What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Arriving at the room where the wounded were resting, Gu Xi checked all seven of them and found that none of them had a fever.

In order to conceal her tracks, she prepared a medicine box for herself. At this moment, she took out a few boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs from the box, handed them to Qin Chuan, and told him how to take them.

Seeing that the old military doctor made some blood-replenishing porridge for the patients, Gu Xi felt that these soldiers had lost too much blood and that relying solely on food to replenish the blood would be too slow, so he took out a few boxes of blood-replenishing medicine from the space and pretended to take them out of the medicine box and gave them to him.

Then, he asked Qin Chuan to go to the village to see if there were any injured animals. Qin Chuan actually found a dying wild dog.

Gu Xi then gave on-the-spot instruction, anesthetized the wild dog, and sutured its wounds.

Qin Chuan studied very hard, and another old military doctor was jealous. Gu Xi waved at him:

"You can take a look at it too. It's not difficult. It just requires an accurate eye and steady hands."

People in ancient times paid great attention to family inheritance and would not easily teach their skills to outsiders.

Gu Xi's unselfish approach won the admiration of the two military doctors.

Finally, Gu Xi also gave each of them a set of tools and some surgical drugs, which should be enough to deal with some larger wounds.

After staying in Bei'an Village for half a day and seeing that the condition of the seven wounded soldiers was stable, everyone decided to set off back to the barracks.

On the way back, Liu Erdan felt very aggrieved.

Usually he was around Captain Qi, leading the horse and delivering food, waiting to be called, just like Captain Qi's personal soldier.

But today, his job and his position were taken away by the major general.

So much so that he didn't even have a chance to talk to Captain Qi on the way.

Chu Zhao had now dispelled his suspicion of Gu Xi, and he was as if he had discovered a new continent. He served Gu Xi all the way, coaxing her into giving him two sets of camouflage uniforms, and even pestered Gu Xi for a gun.

After all, he is a young man!

"Major General, I'm not hiding anything from you, but if you don't know how to use this weapon, it might cause trouble."

"Then teach me. Also, don't call me Major General from now on. Let's call each other brothers."

……

Gu Xi had been pestered by Chu Zhao for a long time, and she knew that she couldn't hide away from him, so she just took advantage of him.

"Brother Chu, if you want to learn how to shoot, please help me."

"Why should I help you? Your business is my business. Just tell me." Chu Zhao no longer had the authority of a major general. He patted his chest like a gangster.

"My 100 soldiers want to continue training in Niutou Mountain. I plan to teach them how to use a spear. It will be inconvenient for them to stay in the barracks. I wonder if you can convince the general?"

Going to Niutou Mountain before was a special case, and now Gu Xi was worried that the general would not agree.

Chu Zhao's eyes lit up:

"As long as you take me to practice shooting, I'll take care of it."

"You just said that what's mine is your business, and now you're negotiating conditions?" Gu Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

"Yes, your business is my business, and my business is your business."

Gu Xi was speechless.

The major general who was so cold and domineering in front of the soldiers now acted like a rogue.

When they returned to the military camp, it was almost dark. General Chu personally met Gu Xi and laughed from a distance and said:

"Qi boy, you are really capable! Five hundred Turkish cavalry were completely wiped out, and our losses were almost negligible. You have made a great contribution. This general will remember your merit. This matter will also be reported to the court and you will be rewarded."

Gu Xi quickly thanked him, and at the same time, he did not forget the rules of the workplace, and praised his leader's son:

"I would like to thank you, General. The main credit for this should go to the Major General. If the Major General had not predicted the direction of the Turkic cavalry in advance and led the troops and commanded them properly, this battle would not have been so smooth."

Chu Zhao glanced sideways, why didn’t he see Qi Dasheng praising him in private?

Who wouldn’t like such a capable and sensible subordinate?

Chu Shiting laughed heartily again, and even felt more comfortable with this rebellious son. Then he said:

"Qi boy, this general wants to promote you to deputy general and let you be in charge of the training of the Northwest Army. What do you think?"

The speed of promotion is like a rocket.

Gu Xi quickly refused:

"General, this is absolutely not possible. I am new to the military camp and have no experience in leading troops. I can barely train a hundred men, but I dare not take the risk of 50,000 troops."

Training a hundred people would almost drain her entire family's assets, and with fifty thousand people, she was powerless.

Chu Shiting pondered for a moment and felt that it was a bit risky. After all, Qi Dasheng had only been in the army for more than half a month. It would be better to observe him for a while.

"Okay, I won't force you, but you are now a captain of a thousand men. It won't do to lead only a hundred men. You must lead at least a thousand men."

Gu Xi cried, she couldn't even support a thousand people! !

The government owes the army money. She wants to raid the treasury. What should she do? Waiting online, urgent!

Seeing Gu Xi frowning, Chu Shiting coughed lightly and added awkwardly:

"Of course, we cannot treat you unfairly regarding the food and salary. This general has received a document from the Ministry of Revenue that the food and salary will be delivered soon, and you will be compensated at that time."

It's not a good idea to let subordinates pay for the soldiers themselves.

Chu Zhao said:

"Father, why don't we give this cavalry unit to Captain Qi and let him continue to train them in the mountains. I believe it won't be long before they become an elite force."

Chu Shiting glared at him:

"You are quite good at choosing. There are only 3,000 cavalrymen in the army. But why do we have to go to the mountains to train?"

Chu Zhao pointed at the sand table and said:

"Now that the Turkic army is eyeing us covetously, our camp and Niutou Mountain can form an angle. If there is a war, we can still take care of each other. Moreover, hiding in the mountains, as a surprise force, we may be able to launch a surprise attack one day."

Chu Shiting thought about it seriously for a while and felt that his son’s idea was a good one.

The south side of Niutou Mountain is full of cliffs and the terrain is dangerous, so he never worried that the enemy would attack the county from there.

However, if the enemy secretly occupied Niutou Mountain and used it as a stronghold, which would be easy to defend but difficult to attack, the Northwest Army would be in a passive position.

It would be better to leave a group of people to guard there.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, as you say."

Chu Zhao was delighted and asked his father for instructions:

"My son also wants to go to the mountains and learn the art of training from Captain Qi."

Chu Shiting naturally agreed to this. He was a little worried that Qi Dasheng had taken the cavalry out of the jurisdiction of the military camp. If Chu Zhao went there, it would just solve this problem.

What's more, Qi Dasheng is not an ordinary person, and it is a good thing for his son to learn from him.

After finishing the business, Gu Xi said:

"General, I would like to ask for leave to go back to the city to see my aunt. Please allow me to do so."

The main reason is that their store needs to be restocked, and she has a large amount of goods stored in her space.

Chu Shiting nodded, "Okay. It just so happens that some villagers from Bei'an Village and Caogou Village are preparing to move to the county town. Zhao'er, you and Captain Qi will escort them back tomorrow and visit your mother at the same time."
