Chapter 709
It was quiet in a side room, with only a few "rustling" sounds. The whole room was filled with the smell of herbs, and there was also a faint smell of blood mixed in.
Chenyue and Xue Leihan were standing by the bed and looking at each other. Lying on the bed was an unconscious young man with wounds all over his body. A medical officer in cloth robes was changing his dressing.
I was always careful, for fear of being bumped into by him.
The piles beside the bed were all freshly replaced gauze, red and white, and the snow-white gauze was almost stained red with blood.
"Is it him?" Chen Yue asked with a frown.
"That's right, he has been in this coma since the sentry brought him back. He has never woken up, and he only hums occasionally." Xue Leihan replied softly.
Chen Yue stretched out his finger and probed the young man's nose, shook his head and said: "How can this be that there is still half a life left? It is obvious that there is only one breath left, and he may die at some point."
That thin, gossamer breath can't be detected unless you get closer.
There was a strange look on Chenyue's face. All the injuries on his body were from sword wounds and arrow wounds. This guy obviously saved his life on the battlefield.
But this guy with thin arms and legs doesn't look like a general leading an army in battle.
Xue Leihan shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not answer.
"Can it still be saved?" Chen Yue turned to look at the medical officer on the side and asked.
The medical officer quickly bowed and said: "To tell you what the prince is saying, it is difficult to survive. I have tried every available method. Whether he can survive or not depends on his luck."
Chen Yue sighed, he knew that medical officers were not gods, and they could not bring back this person who had entered the gate of hell.
"Kill, kill~"
Suddenly, an extremely weak voice came from the young man's mouth.
Chen Yue raised his eyebrows and leaned down to listen carefully.
"Kill~kill~"
After muttering twice, the young man fell into a coma again and made no movement at all.
"Interesting." Chenyue raised his head and smiled, turned around and warned: "As soon as he wakes up, come and repay me immediately!"
"No!" the medical officer bowed and shouted.
Chenyue and Xueleihan walked out of the house and strolled slowly in the house. The two brothers hadn't taken such a leisurely walk for a long time.
Xue Leihan asked softly: "Brother Yue, what do you plan to do with this man named Yelu?"
After all, they are the two brothers who first met each other, and their relationship in private is still very casual.
Chenyue shook his head slightly and said: "Let's wait until he wakes up and confirms his identity. Don't be a spy sent by Yan Rong. But to be honest, if he is really from Yelu's lineage, we may be able to take advantage of him."
Xue Leihan walked forward slowly and said with a chuckle: "Yan Rong's methods were ruthless and they completely slaughtered the Wanyan, Yelu and other influential families.
If we can support a person with the surname Yelu in the future, then the subjugated people of the Jin Kingdom will probably take action after hearing the news."
"Hahaha, Leihan, you really understand my thoughts." Chenyue laughed and punched Xue Leihan in the chest: "Yan Rong destroyed the country too quickly, and it seems that they suppressed it with powerful means.
The rebels are here, but there are too many unstable factors inside."
Xue Leihan bared her teeth and said, "At any rate, we have learned from the second-grade deputy manager now. This experience is naturally different."
While talking about Xue Leihan, she raised her eyebrows, with a somewhat smug look on her face.
He is the only one in the Xue family who wears the title of second-grade official at this age. Even Xue Shenchen was not so dazzling back then.
Chenyue laughed and put his hands behind his back, looked back at the ward and said, "If this guy can survive, let's figure out how to make good use of the word Yelu."
"Let's go then, let's go to the meeting hall. Several generals are still waiting there." Xue Leihan smiled.
"Walk!"
The two walked towards the meeting hall arm in arm.
…
In addition to Xin Ji and the other three people, there was another woman's figure in Luoyun City's meeting hall.
Yao Qingfeng’s sister, Yao Qingzhu.
Yao Qingzhu's status in Yunzhou was similar to that of Yun Chen's deputy, but she did not have an actual official position because there was a precedent for setting up the official position of a female general in the laws of the Zhou Dynasty.
She was seen wearing a snow-white tunic robe, a pair of light armor on the front, the long sword that Yun Chen gave her hanging on the left side of her waist, a Northern Liangdao hanging on her right waist, and her calves were tied
Tie two inseparable daggers.
"Hey, Mrs. Yun, does this clanging bell need to carry so many weapons? I'm afraid the knives in this house full of ties are not as many as you alone can carry, right?" Chen Yue looked astonished.
Said: "Is it possible that Luoyun City is so dangerous?"
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.
Xue Leihan and others have long been accustomed to this scene, and they don't even bother to look at it.
Yao Qingzhu blushed and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you used to this?"
As her husband, Yun Chen looked helpless. In fact, he had tried to persuade her several times, but Yao Qingzhu had such a bad temper.
"Okay, okay, everyone, sit down." Chen Yue waved to everyone to sit down: "Today we are going to talk about the defense of Yunzhou. The movements of Yan Rong after destroying the Jin are unknown, but Yunzhou is in the third place in Liaodong.
On the front line, war will ignite sooner or later, so we have to make plans early.
General Yun, let’s first talk about the situation of the troops stationed throughout Yunzhou.”
Yun Chen first bowed his hands, and then said in an orderly manner: "The Yunzhou garrison originally had 5,000 cavalry and infantry, and the prince left another 5,000 when he left Liaodong. Recently, there are 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry for the Liao Army.
The soldiers rushed to Luoyun City. There were currently a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses.
Due to the topography of Yunzhou, most of the soldiers are stationed in Luoyun City. We have sent out more than a dozen scouts to the north, keeping an eye on the movements of the Yan soldiers along both sides of the Yishui River."
"Forty thousand, that's a lot of troops." Chen Yue tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
These 40,000 soldiers are all old soldiers, some of them are soldiers gathered by Yun Chen and Di Jiang after the battle in Guxian Town, and some are soldiers who followed the Beiliang army in the conquest of Liaodong.
"What we are most worried about right now is the issue of defense." Xin Ji pointed to the map sandbox in front of everyone and said:
"The terrain of Yanyun and Yunnan is vast, with dense valleys and ravines. There are many entrances to the pass, but there are no choke points that are strong enough to guard like Jianmen Pass."
"Although Luoyun City is located near the front, we don't have the troops to patrol the entire border all day long." Yao Qingzhu added at the side: "We can detect a large group of enemy troops entering the country immediately, but if hundreds of rangers come from
If it sneaks into the deep mountains and old forests, it will be really difficult for us to find it."
Chenyue's eyes fell on the map, and he had already predicted these situations.
And the most important thing is that Yanzhou area is mainly composed of new soldiers. If Yanrong infiltrates a group of elite veterans, it may really turn the Yanyun mainland upside down.
