Chapter 548 Good Lord

Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, Changli

It was the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival. At noon, Jiang specially ordered the kitchen to cook two good dishes, and then called her son and daughter to have a meal together.

Qin Sheng went out, and Lu Songli came back alone.

Lu Xiao asked her, "Aunt, did your uncle go to beat the bad guys?"

"Yes, what's wrong, do you miss your uncle?"

Lu Xiao nodded. His uncle was very good at fighting, and he would give him some pointers every time. After each pointer, he made progress, and he liked his uncle.

"When he finishes his work, he will come back."

"How long will it take?"

"It will take at least two or three months."

"Aunt, when I grow up, can I go to war with my uncle?"

"It depends on whether you have learned skills well before you grow up."

"Then I will definitely study hard, learn skills well, and fight bad guys with my uncle."

"Okay, aunt is waiting for your performance."

While the aunt and nephew were talking, Tian came over at this time.

"Hey, my precious lifeblood, you should study hard and don't always think about those fighting and killing."

Lv Xiao pursed his lips. He wanted to say that he studied hard and he also worked hard to practice martial arts.

Tian patted his little butt, "Get up, your sister misses you, why don't you go to accompany her?"

"Okay." Lu Xiao climbed down the kang resignedly.

Tian and Lu Songli said goodbye and left with the child first.

Tian's words just now made Lu Songli's mind flash, and she suddenly figured out what kind of handle Xie Zhan had in Song Mo's hand to regain Song Mo's trust.

That day, Qin Sheng wondered why Song Mo still trusted Xie Zhan. She was busy thinking about how to use the game set by Xie Zhan and Song Mo, and didn't think too much about it. But this question has been lingering in her heart.

Now she knows that it should be Xie Zhan who sent his only son to Song Mo as a hostage, which led to the two of them cooperating again.

Needless to say, this matter must have been initiated by Xie Zhan.

First of all, Xie Zhan is at a disadvantage. If he wants to solve the crisis in the south, he must first be humble enough and sincere enough, and then he must solve Song Mo's pain points.

The most fundamental reason why Song Mo agreed to cooperate is of course Xie Zhan's smart brain, and he wants to use Xie Zhan. Xie Zhan sent his son to Chang'an as a hostage, which is a step and sincerity. Song Mo came down smoothly.

Lu Songli thought that the child was only a little over one year old, and Xie Zhan, as a father, was really cruel.

I just don't know if Zhao Yutan knows about this. According to the news sent back by Chen Jinshui in the south, Zhao Yutan loves her only child very much.

Lu Songli speculated that this should be done in secret, and Zhao Yutan should not know about it, otherwise Chen Jinshui in the south would not be able to catch any news. After all, as the wife of the patriarch of the Xie family, Zhao Yutan should make some noise when she makes a fuss.

Let her think about what she can do with this? Let someone kill the child and make Song Mo and Xie Zhan fall out? Or tell Zhao Yutan and let Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan have a rift?

But if so, it also exposes that they in Pingzhou saw through his plan and did not fall into it.

Weighing the gains and losses, Lu Songli decided to pretend that she didn't know about it.

Bingzhou, Yanmen

After another fierce siege, Sun Congyi looked at the city gate, which was already crumbling in some places under the continuous attack of the Xianbei, and his face was expressionless.

It is unknown how long this increasingly dilapidated tower can last. Every battle they fight now is filled with human lives. Perhaps next time, this city gate will be breached by the Xianbei.

At this time, a soldier ran over, "Young General, the military doctor wants to see you."

After hearing this, Sun Congyi said a few words to the military officer who was repairing the fortifications, and then went to the wounded camp in the rear with the soldier.

There were many people living in the wounded camp, and when they approached, they were all screaming and wailing.

As soon as the military doctor saw Sun Congyi, he grabbed him and said, "Young General, the strong liquor in the warehouse is used up, do you have any more?"

Sun Congyi was stunned at first, and only after asking did he know what the strong liquor the military doctor was talking about was.

Previously, they traded a batch of cold-resistant materials with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce for 100,000 taels, including a batch of strong liquor. During the transaction, the manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce and Liao Ying explained in detail that these strong liquors can be used to clean the wounds before taking medicine, which can reduce the occurrence of fever and suppuration in the wounded.

Liao Ying naturally attached great importance to it, so he sent this Pingzhou strong liquor to the military doctor and asked him to try whether it was really effective.

This Pingzhou strong liquor is indeed useful, and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce did not lie.

"This Pingzhou strong liquor is a great help. We have too many wounded. I have been saving it, and it has been used up today." The military doctor said.

Sun Congyi did not expect that the strong liquor traded to them by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce would be so useful.

"What about the saline solution?" He remembered that in addition to the strong liquor, the other party also gave them a batch of saline solution.

"It's all used up." The military doctor sighed, "Young General, the soldiers used strong liquor or saline to clean the wounds and then applied medicine. The probability of fever has been greatly reduced, and the wounds have healed faster than before. Can we find the person before and buy some more?"

Sun Congyi smiled bitterly, "I would like to buy some more, but the problem is that I can't find anyone."

Since the court stopped Dali merchants from trading with Pingzhou, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has gone from open to secret, and its whereabouts are erratic.

The last time they traded with their Sun family army, they took the initiative to find them.

Now Sun Congyi knew that the materials traded last time were a friendly support from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. Everything traded to them was what they needed and could use.

Now thinking back, that batch of materials was not something they could get with 100,000 taels. The batch of Pingzhou liquor alone was worth a lot of money.

At this time, the military doctor also thought of the court's blockade of Pingzhou. He sighed and thought that the court was really sinful.

Sun Congyi left the wounded camp with heavy steps and went to his father to complain as usual.

"... Dad, what do you think this is all about? The huge court is not as good as a small Pingzhou!"

Sun Ming paused when he heard this.

Sun Congyi really envied the Qin family. Look, they only care about fighting and don't have to worry about anything else.

When it's cold, they will distribute cotton clothes to keep warm. When they are injured, they have good medicine, and the injured can get good treatment.

In Sun Congyi's opinion, Lü Er cherished the army, cared for the soldiers who opened up the territory for her, was willing to provide them with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and was willing to seek medical treatment for them, which made him an excellent lord.

On the battlefield, swords and knives are blind, and no one can guarantee that they will not be injured. If they are injured, they can get the best treatment, which is probably the wish of all soldiers.

In a word, Lü Er protected not the upper limit of the soldiers, but their lower limit.
