Soldiers come to the world

Liu Jing was taken aback, he only cared about Wenpin, but forgot about Cai Jin, he quickly asked, "Where is General Cai now?"

"Already in the cabin."

Liu Jing turned around and walked towards the cabin. Cai Jin was the only person in the Cai family who was close to him, and he was an important pawn in his hands. In Liu Jing's plan, Cai Jin would be the future head of the Cai family.

The key reason why Cai Yan can become the head of the Cai family and the prefect of Xiangyang now is because of his son Cai Jin.

After Liu Jing occupied Xiangyang, many generals, including Liu Hu, thought that there was no need to be so tolerant of the Cai family. They could use Cai Mao as an excuse to confiscate the land of the Cai family directly. Why do they have to make a deal with them?

Of course, it is really easy for him to destroy the Cai family, but the problem is, if he, Liu Jing, just wants to hang out in Jingzhou, it doesn't matter.But if he wants to go to Hanzhong, Bashu, Central Plains and Guanzhong, then who will support Liu Jing from a famous family with local resources and power?Killing the Cai family is equivalent to destroying Liu Jing's reputation.

Furthermore, Cai Mao was only loyal to the orthodox court, so what excuse did he have for calling him a rebel?

It is precisely because of the long-term consideration that Liu Jing can only use power-seeking means to pull the Cai family to his side, so at this time, Cai Jin must not have any accidents.

Liu Jing walked quickly into a cabin with lights on, and saw Cai Jin lying on a bed with his eyes closed, naked on his upper body, bruised all over his body, his face was extremely pale, and his breathing was weak. A military doctor He was busy treating his wounds.

"How is he?" Liu Jing stepped forward and asked.

The military doctor turned around and saw that it was Liu Jing. He was startled, and hurriedly said: "The bleeding has stopped. Now wash his wound and apply medicine to him, but...he is bleeding too much and is very dangerous."

"How sure are you of being rescued?" Liu Jing also asked a little nervously.

The military doctor sighed and said, "He survived only because of his strong body. An ordinary soldier would have died a long time ago. To be honest, it depends on whether he can sustain himself now. I'm not sure."

Liu Jing nodded, he understood what the military doctor meant, he had lost too much blood, and whether he could survive would depend on Cai Jin's own potential, but his breathing was so weak, as if he was about to die at any time, making Liu Jing's heart wrenching stand up.

Liu Jing left the cabin. At this time, the ship had already set sail and headed towards Xiakou on the opposite bank. Liu Jing walked slowly to the bow of the ship and stared at the sparkling river with his hands behind his back.

The night wind was blowing on his face, which made his mind very clear. If he was confident in defeating Cao Cao because of the previous victories, then Zhang Liao's thunderbolt attack this time made Liu Jing calm down.

Although there has been a great victory in Chibi in history, history has changed because of the arrival of Liu Jing. Cao Cao came with all his troops, will there be a victory in the battle from Chibi?

Not long after, the boat slowly approached Xiakou Wharf. The wharf was already crowded with cavalry and soldiers retreating from Anlu County. At this time, a soldier boarded the boat and reported to Liu Jing: " Please report to Zhou Mu that Governor Zhang of Changsha has come to ask to see Zhou Mu."

Liu Jing was immediately overjoyed. This is Zhang Ji, the prefect of Changsha County. I invited him to Jiangxia to prevent the plague a few days ago. I didn't expect him to come so timely. Cai Jin was saved.

"Hurry up and invite him aboard!" Liu Jing repeatedly ordered.

After a while, Zhang Ji followed a soldier onto the big ship, and laughed all the way: "I thought Zhou Mu was in Wuchang, but I didn't expect to come to Xiakou as well."

Liu Jing didn't have time to chat with him, so he grabbed him and walked towards the cabin, "General Cai Jin is dying, the prefect came just in time, help me save him."

"I was arrested as soon as I came!"

Zhang Ji was just joking, of course he would cure diseases and save lives, he quickly entered the cabin with Liu Jing, in the cabin, Cai Jin had already applied the wound medicine and covered him with a thin quilt.

"How is he now?" Liu Jing asked the military doctor.

The military doctor shook his head, "The breathing became weaker..."

He wanted to say that he might not survive tonight, but since Zhang Zhongjing came, he dared not say that. He also had a glimmer of hope in his heart, to see if Zhang Zhongjing could save Cai Jin.

Zhang Ji sat at the side, took Cai Jin's pulse for a while, frowned slightly and said, "Looking at his face, he lost quite a lot of blood. Someone who should have died a long time ago still has a pulse, which shows that God will not kill him."

Liu Jing's voice suddenly sparked a glimmer of hope, "What does the prefect mean, can he still be saved?"

Zhang Ji smiled slightly, "There is only a [-]% certainty, if he can survive tonight, there will be no problem."

Zhang Ji immediately prescribed a prescription and handed it to the military doctor, "According to this prescription, take the medicine and torment it. One prescription will only make one soup, and give him a drink every hour."

After the military doctor made the prescription, he saw that it was filled with common medicines for nourishing blood and strengthening the foundation, but the combination was extremely ingenious, which made him admire. He secretly wrote down the prescription and walked out quickly.

Zhang Ji took out another pair of golden needles, carefully needled Cai Jin, and said with a smile to Liu Jing, "It's not enough to rely on just one prescription, but also to stimulate his inner vitality, and a two-pronged approach will be effective."

Liu Jing agrees with this statement, the human body has great potential, if it can be stimulated, it is really unimaginable, he has a deep understanding.

At this time, Zhang Ji pondered for a while and said: "Before Zhou Mu came back, I treated more than 15 wounded people on the pier, and [-] of them died from excessive blood loss. They will not die at all, and after a few months of recuperation, they will be able to go to the battlefield alive and well, has Zhou Mu ever considered how to save the lives of these wounded soldiers?"

Liu Jing thought for a while and said, "I'm thinking of setting up field ambulance soldiers. Their task is to carry the wounded and not participate in the battle, so that they can rescue the injured soldiers in time and save their lives to the greatest extent."

"The state pastor has a good idea, but I also have a suggestion, or a method that can effectively reduce the number of soldiers who were injured and died."

Liu Jing was very interested immediately, and hurriedly said: "Teacher, please tell me!"

"It's actually very simple. The state shepherd can equip each soldier with a simple medical bag. It doesn't need to be too big. It can be carried behind the back. There are gauze and a few hemostatic ointments inside. When the soldiers are injured, they can rescue them by themselves, or Ask your companions to help, so that you won’t suffer from massive blood loss and die.”

The method proposed by Zhang Ji is actually not difficult, but it will increase the cost of the war and the cost of raising troops, and the cost of failure and replacement will be even greater, so the superiors are generally reluctant to consider it.

This is actually a matter of concept. If the superior regards soldiers as the most precious wealth, he will adopt this method. Unfortunately, most of the superiors in history regard soldiers as worthless and only consider their war effectiveness. And he will never consider the cost of recuperating the wounded soldiers, because Zhang Ji himself is a doctor, so he has such compassionate thoughts.

Zhang Ji was a little nervous. He had proposed this plan to Liu Biao before, but it was unanimously rejected by his senior ministers during the discussion.

Because it costs too much, a medical kit costs at least 1000 yuan, and [-] Jingzhou soldiers will cost [-] million yuan, and it needs to be replaced every year. Jingzhou can't afford it. Bing, I couldn't help but have another glimmer of hope in my heart.

Seeing that Liu Jing was silent, he thought he was reluctant, so he took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out two pills of walnut-sized elixir, his whole body was crimson, and smiled at Liu Jing: " This elixir is called Baoming Pill. It is a hemostatic and anti-inflammatory wound medicine that I have prepared in the past two years. It is composed of thirteen common herbs. When using it, one pill is chewed and swallowed, and the other pill is chewed and applied to the wound to stop bleeding. The wound treatment is very effective and very cheap, the two pills plus the bottle only cost [-] yuan, and the medicine will be effective within two years."

Liu Jing picked up the two pills, smelled them, and there was a faint fragrance, so he nodded and said: "You can do an experiment first, if it is really effective, I will immediately deploy it on a large scale, just like the eunuch's suggestion, give each Each soldier is equipped with a medical kit to minimize the death of wounded soldiers."

Zhang Ji didn't expect Liu Jing to agree so quickly, he was moved in his heart, got up and bowed deeply, "It's the blessing of the Jingzhou soldiers that the state shepherd can consider the soldiers!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

In another cabin, Liu Jing convened more than a dozen generals to discuss the situation in Anlu County. Although Zhang Liao led his army to occupy Anlu County, Liu Jing decided not to counterattack for the time being. After all, Cao Jun, who is about to arrive in Fancheng, is their real enemy. .

"Generals, tomorrow I will go to Xiangyang to inspect the transfer of the people. The water and road armies are still commanded by General Gan Ning and General Wei Yan. In addition, General Wenpin's troops are also under the temporary management of General Wei."

Gan Ning and Wei Yan stood up and saluted at the same time, "The general will obey!"

Liu Jing said again: "When I'm not around, you must fully follow Mr. Jia's advice, and you are not allowed to act without Mr. Jia's permission."

Gan Ning and Wei Yan agreed at the same time, while Jia Xu brushed his beard and smiled without saying a word. Although he has no position in the army, everyone knows that Jia Xu is the de facto military adviser.

At this time Liu Jing took out the pills given by Zhang Ji, and said Zhang Ji's suggestion again. There was a whisper in the lobby. If Xu Shu and other civil officials were present, they would definitely calculate the cost first and then consider the expenditure, but most of the people sitting there As a general, he will consider the interests of the soldiers. Everyone agrees, and they can't wait to implement it tomorrow.

Liu Jing smiled again: "Actually, I also thought of a plan. For example, each army should be equipped with a medicine box to store more medicines. Is this better than each soldier being equipped with a small medicine bag?"

Wei Yan shook his head and said: "Zhou Mu doesn't know much about the soldiers at the bottom. I do. When a battle is won, maybe everyone will stay together. If the battle is defeated, or if they are ambushed at night, everyone will save their own lives at that time. , It’s a mess, where can the wounded soldiers find a medical kit, they have to rely on themselves to save their lives!”

Gan Ning also interjected: "General Wei is right. It is not safe to entrust your life to others. You have to rely on yourself at critical times. I also support the use of medical kits. In addition, I suggest that every soldier learn how to save himself." Skills, know some common herbs."

At this time, Liu Jing looked at Jia Xu again, "What's your opinion, sir?"

Jia Xu chuckled, "I don't have any opinion, if financial resources allow, it's not a bad thing."

Of course, Liu Jing has considered financial resources. A medical kit costs about 300 yuan, and [-] soldiers are only [-] million yuan, which can be spent from the money sold for kerosene.

"Then it's decided!" Liu Jing finally made up his mind.
