Chapter 243: Li Yuanqing's army is prosperous

When Li Yuanqing saw General Zhao leading people to greet him, he immediately dismounted, walked a few steps quickly, clasped his fists and bowed in salute, "General!"

General Zhao laughed heartily and boldly, his eyes were full of admiration, and he reached out and patted Li Yuanqing's shoulder hard, "Okay, very good, great! Go back and rest, and I will give you a celebration banquet tonight."

Li Yuanqing was not happy about this, but said with concern: "General Zhao, I am going to the northwest city to check whether the distilled liquor ordered is qualified. If it is qualified, it will be used to clean the wounds of the injured soldiers and reduce the cost of

The wound became inflamed and suppurated.”

General Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the distilled liquor made by Li Yuanqing seemed to have this effect, "You have worked hard all the way, I will have someone come over and get it."

Li Yuanqing shook his head with a firm attitude, "Others don't know how to test whether high-alcohol alcohol has an anti-inflammatory effect. The celebration party can be held at any time, but the injury of the wounded cannot be delayed."

Hearing Li Yuanqing's words, General Zhao was very pleased. It is not easy to have a general who shares the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, especially Li Yuanqing's strategy and courage. In time, he will definitely become a powerful general of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Okay, then take your people and go back quickly." General Zhao agreed and ordered the guards to protect Li Yuanqing's safety. "When you come back, I will celebrate your victory."

Li Yuanqing mounted his horse again, regardless of the hardship, and headed straight to the northwest city dozens of miles away.

When the officers and soldiers learned that Li Yuanqing had gone to the northwest city to get medicine and give it to the injured soldiers, they were filled with admiration. Especially the officers and soldiers at the bottom felt that their lives were valued.

Galloping all the way, Li Yuanqing led the people straight to the northwest city.

Within an hour, we arrived at Northwest City.

Xu Family Tavern, welcome Li Yuanqing in.

Li Yuanqing used mass and volume to calculate the density and personally tested it. The degree of distilled wine reached 75 degrees and could be used for disinfection.

Li Yuanqing paid the money, and then had people load the distilled liquor into a truck and escort it.

He and a dozen guards put a basket on each side of the horse with a jar of wine in it, and hurried back, hoping to get the soldiers to use these highly disinfectant wine as quickly as possible.

Back at the camp, the sun was already setting.

Li Yuanqing didn't bother to rest and immediately sent alcohol to the injured area.

Although he does not have medical skills, he does know how to deal with trauma.

Previously, he also required that the cloth used to bandage wounds must be steamed in a large pot and then dried before use. Previously, a small amount of high-alcohol wine greatly reduced wound inflammation and mortality.

So this time Li Yuanqing brought more alcohol, which immediately made these military doctors overjoyed.

Originally, the high-strength alcohol was no longer available, so the only way to dig out the suppurating areas of the injured was to use the old method of putting the knife on the fire. Now that alcohol is available, it is more convenient and effective to apply it on the knife.

In this sneak attack battle, facing an army three times the size of the enemy, Li Yuanqing's 20,000 men used tactical strategies and geographical advantages to achieve a great victory. However, they still lost 1,600 people and suffered 3,800 casualties.

Li Yuanqing was very sad and felt the cruelty of war. For those who died on the battlefield, Li Yuanqing could only try his best to urge the pension funds to be placed in the hands of the martyrs, and could not let his colleagues die with their eyes open and not feel at ease.

For the injured, Li Yuanqing urged the medical officers to do their best to treat them and provide all possible help.

"General Li!" When an injured soldier saw General Li, his eyes lit up and he shouted.

"General Lee!"

······

Calling one after another can show the soldiers' love for Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "Everyone should be treated with peace of mind. You must follow the medical officer's instructions, do not touch the water, and keep the wound clean. Dazhou will not treat any soldier who is loyal to the country and fights for the country. Every time

Victory is the result of the joint efforts of all soldiers. Recuperate well and reward everyone according to their merits."

When everyone heard this, they were even more excited, "Thank you, General Li!"

When General Zhao came to inspect the wounded barracks, he was very far away and heard the wounded barracks shouting "Thank you, General Li". He was very pleased.

"General, General Li's military power is increasing day by day, and he is almost surpassing the general." A guard on the side whispered to General Zhao.

General Zhao scolded in a low voice with stern eyes, "You are a soldier of my Zhao family, how can you say such a thing? Let's not talk about Li Yuanqing's seven battles and seven victories. He is admired and respected by the soldiers. Just look at Li Yuanqing's death every time he fights.

Generally, it is about 10%, and less than 30% are injured. But for others, even if they win, at least 30% will die, and half of them will be injured."

"For the injured soldiers, the medical officer used Li Yuanqing's method, and the serious injuries could be converted into minor injuries; the minor injuries could be healed quickly. For the soldiers who died, the pension must be sent to the martyrs. If you are a soldier

, are you willing to fight under Li Yuanqing’s account, or under someone else’s account?”

When Zhao Wei heard this, he looked ashamed and said, "General, I was wrong. I am narrow-minded. I saw Li Yuanqing's reputation growing in the northwest, and I was worried about surpassing the general, so I acted like this."

"Well, you have been with me for so many years, and I know you are loyal." General Zhao nodded, "My cousin is the Queen, and our Zhao family fights for His Majesty and the Queen, and even for the eldest prince. But

Li Yuanqing did his best to protect his soldiers for the great Zhou Dynasty, which is admirable. When you see General Li in the future, if you see me, you must not be rude."

"Yes, General." Guard Zhao responded, understanding that Li Yuanqing's growing reputation among middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers did not come out of thin air.

General Zhao came in, said a few more words to encourage everyone, and then took Li Yuanqing to the celebration banquet.

On the way, Li Yuanqing asked: "General, how should we deal with the 40,000 prisoners of war and the huge amount of food every day?"

General Zhao laughed loudly, "We will give you one meal a day, as long as you don't starve to death. Of course, you can't treat them with good food and drinks. The prisoners of war must have the consciousness of prisoners of war."

Li Yuanqing smiled. He admired General Zhao's straightforwardness and temper, "What happens next? What will your Majesty do with these prisoners of war? You won't just ask Xiyun State for a few words and just let them go, right?"

General Zhao was also quite annoyed, "The good news has been sent up. This time you directly hit the main force of the Xiyun Kingdom. There are also the third princes of the Xiyun Kingdom, who are the best at leading troops in war. There are many people from the Xiyun Kingdom following you.

My noble sons, I estimate that Xiyun Kingdom has sent a mission to the capital to seek peace talks and non-invasion."

"It's a joke. If you're defeated, you'll sue for peace; if you win, you'll plunder the people on the border. What Xiyun Kingdom does is a business that is sure to make a profit. If I were the emperor of Xiyun Kingdom, I would laugh out of my dreams." Li Yuanqing said this.
