Chapter 4: Subtlety

Wu Shaogang passed out several times, the pain of the wound was really unbearable, he felt thrown into purgatory, his whole body was pricked by needles, unable to extricate himself, and the pain in his chest and back was frantically sucking away his vitality. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

If it weren't for his super willpower, he would have been unable to hold on to it.

When he fell again on the battlefield, a lot of information came to his mind, which was a sign of the fusion of thoughts.

At that moment, he knew he had crossed over.

Wu Shaogang didn't know that under normal circumstances, he, the defender of the Youyi Army, suffered such a serious injury, and he would have been abandoned to the side to self-destruct, but now it was different, there were two military medical officers beside him, who were doing their best to rescue.

After the wounds on the chest and back were washed, thick herbs were applied, wrapped in white gauze, and the blood had already stopped, but the wound was too big, and the bones were visible in some places.

Wu Shaogang, whose face was pale, had chapped lips, closed eyes, and a weak breath, looking similar to a person who died frequently.

However, the faces of the two military medical officers have shown a slightly relieved look, they have participated in countless battlefield rescues, from their experience, Wu Shaogang has survived, basically there will be no danger to life, the next thing is to recover slowly, they are amazed by the tenacity of Wu Shaogang's vitality, such a major and fatal wound, if other people have died a long time ago, this Wu Shaogang can still continue to fight with injuries for nearly half an hour.

The reason why the two military medical officers judged that Wu Shaogang had escaped was because in the process of rescue, Wu Shaogang woke up several times, although his expression was painful, and although Wu Shaogang's pulse was a little weak, it was stable and powerful, and there were no major ups and downs.

The pulse represents a person's lifeline, and this is a law that any military medical officer knows.

Why was Wu Shaogang, who suffered fatal wounds to his chest and back, able to survive, the two military medical officers couldn't figure it out, and they couldn't know the real reason.

A military medical officer took out a jade-colored porcelain vase from his arms, opened it with some hesitation, and walked in front of Wu Shaogang.

The other military medical officer had a surprised look on his face, and did not speak immediately, silently and gently pinching Wu Shaogang's nose.

After Wu Shaogang's mouth opened, the accompanying military medical officer poured all the liquid in the porcelain bottle into his mouth.

"My lord, this jade dew water is extremely precious, and all of it has been used, if it is blamed above..."

"Talkative, what do you know, if you can't save this Wu Shaogang, you and I won't be able to eat and walk around."

The power of the jade dew water is indeed very good, and after half an hour, Wu Shaogang's pale face began to show a trace of redness.

The military medic who had been holding the empty porcelain vase in his hand finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

"Let him rest well, you and I will work hard at night, boil some jade dew water, and continue to feed it tomorrow morning, as long as it lasts for three days, this guy's body will basically be fine, and the next thing is to slowly recuperate and recover."

The room fell silent.

The two military medical officers walked out of the house and saw Ma Gangmin, who was standing outside anxiously waiting.

The military medical officer holding the porcelain vase looked at Ma Gangmin and spoke slowly and casually.

"Ma Zhengjiang is basically fine."

"Okay, good, that's good, Medical Officer Cai, I don't know if Wu Shaogang will come to his senses tomorrow."

"It's best to wait for two days, after which there should be no problem."

A smile appeared on Ma Gangmin's face, and he clasped his fists and saluted at Doctor Cai and another military medical officer.

"Trouble the two of you to inform the marshal of Wu Shaogang's situation, and I can make arrangements, this Mr. Su is still waiting for news."

The person who was holding the porcelain vase and was called Medical Officer Cai originally looked a little indifferent, but when he heard that Mr. Su was waiting for news, the expression on his face suddenly became serious.

"Got it, please tell Mr. Su, and we'll go and report to the marshal."

It was late at night, and the surroundings of the house were unusually quiet.

Coach Zhang Sheng didn't feel the slightest sleep, and kept staring at the map on the table, in fact, by this time, the map and the sand table had no effect.

Standing beside him was Su Zongcai.

After arranging the affairs of You Yijun and Wu Shaogang, Su Zongcai quickly returned to the Assassin's Mansion, where he was needed.

Seeing Zhang Sheng looking at the map, Su Zong understood the meaning, but he wouldn't speak for the time being.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Sheng finally spoke.

"Mr. Su, I really didn't expect that the situation would evolve to this point, two months ago I got the news, Sichuan, Yuezhou and Tanzhou and other places have been attacked, I thought we had nothing to do here, who knew that this place is the focus of the Mongolian army's attack, the city is insufficient troops, it is difficult to support, fortunately, it snows heavily, the climate changes, this is God help me, but after the heavy snow...

When he said this, Zhang Sheng raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, shaking his head helplessly.

Su Zongcai thought for a moment and spoke without hesitation.

"Is the marshal worried that the Mongolian army is too fierce, or that the reinforcements from all sides will not be able to rescue."

Zheng Youpeng let out a long sigh.

"Yes, I'm just worried about these two things, more than a month ago, we got the information, Yuezhou and Tanzhou, have been captured one after another, if it weren't for the Wuliang Hetai army did not arrive in time, Batuer would have occupied all these cities and directly threatened the capital, now Batuer has evacuated Yuezhou and Tanzhou, and is on the way here, the allies are so fierce, how can the reinforcements from all sides arrive in a short time."

Su Zongcai frowned slightly, he was clear about all these situations.

"Dashuai, my subordinates think that when things come to this point, we can only stick to it desperately, stick to the city, and never relax, otherwise all the previous achievements will be wasted."

"It's easy to say, it's too difficult to do this, the troops in the city are obviously insufficient, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial court sent a large number of troops into Sichuan a few months ago, especially the urging army, it would not have been in such a predicament, and the situation in Sichuan is even more difficult to say, the actual situation in front of us is that if the Mongolian army increases its offensive, what should we do."

"The subordinates believe that whether it is Tanzhou, Yuezhou or Sichuan, they are not as important as the status of Ezhou, and the emperor and the imperial court will definitely try their best to help Ezhou, as long as the marshal can hold on for a period of time, he will be able to tide over the difficulties."

Zhang Sheng looked at Su Zongcai and shook his head with a wry smile.

"I did everything I had to do, I did my best to see the will of heaven, you also know some of the affairs of the court, we are fighting hard in front, and I don't know what many adults in the court are thinking. The Mongolian Khan Meng Ge personally led the Mongolian army to attack Sichuan, the offensive was fierce, on one side was Sichuan, on the other hand was Xiangyang, Jiangling and Ezhou and other places, the emperor and the court can be said to be overwhelmed, I don't know how to deal with it properly, but at this time, there were many changes in the court, who knows if the emperor and the court are taking into account the defense of Ezhou. ”

When Zhang Sheng said these words, Su Zongcai's body trembled slightly.

The situation in the capital is too complicated, and in the process of the game of all forces, all they think of is their own interests, although Zhang Sheng is commanding a big battle related to the life and death of the Southern Song Dynasty, but some people in the court don't care at all, they only see power, only the interests of the family, only glory and wealth.

Everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, but after their own interests are involved, many people choose to go blind.

Zhang Sheng commanded the battle and defended Ezhou to the death, and once he won the victory, he and his family could get too many benefits, which were enough to shake the pattern of the distribution of forces among all parties in the capital.

This is something that many people don't want to see.

To put it mildly, Zhang Sheng, who commanded the operation, was sitting on the crater, and he not only controlled the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, but also carried the life and death of the imperial court.

The main battle faction and the main peace faction in the court are still in the game, and even argue endlessly, and few people have mentioned the matter of recovering the Central Plains, because it can't do that, the court moved to the south, with Lin'an as the capital, so far more than a hundred years have passed, and the Jin Dynasty that has perished and the rising Mongolia, I don't know how many collegial agreements have been signed, but it is always unable to keep the peace.

The tears of the people of the Central Plains will be drained, what is the use.

Su Zongcai has been by Zhang Sheng's side for many years, and knows that Zhang Sheng is one of the best generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, repeatedly commanding battles, and winning victories.

But people can change, Su Zongcai saw with his own eyes, when the news of the fall of Yuezhou, Tanzhou and other places came, when the news of the danger of Sichuan came, when the news of the Mongolian Great Khan Hao Ge personally led the army to attack, Zhang Sheng's face was full of despair.

This never bodes well.

No general can guarantee victory in every battle, even if it is an unparalleled strategist, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but if the commander in command of the battle loses confidence, or has other ideas, it is really dangerous.

"Marshal, subordinates think that the situation of the battle can be reported to the emperor and the court as it is, not to mention this battle, the Mongolian army did its best, this is what we did not estimate, now we are in a stalemate with the Mongolian army, the victory or defeat is unpredictable, the weather is cold, the climate is abnormal, as long as we can hold on, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, the Mongolian army will be difficult to hold on for a long time."

Zhang Sheng looked at Su Zongcai, and a trace of coldness shot through his eyes.

"Mr. Su, you have been by my side for so many years, you know many things, once the city is broken, the people of the city will not be able to escape the doom, so I have to think more."

Speaking of this, Zhang Sheng stood up, lifted the map on the table, and took out a letter from below.

"This is the letter I just received, you see, I don't know why, the ominous feeling of these days has always lingered in my mind, lingering, maybe we really have to get ready."

Su Zongcai took the letter and looked at it carefully.

Before he finished reading it, Su Zongcai's body began to tremble again.

"Dashuai, how can this—how can this be done...
