Episode 167. The quick-witted guy (2)
tried to say something more to the fireman, but then shut his mouth.
“I unconditionally follow the will of Master Eosa. But if you change your mind at any time, please let me know. The strength of Bishop Myung and I… is greater than Master Eosa’s thoughts.”
“Eh~. Stop trembling. I am really satisfied as a member of the council.”
“……..”
“If there is an uprising on Eoyang-gun’s side… I’ll have to make some preparations in advance. Can I borrow some of Bishop Eul’s escorts this time?”
“I will personally assist Master Eosa. Of course, we will select those who escort and help with the work.”
“Thank you every time.”
After arriving in Donguhyeon, the painter began to prepare tools necessary for surgery, such as thread and anesthetic penicillin, with his disciples while Eulji was selecting and preparing people.
These things cost a lot of money and a lot of time to prepare.
* * *
While the painter was on his way to Yuzhou after completing all the preparations, as expected, Ku Seong caused an uprising in Jingzhou’s Changsha Bureau, and Jangsun and Janggeo’s brothers in Yuju’s Eoyang County.
At about the same time, tens of thousands of troops rose up in two places to occupy the city and begin to devour the surrounding cities.
Since Sun Jian was very resourceful and had four outstanding generals named Hwang Gae Han and Jeong Bo Jo Moo, he started fighting Gu Gu’s group and in just 20 days he decapitated Gu Gu’s head and subjugated even the other two armies who were sympathetic.
The rebellion in Changsha was easily quelled by Sun Jian, but in the rebellion that occurred in Eoyang-gun, Yuju, Yu Yu, who was appointed as Yu Ju-mok, was rather defeated and was barely holding on to the defense battle in Gyeseong.
“The imperial family is mad enough to change Yuju’s company to Yu Ju-mok and have them fight!”
Eulji shook his head as he watched Gyeseong from afar where hundreds of soldiers were dying every day.
The company is a civil servant and the neck is a military officer.
Of course, there are cases where the two positions are combined, but in wartime, a military officer must be at the head of the army to properly operate the soldiers.
However, the civil servants who only looked after the administration became choked up, so only the soldiers died day after day.
Looking at Eulji, the painter also sighed for a long time.
‘Did I get it wrong? If I knew I would be so lethargic, I’d rather have Bishop Eul bring an army…’
The painter actually didn’t worry much about the second rebellion of the Yellow Turbans, which wouldn’t last long anyway. But it was a fact that I knew from just a few texts. When more than 5,000 soldiers died in less than ten days, he realized how complacent he had been.
“What about the relief force?”
“It is said that Daeju Taesu Yuhui sent 3,000 relief troops. However, it seems that only 3,000 people cannot handle that army of more than 20,000.”
“Daeju is not a small place, so how did you send only 3,000?”
“It looks like there was quite a loss of troops during the first wave of the Yellow Turbans last time.”
“Who is the general?”
“These are the bloody brothers of Liu Bei, whom Master Easangnim used his strength to obtain a government post.”
For a moment, the painter tilted his head.
“Weren’t Liu Bei’s sworn brothers in Anhui County?”
“In Anhui County, there was friction with an official who was jealous of Liu Bei’s sworn brothers, but it seems that equipment hit the official.
That’s why the official’s superior, Jasa, tried to punish the three sworn brothers who had committed an abusive affair, but it seems that he ran away and hid from Daeju Taesu Yuhui.”
“Oh, so that happened.”
The painter was relieved when he heard that Liu Bei’s brother-in-law was coming with an army.
‘If it’s them, they’ll be able to quell this rebellion with at least a few numbers.’
After a while, 3,000 Daeju troops led by Liu Bei hit the back of Eoyang’s army attacking Gyeseong.
It was as expected by the fireman.
History does not change easily.
However, the history and circumstances have changed a little. According to history, Eoyang-gun should have been defeated easily, but this time, Daeju-gun was defeated and retreated. The army of Yuu, who came out of Gyeseong in harmony with Daeju, was also defeated and the placenta died.
The fireman saw it from a distance and tilted his head.
‘Am I misremembering? Losing at first, then turning the tide later? Or… has something changed?’
* * *
“Master Eosa. It is said that Liu Bi, the commander of Daeju, who attacked Eoyang yesterday, is seriously injured and in critical condition.”
The painter, who had been treating the patient for a while, was so surprised that he stopped sewing at the words of Eulji.
“Master.”
Then Pyeonseon called the fireman.
Only then did the painter come to his senses and even sutured the patient’s affected area. After finishing the suturing, the fireman asked Eulji again about what he had just said.
‘Was Liu Bei injured in this battle? If I’m not remembering it wrong… Didn’t history go the way I knew it?’
Confusion came suddenly.
The painter asked again toward Eulji.
“How hurt are you?”
“I don’t know how injured they are, but a few of the lords hastily left the battlefield and are looking for a doctor.”
“Are there no poems?”
“I don’t know.”
The painter thought for a moment.
‘what? How did this happen? What will happen if Liu Bei dies now? Oh, it’s crazy.’
The painter thought for a moment, then made up his mind.
‘I can’t. I must go.’
After taking the surgical instruments, the painter went to the place where Daejugun was staying, accompanied by Janggoe, Okju, and Haman.
“Essasaeng-nim!”
Zhang Gui went first to announce the arrival of the fireman, and Guan Yu and Fei Fei rode horses and greeted the fireman.
“I heard that Yu Hyun-wi was injured.”
“I was looking for a doctor in all directions because my older brother was injured.
“How many times have you been hurt?”
“I fell off my horse… I can’t move my legs.”
“what! Can’t move both legs? Didn’t the city doctor treat you?”
“I was looking for another clinic because I couldn’t see any improvement even though the city doctor treated me.”
“Let’s go.”
“yes.”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei guided them in advance, and the group of firemen were able to arrive at the military tent where Liu Bei was lying without any inspection.
Liu Bei, who had already heard the news that the painter was coming, was lying on the bed waiting for the painter to appear.
“Yoo Hyun-wi.”
“Sister-in-law.”
“How the hell did this happen?”
“I fell off the horse because it was hit by an arrow and toppled over.”
“I’ll check it out first.”
“yes.”
The painter noticed that the person next to Liu Bei was a doctor and asked him while taking a pulse.
“What prescription did you give to Yu Hyeon-wi?”
“I put acupuncture on Shinyu Jisil Gihae Guanwon Pohwang’s back and moxibusted.”
The parts the doctor said were the areas where acupuncture is often placed when the back hurts.
‘If both legs are paralyzed, there is a high probability that the nerves on the back side are injured…’
The painter took Liu Bei’s clothes off and inspected her waist and used her clairvoyance to find out how she was injured.
‘Fortunately, it didn’t break my nerves. The impact of the fall was so great that the disc protruded and pressed the nerve trunk. Treatment won’t be difficult, but I won’t be able to ride a horse for a while.’
Nerves on the arm or leg side do not penetrate bones, so discs rarely press on nerves due to shock, but in the back and lower back, nerves penetrate the spine (bones), so the disc is flattened and bulged due to shock. There were a lot of cases where I got on my nerves when I came out.
The painter thought for a moment about the treatment method.
In the future, since all medical facilities were in place, I would have decided to undergo surgery without worrying, but this was a battlefield. Although there was a brief lull, enemies could attack at any time.
‘Because the muscles on the back and buttocks are very developed, I’m going to grab a strand towards the traction treatment and first give first aid and then get away from the battlefield.’
The painter finished the examination and looked at Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and equipment.
All three of them had worried faces.
I have seen countless cases in the battlefield where the lower body was paralyzed after falling off a horse.
Some get better with treatment, but many don’t. And even if it got better, it was possible to live a daily life, but in most cases, they could not ride a horse again like before.
I knew the fireman’s medical skills were amazing, but I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to ride a horse again like I used to.
“I think it will take some time to heal, so I need to move Hyun-Woo Yu to where I am staying first.”
“Master Teacher B’s paralysis of the lower half of the body… will be resolved, right?”
When the equipment asked cautiously, the fireman nodded.
“It takes time, but fixing it is not a big deal.”
“is it so. So, can I ride the horse again?”
“Of course I can ride.”
When the painter made a bold assertion, not only the equipment, but also the eyes of Guan Yu and Liu Bi were relieved.
“Are you really me?”
“I don’t lie about my illness. First of all, I need to get rid of paralysis in my legs and move to my place of residence. Guard Zhang.”
“Yes, Senator.”
“Please help me.”
“yes.”
“Holding the upper body like this, if I twist it to the right, Howie-nim, please twist it outward. And if you twist it to the left, twist it to the right.”
“All right.”
“Hyeonwi Yoo. It will hurt terribly because you are trying to heal your paralyzed leg, but bear with it.”
“I have a good understanding of what I endure, so don’t worry and treat me quickly.”
“okay.”
After explaining the methods and principles to Zhang Kai in a bit more detail, the fireman twisted Liu Bei’s waist with all his might and pulled the ilium as if it were to be ripped from the backbone.
Crunchy…
At that moment, there was a loud sound like bones colliding from Liu Bei’s waist.
“Gagging!”
Liu Bei said she was patient, but she let out a scream, and the fireman twisted Liu Bei’s body in the opposite direction and pulled the ilium strongly.
Clump-!
“Kuuk!”
Screams erupted from Liu Bei’s mouth in succession, and even saliva flowed from her gaping mouth.
The painter used his clairvoyance to check the condition of Liu Bei’s waist.
With the two twists, the disc between the lumbar vertebrae was slightly indented, and some of the compressed nerves were stretched.
‘I’ll have to fix it so that it won’t be pressed again.’
The painter wrapped a bandage around Liu Bei’s waist and fixed it with bamboo sticks. Then, the bandage was wrapped again to keep the waist stretched.
Liu Bei, who had been screaming while the painter was doing this, had a look of surprise on her face.
“The senses come back. Feeling in my feet is coming back.”
When Liu Bei moved his toes, not only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but also Shi Yi’s eyes, which had been treated earlier, became round.
‘Huh, what principle was applied to get such an immediate response?’
In particular, as if experiencing a new world, the poet reached out and even touched the moving toes of Liu Bei.
‘Even with acupuncture and moxibustion, I thought it would take at least 5 days to see
improvement …’ What the hell did you do?”
In the end, the poet could not hold back his curiosity and asked the fireman.
“You saw how he did it.”
“Teach me the war principle.”
“As a member of the city council, I understand what you are curious about, but I don’t have time to teach at leisure right now.”
