Chapter 1795: How Good Are Your Sister’s Medical Skills?
General Liu felt that this person named Chen Ermei was knowledgeable and her thoughts ran deep. If she were a man, she would definitely enter the court in the future.
But as a woman in this world dominated by men, she couldn’t change anything using her own power. In the end, it was a waste of talent.
Chen Li also sighed. He was a man, but he didn’t have the brains of his sister.
“Your sister knows medicine. I heard that she saved Fang Yong. How good are your sister’s medical skills?” asked General Liu.
Chen Li said, “I don’t know. She just reads medical books by herself.”
General Liu’s expression was a little speechless. Could medical skills be gained just by reading books? He waved at Chen Li. “Dismissed.”
Chen Li cupped his hands and returned to the camp. When he saw Ning Shu checking the medicinal herbs, he walked over and asked, “Where did these medicinal herbs come from?”
Ning Shu said without raising her head, “Fang Yong sent them over, saying that it was for repaying his life-saving grace.”
Who would have thought that Fang Yong had found so many good things?
“I thought you were angry with Fang Yong and wouldn’t save him.” Chen Li said, “After all, there was that whole drama in the village.”
Chen Li didn’t like Fang Yong. After all, what Bai Yiqiao did was truly malicious.
“When we attacked the city last time, he blocked an arrow for me. A life for a life,” said Ning Shu indifferently. Although there was some hostility between them, it wasn’t like she would just let the man die.
In addition, if they had internal strife, she was afraid that General Liu would not let them off. There would be no way for them to work with any other troops.
Interpersonal relationships were so complicated.
Chen Li nodded. “You’re so broad-minded. No wonder General Liu praised you.”
Ning Shu just curled up the corner of her mouth. She was calm and tranquil.
After obtaining these medicinal materials, she prepared some necessary medicines for the army, including ones for dysentery, heatstroke, and various other minor problems.
Ever since Ning Shu rescued Fang Yong, knowing that she knew medical skills, people came to her for medicine almost every day. Of course, it was free. They would occasionally give some money or some weird playthings, but Ning Shu accepted them all.
She gave Chen Li two bottles of specially made medicine; it could quickly stop bleeding. Ning Shu asked Chen Li to offer it to General Liu so that they could brush up their reputation in front of General Liu.
As long as you had some value, you could stay in this army.
When there was nothing to do, Ning Shu would go with Chen Li to attack the surrounding towns. Chen Li now had around three hundred people under him. With Ning Shu by his side, he acted with more and more poise.
Every time they attacked a place, they would persuade them to surrender first, capturing the towns and villages with the smallest loss. Upon meeting resistance, they would have to use force.
Every time they went back to the camp, they were covered in blood.
More and more people in the troop had practiced enough to generate a strand of cultivation energy in their bodies. The troop was getting stronger and stronger. They didn’t care about their numbers, only that each one of them was the cream of the crop. Every single of them was a match for ten other men.
Besides, General Liu, in order to ensure his power and keep others in check, would not allow a leader to control more than five hundred soldiers.
General Liu used Dazhou’s resources to make armors and weapons and rear war horses. Only then would his combat effectiveness increase.
On the whole, the towns and villages that were captured near Dazhou acquiesced to the rule of General Liu. They ignored the court and only recognized General Liu. After all, anyone who refused to accept it would be wiped out.
Of course, in order to buy people’s hearts, there would be various preferential treatments. For example, no taxes were collected. If the army needed money, they would plunder it from corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen.
When the opportunity presented itself, General Liu took nearly one hundred thousand people to attack the big city next to Dazhou and slowly expanded his land.
