Li Zhiyun stayed in Gaocheng City for another day and couldn't stay any longer. Judging from the second brother's tone, this battle can't be fought for a while, so there won't be much excitement for him. Besides, it's boring for him to stay here with nothing to do, so he might as well go back to Chang'an. However, before leaving, Li Zhiyun planned to go to Li Guang Temple again to say hello to his second brother.
Li Zhiyun took Zhang Zheng, Cai Hu and several guards out of the city. The scenery along the way is beautiful and picturesque. Everyone drove their horses to the temple gate. Li Zhiyun got off his horse and took the lead in walking in.
Li Zhiyun led everyone to the backyard and happened to meet Yin Kaishan. He hurriedly asked: "Yin Sima, is my second brother here?" Yin Kaishan nodded and said: "In the house. However, the prince is sick." Li Zhiyun said Hearing this, he was surprised and said quickly: "What's going on?"
"I don't know. No, I'm just going to invite the doctor." Yin Kaishan said and left in a hurry.
Li Zhiyun quickly walked into the house and saw his second brother lying on the bed leaning against the quilt, looking tired and sick. Liu Wenjing was so anxious that she walked around the room. Li Zhiyun walked over and sat beside the bed, grabbed the second brother's hand and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" The second brother said feebly, "I don't know, I just feel cold all over..."
Only then did Li Zhiyun realize that the second brother's hands were trembling. Moreover, his whole body was shivering, which was a typical symptom before a high fever. Liu Wenjing came over and said: "Your Majesty, you were fine this morning. He suddenly became ill just now and can't even stand still." The second brother's lips were cyanotic and he trembled: "I...I felt a headache yesterday, my whole body felt weak, and my limbs were weak. …”
Li Zhiyun frowned and turned to Liu Wenjing: "Could my second brother have caught the cold?" Liu Wenjing pondered for a moment and nodded: "It's possible. The prince has always been in good health, but he suddenly fell ill..."
While they were talking, Yin Kaishan called for the doctor. The doctor is in his thirties and his surname is Jia. He is a thin monkey with a yellowish donkey face, blistered eyes and a few rat whiskers on his chin.
Li Zhiyun stood up and made room, and Liu Wenjing took a spoon and placed it next to the bed. Dr. Jia sat on the stool and began to look around and ask questions. The other three people stared at him nervously. After Dr. Jia finished the diagnosis, he stroked the rat whiskers and said slowly, "Your Majesty feels malaria."
"Malaria?" Yin Kaishan heard this and hurriedly asked, "Are you saying that the prince has malaria?"
Malaria? Malaria? Li Zhiyun had never heard of it. However, the medical terminology of ancient people may be different from that of modern times. He thought for a while and said, "Are you saying that my second brother has malaria?" Doctor Jia didn't understand what he said, but said vaguely, "Maybe." Then, he still stroked the rat's beard and said, " "Suwen Treatise on Malaria" says: Malaria 'is hidden in the skin, outside the intestines and stomach, and this is the home of the nourishing qi'. 'External evil can enter and cause malaria, and every time it is hidden in half the surface and half inside, it enters and If it competes with yin, it will be cold; if it competes with yang, it will be hot...'"
Li Zhiyun didn't have time to listen to him lifting his book bag, so he quickly interrupted him and said, "Doctor Jia, tell me quickly, how to cure this disease?" Doctor Jia stopped stroking his beard and said, "It's very simple. The prince must leave. On the front line, find a place to rest, and Jia will use decoction and acupuncture, and he will be cured in ten months."
"Leave the front line?" Ban Kaishan became anxious upon hearing this, "No, the prince still has to command the war!"
Li Zhiyun became angry when he heard this and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? My second brother is so sick, how can he direct the war?" Yin Kaishan glanced at him and stopped talking.
The second brother waved his hand weakly, telling them to stop arguing. Then he asked the soldiers next to him to help him sit up, and said with trembling lips: "Liu Wenjing, Yin Kaishan, you two will take command for me. Remember, if Xue Ju comes to challenge, be careful not to accept the challenge, and guard the camp. Wait until I recover. Later, I will defeat him for you." When Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan heard this, they both cupped their fists and said, "Yes!"
The second brother coughed violently again, and then gasped: "Fifth brother, help me get out of bed quickly. Someone bring my horse over, I want to go back to Gaocheng City." Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyun frowned and said: " Second brother, how can you ride a horse when you are so ill?" He turned around and said to Zhang Zheng, who had been standing at the door: "Zhang Zheng, quickly go find a stretcher." Zhang Zheng clasped his fists and agreed, turning around walked away.
After a while, a stretcher came. Li Zhiyun asked people to put the bedding on the stretcher, helped his second brother to lie down on the stretcher, and then asked his bodyguards and his second brother's soldiers to carry the stretcher out of Li Guang Temple and went straight to Gao'an City.
After entering Gaocheng City, the second brother was placed in a mansion. Li Zhiyun also moved here from the post house to take care of his second brother.
As soon as Li Zhiyun settled down, he went to his second brother's house. He walked in and saw his second brother lying on the bed, his face looking like rouge. He hurriedly sat down by the bed and touched his second brother's forehead with his hand. Oh my God, it was as hot as a stove, at least forty degrees. The second brother was having chills just now, and now he's having a fever again.
Li Zhiyun stood up and was about to go out to get a basin of cold water to cool down his second brother when Dr. Jia walked in. Li Zhiyun said hurriedly: "Doctor Jia, my second brother's forehead is hot and he is running a high fever." Dr. Jia stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "Yang heat is more severe, if there is less cold and more heat, it is warm malaria; If Yang is deficient and cold is strong, with more cold and less heat, it is called cold malaria. If the heat is very cold and mild, or even strong but not cold, it is called heat miasma..."
Li Zhiyun interrupted him unbearably: "Doctor Jia, stop reciting medical books to me. It's important to treat my second brother quickly!" Dr. Jia then stopped shaking his head and said: "King Chu, don't worry, Jia has already opened the door." After a few doses of decoction, the person was suffering. Jia gave King Qin acupuncture first, and the fever was relieved in a short time." After saying that, he walked to the bed, took off the medicine box on his shoulder, took out the acupuncture box, and began to give Second brother gets an acupuncture...
After Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan sent Li Shimin away, they returned to Li Guang Temple. As soon as they entered the courtyard, a general came over and said, clasping his fists: "My lords, according to scouts, Xue Ju's army has arrived and is stationed at Mangjie Mountain, ten miles away from here."
After hearing this, Liu Wenjing nodded and said, "I understand." He turned to Yin Kaishan and said, "Now that the prince is gone, let's not live in this ruined temple anymore. Let's move to the military camp, where it will be more convenient to direct the war. "Yin Kaishan nodded and said: "Okay."
They moved the central military tent to the camp. At midnight on the next day, a general came to report that Xue Ju had led his troops to challenge and had reached the front of the camp. The two people quickly left the Chinese military tent and boarded a watchtower. Liu Wenjing set up a pergola with her hands and looked into the distance. She saw flags fluttering and dust flying a few miles away. Xue Ju's troops were arranged in square formations. The military discipline was strict and the lineup was powerful, which was terrifying.
Liu Wenjing immediately ordered the soldiers around him to blow the horn, telling the soldiers in each battalion to prepare for the enemy.
After about half a stick of incense, the enemy began to attack, and the shouts of soldiers and the neighing of war horses resounded throughout the night. The soldiers of the Tang army calmly responded to the battle, stood firm in the camp, and shot the enemies with bows and crossbows.
Xue Ju's army was blocked by the Shenhao Barrier. Several consecutive attacks failed and fell into the sand.
Although the enemy's attack was repelled, Yin Kaishan felt that his side was too cowardly to huddle in the camp. After coming down from the watchtower, he said to Liu Wenjing: "The prince is worried that you can't retreat from the enemy, so he asked us to stick to the camp. Once the thieves know that the prince is sick, they will definitely despise us. Therefore, we should show our force to deter the thieves." Soldiers!" Liu Wenjing listened, nodded, and said: "You are right. Tomorrow we will go to Qianshuiyuan to form an array and fight the bandits."
After Xue Ju led the army back to the military camp, he walked into the central military tent, took off his helmet and armor, sat in front of the desk, picked up the tea offered by his soldiers, and drank tea while thinking.
Since Li Shimin defeated Xue Rengao in Fufeng County last time, he once again captured the two cities of Gao'an and Yiluchuan. Xue Ju felt that if he did not fight back, Li Shimin would eat his Qin country one bite at a time like silkworms eating mulberry leaves.
Xue Ju knew that his son was no match for Li Shimin, so he personally led an army of hundreds of thousands to challenge Li Shimin. But what he didn't expect was that Li Shimin was deeply entrenched in the barrier and couldn't hold on, leaving him helpless. It seemed that Li Shimin lived up to his reputation and was a formidable opponent. The advantage of his own expedition was to fight quickly, and Li Shimin immediately grasped his weak threat. Xue Ju had a strong feeling that this time he might not succeed.
After breakfast the next day, Xue Ju was hesitating whether to go to the Tang Army camp to challenge him, when Xue Rengao and Luo Zonghui walked in. When Xue Rengao saw him, he shouted: "Abba, good news, the Tang army is arranging troops in Qianshuiyuan." Xue Ju didn't understand and was confused: "What did you say?" Xue Rengao had to explain in detail: " Dad, the Tang army has left the camp and formed an array at Qianshuiyuan, southwest of Gao'an City, to fight us."
After hearing this, Xue Ju was not surprised at all, but full of doubts: Li Shimin left the camp? How can this be? What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?
"Could this be a trap set by Li Shimin for us?" Xue Ju murmured to himself.
Luo Zonghuo on the side clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general sent a spy to infiltrate the Tang army. According to the news he sent back, Li Shimin was seriously ill and handed over the command to Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan." Xue Ju's eyes widened when he heard this. Liang Liang asked quickly: "Is this news accurate?"
"Absolutely true!"
I see! Xue Ju realized this in a panic, and suddenly felt a stone in his heart fell to the ground. He quickly ordered: "You two go back quickly to gather the army, and come with me to take a look!" Xue Ju put on his armor with the service of his soldiers, walked out of the tent, mounted his horse, and led the army to Qianshuiyuan.
