Chapter 643: War is always cruel.
When Li Dalang and Shijiu returned to the medical tent from the southeast corner carrying three packages, two large and one small, Dr. Sun had already processed all the remaining medicinal materials.
"Doctor Sun, look, Sanniang sent it from Chang'an."
Nineteenth took the package directly to the table without waiting for Dr. Sun's reply. He put the small one on the table. He walked to Doctor Sun and couldn't wait to open the big package that Li Sanniang had given him.
Medical Supervisor Sun is not surprised by Nineteen's escapades. Even because of the relationship with Nineteen in the past six months, he still feels that Nineteen's temperament is very good.
According to Dr. Sun, "Nineteen is pretty good. Although he talks a lot, he does things quickly.
He is smart, knows how to do things, and is good at learning. He helps me here. Very busy.
Besides, it’s a blessing to have someone so talkative by your side in a place like this.”
As for why Dr. Sun said this?
Of course it is because of their status as doctors.
Yes, the earlier army conquered the Western Turks, because of the black powder weapons developed by Du Qinghui that transcended the times, which allowed Datang to stand at the highest level in this era of cold weapons.
Not to mention, a special forces unit formed by gathering skilled soldiers like Li Dalang alone, and letting them go to the Western Turkic Royal Court to carry out a small operation and assassinate the then Khan.
Therefore, Shi Le'an was able to escort the captives back to Chang'an before the Wanshou Festival to celebrate Emperor Wu's birthday and at the same time deter the small countries surrounding Datang.
From an overall perspective, the war was a victory for the Tang Dynasty.
But this is war!
War has always been accompanied by blood, life and death.
As a doctor, Dr. Sun sees all kinds of soldiers with broken arms and legs all day long. Without a strong heart, it is difficult to be a good military doctor.
Although because of Li Sanniang, most medical doctors, especially those who could accompany the army to the border town, after arriving in the border town, after the soldiers rescued from the front line were delivered to the medical tent, the doctors treated most of the injured Using the debridement and suturing techniques taught by Li Sanniang combined with alcohol, basically as long as the situation is not too serious and you can survive the high fever caused by the infection, you can survive.
However, it does not mean that the world will be peaceful if you survive.
It is not easy for a person with sound limbs to live in this world, let alone a person with physical disabilities?
If the Tang Dynasty had not been strong and powerful, and Emperor Wu was very concerned about the soldiers, allocating food and arranging post-war pensions, those who were lucky enough to survive after being injured on the battlefield would have probably died, or even died. It was a miserable death.
Furthermore, people are different. Some people have concerns and beliefs in their hearts. Even if they have broken arms and legs, they will live well as long as they can live. They have a very positive mentality. Cooperate with treatment.
But there are always some people who find it difficult to accept having their arms and legs broken. Even if they survive with the help of Dr. Sun and other doctors, they still have no will to live and just want to die.
No matter how mentally healthy a person is, he is likely to feel depressed if he always encounters such people throughout the day.
At this time, the goodness of the Nineteenth is reflected.
Nineteen was active when facing wounded soldiers, like the sun shining on people, making them feel very warm in the cold winter.
For example, a soldier with broken legs refused to be fed and just wanted to starve to death.
Nineteen will say in front of this soldier: "Hey, you are lucky. If you survive a disaster, you will be lucky."
Isn't it just a broken leg? I have seen that kind of wheelchair. , you can train your arms in the future and travel in that wheelchair will not be hindered at all.
Brother, how can you admit defeat like this?”
Afterwards, Nineteen actually thought about getting the kind of wheelchair that Mr. Bu was sitting in to give away. A person with both legs broken has a will to survive. Others who only have one leg broken, one arm, or one eye blind, how can they have the nerve to live or die?
It was also from then on that the bleak and sad atmosphere emitted by the wounded soldiers gathering together in the medical tent slowly dissipated.
So, how could Dr. Sun dislike Nineteen?
"Doctor Sun, Dalang, look, the clothes the third lady gave me!" Nineteenth picked up the woolen sweater and woolen trousers with special treasure, and compared them with his hands.
"Hee hee, they are woolen clothes sold in the shop in the border market. I didn't expect that they are also available in Chang'an!
Haha, yes, that's Chang'an!
Well, I'll put them on later. It’s very cold after the snow falls.”
Nineteen put down his woolen clothes, picked up the package wrapped in oil paper, and opened it to see that it was a book.
“Here, you actually gave me a book?”
When Nineteen was unpacking his own package, Doctor Sun also opened the small package that Li Sanniang gave him. When Doctor Sun saw that the contents were also wrapped in oil paper, he knew in his heart that it must be a book.
Sure enough, when I opened the oiled paper, it turned out to be a book inside.
Doctor Sun wiped his hands on his clothes, then picked up one of the books and opened it, "It should be the book recently published by the Imperial Medical Office in Chang'an City, and the remaining ones should be compiled by Sanniangzi "
Nineteen nodded and responded to Dr. Sun's words: "Yes, it's for first aid, and there are pictures."
There is no oil paper in Li Dalang's package. There are books wrapped in them, and they are all for food and use.
Li Dalang did not follow the example of Nineteenth and take out every item in the package and take a look at it. He only opened it and took a general look at it, and then knotted and tied the package.
"I just read it, and there is no letter in it. I must have left the official inn this time.
Counting the days, it should be the messenger who is on the road due to the wind and snow. It’s been delayed, but it should be here in three to five days.”
When Nineteen was about to agree with what Li Dalang said, there was movement outside the medical tent.
"Li Duizheng, Commander Guo has something to do with you."
The three people in the medical tent looked at each other, and all three of them were a little confused. After all, although Li Dalang was promoted to captain due to his previous assassination into the Western Turkic Royal Court, this was not the same as the Guo Tuan training envoy in the army. There is no connection at all.
After all, Li Dalang and his two groups of soldiers were secretly recruited from Chang'an.
The training envoy of Guo Tuan was from a local military household in the border town. He had been fighting with his own sword for many years. He really had nothing to do with soldiers from Chang'an like Li Dalang.
Moreover, Li Dalang was directly ordered by the Guards. It was a separate department specially established to raid the Western Turkic Royal Court. It was very different from other frontier armies.
Li Dalang is a person who doesn't like to show off. Even though he has accumulated merits and been promoted to captain, he still keeps a low profile. He usually respects the generals in the army and keeps his posture very low. There is no contradiction to be said.
No matter what, it is impossible for Li Dalang to have a relationship with Guo Tuan Lianshi.
So, why did the training envoy Guo Tuan seek Li Dalang?
