Chapter 739 I really want to thank Mrs. Tong (2 more)
The victory in the previous battle had already boosted the morale of the Qi army, and the delivery of gunpowder pushed everyone's emotions to a climax. Everyone wanted to take the initiative to ask for a fight and go out to clear out the Xirong people who were still in Juzhou.
All the medicinal materials shipped with the gunpowder were given to the military doctors. Now the kitchen cooks several pots of medicinal tea for everyone to drink every day. A lot of anthelmintics are sprinkled around the military tent, and various ointments are also distributed to the soldiers.
Possibly make everyone's life more comfortable.
Over the past few days, the most common words heard in the military camp were:
"Hurry up and blow up that broken cave so we can go back early."
"Isn't that right? Even if there is medicine sent by Mrs. Tong, this is really not a place for people."
"Everyone needs to heal his wounds and take a rest. After we recharge our batteries, we can wipe out those Xirong people in one fell swoop!"
"Don't tell me, the herbal tea sent by Prince Rui's Mansion this time is really effective. I drank it for a few days and I feel much lighter."
"That's right, I always felt that my body was heavy and I couldn't lift my energy. After drinking herbal tea for a few days, my energy and energy improved."
"You don't know this, right? I heard that the medicines sent by the palace this time are all prepared according to Lady Tong's prescriptions, and the effects are naturally good!"
"No, there are still people who don't know who Mrs. Tong is?" Someone shouted in a fuss, "Previously, the young leader Jia Lin of the Wuman tribe was seriously ill, and our general and Mr. Yan were trapped in Juzhou City. It was Mrs. Tong who went to rescue Jia Lin.
Young Master Lin rescued the general and Mr. Yan."
"That's right, we were able to get help from the Wuman tribe this time because Lady Tong saved Young Master Jialin's life!"
"Then I really have to thank Madam Tong!"
"Isn't it?"
The most popular thing among the doctors accompanying the army was the golden sore medicine that was sent together.
Nowadays, the weather is hot and humid, and the environment in the mountains is also very difficult. The wounds of the soldiers are not easy to heal.
But the effect of the golden sore medicine delivered this time was surprisingly good.
Not only does it heal wounds faster than the original medicine used in the military, but it also contains pain-relieving medicinal materials, which greatly reduces the pain of the injured.
Several doctors were so excited that they praised everyone they met, but they did not dare to mention it in front of Qi Zihao.
After all, the medicine was sent by Li Zian. Anyone who has been with Qi Zihao for a long time knows that the one he dislikes the most is the prince of Prince Rui's palace.
But the sharp-eyed Yan Laosan discovered that not only was Qi Zihao not angry this time, he even secretly stood outside the military doctor's tent several times, listening to a group of people inside praising the medicine delivered this time, with a smile on his face.
A faint smile.
In the evening, the spies from the front sent back information, and they had basically figured out the location and lair of the Xirong people. Sure enough, it was not far from the foot of the mountain.
The two of them spread out the map in the military tent and observed the terrain.
Yan Laosan pointed to a location and said: "Based on the prisoner's account and the spies' report, the secret passage in the mountain should be at this location.
"The Xirong people have their base camp here. Once we attack, whether they retreat into the secret passage to escape or come to support from the secret passage, it will be very detrimental to us."
"We have to find a way to cut off their connection with the secret passage, so that we can completely free up our hands and feet to deal with these little | leprous guys!"
Yan Laosan thought for a moment and said: "If you send someone to sneak into the secret passage with gunpowder, blow up a section first to temporarily separate the two sides..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Zihao objected: "No, the secret passage is now their lifeline. Whether it is reinforcements or food and grass, they have to be transported through the secret passage, so they will definitely be strictly guarded.
"It's difficult to sneak in with gunpowder, and it's easy to reveal in advance that we're going to use gunpowder."
As Qi Zihao spoke, he kept pointing at the location on the map with his hand, and said to himself: "The idea of using gunpowder is right, but we have to come up with a perfect strategy, and we have to hit it with one hit.
"Otherwise, not only will it not be effective, it will become a failure."
The two of them stared at the map from afternoon to night. Qi Zihao's long hair was messed up by himself, but he couldn't even think of a middle or best solution, let alone a perfect solution.
While the two people here were meditating hard on the map, Li Zian, who was far away in Prince Rui's Mansion, was also looking at the map with the light on.
This secret passage must be sealed, otherwise Juzhou will become the back garden of the Xirong people in the future, and they can come and leave as they please.
But he has never been able to figure out the purpose of the Xirong people coming to Juzhou.
He suddenly remembered that Qi Zihao mentioned in the battle report that many prisoners of Xirong were captured this time, and he wondered if he could get some details from it.
Thinking of this, Li Zian immediately took out the letter paper, dipped in ink and licked the pen, preparing to write a letter.
As soon as he started writing Qi Zihao's name, there was a knock on the study door.
"An'er." Princess Rui came in with a stew pot and said, "I'm still awake so late."
"Mom, why are you here?" Li Zian quickly put down the map and stood up, taking the stew pot and placing it on the table.
"I heard that you haven't slept yet, so I asked someone to stew bird's nests today, so I'll bring you one. The official business can't be completed in one day. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow. After eating, go and have a rest early."
Li Zian helped Princess Rui sit down and said, "Is there something on your mind that keeps you awake?"
"Actually, I can't tell you what's bothering you. I just see that your dad is obviously getting better, but why can't he wake up?"
Princess Rui sighed as she spoke. She understood that illness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread, but after a long time, she would inevitably feel a little tired.
"It's been so hot lately, why don't you let Zihan accompany your grandmother and you to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat and take a breather?"
Li Zian's proposal really made Princess Rui very excited, especially if she went with the concubine, she would not arouse any criticism.
But she was still very hesitant. After all, she had hardly left Prince Rui since he was injured and fell into a coma. Now that she suddenly went out to relax, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy...
"Mom, Dad has been ill for such a long time, and you are the one who has the most trouble in the family. There is nothing wrong with going out for a walk.
"People are like lining up a bow to shoot an arrow. They need to relax to a certain extent. If you keep tightening it, it will eventually break.
"There are so many people taking care of dad, and I'm here, so everything will be fine."
Princess Rui was finally persuaded by her son. She nodded and then made a request: "Okay, but I'd better ask Miss Shen to come and give the prince a follow-up consultation first. Otherwise, I won't be able to feel at ease even if I go out."
"What's the problem? Mother can just find an excuse tomorrow and go to Shen's house to pick him up."
As Li Zian spoke, he unconsciously closed his hands. Thinking of Shen Tianshu's comforting pats and her weak, boneless hands that day, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
