught up with An Qingxu, and was looking for an excellent place to ambush, but encountered Banlin's army.
Although Shi Chaoyi was brave, he had no choice but to have too few troops, so he had to fight and leave and retreat to Xuzhou.
Fortunately, his 800 men were all cavalry, and Ban Lin couldn't catch up, so he had to give up.
An Qingxu first presented a long gift list, and Li Bai personally handed it over to the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Chao glanced at it and immediately changed his face.
The contents of this gift list are: 100,000 taels of gold, 50 strings of pearls, 7 agate, and 1 wall.
The list listed in detail the provenance of these things, how to use them, etc., and the Tang Dynasty did not look at it much, and ordered: "Announce him in!" ”
After a short time, An Qingxu, who had a fat head and big ears, came to the hall and knelt down with a plop: "Thank you, Your Majesty, if it weren't for your rescue, the little one would have died." ”
He naturally thanked the Tang Dynasty to the extreme.
In troubled times, money is something outside the body, and nothing compares to life. An Qingxu naturally knows this.
Tang Chao looked at An Qingxu, who was prostrate at his feet, and personally helped him up: "Your Highness, please get up." ”
An Qingxu burst into tears and choked up: "Your Majesty, I won't say much if I thank you, in short, as long as it is your send, I will not disobey it in the future." ”
At that moment, the Tang Dynasty asked about the ferocity of the epidemic in An Lushan's army, and he was greatly surprised, but at the same time deeply rejoicing. If you are a little late, you may have caught up with this unprecedented plague.
No one can underestimate the tremendous destructive power of the plague, the Tang Dynasty knew very well that in the face of the great power of nature, people, sometimes quite small, even a person like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, in the end, wouldn't they have to turn into a piece of loess?
What the Tang Dynasty wanted was An Qingxu's words. Through these contacts, the Tang Dynasty has a general understanding of An Qingxu's temperament, this person's martial arts are good, but he is timid and afraid of death, and he will play some cleverness, and he has cultivated some political consciousness in the battle of the court for a long time. For example, this time, Shi Siming made it clear that he wanted to frame An Qingxu, and this kid was not stupid, so he obediently offered his head to his opponent and simply took refuge in himself.
It's a live move. Either way, save your life first.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, since I promised to help you, I must really help, and I can't let Shi Siming frame you!"
The Tang Dynasty comforted the tearful prince again.
"Your Majesty, I can't go back to my father, please take me in, I will make you a cow and a horse in the future, and I must repay Your Majesty's kindness!" An Qingxu suddenly heard that Tang Dynasty had the intention of asking him to go back, so he was so frightened that he knelt down again, and tears gushed out again.
Tang Chao smiled and said: "Master, Prince An is so sad, only you can treat it, please show up!" ”
With the voice of the Tang Dynasty, an old man with silver hair slowly walked into the hall, a fairy wind bone, fluttering out of the dust, it was Sun Simiao, the king of medicine.
An Qingxu suddenly stopped crying, looked at the old man in front of him, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that you are the predecessor of the medicine king?" ”
Tang Chao smiled: "Exactly." ”
An Qingxu suddenly understood what the Tang Dynasty meant, that is, he wanted him to bring the medicine king to treat the plague and fight for his position in the An army.
Sun Simiao helped An Qingxu up, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you make this great gift, how can you be old?" ”
An Qingxu said: "If you can invite the predecessors of the Medicine King to treat the disease, it will be the blessing of my Dayan Dynasty." ”
At this time, he was already thinking in his heart, as long as he invited the medicine king, he would definitely get rid of the disease. At that time, his great achievement can be compared with Sun Xiaozhe, who captured Luoyang at that time, and only greater, because it may save the entire Dayan army from dispersing.
Everyone knows that if the plague continues to disperse, not only will Li Longji's troops be close to collapse, but also An Lushan. I can really make a contribution this time, and it is certain that I will inherit the throne of Emperor Dayan in the future, which is well deserved, and no one dares to object.
Sun Simiao shook his head, looked at An Qingxu, seemed to have insight into his heart, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, you don't have to thank me, the old man is born a good doctor, studying medical skills, tirelessly, unconsciously, lived for more than a hundred years, the only word in his heart is a 'benevolence', such a disaster fell from heaven, as a doctor, I can't ignore the common people in the world, so it is my responsibility to practice medicine, that is, the prince does not invite the old man, as long as there is still a breath, of course the old man will go to help the world and save people." ”
When Tang Chao heard this, a trace of guilt suddenly flashed in his heart.
During this time, he tried his best to take the master to the Chang'an Palace, in addition to the idea of filial piety, in fact, he still wanted him not to care about the suffering of the world, and after this period of time, Li Longji and An Lushan's army was seriously reduced, and when the time came, he would level the Central Plains in one fell swoop.
"Master, I will send an army of 100,000 to personally escort you to Xuzhou." The Tang Dynasty hastened to make up for its mistakes.
Sun Simiao glanced at him meaningfully and said, "No need. Although my previous skills have been passed on to you, but I have practiced martial arts diligently over the years, and I have a lot of experience, and the little thief can't hurt me in the slightest. ”
The Tang Dynasty was overjoyed, he knew that the master fought through the world's martial arts, as long as he cultivated the general internal force, he could already be regarded as a master, seeing his light steps and red face, he immediately let go of a lot of heart, but after all, he still sent Huang Junyan, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, to lead a group of subordinates, loaded countless herbs, and followed Sun Simiao west out of Yangping Pass to save people.
Along the way, no matter how big or small, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and in the end, Rondo was sent to lead an army of 50,000 to escort Sun Simiao to Xuzhou.
When he pressed the suburbs to say goodbye, An Qingxu hugged Tang Chao again and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, no matter what you think of me, anyway, my life An Qingxu will be yours in the future, I will be your minister, and I will never betray you!" ”
At that moment, he broke the long sword at his waist with his own hands to make an oath.
The Tang Dynasty deeply praised: "I believe in the sincerity of His Highness, and in the future, you and I will become one and create a big world!" ”
……
There were also important ministers in the court, Li Bai, Shewa, Zhuan Xin and others naturally followed the Tang Dynasty, and they were very respectful to Sun Simiao's master Tai.
Li Bai was the first to speak: "Master Tai's compassionate heart is indeed commendable, but he should know that his departure is tantamount to strengthening our enemies, doesn't it cause us chaos?" ”
Sheva nodded with Zhuan Xin and looked at Tang Chao: "What the minister said is extremely true, Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, this is called a capital enemy, we must stop it!" ”
Tang Chao was silent, and only replied after a while: "In the early years, my meridians were hit hard, and it was the master who saved me with his peerless skills, and he also lost his skills for decades, and cheapened me in vain. ”
After Tang Dynasty said this, he drove back to the palace first, leaving Li Bai, Shewa and Zhuan Xin looking at each other.
Sheva said: "Your Excellency, I think Your Majesty does not want to bear the charge of disrespect and ingratitude, so I have to reluctantly agree. ”
The letter hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Prime Minister, Your Majesty must be very unhappy in your heart. Saving those people doesn't mean saving An Lushan and Li Longji, and it will only bring us a great threat? ”
Li Bai was overjoyed, he began to use words to provoke the Tang Dynasty, just to get the approval of these two important ministers, and hurriedly said: "Stop Master Tai from going north to Xuzhou, since Your Majesty is unwilling to do it, then it must be done by the three of us, you two rest assured, when the time comes, I will naturally delay Londo's troops under various excuses." ”
Sheva and Zhuan Xin were overjoyed when they heard it: "The minister sees that as long as he is three or four days late, the plague will definitely get out of control, and then slowly send Master Tai to Xuzhou, which can be described as the best of both worlds." ”
……
During the march, Rondo suddenly fell ill and had a high fever, and Sun Simiao gave him all kinds of medicinal stones, but there was still no effect.
Rondo was the commander in chief of this large army, and he was all sick, so the troops were naturally on standby.
Naturally, Rondo's "strange illness" occurred immediately after receiving Li Bai's instructions.
In this way, before the army had passed Xianyang, it had been delayed for a day and a night.
In the early morning of the second day, Sun Simiao looked at Rondo very angrily: "General, what do you mean by pretending to be sick like this and playing with the old man?" ”
At this time, Sun Simiao's silver needles were still inserted in Rondo's head, and as long as he moved slightly, he could take the life of this cunning boy.
With Sun Simiao's medical skills, what can be hidden from his strange illness in the world?
Rondo was originally a rough man, and after this question, he had to make all the moves.
Sun Simiao listened quietly, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as it's not the meaning of the Tang Dynasty." I thought that after so many years, he had completely forgotten all the oath to save the people. ”
An Qingxu was overjoyed and quickly begged Rondo to send troops immediately to return to Xuzhou within three days. Of course, he can't forget the three-day round-trip deadline given to him by Shi Siming, which is a matter of his head.
Londo immediately sent troops, rushed to Xuzhou day and night, and turned back ten miles away from Xuzhou to report back to the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty got the news in the Daming Palace, Li Bai actually privately ordered Long Duo to pretend to be sick, delaying Sun Simiao to go to Xuzhou for treatment, and was furious, and ordered the former official of the palace to quickly pass the three people into the palace.
Li Bai was worried about Rondo's disobedience to his orders, and suddenly received a call from the Tang Dynasty, and immediately knew that the Tang Dynasty had already known about the good things he had done, and he hurriedly put his illness away.
