Chapter 321: Scraping the Bone to Treat the Poison
"Xiangzhou has been restored, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Xiangzhou has been restored!"
"."
Those sounds could be heard everywhere in the Zhou army camp that was filled with war.
Many Liao army officers and soldiers couldn't help but look at Xiangzhou's position, where fireworks were being released for a long time.
Only at this moment did Yelvren understand that the situation was over.
Although, he had long been prepared for the fall of Xiangzhou.
But this does not mean that all the officers and soldiers of the Liao army can feel relieved about the loss of Xiangzhou.
As a result, under the comprehensive counterattack of the Zhou army, the Liao army was retreating steadily.
If Xiangzhou was lost, it would be equivalent to losing their 'home', so how could they fight?
After Yelvren sighed, he had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat northward.
Wei Yuan held the Guandao in his hand and rushed in front of the soldiers, killing some Liao soldiers who were just trying to escape until they were frightened.
Unexpectedly, among the rebels, an arrow hit his left arm.
Fortunately, he was protected by armor and the arrow did not hit too deep.
Wei Yuan broke the arrow shaft with skill and continued to lead the army to kill the enemy bravely without affecting the injury.
About half an hour later, under the command of Yelv Renxian, the Liao army had stabilized its formation and slowly moved northward.
Seeing this scene, Wei Yuan couldn't help but sigh,
"If I see that the situation is over and lead my troops to retreat, I must not be so meticulous."
The scarred Shen Qing and Xiao Yuming walked up to Wei Yuan and said one after another:
"Commander of the Guard, this is a God-given opportunity. The last general is willing to lead elite troops to pursue the victory."
"Commander Wei, we must not let Mr. Yelu escape!"
"."
Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "Where are the elite soldiers in our army?"
If the fight continues, the desperate Liao army will probably fight to the death.
By then, it’s hard to say who will win and who will lose.
Moreover
Wei Yuan looked down at the scar on his abdomen, and a burning pain continued, making him feel helpless.
Shen Qing and others looked at the Liao army advancing further and further, and felt regretful.
"If you miss this opportunity, I don't know how long it will take."
"As Commander Wei said, our army is no longer able to pursue the enemy."
"."
Wei Yuan ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Camps, food, arrows, these are all materials that must be collected and inspected after every battle.
And, there are those bodies.
The corpses of the Liao soldiers were burned collectively.
As for the Zhou soldiers who died in the battle, they were transported to the tombs prepared for them in advance.
After arranging everything, Wei Yuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, or he almost fainted due to excessive bleeding, but was fortunately supported by Xiao Yuming.
At this time, Chen Daniu came over and said hurriedly: "Commander Wei, are you injured?"
Wei Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything."
Then, he ordered again: "Daniu, assemble the Danglu army and follow my commander to march to Linzhang immediately."
Xiao Yuming said: "No, Commander Wei, you are seriously injured and need a good rest!"
Wei Yuan looked at the injury on his abdomen, frowned slightly and said, "It's okay. Counting the time, the Battle of Linzhang should have already started."
"This commander must personally supervise the battle. Seeing that our army has completely annihilated Yelu Xin, all the armies under his command will be able to do so!"
"Shen Qing, sent someone to inform your majesty that Xiangzhou has been restored. Our army fought with the enemy in the field and defeated the large with less, and won a great victory!"
The Liao army's night attack on Zhou's camp was a groundbreaking feat for them.
Because factors such as early precautions are not considered.
This was the only field battle between the Zhou army and the Liao army in which a smaller number defeated a larger number.
It must be reported to the imperial court and celebrated by everyone.
It can also give the people reassurance.
Shen Qing immediately wrote a good news and sent it to the capital.
Chen Daniu persuaded Wei Yuan,
"Commander of the Wei, the general will lead the Danglu army to Linzhang. Please rest assured, Commander of the Wei, as long as Liang Da fights the enemy decisively, the general will personally command the Danglu army and penetrate into the heart of the enemy!"
Wei Yuan took a deep look at him and said, "The battlefield is changing rapidly. It's okay for you to take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops. But is it possible to command an army?"
Chen Daniu asked back: "Commander Wei doesn't believe in the general? The general is willing to issue a military order!"
Wei Yuan shook his head, "You just need to answer whether you can do it."
Hearing this, Chen Daniu nodded firmly and said: "It can be done!"
Wei Yuan smiled and saw a raised stone next to him. He sat down and after exhaling a breath, his face turned paler.
"Daniu, go ahead, I'm waiting for good news from you."
Chen Daniu was about to clasp his fists and leave.
Wei Yuan couldn't help but warned again: "Be careful in everything."
Chen Daniu chuckled, "Don't worry, brother!"
Wei Yuan shook his head helplessly.
Later, he called Xiao Yuming and said, "How many soldiers do our army have left to fight?"
The latter responded: "There are only 30,000 to 50,000 people who were not injured in this battle. The war has just ended. If we need to take a careful inventory, it will still take an hour or two to figure it out."
Wei Yuan said weakly: "We can't wait that long. You take 50,000 people and march from the Fuyang and Cheng'an areas and detour to Linzhang."
"If you encounter Yelv Renxian's army on the way and block it with all your strength, no Liao army will be allowed to enter Linzhang until the battle of Lin'an comes to an end."
To put it simply, he wanted to connect Linzhang, Neihuang and other areas into a straight line, turning this area into a complete death zone.
Yelu Xinxian's army could not leave this place.
No other Liao army can advance here.
Beating dogs behind closed doors, he wanted to fight a war of annihilation that had never been fought since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.
Xiao Yuming did not dare to hesitate at all and set off immediately.
Wei Yuan was still sitting on the boulder, looking at the soldiers passing by with a faint smile on his face.
When the soldiers saw him, they bowed their heads respectfully and shouted, "Commander Wei."
When no one came to disturb him, Wei Yuan carefully pulled out the arrow from his left arm, and then simply bandaged it. Since the power of the arrow was mostly blocked by the shoulder armor, the arrow was only Once it penetrated the skin, Wei Yuan thought there was nothing wrong with it.
After a while, perhaps because of Wei Yuan's own alarming energy and blood, the injury on his left arm actually stopped bleeding and seemed to be scarring.
At this time, Shen Qing hurried over and said: "Commander Wei, according to your instructions, someone has been sent to deliver good news to the court."
Wei Yuan nodded slightly and looked at the soldiers who were coming and going.
Shen Qing looked at Wei Yuan's wounds and said worriedly: "Commander Wei, would you like to go back to the city to recuperate first?"
Wei Yuan shook his head, "No, it's good to sit here for a while."
Shen Qing said again: "Then I will go find a doctor."
Wei Yuan shook his head again, "No, those soldiers didn't dare to look at me closely, and they wouldn't be able to notice my injuries. I'm worried about the Liao army's counterattack. Our soldiers wouldn't know I was injured, so their fighting spirit must be high. Even if Yelvren counterattacks first, Come here, our army still has the strength to fight."
Counterattack?
Shen Qing asked in confusion: "How is it possible? They retreated and then came back, where is their ambition? Our army."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Yuan interrupted: "Just now I asked Xiao Yuming to lead 50,000 troops to Fuyang."
The Fuyang area was exactly the direction in which the Liao army retreated.
Wei Yuan asked Xiao Yuming to lead his army to Fuyang, not to fight head-on with the Liao army, but to detour to Fuyang under the cover of night to prevent Yelvren from supporting the Liao army outside Linzhang City first.
"When the battlefield is cleared and our army returns to Xiangzhou, everything will be safe."
Wei Yuan said.
Shen Qing had no choice but to nod and stay in front of him.
Waiting to enter Xiangzhou City.
Wei Yuan finally couldn't hold on any longer.
As soon as he walked into the gate of Yuan Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion, he fainted and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, all the Daizhou generals immediately lost their minds.
"Commander Wei! Commander Wei!"
"Doctor, call the doctor quickly!"
"Commander Wei, wake up—"
"."
The entire high-level leadership of the Zhou Army suddenly became a mess.
It wasn't until the doctor stopped Wei Yuan's injuries and asked him to drink a few medicinal soups to replenish qi and blood that his complexion improved slightly.
But the fever still persists.
When the doctor walked out of the room where Wei Yuan lay down, he immediately saw several rough men covered in blood surrounding him.
"How is Commander Wei doing?"
"Is Commander Wei okay?"
"If the Commander-in-Chief makes any mistakes, I will ask you for it."
"."
Doctors have been in the military for a long time, what kind of scenes have they never seen?
But these soldiers in front of me are really scary.
For a moment, he was sweating and hemming and hawing, not knowing what to say.
Afraid that what he said was wrong, the sabers held tightly in the hands of those soldiers fell on his head.
Shen Qing couldn't help scolding: "Everyone, get out of the way and stand aside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers felt as if they were struck by lightning and quickly stood elsewhere.
Shen Qing glared at them fiercely and said:
"Many of you are old men who followed the Commander-in-Chief to guard Yanmen. Why are you so restless?"
After saying that, he looked at the doctor, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, Commander Wei, how are you doing?"
The doctor exhaled, stroked his beard and frowned and said: "Shuai Wei is fine for the time being, but the fever is not going away. I don't know when he will wake up."
Are you okay for now?
Shen Qing suddenly frowned, and in a hurry, he grabbed the doctor's collar and said angrily: "What do you mean temporarily fine?!"
The doctor seemed to feel a pure murderous intention from Shen Qing's eyes, and he suddenly became frightened and frightened.
Seeing this, the surrounding generals surrounded him again and pulled Shen Qing away from the doctor.
"General Shen, stay calm."
"General Shen, according to this doctor, Commander Wei should be fine."
"General Shen, don't worry, stay calm."
"."
The doctor broke into a cold sweat.
Why are all the soldiers under Commander Wei so reckless?
Shen Qing also felt that he had lost his composure, took a deep breath, and bowed to the doctor:
"I hope the doctor won't blame me if I'm in a hurry next time."
The doctor quickly returned the greeting: "You're welcome, General."
At this moment, Wei Yuan's weak voice sounded in the room, "You all, come in."
The doctor was surprised, "You woke up so soon?"
With that, he burst into the room for the first time.
Shen Qing and others followed closely.
Wei Yuan sat on the bed and looked at everyone with a pale face.
"Why are you making such a fuss? You can't even sleep for a while."
When Shen Qing and others saw that Wei Yuan had woken up, they immediately expressed joy and bowed to each other:
"The general will wait until he is convicted."
At this time, the doctor came to Wei Yuan and diagnosed his pulse.
Wei Yuan still had a high fever.
The doctor frowned and said, "It shouldn't be."
A soldier stood behind him, "What shouldn't be done?"
Wei Yuan looked at the doctor.
After a while, the doctor stood up, cupped his hands and said:
"Commander Wei, I've seen all the injuries on your body. The bleeding has stopped. I also made Commander Wei drink some medicine to replenish qi and blood and reduce fever. However, Commander Wei still has a high fever. I don't know, Commander Wei, what are you doing?" Is there any discomfort on your body?”
Originally, as a doctor, these words should not be said to patients.
But the doctor really doesn't know the reason. If the high fever persists due to a deficiency of Qi and blood, it should get better after drinking the medicinal soup.
But now, nothing has improved.
The doctor couldn't help but worry, and wanted Wei Yuan to understand where he felt most uncomfortable, and then prescribe the right medicine.
The so-called looking, hearing and asking, this is ‘asking’.
Wei Yuan felt some pain in his body. Among them, the pain in his left arm was particularly strange, as if there were millions of ants crawling around, it was itchy and painful.
At first, he just thought it was an injury scarring.
Now when the doctor asked, I told him this.
The doctor asked Wei Yuan to take off his shirt.
Then, he carefully observed the injury on his left arm.
"While Commander Wei was unconscious, I changed the gauze that was wrapped around the wound on my left arm, and applied some medicinal materials. I thought it was fine, but it is itchy and painful. Let me wait and see."
As he spoke, the doctor suddenly shrank his pupils and said in shock: "It's poisonous!"
poison?
Shen Qing quickly stepped forward, "What kind of poison?"
The expressions of the soldiers could not help but become nervous.
The doctor said: "When I first looked at Commander Wei's wound, I felt that the bleeding had stopped. It was undoubtedly an ordinary arrow wound. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be poisonous!"
A general with a hot temper suddenly said: "Do you know how to treat diseases?!"
The doctor was startled and said quickly: "Of course it will. But at that time, I saw that there was no poison in the injury on the left arm. The stagnant blood was normal. How could I expect it to be poisonous? This poison seems to be poisonous after a certain period of time. It will appear!"
Shen Qing frowned, "It's poison!"
bane? !
A soldier from the Zhou army spoke up and said, "The chronic poisonous water that Empress Xiao of the Liao Kingdom used to poison her lover's wife, Li? Is there really such a miraculous poison in this world?"
"How to solve it?" Wei Yuan asked.
The doctor shook his head and said: "Once this poison takes effect, it will definitely penetrate into the bone marrow unless otherwise."
Shen Qing said anxiously: "Unless what?"
The doctor looked at Wei Yuan and said seriously: "I wonder if Commander Wei has heard about scraping bones to cure poison?"
Bone scraping to treat poison?
hiss!
All the Zhou soldiers took a deep breath.
Among them, a Zhou army soldier directly dragged the doctor up.
"Mom, scraping the bones to cure the poison? You're lucky enough to say this, think of something quickly, or I'll scrape you alive!"
The doctor was trembling, not knowing what to do.
dove poison
A poison that the Liao army and even the Liao Kingdom were good at using.
People often died in the Liao palace because this poison was used to poison people.
If the armor on Wei Yuan's left arm hadn't blocked most of the arrow's power and only a small amount of the arrow hit his skin, Wei Yuan would have been poisoned and died.
"Those bastards! Damn dog thieves! I'll fight them hard!"
"This...what should I do?"
"Wei Shuai."
"."
All the soldiers were worried about Wei Yuan's safety.
Including Shen Qing.
He has been trying to keep his mental state from collapsing.
Tears were already swirling in the eye sockets.
Wei Yuan looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Quiet."
Then, everyone looked at Wei Yuan.
Some people's lips were trembling and they were almost crying.
Wei Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the doctor, and said seriously:
"Are you proficient in bone scraping to cure poison?"
The doctor was startled and said: "In previous years when I went on an expedition with Commander Zhang, many of the officers and soldiers in the camp were injured by arrows and poison. I have treated them, but only four or five out of ten can survive."
Not even half?
However, for Wei Yuan, there is no way out;
"bring it on."
