On the 27th, Xu Da left Yanmen by the middle road, Li Wenzhong left Yingchang by the east road from Juyong, and Feng Sheng left Jinlan by the west road and took Gansu.
On February 29, Xu Dashi arrived in Shanxi and sent the vanguard Lan Yu out of Yanmen first.
Lan Yu led his troops to Yema River. After encountering a small group of Beiyuan cavalry, he pursued them all the way to Luanshan. The Beiyuan army fought back and was defeated by Lan Yu.
Zheng Xiong's fleet went north via the canal. Although Meng Yuan cut the bend and straightened it, which greatly shortened the waterway distance from Yingtian Prefecture to Beiping Prefecture (Dadu), the north wind was still blowing and the transportation speed was not fast.
On March 15th, the blue jade soldiers and horses arrived at the Tula River and met Wang Baobao's soldiers and horses (Kuaiko Timur). After a fierce battle, Wang Baobao was defeated and fled.
At this time, the team of doctors led by Zheng Xiong had just arrived at Yanmen, and a large amount of logistical supplies were also brought with them.
The waterway is not fast. After walking on the waterway, we reached the Taihang Mountains. There were troops to send each other, and we reached Yanmen Pass without any danger.
Inside Yanmen Pass, Zheng Xiong rubbed his sore body. The many days of marching were really a huge burden on his current body.
The Tietiao garrison at Yanmen Pass had two thousand-household stations under its jurisdiction, with more than 2,000 troops stationed there. Together with the civilians, there were more than 10,000 people in Yanmen Pass at this time.
At this time, Zhang Huaiyuan, the garrison of Daizhou and the commander of Yanmen Pass, was sitting at Yanmen Pass, arranging a series of matters regarding grain and grass supplies.
Hearing that the team of doctors led by Zheng Xiong had arrived, they quickly got up and went to the gate of the city wall to greet them.
Zhang Huaiyuan is a fourth-rank official, and his official position is a bit higher. However, although Zheng Xiong is a fifth-rank official, Zheng Xiong's achievements are not only in medical skills, but also a certain position of marquis. Zhang Huaiyuan does not dare to neglect.
Not to mention Xu Da's special instructions before leaving, which Zhang Huaiyuan did not dare to underestimate.
Zheng Xiong was wearing official uniform, with Zheng Xiong's immature face, and a team of about two hundred doctors behind him, although it was a bit nondescript to have this guy like a blunderbuss behind him. But when they met, Zhang Huaiyuan suddenly knew something in his mind, and he raised his hands and said to Zheng Xiong.
"May I ask if this is Zheng Tiling from Huimin Pharmacy? I am acting as the state garrison and also serving as Yanmen Pass's deputy Zhang Huaiyuan. I am here to see what kind of person the Tiling from Huimin Pharmacy is."
"Your Majesty Titiao, you are very polite. I am lowering my official position to Zheng Xiong of Huimin Pharmacy. I would like to pay my respects to Lord Titiao."
When Zheng Xiong saw the promotion of Yanmen Pass, he came to greet him personally. As a senior official, the etiquette should be indispensable, so he quickly saluted.
"Ti Ling doesn't need to be so polite. He has achieved such great achievements at such a young age. When I meet him today, I realize that being famous is not as good as meeting him. Meeting him is even better than being famous. Ti Ling is really a young hero."
Faced with Zhang Huaiyuan's praise, Zheng Xiong didn't say much. He didn't know anything, so it was better to be cautious in his words and actions.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I shouldn't take it for granted that Sir Ti Tiao is so complimentary. It's just a little bit more luck. Sir Ti Tiao doesn't have to be like this."
"Oh, of course, the whole world is now being vaccinated against cowpox. Because we are located on the border, we have been vaccinated for smallpox early, and we have not seen any signs of smallpox for a long time. In addition to other achievements of the pharmacy, we have to draw the day's smallpox vaccine." No, who else in the world can do that?"
"This is what the lower official should do. Now that we have arrived at Yanmen Pass, I don't know what the lower official should do. Please give me some advice, sir."
Zhang Huaiyuan was so enthusiastic that Zheng Xiong quickly changed the subject and asked the doctor what to do after arriving at Yanmen Pass.
Xu Da's army ran too fast. Thinking about how much time has passed, Lan Yu and Xu Da must have gone all the way north, almost to Mongolia. After all, no matter how hard these two legs ran, they couldn't outrun the army on horseback. , simply asked.
"Don't worry about withdrawing it. The Duke gave instructions before leaving. The doctors from the pharmacy will be stationed at Yanmen Pass. If there are any injuries or illnesses, they will be sent back to Yanmen Pass and handed over to the doctors from the pharmacy for treatment. Just wait here."
"I have prepared a meal. Please give Ti Ling some time to cleanse himself from the wind and dust."
Zheng Xiong couldn't refuse Zhang Huaiyuan's invitation. Looking at the longing eyes of his doctors, he reluctantly accepted without saying a word of rejection, and went to the banquet with a stomach that had not eaten well for a long time.
"Sir, please come first."
After some chatting, the two of them walked together, and the doctor behind him had his own dedicated person to receive him.
There was nothing special about the banquet. It was a standard of four dishes and one soup. If I really want to say what the special feature is, it is the game here. It is large and filling, which makes Zheng Xiong quite satisfied. Later generations will have no chance to eat it. It is a good taste at this time.
After eating and drinking, Zheng Xiong left and went to rest. The room had been tidied up long ago, making Zheng Xiong feel at home, warm and considerate in his heart.
The next day, Zheng Xiong, who had rested well, came to the government office in Yanmen Pass to meet with Zhang Huaiyuan, who had promoted him.
"Sir Ti Tiao, I have rested here. If you have any orders, please give me your instructions."
"There are no instructions. We don't need help from the pharmacy here. If you have any ideas, just go and do it yourself. I will give you my full cooperation."
Zhang Huaiyuan is very generous, and Zheng Xiong is well-known, so he just wants the pharmacy to do a lot of work. Besides, he is also very busy.
"I wonder what the situation is like at Yanmenguan and whether Xiaguan Pharmacy should do anything."
"There are 19 gates in Yanmen Pass, more than 400 miles from east to west, and there are more than 100 sloping paths, all of which can lead to people and horses. Today, there are 2,562 officers and soldiers guarding this pass and each gate, and the people There are three thousand nine hundred and thirty-five strong, each with a large army of a hundred strong and a small army of fifty, and there are only twenty or ten people in between. There is no war now, and everything is very peaceful."
"The Duke has already drank from Ma Hanhai. There is no war here, so we won't bother to collect them. There are some wounded people evacuated from the front who need to be collected and treated."
"Excuse me, Sir, please bring me to take a look."
"Come here, take Zheng Tiling from the pharmacy to take a look. I have something to do, so I'll take the trouble to check it out myself."
"I'm sorry to bother you. Sir, please excuse me. I'll take my leave."
At this time, the clerk on the side came over and gestured with his hands.
"Pick it up, please come this way."
I followed the officer to the camp inside the pass. In the simple tent, except for a few sergeants on duty, there were no other personnel.
From time to time, there were several wailing sounds in the camp.
When the two came closer, the sergeant on duty looked at the official uniform and confirmed that he was someone who could not afford to offend. He saluted and said.
"The military camp is located. I don't know what you two are doing here."
"My officer, Zheng Xiong, picked it up from Huimin Pharmacy. I came here to see the wounded so that I can know how to treat them."
The sergeant was in awe when he heard Zheng Xiong's name. Alcohol is a commonly used drug in the army, and Zheng Xiong's name is quite effective in the army.
"It turns out that Sir Ti is here, but please give me your instructions."
"Just take me in and take a look, and tell me about the condition of these wounded people."
"Yes, please come with me to collect. There are about two hundred wounded people in the camp. After being injured on the front line, they simply cleaned them with alcohol and then wrapped them in cloth strips."
"The situation today is not bad. It is much better than the previous situation where life and death were determined by destiny. Some of them are getting better and better, and some are in a bit worse condition. Now that the pharmacy is taking action, I think their chances of survival are much higher. point."
