Jiang Hexi looked at Miao Shizhen and couldn't imagine such a barbaric behavior. Is it just like playing a game for them to climb the city wall? If you have the time to kill people, you might as well work harder to produce.
But people in the north may not think so.
"Whoa!" Miao Shizhen was walking well when he suddenly heard a loud noise from behind. It turned out that Jiang Hexi was walking too fast and slipped without paying attention.
"Oh, my dear, you have to be careful. It's easy to go up the mountain but hard to go down. Why did you forget?" Miao Shizhen looked at Jiang Hexi distressedly: "Let me see if you are injured."
Jiang Hexi shook her head stubbornly: "No, I slid down like this because I was too lazy to walk."
It's not that Jiang Hexi has never gone down the mountain before, but thinking that she could see Huo Jingchen at the bottom of the mountain made her feel so excited that she couldn't hold it back, so she slid down the mountain.
"This young man is so impatient!" Miao Shizhen sighed in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.
He carefully pointed out the river line under the tree to Jiang Hexi, and told Jiang Hexi that he had to flatten his feet to walk like this and not walk straight forward.
Jiang Hexi followed carefully, and finally reached the halfway point of the mountain quickly.
"Who are you? This is a restricted area. You should take a detour!" As they were walking, a man in civilian clothes suddenly stopped him. At first glance, he knew he was a plainclothes sentry.
Jiang Hexi took out the seal that Huo Jingchen gave to her before and said, "This is your general's seal. We are here to see General Huo."
"There is no General Huo here!" The plainclothes soldiers seemed very unfriendly.
A tall and thin soldier next to him came up and whispered to the plainclothes soldier: "He is talking about our general, not the leader named Li."
"He, she knows our general?" The plainclothes soldier was surprised and felt that his expression was a little distorted.
"It looks like he's one of our own. Maybe he has some information, so let's give it a try!" the short man next to him advised.
At this juncture, everyone wants to make meritorious deeds. Those who cannot kill the enemy will find ways to discover information internally or please their bosses.
Now that such a good opportunity has come, who is willing to give it up?
So, the plainclothes soldier thought for a moment and pointed to a stone on the ground and said, "Then, sit here and wait, don't wander around!"
With that said, he asked the short soldier to run inside and report.
Jiang Hexi always thought that Liang Jun's confrontation was just like a ball game, with them lining up on both sides and refusing to give in to each other.
But I didn't expect that this confrontation was correct, why was it in the wilderness without even a wall.
Huo Jingchen is usually a pampered person. Will he live in a thatched hut? He is delicate and expensive, will he not get used to such an environment, and then fall ill?
A series of questions ran into Jiang Hexi's mind. She didn't know why she thought of so many things.
However, everything soon became known. She and Miao Shizhen were sitting under the tree, looking at the geese in the sky.
"The general wants you to go to the camp!" Not long after, the little soldier held a wooden sign to Miao Shizhen and Jiang Hexi: "This is a general badge. Don't make any noise!"
Jiang Hexi sarcastically said to the plainclothes man next to him: "How about it? We are not liars, are we? They say that we are the other party's spies, and they don't even look at the direction we are coming from!"
Miao Shizhen gently tugged on Jiang Hexi's clothes: "Don't be so fierce. The most important duty as a sentry is to stay vigilant!"
Jiang Hexi looked at Miao Shizhen with an unconvinced look. She was pretty good at treating illnesses and saving people, but when it came to the front line, she wasn't so proficient in the customs and customs here, as well as the various requirements on the front line, and she made some jokes from time to time.
It is also inevitable.
Miao Shizhen patiently led Jiang Hexi inside.
The so-called military camp is just a circle surrounded by a bamboo fence. People inside patrol back and forth, and it looks more like a village.
Jiang Hexi was led to a yurt in the middle. If she didn't explain clearly, she wouldn't have believed that the tall and thick man sitting in front of her was Huo Jingchen.
"General, we have brought the person who asked to see you." The little man just bowed.
"Well, please come in, please come in!" Huo Jingchen put down the map in his hand and raised his head.
The villagers who originally thought they were here to deliver some information or supplies did not expect to see Miao Shizhen's face and immediately stood up from the high chair: "Students don't know that the miracle doctor is coming, and they are not welcome from afar!"
Miao Shizhen said hurriedly: "No etiquette, no etiquette!"
The Huo family is well-known in the capital for respecting teachers and teaching, but not everyone can afford such a gift.
Miao Shizhen smiled and said: "We are on the front line now, so we don't have to show off so much. Wouldn't it be nice if you were so polite when you saw the other party's military advisor?"
Huo Jingchen hurriedly gave up his seat and said to Jiang Hexi and Miao Shizhen: "It's really troublesome that the miracle doctor is here. The students will definitely work harder."
Miao Shizhen looked at the dotted map. In many places, the two armies were facing each other, evenly matched.
It seems that this is a protracted battle. Even if one point is won, other places will be defeated.
Jiang Hexi looked at Miao Shizhen's eyes and quickly complimented: "I didn't expect that the master is also proficient in the art of war. The student is now ashamed."
Miao Shizhen shook his head modestly: "How do you know the art of war as a teacher? It's just talk on paper. But when it comes to knowledge, I am a legitimate imperial teacher. Seeing a doctor is just my hobby."
Jiang Hexi looked at Miao Shizhen in surprise: "What did you say? Your medical skills are so good, but it's just a hobby? Then, who is the miracle doctor in our country?"
Miao Shizhen looked at Jiang Hexi: "The real Chinese doctor is of course Qin Xianlin. But he... ugh!"
Seeing Miao Shizhen look so sad, Jiang Hexi felt embarrassed to ask any more questions.
She looked at the makeshift tent and felt that a strong wind could blow it away. The difficulty of going out was all reflected in this tent.
Jiang Hexi scolded the people around her with some distress: "Do you just live here? You are fighting for the country, and you can't do it with dignity!"
The soldier next to him whispered: "Miss Jiang, we can't do this. What matters outside is the speed of soldiers. If we spend all the energy of advancing and retreating on building fortifications, this will inevitably affect our combat effectiveness."
Huo Jingchen said quickly: "Miss Jiang is a miracle doctor. She usually doesn't understand this. If you have anything to say, please talk to me."
Jiang Hexi nodded and looked at the people around him running back and forth in the military camp, practicing their siege postures. The most lacking thing on the front line now is people. If the troops can go up, it can be said to be the same as the Jin soldiers in the Northeast.
It's overwhelming.
Huo Jingchen shook his head helplessly: "In terms of population, we are naturally rich in resources and have more troops than them. But last time Chen Liang was defeated and fled. Everyone ran away and died, but there was no one left."
Miao Shizhen asked: "Then, can't we recruit troops?"
Huo Jingchen shook his head: "Do you think conscription will be useful? How can the new recruits fight if they don't know anything?"
"What about those old subordinates?" Jiang Hexi asked.
"It is a custom in our court that the soldiers under a defeated general can escape freely without restraint."
Jiang Hexi felt very helpless. This regulation may be good news for many ordinary people who are greedy for life and fear of death, but for the court, it is a disaster. Because in adversity, what is important is not to be afraid of sacrifice, and what is important is to transcend.
Frustration makes you braver.
Miao Shizhen thought for a while and said to Huo Jingchen: "General, don't worry, this order cannot be enforced, but if we win the hearts of the people, we can still find some people."
Huo Jingchen looked at Miao Shizhen with some confusion: "Master, are you kidding me? Ever since Huo Chenyang's escape, people in both the government and the public have been in panic. Now you say you want to capture their hearts? Isn't this too difficult to do?"
Miao Shizhen shook his head and looked at Huo Jingchen: "So you are young and have little experience. What I am saying is not that they should change their view of us, but that they dare not come because they are afraid of death. If we provide enough
With our logistical support, they will not be infected even if they are slightly injured, and they will not die if they are seriously injured. Who would refuse to join our guard?"
Huo Jingchen thought about what Miao Shizhen said. It was not completely unreasonable, but it was a bit difficult to operate.
Miao Shizhen took Jiang Hexi and said, "Hexi, let's go and see who in this military camp needs medical treatment."
Jiang Hexi followed Miao Shizhen obediently and saw that due to poor conditions in the entire military camp, the food was not very hygienic. Many dishes and chopsticks were not completely washed.
Miao Shizhen asked the cook: "Are many of you here suffering from dysentery and diarrhea?"
The cook nodded: "Yes, at least thirty people ran away. Later, a few people came to stay for two days and ran away because they said their stomachs couldn't bear it."
Jiang Hexi smiled and said: "This is why you can't attract soldiers. If you get sick from eating, who would want to come here to fight?"
The cook nodded and said sadly: "But there is nothing we can do. Where can we find such good conditions in this wilderness? We can only do our best."
Jiang Hexi shook his head: "You are doing your best and you are right, but can't you make these tableware cleaner? As long as there are enough people and wash them a few more times, the virus on them will be gone. It's hard work on the front line, but you won't
Didn’t you even reach the water?”
The cook nodded. Because the military camp only had requirements for food, but there were no strict regulations on sanitary conditions, so they placed the tableware haphazardly after cooking. As a result, many of the tableware looked dirty.
Jiang Hexi took the dishes and chopsticks to the nearby stream to wash. After a while, the dishes and chopsticks with greasy stains on them immediately became shiny.
Jiang Hexi patted the bowl and chopsticks: "If this is the case, let alone whether you will get sick, at least people will feel better after eating it."
The cook nodded quickly. Hearing that Jiang Hexi was sent by the general, the logistics people were naturally filled with respect when they could see the general's cronies.
Now that he hears her complimenting him, he nods even more like he's trying to make a fool of himself.
"Since we know that some people are running away because of poor food, we will take appropriate measures and treat them to a meal, and they will come back by then."
