This winter in Huguan is obviously not easy, but the one that is even worse is Lejin's troops outside the city.
Huguan was attacked, and Huguan City was naturally closed. All production and life were suppressed to the lowest limit. The atmosphere of the entire city was drowsy and depressing.
Although the Cao army camp outside the Huguan Pass seems to be very imposing, it actually gradually reveals fatigue as time goes by.
After the Huguan defenders supported Le Jin's three axes, Cao's army gradually became quiet. The Cao army generals led by Le Jin only routinely call under the city every day, and then conduct painless attacks. Both sides moved their muscles and bones and then retreated directly.
But everyone knows that this does not mean the end of the war, but rather, it means both sides are waiting for the final blow to come.
The cold winter in winter slows down the corruption of corpses, but even in the coldest climate, as long as a person dies, the internal organs will begin to corrupt within a few hours, especially the intestines...
Cao Jun simply dealt with the corpses close to his camp, but most of the corpses were piled under the city walls of Huguan Pass. Although tincture oil had been burned several times, those corpses that were not completely burned or half burned were corpses oil and stench of corpses complement each other.
This almost mixed together, like a solid decay, lingers on the bricks and stones of Huguan Pass, and then penetrates into it, like the greasy tabletops and chairs of street snack bars, which cannot be wiped clean even if wiped.
"Everyone wears a mask!" The team above Huguan inspected back and forth, "The doctor told me not to forget! Don't forget to get a bowl of filthy water to drink! If anyone has vomiting or diarrhea, report it truthfully! If the treatment is delayed, it will harm others and yourself! If you know or not, you will scream...
"I know everything!"
"clear!"
"squeak……"
In dealing with the plague, Hundred Medical Clinics have formed a complete set of relatively safe methods.
Of course, this is in winter, and there are fewer insects and other things, so simple governance is not a big problem. Once spring begins, these corpses will become paradises for insects, which will be even more troublesome. Now only primary means of defense against plague are needed.
The development of Chinese traditional medicine is actually very high. As for simple hemorrhoids, Zhang Zhongjing of the Han Dynasty had a prescription for treating hemorrhoids, and it was further improved in the Tang Dynasty. In the West, until Louis XV, it was still using red-burned iron rods to treat...
Inheritance is the core focus.
In the history of Chinese civilization, whether it is literature or medicine, whether it is agriculture or industry, there are contexts to follow, and corresponding evidence can be found, including records, cultural relics, and evidence in different directions. It can clearly see how the steps of Chinese civilization are moving forward step by step...
Fei Qian's wall hanging is naturally not among the five elements, but if there are too many other civilizations, it is hard to say.
After all, things that are individual, accidental, or cannot be verified, are difficult to support the entire huge civilization system.
Just like Fei Qian's development of gunpowder, he cannot rely on himself. He also needs to go from beneficiation to mining, to refinement and synthesis. If a little deviation is made, there will be problems.
Obviously, Shandong has not yet realized this, it is like it is also making gunpowder, but how did gunpowder come about?
There is no preliminary experiment, no basic knowledge, no corresponding discipline branches, no corresponding skilled production workshop...
So Cao's army couldn't hold on.
It is hard to support one's own way, even if Zhao Yan's troops are too strong, he will still be unable to conquer the Huguan Pass.
Le Jin also knew that he and Zhao Yan were waiting for new opportunities and new support points, and what Le Jin could not imagine was that the support he expected was already somewhat unable to support.
The stalemate in Huguan gradually showed some signs of loosening, and at the beginning, this trace was only a change of more than twenty people...
On the Taihang Mountain Road, Yan Rou and his team were more than twenty people, traveling from north to south.
The advantage of having few people in the mountains is that it is convenient to hide its whereabouts, but the trouble lies in the supply. A few people were damaged on the way, all of which were not treated because of their injuries, and the dry food had already been eaten.
The cold weather and lack of supplies made Yan Rou and others difficult to walk.
"Where are we going now?" someone asked.
"Go to Shangdang Huguan..." Yan Rou replied, then fiddling with the bow in his hand.
The bowstring is damp, so I can only remove it first and find a chance to dry it, otherwise it will be useless.
『But we are blocked now...』 Yan Rou wrapped her bow arm and 『I want to find an intersection to go over...』
Someone asked again, "What are Cao's army doing in this place?"
Yan Rou shook her head, "I don't know...but it won't be a good thing anyway..."
While speaking, someone suddenly called someone's name in a low voice. Yan Rou immediately paused and stood up to look over there. After a while, someone whispered: "Old stone is dead."
Stones, woods, dog eggs, and dogs are all cheap names.
The more humble the name, the more basic the wishes it contains...
Alive.
But even so, it is still rare.
Everyone around was silent.
Yan Rou was silent for a moment, then said: "Save the knife for him, take the others away..."
As a warrior, he lives, holds a knife, dies, and burys a knife.
"...Do you want to bury him?" Someone asked in a low voice.
Yan Rou was silent for a moment, shook her head, paused, and said, "Let me pile him a stone... The old stone, alive, like a stone, dead... still like a stone..."
Everyone did as they did.
They found some stones for the old stone, piled them next to the old stone, and then took away the old stone's bows and arrows and armor.
After a while, everyone continued to move forward.
In the same area, on the other end of the mountain road, more than a dozen Cao army scouts were also coming over the ridge.
Due to the cover of mountains, forests and rocks, both sides had not seen each other yet, but not long after, the forwards of both sides suddenly collided. They had no time to warn the people behind them, and they were already fighting in one place!
At this moment, Yan Rou was stunned for a moment, but for a moment, he suddenly threw away the debris in his hand, then took out the battle knife and rushed forward!
Yan Rou yelled as she jumped and ran in the fast mountain path, chanting: "How many people--"
Someone responded in front of him, "Yi Shi--"
"Be careful!!" Someone shouted again, and then an arrow shot from the ridge on one side.
Yan Rou rushed straight, her feet quickly jumping left and right on the rocks, like an antelope jumping in the mountains.
A Cao army scout was fighting with Yan Rou's men. He suddenly turned black in his gritted teeth. When he looked up, he saw Yan Rou had already pounced directly on the rock, and the sword shone like lightning!
"Kill!" The head was stormy with blood, spinning, and jumping high. Before he could fall, Yan Rou rushed out again, and blood flashed as the sword waving!
Yan Rou was like a tiger and leopard. After suddenly pounced into the flock of sheep, a bloody storm was raised!
Almost in a moment, after nearly half of the loss of Cao's scouts, the Cao's army scouts who were behind him turned around and fled without saying a word.
Yan Rou's men chased after him and tried to shoot with bows and arrows, but under the cover of the rocks and shrubs of the mountain road, the shooting vision was not very good, "Escaped three..."
Yan Rou wiped the blood from the sword on the scout Cao Jun, and then started to touch the body, "Look for everything, take away all the food and use! Is anyone injured?"
"The second son is injured!" Someone shouted.
Yan Rou ran over and looked at the injured.
『He...he...』The person pressing the injured person's abdomen was choked, 『The intestines were broken...』
『…』 Yan Rou was silent, like a stone.
The injured man raised his head, stared at Yan Rou, and said with difficulty: "Give me... Give me some pleasure..."
Yan Rou knelt down with her knees beside the injured person and hugged the injured person's head in her arms.
"Ah, my god of immortality... the warrior's soul... can rest in peace..."
Yan Rou sang a simple song and stabbed the sword into the injured person's chest. Then, after the injured person swallowed his last breath, he gently placed the injured person on the ground.
"Ah, my god of immortality... the warrior's soul... can rest in peace..."
The rest of the people surrounded the injured and sang in a low voice.
"Chief..." After a while, a man whispered, "We...what are we fighting? Why are we fighting for?"
The words war seem to make some people inexplicably excited when they speak, and they will clamor to make people's heads roll and blood flow into a river. But for those who are really on the battlefield, what does this war mean?
glory?
justice?
wealth?
Yan Rou was silent.
He suddenly remembered that he first joined the war just to repay his kindness.
Repay Liu Yu's kindness.
But now...
Is he still repaying Liu Yu's kindness?
Suddenly, Yan Rou felt an inexplicable feeling of fatigue and climbed into his heart.
『After fighting this time...』 Yan Rou raised her head and looked at her comrades around her, "Let's go back to the grassland and desert, ask for a grassland and sheep, and find some wives for everyone, so that the rest of her life can be peacefully... and take the heroes who died in battle all the way back to the desert together... OK?"
"good!"
"I don't want to fight anymore..."
"Go back to the desert, and after fighting this time, go back to the desert!"
Everyone seemed to be a little excited, while Yan Rou looked down at her hands.
There is the blood of the enemy and the blood of the comrades in his hands.
The blood has solidified and invaded the fingers, soaked into the folds of the skin, and seemed to be attached to the bones and penetrated into the bones...
War, it never knows what mercy is.
Whether it is a person who likes war or a person who hates war, whether it is powerful or weak, once it is swept into the vortex of war, you must try your best until you finally fall.
The same is true in Jiangdong.
Although the Jiangdong people tried very hard to avoid being affected by the war, the war between Feiqin and Cao Cao, who broke out north of the Yangtze River, still affected the Jiangdong people.
However, at the beginning of this impact, it was similar to positive.
As Cao Cao launched an attack on Heluo, the overall economy of Jiangdong became more prosperous for a period of time.
Some people know what this is, while others are chaotic and have no idea why it turned out like this. They also thought that Jiangdong could be safe and leave the war alone.
The subsequent changes were a fierce blow to the Jiangdong people!
When Jiangdong first advanced, it conquered many counties and townships on the Yangtze River, and once approached the front line to Sichuan and Sichuan, and the scenery was very beautiful for a while. However, this scenery soon stopped. As the war became more intense, the barbarians in Wuling area began to make trouble again and conquered many counties in Wuling County.
However, it is not the first time for Jiangdong that the Nanman Shanyue rebellion is that many Jiangdong people also sigh and scold, and then continue to do whatever they should do, and do not take the rebellion of Wulingman seriously at all.
After all, in the hearts of Jiangdong people, these Wuling Man is like seasonal allergic rhinitis. Although it will make Jiangdong people feel uncomfortable in a certain period of time, after this period, the symptoms will be reduced and then they will be the same as healthy people.
Compared with the rebellion of the Wuling Barbarians, more Jiangdong people were thinking about the price of food that suddenly stood in front of them like a huge wall!
Suddenly, the food was like wings growing, soaring upwards!
It was not until this moment that someone woke up. At the beginning, Jiangdong's economy was inexplicably prospering, and a large number of coins suddenly appeared on the market. Why...
Money is only valuable when you can buy things.
When Cao Cao and Fei had a potential Heluo war, trade activities would basically stagnate before the final result of the war came out. Because many farmers would be transferred to labor, transporting grain and grass to transport objects, it would inevitably lead to insufficient farming and shortage of food.
So Jiangdong is not short of money or food at present.
『Things are difficult...』
Sun Quan stood in front of the lintel of the window and sighed in a low voice.
Sun Quan, who returned to the political center, was filled with emotion.
Sun Quan said slowly, "When Yan Beizhan first came to the north, he was short of food and could not enter... Later, he often sighed as if there were food and grass, and he could determine the world... I couldn't help but sigh with regret... But now... it seems to be similar again...
『…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 said that they would have been able to settle in the Central Plains long ago. Whenever they think of this, Sun Quan was filled with regret. Now, Sun Quan once again encountered a choke in food problems.
Although Zhou Yu supported his plan to go out to Sichuan and Sichuan, he still kept his voice down.
Jiangdong is in peace, which is a complex issue.
From the beginning, Sun Jian killed the local prefect for authority for no reason, and lost his righteousness. Sun Ce was betrothed under 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 his loyalty again. Sun Quan was inappropriate in his position, and his brother died and his brother lost his kindness. At the same time, it was rumored that Mrs. Sun was angry to death by Sun Quan, so even filial piety could not stand...
How can such a regime that is unfaithful, filial, unkind and unrighteous, convince the Jiangdong gentry?
Although Sun Shiwan claimed to be the Great Emperor in the later period, his official position was actually the lowest among the Three Kingdoms. The title of the Great Emperor was just a self-deception, and it was difficult to be recognized by the gentry and the people in other regions.
In terms of economy, Jiangdong's development level is relatively low, which means that the overall foundation is relatively weak and cannot support large-scale soldiers' long-term combat, which is also an important reason for the weak attack in Jiangdong.
At the same time, due to the war in the Central Plains, refugees from the north fled to the south. These ordinary refugees were generally useless. On the one hand, these refugees promoted the development of the Jiangdong economy with cheap work, but on the other hand, cheap refugees also caused the Jiangdong natives to lose a large number of job opportunities, and conflicts between them were inevitable.
If Sun Quan had the courage to use cheap labor on a large scale, develop Jiangdong land on a large scale, and erode the territory of the Vietnamese barbarians, it would have solved some contradictions, but unfortunately, neither Sun Quan nor Zhou Yu, nor Zhang Zhao and Lu Su could have done it. Perhaps it was because he did not have such a vision, maybe he had seen it, but he did not do it, but no matter what, this led to many conflicts in Jiangdong, which were very complicated, which caused friction and conflict in all aspects of society.
The trivial things, the continuous pressure on all aspects, and the military stagnation and failure made Sun Quan almost breathless.
Zhou Yu is in poor health and has a big problem. Sun Quan cannot let Zhou Yu go to Chang'an, so now he can only let Zhou Yu recuperate as much as possible. This makes even if Sun Quan encounters problems now, he dare not bother Zhou Yu. If Zhou Yu is accidentally letting him die of hard work, then Jiangdong may not collapse immediately.
So Sun Quan could only consult Zhang Zhao.
There was nothing wrong with finding Zhang Zhao. After all, Zhang Zhao was responsible for the matter of people's livelihood, government affairs, food and grass logistics. But Zhang Zhao obviously could not betray his butt for Sun Quan...
"In the past, it was Yuan Gonglu who was doing his own desires. Today... it was not what he wanted, but the business of the market..." Zhang Zhao glanced at Sun Quan and ignored Sun Quan's increasingly ugly face. "The matter of purging food is what the people do, not being enemies of the lord."
Sun Quan held it in a stable voice as much as possible: "Since that is the case, would Mr. Zhang let the frontline soldiers endure hunger?"
