Chapter 1454 Mr. Liu passed out again
After the failure of the Japanese suppression, Magistrate Liu was so furious that he fainted for three hours. No matter how Xu Qianhuhu and others pinched him or screamed, they did not wake him up. Finally, Invited well-known local The old doctor woke up faintly after using acupuncture, herbal fumigation and other methods. His eyes were empty and lifeless, and he stared blankly at the people around him. It took him a while to recall what happened. Then he sighed heavily.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, you have finally woken up. The junior generals/minor generals are worried. How do you feel now?" Xu Qianhu and others rushed around to greet the old doctor and asked him again. Taking the pulse and asking for diagnosis, "Mr. Zhang, please see how Mr. Liu is doing."
Old Doctor Zhang came forward with the medicine box, ready to take the pulse again and check the physical condition of Magistrate Liu.
“Hey, no need, old gentleman, you don’t need to look at it. I know my own body best. This time I suppressed the Japanese, I lost many soldiers and generals, and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, I was defeated and the Japanese pirates were gone. This is what I said. Urgent fire attacks the heart"
Magistrate Liu waved his hand to reject their kindness, sighed heavily again, and said quietly.
Zhifu Liu was speaking from his heart. This time he and Xu Qianhu mobilized heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates, and handed in a zero-score answer sheet, no, a negative score answer sheet.
On this trip to suppress the Japanese, he mobilized more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and Xu Qianhu also mobilized more than a thousand soldiers and horses. In addition, he recruited 800 reinforcements later, and the two of them had a total of Three thousand soldiers and horses were mobilized to encircle and suppress 150 Japanese pirates.
With such a large number of troops and a heavy army to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates, it should have been foolproof, but the result was that people vomited blood. During the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese pirates, more than 600 of them died, and there were countless minor and serious injuries. However, the Japanese pirates escaped without any damage.
This time the encirclement and suppression turned into a complete joke.
I originally wanted to take the credit for suppressing the Japanese, but I didn't expect that not only would I not get any merit, but I might be punished for not doing enough to suppress the Japanese.
So, after hearing the news that the Japanese pirates crossed the river on rafts and sailed away, Magistrate Liu was so anxious that he fainted.
After Magistrate Liu sighed, Xu Qianhu couldn't help but show an expression as if he were mourning for his heir.
Prefect Liu is furious, and so is Xu Qianhu. They are in exactly the same situation, both of them are in danger of being punished if they fail to take credit. They are standard brothers in distress, but as a military general, he is physically His endurance was stronger than that of Magistrate Liu. Although he was also furious, he did not faint.
“Hey, Xu Qianhu, how is the situation now?”
Magistrate Liu was supported by his subordinates, sat up on the bed, leaned on a pillow, and asked Xu Qianhu.
“My lord, it was late last night and the terrain on the other side was complicated. I was worried about being taken advantage of by the Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates set up an ambush, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, I ordered the troops to stay put and stay on guard. In front of a stick of incense, At the end of the day, when the sky was getting light, He Baihu and 300 elite troops were sent to cross the river to explore the traces of the Japanese pirates. "
Xu Qianhu came forward to report, somewhat worried that Magistrate Liu would blame him for not moving forward because of fear of the Japanese. Delay the fighter opportunity.
Hearing this, Magistrate Liu nodded and said softly, "Xu Qianhu's arrangement is very safe, very safe."
Governor Liu has deeply understood this group of people. The Japanese pirates have become so ferocious that with the strength of the troops at hand, they have given up hope of annihilating the Japanese pirates and do not even dare to think about it. The only thing they can think about now is to reduce losses, not seeking merit, but asking not to do it again.
Xu Qianhu's arrangement is naturally a waste of opportunity and failure to suppress the Japanese, but there will be no further losses. It is dangerous at night and I will not send troops. Even if the Japanese invaders set up an ambush, I will not fall into the Japanese ambush, and naturally there will be no losses. , wait until dawn before sending people to check for traces of Japanese pirates. The purpose of landing was to rob wealth, and they all committed crimes on the run. After robbing one place, they would change places and they would not stay in the same place. The Japanese pirates would have run away long ago at dawn. It would be useless to check for traces of the Japanese pirates at this time. If there is any danger, it is safe to do so.
Xu Qianhu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, drink ginseng tea to moisten your throat and replenish your qi and blood." A subordinate thoughtfully brought a cup of ginseng tea and handed it to Magistrate Liu.
"Thank you." Magistrate Liu thanked him, took the ginseng tea, and was about to drink it. The subordinate's cup of ginseng tea came just in time. He had been unconscious for a long time and was feeling thirsty at the moment. He wanted to drink a cup. Ginseng tea is very suitable.
However, just as Magistrate Liu brought the ginseng tea to his lips, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
"Report!" A long and short voice appeared outside the tent.
"Come in!" Magistrate Liu temporarily stopped drinking tea, raised his head and called out to the person outside the tent to come in.
The people outside the tent were let in, and it was He Baihu who was sent by Xu Qianhu to lead a team to detect the traces of Japanese pirates.
"He Baihu, didn't you lead a team to detect the traces of Japanese pirates? Why did you return so quickly? But you were ambushed by Japanese pirates?!"
He Qianhu hurriedly stepped forward and asked He said, worried about whether there had been an accident on the way or whether he had been ambushed by Japanese pirates.
After listening to Xu Qianhu's words, Magistrate Liu suddenly became nervous when he learned that the He Baihu in front of him was the general who was sent to investigate the traces of Japanese pirates.
"Returning to the magistrate, Mr. Qianhu, the last general has not encountered an ambush by Japanese pirates." He Baihu replied with clasped fists.
When Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God, it was good that there was no ambush by Japanese pirates.
"Then you have discovered the place where the Japanese pirates settled?" Xu Qianhu asked again.
He Baihu shook his head.
"Then what are you doing back so soon?" Xu Qianhu glared at He Baihu and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"I will report something important at the end." He Baihu said with fists in his hands.
“First, we didn’t get caught in the ambush by the Japanese pirates, and second, we didn’t find any trace of the Japanese pirates. What else do you have to report?”
Xu Qianhu said disapprovingly, seriously doubting that He Baihu was afraid of encountering him. The Japanese pirates found an excuse to come back.
"Master Xu, please be patient. Do you have anything important to report to He Baihu?" Magistrate Liu waved his hand.
When he heard that there was no ambush by Japanese pirates and no trace of Japanese pirates had been detected, Magistrate Liu was not too worried.
“The humble post was ordered to lead a team to cross the river to detect traces of Japanese pirates. They walked four miles along the official road. At the turning point of the official road near Qiaotoubao Town, they found that the official road was filled with blood and corpses were strewn across the road. The humble post stepped forward to investigate and found "Discover" He Baihu paused at this point, with a look of fear remaining on his face.
“Damn Japanese pirates, killing my innocent people again!” Magistrate Liu couldn’t help but cursed when he heard this.
“Not common people.” He Baihu shook his head in panic.
“Not a commoner?! Who is that?” Magistrate Liu’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, I have carefully checked and found a stack of official documents at the scene. It is confirmed that those killed by the Japanese pirates were Qian Jing, Qian Yushi's family of seven, young and old, and their servants, as well as the escorting soldiers!"
He Baihu raised his head and reported, his face full of horror.
"What?! Mr. Qian, Censor?!" Upon hearing this, Magistrate Liu trembled as if he was struck by thunder, and with a bang, a cup of ginseng tea fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and then his whole body fell into pieces again. Fainted.
"Master Liu, Master Liu, Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhang, hurry up, Master Liu has passed out again"
There was a panic in the camp. (End of chapter)
