The heavy rain in Chang'an would have been a huge flood if it had not been for the excellent water conservancy facilities. But now, the water flows from the ground into the Wei River, and Zhang Lu's plan to flood the city with heavy rain cannot be realized.
However, Yueyang Village was misty and rainy, moistening things silently.
The outside of Fengming Garden was filled with people. Their eyes were expectant and nervous, because Liu Jin'er and Zhen Mi were giving birth to a baby.
The common people all know that if the lord has a heir, the civil servants, military officers and common people will be more united.
In Fengming Garden, the midwife held Liu Jin'er's hand tightly and said, "Madam, please push harder, the baby's fetal position is correct, you will be fine."
God knows what giving birth means to a woman. Liu Jin'er burst into tears and shouted Lin Ze's name while exerting force.
Liu Jin'er was in good health, and Zhang Zhongjing had always helped with the pregnancy. The birth went smoothly. As the child cried, the midwife said excitedly: "It's a son, a baby boy! Huh? There's another one, there's another one, madam, There is another one, twins!”
After giving birth to one, the second one was much easier. The midwife said in surprise: "I'm so happy. Madam has given birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes. I'm so happy!"
Liu Jin'er breathed a sigh of relief and said weakly: "Mi'er, where is Mi'er?"
Diao Chan stayed by Liu Jin'er's side and said, "Mi'er is too young. The baby hasn't even revealed its head yet. It's a bit dangerous!"
"If there can only be one, Lord Bao!" After saying this, Liu Jin'er fainted.
Zhen Mi had never felt that she was in such pain. Why should she suffer such pain in her life? But when she thought of Lin Ze's appearance, she thought that she must give birth to the child.
The midwife said anxiously: "Madam, you have to work harder. If the baby doesn't show its head, we will be in trouble!"
Zhen Mi bit her lip so hard that it bled. It was not until night that she heard a burst of crying, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhen Mi felt like half of her life was gone. She said, "My child, you almost killed my mother!"
Shi Liuliu went out and shouted to the people gathered here: "Mrs. Jin'er, Mrs. Mi'er, mother and son are safe. The eldest is a man, the second is a daughter, and the third is a man. Folks, disperse. Bar!"
The news soon spread all over the country. As soon as the news came out, the whole country was excited. This was the best shot in the arm during wartime. Even if the lord died in battle, there would be an heir to the country.
As the sun rose, Liu Jin'er opened her eyes and looked at the fetus beside her, with a gentle expression on her face. As a mother, she had an intellectual beauty in her body. She whispered: "Who are you? Do you know who I am?" I am your mother, and when your father comes back, I will give you a nice name!"
The important task of postpartum recovery was left to Zhang Zhongjing. He carefully prepared medicinal meals for the two ladies. Liu Jin'er asked: "How is Mi'er?"
Zhang Zhongjing replied: "Mrs. Mi'er is too young and is not at the best age for childbirth, so her vitality is damaged. Fortunately, she is young and will recover quickly."
Liu Jin'er felt relieved and said, "I don't know how my husband is doing."
At this moment, the Chang'an battlefield was still filled with fog and corpses were everywhere. The soldiers exchanged their deaths for the lives of the people and protected the birth of Lin Ze's child.
But from another perspective, Lin Ze was actually protecting them.
Lin Ze shook off the blood on his sword, closed his eyes, and heard an enemy flying towards him from the heavy fog. He drew a Tai Chi diagram with empty steps, took a step sideways, and used the Longquan Sword to provoke an enemy towards him. Seventy percent of the force of the stabbing weapon was removed, and the remaining three points were used to create an almost perfect Tai Chi circle. Lin Ze's long sword steadily chopped off the enemy's head.
Lin Ze's methods were so powerful. When the Tai Chi sword moves were danced, it was full of brilliance.
His sword moves seemed to be very slow, but the friction between the sword blade and the air made the sword buzz, as if an ancient war song was echoing between heaven and earth.
Even the blood falling from the tip of the sword has murderous intent.
The people who came to kill Lin Ze were all masters of the Five Pecks of Rice Cult, and they were quite famous in the world. But around Lin Ze, all the attacks were like a bull in the sea, and their strength disappeared in an instant. They were no match at all.
At this moment, in the external war situation, Lin Ze's soldiers had grasped the rhythm of the battlefield and the characteristics of the Hanzhong army, and had begun to make strategic adjustments.
The female warriors of the Yueying Group all rushed into the fog. Although they could not see clearly, they had all performed Wing Chun bridge listening training. They stood in strange positions in the fog and helped each other defend themselves. They were able to guard against almost all their masters. Enter the battlefield.
There are also experts in Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu didn't come in person. The one leading the team this time was his younger brother Zhang Wei. Looking at this, only by taking down Lin Ze could the situation be quickly reversed. He pulled out his long sword and rushed towards Lin Ze quickly.
Lin Ze also felt a crisis at this moment and reacted quickly, raising his sword to face the enemy until Zhang Wei revealed his figure. His eyes were sharp and he raised his sword to block. The sword blades met, but there was no sound of metal collision. sound.
Zhang Wei felt a sticking feeling coming from his long sword, so he hurriedly separated and changed his moves. Lin Ze was always behind the attack, and his sword moves were smooth and flowing. They seemed slow, but they contained the power of nature, while Zhang Wei used his speed to strike. Fight slowly, but the sword moves are fierce.
In the mist, the two figures were flying like ghosts, and the scene was thrilling. Lin Ze's Tai Chi sword belongs to Dacheng. In later generations, he has never encountered an opponent in swordsmanship. Now, he has really met a master. His sword skills are better than Liu Bei's. The male and female double swords are much more powerful.
This requires some thinking. Lin Ze deliberately used a flaw to attract Zhang Wei's long sword to thrust out. Lin Ze quickly enveloped his sword light in his own sword energy, and the Tai Chi "Zhan" formula immediately took effect. , affecting Zhang Wei's tactics.
At this moment, Zhang Wei knew that he was no match for Lin Ze and would be killed by his sword within three moves. He hurriedly feinted with his sword and distanced himself from Lin Ze. Lin Ze knew that he could not hurt Zhang Wei. The foot kicked him in the butt.
Zhang Wei placed the sword across his chest, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Lin Ze, he is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is a master. He can bring peace to the world with his pen and his horse can make peace with his martial arts. In such a situation, you can Protect Guanzhong, but let me tell you, you will never be able to capture Hanzhong in this life. If you can capture Hanzhong, our Five Pecks of Rice Sect will recognize you as our master!"
Lin Ze snorted and said, "If something happens to my military advisor, I will slaughter your Hanzhong!"
"If you're not convinced, come and give it a try!" After saying that, he waved his robe, and it seemed to turn into pieces and disappear into the air.
Lin Ze was a little confused. Is this an escape technique?
As Zhang Wei left, the fog dissipated, revealing the battlefield. Corpses were covered with armored horses, and the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong began to flee.
Lin Ze called Du Xiao over and whispered a few words in her ear. Du Xiao nodded, tightened his mouth and let out a rhythmic whistle. The soldiers of the Yueying Regiment understood the instructions and quickly found Hanzhong soldiers and horses. They took off their clothes and followed the fleeing soldiers and horses.
After a day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered a large number of casualties. Corpses were everywhere, and tens of thousands of soldiers lost their lives forever.
But Lin Ze achieved his strategic goal and drove back the soldiers of Hanzhong, and he won.
The three armies of Lijian, Leishen and Langya robbed the defeated Hanzhong army's food and supplies, retreated and set up camp to bury the fallen soldiers and treat the injured soldiers.
Lin Ze saw Guo Jia, who was still in a coma, breathless and hot all over.
Guo Jia's health was not good to begin with, and Lin Ze finally managed to adjust him to a normal body. But this time, he might have relapsed.
Lin Ze listened to Guo Jia's pulse and found that there was nothing wrong with his internal organs. No wonder the army doctor couldn't find out what was wrong with him. This symptom was poisoning, a blood toxin. If he wanted to save the person, maybe Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo had the same problem. However, when he encountered this kind of disease in later generations, he always used antibiotics directly.
Antibiotics are a class of secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms or higher animals and plants in the course of their lives that have anti-pathogen or other activities. The development of antibiotics is a problem that his generation simply cannot complete.
Lin Ze's brows furrowed into a knot. There were no bite wounds on his body. Where was the poison?
Lin Ze called Zhang Liao over and asked, "General Wenyuan, think about it carefully. Before Fengxiao fell ill, did he touch, smell, or eat something?"
Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "What the soldiers eat, the military advisor eats. There is nothing special. Our soldiers and horses pay great attention to personal cleanliness. The military advisor is another example. It is definitely not poisoned by what they eat."
"That's strange. Could it be that the Five Pecks of Rice Cult really has the ability to attack villains?"
Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "My lord, on the way out of Chencang Road, a pile of corpses suddenly fell on the cliff, and the military advisor touched the corpses!"
Lin Ze frowned again and said, "Could it be that he was poisoned by corpse poison?"
Zhang Liao stared and said, "Is there a ghost?"
Lin Ze had experienced the return of Yu Ji and Pang De, and was not so sure. He said: "It's hard to say about ghosts, but corpse poison is not that evil. It is actually a virus produced after the corpse rots. I have a prescription. I don’t know if it’s possible. In this case, let’s go back to Yueyang Village first, the military advisor’s life is not in danger for the time being, and see if Zhang Zhongjing can do anything.”
Lin Ze learned this prescription from a horror book. He doesn't know if it's true or the author just made it up, but let's treat a dead horse as a living horse.
Lin Ze wrote down a prescription for Zhang Liao, which required one tael of essence and blood from a strong young man aged 35 to 20 who was born on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and take it immediately, and then pick a piece of open-air bluestone about half a kilogram from the sunny slope of the mountain.
One penny for velvet antler, one penny for ginseng, and 3 taels of strong liquor. Put the velvet antler and ginseng in 3 liang of strong liquor and seal it for half a month. Filter out the residue and leave only the liquor.
Then fill a casserole with half a pot of water, place the bluestone on the charcoal fire until it is hot, and quickly put it into the water in the casserole. When the bluestone is completely cool, take out the bluestone and let the water in the pot settle. Take 3 taels and put it into a Inside the porcelain bowl.
Collect one ounce of men's blood and essence and slowly pour it into a bowl. Stir while putting it. When the essence and blood merge with the water, quickly pour the whole cup of medicinal wine into the cup and stir quickly until the mixture is even. The time should not exceed half a quarter of an hour. Immediately after the mixing is completed, the poison will be released. After taking it, the person can lie still for several days without any serious problems.
Lin Ze remembered this method entirely because the things that needed to be prepared were in line with the dialectics of traditional Chinese medicine.
Cao Cao couldn't care about going south for the time being, so Lin Ze ordered the Langya Group Army to stay here and wait for him to come back to destroy Zhang Lu.
The whole territory of Guanzhong was preparing for war. Lin Ze also gave Fazheng a task to find Ma Chao and recruit him under his command. Ma Chao now had no choice but to defect to him.
When leaving here, Lin Ze watched the soldiers pulling out the corpses of his comrades, looking at the furious Guo Jia, and felt furious in his heart. No matter what Zhang Lu inherited Zhang Daoling's secret skills, he would have to kill him, and then break him into pieces. Thousands of corpses, whether the city is massacred or not depends on the mentality of the people of Hanzhong under the rule of theocracy.
Thinking back on the battle with Zhang Wei, Lin Ze's eyes became sharper.
Taoism is the state religion and a tradition of the Chinese nation. People did not expect that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it developed in such a chaotic way. No matter what magic they had, it must be integrated.
The carriage was speeding. Lin Ze looked at the Qinling Mountains in a daze, and then turned his attention to the southwest, which was Yizhou. Lin Ze began to lose focus. Zhuge Liang was in the middle, taking Jingzhou first, and then Yizhou. I don’t know what Liu Bei’s situation is now. .
I don't even know what Ziwu's situation is now. The Yi Cong troops have been away for so long and there is no news at all. Could something have happened?
