Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

When Sun Qian was in Xuzhou, he was recommended by the famous scholar Zheng Xuan to serve as an official. Although he was a scholar, he had followed Liu Bei around the country over the years and had witnessed many battles. The decision he made when Guanmen was breached was the correct one.

Although the Shu army was small in number, they were a fresh force compared to the Tang army which had fought hard for a whole day. The Guancheng where Zhang Fei was stationed was not far away. When he discovered the Tang army inside the Guancheng yesterday, he sent someone to inform Zhang Fei. According to the time, his reinforcements would arrive tomorrow afternoon.

Sun Qian had a good idea, but he was too anxious and forgot to consider the camp stationed on Dingjun Mountain.

After the Tang army entered the pass, they did not fight with Sun Qian's men on the plain. Instead, part of them stationed in the camp, and part of them occupied the southern wall of the pass. They used these two places as fulcrums, relying on each other, waiting for your attack.

The pontoon bridge between the two walls has been cut off, and a series of defensive projects outside the pass have been burned down by several fires. What Zhang Mo wants to destroy now is Sun Qian's team.

There is no city between the Mian River and Dingjun Mountain. The nearest city is Mian County, which is on the north bank of the Mian River and about ten kilometers away from Yangping Pass. If Sun Qian wants to capture the camp, he cannot enter Mian County and can only cross the river and attack nakedly.

One had a camp as a support, and the other was completely exposed in front of the camp without any protection. The geographical advantage of the Tang army successfully offset the disadvantage in troop strength. The two sides fought fiercely until dawn. Sun Qian's troops suffered heavy casualties and began to flee in all directions. However, the Tang army, which had fought fiercely for a day and a night, was able to come out of the camp to pursue them!

The sun that set in the west yesterday rose again in the east, and the sunlight once again illuminated the earth. Sun Qian stood on the bank of the Mian River. All he could see were broken corpses and debris, stretching from outside the Zouma Valley to the foot of the wall. There were corpses of yesterday's Tang army, but more were corpses of the Shu army left behind from the attack on the camp last night.

Once Yangping Pass was breached, everything would be over. He could already foresee that once Zhang Fei's reinforcements arrived, Ma Chao and Yan Xing stationed at Baishui Pass would certainly take the opportunity to seize the pass, and the lord's troops would be blocked outside Shu, unable to return home!

Can Zhang Fei’s reinforcements capture this camp?

The answer is obviously no!

Sun Qian covered his face and cried bitterly. He was wrong. If he had not been in a hurry to break into the stronghold last night, but went to the south to seize the city gate and wait for General Zhang to arrive, the two sides might have had a chance of winning if they had joined forces.

I still remember what the military advisor said when he asked me to garrison Yangping Pass. Zhang Yide is impulsive and irritable, and cannot stand provocation. If provoked, he might lead his troops out of the pass to fight. You stay here and just remember one thing, no matter what happens outside, you don't have to pay any attention to it!

However, he did not follow the military advisor's instructions. He did not send anyone out of the pass, but instead sent people out of the pass to capture Liu Xiong's camp, allowing the Tang army to break through the front line of defense.

His mistake was that as the commander of an army, he actually felt fear when his side still had the advantage, which affected the morale of the soldiers on the city wall and allowed the enemy to find a flaw.

He failed to live up to the high hopes of his lord and military advisor, and failed the soldiers who had entrusted their lives to him. Sun Qian bent down, picked up a ring-handled knife in front of him, put it across his neck, and committed suicide on the bank of the Mian River. The remaining dozen or so soldiers around him also committed suicide.

Although the Tang army won, the situation was not very good. The soldiers could hardly lift their swords, and there were many wounded in the camp. There were not enough military doctors, so Zhang Mo, the princess who had studied medicine, had to go in person to help treat the wounded.

However, Yangping Pass was finally opened. The logistics team from Wudu County could continuously transport supplies in and occupy the city walls. The civilians who had served in the military could also defend the city with their weapons. Zhang Fei's troops could not enter the pass at all. He was sandwiched between Yangping Pass and Baishui Pass and was basically useless!

"Send a message to Ma Chao and Yan Xing: while Zhang Fei is out of the pass, quickly seize the city and don't let him go back."

In the camp, Zhang Mo was stopping a soldier's bleeding while giving orders, "Also, let Zilong rest for half a day. In the afternoon, take two thousand light cavalry to Shiquan County to support Ziyi. Try to get rid of the Shu army over there and come to join forces."

"Send the laborers out to cut wood, continue expanding the camp along the foothills of Dingjun Mountain, and quickly build protective facilities in front of the camp!"

Orders were conveyed from the wounded camp one after another. The soldiers were trying to buy time to rest, and the laborers were trying to buy time to set up camp.

"Princess, General Zhang is dying..."

At this moment, a soldier rushed in and reported, "General Zhang has lost too much blood and is unconscious..."

"How could that be?" Zhang Mo's expression changed slightly when she heard this. "Isn't it just a superficial wound?"

The soldier replied, "The general was accidentally shot by an arrow last night. He pulled it out himself and continued fighting without bandaging it. Now he is no longer able to fight..."

Before the soldier could finish his words, Zhang Mo had already stood up and hurried towards Zhang He's tent.

When we broke into the stronghold yesterday, Zhang He was always at the forefront. Even after several rounds of soldiers were replaced, he always insisted on standing at the forefront. It was his spirit of never retreating and bravely moving forward that supported the morale of the entire army and supported the soldiers to charge forward wave after wave. Yangping Pass was able to be breached so quickly and smoothly, and he made an indelible contribution!

Several people quickly arrived at Zhang He's tent. After listening to the military doctor's report on Zhang He's injuries, Zhang Mo asked, "Why didn't you give him a blood transfusion?"

The military doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "The general is of noble status. We dare not act on his own."

The blood transfusion method has been experimented with for several years. Although the success rate is extremely high, there are also some cases of death. Zhang He is the commander-in-chief of an army. If he dies from the blood transfusion, they cannot bear the responsibility. Moreover, people of this era attach great importance to blood. Although they are doctors, they are extremely opposed to this treatment method that disrupts blood before learning the blood transfusion method. They don't know what Zhang He himself thinks, so how dare they give him a blood transfusion casually?

"Have you done the blood test?" Zhang Mo asked.

Zhang He was already in shock from blood loss, and if he didn't receive a blood transfusion, he would basically be waiting to die.

"It's been tested. Two soldiers have the same blood type as the general. However... they don't dare to confuse the general's blood with their own..."

Zhang Mo was speechless after hearing this. When she thought of the blood transfusion method, she had not considered the fact that the ancients attached great importance to blood inheritance. Therefore, although this technology was very mature, it was not widely used in practice. There had been several people who would rather die than accept other people's blood. There was even an even more bizarre one who committed suicide after being saved. There were also people like these two soldiers who did not dare to confuse the noble blood of their superiors with their own lowly blood.

Zhang Mo didn't know what Zhang He thought about blood transfusion. What she knew was that this man was a gentleman and liked to associate with intellectuals. Even in the military camp, he liked to recite poems and compose essays with Confucian scholars. He also paid great attention to etiquette and probably attached great importance to hierarchy. But no matter what, she had to save the person first.

"Test me, if possible, give him my blood."

As soon as Zhang Mo said this, the expressions of the people around her changed. Xu You hurriedly advised, "Princess, this is absolutely not allowed!"

"Why not?" Zhang Mo glanced at Xu You. "You don't know, if a person's blood is too viscous, they are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, that is, headaches and heart diseases. So donating blood appropriately can not only reduce the risk of such diseases, but also enhance hematopoietic function and reduce the burden on internal organs."

"Are there really so many benefits?" Xu You asked half-believingly and half-doubtingly.

"Why would I lie to you? It's really like this!"

Zhang Mo picked up the silver needle beside her and was about to prick her finger. Xu You quickly snatched it away and said, "The princess is a noble person. Even so, you can't give your blood to him. Test mine instead!"

Of course, Zhang Mo did not intend to donate her blood to Zhang He. This was just to win people's hearts.

In this ancient time when bloodline is valued, no matter how different her thoughts are, she still has to follow some rules. Moreover, she is now at the top of the pyramid. If she donates blood to others casually, who knows if someone will make a fuss about it in the future?

Xu You pricked a small wound on his hand and dripped blood into a bowl filled with water beside him. The military doctor then gave Zhang He a drop of blood, and the two people's blood blended perfectly together. The military doctor then asked him to lie next to Zhang He, first disinfected the blood transfusion site with alcohol, and took out a goose feather tube prepared in advance. There were needles on both sides of the tube, which were inserted into Xu You's artery and Zhang He's vein respectively.

Xu You watched his blood trickle into Zhang He's body, muttering, "Zhang Junyi, oh Zhang Junyi, from now on we are blood relatives. I saved your life, so when you wake up, it's not too much to call me brother, right?"

After about 400 milliliters of fluid had been transfused, the military doctor pulled out the needle, pressed the needle tip with cotton for both men, and took Zhang He's pulse. Although he was still suffering from lack of blood, he had passed the critical period.
