Chapter 43: Its time to leave when youre exhausted
It's a good thing that Yunchu can return to Chang'an soon to study at the Four Gates School.
Fang Zheng is also about to go to Khotan, a city that was not too seriously damaged, to serve as his seventh-grade garrison.
He Yuanshan is dead, but his son is qualified to inherit his career, and he can also write his official name on the tombstone - Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie. If he is more shameless, he can also upgrade himself to one level and write
The imperial court will not pursue an official position such as Wuqiwei. After all, the person is dead, and the dignity that should be given must still be given.
The dead people feel that they are not at a loss, and the living people also feel that they are not at a loss. This is the reason why the Daguan Ling Yamen can still be cheerful and not gloomy to this day.
Yun Chu even believed that even if the ghosts of He Yuanshan, Liu Xiong and others were here, they would sincerely congratulate Fang Zheng and Yun Chu.
Fang Zheng killed a carbine and became the official commander of Qiuci again. He waited for Liang Jianfang to kill all the Turks in the Chuyue tribe, and then went to Khotan to take office.
Yunchu was dismissed from his job at Daguanling Yamen, and had to report to Liang Jianfang's traditional Chinese medicine department as the eighth-grade chief physician.
Before leaving, Yun Chu and Fang Zheng went to the mulberry forest again and dug out all the gold that He Yuanshan and the others had buried.
He planned to let Fang Zheng cast all the sand gold into various ordinary utensils, and when Yun Chu returned to Chang'an, he would take them back together and give them to their families.
Neither Yun Chu nor Fang Zheng had any intention of striking this gold. In Fang Zheng's words, this is not his mother's gold. It is human life. One bite will bleed. This kind of gold can only be used by He Yuanshan and his family.
If you don’t attract ghosts, if someone else uses it, there may be retribution!
That's right, it's the word retribution.
Today, these two words are very popular in the Tang Dynasty. After Master Huiyuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty restructured the retribution system, it has finally blossomed in the Tang Dynasty, and the Pure Land Sect founded by Master Huiyuan has become the most important thing in the Tang Dynasty.
Buddhist understanding.
The knowledge of Pure Land Buddhism that Yun Chu knew did not come from the past, nor did it come from the old monkey. He got it from the Daguan Order documents.
Officials in the Tang Dynasty also had ideological education and heroic models, which aroused officials' sense of shame and honor, which was also a very important part of official documents.
It's just a little bit obscure, not as shameful as later generations.
The matters at the Daguan Ling Yamen have been completely dealt with. The next step for Yunchu is to return to the Imperial Medical Department Yizheng to report for his position. After the report is completed, he can temporarily stop official duties and take the four doors given by Fangzheng.
I received the admission notice and went back to Chang'an to attend school.
Fang Zheng was really happy with Yun Chu. Not only did he spend 20,000 yuan to buy the miscellaneous medicinal materials that Yun Chu had obtained, but he also provided him with 20 camels.
He also kept telling Yunchu that as long as there was an opportunity to make money, he must not miss it. Once he returned to Chang'an, he would have to spend money every time he moved. There were not as easy ways to make money as in the Western Regions there.
Only when you have enough money can you truly enjoy the benefits of Chang'an. If you don't have money, staying in Chang'an will mean suffering, and it is better to stay in the Western Regions and be comfortable.
When leaving Qiuci, Yunchu actually didn't want to look back.
However, after leaving the Qiuci City Gate, his eyes never left the dilapidated city and Fang Zheng standing on the city gate.
In this short period of two and a half months, some people were promoted, some died in battle, some were leaving, and some stayed.
Except that this city has become a bit dilapidated, there seems to be no changes that can be remembered.
The battlefield that had just experienced a fierce battle was now the safest place on the land. Not to mention bandits, even wild beasts were not willing to easily enter this place where there was so much food.
A vulture that was circling in the air, waiting for an opportunity to eat a bite of carrion, fell from the air with a scream of "croak".
Yunchu put away his bow, pulled the reins, rode his horse and led the camel team towards Lao Mountain.
After the people of the Tang Dynasty came to the Western Regions, they had the habit of naming places. Just like Yunchu named the lake Grasshopper Lake, the name Laoshan was given by Liang Jianfang.
The reason why it was named Laoshan was because he had already besieged the Turks of the Chuyue tribe on this solitary mountain.
According to the internal information Yun Chu received from Fang Zheng, Liang Jianfang had no intention of letting these Turks go.
Of course, Fang Zheng's news must have come from one of his brothers-in-law, and the credibility is very, very high.
Yunchu didn't know if there was water on that mountain, but there was a high probability that there wasn't. He heard that tens of thousands of Turks were besieged on that lonely mountain. In the past half month, he didn't know how they would survive.
How to live.
The mare that Yun Chu was riding had a bad temperament. When it passed by the vulture that Yun Chu had shot down, she stepped on it without hesitation and put it on her foot, which broke her guts.
, this made the mare very dissatisfied. She shook her hoof and threw it at the camel's feet. Then, the camel's huge open feet trampled the vulture into a meat pie.
After walking for two full days and two nights, Yunchu finally saw Lao Mountain isolated on the Gobi Desert in the early morning of the third day.
At this time, there was thick black smoke rising from the prison mountain without a tree. It seemed that the Turks had not surrendered.
Yunchu didn't know why these Turks persisted. The sun was so scorching in the Gobi Desert at the end of July that it was difficult for people to survive for three days without water. I really don't know how they persisted for sixteen days.
There was only one reason for refusing to surrender - the surrender conditions proposed by Liang Jianfang made these Turks feel that it would be more comfortable to die in battle.
Yun Chu had no sympathy for Chu Yue Bu's current fate. Originally, he took Chu Yue Bu to graze sheep, herd horses, raise cattle, and feed camels on the rich pastures at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, which was a good job.
You only need to pay 5,000 sheep, 500 oxen, 300 horses, and 100 camels to the Anxi Army Commander Shi Lu Dake who is stationed in Khotan every year, and you can happily lead your Chuyue Department under the protection of the Anxi Army.
Beautiful days.
Unexpectedly, he had a seizure in his head and wanted to follow Ashina Helu, the rebellious minister and traitor, to rebel, and also killed Shan Daohui, the comfort envoy sent by Lu Dake.
Originally, this was just an internal matter within the Anxi Army. Chang Shi Lu Dake had already contacted his own people in the Chuyue Department and planned to kill Zhu Xie Guzhu, the leader, and cut off his head and send it to the emperor who was far away in Chang'an.
.
The matter had almost been discussed, and the distribution of benefits had been discussed long ago. The result was that Liang Jianfang, the general manager of the Gongyue Road march who was looking for Ashina Helu everywhere, heard about this, and the Chuyue Department even wanted to surrender.
When 30,000 soldiers came out of the customs, if they did not kill a few enemies and did not have some enemy heads to show their military merits, this was something Liang Jianfang would never tolerate.
Originally, Liang Jianfang's plan was to use Chu Yuebu as a trap to lure Ashina Helu's entire army to follow, so that he could resolve everything in one battle.
As a result, after losing a Kucha city and paying a heavy price, Ashina Helu broke camp and ran away at night after hearing that the Chuyue tribe was surrounded. Half a month was enough for him to travel a thousand miles.
of.
Yun Chu signed up for the supply camp and immediately met his direct commanders, He Bingshu and He Yizheng.
This is an old doctor who is over forty years old. People in the Tang Dynasty generally look older, especially after growing a half-foot-long beard. Yunchu believed him when he was said to be sixty years old.
His temples are gray with ten slender fingers, and his nails are pink and white. Although his hair is gray, it is well-nourished and clean. Just these hands make Yunchu full of respect for this old doctor. At least, he really has a doctor.
appearance.
Clean! It is the original form of a doctor.
Yun Chu had never believed in the legendary story of those sloppy old men who suddenly jumped out to save a dying man and then claimed to be a world-famous doctor.
Sure enough, as Dr. He entered the second hall, there were also several strong men and boys with a height of eight feet and a waist circumference of almost eight feet, who were decoction and picking up medicine. Everyone was very busy.
Yun Chu didn't understand why all the medicine boys in the doctor's family had this kind of body shape, instead of being like those boys from wealthy families, who had red lips, white teeth, and delicate bodies like women.
When he saw a boy walking in from the outside with a wounded number on his back and two wounded wounds under his arm, he finally understood something.
The boys of the doctor's family are not only responsible for carrying the injured, but also follow the doctor into the mountains to collect medicine from time to time, and also protect the doctor's life.
Since there are so many responsibilities, those boys who are only suitable to warm the bed of scholars are naturally not suitable.
The huge atrium is overflowing with the aroma of medicine. There is not a trace of dust on the ground. The most important thing is that there is a faint sour smell in the air. The rooms here must have been fumigated with willow water and vinegar.
From the moment they met, He Yizheng didn't say a word to Yun Chu. With a connoisseur's unique arrogance on his face, he just motioned for Yun Chu to follow him.
When Yunchu saw Ding Dayou lying naked on a piece of linen sheet, and then looked at the wounds on his body that were as dense as fish scales, he finally understood why this proud doctor brought him in.
After suffering such a heavy injury, Ding Dayou still acted very calmly. When he saw Yunchu looking at his wound, he waved his hand and said: "I hit the knife net set by the Turks, please sew it up quickly."
The wound on Ding Dayou's body was very fresh, and the rolled flesh turned a healthy pink color after being cleaned, making it suitable for immediate suturing.
He Yizheng just watched with cold eyes, still not saying a word.
Until Yun Chu took out his special bent needle, and then took out a small gourd. The gourd was filled with willow water. Yun Chu used a small iron hook to fish out a piece of silk thread from the willow water, and filled it with
On the bent needle, I started to mend Ding Dayou's wounds.
Ding Dayou had too many wounds on his body. Yun Chu started sewing at noon. By the time he finished sewing, the sun was already in the west. There was nothing that could be done about it. Some wounds were deep and required two layers of sewing.
above.
When Yun Chu finished his work, Doctor He was pulling at the thread that Yun Chu had left outside and said, "Is this for easy removal?"
