Chapter 304 Night Talk

Reflecting the light of the snow, the night was not very dark. The army slaughtered a few sheep, cooked them in a pot, and served them to Wang Xiaolie and several of his men.

Cui Qing held a big basin and put it on the table. He said: "The sheep here are a kind of white goat. They are only produced in the mountains in this area. I heard that the ones from Lu's place are the best. The meat tastes particularly delicious, and the sheepskin is especially good."

, not as good as other places. I bought a few for Zhenfu, and I will ask a skilled craftsman to make a robe in a few days. The mountains are not as good as outside, 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 your own decisions."

"No, no." Cui Qing smiled and stepped back.

After taking a few sips of wine, Zhai Xing said: "This year's winter is extremely cold. There is less rain in summer and more rain in autumn. The autumn grain harvest is also poor. It is also difficult to raise soldiers in my village. This year, we have been assigned to the Luo River Valley and we are all working in the fields."

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

Zhai Xing shook his head: "Crossing the mountain is not easy. If you send one stone of grain here, it will cost you two stone on the way, which is not worth it. I have few soldiers and horses. I can just open some land in the river valley and the grain produced will be enough to eat."

Wang Xiaolie nodded. He added, "I don't know how the harvest is in Shaanzhou and Guozhou. The Jin soldiers attacked Guozhou with an army of tens of thousands, which cost a lot of food. They mainly relied on local collection. If they can't collect food and grass, they won't be able to besiege for long.

"

Zhai Xing said: "In the battle of Fuping, Zhang Shumi concentrated several years' savings from Sichuan and Shaanxi and completely took advantage of the Jin army. At least for one or two years, the Jin army will not be short of food. It is nothing more than recruiting some strong people from Guanzhong and transporting them to Guozhou.

.”

Speaking of the Battle of Fuping, Wang Xiaolie also sighed. Zhang Jun's great ambition and talent were clearly demonstrated in the Battle of Fuping. Due to the unfavorable integration of the 200,000-strong army, they actually fought separately and did not form a joint force. Zhang Jun was too conceited.

, he dismissed Qu Duan from his post before the war, and his command was poor. After the failure, he was eager to shirk responsibility and executed many generals. He dismissed many generals, causing everyone to be in danger. The Jin army attacked fiercely, and a large number of Song troops surrendered.

Fundamentally speaking, the Song Army's own shortcomings were the cause of the failure. But when it comes to the specific analysis of the campaign, Zhang Jun's responsibility cannot be shied away from. The two combined together 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 been famous for a long time, and the court sincerely invites him. I don't know why he refuses to serve?"

Wang Zhongmin said: "I am a commoner in the mountains and grasslands, and what I do is what citizens should do. I am not doing it for official positions."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie didn't know how to answer for a moment. To be honest, Wang Xiaolie didn't understand people like Wang Zhongmin. People who don't want to be officials but still worry about the country and the people, whether in ancient times or modern times, have always been

They all exist. However, in ancient times, they were called hermits and were respected by the court and the people. In later generations, they incarnated into thousands of people, but there was no unified title. In other words, in later generations, the mainstream did 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. Such wealth is not for some people.

It’s not important. For some people, it even stains their innocence. Just like Tao Yuanming, Mr. Wuliu, who refused to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, and it has been passed down from generation to generation——"

After hearing this, Wang Zhongmin smiled half-heartedly, picked up the glass and took a sip of wine without answering.

Wang Xiaolie knew that his words made Wang Zhongmin laugh, but he was too embarrassed to show it.

Smiling sheepishly, Wang Xiaolie added: "Actually, I don't understand why the doctor doesn't want to serve as an official. Just guessing will naturally make people unhappy. However, I think there is always a reason. I don't want to care about any reason.

, of course, I can’t care about it. I just heard someone say that the doctor’s family has been practicing medicine for generations, and he was very skilled in treating the injured soldiers just now.”

Zhai Xing said: "The Wang family has practiced medicine for generations and is very famous not only in Yingyang, but also in the entire Henan Prefecture."

Wang Xiaoxing said: "That's it. I was born in Ruzhou and am a farmer. I don't know much, but I have never heard of it. Doctor, don't blame me. What I want to say is that when the Jinlunan invaded, the doctor gave me advice several times.

I wrote a letter to the imperial court, and it is clear that I care about the people of the world. Now I have raised an army and vowed to expel the Jinlu from the Central Plains. After several years, fortunately, the people around me responded."

Wang Zhongmin nodded, cupped his hands and said, "The people praise you for your kindness and kindness!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "In battle, casualties are inevitable. When we soldiers die, we die. What can we say about serving the country and the people? There are also those who are injured. They could have been saved, but they lacked the treatment of famous doctors.

, and it is a pity to lose his life. Since the doctor cares about the people of the world, it is better to go to our army, lead the doctors, and treat the injured soldiers. To be honest, I have visited carefully in the past two years and invited many doctors to work in the army.

. Although they are diligent, most of them have limited medical skills, and many soldiers still lost their lives due to lack of timely treatment. I just saw the doctor's medical skills, and none of the doctors in our army can compare with them. If the doctors can get the doctor's guidance, they will definitely benefit a lot."

After hearing this, Wang Zhongmin looked at Wang Xiaolie again, and it was a little different from before. Especially the sentence, "If you die, you will die." The tone was calm, but it revealed a kind of determination. Yes, when going into battle, you must first see through life and death.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Wang Zhongmin said: "Since Zhen Fu sincerely invited me, I couldn't refuse it. I heard that Zhen Fu was going north to rescue Li Jinglue, so I followed the army and did my best. I will be useful wherever I can.

, naturally try your best!”

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

Coming from a thousand years later, Wang Xiaolie certainly knew the importance of military medicine. Not long after he took control of the army, he paid attention to this matter and wanted to establish a military medical system similar to that of later generations. However, his knowledge was limited and he had no understanding of medical skills, so it has never been completed.

There are many doctors in the army now, but they all have their own strengths. It is possible to establish a clinic, but it is really impossible for doctors who follow the army. Wang Xiaolie thought about setting up a medical school, but his medical skills could not figure out a system.

In preparation, not yet built.

Zhai Xing watched on the side and could only sigh in his heart. He started the army earlier than Wang Xiaolie, had a higher official position and greater reputation than him. He never expected that Wang Xiaolie would reach where he is today in two years. The power in this area now,

Whether it is competing for soldiers or money and food, no one is stronger than Wang Xiaolie. Many times, others 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 Xiaoxian said: "Yiyang is to the east of the Lu family, and the Jin army cannot reach it for a while. If Li Yanxian agrees to withdraw his troops to the Lu family, the most important person in this battle will be Dong from the east.

First. He strangled the Luo River valley, blocked Meng Bangxiong from the west, and cut off contact with the Jin army. If something happens to Dong Xian, and the Jin army from Guozhou joins forces with Meng Bangxiong to attack the Lu family from the east and west, things will be difficult to handle."

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