Qin Ming took the envelope with doubts and read it in front of everyone.
The envelope contained a special letter asking for help. The reason why it was special was that it was not asking for reinforcements, but for medical relief supplies such as alcohol and medicinal materials.
After Qin Ming read the contents of the letter, he recalled that Li Jing had just said that he wanted to ask for his opinion on something, and he probably had a guess in his mind.
He put the letter in the envelope and handed it to Li Jing respectfully.
"General Manager, could it be that you want your subordinates to lead the military medical team to Dingxi City first to treat the wounded soldiers?"
Li Jing laughed loudly and said:
"Qin Canjun is really very smart, and he knows everything."
"I do intend to let you take the first step, but you brought most of the doctors in this military medical team, so I naturally want to listen to your opinion."
"If you are willing to lead the military medical team and rush to Dingxi City first to treat the wounded soldiers. I am willing to send a general and three thousand light cavalry to escort you there."
Having said this, Li Jing's expression became solemn and he said righteously:
"If you don't want to go, you can just say so. I will never force you."
Qin Ming lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and secretly cursed the old fox.
[You have said all this in front of all the generals. If I refuse again, how will others think of me? ]
[Besides, am I the kind of person who doesn’t want to save anyone? ]
Complaints are complaints, since he has to go now, it would be better to gain a good impression in front of a group of military bosses.
So in front of all the generals, Qin Ming's expression was unprecedentedly solemn and serious.
He bowed to Li Jing solemnly and said righteously:
"The original intention of my subordinates in proposing the establishment of a military medical team was to treat the injuries of the injured Paoze brothers."
"Now I heard about the dilemma faced by the colleagues of Youwu Guard and the soldiers of Dingxi Mansion."
"My heart is as sharp as a knife, and naturally I can't bear to see brother Paoze, bleeding and crying. I am willing to lead the military medical team to rush to Dingxi City first to rescue the injured Paoze."
As soon as these words came out, the generals present, regardless of their official positions, looked at Qin Ming in a different way.
He became a little more respectful than before.
At this time, Xue Wanche took a step forward, bowed to Li Jing and said:
"General Manager, I would like to lead three thousand light cavalry to escort Qin Canjun and the military medical team to Dingxi City. I also ask the General Manager to fulfill my request."
.......
At noon, on the official road five miles away from Jinguang Gate in Chang'an City, a fast horse galloped up, bringing up a cloud of smoke.
The guards on duty on the Jinguangmen archery tower raised their heads to cover the sun and looked from a distance. After realizing that it was Hong Ling who was urgently envoy, the guards quickly stuck their heads out of the city wall and shouted at the bottom of the city at the top of their lungs:
"Hong Ling's urgent envoy is here. Quickly, let the city gate out."
Hearing this, the soldiers downstairs did not dare to delay, and hurriedly joined their companions to disperse the people lining up at the city gate.
Not long after, a maroon horse appeared in everyone's sight.
Hong Ling on horseback hurriedly raised the corner of his mouth, and shouted loudly the moment he passed through the city gate:
"On March 14, there was a great victory on the Longyou Road. The Youwu Guards annihilated 15,000 Tuyuhun men in Dingxi City, and killed Tuyuhun general Murong Bo..."
Half an hour later, the side hall of Ganlu Hall.
Li Shimin looked at the good news in his hand and laughed.
"Happily, Jingde is indeed my beloved general."
Changsun Wuji and others who were standing by heard the words and also echoed:
"The Duke of E is indeed very brave, but if His Majesty had not been wise enough to appoint him as a vanguard general, the outcome of this war would have been unknown."
"In the final analysis, the Duke of E is able to accomplish this great feat only because of His Majesty's trust."
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this.
I thought to myself, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the auxiliary words must be spoken, which are the most pertinent and I like to hear them.
At this moment, Li Ji, who had just read the victory report, let out a sigh, looked to the left and right and asked:
"Does any of you know this Zhang Xiaojing from Longyou Road?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he also realized that he had overlooked another figure who played a key role in this battle.
Although the battle report only used a few words to describe the fighting situation under the East City Gate, everyone present knew how difficult it was to defend the gate for half an hour under the attack of five thousand enemy troops.
So after Li Shimin heard Li Ji's question, he looked at the generals in the palace with the same curiosity.
At this moment, Qin Qiong, Duke of Yi State, stood up with a smile and said:
"Zhang Xiaojing is from Wannian County, Chang'an. He was born as a commoner. He joined Zuowuwei in the ninth year of Wude. He was twenty-four years old."
"In the fourth year of Zhenguan, he made many military exploits in the battle to destroy the Turks. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, he was promoted to the captain of Zhechong and led the 33rd Zhechong Mansion of Longyou Road."
"This man is brave in battle and always takes the lead in every battle. He is a good young man."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Li Ji smiled and said:
"It should be so. If he hadn't taken the lead, it would have been difficult for the soldiers from Dingxi and Yuzhong counties to resist for such a long time."
Li Shimin on the side nodded slightly, stroking his short beard, and glanced at Wu Tongue with difficulty.
Wu Shi understood and knew that His Majesty wanted him to find out the details of this person.
So he bowed without leaving a trace and exited the side hall.
Everyone was focused on the battle report at this time, and no one noticed Wu Shi's departure.
After a while
A trace of disappointment appeared on Li Shimin's face. He suddenly sighed and said:
"Hey, it's a pity. It would be great if I could control the army and conquer it myself."
"If I were to command these ten thousand Qingqi, none of those barbarians would be able to escape."
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Ji couldn't help curling his lips.
He coughed dryly, pointed at the sand table and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, why don't we rehearse on the sand table based on the troop deployment of both sides in the battle of Dingxi City?"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, he rubbed his hands and said:
"OK!"
.......
At this time, on the official road of Longyou Road.
After an hour of busy work, Qin Ming and others finally packed their bags.
Because there were too many wounded people in Dingxicheng and they were in urgent need of replenishing alcohol and various medicinal materials, Qin Ming and Li Jing discussed it and decided that everyone heading to Dingxicheng this time would ride on horseback.
This time Qin Ming brought a total of 120 teachers and students from Qingbei Medical College, of which almost half were teachers and students who could ride horses.
Most of these people are men, and only a few are young ladies.
And now the only young lady appeared in front of Qin Ming, riding a tall horse and ready to go.
Qin Ming raised his head and glanced at several people, his eyes resting on the leading woman.
Qin Ming smiled bitterly and said:
"Lady Baili, do you want to think about it again?"
"Let's not talk about whether there will be any danger on this road. I just say that I rushed to Dingxi City in advance this time because I was in a hurry to save people."
"There won't be much time to rest along the way. With your bodies, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
"So you guys should listen to my advice and stay with Dean Sun."
