"Is there such a strange thing?"
In the turret on the west side of Longmen Pass, Li Zexuan was shocked after listening to Li Yu's story about that night. He held his chin and thought for a long time, then turned his eyes to Li Yu and said, "It's because of this that you came from Chang'an alone. Came to Jiangzhou?"
Sometimes he had to admire this little girl Li Yu. At this age, she has not even graduated from elementary school in modern times. She dares to travel far and wide by herself. This can no longer be called independent. It should be called " "Precocious" is pretty much it!
Li Yu nodded and said: "Back then, I ran from Yuezhou to Chang'an to find my parents. Now what does it mean to come from Chang'an to Jiangzhou? Sir, I really want to know who my father and mother are? I also I really want to know why they gave me away and didn't pick me up later? But I was still a step too late, and the Turkic National Master has now disappeared!"
At the end, Li Yu's tone was a little low. She had eaten and slept in the open, traveled day and night, but in the end she failed to realize her wish, so naturally she couldn't avoid being disappointed.
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said: "I fought against Wu Jie. This man has extremely high martial arts. He is wearing a black robe and a black hat. It is difficult to see his face clearly, but his voice is very hoarse, as if ...It was as if he had been burned by fire, cracked and hoarse. In addition, he also had an evil internal power that could release something similar to thunder and lightning, catching people off guard!
Wu Jie's fighting style tends to defeat ten groups with one force. He doesn't like beating around the bush, relying on moves and human nature. Wu Jie may also be the kind of person who doesn't like trouble. He strikes decisively and moves forward without hesitation. He is indeed qualified to be the best in the world. Master! But I know very little about the detailed origin of Wu Jie! Master rarely mentioned it during his lifetime. Maybe you can ask my little uncle tomorrow, he should know! "
Recalling Xuan Qing's previous interrogation of him, Li Zexuan couldn't help but feel a little cowardly, so he didn't plan to ask Xuan Qing personally about Wu Jie. Wouldn't that be throwing himself into a trap? It's better for Xiao Yu'er to ask it himself!
After all, Li Zexuan is still worried that Xuanqing will find out that he is a "fake". After all, he did many things in the past under the banner of Master Lingxu, and Xuanqing has always had a good relationship with Master Lingxu. If Xuan Qing investigates carefully, he will definitely be able to see clues from many things!
"Well! That's good! I'll ask Taoist Master Xuanqing tomorrow!"
Li Yu didn't think much and nodded in agreement, and then she suddenly said: "Chief of the Mountain, General Qin and the others are leading an army to pursue the Turkic Imperial Master. Do you think Wu Jie will..."
Although the following words were not said, the general idea was already very obvious.
Li Zexuan frowned, paused for a moment, and then said: "I heard from Renbiao that not only Uncle Qin and Uncle Cheng are chasing behind them, but there are also Yunzhou, Shuozhou, Daizhou, and Yuzhou in the north. The soldiers and horses are intercepting, and the total number of people is at least 60,000. The Turkic army has been defeated at Longmen Pass before, and its momentum has long been gone. Facing this 60,000 army, they will definitely lose!
However, Wu Jie and Ashina Sheerji are both masters of martial arts. If they try their best to escape and sacrifice the lives of Turkic soldiers to pave the way for them, it will probably be difficult for Uncle Qin to catch them! "
Hearing this, Li Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Zexuan looked at Li Yu's face with burning eyes and asked, "Xiao Yu'er, do you want Wu Jie to die or live?"
"I……!!"
Under Li Zexuan's gaze, Li Yu's eyes flashed with panic. She opened her mouth and said nervously: "I... of course I hope he will die. I am from the Tang Dynasty and he is a Turk. He has killed so many Tang people. I Of course I hope he dies! But before he dies, I want to smell the whereabouts of my father and mother from his mouth!"
Li Zexuan nodded, then he turned around, stood with his hands behind his back and said: "That's good! Xiao Yu'er, no matter what the situation, no matter what the reason, I hope you remember that you are a Tang person, and you will always You can't do anything to harm Datang, otherwise I will never forgive you!"
The main reason why he said this was that Li Zexuan thought of a very terrible result, that is, Li Yu's parents are Turks, or Li Yu's father is Wu Jie!
Although this possibility is slim, it does not mean that it is absolutely impossible. Besides, even if Li Yu's father is not Wu Jie, he may have some intersection with Wu Jie. At this time, it is a considerable personal test for Li Yu. Whether to choose national justice or personal feelings, to be honest, no matter who faces this multiple-choice question, it will be difficult to choose!
After Li Zexuan finished speaking, there was a burst of noise outside the house. Li Zexuan's face changed, he listened carefully for a moment, and said to Li Yu: "The army chasing Wu Jie is back! Let's go and have a look together!"
Li Yu's expression changed, because after a moment, she nodded and responded: "Yes!"
The two of them walked out of the room and went straight down the tower. They saw that the lights were brightly lit under the tower, and there were torches everywhere. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Hong Wenxing, Wang Renbiao and others were standing there. In front of the army, they were talking about something.
Seeing this, Li Zexuan walked up quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Qin, Uncle Cheng, Uncle Yuchi, are you back?"
"Hey! Xiaoxuan! Are you really okay? Great!"
Cheng Yaojin saw that Li Zexuan's face was ruddy and energetic, and he didn't look like he was seriously injured at all. He went up to him excitedly and laughed loudly: "I told you that you are a lucky guy, how could you fall down so easily? ?OK!"
Qin Qiong stroked his beard and said with a look of relief: "When we were at Yonghe Pass, Fang Canjun said that you were seriously injured by Wu Jie. We old guys were really worried. Just now Governor Hong said that you were rescued by Taoist Master Xuanqing. The injury has healed, I still didn’t believe it, but now that I have seen the real person, I am finally relieved!”
"Haha! If you can confront Wu Jie and take away his belongings, after today, Xiaoxuan, you will definitely be famous all over the world!"
Yuchi Jingde said with emotion.
What he said was true. Li Zexuan fought against the Grand Master at the middle stage of the Grand Master. Although he fell behind in the process, in terms of the result, it can be said that he won, because the things on Wu Jie were given by Li Zexuan " Robbed!
"Uncle Yuchi, please don't make fun of my nephew! I was lucky enough to survive this time because my uncle tried his best to heal me, otherwise I would still be in a coma right now!"
Li Zexuan said a few words modestly, and quickly took the initiative to ask: "Forget talking about this for now, how is the situation of the three uncles on the front line?"
From the corner of his eye, he noticed the little fish beside him looking at him anxiously and with pleading eyes.
Cheng Yaojin said with a dark face: "Bah! When Wu Jie saw us old guys, he ran away desperately. He couldn't even catch up! In the end, he was allowed to escape!"
Lao Cheng originally wanted to fight Wu Jie for 300 rounds, but in the end he couldn't even fight Wu Jie's weapons, which made him very annoyed.
Li Zexuan looked surprised and secretly thought that this result was similar to what he had analyzed in private before!
When Xiao Yu'er heard this, her eyes were complicated. When she heard the news, she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad. She was extremely conflicted!
Qin Qiong added at this time: "Although we did not capture Wu Jie and Ashina Sheerjiu, we almost killed the 40,000 elite Turkic wolf riders, and only more than a thousand people followed Wu Jie and escaped from the encirclement. . These more than 30,000 wolf riders are the best among Jieli’s elite. All of them were lost in the Tang Dynasty, which is also a huge loss for Jieli!”
Yuchi Jingde frowned and said: "Although this battle severely defeated the Turkic wolf cavalry, our troops and horses also suffered a lot, especially the soldiers from the four prefectures of Yunzhou, Daizhou, Yuzhou and Shuozhou. They faced the Turks directly. The impact of the Imperial Army resulted in more than 70% casualties, and combined with the troops brought from Qizhou, Bingzhou, and us from the capital, our casualties in this battle were over 43,000, and the losses were also heavy!"
Li Zexuan was surprised when he heard this. He couldn't believe it and said, "The Turkic wolf cavalry is so powerful?"
Qin Qiong nodded and said: "The combat power of the Turkic Wolf Cavalry has always been unparalleled in the world. In addition, this Turkic Wolf Cavalry tried its best to escort Wu Jie and Ashina Sheerji out of the encirclement, and adopted a life-threatening tactic. , the combat power of such a Turkic wolf cavalry is even more terrifying!"
A picture of a tragic battlefield fight instantly appeared in Li Zexuan's mind, and he said with a heavy face: "What a pity for these good men of the Tang Dynasty!"
"General Qin, do you want this battle report to be sent to Chang'an?"
Meng Wenhao cupped his fists and said.
Qin Qiong pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Pass! But at this hour, King Wei and His Majesty should have rested! You try it first!"
Meng Wenhao responded: "Yes! General Qin!"
After that, he turned around and left, returning to his tent to send the telegram!
"The three princes have traveled a long distance and fought all night, so they must be tired, right? The official has arranged a place for the three princes to stay, and also asked the three princes to go and have a rest!"
At this time, Hong Wenxing on the side stepped forward and cupped his hands.
He is the governor of Jiangzhou and the "host" here, so of course he must fulfill his duties as a landlord!
Li Zexuan also reacted and said quickly: "President Hong is right. The three uncles have been marching all the way and haven't slept a wink all day and night. It's better to go and rest!"
Qin Qiong nodded and said: "Okay! After the soldiers are settled, we will rest!"
With that said, he turned to look at Hong Wenxing and said, "President Hong, could you please dispatch some military doctors from the Jiangzhou Prefecture Army Camp immediately? There are many injured sergeants in urgent need of treatment!"
Hong Wenxing hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I obey the order! I will send someone back to Zhengping County to recruit military doctors!"
Regarding military doctors, the earliest record of military doctors in China was in the Zhou Dynasty. Lu Shang (Jiang Ziya) once mentioned in "Six Tao": (in the army) "Three alchemists prepared hundreds of medicines to treat golden sores and recover from them." All diseases." By the Han Dynasty, military hospitals had taken shape. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records an institution called "Anlu", which is roughly equivalent to a modern field hospital.
With the development of the times, military doctors are also making continuous progress. Institutions similar to full-time medical care appeared in the Tang army. That is, each battalion has a "sick child inspection officer" to inspect the sick and wounded every day in order to arrange medical treatment and follow-up care. deliver. Injured soldiers can not only receive treatment, but also have their condition monitored regularly.
For example, the Zhechong Mansion camp in Jiangzhou Prefecture must have a department such as "School Inspection Officer for Sick Children."
Hong Wenxing took the order and left. Li Zexuan's eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands to Qin Qiong and said, "Uncle Qin, my nephew also knows some medical skills. You can have the sergeants who are seriously injured and in urgent need of treatment be carried over. I'll treat them first, right?" "
These injured sergeants were not only for fighting against the Turks, like some of the troops from Qizhou and those from Chang'an, but also for saving Longmen Pass and him. Li Zexuan had medical skills. If he stood by and watched at this moment, He will have a bad conscience!
Hearing this, Qin Qiong couldn't help but worry and said: "Xiaoxuan, you have just recovered from a serious injury. You should rest well and not overwork yourself!"
Cheng Yaojin also nodded and said: "Second Brother Qin is right, Xiaoxuan, you'd better rest and recuperate!"
Li Zexuan shook his head and refused: "Uncle Qin and Uncle Cheng, to tell you the truth, thanks to my uncle's rescue, my nephew not only recovered from his injuries, but also made a breakthrough by luck. Now is the time when you are full of energy. You two don't have to worry about my nephew's health." Body!"
"What? Xiaoxuan, have you made a breakthrough again?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened like bells and he said with an incredulous look on his face.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Haha! It's just a fluke!"
Cheng Yaojin was speechless immediately, thinking that I, old Cheng, also want to be lucky like you, but unfortunately I am too old, and my path to martial arts may stop here!
Qin Qiong said with a look of relief: "Okay! Since Xiaoxuan, your body is no longer seriously injured, I will ask someone to carry the seriously injured soldier over!"
"Hmm~!"
……………………
"Your wound must be disinfected with alcohol, otherwise it will fester and it may hurt a little. Just bear with it!"
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I can bear it! Hiss~! Ouch~!"
"Didn't you say you could bear it? Why did you scream?"
"...Master Hou, who would have thought it would hurt so much! Hiss~! It hurts so much!"
"Haha! Okay! Let me bandage it for you first. The military doctor will come later and give you some medicine that will help the wound!"
"Thank you, Mr. Hou! Uh... Mr. Hou, can you give me a taste of the alcohol in your hand? It's so fragrant!"
"Go and rest! It didn't hurt enough just now, did it?"
In the large tent in front of Longmen Pass, Li Zexuan carried a simple medicine box and shuttled between the injured camps one after another. Most of these wounded soldiers suffered knife wounds, so the wounds must be disinfected, otherwise in this weather, It is 100% likely to become suppurative and infected. This is why not many ancient soldiers actually died on the battlefield. Most of them died of wound infection and suppuration after the war!
Fortunately, Qin Qiong's army brought some medical alcohol with them when they came from Chang'an, otherwise Li Zexuan would probably have to distill the alcohol in the military camp by now!
