This winter in Huguan is obviously not easy, but what is even worse is the Lejin troops outside the city.
Huguan was attacked, and Huguan City was naturally closed. All production and life were suppressed to a minimum, and the atmosphere in the entire city was gloomy and depressing.
As for Cao Jun's military camp outside the Huguan Pass, although it seemed very impressive as it stretched, in fact, it gradually showed signs of fatigue as time went on.
After the Huguan garrison withstood Le Jin's three-blade axe, Cao Jun gradually became quiet. The generals of Cao Jun, led by Le Jin, just called for battle under the city as a routine matter every day, and then carried out painless attacks.
Stretch your muscles and muscles and then take them off directly.
But everyone knows that this does not mean the end of the war. On the contrary, it means that both sides are waiting for the final blow.
The cold winter slows down the decay of corpses, but no matter how cold the climate is, as soon as a person dies, the internal organs will begin to decay within a few hours, especially the intestines...
Cao Jun simply disposed of the corpses near his camp, but most of the corpses were piled under the city wall of Huguan Pass. Although kerosene had been burned several times, those corpses were not completely burned, or were burned.
Half of the corpse was filled with corpse oil and corpse odor, complementing each other.
This almost blended, substance-like smell of decay lingers on the bricks and stones of Huguan Pass, and then penetrates into it, just like the greasy table tops and chairs in a street food restaurant, which cannot be wiped clean even if they are wiped.
.
"Wear your masks!" The team leader above Huguan patrolled back and forth, "Don't forget the doctor's orders! Don't forget to get a bowl of filth-removing water next time! If anyone has vomiting or diarrhea, please tell the truth.
Report it! If you delay treatment, you are harming yourself and others! If you know it, everyone who hears it will scream..."
"Everything is known!"
"clear!"
"squeak……"
To deal with the plague, Baiyi Clinic has developed a set of relatively safe methods.
Of course, this is winter, and there are relatively few insects, so simple management is not a big problem. Once spring starts, these corpses will become a paradise for insects, and then it will become even more troublesome. Now only elementary prevention against the plague is needed
means.
In fact, the starting point of the development of Chinese traditional medicine is very high. Taking simple hemorrhoids as an example, Zhang Zhongjing in the Han Dynasty already had a prescription for treating hemorrhoids, which was further improved in the Tang Dynasty. In the West, until Louis XV, red-hot medicine was still used.
Iron rod to heal...
Inheritance is the core focus.
In the history of Chinese civilization, whether it is literature or medicine, whether it is agriculture or industry, there is a context to follow, and corresponding evidence can be found. There are records, cultural relics, and evidence from many different directions, which can be clearly understood.
See how China's civilization is moving forward step by step...
Feiqian's wall-hanging is naturally not among the Five Elements, but as for other civilizations, it's hard to say if there are too many isolated evidences.
After all, it is difficult for a single, accidental, or something that cannot be corroborated to support the entire huge civilization system.
Just like Fei Qian's development of gunpowder, he cannot do it alone. He also needs to go from mineral processing to mining, to refining and compounding. If there is a slight deviation, problems will occur.
Obviously, Shandong has not realized this yet. It is like they are also working on gunpowder, but where does the gunpowder come from?
There is no preliminary experiment, no basic knowledge, no matching subject branches, and no corresponding skilled production studio...
So Cao Jun couldn't hold on.
It is difficult to support a single tree. Even if Le Jin has more troops than Zhao Yan, he still cannot conquer the Huguan Pass.
Le Jin also knew this. He and Zhao Yan were waiting for new opportunities and new points of support. But what Le Jin didn't expect was that the support he expected was no longer able to hold up.
The stalemate in Huguan gradually showed some signs of loosening. At the beginning, this sign only involved the changes of a dozen or so people...
On the Taihang Mountain Road, Yan Rou and his party of more than 20 people were traveling from north to south.
The advantage of having fewer people in the mountains is that it is easier to hide one's whereabouts, but the trouble lies in supplies. Several people were injured along the way, all because their injuries could not be treated, and the dry food had long been eaten.
Cold weather and lack of supplies made Yan Rou and others difficult to move.
"Where are we going now?" someone asked.
"Go to Danghu Pass..." Yan Rou replied, and then fiddled with the bow in his hand.
If the bow string gets wet, you can only take it off first and find an opportunity to dry it, otherwise it will be useless.
"But we are blocked now..." Yan Rou wrapped the bow arm, "We need to find an intersection..."
Someone else asked, "What is Cao Jun doing here?"
Yan Rou shook her head, "I don't know...but it won't be a good thing anyway..."
While talking, someone suddenly called someone's name in a low voice. Yan Rou suddenly paused, stood up and looked over there. After a while, someone whispered: "Old Shitou is dead."
Stone, wood, dog egg, dog leftover are all cheap names.
The humbler the name, the more it contains the most basic wishes...
alive.
But even so, it's still rare.
Everyone around him fell silent.
Yan Rou was silent for a moment, and then said: "Keep the knife for him, and take the others... away..."
As a warrior, he lives with a sword and dies with a sword.
"...Should we bury him?" someone asked in a low voice.
Yan Rou was silent again and shook her head. After a pause, she said, "One person just piles a stone for him...Old Stone, alive is like a stone, dead...still like a stone..."
Everyone did so.
They found some stones for Lao Shitou, piled them next to Lao Shitou, and then took away Lao Shitou's bow, arrows and armor.
After stopping for a while, everyone continued to move forward.
In the same area, at the other end of the mountain road, a dozen Cao Jun scouts were also coming over the ridge.
Due to the cover of the mountains and rocks, the two sides had not yet seen each other, but not long after, the forwards of the two sides suddenly collided with each other, and they were already fighting in one place without even having time to warn the people behind!
At this moment, Yan Rou was stunned for a moment, but only for a moment. He suddenly threw away the debris in his hand, then raised his sword and threw it forward!
Yan Rou jumped and ran along the rapid mountain road while shouting: "How many people——"
Someone from the front responded, "Yish——"
"Watch the top!!" Someone shouted again, and then arrows were shot from the ridge on one side.
Yan Rou dashed forward with her head down, her feet quickly jumping left and right on the rocks, like an antelope jumping in the mountains.
A Cao Jun scout was fighting against Yan Rou's men. While he was gnashing his teeth, suddenly something went dark. When he looked up suddenly, he saw that Yan Rou had jumped directly from the rock, and the sword flashed past like lightning!
"Kill!" The head spurted with blood, spinning and leaping high. Before it could fall, Yan Rou rushed out again, and the blood flashed as she waved the sword!
Yan Rou was like a tiger and leopard. After she pounced into the sheep, she caused a bloody storm!
Almost in an instant, after nearly half of Cao Jun's scouts were destroyed, the few Cao Jun scouts who fell behind immediately turned around and fled without saying a word.
Yan Rou's men chased after them and tried to kill them with bows and arrows, but under the cover of rocks and shrubs on the mountain road, the shooting field of view was not very good. "Three of them escaped..."
Yan Rou wiped the blood from the sword on the body of Cao Jun's scout, and then touched the corpse, "Look for them all, take away everything you need to eat and use! Is anyone injured?"
"Two sons are injured!" someone shouted.
Yan Rou ran over and looked at the injured.
"He...he..." The person pressing the injured man's abdomen choked, "The intestines are broken..."
"..." Yan Rou was silent, like a stone.
The injured person raised his head, stared at Yan Rou, and said with difficulty: "Here... give me a good time..."
Yan Rou knelt down beside the injured person and held the injured person's head in her arms.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... [Eternal God]... The soul of the warrior... I can rest in peace..."
Yan Rou sang a simple song, pierced the wounded man's chest with his sword, and then waited for the wounded man to take his last breath in his arms before gently placing the wounded man on the ground.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... [Eternal God]... The soul of the warrior... I can rest in peace..."
The rest of the people gathered around the injured person and sang together in a low voice.
"Leader..." After a while, someone whispered, "We...what are we fighting for? What are we fighting for?"
War, these two words seem to make some people inexplicably excited when they are spoken, and when they are used, they scream for blood to flow into rivers, but for those who are actually on the battlefield, this war also means
What are you wearing?
glory?
justice?
wealth?
Yan Rou was silent.
He suddenly remembered that he initially joined the war just to repay a favor.
Repay Liu Yu's kindness.
But now...
Is he still repaying Liu Yu's kindness?
Suddenly, Yan Rou felt an inexplicable sense of fatigue creep into his heart.
"After fighting this time..." Yan Rou raised her head and looked at the surrounding comrades, "We will go back to the grassland and desert, find a piece of pasture for the hussars, graze cattle and sheep, and find some wives for everyone, and live the rest of our lives peacefully."
...We will also take the heroic spirits of the warriors who died along the way and return to the desert together... okay?"
"good!"
"I don't want to fight anymore..."
"Go back to the desert. After this fight, go back to the desert!"
Everyone seemed to be more excited again, while Yan Rou lowered her head and looked at her hands.
There is the blood of enemies and the blood of comrades on my hands.
The blood has solidified, penetrated into the finger joints, soaked into the folds of the skin, and seems to be attached to the bones, seeping into the bones...
War, it never knows what mercy is.
Whether you are a person who likes war or a person who hates war, whether you are strong or weak, once you are sucked into the vortex of war, you must try your best until you finally fall.
The same is true for Jiangdong.
Although the people of Jiangdong tried very hard to avoid being affected by the war, the war between Feiqian and Cao Cao north of the Yangtze River still greatly affected the people of Jiangdong.
However, at the beginning, this impact seemed to be positive.
As Cao Cao launched his attack on Heluo, Jiangdong's overall economy became more prosperous for a while.
Some people know the reason for this, while others are confused and have no idea why it is like this. They think that Jiangdong can stay alone and stay out of the war.
The subsequent changes gave the people of Jiangdong a vicious blow!
When Jiangdong first advanced, it successively conquered many counties and villages on the Yangtze River, and once approached Sichuan and Shu. It had an unparalleled scenery for a while. However, this scenery soon stagnated. As the war became more intense, the area located in
The barbarians in the Wuling area began to make trouble again and successively conquered many counties in Wuling County.
However, the Nanman Shanyue rebellion was not the first time for Jiangdong. Many Jiangdong people sighed and cursed, and then continued to do whatever they should do, not taking the Wulingman rebellion seriously at all.
thing.
After all, in the minds of Jiangdong people, these Wuling barbarians are like seasonal allergic rhinitis. Although it will be somewhat uncomfortable for Jiangdong people for a certain period of time, after this period of time, the symptoms will be relieved, and then they will be the same as healthy people.
.
Compared with the Wulingman rebellion, what most people in Jiangdong are worried about is the price of food that suddenly stands in front of them like a giant wall!
Suddenly, the grain seemed to have wings and flew straight up!
Only at this moment did anyone wake up to the inexplicable periodic prosperity of Jiangdong's economy at the beginning, and why a large number of coins suddenly appeared in circulation on the market...
Money is only valuable when you can buy something.
Cao Cao and Fei Qian fought in Heluo. Until the final outcome of the war was known, commercial and trade activities would basically come to a standstill. Moreover, many farmers would be redeployed as laborers to transport grain and grass, which would inevitably lead to insufficient farming and food shortages.
So now Jiangdong is not short of money, but short of food.
"Things are tough..."
Sun Quan stood in front of the window lintel and sighed softly.
Sun Quan, who had returned to the political center, was filled with emotion.
Sun Quan said slowly, "In the past, when we first marched to the north, we were short of food and could not advance... Later, we often sighed that if we had food and grass, we could have settled the world... Thinking about it, we can't help but sigh... But now... it seems...
It’s similar..."
"...There are indeed similarities, but there are also differences..." Zhang Zhao replied in a low voice.
"Different?" Sun Quan knocked on the window lintel and repeated these two words.
If Sun Jian had abundant food and grass back then, the Sun family would have been able to settle in the Central Plains a long time ago. Every time he thought of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but be filled with regret. But now, Sun Quan once again encountered a food problem.
Regarding the strategy of sending troops to Sichuan and Sichuan, although Zhou Yu supported it, his low voice continued.
Jiangdong's partial peace is a complex issue.
From the beginning, Sun Jian killed the local governor for no reason for power, which was a shame. Sun Ce worshiped Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu once regarded him as his nephew, but Sun Ce did not object. Later, he openly opposed Yuan Shu, resulting in losing him again.
However, Sun Quan's position was unfair, and his brother died and his kindness was lost. At the same time, there were rumors in Jiangdong that Mrs. Sun was angry to death by Sun Quan, so even filial piety was somewhat unbearable...
How could such an unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unjust regime convince the Jiangdong gentry?
Although Sun Shiwan claimed to be the Great Emperor in the later period, in fact his official position was the lowest among the Three Kingdoms. The title of Great Emperor was just self-deception, and it was difficult to be recognized by the nobles and people in other regions.
In terms of economy, Jiangdong's level of development is still relatively low, which means that the overall foundation is relatively weak and cannot support large-scale soldiers for long-term operations. This is also an important reason for the weakness of Jiangdong's offensive.
At the same time, due to the war in the Central Plains, refugees from the north fled to the south. These ordinary refugees generally had nothing to offer. On the one hand, these refugees promoted the development of Jiangdong's economy with cheap workmanship, but on the other hand, cheap refugees also made
The natives of Jiangdong have lost a large number of job opportunities, and conflicts between them are inevitable.
If Sun Quan could have the courage to use cheap labor on a large scale, develop the land east of the Yangtze River on a large scale, and erode the territory of the Vietnamese barbarians in Shanxi, some conflicts would be solved to some extent. Unfortunately, neither Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, nor Zhang Zhao and Lu Su could do so.
Maybe I didn’t have such a vision, maybe I saw it but didn’t do it, but no matter what, this led to many conflicts in Jiangdong, which were very complicated, causing friction and conflict in all aspects of society.
conflict.
The various trivial matters, the intense pressure from all aspects, and the military stagnation and failure made Sun Quan almost breathless.
Zhou Yu is in poor health and has serious problems. It is impossible for Sun Quan to let Zhou Yu go to Chang'an, so now he can only let Zhou Yu recuperate as much as possible. This makes Sun Quan dare not bother Zhou Yu even if he encounters problems now.
Be careful if Zhou Yu really dies from overwork, then Jiangdong will collapse immediately without any hesitation.
Therefore, Sun Quan could only discuss with Zhang Zhao.
There was nothing wrong with looking for Zhang Zhao. After all, the people's livelihood, government affairs, food and logistics were indeed within the scope of Zhang Zhao's responsibility. But Zhang Zhao, it was obviously impossible for him to betray his own ass for Sun Quan...
"In the past, it was Yuan Gongli's selfish desire, but today... it is not what one person wants, but the business of the market..." Zhang Zhao glanced at Sun Quan, ignoring Sun Quan's increasingly ugly expression, "It's a waste of time."
Things are done by the people, not against the lord."
Sun Quan endured it, held it in, and then asked in as calm a voice as possible: "In this case, could it be that Duke Zhang just let the soldiers on the front line starve?"
Zhang Zhao had already made a calculation and said: "My lord Mingjian, the allocation of money and food has been completed this year, and there is no difference...General Zhu's request for food is just an excuse to avoid the war...not to mention the art of war.
Eating one enemy can be worth ten... I have heard that Sichuan and Sichuan are rich. If we are really in urgent need of food and grass, why not just eat at the enemy?"
