The night was already very deep, and the camp was gradually quiet, and the lights in the medical camp were still bright, and the torches were lit in the big tents, which shone like day, and there were people coming and going, and they were extremely tense and busy, and the air was full of blood, and from time to time there were groans of pain and low pleadings.

The medical camp is located in the northwest corner of the camp, covering an area of hundreds of acres, consisting of more than 300 huge tents, which are isolated by camp tents and guarded by special guards, and soldiers are not allowed to enter at will.

There are more than 1,500 female escorts and nearly 100 military doctors in the medical camp, at this time the war has just ended, more than 10,000 wounded soldiers were sent for emergency treatment, most of them are Dou Jiande's soldiers, the Sui army suffered more than 2,000 casualties in this war, and Dou Jiande's army suffered more than 20,000 casualties.

More than 1,000 female guards were specially trained, and they skillfully stopped the bleeding, medicated and bandaged their wounds, and carefully comforted them, so that countless dying soldiers gradually came back to life.

The appearance of female guards caused an uproar within the court at first, and it also had a mixed reputation in the army, and most military generals had a skeptical attitude.

Soon, however, the generals saw the fact that the mortality rate of wounded soldiers had dropped dramatically, which made the military change its attitude and become the staunchest supporters of the female escorts, and because of the support of the military, the criticism in the court gradually died out.

At present, there are about 5,000 female guards in the Sui Dynasty, and in addition to the female soldiers accompanying the army, there are also medical camps in Taiyuan, Lingwu and Hanoi, which not only care for the wounded, but also treat the victims.

Yang Yuanqing came to the medical camp under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers, and he came to visit Yang Sien. Yang Sien was seriously wounded during the attack on the northern front, and was the highest-ranking official to be injured in the battle.

Among the many high-ranking generals of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Sien was a veteran, who followed Yang Yuanqing for nearly 20 years, from a small soldier to a leading general step by step, and was loyal to Yang Yuanqing.

Yang Yuanqing walked into a big tent, and there were more than 100 wounded soldiers lying in this big tent. They were all heavy infantry, and this time the heavy infantry suffered more than 600 casualties, of which nearly 400 were killed. They're basically dead under the bed crossbow arrows.

Yang Yuanqing, under the guidance of a military doctor, came to the innermost bed, Yang Yuanqing frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't you place it in a separate camp?" ”

The medic smiled bitterly. "We are prepared like this, but General Yang refuses, we must be in the same account with the soldiers, there is no way but to follow his wishes."

Yang Yuanqing's face softened a little, and he walked to Yang Yuanqing's bed, a small candle was lit at the head of the bed, the light was dim, Yang Sien's face was sallow, and he was falling asleep. Two female guards had just changed the medicine for a wound on his leg.

"How's he doing?" Yang Yuanqing asked in a low voice.

The medic shook his head, "The iron crossbow arrow pierced his thigh, and his bones were broken and he bled a lot, but his life could be saved." It's just that walking may be affected in the future. ”

Yang Yuanqing suddenly remembered Yuwen Zhiji, he was also a broken thigh bone back then, and then he was only slightly lame, which had little impact, can't Yang Sien be like this?

He said to the medic, who shook his head. "That's just that the bones are broken, and if the bones are connected well, the problem is not big, but now General Yang not only broke the bones, but also injured the meridians, so the problem is more serious, we can only try our best to save it, but it really can't be guaranteed, please forgive your Highness!"

At this time, Yang Sien suddenly asked in a low voice: "Yes.... Steward? ”

It turned out that he had woken up, Yang Yuanqing hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand, "Old Yang, it's me!" ”

Yang Sien showed a bleak smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, manager, I feel very lucky now, sixty-six people in the first row were hit by arrows, and sixty-two people were killed, God favored, let me survive, I am already very satisfied." ”

Yang Yuanqing patted his hand and said with a smile: "You have no problem, after your injuries heal, I will transfer you to the military department and serve as the squire of the military department, so you don't have to lead the army to fight anymore." ”

Yang Sien smiled, "I knew back then that I would have a future with you, but it's a pity that Lao Liu died too early, otherwise he would be a big official today, I am fifty-two years old this year, and I don't have the strength to fight anymore, leave the opportunity to future generations!" Chief, Li Chongwei is good, and he is the son of Li Jing, I recommend him to take over as General Modao. ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "According to the principle of being subordinate and subordinate, it should also be him, you can recuperate with peace of mind, I know these things in my heart, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Yang Yuanqing said a few more words to him, and seeing that his condition was quite stable, he left the medical camp and returned to the Chinese army camp.

It was almost four o'clock at this time, and the camp was exceptionally quiet, the soldiers had already fallen asleep, and only a group of patrolling soldiers shuttled between the tents to prevent anything unusual.

Yang Yuanqing returned to his big tent, but saw a messenger standing at the gate of the camp waiting anxiously.

"What happened?" Yang Yuanqing walked forward quickly and asked.

The messenger hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Niu has news that Dou Jiande's cavalry trapped in Feihu County has signs of breaking through, and he asks the chief manager to increase his troops. ”

This is the 30,000 cavalry sent by Dou Jiande, ready to go to Hedong to harass through the Flying Fox, but was trapped in the Flying Fox by the Sui army, they captured the Flying Fox County, and they have been trapped for several days.

He pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Let Cheng Yanjin come to see me immediately!" ”

After a while, Cheng Biting Jin ran over in disheveled clothes, he was sleeping soundly, and was woken up from his dream by the soldiers, looking sleepy.

"Humble Cheng bites the gold, see the general manager!" In front of Yang Yuanqing, he didn't dare to be a little hanging, he knelt down on one knee and saluted, with a serious face.

"Have you been to see Luo Shixin?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

Cheng Yanjin's face showed a look of shame, because of his carelessness, he let Dou Jiande go, Luo Shixin was beaten with a hundred military sticks, and he was demoted to a second general, and he didn't even have the credit for Qilipo, which made him feel full of guilt.

"That incident is the fault of the lowly position, and it has nothing to do with Luo Shixin, the lowly position is willing to be punished, and I implore the governor to spare Xiao Luo and not demote him."

Yang Yuanqing's face sank, and he scolded: "How to punish is my business, it's not your turn to talk too much!" ”

Cheng Yanjin was so frightened that he was excited, "Yes!" I don't dare to do it. ”

Yang Yuanqing said to him: "I called you so late." I have an urgent task to hand over to you, in Feihu County, you lead 10,000 cavalry, with two horses, to rush to Feihu County to assist General Niu, if you can persuade Dou Jiande's army in Feihu County to surrender. I don't care about your sin of letting Dou Jiande go, otherwise, you will also be demoted by one level. and depose your knighthood. ”

Cheng Biting Jin said helplessly for a while: "I accept the order, but I implore the manager to give me something." ”……

Half an hour later, Cheng Yanjin led 10,000 cavalry and cavalry to leave the camp. Galloping in the direction of Shanggu County, they were equipped with two horses, and the speed was twice as fast as the usual march, and two days later, Cheng Yanjin led 10,000 cavalry to Feihu County.

At this time, 20,000 Sui troops blocked the entrance and exit of the Flying Fox from one east and one west, trapping the 30,000 cavalry of Dou Jiande in the Flying Fox.

Dou Jiande's 30,000 cavalry was led by Dou Jiande's general Gao Yaxian and his lieutenant Liu Ya, and after they attacked Yixian unfavorably, they turned to Feihu and prepared to cross Feihu to Hedong.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zikai led 10,000 cavalry to advance the Flying Fox and blocked the west exit of the Flying Fox. Immediately, Niu Jinda blocked the eastern exit and blocked the enemy's 30,000 cavalry in the Flying Fox Fortress.

Dou Jiande's army had no choice but to occupy Feihu County, while sending people over the mountains to ask Dou Jiande for help, while waiting for the opportunity to break through, they had been besieged for nearly ten days. Seeing that the food was cut off, and there was no longer any surplus food in the city, they either killed horses to survive, or broke through the siege.

The main general Gao Yaxian and the deputy general Liu Ya had a contradiction on this issue, and Gao Yaxian advocated an immediate breakthrough, even if half of them were killed. It is also necessary to fight a bloody way, and Liu Ya advocates killing some old and weak horses as military rations first, and waiting for the arrival of the prince's order before breaking through.

In fact, Liu Ya was unwilling to die too many brothers for the breakout, and the two had been arguing about this matter for several days, making each other extremely dissatisfied, the key was that Liu Ya controlled 10,000 cavalry in his hands, and without the assistance of these 10,000 cavalry, Gao Yaxian was not sure that the breakthrough would be successful.

On this morning, Gao Yaxian was inspecting the city, his slender face was full of gloomy color, and his persuasion for several days was unsuccessful, which made him have a murderous intention against Liu Ya in his heart, but he couldn't find this opportunity for a while.

At this time, a peripheral patrol came at a gallop and reported: "General Qi Gao, an envoy from the Sui army is here, and General Ruan Junming is following." ”

Gao Yaxian was stunned in his heart, Ruan Junming should be in Leshou County to guard the capital, why did he come here, he had a trace of something bad in his heart, could it be that something happened to the camp?

"Bring them here!"

In a moment, more than 100 sentries came with a team of Sui troops, about a dozen people, in the middle was a black-faced Sui general, next to it was Ruan Junming, the general of Shoule Shou County.

The Sui envoy was naturally Cheng Biting Jin, and Niu Jinda originally planned to let a well-spoken sergeant be the envoy, but Cheng Biting Jin insisted that it was most appropriate for him to personally persuade the enemy army to surrender.

And accompanied by Ruan Junming, he had a good relationship with the enemy's commander, Gao Yaxian, and at least he could save his life.

The gate of Feihu County slowly opened, and hundreds of knife and axe men rushed out of the city, murderous, Cheng Yanjin suddenly felt apprehensive in his heart, he thought very well, thinking that as soon as he arrived, the enemy army would open the city to greet him, hoping to get a way out from him.

Unexpectedly, the enemy army was still murderous, Cheng Yanjin was suddenly a little scared, he really shouldn't come, he hurriedly asked Ruan Junming in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you have a good relationship with Gao Yaxian?" Why does he have this attitude? ”

Ruan Junming smiled bitterly, "I don't know, people's hearts are complicated, maybe his mind has changed now." ”

It was too late for Cheng Yanjin to regret it, hundreds of swords and axes swarmed up and surrounded them, Gao Yaxian appeared at the head of the city, and shouted: "Ruan Junming, have you surrendered to the Sui army?" ”

Ruan Junming arched his hand and said: "Brother Yaxian, the war is over, the Xia army no longer exists, the 300,000 troops in Leshou County have all surrendered, Liu Heimin also crossed the river and surrendered to Li Mi, and now the entire territory of Hebei has been occupied by the Sui army, I am here to tell Brother Yaxian." ”

This sentence caused an uproar in the city, and even the hundreds of swordsmen and axes around them looked at each other, and many people took a step back, and the murderous aura of the swordsmen and axes suddenly disappeared, and there was a slight commotion.

Gao Yaxian gritted his teeth and asked, "What about the prince?" Where did the prince go? ”

Cheng Yanjin felt the change in the enemy soldiers and began to become cowardly, which gave birth to a glimmer of hope in his heart, he took out a human head from the cloth bag behind him and raised it high, "Your prince is here!" ”
