Jinghong Building

Chapter 392 Messenger

In June, the weather was hot, and the Military Medical Department sent dozens of military doctors and more than 200 medical engineers to the northwest in two routes, while the official documents of the Military Medical Department were delivered to the various units ten days in advance.

Soldiers are strictly prohibited from drinking raw water, soldiers are strictly prohibited from eating overnight meals, and additional inspection officials are added, and they are stationed in the camp and inspected as they eat.

After receiving the official document, He Dali and Fu Yansheng immediately conveyed it.

At the same time, an uninvited guest came to the Chang'an Palace located in Xi'an.

In midsummer, the person who came was covered tightly and wore a mili on his head. This person came with He Jiang's wife.

Ladies often wear Mili when they travel, but in such hot weather, not many people insist on wearing Mili.

Mrs. He is He Shuting's adopted mother. She often goes in and out of the palace on weekdays. Without interrogating the door, she greeted them with a smile respectfully.

Mrs. He brought the man directly to the back house. When she heard that Mrs. He was here, He Shuting was already waiting in the flower hall.

Seeing that Mrs. He was still with someone, He Shuting looked at him. When Mrs. He shrugged, He Shuting left the people who served by him, there were only mother and daughter and the man wearing Mili in the flower hall.

The man slowly took off the Mili from his head, revealing a man's face.

Moreover, this person has a high nose and deep eyes, which is not the appearance of a Han person.

He Shuting was surprised. Why did Mrs. He bring such a man to see her?

The man bent down to salute He Shuting, and said in unfluential Chinese language: "The villain, Tartar businessman, Hu'er, has seen a noble princess."

He Shuting's breathing paused for a moment, Tartar businessman?

She looked at Mrs. He with a cold expression: "Mother, what's going on?"

Mrs. He smiled and said, "I heard that the most powerful thing in the Ran Army was not the people, but their artillery. Yulin was as solid as a rock, but it was still bombarded by the artillery. Alas, your father and I were worried that we couldn't sleep, so we asked around where we were. You can get a firearm. Isn't it? If you want to sleep, someone handed the pillow. This is a sudden, he can get a cannon. I heard your father say that the artillery of the Tartars is even more powerful than the artillery of the Red Hairy."

He Shuting didn't understand artillery. She also learned from Wu Ji that the Ran Army had artillery, and it was a very powerful artillery.

There are also artillery in Yulin, but it is still artillery in the Taizu period, so it has been no longer used, and Xi'an has nothing.

She looked at Hu'erha and asked, "Can you really get the artillery?"

Huerha said, "The red-haired artillery was improved with Dala artillery. Dala has been making artillery for decades, and our Tartars have been in good faith for generations, so our Empress Dowager will It's Princess Dala, it's easy for us to get the Dala artillery."

He Shuting asked, "But the journey from the Tartars to Xi'an is long. Even if we buy artillery from you, it will not be able to relieve near thirst."

Huerha said, "Princess, besides artillery, we have other things that will interest you."

"What?" He Shuting asked.

Huerha took out a letter from the bag she carried with her and presented it to He Shuting with both hands.

He Shuting looked at the letter and did not take it, but said, "Remember!"

Huerha knew that she was worried about the poison hidden in the letter, so she took the letter apart and started reading it.

This letter was written by the Empress Dowager Man of the Tartars to Princess He Shuting of Chang'an.

The Empress Dowager Man was twenty-eight years old. Her first husband was former Khan Borchi. After Borchi's death, his son Akdu inherited everything from his father, including his father's woman, Akdu She was very fond of the young and beautiful Man and named her the queen.

Unfortunately, this love did not last long. Five years later, Akdu died of illness. The Man family supported his three-year-old son Chuoluo to ascend to the position of Khan. He has been in power behind the scenes since then, and it has been two years since then.

In the letter, Empress Dowager Man expressed her longing for the Princess Chang'an. She called Princess Chang'an one of the most powerful women in the world. She told Princess Chang'an that her only brother died at the hands of the general under He Ran and that her parents' family was lost. After her bravest son, she fell from then on, and she had an irreconcilable hatred with He Ran.

Therefore, she has a common enemy with the Princess Chang'an, and that is He Ran.

If the Princess of Chang'an did not dislike the rude Tartar women, she would be willing to form an alliance with the Princess of Chang'an, and Huerha was the envoy she sent.

Huerha's Chinese language is not fluent, but it is enough for the other two people in the house to understand the content of the letter.

Mrs. He was shocked. She thought Huerha was just an ordinary businessman. She never expected that this person was an envoy sent by the Empress Dowager of the Tartars.

As the wife of a former border general, Mrs. He knew the benefits and disadvantages.

People collectively call the aliens in the north a Tartar, but they are divided into three countries, and the Tartars are one of them.

These three countries intermarried with each other, and they could not distinguish between appearances alone. Among them, the Tartars had surrendered as early as the Taizu period and paid tribute to the court every year. The Tartars and the court opened up their mortise and commerce between the two places.

Since the royal family moved the capital, the Tartars stopped paying tribute. After all, at that time, the heroes had already cut their tribute and their tribute could not be delivered to Jinling smoothly. The mortise and yard was closed. For safety reasons, the two places no longer sent caravans to each other.

However, in the northwest, you can occasionally see the Tartar businessmen. They are protected by the government in Xi'an and do business normally.

Therefore, when a Tartar businessman said that he could get artillery, Mrs. He immediately introduced him to He Shuting.

It’s just that there is a difference between men and women, so Mrs. He asked Huerha to dress up as a woman.

Now that I learned that the person in front of me was not a real Tartar businessman, it would be impossible to say that Mrs. He was not afraid.

She was worried that if Wu Ji knew about this, she would definitely blame her.

She looked at He Shuting with fear, hoping that He Shuting would not blame her, but she met a pair of calm eyes.

He Shuting did not accept this matter as she imagined, but instead accepted it in the shortest time.

He Shuting asked, "Your Empress Dowager is Princess Dala, and did her brother die at Fu Yansheng's hands?"

Although Dala often invades the country, He Ran has been busy with civil wars. All He Shuting could think of was Fu Yansheng, who was stationed in Datong.

Huerha shook her head: "No, when Prince Ajin died, it was not Fu Yansheng who guarded Datong, but He Xiulong, who was the first general under He Ran."

He Shuting didn't know that Datong was actually defeated by He Xiulong.

At that time, Dala wanted to take advantage of the chaos and get a piece of the pie and lead his army to Datong. Unexpectedly, he met He Xiulong in the first battle and died under He Xiulong's big gun.

However, at that time, the Dala people pretended to be Han people, so until now, He Xiulong didn't know that she had killed a Dala prince.

Huerha told He Shuting that Empress Dowager Man had lost her mother since childhood and she was not favored by her father. If she had not been protected by her brother A Jin, she would have been left in the corner and fend for herself. Later, as a married princess, she married the Great Khan of the Tartars, and her brother Ajin became the prince who was most likely to inherit the throne of Khan. However, Ajin died at the hands of the Ran Army. Her father was old, but no one followed him. He could only pass the Khan position to his uncle's son.

Although He Shuting didn't understand and was not interested in these Tartars, the words of Empress Dowager Man were expressed in her heart.

She and Empress Dowager Man have a common enemy, that is He Ran.

He Shuting remained silent and said to Huerha, "Put on your mili and leave the royal palace."

Hu'er was stunned, not understanding what He Shuting meant.

He Shuting looked at Mrs. He: "Look at him and don't let him leave Xi'an."

Mrs. He agreed and took Huerha away from the royal palace tremblingly.

She didn't dare to let Huerha leave her sight, so she placed Huerha in an empty house in the He family and sent her confidant to guard it.

Hu'er smiled and said, "Madam is too worried. Since the Princess Chang'an let me leave the palace alive, I will not kill me. Since there is no danger, why should I leave Xi'an?"

Mrs. He thought it was the same, but she felt even more nervous. She didn't know what to do for a moment, but she didn't dare to tell her husband about it.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

If her husband knew that she not only brought a Tartar man to see the princess, but that man was also an envoy of the Tartars, he would definitely blame her, and maybe even fight her.

But that night, He Jiang still saw her abnormality. After asking, Mrs. He could only tell the truth.

She had the courage to tell what happened today, and her head was hanging down very low, and she didn't dare to look at her husband's face.

The room was surprisingly quiet, but she didn't hear her husband's angry rebuke. She couldn't help but look up, but saw her husband looking at the palace lanterns on the table, thinking.

She held her breath and dared not speak.

After a long time, He Jiang asked, "Is there anyone else who sees that Huer in the palace today?"

Mrs. He thought about it and shook her head surely: "Huerha is only of medium size. He wears a mili when he goes in and out. He looks like a slightly thick woman, and she will definitely not be seen through her identity."

He Jiang nodded: "That's good, let's do it. I'll go to see that Huerha tomorrow."

Mrs. He hurriedly said, "You go to see him? Are you going to tell the prince about this?"

The prince mentioned by Mrs. He is Wu Ji.

He Jiang snorted coldly: "Tell him? Do you really think he is a dough without temper? That is the person taught by the general himself. If he knew that Empress Dowager Man had sent an envoy, he would immediately kill that Huer. ha."

Mrs. He gasped and said, "Will he blame us?"

He Jiang looked at her contemptuously: "I really have long hair and short knowledge. How can I let him know about this kind of thing? And you must be careful and make sure that this matter cannot be spread."

"Of course I won't spread it, but I can't keep this from the prince. After all, he is the lord of a city. Moreover, the reason why the Empress Dowager Man sent someone to see the princess was because the princess was his wife. .” Mrs. He was still nervous.

"Why do you think the letter from Empress Dowager Man was written to the princess, not to the prince?" He Jiang asked.

Mrs. He shook her head, and she also felt strange. Could it be that the princess is also a woman, and it is easy for women to communicate?

He Jiang said, "That's because of the princess' identity, first the daughter of He and then the wife of the Wu family."

Mrs. He was stunned: "Ho girl? Are you talking about He Ran's sister?"

He Jiang: "Of course it's He Ran's sister, it's not because she is our daughter."

Mrs. He still didn't understand: "But He Ran doesn't recognize her. Besides, she is now a princess. Isn't the princess' status noble?"

He Jiang sneered: "How long do you think if there is no foreign aid, she, the princess, can last?"

Mrs. He was startled: "You mean, we will lose?"

He Jiang looked at her like a fool and said slowly: "Do you know that the general has let Wu Ju escape? Do you know that the princess not only sent people to chase Wu Ju, but she also sent a team of troops to lead the prince's mansion. Have all the treasures in the private warehouse been transported away?”

Mrs. He thought she had heard it wrong, and it took a long time to recover and said, "The princess wants to escape? What about us? What about us?"

Mrs. He suddenly remembered her children, and she immediately understood: "Where did you send Abiao?"

Abiao is their eldest son.

"Where did you send him? Of course, I asked him to leave this place of right and wrong. By the way, I took half of our family’s assets over the years and let him take them away."

He Jiang's voice was cold, and Mrs. He was like falling into an ice cave.

She, the mother of the princess, has not yet been in the heat, so why is she going to run away?

He Jiang was too lazy to explain to her, how could the woman in the back home know this?

The next morning, He Jiang arrived at the house and saw Huerha.

After coming out of the house, He Jiang went to the royal palace. He was the princess' father and could see his daughter openly.

Only then did he realize that Wu Ji had not come back for two days and one night.

At this time, Wu Ji was in the army. Many soldiers fell ill, had diarrhea, and the severe high fever did not subside. Moreover, more and more soldiers were suffering from illness. The scout had just sent information, and He Dali's army made a comeback. Coming to Xianyang.

Wu Ji asked someone to capture all the doctors in Xi'an and Xianyang into the military camp, but even so, the condition still did not relieve it.

This morning, a soldier died.

Wu Ji was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He remembered what he saw in Jinyang back then. One year when he went to Jinyang, he happened to be recruiting military doctors and medical workers.

At that time, he was still curious and didn't know what the difference between a military doctor and a medical worker, or whether the girl Li around He Ran explained to him that the military doctor is a doctor and the medical worker assisted the doctor.

At that time, a stable lady happened to come to apply for the election. He looked interesting and thought He Ran was quite interesting, but he even wanted to recruit his aunts and sisters.

But he just found it interesting and didn't take it to heart.

Why didn't he take it to heart?

This happened a few years ago and he had even forgotten it.

And now, he remembered it, why did he remember it until now?

Wu Ji said to the deputy general: "Leave all the doctors in the military camp and don't let them go home. By the way, I'll send someone to find Wenpo. I'll find as much as I can find, and bring them all over. In addition to Wenpo, there are also pharmacies. Man, bring all those who know some medical skills here!”
