Chapter 71 The Importance of Medicinal Materials

"Mingzhi!"

Yang Zhengshan called Yang Mingzhi again.

"Send these grain carts to the camp of Zhenbiao Zuoying later, and ask if Zhao Yuan has returned!"

The camp of Zhenbiao Zuoying is just south of Linguan Fort, only a dozen miles away from Linguan Fort. Since he does not intend to keep all these cattle, mules and grain, it is natural to send them away as soon as possible.

However, there should not be many soldiers in the camp of Zhenbiao Zuoying now. Although Zhou Lan has returned, Zhenbiao Zuoying has not returned to the camp yet. They are also responsible for supporting Zhang Shouwang and blocking the pursuing Hu cavalry.

Yang Zhengshan is still a little worried because he does not know the situation outside the pass.

Although this battle has been lost, he hopes that Zhenbiao Wuying will not suffer too much loss.

As long as the loss of Zhenbiao Wuying is not big, even if the main force of Chongshan Town is still there, the Donghai Hu people should not be too arrogant.

Once Zhenbiao Wuying suffers heavy losses, the entire Chongshan Town will be in danger.

Under Yang Zhengshan's arrangement, the crowded training ground was cleared before noon.

However, Zhao Yuan still did not come back. Zhao Desheng had taken people out of the pass to inquire about Zhao Yuan's news. However, the situation outside the pass was extremely chaotic at this time. The remnants of the defeated soldiers were fleeing everywhere, the Hu cavalry was constantly chasing, and the soldiers who blocked the Hu cavalry. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find Zhao Yuan in this situation.

In the following days, Chongshan Pass City still seemed extremely chaotic. The remnants of the defeated soldiers who escaped brought a lot of false news to the entire pass city.

Some people said that Zhang Shouwang had been captured alive by the Hu cavalry.

Some people said that Zhang Yude had surrendered to the Hu tribe.

Others said that the Western Army was completely destroyed and the Hu cavalry would soon attack the pass city.

Rumors spread everywhere, causing panic.

Many people in the pass city fled the pass city with their families.

The number of people who fled was more than when the Hu army was at the gate of the city.

When the Hu army gathered at Chongshan Pass, the people were more confused and bewildered, because they had not experienced a large-scale war for 20 years, and they did not think that the Hu people could break through the pass.

But now the army has returned in defeat, which instantly destroyed the people's confidence in Chongshan Town and made them worried.

Many people think that Chongshan Pass may be at risk of being breached, so many people want to escape from Chongshan Pass.

However, Yang Zhengshan thinks that such worries are premature.

Although Chongshan Town was defeated this time, Darong's national strength has not declined to the point where it cannot defend Chongshan Pass.

The Donghai Hu tribe looks very cruel, but they are just a small tribe after all, with a population of only 200,000 to 300,000. It is okay for them to harass the border, but it is too difficult for them to attack Chongshan Pass, a strong city.

As long as the Donghai Hu tribe is not stupid, they will not risk heavy losses to attack Chongshan Pass.

And as far as he knew, Zhang Shouwang was not captured alive, nor was he completely defeated. Zhang Shouwang was gathering the remaining soldiers outside the pass to stabilize the situation.

Zhou Lan had already joined Zhang Shouwang and was cooperating with Zhang Shouwang to block the Hu cavalry.

The combat power of the left and right battalions of Zhenbiao was still very strong.

With the same strength and direct confrontation, the five battalions of Zhenbiao had the strength to completely defeat the Hu cavalry.

On the fourth day after Yang Zhengshan returned to Linguanbao, Zhao Yuan also returned to the pass with the last wave of defeated soldiers.

The camp was broken, and Zhao Yuan did not flee the camp with the defeated soldiers, but went to the main camp and evacuated with the three battalions of Zhenbiao.

However, they were attacked by the Hu cavalry on the way to evacuation, and Zhao Yuan was unfortunately injured.

He was able to come back so quickly because Zhao Desheng took the risk to find the retreating large army and carried him back.

In the camp of Zhenbiao Zuoying, Yang Zhengshan looked at Zhao Yuan who was lying unconscious on the bed, "Did the doctor say when he can wake up?"

Beside him, Zhao Desheng said with a tired face: "The wound of the master is infected and has been feverish for three days. The doctor said that if he can survive for another two days, he should be able to wake up."

At this time, Zhao Yuan's chest had been bandaged. Yang Zhengshan had just seen that the wound on Zhao Yuan's body was a knife wound, from the left shoulder to the lower abdomen, well, it was very similar to the wound on his body.

But Zhao Yuan was very unfortunate that his wound became inflamed. In this society with backward medical level, wound inflammation is fatal. Whether Zhao Yuan can survive depends on whether he is strong enough.

Yang Zhengshan knows some drugs for treating inflammation, such as sulfa, penicillin, erythromycin, etc., but he can't make them.

And Lingquan water has no effect on treating inflammation. Lingquan water can only nourish the body and improve physical fitness.

Based on the idea of ​​benefit without harm, Yang Zhengshan still fed Zhao Yuan a bowl of Lingquan water.

"Tell me when he wakes up!"

Yang Zhengshan told Zhao Desheng and left. There was no point for him to stay here. He was not a doctor.

In Linguan Fort, it was late at night.

Yang Zhengshan entered the Lingquan space again.

In five days, all the vegetable seeds he planted sprouted.

Especially the vegetables watered with Lingquan, which actually grew more than an inch high.

"Lingquan water helps the growth of plants, and it seems to have great benefits for the growth of plants!"

Yang Zhengshan stroked the gourd seedlings that had grown, with a gleam of joy in his eyes. Then he looked at the vegetables watered with river water, and there were also tender buds emerging from the soil.

"Even without Lingquan water, they grow faster than outside!"

"If that's the case, then this piece of land has a lot to offer!"

Yang Zhengshan thought secretly.

Growing vegetables is not enough to make you rich, but what about growing medicinal herbs?

Although the spiritual spring space is not good for the growth of plants and cannot produce precious medicines in batches, even if it is ordinary medicinal herbs, it can bring considerable benefits to Yang Zhengshan.

Martial arts practice requires a lot of medicinal herbs to assist. Martial artists in the body-building realm can use medicinal baths to strengthen their physique, and acquired martial artists can swallow pills to improve their energy.

Yang Zhengshan did not use medicinal herbs to assist him in the past, one because he had spiritual spring water, and the other because he had no money.

Poor in literature and rich in martial arts are not just talk.

The Yang family has a martial arts heritage, so why can't they cultivate martial artists?

It's because they are poor.

For those martial arts families and noble families, every one of their children can become a martial artist. Maybe their achievements will not be too high, but it is still easy to become a martial artist.

Because they have silver, they can buy various medicinal herbs to assist in practice.

However, if you want to grow medicinal herbs, you still need to prepare well. Yang Zhengshan does not have medicinal seeds now, but he does not understand the medicinal industry and does not know which medicinal herbs have a higher cost-effectiveness.

…

August 9.

Zhang Shouwang finally returned to Chongshan Pass with the five battalions of Zhenbiao.

After the camp was broken, the army of Chongshan Town East Road suffered heavy losses, but the five battalions of Zhenbiao did not suffer too much loss. However, in the past ten days, Zhang Shouwang fought with the Hu cavalry several times when he gathered the fleeing remnants outside the pass.

Both sides had their wins and losses. They caused considerable losses to the Donghai Hu people, but the five battalions of Zhenbiao also suffered heavy casualties.

Zhang Shouwang came back, and Zhou Lan naturally came back with him.

After getting the news, Yang Zhengshan came to the camp of Zhenbiao Zuoying with ease.

Zhao Yuan had woken up. Although he saved his life, his physical condition was not very good. It was estimated that he would need to rest for two months.

When he saw Zhou Lan again, Yang Zhengshan found that Zhou Lan's eyes were filled with depression, and he knew where this depression came from.

When he went out of the pass again, the left camp of Zhenbiao suffered heavy losses.

Less than 60% of the more than 3,000 cavalry returned.

It was not just the left camp of Zhenbiao, but also the right camp of Zhenbiao. The cavalry and the left and right camps of Zhenbiao always acted together.

This time, in order to ensure the safe evacuation of Zhang Shouwang, they fought a bloody battle with the Hu cavalry. The left and right camps of Zhenbiao suffered heavy casualties, but their results were also remarkable.

It is said that the number of Hu cavalry they defeated was as high as 8,000, which was already a great victory.

It was just that the left camp of Zhenbiao was seriously injured this time, and even if they won a great victory, it could not make up for the price they paid in this battle.
