When the Han army arrived at Pingcheng, Shanyu Kuitou of Xianbei was lying on the bed.
After the Battle of Shaling, Kuai Tou's old injuries became more serious. Coupled with the cold weather and depressed mood, his lumbar spine ached like fireworks every day. Not only was he unable to ride a horse, he could only walk at most.
After two miles, he had to rest on the roadside for half an hour. The leader was quite sad about this. He touched the red and swollen bulge on his waist and said to his brother Bu Dugen: "The one who can lead the warriors is the sky on horseback.
My proud son, now that I can no longer control a horse, how long can I sit on my throne?"
Bu Dugen knelt down and shed tears. He could only say: "Brother is a proud man of heaven, but he only suffered a minor fall. How can he compare with the care of God?" He mobilized his knights to search for doctors everywhere, and the knights rushed to the north and south of the desert.
, crossing the Yinshan Mountains, Taihang Mountains, and Yanshan Mountains, searching up and down the mountains, swamps, and wild forests.
The first person to come was a witch doctor from the Damo cadre. He lived at the foot of Danhan Mountain and was a famous doctor who had treated the late king Tan Shihuai. The witch doctor had an old face and looked to be in his eighties. He wore a goshawk on his head.
With the skeleton in hand, holding a jade-carved staff, he asked Shanyu to kneel in front of the bonfire. He threw some of his white hair into the flames, causing a cloud of black smoke to rise. He waved the jade staff again, and his body danced like a snake.
The heroic spirit that communicated with the late king muttered witchcraft songs like a mountain ape. After dancing for half an hour, the Chanyu was shaking all over and could not stand on his knees. At this time, the late king finally issued a decree saying: Your fortune is over, but your military fortune is not.
He should give way to a wiser warrior and let him invigorate the Xianbei martial arts reputation.
Those who heard these words fell into silence, except for the witch doctor, who pounded the dried herbs and insects he brought into powder into powder, mixed them with spring water into a thick dark green paste, and then used a bamboo knife as long as the palm of his finger to lightly rub the paste on the surface.
He scraped and smeared it gently until a layer of clear butter was spread. He poured the butter into a small dish and let Shanyu drink it. After doing this for four or five days, Shanyu's condition did not improve, and someone reported privately: This witch is
The doctor was the intermediary sent by Jian Man to find out the news. Bu Dugen sent people to search his room and found Jian Man's seal. The witch doctor was bundled into a ball that same day and thrown into Shanyu together with the knights who were looking for him.
In the tiger pen.
The second doctor the knight found was an old doctor called Fu Zhu. He lived in the Black Mountains and did not come to Pingcheng with the knight. When the knight was looking for him, he told the knight that he had a life-saving talisman in his hand, which was the Great Sage.
It was written with blood during his lifetime. Master Daliang often used it to save people when he preached. If it is burned into talisman water, let the patient drink it. At the same time, he sincerely prays to Huang Taiyi in his heart, reflecting on the evil and wrong things he has done in his life, and abstaining from evil.
By taking the oath of good deeds, you can bring happiness to your soul and get rid of all kinds of diseases.
The knight spent a hundred gold to buy this purple talisman, rushed back to Pingcheng overnight, and told Bu Dugen the magical effects of the Yellow Turban Talisman Water. When the leader received the talisman, he tore the piece of paper into pieces and said to his men: "
Zhang Jiao can't even save his own life, so what's the use of this mere talisman? What's more, I am a descendant of a gray wolf and a white deer. I have spent my life fighting and fighting on horseback. What is there to regret? Nothing more than that.
The winner lives and the loser dies. There is nothing worthy of careful reflection on Huang Taiyi." However, he still ordered to commend the knight for his loyalty, rewarded him with a sharp sword, and told him to use it to kill the enemy.
The last doctor was a young Han man. He had just reached his crown, and his beard around his mouth was still downy. His skin was dark, obviously due to the long exposure to the sun. He was carrying a baggage, and his eyes were black and white, with lively pupils.
The knight who was looking for him took him into Pingcheng. The passers-by who saw him didn't think much of him. They openly talked and said: A doctor treats a doctor just like a knight riding a horse. Only by practicing more can he be able to handle the horse freely and cure the disease.
Only when there are many people can the medical skills be improved. How good can this young man be in medical skills at his age?
But Bu Dugen calmed down the commotion and said: He Jiwei has been with me for many years and has always checked for my mistakes and made up for them. He must have a reason for finding this doctor. No one believed this, so he had to talk about a past incident.
: One day he was hunting in Wuyuan and met a big tiger on the road. The evil tiger was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, luring Bu Dugen forward. At this time, Hejiwei shot a series of three arrows at the tiger's body, and the tiger jumped suddenly.
Entering the swamp was the only way to save Bu Dugen's life.
After hearing He Wei's deeds, everyone stopped talking, but they still had doubts about the young man's medical skills. The young man followed Bu Dugen into Kuitou's bedroom, and when he saw the bulge in Shan Yu's waist, his expression turned serious.
He took out a lacquer box from the baggage, and a pack of silver needles from the lacquer box, heated them with candle fire, and inserted about forty needles densely on Shanyu's back. He also took out a pack of medicinal residues and boiled them with hot water.
, then soaked it with a sweat towel, applied it to the bulge, and applied it for half an hour. Finally, he took out a small knife and cut a thin mark on the bulge. Purple-black pus and blood gushed out from the thin mark, and it flowed out for less than half of the basin.
After the blood flow was over, the young man squeezed out the yellow pus and wrapped the affected mouth with a dry white cloth. Chanyu groaned, and immediately covered the white cloth and got out of bed. Apparently he felt much better. All the generals under his command saw him.
Everyone was dumbfounded and exclaimed: This is really a fairy-like medical skill. Could it be that this doctor is an immortal immortal?
The young man smiled and replied: These are just the superficial impressions of my teacher Hua Tuo. It’s a pity that you don’t have the chance to see him. He is the real medicine fairy!
But he also said to the leader who had improved: Shanyu had been ill for too long and the root of the disease was deep in the bone marrow. It was too late for me to come this time. After removing the pus today, Shanyu will relapse in two months. I'm afraid he will have to stay in bed by then.
I'm afraid it will be difficult. Shanyu can still delay making soup according to my prescription for two years. After two years, I will be unable to do anything.
All the officers and commanders under his command changed their expressions. Only the leader sighed and An Ran replied: Everyone has his own destiny. Being able to know when to die is already a gift from you. Compared with others who are panicked and don't know the time of death, I
I can say that I am very lucky and have nothing to complain about.
After the young man left, Kuitou rode his horse wildly in the mountains during the day, and at night he was accompanied by wine and singers. He indulged in sex all day long. The princes under his command were all very disappointed. They sighed and said: If Shanyu continues like this, when will Xianbei be able to do it again?
What about the recurrence? Two months later, pustules bulged up in Kuitou's waist. This time, as the young man said, he fell ill and lay completely on the couch with no sign of improvement.
The Han army happened to make a surprise attack at this time. When Fu Luo, the deputy guard of Juyang, went to Bin to see the enemy's situation, he was frightened by the thunderous military strength of the Han army. He was unable to send troops to stop it, and he did not have time to notify the Pingcheng court.
, allowing an army of 60,000 to surround Pingcheng smoothly like water. When the adults in Pingcheng saw the Han army under the city, they thought Juyang had been captured by the Han army, and they didn't know what to do.
Shan Yu was seriously ill at this time and could not command the various ministries, so he entrusted the affairs to his younger brother Bu Dugen. Bu Dugen inspected the city and saw the layout and plans of the Han army: the Han army
Divide into ten formations in front of the city, and dig deep trenches with mountains and flowing water at their backs. Instead of attacking, they use trenches to surround Pingcheng in a circle. Bu Dugen analyzed the commanders and said: "Juyang was not lost, but
It was bypassed by the Han army. The Han army was unable to defeat us quickly, so they wanted to trap us in an isolated city and then deal with the various tribes one by one."
Even if he guessed his intention, Bu Dugen was in the city and could not command the troops outside the city. The troops outside the city did not know the actual situation inside the city. It was impossible to win in this situation. The next day, he ordered Shuluo and Qi Guang to lead 300 troops.
Jia Qi broke through the siege and went to the outside of the city to command various ministries to come to the rescue. Shuluo Yu Qiguang was a well-known warrior, and Jia Qi had always been invincible on the battlefield. Logically speaking, they should have easily broken through the encirclement, but they left the city a little late, and the trenches outside the city were already closed.
Digging to a depth of three feet, although the armored cavalry is extremely powerful, their movement is limited and it is difficult to cross the three-foot trench. Even though they can move freely in the rain of arrows, no one can break out of the encirclement. These three hundred armored cavalry have no way out.
, we can only return to Pingcheng the same way.
The 20,000 defenders of Juyang were in a quarrel, and the commanders had different opinions. Some people said that they would attack the Han army from behind to rescue the Shan Yu from the city; some said that they would attack the grain road on the flank of the Han army to force the Han army to withdraw; others said that the enemy was a formidable enemy.
At present, we should put aside our prejudices and take a detour to Danhan Mountain to ask for reinforcements, and then fight to the death with the Han army. Many opinions were at odds. At this time, Hu Lü Najin stood up and said: "Six months ago, when Liu Bei released us, he made us swear not to surrender."
If we become enemies with him again, if we are captured again, we will be executed immediately. There are more than half of our comrades in the Battle of Shaling here, and the man's oath is still in our ears, how can we act against it?"
However, Shi Shi Lanchou rebuked him loudly and said: "That is just an expedient measure. When a man lives in this world, he should stand upright. Liu Bei made us make such an oath because he regarded us as villains and slaves and despised us."
How can we despise ourselves? It’s just one death, and the oath taken at that time was the humiliation of a warrior. You don’t think about how to wash away the humiliation, but are willing to be humble. This is really the behavior of a coward!"
These words won the approval of many people. Shi Shi Lanchou immediately encouraged them and said: "The defeat of Shaling was actually due to Su Liujin Heiqiao's impulsiveness and destruction of the fighter plane. We Xianbei warriors are the best at fighting. This time we will seize the opportunity and not fail.
Is it impossible for the Han army to collapse if he hesitates and pierces through the Han army like a surprise attack?" He persuaded most of the defenders in Juyang and rushed towards Pingcheng following the traces of the Han army.<
/p>
When they passed through Liuling Mountain, thirty miles south of Pingcheng, Zhang Fei had been lying in wait in the mountains for a long time. At this time, he led two thousand cavalry and suddenly rushed out. They were condescending, and the Xianbei sergeants were caught off guard. This army was originally trying to avenge Shi Lan.
They were temporarily gathered together. At this time, Zhang Fei made a slight attack, and the Xianbei commander became confused. Not long after, the Xianbei people at both ends fled for their lives. No one paid attention to their comrades who were fighting with the Han army. The victory or defeat was quick.
It was established that more than 3,000 casualties were lost in the battle of Xianbei.
When the Juyang garrison heard the news, they no longer dared to defend the city. Deputy Fuluo Qubin took the remaining 7,000 people and simply took the route of Youzhou, heading from Daijun to Tanhan Mountain to ask Jianman for help.
