What Zhang Lu has now cannot be separated from Liu Yan’s support.
If it weren't for Liu Yan, he wouldn't have been able to occupy Hanzhong, nor would he have been able to develop the Five Pecks of Rice religion in Hanzhong.
Just because his mother has been in Liu Yan's house all year round, their family's reputation in Yizhou is not good.
Being sent out by Liu Yan this time, although Zhang Lu only broke away from Liu Yan on the surface, in his heart, Zhang Lu also wanted to make a fake show.
We can take this opportunity to get rid of Liu Yan completely.
I just didn't expect that within half a year of his occupying Hanzhong, Wang Ding would attack.
I just heard that Wang Ding only had 20,000 people, but Zhang Lu didn't take it to heart.
But with just 20,000 people, combined, he had already lost nearly 100,000 troops.
Facing such an enemy, Zhang Lu really felt powerless.
Perhaps if he wanted to defeat Wang Ding, he could only ask Liu Yan to send troops to support him.
After pondering for a long time, after Yang Ang's hundred army sticks were beaten outside, Zhang Lu finally said, "Liu Yizhou, will you be willing to send troops?"
After spending several years together in Chengdu, Zhang Lu went in and out of Liu Yan's mansion every day. Zhang Lu naturally had his own understanding and judgment about this old man.
He is a bit far-sighted and a bit ambitious, but he is still limited to hiding in Yizhou, huddled in a corner of the Han Dynasty.
After so many years, I still dare not take a step out of Yizhou, and I don't even dare to openly confront the imperial court, and I have to use him as a shield.
It’s as if everyone else is a fool and can’t see that this is deceiving others.
Zhang Lu felt that Liu Yan was timid in doing things.
I know that after shouting in vain every day, I will learn from the great ancestor Liu Bang, accumulate strength, and wait for the world to change, before the troops leave Hangu Pass.
In today’s world, isn’t it considered that things have changed?
Several princes in Guandong were fighting every day, but no one looked at the imperial court's face.
Zhang Lu could ask Liu Yan for help for the Five Dou Rice Cult, but he was worried that Liu Yan would not have the courage to send troops.
Yang Song said: "Liu Yizhou has sent Yang Huai Gaopei to station at Jiameng Pass. And if Hanzhong is lost, it will mean Yizhou loses its gate. This is definitely not what Liu Yizhou wants."
Zhang Lu nodded and said: "I beg you, sir, to ask for support during this journey."
Now that he didn't want to lose Hanzhong, he could only ask Liu Yan for help.
This time he attacked Yangping Pass and lost his troops. Now let alone conquering Yangping Pass, Zhang Lu felt that he could not hold it even if he retreated to Hanzhong.
This time he went out in person and fought against Wang Ding, and Zhang Lucai finally saw clearly the strength of the Han army.
Previously, Yang Bai and Zhang Wei were defeated unjustly.
There is also the dead Yang Ren. Wang Ding had invincible generals and fearless elites under his command, and his defeat was not unjust.
If he had to do it over again, he would definitely stick to Hanzhong.
I don’t care about Liu Yan’s hint.
If Liu Yan wants to fight, let him send his own troops.
In the past, he could gather more than 100,000 troops, which was enough to protect himself.
Wang Ding has played against Liangzhou and Hetao before, and his results were very good.
But before the fight, Zhang Lu only thought that Wang Ding's opponents were too weak, not that Wang Ding was too strong.
After the fight, he realized that they were the weak ones.
After following Liu Yan in Yizhou for many years, they all became like frogs in the well who looked at the sky from a well and did not know that there was a sky outside.
Yang Song set off on the same day.
He took only a few followers, all riding fast horses, and rushed to Chengdu.
Outside Yangping Pass, Wang Ding was sure that Zhang Lu would not send anyone to attack, so he sent some more soldiers and went out of the city to pull all the soldiers who were not dead into the city.
This time, he brought back more than a thousand people, so Wang Ding had no choice but to divide half of the wounded camp and give it to Zhang Lu's soldiers.
After ensuring that his soldiers could receive good medical treatment, he assigned ten doctors and began to treat the injured Zhang Lujun.
Zhang Lu, who was still ten miles away, had already listened to the report from his subordinates, but he never thought that Wang Ding was bringing his wounded soldiers into the city to treat them.
He didn't care about the wounded soldiers. There weren't many doctors in Zhang Lu's army.
The soldiers who were slightly injured were all sent back. After drinking a bowl of talisman water, their injuries could recover on their own.
But for those seriously injured soldiers, Zhang Lu understood that his talisman water was useless. Even if he brought it back, they would end up dead from serious injuries.
When the time comes, these seriously injured people die in the military camp, which will affect his religious tradition, affect the beliefs of believers, and make them doubt the authenticity of the talisman.
Zhang Lu would rather give up those seriously injured soldiers than take them back and affect others.
As the leader of the Five Dou Rice Cult, Zhang Lu is very aware of his abilities.
His talismans can't save seriously injured people now. Maybe he will have to wait until his Taoism becomes more profound, then he may be able to heal them.
As the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, Zhang Lu naturally believed deeply in the effects of his own talismans. He had read so many Taoisms intensively, and the effects of various talismans were clearly recorded in them.
It's just him, the current Taoism is not profound enough, and some talismans are not effective yet.
Wang Ding will not seek misty talismans to cure illnesses. The doctors in his army are all recruited from Chang'an. Whether their medical skills are high or not, Wang Ding does not know.
But for injuries like missing arms and broken legs, these doctors are now very efficient in handling them.
Once you are sure that the arm cannot be reattached, just cut it off, disinfect the wound, and then bandage it.
Medical treatment is limited, and Wang Ding does not expect it. Every seriously injured soldier can survive.
Perhaps they were already bleeding excessively when they were brought back.
As for blood transfusions, these doctors don’t have the technology yet, let alone how to distinguish blood types.
The wounded soldiers on the Han army have been properly accommodated, and dozens of doctors are now treating these wounded soldiers under Zhang Lu.
They have been treating the wounded soldiers for a whole day, so they take a short break during mealtime.
However, no one is complaining that they are tired. The sooner these wounded soldiers are treated, the higher their probability of survival will be.
The disinfection method Wang Ding taught them also opened a new door for these doctors.
They are willing to follow the army to improve their medical skills.
These wounded soldiers are their patients, but they are also the test objects of their own medical skills.
They have been doctors for decades and have treated countless people. Many wounded soldiers who in their opinion were hopeless survived after their wounds were disinfected.
These doctors are more excited and motivated than Wang Ding.
In this army, not only can they save people, but the king also gives them a lot of money. Even if they don't have a day off, they will not complain.
But even these doctors are working non-stop to treat wounded soldiers.
There were still many corpses of wounded soldiers being carried out.
Of the more than a thousand people brought in today, more than a hundred died completely that night.
The first three days are the period with the highest mortality rate for wounded soldiers.
As long as they can hold on for three days, their injuries will get better under the doctor's care. The worst result is that they will become disabled.
