Four hundred and fiftieth eight chapters can not hide
Liu Ling leaned on the bed and drank the bowl of soup with a grimace, then asked Minhui: "Is there any way to make the medicine less bitter?"
Minhui thought for a while and said: "There are ways, but the conditions in Zhaozhou City are bad now, and it is not easy to get these medicinal materials together. The prince has never been afraid of galloping thousands of troops, how can he still be afraid of this healing method?"
Decoction?"
It is very embarrassing to be looked down upon by a woman, and it would be even more embarrassing to be looked down upon by your own woman. Although Minhui definitely did not mean to look down on Liu Ling in her words, Liu Ling still blushed a little when Minhui said this.
To be honest, Liu Ling was like this in his previous life. He was not afraid of anything, not snakes, mice, or watching ghost movies. He was only afraid of taking medicine and injections. Fortunately, the medicine he took at that time was wrapped with a layer of sugar coating, and it was a large size.
Wash down the capsules, tablets, etc. with a glass of water. But the decoction is really hard to swallow.
"I'm not afraid, it's...don't you think that as a doctor and a descendant of the miracle doctor Wu Kui, you not only have to master the skills and medical skills to save people, but you also have the responsibility and obligation to improve the taste of the soup? Don't they say that doctors have parents?
We are people with great compassion. How can we just watch patients swallowing the medicine and remain indifferent? No matter what we do, we must pursue perfection. Since we can prepare medicine that cures diseases and save lives, we can think of ways to improve the medicine. This is
It’s an attitude. Attitude determines everything, haven’t you heard of this saying?”
He continued without waiting for Minhui to speak: "Okay, I don't care if you are magnanimous for your husband. But Hui'er, you have to remember that attitude determines everything, um... attitude!"
Minhui opened her mouth and sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty is right. Next time I will make the medicine sweet."
Liu Ling snorted and said: "Look, your idea is so simple and simple, there is nothing new at all. Isn't it bitter and only has the taste of sweet? You must have an innovative spirit. You can make the medicine sour
It can be salty or sweet, or it can be more innovative and made into fruity flavor..."
"How about I make the medicine taste like barbecue next time?"
Minhui blinked and said seriously.
Liu Ling's eyes lit up and she said happily: "She is such a smart and good girl. After listening to my teachings, she will immediately know how to draw inferences from one example to another. Children can be taught, so it's not bad. By the way...can it really taste like barbecue?"
Minhui said: "No."
Liu Ling pretended to be angry and said: "How can you just make a joke?"
Minhui smiled slyly and said, "Are you just kidding me, Prince Xu? I can't match the barbecue-flavored medicine Huier, let alone the fruit-flavored one."
After saying that, Minhui shook her beautiful long hair, turned around and left with the medicine bowl. The smell of traditional Chinese medicine floated in the room, mixed with a hint of the good-smelling body fragrance that Xiao Nizi brought with her when she left.
Ling watched Minhui leave, twisting her rounder buttocks and said: "Attitude! What kind of attitude do you have... It seems that a woman must be moistened by rain and dew before she is truly beautiful and perfect."
Although Minhui did not fully understand what Liu Ling said next, she could still guess the meaning. She shyly glanced back at Liu Ling, and the charming look back at her made Liu Ling's heart move.
After taking the medicine, Liu Ling called Zhao Da, Liu Mao and Zhu Sanqi into his bedroom. At first, Liu Ling did not tell Zhu Sanqi about his injury. After all, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Liu Ling made this arrangement not because he was worried that Zhu Sanqi would not be able to keep the secret. Even if Zhu Sanqi had not sincerely surrendered to him and was now trapped in Zhaozhou City, Zhu Sanqi would not tell the matter even for his own sake.
Go out. The situation at that time forced Liu Ling to be more careful. After Liu Ling woke up and made sure that he was fine, he told Zhu Sanqi about the injury.
Zhao Da helped Liu Ling sit more comfortably. After Minhui left, the happy expression on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemnity that rarely appeared on his face.
"Counting the days, reinforcements should be arriving soon."
Liu Ling said to the three people.
Zhao Da nodded and said: "It should be almost done, but now we are trapped in the city, and there are not many people in the yard. The news cannot be spread out or in, and we are not sure where the reinforcements are now. But according to calculations
If so, they should be almost at Xingzhou, right? The West Route Army should be commanded by General Maoyuan. With General Maoyuan's temperament, if he knew that the prince was trapped here, he would probably have to travel all night to come."
Liu Maodao: "It's good that the reinforcements have arrived. The situation of being passively beaten has finally passed. It's time for those Khitan wolf cubs to see how powerful my big Han lion is. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, those Khitan people will
cry!"
Liu Ling did not have the joy on Liu Mao's face. He sighed and said, "Huting Hou, in fact, the most difficult days have just arrived."
Zhao Da was startled when he heard Liu Ling say this. He thought about it carefully and then understood. His expression became solemn. No one in the room was an idiot, Liu Mao or Zhu Sanqi, even if they were scheming.
Slightly not as good as Zhao Da, but the two people's achievements today are enough to show that their minds are actually very delicate and sharp. Liu Ling gave a slight reminder, and Zhu Sanqi and Liu Mao also reacted.
"Your Majesty, is he saying that Yan Liyao will attack Zhaozhou fiercely before withdrawing his troops?"
Liu Mao asked.
Zhu Sanqi thought for a while and said: "Since the prince's army is approaching and Liyao Nayan has been shot by the prince again, he has no reason to attack Zhaozhou again and delay the withdrawal of the army. If he wastes one more day, his entire army will be wiped out.
The greater the danger. Since he knows that this is not worth the gain, what reason does Li Yao Yan have to do this?"
Liu Ling shook his head and said: "There are reasons for Li Yao Nayan, and one is enough."
He pointed to himself and said, "Because I'm in the city."
Zhu Sanqi frowned, and then understood: "Your Majesty, you are saying that the Khitans retreated from their southern expedition in vain, and Li Yao Nayan was afraid of Yelu Xiongji's reproach and punishment, so he planned to make a desperate move? Although this person will not be able to do so in the end.
We have contacted him, but I see that he is very cautious in using his troops. How could he take such a big risk? If Zhaozhou cannot be captured by accident and he is stuck by us, he will have no choice but to die when the prince's army arrives."
Liu Lingdao: "If a cautious person goes crazy when his head heats up, it will be more terrifying than a real madman."
"This man is cautious and conceited. He will not be willing to retreat to Youzhou in such a mess. He will feel embarrassed and ashamed. When he was still the leader of a small county garrison, he dared to contradict the Dingzhou general.
It can be seen that this person is a very proud person at heart. The more proud a person is, the harder it is to accept defeat, especially when victory is close at hand, it is harder to give up. He needs to go back with the victory, and now I have reinforcements.
It has arrived, and it seems that there is only one benefit he can get, and in his eyes, in the eyes of Yelu Ji, and in the eyes of Yelu Xiongji, this benefit is comparable to half of the country in the Central Plains."
Zhao Da shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is humble. In Yelu Xiongji's eyes, Your Majesty is now the entire Central Plains."
Liu Ling had nothing to be ashamed of. He thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would have to be ruthless and take the gamble."
Zhu Sanqi was silent for a while and said: "The general will also take a gamble."
Liu Mao smiled bitterly and said: "In this way, even a conservative person like this subordinate will probably be tempted to take a gamble."
Liu Ling hummed and said, "So, we must make preparations early."
Zhu Sanqi said: "The soldiers guarding the city can no longer be divided into four groups to take turns defending the city, but two groups, half of them guarding the city, and the other half resting under the city wall. They must not take off their armor or slack off."
Zhao Da added: "We also need to encourage the people in the city. If Liyao Nayan really makes a desperate move this time, the offensive will be extremely fierce. If the Khitan people attack with all their strength, almost all of our soldiers will be injured. Defensive
The army will definitely be stretched thin. Although the common people have limited fighting power, they are now at a critical point of life and death. I am afraid that if the city is broken, the Khitan people will massacre the city, and the common people cannot stay out of the matter."
Liu Ling sighed and said: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, the common people should not be involved in the war. Soldiers have the responsibility to defend the territory. It is actually very helpless for the common people to join the battle."
Zhu Sanqi said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers have the responsibility to defend the land, and the people... also have the responsibility. Are there intact eggs under the overturned nest? Even if they don't consider national justice, they should take up arms for their own safety.
.”
Liu Ling nodded and asked Zhao Dadao: "The gunpowder brought with the army has not been used, and it can no longer be hidden. The quantity is not large, and it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. In addition, let the soldiers tonight
Build ramparts on the city wall overnight and divide the city wall. Don’t keep the arrows in stock. Just shoot out as many as you can.”
He thought for a moment and said: "From tonight on, one of the three of you must take turns on duty on the city wall."
"My subordinate understands!"
The three people nodded.
"If the reinforcements really arrive in Xingzhou, I'm afraid Liyao Nayan will launch an offensive soon. From Xingzhou to Zhaozhou, it will only take two days and one night if the cavalry spares no effort and travels all night. I have more Han troops on the west route.
There is no doubt that the cavalry can arrive in two days and one night. Inferring from this, we only need to persist for two days from the time when Liyao Nayan launched the attack, and the Khitan people will retreat. But now the soldiers are too injured and their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Khitan people.
There were no more than 7,000 soldiers with full combat strength, including the heavy cavalry of Shura Camp. The heavy cavalry went to the city to defend, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. They had to hold on for two days... Although the time was not very long, it was very difficult.
"
Zhao Da analyzed.
Liu Ling knew that what Zhao Da said was right. He thought for a while and said, "Shuluo camp should not go up to the city to defend for the time being. Let them also prepare below the city."
The four people carefully filtered the defensive matters and determined that there were no flaws. It was already evening. Zhu Sanqi was on duty today. He stood up and left first to go to the city wall to deploy defenses. Liu Mao was familiar with Zhaozhou, and now at this critical moment he
Not feeling at ease, he followed Zhu Sanqi to leave. Only Liu Ling and Zhao Da were left in the room. Zhao Da raised his head and looked at Liu Ling, but hesitated to speak.
Liu Ling looked at Zhao Da's expression and knew what he was thinking, but he couldn't choose that way.
"I won't hide."
Liu Ling shook his head and said, "No need to say any more."
Zhao Da sighed: "Your Majesty knows very well that Liyao Nayan only has one target, and that is you, Your Majesty. Although Zhaozhou City is not big, it is still difficult to find someone hiding there. If Your Majesty hides himself, even if Zhaozhou cannot defend it,
Stay here, Li Yao can’t find the prince and doesn’t dare to stay for a long time. This is the safest way, the prince, please consider it.”
Liu Ling still shook his head and asked Zhao Da: "What do you think the first thing Zhu Sanqi and Liu Mao did after they came to the city?"
Zhao Da replied without thinking: "Inspire morale and call on the soldiers to fight to the death."
Liu Ling snorted and asked, "Then how will the soldiers react if they know that I am hiding?" (To be continued)
