King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 965

Who told him to be the commander-in-chief of the 40 army?Who made him the soul of these hundreds of thousands of troops, who made him the master?And Li Lin was already in very bad health, and he was still in such a sick state that he only saw the shuttle. He didn't know how to diagnose and treat, but he was able to give the soldiers the greatest strength, which could not be replaced by any panacea, but At the same time, he inevitably fell ill...

"Generally speaking, King Liao was also infected with this disease, but it was not deep. After taking medicine and resting for a period of time, he recovered! This is luck, luck!" In Li Lin's camp at Liaoying Water Army Camp in Hanyang , Hua Tuo cleaned up the medicine box, said something with a smile, his face was no longer the surprise and back pain when he just came back.

"Lucky, lucky!"

"God bless my lord!"

Everyone in the tent breathed a sigh of relief, and they heard the admiration in the tent. Some people even thought that even if all the 40 people died, they would not be able to match Li Lin alone. There are hundreds of thousands of Liao troops!
"My lord is fine, it's a blessing!" Relieved, Zhao Yun turned to Li Lin and said, "My lord, it's better to rest and recuperate these few days, so don't go to the back camp again! To be disrespectful, my lord has no medical skills." , Even if you go! I'm afraid it won't do anything!"

"Zilong's words are very true." Tai Shici persuaded, "My lord is the commander-in-chief of our army, and the backbone of our army's hundreds of thousands of soldiers! My lord has a lot to lose in this battle, so you must take care of your health!"

Hua Tuo smiled lightly, and said to the worried people: "What this general said is that the Lord's health has always been bad, and in the past... um... the old man means that the treatment is given to the old man. Could it be that the Lord Still can't believe the old man?"

"Old Hua is serious!" Li Lin cupped his hands with a smile, and said stubbornly after thinking about it: "Old Hua's medical skills are naturally trustworthy, but if such a major event happened in the camp, how could Li Lin, as the commander of the army, stand high in the account?" In the midst of this, do you not care about the sick soldiers under your command?"

"My lord!" Zhao Yun and Tai Shici called out, but they were interrupted by Pang Tong shaking his head.

"Elder Hua doesn't know the reason, don't the two generals know? Now the army in the camp is in a state of panic and everyone is in danger. If the lord didn't go to the back camp every day to appease the soldiers, my 40 army would have already collapsed. How can we talk about a big war?"

"This..." Zhao Yun and Tai Shici looked at each other, speechless.

Smiling slightly at the two, Li Lin said solemnly: "What Shi Yuan said is very true. Half a month ago, we moved the sick soldiers to the rear camp. The original intention was to prevent cross-infection and curb the disease, so we ignored it. What are the thoughts in the minds of General Ten? He must think that I, Li Lin, have given up on them. In the current season when the morale of the army is turbulent, once this kind of thinking spreads, it will be out of control, and it will inevitably lead to catastrophe. Zilong, Zilong Yi doesn't have to worry too much about me, it's just a slight infection. Perhaps, the infection was already half a month ago, and it's all just not sick!"

"So that's the case, this old man never thought of it!" Hearing Li Lin's words, Hua Tuo restrained his smile, stroked his beard and said solemnly: "My lord's symptoms are nothing to worry about, let's talk about the conditions of the soldiers in the camp..."

"What?" Seeing Hua Tuo's serious face, Li Lin's heart jumped, and he frowned and said anxiously, "Could something have changed?"

"Well..." Hua Tuo glanced at Li Lin, shook his head, and said hesitantly: "It's hard to say what happened, but, my lord, the trouble now is that there are so many sick soldiers, and the old man probably doesn't have enough herbs. ,, it’s not enough!”

"This..." Li Lin was at a loss for Mao's words for a while, and said incoherently, "Is it not enough for Mr. Hua to go out for more than ten days to collect medicinal materials?"

I have to say that Hua Tuo is smart. When he found out that the plague broke out in Li Lin's camp, he didn't frantically treat it in the camp immediately. Instead, he went to see the herbs stored in the camp. For the plague, even if you treat it again, it is useless Yes, it has exploded in a large area. Even if Hua Tuo has the ability to clone, can he still win tens of thousands of people?So Hua Tuo didn't have time to report to Li Lin, and immediately flew out of the camp to search for herbs, because a large amount of herbs, a very large amount of herbs, can be used to treat hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. After all, people... ...There are too many... That's why Hua Tuo thought it was ten days late for treatment, and went to find hundreds of carts of herbs and came back...

In fact, after listening to Hua Ru's analysis of his treatment, Li Lin also understood that what the soldiers in the camp were suffering from was not the plague, but the flu.Just add the four words of epidemic type. Influenza, influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza virus. It is also a highly contagious and fast-spreading disease. It is just the most common symptom in later generations. However, In this era of relatively weak medical skills, it has become a fatal disease.But having said that, even in later generations, it may not be easy to diagnose and treat the 40 Liao soldiers who have been repeatedly infected...

But seeing Hua Tuo's eyes clearly and his silent look, Li Lin knew that Hua Tuo was not lying, that the medicine...was really not enough...Sighed secretly, Li Lin forced himself up, and asked in a low voice. Said: "According to Hua Lao's calculation, how many lives of soldiers can be protected?"

"It can't be guaranteed!" Shaking his head, Hua Lun thought for a moment, then clasped his hands and said honestly: "Based on the herbs that the old man brought, if there are only 5 to [-] soldiers who are sick, the old man is eight or nine percent sure! "

"Four to fifty thousand people?" Sitting up straight suddenly, Li Lindun felt a chill behind his back, and the rest of the people in the tent were also shocked.

There are only 5 to 40 people, if the entire 5 Liao army is only 30 to 30 people, how can we fight Jiangdong?It seems that Jiangdong is sure to win this battle!Right now, let alone the Liao army's inability to defeat Jiangdong, even if it is self-protection, it may not be enough, right? More than 30 Liao troops died here. Li Lin ruled the north and learned that there were such changes in the front line. Naturally, there was chaos, and Jiangdong would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He must follow the trend and take Jingzhou. Will Liu Zhang from Zhouzhou, Zhang Lu from Hanzhong, and Yuan Shang just watch such a good opportunity and give up?Li Lin's party will definitely be attacked by all heroes!Then why is Li Lin still alive, why not just plunge into the Yangtze River, the [-] army, and the [-] brothers from Zeze, all of them died in a foreign land because of their own wishes, how much sin they have to suffer, How could Li Lin himself bear such a crime? It would be better to die directly.

"Only 5 or [-] people? Can't...can't..." He sighed for a long time, Li Linming looked at Hua Tuo, but seeing Hua Shang's embarrassed face, he slowly shook his head.

Seeing Li Lin's worried face, Pang Tong's heart moved, and he cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what kinds of herbs the imperial doctor Hua needs. If I send troops to the mountains to collect them together! My lord has hundreds of thousands of troops..."

Upon hearing this, Li Lin interrupted Pang Tong's words, and said joyfully to Hua Tuo, "What Shi Yuan said is very true! There are so many people in our army, what if I send troops to the mountains to collect them immediately?" Then he looked at Hua Tuo expectantly. .

When Li Lin's words fell, Ma Chao immediately cupped his fists and said, "No one in the Xiliang army under the command of the last general has ever been sick, why don't we call the Xiliang army to go!"

"Well..." After hesitating for a moment, Hua surprised and said in a dilemma: "My lord, to diagnose and treat the illnesses of the soldiers in the camp, the medicines are not just one or two. The herbs brought by the old man almost emptied Jingzhou and Yangzhou The major pharmacies, even General Cai and Master Kuai are helpful, not to mention that the generals do not understand the principles of medicine, even if the old man tells the generals the medicinal materials they need, the generals going to collect the medicines right now may be a drop in the bucket. Fire!"

Hearing Hua Tuo's words, Li Lin opened his mouth and remained silent.So far, what are you still hesitating about? !Of course, he quickly selected the elites of the army and told the old man to treat them. There are not many soldiers. Even if this battle is futile, [-] to [-] elites stationed in Jingzhou are enough to defend against Jiangdong!Li Lin, what are you hesitating about?Indecisiveness leads to disaster!Another voice in Li Lin's heart kept persuading him, but... But he really wanted to give up so many lives. Li Lin really couldn't make such a choice, couldn't make it!
"Could it be... isn't there... is there no perfect solution?" After a long time, Li Lin slowly raised his head and looked at Hua Tuo with the hopeful look in his eyes.

Sighing secretly, Hua Tuo cupped his hands and said: "It is the duty of an old man to cure diseases and save lives, so naturally he would not lie to King Liao......"

"This... this makes me... how... how..." Li Lin didn't know how to continue, and the atmosphere around him was extremely oppressive. Everyone understood what Hua Tuo said, but Such a decision, let alone Li Lin, even they don't know how to make it...

"My lord!" Hesitating for a moment, Hua Lun raised his head and cupped his hands and said, "If my lord agrees, I will treat the lieutenant with medicines and medicines right away, but I still hope that my lord will choose... oh..." Healing is a person who practices medicine Duty, choose people for diagnosis and treatment, such words against his will, how can Huaru say it.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became stalemate, and at this moment, a notification came from outside the tent, "My lord, Fan A, Wu Pu, and Li Dangzhi are asking to see you?"

"Huh?" Li Lin was stunned for a moment, but Hua Yu explained: "King Liao, these three people are the disciples of the old man. That's the old man's life, and the three of them came to help!"

"So that's how it is." Li Lin smiled wryly, and said lightly, "Please enter the account of these three people!"

"promise!"

As the tent was lifted, three young men walked in slowly, bowed their hands together and said, "Caomin has seen the Liao King, all the lords, and all the generals!"

"No!" Li Lin waved his hand casually.

"Master!" Li Ah, who was the leader of the three, turned to Hua Shang and said, "The medicine is basically ready!" After speaking, he also secretly looked up at Li Lin just like Wu Pu and Li Dang. After all, Li Lin is King Liao of the Han Dynasty, who is not curious about such a person?Who doesn't want to meet the last time?
"Yeah!" Hua Qi nodded and turned to look at Li Lin, the meaning of which was very obvious.

However, Li Lin remained silent for a long time, maybe he couldn't say that sentence either.Everyone in the tent naturally understood Li Lin's hesitation. Pang Tong shook his head secretly, approached Li Lin suddenly, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I must not stop being disturbed by it. I'm afraid our army is suffering from the plague right now. I'm afraid we can't hide it from Zhou Yu." If the lord does not make a decision early, I am afraid that in three to five days, we will have no soldiers to use!"

Hearing what Pang Tong said, Li Lin shook his head and sighed, "How can I make such a big decision by myself?"

With one side of his eyes, Pang Tong said in a low voice: "My lord, if... if... If you say something that shouldn't be said, the lord is the lord of the people. How can the subject ask the lord to bear such a reproachful matter? If it is true, maybe the lord Don't care, I'm afraid someone will use this to attack the lord in the future, if the lord can't make a decision, I'm willing to do it for you!"

"You?" Li Lin looked at Pang Tong in astonishment.

I saw Pang Tong chuckled, and said sternly: "I don't care about my lack of talent, whether I have a good reputation or a bad reputation. I hope my lord will accept the request of my servant and hand over this matter to my servant! Seeing that the big battle is coming, no matter how hesitant, I'm afraid Zhou Yu will succeed, my lord, think twice!"

After looking at Pang Tong for a long time, Li Lin suddenly laughed loudly. When everyone in the tent was stunned, Li Lin jumped up and shouted in a deep voice: "What Shi Yuan said is very true. How can such a reviled thing happen?" Other people meddle! Hmph! Since I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can such a major event be done by others? I appreciate Shi Yuan’s kindness, but it’s just a mere notoriety. Lao Tzu’s notoriety is not much less than a good reputation, not bad for this one I, Li Lin, will be responsible for this matter alone!"

"My lord!" Everyone in the tent exclaimed, they all wanted to help Li Lin fight this matter, and after listening to Li Lin's words, they all showed admiration.

"But before that..." Li Lin looked around at the people in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Zilong, Ziyi, Meng Qi, pass on my order to summon the soldiers who can still walk in the camp. I have something to say." Say it!" When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other, and then bowed their heads in obedience...

An hour later, nearly 30 Liao soldiers were summoned to the middle camp, except for the Liao soldiers who were sick and unable to get up, except for the patrolling soldiers. Li Lin's order made everyone very puzzled. , Isolate the sick Liao army, but Li Lin said it himself, but now they are called to meet again, in case something happens, what should we do?
Xia Houba pushed the wheelchair, and Li Lin sat on it with a weak complexion. No matter whether he was still suffering from illness, double illness, or depression in his heart, Li Lin's complexion would not be good. On the highest platform in the camp, Li Lin Lin's wheelchair was on it, looking down at the densely packed Liao army below.

I remember that Li Lin made his first appearance on the stage to pay homage to the general, and he was still in Le Lang. At that time, there were only a few thousand soldiers under his command, but seeing the excited, nervous, expectant and even fearful faces in the underground, coupled with Li Lin's complicated mood, it was such a feeling. Even Li Lin at this moment can't describe it, but right now, he is full of pain, especially looking at those Liao soldiers who pulled their spears and reluctantly stood up and came forward, looking at the conviction and respect in their eyes, As well as the dangerous body, Li Lin only felt his nose sore. These are his soldiers, brothers who followed him through life and death. Without him, they might have died a long time ago, or they might have a better life, but now, They have to be tortured like this, it's all their own, it's all their own fault!
Seeing Li Lin on the stage, the 30 Liao troops below immediately fell silent, except for a few sneezes, there was no sound; in front of them were a group of generals of the Liao army, except for Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Ma Chao and other generals, there were also other generals. General, Barnyard General, and Ya General, after all, Li Lin alone cannot convey the voice to the 30 army, and these generals are responsible for conveying Li Lin's voice to every Liao army... …

"Hey..." With a slight sigh, Li Lin stood up unsteadily, holding on to the armrest of the wheelchair.

"Father!" Xiahouba was already behind him, and he was about to come forward to help Li Lin, but Li Lin raised his hand and stopped Xiahouba's movement.

Immediately, Li Lin's eyes were extremely firm, and he slowly moved forward, one step, two steps, three steps... Li Lin came before everyone's eyes, allowing them to see more clearly.

"Brothers!" Li Lin on the stage just said one sentence, and after hundreds of generals of the Liao army passed on, the 30 troops suddenly became quieter and looked towards the direction of the high platform.

Li Lin opened his mouth slowly, "Since the imperial power of the Han Dynasty fell to the side, and eunuchs and eunuchs interfered in the government, there has been a lot of chaos in the world. There was the Yellow Turban Rebellion before, and Dong Zhuo was a disaster later. I am a big man who has suffered a lot. Natural disasters, military disasters, and the displacement of the people , bones are everywhere... I, Li Lin, set up an army from Lelang and fought against the princes of all walks of life. It is not a frame to help the Han Dynasty to serve the country loyally and calm the troubled times, but to have a peaceful world, so that my brothers, sisters, wives and children in the family Being able to live in peace will stop the war in the world, so that my family can live a stable and prosperous life, and these families include you! And your family!" As he said, Li Lin raised his finger and pointed to the soldiers below.

Li Lin went on to say: "Among you, some are my old brothers who came with me from Liaodong, some followed me later, and many of you are my enemies, soldiers under my enemies, and then surrendered to me, but Since you and Li Lin are the soldiers of our Liao army, regardless of each other, you are all soldiers in our army, and you are all brothers of my Li Lin. There is no high or low, and no one can replace you! One person is honored, and the three armies are honored. Honor; if one person is humiliated, the whole army will be humiliated, from the generals to the soldiers. If there are no generals and no soldiers, how can it be called the Liao army? It is my life, without you, I would not be today, Li Lin, I, Li Lin, fought all the way, swept half the world of the big man, several ups and downs, when I was poor, there was no soldier by my side, but it was because of you , I, Li Lin, have never been afraid, because I have a group of brothers behind me to help me, and they can work hard for me, and I..." Li Lin pointed to his heart, and said: "I, Li Lin, will also treat you As my brothers and sisters, I, Li Lin, want to give you a good future, so that you can live a good life, eat enough, wear warm clothes, marry a wife, have children, and have a happy family, not only that , even your son, your grandson, your descendants, I, Li Lin, will let them live a good life! You gave me your life, and I, Li Lin, will give you everything I can do So I, Li Lin, are your lords! You are also my Li Lin’s lords!"

"Bang!" After speaking, Li Lin suddenly knelt heavily in front of the soldiers and bowed to them.

Xia Houba's eyes were already red behind him, seeing Li Lin kneeling down, he quickly knelt down.

"My lord!" The nearly 30 soldiers in the audience were so shocked that they immediately fell to their knees and shouted in unison, like a thunderclap, resounding through the sky. Due to the suffering of the disease for the past few days, their morale was gradually fading away. A shake,.

Everyone in the audience was already crying, and Li Lin was holding back his tears, but he didn't know that his tears had already flowed out involuntarily, and with a choked sound, Li Lin continued: "Once upon a time, when the stage was leveled, How far away are these four words, but now, I have indeed touched it, touched the arrival of the peaceful and prosperous age, how can mere Jiangdong, mere Sun Quan, and mere Liu Bei stand in the way of my Liao army? As tyrannical as Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, or Cao Cao and Liu He were all defeated by your feet, soldiers, do you think so?"

"Drink!" First, he moved people with affection, and then he was domineering. This is Li Lin, and this is the person who can raise the aura from the bottom of the valley to the ninth heaven with just a few words!

"However, maybe it was God's will..." Li Lin on the stage slowed down, and the voice he spit out was full of confusion and sorrow, and said: "Just when we almost reached the threshold of the prosperous age, God opened fire for our army. I made a joke, there is a disease..."

Following Li Lin's voice paused, the Liao army's breathing slowed down a bit, and they were a little disturbed. At this moment, Li Lin's voice came again, which shocked the Liao army below.

"The matter of the plague is of great importance, and I dare not hide it. Perhaps you also understand in your heart that this disease has affected 40 soldiers in the entire army, and more than 40 of them died of this disease. It is now in front of our army. The current situation is that this disease... can indeed be cured, but the medicinal materials in the camp can't cure my 5 soldiers, but can only cure [-] to [-] people!"

As soon as Li Lin's voice fell, the Liao army below was in chaos. The generals of the Liao army who conveyed Li Lin's voice all looked in the direction of the high platform with expressions of shock.After all, even if there is a layer of paper, there is a great relationship between whether to tell the truth or not!Let's talk about Li Lin's last sentence, even if Sun Wu is resurrected, it may be difficult to suppress the turmoil of the Liao army, right?

The Liao army below was in chaos, with terrified faces, and the six gods looked around helplessly. People are like this. Under the hopelessness of survival, it is the easiest to cause a mutiny. Li Lin also thought that the Liao army would be in chaos. Before Wan Dajun rioted, he shouted first.

"Brothers, let's listen first!" I had to say.Li Lin's prestige in the army is indeed enormous. After Li Lin's words were transmitted to the entire army, the more than [-] Liao troops gradually calmed down...

Under such circumstances, how can the three armies be calmed down? How can it be controlled?However, it is obviously inseparable from the fact that after the plague broke out in the camp, Li Lin often haunted the back camp. In the case of serious illness, people's hearts are extremely fragile. Soldiers will come, and more than [-] troops can quell the riots. I am afraid it is because of Li Lin's care in recent days rather than saying that the eyes of the masses are discerning!

"Half a month ago, I learned that there was an epidemic in the camp, but I didn't order the whole army. I would like to apologize to everyone! Seeing that the decisive battle with Jiangdong is getting closer, I am the commander in chief of the army. I really don't want to call my army The morale of the army was shaken, so that it was defeated in a mere Jiangdong, ruining the reputation of our Liao army! However, right now, it is no longer possible to hide from the brothers. What I said just now, the medicinal materials in the camp can only cure 5 to [-] people, every word is true, I feel , at this moment, if you lie to the warriors in our army, how can you be called a human being!" Li Lin's voice fell silent, and the more than [-] people in the camp were all moved by it...

"My lord!" Zhao Yun glanced in the direction of the high platform and muttered to himself.

"As for the plague, as the commander-in-chief, I cannot shirk my responsibility, and I do not ask for your forgiveness! As I said just now, no matter where our soldiers come from at this moment, they are all my brothers, Li Lin. How can we give up any of them? ?My Liao army has a strict order, don’t give up, don’t abandon, as the commander of an army, how can he know how to break the law and abandon any soldier in our army! So I, Li Lin, don’t suggest, I’m asking brothers! Those medicinal materials are boiled into soup, and distributed among my 40 lieutenant soldiers. If there is any shortage, mix it with wine and water. After that, we will all live in peace, from the generals to the soldiers, even Li Lin. ! Life and death are up to God! What do you soldiers think?"

"My lord!" The more than [-] soldiers were deeply moved, and their hearts were naturally moved.

Not far away, Hua Lun shook his head secretly, and said with a wry smile: "King Liao! Nonsense, nonsense, if the power of the medicine is dispersed, what effect can it have?" It was the first time for these three to see Li Lin. They had always heard of Li Lin's reputation. Of course, he also had a notoriety. , Following such a lord is simply the greatest luck for these 30 soldiers!

"Perhaps this is the case. The number of soldiers who survived in the end is probably less than [-] to [-], but they cannot abandon anyone in our army, my brother Li Lin! No matter when or why, I will never abandon anyone. Soldiers! Even if it is a plague! Soldiers, what do you think!"

The more than [-] Liao troops were silent for a moment, and suddenly raised their right fists and shouted sharply: "I wish to obey what my lord says! I want to obey what my lord says!"

"Okay!" Li Lin yelled loudly, and said in a deep voice: "Command! Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Guo Tu, Kuai Yue, quickly ask people to prepare concoctions and drinks, and distribute them to all the soldiers of our army. No one will be missed. ! Even if it's me!"
