During Zhang Niujiao's few months in Taihang Mountain, he and his subordinates also summarized and analyzed the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army.

Everyone believed that after the incident, under the command of the commanders of the Dafang Qu in various localities, they fought their own battles, and they did not contact each other and failed to coordinate and cooperate. In addition, although the number of troops is very large, most of them are mountain and wild villagers, ordinary people, who have not received systematic military training, and lack combat experience, so the rebel armies in various places have been successively defeated by the superior forces concentrated by the officers and soldiers.

What is even more infuriating is that the clans and powerful people in various places, they take advantage of various relationships such as protégés and old officials, plus they have money in their hands, and organize their own armies and rebels to be enemies everywhere, which not only hits and cuts off the supply of the rebel army, but also cuts off the connection between the various units of the rebel army. This is also one of the reasons for the failure.

After summarizing, Zhang Niujiao and everyone also discussed many ways to deal with it. For example, military training was carried out on Taihang Mountain to strengthen the connection between the various Taiping Roads.

Zhang Niujiao and the Yellow Turban generals all realized that what Zhang Luo said before was right! If you blindly attack the city and grab the land, it is difficult to survive without a stable territory. Finding a place to survive for the future of Taiping Road has always been the primary issue for Zhang Niujiao. As for anything else to overthrow the Liu family and rebuild the dynasty, he was not very interested. The lessons of last year's big failure are too profound. I don't have a territory, I have a crisis of survival, and I talk about other things.

Just when the remnants of Taiping Road escaped into Taihang Mountain to recuperate, Zhang Luo immediately decided to make a "-stirring stick" in the rear of the Han army - sweeping Wei County, Zhao County, and Changshan Kingdom.

After the officer corps made a strategic direction and the general staff drew up an operational plan, they no longer talked nonsense, and Zhang Luo gathered the soldiers and officers from these counties in the ranks, and first let them reconnoiter the situation in front and contact the dormant remnants of Taiping Dao. After Zhang Luo's troops were simply reorganized, they began to advance in the direction of Wei County with the road openers.

On the way to cross the Qinghe River and attack Neihuang County along the official road, Zhang Luo's troops doubled. The remnants of the Taiping Dao in Wei County and some righteous bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests have been trying to rebel, but they have never been able to defeat the Han army. The appearance of Zhang Luo undoubtedly gave these scattered "stragglers" a target to rely on.

Zhang Luo's troops sang "The superior people owe me money, the middle ones have to sleep, and the inferior ones follow me, it's better than renting cattle to plough the thin fields!" Everywhere I went, the poor from all walks of life joined in.

Different from the situation in Pingyuan County, after entering Wei County, the Taiping Dao was basically locals, and they did not defect to the Taiping Army with their families, but joined Zhang Luo's team in a voluntary way. Towards the time of Neihuang, Zhang Luo's army expanded to 5,500 men.

These new recruits were all locals and played a great role in conquering the county. When they entered the city gate, the city gate was already in a mess.

Due to the recruitment along the way, the march of the troops was not too fast. After laying down Wei County, Zhang Luo simply temporarily reorganized here. Of course, Zhang Luo also sent an outpost to the Wei County to govern Yecheng.

first sent Cao Kun to Neihuang to fight the front station.

"This time, I want to join up with the Taiping Dao brothers over there and attack the county seat together." Zhang Luo told his plan in the general staff.

"Qu Shuai, you are so bold!" Lan Wei smiled, "If it were me, I would definitely contact the brothers over there first, and then send troops, but Qu Shuai, you will contact while sending troops." ”

was said by Lan Wei, Zhang Luo was quite helpless. Now that the training of the troops has reached a stage, the brothers are quite impatient with strict discipline, and if they train slowly, it will take a lot of time. Now what Zhang Luo lacks most is time, so the internal contradictions are transferred externally, and it is also a last resort to train the team through a series of marches and battles.

Lan Wei thought for a while and said, "If Qu Shuai personally leads the team, be sure to contact me more." I'm afraid that my side will only be able to send troops in five days. ”

Zhang Luo replied: "That's very good, I'll go first, and then go and join us when you finish settling the rear team here." ”

After contacting, Zhang Luo returned to the camp and gathered the troops, all of whom were elite and strong: 2,000 people. Because of the great victory in several battles, the troops now have a bow per capita, thirty arrows, a spear, and the elite troops also have ring-headed swords.

Zhang Luo is very confident in his troops, if the end of the battle in Jijiazhen is used as the dividing line, the current army can be a veteran with a new soldier. Even if it is calculated after highlighting Guangzong, the commanders and chiefs in the army are basically veterans who have received military training for more than a month in the city. With such an officer corps as the backbone, Zhang Luo is very confident.

Now that many systems have been completed, there is still an important department that has not yet been formally established, that is, the field hospital. One of the foundations of modern medicine is human anatomy, and for doctors, if they don't even know the structure of the human body, how can they have a correct understanding of medical treatment. Medicine is a very scientific system, and in later Europe and the United States, autopsy after unnatural death was commonplace. But in China, the idea that the dead are big is deeply rooted. Murder may not be strongly condemned, but it is absolutely taboo to cut open the body and study the cause and process of death.

It is not a problem for Zhang to teach his brothers about writing, mathematics, and even modern Chinese. But if you dare to start with human anatomy, it will definitely be regarded as heresy. Although the idea of establishing a modern field hospital had been in place for a long time, Zhang Luo could only start with gauze, bandaging, and cleaning the wounded barracks.

However, the scale of the army is getting bigger and bigger, and mass casualties are inevitable, so Zhang Luo held a meeting and directly said his thoughts at the meeting, "If a brother is hit by a wolf's tooth arrow embedded in the flesh, what should we do?" ”

"Dig out the arrows." Zhou Cang replied.

Everyone has these basic medical knowledge and even medical practices.

"What about the chest and stomach?" Zhang Luo continued to ask. There were brothers who were wounded like this in the army, and because there was no better treatment, more than a dozen people died in the end.

This question made everyone unable to answer, Zhang Luo waited for a while before saying: "I have a way, but everyone must not pass it on." ”

"What's the solution?" Bian Xi asked eagerly, the reconnaissance troops often have to encounter the enemy, and the mortality rate is much higher than that of ordinary troops, and among the soldiers who died after being hit by an arrow because they could not be treated, the reconnaissance troops accounted for thirty percent.

"Every time my brother, who is a military doctor, finishes a battle, he finds the bodies of the thieves who were killed by arrows, cuts open their wounds to see how they died, and only after seeing them can they know what they look like after being shot. Only when our brother is hit by an arrow can we know how to treat it. ”

The subsequent development was really as Zhang Luo thought, and after hearing this, everyone looked like they were in pain, and they were silent. This method is logically correct, and the people who attended the meeting have also experienced swords and swords, and killing people is not a problem for them at all. But even these guys, who have a few or even a dozen lives in their hands, can't accept it, and Zhang Luo can only stare at him like everyone.

Seeing that no one supported Zhang Luo, in the end, Sima Ju spoke, "The military doctors are all under the control of Minister Liao, so let Minister Liao handle this matter." ”

"Yes, yes! Minister Liao is in charge of this, and he will do it. Bian Xi also immediately added fuel to the fire, after all, everyone was rushing to kill on the battlefield and living a life of licking blood to the end. If you have a good doctor, everyone's life is more secure.

Liao Chunping doesn't like to talk for a long time, even if everyone swarmed to push this tricky matter to him, Liao Chun didn't jump up to refute it, he just looked at Zhang Luo.

Zhang Luo said: "Minister Liao, I'll teach you to handle this matter." ”

"I may not be able to find such a brother, there are only three of our military doctors who understand medical skills." Liao Chun replied.

"If you can't find it, you'll have to get on it yourself!" Zhang Luo took out a high-pressure attitude.

But after saying this, Zhang Luo also felt that he was not bullying honest people, if the other party was a guy like Pei Yuanshao, no matter how Zhang Luo persecuted, Pei Yuanshao would not do it.

Liao Chun was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Saying this and taking a step forward, Zhang was slightly relieved. The next thing is to attack Neihuang.

Lan Wei opened his mouth and said, "Do you still remember Tao Sheng, the little official in Neihuang?" ”

"I see." Zhang Luo came up with a more detailed plan.
