Chapter 462: Reinforcing the Border Pass
After Tao Ziyun said that, he put away his more than 1,000 bean soldiers, let go of Lao Jun, and then left the Heavenly Palace without looking back, and did not go to the border to inspect the situation, but went straight back to the Tao Mansion in the capital.
The situation at the border gate was only reported to the capital a few days later.
One morning, the emperor discussed countermeasures with his ministers and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the Huanfang State attacked my Daqing Caodi Pass, the grassland guard Ning Yuan was defeated and took Qiaofeng City, and the original defender of Qiaofeng City went to Zhou Leek to defend Qiaofeng City desperately, so that he could wait for reinforcements to come over for reinforcements. Prince Jin and the two generals He went to reinforce in the past, and they killed many officers and soldiers, but they did not recapture Caodi Pass. Even if they sent Ling Rongjin to give them advice, it didn't have much effect, and they asked Zuo Zongtang to help. Yesterday I received a report from them, saying that when Zuo Zongtang was in the past, Prince Jin was hit by a sledgehammer, and one of the enemy generals was also hit by a sledgehammer. After that battle, they retreated to the city of Bridge and Wind, hung up the free battle card, and the other party did not come to attack the city. After the enemy was hit by a sledgehammer, he had already died on the spot, and Prince Jin, who returned to Qiaofeng City, was treated by a medical officer, but it had no great effect, Prince Jin was already dying, and those generals had prepared a coffin for Prince Jin, and the funeral was coming. So far, what are the countermeasures of Aiqing?"
After listening to the emperor's description, the civil and military ministers in the hall looked at each other and did not say a word.
After Tao Ziyun pondered for a while, he made a request to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although Prince Jin was guilty of corruption and perversion of the law when he was doing housework, after all, he has experienced a hundred battles, he is an elder who was born as a military general, and he is also the main general who regains the border pass, he can't die like this, he dies like this." It will be a big blow to the morale of the soldiers. Weichen had a request, asking the emperor to choose an imperial doctor with the best medical skills to go to Qiaofeng City to cure Prince Jin, so that they could work together to recover Caodi Pass. ”
The emperor calmly replied: "It is not difficult to choose the best imperial doctor, but Prince Jin is too seriously injured, and I am afraid that when the imperial doctor arrives at Qiaofeng City, Prince Jin will already die of anger." ”
Tao Ziyun still demanded very firmly: "Your Majesty, it's always good to try." ”
"Okay, let's try it then. The emperor finally changed his tone and instructed the eunuchs beside him: "Spread my will." Quickly select a royal doctor with the best medical skills. ”
A eunuch left in response, and the emperor said to Tao Ziyun: "Originally, the two generals He and Ling Rongjin wanted you to give them advice, but it was only because Prince Jin had a holiday with you that he didn't agree with you to work with them, so you recommended Zuo Zongtang to the border pass to help." Now that Prince Jin is dying, he has no way to object to your past, this time to send the imperial doctor to Bridge Wind City, you will personally go out!"
"Weichen commands!" Tao Ziyun readily accepted the emperor's will.
The emperor has not forgotten and continued to consult Tao Ziyun's opinion: "In addition to bringing the imperial doctor, how many officers and soldiers does Tao Aiqing want to bring with him?"
Tao Ziyun solemnly asked: "Just take the imperial doctor and go on the road alone." Let the imperial doctor take the carriage, I will personally drive the carriage, there are few people to hurry, and the injury of Prince Jin cannot be delayed. ”
"Okay, that's it!" the emperor was so excited that he praised Tao Ziyun. "It's fast and easy to travel like this, and I'm afraid that you'll have to take thousands of officers and soldiers on the road, and I'll have to increase my military pay a lot. Someone's coming. Prepare a carriage for Tao Aiqing!"
As he spoke, the eunuch had already hurriedly brought a middle-aged imperial doctor to the top of the main hall.
When the imperial doctor came to the main hall, he bowed to the emperor: "The imperial doctor Xue Buzhi sees the emperor." Long live the emperor, long live!"
The emperor said to Xue Buzhi succinctly: "I won't be verbose, you can go on the road with Tao Aiqing! If there is any problem, Tao Aiqing is responsible for explaining it to you." ”
At Tao Ziyun's signal, Xue Buzhi followed Tao Ziyun out of the Jinluan Palace. Outside the hall, Xue Buzhi sat in the carriage prepared for them by the emperor, and Tao Ziyun personally drove the carriage and galloped all the way!
Xue Buzhi asked anxiously in the carriage: "Lord Tao, I heard the eunuch say that the emperor asked me to go to the border to treat the injured Prince Jin, but I rushed on the road like this, there was nothing in the carriage, I didn't bring medical equipment and medicinal materials, how to treat my injuries when I arrived at the border pass?"
Tao Ziyun said to Xue Buzhi lightly: "It doesn't matter, there are also medical officers in Qiaofeng City, and they also have medical tools and medicinal materials, but their medical skills are not as clever as yours, so you can come with me with confidence!"
Xue Buzhi still muttered worriedly: "If there is medicine now, I will drink a little anti-fainting medicine myself, and if the road is bumpy, I will faint." ”
Then you can sleep in it, and you won't faint when you fall asleep. Tao Ziyun made an inspiration and used immortal techniques, causing Xue Buzhi in the carriage to fall asleep immediately.
Tao Ziyun thought that he couldn't keep driving the carriage to the border like this, so as not to spend many days. He had to hurry, he had to use immortal arts, and even flew to the border with the carriage. If he flew over, this mortal imperial doctor would be surprised, so he would simply let this imperial doctor fall asleep, fly to the border and let him wake up, it would be much easier.
Tao Ziyun drove the carriage to a place where there was no one, used the flying immortal technique, and flew straight to the bridge wind city.
When he came to Qiaofeng City, Tao Ziyun shouted to the officers and soldiers on the city wall: "Soldiers on the city tower, go and report to your main general, just say that Tao Ziyun is coming!"
Some of the officers and soldiers on the city wall went down, Tao Ziyun waited quietly outside the city gate, and he also asked the imperial doctor Xue Bu to wake up.
"It's already here!?" Xue Buzhi poked his head out of the carriage, his mind was confused, "Look at my sleepiness, I've slept for so long!"
Of course, Tao Ziyun didn't need to explain too clearly to Xue Buzhi, he just relieved the imperial doctor and said: "It's better to sleep for a long time! ”
"Yiqiē obeyed Lord Tao's orders. Xue Buzhi also made a plan in his heart, Tao Ziyun asked him to only treat his injuries, and in this place where the war was fought, he didn't have to worry about killing the enemy, after all, he was just a weak imperial doctor.
At this time, the city gate opened, and a large group of people poured out, and the He brothers, Ling Rongjin, Li Bao, and Zuo Zongtang rode in front: "Master Tao, you finally came to help us!"
Tao Ziyun drove the carriage over, and replied heartily: "Haha! I'm here! But I hope you can defeat the enemy without my help!" (To be continued......)
