Chapter 298 Borrowing troops
In March, there are grass, leaves, green birds and flowers everywhere in Lingnan. On the third day of March, the weather is sunny, windy and beautiful, which is a good day for spring out in the suburbs.
However, at this time, no one in Jingwang's mansion had such leisure to think about how to celebrate the festival. Because after waiting uneasily and trembling for half a year, the eldest prince in the south finally turned his head to fight against the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, there has been bad news in Jingrui Hall these days. The Prince Jing, who has been in bed for more than half a year, seems to be really going to die this time. For a while, people's hearts fluctuated in Jingwang's mansion, and everyone gradually began to feel uneasy.
However, in Jingruitang at this time, although the skinny King Jing seemed to be dying, he still survived.
This time, he slept for five days before he woke up, making Jiang Ting, who had been worried for five days, couldn't help sighing in her heart: What a thousand years of scourge! It's all like this and he's not dead. It can't be said that his life is too strong!
Although Jiang Ting doesn't want King Jing to die at this time. But she really couldn't stand his tossing back and forth. She was originally burdened with preparing medicine for the army; people in the house were different and there were always some big and small troubles that bothered her; and she had been worried about the situation of Liu Yao and others in Yunwu City...
In the past half a year, in order to make Liu Yao and others prepare for the war without worries, she has lost a lot of weight and is almost skinny. And King Jing had to "die" from time to time, so that she had to pay more attention to the situation here. Jiang Ting felt that she was so tired that she was about to die from overwork.
However, King Jing's survival naturally depends on the skill of the old magic doctor. Because of Sai Hua Tuo's follow-up, he was hanged in several dangerous situations in a row. But on the other hand, if it hadn't been for King Jing's strong sense of business, even if there was an old magic doctor, he would have died many times. This time, even the magic doctor felt that it was a miracle that he could wake up.
Therefore, although Jiang Ting is very depressed about his "nearly death" state from time to time. But in her heart, she still has some admiration for King Jing. This person is quite courageous to endure such pain and choose to live.
"How's the situation in the south?"
Every time he escapes from death, the first sentence King Jing asked was this. Jiang Ting had already prepared the answer and replied to him, "It's all right. Father, don't worry about it."
King Jing's eyes turned to Jiang Ting and asked, "What about southern Xinjiang?"
Jiang Ting subconsciously flashed his eyes and replied, "The eldest prince is still fighting with Miao people. Father, you just woke up. You don't have to work too hard. You'd better go to bed early. I'll call the magic doctor to show you."
"Don't call him." King Jing moved his head slightly and shook his head: "To tell the truth."
Jiang Ting frowned and no longer concealed: "The eldest prince formed an alliance with the Miao people after taking half of the southern territory. Now, he began to turn around and hit us. But father, don't worry too much. Now we have more than 100,000 soldiers. The outcome of the two sides is still unknown.
"I remember you said last month that your father wrote that he had become the general of Zhenxi and would stay at the northwest border, right?"
When did she say that? Although the news is true and cannot be regarded as a secret, she has never told King Jing. She arranged the servants who took care of him in Jingruitang and should not spread any information to him. So is the person who will tell him this the old doctor? Yes, she can seal other people's mouths, but she can't seal the old gentleman.
"Yes, why does my father ask this?" Jiang Ting asked puzzled.
"Borrow troops." King Jing stared straight at Jiang Ting: "You write on my behalf and ask your father to borrow troops to help Lingnan."
"Borrow a soldier?" Jiang Ting was shocked by his words: "How to borrow it?"
How dare Dad lend troops to Lingnan without the emperor's imperial edict? Besides, there is no shortage of troops in Lingnan border defense now! Can't more than 100,000 soldiers stop the enemy who have been fighting for more than half a year and have lost nearly half of them?
"It won't take long." As if he saw Jiang Ting's doubts, King Jing said bluntly, "With those soldiers put together, it is impossible to win the Southern Defense Army. Not to mention winning, it won't take long. If there are two more years for Xiaowu to train soldiers, they may still have some chances to win against the eldest prince and the protector. But now, a cough..."
With that, Jing Wang's voice suddenly hoarse, followed by a painful low cough, and then there was a trace of blood on the corners of his mouth with the cough.
Jiang Ting was shocked, got up quickly and ran out. She has to call a magic doctor to save people. Just halfway through the big event, she can't let people die like this!
When Jiang Ting dragged Sai Hua Tuo in, King Jing was already very angry. After diagnosing the pulse, the old magic doctor treated and rescued him, and finally pulled back King Jing's tone.
However, this time, the old doctor did not have the color of relaxation as before, but his face was as heavy as water. He said to King Jing, "Next time, I'm afraid I can't save you."
King Jing nodded slowly and said, "I know. Thank you very much."
"Do you need me to cheer you up? However, you will die a few days earlier." The old magic doctor paused and asked.
King Jing's eyes lit up and nodded, "I would be grateful if you could get me up."
"It's impossible to get up and walk down. But it can restore you some strength to write and write. The old magic doctor got up and said, "Let's talk about it first. I'll prepare the medicine."
Jiang Ting looked at the back of the old magic doctor in a complicated mood, and her heart seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton. Although she hasn't been very happy with her father-in-law these days. But now that he is really going to die, there is still a sadness in her heart.
Human beings always seem so vulnerable in the face of death. Whether it is dying or living in the future.
"The king seal is in your hand." After the old magic doctor left, King Jing said to Jiang Ting, "You need to use Wang Yin to borrow soldiers. Go and get it."
Jiang Ting took a deep breath to calm down and couldn't help asking, "With your letter, can my father lend soldiers and horses to Lingnan?" Even if he borrows it, if the emperor pursues it..."
"Are you worried that your father will be killed?" King Jing's eyes were full of indescribable contempt: "You are too petting your father. The reason why your father asked to be stationed in the northwest at this time is to facilitate the dispatch of troops to assist Lingnan. Lingnan is the territory of the vassal king, and now it is the pass of the Southern Tang Dynasty. With my king seal as a test, of course, I can borrow troops from him for help. Even if the emperor wants to pursue him, there is no reason to prosecute him. After all, he sent troops to protect the world of the Liu family!"
"However, the sons..." Jiang Ting was still a little hesitant.
"Well, when they decide, the yellow cauliflower will be cold." King Jing snorted coldly and closed his eyes: "Don't delay, go get Wang Yin here. Stupid! I'm dying. Do I still need to seek power and profit?
"...Okay, I'll listen to you, borrow soldiers!" After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ting gritted her teeth with red eyes.
