The Romance of the Famous Marshals of the Early Tang Dynasty Li Jichuan

Chapter Forty-Six: What a Military Doctor Can Do?

Leaving the backyard weapons team, Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile to Shan Xiongxin as he walked: "Brother Shan, I just want to stare at Xu Squirrel's iron Huaxia stick in the past two days, and I forgot to prepare my masked scarf."

Shan Xiongxin asked with a smile, "Brother Xu, what kind of mask do you want?" The Condor Dart Bureau will come tomorrow at noon, and there is still half a day, so I'll help you prepare.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: "Single brother, the last time I used a masked towel was when I was thirteen years old when I went home to see my mother, in a forest five miles away from the county seat, I and the housekeeper Xu Quan turned a corner, and vaguely saw three men pulling two women in the distance.

I hurriedly said, "Butler, quickly find a cloth for the young master to mask." ”

"Young master, there is no cloth." Butler Xu Quan replied.

I hurriedly said: "Take off the big hexagram, tear off your sleeves and cover the young master." ”

The housekeeper Xu Quan took off the big hexagram, grabbed the shoulder of the big hexagram with one hand, and the cuff of the shoulder of the big hexagram with the other, and raised it high. I took out the sword, swiped lightly on the shoulder of the big hexagram, my sword was still sheathed, and took the big hexagram sleeve handed over by the housekeeper Xu Quan, while covering the big hexagram sleeve on my face, only exposing my two eyes, and tying it behind my head.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said: "I only used the masked towel this time, and the master didn't let me show off my martial arts in front of people, and I never fought with anyone again."

Shan Xiongxin asked with a smile, "Brother Xu, what size do you want to use this masked scarf?"

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) replied with a smile: "Brother Shan, when I was thirteen years old, the butler Xu Quan's big hexagram sleeves were covered on his face, and only his two eyes were exposed, tied at the back of his head. Now I'm afraid that the butler Xu Quan's big hexagram sleeves are not long enough. ”

Shan Xiongxin asked with a smile: "Brother Xu, you and Brother Xu Mouse go back to the room to have a good rest, I will go back and ask the soldiers to prepare a mask for you, tomorrow morning I will take the mask to your room, can you try to fit the size?" If it's not suitable, just change it before you change it. ”

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: "Brother Shan Xiongxin, how hard you have worked."

After speaking, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Maogong (Li Ji), and Xu Mouse went back to their rooms to rest.

Early in the morning of the twelfth day, after getting up, Xu Maogong (Li Ji) had finished washing and was reading the military book when someone knocked on the door.

Xu Rat opened the door and saw that it was: Shan Xiongxin.

Xu Mouse said with a smile: "The second master is good, please come into the house."

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "Brother Xu Mouse is good."

After speaking, Shan Xiongxin walked into the room, walked in front of Xu Maogong (Li Ji), took out a masked towel, handed it to Xu Maogong (Li Ji) with both hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, the masked towel is ready, can you try the right size?"

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) took the masked towel with both hands and covered his face, revealing only his two eyes, and tied them behind his head.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: "Brother Shan Xiongxin, the size is just right."

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "Brother Xu, the two of us are the same age, I estimate that the size is about the same, I let the pro-soldier grow by two inches according to my size, it is really suitable."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) pointed to the chair next to him and said with a smile: "Brother Shan Xiongxin, please take a seat."

Shan Xiongxin sat down on the chair, and the Xu rat poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shan Xiongxin with both hands.

Shan Xiongxin took the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, when I left the room just now, I met the personal soldiers of the big boss who came to my room to inform me: An hour later, please invite you, me, and Xu Mouse to the main hall for breakfast, and at the same time discuss the matter of the battle."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: "Brother Shan Xiongxin, it's good to discuss more countermeasures."

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "Brother Xu, today must be a tough battle, don't read the military book, lie down and rest, I'll come to you in an hour, let's go to the main hall together."

After speaking, Shan Xiongxin stood up.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: "Single brother, foolish brother will rest and rest."

Shan Xiongxin smiled, walked out of the door, and went back to his room to rest.

An hour later, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Maogong (Li Ji), and Xu Mouse were invited to the main hall.

Zhai Rang, the big boss, sat in the center, and Jia Xiong stood next to him.

Zhai Rang pointed to the chair on the left and beckoned, "Young Master Xu, please take a seat." Xu Maogong (Li Ji) sat on the chair to Zhai Rang's left.

Zhai Rang pointed to the chair on the right and beckoned: "Second master, please sit, Shan Xiongxin sat on the chair on Zhai Rang's right."

Zhai Rang smiled at Xu Mouse and said, "Brother Xu Rat, please sit next to your son-in-law." Xu Rat walked over and sat down next to Xu Maogong (Li Ji).

A plate of sauced beef, a plate of sweet and sour river fish, a plate of braised pork, a plate of steamed river fish, a plate of salted peanuts, a plate of dried tofu are placed on the table, and a pair of chopsticks and a teacup are placed in front of each person.

Zhai Rang said: "The second master, Xu Gongzi, and Xu Mouse brothers, everyone has breakfast together, eat more, so that you have the strength to defeat the Condor Dart Bureau, everyone chats while eating, think about it: what else is not ready?" Or if there are any other good ideas, tell me about them.

After Zhai Rang finished speaking, he took a slice of sauced beef with chopsticks, put it in the rice bowl in front of him, took a bite of the sauced beef, ate a mouthful of rice, put down the rice bowl, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please eat, chat while eating,

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) took a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, put it in the rice bowl in front of him, took a bite of the rice, put down the rice bowl, and said with a smile: "The big boss, single brother, since the Condor Dart Bureau has invited many martial arts masters to come to challenge, it may be a tough battle, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and scratches, do you want to ask Lang Zhong in advance to prepare knife wound medicine?"

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi said it well."

Zhai Rang turned his head and asked Jia Xiong, "Mr. Jia, knife wound medicine, are you ready?" Did you find Lang Zhong? ”

Jia Xiong replied, the big boss, there is no Langzhong near Wagangzhai, and if you want to find Langzhong, you have recently gone to Weinan County to find it, usually the brothers have a headache, brain fever, bruises, and all look for the backyard barracks manager He Youwei for diagnosis and treatment, I heard that He Youwei was a famous local Langzhong before coming to Wagangzhai. ”

Zhai Rang instructed: "Soldiers, go to the barracks in the backyard quickly, and invite the steward He Youwei to the main hall."

The soldier responded: "Yes." "Turn around and go out.

A moment later, the pro-soldier led He Youwei, the steward of the barracks in the backyard, to the main hall.

Zhai Rang asked: "What's the matter, I heard that Wagangzhai was a famous local Langzhong before?"

He Youwei, the manager of the barracks in the backyard, replied, before returning to the big boss, before the small one came to Wagangzhai, he was indeed Langzhong, not to mention famous, and the big boss had won the prize.

Zhai Rang said: "What's the matter, you will be the military doctor of Wagangzhai in the future."

He Youwei, the steward of the backyard barracks, said: "Thank you, big boss."

Zhai Rang said: "At noon today, the Condor Dart Bureau invited the masters of the rivers and lakes to come to Wagangzhai to challenge, it will be a tough battle, so please rush to the gate of Qianzhai at noon."

He Youwei, the steward of the barracks in the backyard, said: "The big ones are in charge, and the small ones will arrive on time."

Zhai Rang asked, "What's the matter, do you have any knife wound medicine?"

He Youwei, the steward of the barracks in the backyard, replied: "The big boss, this ······."

Zhai Rang said: "What's the matter, if you use what knife wound medicine today?" After dinner, you go and tell Mr. Jia Xiong that I will convert the price of the medicine in the bazaar into silver for you. ”

He Youwei, the steward of the barracks in the backyard, replied: "Xie Da is in charge."

Zhai Rang said: "What's the matter, you go back to find Qi knife wound medicine, and rush to the gate of Qianzhai at noon."

He Youwei, the steward of the barracks in the backyard, said: "The big one is in charge, and the small one is going to find medicine."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Zhai Rang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Everyone, eat vegetables, eat more at noon, and fight against strong enemies, don't drink, I will treat you with tea instead of wine."

After speaking, he looked at Shan Xiongxin, and then said, "Second master, what do you think is not ready?" Or if there are any other good ideas, talk about it. ”

Shan Xiongxin said: "Big boss, I think: we are fighting in front of the Qianzhai gate, will the Condor Dart Bureau send someone to attack the Houzhai gate?" In my opinion, the bows and arrows that have been built should be distributed to the sentinels at the gate of the front and back villages.

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "The second master, this idea is good."

Zhai Rang instructed his own soldiers and said: "Personal soldiers, go to the backyard weapons team and tell Captain Gao that the front village and the back village gate outposts will each send 300 arrows, bring me a hundred arrows, and the remaining arrows will be divided equally between the two outposts in the middle village."

The soldier responded: "Yes." "Turned around and went to the backyard weapons team.

After Zhai Rang finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at Xu Ling, and then said, "Brother Xu Ling, what do you think is not ready?" Or if there's a great idea to talk about.

Xu Rat smiled and said, "Big boss, I don't have any good ideas, but I have a request of my own, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Zhai Rang smiled and said, "Brother Xu Rat, please speak."

Xu Rat looked at Xu Maogong (Li Ji), and Xu Maogong (Li Ji) nodded.

Xu Rat said: "Big boss, if I go out to help and defeat an enemy general, can you prepare six meat buns for me?"

Zhai Rang laughed after hearing this, and said: "Brother Xu Rat, as long as you go out to help, whether you win the enemy or not, I will prepare six meat buns for you tonight.

After speaking, Zhai Rang turned his head and ordered his own soldiers, and said, "Go and inform Zhai Zhangshi, prepare six meat buns for the Xu Mouse brothers tonight."

The soldier responded: "Yes." He turned around and went to inform Zhai Zhang.

Nearly noon on the twelfth day, Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Maogong (Li Ji), Xu Rat, and Jia Xiong rode horses to the gate of Qianzhai.

Captain Zhao saw from a distance: Zhai Rang and the others rode over, came down from the corner tower on a high place, ran quickly to Zhai Rang's horse and bowed, and said loudly: "The big boss is good."

Zhai Rang returned the salute with a fist, and asked with a smile: "Hello Captain Zhao, have the three hundred arrows of the backyard weapons team been delivered to you?"

Captain Zhao replied, "The second is in charge, and the three hundred arrows have been delivered half an hour ago."
