Chapter 379: To the Khan's Court

Zhao Junsheng handed over all the more than 2,000 Rouran captives to Gao Xu, who led his troops to take care of them, and urged them to build a mausoleum for Pi Lixian, with Pi Lixian's official position and status in the Rouran Khanate, which is equivalent to a prince, it is not an exaggeration to say that a mausoleum was built for him.

Pei Jin rushed over with his men, and built a fire next to the battlefield to cook ginger soup and cook.

In addition to the necessary guard posts, almost all the idle generals were arranged by Zhao Junsheng to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and collect the corpses.

Zhao Junsheng wrote a good news in the tent that originally belonged to Pi Lixian, and just sent someone to send it out, he saw Gao Xiu walk in and report: "Dutong, the brothers found a Taoist priest fleeing west from this direction ten miles away, so they stopped him, he said that he was familiar with you, and his subordinates brought him!" ”

"Daoist?" Zhao Junsheng thought about it, in terms of Taoism, he only had a one-sided relationship with Gu Qianzhi and a few of his apprentices, Gu Qianzhi should be by the side of Emperor Tuoba Tao at this time, could it be that this Taoist priest is Gu Qianzhi's apprentice?

"Bring him in!"

Gao Xiu turned around and clapped his hands, and a Taoist priest walked in with a whisk of dust, followed by two soldiers.

The Taoist priest made a mockery to Zhao Junsheng: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, poor and polite!" ”

Zhao Junsheng put down the brush and looked at it, got up and walked to the Taoist priest to observe carefully, pointed to the Taoist priest and said, "You are not the one you were at the beginningΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Is Jade Interpretation Long? What's the name of your layman? ”

"I can't imagine that Du Wei still remembers Poor Dao, Poor Dao's common family name is Dongfang, Mingchen!"

"Yes, yes, Dongfang Chen!" Zhao Junsheng remembered, "No, why are you here?" ”

Dongfang Chen's face was embarrassed, "After the poor road left Jinling, he kept going north, walked through all parts of the desert, and then bypassed the desert and came to the north of the desert, passing through countless Rouran tribes, these Rouran people are very enthusiastic about the poor road, and after he walked to the jurisdiction of Pi Lixian, he was able to look at the poor road and ask the poor road for Taoist learning, and the poor road stayed. This time, Pi Li first went to the Khan's court to congratulate his mother on her birthday, his mother was not in good health, and when she heard that Poor Dao knew a little about the art of Qihuang, she took Poor Dao with her, who knew that she had met the soldiers and horses of Lord Duwei! ”

"I see!" Zhao Junsheng nodded, thinking about it and feeling wrong, "But even if you are with Pi Li first, what are you running?" ”

Dongfang Chen smiled embarrassedly: "Although Poor Dao is by Pi Lixian's side, he didn't give him advice, but if he is caught, Poor Dao can't tell a hundred mouths, so when Pi Li first and they were surrounded, Poor Dao sneaked away from the camp tent, if he knew that this time it was Du Wei who commanded the troops, Poor Dao would have come directly to see Du Wei!" ”

"Okay, I'll trust the Taoist for now!" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he remembered something again, "What you just said you just said that you know a little bit about the art of ambiguity?" There are a lot of wounded in our army, and there is an epidemic in the camp on the riverside, and I ask the Taoist to help! ”

Gotcha, I've been caught again!

Dongfang Chen was helpless for a while, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree: "With a show of hands, do you dare to do your best?" ”

It was important to save people, Zhao Junsheng was not polite to him, and instructed Gao Xiu: "Go and get some food for the Dongfang Daoist, and send a few soldiers to follow the Daoist to obey his call!" ”

As soon as Dongfang Chen heard this, he thought that it was okay now, and he couldn't run away if he wanted to, saying that he was listening to him, but in fact, he was spying on him.

"Yes, Totong!" After Gao Xiu agreed, he asked someone to find something to eat.

Zhao Junsheng's baggage battalion also has a few medical craftsmen and some medical soldiers, these medical craftsmen's medical skills can only be regarded as average, can only see some minor diseases, major diseases can not be seen, after such a long time of study and training, the medical soldiers are relatively skilled and professional in first aid and wound treatment, but they can not treat more serious injuries.

With Dongfang Chen joining, there are enough medicinal materials, and the diagnosis and treatment of the wounded soldiers is much faster, and the injuries of many wounded have been controlled in time.

In the evening of the same day, Zhao Junsheng and Bu Liugu led the army back to the riverside camp to return to the Yongchang king Tuoba Jian.

"I am fortunate not to be dishonored, and I came to repay the prince with General Buliugu!"

Tuoba Jian laughed and looked up: "No courtesy, no courtesy, both of you get up!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Tuoba Jian said with a smile: "This king has read your battle report, this battle is thrilling, the two of you are very good in command and disposal in the battle, avoiding further casualties, solving the great trouble of our army, killing more than 5,000 people at the cost of more than 2,000 people, capturing 2,000 people, this loss is worth it!" This king has ordered the preparation of wine and meat to reward the soldiers, you go down first to settle the soldiers to rest, and after an hour someone will send the wine and meat over! ”

"Thank you for the generous reward of the soldiers!"

The two came out of the tent and separated, Zhao Junsheng returned to the camp and took Dongfang Chen to the patient isolation area to find the medical officer Gu Bingtang.

"It turned out to be Zhao Dutong, I don't know why Dutong is looking for the lower official?" Gu Bingtang walked to the door of the quarantine area and asked Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng pointed to Dongfang Chen and introduced: "This is the Taoist of Jade Interpretation, proficient in medical skills, he has been in Mobei for a while, and has diagnosed and treated some epidemic patients, Bendu will take him over to see if he can help Doctor Gu!" ”

It is not uncommon for Taoist priests to see a doctor, many Taoist priests and Shamen in this era are very good at curing diseases, such as Ge Hong, an immortal in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is a doctor and Taoist, but if it is said that if you want to diagnose and treat epidemics, not everyone can cure them.

Gu Bingtang looked at Dongfang Chen, and he didn't think about it, but Dongfang Chen was brought by Zhao Junsheng, and he didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, he smiled and bowed his hand to Dongfang Chen: "This official is short of manpower here, and he has been helpless against this epidemic, since Daoist Yu is proficient in medical skills and has been in Mobei for a while, there must be a way, and this matter will be troublesome Dao Chang!" ”

Dongfang Chen smiled and returned the salute: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Poor Dao will do his best!" ”

Waiting for Gu Bingtang to bring Dongfang Chen into the quarantine area, Zhao Junsheng stood at the door for a while and was about to leave, but saw a woman with a face covered with gauze coming over.

"Why are you here? It's not very safe here, and you can get infected with the epidemic at any time, so you might as well leave quickly! ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "How are you here?" Are you used to it? ”

"My sisters and I are not skilled in medicine, and we can't help in the diagnosis and treatment of this epidemic, so we can only try our best to take care of the sick soldiers and make them less painful! As for those who are not used to it, it is actually okay, since they have come here, they cannot go out until this epidemic is cured. We can't practice in a Zen monastery anymore, but now that we can enter the world to practice, how can we reduce some of the suffering of the sick? ”

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "You can see it!" General Wan was willing to send you in, and I don't know what he thinks! ”

"Grandpa naturally didn't let me in, I insisted on coming to take care of the patients!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't know what to say to Wan Yutong, "You stay with patients all day long, and you are the most likely to contract the epidemic, you Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Be careful! ”

"I will!"

After two days, there was a good rest in the patient isolation area, and two patients were under control after Dongfang Chen's diagnosis and treatment, and gradually began to improve.

After this news spread, it was like a shot in the arm, and the whole army of the Eastern Route Army was greatly excited, and Tuoba Jian, the king of Yongchang, immediately ordered the use of Dongfang Chen's prescription to all patients.

After only six days, not a single new case of infection was found, while the condition of the other patients improved greatly, and a third of the patients were almost cured.

"Lord Wang, so far, the epidemic has been completely controlled, the number of people who have recovered has exceeded 1,200, and there are still 353 people left to continue to take medicine, and they are also improving, and more than 500 people have died during this period!"

Tuoba Jian was very happy after listening to Gu Bingtang's report, "Very good, even if all the remaining patients are cured, they still can't be allowed to contact normal people until these patients are cured!" ”

"Xia Guan understands!"

At this time, the strategist and lord Bo Yuji walked in and reported with a book of advice: "Lord, Your Majesty has a will!" ”

"Get it!"

Tuoba Jian took the will sent by the emperor from Yu Ji's hand, opened it and took a quick look.

"Lord Wang, if there is nothing else to do, the lower officials will go and get busy first!" Medical officer Gu Bingtang said.

"You wait!" Tuoba Jian stopped Gu Bingtang and said to him and Yu Ji: "Your Majesty said in the edict that there was an epidemic in the Western Route Army, and there was a shortage of food, so let this king send someone to send a batch of grain and grass over, and at the same time bring a group of doctors and craftsmen to treat the sick!" ”

"There was also an epidemic in the Western Route Army?" Yu Ji and Gu Bingtang were both shocked, "No, it's impossible for Your Majesty to have no medical officer by his side!" ”

Tuoba Jian nodded: "The edict will not be false, as far as this king knows, His Majesty and the army arrived in Mobei through the desert, and those medical officers are in weak health, so they must have been left in Monan." At the moment, we still have to prepare a batch of grain and grass and select some medical craftsmen to go to the Western Route Army! Gu Bingtang, you figured out the cure for this epidemic, right? This time you bring some healers! ”

Gu Bingtang arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, the lower officials are ashamed, the recipe is not customary, but a Taoist priest brought by Zhao Dutong, this person has been in Mobei for a long time and has cured some epidemics!" ”

Zhao Junsheng soon received an order to escort grain and grass to join the Western Route Army, and by the way, he also had to take Dongfang Chen and a few medical officers with him.

Zhao Junsheng happily accepted this order, this time to escort the grain and grass, he can meet with Mulan, since the separation in Shengle City, it has been two months since they have not seen each other, and the feeling of longing is increasing day by day.

Zhao Junsheng took away 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry this time, and the remaining 2,000 infantry stayed in the Eastern Route Army to take care of the housekeepers, and let Gao Xu and Pei Jin take charge.

Five hundred carts laden with grain, one hundred carts loaded with the tents of the escorts and supplies along the way, each cart was drawn by three horses, and the cavalry and infantry each had two horses to ride in turn.

"All the horses are ready!" Gao Xiu came to report.

Zhao Junsheng hugged Tuoba Jian, who came to deliver the letter: "The prince doesn't need to send it, he will resign from his humble position!" ”

"Be careful along the way!"
