Bian Bingjun felt confused and uneasy, so he had to stop and collect and repair.
Bian Bing also felt that he had indeed changed into a different person after being injured. The original elegant Bian Bing, who could take everything in a hurry, had quietly faded away without leaving any trace, even in his memory.
They are scattered and cannot be brought together.
Who can remain as calm as ever after losing one eye?
Pain and missing vision remind Bian Bing all the time that you are half-blind.
In the traditional concept of the Han Dynasty, having a mutilated appearance meant that one was not destined to be a high-ranking person.
An idle marquis cannot change anything for the Bian family, but it will take a long time to wait for Bian Bing's next generation. Who knows what will happen?
Therefore, Bian Bing had to be anxious. He must have military exploits.
Great military exploits.
And at this moment, what military exploits are closer and more suitable than Huguan?
Everyone knows that Huguan is difficult to defeat, but now he is not alone. He has to form a north-south flanking attack with Le Jin so that he can conquer Huguan. Once any aspect is lost, it will undoubtedly be difficult to conquer Huguan.
Double.
Therefore, whether Bian Bing arrived late, causing Le Jin to suffer too much damage and was unable to cooperate later, or Bian Bing could not control his own injuries and could not persist and had to evacuate, this was something Bian Bing could not accept.
Bian Bing was angry and desperate. Once the opportunity to fight was delayed, even if he wanted to retreat, in the Taihang Mountains, under the siege of the high mountains and mountains, with lack of food and water, the fate could be imagined.
But now the soldiers were suspicious and fearful of wolves and tigers, so Bian Bing had to stay and convene a military meeting.
Bian Bing suppressed the discomfort in his body and the anger in his heart.
He needs to go to Huguan and cooperate with Le Jin.
Among the generals with foreign surnames in the Cao army, Bian Bing was not ranked highly.
Le Jin can do it.
Le Jin himself is famous for daring to fight hard and fight hard, but this does not mean that Le Jin is a fool.
What is loyalty?
Or to put it simply, what is the value that Cao needs?
Any member of the Cao family or the Xiahou family can laugh at Yue Jin because he is illiterate in writing, doesn't know the classics, and doesn't know how many writing methods there are, but when he needs to overcome difficulties, he will think of Yue Jin.
This is the value of Lejin.
So Le Jin is such a brainless person?
Everyone knew that Huguan was difficult to defeat, so they asked Le Jin to come in and attack Huguan. Then Lejin led his soldiers and horses to attack Huguan without saying anything.
Could it be that Le Jin didn’t know Huguan Xiongjun, or that Le Jin didn’t know how much he weighed?
neither.
This is the value of Lejin.
If Le Jin and other generals with a foreign surname were present at the same time, Cao Cao would definitely praise the other general with a foreign surname. He would never talk about Le Jin, but keep it in his heart.
The two characters "Le Jin" represent "loyalty".
So, if he, Bian Bing, just retreats like this, he will hesitate to move forward because of some ghosts and gods...
Comparing people with others makes you angry, so you have to throw away goods when comparing goods.
Le Jin is at Huguan, fighting a bloody battle regardless of life and death.
Then he, Bian Bing, just retreated?
Bian Bing held back his anger and did not roar loudly, but he stared at his one eye and his face was still a little distorted.
The pain reminded him all the time that he didn't have much time and couldn't delay, but the people in front of him didn't care.
Bian Bing had a vague feeling that there were some problems with Cao Jun's military system.
But Bian Bing couldn't tell what the problem was.
In fact, it’s very simple. You join the army just to earn a living. For a month...
Ahem.
It seems like everyone understands it, but how to solve it?
Bian Bing looked from left to right, and from right to left.
Bian Bing's rank is not high, so he does not have any peerless generals under him. He is basically the military commander. But don't underestimate these military commanders. These people are the key middle-level figures who command the troops. Without these people,
Bian Bing and his more than 20 bodyguards alone want to command the entire army...
Perhaps the generals of the Xiahou clan of the Cao family who have certain talents in military formation and have hundreds or even thousands of private soldiers can directly use their tribes to manage from top to bottom, but Bian Bing obviously cannot.
He is not capable enough and his guards are not enough either.
Therefore, even though Bian Bing was very angry at the moment, he still suppressed it and tried his best to keep his tone from appearing irritable. "My husband is a ghost, but there is a god in heaven! We uphold the will of the emperor, and we have received the order from heaven."
!』
Bian Bing stared at his subordinates, Shi Jian and other military commanders, and emphasized in a more serious tone, "If you all work together to help each other, Bian Bing will never be in trouble!"
Let me say the good things first.
Bian Bing did not repeat what he had said before about rewards. Thousands of gold and so on are attractive to ordinary soldiers, but they may not be so attractive to mid-level military academies.
Middle-level military academies long for upward space.
Just like Bian Bing back then, he also hoped to crawl out of the mud.
"By this oath," Bian Bing said solemnly, "If we win this battle! The one who ranks first in military merit will be guaranteed the position of captain of his county!"
The commander-in-chief of a county is the first military attache under the prefect of a county. A large commander-in-chief is worth 2,000 shi, an ordinary county is worth 1,000 shi, and the difference is only 800 shi.
Although Bian Bing did not say which county he was the captain of, even the worst one had an official rank of 800 shi, which naturally made all the military commanders in the military tent feel excited.
Although there is only one quota, what if you are the lucky one?
Bian Bing's eyes were throbbing, but he endured it, and then said, "Today, the Hussars are rebelling, colluding with the Qiang Liang, and intending to disrupt the Han people again. We march forward and attack them. This is loyalty. We gain merit in the battle."
Respect your parents and provide shelter for your children and grandchildren. This is filial piety."
"The foundation of the Han Dynasty is nothing more than the two words of loyalty and filial piety. Even if you talk about ghosts and gods, those who are unfaithful and unfilial should also be punished by ghosts and gods!" Bian Bing said one word at a time, "There are rumors today that people lie about ghosts and gods and ignore loyalty and filial piety."
, He is afraid of life and death and does not care about the young and old at home, and he is not a son of man! General Le is now in the south of Huguan. He looks to me as a child looks to his parents! We will rescue him, just like our parents rescued a child! If we don’t help Huguan now, tomorrow
If we are in trouble, who will come to help you or me?!"
Bian Bing's words can be said to be the ultimate expression of Chen Ken, and he also occupied the great righteousness. No one in the military tent could say anything to refute, and they all accepted it.
People's pain often stimulates certain potential. Bian Bing is in great pain now, but he seems to have increased his sensitivity to the battlefield. He realizes the importance of Huguan to the entire battle, and Bian Bing feels that there were rumors that Zhang Ji was seriously injured.
And the death may be just a fake, it is just a plan of Huguan Jiaqu, and Huguan can persist for such a long time, only Jiaqu can't do it, Zhang Ji must also be in Huguan!
And now, the harassment and sneak attacks in the mountain road are just to delay Bian Bing's march south. This shows that Huguan is in a tight situation at the moment!
If Huguan can be obtained, the entire north-south line will be opened!
Not only did Cao Jun gain an important support point, but more importantly, Cao Jun was able to divide and encircle the entire northern land!
The key point of all this is at Huguan...
His eye sockets were throbbing again. Bian Bing stared at his one eye and looked at the past one by one. "Today is a day of preparation. You must make it clear to the soldiers that the trip to Huguan cannot be changed! If there are more soldiers after today,
Those who disturb the morale of the army, Shi Chang should be beheaded! If Shi Chang says to retreat, then the troops will lead the way and kill him! If the army leads the army and says to retreat, Qu Chang will kill him! If Qu Chang says to retreat, the military prince will kill him! If the military prince retreats, then a certain relative will be killed.
Kill him! If someone says to retreat..."
Bian Bingdang drew out his sword and struck the table beside him, cutting off a corner of the table. "This is how it is done! I should kill myself and thank the world!"
The table shook and trembled...
Everyone in the military tent was silent. After a while, everyone bowed down and worshiped, "I obey the general's order!"
"Today we will cook at three o'clock, eat at five o'clock, and set off at dawn! Keep the two wings of the vanguard in battle formation, and send out ten miles more for the scouts!"
Everyone took orders.
Everything seemed to be well arranged and well planned.
Bian Bing took a long breath. Although some problems were solved, he still had a headache.
The military doctor came in a hurry and showed Bian Bing the wound. The wound was still not healed, but the doctor had no medicine.
"General... this herbal method... doesn't seem to be very effective..." the doctor said hesitantly and timidly, "I heard that there is a golden medicine in Chang'an Baiyi Medical Center that can remove decay and build muscle... If it can
With this kind of medicine, the general's injury will be safe..."
Bian Bing does not have this medicine.
His surname is Bian, not Cao.
Moreover, this kind of medicine is also banned in Chang'an and is not sold to outsiders. There are a few scattered ones on the market, and the price is sky-high. Bian Bing believes that there may be some people like Cao Cao or Xiahou Dun, and the general Cao family generals are
Not necessarily, let alone one with the surname Bian.
So, I can only continue to use herbal medicine.
Bian Bing didn't want to ask Xiahou Dun for medicine, because it was almost equivalent to owing Xiahou Dun another favor, a favor as long as his life.
Bian Bing hates owing favors to others.
At night, everyone rested, but although Bian Bing was lying down, he could not fall asleep.
The pain was like a hook, hooking Bian Bing's brain bit by bit, and also brought out the memories that had accumulated in his mind. Those memories that he thought he had forgotten, but in fact only part of them were hidden.
Now, it is pulled out bit by bit by the hook.
It’s New Year now…
When he was a child, New Year was his favorite.
The warm sunshine in winter, gently caressing the snow-covered earth, will also bring warmth to him. The ice edges hanging under the eaves of various houses shine with colorful and blurred light under the sunlight, which is his favorite
The snacks are crunchy and crunchy.
As the New Year approaches, those vendors who are usually invisible will become active. They will appear out of nowhere, carrying burdens and shouting in long tones, hawking in the streets and shouting in long tones.
The sound is like singing.
The guard dog would lie lazily next to the door of the house, staring across the front yard at everyone who passed by the door. If a familiar family member returned, he would quickly greet them with his tail wagging, spinning around, and tugging at the hem of his clothes.
By the way, he would also roar twice at the door, threatening the wild dogs following his family in the distance...
And like a dog, he would stare longingly at the burdens carried by his family and twitch his nose to smell the fragrance inside.
At that time, he was good at studying and was praised by the gentlemen in Bianjiabao. Then his father went to the salesman to exchange the coarse grains for some white flour and make him a meal of batter soup.
His sister was not even allowed to eat. She even looked at her from a distance and was scolded to go back to the house.
It was the most delicious bowl of batter he had ever eaten in his life...
His parents hoped that he could study more and shine brighter for the Bian family.
But this dream was eventually shattered.
When did you become disillusioned, and when did life become nothing but pain?
Bian Bing doesn't know.
Maybe starting when he couldn't read?
Books are not that easy to read.
He really wanted to study, but no one would let him study in vain.
In the beginning, he learned to write a few words and read a sentence or two from the scriptures, and there was no problem. Neither the husband nor the patriarch cared about it. They would even praise him and say with a smile that he was a good scholar. But when he wanted to have a
I read this book, but when I actually went to study, I was told that I needed money...
It requires a lot of money.
Then his family couldn't even afford bacon for his husband, let alone money for books.
Therefore, he could not study.
His father believed that this was his father's fault, so in order to allow him to study more, his father quietly accepted a "big deal". As long as it was completed, there would be a sum of money that could be used for him to study...
It's a pity that the money didn't come back, and neither did the people.
Bian Bing didn't even know where his father died. He only occasionally heard his mother mention that if you don't have that destiny, don't fight too much. You fight over and over again, and end up fighting to death. Even after you die, you can't return to your hometown.
.
Later, Bian Bing even lost his hometown.
Because his mother was in poor health, she gave birth to several more children. As a result, except for him and his sister, none of the other children survived, and his mother was also weak due to childbirth. After his father died,
The next year, while working in the field, I fell down in the field and never woke up again.
But at that time, he didn't notice anything. He didn't even know how long his mother had been ill, and how she managed to survive until the lamp ran dry...
In order to attend the funeral, his sister sold herself.
Acres?
The farmland does not belong to his family. His family is a tenant and only has the right to use the farmland, but not ownership.
So I can only sell myself.
Like an animal, it spins around in circles and opens its mouth as required.
His sister had a good appearance, so the conditions for the sale, his sister said, were that in addition to the funeral expenses, he was also included.
He must be given a mouthful of food, and he must not be admitted to a scholarship to promote excellence, otherwise he must study.
Ren Yazi smiled and said, OK.
In the end, apart from the first item, which was a simple funeral, there was nothing else.
He still has no books to read, and he has to do odd jobs in the youth advocacy center. If he doesn't work, he won't have anything to eat.
To this day, he still remembers the screams of the madam in the brothel, just like the pain in his eyes, like a hook hooking into his brain and pulling on his nerves.
He was beaten with bruises all over his body, because he was a man, and the most important thing was that he did not want to be a prostitute, so his skin and flesh naturally did not receive any special treatment.
To avoid the stick, he hid under his sister's skirt and curled up like a skinned dog.
Until his sister was bought by the Cao family, he also became a servant of the Cao family...
Then the one who was beaten and scolded became his sister.
More than once, he saw his sister with scars, but she smiled and gave him the letters she copied, even if the letters contained one sentence in one sentence and one sentence in the other.
He asked his sister not to do this. His sister always said that they were the only two left in their family. If they didn't study hard, what would they do in the future?
future?
Is there a future for people like him?
But looking at his sister's injured face and hands, he couldn't say anything like this. He just silently took the letter that his sister had copied for him and read it word by word, sentence by sentence.
Carrying...
Until his sister gave birth to Cao Cao's first son.
Not only is the mother more valuable than the son, but he even got involved with a small steward and started eating white flour buns again.
That night, he cried.
He didn't even cry when he was beaten black and blue at the Youth Promotion Center, but that day, he cried.
He told people around him that he was crying with joy.
People around him also cast envious looks, but he knew that, in fact, it was not.
He cried for his father, mother, sister, and himself.
His father told him that he had to study to be capable, to become a useful person to the Han Dynasty, and to eat white steamed buns.
His sister told him that only by studying can there be hope, a better future, and escape from suffering.
He also worked hard to read and read under the ridicule and ridicule of others.
But now, the newly born male member of the Cao family has arrogantly pushed down and trampled all his cognitions.
Then he burned all the scattered letters he had accumulated.
He suddenly understood that the things he once regarded as treasures were actually worthless to the Han people.
A penny is worthless.
Worse than a belly.
This time he led the army south, which was the first time he tried to prove that Bian had other abilities besides his belly. In addition to women, Bian also had men.
So even though he was injured and in pain, he still endured it and gritted his teeth and persisted.
However, some things do not necessarily lead to good results if you persist. Just like the knight charging towards the windmill, he has courage and persistence that exceeds that of ordinary people, but he may not have a good result.
The painful and long night finally passed and a new day arrived.
There began to be chaotic noises in the military camp.
"General..."
The guard's voice sounded in Bian Bing's ears, sometimes far and sometimes near.
Bian Bing tried his best to open his eyes, with an unhealthy flush on his face. The image of the guard was blurry, shaking in front of Bian Bing's eyes.
"General... you're like this..." the guard said worriedly, "Should we send the doctor over?"
Although Cao Jun's doctors are just that, they are still doctors.
Just like a veterinarian can use some herbs or something...
With the complicated thoughts and the throbbing pains, Bian Bing felt as if his head was going to explode.
Along the way, the injuries have not healed, and coupled with the fatigue of running around, it is difficult to sleep. Even a hard-working person cannot endure it.
Bian Bing gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but he felt like the world was spinning. His vision went dark and he fell down. He only heard the panicked screams of the guards beside him...
