Chapter 2746 Reuse
Bai Erlang also glanced at the guards guarding the gate and nodded, "But how could he bear to leave Master Yuan behind? Isn't this just giving up his life in vain? If it weren't for the kindness of our Majesty, this would be a wasted death."
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Let's stay here just in case. We can collect the bodies when the time comes."
Bai Erlang: "He is indeed filial, but if it were me, I would definitely not let him accompany me. I will live as long as I can. I will die anyway. What difference does it make whether I become a handful of dirt or a complete corpse? Being alive is the most important thing."
The two doctors came back to their senses and trembled when they heard their words.
Seeing sweat on the two men's foreheads, Bai Erlang comforted them, "Don't be afraid. Our emperor is very kind. Look, he even sent a royal physician to treat Nuosa, who refused to surrender. Let alone you."
The two wiped the sweat from their foreheads, forced a smile and agreed.
No one knew what the father and son said inside. Mo Yuan finally came out with red eyes. After thanking Zhou Man for his treatment, he said, "My father has a stubborn personality. I hope Sir Zhou will be lenient. From now on, my father's treatment will be handed over to Doctor Xu and the others. Thank you Sir Zhou for your help."
After saying that, he felt around his body and found nothing worth giving away, so he took off the jade pendant hanging around his waist and put it into Zhou Man's hand.
Manbao glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and said to Mo Yuan with a serious face, "Even for this jade pendant, I will do my best to treat Nuo Sa. Don't worry."
Mo Yuan: ...That’s not what he meant.
Manbao was no longer willing to listen to his explanation and directly instructed him, "You must take the medicine I prescribed. You can make any excuse you want, even if you say it wasn't prescribed by me. I'll leave him some hemostatic and tissue-regulating powder and change his medicine tomorrow morning."
He continued, "As for the acupuncture, I'll come up and show him tomorrow. If he's willing to cooperate, that would be great. If not, I'll come a quarter of an hour after he takes the medicine. Remember not to talk to him during this quarter of an hour. Let him lie down and sleep."
Mo Yuan: "...will my father fall asleep?"
"The medicine contains tranquilizers, and people tend to feel sleepy after eating and drinking too much," Man Bao said. "I can also give him acupuncture to make him sleep, but it's a pity that I won't be able to see him. I can only ask you two for this."
Manbao said this and turned around and gestured to Doctor Xu.
The two men came back to their senses immediately and said that there was no problem. They wanted to ask about the acupuncture points, but there were many wounded waiting behind Manbao, and they were not willing to spend too much time here, so they left after giving instructions.
The two doctors watched her disappear with regret. "The medical skills of the Jin State are truly amazing. She's just a young woman, but her medical skills are already superior to ours."
Mo Yuan on the side said: "...She is a famous doctor in Jin State."
The two doctors were a little embarrassed. They only stayed in Anshi City and didn't know the news from the outside world, so they didn't know these things.
Now the entire Anshi City belongs to the Jin army. The emperor moved directly into the council chamber, and Manbao and his men naturally moved in with him.
When she was busy all day and dragged her tired body back to her newly assigned residence, Bai Shan was still in the council chamber and had not returned.
He seemed even busier than she.
Bai Shan was of course busy. The Jin army was going to take over the military affairs of Anshi City, and they were going to take over the political affairs of Anshi City.
The emperor decided to establish the Andong Protectorate here, and temporarily set up the Protectorate in Anshi City. Naturally, people had to be sent to take over the military and political affairs of the Protectorate, but before the people came, these matters also needed to be handled by someone.
Bai Shan and Lord Fang had to handle some government affairs while investigating the backgrounds of these surrendered local officials and selecting suitable people to take over temporarily for the emperor and the generals and ministers.
We also need to pacify the people, collect food and fodder locally, and deal with the prisoners...
Of course, they did not do these things, but the memorials were sent to them. They needed to review them and then hand them over to the emperor. Sometimes the emperor would ask them about politics.
Since Wei Zhi and others were not there, the two of them were placed in the front to act as the Secretariat. When asked, they had to answer, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
Therefore, they need to understand all aspects and are very busy.
But even though he was so busy, Bai Shan still had to take the notebook to attend the small court meeting and listen to the emperor and the generals discuss where and how to fight the next battle.
Bai Shan was already mentally prepared, so when the emperor wanted to show that he valued Prince Gao Er, he not only appointed him as the General of Fudong, but also asked him to lead 40,000 troops, including 20,000 Goguryeo troops and 20,000 Jin troops.
The emperor asked, "Who do you think should be sent as his deputy?"
The generals looked at each other and were silent for a while.
Governor Niu was a little indignant. "Your Majesty, are you favoring him too much? Gao Zhi doesn't have much military talent. He was able to defend Anshi City for so long, firstly because of his heavy troops and secondly because of his ability to defend the city..."
If it were him who was in charge, he could hold out for two months, forcing the Jin army to turn back even though their heads were covered in snow and they were unable to defeat the enemy.
So although the other party's surrender was a good thing, Governor Niu actually looked down on the other party in his heart.
The emperor seemed to know what he was thinking and said calmly, "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory says it might snow in a few days."
When the emperor went on an expedition, he was accompanied by all kinds of officials, and the Imperial Observatory naturally sent officials to accompany him as well.
When everyone heard this, they sat up straighter.
The emperor said, "Let Gao Zhi lead his men to attack the city, advancing eastward and southward. I don't care whether he uses deception or force, but the army must reach Neiguo City before the snow falls."
Bai Shan raised his eyes slightly and saw that many people were frowning. He knew that they were worried. After all, Gao Zhi was a surrendered general, and it was very dangerous for him to lead so many troops. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there has been no news from Minister Feng, and no news from Lord Zhang has been sent back."
The emperor and the others said, "Feng Liang is alone and deep in the enemy's territory. Food and fodder cannot be delivered to us. We must reunite with them before the snow falls."
He didn't want to lose a large army there. Feng Liang was a good minister, and there were many talented generals following him. There were also so many people from the Imperial Medical Bureau and soldiers there. The emperor would never abandon them.
Anshi City has been captured, and the situation is in their favor. Now is the time to pursue the victory.
Duke Zhao pondered for a long time. Although this move would involve great risks, the benefits would also be great. So he bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
The emperor asked him, "Who do you think should be his deputy?"
Duke Zhao fell into deep thought. Ashina and Qibi Heli were definitely not suitable because they had too much experience. If they were sent over, not only would they be uncomfortable, but Gao Zhi would probably also think too much.
Governor Niu is suitable, but from what he said, he dislikes Prince Gao Er very much. A conflict between the commander and the deputy commander of an army is very detrimental to the current situation, so he is not suitable either.
Duke Zhao frowned and fell into deep thought.
Bai Shan bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have a choice."
