Man Bao was not comforted at all. She glanced at Zhao Guogong and asked, "Are you threatened?"
Zhao Guogong shook his head, "No one can resist the progress of the army." If there is, that person must be the emperor.
Man Bao withdrew his gaze and said to him: "General manager, Bai Shan told me the day before yesterday that he had refuted your face on the battlefield and wanted to apologize to you. I see that you have not looked very good recently.
, I will ask someone to make a bowl of tonic soup and send it to you later."
Duke Zhao subconsciously touched his face and asked, "Does your face look bad?"
Then he waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "It's not a big deal, but Mr. Zhou still wants to advise Mr. Bai. In the future, you must do your best to save people. And on the battlefield, kindness is the most important thing."
Man Bao said calmly: "He doesn't command troops."
Zhao Guogong shook his head and said, "I, the Prince of Jin, who can pick up a pen when dismounting and kill the enemy when mounted? Bai Shan will be the governor in the future, right? If he has good official luck, he may also be a military envoy. Who doesn't need to command an army?"
Different from the literati in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the literati in the Jin Dynasty had their own heroic spirit, and being able to mount a horse and fight was a basic requirement. Who, like Wei Zhi, Lord Tang, or Feng Shangshu, had never been on the battlefield and commanded soldiers and horses?
Even Liu Shangshu used to follow the army to raise supplies, but from time to time he was robbed by the enemy, or he led others to rob the enemy.
Man Bao was choked for a moment, and after a while he nodded and said, "You're right. When he comes back, we need to let him work harder on martial arts and riding and shooting."
Zhao Guogong said: "These are all trivial ways. The most important thing is to be ruthless and learn some military skills along the way. However, what you learn in books may not be useful. It would be better to fight two more battles."
When Zhao Guogong said this, his heart moved. Bai Shan could block his sword, which showed that he still had some skills, so he wanted to recruit people to the ranks of military generals. If he joined the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War asked the Ministry of Households for money in the future, there would be people who started to quarrel with each other.
Already.
So he became enthusiastic and said to Zhou Man: "Treat the wound on his hand well, and I will take him to the battlefield when Anshi City comes down."
He said: "The Ministry of War is much better than the other five departments."
Manbao:……
She had to change the soup for Zhao Guogong.
Duke Zhao received a bowl of extremely bitter tonic soup. The soldier who came over with the soup said cautiously: "General manager, Mr. Zhou said, this medicine is very valuable. The army managed to save it. Please drink it slowly."
Zhao Guogong looked at the dark soup and frowned, "What are the pieces in here?"
"Meat!" said the soldier, "so this is medicinal food, not even medicine, it is very valuable."
Being repeatedly stressed that it was precious, it was difficult for Duke Zhao not to eat. He swallowed and asked, "I wonder if there is any extra. I see that His Majesty's face looks very tired."
The soldier said: "No, just a small jar, and Mr. Zhou has said that this medicinal meal is specially cooked for you, and it is based on your physical condition. Your Majesty may not be suitable for it."
Duke Zhao became even more suspicious, suspecting that Zhou Man was seeking revenge for his own personal vengeance. There were many reasons. It might be because his sword broke Bai Shan's tiger's mouth, or it might be because he said he would not be threatened by Goguryeo because of Bai Shan.
Anyway, there are many reasons.
In terms of relationship... Hey, they seem to have a pretty good relationship.
At least it's much better than Ashina, Qibi Heli and others. The people we usually don't see each other are relatives.
Thinking of this, Duke Zhao reached out to take the bowl, took a sip, and almost spit it out.
The soldier still looked at him with envy.
Zhao Guogong ate a bowl of medicinal food with difficulty. It was not bitter at all. The taste could not be described in words. Moreover, the piece of meat was not delicious. The gravy tasted like medicine and there was no pleasure in eating meat at all.
Duke Guo of Zhao gave the bowl to the soldiers, turned around and left.
The soldier shouted from behind, "General Manager, Mr. Zhou wants you to drink more water."
During the discussion, the emperor couldn't help but look at Zhao Guogong's face, and others also looked at him quietly.
Zhao Guogong raised his head to look at them. He couldn't hold it back, but he couldn't hold it back and asked, "Your Majesty, have you behaved inappropriately?"
The emperor withdrew his gaze and said seriously: "No, I just see that your face is not very good, brother. Are you too tired recently? Why don't you slow down the attack? Bai Shan is on an envoy, so give him some time."
"No," Zhao Guogong said immediately: "If we stop attacking at this time, we will only harm him."
General Ashina also said: "We can postpone it, but we cannot stop it."
Zhao Guogong touched his face and asked darkly: "Does my face look ugly?"
The emperor was speechless, and General Ashina said tactfully: "It's not very ugly, but I heard that Mr. Zhou specially made a tonic soup for Zhao Guogong..."
Then you should only drink tonic soup when you are weak to a certain extent, right?
It was him who fought continuously for two days and one night. After coming down, he only received injections for two days and did not need to drink any medicine.
Qibi Heli glanced at Zhao Guogong, glanced up and down at him vaguely, straightened his back with some pride, and raised his chin by two points.
Zhao Guogong: ...I'm so angry. His reputation was harmed. He would have known better not to eat that bowl of tonic soup.
He didn't want to face them here, so he raised his hand and clenched his fist and said, "Your Majesty, please go out to fight and capture East Third Street."
The emperor became more serious, pondered for a moment and then asked: "Would attacking at this time be detrimental to Bai Shan?"
Zhao Guogong said: "Bai Shan should have arrived there at this time, but if the Goguryeo people want to frighten him, they will definitely not see him right away. This battle is just the right time for me to give him a greeting card."
The emperor thought for a while, nodded, and warned: "Take it slow and let them know our sincerity."
"Yes." Zhao Guogong took the order and left, and soon led the people out of the camp to go to the city. When he was leaving the camp, he happened to meet Zhou Man leading a group of students who had just returned from the prisoner camp for a follow-up visit, so he stopped
Ma looked at Zhou Man and said, "Master Zhou, I remember your medicine."
Man Bao said with a smile: "General manager, you will know the magical effects of this medicine when you come back from the battle. I will not harm you."
Zhao Guogong snorted. Of course he knew that Zhou Man would not harm him, but it was true that he deliberately made the soup so unpleasant and made others laugh at him.
Duke Guo of Zhao led his troops into the city.
Watching groups of soldiers and horses passing by, Zhou Liru was a little worried, "Sister-in-law, my uncle is at the enemy camp. Will he be okay if they send troops at this time?"
Man Bao looked quietly in the direction of the city and said, "Just slow down the attack. This can be regarded as a stepping stone for Bai Shan. Otherwise, we won't know when we will see people."
At this time, Bai Shan was standing in front of a courtyard, surrounded by people coming and going. Some people coming out of the house and passing by him would look at him, and some people coming into the house from the outside would look at him as well.
Bai Shan just stood in the yard with a smile, straightening his sleeves leisurely, occasionally looking at the scenery in the yard, not in a hurry.
It's not like June or July, when the sun is at its strongest, so he's not afraid of standing. He can grow taller in the sun right now.
