As July approaches, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
At the head of Gongqianguan City, the guards guarding the city were holding flags and spears listlessly, huddled in the shadow of the battlements, hiding from the sun.
Su Lu squinted on the deck chair on the tower for a while. As the sun rose into the sky, the heat in the air became stronger and his body was all sticky.
The sand outside the Great Wall came with the wind. After Su Lu lay down for a while, his face was covered with sticky dust.
Standing up irritably, Su Lu ordered Niba next to him to get himself a basin of cold water, and then asked Chen Si, who was guarding the city at the battlement.
"Si'er, how many times have Thule soldiers come here in the past few days?"
Chen Si pinched his fingers and counted for a while, then said in a hoarse voice:
"Twelve times, the most was hundreds of riders spying on me, but they didn't dare to get close. The old man stopped when he got there."
Chen Si pointed to the hillside outside the city and said.
What on earth do these Thule people want to do?
Su Lu thought irritably in his heart that since breaking the Gongqian Pass, the right army was equally unstoppable. After breaking the Wangxiang beacon tower, they broke into the grassland and descended to Tianlan City. The army was hanging alone in the grassland.
Li Xiaoqin sent a letter a few days ago, talking about the dilemma he faced after being transferred to the Right Army. He asked Su Lu for advice on how to solve the current crisis in the Right Army.
Niba fetched water, Su Lu picked up the ladle, drank a ladle, and then gave instructions:
"Go and let the brothers on duty drink some too. Today, I'm instructing the gang leader to boil a few buckets of mung bean soup and give everyone a bowl."
Chen Si, Han Da Niu and others happily scooped up cold water to drink.
Su Ping came up from the city and said excitedly: "Second brother, Xiaoyun is here, and so is Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Changning should be back.
Su Lu thought of distilled liquor. He followed Su Lu down the city wall and saw several cars lined up in the courtyard of the Commander's Mansion. There were large urns on the cars.
Medical officer Song Xiaocao was also there, and there was a baby girl standing next to him, which made Su Lu feel a little familiar.
Changning couldn't wait to ask Su Lu: "How can I use this thing to stop the wound from festering?"
Li Qing, who was in purple robe, raised his eyebrows, his face turned cold, and he looked at Chang Ning.
He Wu suddenly stood up, pointed at Changning and scolded: "Changning, why are you talking to the prince consort? What is the identity of the prince? You don't want to live anymore!"
Chang Ning was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that his tone just now was indeed a bit too harsh. In the past few days, his attitude towards the princess seemed to be a bit harsh.
But the princess didn't say anything? Why is she so unhappy today?
It seems that the princess really likes the Marquis.
Thinking of this, Chang Ning bent down slightly, saluted Su Lu, and said in a respectful tone: "Master Marquis, I know my mistake, and I beg you to atone for your sins."
Su Lu waved his hand: "Just be careful in the future, Doctor Song. This is high-concentration wine. It can be used as a disinfectant to prevent the wound from suppurating later."
Song Xiaocao had heard from Chang Ning a long time ago, but he didn't quite believe that using this kind of thing could prevent suppuration. Mr. Hou was a good fighter, but he probably couldn't treat wounds like this.
Su Lu opened a wine jar, got up and smelled it.
Yes, it tastes like high-concentration alcohol, but the taste is mellow, many times stronger than the expensive wine I have drunk before. It is indeed brewed with pure grains.
"There are no purulent guards in the rear camp. Go and bring a few seriously injured people over, clean the wounds, and use this wine to disinfect them."
Several guardsmen responded and went.
Su Yun stood on the side of the car and said to Su Lu with a depressed look on his face: "Brother, our wine is not selling well, no one is buying it at all."
"From the time it was brewed until now, not a single jar has been sold."
Su Lu looked at Su Yun in astonishment: "Have you started selling wine?"
Li Qing sighed and said, "Our wine seems to be a little bad. Even a drunkard like Lao Chang won't drink it."
The concentration of Su Luxindao is too high. Of course, no one wants to drink it. If you really want to sell it, just lower the concentration slightly. It is normal that the sales volume is not good now. After all, there are really few drunkards who like to drink to get angry.
At this time, several guardsmen with suppurating wounds were carried over.
Su Lu interrupted the two of them and said: "We'll talk about selling wine later. What we want now is to save lives. As long as we can save lives, even if we sell them to the military, I think Princess Jianguo will have no objection."
Li Qing glanced at the liquor in the big vat in surprise. If it could really save people, it would be.
Several injured sergeants were placed in the corridor. Song Xiaocao checked the wounds and frowned even more tightly.
"They have been debrided four times. If they are debrided again, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive."
Su Lu nodded. If you clean it like this, you will be infected with bad bacteria sooner or later. It is impossible not to die.
"Use wine to disinfect the knife and cotton, and then clean the wound."
Su Lu ordered.
Song Xiaocao sighed. The weather was getting hotter these days, and more and more wounded soldiers were suffering from suppurating wounds. After more than a dozen died, Song Xiaocao formed experience under Su Lu's guidance.
Deal with it as soon as possible to prevent death from spreading.
Using wine to clean the knife and cotton, Song Xiaocao felt that it was a bit unreliable. There were so many methods from Mr. Hou, but they were not very stable. How could he wet the knife? This would make the wound sting.
"I have never cleaned myself like this, Lord Marquis."
Song Xiaocao wanted to give up.
The little baby came over and said, "Let Xiaomi try it, Mr. Hou?"
Su Lu glanced at Xiaomi in surprise. It was incredible that such a big baby was helping with the work.
In troubled times, human life is like grass.
"Okay, Xiaomi, come and try."
Su Lu said nonchalantly, "If it's cured, it means the soldier has a great fate. If he can't be cured, then it's his bad fate."
And this Song Xiaocao, it's okay to rely on your talent and Aowu, but if you don't have talent and still think about Aowu, do you really think that I can't deal with you? After only being treated well by others for a few days, you started to show off in front of yourself, the commander-in-chief of the Left Route Army.
Song Xiaocao's face turned red and she muttered, "Don't come to me again if you want to kill someone."
Su Lu called Li Kun: "Why, someone died in our camp, do we still need to find her Song Xiaocao?"
Li Kun was also a little disdainful of Song Xiaocao. He had some thoughts about Xiaomi's mother, so he thought of getting Xiaomi's mother to work with Song Xiaocao as a medical officer. If not, she could be an assistant.
I never thought that Song Xiaocao would not give face at all, and would not use anyone who sent someone. No matter whether it was suitable or not, if he dared to send someone, he would be scolded in front of his face.
"This is to save lives and heal the wounded. Can anyone do it?"
"Next time if you get hurt, don't blame me. I won't take care of you anymore."
"How dare you show off to me? Only half of the people in the wounded camp died, and I saved the other half. The wounded camp must listen to me."
Thinking about what he had been punished for, Li Kun glanced at Song Xiaocao angrily.
"What she asked for was that if she was not given this right, she would not be able to see the wounded soldiers. Governor Zhang Lu had no choice but to give her this right. The dead people had to have her approval before they could leave the camp, otherwise they would have to die in the camp.
Her actions disgusted many brothers to death."
Xiaomi had already started cleaning the wound. The silver knife dexterously passed through the wound, picking out the changed blood clots and rotten flesh. After a while, the wound was cleaned.
"Clean the wound with alcohol."
Su Lu gave the order and directed Xiaomi to clean the wound with alcohol.
The guard who had been debrided was grinning in pain, but when he saw several beauties surrounding him, he gritted his teeth and acted like a hero, without even shouting in pain.
Xiaomi moved very quickly. After cleaning all the wounds, Su Lu gave instructions.
"From now on, Commander Chang Ning will make the final decision on the wounded barracks. Xiaomi, you can follow Chang Ning to debride the wounds. As for Song Xiaocao, send her wherever she comes from. I, the Zuojun, can't use her."
Song Xiaocao frowned: "Master Hou, you will regret it. If you leave me, the wounded and sick will still be half dead."
Zheng Kai next to him laughed: "You said it as if you would die if you were here. Damn, you really thought you were a talent. You dragged me away and drove me out of Gongqian Pass. I didn't hear the order from the Marquis."
Several guards hurriedly rushed over, dragged Song Xiaocao away and walked out.
Li Qing glanced at Song Xiaocao who was being dragged away, frowned slightly, and said:
"At the Chinese army camp, you still need to transport food and grass. Well, the rewards you reported have been approved, and they are all in accordance with your requirements."
