Chapter 981
Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong vanguard of the Ming Dynasty and the former general who conquered captives, was shot in the right arm by a dirty arrow from the Tartars when he was out of the city to fight, and he didn't pay attention at first.

But after the war, he felt unwell. Although the arrow sores were treated in time, because Jinzhou was besieged for a long time, the city doctor died unexpectedly, so the arrow sores could not be completely treated.

In the end, the poison of the dirty arrow invaded into the skin. Even though Wu Sangui invited Shi Jianneng, a military medical officer from Xuanfu, the poison of the dirty arrow had already invaded the heart and lung muscles.

Although he cleaned up the wound with superb skills, the poison that invaded the heart and lungs could only rely on the power of medicine and stones. To put it bluntly, it was all luck.

If Zu Dashou's own physical fitness is excellent, coupled with the power of the medicine stone, it is possible to remove the poison carried by the Tartar's dirty arrow from his body.

However, if the immunity in his body is insufficient, even with the help of the medicine stone, it will be difficult to completely remove the poison of the dirty arrow, and he will suffer from illness and torture until he dies.

Zu Dashou is now 63 years old. Even though he has been a soldier all his life and is physically strong, he is old and weak and not as good as before. Failed to completely remove the toxins that invaded the body.

When Shi Jianneng left Jinzhou, Zu Dashou was still in a very energetic state, probably because the arrow sores had been completely cleaned up and the itching was no longer unbearable, which made him feel relaxed and refreshed.

But these are just appearances, the toxin has already invaded into the muscle, and it cannot be expelled only by medicine stones. Most of the time, this kind of situation depends on luck.

As for Zu Dashou, his good luck had obviously been exhausted in his previous military career, although with his current status and strength, no matter what kind of medicinal materials he could use.

Even if there is a lot of old ginseng from the deep mountains that are more than a hundred years old, Zu Dashou's house is not short of it, and it may even be more than the inventory in the Imperial Palace Hospital, but it is still difficult to save Zu Dashou's life.

On the first day of the first month of November, Zu Dashou was like a flashback. He was in a very good state of mind. He not only ate two bowls of rice porridge, but also ate some meat, and even drank three small cups of rice wine.

However, only he knows what his body looks like. Although Zu Dashou is in a good mental state, he knows that his body can't last long.

So the first thing he did was to send flying cavalry to Songshan Fort, summoning Wu Sangui and Zu Dabi to come to Jinzhou as soon as possible, and to tell them about something important.

After Wu Sangui got the letter, he immediately went to the Governor Xingyuan. He wanted to bid farewell to Hong Chengchou and probe into Hong Chengchou's tone. Did he have any other orders?
However, Hong Chengchou didn't give him any special instructions, he just told Wu Sangui that he could stay in Jinzhou and sit in town, so that he could take care of Zu Dashou's sick body nearby and prevent the slaves from coming back.

…………

Now in the side room of Governor Xingyuan, Xie Sixin turned the topic to Zu Dashou, and Li Song immediately said: "Didn't I hear that the military medical officer who treated 'Yongning Bo' for the wound of the dirty arrow was killed by the elder?" Uncle, please go to Jinzhou?"

"I have had the honor to meet this medical officer, and his medical attainments are indeed extraordinary."

Xie Sixin shook his head and continued: "It's a pity that Mr. Zizheng is not here now, if he had not seen countless battles with his military experience in his life, and what kind of arrow sores he had never seen before, it would be able to clear up my doubts for us. "

Futai Qiu Minyang also said at this time: "Yes, Mr. Zizheng has been recuperating in Ningyuan since he returned from the capital. I don't know, but seeing him better?"

Li Song continued: "The old man had a letter the day before yesterday, and he said in the letter, 'He is fine, and Ningyuan's affairs can be taken care of, and he can come to Songshan in a few days to meet us'."

He then went on to say: "Zhengweng also suggested in the letter to the governor that he could take advantage of the unhealed arrow sore of the ancestor commander to make General Changbo stay in Jinzhou to take command in the name of Liaodong General Army.

In this way, in the name of Zushuai sharing military affairs, the Chang Bo was able to control the Jinzhou army and horses, laying the foundation for future governors to purge the Liaodong military. "

Qiu Min stroked his beard and said: "Mr. Liu and I want to be together."

He went on to continue: "Now, General Xiao Cao is in Shanhaiguan, General Wang is stationed in Ningyuan, and Chen Zhongcai is stationed in front of the guard, half of Liaodong is under the control of the governor.

It is the best time to start suppressing the Liaodong generals and purge the Liaodong military. "

Xie Sixin glanced at Governor Hong Chengchou, and saw that although he still had the same benevolent expression as before, there was a majestic demeanor amidst the elegance.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou had no intention of opening his mouth, Xie Sixin immediately said: "Now that the slaves have not retreated, the most important thing is how to prevent the slaves from coming back, and we must not lose the big because of small things.

As for the future of Liaodong, after the slaves really retreat, I have a lot of time to arrange the layout, so why rush and be accused of being 'ugly'? "

Qiu Min smiled and said: "It is true that Ben Fu is a little impatient."

Li Song also smiled, but didn't say much about it, but turned his head to look at Governor Hong Chengchou, and said, "Minister, do you want to send someone to visit Zu Shuai in Jinzhou City, so as to love the lake?" heart of?"

Hong Chengchou showed a slight smile when he heard the words, and said: "This is natural. The ancestor is the pillar of the country. The family of the fourth generation of Yuanrong has guarded the border of our country for more than two hundred years. Too much.

It's just that the governor's military affairs are complicated, and it is at a critical time for the Liaodong military, but it is difficult to leave, and he cannot go to Jinzhou to comfort the ancestor commander in person, and he feels really uneasy. "

When he said this, he turned his gaze to Xie Sixin, and said to him: "Mr. Xie, please take a trip to Jinzhou for me, and express your condolences for the Governor."

When Xie Sixin rolled his eyes, he understood the meaning of Hong Chengchou's words, and immediately said: "Please don't worry, the governor, the students will go down and prepare, and they can rush to Jinzhou before dark. The governor's love for the ancestors will definitely be given to you." Pass it on to Zu Shuai verbatim."

Hong Chengchou nodded, and said to him again: "Bring some of the best medicinal materials, especially the best wild ginseng, and bring two to Zu Shuai."

He then told Xie Sixin: "When you cross the Xiaoling River, go to Yongningbo's army to have a look, and also express condolences to the soldiers of the Xuanfu on behalf of the governor."

"Yes. It's free for students." Xie Sixin replied.

At this time, Li Song asked again: "Minister, Mr. Fang Zhenghua has been urging to announce the army's return to the division. What should we do?"

Before Hong Chengchou answered, Governor Qiu Minyang said first: "The slaves have a great intention to withdraw their troops, and it's almost severe winter, and it's getting colder. I think there should be no more major wars in Jinzhou for the time being.

What's more, under the city of Jinzhou, there are more than ten thousand Ningyuan elites stationed by General Changbo, even if the slaves return, they may not be able to get a bargain for a while.

In addition, General Xiao Cao, Wang Zongbing, Chen Zongbing and other ministries are stationed between Songjin, and they can also enter the city of Jinzhou at any time. Why are you afraid of the slaves coming back? "

Qiu Min looked up at Hong Chengchou and said, seeing that he did not stop him, he continued: "Although there are nearly [-] soldiers and horses in the three towns of Xuanda, if they return to the division now, it will have an impact on the battle of Liaodong." Not big."

After listening to Qiu Minyang's words, Li Song seemed to have other thoughts, but he just opened his mouth, but he didn't say those words directly.

But his petty actions could not escape Hong Chengchou's eyes, only Hong Chengchou asked him: "Mr. Zhenzhong, if you have something to say, just say it."

Only then did Li Song raise his fists to Governor Qiu Min, and said: "Qiu Futai's words are indeed true. The withdrawal of Xuanda's army at this time will have little impact on Liaodong's military. The slaves and thieves are newly defeated, and the weather is getting colder. Sorry. It will not attack aggressively again.

However, the student thought that instead of forcing Xuanda's army to withdraw immediately, it would be better to transfer them to Ningyuan and then return to the division in batches! "

Qiu Minyang fell into deep thought when he heard the words, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, kept stroking his beard and nodding his head. After a while, he said: "You can adjust the soldiers and horses of the king's courtiers to replace Yongningbo and station at the Xiaoling River. All the ministries can temporarily be stationed among the pine, apricot, and high bridges."

"The governor's lesson!"

…………

Yongning Bo of the Ming Dynasty, the general of the Xuanfu Army, Zhang Cheng, the general of Zhenshuo, was standing on a mound on the north bank of the Xiaoling River, looking at the teams of capable soldiers of the Xuanfu Army on the bank of the river, thinking endlessly in his mind.

He led [-] heroic soldiers from Xuanbei to the Liao army, and after several battles, although they won consecutive battles, he even killed more than ten senior generals under Prince Yu Duoduo.

However, among the nearly [-] loyal and brave soldiers that he brought out, nearly [-] of them died in battle, and as many as [-] were injured. Among them, nearly [-] of them may be discharged from the army due to injuries.

Although he was able to be made an earl by the emperor because of his military exploits, and even advanced to be the general of Zhenshuo, but these were exchanged for the lives of Xuanfu soldiers.

"It's really 'one will succeed and ten thousand bones will die'!"

Zhang Cheng sighed softly, and couldn't help but think of Yang Guozhu, the former general of Xuanfu.

This time Yang Guozhu led 1 elite troops to aid Liao, but he died for his country on the battlefield, and left his life forever on the land of Liaodong, staying here with his father, elder brother, and nephew.

However, Zhang Cheng also took over the troops under Yang Guozhu's command. Although there is still a certain gap in equipment compared with the Xuanbei Army, in terms of the quality of the soldiers alone, they are all superior choices.

In particular, Guo Yingxian, He Zhenxiong, Tang Xiancheng, Kuang Yongzhong and others are rare generals, not to mention that they, as the team stationed around Xuanfu town, will be Zhang Cheng's greatest support after he goes to town.

Looking in the direction of Shimen Mountain, Zhang Cheng warned himself in his heart: "I will never let Yang Guozhu die in vain, and I will never fail Yang Guozhu's entrustment. I must lead the army under his command well, and lead them to hunt down the bandits and conquer the captives.

To avenge Yang Shuai and fight for a peaceful and prosperous world for the common people of the world! "

…………

Zhang Mingyuan galloped to the front, and said loudly: "Show me, Commander-in-Chief, General Wang Tingchen, Ningyuan's garrison commander, has arrived."

Only then did Zhang Cheng wake up in deep thought. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, follow Uncle Ben to meet General Wang."

Hearing this, Zhang Chengfang hastily led Zhang Cheng's war horse. It was a horse with black and white fur, like a chrysanthemum pattern, and it was one of the eight horses bestowed by the current Emperor Chongzhen when he received the award in Songshan last time.

This kind of fur-colored war horse is commonly known as "chrysanthemum green", but Zhang Cheng gave his mount another name, "Bi Cong Horse".

In the last battle between Jinzhou South and the slaves, Zhang Cheng's original mount was injured by the guardian, and he had to replace the horse. There were two war horses in the army, which Zhang Cheng kept for himself as a spare.

But after sending back the royal gifted war horse to Songshan Castle, he took a fancy to this piece of "chrysanthemum green" at a glance, and took it as his new mount.

Before leaving Songshan Fort, Xie Sixin came to practice for him. Seeing that he took this horse as his new mount, he asked Zhang Chengke if he had named this Chrysanthemum Qing.

Zhang Cheng replied naturally: "If you take it, it's called 'Juhuaqing'."

Xie Sixin said that he would quit at that time, he told Zhang Cheng according to the "Horse Classic", and finally strongly suggested that Zhang Cheng name this new horse "Bi Congju".

Zhang Chengyuan didn't know much about the "Horse Classic", and he heard that this "Bi Cong Horse" was indeed more elegant and louder than Ju Huaqing, so he named the war horse "Bi Cong Horse" according to what he said.

Now, he took over the reins from his adopted son Zhang Chengfang, and with a beautiful leap, he stepped onto the horse's back, gently knocked his legs on the horse's belly, and the bicong horse raised its hooves and galloped down the mound.

Zhang Chengfang hurriedly led dozens of personal guards, and then greeted Zhang Mingyuan who was under the mound, and rode away in pursuit.

…………

On the ninth day of November, the military camps outside Ningyuan City were connected together, and all the Xuanfu Army's battalions had completed their defenses and gathered here.

The troops from Datong Town and Shanxi Town had set off two days ago, but the two chief soldiers, Wang Pu and Li Fuming, did not return to the division with the army.

Their idea is actually very simple, they want to take this opportunity to spend more time with Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng, so they only send their own generals to lead the army first, and they only leave more than a hundred Ding Jingqi in Ningyuan City.

Chen Jiugao, chief of the Jingying Shenji Battalion, and Fu Yingchong, the deputy general, are also in Ningyuan City at this moment because they withdrew their troops together with Zhang Cheng and others.

Although Liu Zhaoji, the new chief soldier of Jizhen, did not receive the military order to withdraw his troops, his troops had been stationed in Tashan Fort. When Zhang Cheng passed through Tashan, he sent him all the way to Ningyuan.

Together with Zuo Guangxian, the newly appointed Liaodong regiment training commander, he also led dozens of Ding's guards to Ningyuan to see Zhang Cheng off.

Like Liu Zhaoji, he came not only to congratulate Zhang Cheng on being named Yongning Bo, but also to thank Zhang Cheng for his help when he came back to aid the previous time, especially Liu Zhaoji, who was able to be transferred to the commander-in-chief of Ji Town because of his meritorious service. In fact, it was all thanks to Zhang Cheng ambulance.

The last time the slave thief Prince Yu Duoduo led his troops to surprise the Xingta, if Zhang Cheng hadn't led his troops to rescue him in time, let alone whether Liu Zhaoji would have escaped with his life, if the grain stored on Bijia Mountain had been seized or burned by the slaves.

Even if Liu Zhaoji didn't die on the battlefield, he might not escape Hong Chengchou's punishment and the court's sanctions, and he might end up with a different head in the end.

Although Zuo Guangxian did not receive direct help from Zhang Cheng, first of all his Wudaoling line of defense was established with the assistance of Zhang Cheng. At the bridge and Tashan, it was Zhang Cheng who arrived in time, which saved the storage of grain on Bijia Mountain.

Otherwise, how can he get rid of the charge of Zuo Guang first blocking the enemy's ineffectiveness?
