Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1148 Is it right or wrong to kill chickens to warn monkeys

  The morning sun shines on the dock of the Li family.

Li, used to be Guanzhong Li, but after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he gradually became Longxi Li. Of course, the final rise of Longxi Li is actually inseparable from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but now, there are still some Li. The members of the clan stayed in Guanzhong and did not move to Longxi.

This ray of sunlight falling through the clouds just happened to illuminate the walls of the Li family's Wubaobao village with golden light. Although it has a bit of momentum, it looks like a caged animal under the spotlight no matter how you look at it. Mastiffs, though aggressive, are futile.

   Today is a fine weather.

   It didn't rain, the temperature was suitable, the sun was shining brightly, and there were some clouds, neither cold nor hot, everything was just right.

   Best for killing people.

  Lijiawu Fort, precisely because it has some connection with Longxi, has always felt aloof from this battle in Guanzhong, and has been perfunctory about Xia Mou's several recruitment orders.

  For Xia Mou, he is more mature after all, so although he has some dissatisfaction, he can temporarily suppress it and discuss it later, but for Ma Chao, it is completely different. Who cares if it's Guanzhong Li or Longxi Li, since I don't give my young master any face, why should my young master give them any face?

   Li's family is neither strong nor weak, but it is considered that You Fufeng is ranked well here, so it is just right to kill chickens to warn monkeys!

  Kill this picky Li Shi, and see if other people dare to show my face!

   Ma Chao led Hu Qi, a Qiang man, and Xia Mou's surrendered troops, and immediately surrounded Lijiawu Fort with water on three sides.

Although people like Ma Chao and Ma Dai are more accustomed to the Qiang cavalry fighting style, civil engineering has always been the strong point of Chinese soldiers. It is still easy to come up with a standard civil engineering project that surrounds three ques and one.

  The trenches surrounded on three sides were dug at a distance beyond the range of an arrow from the wall of the village. In just a day or two, Li has already dug out his appearance.

  The trench is five steps wide and one person deep. The excavated earthwork is stacked on the inside of the long moat to form an earth wall. By the way, the earth wall was also compacted, and the inside was lined with felled tree branches, which were densely woven together to prevent the earth wall from collapsing. In some areas in the middle of the trench, wooden boards were laid, and many passages for longitudinal horses were set up. Of course, the wooden boards are all supported by wooden frames. When necessary, the brackets can be cut directly to remove the wooden boards.

  However, Ma Chao thinks that he has the upper hand now, and he can just put on a defensive effort, and he doesn’t need to care too much...

   That’s right, it’s just for show.

  Even things like digging trenches are actually just pretending. On the one hand, it was made for the people of Lijiawubao, and on the other hand, it was also made for the Qiang people Hu Qi. After all, Hu Qi, a Qiang man, was not good at attacking cities, so these Xia Mou soldiers in Ma Chao's hands became the piece of wood that made up for the gap in the bucket.

  Ma Chao sat in the large tent of the Chinese army, squinted his eyes, glanced at the Qiang and Han leaders on both sides, and looked at Lishiwu Fort in the distance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

  Now Laozi can not only ride and fight on the plains, but also attack cities without hesitation!

  Ma Chao made such a big move to express this meaning.

  Behind the ditches and earthen walls, and a hundred or so steps away, there are three huge cavalry camps, almost all of which are almost connected to each other, presenting a huge crescent moon shape, enclosing Fort Lishiwu in the middle.

  Although no high wall was erected, many arrow towers were erected in the camp. On the one hand, they could serve as sentry towers, and on the other hand, they could also control the security of the surrounding camps. The Qiang and Han soldiers came in and out of the camp, and on the three sides, a fairly open piece of land was left, which was most suitable for cavalry to gallop.

   It is impossible for all such projects to be completed by Xia Mou’s soldiers under Ma Chao’s command. Naturally, most of the coolies are still completed by the captured refugees.

Repairing the earth seems to be rooted in the nature of the Chinese nation. Anyway, if you can’t bully God, you can only vent your grievances on Mother Earth. It seems to be a national curse of later generations, and it is mostly a greeting to Mother. Most of the women are the same...

  At this moment, except for the east gate of Lijiawu Fort, the other three sides are surrounded by people. These Qiang Huqi are not used to a neat formation. Although they are in formation, they are still shouting strangely, rising and falling on horseback, laughing and laughing at each other. , didn't take the next battle seriously.

  In the upper reaches of the river in the small woods, dozens of cauldrons were set up on the dry land of the river beach, and many heads were busy back and forth, and the smoke from the cooking was rising. This is to eat when preparing for battle, so that these soldiers don't have to retreat to eat, and give Lijiawu Fort a continuous powerful offensive suppression.

   Ma Chao obviously regarded this attack on Lishiwubao as a kind of rehearsal...

  In the beginning, when Ma Chao led the soldiers for the first time, it was a small team of one or two hundred people, and Ma Teng specially assigned an old soldier as his deputy in the team.

  Although Ma Chao knew that it was his father's kindness, and was afraid that he would not be able to take care of him, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. I am not a three-year-old child, and I have to be watched and supported when walking...

  Now, father is above, if you can still see it, you should be proud of me!

   Ma Chao is somewhat proud.

  Looking at the huge army that he pulled out with one hand, the Qiang and Han soldiers were all listening to orders under the tent, and the former arrogant and strong pass was shivering in the Wubao. All these are enough to make Ma Chao proud.

   "Come here! Send an order!" Ma Chao said proudly, "If we don't destroy Liwu today, we will never withdraw our troops!"

  ………………

  In the northwest direction of Lijiawu Fort, far away in the hidden place of deep grass and dense forest among the mountains and forests, the brigade of flying bear cavalry is resting in the forest.

Some of them were brushing their horses in the stream water, and the sturdy Xiliang horses that had been brushed, shook their hair comfortably after landing, and immediately shook off a piece of fine water beads; The bag, half lying on the belly of the big animal, gave a mouthful to the big head that came over, and then threw a few stir-fried soybeans into his mouth...

  There are so many people in different states, they are so leisurely as if they are on an outing.

  Li Ru was also bold, so he led the cavalry behind Ma Chao's buttocks, and was only twenty or thirty miles away from Ma Chao's troops...

  The sun shines through the sparse branches and leaves of the trees, and the forest is full of mottled light and shadows.

  These Flying Bear soldiers, except those on duty, mostly took off their armor, and some of them felt that it was hot, so they took off their battle robes, revealing their gnarled half-body muscles.

  In the clearing by the forest, several Bingzhou cavalry brought by Jia Xu were helping some wounded Feixiong soldiers change their dressings. Although they are protected by battle armor, anything can happen on the battlefield, but after all, the Feixiong Army's defense is still good, so most of these injured soldiers are not seriously injured.

The circles of cloth strips were untied, and then the wound medicine prepared by Zhengxi General Fei Qian was pasted on it. Although it was sprinkled on the wound that had not fully healed, the pain was so painful that beads of sweat stood out on the head and back. But these men from Xiliang were still grinning and laughing at each other, not even looking at their own wounds for a moment.

  Jinchuang medicine existed in the Han Dynasty, and there were also professional doctors in the Han Dynasty who specialized in medical treatment in this area, called Jinchuang medicine. However, most of these golden sore doctors’ medicine powders and ointments are regarded as family heirlooms. For the first time ever.

   Naturally, such a move saved the lives of many soldiers.

Inflammation caused by unclean wound cleaning has always been an important reason why minor injuries turned into serious injuries and then killed people. Now, the Bingzhou cavalry who have learned some wound treatment techniques and nursing knowledge have inadvertently acquired these original wounds. The trust of the somewhat rebellious Flying Bear Army.

  Although they didn't say anything, they no longer have a clear-cut feeling between each other. There is no special emphasis, and there is no deliberate behavior. Regardless of you or me, Feixiongjun and Bingbei Cavalry sit together, eat a piece of Feixiongjun's dried meat strips, take a bite of Bingbei Cavalry's compressed grain cakes, and then grumble together Tooting a pot of stewed wild vegetable and rice soup is a situation that has gradually become accustomed to by the campfire.

   There are no empty words of thanks, nor any passionate ornate rhetoric. The friendship between soldiers, between men and men, is so simple and simple.

  Looking at it, Li Ru suddenly had some complicated emotions in his heart. He couldn't help but sighed softly, and said, "If I had already had these medicines for golden sores, I wouldn't have lost a lot of them in vain..."

"This is Zhengxi's strength..." Jia Xu nodded and said, "I don't know what happened in the Battle of Baibo, but I have fought with Xianbei several times. Can survive... I have to say that this is the result of conquering the West..."

   "Six or seven out of ten? The same is true for broken limbs and arms?" Li Ru couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "It's not just a broken arm, a disemboweled person can still live! However, this kind of serious injury is not just treated by gold sore medicine, but by a gold sore doctor in the army... This is also what a certain person personally saw See…"

   "This..." Li Ru was stunned for a moment, then Fang said, "Could it be..."

In Li Ru's original concept, soldiers who were cut by swords or pierced by bows and arrows may die after the battle inexplicably, not to mention those seriously injured such as severed hands and feet. Being able to survive after being disemboweled was not much different from a miracle for the people of the Han Dynasty.

  Gold sore doctors in the army are usually equipped in the regular army, but it is really unheard of to be as powerful as Jia Xu said.

Although Li Ru didn't finish his sentence, Jia Xu knew what Li Ru was thinking, so he shook his head and said, "The doctors assigned to the army are not famous experts, they are just people with quick hands and feet, and they are not very proficient in medical theory... Zheng Under Xi's command, although there is a person named Zhang Mingyun who is very skilled in medicine, but this person is good at curing plague, not good at gold sores..."

  Li Ru heard this, and couldn't help sighing: "...It's incredible...The move to conquer the West will not only save one person, but also encourage the three armies..."

   Jia Xu also nodded silently.

  For most of the princes of the Han Dynasty, soldiers were consumables, and they just went to recruit some more after they died, but for soldiers who went to battle, there was always only one life, and when it was consumed, it was gone.

Therefore, the injured can be treated, and even the seriously injured can survive. For these soldiers, it is tantamount to adding a sense of security in their hearts. In comparison, they are naturally more brave on the battlefield. , Dare to exchange injuries for injuries, and don't back down easily.

In the Han Dynasty, those who have been on the battlefield, have seen blood, will not be nervous, have the courage to fight for the first, be wounded without chaos, and obey the command, to a certain extent, they can be regarded as elites. A small part, or the elite guards under the general, and Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, may be like this in the whole army. How can Li Ru not sigh with such a difference?

Outside the woodland, a few cavalrymen wearing Qiang leather robes ran over. When they arrived in front of the forest, they flew off their horses and threw the reins of their horses to the other soldiers who came to meet them. They walked through the sparse woods. When he came in front of Li Ru and Jia Xu, he cupped his hands and reported: "Master Ma is leading the white horse Qingyi and other Qiang people, and they are besieging Lijiawu Fort. The attack is fierce. It seems that Lijiawu Fort may not be able to last for two days..."

  Li Ru nodded, letting the scouts disguised as Qiang people go down to rest first.

  Although the Lishi Wubao targeted by Ma Chao has nothing to do with Li Ru, Li Ru still shook his head slightly, as if to feel sorry for Li Shiwubao.

   "...Kill chickens to scare monkeys..." Jia Xu said with a smile, "It's just that this brat doesn't understand that Guanzhong is different from Xiliang after all, and this hozen also has swords and guns..."

  Li Ru stroked his beard, and said slowly: "Han Wenyue is suspicious by nature, so although Jincheng is safe, he will definitely not return quickly, so... let's see how much trouble this hozen can cause in Guanzhong..."

   Ma Chao obviously wanted to kill chickens and monkeys, but did he really think that the gentry in Guanzhong were the same as the barbarians outside Guanzhong, that if one tribe was killed, the rest of the tribe would be awed and obedient?

  Guanzhongguanwai is different after all.

  The most important thing is that Ma Chao is so young. Although he claims his ancestor is Ma Yuan, isn't the ancestor of that gentry in the Guanzhong area a celebrity?

   How old is Ma Chao? Where is the official position? Is there an edict from the court, is there an order from the emperor, isn't it just a junior of a Xiliang warrior who gathered some soldiers and horses...

   How old is Ma Yuan? General Fubo. In the land of Guanzhong, if you talk about the ancestors, you don’t know how many have served as Sangong, let alone various Guanzhong marquises. Who is worse than whom?

  Therefore, let alone the knife resting on the neck, even if it was really cut off, these gentry would not give in to Ma Chao at will. The reason is very simple, they not only represent themselves, but also represent a family, a surname with inheritance and prestige, if they succumb like this, how will the whole family still be in the upper circle of the gentry in the future?

  Sometimes, losing your name is really more difficult than killing these gentry. Although the strategy of killing chickens to scare monkeys is good, Ma Chao went in the wrong direction at the beginning...

   Say something off topic...

   In the last chapter, a book friend said that the colleague was the author's words to vent his anger...

   Unfortunately, this is true.

   The fragility of the human body is beyond imagination.

There are times when any unit is rushing to work. At first, a colleague just had a cold symptom. He thought it was nothing serious, so he took some medicine by himself. Anyway, in less than two weeks, my complexion turned bad. I went to the hospital for an examination and found that my kidneys had failed.

   The doctor said that if it had come a week earlier, the kidney would still have been saved.

   Fortunately, modern technology can wash blood...

   Therefore, although this colleague is in pain, he can still wait for a kidney source...

   I saw it the year before last.

   As you all know, in the author's industry, some things are unavoidable. The author will tell you that the landslide caused by rain, has hundreds of thousands of people dealt with it...

   Let me tell you, these are not true, they are all rumors, and they are not credible. The bones buried in the foundation of the building, broken feng shui, etc. are all superstitions!

   But one thing is true, that is, take good care of your body. Once you have a cold and fever, especially if you have a fever that persists repeatedly, don’t be careless, because the symptoms of many diseases are similar to those of a cold at the initial stage...

   As for why not participate in the monthly ticket competition...

   It's not that the author is rich, the author is also poor. It's just that money can't be earned, but the body has a limit, and the author has limited energy and powerlessness...

   This can be regarded as the lesson the author Zha learned from his colleagues...

   Finally, I wish all book friends a happy National Day!
