In the next few days, in addition to participating in the military conference, Jiang Wei devoted himself to the preparation of the wounded and sick camp.

On the second day, Zeng Wu led his old father to join the wounded and sick battalion, and the first order they received was to teach a few clever soldiers to learn the art of leather **.

Because it was an ancestral craft, Zeng Wu was originally a little unhappy, but Jiang Weiduo promised money, and Zeng Wu pushed it half and agreed. Money can make ghosts grind, this sentence is also common in ancient and modern times.

In addition to cleaning and washing, Xiang Pet's 100 subordinates will also practice bandaging and first aid skills every day under the guidance of Shi Bin, and their skills are becoming more and more proficient.

With the increase in manpower and the improvement of the environment and food level, the wounded continued to walk out of this room, and the houses of the wounded camp gradually became empty.

Jiang Shang had a high fever after surgery, and Jiang Wei knew that fever was one of the body's own self-protective responses to external threats. In the era when there were no antibiotics, whether or not they could carry it depended on the patient's own physique.

Those who are as strong as Guan Yu can be cured immediately after treatment; There are also those who are in poor physical condition, and immediately after the operation, they are infected with a fever and die immediately.

Surgery in this day and age is inherently risky.

Also, consider whether the tip of the gun is poisonous or not. The so-called poison is probably tetanus, if the knife and gun that caused the wound have rust or soil, then with the medical conditions of this era, the wounded can basically not be saved.

Fortunately, Jiang Shang, as Yu Linlang, has a relatively strong body, and Shi Bin takes care of him day and night, so fortunately he finally survived.

After three days, his high fever gradually subsided, and he was able to eat some liquid food; Five days later, I was able to open my mouth and cry out that it hurts. Being able to cry out in pain means that he is out of danger, and he will be completely cured in a few days.

This encouraged Jiang Wei, Guan Yinping, Shi Bin, Xiang Chong, and Zeng Wu, and their enthusiasm for nursing was much higher.

On the basis of this operation, Jiang Wei and Guan Yinping started brainstorming again, recording the details of the operation and the precautions required before and after.

Jiang Wei believes that this is a big step in Shuhan's medical career, and countless people will benefit from it in the future.

At the same time, he also paid close attention to the changes in the situation, and the previous waves of rangers sent out had successively brought the latest developments in the surrounding area.

To the north of the Yangtze River, Eastern Wu originally occupied almost the entire territory of Nanjun, but by this time several cities had already been replaced with the banner of Wei.

Tanma returned, and there were constantly Wu troops escorting batches of people to migrate in the direction of Jiangling, and most of these cities were actively contracted and abandoned by Eastern Wu.

There was no large-scale conflict between Wei and Wu, and it seemed that they were all testing their own bottom lines, and in the end, the two sides roughly divided their spheres of influence with Dangyang County in the central part of Nanjun County as the boundary.

South of the Yangtze River, Wu began to invade the two counties of Lingling and Wuling. It is said that Jingzhou Zhizhong engaged in Pan Jun's surrender to Eastern Wu, and personally led the Wu army to the south.

There is also news that there are still loyal people in the two counties who defend the city and swear not to surrender.

However, the power of Shu Han has shrunk to the first line of Zigui, and before the arrival of reinforcements, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to support these loyal and righteous generals.

Because of the containment of the Wei army, Eastern Wu never attacked Zigui City again, but Guan Yu and Guan Ping still devoted themselves to the construction of Zigui City's fortifications.

In any case, Zigui has become the last exit of Shu Han in Jingzhou, and it is also the first fortress of Jingzhou to attack Yizhou, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes.

When Jiang Wei is free, he will help to patrol the city, and he will often see Guan Yu alone independent of the city, looking up at the west.

It has been nearly a month since someone was sent to Yizhou to deliver the message, and the imperial court must have known about the great changes in Jingzhou, and it must have made a decision.

Everyone knew that Yizhou would definitely send troops to come, but one thing was uncertain: whether Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, would personally lead the troops or send a general to lead the troops.

Although both are reinforcements, they are very different.

If a general leads the troops to come, then it can be judged that the imperial court has probably given up Jingzhou, and the role of reinforcements is mostly to receive Guan Yu into Shu.

But if Liu Bei personally marched, it meant that the imperial court had decided to use force against Eastern Wu.

In Jiang Wei's opinion, according to Liu Bei's strong character, he must not be able to swallow this breath, and the possibility of pro-conquest is extremely great; But considering the actual situation, less than half a year after the Battle of Hanzhong ended, did Yizhou still have enough military strength and food for a large-scale crusade against Eastern Wu?

After all, in history, Liu Bei had the confidence to launch a crusade against Eastern Wu only after two years of careful preparation and a grain accumulation of millions of stones.

Everything is unknown, as if it were the darkness before the dawn, confusing, and the dust is unsettled.

Therefore, the days are probably flowing in nervous waiting, just like the anxious and uneasy state of mind of the people in the city.

******

On the evening of the fifth day, with the sound of hurried horses' hooves, several dusty riders knocked on the tight city gate, bringing an exciting news - the king of Hanzhong decided to send troops to Jingzhou, and the army was marching down the river in turn, and the advance had reached Yufu County, and it would arrive in Zigui in three days at the earliest!

This news was like a wing, and it spread throughout the city in an instant, and the entire Zigui City seemed to be boiling, and the soldiers and civilians of the city were rejoicing and their morale was high.

Jiang Wei watched coldly, and during the emergency military meeting on this day, he noticed that Guan Yu's face was full of excitement, but his expression was mixed with seven points of guilt.

He was very able to understand Guan Yu's feelings.

When retreating to Maicheng, this famous general who is unparalleled in the world and has a high cliff bank is bent on leading his sons to survive in death, and because he hates Mi Fang and Lu Meng, so this guilt in his heart has always been covered by anger, and it is not very significant.

But after arriving in Zigui, as time passed, this feeling of guilt finally came from behind.

And after confirming the news that Liu Bei was about to lead the reinforcements to arrive, Guan Yu was grateful, and at the same time, this guilt finally overshadowed any emotion, and it was too heavy to be overcome.

He is an upright man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and he is willing to bear it with all his strength even if he commits a mortal crime; At the same time, he also knew that his brother Liu Bei had a generous temperament, and he would definitely not blame him for this incident.

The more this is the case, the more the self-blame in his heart overflows.

In any case, Jingzhou and tens of thousands of troops were eventually lost in the hands of his Guan Yu, and in Guan Yu's opinion, he had failed his brother's entrustment and had the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty.

Guan Yu finally finished three days in such a torment of anticipation, guilt, and self-blame.

******

On the 29th day of the winter of the 24th year of Jian'an (219 AD), it can be seen from the head of Zigui City to the west, a winding army is coming eastward, but seeing the banner covering the sky and the sun, the dust and sand are all over the sky, and the soldiers are full of roads.

Guan Yu left Guan Ping and Liao Hua generals to guard the city, and personally led Xiang Lang, Jiang Wei, and Guan Xingshu out of the city to greet them.

Hearing the sound of neat footsteps from far and near, the same question arose in everyone's hearts, who is the person who acts as the vanguard general?
