Views:

The battle situation has been decided, and Rong Chang'an was about to blame Yan Li for what he did with these few people alone, and also caused everyone to come all the way to rescue him, which is too dangerous.

When Rong Changan turned his head, he realized that what Yan Li and other 30 people were desperately protecting were ten large carts, and the carts were loaded with the most scarce food and grass in Tongguan City. It turned out that Yan Li really risked his life to find food, and all the complaints in Rong Changan's heart turned into gratitude, and his bright eyes swept towards Yan Li, with indescribable joy in his heart.

Yan Li just wanted to wave his hand to show that he should not get excited, but before he could make other actions in a hurry, he fell to the ground with a bang, unconscious.

It was only then that Rong Changan remembered that the enemy had shot Yan Li with an arrow just now.

"Yan Li, Yan Li, how are you doing?" Rong Changan quickly rushed to Yan Li.

Yan Li himself had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was exhausted participating in the battle again. He lost too much blood from an arrow wound in his arm and passed out. Rong Changan put Yan Li on the first cart, and led the group of people back to the city with ten carts of grain.

At the gate of Tongguan City, there were scattered people who were cleaning up the battlefield. When they saw the general return and brought back so much food and grass, they immediately spread the good news.

"Have you heard? The general came back with robbed food and grass from the enemy, a whole ten carts? Now we won't be afraid of starving to death."

"What's the matter with robbing food and grass? I heard that the coach yesterday was scared to death by our general's reputation. Is he great?"

"It must be amazing! The general who protects the country!"

No matter how varied people's discussions are, in short, the dead atmosphere before is gone. Now everyone is thinking about how powerful their generals are and how to build their homes.

The looted food was also distributed to the people according to the number of people. Without the threat of food shortage, the people still lived and worked in peace and contentment.

"Thank you, General! We got food for us." Old Mr. Dai Haishan thought he was at the end of his rope, but he did not expect to get food. He was so grateful to Rong Changan that he almost knelt down.

Rong Changan supported the old man, "Old man, the army and the people are of the same mind, and their benefits are all due to everyone. I just happened to meet them at the right time. If you have any difficulties in the future, tell me that life will get better and better. Tongguan City will be better in the future." It's getting better and better."

"Okay, okay, getting better and better. If the general needs to be old, I can still contribute. You must come to me." The old man thanked Rong Changan very much from the bottom of his heart, and insisted on contributing, but what would require a 70-year-old man? The old man did it. This sentence is just talking.

Rong Changan also took advantage of the situation and agreed to the old man, "It is necessary to trouble you, don't despise me for trouble!"

The old and the young talked very harmoniously, and after Rong Changan arranged the distribution of food, he finally came to Yan Li's room.

The military doctor had already arrived, put his hands on his wrists, opened his eyelids and looked at his fingers, and thought for a while before reporting back to Rong Changan.

"General, Deputy Commander Yan may have suffered from the plague."

Rong Changan was shocked, how could it be a plague! If it was really a plague, this would be troublesome!

"Are you sure it's the plague?" Rong Changan confirmed to the military doctor again.

"General, I have been in the army for more than ten years, and the plague can still be confirmed." The military doctor is also an old acquaintance. He has been in the army for more than ten years, and his medical skills and ethics are naturally trustworthy.

"Then, how sure are you of curing him?" Yan Li is very important to her, both public and private.

The old military doctor thought for a moment and replied, "Thirty percent, if he cooperates, I'm 30% sure. But we need a lot of medicinal materials, and our army doesn't have all the medicines."

Rong Changan took a deep breath, 30% is still too low, but he also knows that Dr. Wang is a very strict person, he said 30% is 30%.

"Dr. Wang, this person is very important. He must be saved. Thank you, Dr. Wang. Tell me what medicinal materials you need, and I will send someone to look for it right away."

"There are still three kinds of medicinal materials. Seven-color orchid, horse's foot and purple heart lotus, just one of each, and you don't need many."

Rong Chang'an also immediately explained, "The fact that Vice Marshal Yan got the plague is a military secret, so don't let it out. I'll find a solution for the medicinal materials."

After Rong Changan finished explaining to Dr. Wang, he came to the hall and sat for a while to think. I can only ask Dai Haishan about this matter, so I took Xiao Jiu to Dai Haishan's home.

A spacious courtyard house with a generous and elegant layout, neither rigid nor vulgar, very open and bright.

Mr. Dai Haishan was very excited when he saw the general coming to the door in person.

"Old man, I'm here to ask you for help. Look at these three medicines, do you have them? Or do you know where they are? Seven-color orchid, horse's foot and purple heart lotus."

"To tell you the truth, I have seven-color orchids and horse's foot vegetables at home, and I know where to find purple heart lotus, but you can't pick them."

"Please also let me know that I need some."

"No, no, the general is the benefactor of my family, I will pick it off for you right now." Then he led Rong Changan and Xiao Jiu to the backyard. In the backyard is a small medicinal garden, with dozens of tall and short medicinal herbs growing, but Rong Changan doesn't know it.

"Xiao Jiu, pick one of the little blue flowers under the corner of the wall for the general, and the one with the disc under it."

Xiao Jiu listened to her grandfather's words, picked two and handed them to Rong Chang'an.

Old Mr. Dai Haishan seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "This flower is a cure for the plague. General, what are you doing with these herbs in such a hurry? Has anyone got the plague? Plague is a serious disease. If one is not good, many people will die. of."

Rong Changan couldn't lie in front of this old man, "Someone got the plague, and I will deal with it quickly when I get back. It won't pose a threat to the city, so please rest assured."

The old man just let out a long sigh, "Purple lotus is only found by the lake near the enemy camp. I will ask Dai Liyun to pick it for you! He knows the way, and I will ask him to send it to you when he picks it back. "

"The relationship is good, but it's near the enemy camp. Is it safe for him to go alone? Do I need to send someone to protect him?" Rong Changan suggested.

"No need, the goal is small if there are few people, but it will be troublesome if there are too many people." The old man is indeed a sensible person.

"Then I'll wait for the news." Rong Changan bowed and said goodbye.

The old Mr. Dai Haishan looked sad, and he was not interested in seeing off the guests, and Xiao Jiu was also very silent.

After leaving Dai Haishan's house, Rong Chang'an asked Xiao Jiu, "Why do you have these herbs for treating plague?"

Xiao Jiu's face was full of sadness, "My father also got the plague, and was burned to death in the end. Those medicines were dug up by my uncle at that time to treat him."

"Who gave the order? It can be cured, why was it burned?"

"The county magistrate at that time, it is said that it was His Majesty's will. I don't know, I don't know anything."
