Man Bao was not comforted at all. She glanced at Zhao Guogong and asked, "Are you threatened?"
Zhao Guogong shook his head, "No one can resist the progress of the army." If so, that person must be the emperor.
Man Bao looked away, and said to him: "General Manager, Bai Shan told me the day before yesterday that he refuted your reputation on the battlefield, and he wants to apologize to you. I think you've been in a bad mood recently. , I’ll ask someone to make a bowl of tonic soup for you later.”
Zhao Guogong subconsciously touched his face and asked, "Does your face look bad?"
Then he waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's not a big deal, but Lord Zhou still needs to advise Lord Bai that saving people in the future must be done according to one's ability, and on the battlefield, kindness is the most important thing."
Man Bao said flatly: "He doesn't command soldiers."
Zhao Guogong shook his head, "My Da Jin Erlang, who can write a pen when dismounted, and kill the enemy when mounted? In the future, Bai Shan will always be the governor, right? If the official luck is good, he may also be a Jiedu envoy. Who doesn't need to be in charge of soldiers?"
Unlike the literati in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the literati in the Jin Dynasty had a heroic spirit. Being able to fight on horseback was a basic requirement. Like Wei Zhi, Old Tang, and Feng Shangshu, who had never been on the battlefield and commanded a soldier
Even Liu Shangshu, who used to follow the army to raise rations, was robbed by the enemy from time to time, or took people to rob the enemy.
Man Bao choked for a moment, nodded after a while and said: "You are right, when he comes back, let him practice martial arts and riding and shooting harder."
Zhao Guogong said: "These are small ways, the most important thing is to be ruthless, and learn some military books along the way, but what you learn in the books may not be useful, just fight two more battles."
When Zhao Guogong said this, his heart moved. Bai Shan was able to block his knife, which showed that he still had some skills, so he wanted to win him over to the ranks of generals. If he entered the military department, the military department would ask the household department for money in the future, and there would be people fighting with each other. up.
So he became enthusiastic, and said to Zhou Man: "You treat the wound on his hand well, and I will take him to the battlefield after Anshicheng comes down."
He said: "The Ministry of War is much better than the other five."
Man Bao: ...
She had to change the soup for Zhao Guogong again.
Zhao Guogong received a bowl of bitter tonic soup, and the soldier who came over with the soup said cautiously: "General Manager, Mr. Zhou said that this medicine is very expensive. It was saved in the army with great difficulty. Please drink it slowly."
Zhao Guogong looked at the dark soup and frowned, "What are the pieces inside?"
"Meat!" The soldier said, "So this is medicinal food, it's not considered medicine, it's very precious."
It was repeatedly emphasized that it was precious, and it was difficult for Zhao Guogong not to eat it. He swallowed and asked, "I don't know if there is any extra. I see that His Majesty looks very tired."
The soldier said: "No, just a small jar, and Mr. Zhou said that this medicinal food is specially prepared for you. It depends on your physical condition. Your Majesty may not be suitable for it."
Zhao Guogong was even more suspicious. He suspected that Zhou Man was avenging his personal revenge. There were many reasons. It might be because his knife broke Bai Shan's mouth, or it might be because he said that he would not be threatened by Goguryeo because of Bai Shan.
Anyway, there are many reasons.
In terms of relationship... Hey, they seem to have a good relationship.
At least they are much better than Ashina and Qibi Heli. The people you usually see when you look up and down are relatives.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guogong reached out to take the bowl, took a sip, and almost vomited it.
The soldier still looked at him enviously.
Zhao Guogong struggled to eat a bowl of medicinal food, but it was not bitter, the taste was indescribable in words, and the piece of meat was not tasty, the gravy tasted like medicine, and there was no pleasure in eating meat at all.
Zhao Guogong stuffed the bowl to the soldier, turned around and left.
The soldier shouted from behind, "Chairman, Mr. Zhou asked you to drink more water."
During the discussion, the emperor couldn't help but look at Zhao Guogong's face, and the others also watched quietly.
Zhao Guogong raised his head to look at them, held back, but couldn't hold back, "Your Majesty, have you lost your dignity?"
The emperor withdrew his gaze, and said solemnly: "No, it's just that you don't look very well, brother. Is it because you've been too tired recently, or you can take a while to attack. Bai Shan is on an envoy, so give him some time."
"No," Zhao Guogong said immediately, "If you stop attacking at this time, it will be harming him."
General Ashina also said: "It can be postponed, but it cannot be stopped."
Zhao Guogong touched his face and asked darkly: "Is my face ugly?"
The emperor said nothing, and General Ashina said tactfully: "It's not ugly, but I heard that Mr. Zhou specially made a tonic soup for Zhao Guogong..."
Then it should be that the tonic soup will be drunk when the deficiency reaches a certain level, right
Even he, who fought continuously for two days and one night, only got needles for two days after he came down, and he didn't need to drink any medicine.
Qi Bi He Li glanced at Zhao Guogong, glanced up and down at him in a dark way, straightened his back a little proudly, and raised his chin by two points.
Zhao Guogong: ... so angry, his reputation was ruined, he would have known that he would not eat that bowl of tonic soup.
He didn't want to face them here, so he raised his hand and clenched his fist and said, "Your Majesty, please fight and take down Dongsanjie."
The emperor became more serious, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Will the attack at this time be harmful to Bai Shan?"
Zhao Guogong said: "Bai Shan should have been there at this time, but if the Goguryeo people want to frighten him, they will definitely not see him right away. This battle is just a chance for me to give him a greeting card."
The emperor nodded after thinking about it, and said: "Slow down, and let them know our sincerity."
"Yes." Zhao Guogong took the order to go, and soon led people out of the camp to go to the city. When he left the camp, he happened to meet Zhou Man leading a group of students who had just returned from the prisoner camp for follow-up consultation, so he stopped Ma looked at Zhou Man and said, "Master Zhou, I remembered your medicine."
Man Bao smiled and said: "Chief Manager, you will know the magical effect of this medicine when you come back from the battle, and I will not harm you."
Zhao Guogong snorted. Of course he knew that Zhou Man would not harm him, but it was true that he made the soup so bad on purpose, and made him laugh.
Zhao Guogong went into the city with his soldiers and horses.
Seeing groups of soldiers and horses passing by, Zhou Liru was a little worried, "Sister-in-law, uncle is in the enemy camp, so it will be okay for them to send troops at this time, right?"
Man Bao looked in the direction of the city quietly, and said: "It's good to attack slowly, this is also Bai Shan's stepping stone, otherwise it is uncertain when we will see people."
At this time, Bai Shan was standing in front of a courtyard, surrounded by people coming and going, someone who came out of the house and passed by him would look at him, and someone who entered the house from the outside would also look at him.
Bai Shan just stood in the yard with a slight smile, straightening his sleeves leisurely, occasionally looking at the scenery of the yard, not in a hurry.
It wasn't when the sun was at its highest in June and July that he wasn't afraid to stand. It was just right for him to grow taller by basking in the sun.
