"Father, son is incompetent, let Li Deming escape!" In Tuoyuan Village, Cao Yu asked Cao Wei with a ashamed face, such good ambush conditions for Ghost Horse Road, but he still let Li Deming escape under his nose, which made him feel a little shameless to come back.

"That's it, Li Deming's life shouldn't be extinguished, it's not your fault!" Cao Wei waved his hand very generously, in fact, although Cao Ma failed to leave Li Deming, he also fought quite well in the Ghost Horse Road, and the party members finally left more than 3,000 corpses before escaping, not counting the injured party members, so Cao Ma They also made a great contribution this time.

"Didn't Li Deming get shot in the chest, and I heard that it was quite serious, the lead pill is poisonous, if it is not treated in time, maybe it will be difficult for him to return to Xingzhou Nest alive." At this time, Li Zhang, who was next to him, also said with a smile, during this time, he also had a better understanding of the backward medical conditions of this era, so he was not optimistic about Li Deming's injury.

"Yes, in addition, no matter whether Li Deming lives or dies, this time he came with an army of 30,000, but in the end he only brought back a few thousand remnants of the defeated generals, the party is not monolithic, this time not only the vitality is greatly damaged, but there may even be civil strife, and even the party item changes hands is not impossible." Cao Wei also spoke again at this time.

Originally, Cao Wei did not expect much from this battle, but he just hoped that a battle would bring peace to the northwest for five years, but the results of this battle were far beyond his expectations, the party lost so many troops, not only temporarily solved the threat of the party, but also deterred other tribes outside the country, and even the Liao State had to send people to investigate, I am afraid that no one would dare to come to the border of the Great Song Dynasty to make trouble in ten years.

In addition to the ambush of the Ghost Horse Road, the night attack under the personal command of Cao Wei was also very fruitful, not only directly defeated the main force of the party, but also captured countless grain and grass materials, together with the people of the Great Song Dynasty who were taken away by the party before, they were also rescued, and the prisoners of war of the party were as high as more than 5,000 people, and the mines around the border were finally not short of people.

That night, Cao Wei also rewarded the three armies in Tuoyuan Village, and the good wine and meat in the inventory were all laid out and allowed to be eaten by the soldiers, Li Zhang also congratulated Cao Yu and Huyan for keeping his promises, but he stayed at the celebration banquet for a while and left, mainly because he is now temporarily in charge of the wounded barracks, and other places can celebrate, but the wounded barracks are busy, after all, after every battle, the wounded barracks are the most lively place.

Compared with the previous wounded barracks, now after the reorganization of the wounded barracks has been much better, after the wounded soldiers are carried in, there are apprentices immediately for them to clean the wounds, if the injury is not serious, these apprentices can bandage them to stop the bleeding, if it is serious, will be sent to the medical officer, according to different injuries for treatment, such as deep knife and arrow wounds may need to use wound suturing, if it is a fracture or internal injury, then the bone is fixed, plus Chinese medicine to take it internally, this aspect of Chinese medicine still has advantages.

Looking at the neat and orderly wounded soldiers' camp, Li Zhang also felt much more comfortable, now he doesn't need to go down to the field to stitch up the wounds for the wounded soldiers, in fact, although he understands medical skills, but because of the lack of instruments and medicines, his medical skills can't play much at all, and he may not be as good as ordinary doctors in real terms.

Li Zhang inspected the wounded barracks for a while, and then he was ready to go back to rest, but on the way back, he happened to pass by the barracks where the party prisoners of war were held, and looked at the sluggish party people inside, their faces were now only numb and confused, and there was no fierceness on the battlefield before, I am afraid they would never have dreamed that if the original historical development was followed, the party members for decades would have made the Song and Liao countries suffer a big loss, and they had to admit the establishment of Western Xia.

"It's a pity, it would be more perfect if Li Deming was here, even if he brought back a human head, it would be a lot less trouble!" Li Zhang stood outside and looked at these party prisoners of war, and then couldn't help but whisper, although he had spoken out to comfort Cao Yu and Hu Yan for keeping his word, he still felt a little sorry for Li Deming's escape.

Just when Li Zhang was thinking about Li Deming's head, in a valley a few miles away from Tuoyuan Village, there was also a person who said with the same emotion: "So many people died on the ghost horse road, why didn't you die there, why don't you old guy die there, and now you have to trouble me to do it myself!" ”

It was none other than Li Deming's son Li Chengyu who made such an emotion, since he was abandoned by Li Deming on the Ghost Horse Road and escaped by luck, Li Chengyu made up his mind in his heart that he must not let Li Deming return to Xingzhou alive.

Especially now that Li Deming is seriously injured, he has been unconscious since he escaped from the ghost horse road, although there are doctors in the army, but he is helpless against his injuries, causing people in the army to panic, this is also a good time for him to start, as long as he is careful, no one will notice.

However, when he started, Li Chengyu still had a very important thing to do, that is, to find a helper for himself, because he knew very clearly that he was too young and was not valued before, so even if Li Deming died, I am afraid that those real power factions within the party would not obey his orders, and now he has to find a powerful helper, and this helper is the baa sheep who saved his life.

Baa Yangqi is Li Chengyu's own uncle, and he is usually highly valued by Li Deming, and he also has a great reputation within the party, as long as he is willing to help himself, then after killing Li Deming, he can easily ascend to the position.

Thinking that the power of the party was about to fall into his hands, Li Chengyu couldn't help but feel hot all over, so after nightfall, he found an opportunity to quietly sneak out of the cave where Li Deming was recuperating, because they were so embarrassed when they escaped that they even lost their tents, but fortunately they found this valley, which contained several shallow caves that could allow them to live temporarily, otherwise all of them could only sleep in the wild.

Baa Yangqi is one of Li Deming's most important ministers, and naturally has the right to live in the cave, after Li Chengyu came to the cave, he saw Baa Yangqi cleaning his wounds, and he was also shot a few times, fortunately, he was not injured in the critical position, and there was armor to block it, plus he was strong, so it was not a big deal.

"Uncle, I'll help you!" Li Chengyu also hurriedly stepped forward at this time, and then took the kettle in his hand and began to help him clean up the blood stains on the wound.

"Chengyu, why are you here, how is the prince now?" Seeing that his nephew was so filial, Baa Yangqi couldn't help but smile with relief at the moment.

"My father is still in a coma, and the doctor has helped him take out the projectile in his chest, but he has shed a lot of blood, and now Huyan is also very weak, no one knows if he can survive this hurdle." Li Chengyu helped Baa Yangqi clean up his wounds at this time, and then tore off a piece of silk cloth from his body to bandage him.

Hearing that Li Deming was still unconscious, Baa Yangqi couldn't help sighing, and then looked at Li Chengyu and asked: "How is your injury, I saw that you were still a little lame when you walked just now, and there will be no root cause left, don't be like your eldest brother!" ”

"I'm fine, I'm lucky, although I was shot in the leg, I didn't bleed too much, and I was fine when I took out the projectile, but the injury in this arm was more serious, and I didn't need my strength for the time being." Li Chengyu smiled again at this time, he thought he was going to die when he was shot in the leg, but when he came back, he found that the injury was not serious, but there was an extra blood hole in the leg, and it was estimated that it would take a while to recover.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Baa Yangqi finally relieved his heart when he heard this, speaking of Li Yuanhao's injury, Baa Yangqi was also keenly aware that this was a great opportunity, especially Li Yuanhao became very decadent by this blow, and he saw hope, if Li Deming died in the future, maybe the power of the party would fall into the hands of his nephew, which was also one of the reasons why he risked his life on the battlefield to save Li Chengyu.

"Uncle, I have something I want to discuss with you!" At this time, Li Chengyu hesitated for a moment, and then finally said in a low voice, when he said this, he also looked at the other people in the cave, this cave is where Ba Yangqi lives, but in addition to him, there are also the guards around Ba Yangqi, although these people are all people from the Baa Yang tribe, but Li Chengyu still can't trust them.

Seeing Li Chengyu's appearance, Baa Yangqi immediately understood what he meant, and immediately waved his hand to let the others exit the cave, and even let the two henchmen guard outside the cave, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Uncle, now that the eldest brother is crippled, and the third brother is still young, if my father really can't wake up, I'm afraid I will have to take on the heavy responsibility of the party, but I'm worried that I'm a small person, and I'm afraid that others won't obey my orders." Li Chengyu got straight to the point at this time.

Baa Yangqi was first shocked when he heard Li Chengyu's words, and then he was overjoyed, and immediately said: "You can rest assured about this matter, as long as you ascend to the throne of King Xia, our Bayang Department will definitely fully support you!" ”

"I knew that my uncle would definitely support me, and I was relieved to have your words, uncle!" Li Chengyu also showed an ecstatic expression at the moment and said, what he was waiting for was the words of Bayangqi, the Bayang Department is also a large tribe of tens of thousands of people in the party, as long as they have their support, they will have some confidence in controlling the party.

got the promise of Baa Yangqi, Li Chengyu's heart was also like a big stone falling to the ground, and then he helped the other party bandage the wound, and chatted with the other party for a few more words before saying goodbye and returning to the cave where Li Deming lived, because there were too few caves, Li Deming was seriously injured, so Li Chengyu, who was his son, also lived here, so that he could take care of him at any time, but no one would have thought that Li Chengyu would return here with a murderous heart at this time.
