Chapter 976: Going out of the city to meet the hero
Shi Jianneng's arrival made everyone in the ancestral family overjoyed, and they all looked up to Wu Sangui even more. Old servants like Uncle Zhong regarded Wu Sangui as a benefactor.
In Jinzhou City, in a secluded courtyard of the ancestral home, tension has filled the air. Although there are dozens of people in the entire courtyard, there is no movement at all.
Everyone held their breath and stared at a private room to the east, as if waiting for the judgment of the God of Fate!
Through the midday sun, you can see that there seem to be several figures in the elegant room, and there are waves of steam rising, and you can feel the heat through the window lattice.
Wu Sangui was in the most nervous mood, although he still trusted Zhang Cheng and could rest assured about the military masters sent to him by Zhang Cheng.
But at this moment, in the elegant room, except for the sage doctor in the Xuanfu army and his apprentice, there is no one from Liao Town inside. If there is a slight mistake, it will be difficult for him to get rid of it.
In addition, he was also very conflicted in his heart. He hoped that the miraculous doctor in the army could cure Zu Dashou's arrow sore, but secretly he also had a secret hope that Zu Dashou would die.
Although he knew in his heart that it was wrong for him to have such thoughts, he tried his best to get rid of the slightly evil thoughts in his mind.
But no matter what, the thought of hoping that Zu Dashou would die was still lingering in his heart. Wu Sangui stood there sweating profusely. It can be seen that the two completely different expectations were like torture to him.
With a "squeak" sound, the door of the elegant room was suddenly pushed open.
Everyone in the courtyard looked here instantly, and saw a middle-aged man with three strands of beard floating on his chin, wearing a neat gray and white tight-fitting robe, walking out of the room.
Outside Songshan City, there was already a sea of people. In addition to the two squads of soldiers from Hong Chengchou's Supervisor Biao Battalion, there were many family members of the city crowded on both sides of the road.
At this moment, Zhang Mingyuan, the adjutant of the Chinese Army, rushed over. He stopped under the mound and muttered with Zhang Chengfang for a while, and then the two of them walked up one after another.
However, his body is weak and weak, and he can no longer mount his horse to fight, and he is unable to kill slaves. Once the wind and cold invade his body, causing his body to contract serious diseases, it will cause the recurrence of old poisons.
"Yes, Commander, please be at ease. Even if I don't sleep, I will stay by General Lin's side and take good care of him." Shi Jianneng replied.
According to historical records, when someone came to ask for instructions on various matters, Fang Zhenghua only said: "We are in chaos, please help me."
On the other side, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, also quietly explained to Wu Sangui the reason why he came out of the city to welcome him. Wu Sangui's face was constantly changing colors of green, red and white.
After saying this, he led Zhang Chengfang and Zhang Mingyuan away in a hurry. Shi Jianneng could only vaguely hear Zhang Cheng instructing Zhang Chengfang to pass an order to Li Changsheng, asking him to lead the left cavalry of the Tiger Guard Battalion to escort them.
He looked at Wu Sangui and said, "Let's arrange for Doctor Shi to rest first. I'll just stay here and watch over you."
Wu Sangui nodded, then looked at brothers Zu Dabi and Zu Dacheng who were standing aside. Seeing that they also nodded slightly to him, he turned to Shi Jianneng and said, "Miracle doctor Shi, may I ask if my uncle can remove the remaining poison from arrow sores?"
Already?"
And in February of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, when the bandits were approaching the capital, he was ordered to leave the town again. At that time, he suddenly resigned as prime minister, but Emperor Chongzhen refused.
The bandit killed him with a knife, and all the eunuchs who followed him fought hard and died.
Zhang Cheng nodded and said to him: "By the way, tell Lin Fangping that I am going to the Governor's Hall to discuss matters. If I come back early, I will visit him. If I come back late, I will ask him not to wait for us."
"Not yet."
Zhang Cheng then said: "It's good that you come back. This medical bureau really can't live without you. Please hurry up and select some smart people to lead for me. The war will not stop in the past few years. The wounded soldiers in the army can all count on you."
You."
However, if the poison penetrates into the bone marrow, it is extremely difficult to eradicate it even with the help of medicine and stone. If Zu Shuai has a strong body and a strong life, it is not impossible to live for another ten or eight years.
However, at this moment, Wu Sangui could not pose any threat to Zhang Cheng, and since the aid to Liao Dynasty, Zhang Cheng's performance was not only remarkable, but also a god-like existence.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said: "When I came here, my general once said that I must do my best to cure Commander Zu's arrow sore. I should do my best to do it. I also asked Commander Wu to come with me."
Don’t worry, two ancestral generals.”
He climbed up to the Pipi to defend the city until the city fell. He still fought hard and killed dozens of thieves. Later, he was surrounded by bandits. The bandits shouted and asked, "Who are you?"
Shi Jianneng sighed softly and then continued: "Commander Zu was hit by an arrow for a long time, and the wound has already eroded. The residual poison of the arrow has been invading the body for a long time. It cannot be eradicated in one go."
In fact, neither Zhang Ruoqi nor Zhang Cheng knew at this moment that the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi Fang Zhenghua was still loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Mingyuan then replied: "I left immediately after sending the message. I didn't stay and went straight to Jinzhou."
"Commander Father, Governor Hong has summoned us to go to the camp at noon today to discuss matters." Zhang Mingyuan reported loudly.
On October 29th, the cold wind was howling and the sky was gloomy.
Zhang Cheng stood on the mound, looking at the Chinese army camp in front of him, but thinking in his heart: "How can we force the Tatars to retreat, end the war in Jinzhou as soon as possible, so that they can return to the Xuanfu to rectify the military and political affairs, and expand
own strength."
Shi Jianneng replied without thinking: "There is no way. Zu Shuai's arrow sore has been delayed for a long time, and now the poison has invaded the skin. You can also take it internally or apply it externally, and slowly remove it. Although it takes time and energy, it is not impossible.
…………
…………
Although the Xiaoling River has not been completely frozen, the ice on both sides of the river has reached a fist-thickness and can withstand children walking on it without any problems.
Zhang Ruoqi was afraid that Zhang Cheng would offend those close to the emperor because of his ignorance, so he whispered in his ear to introduce this Eunuch Fang.
Shi Jianneng looked at Wu Sangui and the two brothers from the Zu family, and said: "My commander-in-chief ordered me to live in Jinzhou City for the time being and concentrate on treating the arrow wounds for Commander-in-Chief."
However, in Zhang Cheng's memory and innate impression, he did not seem to have heard about the deeds of this Eunuch Founder. In his opinion, even if this man was not as loyal to the Ming Dynasty as Wang Chengen, he probably would not
Such as Xiancheng and the eunuchs Du Xun and Du Zhizhi were shameless.
Naturally, Wu Sangui could no longer fight to keep his guardian ancestor Dashou, so he had to lead Shi Jianneng to the place where he was staying, a monastery next to this small courtyard.
Zu Dabi also came forward at this time and said: "In this case, there is Doctor Laoshi."
From time to time, he glanced at Zhang Cheng on the other side with the corner of his eye. His eyes revealed a very complicated and strange expression, which contained both admiration and powerful hatred.
"General Zu, it's hard to say right now. We have to look at the results of the next debridement before we can make an estimate."
He quietly ordered Zhang Chengfang, the lieutenant general who was following closely behind him, to prepare a gift in advance and not to make Eunuch Fang wear out his saddle and horse and go to Liaodong in vain.
However, these original historical records had not yet occurred in this chaotic time and space, so no one knew about it. Although Zhang Cheng was an unprecedented latecomer, he knew nothing about it.
Known.
After listening to Shi Jianneng's words, Zhang Cheng felt a burst of sadness in his heart. Thinking that the heroic figure of Zu Dashou's generation ended up like this in the end, he couldn't help but feel unbearable in his heart.
"It seems that the beating was too light. It is necessary to hit him again to hurt him." Zhang Cheng couldn't help but murmur to himself.
Wu Sangui strode forward and asked eagerly: "But is it cured well?"
Zhang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and asked softly: "Which Eunuch Fang?"
Only then did Zhang Cheng wake up from his deep thoughts. He looked at Zhang Mingyuan and asked, "Who is here to convey the message? Do you know him?"
Historically, in the winter of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, when the Tartars invaded Jifu for the fifth time in Ming Dynasty, Fang Zhenghua was appointed to supervise the local military affairs in Baoding, and he was instrumental in preserving the city.
Although Emperor Chongzhen felt helpless, he still sent him to Zhending Mansion to supervise the army with tears in his eyes. After Fang Zhenghua arrived, he climbed to the Pipi with his fellow magistrate Shao Zongyuan and others to guard the city together.
Shi Jianneng's expression was as usual. He pulled Wu Sangui's sleeves and walked a few steps to the side, a little further away from the elegant room. Then he said softly: "Commander Zu has to rest for a while. Just leave someone to guard him outside for the time being. Don't
Please come in and disturb me."
...With great effort, we can only remove the remaining poison outside the bones, and the rest depends on Zu Shuai's personal fortune."
"Okay. Just take a look at him first, then go and rest. Also, his painkiller prescription is gone, so you can brew some more."
At this time, Zhang Ruoqi got the opportunity to approach Zhang Cheng and whispered in a low voice: "Eunuch Fang brought an oral instruction from the emperor, asking the civil and military forces of Liaodong to go out of the city to meet the general."
The expression on Hong Chengchou's face was no longer as serious as before, but there was a hint of smile. He said to the two of them warmly: "Zhongchen, eldest uncle, you two are the pillars of the country, there is no need to be polite."
…………
Zhang Cheng and Wu Sangui were stunned when they saw this formation. They hurriedly got off their horses and walked forward for more than a hundred steps. They came to the Governor Hong Chengchou and paid homage together: "At last, I will see Governor Hong and see Qiu Fu."
Taiwan, Director Zhang.”
Then, Fang Zhenghua paused and said: "There is nothing I can do in this trip, but I can die to repay the Lord for his kindness."
…………
There are still five miles away from the "Jianwu Gate" in the south of Songshan, and there are officials below Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, such as the governor Qiu Minyang, the chief military officer Zhang Ruoqi, the military counselor Ma Shaoyu, the military affairs counselor Zhang Dou, the procuratorate Yao Gong, and the supervisor Wang Zhizhen.
, General Judge Yuan Guodong, Liang Dao Zhu Tingxie, Supervisor Zheng Ganmin and other officials are all here.
As Hong Chengchou said this, he turned around and went to Jianwumen first. The officials on the avenue dispersed on both sides, leaving the middle road open for them.
Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look confused. His life span was only a few decades, and he was like Zu Dashou, living between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, he was able to handle it with his own strength, and neither side dared to do anything to him.
Before Wu Sangui said anything else, Zu Dacheng on the side intervened and asked: "May I ask, doctor, how long can my eldest brother stay?"
"Miracle Doctor Shi, how is my uncle's arrow sore?"
Fang Zhenghua, a Shandong surname, entered the palace during the Tianqi period and has been accompanying Emperor Chongzhen ever since. He has always been cautious and cautious, not a domineering person. He is also good at handwriting. In recent years, he was elected as the Supervisor of Rites and Ren Bingbi.
eunuch.
Fang Zhenghua shouted sternly: "My director, Mr. Fang!"
Zhang Cheng nodded. At this time, he saw Chief Medical Officer Shi Jianneng still waiting under the mound. He seemed to remember something and hurriedly walked down to him and said: "Medical Officer Shi, go and see Lin first."
Fang Ping, his body has been feeling hot these days. I used physical cooling methods to lower his body temperature yesterday.
As he spoke, he walked forward, pulled them up one by one with one hand, and continued to speak warmly: "The emperor's decree has arrived at Songshan, and I have also been ordered to go out of the city to meet you two. Now follow me into the city to pick you up."
Just do it."
He thought for a moment and then asked: "Is there no other way?"
Shi Jianneng was shocked when he heard this. He naturally knew that Zhang Cheng would not lie to him, but when his general said this, he felt that the burden seemed to be extremely heavy. He couldn't help but said: "I will definitely do my best.
I will never let down the commander-in-chief’s trust.”
According to historical records, among the martyrs of the internal ministers at that time were Gao Shiming, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony, Li Fengxiang, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony, Chu Xianzhang, the eunuch who was in charge of various supervisory bureaus, and Zhang Guoyuan.
The wound has been wiped with strong alcohol, and it seems to be in good condition, with some scabs already forming, but I don't know if the sutures in the small intestine have healed, please give him a good look."
"Hui Fushuai is a Mr. Qian named Liu. I met him a few times in the palace."
Even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated then, it will be difficult to save him!"
After this group of civilian officials, there are many armored generals, including Chen Jiugao, the former commander of the Shenji Camp, Wang Pu, the Datong commander, Li Fuming, the Shanxi commander, Cao Bianjiao, the ASEAN commander, and Wang Tingchen, the former garrison commander.
, Miyun Commander-in-Chief Tang Tong and other generals were prominently present.
"Eunuch Fang Zhenghua, who is the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is also a close relative of the Emperor. We dare not offend him."
At this moment, Zhang Cheng listened to Zhang Ruoqi's introduction and had a good impression of this Eunuch Fang.
In the Chinese army camp in Xuanfu Town, Zhang Cheng was listening to the report from the army's chief medical officer Shi Jianneng: "...Although he had been debrided seven times, Commander Zu's poison had invaded the bone marrow and penetrated deep into the skin.
But so what?
Now that a small arrow has threatened his life, he might be dead in a few days!
Life is short, just like a fleeting moment. It seems that I have been in this world for three years. Although I am now the commander-in-chief of a town, I still cannot fully control the town's soldiers, horses, money, food and other resources, so how can I show my ambitions?
?
He stopped talking and walked out of the military tent with his hands behind his back. First he let out a big breath and walked towards a mound to the east. Zhang Chengfang followed him closely a few steps away. Even Shi Jianneng did not dare to leave.
, also followed behind Zhang Chengfang.
Not only did he win consecutive battles against the slave thieves, but it could also be said to be a massacre in all directions. Several of the slave thieves, Gu Shanerzhen, were killed by the Xuanfu army in the battle. Even Prince Duduo of Yu was beheaded in front of the battle by the Xuanfu army.
,What else does Wu Sangui have to say?
Moreover, the Xuanfu army even risked a sneak attack on the slave chieftain Huang Taiji. Although it failed, it became an unforgettable legend among the armies aiding the Liao Dynasty.
For example, under the city of Jinzhou, Wu Sangui faced more slave thieves than Wu Sangui faced in person. It was the Xuanfu army who secretly deployed a surprise force, and cooperated with Zu Dashou to force back the besieging slave thieves, and finally solved the siege of Jinzhou.
Although Wu Sangui was unwilling to accept this, he was still convinced in his heart!
