Chapter 20 Rescue

Back at the camp, Linghu Sheng, Zhang Te and Zhou Yu were waiting for a long time.

When it comes to your own future, no one cares about it.

When they heard that the matter was successful, the three of them suddenly became happy and knelt on one knee in front of Yang Zheng, "Meet the General!"

"No need to be polite." Yang Zheng helped the three of them up one by one.

A few days later, Yang Zheng finally had his own subordinates.

I also feel a lot more at ease in my heart.

After Guo Huai took charge of the defense of Guanzhong, the Yongliang army maintained strict military discipline and took over the defense.

General Cao Xun of the Military Guard stayed in Luoyang, Cao Shuang fled back to Chang'an, and Xia Houxuan was completely suppressed by Guo Huai.

There was only one official in the city named Xia Houxian, the military advisor who offered sacrifices to the wine. He was also a dragon who never saw his tail. Yang Zheng had almost never seen this person.

He was not even present when Guo Huai reprimanded Pang Hui.

When Emperor Ming Tuogu, Xiahou Xian was originally Tuogu's minister, but was later replaced by Sima Yi and Cao Shuang.

Xiahou Xian was also dismissed from his position as the leading general.

During this expedition to Shu, Cao Shuang specially recruited him and promoted him to serve as military advisor and counselor of military aircraft. He intended to let him get some military merits, be plated with gold, and then return to the court. Unexpectedly, the brothers all fell into the mud pit.

In the current situation, the Chinese army has become a child without a mother.

As long as he did not violate military law, Guo Huai would ignore him in most cases.

Yang Zheng's immediate boss died in Luo Valley. The organization of the Chinese army was still in chaos. Several captains had no intention of leading the army. Those with connections followed Cao Shuang and fled back to Luoyang. Those without connections lived in a low profile and did not show their faces easily.

In this way, there is some freedom.

The three of them were surprised when they heard that Yang Zheng was going to treat the wounded soldiers.

There are seven or eight thousand wounded soldiers and wounded civilians in the city, not twenty or thirty thousand. How can they be treated?

"Just do your best and obey fate." Yang Zheng also knew that his strength was limited, but when he thought of the wounded soldiers struggling in the rain, he always felt like a stone was weighing on his heart.

Zhang Te bowed his hands and said, "If this happens, the general has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness."

Benevolence and justice?

To my ears, it feels like irony.

In an era full of wild beasts and executioners, who dares to be truly benevolent and righteous?

Linghu Sheng frowned and said: "Although the general is benevolent and righteous, it is not appropriate to speak openly at this time. Things are done in secret and words are used to vent the failure. If someone with an intention to spy on it, it will inevitably lead to complications."

Yang Zheng suddenly felt that it made sense, which was why he asked the three people to discuss it.

One person is short-witted, and three people are wise.

With the current situation, how could the Yongliang Army tolerate themselves doing things under their noses?

Moreover, Guo Huai is not a simple person, and he must be able to see the meaning behind him.

Maybe a random accusation of evil intentions would come up, and Xia Houxuan wouldn't be able to save himself by then.

Good intentions may not necessarily accomplish good things, not to mention that Yang Zheng's move was inherently selfish.

"That's right, things are done in a secret manner and should not be made public." Yang Zheng adopted Linghu Sheng's opinion.

It's better to keep a low profile these days.

Zhang Te and Zhou Yu summoned their subordinates, and number 134 gathered together.

Everyone's face looked as if they were mourning for their heirs, without any vitality at all.

He is as ragged as a beggar.

Some veterans still had a look of disapproval on their faces.

This is my own team.

It's impossible to complete it all.

When the tiger and leopard cavalry formed an army, they either selected the most capable soldiers, or recruited hundreds of generals from each camp to serve as soldiers. They were unrivaled in the world. They killed Yuan Tan in the battle of Nanpi, defeated Wuhuan in the north and killed Jian Dun, and pursued him at Changbanpo.

Kill Liu Bei and defeat Ma Chao in the battle of Guanzhong.

In just thirty years, what was once the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and now the Wuwei Camp has become like this.

On the one hand, it is to guard Luoyang, which has been tempered by iron and blood.

On the other hand, the sons and nephews of powerful men and women joined in, and things gradually became slack from top to bottom.

Yang Zheng selected fifty-two loyal people and gave half of the gold and silver to Linghu Sheng, asking him to buy medicinal materials and grain.

Since you are acting in secret, you don't want to show your face. Just let Zhang Te and Zhou Yu handle everything.

Yang Zheng took the remaining dozen or so people back to the small courtyard, pried open several houses next door, and tidied them up a bit.

Chun Niang has already brought the doctor back.

The doctor's surname was Cheng, and he was the thirteenth in his family. His real name had long been forgotten in the troubled times. He learned medical skills when he was young and could treat both humans and animals.

In this world, human life is not as good as livestock.

Yang Zheng promised two meals a day and three liters of millet, and Cheng Shisan readily agreed.

Soon Linghu Sheng brought a cart of grain, half wheat and millet, and some herbs.

It was not yet the autumn harvest season, there was no harvest, food was ridiculously expensive, and it was impossible to buy it on the market.

Moreover, Wugong City is small, and the merchants in the city have long since fled.

"This Cao Xia is so greedy that he received only one and a half catties of gold from three hundred catties of grain." Linghu Sheng complained endlessly.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but click his tongue. Normally, two pounds of gold could buy a small house in Luoyang.

When Sima Yi was in charge of the town of Yongliang, he vigorously cultivated the land. Within a few years, there was plenty in Guanzhong. In the third year of Qinglong, there was a famine in Luoyang. Sima Yi transported 5 million dendrobium grains to Beijing.

Food in Guanzhong may be expensive, but it's not that expensive.

Cao Xia's food was all deducted from military rations.

The Cao family dare to reach out for anything.

But then again, if you don't buy from him, no one else can buy food anywhere.

Although his body ached, Yang Zheng still pretended not to care, "Thank you Ziqian for your hard work."

As curfew approached, wounded soldiers were brought back one after another.

Dr. Cheng is too busy alone.

Yang Zheng also learned some simple first aid in his previous life, so he was fine with getting started.

Zhang Te and Zhou Yu were reliable in their work, and all the wounded they brought back were carefully selected.

The internal organs were not injured, and most of the time the body collapsed due to lack of timely treatment and care and long-term starvation.

If he was seriously injured, he would not be able to escape back to Guanzhong under the pursuit of the Shu army and wild beasts.

I was busy until late at night, and only about 30 people were settled.

The efficiency is really low.

And the treatment methods are a bit rough.

Clean and apply bandages for minor injuries, amputation for major injuries...

If the internal organs or critical areas are injured, carry them away directly.

Fortunately, some soldiers with flexible minds were able to treat wounds in the same way.

The wounded soldiers who survived to this day lack even more care.

Yang Zheng was busy all night. Occasionally, the scolding of patrolling cavalry and the cries of wounded soldiers could be heard outside the courtyard.

At dawn, Zhang Te and Zhou Yu went out again.

Linghu Sheng was sent back to the camp by Yang Zheng, so he could report any news in the army as soon as possible.

Chun Niang was busy cooking and boiling water, her feet never touching the floor.

Yang Zheng originally thought she was just a vase raised by the Cao family, but he didn't expect her hands and feet to be so nimble.

Suddenly I thought, why not recruit some women? Firstly, women are more delicate after all, and secondly, the people in the city were conscripted into Luo Valley, resulting in heavy casualties and many widows.

There have been wars all year round, and the three countries have more women than men.

Moreover, military sergeants must not stay outside for a long time, as they will be discovered sooner or later.

When he told Chun Niang his idea, Chun Niang clapped her hands and said, "The general has a kind heart. As long as he has two meals a day, the women in the city will definitely be willing to come."

Life is not easy these days.

Yang Zheng entrusted this matter to Chun Niang.

After a busy day and night, everything was on track, and Yang Zheng took the soldiers back to the camp.

As soon as he returned to the camp, he encountered wine and meat sent by Xiahou Xuan.

I was overjoyed immediately, just in time to reward everyone.

I sent someone out to inquire, and sure enough, other battalions were also assigned.

With Xia Houxuan's current situation, the Yongliang army had no chance. Guo Huai used his rebuke to Pang Hui to win over the Yongliang army and suppress Xiahou Xuan.
