Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 121: New Army Digging Pit and Moving Corpses

Few people can suppress a military general like Cheng Zhijie.

Li Shimin was one, Li Xiaogong was one, and Li Jing was one.

But Li Ji is obviously not among them.

Originally, Cheng Zhijie was semi-retired, but due to the matter of the new army, a coincidence brought him back to the stage.

Given Cheng Zhijie's personality, he definitely wants the new army to achieve some results.

This battle is the best opportunity.

The commander-in-chief is a duke, but the new army has two dukes.

If Cheng Zhijie and Tang Jian really started a war, Li Ji would also be in a difficult situation.

At this moment, Li Ji had not yet destroyed Xueyantuo and Goryeo, and was not yet a figure who could be compared with Li Jing.

Li Chengqian had to remind them in person, which also gave Li Ji an opportunity to suppress the two of them.

Otherwise, it is possible that the guest will take over the show.

Li Shimin suddenly thought of it and said to Cheng Zhijie sternly: "Duke Lu, military orders are as heavy as a mountain, and military law is ruthless."

"Since the new army is under the command of the Duke of England, you should obey his orders."

Cheng Zhijie didn't expect that he would be beaten by the two palaces before the fight even started. He lowered his head and said, "I understand. I will obey your orders in all my actions."

"Duke Ju, you better keep an eye on this bastard. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you two accountable," said Li Shimin.

Don't tell me yet.

Li Shimin suddenly realized that Tang Jian’s duties in the new army were just right to restrict Cheng Zhijie. Otherwise, he would have been a little uneasy.

"He still thinks highly of me? Does he deserve it?" Cheng Zhijie muttered.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, both of whom were not big or small, heard it.

Both of them glared at Cheng Zhijie. A man in his fifties still had the temper of a child.

"His Majesty."

"Once the war breaks out, it is inevitable that Tang soldiers will suffer casualties."

"Should we ask the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau and Jishiguan to accompany us?"

"Should we hurry up and make the national flag, ship it to the north, and send a minister there?"

Li Chengqian made two suggestions, which immediately shocked everyone. The first thing they thought of was the prince's thoughts.

Li Shimin took two steps and asked, "Who should I send?"

"How about Li Daozong, the Minister of Rites?"

Li Xiaogong continued.

"Can!"

Li Shimin nodded, "It's decided."

"Select a group of doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau and Jishiguan to go north with Li Ji."

"After Li Daozon rushed the first batch of national flags to be made, he escorted them northward."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

……

When Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he ordered people to spread out on the ground the copy of the Great Tang Dynasty Landscape that Li Pangpang had worked so hard to create for two months.

This map is huge.

Li Chengqian took off his boots, put on his feet in footwear, stepped on the map, and looked at the distribution of the Tang Dynasty and the Xueyantuo.

Between the two countries, there is a key marker, which is the Li Simo tribe that serves as a buffer zone.

"Li Simo was driven into the Great Wall, and only Xueyantuo and its subordinates were outside."

It has to be said that Li Shimin's decision at the time was very wise.

Let Li Simo serve as the Tang Dynasty's barrier outside the Great Wall.

If Xueyantuo wanted to invade the Tang Dynasty, he had to first get past Li Simo before he could come into direct contact with the Tang Dynasty.

"We can definitely win the fight."

"But after we win, how can we prevent future troubles?"

He was thinking that it was actually very annoying to have a powerful enemy in the north who could threaten the stability of the Tang Dynasty's border at any time.

Li Chengqian couldn't understand how Yishi Yinan thought about things.

Li Shimin had just made a big promise in front of other countries, but less than two months later, he started to act up.

You really think the Tang Dynasty is joking with you and take the words of the Tang Emperor as bullshit, right?

Chunchun is courting death.

"Your Highness."

"Grand Scholar Sun is here."

Chang Sun Chong called out, Li Chengqian nodded and continued pacing on the map. He walked to the northeast, where Goryeo was located, and looked towards the peninsula.

Those are the two countries of Silla and Baekje.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

Sun Simiao stood outside the map, looking at Li Chengqian who was standing on the map.

"Mr. Sun, the Xueyantuo have offended the Tang Dynasty, ignored the emperor's warnings, and repeatedly provoked. Your Majesty has decided to punish them most severely."

Li Chengqian carried Sun Simiao on his back, walked and looked, and said: "I suggest that Your Majesty let the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau and Jishiguan accompany Duke Ying to the north."

"Soldiers will inevitably suffer casualties in battle. Those who died in battle cannot be saved, but for the disabled, you must do your best to treat them and save the lives of our Tang soldiers."

“Furthermore, this is also an opportunity to gain practical experience.”

"The soldiers' battlefield is about fighting, while your battlefield is about healing..."

Sun Simiao said solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best."

"Well..., there are some things for you to take with you. Knife wounds and arrow wounds that fester are actually caused by not cleaning the wounds properly and not paying attention to hygiene..."

Li Chengqian no longer hid his intentions, as this battle took place in the cold winter.

The casualties could be considerable.

He told Sun Simiao the details that should be paid attention to when cleaning the wound.

"Details often determine success or failure, and the same is true for injuries."

Sun Simiao urged his assistant to write down what the prince said.

"I just have some ideas. Whether they can work or not depends on whether they are actually feasible."

"I understand."

……

The violent war machine of the Tang Dynasty roared again under the order of the furious Tang Emperor.

The Tang Dynasty announced to the world that the Xueyantuo and other tribes had committed crimes that were beyond redemption and that the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers and generals must punish them with thundering means.

In this way, you can be worthy of heaven above and the people below.

No matter what, I'll put my hat on you.

The Tang Dynasty does not fight a war without a justification. As long as I have a justification, you Xueyantuo are the most unforgivable traitors in the world.

We must attack them.

Sun Simiao and other doctors set out for the north with 3,000 new troops.

The three thousand new soldiers were eager to try. After nearly half a year of holding back their energy, they finally had a chance to put it to good use.

After Li Ji arrived in the north, he led five armies to attack together.

The Xueyantuo were frightened and sent envoys to ask for peace.

But Li Shimin's face was smashed, how could he let Xueyantuo go so easily?

Instead of fighting to vent their anger, other countries thought that after provoking the Tang Dynasty, the situation could be resolved by just bowing their heads and asking for peace.

What might the Tang Dynasty have in the future?
What dignity does Li Shimin still have as the Heavenly Khan?

beat!
Must hit hard!

The Xueyantuo envoys were driven back before they even entered the Great Wall.

The Tang Dynasty had to compete with the Xueyantuo and give them a severe lesson to vent their anger and serve as a warning to others.

The five armies attacked, and the Xueyantuo were defeated. They retreated step by step, leaving behind countless corpses and fled in panic.

"Tell Li Simo to have his troops seize Dadushe and force him to turn back for a decisive battle."

"It's freezing cold, how long can he run?"

"If I can't run anymore, I'll have to turn back and fight."

Li Ji's army gave pursuit, with Li Simo's Turkic troops in the front. On the grassland, the Turkic army was more experienced and better adapted to the environment.

The Heavenly Master of the Tang Dynasty followed Li Simo, waiting to catch up with the Xueyantuo army and kill them in one fell swoop.

rear.

Sun Simiao brought a large number of doctors to treat the wounded soldiers.

"Luckily it's winter, so the injury hasn't gotten any worse."

"If it were any other time, it would be difficult to handle."

Sun Simiao was somewhat fortunate that the delay in sending the soldiers back from the front line did not result in irreparable injuries.

"Clean up his wounds."

He stood aside and directed the doctors to take action.

"Young man, please bear with it, it may be a little painful." The doctor kindly reminded.

The soldier looked pale and said, "It's okay...!"

"what!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the doctor poured a white liquid on his wound little by little. The sudden intense pain made him scream. His whole body was squirming and twisting, and veins on his forehead were bulging.

"Bear with it."

"Do not move!"

The doctor shouted, but his hands continued to clean the wound.

The other soldiers looked on in horror. How could this pig-slaughtering-like sound be even more creepy than the sound on the battlefield?

Aren’t these quacks?

"stop looking."

"It's your turn."

A doctor prepared everything and began to clean the wound.

"First...sir, could you please be gentler?" the soldier said a little fearfully.

"I am very light." said the doctor.

"Then why did he scream so miserably just now..."

"Oh, I do not know."

"……what!"

"Don't move, do you want to live?"

"I want to live, but I'm dying of pain."

Sun Simiao shook his head, he was no longer surprised.

The thing His Highness asked him to bring was called alcohol, which was specifically used to disinfect wounds.

He used to wonder whether alcohol was useful, but after trying it many times, he found that it did have a great effect on wounds.

"What about the boiled linen?"

"Wrap him up after applying the medicine."

Sun Simiao carefully checked the wound and after confirming it was clean, he gave instructions.

The soldier collapsed completely, doubting his life, with a look of fear still on his face.

"My dear, we are doing this for your own good, don't worry."

"We have confirmed that this method does not deteriorate the wound and cause pus to form."

Sun Simiao comforted him in a gentle voice.

"Sir, but I just felt like I had a close call with death," said the young soldier.

"Haha, you're back."

At this moment, others also began to howl like ghosts and wolves.

It can be said that in recent days, there has been no place without the howling of ghosts and wolves.

But the result was good. The wounds of many injured soldiers healed quickly, and those with minor injuries even had scabs formed on their wounds.

Just at this time, a team arrived.

The Minister of Rites, Li Daozon, arrived escorting a batch of national flags.

Cheng Zhijie came to greet him in person with a gloomy face.

Instead of getting the chance to go to the battlefield, the new troops became corpse carriers.

What a disgrace.

He almost got into a fight with Li Ji, and he never looked down on people like that.

"Hey, they are fighting in the front, and we are digging holes here, what's the big deal?"

"Who can say that? Are our new army members raised by a stepmother?"

"It's so humiliating, I..."

Pei Xingjian shouted, "Stop talking and obey orders in all actions. Have you forgotten?"

"Should I punish you by making you copy the rules a hundred times?"

The new soldiers who were digging the pit suddenly became silent and vented all their strength into the ground.

Pei Xingjian and his men were also very unhappy that two dukes could not compete with one Duke of England.

They were all thrown here, either to move corpses or to dig pits.

Who do you look down on?
