After making the decision to hold back for a month, Lord Xinling seemed to have settled down and no longer felt uneasy. Zhang Yue often caught a cold and could not manage affairs, which did not hinder the smooth development of the military. Lord Xinling and Mr. Zhongyue had free time and went to visit the wounded in the wounded camp.
The two came to a seriously injured person. The injury was on the calf, deep to the bone. It was difficult to remove it. The wound was large, suppurative, and started to heat up. Lord Xinling frowned as he looked at the pus and blood flowing all over the ground and the wounded man's blackened calf. Mr. Zhongyue said: "Two or three people have already developed fever, which may be difficult to cure."
Lord Xinling said: "Is there any truth to this?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "There are doctors who say it can be cured, but it is difficult to prepare all the medicines."
Lord Xinling said: "Where is the doctor? You can visit him."
The wounded man cried out pitifully: "Don't treat, don't treat, it's better to die! It hurts! It hurts!..."
Lord Xinling leaned down and said, "Brothers, don't worry, I will try my best to save you. The whole family is leaning on the door and looking at each other. How can we not come back, brothers!" He stood up and said to Mr. Zhongyue, "We are visiting the doctor together."
Mr. Zhongyue led Mr. Xinling out and walked to the courtyard next to him. Calling to open the courtyard door, Mr. Zhongyue said: "The general wants to visit Mr. Yue." The man who opened the door stepped aside and looked at Mr. Xinling who was following Mr. Zhongyue in a daze. Lord Xinling gave a brief salute and followed Mr. Zhongyue straight to a side room.
In front of the door, Mr. Zhong Yue stood at the foot of the steps and said, "How are you, Mr. Yue?"
The door opened with a creak, and Mr. Yue walked out with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Ande Zhongyue is here to visit!..." Suddenly he saw Mr. Xinling behind Mr. Zhongyue. He was so frightened that his color changed and he hurriedly ran down. Coming up the stairs, he bowed down and said, "I didn't know the general was coming. It's a capital crime!"
Lord Xinling bowed his head to the ground and said, "Sir, I'm here to visit!" He helped Mr. Yue up.
Mr. Yue nodded and kowtowed and brought the two of them indoors. The indoor air is dirty, mixed with sweat and body odor, and the light is dim. Mr. Xinling said: "It's warm today, let's sit in the courtyard!" Mr. Yue ran in, took two seats and spread them on the ground, then ran to the next door to borrow a seat.
Lord Xinling bowed his head and said in a loud voice: "Gentlemen, you have worked so hard and I have no comfort for you. I am here today and would like to discuss it with you gentlemen!"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhongyue wanted to go to each door to invite him. How dare those doctors ask Mr. Zhong Yue to invite him? They all hurriedly opened the door and came out and knelt down in front of Lord Xinling. Mr. Xinling helped them up one by one and comforted them with kind words. Let everyone take a seat and gather in the courtyard.
Everyone wanted Mr. Xinling and Mr. Zhongyue to sit down, but Mr. Xinling refused. He bowed the doctors to the main seat one by one, and then he and Mr. Zhongyue sat at the guest seat, facing each other.
Lord Xinling said: "In the Department of Military Affairs, I neglected to ask for advice. Please do not sin, sir!"
All the doctors bowed down and said, "How dare you!"
Lord Xinling said: "In Gu Shi's injured camp, most of the injured have recovered, and the injured camp is quiet. This is all the result of the teachers! How should the rest survive?"
Mr. Yue seemed to be very prestigious among the doctors, so everyone recommended him to answer the question. Mr. Yue said: "The rest have two ends. First, the sores are difficult to heal, but the muscles and muscles are intact, with little blood and no pus; secondly, the sores are mixed with pus and blood, and may even cause fever. For the sores that are difficult to heal, the only treatment is It nourishes tendons and promotes muscle growth; for those with sores, pus and blood, it is necessary to remove pus and detoxify. The two treatments are different, and the medicines used are different. The medicine is rarely found locally, so it needs to be found in other places."
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, if you have any ideas, you can write them down to me. I should be your master." As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other. Mr. Zhongyue knew them well. He took out two wooden tablets and a carving knife from his sleeves and said, "If you have any ideas, please let me know."
Mr. Yue said: "How dare you work Mr. Zhongyue!"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "How dare you disobey the general's orders? I hope you gentlemen will not worry about it."
Mr. Yue said: "The first one to regenerate tendons and muscles is Dipsacus; secondly, Angelica sinensis, Eucommia ulmoides, Xiongxiong, etc. can also be used..." Mr. Yue came one by one, and Mr. Zhongyue told the names of the mentioned medicines and the required ingredients. The weight is engraved on the wooden tablet. After Mr. Yue finished speaking, some of the gentlemen added some medicines they were familiar with. There were about a dozen medicines written on each of the two wooden tablets. Because it is not easy to carve characters, and Mr. Zhongyue has not heard of some medicine names and does not know how to write them. He has to ask other people. Some people know what plants they are, but do not know how to write them. It takes several rounds to confirm the name; it is really not very easy. The easy-to-find medicine can only be given up. An hour has passed since the drug order was finalized. During this period, Lord Xinling had almost nothing to do, but he did not feel any embarrassment. Instead, he observed with great interest the group of doctors who enthusiastically offered prescriptions and listened to their explanations, explanations and arguments. It wasn't until Mr. Zhong Yue finished recording that he encouraged everyone a few more words and left.
Returning to the mansion, Mr. Zhongyue asked his disciple to make two copies of the medicine list and send them to Daliang and Zheng respectively. He asked the elders of the mansion and Dr. Xu Jia to purchase the medicine and send it as soon as possible. Although there were no commercial pharmacies at that time, there were professional or semi-professional doctors, especially the royal family, who had medical officers who had their own medicine stores.
In the afternoon, Lord Xinling went to the Chinese Army to visit Dr. Jin Bi, who shocked Jin Bi. Lord Xinling told him that he just wanted to know about the forward deployment and future action plan. Jin Bi said: "I am about to go to the front army for inspection. I would like to go with you, sir." Lord Xinling agreed happily.
Doctor Jin Bi prepared a car and drove it himself, asking Xiao Jian to explain to Lord Xinling what he saw along the way. Behind the car is a group of escorting soldiers. The retainers brought by Lord Xinling were placed among the guards. They did not wear armor and held halberds, so they were very conspicuous among a group of neat military soldiers.
Jin Bi drove from right to left, patrolling one by one according to the normal rhythm of patrolling the camp, while Xiao Jian pointed out the fortifications or camps one by one in the car, introducing the key points of the battle to Lord Xinling, and even the points that needed to be focused on. The cooperation between these two people is very harmonious, almost to the point of being connected. The rhythm of Jin Bi's driving and the rhythm of Xiao Jian's introduction are so in tune, making Xiao Jian's introduction seem smooth, natural, focused, thoughtful and comprehensive. Lord Xinling wondered whether Xiao Jian had left Mang Mansion and defected to Jin Bi.
The inspection work lasted for a whole afternoon, and except for a few temporary camp affairs, there was almost no interruption. Since there was little pressure from the Qin army, Jin Bi advanced the defensive front nearly five miles and organized multiple defensive positions. The various tactical moves introduced to him by Xiao Jian were very in line with Lord Xinling's current knowledge level, and were easy to understand in simple terms. During the whole process, Lord Xinling hardly spoke, completely immersed in the scene in front of him and Xiao Jian's explanation. Only when entering each camp, Jin Bi would loudly announce: "General, thank you!" causing all the soldiers in the battalion to come out of their caves and form array. Lord Xinling offered condolences to each of them.
The design of the crypt looks really good. In the past few days, various battalions of the civilian army have cut down a large number of trees and set up roofs on the top of the caves to provide better protection from wind and rain.
After returning from the camp tour, Jin Bi invited Lord Xinling to dinner before returning to the city. Lord Xinling also wanted to talk to Jin Bi: During the afternoon patrol, only Xiao Jian was singing a one-man show, and neither Jin Bi nor Lord Xinling spoke much.
It was Lord Xinling, Jin Bi and Xiao Jian who entered the big tent. The guests were invited by the camp commander to rest - the military commander camp commander had an independent crypt. As for Jin Bi and the generals, they naturally lived in the nearby one. In the house, the large tent is just an office space.
The curtain only surrounded three sides, and the free side led to the courtyard. A door was dug on the opposite side and was covered with a curtain. After entering the tent, Xiao Jian held his hands for a moment, sat down next to a desk in the corner, and began to deal with the pile of slips and slips on the desk. Jin Bi then invited Lord Xinling to the hospital.
The owner of the courtyard has been invited to leave. This courtyard is mainly occupied by the Chinese military general, because he brought many retainers and retainers. Jin Bi was alone and only lived in one wing room, while Xiao Jian lived in a wing room. The Chinese general was chatting with people in the courtyard when he saw Jin Bi and Lord Xinling coming in and came to see them. Jin Bi said: "The general has been patrolling the camp here and will return home after having dinner with our army."
When the right army general heard this, he immediately gave him a flattering meal. Jin Bi said: "General, please rest in the hall for a while."
Lord Xinling said: "Just as I was about to ask the doctor for advice, I saw the light in front of the hall."
After hearing this, the Chinese general immediately asked someone to prepare wine and deliver it to the front of the hall.
Although it was in front of the hall, Jin Bi still let Lord Xinling enter the hall, but instead of sitting under the screen, he sat down by the door, which was bright and confidential. The three of them followed the military rules, with Lord Xinling in the middle, Jin Bi and the generals on the left and right. The retainers brought the wine sets and fruit cups, and the general waved them off. He poured the wine with his own hands and gave the preserved fruits to everyone to drink.
The three of them each drank a glass of wine and ate a preserved fruit. Lord Xinling said: "Prime Minister Wei ordered us to hold on for one month. Do you dare to ask the second minister to teach me?"
The general of the Chinese army said carelessly: "Don't worry, young master, there will be nothing wrong with a military officer."
Jin Bi said: "The peace treaty is about to be completed, and the most important thing is to avoid surprises. It is the best policy for both sides not to move. The Qin people have reduced their troops, which also shows this intention. I will defend it with a strong base to show that I have no intention of invading, and also to prevent Qin from attacking us." . Wei Xiang and Mang General all have this intention."
Lord Xinling said: "The teaching and commandments are gradually coming to an end. What can I do?"
Jin Bi said: "It's cold and the ground is freezing, and you don't have enough food and clothing. It's very harsh to practice once a day. Those who can avoid frostbite and stroke are the best. One month has passed by in an instant, and you should count on the next month." .”
Lord Xinling said: "Does the doctor have any plan to dispatch the army?"
Jin Bi said: "Of course. It is unusual to send troops. There are many slips and documents, and we have to deal with them one by one. It may be difficult to support them in one month."
Lord Xinling was shocked and said, "Is this what you should do today?"
Jin Bi said: "There are thirty battalions of the people's army, more than 150 villages and 100,000 people. But if you write down their names, you can get 3,000 per day. If you don't have 100 people, you can do it. Not to mention recording their achievements, civil titles, etc. There will be many more. People help each other, starting from now, it will be completed in one month."
Lord Xinling said: "The doctor's plan is correct. All the soldiers in the camp will obey the doctor's orders and dare not disobey."
Jin Bi said: "I think the dispatch of troops this time is different from the past. What is it? In the past, when the troops were dispatched, after the war was over, they would return home victorious, and everyone would take their achievements and go to their hometowns. This is not the case now. The war is not over yet, but the records are written down and recorded. Achievements, hard work, but the body is like eating wind and drinking dew, the ears are still hearing the sound of golden drums, and the heart is still afraid of the harm of sharp swords. If you know it, your morale will be deflated."
