Chapter 285 Good luck, drink the medicine! (Wish everyone a happy new year and all the best)

About two hundred miles northwest of Helan Mountain, there is an oasis of not too big or small in a desert called Loubobe Oasis. There is also a lake near this oasis. Although it is dry and no river flows through it, this lake is rippling with water and there is no tendency to dry up.

However, the oasis is not green because of this lake, because this lake is a salt lake called Tang Wenchi. The lake water has a very high salinity and cannot be drunk at all.

The green of the Loubobe Oasis is because there is a spring in the oasis that is full of clear and sweet spring water all year round.

The Baimaqiang Town Military Office of the Dabai Gaoguo is located in the Loubobe Oasis. This Baimaqiang Town Military Office not only guards the oasis with abundant water, but also looks at a salt lake with a lot of wealth, and gradually becomes more developed. Not only has a large circle of stone walls been built, but also a grain storage cellar built in the oasis, and a lot of wheat was stored, and finally it has become an important border defense center in the northwest of Xingzhou.

And this important border defense center has now become the shelter and equipment place for Li Ganshun, the fourth emperor of the Great Bai Kingdom... I really guessed that Li Ganshun was really pretending to be sick in Lou Bobei Oasis.

The reason why he pretended to be sick was not that he was afraid that the people below would force him to fight. Richard was responsible for the battle, and it was not his turn. He just felt that he had lost his ancestors' foundation and had no shame to meet others... This shows that he was a shameless soldier.

On the way to Loubobe Oasis, he told his good brother Cha Ge about this matter. Cha Ge suggested that he pretend to be sick after he arrived at Loubobe Oasis... Maybe he could hear the good news that the Jin soldiers defeated Zhao Kai in ten days and half a month.

At that time, he will be able to stand up and lead the big guy back to his hometown!

Li Ganshun thought his brother's method was good, so he pretended to faint as soon as he arrived at Loubobe Oasis, then squinted in the palace, and handed over all the military affairs to Cha Ge for cooking.

However, he had been pretending to be sick for more than 20 days, and he did not get the news that the Jin soldiers had defeated Zhao Kai. Instead, he got the news that the Song and Jin armies had confronted each other at the fork in the Yellow River.

According to Cha Ge's report, Zhao Kai did not rush to leave Xingzhou this time, but instead sent the general Yue Fei and Li Xiaozhong to lead a 100,000 army to advance along the Yellow River water and land, and also went step by step to build two forts every twenty-five miles - one in Hedong and one in Hexi. From the Keyi Gate to the fork in the Yellow River, a total of twenty forts were built, and the rear route was kept tightly!

Obviously, Zhao Kai is guarding against Li Ganshun, who is the garrison of Lou Beibo Oasis!

Moreover, after the Song army arrived at the front line of the Yellow River bifurcation, they did not rush to attack, but set up a hard village along the Yellow River channel, looking like they were ready to confront each other for a long time.

In addition, Cha Ge also told Gan Shun that Zhao Kai had transferred many recruits to the Xingzhou Valley at the foot of the Helan Mountains these days. In addition to taking over the dangerous cities, he also began to harvest the ripe winter wheat!

Is this going to fight a protracted war with the Jin people in Xingzhou?

This made Li Ganshun so anxious... The Jin people supported the prairie at the foot of Heishan Mountain and the prairie at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, and could sheep and farm. The Song people had Xingzhou and Lingzhou's wheat, and seemed to be hungry.

But what should Li Ganshun do if the Dangxiang people of Baimaqiang Town Army Division can support the grain for two months... And Li Ganshun can't stay in Loubeibo Oasis for two months. His army still has to have a meal on his way to the Yan Army Division of Heishui Town!

However, it is not the worst thing to escape to Dunhuang with empty hands. The worst thing is that Zhao Kai must have noticed Li Ganshun's conspiracy... Otherwise, how could Zhao Kai, who likes to fight so much, stay in Xingzhou personally? How could he let his army build a fortress all the way to the forks of the Yellow River?

What a vicious person Zhao Kai is! Can he let Li Ganshun, who wants to plot against him?

Definitely not!

When Li Ganshun thought of Zhao Kai's "official anger", he really couldn't stand it anymore... He was so anxious that he couldn't sleep that night that night, so he had to pour a jar of soju (not the distilled white wine) brought by Brother Richard before he could barely fall asleep.

I don’t know if it was because of the bad wine or because Zhao Kai’s “official anger” was frightened. He fell ill the next day, vomited and had diarrhea, and had a high fever.

Now it’s gone. Pretending to be sick has turned into a real disease, and it’s not bad, and it’s a little confused.

"Wuzun, Wuzun...it's time to drink medicine!"

Li Ganshun, who had a fever and was a little confused, suddenly heard a very familiar voice in his ear calling him to take medicine...

However, Li Ganshun refused to drink, and his mouth was pursed tightly... After being a stern for so many years, he still had this vigilance! Even if he was confused, he was still resisting taking medicine in his subconscious mind!

Seeing that he refused to drink medicine, the voice began to persuade again: "You are sick now... you are so sick, how can you not drink medicine? You should drink it. If you drink medicine, nothing will happen."

Nothing happened? When Li Ganshun heard this, he quickly opened his eyes and saw his good brother, Brother Richard, sitting beside him, holding a big bowl in his hand, and an unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine came out of the bowl.

Seeing Li Ganshun awake, Brother Cha showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Wu Zu, drink it... Just drink it!"

"Okay?" Li Ganshun sighed, "Can it be good?"

"Good!" Brother Richard smiled, "Wu Zu, I just got the battle report at the fork in the Yellow River... The Song army and the Jin soldiers fought, and it was a bloody battle!"

"Is that?" Li Ganshun suddenly felt energetic. He looked dying just now, and now he could sit up on the bed. "Who, who won?"

"Wu Zu, you drink the medicine first... After you finish the medicine, I will tell you in detail!"

As Brother Richard spoke, he handed over a large bowl of medicine.

Li Ganshun was eager to get news about his life, and he trusted his brother Cha Ge very much, so he took the big bowl full of brown medicine juice, frowned and put the big bowl to his mouth, sucking the medicine juice into his mouth... After drinking it, he felt something was wrong, so he asked: "This medicine is so bitter! Cha Ge, what medicine is this?"

Brother Richard said: "I'm just some medicines to regulate the stomach and intestines... I added some medicines that Emperor Rensheng Da Xiaowen gave to the Empress Dowager."

"Emperor Rensheng Da Xiaowen?" Li Ganshun was stunned, "He is..."

"He is the emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, and his temple name is Daozong!" "Daozong of Liao..." Li Ganshun's face suddenly changed. He had turned a little blue before, but now he has turned blue-black, "You, you..."

He had already remembered that in order to help him kill his mother, Emperor Daozong of Liao sent envoys to give poison to his mother, Empress Dowager Xiao Liang!

At that time, I gave too much medicine, and a total of ten kilograms of arsenic was given. Queen Mother Xiaoliang couldn't eat that much, so there was only a lot left. Li Ganshun was reluctant to throw it away and kept it in the palace. Later, he used some for his son Li Renai and his wife Yelu Nanxian. Unexpectedly, it was his turn to be food poisoning now!

Brother Richard sighed and said, "I brought you the medicine given to my mother by Daozong back then... It's probably over the years and the effect is a bit bad. I put it in wine for you to drink it last time, but it didn't work. But don't worry, this time I doubled the amount and it will definitely work!"

It turned out that Ganshun was not sick, but poisoned... But Brother Richard had no experience in doing this and used it less, so he didn't let Ganshun die. Now he had to rework and then poison the next time.

"You, you..." Li Ganshun felt a burst of cramps in his abdomen at this time... This is about to end!

Thinking of this, he would shout for help, but Brother Richard covered his mouth. Brother Richard was a military general and had a lot of strength. He asked him to cover his mouth. How could he shout out?

Brother Cha persuaded him in his ear: "Don't shout... No one will come! Everyone wants you to die! If you don't die... How do you explain to the officials in the Song Dynasty? If you don't die, how do you explain to the ancestors and clans? If you don't die, how do you explain to the hundreds of thousands of nations who leave their hometowns? Don't worry, after you die, I will be the governor and I will not hand over this mess to your son.

And I will not kill your son Renxiao, so I will let him go to Luoyang with Concubine Shun to serve as a charity. Concubine Shun's sister is now favored, and the government will not make things difficult for them, mother and son. You can go with peace of mind..."

This is such a good brother! I thought so thoughtful. What else can Li Ganshun do? What else can he do except say "thank you" and then die with peace of mind?

And even if he was uneasy, he was beyond saving. How strong is Brother Richard? He even strangled him to death!

......

Just when Li Ganshun died of illness, there were a group of people outside his dormitory waiting to see him off! These were all loyal ministers of the Dabai Gaoguo!

Seeing the door of the room open, Richard was dejected and came out with a sad look on his face. Everyone knew that the stern was gone! Everyone who was stretching their necks just now and was nervous, now they all sighed at the same time.

Li Renli was the first to go up and ask: "The commander, the master will come to him..."

Brother Richard sighed: "The Lord has passed away... The Lord is worried and angry, so the medicine is useless!"

In fact, the medicine stone is still useful! Li Ganshun died of bleeding from seven orifices, not strangled to death by Brother Richard... This 27 or 8 years old arsenic produced by the Liao Kingdom is still very useful!

Li Renli said: "Dutongjun, you are the brother of the Lord. Now our Hexi army is in trouble again and we need the eldest prince to rule. I will ask the Dutongjun to stay as the governor!"

"I would like to ask the commander-in-chief to stay as the governor..."

The others in the yard all followed Li Renli and supported Li Cha as the queen.

Brother Richard was not polite to them... The Hexi Army will fight against Gaochang Uighurs and Hei Khan Uighurs next. How can Li Renxiao and his child be the governor?

However, he did not accept it immediately, but said to everyone: "The news of the Lord's death cannot be disclosed yet to avoid the army's spirit of being shaken... In addition, the army cannot set off immediately and must continue to stay here."
