Chapter 351: Forming an Alliance (1)
Qinghe County, the camp of the new army.
There was no fighting for these two days, and the soldiers repaired in the barracks. As the main general, Xu Jing did not have idle time, so he first summoned the generals to discuss for most of the day. Then I went around the wounded barracks.
On the march to fight, it is common to get wounded. The military doctors in the barracks are also the busiest. Soldiers who are slightly wounded are treated with extra care by military doctors, and they can go into battle again to kill the enemy in ten days and eight days.
If the injury is serious, use some wound medicine, and lift it aside to heal. To put it bluntly, whether or not you can survive depends on whether you are hard or not.
It's no wonder that the military doctor is no wonder. In the huge barracks, there are only a dozen military doctors. After a battle, hundreds of wounded soldiers were killed. Even if they have four hands, they can't keep busy. Moreover, there is always not enough Chinese medicinal materials in the army, so they can only use medicine for wounded soldiers who can be cured first.
After Xu Jing learned about this drawback, he asked Shen Sheren to buy more medicinal materials after "raising grain and grass". By the way, the doctor in Qinghe County was also "invited" to the barracks.
In this way, the wounded soldiers can receive basic medical treatment. It also greatly comforted the wounded soldiers. Xu Jing's reputation in the military camp is also getting better day by day.
Xu Jing patrolled around the wounded soldiers, and it was already evening. Then he went to the military tent of the Marquis of Zhongyong.
Zhongyong Hou picked up his life, lying on the bed, and his eldest son Gao Wangzheng was feeding Zhongyong Hou medicine.
As soon as Xu Jing entered the military tent, Gao Wang immediately got up and saluted. Xu Jing smiled: "Don't be polite, you continue to serve the medicine."
Gao Wangying responded and fed the rest of the medicine.
Xu Jing turned his head and ordered, "Xu San, you go and tell the man to boil a bowl of porridge, and put some vegetables and meat in the porridge."
Xu San gave his hand and took the order to retreat.
In fact, the trivial matter of running errands does not need Xu San at all. Xu Jing: This is a chance for Xu San to perform! It can be said that I was heartbroken for Xu San's lifelong events.
Marquis Zhongyong looked at Xu San's back, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
After a stick of incense, Xu San brought the meat porridge over. Xu Jing moved out of the way and motioned for Xu San to step forward. Xu San was not flustered and cramped, stepped forward calmly, and waited for Zhongyong Marquis to eat meat porridge.
Zhongyonghou's body is still weak, but it is much stronger than his previous body, which cannot move or speak. A bowl full of meat porridge was eaten.
Xu San was sent to retreat, and Gao Wang also silently withdrew from the military tent under the gaze of his father.
"Shizi," Zhongyong Hou whispered with some difficulty, "I want to ask Shizi for someone."
Xu Jing was secretly happy in his heart, and pretended to be surprised on his face: "Master Hou might as well say it directly."
Zhongyong Marquis didn't beat around the bush at all: "I have a crush on Xu San and want him to be my son-in-law. If the prince nods in agreement, I will immediately ask Da Lang to write a letter and send it back to the Gao family."
Rao is Xu Jing was mentally prepared, and he didn't expect the Marquis Zhongyong to be so straightforward.
However, such a good thing, hesitating for a moment is an insult to the Gao family.
Xu Jing immediately smiled and said, "Hou Ye has a good eye for a good son-in-law, how can I be unreasonable."
"Xu San is my own soldier, and I grew up with him since I was a child. In my heart, I have always regarded him as half a brother. Half a year ago, I had released Xu San from his good name, and I also changed his name to Xu Shan."
"It is a great joy to marry a wife. Xu Shan's official position in the Tiger Army is not high, and when the battle of Qinghe County is over, it is not difficult to be promoted to an official position with Xu San's military exploits. When the time comes, I will personally accompany him to the Gao family to propose marriage."
Marquis Zhongyong smiled happily: "It's still the prince who thinks about it."
sighed again: "The cavalry battalion suffered a great defeat, the second son died under the bandit knife, I was seriously injured so much, I can no longer lead the troops in the future. When I returned to the capital, I played the fold. The only thing I worry about is the hope of my eldest son."
"He has also been in the army for ten years, and he has fought a lot of battles large and small, but he has never been a chief general. I'm afraid that the position of the commander of the cavalry battalion may not fall on him."
Xu Jing glanced at Hou Zhongyong deeply: "Master Hou is too worried. In my opinion, the commander of the cavalry battalion must have high hopes."
This is to show the Marquis of Zhongyong that he will help Gao Wang. The Gao family and the Beihai Royal Mansion formed an alliance to help each other and be each other's arms.
Zhongyonghou's eyes lit up, and he raised his arm with great effort, wanting to thank him.
Xu Jing smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed the arm of the Marquis of Zhongyong: "When the Hou Ye is healed, I want to thank you for the opportunity."
Then, he shouted to Xu San to come in.
Xu San, who was guarding outside the military tent, quickly entered the military tent.
From today on, it should be changed to Xu Shan.
Xu Jing smiled and ordered, "Xu Shan, you come and kneel down and give a salute to your future father-in-law."
Xu Shan's tall figure shook slightly, unbelievable joy flashed in his eyes, and there was a roar in his head, and he didn't hear what his son said for a while.
It was also the first time Xu Jing had seen Xu Shan's stupid appearance, and he grinned: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and kowtow."
Xu Shan finally came back to his senses, stepped forward and knelt down, knocking his head three times.
The Marquis of Zhongyong smiled with satisfaction and said in a low voice, "Get up! Now there is still a war, so I have to make a verbal marriage contract. Don't worry, I, Gao Peng, mean what I say, and I will never regret my marriage for no reason like some despicable villains. From today on, you will be the future uncle of my Gao family."
Xu Shan's dark face turned a dark red, and he kowtowed again before standing up. I want to open my mouth to speak, but I don't know what to say, so I look at my son for help.
Seeing this, Xu Jing reminded with some amusement: "In front of people, it's still the same as before. Privately, you just call Uncle Gao."
Xu Shan responded, looked at his future father-in-law on the bed, and mustered up the courage to call Uncle Gao.
Marquis Zhongyong responded with a smile, raised his voice and called his eldest son Gao Wang in, and said to Gao Wang, "His name is Xu Shan, and he will be your brother-in-law in the future. You two will be more and more close in the future."
Gao Wang pressed the awkwardness in his heart and nodded slightly at Xu Shan.
Xu Jing glanced at Xu Shan.
Xu Shan instantly understood, and called his eldest brother.
Gao Wang: "......"
What kind of son there is, what kind of pro-soldier there is. This Xu Shan, who looks taciturn on weekdays, is cheeky and is the same as Xu Jing!
Gao Wang complained frantically in his heart, and under the warning eyes of his own father, he responded with a smile.
At this point, the relationship between them is very different, and the conversation is closer.
Xu Jing said in a low voice, "Master Hou will recuperate from his injuries and return to the capital with the army in a few months. By that time, the emperor's anger will have already passed."
"The Gao family's reduced title may not be long before it is restored."
The Marquis of Zhongyong's eyes showed gratitude: "Whether this matter can be done or not, I will thank the son."
Xu Jing smiled, got up and said goodbye and left: "Hou Ye rest in peace, I will come to see Hou Ye in a few days."
Xu Shan silently followed behind Xu Jing.
After entering Xu Jing's military tent, Xu Shan immediately knelt down and knocked his head three times.
