Of course, news about Qi's invasion had already reached the court when Qi's army entered the country.
What Li Hao is writing now is mainly about how he discovered the situation and then sent troops to rescue the siege in time.
Just when Li Hao's writing was full of thoughts, Ren Xin had already changed the medicine and walked in with food.
But seeing Li Hao busy at the desk, he didn't intend to disturb him, thinking he would come back later.
But Li Hao was very alert. When he saw someone coming in, he looked up and saw that it was Ren Xin, and said, "Come in, I'll finish writing this right away."
After hearing this, Ren Xin came in, put down his things, and sat aside to wait for Li Hao.
In a short time, this report full of non-documentary techniques was written.
After putting down his pen, Li Hao looked at Ren Xin and asked, "The chaos has just subsided. Where did all this food come from? You made it yourself!"
Ren Xin replied: "I don't have such good skills. These are all made by the cooks in the government office. Your people just found them and asked them to prepare food for the wounded soldiers. When I saw it, I Let them prepare a little alone."
After speaking, he also emphasized one point: "By the way, it has been tested for poison before I brought it over. You can also test it again."
Li Hao smiled when he heard this, stood up and sat next to Ren Xin, took a piece and tasted it.
"Can I still not trust the things you sent me? Even the craftsmanship is still a bit inferior and cannot keep up with the level of Donggong."
Ren Xin saw that Li Hao was still picky about the taste of food at the front line, and said angrily: "It's good to eat some, but you are still picky. If it doesn't taste good, just starve."
"I'm telling the truth. This is indeed not as delicious as Dong Gong's. In this life, you can't bear to suffer anything in your mouth. If you don't have the conditions, that's it. If you have the conditions, why can't you improve your living standard.
Come on, I'll take you to eat delicious food and let you prove that what I say is true. "
After saying that, Li Hao stood up, leaving Ren Xin looking confused.
Surprised: "No, when you came here this time, did you even bring the chef from the East Palace?"
Li Hao replied: "Of course not. I came out to fight, so what do I do with a cook? And if I really want to eat, I can do it myself!"
Apparently Li Hao cooked by himself, which surprised her even more than Li Hao with a cook. She exclaimed: "What?"
Li Hao was startled and said angrily: "You just know how to cook. Why are you so surprised?"
Ren Xin said: "You asked me, they say that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. Who would have thought that you, a dignified prince, can also cook?"
Li Hao replied: "You have only half-understanding of this. A gentleman is like an animal: when he sees its life, he cannot bear to see it die; when he hears its sound, he cannot bear to eat its flesh. Therefore, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen." .
The original meaning is that a gentleman must have a benevolent heart, but it does not simply mean that a gentleman cannot enter the kitchen.
It's just that some people are deliberately misinterpreting it now, just to emphasize the authority of the gentleman and to highlight their own differences. "
After saying that, he asked Ren Xin to take him to the kitchen, where he also happened to inspect the situation of the wounded soldiers.
But because of this, Li Hao didn't get the chance to show off his skills in the end.
Because when inspecting the wounded soldiers, Li Hao discovered that the local doctors' treatment of trauma was still in a three-dimensional state of digging sores, applying medicine, and wearing bandages.
Even during the treatment, there was no classification of priorities, let alone more precise treatment methods.
Therefore, the wounded soldiers still have to fight for their own vitality in the end. Some of them are seriously injured and are already in a critical state.
Although Li Hao has a deep understanding of the price to be paid, when it comes to it, it is really impossible for Li Hao to let it go.
So Li Hao had no choice but to talk to Ren Xin, then turned around and personally led the people to do the treatment.
First, patients are divided into three levels according to critical conditions, and each level is placed separately.
The seriously injured patients were given the highest priority for treatment, and these people were led by Li Hao
Treat yourself.
With the medical experience from his previous life and the help from Yangzhou, Li Hao dared to perform two thoracotomies on him on the spot.
After one night, except for a few who were seriously injured, Li Hao had basically stabilized everyone else.
However, Li Hao was very tired from this, so he could only go back to his room to rest.
But Li Hao's hard work was not in vain. For a time, his reputation as a soldier-loving son quickly spread throughout the city.
After all, in feudal society, as long as the soldiers were fed and paid enough, they would be loved by the soldiers.
Li Hao's behavior was obviously beyond the standard, and the effect was even more significant. Not to mention that Li Hao was still the crown prince, which in itself represented great righteousness and was an important manifestation of their patriotism.
But Li Hao didn't rest long before he was woken up by a sound outside.
Someone came to report to Li Haohan, but was stopped by Ren Xin.
Ren Xin said: "Your Highness has been busy all night and just lay down. If there is nothing urgent, come back later."
When the visitor heard this, he held the letter in his hand and felt at a loss for a while.
However, Li Hao helped him out. Li Hao opened the door and said, "Okay, I'm awake now. If you want anything, please tell me."
Ren Xin then got out of the way, and the visitor hurried forward and handed over a letter from Fei Ge, which was sent from Fengcheng.
Li Hao took out the letter inside, which was written by Chen Xi himself. It said that the Qi army outside Fengcheng had learned about Liuzhou at this time, and there would be signs of withdrawal, so Li Hao should prepare in advance.
Now that Fengcheng has received the news, it should be similar to other cities.
Then Li Hao asked: "What time is it now? How did the summons to the city's big clan go, but some people want to resist."
The visitor replied: "After receiving the news of His Highness's summons, the wealthy people in the city have been very active and are now waiting outside the government office, waiting for you to receive them."
Hearing this, Li Hao understood that these people had probably been waiting for a while, and they probably wouldn't have come to call him if it weren't for the secret message.
After all, even if the influence of the wealthy clans near the border is very limited, at least they will not be afraid of them.
However, Li Hao still had something to arrange for them, so he said, "Then you take them into the lobby. I will freshen up and go there later."
After the visitor obeyed the order and left, Li Hao looked at Ren Xin and asked, "Were you guarding the door just now?"
Ren Xin didn't answer, but it seemed so. Li Hao took it as her acquiescence and said, "You followed me last night and didn't sleep all night. Now go and get some rest."
Ren Xin did not leave, but asked: "What about you?"
Li Hao smiled and said, "I still have something to do. Now that Qi Jun has learned about the situation in Liuzhou, I think he will be here soon.
After meeting the local rich people, I have to go to the city wall to check again, but don't worry, I have recovered after lying down for a while.
Moreover, marching and setting up formations is not your strong point. You might as well go back and have a good rest first.
The really busy time hasn't come yet, so you have to recuperate first so that you can have energy when the real war begins. Then, with your protection, I can sleep peacefully. "
Ren Xin thought about it. Even if she followed Li Hao now, she couldn't do much.
Then he said, "Okay, then when I get some rest, I'll come over and find you."
After arranging Ren Xin to leave, Li Hao came to the lobby and met the wealthy people in Liuzhou.
To them, Li Hao's main purpose was to appease them so that they would not cause any trouble during this period of defending the city.
Of course, in order to make them remember, it is necessary to find a chicken to wake them up.
In this regard, with the intelligence support of Jinyiwei, Li Hao found the largest one among the three families that surrendered first.
In this way, in addition to killing chickens to scare monkeys, the family's property can also be used to win over other people, and they can be kind and generous without having to spend their own money, killing two birds with one stone.
After arranging for this group of wealthy people and sending them away, Li
Hao then left the government office.
However, Li Hao did not go to the city wall, but led by Jin Yiwei to a remote house in the city.
Here we saw the 500 firearms battalion that Li Hao had transferred from the Great Lakes. This was also Li Hao's trump card to ensure that his plan was foolproof.
"How's it going? You haven't encountered any problems here. Are the firearms ready?"
Chen Song, the commander of the firearms battalion, replied: "Your Highness, all our weapons were transported in safely and no one else noticed.
After the Qi army entered the city, they did not conduct a large-scale search and quickly left to attack other cities. The remaining people just clung to the city walls. It was always quiet near us. "
"That's good. Then take me to see the sergeants and equipment in the camp."
After hearing this, Chen Song took Li Hao and started patrolling.
However, this house cannot accommodate five hundred people. In fact, the surrounding area is the territory of Jin Yiwei, and there are underground tunnels connecting it.
After walking back and forth through the tunnel for several yards, I finally came back and took a look at the arsenal.
Now the firearms camp has all been updated to the flintlock era. Although there is no rifling yet, with the rear-fire charge and paper cartridges with fixed gunpowder, the firing efficiency is still quite high.
In addition, there are some simple grenades and landmines. As for heavy things like cannons, they were not transported this time.
It's just that Li Hao hasn't made up his mind yet on whether to use them this time, so he treats them as a reserve team for now.
Because the appearance of this epoch-making weapon will inevitably arouse the vigilance of many people.
In fact, if they are all enemy countries, then forget it, there will be a fight anyway.
But the problem is that they may not be the only ones, and there may not be a unified opinion within the country. The best time is to wait for Li Hao to stabilize the basics and expand the firearms camp to a certain scale before showing it to the world.
So after seeing everything, Li Hao said: "You continue to be prepared here. If you are needed, I will notify you. You must arrive immediately, otherwise don't show up."
Chen Song came here this time just to show off his talent. Seeing that he might not have a chance to play yet, he immediately wanted to ask for a fight: "Your Highness, we have been preparing for several years. Just let us go on the field. We will beat the shit out of the Qi people." .”
Regarding their strong belief in fighting, Li Hao did not want to attack them, so he comforted them: "You are my secret weapon. I have always trusted your strength, and it is precisely because of this that you cannot be careless in the first battle." .
This battle with Qi State is our first step towards unifying the world. There are still many subsequent battles. At the right time, Gu will let you fight for the first time. I believe this will not take too long, so be patient. "
Chen Song was now satisfied with Li Hao's promise: "Yes, we will obey the order."
After that, Li Hao inspected the four city walls and confirmed the preparation of the city defense supplies. After finishing all this, it was already dark, and Li Hao returned to the government office to rest.
This day was also the last day Qi Jun gave Li Hao a chance to live in peace. By noon the next day, Qi's soldiers and horses had already arrived at the gate of Liuzhou City.
It's just that the soldiers and horses that came first were not from Fengcheng, but from another direction, and the number of soldiers and horses was not large, probably around five thousand.
Obviously, the chaos that night did not allow the people of Qi to understand how many soldiers and horses entered the city.
I just took it for granted that if I could approach Liuzhou quietly without being discovered by them, I would definitely not have too many troops.
How could Li Hao let go of this opportunity? He immediately put on his armor, took five hundred cavalry and left the city.
This is the army horse that Li Hao bought in exchange for Chu Yuan and asked Gong Yegu to train it.
Although this was their first real battlefield, with Li Hao charging at the front, their morale was extremely high.
The Qi people did not expect that the defenders in the city would take the initiative to attack, let alone the cavalry.
Caught off guard, the already loose formation was soon torn open by Li Hao.
After that, Li Hao seized the opportunity and led the cavalry to attack back and forth, continuing to expand the results of the battle, tearing the Qi army's formation into pieces, and began to collapse.
But when Li Hao was about to summon the infantry out of the city and wipe them out in one fell swoop, the sound of Ming Jin suddenly came from the top of the city.
Li Hao immediately knew that this should be the arrival of troops from Fengcheng.
There was no other way, Li Hao could only give up this opportunity and choose to lead his troops back to the city.
Of course, the battlefield that should be cleaned still needs to be cleaned, and it can be regarded as a capture to some extent.
Compared with here, the soldiers and horses coming from Fengcheng were obviously more cautious. They did not approach the city rashly, but were ready to set up camp.
At the same time, they also sent people to ask questions under the city wall, trying to find out who led the soldiers.
Li Hao did not directly satisfy this request, but asked the visitor to go back and replace Wuyang Marquis Qin Chu, who was leading the army this time.
Qin Chu's retreat was cut off now, and he really wanted to know who his opponent was, so he came to the city wall happily.
Then Li Hao showed up and raised his banner.
After Qin Chu saw it, his first reaction was to retreat. It seemed that Li Hao's previous deeds at Wuanguan Pass had also reached his ears.
It was only when I finally saw that there was no unusual bow on the city wall that I stopped, but I still kept a relatively safe distance.
Then he shouted loudly: "Isn't His Royal Highness at Wu'anguan? Why are you here?"
Li Hao smiled and said, "I have heard about Lord Hou's name for a long time in my country, so I saw Lord Hou coming from afar and was working hard, so I came here to welcome him.
Speaking of which, Lord Marquis had just arrived, so why was he in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you stay here and chat with me for a few more days, so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord. "
