When Qiao'er heard Long Chen's voice, she immediately turned back and ran over, wiping her eyes and said, "Sir, can my husband come back?"
Long Chen said with great certainty: "Yes!"
Qiaoer burst into laughter and said happily: "Thank you, sir!"
Zhang Qian quickly advised: "Sir, during the confrontation in front of the battle, hundreds of thousands of troops fought in melee. It is impossible for us to find a husband for her alone."
Bai Tingting also advised: "Sir, I know you pity her, but you can't abolish public service for personal reasons. If we find a husband for her alone and the war ends, how will we explain to the court?"
Wu Xiangyun also felt that it was inappropriate and advised: "My lord, please think twice."
For the sake of a poor woman, regardless of the victory or defeat of hundreds of thousands of troops, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Seeing the objections of the three men, Qiaoer knelt down and begged in tears: "Please three generals, please save my husband."
Bai Tingting said helplessly: "It's not that we won't save your husband, but there are hundreds of thousands of people. How can we save him?"
Long Chen said: "I can save your husband, but you have to listen to me."
Everyone looked at Long Chen in surprise, is there really a way?
Qiaoer quickly said: "As long as I can save my husband, I can do anything you want me to do."
Long Chen said: "Okay, you follow me back to the military camp, and come with me to the front line to find your husband."
"Xiangyun, take her with you."
Wu Xiangyun was confused. He ignored hundreds of thousands of troops for a woman. This was not Long Chen's style.
Qiaoer hesitated for a while and said, "Sir, I want to go back home first and then go."
The child is still at home, and Qiaoer can't let go.
Long Chen said: "Xiangyun, take her back and then bring her back to the military camp."
Wu Xiangyun was confused and couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
Pulling Qiaoer onto the horse, Wu Xiangyun took her back to Jiangtou Town.
Bai Tingting didn't understand and asked: "Sir, you are not like this usually, why are you acting so energetically this time?"
Long Chen said: "I will give you fifty cavalry and two days to search around for a woman like Qiao'er."
"Tell them that as long as they get to the front line, I will ensure that they find their husbands and there will be a reward of ten taels of silver."
Bai Tingting was even more confused and asked: "Why are you like this?"
Zhang Qian seemed to understand and said: "Sir, do you want to win people's hearts?"
Help the poor woman find her husband, help her child find her father, and help her mother find her son. This is a good opportunity to win people's hearts.
If you can't retrieve it before the battle, you can pass the responsibility on to Jing Tianlie, and Long Chen will not bear the bad reputation.
Bai Tingting nodded, feeling that she had figured it out, and said, "Sir, that's a good idea. I'll go right away."
After ordering fifty cavalry, Bai Tingting immediately went to find someone.
Long Chen took Zhang Qian and the remaining soldiers back to the military camp.
Back at the camp, Wu Jian hurried over and asked, "Is your lord okay?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, there was a little incident, the hot spring didn't finish soaking, I was busy all night."
"The army will camp on the spot and rest for two more days. I will take a nap."
Wu Jian ordered the army to rest for another two days.
Jade Buddha Pass.
Jiang Lin entered Jing Tianlie's room and said: "General, Long Chengen's army stopped near Jiangtou Town and camped on the spot. There has been no movement for two days."
Jing Tianlie felt strange, why Long Chen didn't move?
"No other action?"
Jiang Lin replied: "Yes, he sent cavalry everywhere to attack our food collection team. Several county towns were breached, and he even arrested women everywhere and brought them to the military camp."
Jing Tianlie sneered and said: "You will never change your nature. You will visit brothels in the filthy harem of the capital, and then go out to catch girls from good families having sex."
"Send Houqi to keep an eye on them. This Long Chengen is full of tricks and we have to guard against him."
"The food collection team has taken it back. Don't go out. We have enough food and grass to last for two years."
Although Li Yuanying died, 5 million silver had arrived and there was still enough food and grass.
"What did Xixia say? Is there any reply?"
The support from Nanliang has come to an end, and the only one Jing Tianlie can count on now is Xixia.
Jiang Lin shook his head and said: "Without a reply, it may be difficult for Xixia to take action. Long Chengen has a good relationship with Tianxiahui, and Tianxiahui has a good relationship with Xixia. My subordinates guess that Xixia will not send troops."
Long Chen is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the World Association is doing business and making money, and this is known to the whole world.
Long Chen is like the God of Wealth of the Tianxiahui, and the Tianxiahui will definitely mediate between them.
Jing Tianlie felt distraught. He had many enemies in his life, some were as strong as Long Ye and some were vicious, but this was the first time he encountered someone as difficult as Long Chen.
"How's the poisoning going?"
Just yesterday, many soldiers showed symptoms of fatigue and vomiting, and Jing Tianlie discovered that the soldiers had been poisoned by Li Yuanying.
Jing Tianlie scolded him for a long time, saying that Li Yuanying died unjustly and actually poisoned hundreds of thousands of troops. He was extremely ambitious, shameless and dishonest.
He even suspected that Li Yuanying and Long Chen were colluding.
"Those poisons are not fatal, but they are difficult to cure. The Imperial City Division likes to use mixed poisons. My subordinates have found many military doctors and are preparing medicines to relieve the symptoms."
Jiang Lin called in almost all the doctors he could find around him, and the soldier's condition began to improve.
It seems that Li Yuanying did not intend to poison the soldiers, but only wanted to make them lose their combat effectiveness.
Jing Tianlie said with a headache: "Fortunately, Long Chengen stopped. If we attack at this time, how will we fight!"
"In two days, the antidote must be prepared. I will guard the east gate of Jade Buddha Pass. Long Cheng'en must not be allowed to make a sneak attack."
Jiang Lin bowed and said, "I obey my orders!"
Jiangtou Town Military Camp.
Long Chen took a good nap, came out of the Chinese army tent, walked to a deserted place and peed.
After fastening his belt, he saw Feng He coming out.
"How's it going over there at Jade Buddha Pass?"
Feng He said: "The poison administered by Li Yuanying has taken effect. The symptoms are not serious, just fatigue and vomiting. Why don't you attack now?"
For individuals, fatigue and vomiting are not a big problem.
But for the military, this is fatal.
If the soldiers don't have the strength to vomit, then why fight? This is an excellent opportunity to attack.
Long Chen said: "It turns out that this is what I planned, but now I have changed my mind."
The original plan was like this, wait for the Sedum to be poisoned, and then kill them all at once, and the war will be overwhelming.
Feng He smiled and said: "Because Jing Tianlie's recruits are innocent people around him, right? Your Excellency doesn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Long Chen said: "Yes, these soldiers have old mothers, wives and children waiting for them to return home."
What he saw in Jiangtou Town changed Long Chen's mind. Soldiers also have families.
Feng He reminded: "But sir, fighting on the battlefield is ruthless. Why do you do this?"
Long Chen said: "The heaven and the earth are unkind and treat all living things like cud dogs. The saints are unkind and treat all peoples as cud dogs. I know the principle of one general's success and the death of ten thousand people."
"But have you ever thought about it, if hundreds of thousands are killed in this battle, the area around Jade Buddha Pass will be empty, and who will defend Xixia in the future?"
Feng He remained silent.
Feng He looked at victory and defeat from the perspective of a general, while Long Chen looked at victory and defeat from the perspective of a country. Their positions were at different heights.
"What do you plan to do, sir?"
Long Chen sighed and said, "I want to think of a perfect plan."
Feng He shook his head and said: "On the battlefield, victory or defeat comes first. Sir... I won't say anymore. What do you need me to do?"
