Chapter 19: A Tooth for a Tooth
"Rollin, are all the wounded soldiers here?" Chen Kefu couldn't help but say a little strangely when he saw that although there were many wounded soldiers in this medical hall recuperating from injuries, they were all minor injuries or injuries that did not hurt their muscles and bones.
"My lord, these are only minor injuries, and the seriously injured ones are being raised in another medical center, and the best doctors in Xincheng are also there." Rollin hurriedly replied.
Chen Kefu nodded, "Then let's go over there and visit them right away." ”
When the group arrived at another clinic on the same street, they found that this place and the place were completely different worlds. In the medical hall just now, Zhang Ergou and the others were still in the mood to brag and chat, but as soon as they entered here, they only heard the wails in their ears from time to time, and the painful moans made Chen Kefu's mood fall to the bottom.
About twenty wounded soldiers were parked in the equally empty hall, each lying on the bedboard with sheets of hay on it, and hurriedly glanced around the wounded soldier in the hall. Some had broken hands, some had few feet, some had tight bags on their heads, and some even had broken stomachs
A soldier in his twenties, who was about 20 years old, had been screaming, his head was covered with gauze, and the blood oozing from the gauze made Chen Kefu see at a glance that one of the young soldier's eyes was gone. Because there was no anesthetic, the soldier who had been treated with a simple wound kept screaming in pain.
Chen Kefu squatted in front of him, held his hand and comforted him softly, "Your wound doctor has already helped you deal with it, although it is still very painful, but as long as you endure it for a few more days, you will be fine." ”
The soldier may have been infected and had a fever, and he didn't even see that the general was talking to him. Just moaned and cried, "Won't I be able to see in the future?" Am I going to be a wreck? I still have my parents and brothers, and I haven't married yet."
That crying made many people feel sad in their hearts, Chen Kefu clenched his fists tightly, and the lives of people in the troubled world were like mustard. And the lives of soldiers in troubled times are even less valuable, and it is not uncommon for tens of thousands of casualties to be lost in a big war. But for a wounded soldier, perhaps his life is over, just like this young soldier, who is still so young, unmarried, but already blind, and may even die in a foreign land due to an infection of his wounds.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine. You may have lost an eye, but you are lucky to have one. Although you are disabled, you are my barracks breaker, and I promised you before I came that we would treat everyone well, including his family, to anyone I broke the barracks. Your family, our broken barracks will help you take care of it, if you are worried that you will not be able to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law without one eye, this matter is on me, I will definitely help you find a beautiful daughter-in-law, the most beautiful daughter-in-law. Chen Ke spoke to the soldier over and over again, but the soldier was already burned and could not hear what he said.
"My lord, this guy can't live today, and he can't be saved. I've been fighting for many years, and I've seen a lot of this kind of situation. Once there is such a fever and talking nonsense, basically they can't survive that night. I don't know when it started, Li Benlei and Hu Hai and several other lieutenant colonels and lieutenants stood behind him. For those of them who have been fighting for many years, I don't know how many times they have seen this scene in front of them in the past few years.
"Rollin, call the doctor, call the best doctor here, and I want him to promise me that he will be cured. He is still so young, he has not yet married, and he still has parents and brothers waiting for him to return to reunite. Chen Kefu said as he spoke, his eyes were also soaked with tears, and he felt that his heart was so blocked for a while, and he had traveled to this ancient world for so long. He always thought that he was very adaptable, he thought that he had already adapted to this troubled world, but he didn't expect that he couldn't control himself in front of a strange wounded soldier today.
The officers all felt that the general's performance was a little surprising, this was just a small soldier, and even if he died, it was just a small soldier. There are one or two million such small soldiers in the Great Sui, and such small soldiers die every day. No general had ever been so sad about the death of a soldier before, they thought it was so strange, but they thought it was so deserved, maybe the general was right. The generals in the past were wrong, and the generals were the ones who really loved the soldiers. Soldiers are always more bloody than ordinary people, although they are sometimes the most ruthless and can face death indifferently, but they are also the most easily moved.
Old man Li Benlei looked at Chen Kefu, who was a little out of control, and turned to Luo Lin and said, "Lord Luo Lin, don't send the general back to the house to rest, the general is tired." ”
Luo Lin hurriedly picked up Chen Kefu with a few personal soldiers, and left the medical hall in a hug. When they walked away, all the generals felt the cold aura on Li Benlei's body.
The old man gritted his teeth and said word by word, "These damn Goguryeo people, these Liao dogs, it's not enough to kill my millions of sons in the Central Plains, and now they will continue to hurt my Han family sons." The old man turned his head and looked at the lieutenants next to him and said, "Now we are going to go to those Liao dogs to get some interest back, do you dare to come along?" ”
Hu Hai and the other lieutenants also shuddered when they looked at the murderous aura in the old man's eyes, and everyone understood what the old man meant by asking for some interest.
"But the general has already explained, don't let us kill the prisoners!" Mao Yi said with some hesitation.
Everyone looked at Mao Yi, and there was a feeling of contempt in their eyes, everyone knew that Mao Yi was the confidant of the general, and he brought it out of a Zhuangzi. Otherwise, these lieutenants would probably be scolded on the spot. However, from their eyes, it can also be seen that they have begun to draw a line with Mao Yi and a few of the captains brought by Chen Kefu.
Lu Shishen also saw their movements at once, and he remembered that the general had always told them that they must have a good relationship with those captains. At this time, looking at this embarrassing atmosphere, he hurriedly stood up and patted Mao Yi's shoulder and said, "I said you're still not a man?" Do you have any eggs? If you don't want to go, then stay aside, all of us who come out of Chenjiazhuang are heroes like generals. Old man, let's go, if he doesn't have eggs, then let him go. ”
Mao Yi was woken up by Lu Shishen's words, he and Lu Shishen grew up together, and it was impossible for Lu Shishen to turn his face with him like this. So he quickly understood what he meant, and his clever head turned a little and understood. If he insists on refusing to participate in the action today, then in the future, those captains in their Chenjiazhuang and the other captains will not be able to pee in the same pot. As Chen Kefu's confidant, of course he understands how unfavorable this situation is for the general.
Gritting his teeth, Mao Yi said, "Whoever has no eggs, count me in." ”
Hu Hai and the others' originally tight faces also showed a smile, these men who fought in battle formations are so straightforward, if you are the same as everyone, then everyone will treat you as a brother, otherwise, there will not be a good face.
"Let's go!" The old man saw that everyone agreed, and after a sentence popped out from between his teeth, he took the lead out of the medical hall.
When Chen Kefu was in the infirmary, because of the seriously injured soldier, his heart was a little touched for a while, and he even thought about a lot of messy things in his mind, and his spirit was a little trance, and when he was helped back to the temporary camping place in the south of the city by Luo Lin, he felt a little tired and went back to the room to sleep for a while.
When he woke up, it was already dark, and after Chen Kefu ate some dinner sent by his own soldiers, he didn't see a single officer by his side, even Luo Lin was gone. I couldn't help but ask a little strangely to my own soldiers, "Where is Luo Lin?" Why are all the captains missing? ”
The recruit didn't dare to look at him when he heard Chen Kefu's question, and said hesitantly, "Lord Luo Lin said that he had something to do, and he would come back in a while." ”
Chen Kefu immediately heard the untruth in the soldier's words, and said to him, "You raise your head and look at me, tell me honestly, where are Luo Lin and the captains?" ”
The soldiers were glared at by Chen Kefu's eyes, and immediately sweat broke out on their foreheads, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and said, "My lord, it was Lord Luo Lin who asked me to say this, and he said that if you ask about him, he will come back later." ”
"Say, what are they going to do?" Chen Kefu was already faintly angry, these people were his personal soldiers, and they should be the most loyal to him, but now not only Luo Lin had something to hide from him, but even a personal soldier was hiding from him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"He didn't tell me, but I heard that he and Li Benlei and other lieutenants all went to the warehouse where the Liaogou generals were held, as if they were talking about the revenge of China's revenge."
Chen Kefu understood as soon as he heard it, the old man Li Benlei had all five of his children and grandchildren died in the land of Liaodong, and he had long been a national enemy and a family hatred for those Goguryeo people. And Luo Lin's father also disappeared during the expedition to Goguryeo, and his life and death are still unknown. It is estimated that it was because of the incident in the hospital during the day today that stimulated them, but I don't know who took the lead, and everyone went. At this time, Chen Kefu didn't know what to say, in his heart, he still had some modern thinking, and he never thought of killing those captured prisoners. He always had the concept of not killing prisoners, and even in the Sui Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, he couldn't change it for a while.
Chen Kefu rushed to the warehouse with a few personal soldiers, and he didn't know what he was going to say when he arrived, but he didn't want to see those prisoners of war killed like that. When he arrived at the warehouse, he didn't need to think about what to do anymore, the entire warehouse was already a sea of blood, and most of the more than 300 Xincheng military and political generals and officials imprisoned here had already fallen to the ground, all of whom had been beheaded, and many of them had even been interrogated before they died.
Chen Kefu looked at the situation in front of him with a gloomy face, enduring the pungent smell of blood. "Stop, stop it all."
Several executioners with horizontal knives stopped with knives in their hands, and the last dozen or so Goguryeo people on the ground were constantly begging and wailing, trying to save their lives. Old man Li Benlei walked up to Chen Kefu and said, "My lord, if you want to blame you, it's all my fault, I asked them to follow me, it's all my idea." If you have any punishment to beat, please go back to the barracks first, it's really not suitable here. ”
Chen Kefu glanced at the situation in the warehouse, and it really made people unable to stay, so he had to say, "Everyone will go back to the camp with me, and the remaining Goguryeo people will not be killed again, and clean up this place." ”
The old man followed behind with Hu Hai and other lieutenants, but he quietly turned his head and made a chopping gesture with his palms at the executioners with knives. As soon as the group of generals left the warehouse door, there was a sound of knives slicing into the flesh and the sound of heads rolling to the ground.
Chen Kefu turned around to go back, but Li Benlei suddenly stopped in front of him, his eyes full of determination. After a few attempts, the warehouse had been quiet again, Chen Kefu sighed, and said to the gray-haired old man, "Today, the captured generals of Goguryeo tried to escape, but they were discovered by the guards but gathered a crowd to resist, and they were all killed on the spot by the soldiers who bravely broke the barracks. After saying that, he turned and walked longingly, walked a few steps and stopped.
"Today, all officers above the rank of brigade commander are responsible for the negligence of the guards, and they are ordered to pay each of them a month of confiscation of silver, and if they commit any more crimes, they will be held accountable." After speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and left with a few personal soldiers.
