Three Kingdoms Chapter 59 The Sorrowful Soldiers
Luoyang City, Yuzhu Garden.
"Master, what's that brother's name?" Li Yuzhu showed an unprecedented sense of curiosity about his legendary senior brother.
"Uh...... Your brother's ...... It's too mysterious, even the master I don't know his true identity, I only know that his surname is Huang, because he is too arrogant and arrogant, he fell out with his family very early, so he wandered outside alone, calling himself 'Longlin'. Yang San smiled and blushed, and said embarrassedly, after all, as a master, he didn't even know the name of his former apprentice, and it was a bit embarrassing to say it.
"Dragon Lin? So handsome? Li Yuzhu was taken aback, and couldn't help but sigh, his senior brother was really a strange person, and he changed his name without saying a word, and gave him such a majestic name.
The dragon is coming, and the dragon is coming to the world, and the four seas are served.
"Well, your senior brother is indeed a strange person, what he learned in my hands back then, there are signs that he has surpassed me, so many years have passed, presumably Long Lin he has long been a leading man, but unfortunately his temperament is really not very good, otherwise I would not have heard of his name until now." Yang San sighed with a smile.
"Hmm." Li Yuzhu nodded, after all, the person who dared to claim to be a dragon must have been able to reach the sky now, and he didn't know where he was now.
"By the way, Master, didn't you say that Senior Brother offended a big man back then? Who's that? Li Yuzhu suddenly thought that he had always heard that his senior brother had been exiled from Luoyang City, so he was also very curious about this matter.
Hearing this, Yang Sanxiao's face instantly became solemn, his gray eyebrows were raised, and a gleam of essence appeared in his eyes, after pondering for a moment, Yang Sanxiao shook his head and said: "Forget it, you don't have to keep those things about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds in mind, you better learn your skills hard, and strive to be like your senior brother, although he is indeed talented and intelligent, but his diligent master also sees it in his eyes." ”
Seeing that Master Yang San smiled and didn't answer directly, Li Yuzhu didn't ask too much, but the doubts in his heart were even stronger, but he couldn't force it, so he had to give up!
"Okay, I'll tell you a little bit more, a little more simply.
Wang's spring belongs to the wood and the soil is where, I don't know the five elements of the prosperity of the death and imprisonment of the masters, it was not appropriate at that time, not for the spring wood and the soil is not.
Ten stems and twelve branches are intricately arranged, and they are arranged without false for sixty Jiazi cycles, that is, where creation is located.
If it is not wood today, and fire tomorrow, it is not the nature of heaven.
......”
Li Yuzhu listened vaguely, only remembered some general ideas, and he felt that even if a historian listened to it, he might not be able to fully understand it.
The teaching methods of ancient times are very different from those of modern times, and modern ones mainly cultivate a kind of learning thinking, which is a combination of humanistic training and scientific training, and focuses on all-round development.
The ancient education method is a bit backward, just like a Chinese text that Li Yuzhu read when he was a child, called "If you don't understand, you have to ask", the gentleman in it teaches, that is, to tell students how to read, after reading back, or reading, as long as you read more, you will be able to understand.
As you can imagine, there are indeed many drawbacks to the ancient way of education. Just like Yang Sanxiao now, the main thing is to read to Li Yuzhu, and after reading it, he won't explain in much detail, unless Li Yuzhu listens carefully and asks directly if he doesn't understand something.
After all, there are not many geniuses like Li Yuzhu's senior brother named "Long Lin", so ancient students are indeed often eager to stop in hardship.
......
This sudden rainstorm is not a catastrophe for ordinary people's families, and it will not have much impact on farmers.
However, for Yuan Shao's army stationed at the east gate of Luoyang City, it was indeed an extremely ferocious natural disaster.
Last night, there was a lot of wind and rain, thunder and lightning, and the 7,000 men and horses brought by Yuan Shao can be described as in a difficult situation. In the beginning, no one expected such weather, so the rain protection equipment was not very complete.
There were more than 7,000 people, tents and so on were basically not enough, and last night there were almost a lot of people squeezed into one tent, and in the end, about a third of the people were drenched in the rain all night, and they didn't sleep well, and many soldiers were sick because of this.
And they have so many things to think about, such as their eating, drinking, and Lazar. In terms of food, they must ensure that the grain and grass are okay, so most of the tents are used on the grain and grass, and they have to take turns to send people on duty, and these soldiers on duty must be 100% drenched in the rain.
Besides, their lazar urinated but fine, but what about the poop of more than 7,000 people? In ancient wars, there was usually a urinal at the downwind outlet, which was specially used to provide a place for soldiers to poop.
However, now that it is raining heavily, who will be drenched in the rain and bare-bottomed to poop, so everyone has to hold back, and the next day many people begin to feel uncomfortable in their stomachs and begin to be constipated. And most seriously, the heavy rain washed into the urinal, and the dirt in the urinal also overflowed.
Therefore, the essence of the urinal that had been brewing for several days was rushed out, and some of it had even been washed up on top of the soldiers' tents, in this case, the bacteria were very susceptible to infection, and the sanitary conditions were extremely poor, which was exactly the right time to meet the conditions for the occurrence of plague, which would often occur in ancient wars, and this is the reason.
Of course, at this time, Yuan Shao's army was not yet plagued, but it was still miserable, more and more people were sick with fever, and these patients needed a lot of medicine, which was really not a valuable expense.
In fact, they have another way to alleviate the current situation, and that is to fight. If you lose, you lose, in ancient times, it was very common to lose a war, after all, there is always a war, one side will lose. But if they win, then they can go into the city to grab supplies, money, women, and land......
To put it bluntly, it's a gamble.
At this time, one of the tents of Yuan Shao's army was full of soldiers, but compared to other tents, it was obvious that it was much better here.
Because this is an exclusive tent for the officers of Yuan Shao's army.
There were three people at the head, except for the one on the side of the three, the other two were all burly and had perfect muscles. One of them was a lieutenant with the surname Chen, and the other was a supervisor with the surname Liu, while the others were basically generals below the fifth rank.
And this third person, named Xu You, was about forty years old, he was not wearing armor like the others, and he was wearing a gray-white robe, and he had an elegant affinity. Xu You is different from the others, he is a strategist, a military officer that Yuan Shao often brings with him.
"Captain Chen, Supervisor Liu, you guys have an idea!"
"That's right! The soldiers had a fever and a cold, and there were more than a dozen more in the morning. ”
"It's not okay to go on like this!"
"The general has entered Luoyang City, and now the situation inside is unknown, what should I do?"
......
Everyone was talking, and Captain Chen and Liu Jianjun were also embarrassed, and they were also in a very bad situation at this time.
Yuan Shao is still in Luoyang City, without his order, this battle cannot be fought, and even if it is fought, it may not be won, not to mention that the state of Yuan Shao's army is not good now, even if there is no rain, it may not be able to fight.
But if we don't fight, I'm afraid that the situation in the army will get worse and worse, and in the end, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that there will be an outbreak of plague, and I am afraid that it will be even worse at that time.
Today's situation is a dilemma in which there is no way to fight, and there is no way to retreat.
In the face of everyone's doubts and questions, Captain Chen and Liu Jianjun were also speechless, not knowing what to do.
After thinking for a while, he was helpless, so Liu Jianjun turned his head and asked Xu You: "Master Xu, what good way do you have?" ”
Hearing this, Xu You shook his head, and his face was also a little worried: "The military order is like a mountain, the general has not returned, and we don't dare to act rashly, not to mention that the purpose of the general to treat everyone to Luoyang is just to suppress those courtiers in the palace, not really want to fight." ”
"Huh? If there is no war, then what are we going to do? Suddenly, a general suddenly said that he had always had a very big grievance, and now he heard that he was sent to Luoyang, and he originally wanted to follow the general to make a contribution, but now he was just using it for show, so he couldn't help complaining.
"Bold." Who knew that after hearing this, Captain Chen shouted angrily: "How can you guess and question the general's actions?" ”
Suddenly, everyone was speechless, closed their mouths and didn't dare to say anything more.
And when he was in this quiet tent, he could only hear the sound of rain outside and the breathing of the crowd inside, Xu You still stood up and said: "All the soldiers and soldiers should be calm for the time being, the military order is like a mountain, without the order of the general, we dare not rashly attack the city, so I thought of a way, which should alleviate the current predicament in the army." ”
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, and Liu Jianjun immediately smelled: "Master Xu, what can you do?" ”
"Judging from the current form, the two most serious problems in the army at present are the increasing number of officers and men suffering from fever and illness, and the second is the health problem in the army.
Therefore, I suggest that as soon as the heavy rain stops, we should immediately send two people in disguise, make a detour, and enter the city from the south gate to buy medicine, after all, we are stationed at the east gate, although we have not blocked the city gate, but if we are discovered, we will inevitably be laughed at.
Moreover, although we could not attack the city, as soon as the heavy rain stopped, we immediately changed the formation in our army, and stretched the battle line all the way outward, with 100 people as a team, about 70 troops, arranged in a straight line, after all, we are not fighting now, and we do not have to worry about the enemy's sneak attack.
In this way, the soldiers are dispersed in case the filth in the urinal causes a plague, etc., and if the plague breaks out, we will not lose a lot. ”
