Guo Shao and others returned to the military camp and happened to pass the medicine shop where Doctor Lu was sitting in Qian Street. The injured general Deng Fei was on the way, so they took the lead to find acquaintance Doctor Lu.
Unexpectedly, I heard a woman calling for help just at the door.Everyone in the lobby heard it, and an old man hurriedly walked in; Guo Shao felt that it seemed to be the voice of the Lu family's wife, so he hurriedly followed through the back door.
The old man stood under the eaves and shouted: Dalang?
Guo Shao heard something moving in a room not far away, so he walked over quickly. But when he saw the door was closed, he stretched out his left hand and gently lifted the wooden door.
Sure enough, a man and a woman inside were entangled. Who is the lady of the Lu family?
The man pressed her against the wall, grabbing her collar and trying to pull off her coat.
The old man in the pharmacy stepped forward and cursed. He saw that the Zhou army general Guo Shao looked cold and said hurriedly: General, calm down, the dog son and the young lady of the Lu family are already engaged.
When Guo Shao heard this, he felt unhappy, but he couldn't say anything else.Since the young man is touching his fiancée and at home, it is hard to break even if he is a clean official.
The Lu family's wife broke free and ran out from inside, grabbed the collar with her hand, and her eyes were whirling, but she glanced at Guo Shao with a graceful look, then lowered her head and walked out.
The old man shouted to the young man in the room: "Get out quickly, get out!"
The young man was extremely embarrassed and did not talk back, and hurriedly slipped out of the wing room.
He walked out of the back door and saw Lu Lan stuffing things into the basket. He suddenly said annoyed: I heard that there is a general living in your house?Humph, I understand!Lu Lan choked and said: What's up to me?My father brought it back.He is much more gentleman than you.
Guo Shao came out and stopped caring about what happened just now. He found out that Doctor Lu was healing the wounded soldiers in the army and immediately took Deng Fei away from the medicine shop.Another personal soldiers were sent to call Dr. Lu.
He also instructed Li Chuyun to send more scouts out and stare at the movements of Xiao Siwen's men.
Li Chuyun said: The northern cavalry is more difficult to deal with than the southern countries. Even if we can beat them, it will not be easy to work.The enemy cavalry could not defeat them and ran away, and they could not catch up. The Hujie Army had all chased out and was about to be counterattacked, so they did not dare to chase them out... It would be great if Xiao Siwen could be tempted into the city.
After hearing this, Guo Shao remembered the idea that Li Chuyun had come up with, and pretended to surrender and lure the enemy. He couldn't help but ponder: Brother Li's strategy is good, but the path is not satisfactory. Maybe Xiao Siwen won't be fooled.
……
In the Zhou army camp on the south bank of the Juma River, the scout also inquired about the news that the Liao army in Gu'an County was dispatched to forcing Zhuozhou.
At that time, Chai Rong's palace was located in Xiongzhou (Waqiao Pass), and all the generals gathered in the lobby and discussed it.
But the emperor did not come to see him, and there were only a few eunuchs on both sides of the lobby seat.
Some people discussed: The Great Zhou army could cross the Juma River again, reinforce Zhuozhou, and intimidate the troops of Xiao Siwen, the king of the Southern Court, and then force the Khitan master to go south to fight.If you can premeditate the battlefield at Zhuozhou City, you may be able to fight inside and outside!
Shi Shouxin, the general of the Iron Cavalry, said: Now that he is in a hurry to send troops, Xiao Siwen may retreat.Unless the Khitan leader leads the Liao army to Zhuozhou, we can make another move to reinforce Zhuozhou and fight to the decisive battle under the city.
Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin, who were standing in front, did not say a word.
Because the emperor did not come, nothing is useful to say now.
Emperor Chai Rong was in the inner hall, his forehead was covered with fine sweat beads, and the eunuch Wang Zhong was dipping his face with a hot towel, with his movements very carefully.
Wang Zhongdao: Officials, why don’t the imperial doctor come in and take a look?
Chai Rong shook his head thoughtfully and said: Go outside and listen, what are the civil and military people saying.
Look.Wang Zhong quickly put down his towel, walked to the door, and asked another eunuch to come in and serve.
Chai Rong took out a handkerchief from his sleeve while Wang Zhong left, and the handkerchief was squeezed into a ball of blood.He threw the veil straight into the fire of the mud stove next to him that burned water.
A few days ago, he failed in the southern part of Youzhou. He was very disappointed and angry. He rode a horse for dozens of miles while retreating, and his body couldn't bear it. Today, he didn't feel relieved and even vomited blood.
But Chai Rong didn't want anyone to know for the time being... Once the people around him leaked the news that he was in good health, it would definitely affect the morale of the army and he had to retreat.
Chai Rong was unwilling to give up the Northern Expedition like this.
Although the first decisive battle was not smooth and not as light as the acquisition of the three passes and five prefectures (including Yi and Zhuo), the main force was not lost.
He wanted to take another opportunity to fight after resting. What he needed now was to boost morale and get more support from generals.
But he found that his body could not stand it anymore.
So Chai Rong is very hesitant at the moment.
On the one hand, he felt that he needed to be recuperated and had reached the point where he could not show off. On the other hand, since the Battle of Gaoping, the emperor's biggest wish for several years was to achieve the goal of regaining the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. He had been eager for a few years, thought about countless days and nights, and prepared so much for it. Now, if he had setbacks, he would give up easily?
The Zhou army's strength was slightly inferior to that of the fierce battle, mainly because there were few elite cavalrymen, but Chai Rong believed that there was no hope at all and that the gap could be made up with other efforts.
If it weren't for the time when the body collapsed, Chai Rong's willpower wouldn't have hesitated as he is now.
Soon, Wang Zhong came back and came forward to report on the situation and discussions in the lobby.
After hearing this, Chai Rong said after a while: Just tell everyone else to go down.His voice was low and a little weak.
The fat eunuch held his back as he said.At this time, Chai Rong called him to come over and said in a deep voice: Go and call Doctor Sun in for me, and tell him that my condition will not be disclosed for the time being.
Wang Zhong received the order and hurried out to find the imperial physician.
Then, quietly brought an old man carrying the medicine box from the small gate to carry the palace and the palace was the requisitioned Xiongzhou official government.
Things are done silently, but it is difficult to keep them completely confidential, and a few people will always notice them when they come and go.
Doctor Sun bowed into the room, took the pulse first, and then apologized for the crime to observe Chai Rong's face and facial features, and asked questions.Chai Rong said truthfully that he was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood, and also described some other symptoms.
The imperial doctor knelt down and asked: Your Majesty should put the dragon body first, and go back to the court first, so that you can maintain a good body.
Chai Rong frowned and said: What disease do I have?
This... Imperial Doctor, I dare not make arbitrary decisions, so it is more appropriate to go back to the court to ask the imperial doctors for consultation.But in the opinion of the mere minister, Your Majesty’s noble body... Cough cough, you can no longer work hard outside and delay.
Chai Rong was immediately angry when he heard the imperial doctor's speech vaguely.
In fact, he also knew what his physical condition was, but he was a little unwilling to do so.
Seeing the imperial doctor looking like he was eager to speak but stopped, Chai Rong woke up and realized the seriousness of the matter.
Suddenly Chai Rong thought of death!
If they die, how will future generations judge themselves?There is still a foundation left behind, where should we go?
In an instant, some consciousness suddenly poured into Chai Rong's heart, and he suddenly felt panic.
Chai Rong thought about it and said sternly: You must not reveal my physical condition, otherwise you will definitely forgive me!
The imperial physician and the eunuch Wang Zhong hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to agree.
...Wang Zhong suddenly thought of the oldest prince Chai Zongxun, who was only over four years old!
Then there was Chai Zongxun’s mother Fu. He felt a chill on his back for a moment. Why did the official family say that it was not possible?
Wang Zhong thought about it and felt that the future was hard to say, but the queen was not a good-for-nothing lamp, at least she couldn't offend too much.
He immediately wrote a secret letter, wanting to send it to Tokyo to take the opportunity to make contributions in front of the queen.
But the person who must send the letter must be the closest trust, so he found his godson, eunuch Wang Jien, and instructed Wang Jien to secretly return to Beijing to hand over the secret letter to the queen himself.
Wang Jien was a young eunuch in his twenties. He had a big pie face. The flesh on his face was very loose and swollen. His face was very wide, but his facial features were squeezed together.
He was usually loyal, but now he got the secret letter and did not return to Beijing immediately, but went to Zhao Kuangyin to meet Zhao Pu in private!
Zhao Kuangyin quickly returned to his residence, and the three of them looked at the secret letter placed on the table.
I saw that the credit was covered with lacquer, which was very stable, and it would definitely leave traces when it moved.
Wang Ji'en was helpless and said: The old man Wang Zhong asked the Zajia to go back to Tokyo to deliver a letter to the queen... The Zajia saw Doctor Sun conducting a palace before. Could this letter mean that the official family was in trouble?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhao Pu suddenly picked up the secret letter and tore it apart rudely.Wang Jien was anxious and widened his eyes and stretched out his hand to grab it, it was too late.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at Wang Jien indifferently and said: Do you really want to repay the matter back to the palace?
After hearing this, Wang Ji'en was speechless.
Zhao Pu read the secret letter, then handed it to Zhao Kuangyin and said: Wang Zhong, the eunuch, really, is on two boats, and now he has to consider himself.After saying that, he glanced at Wang Ji'en.
Wang Ji'en said: The family has no other intentions, I am afraid that Wang Zhong will find that the family has not delivered a letter, and the family is in danger.
But now that things have come to this point, the letter has been torn like that, and I really can't send it again.
……
However, Fu soon heard the news. She did not get the most accurate news from Wang Zhong, but the minister Wang Pu still asked his servants to return to Beijing to reveal some things.
There are two main things: Guo Shao was transferred to Zhuozhou to defend the city. The emperor had not seen anyone for several days and might have been in good health.
Fu was very uneasy after learning the news.
It was raining heavily in Tokyo this time, and it was wind and heavy rain. In the storm, she felt as if the tall and majestic palaces were about to be overturned, and the lightning and thunder were clamoring for fear.
Is the emperor healthy?Then you should be retreating soon.This kind of news may not have spread yet, and even the people of Prime Minister Wang Pu are vague; I wonder if Wang Pu will disclose it to Guo Shao.
But Guo Shao now doesn’t care about the emperor’s behavior, he has to find a way to return to Tokyo!
Fu also worried about one thing: how bad is the emperor's health?
I hope the emperor can hold on, at least come back to Beijing first!
Otherwise, more than 100,000 troops and the most elite troops of the Zhou Dynasty were outside. When the emperor passed away, who should those troops listen to?
If it reaches that point, would Zhao Kuangyin summon Guo Shao to the central army without Guo Shao's knowledge?... Even if it is not easy to ambush, the left wing of the Hujie Army in Zhuozhou is not the main opponent of the Zhou army.
Fu immediately called the eunuch Cao Tai and asked him to immediately send the Guo Mansion to the palace.
Unexpectedly, I heard a woman calling for help just at the door.Everyone in the lobby heard it, and an old man hurriedly walked in; Guo Shao felt that it seemed to be the voice of the Lu family's wife, so he hurriedly followed through the back door.
