Chapter 2696 Reinforcements
Manbao smiled and said, "Of course, you are now also a citizen of Dajin. His Majesty loves the people like his own children. If he knew that we bought things without paying, His Majesty would chop us up."
The shopkeeper glanced at the others and seeing that they didn't seem to have any strong objections, he tentatively reached out his hand and took the pearl tremblingly.
Manbao turned and left. "Let's go back. By the way," Manbao turned around and asked him, "Are there any other pharmacies in this city?"
The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, "Little one, I don't know."
When the soldier heard what he said, he frowned and was about to get angry again. Manbao didn't mind. He stopped the soldier and left.
Since he doesn't want to betray his colleagues, why force him? The city is not very big anyway, you will know after walking around.
Manbao continued to stroll around the city with his men, and soon they found a pharmacy not far away.
She said that drugstores also like to cluster together. Just look at the fact that Jishidiang is opposite Baicaotang and next door is Baohe Medical Clinic. There are five drugstores and medical clinics on their street.
This time Su Mu didn't go up to knock on the door. He asked the soldiers to go in directly and shouted at them to open the door so that they could go in and buy medicine.
It was not until sunset that they returned home with a full load.
He Li was tired from handling official business, so he came out to stretch his back. He saw Zhou Man and a group of people coming back from the tent in a very arrogant manner. Each of them was holding a medicine bag. He turned around and asked his personal guard, "Did you really go to buy medicine?"
The guard laughed and said, "Yes, the patrol sergeant came back and reported that they had robbed two pharmacies in the city."
“How many pharmacies are there in the city?”
Guards: "There are two families."
He Li thought about it and said to him, "Pick some more spoils and send them to her later."
He shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to actually go buy medicinal herbs. When you attack the city again, remember to leave some of the spoils for the medical tent."
"yes!"
He Li asked, "Has the medicinal materials not been delivered yet?"
"No."
He Li frowned, "Could something have happened on the way?"
The guards were also suspicious, "Could they have been attacked from behind?"
He Li thought about it and shook his head, "We didn't miss any place. The people from Goguryeo can't get around us."
Having said that, he still sent a team out. "Search along the way to see if we can help them. The war is imminent, and His Majesty is going to attack Anshi City. Once we pass Anshi City, we can march straight down. Medicinal herbs are extremely important."
Moreover, the weather has started to get cold and it will snow soon. If the logistics cannot keep up, they will probably have to retreat.
What Qibi Heli could consider, the emperor and the Duke of Zhao certainly also considered, so they also sent a team of soldiers back to look for them. In addition to medicinal materials, they also had to ensure the smooth flow of food and grass.
A scout came running in and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy has appeared sixty miles away."
The emperor asked, "How many people are there?"
"No less than one hundred thousand."
The emperor was skeptical. "How could Goguryeo mobilize so many troops? Didn't they say Feng Liang had tied up 200,000 troops?"
Feng Liang captured the city of Bisha and is now leading his men around the Kingdom of Goguryeo, attacking this small town today and that small town tomorrow, making their men extremely exhausted.
Governor Niu had a bad feeling when he heard the scout say, "There seem to be Mohe soldiers in the army."
Duke Zhao and generals including Ashina looked at Governor Niu.
A drop of sweat dripped down Niu's forehead. He could only bow his head and join the emperor in attacking the Mohe tribe. "...This is simply a wolf's ambition."
The emperor waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Since Goguryeo was able to invite them, it's obvious that the price they paid was higher than ours. Well, we, the Great Jin, have no destiny with them, so there's no need to force it."
The generals: ...It's God's destiny. You should try harder. It would be strange if people are willing to send troops to help you with such a small amount of money.
Even though there were reinforcements, the emperor wasn't afraid. He said, "Let's take another look at the terrain. There's no need to be afraid of them. As long as we disperse this reinforcement, Anshi City will be easily captured."
As long as they capture Anshi City, they can join Feng Liang and the entire Goguryeo will be within their grasp.
Reinforcements appeared on this side, and reinforcements also appeared in Baiyan City on the other side.
Manbao knew nothing at the moment. She was preparing prescriptions for patients with the newly purchased medicines. Although the dosage was small, the types were complete, and she could finally prepare Muyusan and Yuzhensan.
Manbao gave them a new prescription, then heaved a sigh of relief and said to the two students, "Let's see the effects of these two prescriptions."
"Yes," Su Mu said, "Teacher, I see their wounds are in good condition today. It should be because of the medicine I took yesterday. But you didn't write a prescription yesterday."
Zhou Man personally went to the pharmacy to get the prescription, and it never passed through anyone else's hands, so no one knew about the prescription except Zhou Man.
Manbao shook his head and said, "That prescription is not good. Let's use Muyu Powder and Yuzhen Powder first, and then adjust the prescription according to the symptoms. If it doesn't work, we can think of another prescription."
Su Mu had no doubts and nodded in agreement.
Manbao didn't plan to write down the medicine he'd gotten yesterday, just pretending it never happened. But when would their herbs arrive?
Manbao was grinding medicine when two horses galloped past the medical tent and headed straight for the main tent.
Manbao looked up and said with a sigh, "Isn't the chief account going to enter the city today?"
"Yes, we should move in at noon. Teacher, shall we go in?"
Manbao said, "Some of the wounded soldiers are difficult to move. Anyway, the tents and other things have been set up. Let them stay for a few more days and move in when they can move around."
While they were discussing here, Qibi Heli had already left the main tent, selected 800 cavalrymen and left the camp.
Manbao was surprised when she saw this. After a while, someone came to inform her, "Master Zhou, the general has sent troops. Please prepare the medical tent."
Manbao asked, "How many people?"
"Eight hundred cavalrymen."
Manbao: "Where are the enemies?"
"More than ten thousand."
Manbao: "...why not bring a little more?"
The personal guard said, "We only have 2,000 cavalrymen. We should leave 1,200 to guard the main tent, and only use the cavalry for the raid."
Bringing infantry is a burden.
What else could Manbao say? If it was cavalry, their medical staff wouldn't be able to keep up, so basically whoever could come back alive would be treated.
Manbao thought for a moment and then turned back to the medical tent. He took out two bottles of medicine and gave them to the personal guards. "Give them to the general for me. If you are injured, take the pills internally and the powder externally."
The personal guard took it and immediately ran away with a smile, saying, "Thank you, Lord Zhou."
The personal guards caught up with Qibi Heli and went on a surprise attack with him.
Manbao sat down and continued to grind her medicine powder. Qibi Heli and his men ran into the Goguryeo soldiers who came to rescue Baiyan City. They thought that they were sending troops at a fast speed, but they did not expect that Baiyan City was captured by the Jin Dynasty first. They were immediately shocked.
Before they had time to discuss whether to recapture the city or turn around and leave, a group of cavalry came towards them.
Infantry against cavalry, and it was a surprise attack, when there was basically no chance of winning, Qibi Heli led his men to charge in, in and out, and when he went in again, he completely angered the Goguryeo people, and they were determined to surround him even at the risk of their lives.
See you tomorrow
