Chapter 408 Severely injured and unconscious
Chapter 408: Seriously injured and coma
Even the crossbow could not seriously damage Dong Zunhui. Chen Chengzhao completely gave up the idea of landing and led the Tang army naval army to evacuate. The Tang army infantry on the land also fled to the distance in a daze, throwing all the supplies and equipment in his hands to the ground.
Looking at the Tang army soldiers who were leaving and listening to the cheers of their soldiers, Dong Zunhui smiled slightly. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't expect to squirt a mouthful of blood and fainted on the horse's back!
The soldiers were shocked and rushed forward and carefully helped Dong Zunhui off his horse. At this time, Cao Quan ran over excitedly. Before he could rush to the front, he shouted happily: "General, I, Cao Guozhang, admire you so much! Only eighty cavalrymen, killed tens of thousands of Tang army people, and burned all the supplies guarded by more than 10,000 Tang army members. Moreover, even the enemy's crossbows could not help the general... General, General, what's wrong with you?!"
Cao Quan immediately ordered the military Chinese medicine officer to come forward for treatment. The medical officer ran to the front and looked at Dong Zunhui who had closed his eyes, helpless. He was only good at treating external injuries, but the wounds on Dong Zunhui are not fatal, and it should not cause Dong Zunhui to faint. Perhaps the strength of the crossbow was too domineering, which caused Dong Zunhui to suffer internal injuries!
While carefully bandaging Dong Zunhui for external injuries, the medical officer whispered his guess to Cao Quan with sweat. Cao Quan frowned. Now Dong Zunhui is not just the commander of the first army, but his safety is related to the political situation in Haozhou and other places, and the morale and morale of the Later Zhou Nanzheng army!
Cao Quan shouted: "No one shall disclose the general's injury. After returning to the camp, everyone should publicize the general's deeds of trampling on the enemy camp and carrying spears and crossbows to stabilize the morale of the army!"
Seeing that everyone agreed, Cao Quan ordered people to weave a rope net, put Dong Zunhui inside, and carefully escorted him back to the camp. At the same time, Cao Quan immediately sent several envoys to inform Shi Shouxin, Han Chongyun and other generals to seek good doctors. In addition, Cao Quan immediately ordered people to rush to the capital to report to the emperor about Dong Zunhui's injury, and hoped to get help from the imperial doctor.
New Year's Eve is approaching, and Guo Rong is having a meal with the Chinese and Chinese civil and military officials in the Wansui Hall this day. He drank a few glasses of wine and said to everyone: "The weather is cold these days, and the wind is biting cold. I don't do physical work in the palace and can still eat delicious food, but the soldiers in front of me are going to fight bravely at the risk of flying arrows and rocks. I wonder if they have all their food and clothing? I feel that I really can't eat it!"
All the ministers advised one after another: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and takes good care of the soldiers. The soldiers will definitely be very grateful, work harder and fight bravely!"
Wang Pu and others also reported: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The newly sewn and purchased winter clothes have been distributed to the army, and the military rations are also abundant. There should be no problem dealing with unilateral combat!"
Guo Rong was relieved only then. He had a nightmare last night. He had been frightened since this morning and didn't know if something bad was going to happen. While the ministers were drinking, a famous eunuch went to the hall from outside the hall and secretly gave a memorial to a nearby servant beside the emperor. The nearby servant knew that this must be an emergency matter. He took the memorial and did not dare to check it. He immediately walked to the emperor and secretly presented the memorial.
Guo Rong took the memorial and it turned out that it was an intensified document sent by Cao Quan. After seeing the news that Dong Zunhui was injured and unconscious, Guo Rong stood up from his seat in a hurry. The ministers were shocked and quickly stopped drinking and looked at the emperor.
At this moment, Guo Rong tightened his palms tightly, put away his panic expression, and said with a smile: "Good news came again in front: General Yunhui, founding Hou Dong Zunhui, led only 80 cavalrymen to rush into the Tang army formation, killing generals and snatching flags and burning the army's baggage. The Tang army's several sieges were defeated by Dong Zunhui, and the morale of the army was depressed for a while, especially the nearly 10,000 infantry of the Tang army, who were defeated by Dong Zunhui! The Tang army's naval army once even launched a crossbow, but could not do anything to our General Dong, who was picked up by him with a spear!"
"There is such a powerful general to assist the court because of Your Majesty's power. I am the congratulations to Your Majesty and to my Great Zhou!" The clever ministers had already congratulated loudly. The ministers around them were not willing to be outdone, and all raised their wine glasses and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, to the Great Zhou!"
Guo Rong raised his glass with a smile and drank it all with his ministers. Half an hour later, the ministers left behind. Guo Rong left a few confidant ministers to explain the situation to them, and then said to them: "I have just quietly ordered the Imperial Hospital to send an imperial physician to the front line for treatment."
Wang Pu and Dong Zunhui had a very good relationship. He coughed and said to Guo Rong: "Your Majesty, Dong Zunhui is seriously injured and unconscious. When the imperial doctor arrives at the front line, it may delay the best diagnosis and treatment opportunity. We recommend sending the imperial doctor to go south quickly while sending someone to escort Dong Zunhui north, which will save time."
Guo Rong nodded repeatedly: "Wen Bo said so well. I immediately issued an edict, ordering Cao Quan to lead elite soldiers to escort Dong Zunhui to Tushan Camp and wait for the arrival of the imperial physician."
Wang Pu nodded gently, suddenly reached his throat and felt a fishy sound. He quickly took out the handkerchief, spit the bloody phlegm on the handkerchief, and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Guo Rong sighed and said to Wang Pu: "Wen Bo should also pay more attention to his health. Although you need to deal with the front line of supplies, food and other matters, you also need to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and do not harm your body! After all, you have been severely damaged and your body has not yet recovered completely."
Wang Pu smiled and said, "Weichen's body is not tight yet, so it can last for a few years. Now Dong Zunhui is seriously injured and unconscious. Although the relationship between the two generals Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin has eased, they cannot cooperate in the short term. They still need to be dispatched by the important officials! It's a pity that the few veterans who are most qualified to be in charge in our court are injured and cannot go south!"
Guo Rong nodded and whispered: "I have ordered the officials to prepare their troops and equipment and to reign in the southern expedition again after the New Year. This time, we must achieve major results and even destroy the Tang Kingdom, otherwise I will never return to Kaifeng Prefecture!"
Wang Pu and others did not dissuade them too much. Everyone knew that Guo Rong was a person and was very decisive. Once he made up his mind to the Southern Expedition, even if everyone was dissuading them together, it would be of little use. Moreover, the Southern Expedition was the top priority of the Great Zhou Dynasty today, and the emperor needed to take charge in person to suppress Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin and other arrogant soldiers.
Guo Rong discussed with his ministers and determined many matters of the imperial dynasty in the southern expedition. At the same time, he appointed Wang Pu to stay in the capital to handle military and political affairs. If there is any undecided matter, he could issue an edict.
After all the discussion was settled, Guo Rong ordered someone to recruit Princess Le'an into the palace and inform her of Dong Zunhui's serious injury.
When Guo Lean heard that Dong Zunhui was seriously injured and unconscious, he could not sit still, so he immediately asked to go south to visit. Guo Rong also felt a little guilty and immediately sent an elite cavalry to escort Guo Lean to Tushan to visit Dong Zunhui.
At this moment, Zhu Hulong and others also walked out of Hongze Lake along the secret waterway and rushed towards the Tushan camp of Zhou army!
