For Yao Tao, his boss has changed too fast. A few months ago, it was Xue Zhao and Emperor Xian, but yesterday it became Zhao Lun and Xiao Yi. Today, Pei Linzhi came to him with Zhao Lun's head in his hand, Do you follow Xiao Yu, or do you follow Xiao Yi?

Even though he has been an official for many years and has seen too many ups and downs in the officialdom, it is the first time he has been personally involved in the turbulent waves of a coup.He wiped the rain-like sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "Little Grandpa, I have seniors and juniors, aren't you forcing me?"

Pei Linzhi looked at him coldly: "Lord Yao, Xiao Yi is the one who will not give my Highness a way to live. We have to take this way to survive. If you are willing to follow our lord, you can continue to be your Zhuguan county magistrate. If you don't want to follow, then go with your family and hide your name. Don't blame me for not reminding you, Zhao Lun died as soon as he arrived in Yazhou, but you are safe and sound, do you think Xiao Yi will not hold you accountable?"

Yao Tao was facing the most difficult decision in his life, to be loyal to Xiao Yu, if he failed, he would die, and to be loyal to Xiao Yi, in the current situation, he would most likely end up dead.

Pei Linzhi saw his hesitation, and persuaded him: "Master Yao, why are you so entangled? Isn't my highness surnamed Xiao? His mother is a righteous queen, and his grandfather is a highly respected general. My highness is not as violent as patricide." Brother's Xiao Yi is much stronger? He treats his blood relatives like this, let alone his subordinates? You have to think carefully."

Yao Tao clenched his fists and his mind was running fast. He hadn't seen Xiao Yu very much, but he had heard Xue Zhao mention it more than once that Xiao Yu was not in the pond.

Building water conservancy, raising pearls, and raising orphans and widows are all good things for the people.If Xiao Yu really became the emperor, he would definitely be a good monarch who is kind and caring for the people. Now that this opportunity is in front of him, should he follow?

Yao Tao said: "We in Yazhou are poor, we have no money and no soldiers. If the imperial court sends soldiers, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist it." This is what he is most worried about. Too weak, confronting the imperial court is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

Pei Linzhi said: "Lord Yao don't have to worry about this. King Liang is currently in Liangzhou to contain the imperial court. The imperial court can only send troops from Guangzhou. Yazhou can still be defended. We have a way to solve the problem of soldiers, money and food. Lord Yao After analyzing the stakes clearly, a shortsighted person like Xiao Yi has Rouran in the north, Errong in the east and west, Tuyuhun and Dangxiang in the west, and countless foreign wolves are watching. He doesn't think about safety and provokes civil strife. Do you think Anguo can survive? How long? In the future, the Hu people will ride horses in the Central Plains and slaughter the people of Anguo, and who else can save the common people in this world, except my Highness?"

Yao Tao hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth, lifted his clothes, knelt down and worshiped: "The lives of Yao's family are all entrusted to His Highness and Young Master, and I will follow His Highness and Young Master to the death. I hope that you will work hard and bring peace soon The world, let the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Pei Linzhi helped him up: "My lord Yao, please get up quickly, my Highness will definitely live up to what you have entrusted, and will eventually bring peace to the country and the people, and peace to the world."

Yao Tao asked: "Do you want to clear the Governor's Mansion now and welcome His Highness back?"

Pei Linzhi said: "I will discuss this matter with His Royal Highness when I go back. Quickly count a team of people for me, and first control Zhao Lun's relatives. Before we completely control Yazhou, this matter must not be leaked." .”

Yao Tao cupped his hands: "Your official understands."

Pei Linzhi said again: "You can arrange another car and horse to pick up Dr. Ye and his disciples at Huichun Hall, and send them to Baisha Village, bringing enough herbs for trauma."

"Your Majesty, let's make arrangements."

Until everyone finished cleaning the battlefield, eradicated the blood stains and sprinkled them with lime, Xiao Yu couldn't calm down.

And I am afraid that it will not be possible to recover for a long time. He has been helping those injured to treat the wounds, stop the bleeding, disinfect with alcohol, and bandage the wounds.

Seeing the bloody wounds, hearing the painful groans of the wounded, Xiao Yu was tormented by a strong sense of guilt and pain. These people originally came to him to earn a living, but who knew they would have to pay such a heavy price.How would he explain to their family members?

When A Ping had a fever last time, he distilled some alcohol for backup. He didn't expect to use it up so soon, and it wasn't enough. He hurriedly arranged for the wife at home to distill the alcohol already at home.

Dr. Ye and his disciples finally came, and Sigui and Changsheng also came back. Seeing so many injuries, except for Sigui and Changsheng, the rest of them were very calm because it was not the first time they had seen each other.

Doctor Ye calmly instructed his disciples to treat the wounds, stop bleeding, apply medicine, and some even set bones.

Due to the lack of Mafeisan, the process of treatment can be described as a human tragedy.

There was a young man from Thang Long Bay whose tendons on the right wrist were cut by a knife wound, leaving only a little sticky part. In this case, if one is not careful, the tendons in the right hand will be completely broken, and the hand will be almost useless in the future.

Dr. Ye shook his head and sighed in response to this situation: "From now on, I can't lift heavy objects. If they are all broken, this hand will be completely disabled."

Xiao Yu looked at the young man who was only 20 years old and knew that he still had a long way to go in life. If his right hand was disabled, it would affect his whole life. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll sew it up for you. Ji Hai, go Find the fish to get silk and needles."

Silk is composed of protein molecules, can dissolve in the human body, and does not need to be removed after suturing. It is the best suture material available today.

Xiao Yu threaded the silk and needles that Ji Hai had brought, soaked them in alcohol for disinfection, and called Lai Sigui and Ji Hai to help.

They used alcohol-sterilized tweezers to clamp the two ends of the patient's tesuji, and then sewed them together with silk.

The tweezers are tweezers for bead implantation. I didn't expect it to be used on this occasion today.

After suturing the Tejin, Xiao Yu also sewed up the patient's outer skin.

During this process, the patient was in so much pain that he couldn't help himself, but knowing that Xiao Yu was doing it for his own good, he still didn't resist.

Xiao Yu looked at the crooked stitches, which were very ugly, and said, "I'm not good at needlework, so I need to practice more in the future. Sigui and Changsheng need to practice how to sew more in the future, otherwise the wound will be too ugly."

Meng Sigui looked at Xiao Yu: "Is this really useful, sir?" It was the first time he saw that healing a disease could be like sewing clothes.

Xiao Yu said: "Of course it is useful. Suture surgery is a branch of medicine. You should study hard in the future." He disinfected the patient's sutured wound with alcohol, and then wrapped the wound with silk cloth.

Xiao Yu said: "Whoever has a bigger wound, you can also try to suture it, so that it will heal faster."

In fact, suturing operations were not uncommon in ancient times. In the era of cold weapons, most of the wounds caused by swords needed to be sutured. It's just that Dr. Ye's level is limited and he has never done this kind of surgery.

Xiao Yu then performed suturing operations on several patients with relatively large wounds. Once the wounds were sutured, the bleeding speed was significantly reduced, so that the patients would not become comatose or even die due to excessive blood loss.

Not only their own injuries were treated, Xiao Yu also asked Dr. Ye to treat the injured prisoners.

How to deal with these prisoners is still a problem, but there is always a way, no matter how bad it is, these young and strong people can always do coolies.

When it was getting dark, Pei Linzhi finally came back, he brought back the news Xiao Yu needed, and Yao Tao agreed to follow them.

Pei Linzhi said: "Next, we need to contact Zhulu County Magistrate to see what his choice is."

Xiao Yu knew that they needed to control the entire Yazhou Island, not the city of Yazhou, otherwise they would not be able to live a peaceful life with the enemy on their backs.

Xiao Yu asked: "We have never had contact with Zhulu County Magistrate, how can we instigate rebellion?"

Pei Linzhi said: "I asked Yao Tao to order Tang Jingyun, the county magistrate of Zhulu, to report on his duties in the name of Zhao Lun. At that time, he will be controlled. If he is willing to submit, he will also be his county magistrate. If he does not obey, then Imprisoned."

Xiao Yu nodded, it is naturally best not to bleed.

In the evening, Xiao Yu held a meeting with Pei Linzhi, Lai Feng, Meng Hong, Ju Mo and others to discuss the next plan.

These captured prisoners were temporarily held in the Yazhou Prison, and they will be dealt with after the work is over.

Pei Linzhi and Guan Shan still went to deal with the affairs of Zhulu County.

Ju Mo took people back to the village, built a few more stoves, and expanded the scale of iron smelting. Now not only weapons, but also armor are needed.

Today's battle was too tragic. Flesh and blood were too vulnerable to a sword. They could no longer be so passive.

There were not enough blacksmiths, so all the blacksmiths in Yazhou were gathered to do it together.

Xiao Yu personally took care of the casualties. Each family of the deceased had to pay enough money to take care of their families, and the injured had to be arranged one by one.

There is still a conscription, the current force is too small, it is best to use each village or a few villages as a unit, farming, fishing and hunting when busy, and training when free.It can be directly transferred when the troops are used.

Taxes are reduced for the common people, and iron farm tools are distributed to each family. There is no need to pay pearls and poll taxes, and only grain is collected according to the acre of land to ensure the supply of the army.

More detailed work has to be done after controlling the entire Yazhou.

Everyone was in high spirits and discussed until very late before going to bed.

Too many things happened today, Xiao Yu had a splitting headache and lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Pei Linzhi asked: "Your Majesty is uneasy?"

Xiao Yu said, "A little dizzy."

"It must have been frightened, I'll rub it for you." Pei Linzhi sat up while speaking, he picked up Aping who was in the middle, and put him on the other side of the bed to sleep well.

Pei Linzhi lifted Xiao Yu up and pillowed him on his lap, and gently pressed his temples with his hands. Xiao Yu closed his eyes and said, "Am I too useless?"

"Why did you say that? If you are useless, who else in this world can be called useful?"

Xiao Yu smiled wryly: "When I close my eyes, I can see the tragic death of those people. There are broken arms and limbs and bloody wounds everywhere. I dragged everyone down."

Pei Linzhi said seriously: "Your Majesty did not do anything wrong. You just want everyone to live a better life. Today, if you are obediently arrested and drank the poisonous wine, what do you think we who follow you can do?" A good end? If you rebel, we are accomplices, so naturally we cannot escape death. When we save you, we also save ourselves."

Xiao Yu was silent, it was true.
