Usurpation of Mongolia: My father-in-law is Genghis Khan

Chapter 39 Successfully promoted to the spokesperson of Changshengtian

The night is like a weave of clouds, and the moonlight is like silver, gently falling on the boundless grassland.

It was very quiet in the wounded camp.

By now, those with minor injuries had already left the infirmary, while those with serious injuries had already passed away.

Only a few warriors with infections and high fevers remained here, too weak to even make painful noises. Otherwise, Tongtian Wu Kuo Kuochu would not have concluded that these people would soon be recruited by Changsheng Tianen.

"The Khan has made arrangements to ensure the warriors pass away peacefully. We've specially arranged the best tents for them," Saiyin Hurile, the captain in charge of the wounded camp, explained to Zhao Shuo in detail. "Furthermore, only five warriors will be accommodated in each tent."

Mongolian warriors were extremely hardworking and according to the rules, when going to war, ten warriors would live in a small tent.

Now Saiyin Hurile has arranged for five people to live in a big tent, which is indeed a good treatment.

"Take me to see it." Zhao Shuo ordered.

"Yes."

As he spoke, Zhao Shuo led his men into a tent.

"Has Erdun, is that you?" Zhao Shuo immediately saw a familiar face.

He was an ordinary soldier under his command, a man of some courage, a leader of ten households, and had made many military achievements. Geerile had originally mentioned to Zhao Shuo that if he made a few more great achievements, he would promote him to the position of leader of a hundred households.

When Zhao Shuo pursued Tokhto'a's three sons for thousands of miles, Geril led a thousand soldiers to escort the Merkit captives back to Temujin. Naturally, these thousand soldiers also participated in the siege. However, it was unexpected that Hasi Erdun would suffer such a serious injury before he even became a centurion.

"Prince consort...Prince consort!"

When Hasi'erdun heard the voice, he opened his eyes and was surprised and happy to see that it was Zhao Shuo. He even tried to struggle to greet Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo quickly sat down beside him and said gently, "Has Erdun, how is your injury? Are you feeling better?"

"Tongtian Wu has already said that people like us will... soon be recruited by Changsheng Tianen."

Haserdun had a high fever and was very weak. He was out of breath after speaking a few words.

He took a few deep breaths before continuing, "Has Erdun served under the Great Khan and your Majesty, and died on the battlefield. I have no regrets. Now, I only ask one thing of you: find a good-tempered warrior for my wife Menghesar to remarry with her two children. Please do not let her marry Ulitai again!"

Geerle explained: "Ulitai was Hasi'erdun's cousin. According to custom, when Hasi'erdun died, she would remarry Ulitai. But Ulitai had a bad temper and loved to drink. He beat his wife to death while she was pregnant."

Hasi Erdun continued, "My wife is weak, and our two children are only three and five years old. If they were to fall into the hands of Wulitai, I don't know how much suffering they would have to endure. If the prince consort could show mercy, even if I die, I will remember your great kindness in the underworld!"

"What are you talking about? Can't you say something auspicious?" Zhao Shuo held Hasi'erdun's shoulders, stared into his eyes, and said, "Hasi'erdun, listen! I don't want you to die! I want you to live! Take care of your wife and two sons!"

"But...but...Tongtian Wu said..."

"What's the use of him?"

Zhao Shuo stood up, his eyes calm and dignified, and shouted, "Wounded warriors, you are blessed! Last night, Changshengtian personally passed on a decree to the Khan, stating that more soldiers will remain in the mortal world. And I also received Changshengtian's decree and obtained a way to heal these soldiers!"

"So...we are saved?"

"Really? Changshengtian issued an edict to the Khan and the Prince Consort? Wasn't it passed down to Tongtian Wu?"

"It would be great if the Prince Consort's method really works!"

……

The other four wounded soldiers woke up when they heard the sound and whispered to each other.

On the one hand, they were very happy, but on the other hand, they were skeptical - didn't Tongtian Wu say that only he could get the will of Changshengtian?
But if you think about it carefully, it's not completely impossible.

The Khan is the darling of heaven and the favorite of Eternal Heaven. What's so strange about him receiving the will of Eternal Heaven personally?

Zhao Shuo was not only the greatest Bater of Mongolia, but he also invented novel things such as fine wine and white salt. Who could say that this was not because of his special favor from Changshengtian?
Ultimately, whether the intention of Changshengtian is true or false depends on its efficacy.

"Just tell me what to do, Your Majesty. Even if there are any mistakes, it's just my bad luck." Has'erdun said impatiently.

"Then bear with it for a while."

Zhao Shuo ordered Saiyinhurile to light a fire, find a wooden stick, let Haserdun bite it with his teeth, and then opened his wound.

Has'erdun was hit by an arrow in the leg.

In later generations, this kind of injury only needs simple treatment.

However, in this age without antibiotics, it is easy to get infected, and once infected, survival depends entirely on luck.

Obviously, Has'erdun was unlucky. Although the arrow had been pulled out, it had become infected. A large part of the wound had rotted away, emitting a foul stench.

Zhao Shuo took out a dagger and roasted it over the fire.

Then he used strong liquor to disinfect the area around the wound, and then used a dagger to cut off the rotten flesh on Haserdun's leg.

Finally, disinfect the wound with high-proof alcohol and suture it with catgut.

Hasi'erdun was a real man. He bit his teeth until they bled and was sweating all over in pain, but he still didn't say a word.

"Take these again."

Haserdun took some aspirin powder and then allicin, and the treatment was over.

The ten Xixia doctors watched Zhao Shuo's operation without blinking.

Their medical skills are actually only average.

Come to think of it, if he had excellent medical skills, why would he still be living in a small border town in Western Xia?

They had been captured by the grassland people this time, and they had been terrified. They had never expected to see such a bizarre medical skill. If it really worked, this capture could be considered a blessing in disguise.

The other wounded soldiers naturally also watched Zhao Shuo's operations carefully.

Although I don't know what the effect will be, seeing Zhao Shuo doing it so methodically, I feel a strong hope in my heart.

"Prince Consort, save me!"

As soon as Zhao Shuo finished his announcement, a wounded soldier named Aotegen couldn't wait to speak.

Aotegen was Temujin's personal guard. According to the rules, as long as Temujin did not go to the battlefield in person, his personal guards did not need to go to the battlefield.

However, Aotegen is 23 years old this year, which is the age when he is eager to achieve success.

Seeing that the Mongols had been besieging Ligiz City for a long time but failed, he volunteered to join the siege.

Unexpectedly, he failed to achieve the credit of breaking the city, but was seriously injured.

Aotegen was originally open-minded.

Didn't the grassland warriors rely on their scimitars and bows and arrows to gain their own glory?
If you die on the battlefield, you are dead. Does that mean you can only kill others but not allow others to kill you?

I have poor martial arts skills and bad luck, but I can't blame others, and there is nothing to regret.

However, after Tongtian Wu announced that they would soon return to Changshengtian's embrace, a feeling of unwillingness quickly surged into his heart.

"Brother Aotegen, I'll wait for you to come back and propose marriage!"

Before he went to the battle, a girl named Yirunahan with two cute freckles on her face carefully arranged his Mongolian robe and gave him serious instructions.

What a wonderful Irunahan!

The closer he got to death, the more Aotegen missed Irunahan.

Aotegen didn't want to die even more. He wanted to marry Irunahan and have a bunch of children with her!
"Okay, I'll take care of it for you right away." Zhao Shuo agreed. In short, Zhao Shuo treated Ao Tegen's injuries again.

After that, Zhao Shuo didn't have to do anything anymore. The ten Xixia doctors quickly took over Zhao Shuo's job.

Of course, it is impossible for them to hide their actions from Tongtian Wu Kuokuochu.

A witch doctor in the wounded camp secretly reported the news to Tongtian Wu.

"It's that damn Zhao Shuo again!"

Kuo Kuo slammed the table in anger.

He was still dissatisfied with Zhao Shuo for having previously snatched away most of the Zhierjin people from their family.

However, his dissatisfaction with Zhao Shuo did not start from that incident: Zhao Shuo seemed to have always looked down on him, the wizard.

Others, even Hasar said to Tongtian Wu, "Others are afraid of you, but I am not," but in fact they were quite wary of him in their eyes. They were afraid of his magical witchcraft, and they were also afraid that he would not heal them wholeheartedly if they were injured one day.

Although Zhao Shuo showed respect to him on the surface, he could feel that Zhao Shuo looked down on his pretense.

This kind of intuition is Kuo Kuochu's specialty and it will never be wrong.

Otherwise, how could he make almost all Mongolians believe that he was a wizard who could communicate directly with the Eternal Heaven?
Kokochu didn't know that he had been reported by his nephew Bobaer.

But it can also be imagined that Temujin and Zhao Shuo did this to undermine his prestige and shake his position as the "spokesperson of Changshengtian".

"How to do?"

Kuokuochu thought with a gloomy face.

After thinking for a long time, Kuo Kuochu decided to ignore it.

It was a simple logic. How could Zhao Shuo possibly possess such advanced medical skills? Who taught him?

Tongtian Wu guessed that Zhao Shuo was deceived by a doctor who was captured from the Western Xia and thought that the doctor had some magical way to save the wounded soldiers.

"Zhao Shuo has lost his mind! What real skills can a doctor from the Western Xia border have? I want to see how you explain this to the wounded soldiers and Temujin tomorrow!"

The reason why Kuokuchu made this decision was because he felt that as long as Zhao Shuo failed this time, it would further prove that he was the true spokesperson of Changshengtian.

No matter how brave, powerful, or inventive you, Zhao Shuo, you do not have the ability to communicate with Changshengtian.

Only I, the all-knowing wizard, know who Changshengtian wants to take away and who he wants to keep.

The reason why Kuo Kuo Chu dared to be so arrogant was because he listened to the report given to him by the witch doctor.

Listen, how did Zhao Shuo treat it?
Cut off the rotten flesh with a dagger and then sew it up with sheep intestines?
Oh, if he could save the wounded, he wouldn’t have to be a wizard!
Kuokuo fell into a deep sleep and had even thought about the words he would use to criticize Zhao Shuo in public tomorrow.

……

The next morning.

"This... this is..."

As soon as the sun rose halfway out of the sky, Haserdun woke up from his deep sleep.

Although the wound on my left leg was still burning with pain, other parts of my body felt the most relaxed since I was injured.

He even felt a strong sense of hunger and thirst. You know, he had no appetite in the past two days and could only drink a little yogurt.

Is he truly healed, or is this just a passing flash of life?

Hasi Erdun was anxious and shouted, "Come... someone come!"

"Has'erdun, what do you want?"

This tent was filled with wounded soldiers of some status. Saiyin Hurile, the captain in charge of the wounded camp, lived in the adjacent tent at night.

As a centurion, Saiyin Hurile was a man of some wisdom. He had already realized that the small battalion of wounded soldiers had been caught up in the storm.

If he wasn't careful, he might die without even knowing how he died. So he was always very alert.

Hearing the sound, Saiyin Hurile quickly got up and walked into Haserdun's tent.

"Has Erdun, are you feeling unwell?" Saiyin Hurile asked with concern.

"I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I'm feeling pretty good." Hasi'erdun felt that his breathing had become much stronger. He took Saiyin Hurile's hand and said, "Please feel my head. Am I running a fever now?"

"Ah! The fever is gone! Saiyinhurile, you really came back from the gates of hell!" Saiyinhurile was surprised and happy.

Saiyin Hurile was even more delighted and said, "Great! I'm hungry, Saiyin Hurile, I want to eat mutton!"

Generally, Mongolian soldiers were not eligible for mutton as military rations, but it was still available in the wounded camp.
"Mutton? I want to eat mutton too!" Aotegen was awakened by their voices. He felt relaxed all over, and his hunger was relieved, but his appetite was opened.

"I want to eat fat lamb intestines!" another wounded soldier shouted.

Well, after Zhao Shuo's treatment last night, three of the five injured people in this tent are out of danger.

"All of them! All of them! I will arrange it right away! But we have to congratulate the Khan and the prince consort first!" Saiyin Hurile said.

"Yes, thank you for the blessing of the Eternal Heaven, and thank you for the kindness of the Khan and the Prince Consort!"

……

Temujin was well prepared.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at the wounded camp with Zhao Shuo and dozens of Mongolian nobles.

After a careful inspection, it was discovered that out of the 82 warriors, more than 42 had shown significant improvement. In other words, Zhao Shuo's magical medicine was only about half effective.

"So, about half of the warriors who were to go to Changshengtian in the future can stay?" Temujin said happily.

Mu Huali said, "It should be more than that. It's only been one night. If they continue to take the magical medicine given by Changshengtian, some of the warriors should be able to recover."

Pfft!
Hu Nan suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The Eternal Heaven has blessed the Khan with a miraculous medicine, which has saved more than half of the injured warriors. This is truly a blessing for the Khan! It is a blessing for our Mongolia! I, your humble servant, congratulate the Khan and our Mongolia!"

"Congratulations to the Khan, congratulations to Mongolia!"

The other Mongolian nobles also congratulated him.

Temujin said, "Also, for Ashu's contribution, I will convey the Khan's order to reward Ashu with 500 top-quality black horses and 30 Xixia beauties!"

"Thank you, Father Khan!" Zhao Shuo expressed his gratitude.

Temujin continued, "Spread this news throughout the army! Today, the entire army will celebrate with plenty of mutton and kumis to thank Eternal Heaven for its kindness!"

"According to the order!"

Temujin's order was soon carried out.

"Long live! Long live Changshengtian!"

"May the prince consort live a long and healthy life!"

"My Mongolia, blessed by the Eternal Heaven, has unified the grasslands and is invincible!"
