He was amazed and moved.

……

Under the night, Li Chengqian could see the outline of Liangzhou city from a distance.

Throughout the day, the Tang army was chasing and killing the Turkic soldiers who fled like bereaved dogs.

Along the way, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like rivers.

Roughly calculated, there were 20 Turkic troops, but fewer than [-] managed to escape back to Turkic territory.

It was not that 12 enemy troops were beheaded in this battle, but that during the flight, the Turkic soldiers panicked and many scattered soldiers wandered elsewhere.

"His Royal Highness, your majesty and empress are very worried when you come out this time. Now that the war is over, we need to rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible." Li Jing said from the side.

Cheng Yaojin grinned and said: "Yes, Your Royal Highness, you have made a lot of contributions this time, and I can be regarded as a rich man by following you, haha..."

At this moment, people were exhausted, and their bodies were soaked in blood. The strong smell of blood filled the sky, and they looked quite embarrassed.

But everyone had a smile on their face.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "A large number of Turkic beasts are scattered everywhere. If they are not killed or driven out of the country, they may harass the people again."

Li Jing nodded in agreement, thought for a while, and said, "Leave this matter to the minister. Tomorrow morning, we will lead troops to set off, and then we will send troops from all cities to carry out the suppression. Two days will be enough."

After thinking for a while, Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Alright, let my subordinates be with you, and then we will return to Chang'an together."

"Yes."

At this moment, Li Jing can be said to obey Li Chengqian's words.

Without it, Li Chengqian's actions have already convinced him.

"Your Majesty, lead all the soldiers and the people of Liangzhou to welcome His Royal Highness the crown prince in triumph." Liu Sheng, who had been waiting for a long time in Liangzhou, stepped forward to greet him, bowed his fists and shouted loudly.

Behind him are the [-] soldiers left behind by Li Jing, as well as the common people who survived the war.

Looking at the figure on the horseback, the common people looked wildly and worshiped him like a god.

After Liu Sheng's words fell, the common people were hysterical and shouted together with five thousand soldiers: "Welcome His Highness the Crown Prince in triumph."

"Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince on his triumphant return."

The momentum was huge, one level was higher than the other level, shaking the night trembling.

Li Chengqian reined in his horse and stopped, his eyes swept across those fanatical faces, and he showed a smile.

He slowly raised his hand and pressed it down lightly. Under the reflection of the torch, he was seen by everyone.

The shouting stopped abruptly.

Li Chengqian said loudly: "This time I left the palace, I ran out secretly. When I left, I left a letter for my father. The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.

These are the words I left to my father.You are the people of the Tang Dynasty, and you have encountered great difficulties. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, this palace is duty-bound, and you should take the lead in resisting foreign enemies.

This is my responsibility, so you need not be grateful.It's Ben Gong who should say sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late. "

Yes, I am late.

If it had been crossed one day earlier, maybe Liangzhou would not have broken through.

If it had crossed half a month earlier, the Turks would not have entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian regretted secretly.

"boom……"

Five thunders struck the top, and the sky was thunderbolt.

Regardless of the many soldiers, or the many common people, or Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Liu Sheng and others, they all looked at Li Chengqian dully, with a flicker of emotion in their eyes.

His Royal Highness, you are apologizing to the people!

This sentence "Sorry, I'm late" contains too much.

Can……

Someone burst into tears and shouted: "His Royal Highness, what is wrong with you?"

"Your Highness, why do you blame yourself?"

"You are not sorry for us."

"We are grateful to you, without you, we would have died long ago."

"Your Highness, why do you say sorry?"

The sound of howling and crying resounded through the night.

Tears welled up in Li Chengqian's eyes.

This nation, this country.

Now that I'm here, I won't let you suffer any humiliation, not even a little bit!

Chapter 22 Waiting for your injury to heal, I will drink enough with you

Li Chengqian's eyes swept over the mournful faces of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and then he took a deep breath, and rode his horse and said, "Let's go into the city."

He didn't say anything more, the sentence "Sorry, I'm late" already contained everything.

The returning army entered Liangzhou, followed by the people who came out of the city to meet them, and finally the soldiers who stayed behind to defend the city.

After entering Liangzhou, Li Chengqian did not rest, but entered a mansion accompanied by Liu Sheng.

The entourage included Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong.

As soon as a group of five people entered the house, there was a strong smell of blood and herbs.

This house is the place where the seriously injured soldiers are settled.

In war, people are killed and others are wounded.

When Li Chengqian led his army to pursue the Turkic army fleeing like bereaved dogs, Liu Sheng led his people out of the city to clean up the battlefield.

Make up for the enemy army who is not yet dead, and bring the seriously injured Tang army back to the city.

As for burying the corpses, because the battle was not over yet, Liu Sheng didn't arrange anyone to do it just in case.

Therefore, when they returned, there were still corpses strewn all over the places where they fought in the daytime, and rivers of blood flowed.

The ground was stained red with blood, and the disgusting smell pervaded wantonly.That place is like Shura hell, breathtaking and frightening.

"See His Royal Highness..."

There were busy figures in the courtyard, and the moment they saw Li Chengqian, they hurriedly saluted.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Time is precious, and treating the wounded is the top priority. Tell the rest that you don't need to salute when you see me."

"Yes."

Li Chengqian's order was conveyed to each other, and several people walked towards the main hall of the house.

Liu Sheng sighed at the side: "The people who settle here are all seriously injured. Although they survived the battlefield by chance, they survived. But after some treatment, whether they can really survive depends on the destiny."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was thoughtful.

Seeing this, Li Jing thought that Li Chengqian didn't understand very well, so he sighed and explained: "Do your best and obey the destiny. It has always been like this in battle. Throughout the ages, how many soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but because they were seriously injured and could not be treated. , and was finally tortured to death by pain.”

Speaking of this matter, several people looked serious and their hearts were heavy.

Cheng Yaojin said: "Every time there is a war, at least [-]% of the soldiers die."

Li Chengqian nodded, he understood the meaning of Li Jing's words.

Ancient medical skills were backward, and the treatment of sword wounds was inappropriate.

Many soldiers survived the fierce battle, but due to improper wound treatment, they could not heal quickly, resulting in festering and tetanus.

Finally, die in pain.

However, this was once!

Li Chengqian didn't say much, and when he got close, he said softly: "Go in."

When several people entered the main hall, they saw seriously injured soldiers lying on the ground.

Some of these wounded soldiers had broken arms, some had broken legs, and some had a horrible wound cut by the blade, and their flesh and blood rolled.

The placement is a bit shabby, but there is no way to do it. The resources are limited, so we can only spread a layer of coarse cloth or other things on the ground.

Because of the pain, someone's face was hideous and distorted.

But they all gritted their teeth and didn't howl miserably, just let out a few suppressed muffled groans from time to time.

There are military Chinese doctors and local doctors who are too busy to treat the wounds of the soldiers.

The people who came spontaneously and the soldiers who knew a little about wound treatment were there to help.

Because of just now's order, Li Chengqian's entry didn't make them flustered, but after a reverent glance, they lowered their heads and went about their business.

Instead, the wounded soldier lying on the ground became agitated.

"His Royal Highness..."

"Refer to His Royal Highness for a humble position..."

The sober person wanted to stand up and salute, but because of the pain added to his body, he could only struggle in vain, which made the healer flustered.

Li Chengqian frowned, and shouted: "Let me lie down, and no one is allowed to move."

Li Chengqian's words were very convincing, and the wounded soldiers lay down obediently when they heard the words, then turned their heads hard, and stared at Li Chengqian with fanatical eyes.

"His Royal Highness has come to see us, haha...ahem..."

"His Royal Highness, I know my injuries. This time I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. But I don't regret it...Fighting for the country, protecting the compatriots, I died a worthy death..."

"Haha... 5000 people, defeated the 20 Turkic army and fled. I have never been so proud in my life, ahem..."

"Cough...His Royal Highness shot and killed two Turkic khans one after another. It is my honor to witness it with my own eyes..."

"If you want me to say, don't waste your energy on me. I can't live with this injury. Why don't you go and see other brothers, maybe they can be saved."

"His Royal Highness, I'm happy that you can come and see the little ones before they die..."

"What are you saving? Just cut me with a knife, and I will suffer less. In my next life, I will still be a Tang Dynasty man and a soldier."

"If there is a next life, I hope to be a soldier under the prince's command."

"His Royal Highness, I'm going to see Xiuniang and Erwa, I can't follow you anymore."

Li Chengqian was pacing in the main hall, while the wounded soldiers endured the pain, forced themselves to smile, and talked in a few words.

Their words made people weep and feel heavy.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chengqian suppressed the moisture in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Shut up for me."

The wounded soldiers obediently kept silent, staring at Li Chengqian with piercing eyes.

Li Chengqian chuckled, and said, "Want to die? It's not that simple. Without my consent, even Hades would not dare to accept you. Liu Sheng."

"The minister is here." Liu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward.

Li Chengqian said slowly: "Go find some spirits and needlework. The more the better."

Liu Sheng was stunned, and the rest of the people were also at a loss.

Li Jing thought for a while, then asked: "His Royal Highness, I dare to ask, what is the use of your needle and thread for spirits?"

"Haha..." A soldier with a broken left leg laughed and said, "His Royal Highness wants to drink a bowl of farewell wine with the younger ones. It is worth dying to be able to drink with the prince."

The rest of the wounded soldiers followed suit, and the atmosphere felt depressingly cheerful.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "If you want to drink, I will drink enough for you after your injuries are cured. Prefect Liu, go back quickly, their injuries cannot be delayed."

"The crown prince wants to heal their wounds?" Liu Sheng came to his senses, and quickly said, "I'm going now."

He didn't ask much, but left quickly.

Liu Sheng's words awakened everyone in the hall.

Therefore, Li Chengqian's body instantly focused on a puzzled look.

"Using spirits and needles to heal wounds?" A military doctor couldn't help but raised his head and asked in surprise, "What kind of method is this? Why have I never heard of it?"

Li Chengqian did not explain, but communicated with the heroic soul of the white-robed army with his mind.
