Chapter 170: Who is to blame for a bad fate?
Chapter 170: Who is to blame for a bad fate?
"Father, this move is inappropriate!" Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan and said solemnly. Li Yuan is the emperor, and as soon as his golden mouth is opened, it will be difficult for things to maneuver. Therefore, Li Jiancheng decided to discuss it with Li Yuan and not make this decision hastily. When Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin to go down to Dali Temple for questioning, Li Jiancheng actually understood Li Yuan's intentions. This is for Li Shimin's safety, first transfer Li Shimin back from the Luoyang front, let Chen Yingding be in front, Xin'an and Hangu Pass, can be guarded, once you can't keep it, then give up Kanto.
Li Yuan's eyebrows raised, and his eyebrow bones jumped up suddenly, obviously Li Yuan was suppressing his anger: "Prince, what are your plans?" β
"Erchen hasn't thought of it for the time being...... But ......" Li Jiancheng thought for a while, and then said: "But in the land of the eighteen counties of Henan Prefecture, thousands of Guanzhong athletes are exchanged for blood, if you give up Guandong like this, what is the point of the death of these thousands of athletes!" β
Xiao Yu bowed and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister thinks ...... The battle of Luoyang, the Tang Dynasty has been defeated, the loss of 100,000 soldiers, now the heaviest thing is to guard the Hangu Pass and Tongguan portal, Hangu Pass is 480 miles away from Chang'an, Tongguan is more than 300 miles away from Chang'an, once the second pass falls, Wang Shichong's army will be fast in three days, slow in one day, you can kill under the city of Chang'an, Your Majesty must make a decision immediately......"
"Shut up!" Li Jiancheng unceremoniously interrupted Xiao Yu's words and said: "Wang Shichong's army has not yet set off, and it will flee in the wind, no matter how high-sounding it is, giving up Luoyang and Kanto is to escape, and it will be ridiculed by the people of the world." β
Li Yuan slowly turned his head and looked at Chen Shuda and Pei Lian. I saw Pei Lin lowering his eyebrows and not saying a word.
Li Yuan turned to look at Feng Deyi and asked, "Feng Lun, you say!" β
Feng Deyi raised his head and said: "The minister is not in favor of giving up Kanto!" β
A hint of joy appeared in Li Jiancheng's eyes.
Xiao Yu was furious: "Flattery." β
Feng Deyi didn't seem to hear Xiao Yu's words, and continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, no matter how much you pretend to be wrong, you want the enemy to be cowardly, and losing the city and land is to flee and be a coward. β
Li Yuan stared at Feng Deyi with interest, Li Jiancheng let out a long breath, but Feng Deyi then spoke again: "The minister does not ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin, after all, the loss of 100,000 soldiers and horses, this responsibility is borne by someone." β
Xiao Yu was dumbfounded and scolded: "Villain-"
Feng Deyi was unmoved, and continued with great righteousness: "Although His Royal Highness the King of Qin is a prince, but in front of the law, the prince and the common people are guilty of the same crime, the dignity of the court is important, but the survival of the Tang Dynasty is more important. β
Li Yuan said with a smile: "Slippery headββ! β
Feng Deyi said: "The minister thinks that whether to give up Guandong depends on two things, the first one, the new defeat of King Qin, in Luoyang, General Chen led the remnants of the army to defeat the general, whether he can stop Wang Shichong; Second, will Dou Jiande of Hebei move westward, and whether the defense lines of Hangu Pass and Tongguan are stable......
At this moment, a voice came from outside the main hall - urgent reportββ!
An officer of the left prison gate covered in rain ran up to the hall in embarrassment and threw himself forward: "Urgent report...... Kanto Express ......! β
Li Yuan, who was originally sitting on the imperial couch and was still calm, suddenly stood up, staring at the left guard officer with two eyes.
The officer hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Zuo Jianmen learned that Dou Jiande of Hebei led an army of 300,000 to storm Xiangzhou, Xiangzhou was defeated, and now it has fallen ......"
β¦β¦
In the big tent of the Tang Army camp in the north of Luoyang, the heavy rain was like a pour. Looking at the rain curtain in the sky, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's really a great Tang Dynasty, under such weather, Wang Shichong will definitely not be able to send troops, and we can get a rare respite." β
When the generals heard this, a slight smile appeared on their gloomy faces.
Only Chen Ying looked worried.
Looking at Chen Ying's abnormality, Li Shimin asked with a smile: "General Chen, is it wrong to say that this rain is not good?" β
"It's not good!" Chen Ying said lightly: "Although this rain came quickly and suddenly, it can delay Wang Shichong's use of troops and win a precious opportunity for our Tang army, but it is ......."
Li Shimin asked nervously, "But what?" β
"However, it will increase the casualties of our army!" Chen Ying patiently explained: "You are all veterans who have led the army for many years, and you will definitely find a problem, that is, there are not many soldiers who are injured in winter, especially external injuries, and there are not many soldiers who die of serious injuries, but whenever the weather is hot or rainy, many wounded soldiers who were originally slightly injured and can be healed in the rest of the month die of treatment......
Chen Ying's words immediately attracted the attention of all the generals in the big tent, especially Cheng Zhijie took the lead in agreeing: "What General Chen said is extremely true, if you don't say it, I really can't remember it, listening to you say this today, it's really like that!" β
Qin Qiong nodded, indicating that she complied.
Li Shimin frowned and asked, "General Chen, is there really such a situation, what is the reason for this?" β
"It's because there's something called bacteria on the wound!" Chen Ying looked at the generals with doubts on their faces and explained: "This kind of bacteria, we can't see it with the naked eye, but this kind of thing likes temperature and humidity, and in the rainy and high temperature season, it will multiply quickly, so that the flesh of the wound will rot quickly......
What Chen Ying said was the truth, and the generals also knew that the wounds of wounded soldiers were easy to rot in summer, and in winter, unless the wounds were not treated in time, they would generally not become inflamed, infected and rotten.
Li Shimin said: "I didn't expect General Chen to be so knowledgeable and talented!" β
Chen Ying explained: "Hehe...... This is what Chen Ying saw from a lone medical book! β
Li Shimin really broke the posture of the casserole to ask the end, and then asked: "What kind of medical book?" β
As the so-called lie, there must be countless lies to round out this lie. Chen Ying's knowledge of ancient medical books is very limited, even if the medical books that were lost in later generations may not be absent in this era.
Because Yang Guang had repaired a large number of books during the period, and when Chang'an was captured by Li Yuan, it was surrendered without a fight, and it was not affected by the war at all. At the turn of the Sui and Tang dynasties, these books were greatly protected. For example, Hua Tuo's "Qing Capsule Sutra", "Zhongzang Sutra", "Medical Heart Prescription", and "Acupuncture Sutra" were not lost in the Sui Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, after the Anshi Rebellion and the Huangchao Rebellion, these precious soul treasures were lost in the war.
What Chen Ying couldn't be sure of was that he made up the name of an ancient book, in case Li Shimin returned to Chang'an and sent out to find it, once he found that it didn't match what Chen Ying said, Chen Ying would have a lot of fun. After thinking about it, Chen Ying had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "This book is called "Compendium of Materia Medica", and the author is said to be a person named Li Shizhen, this Li Shizhen is a native of Qichun, Qizhou. β
Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and was sure that he had never heard of the medical book "Compendium of Materia Medica", and the generals present, although most of them knew Braille, they also didn't know much about medical books. Li Shimin asked everyone, including the erudite Li Xiuning, who had never heard of this book.
Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying suspiciously: "General Chen, is there any record in this medical book, and how to prevent it?" β
"It's a little recorded, only Chen Ying has not been able to find a drug called penicillin so far!" Chen Ying said with great regret: "If you can find Artemisia annua, you can refine artemisinin, and it can also be used to heal wounds!" β
In fact, Chen Ying vaguely remembered that when he saw the penicillin encyclopedia in later generations, he once saw that as early as the Tang Dynasty, the tailors of Chang'an City would put the paste with green hair on the fingers cut by scissors to help the wound heal, because the substance produced by green hair (penicillin bacteria) has a bactericidal effect, that is, people first used penicillin.
But Chen Ying is not a doctor, he does not dare to use the medicine that has not been tested practically on these wounded soldiers, in case there are sequelae, or the wound is infected, Chen Ying is not to treat the disease and save people, but to murder.
Of course, Chen Ying still ordered the right guard to lead all the Xun Second Mansion to escort Chen Huairen and Chen Huairen's medical team to the northern camp of Luoyang to treat the wounded soldiers.
At this time, the northern battalion had already been full of wounded soldiers, and the surviving Tang army was less than 50,000 horses, in fact, more than two-thirds of them were lightly and seriously wounded soldiers, and most of them were wounded by fire, these burns were also very difficult to treat in later generations, with this rainstorm, many wounded soldiers' wounds were soaked in rain, and the symptoms of increased body temperature and unconsciousness occurred, Chen Ying knew that this was a sign of wound inflammation.
The entire medical team of more than 300 people has all surrendered to the tense rescue process, only Chen Huairen, Zhao Yuanqiao and Li Chuqi, three doctors with relatively good medical skills, began to create penicillin with the help of Chen Ying.
However, now that time is pressing, Chen Ying has no choice but to treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor.
He had flour made into bread, but the bread was not eaten, but kept warm. In the high temperature and humidity environment, after three days, thick green hairs grew on these dough cakes.
Chen Huairen wore a thick mask, and with tweezers, he carefully removed the thick green hair from the dough cake and placed it in a clay pot. After working for more than an hour, I finally removed all the green hairs from the dough.
Chen Huairen took a small clay pot, quickly ran out of the greenhouse, came to the outside of the house, quickly took off his mask, and gasped for breath.
Zhao Yuanqiao said unhappily, "It's really terrible, it's so smelly in there, it's almost stunning, it's disgusting!" β
Li Chuqi asked cautiously: "Master, can it still cure injuries with such a disgusting thing?" β
"Yes, sure!" Chen Huairen nodded solemnly and said, "General Chen won't be wrong!" β
Zhao Yuanqiao looked at the disgusting green mess, and forcibly endured the stomach juice rolling in his stomach: "Master, what if you ...... Let's kill people! β
"That's their bad fate, who is to blame!" Chen Huairen said: "Let's go, hurry up and find a few seriously injured people to try!" β
