Qing Jialu

After a night of rest, the next morning, Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, feeling that his body had recovered some strength.He forced himself to get up, stood up slowly on the edge of the bed, and just moved two steps forward, only to feel that his strength was exhausted, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty," Dr. Fan came in with the soup, happened to see this scene, he said angrily and anxiously, "Lie down and rest quickly, don't wander around."

After finishing speaking, Doctor Fan put down the medicine bowl, and planned to help Xiao Yi sit back on the bed first.

"Sure enough, there is no medicine, these legs don't feel like my own." Xiao Yi hammered his thighs helplessly, "Doctor Fan, help me sit over there, and then call Wei Mo over to discuss the military situation .”

He has just arrived in Xining, everything has not been sorted out, where can he have time to rest?

"Okay." Doctor Fan knew that even Shen Jia couldn't persuade Xiao Yi, so what could he say?

When Wei Mo came over, he saw Xiao Yi was drinking medicine.And Doctor Fan stood aside and stared at it covetously. He didn't leave the military tent with the bowl until Xiao Yi drank every drop.

Seeing this, Wei Mo smiled and said, "Shen Jia is no longer with you, and another person was sent to watch you?"

"Yeah, I'm so annoying." Xiao Yi couldn't help complaining.

"I think it's necessary." Wei Mo sided with his nemesis Shen Jia this time, "You, you forget everything when you're busy. This is a life-saving medicine, so don't dare to stop it."

Xiao Yi said impatiently: "I know, I know, Dr. Fan watches me drink medicine every day, how can I forget?"

"Your Majesty, what happened to the cold poison in your body?" Wei Mo was worried, and asked again, "Don't make any mistakes, I won't be able to explain to Shen Jia at that time."

"Everything is fine, don't worry about me." Xiao Yi was ambiguous, looking at the map while talking, "The last time you and Ouyang Xing met at the foot of Qilian Mountain?"

Speaking of it, Wei Mo put away his foolish look and said solemnly: "Ouyang Xing has been hiding here since he was forced to Qilian Mountain by Ouyang Yu. It is backed by snow-capped mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, Ouyang Xing is very familiar with the terrain near Qilian Mountain. If you are familiar with it, set up camp here."

"Why did Ouyang Yu suddenly let Ouyang Xing go and attack Xining instead?" Xiao Yi asked again.

"I'm also investigating this matter. I sent sentries to the grassland to capture some prisoners for questioning." Wei Mo reported, "According to those prisoners, due to the bad weather in Xiou this year, many cattle and sheep froze to death. We Guessing that Ouyang Yu must have run out of food, he ran to the border to snatch it."

"This year's Northwest is indeed much colder than previous years." Xiao Yi also felt the abnormal climate. It stands to reason that July and August should be the hottest time on the grassland, but now the temperature suddenly dropped.The soldiers all put on thick military uniforms in advance, and Xiao Yi also put on blankets early.

"It is estimated that it will snow in October." Wei Mo grew up in the Northwest and is very familiar with the environment and climate here. "When the heavy snow blocks the roads, it will be difficult to fight."

"Ouyang Yu wants to make a quick decision." Xiao Yi analyzed, "And he's running out of food."

After all, horses will lose fat in winter, which is a fatal blow to cavalry.Coupled with the lack of food and grass in Xiou, it will be even more sad in winter.

When Wei Mo heard it, he instantly understood what Xiao Yi meant, and he said with a smile, "And we can drag them to death."

The two looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.

Not only can Ouyang Yu be killed from food, but Xiao Yi also has a secret weapon that has not been revealed.If he can really delay for three months, his secret weapon will come in handy.

Xiao Yi was very confident in this battle. He raised his hand and rolled up the map, and said to Wei Mo, "Go to the grassland again this time, and tell Ouyang Xing that if you want to borrow troops, you must first cooperate with us to hold Ouyang Yu down and harass Ouyang from time to time. Yubu. When it gets delayed until October or November, we will attack back and forth, and we will surely win in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty, do we have enough food and grass, and can we afford energy consumption?" Wei Mo asked worriedly.After all, fighting is worth money.

"Don't worry, Shen Jia said that there is enough food and grass." Xiao Yi looked confident, he had always been full of confidence in Shen Jia.

"Okay, then I will order troops immediately, and then go to the grassland." Wei Mo knew that it seemed that a protracted war was about to be fought.

At this time, the capital had just received the news that His Majesty had arrived in Xining. After receiving the military report, Elder Xu Ge knew that Shen Jia was worried, so he immediately told him the good news.After Shen Jia hurriedly read the military newspaper, her hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

"It's a good thing that Your Majesty arrived safely." Old Xu Ge said cheerfully, "This is a good sign, and this battle will definitely be a complete victory."

"That depends on how Wei Mo talks with the second prince of Xiou." Shen Jia tightly held the memorial in his hands, as if holding a peace talisman, which could make him feel at ease.Now that Xiao Yi has arrived in Xining, with Wei Mo watching him and Dr. Fan watching over the medicine, Shen Jia is not afraid that Xiao Yi will die again.

Although he hated Wei Mo very much, he had to admit that Wei Mo was more reliable than Dr. Fan in looking after Xiao Yi.

"According to the military newspaper, this is a protracted war. Can the household department's food and grass last for so long?" Elder Xu Ge was a little worried.

But Shen Jia also held the position of secretary of the household department, and knew everything about the household department well.He pinched his fingers and calculated, "The silver taels obtained from the sea can last for two or three months, but some time ago, John had to leave a large sum of money, saying it was to buy firearms. Now this big hole can't be filled, so we have to hurry up." It’s time to remind the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions of taxation this year.”

Xu Ge frowned, "Shen Shoufu, do you want to increase taxes?"

"Farewell." Shen Jia refused without thinking, "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has never raised taxes. If the world is disturbed and complaints abound, who can bear the responsibility?"

"Then Shen Shoufu, you should press the tax as soon as possible." Elder Xu Ge reminded, "The military situation is like fire, and we dare not delay food and grass. I always feel that there is still a lot of money to spend, so let's prepare more."

"I understand." After Shen Jia finished speaking, she took up her pen and ink, and ordered Jiangsu and Zhejiang to pay their taxes as soon as possible in the name of supervising the country.

On the second day, Wei Mo sent troops to the school grounds, and allocated 1000 people to explore the grassland again.Standing on the tower, Xiao Yi watched Wei Mo lead Yiqianerlang through the city gate of Xining, galloping towards the mysterious and vast grassland in the distance, gradually disappearing into the horizon.The young faces of those soldiers are full of longing for the future, just like themselves many years ago.

It's a pity that Xiao Yi no longer has that kind of spirit.He touched his thighs, and now he had only stood for a short while before his legs became stiff.Without the help of drugs, he is like a waste.

He insisted on taking the medicine before, not only because he was worried about delaying the marching speed, but also because he wanted to relive the pleasure of riding a horse and whipping his whip.If there is no Tianshan snow lotus in the future, and Dr. Fan does not prepare an antidote to the cold poison, I am afraid this will be the last time he rides a horse and fights on the battlefield for the last time.
