"call."
"Just write it like this."
"Feng Jie, have someone escort him to Chang'an."
Feng Wuzhe put down the wolf-hair brush.
He is the real commander in chief in this Northern Expedition.
Ning Que had a great time fighting.
He has to take care of the aftermath.
Just counting the casualties and gains is very tiring.
Feng Jie accepted the military letter and went to make arrangements.
"Xiao Ning, you should stay for a few more days."
"Wait until the official decree is issued before returning to Chang'an."
"If we hurry up, we should be able to catch up with Zhengdan."
"It's no problem."
Ning Que smiled and nodded.
Zhengdan is the so-called Spring Festival.
It is the most important festival in Dafeng.
Everyone from top to bottom will celebrate.
The people slaughtered pigs and dogs and drank heartily.
Officials and ministers of the imperial court could also take a break and go home to worship their ancestors.
But Ning Que hasn't celebrated the New Year for a long time.
He has no relatives in Prince Ning's mansion.
Even when the Queen Mother invited him to the palace, he refused to go.
"Why, do you still want to stay in Shuofang to celebrate the New Year?"
"That's fine too."
"Your Majesty will not agree." Feng Wuze shook his head and waved his sleeves. "You must go back and prepare for your wedding. Don't let Qinghe down. I am here to take care of Shuofang's military affairs. You don't have to worry too much. The main force of Shuofang has been almost completely wiped out. They won't be able to cause any trouble for several years. After the spring, I plan to send more troops to sweep the grasslands. I will force them to continue to migrate north, so that they will no longer have the strength to move south."
"good."
Now that the war is over, further deployments are needed.
It is two hundred miles from Yanmen to Shuofang.
In order to prevent a counterattack from the Liao Kingdom, we must also make good preparations.
The two are mutually supportive.
The people also had to be relocated to Shuofang City.
To contribute to the subsequent construction of Shuofang.
Adequate city defense equipment must also be prepared.
Arrows, crossbows, stones...all of these are needed.
After fighting tooth and nail to capture Shuofang, there was no reason to surrender it. Feng Wuzhe would then have to reinforce Shuofang, so that the Liao Kingdom would be intimidated and flee completely to the northern desert.
"And there's Gu Yuan."
"He's really lucky!"
“Now they are all awake.”
"Dr. Chang personally examined him and said he would be a cripple for the rest of his life. The tendons in his hands had been severed, making it impossible for him to lift a sword. He's also been castrated, making it impossible for him to have children. Fortunately, he still has two younger brothers, and the Gu family's resources will definitely be transferred to these two brothers in the future."
"Um."
Gu Mingzhi is still relatively fertile.
There are seven legitimate sons and daughters in total.
As for illegitimate sons, there are at least ten of them.
It’s just that Gu Yuan has performed the best in recent years.
All the family’s resources were invested in Gu Yuan.
It’s a pity that Gu Yuan himself is not up to the standard.
The Gu family had no reason to support him anymore.
As for family affection?
Don't think about it.
Most nobles care about their own interests.
Compared with family affection and family interests, it is not worth mentioning!
"You will still be exposed to the dirty work of the court in the future." Feng Wuze looked at Ning Que and said earnestly, "This is a big melting pot. There are very few who can emerge untainted by the mud. Moreover, the emperor supports you in order to suppress the kings of other surnames. You must remember that it is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Even with the support of His Majesty, you cannot be careless."
"Thank you for your teachings, uncle."
Ning Que raised his hand in thanks.
"It's not much of a teaching."
"When it comes to wit, you're better than me."
"Okay, go and do your thing."
Feng Wuzhe looked helpless.
He didn't expect it...
Ning Que is so cunning despite his young age.
Take this attack on Shuofang, for example. He could completely take advantage of that old fox, Liang Yili. By using spies, he could actually make Liang Yili relax his guard. While the Liao Kingdom celebrated the destruction of their siege equipment, Ning Que made a direct move, stealthily attacking Chencang. Taking advantage of the dead of night, when the people were most tired, he conquered Shuofang in one fell swoop!
There will definitely be a bright future ahead!
…
…
Ning Que is very relaxed now.
After thinking about it, I decided to go to the wounded camp to take a look.
Comfort the wounded soldiers.
Before he entered, he heard Chang Baicao's angry scolding.
"You idiots!"
"Sprinkle some rice on the ground, and chickens will peck at it better than you!"
"I told you, the wounded camp should be as clean as possible."
"How did you do it?"
"Why are these wounded soldiers still lying on the ground?!"
"Doctor Chang, we don't have enough planks..."
"I don't care about that." Chang Baicao was furious and said coldly: "It's your fault if there are no planks. I don't care what you do, the wounded must stay in bed! These wounded have undergone surgery and need adequate nutrition every day. If there is no meat porridge, then add some muscle powder to it. You can't even use your brains?"
"Yes, yes, please calm down..."
Several doctors apologized with a wry smile.
The so-called muscle-growing powder is locust powder.
These were all brought from Jingyang.
"Uncle Chang."
"Everyone, please leave."
Chang Baicao waved his hand.
When the doctors passed by Ning Que, they all looked grateful.
There's no way, Chang Baicao's requirements are too strict!
After three days of continuous siege, Dafeng suffered heavy casualties. Even with a stockpile of medicinal herbs, they were currently insufficient. Chang Baicao had been operating non-stop for two days without sleep.
Under his care, the death rate of the wounded camp was greatly reduced. Originally, there was a saying in the Dafeng Army: If you want to die, die on the battlefield, otherwise die in the wounded camp!
Many soldiers died not on the battlefield, but in the rear. Medical care was so poor these days that it was said that one cut of tetanus was as bad as two. Without good nursing care, the mortality rate among the wounded was extremely high.
If you are familiar with modern history, you will know that Florence Nightingale, the founder of nursing, significantly reduced the death rate of wounded soldiers through professional nursing. Therefore, she was later honored as the "Angel with the Lamp".
