"Is there such a strange thing?"
Inside the west tower of Dragon Gate Pass, after listening to Li Yu's story of that night, Li Zexuan was shocked. He rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time before turning his eyes to Li Yu and asking, "Is that why you came all the way from Chang 'an to Jiang Zhou?"
Sometimes he couldn't help but admire this little girl Li Yu. At her age, if placed in modern times, she probably wouldn't even have graduated from primary school, yet she dared to travel so far by herself. This could no longer be called independent, it should be called "precocious"!
Li Yu nodded and said, "In order to find my parents, I ran all the way from Yuezhou to Chang 'an, now that I've come all the way from Chang' an to Jiang Zhou, what does that count as? Sir, I really want to know who my parents are. I also want to know why they sent me away that year and didn't take me away. But I was still a step too late, the Imperial Tutor is now nowhere to be found! "
Towards the end, Li Yu's tone became slightly gloomy. She had traveled day and night without rest, but in the end she hadn't been able to achieve what she wanted, so naturally she couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Li Zexuan thought about it for a moment before replying, "I've fought with Wu Jie before. This man's martial arts are extremely high. He wears a black robe and a black hood, making it difficult to see his face, but his voice is very hoarse, as if … as if it's been burned by fire, dry and hoarse. In addition, he also has a strange internal force that can release something similar to lightning, catching people off guard!
Wu Jie's fighting style is inclined towards one person's strength, he doesn't like to beat around the bush, relying on his moves and personality. Wu Jie may also be the kind of person who doesn't like trouble, decisive and unstoppable, he really has the qualifications to be one of the world's top masters! However, I don't know much about Wu Jie's background! Master rarely mentioned him before his death, perhaps you can ask my Little Martial Uncle tomorrow, he should know! "
Recalling Xuan Qing's previous interrogation, Li Zexuan couldn't help feeling a little scared. So, regarding Wu Jie, he didn't intend to ask Xuan Qing himself, wouldn't that be walking right into a trap? It was better for Little Fishy to ask him herself!
In the end, Li Zexuan was still worried that Xuan Qing would find out that he was a fake. After all, he used to do many things under the banner of Spiritual Spirit Xu, and Xuan Qing had always had a good relationship with Spiritual Spirit Xu. If Xuan Qing investigated seriously, he would definitely find clues from many things!
"Yes! Good! I'll ask Daoist Xuan Qing tomorrow! "
Li Yu didn't think much about it and just nodded, then she suddenly said, "Yamachō, General Qin is leading the army to chase after the Imperial Teacher, do you think Wu Jie …"
Although he didn't finish his sentence, the gist of it was obvious.
Li Zexuan frowned, paused for a moment, and then said, "I heard from Renbiao that it's not just Uncle Qin and Uncle Cheng who are pursuing us from behind. To the north, there are also soldiers from Yunzhou, Shuo Zhou, Daizhou, and Yuzhou who are intercepting us. There are at least sixty thousand of them, and the Turkic army has already been defeated at Longmen Pass, so their momentum is no longer there. In the face of these sixty thousand soldiers, their defeat is certain!
However, Wu Jie and Ashina Sheerchu are both martial experts, if they escape with all their strength and pave the way for them with the lives of the Turkic soldiers, it will be difficult for Uncle Qin to catch them! "
Hearing this, Li Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Zexuan looked at Li Yu's face and asked, "Little Fishy, do you want Wu Jie to die, or do you want him to live?"
"I …!!"
Under Li Zexuan's gaze, a trace of panic flashed in Li Yu's eyes. She opened her mouth and said nervously, "I … of course I want him to die. I am a Tang and he is a Turkic. He killed so many Tang people, of course I want him to die! But before he dies, I want to hear the whereabouts of my father and mother from him! "
Li Zexuan nodded, then turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, "That's good! Little Fishy, no matter the situation, no matter the reason, I hope you remember that you are a Tang. You can never do anything to harm the Tang Empire, or I will never forgive you! "
The reason why Li Zexuan said this was mainly because he thought of a very frightening possibility. That Li Yu's parents were Turkic, or that Li Yu's father was Wu Jie!
Although the possibility of this happening was slim, it didn't mean it was impossible. Moreover, even if Li Yu's father wasn't Wu Jie, he and Wu Jie probably had some sort of relationship. This time, for Li Yu, this was a rather big personal test. To choose between righteousness and personal feelings, to be honest, no matter who it was, this was a difficult choice to make!
Li Zexuan's voice fell, and at this time, a loud noise came from outside the house. Li Zexuan's expression changed, and he listened carefully for a moment before saying to Li Yu, "The army chasing Wu Jie has returned! Let's go and see! "
Li Yu's expression changed, but after a moment, she nodded and replied, "En!"
The two of them left the house and went straight down to the gate tower. They saw that the gate tower was already brightly lit, with torches everywhere. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Hong Wenxing, Wang Renbiao, and the others were standing in front of the army, discussing something.
Seeing this, Li Zexuan quickly walked up and cupped his fists, "Uncle Qin, Uncle Cheng, Uncle Yuchi, you're back?"
"Hey! Little Xuan! Are you really okay? That's great! "
Cheng Yaojin saw that Li Zexuan's complexion was ruddy, and he didn't look like he was seriously injured at all. He excitedly greeted him and laughed loudly, "I told you, little brat, you're a man of great fortune, how could you fall so easily? Haha! Good! "
Qin Qiong stroked his beard, a look of relief on his face as he said, "When we were in Yong He Pass, Army Advisor Fang said that you were seriously injured by Wu Jie, and us old men were worried sick. Just now, Provincial Governor Hong said that you were rescued by Daoist Xuan Qing, and your injuries were healed. This old master didn't believe it, but now that I've seen you in person, this old master can finally rest assured!"
"Haha! Being able to fight Wu Jie head on and take away his treasures, after today, Little Xuan, your name will be known throughout the world! "
Yuchi Jingde said with a face full of emotion.
What he said wasn't false. Li Zexuan, with his Mid-Stage Martial Scholar cultivation, fought against a Great Grandmaster. Although he was at a disadvantage in the process, the result could be said to be his victory, because Wu Jie's treasures were "stolen" by Li Zexuan!
"Uncle Yuchi, please don't make fun of your nephew! This time, I was lucky enough to not die, and it was all because of Martial Uncle's healing, otherwise, I would still be in a coma! "
Li Zexuan said modestly, quickly taking the initiative to ask, "Let's not talk about this for now. How is the situation on the front line?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Little Yu 'er looking at him anxiously with pleading eyes.
Cheng Yaojin's face darkened, "Pei! That cowardly turtle Wu Jie ran away as soon as he saw us old men, and we couldn't even catch up to him! In the end, we still let him escape! "
Old Cheng originally wanted to fight with Wu Jie for three hundred rounds, but in the end, he couldn't even touch Wu Jie's weapon, which made him very angry.
Li Zexuan was surprised, thinking that this result was similar to his private analysis of the situation!
Hearing this, Little Yu 'er had a complicated expression. Hearing this news, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and her heart was extremely conflicted!
At this time, Qin Qiong added, "Although we didn't catch Wu Jie and Ashina She 'er, the 40,000 elite Turkic Wolf Cavalry were almost wiped out by us. Only a little more than a thousand people escaped with Wu Jie. These 30,000 Wolf Cavalry were the elite of the elite under Xieli's command, and they all died in the Great Tang. For Xieli, it was a great loss! "
Yuchi Jingde frowned and said, "Although the Turkic Wolf Cavalry suffered heavy losses in this battle, we also lost many soldiers, especially the soldiers of Yunzhou, Daizhou, Yuzhou, and Shuo Zhou. They faced the Turkic State Teacher head-on and lost more than seventy percent of them. Adding on the soldiers we brought from Qizhou, Bing Zhou, and the capital, we lost more than 43,000 people in this battle, a heavy loss!"
Hearing this, Li Zexuan was shocked, and he didn't dare to believe it, "The Turkic Wolf Cavalry is actually so strong?"
Qin Qiong nodded and said, "The Turkic Wolf Cavalry has always been unparalleled in the world, and this Turkic Wolf Cavalry tried their best to escort Wu Jie and Ashina She 'er out of the encirclement, using tactics that completely put their lives on the line. This kind of Turkic Wolf Cavalry is even more terrifying!"
Li Zexuan's mind was instantly filled with images of a tragic battlefield, and he said with a heavy expression, "It's a pity for these Great Tang soldiers!"
"General Qin, should this battle report be sent to Chang 'an?"
Meng Wenhao cupped his fists and asked.
Qin Qiong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Send it! However, at this time, King Wei and His Majesty should be resting! You can try it first! "
Meng Wenhao replied, "Yes! General Qin! "
After that, he turned and left, returning to his tent to send the telegram!
"The three Grand Dukes have traveled a long distance and fought through the night, so you should all be tired, right? This lowly official has already arranged a place for the three of you to stay. I would like to invite the three of you to take a rest! "
At this time, Hong Wenxing stepped forward and cupped his fists.
He was the Provincial Governor of Jiang Province, and also the 'host' here, so of course he had to be a good host!
Li Zexuan also reacted and quickly said, "Governor Hong is right. Uncles, you have been fighting for the entire day. You haven't slept a wink. It's better that you quickly go and rest!"
Qin Qiong nodded and said, "Okay! After the soldiers are settled, we will rest! "
As he spoke, he turned to Hong Wenxing and said, "Provincial Governor Hong, I'll have to trouble you to immediately send some military doctors over from the Jiang Province Military Camp, there are many injured soldiers in urgent need of treatment!"
Hong Wenxing hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "This official obeys! I'll send someone back to Zhengping County to get military doctors! "
The earliest record of military doctors in China was in the Zhou Dynasty, Lu Shang (Jiang Ziya) mentioned in the Six Tao, "There were three alchemists who established a hundred medicines to cure golden sores and ten thousand illnesses." By the Han Dynasty, military hospitals had already been established. The Book of the Later Han recorded an institution called the "Nunnery", which was similar to a modern battlefield hospital.
With the development of the era, military doctors continued to improve, and there was a professional medical institution in the Tang Army, which meant that every camp had a "medical examiner", who would check on the condition of the injured soldiers every day to arrange for medical treatment and evacuation. Not only could the injured soldiers be treated, but their condition would also be monitored regularly.
For example, the Zhechong Military Camp in Jiang Province definitely had a "medical examiner" department.
Hong Wenxing accepted the order and left. Li Zexuan's eyes flashed, and he cupped his fists towards Qin Qiong and said, "Uncle Qin, I also know some medical skills. Can you get people to bring those soldiers who are seriously injured and in urgent need of treatment over, and I'll treat them first?"
These injured soldiers were not only there to fight against the Turks. Some of the people from Qizhou and the people from Chang 'an were there to save Longmen Pass and save him. Li Zexuan had medical expertise. If he were to stand by and do nothing at this moment, his conscience would not be at ease.
Hearing this, Qin Qiong could not help but worry, "Xiao Xuan, you've just recovered from your injuries, so you should rest well and not overwork yourself!"
Cheng Yaojin also nodded and said, "Second Brother Qin is right, Xiao Xuan, you should rest well!"
Li Zexuan shook his head and refused, "Uncle Qin, Uncle Cheng, to be honest, I'm indebted to Martial Uncle for saving me. Not only have my injuries healed, but I've also luckily had a breakthrough. Right now, I'm full of energy, so you don't have to worry about my body!"
"What? Xiao Xuan, you've broken through again? "
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Haha! I was just lucky! "
Cheng Yaojin was speechless, thinking to himself, I also want to be as lucky as you, but unfortunately, I'm too old, and my martial arts journey will probably stop here!
Qin Qiong said, "Alright! Since Xiao Xuan's body is fine, I'll get someone to carry the injured soldiers over! "
"Okay!"
…
"Your wounds need to be disinfected with alcohol, or else they will fester and hurt a little, so bear with it!"
"Don't worry, Marquis, I can bear with it! Hiss! Ouch! "
"Didn't you say you can bear with it? Why are you crying out? "
"… Marquis, who would have thought that it would hurt so much! Hiss! It's burning! "
"Haha! Alright! Let me help you bandage it first, and the military doctor will apply some medicine for your wounds later! "
"Thank you, Marquis! Erm … Marquis, can you let me have a taste of that alcohol in your hand? It smells so good! "
"Go and rest! Did you not have enough pain just now? "
In the large tent in front of the Longmen Pass, Li Zexuan carried a simple medical kit and shuttled through the tents for the wounded. Most of the wounded soldiers suffered from knife wounds, so their wounds had to be disinfected. Otherwise, in this weather, the wounds would definitely fester and get infected. This was also why there weren't many ancient soldiers who died on the battlefield. Most of them died from festering wounds after the battle.
Luckily, Qin Qiong's army brought some medical alcohol when they came from Chang 'an, or Li Zexuan would probably have to distill and purify the alcohol in the camp!
