Han Sui returned to the central army's tent, recruited Han Yin and Cheng Gongying, and conveyed the emperor's oral edict.
Han Yin suddenly became anxious. "How could Song Jian surrender with such conditions?"
"If you don't surrender, kill." Han Sui's face was as deep as water. "Prepare to attack. After capturing the city, not only will he die, but his entire family will die."
"The siege will kill people." Han Yin was anxious and his voice became louder. "I don't know when the preparations will be completed in this snowy and ice mountain log. If I don't do it well, I have to spend the New Year on the battlefield. Ahon,
Are you not afraid of opposition from various ministries?”
Han Sui slapped the table and stood up. "Shut up! Do you think I don't know this? The emperor refused to accept surrender. What can I do?"
Seeing that Han Sui was angry, Han Yin was cowardly. He knew that Han Sui's temper would never have been so impatient. It would be possible to talk back and slap him in public.
Han Sui secretly glanced at Cheng Gongying, hoping that Cheng Gongying could persuade Han Sui. The strong attack was definitely not a good idea, or even the original plan. Otherwise, he would not have spent so much time on the road, and he would not have even sent troops now, but
Wait until after spring begins next year.
To siege, a large amount of siege equipment must be prepared, and these have to be built on the spot, and it will not be possible for a month.
Now there are only a few days left before the New Year, accepting Song Jian’s surrender is the most worry-free way.
It is definitely not an ideal choice to celebrate the New Year on the battlefield. Each battalion will come to ask for wine, meat and rewards, which is a huge expense. If Song Jian's surrender is accepted, all of these expenses can be borne by Song Jian, and Han Sui will repay the expenses.
If you can make a fortune from it, Han Sui now has to bear it himself, which is equivalent to letting Han Sui cut his losses.
Cheng Gongying frowned and said nothing.
After a while, Cheng Gongying said, "Does the General hope to lead the troops to the east after this battle?"
Angry Han Sui nodded.
Cheng Gongying is a confidant, so there is no need to hide it, and it cannot be concealed. After the emperor gave him a promise, he revealed the news to Cheng Gongying, even earlier than Han Yin.
"Since that's the case, why not treat Kuohan as Yecheng and have a real review?"
Han Sui rolled his eyes and thought to himself. He signaled Cheng Gongying to continue.
Cheng Gongying mentioned two points: the emperor's biggest enemy was Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao had not been promoted to the emperor, his intention to be unjust was clear. Yecheng was equivalent to his royal city. If he wanted to take Yuan Shao, he would definitely attack Yecheng.
Yecheng is solid, and attacking Yecheng will be an arduous battle, which will test the general's command ability very much.
When Huangfu Song and others pacified the Yellow Turbans, they were in a state of unstoppable war, but they encountered great trouble when siegeing the city. Zhu Ye attacked Wancheng, Lu Zhi, and Huangfu Song attacked Guangzong, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. Lu Zhi also used up his attack on Wancheng.
He was dismissed because of his poor siege.
It is recognized that the Xiliang Army is good at field battles and is not good at siegeing cities.
The emperor refused Song Jian's request to surrender, not necessarily because he was intentionally making things difficult for him, but because he wanted to see Han Sui's ability to attack the city.
Of course, there may be another intention to see if Han Sui really contributed to the court.
Song Jian and Han Sui are not old friends. If Han Sui refused to take ruthless measures against Song Jian, how could the emperor trust Han Sui?
After listening to Gong Ying's analysis, Han Sui slapped his thigh. "Yuan Wei, I think so too." Then he shouted to Han Yin: "Zhu Zi, learn well, don't shout and kill at any time, move yours
A stone-like brain.”
Han Yin was scolded for no reason. But he got used to it and shrugged as if nothing had happened.
When Han Sui saw this, he became even more angry and couldn't help but think of Jia Xu's words.
With Han Yin's incompetent appearance, if the Han family wants to grow rich, they may really have to rely on their daughter and son-in-law to help them.
While Han Sui ordered people to go to the city to spread a message, he ordered Song Jian to surrender unconditionally, while summoning the generals to prepare for a strong attack.
As Han Yin was worried, when he heard that he might have to attack Kuohan, all the generals showed a hint of embarrassment.
Han Sui was prepared and promised that after breaking the city, the spoils would be distributed according to the credit. Before breaking the city, he would provide all the soldiers with sufficient wine and meat to ensure that everyone has a good New Year.
Seeing Han Sui so generous, all the generals were a little surprised.
Han Sui is not a rough man like Dong Zhuo. He can slaughter the ox at home and entertain guests. He has always been careful and does not suffer any losses. Now with such a big deal, he can't make any money even if he wins the city of Shihan.
Recover the cost, the loss is certain.
It's unreasonable.
Han Sui also knew that his behavior was a bit abnormal, but he could not explain it, so he could only express it with practical actions.
He distributed a batch of wine and meat on the same day to boost morale. Then he discussed with the tribal leaders in the nearby valley to buy a large amount of cattle and sheep from them, and then recruited the prefect of Longxi Youchu, and asked him to send someone back to Didao to purchase a lot of supplies.
.
With the wine and meat, the morale in the camp suddenly rose, and the camp was filled with joy, and singing and dancing scenes could be seen everywhere.
In contrast, the emperor's imperial camp seemed a little deserted. The soldiers continued to train, study, and perform their duties, and did not change too much because the New Year was approaching.
Liu Xie bent down and walked into the central tent of the Imperial Medical Office.
Hua Tuo stood in the center of the tent and dissected a sheep under the illumination of several butter candles. His arms were covered with blood, and the leather apron between his chest and abdomen was also stained with blood. He said while dissecting,
There were two young men next to him, one was drawing with a pen and the other recorded Hua Tuo's explanation.
More than a dozen people formed a circle, holding paper and pen in their hands, listening to the notes while listening to the notes. They all stretched their necks, opened their eyes wide, gathered at the meeting gods, and did not notice that Liu Xie appeared behind them at all.
"For doctors, sheep intestines are the most precious." Hua Tuo carefully raised a piece of sheep intestine. "The wound is sutured with thread made of sheep intestines. After the wound is recovered, there is no need to remove the stitches. You can avoid secondary injuries when dealing with internal organs.
Open the abdomen. Even when dealing with trauma, if the wound is too big to be sutured, you can cut the sheep intestines, cover it on the wound, and then bandage it with a clean cloth..."
"So that's how it is." A young apprentice laughed. "Next time I slaughter sheep, no one is allowed to eat sheep intestines."
The others laughed too.
A young apprentice raised his hand and asked. "Doctor Hua, the cow is bigger, can the intestine be used?"
"Maybe useful, but I haven't tried it yet, so I can't give you an accurate answer." Hua Tuo put the sheep intestines on the plate aside. "If you have the chance, you can try it. But before the experiment, you must
Learn how to deal with sheep intestines and cow intestines. If they are not processed properly, even sheep intestines will cause wound ulceration."
"Why do wounds ulcerate? Is sheep a livestock and not worthy of using them on humans?"
"The specific reasons need to be explored. All I can tell you now is the method I have figured out, and it is a feasible method." Hua Tuo said while dissecting it: "You guys, remember that medicine is a practical knowledge. Many medical techniques are
All of them are explored from practice, and there is no ready-made truth that allows you to follow the map. So, don’t be superstitious about anyone. Whether I or Ji Ling, you may make mistakes. If you find something we have not mentioned before
Don’t be afraid of things, or even the opposite, just try to verify them carefully. As long as they work, they are right.”
