Chapter 143: Don't be pessimistic, we're fine

In Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and other places, since the land was divided, everyone was fed, and everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, every household turned into serfs and sang, and everyone was very enthusiastic about defending the fruits of their victory!

Mr. Shui Jing, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Liu Bei and other people of insight agreed that this is the people's heart!

Now a large amount of iron is needed to smelt anyway, and Jingzhou iron is already an important commodity to exchange for materials from all over the place, so the workshop was expanded, a large number of large knives and spears were made, and distributed to various peasant association organizations, and the active peasants were organized to form a joint defense team between the villages!

They usually do farm work, and at night they train, patrol or catch some old powerful forces and thieves, criticize and fight, and they also arrange some dramas similar to white-haired girls and perform them......

The form is rich, the organization and discipline are very good!

Ten miles and eight towns, which can quickly contact thousands of militias, is now an important force......

In this way, according to Wang Zherong's plan, these important military forces naturally cannot be used, they assist the regular army in combat, can form a huge combat force, as long as the big strategic depth is vacated, Cao Cao's 500,000 people, it is really not a worry......

Liu Bei listened to his teacher's words, and after bowing again, his reaction was digested for a long time, and he was so excited that he danced with his hands......

In fact, in terms of military geniuses, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are far inferior to Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Guan Yu, but Wang Zhirong is paranoid in his heart that even if he is familiar with the real history, it is not Cao Cao and Sima Yi in the north who ruined Zhuge Liang's plan to enter the Central Plains to revive the Han Dynasty, but Sun Quan in Jiangdong!

Sun Quan is a poisonous snake, he can't come out and bite it, and he will die directly!

Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and won a complete victory, seeing that it was the rhythm of entering the Central Plains and reviving the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was so scared that he had to move the capital......

Therefore, Wang Zhirong had no choice but to go north in person, let Zhuge Liang and Guan Yubu personally guard the east gate, Pang Tong personally guarded the southwest, and Wei Yan, Xu Shu and others guarded the old nest Guigu Mountain......

In this way, the entire rear will be very stable......

Liu Bei was full of confidence all of a sudden, in the whole Jingzhou, there are not many regular troops, only tens of thousands, but there are really a lot of militiamen, as long as it is a young man, it is a militia, and if you really want to count it like this, the entire Jingzhou army can reach more than 100,000!

"Got it now, right? Xuande, don't be afraid, retreat is not to escape, strategic retreat is to retreat as advance, is to drag Cao Cao to death in the quagmire of Jingzhou......"

"Disciple understood! The wisdom of the teacher, the light will live forever......"

"I'm rubbing! Why don't you say, St. Teach. The main text becomes a martial arts to dominate the rivers and lakes...... Don't fix the black wood cliff, I don't like ......"

This sentence popped out nonsensically, and Liu Bei had a question mark on his face when he heard it......

"Teacher?"

"You and the officers above the Yidezhao group, arrange a retreat! Go to the wounded barracks for the division to see ......"

Liu Bei then called Zhang Fei, summoned the generals, and discussed and formulated a detailed strategic retreat plan according to the general idea of King Rongming repairing the plank road and darkening Chen Cang.

At this time, Hua Tuo had already gathered all the military doctors here, and Wang Zhirong was about to start playing the role of a military doctor, and he ordered all other military doctors to come over to study.

But when he arrived at the wounded barracks, Wang Zhirong was dumbfounded!

There is nothing needed at all, there is not even a single cotton these days, cotton, bandages, scalpels, alcohol, stitched needles and threads, etc., as far as Wang Zhirong knows the healing raw materials, there is no one! There are some healing elixirs Sanqi and ginseng, if you don't deal with the wound well, the infection will kill you, even if you eat Taishang Laojun's elixir, it is useless!

Although he led a batch from the mountains, cotton was not planted on a large scale in these years, and the bandages could only be linen, and the stitches could only be twine, and the conditions were too poor......

Disinfect with alcohol, also only with a fine linen cloth......

No way, when is this, low productivity, medical technology lag behind, and the lack of materials is understandable.

There are no conditions, and the conditions must be created!

If you don't create conditions at this time, you can only watch tens of thousands of people wait for death! Although Wang Zhirong is a half-ass, he feels that his thinking is at least right, and the method he uses is also to recognize the experience that has been summed up for thousands of years, even if he treats and dies a few wounded soldiers because of this, as long as he can save most of them, it will be immeasurable!

Then create the conditions! Cotton is still growing in the Western Regions, but the kapok in the south of Jingzhou is mostly used by the people to fill quilts and pillows, and now they can send people out to find some clean ones; As for bandages, then they had to be made of sackcloth; scalpels, there are blacksmiths in the army who accompany the battalion, and you can let the blacksmiths make a batch now; The alcohol thing had to find some liquor, design a distillation system, and make a batch of it himself; As for the needles to suture the wound, you can ask the tailor in the army.

However, the most inconspicuous needle has become a problem, at this time the sewing needle is indeed available, but it is only two inches long, and the needle hole is relatively large, if it is used to suture the wound, it will not work at all!

I asked the blacksmith who came with the camp, and said that this thing is made of fine steel drawn into filament, as far as the current steel is concerned, it can only be pulled to this extent, if it is finer, it will become softer, and it is okay to use acupuncture points for doctors, but not for sewing clothes!

Steel, this is easy to do! Wang Zhirong casually took a warrior's treasure knife and said: "This is the best quality steel, I guess you can get it, who of you knows how to make needles, make a little smaller one for me!" ”

The military doctors accompanying the camp were a little puzzled, obviously saying that they were here to learn to heal, and now they actually pulled out the matter of the blacksmith building steel needles, I don't know what the connection is between these two things that can't be hit with eight poles? Is it really unfathomable?

There is no way, Wang Zhirong can only ask these people to treat them temporarily according to their original methods, and let many people mash Panax notoginseng and ginseng into powder for later use, and pour some into those who are deficient in qi and blood, hang their lives, and don't die for the time being......

The blacksmiths asked some soldiers to help, rushed to work overnight, and made rapid progress, and at noon the next day, not only made a batch of scalpels according to the drawings provided by Wang Zhirong, but also made dozens of steel needles! Of course, Wang Zhirong also didn't stop, it took a night to command dozens of people to do a good job of distillation equipment, and purified a batch of alcohol, although Wang Zhirong couldn't detect the alcohol content, he didn't know if it was seventy-five degrees, but he poured some himself, and after igniting it, judging by the burning time and the remaining amount of water, it was definitely above seventy degrees. To be able to do this city, Wang Zhirong felt that he had done his best.

Everything is ready, now is the time to go under the knife!

Wang Zhirong found a soldier whose abdominal wound had been purulent and rotten, and he had already begun to have a serious fever, and it seemed that his life was hanging by a thread, and he ate ginseng and notoginseng, which was temporarily hanging on for a life. In fact, Wang Zhirong has never studied surgery at all, and now he is purely chasing ducks to the shelves, if he hadn't killed a few people in front of him, and he had a certain amount of courage, maybe he wouldn't have been able to go under the knife.

Now Wang Zhirong lit a little alcohol, detoxified the scalpel, and told people to prepare the linen cloth and silk threads that had been boiled in boiling water and dried in the sun, and began to cut the wound of the soldier! But what I didn't expect was that this guy jumped up in pain, and he wouldn't let him cut it open!
