There was no fighting in the past two days, and the soldiers were repairing in the military camp. Xu Jing, as the commander-in-chief, had no time to spare, so he summoned the generals to discuss matters for most of the day. Then he went around the wounded barracks.
When marching and fighting, it is common to get injured. The military doctors in the military camp are also the busiest. The military doctors treat the slightly injured soldiers with special care, and they can go back to the battlefield to kill the enemy in ten or eight days.
If the injury is serious, use some wound medicine and put it aside to recuperate. To put it bluntly, whether you can survive or not depends on whether you are strong or not.
This is no wonder the military doctors. There are only a dozen military doctors in the huge military camp. After a battle, there are hundreds or thousands of wounded soldiers. Even with four hands, they are still too busy. Moreover, there are always not enough medicinal materials in the army. , we can only give medicine to the wounded soldiers who can be cured first.
After Xu Jing knew about this shortcoming, he ordered Shen Sheren to "raise food and grass" and buy more medicinal materials. By the way, he also "invited" the doctors from Qinghe County to the military camp.
In this way, the wounded soldiers could receive basic medical treatment. It also greatly comforted the injured soldiers. Xu Jing's reputation in the military camp became stronger day by day.
Xu Jing patrolled around the wounded soldiers. It was already evening. Then he went to the military tent of Marquis Zhongyong.
Marquis Zhongyong's life was finally saved. He was lying on the bed, and his eldest son Gao Wang was feeding Marquis Zhongyong medicine.
This is to show to Marquis Zhongyong that he will help Gao Wang. The Gao family and the Beihai Palace formed an alliance to help each other and serve as each other's arms.
"The Crown Prince," Marquis Zhongyong said in a low voice with some difficulty, "I want to ask for someone from the Crown Prince."
He sighed again: "The Xiaoqi camp suffered a huge defeat, and my second son was killed by a bandit's sword. I am so seriously injured that I will no longer be able to lead troops. When I return to the capital, I will submit a memorial and serve as an official. The only worry in my heart is Yes, it means the eldest son has high hopes."
Marquis Zhongyong didn't beat around the bush at all: "I like Xu San and want him to be my son-in-law. If the prince nods his consent, I will immediately ask Dalang to write a letter and send it back to the Gao family."
What kind of prince there is, what kind of personal soldiers there are. This Xu Shan, usually taciturn and shameless, is exactly the same as Xu Jing!
Xu Shan understood instantly, raised his hands and called "big brother".
Xu Jing whispered: "Master Hou, please take good care of your injuries and return to the capital with the army in a few months. By then, the emperor's anger will have passed."
Marquis Zhongyong smiled happily: "The prince has thought carefully."
Although Xu Jing was mentally prepared, he did not expect Marquis Zhongyong to be so straightforward.
As soon as Xu Jing entered the army tent, Gao Wang immediately stood up and saluted. Xu Jing smiled and said: "No need to be polite, you can continue to serve and give medicine."
Marquis Zhongyong smiled happily and whispered: "Get up! We are still fighting now, so we have to make a verbal engagement. Don't worry, I, Gao Peng, keep my word and will never regret my marriage for no reason like some despicable villains. From now on. From today on, you will be my future uncle of the Gao family."
Xu Jing took a deep look at Marquis Zhongyong and said, "Master Marquis, you are worrying too much. In my opinion, the commander of the Xiaoqi camp must be the one with high hopes."
Xu San bowed his hands and accepted the order to retreat.
Marquis Zhongyong's eyes lit up, and he raised his arm with difficulty to express his thanks.
Xu Jing winked at Xu Shan.
Xu San, who was guarding outside the military tent, quickly entered the military tent.
"The titles that were cut off from the Gao family may not be long before they can be restored."
Gao Wang responded and finished the remaining medicine.
Xu Jing turned around and ordered: "Xu San, go and tell the cook to make a bowl of porridge. Put some vegetables and meat in the porridge."
Marquis Zhongyong looked at Xu San's back with a smile in his eyes.
However, for such a good thing, any hesitation would be an insult to the Gao family.
Gao Wang was furiously complaining in his heart. Under his own father's warning eyes, he responded with a smile.
Xu San was sent away, and Gao Wang also silently exited the military tent under the signal from his father's eyes.
It was also the first time that Xu Jing saw Xu Shan looking so silly, and he grinned: "What are you still standing there for? Kowtow quickly."
Marquis Zhongyong responded with a smile, raised his voice and called his eldest son Gao Wang in, and said to Gao Wang: "His name is Xu Shan, and he will be your brother-in-law from now on. You two will get closer in the future."
Xu Jing smiled and ordered: "Xu Shan, come here and kneel down to greet your future father-in-law."
From today on, I should change my name to Xu Shan.
Marquis Zhongyong was still weak, but he was much stronger than before when he couldn't move or speak. He ate a full bowl of meat porridge and ate it all.
After burning the incense, Xu San brought the meat porridge over. Xu Jing stepped aside and motioned for Xu San to step forward. Xu San did not panic and stepped forward calmly to serve Zhongyong Marquis eating the meat porridge.
Xu Jing immediately smiled and said: "Master Hou knows a good son-in-law with his sharp eyes, how can I not respond?"
Xu Jing was secretly happy and pretended to be surprised on his face: "Master Hou, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
"He has been in the army for ten years. He has fought many battles, large and small, but he has never been a general. I am afraid that the position of general of the Xiaoqi Battalion may not fall to him."
"Xu San is my personal soldier and he has grown up with me since childhood. In my heart, I have always regarded him as half a brother. Half a year ago, I released Xu San and changed his name to
Xu Shan.”
At this point, our relationship with each other is very different, and our conversations have become closer.
Then, he loudly called Xu San to come in.
Xu Jing laughed and stretched out his hand to hold down the arm of Marquis Zhongyong: "When the Marquis is healed from his injury, there will be plenty of opportunities to say thank you."
Xu Shan finally came to his senses, walked forward, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.
In fact, there was no need for Xu San to do such a trivial matter as running errands. Xu Jing gave Xu San a chance to express himself! It can be said that he was worried about Xu San's life-long events.
Gao Wang: "..."
Xu Shan's tall figure trembled slightly, his eyes flashed with incredible joy, his mind was roaring, and for a moment he didn't even hear what his eldest son said.
Xu Shan responded, looked at his future father-in-law on the bed, and mustered up the courage to call Uncle Gao.
Gao Wang suppressed the awkwardness in his heart and nodded slightly to Xu Shan.
"It is a great joy to get a wife and get married. Xu Shan's official position in the Tiger Army is not high. When the battle in Qinghe County is over, it will not be difficult for Xu San to be promoted to an official position with his military exploits. When the time comes, I will accompany him personally.
The Gao family proposes marriage."
Seeing this, Xu Jing reminded him in a funny way: "In front of others, it's still the same as before. In private, just call me Uncle Gao."
Xu Shan's dark face turned dark red, and he kowtowed again before standing up. He wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say, so he looked at his eldest son for help.
There was a look of gratitude in Marquis Zhongyong's eyes: "No matter whether this matter can be accomplished or not, I will thank you."
Xu Jing smiled, stood up and said goodbye: "Master Hou, rest in peace. I will come to see Master Hou in a few days."
Xu Shan followed Xu Jing silently.
After entering Xu Jing's military tent, Xu Shan immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times.
