Eight hundred and thirty-five contagion
It was already the third day when Sun Simiao received the invitation of Li Erma, after all, he had just returned from the grassland, and he had been tired all the way, and the Northern Expedition to the grassland army won a complete victory, but the number of casualties was not many, and the casualties were few at first, and later the resistance of Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks was strengthened, and the casualties gradually increased.
They may not have high medical skills, but what they are best at is bandaging and treating wounds, it is precisely that the most wounded soldiers on the battlefield are such injuries, they only need to clean the wound and then apply medicine to bandage it to pick up a life, if there is no such ambulance, then the weather is hot, the wound is inflamed, it is not saved, in this era without antibiotics, the fastest treatment of the wound is the essence of saving lives.
Sun Simiao himself is mainly responsible for presiding over the overall situation, playing a role in stabilizing people's hearts, he is the most famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, the person with the highest title among the doctors, enjoying the treatment of the national prince, with the allowance of the imperial court, his storage zài is a banner, a living signboard, a thought, and Qin Qiongzhi is the same as the army, there are so many people, their value in life is much greater than in death, even if they do nothing, they can also have the effect of stabilizing people's hearts.
With Sun Simiao walking around in the wounded soldiers, then the wounded soldiers will be very relieved, with Mr. Sun here, we can't die, although some of the wounded soldiers with broken hands and legs have no hope of continuing to fight, but they can continue to live, and. It is also possible to be included in the boot camp as an instructor and continue their military career.
Sun Simiao and his medical brigade have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty to reduce casualties and increase the survival rate, Li Erma also felt that it was an extremely correct decision to do that, in recent years, the storage of the Chang'an General Hospital has given him a lot of help, whether it is marching to fight or treating the plague, the plague that has made Li Ermajesty Xià afraid so far is still fresh in his memory, and the storage of the Chang'an General Hospital is too necessary.
Sun Simiao, as the dean and soul figure, is the most important thing, if it weren't for the fact that the plague in Goguryeo had reached the point where it was enough to wipe out the country and the species, Li Erma really didn't want Sun Simiao to take risks, and it was also dangerous to treat the plague. But since Suning proposed. It is absolutely not good for the Tang Dynasty to let all the Goguryeo people die because of this, and the only way to do it is to dispatch the great god Sun Simiao.
After receiving the invitation of Li Erma, Sun Simiao tidied up a little and entered the palace. met with Li Erma. This is in the past. It is a great kindness for a healer to enter the palace, but today, the healer is still not the healer of the past. It is not uncommon to enter the palace, it is just to cure diseases and save people, Sun Simiao thought that the queen's due date was about to arrive, so he wanted to invite Sun Simiao to go to the palace to have a look, the first few times Sun Simiao watched it, and this time it was naturally the same.
However, the place where he met Li Erma, it was not the queen's bedroom as Sun Simiao expected, but Li Ermao's study, Sun Simiao felt a little strange, the ministers summoned by the emperor in the study were generally confidants and important ministers, discussing state affairs, although the status of Sun Simiao's doctors had been greatly improved, but it was not enough to enter the house to participate in state affairs, right?
Sun Simiao entered Li Erma's study with doubts, and as soon as he entered, before he had time to salute, Li Ermaxi greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Sun has worked hard, this time the army is on the Northern Expedition, if it weren't for Mr. Sun's full efforts to rescue the wounded soldiers, I Datang wouldn't know how many good sons I would have to lose, and I would like to thank Mr. Sun!" Mr. Sun's merits must be greatly commended. ”
Sun Simiao smiled slightly and bowed: "Your Majesty is too famous, the old man is just doing his best, and thanks to the other doctors and medical soldiers, if there is no them, the old man alone is also powerless, so please also reward those doctors and medical soldiers, they are the greatest heroes." ”
Li Ermajesty said with a smile: "Mr. Sun is too modest, come on, Mr. Sun, please take a seat, Zhao Chen, serve tea!" Mr. Sun, this is the best Biluochun just offered by Sufu, sweet and pure, one bite down, lips and teeth are fragrant, it is really a good tea, and please Mr. Sun to taste it. ”
Sun Simiao knelt on the cushion, picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and sure enough, his lips and teeth were fragrant: "Good tea, good tea, thank you Majesty, it's just that here, it should be the place where Your Majesty and the ministers of the court and the central government discuss state affairs. ”
Li Erma sighed slightly and said, "Actually, this matter shouldn't bother Mr. Sun, and it's not my Datang's trouble, it's Goguryeo's trouble!" ”
Sun Simiao was puzzled: "Goguryeo? Wasn't he defeated by Su Hou Ye? Could it be that there is something unusual? ”
Li Er's majesty said: "Defeat is defeat, and send a large army to arrive and completely wipe it out, but before this army left the grassland, a plague broke out in Goguryeo. ”
Sun Simiao immediately put down the teacup and asked, "Plague?" ”
Li Erqi nodded and said: "Suning gave me a lesson, saying that a large number of people were killed in the melee of Goguryeo for several months, and because of the chaotic situation, the forces of all parties only knew how to fight for territory, and did not pay attention to the safety of the people below, and they did not have the time and energy to clean up the corpses of those soldiers and dead people, it was still a little cold some time ago, and the corpse had not yet decomposed.
This Goguryeo is now in a mess, where is the time and the way to deal with the plague? Around my Datang to save the best, but also made 10,000 people die, this Goguryeo is said to have more than 300,000 people have died for this, this number is still increasing, from the disease to the death of only three days, the fastest half a day has died, the ferocity of this plague is far more than my Tang Dynasty, so Suning said, if the Tang Dynasty does not intervene, then Goguryeo is likely to die for this country. ”
Sun Simiao's body trembled, and his face was full of disbelief: "Extinction of the country and the extinction of the species? ”
Li Erma said sternly: "Yes, although Suning is young, he has never said big things, and when he says this, it is really very likely that this will be the case." The life or death of the Goguryeo people has nothing to do with my Datang, but if the Goguryeo people die, it will not be of the slightest benefit to my Datang, and this plague seems to be different from the plague of my Datang, if this plague also infects my Datang people, then it will be a big deal, take precautions, I still hope that Mr. Sun can help. ”
Sun Simiao frowned, stood up and said solemnly: "The heart of the doctor's parents is even a Goguryeo." In the face of such a tragic situation. The old man also concluded that it was impossible to ignore nothing, but judging from Su Houye's description, this plague was indeed very different from the plague last time in my Tang Dynasty, and it was more powerful. Even more destructive. It is a great plague after the dead. However, it is still different from what is recorded in ancient books, and it is only half a day to three days from illness to death, which is too terrifying. You must not let it go, Your Majesty, the old man please take a doctor from Chang'an General Hospital to Goguryeo. ”
Li Erma nodded and said: "Then, please ask Mr. Sun to go back and prepare, do everything you need, you can tell me, as long as Datang still has it, it will definitely be satisfied, tomorrow I will arrange people to escort you to the Liaodong Peninsula, Suning is there, and it is also the closest place to the Goguryeo epidemic area, however, Mr. Sun must be careful, Mr. is too important to my Datang, if it is for the Goguryeo people and Mr. has something unexpected, I would rather Goguryeo be wiped out!" ”
Sun Simiao smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, the old man is just a doctor, and a doctor should do what he should do, everyone performs their duties, officials govern the country, the army fights, soldiers fight, farmers farm, businessmen do business, the Tang Dynasty will be strong today, the old man is just icing on the cake, it's nothing, His Majesty can give the old man such a high title and treatment, the old man is grateful, and he dare not have any slack." ”
Li Ermaxi held Sun Simiao's hand: "Mr. Sun understands the righteousness, which is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty. ”
Sun Simiao was sent to the Liaodong Peninsula by Li Er's Majesty, accompanied by more than 200 doctors in the Chang'an General Hospital who have studied and understood the plague and a large number of medical soldiers, and then there are four or five ships of medicinal materials, Sun Simiao said that he still doesn't know what kind of plague this plague is, and the medicinal materials related to the plague in the past must be brought, some can be taken on the spot, and some need to be brought from the Tang Dynasty.
Suning received the news that Sun Simiao was coming, and was very happy, because the news from Zhang Liang and the blood drops these days has shown that the situation of the plague is getting stricter and stricter, even if the three forces have made great efforts, but the plague is constantly spreading, taking people's lives, and there are already three blood droplets infected with the plague and died, Suning immediately ordered all the blood droplets of Goguryeo to withdraw from Goguryeo, whether it is to Yingzhou or to the Liaodong Peninsula, as long as they save their lives.
The excellent spies of the blood drops are all treasures, and they have made great contributions to the march of the Tang Dynasty, and any loss of them is a huge loss for the blood drop organization, and it is also a huge loss for the whole Datang, for these heroes of the second front, Suning does not seem to have any mistreatment and abandonment.
As for Zhang Liang's third request for additional troops, there are more than 10,000 Goguryeo people who have fled from Quangai Suwen's territory or from other places, and there are all soldiers and civilians, Zhang Liang will not let go of any of them, and those Goguryeo people who don't care about anything for their lives have also become ruthless, and they actually confronted the Tang army head-on, Zhang Liang didn't care at first, and as a result, he was almost broken through the defense line.
Zhang Liang led the army to desperately stop the defense line, and then Zhang Liang was furious and transferred the Eight Bull Crossbow Team, and more than 20 Eight Bull Crossbows were lined up behind the defense line, and one appeared to shoot one, this kind of battlefield weapon seemed to be a bit excessive in such a place, but soon Zhang Liang found that this was not too much, and those Goguryeo people instead used arrows as weapons to charge the Tang Dynasty, this is not a refugee, this is an offensive behavior.
Suning was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered an army of 2,000 people to go to support, and then brought an incendiary canister and gave Zhang Liang an order to kill all these people who tried to storm the Datang defense line, and none of them were allowed to stay, Zhang Liang also killed all the Goguryeo people in one night, and then piled them together and burned them clean, drifting away with the wind, temporarily deterring those Goguryeo people who were still planning to attack the Datang defense line.
However, the day after doing this, Zhang Liang was very shocked to receive a report from the soldiers below - early this morning, a full thirty soldiers with high fever were found in the barracks, covered in cold sweat, sometimes shivering, unable to get up, just shouting that it was uncomfortable, Zhang Liang was almost scared out of the heart attack, and immediately ordered these thirty people to be isolated separately, and all those who had contact with them were quickly isolated in other places, and then everyone washed their hands with clean water, Take off all the clothes on your body and burn them, then put on new clothes.
These are all soldiers who participated in yesterday's battle.
Zhang Liang realized that the plague had finally infected the Tang soldiers. (To be continued......)
