After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 251: Only 3% of those severely wounded on the battlefield survive.



Chapter 251: Only 3% of those severely wounded on the battlefield survive.

With the people on the border well-fed, she had some free time these past few days. When she had free time, she wanted to find some entertainment, but there was nothing to do with entertainment on the border.

There were indeed brothels, but they generally catered to men. Ye Yuwu had secretly visited them a few times.

At first, it was quite novel, surrounded by beautiful women, drinking and such, but there was nothing else to do, so it was incredibly boring.

Entertainment in Youzhou was pitifully scarce, even more boring than in Chizhou, so how could Ye Yuwu stay idle?

So he came up with the idea of ​​opening a teahouse and a bookstore.

Anyway, she was doing these two things in Bianjing, and they weren't difficult to do. Moreover, Youzhou had now merged with two small states, so it had a large population and many scholars. There was no reason not to open it up.

More importantly, she has not forgotten her original wish: to open bookstores everywhere, not just in Jin Kingdom, but also to make her stories available to everyone.

Thinking this through, she quickly made up her mind. However, she didn't have enough money on her, and she needed government approval to open a shop. So Ye Yuwu went directly to Su Wangyan to ask for favors.

Su Wangyan had been extremely busy lately, so he was quite surprised to learn that Ye Yuwu had come to the military camp specifically to see him.

After Ye Yuwu entered his tent and explained her purpose, Su Wangyan didn't even have time to react, but out of trust in Ye Yuwu, he still nodded in agreement.

Ye Yuwu smiled broadly, thanked him, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Su Wangyan offered to take her to visit the military camp.

Ye Yuwu thought for a moment and then agreed.

She also wanted to see what the military camp was like. When she was led into Su Wangyan's tent earlier, she walked quickly and had something on her mind, so she didn't take a look at the military camp along the way.

After she agreed, Su Wangyan finally relaxed his clenched fist and felt less nervous.

He had been so busy at the military camp these past few days, and he finally managed to see her today. But she came and went so quickly. He instinctively tried to persuade her to stay, and made an excuse to show her around the military camp.

He felt that his reason was rather abrupt, but fortunately she didn't suspect anything.

Su Wangyan didn't know why he had such thoughts, nor did he dare to think about why he wanted to spend more time with her.

Su Wangyan put aside his official duties and actually took Ye Yuwu on a tour.

As Ye Yuwu passed by the training ground, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After all, it was quite pleasing to the eye to see a group of testosterone-fueled men training together, even if their body odor was a bit strong. Otherwise, Ye Yuwu could have watched and appreciated it for a while longer.

However, Ye Yuwu was unaware that while she was secretly observing the group of soldiers, they had also discovered her.

When had they ever seen such a beautiful woman in the military camp? Everyone stared at her, but then they noticed the menacing Su Wangyan standing next to her and quickly looked away.

But the instructors, who were training them, stood up straight as if they were on steroids. They had initially looked exhausted, but soon became extremely excited, leaving the instructors stunned.

This group of people spread their tails like a peacock displaying its feathers.

Before long, the coach found out what had happened.

It turned out that General Su had brought a beautiful woman with him.

The instructor was about to bow, but Su Wangyan stopped him with a gesture.

"You may continue. I am merely bringing Lord Ye on an inspection tour."

The coach understood and watched them leave.

These young lads were already seething inside.

"Who is this woman? This is the first time I've seen the general so gentle and affectionate, so eager to introduce the military camp to people?"

Do you know how old the general is?

"I heard she's twenty-six."

"Haha, my father would have given birth to me long ago at this age. The general doesn't even have a confidante."

"Monkey, you know so much! None of us noticed it just now." While the instructor was chatting with Su Wangyan, the soldiers below couldn't help but chat amongst themselves.

"Ahem! If you dare to talk nonsense again, you'll all have to do extra training!" The instructor didn't expect that these young lads would start whispering to each other again in just a short while.

He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; this year's new recruits were really difficult to teach!

On the other side, Su Wangyan led Ye Yuwu to the medical office's tent.

As soon as she arrived, she could smell a strong herbal aroma, and Ye Yuwu curiously looked inside.

Just then, the tent curtains were already tied up, and the inside could be clearly seen.

At this moment, Su Wangyan suddenly spoke.

"Thanks to your previous method, several lives were saved."

"How many soldiers were wounded during the previous battles?"

Su Wangyan gave her a rough estimate of the number of people, and Ye Yuwu couldn't help but frown. "Didn't we take them down with little effort by working together with Marquis Wu'an from the inside? How come there are still these people injured?"

"On the battlefield, regardless of the size of the battle, people will be injured as soon as fighting starts, and this is already a very minor loss."

Ye Yuwu thought about it and realized that in ancient times, even the healthiest person could die from being cut by a sword or knife, since there were no modern antibiotics.

Another point is that these people would smear animal feces on their daggers. If you were slashed once, even if you didn't die on the spot, you would slowly die from the infection of the wound.

This was the most common method in ancient warfare with cold weapons, and it was also an experience summarized by the ancients after many years of fighting. Although they did not know why it was so, they knew that this method could injure the enemy.

Ye Yuwu then asked, "Since so many people were injured, how many are still alive?"

Only 30% of the injured survive.

Ye Yuwu frowned, "So little?"

Su Wangyan sighed, "That's quite a lot. Excluding those with minor injuries, 30% is already considered good. Before, less than 10% of people could survive."

Hearing his somber words, Ye Yuwu couldn't help but be surprised. She naturally knew that very few people in ancient times could withstand injuries, but! But she hadn't expected it to be so severe.

Ye Yuwu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are there still wounded soldiers in the camp?"

Su Wangyan nodded and led her to another tent.

This camp was completely different from the one they had just seen. It was full of seriously injured people. Some had already survived, while others were still unconscious and it was unknown whether they would live.

"Among these people, some are soldiers from small countries who fought in the war before. Their lords were either dead or fled. They surrendered after we entered the capital. They also have parents and relatives waiting for them at home. I couldn't watch them die, so I sent them here for treatment."

Ye Yuwu trembled upon hearing his words and couldn't help but look up at him.
