Lin Xuan tried his best to suppress this impulse, got up to wash up, had breakfast, and after touring the military camp, went to the wounded barracks to visit the wounded soldiers.
"General, the method of cleaning wounds with strong alcohol is indeed effective. So far, only a few dozen people have developed fever, and the rest are very normal." Chen Chuan said with excitement.
"Can those with fever be saved?" Lin Xuan asked with a heavy expression.
Fever also means infection, which can cost dozens of lives. Although Lin Xuan has seen the tragic scenes of the battle between Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks, he cannot ignore life.
Chen Chuan said sadly: "Go back to the general, and dig out some of the flesh from the wound. Maybe it can be saved, but it will be difficult to hold on."
Lin Xuan remained silent. Not everyone is Guan Yu, who can scrape bones to heal his wounds and still talk and laugh happily.
After a long time, Lin Xuan said: "Do your best and come to me directly if you need anything."
After a pause, Lin Xuan said in a dry voice: "If it doesn't work, just give them a break."
"Yes." Chen Chuan responded.
When leaving the wounded barracks, Lin Xuan felt very heavy. He knew that some people would be infected later.
It's okay for small wounds. If you dig out the flesh from the infected area, there is still a certain chance of saving it. For those wounds that are large or deep, the chance of saving them is not great.
Not long after returning to the camp, Liu Da came to report, and Xue Yantuo sent over the promised five thousand horses.
And invited Lin Xuan to go to the king's tent for a banquet.
"Ask Xue Rengui to receive the war horses. Look carefully and don't let them fool you. As for going to the banquet, please refuse for me and just say I'm not feeling well." Lin Xuan said.
Yi Nan just suffered a defeat yesterday. At this time, he didn't want to stabilize people's hearts, but he wanted to entertain him. He definitely didn't have any good intentions.
Lin Xuan was in a bad mood and was too lazy to pretend to be a snake with him.
"Yes." Liu Da responded and stepped out.
…
The leaders of various tribes in the Western Turks followed Nishu's orders and came to the camp where Nishu was stationed.
However, Tong'eshe, whose camp was not far from Nishu Camp, did not come.
"Great Khan, all the leaders of the tribes have arrived, but King Zuoxian did not come. Instead, he sent someone to say that he was sick," Qilaobaat'er said.
A sneer appeared on Nishu's pale face, and he said: "He is afraid that I will do something to him."
When he learned that Nishu had summoned him, how could Tong'eshe dare to come?
What if Nishu knew that he was about to die and wanted to kill him to pave the way for Yuan Qi? Wouldn't it be a trap for him to come?
"King Zuo Xian doesn't believe in the Great Khan. Is the Great Khan considering the matter of the Khan's position?" Qilaobaat'er took the opportunity to say.
If Nishu also supports Yuan Qi's succession, then Yuan Qi's chances of succeeding will be much greater.
Nishu shook his head and said: "I have already made a decision on this matter. There is no need to talk about it anymore. Let someone carry me over."
Nomads are different from the Central Plains dynasty. If the emperor dies in the Central Plains dynasty, many people will support him to ascend the throne, even if the prince is only a few years old.
In addition to the fact that the Han people were deeply influenced by Confucianism, more importantly, the younger the emperor, the better for those ministers. If the emperor is too small to take care of things, their power will naturally be greater.
But the nomads are different. Their harsh living environment means they need a strong and capable khan to lead them.
Coupled with the survival law of the nomads, the survival of the fittest led to the fact that even if he forced Yuan Qi to succeed him, Yuan Qi would not be able to secure his position as the Great Khan.
Qi Laobaat'er was a little disappointed. He thought that Tong'e's failure would dissuade Nishu from passing the position to Tong'eshe. Unexpectedly, Nishu still wanted to pass the position to Tong'eshe.
However, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he quickly called people in and carried Ni Shu to the outer tent.
Nishu's original seat had been vacated, and several guards carried the bed and placed it in its original seat position.
"Let them come in." Nishu refused Qilaobat'er's help, straightened up his appearance, and then said.
Qilaobaat'er responded and went outside to call in the leaders of each department.
"I've seen Dahan."
The leaders of each tribe saluted and looked at Nishu.
Yesterday they heard about Nishu's coma, and now they saw Nishu lying on the couch with a pale face, and they had different thoughts for a while.
Nishu said with some self-deprecation: "Everyone, you should have heard about Ben Khan's situation. Yes, Ben Khan may go to serve the Immortal Heaven soon."
The nomadic people regard "Cangtian" as the eternal and supreme god, so they call it "the Sky of Immortality".
"Genghis Khan" means "a person who sweats relying on the power of the immortal god".
Many people may think that only Mongolians believe in the Immortal Heaven. In fact, nomadic people have long begun to believe in the Immortal Heaven. It is not unique to the Mongolian people.
In fact, the so-called Mongolian people were formed by the fusion of various tribes on the grasslands conquered by Genghis Khan, and are actually fundamentally different from the Mongolian people of later generations.
"The Great Khan was sent by Changshengtian to lead the Western Turks. He has not yet led the Western Turks to unify the grasslands. How can he serve Changshengtian?"
"Yes, when the Great Khan recovers, he will definitely be able to lead us to unify the grassland."
The leaders of each department said quickly.
Nishu naturally knew that his Khan position was not conferred by the Immortal God at all.
This is just like the Central Plains dynasty claiming to be the emperor. How could those emperors not know that they were not the so-called emperor at all, but just mortals like ordinary people?
Not only did they know it, but the princes and ministers also knew it.
But in order for ordinary people to remain in awe of the imperial power, they needed such a mythical identity.
"Okay, this time I called you here not to talk about this, but to discuss the withdrawal of troops." Nishu said.
Although the tribal leaders were a little surprised by the retreat, they quickly calmed down.
They have no intention of fighting Nishu now.
Otherwise, if the territory is conquered, the soil is gone, and the new khan succeeds, if we don't allocate those territories to them, wouldn't it be in vain?
Erdeni said anxiously: "Great Khan, if we retreat, what will happen to the territory we conquered before?"
Others don't care, but he can't.
Erdeni's tribe was close to the Western Turks. When he led some small tribes to destroy the Qinge tribe, Nishu directly divided the territory of the Qinge tribe to him. The other tribes naturally withdrew and returned to their own tribes.
Go, but his tribe is close to Xue Yantuo. If Xue Yantuo retaliates, what can he do to resist?
Nishu said: "After retreating, all the territory previously occupied will be given away. Don't worry, Xue Yantuo has lost so much strength that he will not dare to launch troops against the Western Turks for the time being."
Erdeni showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
It won’t come for the time being, but what about in the future?
But he was just the leader of a medium-sized tribe. He was quiet and did not dare to say anything.
Nishu said: "Since there are no objections, let's go back and prepare."
"Yes." The leaders of each department responded.
After the leaders of each department returned to the camp, they immediately ordered their things to be packed. It didn't take long for each camp to become busy.
Yi Nan sent many spies to the Western Turks camp. Naturally, such a big move by the Western Turks could not be hidden from these spies. The spies did not dare to delay and quickly sent people back to report.
