Yang Yuanqing's camp is still in Huojia County, Qin Qiong led 20,000 reinforcements to arrive, bringing him urgently needed medicine and military doctors, an ambush war, although he annihilated more than 30,000 enemies, but killed 3,000 enemies, 800 self-inflicted losses, Dou Jiande's stubborn counterattack made him also pay a heavy price of more than 2,000 killed and wounded more than 5,000 people, these are veterans who have followed him for many years, and they are the foundation for him to seek the world, which makes Yang Yuanqing's heart ache, for several days, he spent most of his time in the barracks to visit the wounded and arrange for bereavement.

The camp tent for wounded soldiers is a special big tent, a big tent covers an area of about one acre, it is a huge tent for raising horses seized from the Turks, this kind of big tent is well ventilated, spacious and does not feel depressed, it is very suitable for healing camp tents, and more than 100 wounded soldiers can lie in a big tent.

Most of the wounded soldiers were arrow wounds, and many of them were stabbed by spears during the fierce battle of the cavalry, and some were injured by falling from their horses.

The same is true of the more than 2,000 soldiers killed in the Sui army, only a few hundred soldiers were killed on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers died due to untimely treatment, some died of excessive bleeding, and some died of wound infection, which was a big headache for all armies.

After listening to the report of the doctor Liu Hong, Yang Yuanqing sighed and said to the generals behind him: "The treatment of wounded soldiers is indeed a big problem, a battle is fought for at least two or three hours, and the soldiers have to lie on the battlefield for two or three hours after being injured, it is almost difficult for anyone to survive to the end, and this problem must be solved." ”

As soon as Yang Yuanqing's words fell, Qin Qiong smiled and said, "Zhang Dashuai has also discussed this issue with us, and the discussion is very hot. ”

He turned around and asked Luo Shixin, "Shixin, do you remember?" ”

Luo Shixin nodded and said: "I remember that at that time, Jia Runfu proposed a good way to set up a special rescue medical army, no matter the war, just carry the wounded soldiers, and transport the wounded soldiers back to the camp for treatment as quickly as possible. At the time, everyone was very much in favor. ”

In fact, Yang Yuanqing also thought of the medical soldiers, which was similar to this rescue medical soldier, and he asked: "What happened later, how was the effect?" ”

Luo Shixin's eyes were a little gloomy. He said in a low voice: "Later, the Battle of the Great Sea Temple happened, and this plan was too late to be implemented. ”

Yang Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder, and said to everyone: "This is a good way, everyone is a person who has fought a war, consider more practical and effective relief methods, try to die fewer brothers, and there will be fewer orphans and widows." ”

Then. Qin Qiong brought Jia Runfu in, Jia Runfu is not a general who charges into battle, he is in charge of heavy soldiers in Zhang Xutuo's army, he is a small landowner at the foot of Mount Tai in Lu County, because his sister married Qin Qiong and met Zhang Xutuo, Zhang Xutuo saw that he was very shrewd in accounting and knew a little strategy, so he ordered him to be in charge of military logistics. At present, he is a member of Yang Yuanqing's army, in charge of grain and grass military resources.

Jia Runfu stepped forward to salute, "See the manager!" ”

Yang Yuanqing said with a smile: "We are talking about reducing the death of wounded soldiers. I heard that you have proposed to my master to set up a special rescue medical unit, and we both think it is good, and I would like to hear you talk about other plans. ”

Jia Runfu thought for a while and said: "This matter is actually something I heard from an old military doctor that he once opened a car shop in Licheng County, specializing in leasing and trading ox carts and carriages, and at that time there was a pharmacy that ordered a special carriage to transport emergency patients, and the carriage was very large, with three beds in it, which could transport three patients at the same time. There can be a doctor next to it, and you can treat it on the road, and I think our army can also make this kind of carriage to transport wounded soldiers, with a layer of iron sheet on the outside to prevent arrows, and the carriage should be made bigger. Transporting six wounded soldiers at a time, plus one ambulance medic......"

When Jia Runfu said this, everyone applauded, it was really a good way, Yang Yuanqing secretly thought in his heart, this is the prototype of the ambulance.

At this time, Yizheng Liu Hong also smiled: "I will also make a suggestion!" I've thought about this a long time ago. ”

"You say!" Yang Yuanqing said with interest.

Liu Hong said: "It's about cleaning the wound, we used to wash it with water, and then put medicine, but so the soldier's wound is easy to suppurate, many soldiers have chills and fever and died, and later switched to salt water to wash the wound, but I think the effect is still not ideal, once in Fengzhou, a soldier told me that the effect of washing the wound with good peach wine is good, but alcohol is not allowed in the army, I hope the general manager can specially allow the military doctor to use peach wine." ”

After Liu Hong finished speaking, Yang Yuanqing suddenly remembered that Wei Zheng steamed wine was sold to the Turks, and said with a smile: "You reminded me that Wei Zheng will use the Western Regions method to steam the wine to make the wine stronger, but we don't use peach wine, we can use Shu millet to make wine, and then use the Western Regions method to steam wine, such wine is stronger, and it is best to use it for disinfection. ”

In fact, Yang Yuanqing's medicine for practicing in the past is also a good medicine for wounds, Yang Yuanqing once promoted it in the Fengzhou Army, but later found that that kind of medicine also varies from person to person, and many soldiers used it to be seriously injured, so they gradually stopped using it.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but say: "My old Cheng also proposed a way to make the soldiers not want to die." ”

His voice was very loud, and everyone fell silent all of a sudden, looking at him with strange expressions, isn't this nonsense? What soldier wants to die, and I wonder what bad idea he is going to come up with?

Cheng Yanjin scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Don't look at me with this kind of look, my method is guaranteed to be liked by everyone." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "Actually, Lao Cheng's words are also right, sometimes the pain is better than death, I really want to die, you say it!" What's the solution? ”

Cheng Yanjin glanced at the soldiers who were busy back and forth in the big tent, these soldiers were all here to help take care of the wounded soldiers, and they were all so busy that they were sweating profusely, he fanned his nose with his hand and said in disgust: "Can you replace these stinky men who specialize in taking care of people with beautiful women, in that case, my old Cheng is also willing to be injured." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the generals objected, "No! No women can be present in the barracks. ”

Yang Yuanqing laughed, is Cheng Yanjin going to become the father of nurses?

He waved his hand and said to everyone: "Everyone, in fact, Lao Cheng's method also has a little truth, women have the nature to take care of people, they are careful and considerate, and they can take care of the wounded soldiers meticulously. But if it is a medical soldier, it is different, in the future, our military camp can be separated from a medical battalion, and soldiers are not allowed to enter and exit easily, so that we can recruit female medical soldiers. Now that there are many widows in various places, I have decided to adopt General Cheng's opinion. ”

Cheng Yanjin was so happy that his eyebrows danced, "Boss, recruit more beautiful women, I estimate that Lao Qin and Xiao Luo will pretend to be injured if they are not injured and always fight." How boring! ”

Everyone glared at him, although they still wanted to oppose it, but Yang Yuanqing had already decided, and everyone had no choice, Yang Yuanqing had indeed decided to establish a logistics general medical battalion in Taiyuan and recruit a large number of female medical soldiers, which could solve the livelihood problem of many soldiers' widows. Among them, the able-bodied can use female field guards, which is greatly beneficial to reduce the mortality rate of wounded soldiers.

Yang Yuanqing said to Jia Runfu and Yizheng Liu Hong: "I will leave this matter to the two of you as a special order of the chief administrator." When I return to Taiyuan, I will arrange for the imperial court to assist, and all measures must be put into operation immediately. ”

Jia Runfu and Liu Hong bowed together and said, "Obey orders!" ”

At this time, a personal soldier rushed over and whispered a few words in Yang Yuanqing's ear, Yang Yuanqing was slightly stunned, and then smiled at everyone: "I have something to do, go to the big tent, you continue to comfort the wounded soldiers." ”

Yang Yuanqing turned around and walked out of the big tent, turned over on his horse, and ran along the horse road towards the Chinese army camp. Running to the door of the tent, he dismounted, and a personal soldier came up to meet him, pointing to the guest tent next to him, "Chief, someone is waiting in the tent." ”

Yang Yuanqing asked again: "How many people came?" ”

"There was only one person. There were also a few retinues, waiting in the camp. ”

"The manager has arrived!"

With a soldier's shout, Yang Yuanqing lifted the curtain and entered the guest tent, in which sat a man about thirty years old, who was drinking tea worriedly, this person was wearing a white brocade robe, tall and burly, powerful and powerful, with a long face, and his slender eyes could not help but reveal a trace of coldness.

He heard the shouts outside the tent, and hurriedly stood up, at this time Yang Yuanqing raised the curtain and walked in, the young man saw Yang Yuanqing wearing a golden helmet, and knew that it was the person he wanted to see, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed to salute, "Zheng Guogong of the Eastern Capital, Wang Ren, the general of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Ren, see His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" ”

"You are the nephew of Wang Shangshu!" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

Wang Ren nodded hurriedly and said, "It's right in the next place!" I came to meet His Highness on the orders of my uncle. ”

"Sit down!"

Yang Yuanqing ordered Wang Renze to sit down, and when he saw that the tea on the table had not moved, it was already cold, so he ordered his soldiers, "Pour another cup of hot tea for General Wang." ”

Wang Ren hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you!" Can you change a cup of buttermilk for me, I'm really not used to drinking tea. ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "Go and bring two bowls of buttermilk." ”

The soldiers went out, and Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile: "General Wang has also stayed in the Eastern Capital for several years, isn't he used to drinking tea?" ”

Wang Ren shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I am not a blessed person, I have been accustomed to buttermilk and mare's milk wine since I was a child, and I am really not used to drinking tea, or it is the practice of the Turks, put salt in milk tea, and you can drink a few cups, and I am really not used to ordinary tea." ”

"It's no wonder that habits are hard to break."

Yang Yuanqing greeted him slightly, and then asked him: "Wang Shangshu sent the general to see me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Wang Ren hurriedly took out Wang Shichong's handwritten letter from his arms and presented it to Yang Yuanqing with both hands, "This is my uncle's letter to His Royal Highness, Your Highness, please read it first." ”

Yang Yuanqing opened the letter and read it, his brows furrowed slightly, Li Yuan's army occupied Hongnong County, when did this happen? He didn't know.

"When did Li Yuan send troops to Hongnong?"

"Back to Your Highness, this is what happened just the day before yesterday, as soon as the news came, my uncle ordered me to come to see Your Highness immediately."

Yang Yuanqing continued to read the letter, Wang Shichong pleaded with him in the letter to cooperate with him and drive Li Yuan's army back to Guanzhong, but what kind of cooperation method is what to do after recapturing Hongnong County, but he did not say it in the letter, Yang Yuanqing closed the letter and asked: "Does Wang Shangshu want me to send troops to Hongnong?" ”
