After eating the mutton hot pot, time seems to have passed by in a swish.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a lantern festival in the city. This year, the lantern festival was not so lively. Only some people came out to look at the lanterns. The dignitaries and dignitaries closed their doors, as if today was a mourning day rather than a festive festival.
The twenty-seven days that should have been banned for the late emperor had not yet passed, so they dared not openly frolic.
Snow fell for the 15th day, and many houses collapsed in the suburbs of Huaijing, not to mention all over the country. This year, no matter how good it is, has cast a layer of haze.
There seem to be some unharmonious rumors in the capital, all of which are spread in the aristocratic circle in private, and no one dares to speak on the stage.
"There is a snow disaster this year, and it is said that the one above did not pay tribute to the late emperor regardless of filial piety. God can't bear it!"
This kind of statement is better than what they expected at the beginning. After all, it is only said by nobles, and they dare not say it in the face, so it has no impact on ordinary people. But what should come will always come, and the people are very suspicious of whether the new emperor is not the emperor chosen by the gods, so this is why he encountered this problem just after he ascended the throne.
The court didn't care much about this rumor, and only controlled it so that it didn't cause a sensation, but people were talking about it all over the place until the 16th day of the first lunar month.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor issued a series of imperial orders to advertise the world.
First, it is said that the late emperor passed away on the Shangyuan Festival, and the whole country mourned, and ordered mourning for three months, banning banquets, frolics, drinking, marriage and other activities for 27 days. When the snow disaster has not yet passed, officials and female relatives do not have to come to the palace to mourn, but they need to set up a small Buddhist hall at home, and pray for the late emperor in the Buddhist hall every day.
The second is to rebuke the northern Huns for tearing up the covenant and attacking the city during the natural disaster of the dynasty, so that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will go to the northern land to command troops, and the Xiongnu will inevitably be hit on the grasslands. At the same time, Qiao Mingyu was awarded the position of general of the country, and he was in the first rank, and ordered the old general who is now leading troops to guard the north to prepare for the handover of the army. The eldest prince, Prince Zhuang, was the lieutenant and accompanied the princess on the expedition.
Third, before the snowstorm had passed, the imperial court allocated relief materials and ordered the second prince, Prince Jian, to personally go to the most severely stricken areas for relief, accompanied by hundreds of doctors.
Fourth, the country name was changed to "Tianrui", and the posthumous title of the late emperor was officially advertised in the world.
Perhaps it is unknown whether the new emperor is the real son of the emperor or what, the day after the imperial order was issued, on the 17th day of the first lunar month, most parts of the country were sunny and no longer snowed. These imperial orders quickly spread across most of the country before the snow stopped.
As soon as the imperial order fell, the snow stopped, and the message about the new emperor was self-defeating. On the contrary, another rumor appeared, saying that the late emperor was sluggish, so there was a snow disaster. As a result, the snow stopped as soon as the late emperor died, indicating that the snow disaster had nothing to do with the new emperor.
Eighty percent of this message was passed on by someone from the new emperor, but the people believed it.
Lingsu, who got the news, breathed a sigh of relief, but he has been estimating the days when the snow will stop, but nothing has gone wrong.
Now that the snow has stopped in most parts of the country, the impact of the snow disaster is not particularly serious. There are only three provinces that are still snowing, but two of them are light snow. With the support of the imperial court, there will be no problems for the time being. Lingsu calculated that the snow in those two provinces is about to stop, and the disaster will not be too serious. Only the area of northern Jiangxi, where Jianwang went, was still snowing heavily.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but the area of northern Jiangxi is the hometown of the mother family of the four princes. Someone linked this snow to the fourth prince, and there was news that the fourth prince's vain attempt to rebel was unsuccessful.
At this time, Gu Lian had already set off together with Qiao Mingyu, the eunuch, the palace maid.
Ever since she knew she was going to go on an expedition, Gu Lian consciously asked Lanxiang to train the eunuchs and maids of the princess' mansion to deal with traumatic injuries. They dealt with injuries swiftly and swiftly, never sloppy. Although the actual combat experience was a little weak, it would definitely be of great use when they went to the border.
Gu Lian asked them nothing but to deal with as many wounded as possible within a limited time. Wars are basically flesh wounds. Those with serious injuries will be treated by doctors, and those with minor injuries will be treated with medicine and bandages. As long as there are enough medicinal materials and enough people who can bandage, it will do.
However, there are not enough doctors in the army. Most of the time, the wounded must be bandaged by themselves. The doctors can only check the wounds and give them the corresponding medicinal materials. Sometimes the medicinal materials are not enough.
With Gu Lian around, it would be much better. Many of the Gu worms under the Heaven Repairing Art would melt into the water, and the large jar of medicinal liquid left behind was enough to heal many people with minor injuries. You only need to apply the liquid medicine to the wound and wrap it on the bag, and the effect will not be weaker than that of medicine. These palace maids and eunuchs trained by Gu Lian are responsible for directly applying medicinal liquid to bandage. The medicinal liquid can treat most injuries. Other doctors may not be able to accept this magical medicinal liquid in a short time, so they will not use it. It is better to use their own. people.
Those who were lightly injured were using the Die Clothing Gu of Drunk Dance Nine Heavens, and those who were seriously injured were using the Spirit Cloth Gu of Qiandie Spit Core. They were all medicinal liquids. The former could cure minor injuries, while the latter could cure serious injuries.
Holy Hand Weaving Heaven's Weaving Gu Zi Gu is made into pills for oral administration. It is used to hang life. Gu Lian only has 20 pieces in his hand. It is not troublesome to make, but the speed of weaving Gu Zi Gu is relatively slow. One or two, all depends on luck.
Bidie's scale powder is used to detoxify. Usually, water mixed with scale powder can only be used to enhance physical fitness, but the amount of scale powder is small, and Gu Lian is not ready to use it. If you want to enhance your physique, it is better to mix bracken powder into your daily drinking water.
Ice silkworms also have sub-gu, and sub-gu is also made into pills for oral administration. One sub-gu can make ten pills, one the size of a fingertip. It has the best effect on severely injured people, and can treat the damage to the internal organs.
The Life Gu that bewitches all living beings only produces one child Gu at a time, and the child Gu will not die without the second one. If the child Gu host is injured, the mother Gu will take the initiative to transmit qi and blood, and use the child Gu to heal the host. Gu Lian gave Qiao Mingyu the intoxication a long time ago, and the others could only apologise.
With a lot of life-saving sub-gu and medicinal powder, Gu Lian felt that the burden on her body had settled down.
Fortunately, the rice paper had been handed over to the new emperor before, and the medicinal materials should not be too short now, otherwise, no amount of Gu Lian's sub-gu would be able to save it.
The group hurry up and march to the frontier. Fortunately, the army is in the frontier, so there is no need to go with the army, and the speed will be much faster. The people brought by Gu Lian and Qiao Mingyu were all on horseback and by car, and they would arrive in about a month. Military supplies such as medicinal materials have already been on the road ahead of time, and by the time they arrive, the supplies will probably also arrive.
"It's still snowing outside the Great Wall."
Naturally, the snow disaster could not be only in the territory of the Tianxi Dynasty, but also in the Xiongnu side. But the Xiongnu snow fell earlier and lasted longer.
The reason why they had to offend the territory of the Tianxi Dynasty was because the Xiongnu did not have enough food for the winter. On the grasslands, the winter is very cold, there are few nomadic cities, and most of them have no fixed place to live. It is even more difficult to spend the winter. Grab a city, not only have a house to live in, but also grab food, it is really cost-effective. When the winter passes, and then return to the grassland, it is difficult to tell the direction on the vast grassland. At that time, they can easily escape like a duck in water, but the chasing soldiers may not be able to catch up with them.
Almost everyone of the Xiongnu had horses. As cavalry, the infantry could not catch up. The quality of the cavalry of the Tianxi Dynasty was not as high as that of the opponent, and it was easy to ambush when they caught up. It was really difficult to fight.
But fortunately, most of the Xiongnu army is now gathered in the two cities, and there are not many reinforcements on the grassland.
During the march, Qiao Mingyu went into the carriage and rested with Gu Lian at night, so King Zhuang was not so particular about it. He is also a military general. He has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he has also fought in small countries in the south. There were often small-scale frictions between the Tianxi Dynasty and the small country in the southwest. Before that, in order to make King Zhuang the king, the father-in-law of King Zhuang recommended to the late emperor to let King Zhuang go to the south to earn military exploits.
But the old man's abacus was too loud, but he didn't know much about Southwest. The poisonous miasma snake in the southwest region is the most terrifying, and the disease frequently occurs in the hot and humid climate. King Zhuang was considered a fortunate man, so he held on to his feet, and went to a weaker fourth prince, who would have died of illness long ago.
Because of this, King Zhuang felt a lot of coldness towards his wife and clan. After returning to the capital, his wife often took this as a credit, saying, "If my father didn't let you go to the southwest, you would be able to be king now." However, as a wife, she couldn't see that King Zhuang almost died of illness in the southwest. She only felt that those diseases and insects were trivial, and that King Zhuang himself was useless until he fell ill.
Today, Qiao Mingyu invited King Zhuang into the carriage to discuss the battle together.
There were only three of them in the carriage, and King Zhuang was the only one who really fought. Qiao Mingyu spread out the map and pointed to the outside of the fortress: "The snow outside the fortress is getting heavier and heavier, and the Xiongnu are afraid they don't want to go back. Now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, even if they go back, I'm afraid there is no way to go back."
King Zhuang nodded calmly: "The cavalry has no way out, which is good and bad for us."
There is no way out, maybe they can completely annihilate these people, don't worry about them escaping. However, the lack of a retreat also means that the cavalry will be fierce and unusual, and they will fight against the water.
If you succeed, you will be able to open a way of life. If you fail, you will be buried.
Gu Lian's Zhuxiang has already begun to take over the intelligence organization of the Princess Mansion, and Gu Lian has the sorted information in his hand.
"According to the information I got, most of the Xiongnu left behind on the grasslands are old, weak, sick and disabled, but such a heavy snow can at least freeze half to death." Gu Lian expounded the facts with a cold expression, as if he said that no one was frozen. "Death," in order to quickly attack the city, the Xiongnu did not bring a fuel bottle. It's a pity that the gods are not beautiful, and when they captured the city, the snow has already blocked most of their retreat. meet."
King Zhuang glanced at Gu Lian more. He still remembered Gu Lian's performance in the former emperor's bedroom, which made him look at the creature like a woman with admiration.
"Yes, what about the Xiongnu royal family?"
Gu Lian showed a smile: "The royal family is naturally in the city. There is only the young son of the Great Khan left on the grassland. Even if he survives, the remaining Huns may not be able to obey him."
If there is a dispute over rights, there will be civil strife, and the civil strife will not be peaceful. Are you afraid that you will not be able to win the Huns
