Of course, Wang Ke knew what Qin Ke wanted to know, and while he was talking, the door curtain was lifted again, and Qin Ke entered the big tent with a strange middle-aged general.

Qin Ke saw that Wang Rong woke up, and said happily: "You kid, you really scared me to death, if you have three long and two short, how can I explain to your father." Fortunately, Pu'er came and rescued you, this kid. ”

Wang Rong struggled to get up, and with Wang Hao's support, he woke up a military salute, and said in his loudest voice: "Wang Rong, the commander of the Western Governor's Mansion, meet the general of Zhengbei, the Western Governor's Mansion is a hundred soldiers in Woyedu, and five thousand five hundred soldiers in the four cities and two Sai Townships, and successfully blocked the invasion of the Devil in the First Battle of the Chicken Commandery. More than 1,500 people were killed in this battle, more than 500 were seriously wounded, and the rest were not counted. The list of merit rewards and punishments will be sorted out by Wumo and handed over to the general for review. ”

Qin Ke and the strange general listened to Wang Rong's report quietly, they did not stop Wang Rong's movements, this is the pride of the soldiers, and they have no reason to stop it.

After the report, Wang Wei felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, and Zhang Pu hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Hao help him back to the bed.

Qin Ke only began to introduce the stranger beside him at this time: "Zhong Ming, this person next to me is the Marquis of Linjin, the pillar of our Dayong military and political worlds. ”

Wang Rong listened to Qin Ke's words, and then he reacted: It turned out that he was Zhang Songqi, the mythical Marquis of Linjin of Dayong. I saw that he was tall, stout, and square, looking at himself with a scrutinizing face.

Wang Rong originally wanted to struggle to stand up and salute Zhang Songqi, the Marquis of Linjin, but he really had no strength, and Zhang Pu was still pressing him. So he could only sit on the bed, bow his hand and say, "The kid is rude, I've seen the Marquis of Linjin." ”

Zhang Songqi looked at him, and then at Zhang Pu, who was looking at Wang Rong with a concerned face, and his voice was cold: "Boy, you are very good, very good, I hope your injury can heal soon." ”

Wang Rong smiled slightly and thanked: "Boy, thank you for your auspicious words." ”

Zhang Songqi didn't answer, snorted and turned around and left the big tent. Qin Ke looked at Wang Rong and Zhang Pu with a smile, and said, "Okay, you can rest well, and when you are well cultivated, we will come again." Wang Wei bowed and asked Wang Wei to send Qin Ke away on his behalf.

In the following days, Wang Rong had a task to recuperate from his injuries. Due to the severity of his injuries, he had to recuperate in Chicken. At this time, he was listening to Meng Song's report.

"Before and after this battle, 4,500 people from the Western Governor's Mansion participated in the battle, and 500 people from the 2nd Regiment of Linhe Township and Township Soldiers, more than 100 people were killed in the battle, more than 100 people were seriously injured, and only more than 200 people were left who could still fight. Of the 500 people of the 2nd Regiment of the Fertile City and Rural Soldiers, more than 100 were killed in battle, more than 100 were seriously wounded, and the rest were all slightly wounded. Of the 500 people of the Linrong Urban and Rural Corps, more than 100 were killed, more than 100 were seriously wounded, and more than 100 were lightly wounded, and the rest were intact. The defenders were 1,000 people, more than 400 were killed and more than 100 were seriously wounded. Of the 2,000 troops, more than 700 were killed in battle, none were seriously wounded, and the rest were all lightly wounded. Meng Song reported cautiously, and at the same time observed Wang Rong's expression, he was really afraid that Wang Rong would be excited and cause the wound to burst.

Wang Rong listened to Meng Song's report expressionlessly, his heart was dripping blood, in just five days, he had lost more than 2,000 people, his heart ached. After taking a deep breath, Wang Rong asked, "Have all the fallen brothers been settled?" ”

Meng Song hurriedly replied: "Everything has been settled, everyone has been cremated, put into clay pots, and labeled. The villagers of Linhe City, Linrong City, and Fertile City had already left the city yesterday and returned to the cities. The army had already left this morning and returned to the city. ”

Wang Rong nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said: "Regarding the issue of rewarding the fallen soldiers, you need to deal with it. The resettlement of seriously injured and retired township soldiers is also an important matter. ”

For Meng Song, it is okay to let him count the numbers and handle military affairs, but in terms of government affairs, it is a bit out of line. He was embarrassed and said, "Captain, this... I won't either. ”

Wang Rong looked at Meng Song, who had a tangled face, sighed, and said: "Ah Song, your force value is the last among many generals, so your future path is not to charge into battle and become a brave general, but to become a wise general who can strategize." And if you want to become a qualified intelligent general, you must grasp all this important military and political affairs. After this battle, I think that the situation in Shuofang County will change a lot, and in order to be able to cope with this change, I plan to transfer you to the Governor's Mansion to take up a position and learn more from Mr. Changshi Chu. ”

Meng Song listened to Wang Rong's words and looked surprised: "Captain, do you want me to withdraw from the army?" ”

Wang Rong shook his head and said, "No, the official position in the army is reserved as a part-time job." ”

Meng Song was relieved, and he agreed to Wang Rong's arrangement. At this time, Zhang Pu opened the curtain and walked in, she held the medicine box in her hand, looked at the two and said, "Are you done with the discussion?" When it's over, I'm going to change your dressing. ”

Meng Song looked at Zhang Pu with the posture of a hostess, and looked at Wang Rong with an ambiguous smile on his face. Wang Rong reprimanded uncomfortably: "What do you see? Hurry up and get things done. ”

Meng Song gave a military salute: "Wow! Retired from his position. With that, he rolled out the tent with a smile on his face.

Wang Rong took off his shirt and exposed his upper body, Zhang Pu began to change his dressing, and said while changing the dressing: "You use the intoxicating flower to make sweat medicine, let the injured and sick take it into a coma, and then open the operation to heal, how did you come up with this?" ”

Zhang Pu has really learned a lot of things in the past few days, first of all, sweat medicine, this kind of thing like an anesthetic, if you pour it into people, it will directly make people unconscious and unconscious, and you can deal with the wound as you want.

The second is surgery, what she used to learn was to use silk threads made of cloth to suture wounds for wounds, and it was extremely troublesome to remove the stitches after the wound died, and the wound was ugly after healing. But here she sees another kind of suture thread: sheep gut thread. The raw material of this thread is sheep intestines, scrape off fat and other tissues, take the innermost film, soak and clean it in alkaline solution, and smoke it with sulfur to prevent insects and prevent corrosion. The advantage of this type of thread is that it can be absorbed and there are no foreign matter.

These two events alone opened Zhang Pu's eyes. Wang Rong looked at Zhang Pu with a curious face, and said with a smile: "Wo Ye doesn't know, maybe I was born to know." ”

Zhang Pu listened to Wang Rong's words, and knew that he was perfunctory, and as soon as he used his hand, Wang Rong's painful face twitched.

"Yohe, it seems that I didn't come at the right time, so I bothered the two of you." Qin Ke walked into the tent and looked at the two of them and quipped.

Zhang Pu's cheeks flushed: "Uncle Qin, you are joking again, if my father hears it, he will be angry again." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Pu finished speaking, Zhang Songqi opened the door curtain and came in, and asked with a puzzled expression: "What are you angry?" ”

Frightened, Zhang Pu hurriedly said, "Eh, Dad, it's nothing." When Zhang Pu saw the two of them coming to find Wang Rong, he knew that he had something important to say, so he quickly saluted and went out with the medicine box.

Wang Rong put on his shirt, and after giving the two of them a salute, he personally served wine. Qin Ke and Zhang Songqi didn't drink, Qin Ke spoke first: "Zhong Ming, there is an order from the Xushan side, the emperor is ready to rebuild the Shuofang County Mansion, with Brother Zhang as the Shuofang County Guard, and I am also the Shuofang County Lieutenant." ”

Wang Rong congratulated and said, "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the Hou Ye." ”

Qin Ke waved his hand and said: "This is nothing to congratulate, this time I came to you, mainly to discuss the defense of Shuofang County, after the establishment of the Western Governor's Mansion, it is indeed a lot of problems, so I plan to set up another Central Governor's Mansion and an Eastern Governor's Mansion." The county administration of Shuofang County is no longer in Shuofang City, it is now the shogunate of the Zhengbei General's Mansion, the county is established in Guangmu City, and the Central Governor's Mansion is also built there, in order to enhance the strength of the Central Governor's Mansion, I discussed with the Marquis of Linjin, and the Governor's Mansion and Linhe City were assigned to the Central Governor's Mansion. ”

After Qin Ke finished speaking, he and Zhang Songqi stared at Wang Rong like this, and Wang Rong understood that this was to divide the northern part of the Western Governor's Mansion and hand it over to the Central Governor's Mansion. There is a kind of meaning of picking peaches in disguise, Wang Rong slandered in his heart, and his face was happy, and he bowed and said: "The last general has no opinion, four cities and two stops, there are too many military affairs, and the last general's ability is limited. ”

When Qin Ke heard Wang Rong say this, he was immediately relieved, if Wang Rong was greedy for power, he would think carefully about how to arrange Wang Rong. Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Wei continued: "The last general thinks that the station of the Western Governor's Mansion should be changed, and now the city has been re-established, and there is Tu Shenze in the north, Ji Yu in the west, and Woye City in the south, which is strategically located. ”

Qin Ke looked inexplicable, and said faintly: "There is a desert in the south, just a few pieces of cultivated land, are you going to starve yourself to death?" ”

Wang Rong listened to Qin Ke's words, shook his head, and said: "General, I personally went to the desert in the south to investigate, and within at least ten miles to the south, after the surface sand and soil were removed, below was the fertile land that had been infiltrated by groundwater all year round. The surface sand can be used to ram the city walls or build houses, and the fertile fields below can be reclaimed to grow food. As for how to control desertification, there is only one way, and that is to plant trees. Not only to plant trees in the city, but also to plant trees around Tushenze and around the big river, and then build a port and build ships in Tushenze, so that the big river can be used to connect Linrong, Woye, Linhe, Guangmu, Shuofang, Huqu, and if possible, even extend the route to Xinqin. ”

Zhang Songqi, the Marquis of Linjin, listened to Wang Rong's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "This idea is good, how sure are you?" ”

Wang Wei thought for a while and said, "After the battle of the Chickens, the Devils should not invade Shuofang County again. This war lasted at least two years of peacetime, and I will seize these two years to build the area under the jurisdiction of the Western Governor's Government and achieve the goal of raising troops and supporting the people. ”
