Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 96

Wang Zhongsi didn't know that Fang Chongyong went to the medical clinic in Liangzhou City for diagnosis and treatment because of riding a horse.Immediately he will be the vanguard, leading the Chishui Army to launch a strategic counterattack against the Tubo Army south of Liangzhou!

Moreover, even Guo Ziyi and the fifty Chishui Army soldiers assigned to Fang Chongyong returned to the original Chishui Army order, preparing to make contributions in the counterattack against the Tubo Army.

Then, just as Wang Zhongsi was about to lead his troops to Dadou Bagu, he received a letter from Baitinghai sent by Fang Chongyong in Chiwu Town, where the Chishui Army was stationed.

After reading the letter, Wang Zhongsi realized that the matter was of great importance. He didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly came to Liangzhou to meet Cui Xiyi, the governor of Hexi.After reporting the situation, forward Fang Chongyong's letter.

Cui Xiyi read the letter, and urgently recruited Kang Taihe, the military envoy of the Great Fighting Army, Xiao Jiong, the deputy envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and others to the Hexi Jiedu Mansion to discuss counterattacks against Tubo.

Although Fang Chongyong is a layman in war, but this time he raised a problem that many people have noticed long ago, but they have never understood it, and proposed a solution.

Not only did Wang Zhongsi not dare to neglect his letter, but even Cui Xiyi and the others had serious expressions on their faces, and even Xiao Jiong, who had been trying to tear things apart and had trouble with Cui Xiyi, closed his crowed mouth.

"Let's talk about it."

In the lobby of Hexi Jiedu Mansion, Cui Xiyi praised the letter written by Yang Fang Chongyong and handed it to everyone in the lobby for circulation.

In the letter, Fang Chongyong put forward a theory, which is indeed what it is.In fact, there have been rumors in the market for a long time, but they are not as specific as what he said.

Fang Chongyong said in the letter: There is energy in the world, and people cannot live without energy.Qi is divided into yin and yang, and people are born with yang qi, and the circulation in the body is endless.

This point, whether it is the Jiedu envoy present or the leading general, can all understand what it means.

If you pinch your nose and don't breathe, you will die in an instant?It is common sense that people are born with yang energy, and anyone who refuses to accept it can demonstrate it on the spot.

The letter added:

Regardless of China and foreign countries, the terrain is divided into high and low, and the energy of yin and yang is also divided into dense and thin.Low places have more yang energy, and humans and animals can live and reproduce endlessly; high-rise places have less yang energy, and it is difficult for humans and animals to survive.

Tubo lives on the rooftops, towering into the clouds.When the Tang army went from a low place to a high place, the yang energy changed from thick to thin, and the soldiers were all suffocated. It was difficult to gain a foothold, how could they fight against a strong enemy?
But Tubo entered Hexi from the ridge of the roof, from high to low, the yang energy changed from thin to strong, and its soldiers seemed drunk.Therefore, when Tubo soldiers entered Hexi, they often fought wildly and refused to listen to the dispatch, and they often suffered defeats.

Therefore, when the Tang Dynasty counterattacks against Tibet, it is not appropriate to use more troops. If there are too many troops, the soldiers will be mixed, which will drag down the whole army.

It is advisable to choose a strong and strong army under the age of 20. The soldiers are expensive and the elite are not expensive, and supplemented with the medicines commonly used in the Tubo army, it can minimize the impact of thin yang.

In short, Fang Zhongyong didn't say any nonsense in the letter, and the whole article revolved around the incident of "thin yang energy on the plateau" to illustrate the danger of taking the initiative to attack.

People like this kind of people who only give suggestions and don't give orders blindly.Everyone has no ill feeling towards Fang Chongyong's actions, the question now is: whether to adjust the deployment according to Fang Chongyong's suggestion, or act according to the original plan.

It doesn't matter who makes the suggestion. Anyway, he is not the leader of the army, and he is not in his position.But whether it is the Hexi Jiedu envoy here or the Chishui army envoy, how can these things be regarded as non-existent?

If you are not careful, you will die!

"The three armies are all in order and are about to go out. Now it is said that the elite will be re-elected... Is this appropriate?"

Kang Taihe was the first to stand up against him.

The establishment of the Tang army is very complicated. Every time we go out to fight, we don't just pull the army out to fight and we're done.There is a problem of "organization" here. Only the army that has been organized can go out from the station.

The Tang army obviously has the difference between "marching formation" and "battle formation".

That is to say, some people march together when going out, but when they actually fight, they are likely to fight with soldiers of the same army but different sequences.

In addition, when stationed at the station, there are other arrangements for daily training and guarding.Usually, a general has several badges, and he assumes the position according to the occasion.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the set of teams such as the Marching General Manager, Marching Manager, Sub-General Manager, etc. were all establishments for daily training of garrison and marching, rather than combat establishments.

They are closely related to the dispatch and disbandment of Fubing.With the gradual disintegration of the fubing system, these names were gradually forgotten in the classics.

On the contrary, the combat formations such as "Jiedushi", "Bingmashi" and "Ten Generals" have gradually become daily formations because of the establishment of the Jiedushi system.

Now whether it is the Dadou Army or the Chishui Army, they have all completed the "combat formation".Who will go out, who will stay behind, and the order of the army's operations have also been determined.If they are reorganized, when will it be troublesome?
The Dadou Army has a full strength of 500 people, and the Chishui Army has a full strength of 3000 people. Every formation is not a small matter. It is not like the Baiting Army with more than 1000 people who can be pulled out to fight!
But if a nine-year-old child writes something, he has to let the army re-work it. Isn't it too much?

Kangtai and Zhaowu were born with nine surnames. His family is very important in Hexi, and also has connections in Chang'an Central. His words cannot be ignored.

Cui Xiyi frowned slightly, Kang Taihe only took care of the first army, he didn't think that deeply, it's human nature to be afraid of trouble.

Cui Xiyi thought about everything himself, but he didn't want to act recklessly.Once this battle is defeated, his Hexi Jiedushi will be over.

The Tang army is different from Tubo. Once the Tang army is dispatched, it will take over the new territory!It will not be the same as the Tubo army, who will give away the head directly when they go.

Different strategic goals require different considerations.Cui Xiyi felt that although Fang Chongyong was young, his suggestion was well-founded and should not be taken lightly.

"What does the Wang Jun envoy think? Fang Canjun is your son-in-law, and he does not shy away from his relatives, so you should evaluate this matter."

Cui Xiyi said in a deep voice.

All eyes were on Wang Zhongsi.

"Military Kang has been in Gyeonggi and Fufeng for a long time, so he doesn't know much about the situation in Tubo."

Wang Zhongsi continued slowly:
"Every time we fight against Tubo, if it's on our own territory, it's not bad. But once we go deep into the territory of Tubo and enter the plateau, the soldiers generally feel that a big stone is pressed against their chests, and they can't exert all their strength.

What's more, after entering the territory of Tubo, it is very common for soldiers in the army to experience dizziness, convulsions, and chest pains. The older the soldiers, the more difficult it is to adapt.A certain person has witnessed these things with his own eyes, and even saw a frail person die before his eyes.

It's just that I didn't know why in the past, and some ignorant people falsely said that the Tubo people used black magic to disturb the morale of the army.Now that I see this letter, I can say that I know myself and the enemy.If you don't know these reasons, then march recklessly.Now that the facts are in front of our eyes, if we can't take precautions, what's the difference from killing soldiers? "

Wang Zhongsi pointed out that Kang Taihe was afraid of trouble and disregarded the lives of the soldiers, which made the face of the Dadou Army envoy turn red and white.He lowered his head and said nothing.

"Fang Chongyong himself has an official position. Whether he joins the army in the state government or the deputy envoy of the Baiting Army, it is logical to participate in the decision-making of military aircraft. Why don't you call him to Hexi Jiedu Mansion to ask for clarification?"

Xiao Jiong, who had been silent all this time, said something human this time.

Fang Chongyong is in Hexi, isn't it all over if he pulls him over and asks?
"That's fine, that's what the commander has in mind this time."

Cui Xiyi nodded slightly and said.

"It's just that Baiting's army is stationed more than 200 miles away from Liangzhou City. It's inconvenient to go back and forth. When he comes to Liangzhou City, won't he delay the dispatch of troops again?"

Cui Xiyi was a little hesitant.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Xiao Jiong sneered and teased:

"A certain person went to a medical clinic in Liangzhou city yesterday to look for medicine. I heard that a deputy envoy of the Baiting army had worn out his inner legs from riding a horse, and his flesh was bloody. He was recuperating in that medical clinic.

Besides the nine-year-old boy, who else could be the deputy envoy of the Baiting Army who can't ride a horse? "

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Riding a horse until your legs were bruised and bloody?This kind of thing is... too far away for them.

There are countless people in Datang who can ride horses, and there are also many people who have this experience.But usually, learning to ride a horse is done step by step, the first time you don't ride very far, and you don't wear your thighs because of this.

Anyway, the inner thighs always have calluses, just take it slowly, there is no need to make yourself unable to walk for the first time!
It seems that this Fang Yanei has a strong background and a good background. Although he is very intelligent, he is still a child after all!
If not a child, who could make such a common-sense mistake?

Cui Xiyi held back his laughter, and suddenly looked at Xiao Jiong with a serious face and asked: "Deputy Jieshuai Xiao is looking for medicine? May I ask what kind of medicine it is? But is there any hidden secret? This section commander is quite familiar with the situation in Hexi. My colleagues also know the scenery of Hexi very well.

Why don't you talk about it and let everyone refer to it for details, maybe we will know that there is a solution? "

For this Xiao Jiong, Cui Xiyi didn't want to be polite at all, and he would use eye drops when he found an opportunity.

"Hehe, Hexi is busy with military affairs, and Cui Jieshuai takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day. It's so hard. I don't need to worry about such a small matter, I will take care of it myself."

Xiao Jiong sneered, then changed the subject very abruptly, not wanting to delve into it further.

Although he did this, he always felt that everyone's eyes seemed to be a little ambiguous and playful, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"How about this, send someone to carry Fang Canjun from the hospital to discuss important matters, and be careful on the way."

Cui Xiyi ordered an aide beside him.

……

In a certain wing of the hospital, Fang Chongyong was sitting on the bed, watching Anaye's small hands applying plaster on his inner thighs with a blank expression, sighing silently in his heart.

Xiangyan is not at all, but full of embarrassment.

A [-]-year-old girl smearing a nine-year-old boy's thigh with medicine is beyond words.

"You are Hu Ji, why do you know so much about medicine?"

Fang Chongyong asked pretending to be calm.

"Because my father is a medical officer, he was ordered to go on an expedition with the army. He usually runs a medical clinic in Liangzhou City. I just help him all the time."

Anaye didn't feel embarrassed at all, while skillfully applying the ointment, she answered Fang Chongyong's question casually.

She answers Fang Chongyong's questions in a timely manner and is generous.

Anaye's face is enough to meet the standard of "entertaining people with sex", but judging from her figure, she is not at all suitable for an orchid, with a flat front and a flat back.It is useless to have long arms and long legs. In this era, orchids are aesthetically pleasing, and there is only one thing that is "thin waist and rich buttocks".

And according to Anaye herself, she has no talent at all in singing and dancing and is not worth practicing at all.

On the contrary, she inherited her father's medical talent. She learned Chinese medicine very quickly from elementary school, only knowing Chinese characters but not other languages ​​in the Western Regions.

His father was a Chinese medicine officer in the Tang Dynasty army, and his mother was an Orchid from the Western Regions. This combination seems to be very common in Hexi.Hu Ji can only join the lower class, but if their next generation does well, they can join the military.Therefore, Anaye will not be Hu Ji in the future, but will "inherit his father's legacy" and become a medical officer in the army on the west side of the river.

This is one of the few good outlets for people from the Western Regions in Hexi, and her father had planned this since she was born.

"Do you plan to stay in Hexi for the rest of your life? In Liangzhou City?"

Fang Chongyong asked curiously.

"Otherwise? Mr. Xiao Lang has an extraordinary status, probably because he doesn't know the helplessness of people like us? He is a soldier in Hexi, so he will be a soldier in Hexi for the rest of his life. With a medical skill, he is already much better than ordinary people. "

Anaye sighed and said that she had already treated Fang Chongyong's wound.

Fang Chongyong's current situation is a trivial matter, but it's just a scratch on the inner thigh and bleeding.

But if it is not treated properly and the wound becomes infected, it will be a big deal.He died accidentally. There had never been such an unlucky person before.

"The medical officers of the Tang Dynasty all have to pass the assessment before they can take office. Your father may have passed the assessment, but have you also experienced it?"

Fang Chongyong asked a question that Anaye kept in his heart, but never asked.

"Military status only means that if something happens in the border town, you have to join the army. It does not say that you must be allowed to practice medicine in the army! It is common for military families to farm for their entire lives. It is not impossible for you to inherit your father's business. But getting a license to practice medicine is a big deal that has to be done.

Besides, to do this, I'm afraid I have to go to Chang'an. "

Fang Chongyong told a cruel fact about being a medical officer in Datang!
The reason why Anaye grew up smoothly was that she had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child.That's because her father is a "medical officer", and the medical officer recruited by the army eats national meals.Opening a medical clinic is a side job, and eating imperial food is the main job.Because of her connections in the army, her father is hard at both hands, so now he is doing well in Liangzhou City.

In the future, Anaye can only be a "doctor" with military status, and her income can only come from practicing medicine.To become a medical officer, not to mention how many female medical officers there are in Datang, she must have the status of her father, at least she can go to the "Tai Medical Office" to study, and only after she graduates and gets a license can she have a wider space.

"Going to Chang'an? It's so far away..."

Anaye murmured in a low voice. The small thoughts in her heart and the confident future seemed to become confusing.

"Fang Jun, Cui Jieshuai has an invitation. I have to go to the Hexi Jiedu Mansion for some important business."

At this moment, a strange voice came from outside the door.

"Go ahead, it's okay."

Anaye sighed unhappily and said.
