Bai Erlang left with her refreshed. For the convenience of management, he even ran to his room to pack his luggage, took his two guards and left.
Oh, they were given to him by Mingda, just to protect Bai Erlang's safety.
He will live in a medical tent.
He handed over the burden to the guards, and almost shed tears when he walked out of the city with Man Bao, "You don't know how difficult it is to manage the armory, I don't want to manage it at all, but Bai Shan said it's the easiest, if This doesn't work either, His Majesty will definitely be angry."
Although it's here to play for the credit, you can't really just do nothing, can you
Man Bao also complained to him, "It's not easy to manage medical bills. This Eastern Expedition is different from the last Western Expedition."
She said: "During the Western Expedition, General Ashina's people were in charge of the supply and logistics. We only cared about curing the sick and saving lives, and taking whatever medicine we had, but here, we have to take care of everything ourselves. The good thing is our medicine There are many more, and the medicines to be used will not be without; the disadvantages are too many, and you will know when you go. Sigh, I am tired~"
Man Bao said: "When it comes to the medical bill, you have to help me."
Bai Erlang is no stranger to this. During the Western Expedition, he and Bai Shanyin or Liu Huan helped manage this. He is familiar with registering and sorting medicinal materials.
He can also apply medicine, bandage and hand a knife to people. It is difficult for him to deal with general minor injuries.
Bai Erlang rolled his eyes and asked, "How about calling Liu Huan?"
Man Bao shook his head and refused, "He is from the Ministry of Industry, and he is here on a serious business. My temple is not big, and I don't need so many talents."
Liu Huan has a boss, and he obeys orders, unlike Bai Erlang, who is a non-staff, because the emperor wanted him to make meritorious service, so he was picked up from the Imperial Academy alone.
You can move wherever you need it, so there is no psychological burden for Manbao to use him.
The two rode back to the medical tent, Man Bao took him directly to the pharmacy, and called Wen Tiandong over by the way, "Although you both know each other, let me introduce you again. He is responsible for the logistics, Wen Tiandong, you assist him."
Wen Tiandong respectfully complied, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The teacher is still amazing. Their medicinal materials were changed, and the teacher turned around and called the son-in-law to guard them, to see who would dare to stretch out their hands indiscriminately.
Bai Erlang walked around the pharmacy and the back warehouse, surprised, "So many herbs? Is it just the first batch?"
Man Bao nodded.
Bai Erlang was speechless, "I remember that during the Western Expedition, there were only so many medicinal materials for the whole army, right?"
Man Bao said: "This time, our imperial medical department prepared in advance. Not only did the household department allocate 5 million yuan, but also the empress and the others donated more than 10 million yuan, which is much more than the medical expenses during the Western Expedition."
In the past when the army was marching out, the medical expenses were all saved from the food and grass provided by the household department to the army. Basically, they were wound medicines for stopping bleeding and nourishing blood, and there were no more.
It is also because the medicinal materials are fully prepared this time that the survival rate of soldiers is so high.
Bai Erlang checked the list with the past, and asked, "When will the next batch of medicinal materials arrive?"
Man Bao shook his head, "On the way, there is no news for now."
"The next big battle is not far away, these should be enough, right?"
"Looking at the number of casualties, I hope His Majesty and the others will spare their lives."
The emperor was taking the generals to survey the terrain on the spot, and he also wanted to take Liaodong City at the least cost.
He stood on the high ground and looked in the direction of Liaodong City, and said to Zhao Guogong: "Tomorrow, troops will be sent to encircle Liaodong City, and the garrison of Gaimu City will be brought in to help. We can set up an ambush here..."
Zhao Guogong also thought that this place is very suitable for setting up an ambush, and said: "You can also draw out the soldiers and horses from Liaodong City."
"We won Xuantu and Hengshan, time is fast, they will definitely want to fight back, if we lose once..."
Ashina immediately said: "I am willing to be the bait."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Okay, you can go."
Since you want to pretend to be defeated, the military doctors should not go forward too much, at least not in large numbers, so Zhou Man only ordered eight students with good riding skills, four male students, four female students, and nine backs. With the medicine box and the old military doctor with the army.
The army was stationed forty miles away from Liaodong City. When General Ashina and the others went to besiege the city, they stayed behind with the rest of the soldiers and horses. , stood on tiptoe and looked towards Liaodong City.
General Ashina led people to yell at the city gate, the people in Liaodong City couldn't take it anymore, they opened the city gate, and some generals came out to fight with General Ashina. They fought for an hour and charged twice. , the opponent may find that they can't win, and General Ashina can't kill them all or attack the city, so Ming Jin withdraws his troops.
The garrison in Liaodong City retreated back to the city. General Ashina ordered people to chase and kill them for a while, and when the arrow shot down from the city gate, he made people retreat immediately and also withdrew.
Of course, when withdrawing, all the corpses and wounded soldiers that could be taken away were taken away.
Hearing the voice, Man Bao turned and mounted his horse, "Let's go, go back."
When they ran back, some soldiers had already come back to inform them, and shouted: "The general has withdrawn troops—"
So the medical account and the kitchen got busy at the same time, Man Bao dismounted, and ordered: "Prepare two more pots, boil hot water, and start boiling the medicine now, are the medicine bags ready?"
Zhou Liru followed behind and said, "Everything is ready."
Man Bao nodded, "Let Wen Tiandong sort out the wounded."
The soldiers brought back the corpses and the wounded all at once, put the dead ones aside, and carried the angry ones to the medical tent.
General Ashina wiped his face and began to count the number of people. At the same time, he asked people to watch Liaodong City to see if anyone came out to clean up the battlefield.
There are still more knife wounds and arrow wounds, but this time the proportion of arrow wounds is relatively large.
Fortunately, not all arrows have barbs.
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief and asked everyone to prepare for the operation.
I have experienced it once, this time the students are orderly, at least their faces will not be pale.
Man Bao took out the arrowhead, immediately pressed the wound with a medicine bag, pressed it with one hand, and took a needle with the other hand to stop the bleeding. After a while, he picked up the medicine bag and began to sew him up to stop the bleeding.
Xibing went to deal with minor injuries, Man Bao is now alone again.
Wen Tiandong also came to help the patients after the allocation, and the most lively thing at the moment was the medical bill.
It was busy until the afternoon before all the wounded were treated. After washing their hands, they squatted in the camp with steamed buns to eat, while watching them dispose of the corpses.
For those who died in battle, their wooden plaques should be put away, and they should be sent back to their families together with pensions.
The corpses were burned, and most of them were turned into ashes to nourish the land. Some of them were from the same country. They would take a handful back to their families, so think about it.
