This battle, which involved more than ten field battles and three days of siege, broke the formation and drove the enemy northward, lasted more than twenty days, and finally came to an end.
The civilians were rushing home to grab grain, and the soldiers were tired and looking forward to receiving rewards, but there was some noise and gossip among the military lieutenants and generals.
Gao Manzheng, the general manager of Shuozhou, stopped at the entrance of an alley and looked inside. A young man among the guards behind him moved forward and said angrily: "Such a house!"
Gao Manzheng got off his horse with an expressionless expression and strode into the alley. The young man followed closely behind him. He was Gao Xuanji, the eldest son of Gao Manzheng.
The screams suddenly sounded, and Gao Xuanji, who was close at hand, was so frightened that his hair stood on end. Gao Manzheng stopped and opened the door. He saw the guards pressing the wounded man to the door panel. Li Shan commanded one person to hold a long knife and pull the wounded man to the door. The wounded man's arm was chopped off.
The blood flowed like a gush and immediately stained the hem of his clothes, but Li Shan acted like lightning and stopped the bleeding first, and then asked someone to apply the prepared ointment and wrap it in linen.
"I heard that Li Langjun has the ability to heal the bones of the dead, but today I only saw his arm cut off with a knife."
Plain but obviously sarcastic words came from behind. Li Shan's ears twitched, but he didn't look back until he put the wounded in place and stood up.
"An arrow hit the upper arm, and the arrow is poisonous." Li Shan explained tiredly: "If the arm is broken, his life will not be saved."
This was something Li Shan didn't consider well, but it was also something he had no choice about. The so-called poison in the arrow... was actually a pollutant.
After setting up the wounded barracks, Li Shan worked here for five days, operating day and night... but the chance of tetanus attacks was much higher than in Shandong.
On the one hand, it is due to the season. Although it is past the Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature in Shuozhou is not low. On the other hand, many of the arrowheads used by the enemy are contaminated.
More importantly, the injured were not properly treated in the first time.
Within five days, Li Shan treated more than 300 wounded people, but more than 80 people could not be rescued. Most of them died of infection... although Li Shan had disinfected them with wine.
In this case, the helpless Li Shan could only choose to break his arm to survive... Even so, the injured person just now may not survive.
Gao Xuanji glanced at the wounded man on the door panel, vaguely remembered this person, and said disdainfully: "If his right arm is broken, it will be harder to ride a horse and shoot, and it will be even harder to hold a knife. So what if he survives?"
Li Shan didn't say anything. He still had a lot to do, so he had no time to talk to others.
What's more, Li Shan is very aware of Gao Manzheng's dissatisfaction with him.
On the one hand, this dissatisfaction comes from his large requirements for supplies, and on the other hand, it comes from the victory document.
Just this morning, Liu Shirang announced the victory document, and Gao Manzheng and Li Gaoqian both looked ugly.
Liu Shirang undoubtedly took the lead in this battle, while Gao Manzheng, Li Gaoqian, and Li Shan were probably in the second rank.
After all, the war took place in Mayi. Gao Manzheng could tolerate Liu Shirang, who was ordered by the emperor to manage Mayi, and Li Gaoqian, who had a large army stationed in Yanmen, but he may not be able to tolerate Li Shan alongside them.
In Gao Manzheng's view, Li Shan arrived in Mayi just after the war and occupied an entire alley, as well as a large amount of grain, grass and even meat. What qualifications did he have to be tied with him?
In fact, the Gao family's father and son's dissatisfaction with Li Shan went beyond that. On the one hand, they were trying to take credit, but on the other hand, they couldn't stand Li Shan's move to set up a wounded barracks.
For this kind of people who believe in swords, any poetry is astonishing and nothing is as good as shit. Setting up a wounded barracks is really a fantasy. Gao Manzheng went around and cured his illness with good food and drink?
Take out these supplies...you can recruit as many young men as you want into the army!
Why waste it on people who have already spent it? !
It was already dusk when Li Shan rested again. He sat down and was about to have a bite to eat when Li Gaoqian came to the door.
Li Shan was too tired to be polite, so he licked his lips at the stool opposite, "Come to punish me?"
"Why is this so?" Li Gaoqian snorted, "The old man is asking for credit for you, how can you still retreat?"
"It's true what I said a long time ago." Li Shan took a few mouthfuls of millet and said, "I've already written a letter to Chang'an."
"Huh?" Li Gaoqian was shocked. He actually didn't care about Li Shan, but he cared about Liu Shirang... he tried every means to embarrass Liu Shirang. "Huairen, tell me in detail."
"It's better not to say anything." Li Shan said listlessly: "You guys are fighting, but it's me who is unlucky...and I've offended Duke Rong Guo!"
Liu Shirang insisted on giving up the credit. In fact, Li Shan had no way to refuse, otherwise he would fall out... Judging from Liu Shirang's arrogant temperament, this possibility is very high.
Afterwards, he could do some tricks, but he couldn't offend Liu Shirang... Playing both sides was what Li Shan had done the most in the past year.
Although he hates it, he has become proficient at it... But Li Shan never imagined that he asked to be released because he couldn't have both sides in the end, and now he has to go back to his old job.
Li Shan raised his head and glanced, adding: "Actually, I don't need to worry, I want to get what I want."
Li Gaoqian was stunned for a moment. He encouraged Li Shan to refuse Liu Shirang's credit. On the one hand, he wanted to embarrass Liu Shirang, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Li Shan would be won over by Liu Shirang.
If Li Shan, who is favored by the saint, is won over, then Liu Shirang will have taken root in Daizhou. It is possible that he will be reinstated, but it is more likely that he will be directly promoted from Daizhou Sima to Daizhou general manager. Previously, there was news from Chang'an that he is likely to be reinstated in the near future. Set up the Daizhou General Manager's Office.
Daizhou Manager...Li Gaoqian may not be jealous, but he definitely doesn't want Liu Shirang to succeed.
You can imagine it with your heels. Liu Shirang was just the Sima of Daizhou. He was ordered to pass through Mayi, so he dared to force himself to lead his troops out of the customs. If the Jin Dynasty was the governor of the state, he had jurisdiction over Daizhou, Xinzhou, Yuzhou, Shuozhou, and was in Hedong Road. If you can stand side by side with the governor of Bingzhou, you will probably have to sit on your head and shit.
But if Li Shan wants something from him, it means that he is unlikely to be won over by Liu Shirang... Li Gaoqian asked tentatively: "Huairen can elaborate on it."
"I made the Duke laugh. I love A Duwu very much." Li Shan put down his job, "Yanmen... please let go."
Li Gaoqian was stunned for a while before he reacted, "Exit?"
"Um."
Li Gaoqian looked at the young man in front of him with an unbelievable look. This guy is really brave. He actually wants to transport goods out of the customs and sell them... In fact, similar things have been going on for the past two years, but the acting county magistrate took the lead in smuggling. ,this……
But this is not the reason why Li Gaoqian is unbelievable.
He clearly remembered what Li Shan once said.
"I love merit, even more than wealth, and I must acquire it in a wise way."
You wrote "The Theory of Love of the Lotus" and used the lotus as a metaphor for a gentleman... Is this how you behave?
Li Gaoqian even remembered that just now, this guy kept saying that he was doing it right!
Smuggling goods out of customs and selling Turks, is this the way?
