The battlefield had been cleared, and the men and horses on both sides merged into one and retreated to the bamboo sea of Anleshui (the lower reaches of the Chishui River).

Because the large camp on the south bank of the Tang army was not burned, the weapons and armor and some dry food became the trophies of the Sui army and the wingmen, because the Tang army was almost all cavalry, they also captured nearly 10,000 Hequ war horses produced in Tuyuhun, this kind of horse is characterized by tall and divine horses, excellent appearance, and strong explosiveness.

Qin Zhan wore a Mingguang armor from the Tang Army at this time, and then put on a cloak, and in the hot summer, he was sweating and looking a little funny. He fell in love with a tall, pitch-black horse, and was cautiously approaching, as if it were biting him to death.

In fact, these war horses are all breeded, they are not afraid of life, and their temperament is also very gentle, but Qin Zhan, who is running in the mountains barefoot, doesn't know it. He is also fully armed to prevent the big mouth of the war horse.

The war horse sensed Qin Zhan's arrival, just turned his head to look, and then continued to graze.

Qin Zhan stretched out his hand, vigilantly watching the movements of the war horse, slowly touching the body of the war horse, and the surrounding wingmen and soldiers couldn't help but hold their breath and looked at Qin Zhan without blinking.

Qin Zhan was like a thief, and finally touched it, the muscles of the war horse tightened slightly, and then relaxed again, which made Qin Zhan breathe a sigh of relief, he was not afraid now, walked around the horse a few times, and simply climbed onto the horse's back, and the horse suddenly walked away, making his body unstable, and he fell on his back from the other side.

"Hahahaha......"

The Warriors laughed.

The audience became a sea of joy.

In the distance, Shen Guang took Zhang Sheng, Li Wei, Han Cong, Yuan Ziyan, and Lan Xue'er, and saw Qin Zhan falling from here to there, and from that side to this side, and said with a smile: "This horse is useless, and it is as good as a donkey and a mule in Yizhou." ”

"Donkeys and mules are small, short, slow, and stubborn to death, and I think it's better to be horses." For the wingmen, the well-looking river meandering horse is a rare good thing, and Lan Xue'er also takes a fancy to a big red horse, but she doesn't dare to sit down, and plans to see how her brother gets it first.

Shen Guang also knew that this was a character who was going to enter the palace, so he didn't dare to slack off, and introduced with a smile: "Blue girl, this kind of horse is called Hequ Horse, and its characteristics are good-looking, and it is majestic to ride and play. But because they live in areas with abundant vegetation and mild climate, they can't endure hardship, can't stand the cold, can't endure long-term fighting, and can't climb mountain roads. When the Han Dynasty went on an expedition against the Xiongnu, Huo Qubing they rode this kind of big horse and killed until the northern Hanhai, but the horses couldn't stand the harsh environment there, and they all died one after another, so that the later Han Dynasty had no horses available, and could only give General Li Ling more than 5,000 foot soldiers, but the Han Emperor wanted him to go straight to the Xiongnu Khan's court, and was dragged down by the Hun cavalry riding a short horse, and the whole army was annihilated.

"That kind of short horse, and our army's Liaodong horse is very similar, although the body is short, its appearance is not good, but it can endure hardship, endure hard work, not afraid of the cold, vitality is extremely tenacious, can run thousands of miles in a difficult and harsh environment, the key is to eat the wild grass on the side of the road, as long as it is full, its strength and speed will not be affected, it has always been loved by soldiers."

Looking at these good-looking war horses, Shen Guang said with a disgusted face: "This kind of useless river meandering horse is particularly picky eater, and must be equipped with special forage, if you give it a hybrid, it will not only lose its horse, affect its ability, but also be prone to illness and diarrhea, so everyone doesn't like this kind of war horse." ”

When Lan Xue'er heard this, she was greatly interested in this kind of high-headed horse,

"If Miss Lan likes horses, wait until Luoyang can let Pegasus County Gong Zhang Banzai help you choose, he will definitely be able to give you a good-looking and easy-to-use peerless BMW, he is the Bole of horses, all the horses in his photo, are definitely one in a million BMW."

"I've only ridden a donkey, I'm afraid I can't ride a horse."

"It's fine." Shen Guang smiled slightly and said, "We have some tools that can make people calm and stable, as long as they are bold." ”

At this time, Yuan Tiangang, who had become a military doctor, ran over with a tired face.

In the war of the cold weapon era, not many soldiers died on the battlefield, and the vast majority of them died without reasonable treatment. This is a big headache for all armies.

The point is that a war is fought for at least two or three hours, and the wounded soldiers also need to endure for so long, and some of the seriously wounded soldiers die of excessive blood loss, and some die of wound infection, and it is almost difficult to survive until the end of the war. Lightly wounded soldiers are also dragged into serious injuries, and if this problem is not solved, there will be very few wounded soldiers who will survive.

In this short but fierce battle, although the Sui and wing coalition forces achieved brilliant results, the stubborn counterattack of the Tang army also made them pay a heavy price of 2,000 killed and 4,000 wounded.

Ninety percent of the seriously injured were frontal warriors, and the reason why the wingmen were so miserable was entirely due to poor command, and they stupidly blocked the Tang soldiers who were desperately fleeing for their lives from the front, resulting in a tragic fight.

They are not as numerous as the Tang army, and their equipment is not as good as the Tang army, and they all rely on their brave and bloody nature.

In the face of this tragic situation, Yuan Tiangang, who led the team, blamed himself very much, and after the end of the war, he took on the post of military doctor, and took soldiers who knew some medical skills to treat him, and he was busy until the afternoon before it was barely over.

After listening to Yuan Tiangang's report, Shen Guang frowned and said: "This place is not suitable for a long time, we must withdraw to a safe place as soon as possible, and the bamboo forest is easy to burn, if it is burned back by the Tang army, we will be miserable." ”

"We have thousands of prisoners, as well as Li Yuan's sons and daughters, the Tang army doesn't dare to set fire, right?" The word "bar" actually proves that Yuan Tiangang has no confidence.

"What Li Yuan cares about is his throne, as long as he can wipe us out and rebuild the morale of the army, he can do anything." Shen Guang paused for a moment, and then said: "He has so many children, and he won't care about a few deaths." ”

Yuan Tiangang sighed and said with a wry smile: "Although we have brought enough medicine, it is not difficult for lightly injured soldiers to be bandaged with medicine, in fact, people can also do it." But there are too many seriously injured soldiers, their wounds are huge, and people who don't know how to do medical skills can't deal with them at all, the key is that their injuries are not stable, once we are in a hurry to march, the wounds will rupture, and the gods will be difficult to save. ”

Shen Guang said: "The imperial army has a complete medical system, which should be able to solve all problems quickly. ”

Yuan Tiangang hurriedly asked, "What system?" ”

"First of all, about wound cleaning, we used to wash with water, and then bandage with medicine, but in the hot summer, the wound is easy to suppurate, if there is a heavy rain, the soldiers who have lost too much blood will die of chills and fever, and then we switched to boiling salt water to clean, but the effect is still not ideal, so we use spirits to clean the wound, and the cloth used to bandage is also a clean white cloth, instead of tearing off the strips of cloth from the already dirty clothes, so that almost all the lightly wounded soldiers survived."

"What about seriously injured soldiers with big knife cuts?" Yuan Tiangang hurriedly asked.

Shen Guang said: "Like sewing clothes, the wound is sutured with needles and threads boiled in salt water and soaked in spirits, and then bandaged with medicine, so as to avoid the wound from cracking again, and when the wound heals, the thread is cut off and withdrawn...... In addition, a marching hospital was set up at the rear of the battlefield, and as soon as the wounded soldiers were retired, the military doctors would re-examine them, and if they were inappropriate, they would be re-treated. ”

"Since the method said by the general is effective, it must not be wrong. But how do you have so many people who know how to heal? ”

"Most of the wounded soldiers are traumatized, and there are only five steps of cleaning, suturing, medication, bandaging, and decoction during treatment, and these five steps are almost useless in medical skills. Shen Guang said.

When Yuan Tiangang heard this, he was furious and said, "Then why didn't you say it earlier." ”

"These methods are very ordinary, we have promoted them for several years, and everyone is accustomed to them..."Shen Guangxu said aggrievedly: "I see that you are so positive, I thought you would... After all, you're a god. ”

"I'm not a god." Yuan Tiangang left in a huff.

"Blue Girl, where does the water lead? If we go against the current, can we go to the winged king's village? Shen Guang asked Lan Xue'er.

Lan Xue'er thought for a moment and said: "As long as we walk more than 100 miles, we will meet a lot of small winghouses, and every year when they 'eat the new festival', their villagers will go to the wing-king village, and there must be a shortcut to the wing-king village." ”

"That's going to do it."

Shen Guang laughed, and he was completely relieved.

If the Tang army attacked on a large scale, the seriously injured soldiers could take refuge in the winged village, while the others relied on the mountainous area to harass and annihilate the invading enemy without worries.

"I don't know anything, and I ask the general to solve my doubts." At this time, Yuan Ziyan asked.

Shen Guang asked, "What's the problem?" You said. ”

"The Sui army is huge, and it is completely capable of destroying the pseudo-Tang Dynasty neatly. But the saint did not take Yizhou in one go, but let the general lead the division to fight, I don't understand, does the general know? The tragic war was beyond Yuan Ziyan's expectations, and she hoped that the world would soon return to quiet.

"Your question, in fact, the imperial court has always been controversial, but in the end, a consensus was reached that it was in the interests of the Great Sui to maintain the split and let the puppet Tang court exist temporarily."

"Why?"

"Although Yizhou is rich, due to the inconvenience of transportation, it has been a concentration of derogatory courtiers since ancient times, and these people used their previous connections and personal wisdom to gradually develop their families into local wealthy families, and their loyalty to the Great Sui Dynasty can be imagined."

Shen Guang said with a smile: "Another Yizhou force hostile to the Great Sui is the Guanlong nobles, because Yizhou is close to Guanzhong, the Guanlong nobles are mostly placed here as land property, when Li Yuan was defeated in Guanzhong, the children of the Guanlong nobles mostly served in Yizhou, although the two major forces fought fiercely in the open and secret, but they had a common enemy, that is, the implementation of the 'Juntian system' of the Great Sui. Because as long as the Great Sui enters Shu, everything will come to naught, so these two forces are cooperating with Li Yuan, doing their best to spread unfavorable rumors, and smear the image of the Great Sui among the people, and the people believe it is true. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Ziyan was still a little puzzled: "Now that the Guanlong nobles and local wealthy families have been brutally bloodbathed by the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, if we take Yizhou in one fell swoop, what will happen?" ”

"The fields of the Guanlong nobles and local wealthy families were distributed by Li Yuan to the local poor people, and the people's support for the puppet Tang Dynasty has reached an unprecedented height." Shen Guang said very patiently: "It is easy to take Yizhou, it is difficult to fight for the hearts of the people, it is not impossible for us to win Yizhou, but how can we maintain the stability of Yizhou after we take it?" If the remnants of the puppet Tang Dynasty secretly stirred up trouble, the people would surely rise up to fight, and the Great Sui court would fall into the quagmire of endless war, powerless to look around. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Guang glanced at Yuan Ziyan, and when he saw that she had an understanding, he continued: "As long as the puppet Tang Dynasty is still there, then Li Yuan will inevitably maintain a large army in order to deal with the Great Sui Xiongshi, which also means that he needs to forcibly conscript the people into the army and increase taxes, so that the people of Yizhou hate the puppet Tang Dynasty and rise up to resist, eliminating the possibility of the Li family's revival. As long as the policy is appropriate and honest officials are appointed, the people of Yizhou will obey the orders of the imperial court, instead of being deceived and rebelled. In this way, the territory and the hearts of the people will be truly unified. ”

Yuan Ziyan suddenly realized: "Thank you for the inspiration of the general, I understand now, I was short-sighted before." ”

"Things have to be done step by step, and there must be no urgency. However, after last night's battle, Li Yuan's strength was greatly reduced, and after arriving in Chengdu, he could only drink to quench his thirst and squeeze the people, which also showed that he would be finished soon. ”

......At this time, a wingman warrior came from afar and said loudly to Qin Zhan, who "tamed" the horse, "The dog emperor of the Tang Dynasty has Xiao Yu as his envoy and wants to make peace with us." ”

"I can fight, if I fight and play tricks, I can't play them at all, the Han people are cunning, it's better for the Han people to come forward." Qin Zhan, who was sweating profusely, ran over and said to Shen Guang, "Go back to you." ”

Shen Guang laughed when he heard this, and said, "We are fighting in the name of the bureaucrats, and it is inconvenient for me to come forward, and the Qin Zhan brothers are upright, and they are indeed not the best candidates for negotiation." It's up to the Blue Maiden to deal with it. ”

"Me? I can't either. Lan Xue'er shook her head again and again and refused: "I'm very stupid, I can't say that I can say that I am a cunning Han person." ”

"The initiative is in our hands, you just need to blackmail the Tang Dynasty envoys according to the conditions I set, by the way, you can only let 20% at most. In addition, Li Yuan was also asked to punish Li Yuanji, the culprit, and gouge out one of his eyes. Otherwise, we will continue to make trouble......" Shen Guang listed the conditions one by one.

"Okay then." Lan Xue'er nodded violently, especially the request to dig Li Yuanji's eyes, which made her feel so happy.
