Chapter 117 National Heroes of the Northern Song Dynasty (Large Chapter)

Chapter 117 National Heroes of the Northern Song Dynasty (Large Chapter)

"Treatment of knife and gun trauma?"

In the pharmacy.

Hearing the words of the old shopkeeper, Xu Yun's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked thoughtful.

Although according to what the old man said, some drug combinations were beyond his knowledge.

But Chinese medicine has a very distinctive feature.

Once the main ingredients are determined, not to mention the effectiveness of the medicine, at least the general purpose of the prescription can be determined.

That is to say

The Western general who came to visit Lao Su had a high probability of being injured himself or his subordinates!

And if nothing unexpected

This person should have been injured on the Western Front, and his current situation is very critical!

Although Xu Yun is not a liberal arts student majoring in history, thanks to Shui and some related books, he has a relatively clear understanding of the overall battle line during the late Song Dynasty.

Because throughout the war history of the late Northern Song Dynasty, one cannot do without a very distinctive character, that is.

Eunuch Tong Guan!

Xu Yun didn't remember the year and year of his birth, but there is one piece of relevant knowledge that once you read it, you really can't forget it:

He died in the same year as the Northern Song Dynasty, during which he was in charge of the military for more than 20 years.

And his history of power development was pushed forward three to five years, which was almost the time when the Western Front started.

Tong Guan in 1100 AD may not have reached his peak height, but the Song Dynasty's war on the Western Front has obviously begun.

This is also the incident of collecting Qingtang in Hehuang area. Basically, people who have paid attention to Tongguan will have some impression.

Of course.

What Xu Yun didn't understand was.

It was also around this time that Wang Hou was attacked by the old party. Cai Jing had a secret communication with Tong Guan when he was in Qiantang, and he was grateful to Tong Guan.

So he returned the favor and strongly recommended Tong Guan to become the supervisor of the army. In order to revive, Wang Hou was forced to accept Tong Guan into the system of the Western Army.

Since then.

Tong Guan, a famous eunuch in ancient history and one of the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, began his twenty-year career of monopolizing military power.

The gossip about Tong Guan will stop here and will not be mentioned for the time being.

all in all.

At least judging from the timeline, the battle in the Hehuang area is currently in full swing, and it is reasonable for someone to be injured.

As for the speculation that the situation is critical.

The reason is even simpler:

Lao Su is indeed a famous medical scientist in history, but his main achievement in medicine lies in the author of "Bencao Illu Jing", which is his ability to focus on theory.

He certainly has some medical skills, but the gap between him and front-line or even top doctors is still not small.

After all, there is a very realistic rule in the medical profession, that is, if you want to have top medical skills, you must first have a lot of medical experience and foundation.

Lao Su's past resume is very clear. Unless there is a cheat like Xu Yun, he obviously does not have this kind of practical opportunity.

Not to mention that this is Bianjing, the core heart of the Northern Song Dynasty, with countless imperial doctors and famous sages.

Objective point of view.

Lao Su's ranking among the top 20 candidates is considered high.

Now that the other party is asking for Lao Su's head, it is most likely because the previous visit was fruitless, so he can only come to Lao Su to try his luck and see if he can survive again.

"The general of the Western Army who has the honor to visit Lao Su's family must at least be a Zhenwei lieutenant, right?"

Xu Yun touched his chin and secretly thought about possible partners:

"Lao Zhong is currently working as a defense envoy in Mingzhou. If I remember correctly, he will go on an expedition with Tong Guan in four or five years. In addition, Lao Zhong and Xiao Zhong have not heard of anyone being seriously injured.

Could it be said that it was Lao Zhe, Wang Zhan, or the third wronged person in the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Fa? ”

After thinking for a while with his eyebrows twisted, Xu Yun gave up the idea of ​​guessing.

After all, my historical reserve is a bit poor. I know the names of many famous generals in the late Song Dynasty, but I can barely remember how and where they died.

But no matter how detailed my personal resume is, it is a bit blurry when I recall it.

It can only be said that from a probability analysis, the possibility of God of War Liu Fa seems to be a bit high.

A quarter of an hour later.

The shopkeeper put a pack of medicine on the table and cupped his hand towards Xu Yun:

"The medicine is ready, Chenghui 270 yuan."

Yong Zhu came over and paid the bill, and then hurried back to Su Mansion with Xu Yun and others.

As soon as he entered the side door, Xu Yun saw Mr. Xie Duguan waiting here.

The old governor didn't say hello, but asked directly:

"Yongzhu, where's the medicine?"

Yongzhu respectfully handed him the medicine bag and held the change in his other hand:

"Here it is and here is the recovered copper"

"I reward you with copper coins!"

Mr. Xie took the medicine bag, waved his hand casually, and hurriedly turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned to Xu Yun and said:

"Wang Mazi, you have served men before, let me help you!"

Xu Yun: "????"

Although there seems to be something wrong with what Lao Duguan said, it sounds a bit harsh.

But forced by the situation, Xu Yun didn't have much time to think, so he had to turn around and follow.

Whatever.

Just be weird.

Anyway, it is always a good thing to go to the medical site to see the situation.

"Wang Mazi, you must be careful, otherwise it will be difficult for you and me to explain."

Perhaps due to pressure, Laodu Guan didn't even call Xu Yun by his real name, and told him as he walked:

"The guests in the mansion today are in a special situation. The maids can't bear it. In desperation, they can only call you and a few other fine men to help.

No matter what you see or smell after entering the house, don't lose your composure. If you are beaten by a guest, just bear with it. I will provide you with subsidies in the future. ”

Xu Yun nodded clearly.

To put it bluntly, there are only two scenarios where maids are not suitable to appear.

Either the injured person's location is relatively sensitive, and the injured person has a strong self-esteem, just like many men in later generations like to hire male caregivers.

Either

The wounds are extremely scary and can easily cause visual impact to women, thus affecting their service work.

Then he glanced at Mr. Xie and said:

"The old man takes care of what he says. I will keep this in mind and I will not embarrass the old man.

I just don’t care. I wonder where that distinguished guest came from? How is your family background?

Can you reveal it so that the villain can be mentally prepared? ”

The old governor slowed down slightly, as if he was considering his measures.

After a while, he sighed slightly and said:

"Forget it, this matter is not a secret, you just listen:

The distinguished guest in the mansion today is the seventh generation grandson of Mr. Zhaoyi, the only grandson of the Duke of Li County in Daizhou. His surname is Wang, and his single name has the character "Zhen".

Now he is the captain of Zhiguo School, and he is famous in the army.

I came to visit the master today mainly to seek medical treatment for his eldest brother. Have you taken note of that? ”

Xu Yun nodded subconsciously, but suddenly there was a storm in his heart.

Wang Zhen!

I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it.

The Western Army general who came to Lao Su's house this time was actually him? !

In mainland China, Xu Yun's first exposure to this name can be traced back to "Water Margin" he read in junior high school.

In "Water Margin".

Wang Zhen first followed Tong Guan to fight in Liangshan, and later took part in the battle of Wulongling in Liangshan.

At that time, he was fighting with Jingde, the commander of the southern army. The two fought for more than ten times, and Wang Xun killed Jingde under his horse.

Later, when counting the loot, Wang Zhen and Zhao Tan became enemies with Ruan Xiaoqi, and they mentioned the matter in front of Tong Guan.

Hou Tongguan protects his shortcomings, please issue an imperial edict, move the official document to that place, pursue Ruan Xiaoqi's own official title, and return to the common people.

Ruan Xiaoqi's popularity was still very high at that time, so Xu Yun once regarded Wang Zhen as a villain.

But it took more than ten years, when Xu Yun had rich experience, to understand:

"Water Margin" is not a historical fact and contains a large number of fabricated plots.

For example, in history, there were only thirty-six actual leaders of the uprising in Shuibo Liangshan, and they were wiped out by Zhang Shuye, which was incomparable to the scale of Fang La.

Another interesting example is that the prototype of Lin Chong in "Water Margin" is currently generally recognized as Zhang Shuye.

Both are equally skilled in martial arts, have the same military rank, and have similar experiences and personalities.

In other words, in the world of Water Margin, there are actually two Zhang Shuye.

One fell into the grass, and the other became an official.

Lin Chong and others are fictional characters, and the same is true for Wang Zhen.

It's just that unlike Lin Chong, a completely fictitious person, Wang Zhen's experience has only been changed. This person actually existed in the late Song Dynasty in history.

And what kind of person is the real Wang Zhen?

One sentence can describe him perfectly:

Those who celebrate National Death Day are national heroes!

Before the Jingkang disaster, Wang Zhen was just a general of the Western Army who came from a military family.

His great-great-grandfather was also the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who was sentenced to death.

Wang Zhen followed Tong Guan in the Western Expedition for more than ten years. During this period, he had victories and defeats, and his performance was far less dazzling than that of Liu Fa, an old and small species.

If I have to say it, it means that he has superb personal martial arts skills. He has won the first place in internal competitions between the commanders of the Western Army many times, and he has single-handedly killed enemy generals many times on the battlefield - if not for this, "Water Margin" would not have chosen him. As the one who attacked Liangshan.

Before 1125 AD, his most outstanding achievement was probably capturing Fang La alive.

That's right.

He captured Fang La alive.

It sounds cool, but that's about it.

However, after the Jin people went south, Wang Zhen ushered in the most glorious chapter of his life.

At that time, when the Jin Dynasty attacked the Northern Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zonghan led his troops to attack Taiyuan. Tong Guan abandoned the city and returned to Beijing, leaving only Wang Zhen and Zhang Xiaochun to defend the city.

Wang Xun commanded the soldiers of the Xuanfu Division, and together with Zhang Xiaochun, who was the prefect of Taiyuan at the time, led the entire city's soldiers and civilians to protect the city.

Wanyan Zonghan's attack on Taiyuan lasted more than 250 days without defeat. "I learned that the king had to adapt to circumstances and could not attack in the end."

that's all.

Wang Zhen led the army and people of Taiyuan to defend the city from early spring to summer, and from summer to late autumn.

The Jin soldiers attacked the city nine times, but were repulsed by Wang Zhen nine times.

But it's a pity.

At that time, Song Qinzong was greedy for life and feared death, so he directly ceded Taiyuan to the Jin people, so he gave up here directly.

Real pig teammates.

For nearly nine months, Taiyuan had neither reinforcements nor food. There was no food in the city, and the defenders were so hungry that they could not even hold their weapons.

All the cattle, horses, donkeys and mules in the city were eaten, and Wang Zhen stewed the tendons from the bows and part of the hides from the armor over high fire to satisfy his hunger.

All the green leaves on the trees in the city and the chaff in the granaries were eaten up, and gradually even bark and grass were used as rations.

On September 13th of the first year of Jingkang, Taiyuan City was attacked by the Jin army after holding on for nine months.

Wang Zhen led the few dozen remaining soldiers to fight in the streets with the Jin soldiers. His shabby clothes were almost stained red with blood.

Some lost an arm, some had a broken leg.

But they still held on with weapons, and no one escaped alive.

Wang Xun was shot dozens of times in his body and escaped from the siege. Carrying the portrait of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi enshrined in the Taiyuan Temple, he took his son Wang Xun and threw himself into the Fen River and died.

How magnificent!

At that time, Wang Zhen's grandson, Wang Hangshang, was still young. Fortunately, the royal family's loyal old servant Fu Gu, from Tongchuan, Qingzhou, Shandong, went south for begging, and was able to preserve a trace of the hero's blood.

Later, Wang Hang lived in Changping Township, Yanguan County, Lin'an. Wang Wangwei, a famous modern Chinese studies master, was Wang Hang's 29th generation grandson.

This national hero who drowned himself in the river spent the last moments of his life trying to turn the tide, but he lit up the rather gloomy and humiliating history between the two Song Dynasties.

The most brilliant poem in his life was written with his own passion when the building was about to collapse.

If Xu Yun's feelings for Lao Su are respect, his feelings for Xiao Li are curiosity.

Then he undoubtedly has a strong and gentle respect for Wang Zhen!

Anyone who celebrates National Death Day deserves this kind of respect!

Think of this.

He couldn't help but become more and more eager to see this national hero.

And according to what Mr. Xie said, this time he was taking his brother to seek medical treatment.

But there are almost no records of his brother in history. Could it be that he was unfortunate because of this serious injury?

Then Governor Xie took Xu Yun through several courtyards and came to the east wing designed for guests to rest.

Compared with the simplicity and complexity of the south wing, the decoration level of the east wing is obviously much higher, and the overall layout is also very simple:

It is a square-shaped courtyard with houses on three sides and the entrance on the fourth side.

I only see this moment.

There were several soldiers standing at the entrance of the courtyard, their figures straight and murderous as if they had just come off the battlefield.

After verifying their identities, Mr. Xie Duguan and Xu Yun were put into the hospital.

The two came to a north-facing guest room, and Mr. Xie knocked on the door gently:

"Master, I bought the medicine."

In less than a moment, Lao Su’s voice came from inside the house:

"Come in."

After receiving the agreement, Mr. Xie pushed open the door and entered, and Xu Yun followed suit.

I only see this moment.

This room of about thirty square meters was filled with the smell of herbs, blood and pus.

There was an exquisite wooden bed placed in the corner of the room. Lying on the bed was a person whose face could not be seen clearly, and his chest was rising and falling.

Sitting beside the bed was Lao Su and a middle-aged man in regular clothes.

This man has sharp eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, a Chinese-character face with sharp edges, and a tall but not rugged figure, like an eagle in the dark night.

Leng Ao is solitary yet powerful, and in his solitude, he exudes a strength that lordes over the world.

There is no doubt about it.

This person is

Wang Zhen! (End of chapter)
