Chapter 19

: A Tooth for Teeth (")

"Rolin, are all the wounded soldiers here?" Chen Kefu couldn't help but say a little strange when he saw that there were many soldiers recovering from the clinic, although they were all slightly injured or injured without injuries.

"Sir, these are just minor injuries. All the seriously injured are kept in another clinic, and the best doctors in Xincheng are there." Luo Lin replied hurriedly.

Chen Kefu nodded, "Then let's go there and visit them right now."

When the group arrived at another clinic on the same street, they found that this place was completely different from the one just now. In the clinic just now, Zhang Ergou and the others were still in the mood to brag and chat, but as soon as they entered here, they could only hear the cry from time to time in their ears. The painful moans made Chen Kefu's mood fall to the bottom.

There were about twenty wounded soldiers parked in the same empty hall, each of whom was lying on the bed board, with hay cloth on it, and hurriedly looked around at the wounded soldiers in the hall. Some had broken hands, some had few feet, some had tight wraps on their heads, and some even had broken stomachs...

A soldier who was about twenty years old like him was screaming. His head was covered with gauze, and the blood oozed from the gauze. Chen Kefu saw at a glance that the young soldier's eyes were gone. Because there was no anesthetic, the soldier who had simply treated the wound was screaming in pain.

Chen Kefu squatted in front of him, holding his hand and comforted softly, "Your wound doctor has already treated you. Although it still hurts very much now, you just need to endure it a little more than a few days and it will be fine."

The soldier may have been infected and had a fever. He didn't know that the general in the army was talking to him. He just groaned and said in a crying voice, "Will I not see it in the future? Will I become a useless person in the future? I have parents and brothers in my family, and I haven't gotten married yet..."

The crying made many people feel sad. Chen Kefu clenched his fists tightly. Life in troubled times is like grass. The lives of soldiers in troubled times are even more valuable. It is not rare to have tens of thousands of casualties in a battle. But for a wounded soldier, perhaps his life will be over like this, just like this young soldier. He is still so young, he has not married yet, but he has become blind, and may even die in a foreign land due to wound infection.

"Don't worry, you won't have any trouble. Although you have lost one eye, you are lucky. Although you are disabled, you are from my Pojun Camp. I promised you before coming that we will treat everyone kindly to everyone in my Pojun Camp, including his family. Your family, our Pojun Camp will help you take care of you. If you are worried that you can't marry a beautiful wife without eyes, this matter will be with me. I will definitely find a beautiful wife, the most beautiful wife." Chen Ke said to the soldier over and over again, but the soldier was already burnt and could not hear what he said.

"Sir, this guy doesn't live today and is beyond saving. I have seen many such situations in wars for many years. Once I have such a fever and nonsense, I can basically not survive that night." I don't know when, Li Benlei and Hu Hai and other military captains stood behind him. For those officers who have been fighting for many years, I don't know how many times I have seen this scene in the past few years.

"Luolin, call the doctor and call the best doctor here. I want him to promise me that he must cure him. He is still so young and has not yet married. He has his parents and brothers waiting for him to go back to reunite." Chen Kefu said as he said that tears were also soaked in his eyes. He felt his heart was so blocked, and he traveled to this ancient time for so long. He always thought that he had adapted very strongly. He thought he had already adapted to this troubled times. Unexpectedly, today he could not control himself when facing a strange soldier.

The officers all felt that the general's performance was a bit surprising. This was just a soldier. Even if he died, it was just a soldier. There were one or two million such soldiers in the Sui Dynasty, and such soldiers died every day. No general was so sad about the death of a soldier. They thought it was so strange, but they thought it was so worth it. Maybe the general was right. The generals in the past were wrong, and generals truly loved soldiers like their sons. Soldiers were always more bloody than ordinary people. Although they were sometimes the coldest and could face death calmly, they were also the easiest to be moved.

Mr. Li Benlei looked at Chen Kefu who was a little out of control and turned to Luo Lin and said, "Sir Luo Lin, why don't you send the general back to your house to rest, General is tired."

Luo Lin and several personal soldiers rushed to help Chen Kefu up and left the clinic. When they walked away, all the generals felt the cold and cold air on Li Benlei's body.

The old man gritted his teeth and said word by word, "These damn Goguryeo people, these Liao dogs, killing my millions of men in the Central Plains is not enough. Now he will continue to hurt my Han family." The old man turned his head and looked at the lieutenants next to him, "Now we are going to get some interest from those Liao dogs. Do you dare to come with me?"

Hu Hai and other lieutenants shivered as they looked at the murderous aura in the old man's eyes. Everyone understood what the old man meant to get some interest.

"But the general has already told us not to kill prisoners!" Mao Yi said hesitantly.

Everyone looked at Mao Yi, and they felt despised. Everyone knew that Mao Yi was the general's confidant and brought it out of a village. Otherwise, these lieutenants would probably have started to scold on the spot. However, from their eyes, it can be seen that they had begun to open a line with the lieutenants brought by Mao Yi and the others Chen Kefu.

Lu Shishen also saw their actions all of a sudden. He remembered that the general kept telling them that they must have a good relationship with those lieutenants. At this time, looking at the awkward atmosphere, he stood up and patted Mao Yi on the shoulder and said, "I said you are still a man? Do you have eggs? If you don't want to go, stay there. All the heroes and heroes who come out of Chenjiazhuang are like generals. Old man, let's go, if he has no eggs, then let him go."

Mao Yi was suddenly awakened by Lu Shishen's words. He and Lu Shishen grew up together since childhood. It was impossible for Lu Shishen to turn against him like this. So he quickly understood what he meant, and his smart head turned around for a moment. If he insisted on not participating in the action today, then the captains of their Chenjiazhuang and other captains would not be able to pee in the same pot. As Chen Kefu's confidant, he certainly understood how unfavorable this situation would be for the general.

Gritting his teeth, Mao Yi said, "Who has no eggs, count me."

Hu Hai and others also smiled when their originally tight faces. These men who fought against each other were so straightforward. If you agree with everyone, then everyone will treat you as a brother, otherwise, there will be no good expression.

"Let's go!" The old man saw that everyone agreed, and after he said something from his teeth, he took the lead in leaving the clinic.

When Chen Kefu was in the clinic, he felt a little touched by the serious injury soldier, and even thought about many messy things in his mind. He was a little confused. When Luo Lin helped him back to the temporary camping place in the south of the city, he felt a little tired and went back to the room to sleep for a while.

When he woke up, it was already dark. After Chen Kefu had some supper from his personal soldiers, he saw no officer by his side, and even Luo Lin disappeared. He couldn't help but ask at his personal soldiers with some strangeness, "Where is Luo Lin? Why are all the lieutenants not seeing each other?"

The recruit dodged when he heard Chen Kefu's questioning and did not dare to look at him. He said irritably, "Mr. Luo Lin said he had something to do and would come back soon."

Chen Kefu suddenly heard the falsehood in the words of the personal soldiers and said to him, "You look up and look at me, tell me honestly, where did Luo Lin and the captains go?"

The personal soldier was glared by Chen Kefu's eyes, and sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. Finally, he couldn't hold on, saying, "Sir, it was Lord Luo Lin who asked me to say that. He said if you ask him, he would say he would come back later."

"Say, what are they going to do?" Chen Kefu was already a little angry. These people were his personal soldiers and should be the most loyal to him. But now, not only did Luo Lin hide something from him, but even a personal soldiers also hide it from him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"He didn't tell me, but... but I heard that he and Li Benlei and other lieutenants went to the warehouse where the Liaogou generals were imprisoned, as if they were to say that they were revenge for the restoration of their children in China."

Chen Kefu understood as soon as he heard this, Mr. Li Benlei was killed in Liaodong. He had long had national hatred for the Goguryeo people. Luo Lin's father also disappeared during the expedition to Goguryeo, and he still had no idea of ​​life and death. It was probably because the incident in the clinic during the day stimulated them, but no one knew who took the lead, so everyone went there. At this time, Chen Kefu didn't know what to say. From the bottom of his heart, he still had a modern mindset. He never thought of killing those captured prisoners. He always had the idea of ​​not killing prisoners. Even in the Sui Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, it could not be changed for the time being.

Chen Kefu immediately rushed to the warehouse with several personal soldiers. He didn't know what he would say after he arrived, but he didn't want to see the prisoners of war being killed like that. When he arrived at the warehouse, there was no need for him to think about what to do. The entire warehouse was already a sea of ​​blood. Most of the more than 300 military and political generals and officials in Xincheng who were imprisoned here had fallen to the ground and were beheaded. Many of them were even interrogated before their deaths.

Chen Kefu looked at the situation in front of him with a gloomy face, enduring the pungent and strong smell of blood. "Stop, stop me."

Several executioners holding horizontal swords stopped holding the knife. The last ten Goguryeo people on the ground kept begging and howling there, trying to save their lives. Mr. Li Benlei walked to Chen Kefu and said, "Sir, if you want to blame you, blame me. I asked them to follow me. This is all my idea. If you have any punishment and beating, please go back to the military camp first. It is really not suitable here."

Chen Kefu looked at the situation in the warehouse, which really made people unable to stay there, so he had to say, "Everyone will follow me back to the camp. Don't kill the remaining Goguryeo people, clean up the place."

The old man followed Hu Hai and other captains behind him, but quietly turned his head and made a chopping gesture to the executioners holding swords. As soon as a group of generals left the warehouse door, a sound of a knife slashing into the flesh, and the sound of a head rolling to the ground came from behind.

Chen Kefu turned around and wanted to go back, but Li Benlei suddenly stopped him, his eyes full of firmness. After trying a few times, the warehouse had quieted again. Chen Kefu sighed and said to the gray-headed old man, "Today, the captured generals of Goguryeo attempted to escape, but were discovered by the guards but gathered to resist. They were all killed by my brave soldiers in the military camp on the spot." After that, he turned around and walked towards him, and took a few steps and stopped.
