God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Nurgu frowned and sat in the main seat in the tent, discussing the current urgent situation with the generals around him with serious expressions.

He had a gloomy face and a gleam of anger in his eyes. He said fiercely, "We were full of confidence in this attack and thought victory was in our pockets. Who would have thought that we would suffer such a tragic defeat! Now that the eldest prince has been captured, the situation is simply terrible! What should we do?"

At this time, a general trembled and said, "General, calm down! This defeat is really due to the Chu army's too stubborn resistance. We did underestimate the enemy before..."

Before the general could finish his words, Nurgu slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table almost fell over.

His eyes widened with anger, and he shouted loudly: "Underestimating the enemy? How can this be an excuse for failure! Besides, I clearly received news that the enemy army has been infected with the plague. According to common sense, their combat effectiveness should have been greatly reduced. Why can they continue to fight now?"

Another general quickly bowed and replied: "General, I'm afraid only Sahabel knows the reason behind this matter."

When Nurgu heard this, he immediately ordered, "Come here! Summon Sahabel to see me!"

Not long after, Sahabel hurried into the tent.

As soon as he saw Nurgu, he bowed and said, "I am Sahabel, the humble one, to the general."

Nurgu asked bluntly: "Sahabel, you promised me that the plague would spread quickly and make the enemy lose their fighting power. But now, how come they still have the strength to fight again?"

Sahabel said to the general with a serious expression: "General, maybe there is a man with extremely excellent medical skills in the enemy army who can cure this plague!"

Nurgu frowned, his eyes sharp as an eagle. He asked in a deep voice: "So, do you have any other means such as poison that you can use now?"

Sahabel looked embarrassed, shook his head and replied: "General, I really don't have any more. The poisons I used before were given to me by my master, and now they are all used up."

Nurgu nodded slightly to show that he understood, then waved his hand and said, "In that case, you can leave first. I need to think carefully about how to deal with it."

Sahabel responded respectfully, "Then I'll take my leave first." Then he turned and left.

At this time, another general in the tent couldn't help but ask: "General, now that things have come to this, what should we do?"

Nurgu folded his arms across his chest and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

After a while, he slowly raised his head and said in a firm tone: "No matter how difficult the situation is, we must come up with an effective countermeasure as soon as possible to rescue the eldest prince! Otherwise, we will not be able to report to the emperor at all!"

Just as everyone was looking at each other and thinking hard, another general made a suggestion: "General, how about we send some smart and capable spies to sneak into the Chu army camp, secretly find out their information, and then find the right time to take action?"

However, Nurgu shook his head decisively and rejected it: "I'm afraid this plan is not appropriate. The Chu army is currently well-defended and on high alert. It would be extremely difficult for our spies to successfully infiltrate them. If we are not careful, we will alert the enemy and lose more than we gain."

Hearing this, the general couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Then, another general said tentatively: "General, in my opinion, why don't we just report this matter to the emperor and ask the emperor to make the decision?"

For a moment, the entire tent was shrouded in a suffocating silence.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one took the initiative to break the depressing atmosphere.

A long time passed like this, and Nurgu finally slowly stood up from his seat.

His broad face looked particularly solemn at the moment, and his deep eyes scanned everyone present. He then said in a deep voice, "As far as the current situation is concerned, the best strategy we can take is to stay put for the time being, strengthen the defense of the camp with all our strength, and wait for the right opportunity to come. At the same time, we need to immediately write a secret letter to the emperor, asking him to make the final decision on this matter."

At this time, a guard beside Nurgu suddenly stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, then said: "General, in my opinion, we might as well send a letter to Zhao Si and ask him to secretly investigate the situation of the eldest prince. In this way, we may be able to obtain more useful intelligence, which will help us in the subsequent deployment of actions."

Nurgu nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Well, this is a great idea! I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must act cautiously and not let any news leak out."

The guard quickly bowed and responded: "Yes, I will follow the general's orders and will fulfill my mission!" After that, he turned around and hurried away to carry out his mission.

After the guards left, Nurgu once again looked around at the generals in the tent and said slowly, "Okay, everyone please leave for now. Let me calm down and carefully consider the next response strategy."

Upon hearing this, the generals responded in unison and then filed out of the tent.

As the last person walked out of the tent, the originally noisy tent instantly returned to calm, leaving only Nurgu sitting alone in front of the table, frowning, thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy...

On the Chu army side, Jun Moyuan, Lu Tingyan and others were also discussing the next strategy.

Jun Moyuan said solemnly: "Although we have successfully repelled the Liang army in this battle, given their usual style of action, they will definitely not give up and will definitely wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

Lu Tingyan, who was standing nearby, nodded slightly in agreement, and then said, "Your Highness is right. We must seize this rare opportunity to take a breather and allow the soldiers to fully rest. Fortunately, the plague that has been ravaging the army has been basically brought under control, which undoubtedly increases the chances of winning the subsequent battles."

Mu Yanyu took over the conversation and added: "However, we still need to be vigilant against spies sent by the Liang army to infiltrate our camp, and we must also be alert to the sudden attacks they may launch."

Everyone knows that the war is not over yet and more difficult tests are lurking behind.

At this moment, a soldier with a hurried look came running over, knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Highness, Hu Yanlie has woken up and is making a lot of noise in the cell. He insists on meeting with our generals."

Upon hearing this, Jun Moyuan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer, and said in a deep voice: "Oh? Then I will go meet this eldest prince Hu Yanlie and see what his intentions are."

After saying that, he led everyone to the tent where Hu Yanlie was imprisoned.

After entering the tent, I saw Hu Yanlie tied up on a wooden pillar. Although he was imprisoned, his eyes were still as sharp as a knife, and he glared at the newcomers with anger.

When his eyes met Jun Moyuan's, he did not hide his hostility at all and shouted angrily: "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you! This prince would rather die than surrender!"

Facing Hu Yanlie's tough attitude, Jun Moyuan seemed unusually calm. He slowly approached him and said in a calm tone, "Prince Hu Yanlie, why are you so stubborn? As long as you are willing to surrender to me, I can show mercy and spare your life."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanlie suddenly spat and replied with contempt: "Don't even think about it! Who are you? How do you know my identity?"

Jun Moyuan smiled slightly and replied mysteriously: "I naturally have my own ways to obtain this information."

After hearing this, Hu Yanlie snorted coldly, turned his head away and said nothing more.
