The most arrogant in history

Chapter 308: Troops march out of Qishan!

Han Chun asked: "But Jiangdong is invading, what should we do?"

"The invasion from Jiangdong must have been instigated by Xiahou Chang." Ye Kun saw the situation clearly and said with a smile:

"But Jiangdong Xiao Dequan, to put it bluntly, is a government of a gentry alliance. Such a gentry alliance considers the interests of their own clans and it is difficult for them to unite together. They also have no ambition to expand their territory. Don't look at their aggressiveness. In fact, they are all tentative attacks. As long as they are slightly frustrated, they will withdraw their troops immediately!"

The Yangzhou Group of the Dading Kingdom is exactly the same as the Eastern Wu Group in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

It is just a loose alliance of gentry, a group of guard dogs!

Throughout the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Eastern Wu Group never won any war of foreign aggression.

But we have never lost a defensive battle.

Because the gentry’s roots are all in the south of the Yangtze River, they just want to protect their roots.

They do not have a strong sense of territorial expansion, nor do they have the ability to do so.

Ye Kun was not worried about the situation in the southeast. He believed that Huangfu Lin and Yan Liuhai’s army would be enough to give Xiao Dequan a hard time!

Zhuge Feng looked at everyone and said:

"Our strategic goal this time is to take over Yongliang Prefecture at all costs. Now that the goal has been determined, everyone must work towards it without any objections. The lord has already made perfect arrangements for the situation in the southeast, so you don't have to worry about it."

Xie Tong and the others didn't dare to say anything more and just nodded.

Ye Kun immediately sent a pigeon to arrange the defense of the southeast.

He ordered Huangfu Lin's navy to hold their ground, and if the Jiangdong navy attacked, they would release bamboo rafts piled with kerosene and firewood and let them float downstream.

Ye Kun’s new warships have not been built yet, and the navy is no match for Jiangdong, so he has to endure.

Focus on defense.

Occupying the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is an advantage for the Yizhou navy.

Ye Kun also ordered Yan Liuhai to take the initiative to attack, using false and real tactics and roundabout tactics to eliminate the effective forces of the Jiangdong Army.

Chongqing, Dongba County and Tianmen County were responsible for the food and fodder for the Southeast Army.

Qin Erwu marched eastward from the three counties of Shangyong, advancing step by step, intimidating the area around Xiangfan and responding to Huangfu Lin's navy.

Xie Tong, Han Chun and others felt relieved when they saw Ye Kun's good command and ability to plan.

At the end of the first month, Ye Kun prepared to summon the civil and military officials of Chengdu and announce that the army would set out on February 2.

February 2nd is the day when the dragon raises its head, which is a good day.

The year before last we attacked Yizhou, and last year we attacked Hanzhong, both times the troops were dispatched on the second day of the second lunar month.

Ye Kun hopes to continue the victory and successfully capture the two states of Yong and Liang!

At this time, Huangfu Lin and Yan Liuhai both brought good news.

Huangfu Lin fought against the Jiangdong navy and won a small victory, but the Jiangdong troops were already exhausted;

Yan Liuhai lived up to expectations, won battle after battle, and almost reached the city of Changsha, killing so many soldiers from Jiangdong that they were terrified!

Ye Kun was overjoyed. He sent a pigeon to inform Gongsun Shangfei, who was stationed in Western Qiang, to join forces with Kangbuza of Western Qiang and lead his own troops and 5,000 Qiang soldiers to set out first and launch a tentative attack.

Order Qin Erwu to attack Xiangfan, mainly for harassment.

Order Wang Meng's army to march out of Tangluo Road;

Order Zhong Tiankui's troops to leave Ziwu Valley.

He personally led more than 30,000 elite troops from the central army, out of the Qishan Road, and headed straight for the Yongliang land!

But just as the army was about to set out, a maid from Chunhui Garden came running over and reported to Ye Kun: "Your Highness, Prince Ye Feng has suddenly fallen ill and has a high fever. Your Majesty, please go back and see him!"

"Is Feng'er sick?"

Ye Kun was surprised and told everyone: "Everyone follow the original plan and do your own thing. I'll go back and take a look and come back."

Ye Kun still loves his son Ye Feng very much.

In Chunhui Garden, Jiang Yourong was holding her son and crying, her face full of sadness and anxiety.

Seven or eight doctors, both male and female, were standing by with heavy faces, helpless.

Ye Kun's mother was also wiping her tears and muttering to herself, saying that if anything happened to her grandson, she would not be able to live.

Dai Xi, Xie Baochan and others were all there, so he didn't dare to speak.

"You were fine two days ago, what happened? Let me take a look."

Ye Kun walked over and checked the child's temperature.

The forehead is hot and the body temperature is very high.

The doctor whispered, "Master Ye, we have tried to reduce the temperature, but it doesn't go down. The child is unconscious, and when he wakes up occasionally, his eyes are blank... Listening to the heart with a stethoscope, it seems that there is something wrong with his lungs..."

"You are a bunch of quacks. If there is anything wrong with the young master, I will chop you to pieces!" Tan Bamao shouted with gritted teeth.

"Shut up!"

Ye Kun stopped Tan Bamao and said to the doctors, "Don't be afraid. Treat the child bravely and carefully and do your best. Children are young and have poor resistance. It's normal for them to get sick occasionally."

This is the level of medical care available in this era.

Even in the future intelligent era, doctors cannot cure all diseases.

Ye Kun inquired about the situation in detail and analyzed the condition with the doctors.

According to Jiang Yourong, the child had a cough two days ago and started having a fever yesterday.

Ye Kun suspected that it was acute pneumonia.

It’s difficult without anti-inflammatory drugs.

A doctor whispered, "Master Ye, we have already started to refine and use the penicillin you mentioned. According to the test results of the military camp hospital, sometimes... it works, and sometimes it doesn't. The young master is too young, so we dare not use it. Please make the decision for me."

Research on penicillin began a long time ago.

It has been more than a year, but progress has been slow.

So-called research is nothing more than random experiments.

Ye Kun remembered that the invention of penicillin was accidentally discovered when cucumbers became moldy, so he asked everyone to conduct a large number of experiments using cucumbers.

Use the extraction method to filter the fermented liquid of Penicillium and give it to the patient orally or apply it externally on the wound.

According to Mr. Xia Tuo's verification, it is more convenient and more effective to mold rice milk than to mold cucumber.

Half a year ago, formal trials began, with some promising results.

But Ye Feng was too young, and he was Ye Kun’s son, so the doctors didn’t dare to do any random experiments on him!

So I asked Ye Kun for instructions.

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "First, give conservative treatment. Boil some willow bark in water and use a cold towel to dissipate the heat. If the condition continues to worsen, give some penicillium slurry."

Ye Kun was also helpless about his son's illness.

We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate!

Xie Tong and others rushed over after hearing the news, clasped their fists and said, "Master Ye, since the young master is ill, let's put the army's expedition on hold."

Jiang Yourong cried even more and held Ye Kun's hand: "Husband, you can't leave now. I have never begged you for anything, but I beg you just this once..."

Ye Kun's mother also burst into tears: "No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as my grandson. Dalang, from now on, you can't leave my grandson!"

"Don't worry, mother. Your grandson will be fine. I have made all the arrangements."

Ye Kun comforted his mother and asked the maid to take her away.

Then, Ye Kun took Jiang Yourong's hand and whispered:

"Feng'er will be fine, don't worry. The best doctors are all here. Feng'er's uncle and aunt are also here. Even if I stay, I can't help. Going to war is a national event. Not to mention Feng'er, even if I am seriously ill now, I can't change the plan."

Jiang Yourong cried even harder when she heard this.

Ye Kun looked at Xie Tong and the others, gritted his teeth and said:

"I am raising an army to the north to eliminate cruelty and violence for the country and save the people from disaster. How can I abandon the great cause of the world because of a child? Pass on my military order. The army will set out tomorrow without any delay!"
