Three hundred and seventy eighth chapter: bad news
Just when Wan He was muttering in his heart, a sergeant who was covered in dust got a special move from Yang Guang and walked quickly into the palace. As soon as he entered the door, the sergeant knelt down to Yang Guang without opening his mouth. . But he burst into tears first. When he saw this scene, Wan He's heart pounded again, and he secretly cried out that something was wrong.
Yang Guang felt the same way. He frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Okay, tell me what happened."
After being shouted at by Yang Guang, the sergeant slowly stopped crying. He knelt and straightened his body. He clasped his fists at Yang Guang and shouted: "Your Majesty. A month ago, Marshal Zhang was ordered to attack Wagang." The village thief Ni pursued the thief all the way to Dahai Temple. He was ambushed. In order to save the trapped soldiers, Marshal Zhang broke into the siege three times. In the end, he died of exhaustion."
The sergeant was also a member of the counter-rebellion army. After saying this, he couldn't bear it anymore. He just lay on the ground and cried loudly. Wan He was also shocked when he heard what the sergeant said. He didn't expect it. Zhang Xutuo was not only defeated, but also died on the battlefield. This battle report shocked Wan He and stood upright. He shouted loudly and asked: "How is it possible? Marshal Zhang is brave and invincible. He can also use soldiers as God, how could he be defeated, let alone die in battle? Besides, aren’t there many experts in the counter-rebellion army? What about Qin Qiong, what about Luo Shixin, and what about Pei Renji? Wouldn’t they protect Marshal Zhang?”
The sergeant knew Wan He and knew that he was familiar with Zhang Xutuo and other generals in the army. He immediately replied: "My lord, General Qin encountered rebels at Niuzhukou. In order to protect Marshal Zhang, he was seriously injured. Unable to participate in the battle. During the Battle of Dahai Temple, General Luo was hit by an enemy's hidden arrow in order to cover Marshal Zhang's breakout. As for General Pei, before departure, General Pei was sent by the Marshal to Xingze City to ask for reinforcements. He did not return. By the time General Pei arrived at Dahai Temple, everything was too late."
Wan He's face turned pale. He swayed and finally fell to the ground. In fact, before that, Wan He had never figured out how a famous general like Zhang Xutuo in the Sui Dynasty could become so powerful in just a few years. The situation was like falling apart and the building was about to collapse. But now, after Zhang Xutuo died, the only famous generals of the Sui Dynasty were left with veterans like Zhao Cai to protect their children. Does this mean that the troubled times have begun?
As for the aloof Yang Guang, his face turned purple at this moment and he said nothing. But from his body, Wan He could clearly feel a surge of anger building up. It's no wonder that Zhang Xutuo was the most valued by Yang Guang. General. In the past, no matter how rampant bandits were in the world, with Zhang Xutuo and his victorious anti-rebellion army, Yang Guang never felt that there was any problem. But now, Zhang Xutuo was defeated. And This defeat turned out to be a direct death. How could Yang Guang accept this fact?
Seeing that Yang Guang's expression was getting worse and worse, Zhang Huaian, who was waiting next to him, also showed a worried look. He couldn't help but step forward and said softly to Yang Guang: "Long live. The death of General Zhang is over." It’s a foregone conclusion. Long live my condolences.”
"I." Yang Guang's mouth just opened, and only one word popped out. Suddenly, a ball of blood spurted out from Yang Guang's mouth, and sprinkled directly into the air. Then, Yang Guang's head tilted, and his eyes As soon as he closed his eyes, he fainted on the dragon chair. Zhang Xutuo was a famous general trained by Yang Guang. Yang Guang attached great importance to this person. Now he is dead like this. Yang Guang was also extremely angry. He was directly killed. Dizzy.
The sudden change shocked everyone in the hall. The first person to react was naturally Zhang Huaian. Zhang Huaian immediately supported Yang Guang and exclaimed loudly: "Long live, long live, someone is coming, come. People, go and call the imperial doctor quickly. Go and call the imperial doctor Chao. Hurry."
Zhang Huaian took the lead. Everyone in the hall also reacted. A few servants stumbled out and went to the imperial hospital to ask for the imperial doctor. The palace guards immediately surrounded the entire hall. The rest were The chamberlains and maids also gathered around, hurriedly stroking Yang Guang's chest, beating his back, and pinching him. However, Yang Guang was so angry that he couldn't wake up. Wan He who was next to him saw him. He was also anxious. But he He didn’t know medical skills. Even if he was anxious, he could only stand aside and worry. From the corner of his eye, he happened to see the sergeant still kneeling there. Wan He immediately took a step forward and started asking the counter-rebel troops. Where are the remaining people going?
The sergeant also knew Wan He's identity and answered Wan He's questions one by one. It turned out that Qin Qiong had been sent to Luoyang after being injured. However, he could not rush because of his serious injury, so he did not arrive as quickly as the sergeant who reported the news. As for Qin Qiong's injury, he could not go on the way. After the defeat at Dahai Temple, the military advisor Jia Wuben led the army to join Pei Renji and retreated directly to Sishui Pass. However, Jia Wuben also died of his injuries. He died on the night of retreating to Sishui Pass. Now we are suppressing the rebellion. There were less than five thousand remnants of the army left, all of them under the command of Pei Renji.
After learning the details, Wan He also began to think about it. Although there are less than 5,000 people left in the counter-insurgency army, it is still a force that cannot be underestimated. Fortunately, the counter-insurgency army is now under the command of Pei Renji. The friendship between Pei Renji and himself is not shallow, so these 5,000 people may still be useful. However, the most important thing now is how to keep these 5,000 people under Pei Renji's command instead of being dispatched by Yang Guang. commander in chief.
At this time, the imperial doctor also arrived in a hurry. The emperor fainted. That was not a trivial matter. All the imperial doctors from the entire imperial hospital were dispatched. The leader was Chao Yuanfang, the head of the imperial hospital. Chao Yuanfang and Wan He also It can be said that we have met several times. On that day Wan He was assassinated, Chao Yuanfang was the one who rescued Wan He. Seeing that Wan He was there, Chao Yuanfang also nodded towards Wan He and said hello. Then he said He quickly walked towards Yang Guang. Seeing that Yang Guang was surrounded by servants and maids on three levels inside and three outside. Chao Yuanfang frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Nonsense. Your Majesty has fainted. You are still surrounding me." There are so many people here, making it impossible for air to circulate around His Majesty. If you want to kill Your Majesty, you will fail."
If it were another imperial doctor, he would naturally not dare to say such a thing. However, Chao Yuanfang's status is different from other imperial doctors. Not only does his status in the imperial hospital have a transcendent status, but also in the entire palace, Chao Yuanfang's status is unparalleled. They were superior. When the chamberlains and maids heard Chao Yuanfang's shouts, they were frightened and retreated far away. Only Zhang Huaian supported Yang Guang. Seeing this, Chao Yuanfang calmed down a little. Nodding, he stepped forward with the medicine box in hand. He grabbed Yang Guang's wrist and began to feel his pulse. For a moment, the entire hall was silent. No one even dared to breathe louder for fear of disturbing Chao Yuanfang.
After a while, Chao Yuanfang slowly lowered Yang Guang's wrist. The expression on his face also softened a little. He said to Zhang Huaian in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's body is not seriously injured. He just vomited that out of anger. A mouthful of blood. Later I will prescribe a prescription for your majesty to soothe your nerves. Give it to your majesty and let your majesty have a good sleep. Then everything will be fine."
Chao Yuanfang is known as the best doctor in the world. When he said these words, everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Then Zhang Huaian glanced at Yang Guang, who was still unconscious, and said, "Master Chao. His Majesty is still unconscious..."
"Yeah." Chao Yuanfang also understood what Zhang Huaian meant and nodded. Suddenly a hand quickly tapped Yang Guang's chest three times. Then he turned his hand into a palm and pressed it on Yang Guang's left chest. Suddenly .I saw a purple cloud emerging from the top of Chao Yuanfang's palm and floating towards Yang Guang. After a moment, Chao Yuanfang closed his palm and exhaled a long breath. He said in a deep voice. : "It won't take more than a stick of incense. His Majesty will wake up. But we still need to let His Majesty get more rest."
Yang Guang's face obviously looked much better at this moment. Zhang Huaian couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately bowed and saluted to Chao Yuanfang and said, "Master Chao is really good at it. Come on, follow Master Chao to get the medicine."
"Yeah." Chao Yuanfang didn't react at all to Zhang Huaian's praise. He just nodded lightly and left directly with the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital. From the beginning to the end, these imperial doctors never had any symptoms. The role is to follow Chao Yuanfang like a group of apprentices. It's not that their level is insufficient. Who can join the Royal Hospital? Which one is not a famous miracle doctor? It's just that Chao Yuanfang takes action. Those of them The means are really not good enough.
Seeing Chao Yuanfang's treatment of Yang Guang, Wan He couldn't help but look surprised. This was clearly Li Jing's Zixia Kung. At this time, Wan He suddenly remembered that it was the first time he saw Chao Yuan. When Fang was standing there, he heard Li Jing calling Chao Yuanfang his uncle. Could it be that this Chao Yuanfang was also a martial arts master? Well, it looked like he would go back and ask Li Jing about it later.
Not long after, Yang Guang woke up. He opened his eyes and glanced around weakly. When he saw the sergeant who was still kneeling there, Yang Guang remembered what happened before he fainted. He frowned and felt distressed again. He saw that the people around him were also heartbeating. Fortunately, Yang Guang did not faint again this time. He nodded lightly and sat upright with the help of Zhang Huaian. Then, Yang Guang pointed at Wan He again and said softly: "Wan He, you are the prince of the dynasty, and you are in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. I will leave this matter to you for now."
"I obey the order." Wan He immediately knelt down and accepted the order. He knew very well that this time Yang Guang was no longer a temptation, but a weak-willed person. He happened to trust Wan He, so he left this matter to Wan He. It was dealt with. Of course, Wan He also knew that this did not mean that he could do whatever he wanted. After Wan He came to a result in this matter, he would definitely leave it to Yang Guang to make a decision. However, Wan He couldn't help but have a smile on his face. At least on this matter, Wanhe has already taken the lead.
