"Doctor, how is my general, can you still be saved?"

After Li Shihe came out of the room, Guo Yi couldn't wait to greet him. He had been waiting outside for an hour, for fear of hearing bad news from the old man.

Li Shihe's hands were full of blood and he was also exhausted, seeing that Guo Yi was so anxious, he sighed in his heart, shook his head helplessly, and said euphemistically: "General Shi's right face has been cut off half of his flesh and blood, the injury is too serious, and the old man has tried his best, but... Alas..."

As soon as he heard this, Ma Zhong, whose face was still wrapped in gauze, became anxious, and stepped forward to hug Li Shihe and begged bitterly: "Doctor, doctor!" If you can save me, you will definitely be able to save my general! Please, no matter what, I have to revive my general, I will kneel down for you! In the next life, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will also repay your great kindness, please! After saying that, he knelt on the ground and whimpered.

"I can't do it, I can't do it, Ma Qian always please get up, please get up!" Li Shihe hurriedly wanted to help Ma Zhong up, but no matter how much he helped, Ma Zhong refused to get up. In fact, Li Shihe He Zeng didn't want to save Shi Dayong, but Shi Dayong's injuries were too serious, more serious than Ma Zhong, and his breathing was very weak at the moment.

After Jiang Wanli, who was stunned by the Hongyi cannon, woke up, he had already been carried into the city, and when he heard that the general was seriously injured and unconscious, he hurried to come regardless of his qi and blood. At this moment, with tears on his face, he stumbled forward and held Li Shihe's hand tightly, and pleaded: "Doctor, please save my general no matter what, I kneel down on behalf of the brothers to thank your boss for his kindness!" After saying that, he also knelt down.

"Doctor, save my general, my Xiao Cao will also kneel down for you!"

Cao Bianjiao outside the house couldn't cry, and behind him, dozens of wolf cavalry knelt on the ground, and everyone wept bitterly.

Seeing this, Li Shihe couldn't help but be moved, his nose was sour, and he choked up: "That's good, the old man will fight with Lord Yama, but whether General Shi can survive or not depends on his own creation." ”

………

In the governor's yamen, three white-haired old men sat opposite each other, their eyes almost staring at an official document, and no one spoke.

Among the three, Sun Chengzong is 54 years old, Qiu Hejia is 57 years old, and Zhang Chun is 63 years old. In terms of age, Zhang Chun is the biggest, but in terms of body, Zhang Chun is the best. With such a big effort, I heard Sun Qiu and the others cough several times in a row.

Among the three, only Sun Chengzong was born in Jinshi, and the teachers of Emperor Tianqi, Qiu Hejia and Zhang Chun are both famous, and compared with those big people in the court, this fame is inevitably a little tarnished. But in terms of knowing soldiers, it can be said that these three people in the hall are the most knowledgeable people in the Ming Dynasty. Sun Chengzong will not say it, during the Apocalypse, he supervised Liaodong, and when he was "the change of his own side", he commanded the army of King Qin to drive the Jin army out of the pass, and sat in Liaodong all the year round, presiding over the plan of leveling Liao, and the experience cannot be said to be not old.

Although Qiu Hejia and Zhang Chun were newcomers, they showed military talent when the Qing army entered the customs, and their performance in the reconquest of Yongping, Changping, Zunhua and other cities was remarkable. After the war, one was promoted to the governor of Liaodong, and the other was promoted to the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, which was regarded as the imperial court's recognition of the military ability of the two of them.

In fact, the commander of the Jizhen Closed Gate Army should be Sun Chengzong, but he is not in good health, this battle must be a vicious battle, for physical reasons, the cabinet excluded him when considering the commander. excluded Sun Chengzong, this second candidate should also be Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, the original candidate of the Ministry of War was also Qiu Hejia, but it was unexpectedly that Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who had always supported Qiu Hejia, was besieged by political enemies because of various illegal acts, and was forced to go into the wilderness, and the successor Xiong Mingyu was his sworn enemy, so it was naturally impossible to support Qiu Hejia as the commander-in-chief. After the last, under the appearance of the second assistant Wen Tiren, Zhang Chunlai, the young secretary of the Taifu Temple, was used as the commander of the army.

Zhang Chun's talent is not under Qiu Hejia, so although some people are dissatisfied with this appointment, thinking that a senior officer who is familiar with Liao affairs should be selected to lead the army, but the cabinet and the Ministry of War have already decided on Zhang Chun, and they have nothing to say.

It stands to reason that the rescue plan has been finalized, and the first battle has been a big victory, and the three of them are not happy, and they should immediately start to deploy the war friendship, but now the three of them are sitting there, but no one can lift their spirits.

The reason lies in the official document that had just been delivered by the horse, and the official document was sent by the Ministry of War, and there was only one content, that is, to make the Liaodong side fight quickly, and no longer reach out to the imperial court for reinforcements.

Zhang Chun brought 20,000 Jizhen soldiers and 17,000 Shanhaiguan defenders this time, a total of 37,000 people, most of whom were infantry, only 3,000 cavalry. After finalizing the plan for sending troops with Sun Chengzong and Qiu Hejia three days ago, the three of them jointly sent a note to the imperial court, requesting that the cavalry of Jizhen and the warrior battalion of the Jingshi Imperial Horse Prison come to Liaodong to participate in the rescue battle, so that the chances of victory will be greater. Who knew that Lu Dao was waiting for such an official document, and suddenly, the hearts of the three of them were cold.

The battle with the Jin army outside the city a few days ago had already told Zhang Chun that without a strong cavalry in hand as a reserve, the infantry alone would not be able to break through the Jin army's defense line. However, this official letter completely shattered his expectations, and for a while, he couldn't help himself, and he couldn't wait to ride to the capital immediately and ask those scholars what they wanted to do!

Qiu Hejia was a little absent-minded, he was secretly praying for the unconscious Shi Dayong, hoping that God would be merciful and not take away his confidant and beloved general. The reinforcements were commanded by Zhang Chun, although he was the governor of Liaodong, but he had no right to speak, and what he could do was to ensure the logistics of the army as much as possible. Although he also hoped that the imperial court would send some more cavalry to participate in the battle, the imperial court would not give it, and he could not do anything except be cold. Song Wei and Wu Xiang still have some cavalry in their hands, but whether they can be mobilized depends on whether Sun Chengzong is willing to make a desperate bet and transfer all the Guanning iron cavalry he built himself.

But Sun Chengzong didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Chun wanted to say anything several times, but he didn't say anything, the three of them just sat like this, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Just sat down for a while, Qiu Hejia, as the master, felt that he couldn't sit like this anymore, and said angrily: "Liang's subordinates have only been in the field for half a month, and the military department has been so passive about the battle of the Daling River, aren't they afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chun, who was not wearing an official uniform but only wearing a Confucian robe, smiled bitterly: "I was ordered to go out of the customs, originally to transfer the elite in the customs to come together, but after the official letter of transfer of troops was sent down, Changping General You Shiwei was unwilling to lead the troops out of the customs in the name of protecting the tomb, and only sent a staff general Zuo Liangyu with 500 soldiers to listen to the tune, I couldn't be angry, and sent a letter to the Ministry of War to punish that You Shiwei, but guess what the Xiong headquarters said?" He actually said that I should deal with this matter by myself, and the military department would not interfere. Joke, it's really a big joke, he said that he couldn't cure a general military officer, this is not a big joke! According to me, he Xiong Honbu doesn't want to fight this battle at all, he wants to give Da Linghe to Jiannu Caixin! The more he talked, the more angry he became, and his beard grew taller.
