These days, he has been helping Huang Qiutang treat this medical officer. Huang Qiutang's thoughts are mostly spent on pharmacology. It takes a lot of time to prepare medicines, so he does many trivial things.
He stayed beside the medical officer for more time to observe the subtle changes.
In fact, Huang Qiutang has made some progress since he marched with Tie Ce's army. The medical officer's physical condition has not changed for the worse, and he is extremely sure that there has been no sign of deterioration in the past few days, especially now.
When he felt that the medical officer's forehead was hotter than usual, he was also sure that the medical officer's breath was smoother than usual.
He quickly put down the medicine and put his fingers on the medical officer's neck.
The medical officer's blood was flowing in the blood vessels in the skin under his fingers. It was weaker than that of a normal person, but he could indeed feel that the medical officer's blood was very hot.
The hot blood made the medical officer's heart beat slightly faster, but other than that, he didn't feel any obvious changes.
Wang Pingyang's fingers moved to the medical officer's eyelids, and he looked carefully at the medical officer's pupils.
Before this medical officer's strange true power was revealed, his pupils should have been the same as those of a normal person. However, after he fell into a coma, Wang Pingyang would feel as if he was falling into an abyss every time he stared at his pupils.
His pupils were a deep gray, but there were many black needle-like filaments looming in the gray, and each filament looked extremely deep.
Many people's pupils will naturally expand after falling into coma, but this medical officer's pupils seemed to be like glass balls, never changing.
Even though his energy and blood quietly changed at this time, his eyes remained unchanged.
Wang Pingyang stayed by the side of the medical officer for at least half an hour. He was sure that there would be no further changes. He got out of the carriage, then entered the carriage where Huang Qiutang was, and then took the medical officer's blood.
The changed situation was described in detail.
"This shows that what I thought may be right."
Huang Qiutang rubbed his sore eyes and smiled.
"Zhongli will probably kill a lot of people." Wang Pingyang nodded calmly, and then said softly: "I will try to become stronger."
"But there is a possibility that if you become stronger, he will be able to easily detect your aura, or his subordinates may be aware of your aura, and you will not be able to hide it." Huang Qiutang looked at him and said.
Wang Pingyang also smiled lightly, "The senior may have to work harder to find some ways to deal with it before he can detect my aura."
Huang Qiutang did not respond. She buried her head and continued to fight countless pharmacological treatments in her mind.
Both of them have a common terrible enemy, and both of them want to defeat the Demon Sect at any cost, even if they pay their own lives.
"There is actually one thing you have overlooked."
Shen Kun rode a horse to Wei Guanxing's side and said softly.
Wei Guanxing was startled for a moment, then subconsciously turned his head to look at him and asked, "What?"
"You should be talking about Wei Rui." Shen Kun lowered his voice, "Wei Rui, come here, he has at least 70,000 to 80,000 elite troops. Even I have confidence in his army, and even the emperor in the palace has
We don't dare to let Wei Rui's army die, and all kinds of ordnance should be given priority to him. But what if Zhongli City has been lost before we arrive?"
Wei Guanxing shook his head.
He was not surprised, and he did not ignore this.
"I have thought about this possibility." He turned to look at Shen Kun and said: "In that case, we will take advantage of Yuan Ying's army to take it back before it arrives. According to the current military situation, the Northern Wei army over there is not many."
Shen Kun said: "According to the news I learned, there is a Northern Wei army numbering seven thousand, which has arrived north of Zhongli City and is preparing to attack the city."
Wei Guanxing raised his eyebrows. He did not ask how Shen Kun knew such news first, but said directly: "Zhongli City is surrounded by water on both sides, with the Huai River to the north. It is a natural barrier and the current is very fast. Unless large warships or small boats can pass by, from now on How to attack the city from the north?"
"There were heavy rains ahead, and the Northern Wei people cut down many giant trees not far upstream. They didn't know the purpose before, thinking they were building ships, but recently they all fell down. In the past few days, they blocked many dead branches and rotten trees, and the Northern Wei people filled in the trees again. A lot of soil has been accumulated in the center of the Huaihe River in the north, and now it has accumulated into an island." Shen Kun looked at him and said: "Now those Northern Wei people have built roads and pontoons along the shoal from the north of the river to this small island, and directly connected to this island. We have set up camp on the island and are trying to build a road from the island to the north of Zhongli City. The wall on the north side of Zhongli City is not high. Judging from this posture, there should be troops from the Northern Wei Dynasty coming from the north."
"Then it's not the Ministry of Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan."
Wei Guanxing frowned deeply. He just thought for a breath or two before confirming: "There will be other Northern Wei troops attacking Zhongli City first, most of Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan."
Shen Kun shrugged. He didn't have a map as clear as Wei Guanxing's in his mind, so he didn't need to think too much about such specific military matters.
"Where did you get this news?" Wei Guanxing asked this question.
"I have a group of friends who made a fortune from the private salt business near Zhongli. They are as confused as you are." Shen Kun's face became complicated, and he turned to look at the back of the road. "Those people I met on the road earlier There are also some friends on the road in the scattered caravan. I asked, and the group of salt traders are rushing towards Zhongli. Before we fill ourselves into Zhongli, they will fill themselves in first."
"How many are there?" Wei Guanxing's expression instantly became complicated.
"There are only three or four hundred people at most." Shen Kun said: "There are five or six practitioners, but at most they are only in the Heaven-bearing realm."
"Just a private salt dealer?" Wei Guanxing asked.
"Not even a horse thief." Shen Kun nodded, "The kind who usually hide when they see local troops."
Wei Guanxing fell silent.
How many defenders are there in Zhongli City now?
two thousand?
If Zhongli City had not been easy to defend but difficult to attack, and had not been attacked by most of the Wei army, Zhongli City would have been destroyed long ago.
Add these three to four hundred people, how many more are there?
But Shen Kun's words reminded him that what he ignored was not the Northern Wei army that belonged to unknown people and arrived at Zhongli from the north before Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan. What he ignored was that it was not fighting in the territory of the Northern Wei. Instead, it has penetrated deep into the Southern Dynasties.
During his years in the army, he had seen many people in the Southern Dynasties who were gentle in peacetime, but became bloody when danger struck.
So the odds of winning are hard to say, but I hope it will be better.
