Chapter 293: No Regrets in Joining the Military

Chang Liu’s nose was still red, “I don’t want rewards.”

"Then what do you want?"

Changliu stared at Shen Yu's belly on the bed, "I want to practice martial arts well, and when the little prince is born, I will play with him."

"You think so well." Xie Tingzhou couldn't help but laugh, "Don't lead the young prince into trouble."

Changliu pursed his lips and said, "No way."

"Go and have a rest." Shen Yu said, "Go and see Sixi for me. Call the maid over. If you need anything, just take it."

Doctor Yu entered the door, followed by a doctor who was good at women's medicine from the city.

The doctor checked her pulse and said that the princess was in good health and the fetus in her belly was safe.

"Doctor Yu, stay." Shen Yu called to Dr. Yu who was about to leave, "I have something to ask Dr. Yu."

Doctor Yu lowered his head and said, "The princess deliberately pushed the prince away because she wanted to ask him about his condition."

"That's right." Shen Yu said: "Now that the four medicinal herbs have been combined with the three, I would like to ask you, will only the three medicinal herbs have a big impact on the efficacy of the medicine?"

"This..." Doctor Yu hesitated.

"It doesn't matter if you say so."

Doctor Yu said: "Then let me say it bluntly, what is missing is the most critical flavor. The three flavors collected now are just the auxiliary ingredients for that flavor."

Shen Yu's heart sank, and Doctor Yu quickly added.

"But don't worry, Princess. With your current body, as long as you don't use force, your life will be long."

"How long will it be?" Shen Yu looked at him.

Doctor Yu trembled in fear under Shen Yu's gaze, "If nothing unexpected happens...it should be more than ten years."

Shen Yu fell silent.

ten years.

Ten years later, their child would be only nine years old. Ten years was too short for them. He said he wanted to live a long life with her.

"Princess, please don't get excited." Doctor Yu quickly advised her.

Shen Yu nodded slowly, comforting herself with a suppressed heart, "We still have a long time, ten years, we can always find the medicinal materials in ten years."

Facing Doctor Yu's hesitant eyes, Shen Yu's heart tightened again.

"Is there any impact if I take the medicine too late?"

Doctor Yu hesitated and said nothing.

Shen Yu already knew the answer from his silence, "It's okay, you can go down."

…

The weather was extremely hot and humid, and the swallows flew low under the eaves, which was a precursor to heavy rain.

The minister wiping his sweat said, "Xie Tingzhou's men are already fighting against the Pei family in Luzhou. Now is our opportunity."

"what chance?"

"You can move the South Camp forward and take advantage of the fierce battle between the two armies to make a sneak attack and reap the benefits."

Another minister quickly waved his hand, "This can't be done. Nan Daying is Sheng Jing's last line of defense. If Xie Tingzhou attacks, only Nan Daying can protect Sheng Jing."

"I think it's better to send people to lobby."

"Absurd! Ridiculous! The army has already reached Luzhou, and half of the country has been trampled by Xie Tingzhou. How can they stop because of lobbying?"

Shengjing was in a dangerous situation. The imperial court wanted money but no money, and wanted soldiers but no soldiers. It was like the defeat of Yanliangguan and the last pillar of Zhou Dynasty was taken away.

No matter how hard they try, they can only hold up an umbrella that is swaying in the rain. Maybe one day the wind will blow and the big week will be blown away by the wind.

The trebuchet crashed against the city wall, sending rubble flying.

"Ouch." Chang Heng shouted, "Good guy, this thing made by Xi Jue Gou is really powerful."

Shen Zhao was slightly proud, "My sister defended Yanliang Pass impregnably under the fierce attack of this thing."

"The princess is certainly not an ordinary person." Chang Heng chuckled.

The trebuchet was captured from the Xijue people, and now it would be perfect to use it against Marquis Xuanping who had closed the city gate.

Shen Zhao stared at the city wall in the distance. Huge boulders hit the wall one after another. There were no soldiers walking on the wall. Shen Zhao couldn't help but wonder.

"Pei Qing didn't open the door to accept surrender, nor did he stand up to resist, and he didn't deploy troops on the city wall. What was his plan?"

Chang Heng said: "The dog is so cunning, isn't he afraid?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the soldier's voice, "Someone is coming!"

The two of them looked up and saw people getting on the city wall one after another.

Chang Heng immediately ordered, "Give me the archers!"

Arrows flew towards the city wall, and a series of screams came from the wind.

Shen Zhao listened carefully, and there seemed to be a woman's cry mixed with it.

wrong.

"Stop!" Shen Zhao ordered loudly, "Stop everyone!"

The arrow rain stopped, and the wails became clearer.

The soldiers in front ran back quickly, "General, there are no soldiers on the wall, they are all ordinary people."

Chang Hengce immediately stepped forward, "Damn Pei Qing, he actually used ordinary people to climb up the city wall to block arrows."

If they continue to attack the city and Xuanpinghou is not damaged at all, but the people who are driven up the city wall will die, Qingyun Guard and Fengjia Army will be accused of killing innocent people indiscriminately.

Marquis Xuanping's move was really vicious, but if they stopped attacking, Marquis Xuanping's plan would have succeeded.

Chang Heng paced back and forth anxiously, "Pei Qing's move will definitely lose the support of the people."

"He doesn't care about people's support at all," Shen Zhao said.

If he cared about the people's hearts, he would not have closed the city and trapped the people in the city. Marquis Xuanping held the people hostage in order to use them as hostages. If there were no people, they could attack the city with a large army and fight.

"What should we do now?" Chang Heng asked.

Shen Zhao's face was gloomy, "Let me think about it again."

The two armies fell into a stalemate. After a while, another soldier came to report that Marquis Xuanping had climbed up the city wall and bluntly wanted to see their general.

Shen Zhao rode his horse and stood in front of the formation, looking at the Luzhou city wall in the distance.

There was a row of people standing on the city wall, including men, women, old and young, shivering in the scorching sun.

Marquis Xuanping stood in the middle, supporting the city wall with both arms and shouted: "Shen Zhao! You claim to be a soldier of benevolence and righteousness, I will give you a choice today. Your sister Shen Yu killed my son, and my other son also Because of her death, you let her come to see me, she is willing to pay for it, and I will give up Luzhou!"

"Fuck your mother!" Chang Heng cursed: "You are worthy of seeing our princess. You are not even worthy of carrying shoes for the prince and princess."

Marquis Xuanping's eyes flashed, "Don't you care about the people? Then let me see if it is just empty talk. I will kill someone every hour. If Shen Yu is not here in two days, I will kill someone." Kill two in one hour, and double it in four days. There are many people in the city."

After saying this, Marquis Xuanping raised his knife and slashed, and the woman closest to him screamed and fell to the ground.

"This is the first one!" Xuan Pinghou said loudly.

"Pei Qing is a thief!" Chang Heng yelled through gritted teeth, "If you have the guts to fight me, how can you bully the weak?"

The row of common people still stood at the top of the city, and every hour Xuanping Hou ordered one to be killed.

As the sky grew dark, Shen Zhao hesitated while holding the battle report he had written.

Supposedly, battle reports must be sent to Weizhou every day, but if the current situation reaches Shen Yu's ears, she will definitely come according to her temperament. Shen Zhao does not want her to be in danger.

It's not that this battle cannot be fought, it's just that we have to think of a way to fight with the least loss. If Marquis Xuanping is really angered and he massacres in the city, they will lose their original intention of saving the country and the people.

The tent was stuffy and hot, and the curtains were wide open. Shen Zhao heard footsteps and looked up to see Xiao Chuan striding towards him.

When she saw his coarse clothes, Shen Zhao knew that Xiao Chuan had made up his mind.

Xiao Chuan's previously mentioned method of sneaking into the city to cooperate with others became their best choice at the moment.

Xiao Chuan, Dama Jin Dao, sat down in the tent and said, "General, let's enjoy some wine."

Without saying a word, Shen Zhao took out the wine bag and threw it over.

Xiao Chuan raised his head and took a big sip, stood up and said, "I'm leaving. I'll pick you up at the south gate at this time."

"Xiao Chuan!" Shen Zhao said, but he didn't know what to say next.

Xiao Chuan turned his back and waved his hands with a smile, "When I come back to celebrate, I have to ask the prince and princess to give me a salary increase. If I can't come back..."

He stopped and stopped smiling, "If you can't come back, you can't come back. If you can't come back, carve a monument for me and write, 'I have no regrets in this life and I will be a soldier in the next life.'"
