Chapter 54: Sun Ji of Maocun
Mao Village is located fifteen miles north of Dengyi and twenty miles away from Sanshui Village. Zhang Miao and his entourage did not choose to go directly to Mao Village, but returned to Sanshui Village first, and when they arrived at the village, it was only four o'clock.
Zhang Miao ordered Jiang Chong to be taken into custody and asked everyone to rest for a while.
At the fifth watch, the sky was still dark, the big drum in the center of Sanshui Village sounded, and the villagers rushed out of their homes one after another and ran to the threshing floor at the entrance of the village.
When they arrived at the threshing floor, many villagers were surprised to find that Zhang Miao, the young governor, did not choose to enter the queue, but stood beside Xu Shu, the military advisor.
According to the custom, they would line up to run around the village for half an hour, and then conduct an array drill when the run was hot, but today was different, and after organizing the team, they set off.
Under the leadership of the military division and the young governor, more than 200 township soldiers left Sanshui Village and headed north.
"Where is this going?" A recruit asked in a low voice, but was reprimanded by the chief.
"During the march, no casual speech is allowed!"
Zhang Miao and Xu Shu rode on horses, walking at the front of the queue, whispering as they walked.
"Do you need to make such a big move to rescue a traveling doctor?" Xu Shu asked in a low voice.
"That Fan A is not an ordinary traveling doctor, he is a disciple of Hua Tuo." Zhang Miao said.
"I am going to set up Sanshui College and open a medical department, but I am suffering from no professors, and this Fan A is the best candidate."
Xu Shu shook his head: "As far as I know, the doctor has always been a master-apprentice inheritance, and there has never been a precedent for teaching medical skills on a large scale, so Fan A may not be willing to stay in Sanshui Village." ”
Zhang Miao smiled confidently: "As long as he is Hua Tuo's disciple, as long as he is obsessed with medical skills, I don't believe he will stay." ”
A few copies of the ancient medical books in his brain are enough to attract all the doctors in this era, Fan Afei has to cry and shout that he must stay, Zhang Miao is very confident in this.
"Fighting in the army, casualties among soldiers are inevitable, and we have a large number of doctors in the army, so that the injured brothers can be treated in time." Zhang Miao continued.
Xu Shu nodded, agreeing with Zhang Miao's words, because he knew that after a battle, only a few soldiers died on the spot, and more died painfully because their injuries could not be treated.
And if these wounded soldiers can be cured, not to mention the improvement of morale, as long as these wounded soldiers are cured, they are all experienced veterans, which is much better than recruiting new soldiers!
The distance of more than 20 miles took less than an hour to arrive. When everyone arrived at Mao Village, the sky was already bright, and they saw that the sky above the village was full of green smoke, and the people of Mao Village were making breakfast.
Mao Village is not a small village, with seven or eight hundred people, and the village is surrounded by low walls.
As far as Zhang Miao knows, the current Maocun can be said to be a bandit's nest. When the thief handsome Zhou Cang robbed Huyang, Sun Ji, a native of Maocun, led a group of people to choose to be thieves, which also made Maocun survive the raging thieves.
After the thieves retreated, Sun Ji did not retreat to Tongbai Mountain with Zhou Cang, but stayed, claiming to have fled back from the thieves with the villagers.
The current power of the Huyang government is very weak, and Huyang makes Cheng Qi afraid of thieves like a tiger, and he doesn't even dare to go out of the Huyang City Gate on weekdays, so naturally there is no way to take Sun Ji like this.
And for Sun Ji's initiative to get rid of the thief's behavior, Cheng Qi was still very happy, naturally he would not send troops to crusade against Maocun, in fact, Cheng Qi has no ability to crusade, it is really in Huyang, there are too many like Sun Ji.
According to the news that Zhang Miaotan heard, although Sun Ji chose to be a thief, he did not do much evil, and he did not hear about him killing people on a large scale. Zhang Miao admires such a person very much.
Because Zhang Miao knew that Sun Ji should be forced to do this. In the case of Mao Village, it is too difficult to preserve it under the looting of thieves. And Sun Ji chose to take the villagers to take the initiative to follow the thieves, so as to avoid the village being robbed by the thieves, and he was able to get out of the thieves safely afterwards, and his wrist was really not bad.
Since he had some appreciation for Sun Ji, Zhang Miao did not choose to attack Mao Village directly, but set up a formation outside the village and ordered someone to shout to the village to let Sun Ji come out.
More than 200 township soldiers lined up in a neat queue, facing the Mao Village, bamboo spears such as forests, shields such as walls, in the front, there were more than 20 archers.
Although the number of people in the whole team is not too large, it looks quite powerful, like a strong army.
At least in the eyes of Sun Ji on the wall, it is. The murderous aura displayed by this small team in front of him could not be compared to the pro-guard army of the thief handsome Zhou Cang!
"Sanshui Township soldiers, could it be the team that exterminated Gegang Du 6 Du Qi not long ago?" Looking at the banner waving in the wind not far away, Sun Ji muttered.
As early as when the soldiers of Sanshui Township were still two or three miles away from Mao Village, Sun Ji got the news.
"We have no grievances with him in Sanshui Village, what are they doing here?" A subordinate puzzled way.
Sun Ji smiled bitterly: "What is there to talk about in this era is nothing more than for money and food, it just so happens that we have been thieves and gave them an excuse to attack openly." ”
The subordinates were not angry: "Although they are powerful, we also have one or two hundred brothers, plus the people of the whole village, I don't believe that they will attack them!" ”
Sun Ji nodded and sneered: "If they want to fight our idea, but they think wrongly, I, Sun Ji, am not easy to mess with." ”
At this moment, the people sent by Zhang Miao came to the gate of the village and shouted at the wall: "My young governor asked Sun Ji to come out to talk!" ”
"Big brother, don't go out, beware of fraud!" His subordinates hurriedly dissuaded.
Sun Ji looked out of the wall fixedly, looking at the neat queue.
Looking horizontally in rows and vertically in lines, although there were 200 people, they were all silent, and a heavy pressure came to their faces invisibly.
looked at the team opposite, and then looked back at their subordinates standing on the wall, one by one, crookedly, talking non-stop, and many people looked out of the wall with surprised and even panicked looks.
O rabble! Sun Ji sighed in his heart, knowing that with his own subordinates, he was far from being an opponent. If people are bent on attacking, even the thin and low wall under them may not be able to stop it.
"Open the door!" Sun Ji sighed and commanded in a deep voice.
"Big brother!" The subordinate exclaimed.
"We have no grievances with them, and they may not kill me." Sun Ji said lightly, "Since there is something to talk about, it is better than making a big move, after all, we are not only ourselves, but also hundreds of fathers and elders in the whole village behind us." ”
His subordinates had no choice but to obey orders.
The gate of the village slowly opened, and Sun Ji rode out of the gate alone, slowly walking towards the opposite side.
