Chapter 976

Shi Jianneng's arrival made everyone in the ancestor's family overjoyed, and because of this, they also looked up to Wu Sangui even more. Old servants like Zhong Bo even regarded Wu Sangui as a benefactor.

In Jinzhou City, in a secluded courtyard of the ancestral house, the tense atmosphere has already permeated the air. Although there are dozens of people in the small courtyard, there is no movement at all.

All the people held their breath and stared intently at an elegant room to the east, as if waiting for the judgment of the god of fate!
Through the noon sun, one could see that there seemed to be several figures in that elegant room, and there was a stream of heat steaming up, which could be felt through the window lattice.

Wu Sangui was the most nervous. Although he could trust Zhang Cheng, he could rest assured about the master Zhang Cheng sent him in the army.

But at this moment, in the elegant room, except for the holy doctor and his apprentice in the Xuanfu army, there is no one from Liaozhen inside, if there is a slight mistake, it is difficult for him to wash it off.

In addition, he was also very contradictory in his heart. He hoped that the military sage would cure Zu Dashou's arrow sores, but secretly hoped that Zu Dashou would die.

Although he knew in his heart that it was wrong for him to have such thoughts, so he tried his best to get rid of the slightly evil thoughts in his mind.

But no matter what, the idea of ​​wishing Zu Dashou to die still lingers in his heart. Standing there, Wu Sangui is sweating profusely. It can be seen that the two completely different expectations are tormenting him.
With a "squeak", the door of the elegant room was suddenly pushed open.

All the people in the courtyard looked here in an instant, and saw a middle-aged man with three beards fluttering from his chin, wearing a neat off-white tight robe, coming out of the room.

"Miraculous doctor Shi, how is my uncle's arrow sore?"

Wu Sangui rushed forward with strides, eagerly asking repeatedly: "But is it cured well?"

Shi Jianneng looked as usual, he pulled Wu Sangui's sleeve, walked a few steps to the side, and said softly when he was a little further away from the elegant room: "Marshal Zu has to rest for a while, just leave someone to watch outside for a while, Mo Come in and disturb."

Wu Sangui nodded, then looked at the two brothers Zu Dabi and Zu Dacheng who were at the side, saw that they also nodded slightly to him, then turned to Shi Jianneng and said: "Mr. gone?"

"Not yet."

Shi Jianneng sighed lightly, and then continued: "Zu Shuai has been hit by an arrow for a long time, the wound has eroded, and the arrow's residual poison has been infiltrating the body for a long time, and it cannot be eradicated once."

He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "When the official came, my general once said that he must do his best to heal Zu Shuai's arrow sore. Rest assured, the two ancestor generals."

Before Wu Sangui said anything more, Zu Dacheng beside him interrupted and asked: "Dare to ask the doctor, how long will my elder brother stay?"

"General Zu, it's hard to say right now, we have to look at the results after the next debridement, so we can make an estimate."

Shi Jianneng looked at Wu Sangui and the two brothers from the Zu family, and said: "My commander-in-chief ordered me to stay in Jinzhou city for the time being and concentrate on treating the arrow sores of Zu commander."

Zu Dabi also came forward at this time, he said: "So, there is Dr. Rao Shi."

He looked at Wu Sangui and said: "Let's arrange for Doctor Shi to rest first, and I will stay and watch over here."

Naturally, Wu Sangui didn't want to scramble to stay and protect Zu Dashou, so he had to lead Shi Jianneng to the place where he was staying, which was in the abode next to this small courtyard.

…………

On October 29, the wind was howling and the sky was gloomy.

Although the Xiaoling River has not been completely frozen, the ice on both sides of the river has reached a fist-thick thickness, which can withstand children walking on it without hindrance.

In the camp of the Chinese army in Xuanfu Town, Zhang Cheng was listening to the report of Shi Jianneng, the chief medical officer of the army: "...Although the wound has been debrided seven times, the poison of Zu Shuai has invaded the bone marrow and penetrated deep into the skin.

…With great effort, they can only remove the remaining poison outside the bones, and the rest depends on Zu Shuai's personal fortune. "

After listening to Shi Jianneng's words, Zhang Cheng sighed in his heart. Thinking of the heroes of Zu Dashou's generation, but they ended up like this in the end, he couldn't bear it in his heart.

He thought for a moment before asking: "Is there no other way?"

Shi Jianneng replied without hesitation: "There is no way, Zu Shuai's arrow sores have been lingering for a long time, and now the poison has invaded the skin, and it can be taken internally and applied externally to slowly pull it out. Although it takes time and energy, it is not impossible.

However, the poison has penetrated into the bone marrow, even with the attack of medicine and stones, it is very difficult to eradicate it. If Zu Shuai is strong in body and life, it is not impossible to live for another ten or eight years.

But he is weak and weak, he can no longer mount a horse to fight, and he is unable to kill slaves. Once the wind and cold invade and cause a serious disease, the old poison will relapse.

At that time, even if Hua Tuo was reborn, it would be difficult to cure him! "

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look bewildered. His life was only a few decades, and he lived between the Ming and Qing Dynasties like Zu Dashou, but with his own strength, neither side dared to do anything to him.

But so what?
Isn't he being threatened with his life by a small arrow now, maybe he will die in a few days!
Life is short, like a white horse passing by. 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 can't fully control the resources such as soldiers, horses, money and food in the town. How can I show my ambitions? ?
He stopped talking, walked out of the military tent with his hands behind his back, let out a big breath, and walked towards a mound in the east, Zhang Chengfang followed closely behind him a few steps away, even Shi Jianneng dared not leave , also followed behind Zhang Chengfang.

Standing on the mound, Zhang Cheng looked at the camp of the Chinese army in front of him, but he thought in his heart: "How can we force the Tartars back and end the battle in Jinzhou as soon as possible, so that we can return to the Xuanfu to clean up the military administration and expand own strength."

"It seems that the beating is still light. It is necessary to hurt him a little more." Zhang Cheng couldn't help but speak to himself.

At this moment, Zhang Mingyuan, the adjutant of the Chinese army, rushed over. He stopped under the mound and whispered to Zhang Chengfang for a while, and then the two walked up one after the other.

"Father, Commander Hong summoned me to go to Xingyuan to discuss matters at noon today." Zhang Mingyuan reported loudly.

Only then did Zhang Cheng wake up from his contemplation. He looked at Zhang Mingyuan and asked, "Who came to summon the messenger, but do you know him?"

"Father Hui, Mr. Qian, surnamed Liu, met him a few times in Xingyuan."

Zhang Mingyuan then replied: "After delivering the message, he left immediately. He didn't stay behind and went straight to Jinzhou."

Zhang Cheng nodded. At this time, he saw Chief Medical Officer Shi Jianneng was still waiting under the mound. He seemed to remember something, hurried down, came to him and said, "Medical Officer Shi, go and see Lin Lin first." Fang Ping, his body has been hot for the past few days. The commander used physical cooling methods to lower his body temperature yesterday.

The wound has also been wiped with spirits, and it seems to be in good condition, with a little scab, but I don't know if the suture of the small intestine in the inner part has healed, you can give him a good look. "

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, please be at ease. Even if I don't sleep, I must stay by General Lin's side and take good care of him." Shi Jianneng replied.

"Okay. Just take a look at him first, then go to rest, and his painkiller prescription is gone, so you can make some more."

Zhang Cheng went on to say: "It's good if you come back. The medical bureau really can't do without you. Hurry up and pick some smart people and bring them to the commander. The war will not stop in the past few years. The wounded soldiers in the army can count on them all." you."

Shi Jianneng was shocked when he heard the words, he naturally knew that Zhang Cheng would not lie to him, but after hearing what his general and master said, he also felt that the burden seemed to be extremely heavy, so he couldn't help but said: "I will definitely do my best. Never disappoint the commander in chief."

Zhang Cheng nodded, and said to him: "By the way, tell Lin Fangping that the commander-in-chief is going to discuss matters with the governor. If he comes back early, he will visit him. If he is late, tell him not to wait for us."

After he finished speaking, he led Zhang Chengfang and Zhang Mingyuan away in a hurry. Shi Jianneng could only vaguely hear Zhang Cheng ordering Zhang Chengfang to pass an order to Li Changsheng, telling him to lead the left cavalry of the Tiger Guard Battalion to accompany him as guards.

…………

Outside Songshan City, there was already a sea of ​​people, except for the soldiers of Hong Chengchou's Supervision Battalion who lined up in formation, there were also many family members of the city crowding on both sides of the road.

Five miles away from the "Jianwu Gate" in the south of Songshan Mountain, you can see the governor of Jiliao Hong Chengchou and the following officials, such as governor Qiu Minyang, director general Zhang Ruoqi, military counselor Ma Shaoyu, military affairs officer Zhang Dou, procuratorate Yao Gong, supervisor Wang Zhizhen , Tongjuan Yuan Guodong, Liangdao Zhu Tingxie, Jianji Tongzhi Zheng Ganmin and other officials are all here.

And after this group of civilian officials, there are many armored generals, such as Chen Jiugao, the former commander of the Shenji Battalion, Wang Pu, the commander of Datong, Li Fuming, the commander of Shanxi, Cao Bianjiao, the commander of the East Association, and Wang Tingchen, the commander of the former Tunwei. , Miyun General Soldier Tang Tong and other generals are impressively listed.

When Zhang Cheng and Wu Sangui saw this battle, they couldn't help being taken aback. They hurriedly got off their horses, walked forward for more than a hundred steps, and came to the governor Hong Chengchou. Taiwan, Director Zhang."

Hong Chengchou's expression was no longer as serious as before, but there was a hint of a smile on his face, he said to the two of them gently: "Zhongchen, Uncle, both of you are the pillars of the country, so there is no need to be polite."

As he said that, he walked forward, pulled them up one by one, and continued to say softly: "The emperor's imperial decree has arrived at Songshan, and the governor is also ordered to go out of the city to welcome you two, so follow me into the city to meet you." Let's do it."

After Hong Chengchou said that, he turned around and went to Jianwumen first, all the officials and generals on the avenue scattered on both sides, and gave way to the middle of the avenue for them.

At this moment, Zhang Ruoqi got a chance to get close to Zhang Cheng, and whispered in a low voice: "Eunuch Fang brought the emperor's oral order, asking Liaodong Wenwu to go out of the city to meet the general."

Zhang Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked softly, "Which Eunuch Fang?"

"Eunuch Fang Zhenghua, the supervisor of ceremonies, is also a close friend of the emperor, so he dare not offend him."

Zhang Ruoqi was afraid that Zhang Cheng's ignorance would offend the emperor's neighbors, so he hurriedly introduced this Eunuch Fang in his ear.

…………

Fang Zhenghua, a native of Shandong, entered the palace during the Tianqi period, and has been accompanying Emperor Chongzhen since then. He has always been cautious, not a domineering person, and he has good handwriting. eunuch.

In fact, neither Zhang Ruoqi nor Zhang Cheng at this moment knew that Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch who held the pen and was the supervisor of ceremonies, was still a loyal person to Daming.

Historically, in the winter of the 15th year of Chongzhen, when the Tatars invaded Daming Jifu for the fifth time, Fang Zhenghua was appointed as the director of Baoding's local military affairs, and he was responsible for protecting the city.

And in February of the 17th year of Chongzhen, when the bandits approached Gyeonggi, he was ordered out of the town again. At that time, he resigned as the prime minister, but the Emperor Chongzhen refused.

Then, Fang Zhenghua paused and said: "I can't do anything in this trip, but I will repay the favor of the Lord with my death."

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 guarded the city together with fellow acquaintance Shao Zongyuan and others.

According to historical records, sometimes people came to ask for instructions on various matters, Fang Zhenghua only said: "My square inch is messed up, so please do it."

He climbed up and defended the city until it fell, and he still fought hard to kill dozens of thieves. Afterwards, he was surrounded by many thieves. The thieves asked, "If it is who?"

Fang Zhenghua shouted sharply: "My supervisor, Mr. Fang!"

The bandit killed him with a knife, and all the eunuchs who followed him died fighting.

According to historical records, the eunuchs who were martyred at that time included Gao Shiming, the eunuch who held the seal of Li, Li Fengxiang, the eunuch who wrote Bingbi, Chu Xianzhang, and Zhang Guoyuan, the eunuchs who supervised the various supervisory bureaus.

…………

However, these original records in the real history have not yet happened in this chaotic time and space, so everyone naturally has no way of knowing, and although Zhang Cheng is a newcomer who broke the record, he still knows nothing known.

But in Zhang Cheng's memory, and in his innate impression, he didn't seem to have heard anything about this father-in-law of Fang Zhenghua. In his mind, even if this person was not as loyal to Daming as Wang Chengen, he probably would not be. As shameless as Xiancheng and the eunuchs Du Xun and Du Zhizhi.

At this moment, after listening to Zhang Ruoqi's introduction, Zhang Cheng already had a good impression of this father-in-law Fang.

He quietly told Zhang Chengfang, a Chinese military officer who was following closely behind him, to prepare a gift in advance, so as not to make Mr. Fang tired of his pommel horse and come to Liaodong for nothing.

On the other side, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, also quietly explained to Wu Sangui the reason why he went out of the city to meet him. Wu Sangui's face was constantly changing from green to red and white.

From time to time, he glanced at Zhang Cheng on the other side from the corner of his eye, and there was a very complicated and strange expression in that look, which contained both envy and strong hatred.

However, Wu Sangui at this moment can't pose any threat to Zhang Cheng, and since his aid to Liao, Zhang Cheng's performance is not only remarkable, he is simply a god-like existence.

Not only did he win consecutive battles against slave thieves, it can even be said that he killed all directions. The slave thief Zhonggu Shan was killed by the Xuanfu army in real battle, and even his Prince Yu, Duoduo, was beheaded by the Xuanfu army in front of the battle. , what else can Wu Sangui say?

Moreover, the Xuanfu army even took risks to attack Huang Taiji, the slave chieftain. Although it failed, it became an unforgettable legend among the troops aiding Liao.

In other words, under the city of Jinzhou, facing more slaves than Wu Sangui, it was the Xuanfu army who secretly dispatched surprise soldiers, and cooperated with Zu Dashou to push back the slaves in one fell swoop, and finally broke the siege of Jinzhou.

In this regard, although Wu Sangui was 1 unwilling, he was still convinced in his heart!
