A few days later, Xiao Yao led an army of [-] to the northwest.According to the news obtained by the scouts, half a month ago, the army of Xirong indeed went to the northwest.

Xiao Yao vowed to behead Yuan Tan and drive the Xirong people out of the Great Wall.

Pei Linzhi sits in Chang'an and arranges for soldiers to clear out the remnants of the Western Army in the territory, clearing the way for future governance.

While mopping up the remnants of Xirong, he tried out the New Deal in various states and counties, and wrote to Xiao Yu, asking him to send officials to take over Xirong as soon as possible.

When Anguo promoted the land equalization system, it was obstructed by many local forces, but in Xirong, there is no need to worry about this. Whoever refuses to obey will be directly suppressed by violence.

Looking at the burnt palace, Pei Linzhi nodded. It seems that even if Chang'an is conquered, the capital cannot be moved for a while. Jianye's palace is already make do with it, but Chang'an's can't make do with it, it has to be rebuilt .

Rebuilding means spending money and time, which cannot be solved in a short while.

Xiao Yu was overjoyed when he received the good news from Pei Linzhi, he didn't expect Chang'an to be captured so easily, thank God, the less casualties the better.

Now the main opponent is only Dongrong. After a few years of recharging, he will be able to officially start a war with Dongrong. After expelling the barbarians, his wish will be fulfilled, and he can live a peaceful life with Pei Linzhi for a few days.

While Xiao Yu started arranging the selection examination, he sent officials to Qinzhou to assist Pei Linzhi in implementing the New Deal.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and I don't know when we will be able to reunite.When will they be able to live in peace and never have to be separated?

Xiao Yao led the army to meet the remnants of Tuyuhun on the border between Tuyuhun and Xirong.

Xirong attacked Tuyuhun City, the imperial capital of Tuyuhun, with all its strength. Tuyuhun soldiers fought desperately, but they still failed to resist the Xirong soldiers who were twice as many as their own.

Tuyuhun has been occupied by Xirong magpies and doves, and the Tuyuhun people can only flee in a hurry, but find that there is no place for them.

Seeing An Jun, Tuyuhun Shanyu came to ask Xiao Yao for help as if he had found a treasure, hoping that they could help drive the Xirong people away.

Xiao Yao's eyes rolled, and he made up his mind, and agreed to help Tuyuhun drive out the Xirong people.Because Tuyuhun raised horses for generations, the cavalry were brave and good at fighting, but because of the small number of people, they fought against Xi Rong for half a year, and when Xi Rong came out in full force, they fell behind.

The cavalry of the An army is not enough to compete with the cavalry of the Xirong. Using the cavalry of the Tuyuhun to deal with the cavalry of the Xirong will reduce the sacrifices of the An army and at the same time use this opportunity to consume the troops of the Tuyuhun.

Even if Xiao Yu didn't plan to swallow Tuyuhun in the future, he could turn it into a vassal state and horse farm of Anguo.With a horse farm, He Chou has no elite cavalry.

Tuyuhun wanted to take back his own territory, so naturally he was the first to charge forward.Cooperating with the An army's infantry, coupled with gunpowder, the only magic weapon for attacking the city, the two armies joined forces and broke through Tuyuhun City in one go.

Facing the fleeing Xirong people, Xiao Yao didn't care about the poor and the poor, and he led the army to chase and beat the Xirong people.

Along the way, the Xirong people suffered heavy casualties. At the beginning, they brought the family members of civil and military officials with them. Later, these family members were abandoned one after another. From the emperor to the ministers, they all fled on horseback.

Xirong fled all the way to the west of Liangzhou, Xiao Yao still refused to give up, because he had not killed Yuan Tan, and he and Tuyuhun Shanyu continued to lead the cavalry to pursue the Xirong army.The infantry has been abandoned by them, because the marching speed of the replenishment troops is too slow, there are too many people, the consumption is too high, and the supplies will not be able to keep up.

Tuyuhun Shanyu also seems to want to avoid future troubles forever, so he cooperates very much with Xiao Yao.The two armies joined hands and chased for nearly two thousand miles, and finally met the Xirong soldiers in front of Jiayuguan, and launched a desperate struggle.

The soldiers of the Western Army ran all the way, without any supplies at all. They were going all the way to fight all the way. There were countless cavalry left behind on the road. The tens of thousands of troops were slowly depleted all the way. When they reached Jiayuguan, only [-] of the original [-] troops were left. , or the kind that didn’t have enough to eat.

The situation on Anjun's side can only be said to be a little better, because of the rapid march, the follow-up food and grass can't keep up, and the food and grass brought by the soldiers have long been exhausted. It all depends on the Tuyuhun people's familiarity with the environment, and they can find aquatic plants in the desert and Gobi desert. The oasis can also be exchanged for food with the local nomads, so as not to run out of food.

Both sides are tired soldiers, fighting is the will.Xirong people don't want to lose, and if they lose, they will be doomed.An Jun and Tuyuhun Army didn't want to lose either, they worked hard to chase them for two thousand li, if they didn't kill all these Xirong people, all their hard work would be in vain.

The battle was fought in the dark, and it was obvious that the Anjun and Tuyuhun allied forces had a more obvious advantage. Not only did they have more soldiers and horses, but the shortage of food and grass was not as serious as that of the Western Army.No matter how brave the Xibing soldiers were, the war still came out in a one-sided situation.

More and more Xirong soldiers were cut off from their horses. As the casualties increased, the courage of the Xirong soldiers began to waver.

Emperor Yuan Tan of Xirong took advantage of the chaos and led his own soldiers to flee beyond Jiayuguan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yao rode his horse to chase after him, but he caught up with a stray arrow. He tilted his head subconsciously, and the arrow stuck in his neck. He leaned back and fell off the horse.

The entourage next to him jumped off the horse in fright: "My lord!"

Looking at the arrow stuck in the neck on the left side, his face turned pale with fright: "My lord, my lord, do you care? Doctor, come quickly, doctor!"

Blood gushed out from Xiao Yao's neck, and his attendants hurriedly reached out to block his wound, but they didn't dare, so they could only hold the arrow tail to prevent it from pulling the wound open.

Xiao Yao opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "Don't let Yuan Tan run away."

Tears came out along with him: "My lord, don't worry about that, you have to hold on, and nothing will happen!"

The doctor accompanying the army arrived quickly, looked at Xiao Yao's injury, took out a knife, disinfected it with alcohol, and decisively picked out the arrow stuck in his neck, then stretched out his hand, and pinched the blood vessel that was spurting crazily.

The doctor said: "Hurry up, take the prince to a quieter place, I'll sew up his wound, don't let anyone disturb us."

After hearing this, several relatives hurriedly carried him to the side. Seeing that Xiao Yao was injured, some soldiers came over and surrounded them automatically to prevent them from being attacked by the enemy again.

The doctor decisively took out the needle and thread, and sewed up Xiao Yao's damaged large blood vessel. Fortunately, the large blood vessel was only scratched by the arrow and did not break, which brought great convenience to the suture.

The young doctor's hands were covered in blood. It was his first time to sew up blood vessels in his neck. His hands trembled a little, but he still took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Seriously suture the blood vessels and wounds.

The young doctor's name is Qi Kuo, who was born in the Xinglin family. He has a weird temperament since he was a child, and he prefers to study the human body. However, his family studies mainly in internal medicine, so he likes to study the human body, which seems a bit out of place.

Fortunately, there was medicine in the imperial court selection exam, so he signed up, passed the exam the first time, and entered the Imperial Medical Center.There are many capable people in the imperial medical clinic, and there are also many strangers. He has made friends with the same goals, and he has a great affinity with Meng Sigui.

For some reason, Meng Sigui told His Majesty about his hobbies. Unexpectedly, His Majesty appreciated it so much that he even summoned him alone to talk about the structure of the human body.

His Majesty has also studied the structure of the human body. He knows that the human body has [-] bones and the approximate location of the organs.

Qi Kuo benefited a lot from that meeting and was also greatly encouraged.With the support of His Majesty, he began to study the human body and surgery.His Majesty also sponsored a laboratory for him to study and perform surgery, and even sent him several unowned remains for his dissection research.

One must know how shocking the dissection of the human body is, and only with His Majesty's permission can he be honored.

Because of these researches, his medical skills have improved a lot, but he didn't have the opportunity to display them normally until the war with Xirong broke out. He volunteered to come to the front line, because only on the battlefield can his medical skills be used.

Qi Kuo sewed up Xiao Yao's wound with gut, which was also taught by His Majesty, saying that the wound was sutured with gut, so there was no need to remove the stitches, and even if it was sewn inside, there was no need to cut it open and take it out again. Wire.

Xiao Yao's injury was very dangerous, but it was a blessing in misfortune. If he was half an inch to the right, he would have pierced his throat directly. Even if Qi Kuo had great abilities, he might not be able to save him.

After cleaning the battlefield, Ji Hai hurried over: "What's wrong, my lord?"

Qi Kuo, who was bandaging Xiao Yao's wound, raised his head: "The prince lost a lot of blood and passed out. I have already stitched up his wound."

Ji Hai asked excitedly, "Will the prince be all right?"

Qi Kuo shook his head: "Back to the general's words, I don't dare to promise a low position. It depends on whether the prince can recover." He has done a lot of suturing operations on the soldiers. Some of them obviously improved at the beginning, but later the wounds became inflamed. back.

Ji Hai knelt down beside Xiao Yao on one knee: "Doctor, you must cure the prince, he is His Majesty's only brother."

Qi Kuo nodded: "I understand, I must do my best."

"please!"

Yuan Tan and the remnants had already fled outside Jiayuguan, and Xiao Yao was seriously injured and unconscious. Out of various considerations, Ji Hai and Tuyuhun Shanyu reached an agreement and decided to give up hunting.So until the withdrawal of troops, Xiao Yao's wish was still not fulfilled.

Tuyuhun Shanyu left a team at Jiayuguan, stationed at Jiayuguan, to guard against Xirong's comeback again.

Ji Hai was concerned about Xiao Yao's injury in his heart, so he didn't think much about negotiating terms with Tuyuhun, and it was not up to him to decide on this matter. Tuyuhun owed such a big favor to Anguo this time, so he must negotiate some terms in the future Still easier.

Ji Hai buried the fallen soldiers and returned with the rest of the soldiers with Xiao Yao, who was seriously injured.

Tuyuhun Shanyu was extremely friendly to them, and took the initiative to send people to find food and grass, and also searched for medicine for Xiao Yao.Let them last until the delivery of food and grass. With the food and grass, the people and horses were full, cheered up, and rushed back. Xiao Yao's injury needs to rest, which is obviously not suitable for the vast desert and Gobi.

It was not until Wuwei, the state capital of Liangzhou, that they decided to stop and treat Xiao Yao well.
