Chapter 114: Wounded and Sick Camp
Because of the information brought by Zhuge Jin, the voices in the tent were divided into two factions.
Xiang Lang believed that he should return to the west and stick to Shangyong and Fangling; And Guan Ping thinks that Lu Xun may not be the opponent, and he should fight to the death.
The two of them seemed to be in harmony with each other, and they quarreled and quarreled.
It was precisely because of the news revealed by Zhuge Jin that Jiang Wei was in a bad mood and a little impatient, so he simply walked out of the camp to relax.
He knew that in history, after LΓΌ Meng occupied Jiangling City and captured Guan Yu, Sun Quan did come to Jingzhou. But what he didn't know was that Sun Quan actually brought so many troops with him!
In his original plan, after breaking through the siege network of Maicheng, LΓΌ Meng's strength must have been greatly damaged, and he may not be able to stop his 5,000-strong army from returning to the west.
However, if Sun Quan leads the army to come, Lu Xun can rest assured that he will lead 20,000 troops to Yidu and Yiling to block the front. With Jiangling City's impregnable city defense, LΓΌ Meng led thousands of people to sit on the defense, which was enough to wait for Sun Quan to arrive.
The situation was a little beyond expectations, and Jiang Wei only felt a little caught off guard.
He walked aimlessly through the camp until he came to a fire around which a group of soldiers were warming themselves and eating.
When he saw that the soldiers were devouring and eating happily, he couldn't bear to disturb them, so he wanted to leave.
One of the soldiers recognized him, pointed with his hand, and said excitedly: "General Jiang! It's General Jiang! The rest of the soldiers around him turned their heads to look, and when they recognized him, they all rushed up in surprise and surrounded him.
"General Jiang is good!"
"Has General Jiang eaten it?"
In the troubled times, the low-level soldiers were all farmers, and their words were simple and honest, and they were not half fancy. But to Jiang Wei's ears, these simple words are the most beautiful praise.
He walked up to the soldier who had first found himself, patted him on the shoulder, and casually said a few words of encouragement. Unexpectedly, the soldier's flattered expression suddenly jumped with joy.
After chatting a few more words, Jiang Wei said goodbye here. It's just that his identity has been recognized, and everywhere he goes, the soldiers along the way will stand up and salute.
This is because there are three battles in a row, and all three are big victories, Guan Yu is sitting in the camp, he leads the soldiers to rush to the front, and now the soldiers and generals in the army are all convinced of him, and they are proud to talk to him.
Jiang Wei was infected by the soldiers, and his heart was naturally very moved, but when he thought that the way home was not smooth, he was really not sure that he would be able to break through smoothly, and his mood was a little heavy for a while.
He wandered aimlessly, and before he knew it, he had reached a large tent at the back of the camp.
Suddenly, a surprised woman's voice sounded: "General Jiang? How did you get here? β
Jiang Wei followed the prestige, but saw Guan Yinping wearing a man's clothes and walking briskly towards him.
After a day's battle, Jiang Wei had no distractions, his mind was full of arranging troops and defeating the enemy, and he almost forgot about the third young lady who had been with him for more than ten days.
"It's Miss Three, I'm just going to walk around and have a look......"
Jiang Wei greeted and looked up, only to see that the surrounding fence was covered with bloodstained linen ties, and there was a faint smell of rancid blood. His heart moved, and he asked:
"Hey, this is the injury camp, how can the third lady be here?"
Guan Yinping walked to Jiang Wei's side, and Ying Ying saluted:
"The soldiers were all seriously injured for the sake of my father, and I can't rest assured that they are here to help take care of them today."
"The third lady is really kind-hearted."
Guan Yinping shook his head lightly, frowned, and said: "I only hate that I don't know medical skills, and I can't help Mr. Shi...... General Jiang knew that from noon to now, there were dozens of soldiers who couldn't stand it......"
She spoke abruptly about the death of the wounded after the war, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.
Jiang Wei proposed, "Why don't you take me to see it." β
The general's visit to the wounded soldiers was also the proper meaning of the question, Guan Yinping nodded lightly, and introduced Jiang Wei into the wounded camp.
Different from the jubilant mood after the victory in the foreign war, the barracks of the wounded and sick battalion gathered more than 100 wounded soldiers, and the lamentations of the wounded filled the ears, and the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.
A huge barracks, only Shi Bin walked through during the period. He looked left and right, but he couldn't help but shake his head.
There was a rancid smell in the air. Although the four walls of the tent are lit with oil lamps, they are lined by empty tents, which makes it even more dark and deserted.
Jiang Wei only stood in the barracks for a while, and he felt cold, and his life span seemed to be shortened by half.
Shi Bin saw Guan Yinping waving to him from a distance, and immediately walked on foot. He recognized Jiang Wei as the chief general of the reinforcements, and hurriedly gave a salute.
Doctors are a profession that saves lives and helps the wounded, and Jiang Wei respects it very much, so he also solemnly returned the salute before asking: "Dare to ask Mr. Shi, I don't know what the casualties of our army are?" β
Shi Bin replied: "At present, there are about 400 brothers left, and about 500 people are injured. β
Jiang Wei was a little surprised, according to his understanding, the casualty ratio in the era of cold weapons should be very different, if it is said that more than 400 people were killed and more than 1,000 people were injured, it is barely reasonable, but I don't know why the result that Shi Bin said was not the same as he expected in his heart.
Seeing his expression change, Shi Bin knew what he was thinking, and explained: "In fact, there are really not many real deaths. At that time, there were more than 600 wounded soldiers who were brought to the wounded and sick camp for treatment, but many of them were seriously injured and could not survive and left one after another...... Moreover, some people who were slightly injured and could still walk around were afraid of taking advantage of the bad luck and did not want to stay here for a long time, so they went back to find their own queue after being roughly bandaged. β
This explanation is reasonable, Jiang Wei slowly bowed his head: "In this way, it will be hard for Mr. Shi to properly treat his injured brother." β
Guan Yinping also pleaded: "I implore Mr. Shi to be kind." β
Shi Bin sighed and said: "The heart of the doctor's parents, the old decay will naturally not be saved when he dies." It's just that there is a shortage of manpower here, and the old man only has one pair of hands and one pair of feet, so he can't properly take care of these many wounded; Well, the wounded still need to live and recuperate, and this is a wilderness and a place to be raised. β
Jiang Wei knew that what he said was true, nodded, and was about to ask again, but heard a hesitant call from beside him.
"Ginger... Jiang Zuocheng? β
Yulin Zuocheng is Jiang Wei's own position, 'Jiang Zuocheng' is the unique name of Yulin Lang, except for them, the general soldiers are called General Jiang.
When Jiang Wei heard such a shout, he knew that the person who spoke was his old subordinate who he brought out of Shuzhong. Follow the sound now. He bent down beside the man, held his hand, and answered, "Yes, I'm Jiang Wei, and I'm here to visit you." β
When the wounded man heard this, his desperate expression suddenly burst into hope, and he shouted excitedly: "Jiang... Jiang Zuocheng, the villain is Jiang Shang of the last word Tun, you... Do you remember me? β
The light was dim, Jiang Wei only felt that although the person in front of him was bloodstained, he looked very familiar, and when he looked closer, he recognized that this person was indeed Yu Linlang, a member of Shen Fengtun.
"Oh, it's Jiang Shang, Ben Jiang naturally remembers. Don't move, let me see the damage. β
Jiang Wei said a few words of relief, and was about to investigate carefully.
Shi Bin came to Jiang Wei and sighed: "The general doesn't have to look at it anymore, this person was shot in the leg and abdomen, I'm afraid that he can't be saved." β
Jiang Shang's expression was originally a little relaxed, but after hearing this, he became angry again, and scolded: "You... You fart! Lao Tzu is good, how... Why can't you call it unsavable? β
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Wei's shirt tightly, and shouted mournfully: "Jiang Zuocheng, I... I'm fine, I'm really fine! β
Jiang Wei hurriedly comforted: "I believe in you, don't panic." β
Jiang Shang said to himself: "Jiang Zuocheng, the brother in Fang Caitun came to visit the villain and said that the Wu army cut the back road of our army. In this way, if you want to break through, you will never be able to piggyback on us and other burdens......"
As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes: "But... But there are still parents at home waiting for the villain to come home, you... You can't leave me here! Please take me home! β
