Chapter 174: Cover-up
Looking at the fire oil that fell to the ground, Yang Cheng was distressed, after all, this thing is still very expensive.
But the distress is distressed, and he has more important things to do now.
Yang Cheng prayed in his heart as he walked towards the city gate, and before he could walk in, Zhang Song's voice came from afar, sounding full of energy.
"What should you do, what are you going to do, I'm fine!"
looked at Zhang Song, who was no different from usual and scolded his mother, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from Yang Cheng, but he saw Zhang Song being knocked more than ten meters away, and even the cuirass was deformed, how could it be okay?
With such a thought, Yang Cheng walked up quickly.
After Zhang Song saw Yang Cheng, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he greeted him: "Yang Cheng, you came just in time, find something to do for these bastards, hurry up and disperse for me!" ”
"Is it really okay?"
With the flash of this thought, Yang Cheng couldn't help but look at Zhang Song a few more times, and at this time, Zhang Song's appearance really didn't show the slightest reluctance.
Anyway, it was a good thing that Zhang Song was fine, which made him greatly relieved.
"Let's go, let's go to the barracks and discuss what will happen next."
As he spoke, Zhang Song took the lead directly in the direction of the barracks, and did not forget to say a few words to the soldiers he bumped into along the way.
This is basically the same as usual, which can be regarded as completely reassuring to Yang Cheng.
The two walked into the barracks one after the other.
After entering the military account, Zhang Song, who was walking in front, suddenly paused.
"Is the door closed?"
"Close the ......"
Halfway through his words, just as Yang Cheng wondered why Zhang Song didn't continue to walk forward, a mouthful of blood suddenly spit out from Zhang Song's mouth.
Yang Cheng was so frightened that his heart pumped out, and he almost screamed, but he quickly reflected and swallowed the words that had already reached his lips.
Yang Cheng stepped forward to support Zhang Song, and said with concern on his face: "General, you are ...... now"
"Don't worry, I can't die yet."
Looking at Zhang Song's bloodless appearance at this time, Yang Cheng realized that Zhang Song was actually holding on before.
Hurriedly untied Zhang Song's bronze cuirass that had been dented, and Yang Cheng realized that it was not only this cuirass that had been dented. The shocking injury, Yang Cheng's pupils contracted for a while, and he couldn't imagine how Zhang Song had survived until now when he was outside the barracks before!
But what he knows is that Zhang Song's serious injury must not be made public.
The general defending the city was seriously injured and bedridden, and as soon as the news spread, it would inevitably affect the morale of the garrison troops of North Wind City. The gang of barbarians outside the city is already difficult to deal with, if this morale drops again, then how can they fight?
"I... Seriously injured... Love, no, don't make a noise......"
"Don't worry, general, the last general understands."
Hearing this, Yang Cheng hurriedly responded, and then spoke again: "General, you will rest in this conference room for a while, and then send a trusted cronie to bring the doctor over secretly!" ”
"Well, it's ...... Over to you. Zhang Song nodded.
Yang Cheng straightened the armor on his body, and then left with a normal face.
Then he called one of his cronies and instructed him, "Go and get the best healer in the city, but remember, all this must be done quietly, understand?" ”
The soldier had already realized something, and said to Yang Chengying with a serious face: "Please rest assured, general, subordinates understand." ”
As Yang Cheng's confidant, this soldier not only has a high level of loyalty, but also his ability to do things is top-notch, and he quickly brought the healer over.
In fact, there are military doctors in the army, but everyone knows military doctors, and it is easy to think of something when they see military doctors entering and leaving Zhang Song's residence.
When the doctor was brought in, Zhang Song was already unconscious, and the doctor hurriedly put down the medicine box and began to treat the other party.
After the diagnosis, Yang Cheng hurriedly asked, "General, how is his injury?" ”
"It's serious."
The doctor's answer made Yang Cheng's heart sink and asked, "What kind of serious law?" ”
"The general's chest is broken at least three times, but this is not the most serious, the most serious part is that it hurts the internal organs."
"Without three or four months of recuperation, it is impossible to recover."
The doctor's tone was full of bitterness, now the barbarian army is outside the North Wind City, but Zhang Song is injured in the city like this, it seems that the North Wind City is in danger.
"I also asked the doctor to treat the general's injuries first."
"Yes, the little people will do their best!"
During the period when the doctor was treating Zhang Song's injuries, Yang Cheng directly signaled his cronies to stay outside the military account, and whoever wanted to come in was stopped by him for a reason.
"Please also ask the general to call someone to catch the medicinal herbs on this paper." As he spoke, the healer handed over a written prescription.
"Well, I see, I'll call someone to get the medicine." Yang Cheng nodded.
As he spoke, Yang Cheng turned around and walked out of the military account, and then handed the prescription to the cronies outside the door, and after admonishing him, he turned around and returned to the military account.
"Can the general's injuries be stabilized?"
"Fortunately, the general's bones are strong, and the armor on his body helps block it, so the rib break is not serious, and the villain has already straightened it. As for the injury of the internal organs, he could only drink the medicinal soup and slowly recuperate. ”
"Can the general show up in the army tomorrow with the usual face?" Then he added: "You don't need to do anything, just show your face and say a few words." ”
Now that the barbarian army outside the city is eyeing each other, if Zhang Song, who is the general of the North Wind City, cannot show up in the army for a long time, it will inevitably cause some speculation and panic among the soldiers.
"This ......"
Looking at the hesitant healer, the expression on Yang Cheng's face suddenly became a little serious.
"As long as it lasts a few days, now that the wolf smoke signal has been issued, Your Majesty's reinforcements will soon be able to arrive in North Wind City, when the time comes, what are the thousands of barbarians afraid of?"
Yang Cheng's words undoubtedly had an effect, but the healer spoke again after a little silence, and said, "Xiaomin can only say that he will do his best. ”
While speaking, the doctor glanced at Zhang Song, who was now unconscious, "Whether he can show up tomorrow can only see if General Zhang can wake up from this coma."
"Then it's hard work." Speaking of this, Yang Cheng's voice paused slightly.
"At the same time, in order to avoid extraneous complications, in the past two days, I have asked the doctor to stay here to take care of the general, and I will ask someone to send three meals a day, and I hope the doctor will forgive me."
"Xiaomin understands that the general doesn't need to be like this."
Yang Cheng was cautious, all this went very smoothly, and the medicinal soup in the evening, he directly sent it to the conference room with dinner, and no one noticed anything wrong during this period. After all, the enemy is currently in the background, and it is not unusual for generals to discuss tactics overnight.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Yang Cheng, who was taking a nap on the chair of the military account, was woken up by a noise. Quickly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Song, who had woken up slowly, a flash of joy flashed on Yang Cheng's face.
"General, how are you feeling now?"
"Water, water......"
"Here comes the water."
Yang Cheng hurriedly picked up the water bladder on the table and handed it to Zhang Song.
After drinking the bowl of water in a few sips, I don't know if it was too urgent, and it involved the wound, Zhang Song suddenly covered his chest and grinned uncomfortably.
Yang Cheng, who looked at this look, was shocked, "General! ”
"No, it's okay......" Zhang Song replied with some difficulty, "Just slow down." ”
"I'll call the healer to come and have a look."
While the two were talking, the doctor who was sleeping soundly on the side had been woken up.
There was no need to say any more nonsense, but the doctor hurriedly took two steps forward, and after seriously examining Zhang Song's injuries, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The general's injuries have stabilized, and the next thing he needs is to drink medicine regularly to recuperate slowly. During the recuperation period, do not drink alcohol, let alone eat some spicy and oily food, and it is best to drink some vegetable porridge and coarse grains for three meals. ”
Write down the doctor's advice one by one, just in case, Yang Cheng still let the doctor stay in the barracks for two more days.
At the same time as ordering someone to send the doctor to have a good rest, he also asked the guy in the barracks to quickly send some white porridge and steamed buns, and took advantage of the time to have breakfast to briefly talk to Zhang Song about the current situation.
After listening, Zhang Song nodded and said, "No problem, it's just a face, I can hold it." ”
"Don't be reluctant, if you really can't do it, the last general can also lie that the general is resting......"
"Nope." Zhang Song shook his head, "I know what you're worried about, if I suddenly collapse when I show my face, then it is better to stay here and rest." ”
"However, in every morning of war, I will gather the soldiers to give lectures and boost morale, and if I do not show up this time, it will lead to speculation."
Yang Cheng, who heard this, nodded subconsciously, as Zhang Song's lieutenant general, of course he knew this in his heart, so he was so anxious to want Zhang Song to wake up, but after waking up, he had to worry about whether Zhang Song would suddenly fall down during the lecture.
"In this way, I will sit on the stage of the martial arts, and you will lecture for me, so that even if my body suddenly can't hold on, I am sitting after all, and it is not easy for people to see the clues."
"That's ...... It's good. Yang Cheng nodded, and accepted Zhang Song's proposal.
After the discussion was completed, the two of them who had finished breakfast entered the martial arts arena. There was no need to convene at all, and the soldiers in the barracks were already lined up in a neat military formation and assembled on the exercise ground.
The two quickly exchanged a look, and after boarding the stage, Zhang Song sat down, and according to the previous discussion, Yang Cheng spoke on his behalf. didn't explain much, it was strange to say too much, so he spoke naturally instead of Zhang Song.
Although the soldiers below were a little strange in their hearts, when they saw Zhang Song sitting on it, everyone did not doubt him, and a lecture finally survived.
At this time, Yang Cheng only prayed that the barbarians would not attack today, it stands to reason that in yesterday's battle, the casualties of the other party were not small, so it should be adjusted for a day. However, it turned out that such barbarians did not play their cards according to common sense at all.
The rapid sound of the bell from the direction of the city wall made both him and Zhang Song's hearts sink. But now, I can only bite the bullet!
"General, you can sit on the city wall to stabilize your morale later, and leave the rest to me."
There is no doubt that in today's battle, Yang Cheng can't defend it.
When you can't hold it, it's a big deal to repeat the old tricks, and then use fire oil to forcibly persuade the other side to retreat, which is also a way out of the way.
