After Li Shimin arrived at Youzhou Province, he immediately ordered the Youzhou Province to start collecting salt in large quantities.
Then, he personally led tens of thousands of soldiers and rushed to the north of the desert.
The depths of the desert north were already covered in snow.
A thick layer of ice formed on the ground.
Your Majesty, with such a heavy snowstorm, I'm afraid General Li Jing and the others…"
The commandant of Youzhou glanced at the white snowland and swallowed his words halfway.
Li Shi Min gazed into the depths of the snowland with a determined look on his face.
"If you're alive, I want to see you. If you're dead, I want to see your corpse.”
"Yes."
Following Li Shi Min's voice, tens of thousands of soldiers took out the salt they carried on their horses and began to sprinkle it on the ice.
Li Shi Min got off his horse and stood at the edge, staring at the snow and ice on the ground.
After the salt was sprinkled, the ice and snow began to melt quickly.
"It really works. Lin Han didn't lie to me.”
Seeing the ice melting quickly, Li Shi Min was delighted.
"Speed up, Commandant Wang," he shouted,"go to Youzhou immediately and ask the people of Youzhou to come and help."”
Saving people was like putting out a fire.
The earlier they arrived, the earlier they could save Li Jing and the others.
"Yes."
Commandant Wang immediately rode back to Youzhou.
Li Shimin was not idle either. He took the next batch of salt from the horse and sprinkled it with the soldiers.
Soon, a path leading to the depths of the desert north gradually appeared.
On a wide ground deep in the north of the desert, a dozen small hills protruded out.
It looks like a small hill in the distance.
However, upon closer inspection, he realized that these hills were filled with people.
They were all huddled together, trying to keep each other warm.
Beside them were the corpses of warhorses.
In order to survive, Li Jing ordered all the warhorses to be killed to satisfy their hunger and used their skins to keep warm.
"General, it looks like we won't be able to survive.”
A soldier curled up beside Li Jing said with a trembling voice.
Although they used the horse hide to keep warm, the long period of cold weather gradually made them lose consciousness.
"Don't give up. I believe that His Majesty will definitely send someone to save us.”
Li Jing raised his head and looked in the direction of Youzhou.
Actually, he had already given up hope.
In such a blizzard, no one or warhorses could enter, so how could Li Shi Min come to save them?
Several days passed quickly.
The meat of the warhorses was gradually eaten up, and many soldiers slowly fell into the snow because they were too hungry.
Li Jing raised his head and looked at Youzhou again.
He found that his vision was gradually blurring. He seemed to see someone walking towards them.
He wanted to see it clearly, but in the end, he still fell into the snow.
On the snowy plains, Li Shi Min wore a thick cotton jacket and was constantly delivering salt to the soldiers in front of him.
"Your Majesty, let us do it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. You must take care of your dragon body.”
Several generals tried to snatch the bag of salt from Li Shimin.
"I want to save Medicine Master. Don't stop me."”
Seeing this, the generals knew that Li Shi Min was possessed.
He did not stop them, but his hands moved much faster.
"Your Majesty, we found General Li Jing and the others.”
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded.
Hearing the voice, Li Shi Min quickly put down the bag of salt and ran forward.
"Where is it?"
The soldier pointed into the distance and said,""Where is it? Look, that's the flag of our Great Tang.”
In the distant snowfield, a flag was standing in the snow.
Although it was covered in ice and snow, one could still vaguely recognize that it was the Tang army flag.
"Quick, save him."
Li Shi Min shouted and rushed over.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
Everyone hurriedly shouted.
However, Li Shi Min didn't care at all. He rushed over and threw out the soldiers who were buried in the snow.
Seeing this, the soldiers and commoners behind him also rushed over.
Li Shi Min tossed in the snow for a while and soon saw a familiar face.
"Apothecary, wake up. Zhen is here to save you.”
Li Shi Min shouted at Li Jing.
"Your Majesty, let me take a look." A military doctor quickly came over and said.”
Li Shi Min quickly stepped aside.
The military doctor touched Li Jing's neck and tested his breath. Then, he said happily,""Your Majesty, General Li is still breathing. He should not be dead.”
"Your Majesty, these soldiers are still warm. They should not be dead yet.”
"Quick, save them."
Li Shi Min was so excited that tears were already streaming down his face.
He had already given up hope.
However, when he heard that everyone was still warm, he was extremely excited.
"Lin Han, I have to thank you properly. If it weren't for you, my apothecary and tens of thousands of soldiers would have frozen to death.”
At this moment, Li Shi Min had already regarded Lin Han as a god.
If it weren't for Lin Han, he could only accept his fate in this weather.
After rescuing Li Jing and the tens of thousands of soldiers, Li Shi Min brought them back to Youzhou.
Out of the tens of thousands of soldiers, one-third of them had already died.
However, Li Shi Min still insisted on bringing them back.
In Li Shiming's heart, they were heroes of the Great Tang, and he did not want their corpses to remain in a foreign land.
He wanted to bring them home.
