Chapter 2687: Requesting Person
The emperor snorted coldly, "The soldiers are fighting bravely on the front line, and they dare to replace life-saving herbs in the back..."
The emperor closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was much calmer. He said, "Send a message to the capital. Tell the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War to pay close attention to the post stations along the way. No one is allowed to touch the food, military equipment, and medicinal materials, or I will chop off their claws."
Duke Zhao quickly agreed.
The emperor said: "Get ready, we should take Liaodong City."
Duke Zhao was excited and responded "yes".
The emperor thought, Feng Liang and the others should have arrived in Beisha City by now, right?
I don't know if it can be taken.
Feng Liang was attacking Beisha City. They took the enemy by surprise and captured several places after landing. They pushed the front line all the way to the foot of Beisha City, and then they began to besiege the city.
Minister Feng stared at the map and said to his men, "We must capture Beisha City within ten days. Otherwise, we will run out of food and supplies, and their reinforcements will likely arrive, making the battle even more difficult."
Once they captured Beisha City, they could head towards Liaodong City and attack Goguryeo from the north and south together with Emperor Zhao Guogong and others.
One person said, "I wonder how Baekje and Silla are preparing. Speaking of which, the envoys left so long before us, so they should have convinced Silla and Baekje by now, right?"
"Who knows? Never mind them. Even without Baekje and Silla, we can still take down Goguryeo. Our casualties this time are not that great."
"Yes, I just checked the medical records. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital are different from the military doctors. Doctor Zheng's medical skills are very good. I think he can save one out of two seriously injured patients, and most of the lightly injured ones have survived."
Minister Feng put away the document expressionlessly, thinking coldly in his heart: That's because you haven't seen Zhou Man before. That's what a good doctor is. He can even sew up a broken stomach. That's amazing.
Minister Feng: "Tell those veteran soldiers to be more polite. Those following Doctor Zheng are still students and have tender skin. Don't make them angry. We will need their help later."
"yes."
Manbao and Baishan are having dinner together. Now it is a truce time, so she has hot dishes and steamed buns to eat.
Bai Shan no longer lives outside the city, but lives in the city with the emperor. Although it is not far away, he is too lazy to go back for dinner.
Manbao gave him two steamed buns and they ate together.
"Where are Bai Er and Liu Huan?"
"They are busy," Bai Shan said, "They are both in charge of logistics now, and they have a lot to do."
Man Bao, who wanted to call Bai Erlang over to take care of her logistics: ...
Bai Shan seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "You can ask His Majesty for Bai Er. With him around, it will be easier for you to deal with the military. Even the local post stations and officials, since I heard he's in charge of this matter, should be taken into consideration."
"Your Majesty is willing to give it?"
Bai Shan: “Give it a try.”
So the next day Manbao went to the city to see the emperor. She was the chief officer of the Imperial Medical Bureau for this expedition, and her official position was not low. She had many reasons to see the emperor, so she went to see him whenever she wanted.
The emperor was about to go out with the Duke of Zhao to survey the terrain when he ran into her and asked, "Have you taken care of the wounded?"
Manbao nodded, "Someone died yesterday."
His wound worsened, he had a high fever and could not be saved. Su Ye, who was in charge of him, cried until her eyes were swollen.
Manbao followed him out and saw the guards leading the horses over. He couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
The emperor mounted his horse and pointed at Bai Shan behind him, saying, "I'm going to survey the terrain. If you have anything to say, go talk to Bai Shan."
"I'm looking for you," Manbao said directly without any hesitation, "I want to ask you for help."
The emperor looked down at her and asked, "Who?"
Without waiting for Zhou Man to speak, he said, "Bai Shan can't do it. I have many things that need him to do, and I can't do without him for the time being."
Manbao knew Bai Shan was dying. Military intelligence and memorials from all over the country had to go through his hands before being presented to the emperor. She said, "I want the prince consort to take care of logistics for me."
The emperor was slightly stunned and asked, "Bai Cheng?"
Manbao nodded.
The emperor frowned. "The logistics staff of your Imperial Medical Bureau should be familiar with medicinal herbs, right? Can he do it?"
Man Bao immediately said, "He can do it, Your Majesty, don't worry. He is my junior apprentice. He has been exposed to medicinal herbs since I was a child and has often made medicine for me. Therefore, he knows most of the herbs. And he is not the only one responsible. I will let my student Wen Tiandong assist him."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Alright, fine. Then you can take him there."
Manbao couldn't help but laugh happily. He saluted the emperor, then stepped aside and let him go.
The emperor rode away, and Duke Zhao and Zhou Man smiled and left as well.
Manbao winked at Bai Shan on the horse. Bai Shan smiled back at her and went to chase the emperor with a smile.
They went to survey the terrain.
Manbao turned around and ran to find Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang was busy counting the armaments in the warehouse, but there were many problems with the armaments. The key was that he didn't understand them. Many of the armaments had problems, but he couldn't see them. He had been very bald these days, and he felt that the way other people in the army looked at him was not right.
It's like he's a gigolo.
Well, even though he is just a gigolo, he is not completely without any ability, okay? But how does he know that this gun tip looks so hard and has no damage on the surface, but is still unqualified?
"Bai Er!"
Bai Erlang turned around with the notebook in his hand and replied listlessly, "You came to see me."
Manbao entered the warehouse, looked around, waved his hand in front of his nose, and asked, "What's that bad smell?"
“The taste of iron.”
Manbao: “…”
She glanced at the booklet in his hand, which had only a few words written on it, and simply reached out and pulled it away. "Don't write it down. Let's go. You are mine now."
Bai Erlang snatched the booklet away and said, "How do I become your man? I don't have time to help you. The things in the armory are enough to give me a headache. Unless I can master swords, spears, halberds, bows and arrows one day, I can't help you."
Man Bao squinted at him and said, "Who said I asked you to help me for nothing? His Majesty and I have asked for you. His Majesty has already agreed. Now you don't have to manage the armory. You will take care of the logistics of my Imperial Medical Bureau."
Bai Erlang was stunned for a moment and then asked in surprise, "Really?"
Manbao nodded.
Bai Erlang laughed out loud, looking up to the sky, "God will not let me go."
He turned and ran out, thrusting the booklet and pen in his hand into the hands of a lieutenant, and said with a chuckle, "Here I return it to you. I'm no longer in charge of the armory. See you later."
Manbao followed him out and smiled at the confused captain, saying, "Please forgive me, General. My junior brother has become more lively."
Then he said to Bai Er, "Let's go, Prince Consort?"
See you tomorrow
