Chapter 59 Military Supplies

"Your Highness..."

The group of people suddenly became nervous. Read

Xu Lie said: "Your Highness, you and Liu Wangfu return to the city immediately, I will go to investigate."

After that, Xu Lie led a hundred guards and rode away, completely disregarding life and death.

"Your Highness, let's go quickly. My death is insignificant. If anything happens to your Highness, Yan County will never have peace again." Liu Fu whipped Zhao Xu's horse.

Before Zhao Xu could speak, the horse rushed out with him.

Liu Fu slapped his horse to catch up.

Such a large number of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in the wilderness, and no one could be careless.

The two of them galloped and looked back.

I saw Xu Lie's men and horses stopped the team.

Then Xu Lie led his men back.

Seeing this scene, they breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that nothing was wrong.

Immediately, they stopped and waited for Xu Lie.

"Your Highness, it's General Mo from Yanguan. He came to Yanjun to pay a visit to Your Highness." Xu Lie's eyes flashed with excitement.

When they were in the imperial army, they admired this veteran very much.

He and Chang Wei also knew that Mo Di was now stationed in Yanguan.

Before Zhao Xu's brain disease was healed, they even discussed privately to go and join this general.

"Mo Di." Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

This General Mo Di can be said to be a staunch royalist in Dasong.

Every generation of Mo's children has been in the Dasong army, fighting for the royal family.

However, he couldn't help but wonder why this general suddenly appeared in Yanjun.

But now that he has come, he can only receive him.

Driving north, he quickly saw Mo Di's team.

Among them, an old general over fifty years old led the way, majestic and awe-inspiring, probably Mo Di.

And behind Mo Di were more than 500 cavalrymen, all wearing red linings and black armor.

"I, Mo Di, greet His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."

When he got close, Mo Di dismounted and knelt on one knee to pay his respects to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu immediately dismounted and helped him up.

Compared to Yuan Li's arrogance last time, Mo Di's respect for him showed the different attitudes of the two towards the royal family.

"I have heard of General Mo's great name for a long time, and I wish I could meet him. I am very pleased that the general is visiting Yan County today." Zhao Xu looked Mo Di up and down.

And Mo Di was also looking at Zhao Xu.

Seeing Zhao Xu's thoughtful manners and sharp words, he could not help but nodded slightly.

This Prince of Yan is really no different from an ordinary person.

In his opinion, this is also a blessing for the royal family.

The emperor sent this boy to Yan County out of disgust.

Unexpectedly, the willows grew into shades without intention.

Not only did the ninth prince recover from his illness, but he also took root in Yan County.

"How can I, a stupid general, be praised by Your Highness?" Mo Di bowed his hands, "I came to bother Your Highness today, but I have something to ask of You."

"Oh?" Zhao Xu looked puzzled.

He said why did Mo Di run from Yanguan to Yanjun.

But he didn't know what the general wanted?

Seeing that it was getting dark, he apologized: "It is not appropriate to talk in detail here. General, please go into the city and let me do my best to be a good host."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Mo Di got on his horse, and the group followed Zhao Xu into the city.

When they arrived at the palace, Zhao Xu ordered Feng'er to send servants to prepare a banquet.

At this time, Chang Wei learned that Mo Di had arrived at the palace.

He came to meet him despite his injuries.

"Chang Wei, you are here too." Everyone sat down, and Mo Di was slightly surprised to see Chang Wei coming.

Chang Wei bowed to Mo Di, "I am lucky that the general remembers me."

Mo Di laughed, "I remember, I remember, when you were in Xiliang, you were famous for fighting without regard for your life. It's a pity that you are not under my command, otherwise you would have a place in Yanguan today."

Mo Di's words evoked Chang Wei's memories, and he sighed, "Now that I am under your command, I am satisfied. This may be a loss in the east and a gain in the west."

Mo Di stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

Zhao Xu smiled and asked, "I wonder what the general has to say about coming to Yanjun this time. Is it for the autumn hunting of Beidi?"

Apart from this, he couldn't think of the purpose of Mo Di's coming.

Mo Di shook his head and said bluntly, "No, I came here to ask for medicine."

After that, he told the story of Hu Yan's children going to Yanguan.

Zhao Xu suddenly realized.

I didn't expect that borrowing medicine to Hu Yan would cause such a thing.

"I came here for this medicine. If it is really effective, I am willing to add it to the military supply list and purchase a batch from Your Highness." Mo Di said solemnly.

"Military supply?" These two words made Zhao Xu's heart tremble.

Because Da Song has been at war every year, Da Song's annual military expenditure has risen sharply.

Among them, a lot of silver has naturally been spent on military supply.

However, this kind of fat oil is rarely available to ordinary people.

In the end, it was basically taken away by merchants under the powerful families.

Now, Mo Di came to the door in person and also sent a military supply purchase, which naturally surprised him.

After all, he made this allicin just to save Chang Wei, and he could also use it for his army in the future, and he never thought of selling it.

Because medicine is not as easy to promote as wine.

But if there is a famous general like Mo Di to support it, it will be different.

Once this medicine is guaranteed to be effective in the army, I am afraid it will soon become a necessity for the Da Song army.

At that time, silver will not flow into his pocket.

Most importantly, this opened up a gap for him in terms of military supplies.

If he can sell medicine now, he can also sell other things in the future.

Moreover, once it is determined to be effective in the military, there will naturally be no problem among the people, and the market will take effect invisibly.

After thinking about this, Zhao Xu could hardly suppress his joy.

He said: "To be honest with what the general said, Chang Wei was hit by three arrows from the Beidi cavalry a few days ago. It was this magic medicine that saved him."

At this juncture, he began to endorse his medicine.

"Really?" Mo Zhai looked at Chang Wei.

"That's true." Chang Wei glanced at Zhao Xu gratefully, "Without King Yan's secret medicine, the general would have been in hell."

Mo Zhai nodded slowly. Li Xingjian's nephew was there before, and now Chang Wei testified, so he basically believed most of it.

However, he has always been cautious, after all, this matter involves military supplies.

If something goes wrong, someone might want to impeach him.

"This general will bring more than thirty wounded soldiers. If your highness can save half of them, your highness will take this medicine." Mo Zhai looked directly at Zhao Xu.

When returning to the palace, Zhao Xu saw some soldiers riding on the same horse.

The soldiers in the back were tied to the soldiers in the front. These were probably the wounded soldiers.

"Okay." Zhao Xu agreed immediately.

After a banquet, Zhao Xu and others did not drink too much because of the drug test.

After eating, we went directly to the yard where the wounded soldiers were.

Zhao Xu then asked people to bring alcohol and allicin, and called Hu Langzhong to participate personally.

"Cut off the rotten flesh, wash it with strong alcohol, apply the secret medicine on it, and take some more."

In the open space in the west courtyard of the palace, thirty wounded soldiers groaned, and each of them was seriously injured.

After meeting these thirty people, he shook his head helplessly.

Mo Zhai is posing a problem for him.

"General Mo, if these thirty people had used my king's strong wine to clean their wounds from the beginning, and then used this secret medicine internally and externally, they would have been able to go back to the battlefield a long time ago. Why would they end up like this?" Zhao Xu lamented.

This is the horrific casualty rate in ancient times, and the sanitary conditions were too poor.

Mo Zhai was speechless, but when he saw that Zhao Xu was treating the wounded soldiers, it didn't look like he was cheating.

He felt more confident.
