Chapter 808: Something Happened in the Southwest
In Zhongnan Academy, which lasted forty days before and after, Sun Simiao tried the medicine with himself, joined forces with the drug nameless, and united dozens of well-known imperial doctors in the palace to finally overcome the antidote to drug addiction.
Fifteen days later, the antidote prescription was quickly delivered to Bai Fan of Jiannan Province, and from then on, 50,000 poisoned Tang soldiers were able to detoxify without suffering, and the danger in the southwest could be solved.
But when Li Ji and others rushed to Tubo with an army of 200,000 and wanted to destroy the country in one go to revenge, they stopped in Wangzhou on the border of the Tang Dynasty.
If he wanted to take such a fortified city, it was estimated that at least 50,000 to 100,000 troops would die, and Li Ji could only order to camp and defend it.
However, these are no longer things that Bai Fan thinks about, in the past few years, Bai Fan has basically not been in a hurry and has not participated in military affairs, and the matter of fighting is the matter of the commander and the military department, so after the drug addiction in Yizhou City was lifted, Bai Fan and Du Ruhui embarked on the return journey of Chang'an.
Along the way, once again on the ancient Shu Road, the two of them also checked the situation of Li Chengxun's road repair, started construction on both sides, opened the mountain with sharp weapons, regardless of the cost of investment, it was originally expected to be repaired in ten years, and now it seems that eight years or even less can build a road across the Qinling Mountains.
As soon as they returned to Chang'an, the two were invited into the palace by Emperor Li Er, mainly to invite Bai Fan, because Du Ruhui, as the prime minister, naturally knew the rules of reporting when he returned to Beijing, but Bai Fan was no one dared to care, so the emperor could only invite him.
In the council hall, a lot of important people came, and even Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, who successfully detoxified, participated in it.
Du Ruhui stood in the middle, and told the story of the southwest crisis in detail in 1510, and also talked about the current situation, which caused everyone to be shocked again and again.
"In this way, Mao Gong should have entered the territory of Tubo now." Li Er said with satisfaction.
Although it was attacked this time, the 50,000 troops of Yucheng City were saved, and they did not lose too much, and they were still the main force in the conquest of Tubo, but Jiannan Dao lost some of the soldiers who defended the city, and they were able to destroy Tubo in one go, which was negligible.
"I'm afraid the situation is not so rosy." Bai Fan stood up and spoke.
"What? Jane, did you get the news? ”
"No, but since Tubo retreated early, how could it not prevent our Tang Dynasty from attacking? Now that they have thunder in their hands, if we want to break into Tibet, I'm afraid it will be difficult, and Mao Gong will not approve of using the number of people. ”
When Bai Fan was in Shuzhong, he counted the number of thunderbolts used by Tubo, if they were not mistaken, they didn't even use 40,000 thunderbolts, when the Tang Dynasty had 100,000 thunderbolts in their hands, they could be used to defend the grassland against 500,000 northern allies, and now Tubo has 60,000 thunderbolts, and they only need to defend the entrance to a city, that is, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood can't push it over.
"Forget it, let's leave the matter of the war to Mao Gong and them, the military has been screaming and screaming, I believe they can do it.
Tell me about the drugs. ”
Li Er never expected that Tubo would treat his people in his own way, and did not retreat to the plateau, but nailed down in the Tang Dynasty's Netzhou, Li Ji was not in a hurry to win, and had already sent a document to Chang'an for help.
"This thing has not yet mastered the essence of its use, so the poisoning is relatively rough, and the addiction formed is not so deep, after we make the antidote, this poison is no longer a threat.
In Jiannan Province, it has been officially notified to all localities to strictly prevent the enemy from poisoning and infiltrating, and at the same time announcing the antidote to the people, even if the Tubo wants to poison and control it again this time, it will definitely not succeed. ”
Bai Fan only said so much, and did not say too much about the poison of the poppy, in case he leaked too much, let the people with a heart leak out, and the enemy created a more powerful drug, it would be a bad thing, so far, I don't know if Senior Brother Sun's antidote can detoxify other drugs.
Some deliberation dispersed at noon, the emperor and the hundred officials were at peace in their hearts, Tubo was menacing, and the Tang Dynasty successfully retreated from the enemy in less than two months, which is worth celebrating.
The emperor wanted to leave Bai Fan to eat, but he was politely refused, because Li Jiancheng, the old father-in-law in the council hall, gave him a look, and after the palace discussion, he was dragged together to the Jin Palace.
"Jian Zhi, you've been in the southwest for almost two months, have you heard any news from Chang'an?" Li Jiancheng asked.
Bai Fan smiled slightly: "News from Chang'an? Which is the father-in-law? Is it the clown of the eldest grandson Shunde? ”
"Hehe, you really know, people say that you Lantian Hou is the best in the world in intelligence, originally I didn't believe it, after all, in terms of intelligence, the emperor still has the secret guard and the hundred cavalry division in his hands, and now it seems that they are not as good as you."
"It's nothing, it's just some well-known information, even if I don't have an intelligence system, I will know it by hearsay on the way back, but I haven't been able to dig out the person behind him.
Is there anything for my father-in-law to tell me? Bai Fan asked.
Li Jiancheng shook his head and sighed: "It's all the fourth brother, he killed early, there is no proof of death, the other party is not an ordinary person, he is very deep, although I suspect that the eldest grandson Wuji pretended to be a hindrance, but there is no evidence." ”
Bai Fan waved his hand and said: "It is unlikely that this matter is him, but even if we find out that it is him, I am afraid there is nothing we can do about him, is he the emperor's favor after all, and he is the queen's brother." ”
"What? Are you afraid of a relative of him?
With my support, what relatives can't be killed? Li Jiancheng said with a shock.
"No, I don't want to do anything to him yet, I think he should know how to measure, how can an old fox be called an old fox if he doesn't have a wise vision to protect himself?
No matter how he said it, he was also the father of Changsun Chong, and for the sake of my disciple, I didn't want to kill him.
I suspect it's not him. ”
"Oh? Do you already have a goal? Who is it? Li Jiancheng asked.
Bai Fan shook his head and didn't want to say anything, but Li Jiancheng was a person, and when he heard the strings, he immediately guessed, "You, are you suspicious of the second child?" ”
"It's not impossible, since ancient times, the heart of the emperor is the most unpredictable, how can the side of the couch allow others to sleep soundly?
Datang is about to rebuild the foundation of the strong Han Dynasty, such a great achievement, the emperor can monopolize it and will not share it with others.
The eldest grandson Shunde is just a tentative outcast, a little person, but he didn't expect to be broken by Yuanba. ”
This...... Li Jiancheng groaned.
"Then will you ......?"
Li Jiancheng's problem is very clear, according to Bai Fan's character of revenge, if the emperor did it, he would definitely take revenge afterwards, as the emperor's eldest brother, as Bai Fan's father-in-law, Li Jiancheng, who was caught in the middle, did not want to see the two go to war.
