It took two months for the army to detour the northern border of Kucha, capture the city all the way, and divide the troops from the inside to go east to other cities of Kucha.
But now the road is smooth, and the cities and official roads are controlled by the army of the Jin Dynasty, in order to ensure the smooth flow of military reports.
So Man Bao and the others went all the way from Xizhou City to the King City of Kucha without hindrance, and they saw the gate of the King City of Kucha in three days.
There was an army stationed outside the royal city, and the ordering soldiers took General Han's badge and led Zhou Man and the others in. Soon, a logistics general came over, "The chief executive went to Shule Kingdom."
Ling Bing stared, "When did the chief executive go to Shule Kingdom? No, when did the royal city fall?"
"Two days ago," said the general, "King Qiuci escaped from the other side, and the chief commander ordered a fierce attack, and the city was captured."
He said: "Now the king's city is being cut off and cleaned up by our general, and the general manager is leading people to chase after the remnants of King Kucha."
He glanced at Zhou Man and knew why they came, and said to Ling Bing: "The chief executive has been better for the past two days. If you go after him and set off tomorrow, I'm afraid it will take four or five days to catch up." .The head steward leads Qingqi."
So what they are after is speed. Even if Zhou Man and the others are small in number, it will be difficult for them to catch up.
Bai Shan couldn't help asking, "The chief executive is going to the Shule Kingdom?"
The general said proudly: "Not only must we go to the Shule Kingdom, but we must also go to the Khotan Kingdom."
Bai Shan and Man Bao: There is a desert between them.
The general snorted and said: "Earlier, the King of Kucha refused to surrender, so he sent people to Khotan and Shule to ask for help. Both countries sent troops, and the number was only smaller than that of the Turks. The year before last, there was a drought in their two countries. Paying tribute to His Majesty, weeping for poverty, using some pony horses and rotten street gems to exchange a lot of food and tea from us."
"When I had milk, I shouted at our majesty Khan. When I heard the rumor that our majesty had smallpox, I immediately turned my back on it. The chief executive said, we must show them some color, so that they don't think we are big Jin There's really no one left."
All right, whatever you say is what it is. Man Bao turned to ask the soldier, "Are we still going after him?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment and then said: "We are following the order of General Han to ask your lord to see a doctor for the general manager."
"Okay, then we'll go after him tomorrow."
Now that the sun is about to set, it is obviously impossible to continue chasing.
Man Bao and the others could only live there first, but the general went to make room for two tents for them.
After they stayed, General Guo and General Meng came to see them together, "I didn't expect that General Han really invited Mr. Zhou here."
It was not easy to sit in the tent, so a few people stood in front of the tent and talked. Man Bao smiled and said, "It's my honor to do something for the Western Expedition. Are the two young generals not injured?"
General Guo Xiao said with a smile: "It's just some small bumps and bumps, it doesn't matter."
Bai Shan asked curiously: "Since the royal city has been captured, why don't you go in?"
General Guo Xiao said: "After the king of Qiuci fled, we attacked the city and the people inside surrendered, so there are still many old kings and nobles of Qiuci inside. It is safer to live outside, and we will deal with those who will be dealt with. After everything has been dealt with, we will enter the city."
Bai Shan nodded, turned his head and saw someone carrying a sedan chair, surrounded by everyone, heading towards the Chinese army.
"That is… "
"Oh, that's Zuo Cheng from Kucha," General Guo Xiao said, "It should be to talk to my father."
He said: "At the beginning, he led people to open the city gate to surrender, and he has been visiting his father for the past two days, asking him to deal with all the princes and nobles in the city as soon as possible, and said that the remaining royal family has always been disobedient. "
General Guo frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "He's right. Those people should still be dissatisfied. We should be more careful, but we won't strangle all the young and old like he said."
In General Guo Xiao's view, the Kucha Zuocheng can be a hero who knows the current affairs, and he can also surrender to the Jin Dynasty, but he should not kill the old master.
Dajin has always valued loyal righteous men who surrendered. For example, General Ashina, he is not only a Turkic, but also a Turkic royal family. After being used by His Majesty, he not only married a princess, but also himself has been reused. Dare to look down on him.
But General Guo looked down on someone like this Zuo Cheng who rushed to the front line to kill the old master.
Little General Meng also looked down on him, "But he is right about one thing. The people in the city are too mixed, so we should deal with it quickly. Who is going to inspect the city tonight?"
"Father, have you arranged it?" General Guo and General Meng were still young, so they were all under orders before the account, and they were not qualified to participate in decision-making on the front line.
Little General Meng stopped asking, and invited Bai Shan and Zhou Man, "Shall we cleanse you up at night?"
Bai Shan: "Can you drink alcohol in the army?"
Little General Meng said with a smile: "Even if you don't drink, it's good to have a meal together."
Bai Shan nodded in response, Man Bao asked: "Are there many injured people in the army?"
General Meng sighed, "Fortunately, this month has been besieging the city. The siege did not attack, or feigned an attack. Not many people were injured. Fortunately, the king city surrendered at the end, and it was opened from the inside. Otherwise, even King Kucha ran away. Yes, our siege losses are not small."
Siege always has higher casualties than defending.
Man Bao asked about the reserve of medicinal materials.
Seeing that she was so interested, General Guo and General Meng simply took her to the medical tent for a walk.
There was only one military doctor in their army, and two others went with General Ashina.
But he had quite a few assistants. When he saw Zhou Man and the others, he reacted. When he remembered who they were, his eyes lit up. He simply led them the way and led them to the medicinal materials in the medical tent.
Man Bao took a look and found that the medicinal materials were quite complete and abundant, so he nodded.
She mainly wanted to know how the wounded soldiers were transported here. The injuries suffered in the war were almost the same, basically all traumatic injuries, and the most important thing was to stop the bleeding.
But for hemostasis, time is the most important thing, so she wants to know how they transport the wounded soldiers, and where the medical accounts are usually set up...
The experience gained from here will be useful to her after catching up with General Ashina.
The military doctor knows everything, so he will ask Zhou Manhui's method to stop bleeding.
Man Bao taught him suture hemostasis and acupuncture hemostasis. The former military doctor also knows some things, but the suture is not as good as Zhou Man, and acupuncture is more difficult. The hemostatic acupoints are different for each part.
The military doctor couldn't remember so much, so Man Bao wrote a few prescriptions, mainly for the hemostatic points on the arms, legs, chest and abdomen, and waist and abdomen.
Seeing the great joy, the military doctor kept bowing to Mr. Zhou, "Thank you Mr. Zhou for your advice."
