Chapter 426: Han Qi's Shock
When Han Qi met Li Ze, Li Ze was inspecting the wounded barracks located outside the city of Xingzhou.
From the original intention, Han Qi really didn't want to see Li Ze, but there was no way. The emperor was in Liu Ruyan's army at the moment, and there was no doubt that this army was now under siege by the Xuanwu army, and in Han Qi's opinion, it was simply dangerous, and it could overturn at any time.
At this time, even if he had a bad opinion of Li Ze, he could only put it aside first and work together to rescue the emperor before he could say anything else.
And with his strength, let alone now, even when his strength was at its peak, he couldn't do this. He is not a high-flying man, and he does not have the prestige to respond to every call. And right now, only Li Ze can do this.
So when Li Ze summoned him with a letter, when Han Qi's subordinates were a little embarrassed and thought that this way was an insult to Han Qi, he still went to Xingzhou without hesitation.
In the first battle of Xingzhou, at the last moment, Shi Zhuang and Min Rou led the Wuwei army to join, reversed the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, defeated Tian Ping, Pei Zhiqing, Xue Jian's troops, not only relieved the danger of Xingzhou, Shi Zhuang also led his troops to connect Beizhou, and Weizhou, which is now equivalent to incorporating Xingzhou, Beizhou, and Zhaozhou into Wuwei's territory.
The change of Zhaoyi, if you want to talk about the biggest profiteer, it is naturally Xuanwu, but Li Ze got the land of Sanzhou without much effort, which is even more eye-catching.
For Han Qi, it was even more bitter, because in this process, he had no choice but to transfer a large number of troops to Zhaoyi, but he ceded Shuozhou and other places to Zhang Jia in one fell swoop, so that now Zhang Jia's power has risen sharply, and he has faintly formed an oppressive trend towards Hedong.
And the initiator behind all this is Li Ze.
Standing outside the wounded barracks, Han Qi was a little nervous.
It was the first time he had seen a general set up a camp for wounded soldiers directly in the Chinese army, and it was next to the main tent of the Chinese army. Generally speaking, for generals who are worried about the wailing of wounded soldiers or the death of incurable soldiers, which will affect morale, they will only set up the wounded barracks in remote places to minimize the impact. Li Ze did the opposite.
It was also the best wounded battalion he had ever seen.
Standing outside the fence, you can see long ropes pulling on top of the open space outside, and long white bandages are drying on the ropes. At the other end of the field, some people were vigorously scrubbing the blood-stained bandages, and then boiling them in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes before they were fished out and hung on ropes.
Even if you stand outside the camp, you can smell the faint smell of medicine wafting from the camp.
"Han Shuai, slacken slack!" You Yong, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Wuwei Festival, hurriedly greeted you from the big tent of the Chinese army, and said again and again: "The commander of the festival has just been less than recently, and I originally estimated that you would not be able to arrive until noon, so I took advantage of this time to go to the wounded barracks to inspect it, I really didn't expect you to come so soon." ”
Han Qi was also slightly surprised when he saw You Yong, after Li Ze gained power, didn't You Yong already take a back seat? Although he became the commander of the soldiers and horses, he did not directly command the army, and they all thought that he had lost power, but now that he came out of Li Ze's Chinese army tent, Han Qi felt that the rumors were really not credible.
While returning the salute, he said: "Your Majesty is in danger, Han is in a hurry, and after getting Li Shuai's military order, he will go day and night, and he will not dare to delay for a moment." ”
You Yong smiled, Han Qi and Li Ze are both in the same town, but Li Ze still has the title of General Qianniuwei, and he also has the position of the general of the Northland March, so he is really Han Qi's boss. "Han Shuai's loyalty is admirable. Please also ask Han Shuai to sit in the tent for a while, and let me serve tea to quench my hunger and thirst. Someone came, went to report to the festival marshal, and said that Han Shuai was coming. ”
"No, I'd like to go to the wounded barracks too." Han Qi waved his hand.
You Yong was stunned, but Xuan even smiled and said, "Okay, I'll lead the way for Han Shuai." ”
Rows of military tents were neatly arranged, in front of them was a drainage ditch about a foot wide, and deliberately thrown lime could be seen everywhere on the ground, in Han Qi's image, the wounded barracks were the dirtiest place, but here, everywhere he could see, it was extremely neat. From time to time, you can see people in white robes with a large red cross on their chests walking through the camp. Instead of the familiar wails and weepings, he could hear the faint sounds of laughter and pleasant conversation coming from the tent.
Turning around a row of tents, he saw a clearing, and on the clearing, there were many strange or strange utensils made of wood or iron that Han Qi did not recognize, and many wounded soldiers were sweating on these utensils.
"What is this?" Han Qi looked at You Yong in confusion.
"Oh, Han Shuai, this area is full of soldiers who have been slightly injured, and it will take about ten days to half a month to heal. After they recover, they will return to their respective units, but long-term recuperation is not conducive to their return to the battlefield, so we Wuwei made these various tools to let these wounded soldiers refine, first, to maintain their strength, and secondly, it is also conducive to their recovery. You Yong, who walked to a pair of instruments while introducing, motioned for the soldier who was on it to come down, and Han Qi noticed that the soldier's legs and feet were obviously not very neat.
You Yong sat down and said with a smile: "This is a rowing machine, which can be used to refine the strength of the waist, abdomen and arms. ”
Han Qi watched You Yong lean forward, holding the oars on the rower with both hands, then leaning back, pulling the oars back with both arms, and the two stone ingots in front of him were pulled straight up by the ropes. You Yong is very powerful, and under this pull, he actually pulled two stone ingots that were only afraid of hundreds of catties directly to the top, attracting the cheers of the soldiers watching on the side.
You Yong, who had been pulling several times, got up with a smile, gave up his position to the soldiers on the side, changed an instrument, half-lay on it, stepped into a rope sleeve with both feet, and then pedaled hard, and a wheel in front of him that was bigger than the wheels of the carriage spun rapidly.
After performing seven or eight different instruments for Han Qi in a row, You Yong's face was already slightly sweaty.
"Han Shuai, our soldiers will be able to recover to their best condition when they get out of the wounded barracks." You Yong said proudly.
"These are all made by Li Shuai?" Han Qi asked.
"Of course, we don't have that brain." You Yong said with a smile: "You see these strange things, they are all made by our Jieshuai after drawing drawings and ordering people, by the way, there is also a thing called a joint instrument by Li Shuai, all of which are made of steel, that is really a good thing, but unfortunately it is expensive, there is no here, I have one at home, if Han Shuai has the opportunity to go to Wuyi in the future, you can take a look." ”
"There will definitely be a chance to go." Han Qi said. "There are minor injuries here, so there must be Luo who is seriously injured and not easy to recover?"
"Of course, after a big battle, there are tens of thousands of dead and wounded, how can there be fewer serious injuries?" You Yong's face was slightly gloomy.
"What is the proportion of Wuwei soldiers who quit the army after the war?" Han Qi asked.
"About two or three!" You Yong thought for a while and said: "Let's take this battle as an example, Shi Zhuang's 20,000 soldiers and horses attacked, and fought three battles in Xingzhou, Beizhou, and Zhaozhou, after the battle, there were almost 5,000 people injured and killed." Among them, almost 1,000 people were killed and wounded in the direct battle, and more than 4,000 were wounded, of which more than 700 were seriously wounded, and these people were determined to withdraw from the army. The remaining 3,000 people were able to return to the army. ”
Han Qi stood up all of a sudden, and looked at You Yong with disbelief on his face: "There are 5,000 casualties, but in the end, more than 3,000 people can return to the army?" ”
You Yong nodded: "Yes, of course, this will be the result only if the battle is won, and if you lose, it will be difficult to say." The last time we fought Shijiawu in Yingzhou, two thousand soldiers, died in a battle, for this matter, Liu Chenglin and Liu Dudu ate a lot of hanging. ”
"How can there be such a high percentage?" Han Qi muttered, still incredulous.
You Yong explained: "After the commander took full power, the first thing he did was to build a complete medical system in the army, and each of them had a health soldier, who did not know much about medical skills, but had received the most basic training of medical officers, and could perform some first aid work on the battlefield. Each of our soldiers carries some first-aid medicine with him, such as stopping bleeding or something. Each post has a medical team, these are all doctors we have trained, although they are nicknamed three-legged cats by the festival marshal, but they specialize in the art industry, and they are not good at other diseases, but they still have some experience for external injuries. And for each song, there is a field hospital. It was not a big one, but it was small, but it was well equipped with serious medical officers, and each battalion had a battalion of wounded soldiers like the one you see now, and generally speaking, the most skilled medical officers were concentrated here to treat soldiers who were not easy to cure. The wounded soldiers you see now were transported from below. ”
"How much does it cost?" Han Qi said.
"It's a lot of money, but it's worth it!" You Yong said with a smile: "Every wounded soldier returns to the army after healing, but they are all treasures, the injured people, the fear of war has been reduced, and more importantly, they will know how to avoid some unnecessary casualties on the battlefield, a soldier like this, can drive a lot of people around, so do the math, the money invested in it, are profitable." ”
Han Qi was silent, he himself was a general who had experienced a hundred battles, of course he knew the preciousness of such a soldier, but the problem was that among his troops, there were too few wounded soldiers who could return to the team, like Wu Wei, more than 5,000 people were injured, and more than 3,000 people could return to the team, he couldn't imagine that where he was, with hundreds to 1,000 people returning to the team, it would be a great achievement.
"There's a serious injury ahead." You Yong pointed to the military tent in front of him and said, "After they recover from their injuries, they will retire from active service." Where should the marshal be now. ”
