To be honest, the aristocratic families of this era actually have a very subtle attitude towards doctors.
On the one hand, because medical technology is underdeveloped in these days, even a slight headache or fever may lead to death. Therefore, children of wealthy families will study some medical books on their own if they have the conditions.
For example, Liu Yin and Zhuge Liang actually know some medical theory.
But, on the other hand, these children of aristocratic families have a contemptuous attitude towards doctors who practice medicine.
Especially Xiang Ji, who is obviously a child of a noble family, but does not hold an official position as the governor of Changsha, but deals with the mud-legged people every day, and provides free medical treatment to these mud-legged people. He is simply an anomaly for the children of the aristocratic family.
Therefore, although Zhang Ji is a descendant of the Zhang family in Nanyang, and even the uncle of the head of the Zhang family in Nanyang in terms of seniority, the Zhang Ji family in Nanyang still doesn't like Zhang Ji very much.
But times have changed.
I don’t know what kind of bug God has caused, which allowed a time-travel dog to sneak in. By the way, this time-travel dog got on a line with Zhang Ji. In addition, this time-travel dog was caught in Jingzhou without incident. For ideological construction, a Yuelu Academy was built, and Zhang Ji was specially invited to Yuelu Academy to conduct medical research. The nature of this matter was different.
Zhang Xi not only encouraged Liu Bei to print Zhang Ji's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" with engravings, distributed it to all counties, and opened it to doctors all over the world for free, he also included the book in the library of Yuelu Academy.
As the reputation of Yuelu Academy has become higher and higher over the years, the level and grade of the books that can be collected in the library of Yuelu Academy have also become higher and higher. Zhang Ji's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" has been praised by the world. It has reached the point where it has become the "Holy Scripture of Medical Practitioners".
Zhang Ji himself was from the Zhang family in Nanyang. He was a member of a standard aristocratic family. He was not at the same level as a folk doctor.
Now he has written "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" which is a "Holy Book of Physicians". Although it is not a Confucian classic, it can be regarded as an alternative author of books and biographies. This has led to Zhang Ji's own status, not only Among the people, even among aristocratic families, it is very high.
In addition, two years ago, Zhang Ji passed away in Yuelu Academy in Jingzhou. At that time, even Sima Hui, a famous figure in the world who has lived till now and never died, wrote memorial tributes to Zhang Ji, which further raised Zhang Ji's reputation. status.
Therefore, when Liu Yin heard that Wei Chen was Zhang Ji's disciple, he did not regard Wei Chen as a doctor at all, but subconsciously treated him as a disciple of a family of the same level.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Wei Chen's own background. Wei Chen was born in the Wei family in Hedong.
The family of Wei Zhongdao, the lucky man who married Cai Zhaoji, was also a big family in the Hedong area.
Wei Chen himself is indeed a descendant of a noble family.
The reason why Wei Shen was poached by Zhang Xi for nothing was because Zhang Ji owed Zhang Xi a favor. If Zhang Xi hadn't reminded him, Zhang Ji's research on water poisoning and epidemic miasma would not have been that great. Find ways to prevent and cure successfully.
On the other hand, Wei Chen is actually better at pediatrics and gynecology. Zhang Xi recruited this guy to find protection for his wife and children.
But now, because Zhang Xi was about to go to the battlefield, Sun Shangxiang was worried, so he asked Wei Chen to come to Zhang Xi's army to serve as an accompanying military doctor, just in case.
In the end, Zhang Xi was useless, but Feng Xi caught up.
"This man is actually very lucky. He has seven wounds on his body. Five of them are in non-critical places such as the limbs. Only two of them are serious, one on the chest and one on the back. Fortunately, the internal organs are not injured. Otherwise, I would also There is nothing you can do!" This was the conclusion Wei Chen gave after initially treating Feng Xi.
Wei Chen also marveled at Feng Xi's luck.
There were seven major injuries all over his body. Only one cut on the chest and one on the back were so deep that the bones were visible. Fortunately, they were blocked by the ribs and no internal organs were injured.
If the internal organs are really injured, let alone Wei Chen, even if you resurrect Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, there is nothing they can do under the constraints of this era.
The reason why Feng Xi is unconscious now is simply excessive blood loss. Wei Chen has no good solution. The most he can do is stop the bleeding and heal the wound. The rest can only be done by Feng Xi himself. past.
If he gets through it, then Feng Xi will basically have no problems, and he will still be a good man after recovering from his injury.
If Wei Chen couldn't survive it, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Wei Chen was not good at treating wounds.
Besides, even if Zhang Xi knew that excessive blood loss could be saved through blood transfusion, in this era, there was neither the conditions to determine the blood type nor the reliable blood transfusion equipment, so he couldn't do it even if he knew how to do it.
Therefore, Zhang Xi could only leave Feng Xi and Wei Chen in Dachangji and ask Liu Yin to take care of them, while he led the troops and returned to the outside of Wugong County first.
After spending another day and a half marching, Zhang Xi returned to the camp outside Wugong County.
By this time, Gao Xiang had already led his troops to attack Wugong County for three days.
Gao Xiang's forceful attack relied on simple hooks and ladders to urge the soldiers to climb the city wall.
This method of siege is the least efficient, but at the same time, it is also the most oppressive method of attack on the enemy.
After all, the number of defenders in Wugong County is small, and they have to take care of the defense of several city walls, which is inherently inadequate. Once the Han army climbs on the city wall and engages in a battle for the city wall, the pressure on the defenders will be huge.
But again, such an attack method will cause very heavy casualties to the attacker.
In just three days of attack, the siege troops commanded by Gao Xiang had suffered more than 800 casualties.
Even Gao Xiang felt heartbroken.
It's not that he doesn't want to attack, but he can't just attack like this. Give him some time and build a good siege equipment. It will be much more efficient than this attack method, and the casualty rate of soldiers will be much lower.
However, the military order was such that Gao Xiang had no other solution.
If Wugong County cannot be put under enough pressure, there will be no chance of forcing Wugong County to surrender. Even if the casualties are heavy, Gao Xiang still has to grit his teeth and continue the attack.
At this time, Wang Chang really couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhang He took away most of the soldiers. How many of the soldiers left behind in Wugong County don't know what kind of situation they are facing now? !
There are more than 7,000 soldiers on the opposite side, and there are only more than 1,300 soldiers on our side. They have to guard four walls. At best, they are left behind, at worst, everyone may be abandoned by Zhang He.
Zhang He led his troops out of the city, saying that he was going to attack Wuzhangyuan, but who knew what he was doing. Don't turn around and just ran back to Youfufeng.
That is to say, not long ago, the pressure of the Shu army's attack has not yet reached the critical point. Everyone has hidden this little thought in their hearts and has not yet exploded.
But this also led to low morale in the army, and everyone had their own agenda.
But if this continues, Wang Chang himself doesn't know how long he can guard Wugong County.
Although, when discussing the division of troops, Zhang He once said that once he led his troops to attack Wuzhangyuan, Wang Chang only had to delay as much time as possible to prevent the Shu army from finding out that he had left. How long the Wugong County would be defended did not matter to Zhang He Nothing is said.
In other words, in fact, there is a tacit understanding between both parties. If Wugong County cannot be defended in a critical moment, then Wang Chang can choose to abandon Wugong County and directly return to Youfufeng.
Compared with You Fufeng, the gains and losses of a Wugong County are not important.
But Wang Chang didn't want to retreat so easily.
It was only four days before Zhang He set out. He was holding on to a city. If he couldn't hold it for four days, he would never think about making achievements on the battlefield in the future.
Another thing, in four days, if Zhang He's march goes well, there is no need to worry, but if the march does not go well and he has to retreat, but he retreats first, it means that Zhang He doesn't even have a way out.
Therefore, Wang Chang's idea is to hold on to Wugong County for at least ten days. After ten days, if he really cannot hold it, then Wang Chang will directly lead his troops back to Youfufeng and re-establish a defense line in Youfufeng. Prevent the Shu army from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Youfufeng.
But on the afternoon of the fifth day, Wang Chang discovered that in the Shu army camp outside the city, not only the number of soldiers had increased, but the general's flag had also been changed from "Gao" to "Zhang".
Zhang Xi, who originally divided his troops to intercept General Zhang He, has returned.
This made Wang Chang's heart sink and he had a very bad premonition.
In fact, if you think about it for a while, you will know that if General Zhang He's advance goes smoothly, Zhang Xi should be desperately chasing General Zhang He at this time, even if he pursues him all the way to Wuzhangyuan.
But Zhang Xi led his troops back to Wugong County at this time, where General Zhang He was. Wang Chang felt anxious in his heart.
If General Zhang He is defeated and even the elite army of 5,000 men is buried in the mountain road, what should I do? !
Continue to hold on? !
When the Shu army attacked with all their strength, I didn't even have a place to run.
Just give up? !
What if General Zhang He's army was not completely wiped out but he came back only to find that his retreat was gone? That would be a big problem.
Wang Chang thought about it and felt that the situation was not over yet. He continued to hold on for two days. If General Zhang He came back, everything would get better. If General Zhang He didn't come back within two days, he would really not be able to come back. .
Fortunately, at noon on the sixth day, Wang Chang saw Zhang He's army retreating from the mountain road to Wugong County in embarrassment at the north gate.
But at the same time, this army also brought some bad news to Wang Chang.
General Zhang He suffered an arrow sore and is now unconscious.
