The red sun was slightly dewed, and the light of a moment pierced the sky, and the earth gradually opened up.

The Mongolian soldiers, who had been fighting all night, dragged their tired bodies to the base camp, and the advance troops at the forefront carried the stretcher all the way to the camp gate, and there was a faint blood mark where the stretcher passed.

When Zong Zheng was waking up in a daze, he heard the panic and noise outside, opened his sleepy eyes, and when he got out of the camp, he saw Zhang Hongyan pulling the military doctor away, looking in a hurry.

Zong Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to ask, and Zhang Hongyan told Zong Zheng that General Zhang Xi was hit by many arrows in his body when he attacked Ezhou City last night, and his life was in danger.

Hearing this news, Zong Zheng couldn't help but feel very sad, he was a good person last night, but he was seriously injured this morning, and his life was on the verge of dying, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel that the war was really cruel.

followed all the way to Zhang Xi's camp, but saw a person with red eyes, lying in front of Zhang Xi's bed, holding Zhang Xi's hands, Zhang Hongyan whispered to Zong Zheng that it was General Zhang Xi's son, Zhang Honggang.

Zong Zheng looked at Zhang Honggang's sad eyes, and couldn't help but think of his father, Zhang Honggang, as Zhang Xi's son, his father was so hurt when he was seriously injured, and his father had been dead for many years, and as a son of man, he didn't care about it at all for so many years, and he couldn't help but feel guilty and blame himself.

After the military doctor Shu Chili entered the tent, he immediately came to Zhang Xi's side, helped him take off his armor, stopped the bleeding, and carefully examined his injuries.

Kublai Khan also rushed to the front of Zhang Xi's bed after hearing the news, and hurried to Zhang Xi's bed after entering the account, Zhang Honggang saw Kublai Khan's arrival, and hurriedly let go of the open, Kublai Khan looked at the arrow inserted into Zhang Xi's abdomen, self-blame and heartache showed his face, this is not pretentious, it is indeed from Kublai Khan's heart, for the loyal generals of Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan has deep affection, which is not only his temperament, but also the reason why he can get so many loyal generals in the Han land.

Zhang Xi was in a trance at the moment, he was unconscious, his body was stained with blood, and his white underwear was already red.

Kublai Khan shouted to the military doctor: "Jochiri, this king wants you to do everything in your power to save General Zhang Xi." ”

Jochiri had already carefully examined Zhang Xi's injuries at this time, and knew that the situation was not optimistic, so he bluntly said: "Back to the king, General Zhang Xi has lost too much blood and suffered multiple arrow wounds in the abdomen, I'm afraid,"

Jochiri looked at Kublai Khan's fierce eyes and paused unconsciously.

Kublai Khan said fiercely: "I'm afraid of what?"

Jochili was terrified, and immediately knelt down and replied: "I'm afraid, there is no way to return to heaven." Jochi's voice trembled a little, not because he was afraid of Kublai Khan, but because he sincerely felt regret and self-blame, as a healer, whenever he saw a patient whose life was on the verge of dying, and he was suffering from his limited medical skills and was unable to do anything, Jochi would inexplicably feel a wave of guilt and sadness.

When Zhang Honggang heard Jochiri's words, he couldn't help but look gloomy. Kublai Khan was also heartbroken, and he was heartbroken.

When Zong was treating Wang Jian in Diaoyu City, there was a period of time when he humbly asked Hu Shicong for advice on the art of hanging a pot to help the world, and Hu Shicong's medical classics were also read by Zong Zheng.

At that time, General Wang Jian suffered a similar trauma, Zong Zheng saw Hu Shicong's appearance of practicing medicine to save people, quite admired, and he was interested in healing swords and other wounds, Hu Shicong felt that Zong Zheng had a pure temperament, a very high endowment, and a doctor's demeanor, so he borrowed his collection of medical classics to look at Zongzheng, and Zong Zheng would sincerely ask for advice when he encountered something unclear, and Hu Shicong was not obscure.

Zong Zheng remembered that in a medical book for the treatment of wounds stored by Hu Shicong, he once mentioned the treatment method of acupuncture and moxibustion to stop bleeding, protect the pulse of internal strength, and eliminate blood stasis and blood stasis.

When he was in the Song Army Military Medical Center, although Hu Shicong used ordinary patients as an example to let Zong Zheng practice the technique of trauma treatment, he had never encountered a situation with such a serious injury as General Zhang Xi, so Zong Zheng was not sure about treating Zhang Xi and did not want to try.

In the Mongolian military doctors, they naturally did not understand the acupuncture and moxibustion techniques of the Han region, as well as some Chinese medicine classics, so they were naturally unsure when they saw this serious trauma in Jochi.

Zhang Honggang thought that his father was at a critical moment, protecting himself with his body and blocking the arrows in front of him, so he felt very guilty, and now when he heard what Jochi said, he couldn't hide it anymore, so he immediately fell at the feet of Jochiri, and cried loudly: "Please, save my father, save my father." ”

Zhang Xi seemed to hear his son's crying, a burst of excitement, a large amount of red blood spurted out of his mouth, and then fainted, Zhang Honggang knelt on the ground, saw his father spitting blood, and came to Zhang Xi on his stomach, tears wiped the blood stains on the corner of Zhang Xi's mouth with his hands, and kept shouting "Dad, Dad,"

Everyone present was moved by the deep affection of the father and son, but they were also helpless and helpless.

Zong Zheng was not sure about his medical skills; second, he really didn't want to bother with this matter anymore, after all, it had already taken a lot of effort to treat Kublai Khan before, and if he tried to rescue him again this time, it would have to cost a lot of effort; third, the repeated treatment of people from different camps had already made Zong Zheng lose his purpose, so he had been standing by and did not dare to come forward to try.

However, at this moment, looking at Zhang Honggang's deep affection for Zhang Xi when he was seriously injured, and then thinking of his indifference to his father's death, sympathy and guilt surged into Zong Zheng's heart. Between saving and not saving, Zong Zheng wandered and wandered, entangled.

Just when everyone was hiding their faces and grieving, a slow figure walked towards Zhang Xi, just at Zhang Honggang's love for his father, and with his guilt that he had never heard about his father's death, Zong Zheng finally couldn't help but come to the rescue.

Zong Zheng put his hand on Zhang Honggang's shoulder, clenched it for a while, and calmly grabbed Zhang Honggang's shoulder, Zhang Honggang turned his head, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and looked at Zong Zheng strangely.

"Zhang Gongzi, if you can trust me, can you let me give it a try?" Zong Zheng said to Zhang Honggang,

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Honggang's eyes immediately lit up, Zhang Honggang knew that the young man in front of him had saved the life of the king, thinking that he must have the skill of practicing medicine to help the world, and maybe he could save his father's life, so he agreed very much in his heart, and wanted him to save him immediately, but after thinking about it carefully, Kublai Khan's consent was still needed, so he looked at Kublai Khan with both eyes.

The military doctor is still helpless, why Zong Zheng can save such a dying Zhang Xi, Kublai Khan heard what Zong Zheng said, and he was already as surprised as the generals present, however, Kublai Khan still has full trust in Zong Zheng in his heart, as the saying goes, 'a dead horse is a live horse doctor', if you don't save it, your life is not guaranteed, and there is still hope for rescue.

All the generals waited expectantly for Kublai Khan's speech, time was precious, and Kublai Khan only thought for a moment and decisively nodded in agreement.

When Zhang Honggang saw that Kublai Khan agreed, he immediately knelt in front of Zongzheng and said,

"Ask Mei Shaoxia to save my father's life. ”

Zong Zheng hurriedly helped Zhang Honggang up, turned his face slightly gloomy, and said in a low tone,

"It's not a secret, I don't know for sure, I can only try my best, now, if you want to save General Zhang, you still lack an extremely precious and rare medicinal material. ”

Zhang Honggang immediately asked, "What medicinal herbs?"

"Wood blood is exhausted," Zongzheng replied,

Kublai Khan's face frowned slightly, and he immediately reacted: "Wood blood is exhausted?" Looking at his expression, he seemed to know about it.

"That's right, I can use acupuncture and moxibustion to protect General Zhang's life with internal strength, but General Zhang has a lot of arrow wounds and excessive blood loss. Zongzheng explained,

Zhang Rou immediately asked about Jochiri: "Jochiri, let me ask you, is there any wood in the army?"

Jochili heard the word wood blood exhaustion, his face was full of doubts, and when he heard Zhang Rou asking, he could only shake his head and reply: "Wood blood is exhausted, I haven't heard of it, let alone whether there is this medicine." ”

Zhang Rou was a little disappointed, and Jochiri turned a little ashamed.

Zong Zheng explained to Zhang Rou: "This wood blood exhaustion is an elixir produced in the South China Sea, and few people in the entire Song Realm, and even Mongolia know about it, don't blame the military doctor, it's just that this medicine is extremely rare, and it is extremely needed nowadays." ”

Zhang Honggang said with a firm expression: "Even if it is difficult, I will find that medicine." ”

Kublai Khan listened to Zongzheng's explanation, and couldn't help but recall carefully, remembering that the merchants of the Southwest China Sea had paid tribute to the royal family a number of local treasures, among which there was a thing called 'blood exhaustion', which did have the effect of invigorating blood and muscles, and his wife Chabi knew that Kublai Khan was fighting half a horse, and was worried about Kublai Khan's safety, so she asked the palace for some life-saving medicine, especially the elixir for the treatment of sword wounds, and also specially prepared a brocade box to pack these elixirs together.

"Warden, go to the king's tent and fetch the brocade box that the queen gave to the king. When Kublai Khan remembered this, he immediately ordered his attendant to say,

The inner chamberlain immediately went to Kublai Khan's tent.

After a while, the inner chamberlain brought the brocade box, which was indeed a delicate small box, embroidered with a Mongolian totem, and a small lock on the outside.

Kublai Khan removed a rope from his neck, which was tied to a small and unique key, and Kublai Khan hurriedly brought the key to open the box.

There were several rare elixirs in the brocade box, and Kublai Khan didn't care about the rest of the medicinal materials, but just took out a blood-red thing directly from the box.

"But this?" Kublai Khan asked Zongzhengdao,

Zong Zheng took the wood blood exhaustion from Kublai Khan's hand, looked at it closely, and the appearance of the wood blood exhaustion drawn in the medical book appeared in his mind.

"Yes, that's it. Zongzheng replied affirmatively,

When Zhang Honggang heard this, he was a little relieved, and the generals were also happy.

"Quick, use it to treat General Zhang. Kublai Khan said to Zongzheng, full of eagerness.

Zong Zheng saw that General Zhang Xi's life was in danger, and since the wood blood had been exhausted, he asked everyone to wait outside the tent, leaving Jochi to help.

After everyone withdrew from the tent, Zong Zheng asked Jochi for a few slender silver needles, and placed a few needles in several key points on Zhang Xi's body, and then used internal force to heal his wounds and protect his heart.

Jochiri took advantage of Zongzheng's internal strength to protect Zhang Xi's heart, carefully pulled out the arrows on General Zhang's body, and stopped the bleeding in time to clean up the wound.

It took more than an hour for Jochi to finish treating the arrow wound on Zhang Xi's body, and in order to treat the seriously injured Zhang Xi, Zong Zheng unknowingly consumed a lot of skill.

Fortunately, after some tossing, Zhang Xi barely managed to save his life for the time being, but whether he can survive safely still needs to wait for the effect of wood blood exhaustion and General Zhang's personal creation.
