ancient female doctor

Chapter 124
"What do you guys think?" In King Ning's tent, all the generals gathered together, King Ning glanced over the heads of the generals under the tent again and again, and asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, the last general thinks that the morale of the army is useful. Li Guozhong has disgusted us for so long with the corpses that died of the disease, and the soldiers have long been suffocated. Now that we don't have to be afraid of the troublesome epidemic, we will naturally Give him a head-on blow, beat him hard, and vent the hatred in the hearts of the soldiers." The deputy commander of the right army, Cheng Yiqian, was the first to speak.

The Central Army and the Right Army suffered the heaviest losses in this epidemic. As the deputy general of the Right Army, Guo Tao was naturally full of resentment towards the Qingzhou defenders.

"Fighting should be fought, but the officials think that Qingzhou Mansion still has combat strength. If we attack directly, we are afraid that we will suffer heavy losses. It is better to surround and not attack. When the food and grass in the city are exhausted, our army will naturally be able to fight without bloodshed. Take Qingzhou City."

"You must know that after Qingzhou, there are Yongzhou, Dezhou, Yizhou and other places as the barriers to Shangjing. If we encounter a city and attack it by force, I am afraid that our soldiers will suffer heavy casualties. The upper capital is full of soldiers. The officials think that we It is best for the army to preserve its strength as much as possible to prepare for the final battle in Beijing." Li Zhizhang, who joined the army under King Ning's account, said.

Although joining the army was a post in the army, it was a civilian post, so Li Zhizhang called himself a low-ranking official rather than a final general.

"The food and grass are exhausted? Do you know how much food and grass is stored in Qingzhou Prefecture, when will it be used up? Besides, since the incident, the number of our army has doubled in just one month, and there will definitely be many good families in the future Come to join the army, why are you afraid of such a mere loss?" Guo Tao said with a glare at Li Zhizhang.

"No." Li Zhizhang shook his head for a while, and then said: "General Guo, as a lieutenant general, should know the difference between veterans and recruits. We can't just lose our elite soldiers for a small Qingzhou Prefecture."

"Hmph, the battlefield is the best place to train soldiers. Only soldiers who have been on the battlefield can be called veterans, and only soldiers who have survived hundreds of battles can be called elites. How many of our current soldiers are Can you be called a veteran?" Guo Tao said, staring at Li Zhizhang.

What Guo Tao said was the truth, but it would be embarrassing for him to say such things in front of King Ning and the generals, so when Guo Tao finished speaking, the camp was so quiet that a needle would drop on the ground. Gotta see.

"Guo Tao, don't talk nonsense, and back down quickly." After a long while, Cheng Yiqian, deputy commander of the right army, coughed twice and watched Guo Tao drink.

Even if Guo Tao is a warrior and speaks without using his brain, now he also knows that he has said something wrong, so he hastily pleaded guilty to King Ning: "Please forgive me, my lord."

"General Guo is outspoken, what is the crime?" Naturally, King Ning would not punish Guo Tao for such a trivial matter, and looked at Guo Tao with a pleasant face and said.

"Thank you, my lord." After Guo Tao thanked King Ning, he didn't dare to say anything more, and stepped back and sat down embarrassingly.

"Fighting must be fought. The key is when and how to fight. Let's all discuss it." After Guo Tao stepped down, there was some silence in the big tent, and King Ning looked at the generals again and said.

"My lord, the student has a plan, I don't know if it should be said or not." Seeing that no one was talking, the green shirt who had been standing behind Prince Ning's son couldn't help but speak after getting the son's permission.

Since the epidemic was brought under control in General Qingzhu, Prince Ning paid more attention to Qingshan and took him by his side directly in order to give him the opportunity to learn more.

However, the clerk is not an official position, it can only be regarded as the private staff of Prince Ning, and he calls himself a student in Qingshan.

"Oh, you're Xia Qingshan, right? If you have any plans, let's talk about it." King Ning had some impressions of Qingshan, and when he opened his mouth, he looked at him and smiled.

"Thank you, my lord, the student is Xia Qingshan."

Seeing that King Ning agreed, Qingshan came out from behind Shizi, looked at King Ning, and said eloquently: "The students thought that since our army was suffering from the epidemic, it must be worse in Qingzhou Prefecture, and the city is naturally panic-stricken and everyone is in danger. If we pass the news that our army can cure the epidemic to Qingzhou government, and say that as long as Qingzhou government is willing to surrender, our army can treat Qingzhou soldiers and civilians for free, then the soldiers and civilians of Qingzhou will definitely surrender."

"If Li Guozhong can't bear the pressure, it's just right. Even if Li Guozhong suppresses it forcefully, it will make the soldiers of the army dissatisfied. In this way, it will definitely reduce the pressure of our army's siege. And in this way, it can also show our strength. The army is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, spreading the kindness of the prince to the world."

After Qing Shan finished speaking, everyone in the tent nodded their heads and looked at Qing Shan with approval.

"That's right. If this plan works out, our army will be able to take down Qingzhou Mansion with the least casualties or even without bloodshed. He really is a hero." King Ning said with a satisfied smile that he valued the green shirt.

"Thank you for the compliment, my lord. Qingshan is ashamed." Hearing this, Qingshan said with a humble face.

"Of course you deserve it, but how do you pass this news to the Qingzhou government?" King Ning actually had a plan in his heart when he heard Qingshan's words, but now he saw that the little man in Qingshan was speaking clearly Yes, I couldn't help but became more inquisitive, and asked while looking at the green shirt.

"Back to the lord, the students think that the more people know about this news, the better it will be for our army. We can do it together." With King Ning's approval, Qingshan said with more confidence on his face.

"Oh? Let's talk about it, how do you do it all together?" King Ning said, looking at the green shirt.

"First, we can make our soldiers shout in unison in Qingzhou City, that our army can cure the epidemic, as long as the soldiers and civilians of Qingzhou Prefecture surrender, they will heal everyone in the city for free."

"Second, we can prepare a lot of low-quality arrows and shoot the written cloth strips, paper, etc. into the city."

"Thirdly, we can prepare some paper kites, choose to fly the paper kites towards the wind outlet of Qingzhou Prefecture, and then cut off the threads at the right time, so that the paper kites can fall into the city and let more people know."

"Is there any more?" King Ning looked at Qingshan and asked with a smile.

"Um...the catapult is too powerful. We are going to promote benevolence. It will be difficult if it hits someone's head. Otherwise, you can try it with a catapult. Anyway, this catapult has a long enough range." Qing Shan scratched his head, looked at King Ning and said.

"Forget about the catapult, but why did you say to use inferior arrows before? Isn't it better to use good feathered arrows?" King Ning asked with a smile as he looked at the green shirt.

"We didn't aim to shoot people. If we shoot this feather arrow into the city, if someone collects Li Guozhong and returns it to us, it's not like throwing a stone at someone's foot." Qing Shan looked at King Ning and said.

"Haha, good boy, this is a good idea. After taking Qingzhou Mansion, I will give you a lot of credit." King Ning looked at Qingshan and said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord." After all, Qingshan was still a boy, and when he heard King Ning's promise, he was extremely happy, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

After taking off the green shirt, he winked at Pei Zimo for a while, until Pei Zimo gave him a thumbs up, and then he put away the expression on his face.

King Ning looked at Qingshan and his eldest son with satisfaction, and said to everyone in the tent: "Okay, this kid's plan is good, all the troops go back and prepare, and build a high platform outside each city wall so that we The arrows can be shot into the city better."

"As for paper kites, let Hongzhuangying put them away. Girls like to put paper kites anyway."

"As for yelling into the city, each army is divided into three waves, using the drumbeat as a sign, and shouting in turn. Practice first, and shout more neatly, so that the soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou City can hear them clearly. Okay, let's all go down."

"The last general takes orders." In King Ning's main tent, all the generals responded loudly together.

In the evening of that day, King Ning's army set up high platforms on all sides of Qingzhou City. The distance was just right, and the arrows could be shot into the city, but they would not have much power. Naturally, there was no need to worry that the arrows in the city would hit him.

It will take time not to make low-quality arrows, and naturally it is impossible to shoot arrows in the city on the same day.

At the same time, after the troops of King Ning's army adapted to the drumbeat, they began to shout to Qingzhou City for the first time.

These words are very straightforward, and everyone who hears them can understand the meaning, and deepen it, not just what Qingshan said can cure the epidemic.

"Military and civilians in Qingzhou Prefecture, we know that you are suffering from malaria. King Ning's army has already mastered the prescription to treat malaria. As long as you open the city gate and surrender, King Ning's army will treat the malaria for the soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou Prefecture for free."

"For the sake of the sick comrades, for the sake of the sick wives, children, parents, relatives and friends, and for yourself, open the city gate and surrender. King Ning's army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. We promise that we will not offend Qingzhou Fuqiu."

"His Royal Highness King Ning is the king of benevolence and righteousness, and our King Ning army is also an upright master. We will not invade the place like those rebels and bandits. Please rest assured that the soldiers and people in Qingzhou Prefecture."

"King Ning raised his troops to wipe out the treacherous people around the emperor, to recreate the Heqing Haiyan in the time of Taizu Taizong, to restore the peace of the people and people in the world, and to invite the soldiers and people in the city to open the city gates to welcome King Ning's master. "

"Soldiers in Qingzhou Mansion, Li Guozhong is willing to degenerate. He is not counted as an associate with the treacherous evil in the court. He also ignores human life. He allows the plague to rage and even orders people to spread the disease. You should stop helping the tyrant and working for him. Open the city gate and surrender. His Royal Highness Prince Ning promises that only Li Guozhong and the stubborn ones will be punished, and all other soldiers will be treated leniently."

……

Such shouting continued until late at night, and Li Guozhong in Qingzhou Mansion was furious. He whipped countless staff and ordered them to try to turn the situation around.

Before Li Guozhong's staff could come up with a solution, Arrow and Zhiyuan also joined in this battle without gunpowder.

Countless arrows carrying various promises and guarantees were shot into the city.

Another paper kite flew up against the wind, and when it flew over Qingzhou City, the paper flyers inside the kite were scattered like snowflakes, and the wind blown them all over the city.It is much more useful than what Qing Shan said about cutting the kite's string short.

This, of course, is Qing Zhu's handwriting.

Although Li Guozhong ordered people to collect them everywhere, he also posted notices everywhere, strictly ordering the soldiers and civilians in the city not to hide anti-king leaflets privately, otherwise they will be punished as traitors.

As everyone knows, the stronger he is, the more unfavorable this situation is for him.

It is almost at hand to take down Qingzhou Mansion without bloodshed.
