It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 117
"Your Majesty can't!"

"Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Taste in the future!"

The situation of the generals is actually not very good.

Those with rough skin and thick flesh like Dian Chu and those who live in the sea like Gan Wenjin can avoid mosquito bites, and others have been bitten a few times.

Especially Li Jingji, whose nose was bitten by a mosquito from nowhere and swelled up.

Originally, the matching of facial features was somewhat graceful, but now it is on par with Wei Jishu.

Under such a severe situation, if someone said to try a hundred herbs to try out the medicinal properties of Cochin herbs, the soldiers would naturally be overjoyed.

But if this person is the emperor, even if he is secretly happy in his heart, he should dissuade him from saying anything.

However, Liu Ke was extremely stubborn, holding a handful of dry unknown herbs, his tone was extremely calm, but there was a strong will, which was beyond doubt:
"When I was among the people, I drank dew when I was thirsty, and ate grasshoppers when I was hungry. What didn't I eat?"

"This herb is still unbearable?!"

The soldiers couldn't help being moved when they heard this.

Li Jingji's nose was even more tearful.

When His Majesty was among the people, he was actually so poor. He and Wei Jishu lived in a bit of poverty during the years when they were Taoist priests, and they never saw grasshoppers eating!

Chen Fujia, who was forcibly grabbed by Dian Chu, lost a little weight. Although he kept vomiting and diarrhea, his mind was still working.

Even if the emperor was doing it for the sake of all the soldiers and conquering Jiaozhi, it was impossible for him to be so unwise.

Tasting herbs is risky!
The emperor is also a human being, and the people say that he has a destiny, and he is said to be a sage emperor who enlightened the Tao in the forest farm, but he is a flesh and blood body after all.

Although the emperor is good at fighting, he is wise and powerful, but he is not invulnerable to all poisons!
Tasted the herb, whether it tastes good or not is second to none, if it is poisoned, what should I do if there is a mistake?
Then don't they have to be buried together?
Chen Fujia knew in his heart that the emperor should just talk about it, expressing the idea of ​​"wanting to taste a hundred herbs for the soldiers".

In this way, it can stabilize the morale of the army, and secondly, it can also stimulate the doctors and speed up the progress of identifying herbal medicine.

Isn't this the same as when Marquis Cao cut off his hair and acted as the head?

Those in power are good at playing with people's hearts.

But these idiots in the camp don't understand the deep meaning of the emperor at all. Loyalty is loyal, but they are dead-headed.

Do you really think the emperor is the same as you big soldiers?

At this time, someone had to set up a stage and give the emperor a step down.

So Chen Fujia continued intermittently with his swollen face on his face:

"Your Majesty has this heart, and the ministers know that it is only His Majesty's golden body, so you must not take such risks."

"Please, Your Majesty, take your life back!"

With Chen Fujia taking the lead, many soldiers also understood.

They accepted the emperor's kindness, but they really couldn't do such a thing!

Even if they hadn't really tasted the herbs, they felt that the expedition was worth it if they could say such a thing as the king of a country.

So all the soldiers also responded to Chen Fujia:
"Please, Your Majesty, take your life back!"

Liu Ke glanced at Chen Fujia, who supported his sick body and was somewhat complacent.

Good guy, he finally made up his mind and stretched out his feet to the edge of the wave. Chen Fujia was so neat that he almost retracted his stretched feet.

If he didn't have the destiny of [Poison Resist], he wouldn't dare to do something like tasting a hundred herbs that would kill half his life in all likelihood!
After making up his mind again, Liu Ke suddenly asked an irrelevant sentence:

"What is a monarch and minister?"

Chen Fujia was startled.

Is the emperor trying to use the status of "lord" and "subject" to say that the superior should not easily take risks and thus step down?

"Jun"

Before Chen Fujia could quote the classics, Liu Ke interrupted him:

"A Dian, throw Chen Qing back to the tent to rest, he is sick and his brain is not working well."

Dian Chu pulled Chen Fujia up. The radish seemed useless.

Chen Fujia returned to the tent in a daze, and when he lay down, he felt dizzy for a while, so he simply fell into a daze and fell asleep.

"What is a monarch and minister?"

This time Liu Ke looked directly at Xia Bugu.

Xia Bugu was dumbfounded and terrified.

He is just a doctor, neither a general nor a soldier, why ask him?

Even if they are citing classics, then they are also citing medical books!
Wait for the medical book?

Xia Buju was stunned, took a deep breath, bowed his body, took a peek at the emperor's expression, felt that it was nothing serious, and then said cautiously:
"This "lord" is the main drug in the prescription, which can play a major role in targeting the main cause and main symptom of a disease."

"That's what the "Nei Jing" said: The king is the one who is in charge of the disease."

Liu Ke nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Xia Buju took a deep breath and cheered himself up. Although he didn't know what the emperor meant, he was right in citing medical books.

"There is also a saying in the "Nei Jing": The assistant king is called a minister."

"This minister refers to the medicine that assists and strengthens the efficacy of the "monarch medicine"."

"For example, the cassia twig in Mahuang Decoction is an auxiliary monster that helps Mahuang sweat and relieve the appearance, so it is a minister drug in Mahuang Decoction."

When it comes to medical books, Xia Bugu is quite handy. Seeing that the emperor's face has grown a little more appreciative, he is more confident, his spirit is shocked, and he continues:
"In addition, there are "zuo" and "shi".

"The subordinates are called "Zuo", and the adjuvant medicine is a kind of compatible medicine that is close to the minister's medicine."

"In addition to assisting the role of the monarch medicine like the minister medicine, it can also assist the monarch medicine to relieve some secondary symptoms."

"As for the "shi", from the meaning of the word "shi", the medicine is the most important medicine in a prescription."

"It is also said in the "Neijing" that the minister is an envoy. From this we can see that the envoy medicine is a kind of auxiliary medicine for the minister's medicine."

Xia Buju felt a little complacent. Although the emperor knew the "monarch and ministers" in medical theory, he didn't know the "assistants and envoys", right?

"Well said, Xia does not have a salary increase"

When the words came to his lips, Liu Ke suddenly paused, and then continued slowly: "Add three stones to the salary."

Xia Buju originally thought that his salary would be increased, so he was happy.

When I heard it, it was only three stones?
In which imperial court, the salary is increased by one stone and two stones?

Liu Ke glanced at him, and squeezed the unknown herbal medicine in his hand tightly. We have to taste the herbs ourselves. It's good if you don't give you a discount:

"Since according to medical books, in order to cure a disease, there must be four herbs of "lord, minister, assistant, and envoy."

"This "jun" is the main medicine, and the other medicinal materials are just auxiliary."

"If you don't include the "lord" in the prescription, no matter how many "ministers, assistants, and envoys" you invest, they are just auxiliary medicines."

"And how to cure the disease?"

"It is said that Shennong tastes all kinds of herbs, but isn't this Shennong family one of the Three Emperors?"

Liu Ke lowered his head slightly, then raised his head, looked around, with an imposing manner, and then said:

"Soldiers, you are here to save the people of Qiongzhou from the chaos of war."

"The common people farm and pay taxes for the prosperity of the country's imperial court."

"I am the country, so I should do something."

"I'm just trying a hundred herbs so that the doctors can dispense the medicine sooner."

"Let the soldiers suffer less. Only when the soldiers suffer less can they win battles and protect the people. Only then can the people's lives be stable and they can pay taxes for the court."

These words were not impassioned, not high-pitched and forceful, and not so rich in emotion, but stated a very simple matter with certainty.

But it shocked all the soldiers.

The faces of the soldiers were dignified, but full of determination.

They quietly recalled the emperor's words just now, each of them stood up straight, with a focused and solemn expression, and an indescribable excitement surged in their hearts.

It was like a quiet dense forest, where there were only clumps of verdant green, the breeze and the humming of cicadas, quiet and comfortable.

Unexpectedly, someone set fire to it, and it became lively.

No matter what kind of mood they are holding, they came to this land and embarked on the journey to conquer the Jiaozhi Kingdom. At this time, they were thinking in their hearts, to repay the king's kindness with death.

Because the emperor not only talked about it, but also practiced it.

They have heard of Shennong tasting all kinds of herbs, but they have seen Emperor Zhaowu taste all kinds of herbs. Emperor Zhaowu is the goat in their minds.

Liu Ke held Xia Bugu's medicine basket directly, grabbed the herbs and started to eat.

Eat early and get rid of it early.

"This one is sweet and a bit bitter."

"This one is bland and a bit sour."

Anti-drug resistance returns to anti-drug resistance, but the taste is really not very good, so I can only bite the bullet and eat it.

Liu Ke's facial features were almost wrinkled together, his mouth was tightly pursed, but he didn't dare to spit out, and there was only a gap in his eyes:

"Xia Bugu, have you written everything down? Let's go to the camp, it's cold outside."

He was about to die, and he felt a little sick to his stomach, so he had to go back to the camp quickly.

At least the soldiers should not be allowed to see the emperor in distress, otherwise what is the prestige? !
Xia Bugu hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to deceive the emperor, so he had to wait for Ai Ai and said:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty eats too fast."

"Chen Chen hasn't had time to write down which herbs."

Liu Ke froze, and walked into the tent, his tongue was a little knotted:

"Salary, three stones, deducted."

Only soft sounds could be heard in the camp.

"It's not bitter."

"Not salty."

"No, no, oops, there's something oops"

Those soldiers who were stung and bitten didn't complain at all.

There's even a little... I can't hold it back.

What's more, he caught a scorpion and stung himself twice.

The emperor is like this, if he is stung less, he will feel really guilty and feel sorry.
-
Cochin County.

After Gao Rang received the news from the front line, he was a little stunned. Realizing that the situation was not good, he summoned the officials to discuss the matter.

"The Han army has seized the port of Vung Tau, landed and stationed, and our navy has been destroyed."

"This??"

The landing speed of the Han army was beyond expectations. The Jiaozhi navy seemed to have made no resistance at all, and they went directly to an airport.

The generals looked at each other and exchanged glances quietly.

Some even doubted the authenticity of the news:
"Is this serious? Could it be the false information released by the Han army to confuse us?"

"Our country is long and narrow, and it is inconvenient to convey information."

"And the king has always been cowardly, the Han army must know the weakness of the king's character, and may deliberately spread such false news to trick the king into surrendering."

"Moreover, Gao Xiangguo has a clever plan, falsely claiming that there are many pirates along the coast, and the sea is closed and forbidden. The big man has no reason to approach our ports."

"The two countries have not yet fought, and the big man came to attack for no reason. Could it be that he dared to risk the displeasure of the world and force his troops?"

"Even so, Wu Tong, the navy general, is a rare young talent in the country, quite skilled in martial arts, how could he be so vulnerable?"

There was a subtle look on Gao Rang's face, and he lost his composure, but it was fleeting. Then he coughed lightly, making Wen Wu quiet, and continued:

"General Wu Tong was stationed at the port of Vung Tau, and he also dispatched catapults to solidify the port's defenses."

Everyone is even more puzzled:

"If this is the case, even if the Han army makes a strong attack, they should have the strength to fight. Even if they lose, they can last for three to five days."

"No matter how unbearable it is, or lack of training and lack of actual combat experience, at least you can get out of your body."

Someone thought that Emperor Han had set fire to the Puliuru Navy, and they couldn't help feeling a little scared, and said:

"Could it be another fire attack? Did General Wu Tong die in the sea of ​​fire?"

It would be better if the fire attack fell.

Gao Rang couldn't help but have a self-deprecating look on his face.

The Han army used fire to break through the Puliuru Navy, and it paid a high price for itself. The fireboats that caught fire could not be repaired.

Moreover, at that time, Emperor Han even personally drove a building ship and rammed it into the Donghu ship. The only two building ships in the Han Dynasty were lost.

If the Han army can attack with fire and burn down the not-so-powerful navy of Jiaozhi at the cost of self-destruction, they will make a profit.

After all, the Han army's ship burned, which will definitely affect the subsequent delivery of materials.

It's a pity that this is not the case. The Han army was almost undamaged, and they even robbed Jiaozhi's ship and gained some weight.

"It is said that there were pirates attacking at that time. The Han army, which had already returned, suddenly turned its bow and approached Vung Tau Port at full speed in the name of assisting our country in eradicating pirates."

"General Wu Tong and our navy, because the pirates were too vicious, sacrificed their lives in the midst of the chaos."

"Later, the Han army even claimed that the letters between General Wu Tong and the Donghu people were found from the body of General Wu Tong."

"In a few days, Emperor Han will personally lead his troops to question the king."

After Gao Rang finished speaking, the civil and military officials were silent for a moment.

Then there was a burst of violent rage, mixed with clanging sounds, which continued to erupt.

"How can this be so!!"

"This must be the Emperor Han's plan! Disguised as a pirate, pretending to exterminate pirates, to defeat our navy!"

"I've never seen such a brazen person!"

"Shameless, shameless, shameless!!!"

Both civil and military affairs were filled with righteous indignation, and they all overturned the table, and their teeth itched with hatred.

What a vicious scheme!

Even pretending to be a pirate! ! !
This is all right, not only easily destroying the Jiaozhi Navy, but also taking Vung Tau Port, and even having righteousness.

General Wu Tong was beaten to death by the rebel army, died for the country, and was accused of colluding with the Donghu people!
Lu Shan among the crowd, because he was too ugly, no one wanted to be with him, so he was in the corner, and at this moment he spoke rationally and asked:

"Did the Han army choose to station at the port of Vung Tau instead of marching into Rinan County in one go?"

He knew it was useless to blame anyone at this time.

Swearing will only make you unable to control your emotions even more, and it will be easy for the Han army to take advantage of your loopholes, so you are very calm.

"That's right, the Han army is stationed in Vung Tau Port, but has not entered."

Gao Rang also responded with a calm expression.

His eyes were deep, his emotions were stable, and he was not affected by the bad news.

Such a calm posture also made the furious Wenwu calm down.

"Pity."

Lu Shan shook his head and sighed:

"If the Han army marches in haste, with the strength of the city of Rinan County, it will be able to defend for a few days."

"When the Han army besieged the city, counting the time, it happened to be harassed by poisonous insects."

"Combined with being unfamiliar with the climate and terrain, illnesses will inevitably occur in the camp."

"As for the soldiers in the city of Rinan County, even without the help of our army, they can still take advantage of this opportunity to send troops suddenly and catch the Han army by surprise."

"Yes, it's a pity."

Gao Rang nodded, approving Lu Shan's judgment, and at the same time slightly provoked the civil and military presence here:

"The Han army in Vung Tau Port won a big victory, but Emperor Han did not lose his head because of this, but chose to fight steadily."

"As expected of Zhang Huaiyang, he is the most unexpected famous player in ancient and modern times."

At this time, a heroic general was provoked to show displeasure:
"Why did Xiangguo say that?"

"Growing up the ambition of others and destroying one's own prestige, if you want Emperor Han to be really a tiger and wolf, invincible, why don't you surrender quickly, and you want me to wait here to discuss the matter?"

Gao Rang knew that this man was extremely courageous and should not be underestimated, and he would have to lead troops to resist the Han army in the future, so he hurriedly comforted him:
"General Zhang, don't panic. Emperor Han set up camp at the port of Vung Tau. He fought steadily, but he was not unable to deal with it."

Then the heroic general became quieter:
"In the opinion of Gao Xiangguo, how should we deal with the Han army?"

Gao Rang continued:
"Snakes, rats and mosquitoes in the country are different from Qiongzhou. Even if there are military doctors in the Han army and even good medicines are prepared, it is difficult to deal with them."

"The marching speed will definitely be slowed down by the poisonous insects. If there are no healers and good medicines, they will be infected with the disease as Master Lu said."

"In this way, it is an opportunity to take advantage of."

General Zhang nodded:
"Gao Xiangguo is right. No matter what, the Han army cannot completely solve the problem of poisonous insects unless they can find local doctors who are good at dealing with these poisons."

Gao Rang smiled, with a hint of anticipation:
"Exactly, I have reached this step earlier, and specially ordered Jiuzhen and Rinan counties to call all the doctors into the city."

"In this way, the Han army can't find herbs, and can only use old prescriptions to fight against the poisonous cochin insects. Even if there are not many casualties, the combat power will be greatly reduced!"

"At least half a month, as long as several months, you can take the opportunity to send troops to attack those who are not prepared!"

General Zhang asked for orders immediately:

"Gao Xiangguo, Mr. Zhang asks for orders, lead [-] troops to take the Han army directly!"

Gao Rang promised:

"General Yunwen Yunwu, Gao Mou does not know the art of war, so naturally the general is required to lead the army."
