Chapter 633 Last Words

   Seeing brother-in-law's extremely distrustful eyes, Feng Yong swore in his heart that everything he said was serious and serious.

  In later generations, people who suffer from shortness of breath due to tetanus attacks will need to cut the trachea in severe cases to improve ventilation.

  In this era, if the trachea is cut, it is basically hopeless.

   That is, when the patient can barely breathe, put the mouth ball on them, and then perform artificial respiration.

   This is a very serious medical method.

  In Feng Yong's army, this is a medical device, otherwise Feng Yong would not have been able to prepare this thing in advance.

  But what the hell... I can't help but have a happy sand sculpture... Ah bah, no, it should be something that insults public morals, so can you blame him?

  Can you blame him?

  Seeing Guan Xing hesitantly took the mouthball, Feng Yong secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, my brother-in-law is a decent person, unlike those happy sand sculptures...

   "The person who gives Xingwu breath must have a long breath?"

  Guan Xing thought about it, and asked with a frown.

   "This is not necessarily true." Feng Yong naturally guessed what Guan Xing was thinking, "This matter, if a specially trained person comes to do it, even if it is a woman, then it is okay."

   "But if you haven't received special training, then naturally you have to find someone with a long breath, and you can send more breath to Brother Zhang."

  If you have received professional training, you will know the skills of breathing.

  In fact, in Nanxiang, there are indeed a group of female medical workers, similar to a combination of doctors and nurses, but they are basically used to care for women in childbirth.

  Artificial respiration is the most basic skill for doctors, and they naturally know it too.

   After all, sometimes mothers hold their breath and feign death. At this time, they need to do artificial respiration. This alone has saved no less than a dozen mothers.

  If you can pick a good-looking female medical worker to do this for Zhang Bao, it will save you worry.

  But female medical workers are women after all, and Feng Yong definitely dare not bring them into the army.

   Otherwise, as far as this era is concerned, it is easy to be misunderstood as a women's camp, and if the Zhuge old demon knows that there are women hidden in his army, he might be used as a sacrifice to the military law.

  If I temporarily find a weak woman who doesn't know anything to do this, just because she is shy, she will probably be hypoxic, how will she breathe Zhang Bao?

   This is not a joke. When Nanxiang first promoted artificial respiration, which female medical workers were so ashamed that they were about to suffer from hypoxia when they first learned this skill?

   What's more, Zhang Bao is still a martial arts practitioner, so his lung capacity must be much larger than ordinary people.

  Don’t say that we can’t find a woman in the army now, even if we find it temporarily, Feng Yong doesn’t dare to let her go. It’s not about saving people, but about harming them.

Feng Yong glanced at Guan Xing, "Fan Qi and his assistants are all professionally trained, but if they don't have the consent of Zhang's brother, I'm afraid they won't dare to do it... Well, this matter, I think it's still the elder brother It is most appropriate to talk to Brother Zhang."

   What he did to Guan Xing in Nanzhong back then is essentially the same as what he is doing to Zhang Bao now, so finding a human shield who is not afraid of death is the foundation.

  Guan Xing looked at Feng Yong silently, the meaning in his eyes was very clear: Are you afraid that he will beat you to death after he recovers?

  Feng Yong's eyes wandered again and again, but he didn't dare to look at Guan Xing: If I didn't do this, I would have been beaten to death by you when I was in Nanzhong. How could I have the chance to be your brother-in-law?

   "Cough, anyway, when Zhang's elder brother was in Nanzhong..."

  When Feng Yonggang said this, Guan Xing yelled, "Shut up!"

  So if it wasn’t for this kid’s identity as a brother-in-law, I would have strangled the guy in front of me on the spot!

  How come there are so many heresy!

  Although the means of treating Zhang Bao are a little tricky, compared to Zhang He, Zhang Bao is still much luckier, at least he still has a 60% chance of survival.

  As for Zhang He, although he was treated by the best doctor in Cao Wei's medical skills, the black and purple swelling had already crossed the thigh and began to spread to the abdomen.

  The room was filled with the smell of rotting meat, and some unknown stench.

   Zhang He's two withered arms were pressed against the couch, and he didn't even have the strength to move.

  His face has two high cheekbones, sunken eyes, purple lips that cannot be closed, and the slightly opened mouth groans from time to time.

   Pronunciation is very low, hissing, the head of the throat is covered with messy threads, and the eyes seem to be closed.

   Except for the slight ups and downs of the chest and the very difficult breathing, the person didn't move at all.

  A general who was supposed to be the leader of the army is now suffering from a serious illness, and only has a faint breath more than a corpse.

  Cao Rui walked in quickly, and was almost rushed out by the stench in the room. He held his breath and walked to Zhang Yun's bed, and called softly, "Old General Zhang?"

   Zhang He heard the cry, opened his eyes hard, saw the emperor in a trance, and moved his lips, "Your Majesty?"

   "It's me, I heard from the doctor that you have something to say to me?"

  Cao Rui responded quickly.

  As soon as Zhang Yun heard this, his face suddenly brightened, his spirit lifted, his body seemed to move, and his words could be heard clearly, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed..."

  "Old General Zhang has fought for the country all his life, and a temporary defeat can't explain anything. He just needs to recover his body, and it won't be too late to avenge his shame."

   Cao Rui quickly comforted him.

  Zhang Yun's skinny face moved, like crying and laughing, looking a little scary.

   "Your Majesty does not need to comfort the old minister. I know that my fate is not long, but before my death, I have something to say, and I hope that your majesty will not mind the old minister's nagging."

   "Old General Zhang, please speak, I am listening."

  Cao Rui ignored the stench, approached and said.

   "Your Majesty, the situation in Longyou has already been settled. In addition, now that the Great Wei has lost troops and lost generals, the morale of the army is not high. It must rest and reorganize. It is not easy to send troops to the west again."

  No one dared to say this except the dying Zhang Xi.

  Cao Rui these days, how can he not know that the Guanzhong army can't move lightly?

  It will take at least two months to prepare enough food and grass in Kanto.

  There is no food in Guanzhong, but a few days ago, a local official reported that the grain harvest in Guanzhong may fail this year.

  This year the weather is not good, it seems that there is very little rain, and now it is the season for planting millet. Because of the lack of water, there are many places where there is no chance to sow the seeds, not to mention private fields or government villages.

   Even the wheat that is ready to be harvested may be lower than usual due to the lack of rain in the past two months.

  So the method of supplementing the military rations after the summer rations are harvested is probably not feasible.

   It’s just that the Great Wei lost its teachers and lost its land, and the emperor personally led the army to gather in Guanzhong. If that’s all, where will the new emperor’s face be put?

   Dilemma, but the case.

  Hearing Zhang Yun's words at this time, Cao Rui was secretly relieved for some reason, "I will definitely consider the old general's words carefully."

  Seeing that Cao Rui could listen to his words, Zhang He's eyes lit up immediately.

   "Shu captives occupy Longyou, and they will definitely peep into Guanzhong. Your Majesty must have good generals to guard the dangerous pass. Chencang, Qianxian County, and Xinping County, these three places must be guarded. Your Majesty must pay attention to them."

  Cao Rui nodded, "I understand."

The more Zhang He said, the brighter his face became, "Your Majesty, Wang Shuang, who is guarding Qian County now, is brave if he is brave. If his strategy is insufficient, His Majesty has to send another good general to go. Otherwise, if Qian County is lost, there will be no defense. If there are no Qianxian and Chencang, Guanzhong will be in danger!"

   "I have sent Qin Lang there." Cao Rui said hastily, "How does the old general feel?"

   "General Qin has a military strategy, but he is too young and inexperienced. He can defend it for a while, but not for a long time. Your Majesty had better transfer a good general who is old in the army from the Kanto."

  When Cao Rui heard this, he was taken aback, "So what should I do? Does the old general have someone to recommend?"

   "Jia Kui, Man Chong, and Wen Pin, His Majesty can choose one of these three. Guo Huai, governor of Yongzhou, is also talented. If this person can escape from Longyou, His Majesty can reuse him."

   Speaking of this, Zhang Yun showed regret on his face, "If Guo Huai is trapped in Longyou, the Great Wei will lose a good talent! This is all the fault of the veteran."

   Having said this, Zhang He coughed violently.

  When Cao Rui saw it, he caressed Zhang Yun's chest in spite of the filth, "I have written down everything the old general said."

  Zhang He coughed for a long time before he stopped, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has not long been enthroned, and his foundation is not stable. Don't leave Luoyang for too long, otherwise the officials will have doubts."

   "I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to return to Luoyang in the name of funeral after I die. This will not only win your heart, but also avoid damage to your Majesty's reputation."

   Cao Rui was deeply moved after hearing this.

  He knew that Zhang Yun was really thinking about himself.

  If he went to the imperial conquest himself, but finally returned to Luoyang in disgrace, the emperor's prestige would definitely be damaged, so this was the main reason why he stayed in Chang'an.

   At least one victory must be won before going back, so as not to lose face too much.

  Now Zhang He pointed out another way for him: go back in the name of funeral. This will not only divert the attention of the world, but also appease the hearts of the subordinates - even a defeated general like Zhang Xi has such an honor, so what worries do others have?

  Thinking of this, Cao Rui's eyes were moist, "I understand what the old general wants."

  A smile appeared on Zhang Yun's face, and he let out a long sigh, "I am ashamed that the old minister has failed His Majesty's trust!"

   "The old general doesn't have to blame himself..."

  Zhang He coughed again, and then shouted, "I failed to see the Great Wei rule the world, but I have to die, hate, hate!"

   After shouting, the brilliance in his eyes disappeared, his neck tilted, and he lost his breath.

   "Old General!"

  Cao Rui yelled, tears in his eyes.

   "Your Majesty, Old General Zhang has gone..."

  The attendant doctor said softly at the side.

  At the end of April in the sixth year of Jianxing, Zhang He, the left general of the Wei State, died of his injuries.

  At the beginning of May, Wei Emperor Cao Rui ordered Cao Zhen to be the governor of Guanzhong, and then prepared to help the coffin by himself and return to Luoyang.

   At this moment, Cao Xiu sent a message from Kanto: Soochow Zhou Bing made a secret agreement to surrender from the county, and at the same time revealed Soochow's military secrets to Wei.

  Soochow took advantage of the opportunity of the Shu captives to invade Longyou, and wanted to mobilize the power of the whole country to invade Jianghuai and Jingzhou in five ways. Please make a decision as soon as possible.

  Cao Rui was furious on the spot after reading the memorial sent by Cao Xiu.

  The two captives of Shu and Wu are really hateful. Do you really think that there is no one in Wei?

  He thought about it, but couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while, so he called Sun Zi and Liu Fang to discuss it.

  Sun Zi pondered for a while, and first said, "Your Majesty, if the news of Wei's defeat in Longyou reaches Soochow, Sun Quan wants to take advantage of this opportunity, which is indeed in line with Soochow's style of taking advantage of others."

  Cao Rui nodded, his brows furrowed first, and then suddenly opened again, with a hint of joy on his face, "Then, the matter of Zhou Bing's surrender from the county is indeed true?"

  Sun Zi looked at Liu Fang.

  Liu Fang then said, "Your Majesty, whether it is true or not, we just need to see whether Wu Kou is really like what Zhou Bing said, and he can raise his troops to the north. It is not easy to say now."

  When Cao Rui heard this, his face was somewhat disappointed.

  The three of them discussed for a long time, but they were not sure whether Zhou Bing really surrendered, so they had to let Cao Xiu and Sima Yi pay attention to the changes in Soochow.

  After Sun Zi and Liu Fang left, Cao Rui returned to the bedroom, and the servant said that Cao Zhao would come to see him.

  Cao Rui didn't have any scruples about Cao Zhao, so he told him everything about it immediately, and then asked, "Chang Si, what do you think of this matter?"

  Cao Zhao is the son of Cao Xiu. He had received a letter from his lord long ago, and immediately persuaded him, "It's really hard to tell the truth from the fake, but if it's true as Sun Zi and Liu Fang said, just stick to it, but it's not right."

   "Oh? What's Changsi's idea, come quickly."

   Cao Rui asked quickly after hearing this.

  To be honest, it’s fine if you don’t know what’s going on in Soochow. If you know that Sun Quan intends to attack, Wei can only stick to it, which is not what Cao Rui would like to see.

   After all, the young emperor who dared to kiss Chang'an as soon as he heard that the Shu captives were invading, how could he swallow Soochow's breath so easily?

   "Your Majesty, Sun Zhongshuling and Liu Zhongshujian are old men who have gone through three dynasties and are experienced in doing things, so naturally they think it is important to stick to Jingzhou and Yangzhou first."

   "But don't forget, Your Majesty, the military situation ahead is urgent, and if everything needs to be reported, it will take at least half a month's time to go back and forth."

   "The matter of surrendering in secret, the time is uncertain. If Zhou Bream really comes to surrender one day, there will be such back and forth news. I am afraid that Zhou Bream has already been captured by Sun Quan before His Majesty's will! Wouldn't it be a great opportunity missed by then?"

   Although Cao Zhao said that Sun Zi and Liu Fang were old-fashioned on the surface, what he said actually implied that the two were too conservative.

  Seeing the hesitation on Cao Rui's face, Cao Zhao continued, "Your Majesty came to Chang'an personally, and now that Longyou has lost, I'm afraid some of the courtiers will feel contempt."

   "Soldiers of Eastern Wu are not good at land warfare. If you really can get Zhou Bing to support you, your majesty will be able to swallow Jingzhou and defeat Sun Quan. What is the shame of mere Longyou?"

   This sentence made Cao Rui's heart skip a beat.

Five months ago, I did not establish the Yu family as the principal, but instead made the Mao family as the concubine. At that time, some people were discussing in private, not to mention that the Yu family "does not match virtue, chaos starts from the top, and the country is worried." those words.

   Not only the aristocratic family, but also some people in the royal clan felt that it was inappropriate to establish the Mao family as the queen.

  Xiahouxuan, the son of Xiahoushang, not only ridiculed Empress Mao's younger brother, but even refused to sit with him, which is really annoying.

   Now that the Longyou army is defeated, those people might take the opportunity to say that they have lost their morals. I am afraid that the Hedong family represented by the Yu family will be very happy, right?

  Cao Rui thought this way, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely great.

  Zhang Yun's last plan, although it can temporarily divert the attention of the world, but after he is buried, someone will definitely bring up the loss of Longyou in the future.

   If you want to completely cover up Longyou's defeat, the best way is to prove yourself with a big victory.

  Thinking of this, Cao Rui finally nodded and said, "Changsi is indeed my confidant."

  "In the past, the late emperor and Sima Yi got each other. When the late emperor went to the east, he entrusted Sima Yi to take charge of the affairs of the west. When the late emperor went to the west, he entrusted Sima Yi to take charge of the affairs of the east."

   "Today, I can also learn from the late emperor, and ordered Da Sima to be in charge of the affairs in the east, and to have exclusive power over the military affairs of the Eastern Wu."

  When Cao Zhao heard this, he quickly prostrated himself on the ground, "On behalf of my lord, thank Your Majesty Long En!"

Cao Rui helped him up, and said with a smile, "Sima Yi is just a foreign minister, the late emperor could treat him like this, not to mention that Da Sima is a royal family member. .”

   As he spoke, he stroked Cao Zhaozhi's back again, and said softly, "What's more, you are the son of Da Sima. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
