Chapter 67 0065【Allicin】

Stepping forward, the strong man with a square face cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang, for saving your life. This kindness must be remembered in Nie Dong's heart."

Han Zhen glanced at Wei Da who was not far away, and said with a half-smile: "Which manager is under the family?"

Earlier, he recognized Wei Dazheng as the horse seller a few days ago, but he didn't come forward to recognize him.

"A certain family was originally under the family of Mr. Xiaozhong's manager."

There was a hint of pride in Nie Dong's tone.

Han Zhen peeled the garlic, and asked in a casual tone: "You are under the three kinds of sects, why did you become a deserter?"

"Hey!"

Mentioning this, Nie Dong immediately looked angry, and said angrily: "It's not because of those dog officials. In April last year, I was recruited by the officials to conscript Liao. I was short of food and pay, but my brothers fought bravely, but their military achievements were inexplicably robbed."

"Brother Wei was so angry that he went to join the army to argue, but he was accused of disrespecting his superior and was beaten with a military stick instead. The brothers were so angry that they simply became deserters."

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month of last year, the Jin army captured Zhongjing, Liao Kingdom. Emperor Tianzuo fled away before the city was destroyed, fled westward to Yuanyangluo, and then fled westward all the way to Jiashan.

Under the constant slander and instigation of Wang Fu, Tong Guan, Cai You and others, Song Huizong felt that the time had come. Regardless of the opposition of Zhong Shidao, Zhao Long and other generals, on April 15, he appointed Tong Guan as the three-way Xuanfu envoy, and led [-] troops to the north to conquer Liao.

At that time, the Western Army had just gone through a great battle in the south and put down the Fang La rebellion, and people and animals were exhausted.

The [-] Western Army had no time to rest, so they went northward to conquer Liao without stopping.

Due to the hasty dispatch of troops, the logistical supplies could not keep up, resulting in a shortage of food and salaries for the soldiers of the Western Army.

Under the circumstances that the right time, place and people are not in harmony, coupled with Tong Guan's fragmented tactical command, the 15 Song army was beaten by the [-] Liao army led by Yelu Dashi, crying father and mother, throwing away their helmets and armor.

Thanks to Zhong Shidao who led the army to stop it outside Xiongzhou City, otherwise the 15 Song army led by Tong Guan would be wiped out.

This failure did not allow Song Huizong to recognize the reality.

After only a few short months, he felt that he was doing well again.

In August of the same year, Liao was conquered again, this time on a larger scale than the last one, with 50 people including civilian husbands.

The previous disastrous defeat made Tong Guan tremble with fear, and he was not in a hurry to attack, but Chen Bingxiongzhou.

Not to mention, the momentum of the 50-strong army really bluffed some generals of the Liao Kingdom. The general of the Liao Kingdom, Guo Yaoshi, led 8000 men from his troops to accept the surrender and offered Yi and Zhuo prefectures.

This unprecedented scene made the courtiers of the Northern Song Dynasty very happy.

In ecstasy, Tong Guan also forgot the lesson from last time, and ordered Liu Yanqing to lead [-] troops to attack Xijin Mansion in Nanjing.

Yelu Dashi didn't hesitate at all, and took the initiative to go out of the city to fight the Song army.

Guo Yaoshi proposed to lead a team of cavalry to bypass the main force of the Liao army and attack the empty Xijin Mansion by surprise. Liu Yanqing agreed and asked his son Liu Guangshi to lead the reinforcements as agreed.

It has to be said that Guo Yaoshi is indeed brave and resourceful.

Leading [-] generals, they successfully entered the Xijin Mansion and started street fighting with the defenders.

At this time, if Liu Guangshi's reinforcements arrive as scheduled, then after the Xijin Mansion is captured, the Song army will attack back and forth, and the Liao army will undoubtedly be defeated, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun will be recovered in one fell swoop.

After occupying the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, relying on the geographical advantages of Xiongguan, it may not be impossible to stop the Jin people from going south, and rewrite history from then on.

It's a pity that Liu Guangshi didn't give reinforcements because of his timidity.

Moreover, Liu Yanqing, who was on the frontal battlefield, failed to hold back the Liao army, allowing Yelu Dashi to easily lead his army back to assist Xijin Mansion, killing all [-] generals of Guo Yaoshi.

Immediately afterwards, Yelu Dashi played a trick to return the same way to him, led the army around and cut off the supply of the Song army's food road, and sent Qingqi to harass day and night.

As a result, before the Liao army really attacked, the Song army collapsed on its own.

The so-called 50 army was hunted down all the way, and the bones along the way piled up into mountains and blood flowed into rivers.

At this point, the Northern Song Dynasty completely lost the possibility of regaining the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and all the family business accumulated since Shenzong was wiped out.

The main force of the Western Army was destroyed, and countless equipment and horses were seized, which also made Wanyan Aguda firm in his ambition to go south.

The most ridiculous thing is that an idiot like Liu Guangshi actually became the four generals of ZTE in the Southern Song Dynasty who were as famous as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, ranking first among the seven kings.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the Great Song Dynasty, and the north and the south are in the same line.

……

Withdrawing his thoughts, Han Zhen asked curiously, "Why did you have a conflict with Shi Bao again?"

"So that Mr. Xiaolang would know that after I arrived at the foot of Songshan Mountain, that stone treasure would send people over and over again to solicit. I never thought that after being rejected, this thief became malicious and tried to catch us all in the name of going to a banquet."

Nie Dong answered truthfully, and helped peel the garlic with great eyesight.

Hearing this, Han Zhen asked pointedly, "What are your plans for the future?"

Nie Dong understood the implication of these words, but now he is not sure what Han Zhen's identity is, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "A certain family doesn't know, and Brother Wei has to make up his mind."

Knowing what he was thinking, Han Zhen revealed to himself: "My name is Han Zhen. I used to hang out in Linzi County. Later, I was framed by a corrupt official. I killed the official and went to the mountain in a fit of anger."

Her surname is Han, she is a rascal, and she is so brave...

Nie Dong looked surprised and said: "I don't know what is the relationship between Xiao Langjun and Han Chengjie?"

Among the three sects, no one knows Han Shizhong's name.

From a big soldier to Chengjielang step by step, he can be said to be the champion of the three armies.

Before Han Shizhong joined the army, he was also a villain in the countryside, so he got the nickname Po Han Wu.

The circumstances of the two are so similar, it's no wonder he asked this question.

Han Zhen shook his head and laughed, "It doesn't matter what a soldier and a bandit."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Nie Dong's eyes, and then he asked curiously, "What are you doing, Mr. Xiao Lang?"

"Heal the sick, heal the wounded!"

Han Zhen answered concisely.

Can eating garlic heal?

Nie Dong didn't believe it in his heart, but after thinking about it, it doesn't hurt to eat garlic anyway.

If it works, that would be a surprise.

Thinking of this, he said, "A few of Pao Ze from a certain family are seriously injured, can Mr. Xiao Lang give me some, so that my brothers can eat and heal their wounds."

Han Zhen shook his head: "This thing is not for eating."

"Not for food?"

Nie Dong was taken aback.

While talking, the basket of garlic was finally peeled off.

Han Zhen took a handful of peeled garlic cloves and put them in the mortar, then picked up the stone pestle to crush the garlic cloves.

Everyone gathered around, wanting to see how he healed his wounds with garlic.

When the garlic cloves were completely crushed, Han Zhen poured them into a bowl, and then added warm water to the bowl.

That's right, he's making allicin.

Allicin is a natural antibiotic, its bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect is no worse than that of penicillin, and it is completely harmless to the human body.

Allicin is very interesting. Whole garlic does not contain allicin.

Therefore, eating garlic raw directly will not have any effect.

Allicin can be produced only after the garlic is crushed and placed in air or warm water for more than 15 minutes to activate the alliinase in it.

The normal extraction of allicin requires a series of complex processes such as distillation and purification.

The method used by Han Zhen is a simplified version of the local method, which can also obtain allicin, but the dosage is very small.

But less is less, as long as you take it many times.

The most important thing is that people in this era have never taken any antibiotics, so there is almost no drug resistance.

Therefore, even a tiny dose of allicin must have a powerful effect.
