Chapter 605: Cutting the Bone and Washing the Marrow
The medical officers were helpless about Liu Xiu's condition, and Liu Xiu struggled all night long. His clothes were soaked with sweat, so Xu Xiling helped him change into new ones, which were soaked again, and then changed into new ones.
At the end of the night, Xu Xiling helped Liu Xiu change into five sets of clothes.
At dawn the next day, the yellowish-brown color on Liu Xiu's body finally receded, and he woke up. The moment he woke up, he was like a spring. He immediately sat up from the bed and took a nap from Xu Xiling, who had been taking care of him all night.
Startled, she opened her eyes in panic and saw Liu Xiu sitting on the bed. She was surprised and happy, and hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"
At this time, Liu Xiu's consciousness was still at the moment before he fell into coma. He looked at Xu Xiling and asked urgently: "Where is the tube baby?"
Xu Xiling was stunned at first, then realized what happened after Liu Xiu fell into coma yesterday, and told Liu Xiu everything in detail.
After Xu Xiling finished speaking, Liu Xiu realized that he had been unconscious for a day and a night, and had been taken back to his camp by the Yulin Army led by Fu An. As for Guan Ying, he was injured by Fu An and had escaped.
, disappeared without a trace.
Liu Xiu frowned slightly and moved his muscles again. The joints on his body made a series of crunching sounds.
Xu Xiling asked with concern: "How is your Majesty feeling now? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Fortunately, except that the muscles and bones are a little tight, I don't feel any discomfort." After speaking, he sniffed, frowned and asked, "What is this smell?"
He raised his arm, lowered his head and smelled it. The strange smell in the tent was emanating from his body. It was not a simple odor, but a rancid smell that was close to fermentation. Liu Xiu sniffed the smell on his body.
They almost vomited it out.
Xu Xiling was amused by Liu Xiu's appearance and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to ask someone to prepare bath water." Unable to hide the excitement on her face, she quickly walked out of the tent and asked someone to prepare bath water.
Liu Xiu took a bath for more than half an hour. When he got out of the tub, changed into clean clothes, and moved his muscles again, his joints still made a crunching sound.
At this time, not only did he feel no discomfort at all, but his body was full of strength. He even felt that he could kill a cow with one punch.
Liu Xiu took a deep breath, grabbed the edge of the tub with both hands, and lifted it up with force. He actually lifted the entire tub.
Liu Xiu's strength used to be very strong, but not to this level. Now he can lift such a big bathtub, and it is also filled with water. Even he was shocked.
.
But he soon calmed down, and this situation had not happened to him again.
I remember that when he first drank the gold liquid, he fell into a coma. When he woke up, a thick layer of black sweat stains remained on his body, his six senses were greatly enhanced, and his strength was also greatly improved.
Later, he consulted Taoist classics and found out that his situation at that time may have been to cut down the sutras and cleanse the marrow.
The current situation is almost exactly the same as that time, except that the black sweat stains have turned into yellowish brown sweat stains.
In fact, this is also easy to understand. He has already experienced menstruation and marrow cleansing once, and a lot of impurities in the body have been expelled. Now after undergoing menstruation and marrow cleansing for the second time, the impurities in the body are far less than the first time, so the black color
The sweat stains turned yellow-brown, so much so that medical officials mistakenly thought he was relieving jaundice.
Liu Xiu slowly lowered the raised tub, then stretched his muscles a bit, and then walked out of the tent.
Outside, Jia Fu, Wang Liang, Li Tong, Fu An and others were all there. Seeing the energetic Liu Xiu, who seemed to have been reborn, everyone was startled at first, and then they all bowed their hands and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty!"
"Everyone is flat, I'm fine!" Liu Xiu waved to everyone with a smile, then raised his head and took a deep breath. Now he felt refreshed and even his body was light.
Yes, it seems that with just one jump, he can fly into the sky.
People's expressions can be disguised, words can be disguised, but spirit cannot be disguised. Looking carefully at Liu Xiu, his skin is now glowing with a layer of luster. Compared with before, the whole person seems to have become more handsome.
few.
Jia Fu, Wang Liang, Li Tong, and Fu An were all happy that Liu Xiu was safe and sound. They all knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty's blessing reaches the sky, which is a blessing for the great man! A blessing for all the people!"
"Everyone, please get up quickly!" Liu Xiu pulled Jia Fu and others up, laughing loudly at the same time. This time he was forced to be in danger by Guan Ying. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise, and he experienced the second time of cutting down the menstrual flow.
Wash the marrow.
This is really not as good as God!
Liu Xiu suppressed his smile and looked around, but did not see Xu Ying and others. He asked with concern: "Have you found Xu Ying, Xu Ting, Xu Fei and the others?"
Fu An then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Xu Ying and the others are all in the camp now, but the injuries of the three of them are not serious."
Liu Xiu frowned and said, "Take me to see it!"
The tent of Xu Ying, Xu Fei and Xu Ting was not far from the Chinese military tent. After Liu Xiu came in, he looked up and saw that Xu Ying, Xu Ying and Xu Ting were all lying on the bed, each one wrapped like rice dumplings.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu felt sad and asked: "How are their injuries?"
Wang Liang said: "Your Majesty, don't worry! Although they have many injuries, they are not serious and there is no fear for their lives."
When Liu Xiu heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, walked to the bed, and checked each one.
They were not like Liu Xiu, who had taken gold liquid, and his body's ability to heal was far better than ordinary people. Even though Xuying and others only suffered some superficial injuries, due to too many wounds and severe blood loss, it would take a long time to recover.
Seeing that the three of them were still sleeping, Liu Xiu did not stay long and left the camp. He said sternly to the medical officer present: "Try your best to cure the three of them, no matter how precious the medicinal materials are.
Feel free to report it.”
"Yes! Your Majesty!" All the medical officers bowed and saluted.
After checking on the injuries of Wai Xuying and the other three, Liu Xiu took everyone back to the Zhongjun tent. He sat in the middle, with Jia Fu, Wang Liang and others sitting on both sides. He asked: "The Red Eyebrow Army is hiding in the mountain now.
How many more people are there?”
Wang Liang bowed and said seriously: "Reporting to Your Majesty, based on the investigation and inference of my subordinates, the bandit army is now less than 10,000 people."
Liu Xiu nodded and asked, "Can we find out where the bandits are hiding?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. Jia Fu explained: "The thieves are cunning and do not have a fixed camp. Our army has no way of finding out where the thieves are hiding."
Liu Xiu murmured thoughtfully: "Guan Ying must have joined the Red Eyebrow Army after escaping, right?" After a pause, he said: "The bandit army in the Taihang Mountains must not be allowed to stay, and Guan Ying must not be allowed to stay.
Don’t stay!”
Wang Liang said: "Your Majesty, the Kou Governor has sent a letter and is now leading five thousand county troops to the Taihang Mountains. They will arrive at the Taihang Mountains at the latest every evening. In addition, all counties in Hanoi have also sent county troops.
, are all on their way to the Taihang Mountains, waiting for the county troops. As soon as the county troops arrive, our army can surround and annihilate the rebel army!"
Liu Xiu hummed and said: "In this battle, Jun Yan can be the commander of the entire army. He must annihilate the bandit army and Guan Ying and other bandit leaders in one fell swoop in the mountain to avoid future troubles forever!"
Wang Liang leaned forward and said, "I obey the order!"
The Red Eyebrow Army ambushed Liu Xiu in the Taihang Mountains, and the result was a hornet's nest.
How can the emperor be in danger? Both Hanoi County and the county governments are extremely nervous. At this time, who dares not to behave well? yyls
In the next few days, Hanoi commanders and soldiers from various counties continued to enter the Taihang Mountains and joined Wang Liang's troops. The number of Han troops under Wang Liang increased sharply. In just a few days, the number expanded to
Fifty thousand people.
The 50,000-strong Han army had an overwhelming advantage over the Red Eyebrow Army, which already numbered less than 10,000 people. Wang Liang commanded the three armies and launched an encirclement in the areas where the Red Eyebrow Army often appeared.
Wang Liang is good at using troops. He does not seek to find the exact hiding place of the Red Eyebrow Army at once. Instead, he plans a large area where the Red Eyebrow Army is most likely to hide through the places where the Red Eyebrow Army often hangs out, and then uses his advantage to
of troops to encircle the entire area.
Finally, the encirclement was narrowed little by little, and the Red Eyebrow Army was forced out of this area in a big wave.
Wang Liang's tactics were very effective. On the fifth day after the Han army narrowed the encirclement, the Red Eyebrow Army finally appeared in the encirclement and planned to break out.
As a result, during the breakout battle, the Red Eyebrow Army suffered a fierce blockage from the Han army. The Red Eyebrow Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties and failed to break out. In the end, it was forced to retreat and could only flee towards the center of the encirclement.
After confirming that the Red Eyebrow Army was within our own encirclement, the Han army's morale became stronger.
Three days later, the Han army's encirclement narrowed to a forest where the rebels were hiding.
According to Jia Fu's wishes, we don't need to attack by force at all, we can just set fire around the woods. Aren't the rebels willing to hide in the woods? Let them burn to ashes along with the woods.
Wang Liang was deeply convinced and agreed with Jia Fu's tactics. However, Kou Xun stood up to stop it. First, setting fire in the mountains. Once the fire really burned, it would be beyond human control. Otherwise, the fire would spread.
Come on, I don’t know how large an area will be burned down. The key is that even our own soldiers will be in danger.
Secondly, after all, there are still six or seven thousand people in the Red Eyebrow Army. Burning them all to death would be too cruel, and Kou Xun couldn't bear it. Jia Fu was very dissatisfied with Kou Xun's intervention, thinking that Kou Xun was
The kindness of women.
Kou Xun ignored Jia Fu's dissatisfaction, insisted on his own opinion, and strongly opposed setting fire to the forest. On one side, Jia Fu advocated setting fire, and on the other hand, Kou Xun opposed setting fire. Wang Liang was also in a dilemma at this time.
When the fire attacks the rebel army, our own soldiers do not have to fight against the rebel army. I don’t know how many brothers will be injured or killed. But Kou Xun’s concerns are also justified. Once the fire gets out of control and the mountain fire starts, our soldiers will not be able to escape even if they want to.
When Wang Liang was in a dilemma, Kou Xun proposed that he would personally persuade the remnants of the Red Eyebrow Army to surrender. Hearing this, everyone present was shocked and looked at Kou Xun, grinning secretly.
Isn't Kou Xun too brave to persuade the rebels to surrender in person?!
Jia Fu was so angry that he said sarcastically: "Are you crazy about making meritorious deeds? To persuade the rebels to surrender? How many heads do you think you have grown?"
Kou Xun said cheerfully: "Xun only has one head, so he cherishes it very much."
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Liang, cupped his hands and said, "General Wang, Xun is absolutely confident that he can persuade the rebels to surrender. Please give Xun permission to go and give it a try!"
"This..." Now that Liu Xiu is not here, Wang Liang is the one in charge.
But he was really worried about letting Kou Xun go to persuade the rebels to surrender. If Kou Xun really had a problem or was taken hostage by the rebels, how would he explain to His Majesty?
In addition, Wang Liang and Kou Xun have a good personal relationship. Wang Liang used to be an official in Yuyang County, and Kou Xun was an official in Shanggu County. The two have known each other for a long time and are considered old friends. Wang Liang is really worried about letting Kou Xun go.
Take the risk.
Wang Liang walked up to Kou Xun and whispered: "Ziyi, I think, let's forget it. There are not many soldiers and horses left in the remnants of the bandit army. Even if we don't use fire attack, our army will definitely be able to force their way into the forest."
