Chapter 57 Tragedy

Amid the blood stains all over the ground, Li Shan was still busy.

During this charge, two of his troops fell from their horses, one had a broken arm and the other had a broken leg. Li Shan had people cut branches, apply medicine after stopping the bleeding, and bandage them up with branches to fix them.

Twelve people from the opponent fell, six of them were killed on the spot, three were seriously injured with broken legs and arms, and three were killed or captured by Guo Pu and Li Shan.

Li Shan thought about it and didn't care. Although he didn't use any medicine, he applied a bandage to stop the bleeding.

Yuchi Baolin on the side looked very strange, her technique was so neat?

"Brother Li once studied medicine." Li Kai reluctantly explained. But in fact, this does not explain...

In this era, bandaging and treating injuries on the battlefield is actually not part of the main scope of medical studies, but those families with military strategists are better at this aspect.

"Brother Li!" Cheng Chumo's shout came from afar, "Such a good horse, Brother Li, give it a try."

Li Shan straightened up and looked at the tall horse that was being led with a smile. It was a flawless white horse, but its chest was stained with a large amount of blood. He remembered taking a look before charging into the battle.

"I tried it just now. It's very docile and soft-spoken." Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "It's just right for Brother Li."

Li Shan was about to thank him when Yuchi Baolin, who was standing by him, sneered and scolded: "You don't have any shame at all!"

Cheng Chumo blushed and retorted, "Brother Li is not going to fight anyway!"

"Are you blind?" Yuchi Baolin sneered: "With such an excellent horse, do you think he will go into battle in the future?"

After listening for a while, Li Shan understood that in this era, generals never rode white horses when going into battle, just to avoid becoming the target of public criticism.

Gao Xingcheng muttered to the side: "As far as Brother Li's riding skills...that skill...it doesn't matter what kind of horse he is in battle..."

Li Shan stared at him speechlessly, and Changsun Chong, who had recovered, snickered and pulled Gao Xingli.

"You're right..."

"Okay!" Li Shan took over the reins, "Hundreds of years ago, the world was divided into three parts. Liu Zhaolie was defeated at Changbanpo. Zhao Zilong, with his white horse and silver spear, broke through the siege. He rode through the siege alone with his young master, and killed fifty enemy generals in front of him.

member……"

Everyone around seemed to be listening to a book from heaven. Gao Xingyi stammered and asked: "Is it contained in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms?"

Li Shan ignored this guy and just continued to talk... The main thing he said was that he was so handsome among ten thousand people riding a white horse!

Li Shancai stopped talking until Zhao Zilong took away the sword Qinghong. Changsun Chong continued to listen, but heard the sound of horse hoofbeats.

Before charging into the battle, Li Kai had already sent his entourage back to the capital. At this moment, hundreds of horsemen were rolling in. The leader was tall, with a tall nose, a broad face, and a long beard.

The eldest grandson rushed forward and saluted, "Greetings to my third uncle."

Everyone saluted from behind, "Juniors pay their respects to Duke Xue."

Li Kai quietly introduced to Li Shan from behind that this person was Changsun Shunde. Although he did not serve in the Prince of Qin's palace, he was recognized as a member of the King of Qin's family. Changsun Wuji was the uncle of Princess Qin and had a close relationship with the saint Li Yuan.

Moreover, Changsun Shunde was the hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou, ranking fourth, second only to King Qin Li Shimin, Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing. He attacked Chang'an and captured the general Qu Tutong alive, and was awarded the title of Duke Xue.

Changsun Shunde looked Changsun Chong up and down carefully, then looked at everyone, "Is anyone injured?"

"The legs and arms of the two attendants have been properly arranged. We will find a carriage to transport them back to the capital later." Fang Yizhi bowed and responded: "The thieves came out of Changlepo, I'm afraid..."

Changsun Shunde had a compassionate heart, and after some thought, he commanded the cavalry to advance towards Changlepo and drive away the bandits. After all, it was only twenty or thirty miles away from Chang'an City, and yet such a commotion had occurred.

"The Chang'an order has also left the city. I am afraid that I will not be able to make it in time. I will lead several personal guards to come to the rescue first." Changsun Shunde looked at the corpse on the ground and said with a smile: "It's just Paulin. Demou has been through the battle, and I didn't expect to be able to do it all."

We won the attack without losing the reputation of Prince Qin's palace."

"I heard a few days ago that the descendants of the Qin Prince's Palace are not worthy of their reputation and have suffered many setbacks. Today they can make a name for themselves."

The expressions of the people around him were a bit strange, including Fang Yizhi, Li Kai, who were a little older, such as Chang Sun Chong, Gao Jingxing, Liu Renshi and others all looked at Li Shan involuntarily.

Following everyone's gaze, eldest grandson Shunde also saw Li Shan, "Are you a descendant of the He family?"

Li Shan bowed down and said, "My dear, I pay my respects to Duke Xue."

Li Kai on the side took a step forward and said, "This is a friend of the junior generation who is good at medicine..."

Changsun Shunde nodded slightly and ignored Li Shan. He pointed at Li Kai and cursed with a smile: "They say you, Li Demou, are cheating?"

Li Kai himself was fine, but others around him had toothaches again.

The eldest grandson, Shunde, paid little attention to government affairs, but he had a forthright temperament and loved to interact with the younger generation. He was quite close to the descendants of Prince Qin. Everyone entered Changlepo while joking and joking, and the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Although the fire has been extinguished, broken bricks and tiles can still be seen everywhere, and corpses lying on the street are ignored. Wails can be heard in the corners and go along the street. There are many civilians who have been slashed on both sides.

They were all young people, and who wouldn't be angry in their hearts? Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Gong waved their riding whips vigorously, yelling that the bandits were disgusting, secretly regretting that they had not pursued the thieves just now.

The soldiers accompanying him remained vigilant, but they also allocated their own hands to collect the corpses and bind up the wounds of civilians.

Li Shan dismounted to help, looked at the man who had been stabbed, shook his head and turned away, wounding a businessman who had been stabbed in the shoulder.

Amidst the gloomy clouds, Li Kai turned his head and looked around. The busy Li Shan still maintained an almost cold calm.

Sensing Li Kai's gaze, Li Shan smiled bitterly. Although the situation was so miserable, it was really difficult to stir his mood. Maybe in the dead of night, he would toss and turn and find it difficult to fall asleep, but now...

In my previous life in the hospital, I saw this scene many times. People waiting to die, desperate, crazy, pitiful... were staged every day in the hospital.

It's not that doctors are hard-hearted, but if they don't pretend to be hard-hearted, they can't be doctors. Many of Li Shan's college classmates didn't go to the hospital. The main reason was that they couldn't bear the psychological pressure.

Looking around, he found that it seemed to be near the wine shop. Li Shan looked at it again and again in surprise before walking into the burned-down house.

Lying on the ground was a young man. Li Shan bent down to explore and shook his head. He was already cold.

The shopkeeper I had seen that day huddled in the corner and cast a helpless look. He was an old man who looked to be in his fifties, with graying hair. The young woman next to him had her clothes torn and her face was full of tears.

You can imagine what happened without having to guess. Li Shan took a few steps back and forth and said casually: "It's been ruined. Are you willing to go with someone?"

There are many pitiable people, and Li Shan himself is pitiful enough in the eyes of those who know him, but poor people cannot get up by being pitiful. Their own weight does not depend on the degree of pitifulness, but on ability.

And this shopkeeper, in Li Shan's opinion, is still capable.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Shan walked out of the dilapidated house, followed by the shopkeeper named Liu Dong and his daughter.

Li Shan waved over a familiar general and whispered a few words, "Leave the body here and have it collected later."

"Uncle Wu has arrived, and we will leave it to the Chang'an County Government to deal with it later." Li Kai walked over and said in a low voice: "It's the refugees who are causing trouble."

"Yeah, I can guess that." Li Shan hesitated and asked, "Don't the government provide disaster relief?"

"It is supposed to provide disaster relief, but now the war is tense..." Li Kai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I have already interrogated him, and he is a refugee who escaped from Hedong."

Li Shan translated it in his mind. Hedong and Guanzhong are connected, and in later generations they were probably within Shanxi.

"Go back." Li Kai sighed deeply, "Let Zhujiagou pay attention these days and don't be disturbed by the refugees."

After a pause, Li Kai whispered: "Why don't you ask your aunt to go into the city to take shelter?"

It's impossible. I can't do that kind of thing unless the whole Zhujiagou goes into the city to take shelter. Li Shan mentally estimated whether the granary of Dongshan Temple is enough... More than half a month has passed.

"Brother Demou, can you borrow some equipment..." Li Shan asked tentatively.

"It's hard to borrow bows and arrows. Spears and knives can be spread out evenly, and they can be paired with ten pairs of armor."

"That's enough, that's enough."
