Just as Xu Da and Zhu Su were chatting and laughing, Chang Yuchun's tent was in a state of panic.
Just a moment ago, General Chang Yuchun suddenly woke up. He leaned on the edge of the bed and began to vomit. Then, his entire body began to tremble.
Then, he started to have a high fever and kept sweating. Not long after, he fell into a coma again.
The doctor on duty today was the most skilled doctor in the entire army. Therefore, when he ordered Chang Yuchun's subordinates to find Xu Da and prepare for Chang Yuchun's funeral, he would have been beaten up by Chang Yuchun's personal guards if not for the few generals who stopped him.
When Xu Da and Zhu Su received the news and rushed over, the soldiers had just tidied up the messy ground and were retreating from the tent.
At the entrance of the tent, the old military doctor did not say a word. His expression was solemn. When he saw Xu Da arrive, he knelt on the ground without saying anything, saying that he was useless.
He was just short of saying that Chang Yuchun would not be able to survive the night.
Even Xu Da was shocked speechless by his attitude.
" He was clearly fine just now, why did he…" Xu Da frowned. He did not continue speaking, but turned around and walked into the tent.
Chang Yuchun was lying on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. His face was red, his lips were pale, and his body was trembling from time to time.
The inner robe he had just changed into was drenched in sweat again in less than 15 minutes.
" Mr. Lu." Xu Da turned his head and looked at the military doctor who had followed him in."What happened to the Great General?"
The old military doctor sighed and walked forward to untie Chang Yuchun's inner clothes. Then, he used a pair of scissors to cut open the bandage on his shoulder, revealing the wound that was still bleeding.
" The biggest problem right now is the wound on General's shoulder. It has been in the state of an sore. In addition, General has a high fever. After tonight, I'm afraid..."
After hearing Doctor Lu's words, Xu Da took a few steps back. For the first time, panic appeared on his face.
Suddenly, Xu Da took a few steps forward and walked to the bed. Even a man made of iron could not accept the tragedy of his good brother's impending death. His pair of tiger eyes were filled with tears." Old Chang, I never thought that after fighting all the way here and walking through mountains of corpses and seas of blood countless times, today…"
Xu Da seemed to be unable to continue. After a long time, he choked and spoke again,"Sometimes, we think that when we get old, we can still get together to drink and play a few rounds of dice. After all, we're all boorish and can't learn the refined ways of scholars…Old Chang! So many of our brothers have left, and there are only a few left. Now, how can you f * cking bear to part with your brothers!”
Xu Da, who had fallen into grief, seemed to have lost control of his emotions. Besides Zhu Su who was trying to save General Chang, almost everyone in the tent, outside the tent, and even the entire camp was crying.
"Chang Shiwan, Chang Shiwan, didn't you say that a real man can't die on a bed in the fields? If he wants to die, he should die on a horse? What's going on with you now? We helped the higher-ups overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and seize the world. Even the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which had been left behind for hundreds of years, have returned to the hands of the Han people. But it's not enough. Didn't you want to learn from the Marquis Champion and the Wolf? The barbarians of Gobi are still waiting for us! Old Chang, how can you bear to leave now? Could it be that you, Chang Shiwan of Great Ming, would be like that Marquis Champion, after making contributions, you would be taken away by the heavens?
How unfair was the heavens! How unfair!
Oh, heavens! How can you treat my Ming Dynasty so badly!" When Xu Da spoke of the sad part, he could only roar angrily. The awe-inspiring Grand Marshal was in tears and snot at the imminent passing of his close comrade.
Just as everyone's sadness reached its peak, Zhu Su finally made up his mind after carefully analyzing Chang Yuchun's condition.
He walked to Xu Da's side and nudged the iron-tower-like Grand Marshal."Uncle Xu, make way."
When Xu Da heard this, he silently moved aside."Your Highness, you should also say a few words to Old Chang.”He thought Zhu Su was saying goodbye to Chang Yuchun like him.
"Forget it. If Uncle Chang knew that I was in front of him, he might immediately draw a knife and cut me with it because of his fierce second daughter. Do you believe that?”Zhu Su pretended to be relaxed on the surface, but his movements were not slow at all.
He took out a porcelain bottle containing garlic and poured the bright yellow liquid into Chang Yuchun's mouth.
After he took the medicine, Zhu Su turned his head and looked at Xu Da, who was looking at him with a hesitant expression and a trace of hope. He spread his hands and said,""It's already like this. I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say that I'm 70% confident. Let me try my best.”
When Xu Da heard this, his expression instantly darkened. His lips moved a few times, but in the end, no one heard what he said clearly.
"Go get some water. Uncle Xu, please get someone to change Uncle Chang's clothes into clean ones.”Zhu Su first gave instructions to the guards outside the tent and then made his own request to Xu Da.
Zhu Su had to admit that he had misjudged Chang Yuchun's condition.
When he found out that Chang Yuchun had malaria, he felt that malaria was the most likely cause of Chang Yuchun's death.
Now, it seemed that this was not the case at all.
What was truly fatal was the bacteria infection caused by the wound inflammation. Combined with the Armor Removal Wind, Chang Yuchun's fever did not subside and he fell into a coma.
When he woke up from his coma, it wasn't because his condition had improved, but because he had regained consciousness.
Due to the high fever, Cheng Chang Yuchun was sweating profusely. Not only was water flowing out, but the salt in his body was also flowing out very quickly.
The best solution now was to feed Chang Yuchun allicin and then find a way to feed him salt water to replenish the water and salt that had been lost.
In Zhu Su's camp, he had already started to refine small amounts of refined salt at the fastest speed. Meanwhile, he had prepared a large amount of distilled water.
What he needed to do next was to think of a way to cool Chang Yuchun down.
Xu Da's subordinates were very efficient. Very soon, they carried a new camp bed and laid out the bedding. Then, everyone carefully carried Chang Yuchun up.
Zhu Su felt that he should think of a way to cool Chang Yuchun down first.
"Uncle Xu, do you have any wine?" Zhu Su suddenly asked.
"Yes, I'll take it now!" Xu Da didn't even think about it and immediately ordered his subordinates to bring over the precious wine.
Soon, soldiers carried a few jars of wine in.
"I don't need that much." Zhu Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took out a jar of wine and smelled it. The pungent aroma of the wine made him feel that the alcohol content of this thing might be a little high.
He took the copper basin from the basin rack and mixed the liquor with some boiling water.
Then, he dipped a linen cloth in water in a copper basin and wiped Chang Yuchun's neck, armpits, limbs, and torso.
Then, he took a clean linen cloth and wet it. After twisting it gently to ensure that it was still wet, he placed the linen cloth on Chang Yuchun's forehead.
When he was doing all this, be it Xu Da, his subordinates, or even the military doctor at the side, they all just watched silently and did not dare to make a sound.
However, for some reason, when they saw Zhu Su's serious expression, the suspicion in their hearts had already faded.
"Alright, Uncle Xu, you and the others can leave. I'll stay here tonight.”Zhu Su moved a chair and sat in front of Chang Yuchun's bed.
"I'll stay too." Seeing that Xu Da was still very worried, the military doctor surnamed Lu spoke.
"Marshal, I'll stay too." The commander of Chang Yuchun's personal guards suddenly spoke.
" Great General, I also…" The other generals also spoke up and volunteered to stay behind to look after the Great General.
There were even a few bodyguards who were already fully armed outside the tent.
They were doing this to imitate the stories they had heard from the storytellers:
Back then, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, suffered from severe insomnia, almost to the point where he could not close his eyes. Therefore, General Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin guarded the door for him, thus curing Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty's insomnia.
In the end, Xu Da decided to leave only Zhu Su and Military Doctor Lu, the commanders of Chang Yuchun's personal guards. He set an example and returned to his tent to rest. As a qualified commander, he had to put the overall situation first at all times.
