Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 363
Reflecting the snow light, the night is not very dark.The army slaughtered a few sheep, boiled them in a pot, and served wine to Wang Xiaohun and others.

Cui Qing held a large basin and put it on the table.He said: "The sheep here is a kind of white goat, which is only produced in the mountains in this area. I heard that the one in Lu's is the best. The taste of the meat is particularly delicious, and the sheepskin is especially good, which is not as good as other places. I will buy it for Zhenfu. I have a few of them, and I will find a skilled craftsman to make a robe in a few days. The mountains can’t compare to those outside the mountains, and the winter is extremely cold.”

Wang Xiaolie looked at Cui Qing and said, "In the army, I will wear whatever the soldiers wear. Don't make up your own mind."

"No, no." Cui Qing backed away while smiling.

After drinking a few sips of wine, Zhai Xing said: "This winter is extremely cold. There is less rain in summer, more rain in autumn, and the harvest of autumn grain is also poor. It is also difficult for me to raise soldiers in the village. This year, they are allotted to the Luohe Valley, and each farms separately."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The weather is good in the south of the mountain, and there is no shortage of food and grass there. The town is short of food, and I will order someone to send some."

Zhai Xing shook his head: "It's not easy to cross the mountain? You send a stone of grain, and the road will cost two stones. It's not worth it. I have fewer soldiers and horses. I just open some land in the valley, and the grain produced is enough to eat."

Wang Xiaolie nodded.He also said: "I don't know how the harvest is in Shanzhou and Guozhou. Jin's army of tens of thousands attacked Guozhou and spent a lot of food, mainly relying on local collection. If the food and grass cannot be collected, they will not be around for long."

Zhai Xing said: "In the first battle of Fuping, Zhang Shu concentrated the savings of Sichuan and Shaanxi for several years, which made it easier for the Jin army. At least for a year or two, the Jin army will not be short of food. It is nothing more than collecting some strong people from Guanzhong and transporting them to Guozhou. .”

Speaking of the first battle in Fuping, Wang Xiaolie also sighed.Zhang Junzhi has great talents, and he performed vividly in the first battle of Fuping. The 20 army, due to unfavorable integration, actually fought independently, and did not form a joint force.Zhang Jun was too conceited, and Qu Duan was dismissed before the war, and his command was weak.After the failure, he was eager to shirk responsibility, executed and dismissed many generals, causing everyone to feel insecure.The Jin army attacked fiercely, and a large number of Song troops surrendered.

Basically, Song Jun's own faults were the cause of the failure.But when it comes to the specific analysis of the battle, Zhang Jun's responsibility cannot be shirked.The superposition of the two led to the rapid fall of Shaanxi after the First World War in Fuping.

After discussing the war for a while, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Zhongmin: "The doctor has a long-standing reputation, and the imperial court sincerely invites you. I don't know why he refuses to become an official?"

Wang Zhongmin said: "I am originally a grasslander, and what I do is what citizens should do, not for official positions."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie didn't know how to answer.To be honest, Wang Xiaolie didn't understand people like Wang Zhongmin.This kind of people who don't want to be an official, but worry about the country and the people, have always existed no matter in ancient times or in modern times.However, he was called a hermit in ancient times and was respected by the court and the people.In later generations, there will be tens of thousands of incarnations, but there is no unified title.In other words, in later generations, the mainstream does not pay attention to such people at all.

After a long time, Wang Xiaolie said: "Being an official is a fortune for many people. When a man is alive, he should do something and not do something. This kind of wealth is not for some people." It doesn't matter. For some people, it even tarnishes their own innocence. Just like Tao Yuanming, Mr. Wuliu, who refused to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, passed down from generation to generation—"

Hearing this, Wang Zhongmin had a half-smile, took a sip of the wine, and didn't answer.

Wang Xiaolie knew that Wang Zhongmin made fun of what he said, but he was just embarrassed to express it.

Smiled embarrassedly.Wang Xiaolie said again: "Actually, I don't understand why the doctor doesn't want to become an official. It's naturally unpleasant to speculate. However, I think there is always a reason. I don't want to care about the reason, and of course I don't care. It's just that I heard people say that the doctor's family has practiced medicine for generations, and he is also very skilled in treating wounded soldiers just now."

Zhai Xingdao: "The Wang family has practiced medicine for generations, not only in Yingyang, but also in the whole Henan province."

Wang Xiaolie said: "So that's the case. I was born in Ruzhou, a farmer's son. I don't have much experience, but I haven't heard of it. Don't blame the doctor. What I want to say is that the doctor has made several suggestions for the crime of the gold captives in the south. Writing to the imperial court, it can be seen that I care about the people of the world. Now I rebel and vow to expel the Jinlu from the Central Plains. After several years, fortunately, the people around responded."

Wang Zhongmin nodded, clasped his hands and said, "The kindness of Zhenfu is praised by all the people!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "When you fight in battle, casualties are inevitable. Those of us who serve in the army die as soon as they die. For the country and the people, what can we say? There are also those who were injured. They could be saved, but there is no famous doctor to treat them. , and lost his life, I feel that it is a pity. Since the doctor has a heart for the people of the world, it is better to go to our army and lead the doctors to treat the injured soldiers. To be honest, I have paid a lot of attention in the past two years, and I have invited many doctors in the army. Although they worked hard, most of them had limited medical skills, and many soldiers lost their lives because they were not treated in time. I saw doctors' medical skills just now, and none of the doctors in our army can match them. If the doctors can be taught by the doctors, they will definitely benefit from it."

After hearing this, Wang Zhongmin looked at Wang Xiaolie again, and it was a little different from just now.Especially that sentence, if you die, you will die, the tone is flat, but it reveals a kind of firmness.That's right, when you go to battle, you must first see through life and death.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Wang Zhongmin said: "Since Zhenfu sincerely invites you, I can't refuse. I heard that Zhenfu wants to go north to rescue Li Jinglue, so I will stay with the army and do my best. There is something useful. , naturally try my best!"

Wang Xiaohun was overjoyed.He raised his wine glass and drank it down with Zhai Xing and Wang Zhong.

After thousands of years, Wang Xiaolie certainly knows the importance of military doctors.Not long after he mastered the army, he paid attention to this matter, thinking of establishing a military doctor system similar to that of later generations.It's just that the knowledge is limited, and there is no understanding of medical skills, and a complete system has not been built.There are quite a few doctors in the military now, but each has their own strengths.It is possible to establish a clinic, but it is really impossible for doctors accompanying the army.Wang Xiaolie thought about establishing a medical school, but he couldn't figure out a system for medical skills. He has been preparing for it, but it hasn't been completed yet.

Zhai Xing watched and could only sigh inwardly.He started his army earlier than Wang Xiaolie, had a higher official position than him, and had a greater reputation than him. He did not expect that Wang Xiaolie would be where he is today in two years.Now the forces in this area, no matter whether it is more than soldiers or money, none of them can be stronger than Wang Xiaolie.Most of the time, other people can only look at Wang Xiaolie's face.Fortunately, Wang Xiaolie is a generous person and will not embarrass others.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Xiao said, "Yiyang is to the east of the Lu family, and the Jin army will not be able to reach it for a while. If Li Yanxian agrees to withdraw to the Lu family, the most important person in this battle will be Dong Dong in the east." First. He strangled the valley of the Luo River, rejected Meng Bangxiong from the west, and cut off contact with the Jin army. If something happened to Dong Xian, the Jin army from Guozhou joined forces with Meng Bangxiong to attack Lu from east to west, and things would be difficult."

Zhai Xing said: "After we arrive at Lu's in two days, I will write a letter to Mr. Dong, asking him to guard the territory!"

Wang Xiaolie raised his glass: "Although the Jin army is powerful, as long as we are sincere and united, we will be able to defend the Lu family. As long as there is still territory and people, one day we will be able to regroup and restore the Central Plains!"
