Chapter 199: The State of the Enemy

Li Xiaofei took the four battalions of the White Horse Battalion, the Bow and Crossbow Battalion, the Lance Battalion, the Dead Soldier Battalion, and rushed to Sanjiangkou, and a spy had already reported to An Siqing.

An Siqing convened all battalions to discuss, some said that they would divide their troops to meet the enemy, and some suggested that they should first go all out to take the Sanjiangkou and then meet Li Xiaofei.

However, the most vocal was the retreat of the troops to Qiantang, the reason was that Li Xiaofei was in the limelight all the way, and many people in the Wei army had heard the story of Li Xiaofei's battle in Hebei back then, and were suppressed by Li Xiaofei's name.

An Siqing was very annoyed, and shot a few cases, "Before you met the enemy, you were frightened by the enemy, what is the use of the country raising people like you?" ”

After saying that, his eyes were red, and his right hand pressed on the sword, and Yang Yuan, who joined the army, immediately persuaded him, "General An is also a meritorious general of the Great Wei, we have a total of nearly 10,000 horses here, I heard that Li Xiaofei has less than 3,000 men and horses, and our army has the advantage no matter how you look at it." Our army was familiar with the terrain and set up camp on the high ground, occupying a favorable position; The people of the land also turn to us, this is the people; In addition, they actually sent cavalry to our mountainous and dense land, which is a godsend! Our army has the right time, place, and people, and it is not a problem to defeat Li Xiaofei! ”

An Siqing's younger brother An Siwen naturally also turned to his brother, "In my opinion, we just need to work together and send 6,000 men and horses to meet Li Xiaofei halfway and catch him off guard!" This battalion has more than 2,000 men left behind and the horses will be able to hold it! ”

The commander of the first cadre of deputy generals who had originally proposed to withdraw from the army was silent at this time, obviously still not supporting the division of troops to meet the enemy.

"Since everyone does not object to An Siwen's opinion, then Ben will take you to meet the enemy, and An Siwen and Yang Yuan will guard the camp under my handsome banner!" An Siqing was not at ease with these silent people, if he left them to guard the village, most of them would abandon the village and escape.

Seven or eight people looked at An Siqing's sword and wanted to stop talking, but they were resentful in their hearts, only saying that An Siqing eradicated dissidents, left his younger brother and cronies to guard the camp, and took them to death.

An Siqing had his own way, and after gathering 6,000 men, he was not in a hurry to go west. Instead, he led people to rush down from the stockade and put on a siege posture, shouting and killing to the sky, and the drums were loud, and many stones were thrown into the city.

The formation was full of momentum, Zhu Asan and Meng Crow each led people to the city to prepare to meet the enemy, and Tian Erzhuang of Jiangkou also came over with warships to reinforce.

After all the defenders of Sanjiangkou landed in the city to defend, An Siqing withdrew to the stockade on the mountain.

After bluffing for three days in a row, Zhu Asan and others never dared to be careless, dug ditches overnight to take soil and burn bricks, and blocked several city gates with earthwork.

An Siqing saw that there was a lot of smoke and dust in Sanjiangkou City, so he knew that his goal had been achieved, and led the twelve battalions of men and horses to the west quietly.

An Siqing walked very slowly with a team of more than 6,000 people, not that everyone deliberately dragged his feet, but that An Siqing gambled with the captains of each battalion and the centurion along the way, and lost all the gold and silver money he carried with the army to them.

In the army, a big win before the battle is an unlucky omen, and this time it makes people panic.

On the way, he met a famous monk in the south of the Yangtze River, named Zhang Youling, and everyone asked him for good luck.

Zhang Youling explained to everyone that this time, because everyone was going to commit murder, the money won was only a sin karma given to everyone in advance, and if everyone gave this money out again, they would be able to avoid disasters.

From the emperor to the soldiers, the Wei State believed in the Taoist life skills and fortune-telling and divination, and this time they met Zhang Youling, everyone was convinced, and they divided the money An Siqing lost to them to the soldiers of each battalion to buy peace of mind.

After the army's heart stabilized, An Si calculated the distance, and set up camp in a place called Zheli Ling, waiting for Li Xiaofei to come.

This Zheli Ridge is not as dangerous as Xianxia Pass, but the water sources for dozens of miles around it are all coming out of several spring water holes on Zheli Ridge, occupying Zheli Ridge, and then putting it

A ditch was dug near the spring hole and rerouted, and all the places where there was water were seen for a while.

The new waterways flowed in several places calculated by An Siqing, and the Wei army, under An Siqing's arrangement, set up ambushes in these new "water sources" to give the Southern Navy that came to get water a threat.

The men and horses of the fourth battalion knew that they were about to face a strong enemy, so they did not dare to be careless, in addition to the food, grass, horses and medicines brought with the army, they also found thirteen local doctors to bring them.

said that they were doctors, but in fact they were all local scholars, who had no family background and no family property, so they had to teach private schools to collect herbs and practice medicine for a living.

Among the thirteen doctors, the most competent in the local area was a forty-three-year-old man, with a short black face and a blue cloth scarf wrapped around his head, and he was always smiling. Everyone called him Lan Datou, but after a long time, no one remembered his real name.

Of course, whether you have the ability or not, Li Xiaofei wants to give it a try, and being famous doesn't necessarily mean that he really has the ability.

"Master Lan, if our brother has his throat cut, can he still be saved?" Li Xiaofei asked casually

"If the wound is not deep, it is still too late, you can sew it up immediately!" Lan Datou immediately gave the answer

The rest of the twelve people all looked at Lan Datou and secretly looked at Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei nodded: "If our army encounters miasma, how should we deal with it?" ”

Lan Datou took out a packet of things from the box behind him and opened it, "Master Li, this thing is called Coix Seed, it can be washed with boiling water to take precautions, and miasma must be prevented in advance."

Lan Datou said unhurriedly, Li Xiaofei continued to ask, "If I am hit by an arrow, how will you deal with it?" ”

"If Lord Li is hit by an arrow, he will naturally use a lancet to cut the skin and flesh of the adult, and then take it out for the adult, but the adult has to endure the pain."

"You can boil it with hemp!" A voice popped up

At first glance, everyone saw that he was the youngest of the thirteen, a white-faced scholar of about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Li Xiaofei became interested, "Yes, you are better than Master Lan, and you also know that hemp boiling, but where is this hemp boiling?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that since Hua Tuo's death, this Ma Boiling Powder has been lost, and after so many years, it is not certain whether there is Ma Boiling Powder or not.

The young man continued, "I don't have it in my hand, but I think one day there will be, and will our generation never be as good as the ancients?" ”

Li Xiaofei walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "It's a good thing that young people are ambitious, but before that, you still have to deal with all kinds of illnesses in the barracks first!" By the way, what's your name? ”

"Back to my lord, my name is Yuan Xin, and I will always remember the teachings of my lord!" Yuan Xin hugged his fists and bowed to Li Xiaofei

Li Xiaofei walked towards Lan Datou again, took his hand and raised it, "From now on, you all have to follow Master Lan and study hard, I, Li Xiaofei, will not treat you badly." By the way, in my barracks, a military rule has been added, and all soldiers must unconditionally protect the military doctor! ”

"Medic? Master Li, I only promised to stay with you for a month, and then you paid the wages and medicine and we will go home!" Lan Datou looked at Li Xiaofei with wide eyes

"Your family will send someone to the South China Sea, where there will be houses, fields and money, and this matter is settled! Follow us with peace of mind! Li Xiaofei smiled slyly

Lan Datou turned around and left, and the other eleven people looked at the soldiers around them and didn't dare to move, but Yuan Xin smiled, "If you come, you will be safe, why should Master Lan bother?" ”

"They didn't even ask me, they took my family away without permission, and I have to go back and get my wife and children back! You have to do it

Stay, stay! Lan Datou said as he walked, and the soldiers around him began to surround him

"Spread out, Master Lan is our own person, don't embarrass him." Li Xiaofei stopped the soldiers

"Master Lan, if I guessed correctly, you were a military doctor many years ago! It's just that you came here in seclusion, and since God has arranged for you to come out of the mountain again, why should you go against the will of Heaven? Li Xiaofei stepped forward to hold Lan Datou

Lan Datou stood still, and showed his smiling face again, "It seems that I can't hide it from you, I'll tell you the truth, I don't want to stay in the barracks." I can't stand it when I see the people I healed go to death again, I wanted to save people, but I killed more people! ”

"Master Lan is kind-hearted, and Li admires it very much! But in this world, it is one person who can save one, it is your business to save people, and it is their own business to kill and be killed."

Li Xiaofei stepped forward and grabbed Lan Datou, "Let's stay, just teach these twelve newcomers!" ”

Lan Datou looked at them, "They are all doing this to make a living, and they can't teach anything, not to mention that they don't necessarily want to learn!" That being said, the feet no longer move forward

Li Xiaofei waved his hand at everyone, "You guys should apprentice quickly, the opportunity is rare, from today on, Master Lan is a medical officer in the army, and you twelve people are all at his disposal!" ”

After Li Xiaofei finished speaking, eleven people bowed and hugged their fists and saluted, "Thank you, Master Lan, I am willing to listen to Master Lan!" ”

Only Yuan Xinwu didn't move, and Li Xiaofei sighed, "Young man, it seems that you don't want to apprentice?" ”

"My master is a personal disciple of Divine Doctor Li, and I will not change to someone else's name!" Yuan Xin looked disdainful

Li Xiaofei immediately remembered Murong Ling, but then thought that it was unlikely, so he asked him, "Which Divine Doctor Li?" It can't be the one who saved hundreds of thousands of people back then! Doctor Li's whereabouts are erratic, you said that your master is his disciple, I'm afraid there is no way to verify it."

"My junior uncle's name is Murong Ling, and he was accepted as a closed disciple by Divine Doctor Li thirty years ago, and my master's name can't tell you. Otherwise, you'll all have to go to him!" ”

"Murong Ling? Have you seen it? Li Xiaofei couldn't believe that he would also encounter something that intersected with Murong Ling here.

"I haven't seen it, I've heard my master say that his martial arts are better than medical skills, and he kills more people than saves people! Master Li has seen my little uncle? ”

"I've seen it. No, Murong Ling has been a master in Daliang for several years, don't you know? ”

"I don't know, we in remote places don't even know the county master, how can we know the big officials."

"Oh, that's right, the temper is also a little similar, but since you came to the barracks today, you should follow the rules of the barracks, listen to my generals' orders, and listen to Master Lan's dispatch!"

Yuan Xin looked at Lan Datou, clasped his fists and saluted, "Okay, I'll listen to the dispatch, but don't change the division, if you can't accept it, I'll leave!" ”

Lan Datou smiled, "Since you are the successor of Doctor Li, how dare I let you change your master, stay, I will stay", in fact, what Lan Datou wants is for all the doctors to listen to him and be a leader, and he doesn't care about changing his division at all.

Li Xiaofei nodded, "Yes, everyone has to listen to Doctor Lan's words, let's rest first." ”

"Slow, the top priority at this moment is to go to the water source to find out the water source to prevent someone from poisoning, and we have to make some filters! Please also ask Master Li to send someone to take us to the water source! Lan Datou looked at Li Xiaofei

"Yes, yes, Cai Guishan, you take some people to explore the way, Deng Liang, you take people to protect the Lan Medical Officer and them. The rest are on guard at the camp! ”
