Mythical Three Kingdoms

”After our army has finished resting and recuperating, we will migrate a thousand miles to the west, handing over half of the Baisheng Dynasty’s land to the Han Dynasty,” Brack said calmly, without showing any other expression after hearing what Yan Yan said.

Seeing the other side so resolute, Yan Yan had no intention of refusing. As for how the Baisheng Dynasty would feel about it, the Han Empire didn’t care. It was clearly the Kushan who destroyed their country, and now that the Han Dynasty had taken it back, it naturally became Han land.

As for what to plant there or how to occupy it, that would depend on the mood of the Han Dynasty. Of course, since it was too far away, it was possible not to plant anything at all. Furthermore, having witnessed the battle in the Wenga Region, Yan Yan felt that no small country would dare infringe on the Han Empire’s land.

”Alright, we’ll dispatch personnel to survey the area,” Yan Yan said, while Gao Pei, Yang Huai, and others had already started gathering their army and treating the wounded.

”If we can make it to the Grand Assembly of the Han Dynasty at the beginning of the year, we will send people to pay tribute. We ask the General for an introduction at that time,” Hirilah added from the side.

”Very well, though whether we can make it is another matter,” Yan Yan nodded.

After Zhang Ren and others arrived, handing over the captured Kushan officers to Brack, they left first. Meanwhile, on the Kushan side, they were gathering soldiers and cleaning the battlefield. Despite the defeat by the Han Army, their morale was not significantly shaken.

”We didn’t deliver lethal blows, so although they look severe, they should all just be surface wounds,” Zhang Ren said with a light cough, though he felt a bit embarrassed himself, given that Carano still had two arrows stuck in his left chest.

When Brack saw Carano’s injuries, he thought that this level shouldn’t be classified as surface wounds. Fortunately, there were obvious signs of treatment on Carano, proving the Han Army didn’t aim for lethal damage. Still, accidents happen in battle, and injuries were normal.

Brack immediately covered Carano’s heart with his left hand, a dim Golden Radiance enveloped his hand, then he forcefully pulled out the two arrows lodged in Carano’s left chest.

This action shocked Zhang Ren, as the Han Army had left the arrows in place because there was no certainty in removing arrows that might have hit the heart. Brack unexpectedly just pulled them out directly, a maneuver that, even with Inner Qi Manifestation, could have gone wrong.

Surprisingly, Carano did not bleed to death as Zhang Ren had estimated. Instead, two blood holes formed on his chest, and the blood seeping from them quickly coagulated under Brack’s Inner Qi suppression.

”That’s quite impressive,” Zhang Ren said with admiration. Emergency treatment of this caliber was rare. In Yizhou, they had spent money to buy a batch of wound medicine in Fenggao, and they borrowed over two hundred medics from Zhuge Liang due to Liu Bei and Liu Zhang sharing the same surname.

Incidentally, after Yizhou borrowed this group, they considered going to Chen Xi for a second batch, but Chen Xi bluntly refused. Naturally, Chen Xi also asked Zhang Song to return the first batch of medics, which Zhang Song promptly refused, and the matter was essentially left unsettled.

Therefore, Yizhou was quite envious of such means to perform emergency treatment and save wounded soldiers. In fact, across the Central Plains, after Chen Xi introduced the concept of medics, they were all eager to have such emergency treatment, given that the cost-benefit had been calculated by now.

Decisively treating wounded soldiers and increasing veteran numbers was more cost-effective than continually recruiting new soldiers and covering funeral and compensation costs, and it resulted in stronger combat power as well.

To this day, all the Feudal Lords of the Han Dynasty are researching ways to lower the mortality rate of wounded soldiers, and emergency treatment is evidently a crucial area.

”Indeed, very impressive,” Yan Yan’s eyes sparkled. If Yizhou had all veteran soldiers, there wouldn’t have been the need for so many calculations in this battle.

Zhang Ren observed, though Brack didn’t feel much about it. Although he thought Zhang Ren was impressive, Brack had confidence in being superior. However, since Yan Yan came to observe, Brack respectfully explained everything in detail.

”Oh, it turns out this is an ability left from the relic of Mahakasyapa Visualization,” Yan Yan nodded with a knowing look after hearing the explanation, though in reality, he had no idea who Mahakasyapa was, only that there was such a treasure.

”Ziqiao, help look into what this Mahakasyapa relic is, and also see what else the Kushan might have. Prepare a document, and have them bring it along when they pay tribute,” Yan Yan voiced a practical request, sending a voice transmission to Zhang Song, who merely nodded in silence upon hearing it.

While Brack was speaking, Carano finally awoke, glaring at Zhang Ren with wide eyes that looked exceedingly angry.

When Zhang Ren noticed Carano’s awakening, he immediately spoke, ”We’ve already decided the outcome, so there’s no need for such anger from you. I understand your loyalty and dedication to your country; it’s been thoroughly demonstrated in your actions. Now that we’ve reached an accord, and considering your severe injuries, focus on your recovery.”

Carano rolled his eyes at these words, feeling a heavy grievance choke his heart after being nearly done in by Zhang Ren. Due to his weakened state, he rolled his eyes again and fainted.
