Chapter 80: Watching the Fire from the Other Side, Preparing to Shoot
"Could it be that Sun Quan has other conspiracies?" Liu Bei asked suspiciously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Cui Zhouping said in a heavy voice: "I just received the news that Sun Quan has not left Changsha, and Changsha is still an army of tens of thousands, and we have no way to be sure whether the other party is Sun Quan's person?" ”
"You mean, it's possible that someone else sneaked up and occupied the three counties." Liu Bei asked with some surprise.
Cui Zhouping touched the beard on his chin and said, "It's not impossible, so let's wait for the news first, I believe that there will be news from General Zhang's side soon." ”
Liu Bei was persuaded to dismount, but he still ordered the army to stand by.
Speak in a hurry, speak quickly. Since Zhang Fei learned that Sun Quan had occupied his three sites, he came to the outside of Zhuji County with 5,000 soldiers and horses alone. Seeing the big Sun character inserted on the pond in Zhuji County, Zhang Fei was not really a fool, raised his right hand to signal the troops to stop advancing, and sent scouts to inquire about the news. Half a day later, the scouts sent out came back and reported: "There are more than 20,000 defenders in the city, and soldiers wearing Jiangdong military uniforms are patrolling the city and the city, and the four walls are guarded. ”
"Can you find out who the enemy commander is, but that Jiangdong blue-eyed child?" Zhang Fei was also interested in this person who took his three county towns like a ghost, and couldn't help asking.
Later, when Zhang Fei asked about the other party's commander, he was a little puzzled, but he still answered truthfully: "Tell the general, my subordinates don't know who the blue-eyed boy is, and the enemy has no commander, just a vanguard officer named Lu Xun." ”
"Lu Xun, I haven't heard of it. However, this person must have some ability to take me three times overnight, and I will make plans after I tell my eldest brother and military advisor about their strategies. "Although Zhang Fei has always been reckless, he has also experienced a hundred battles and has seen various tactics before, and this person has such ability, he is still cautious. 、
If Liu Bei saw the current appearance of Zhang Fei, he would definitely feel comforted, if Zhang Fei could have been so patient earlier, how could he let himself be defeated again and again. As the scout messenger quickly stepped up, Liu Bei also received the news from Zhang Fei that night, and decided to personally lead 20,000 soldiers to support. And in order to let Cui Zhouping not delay him, after Cui Zhouping fell asleep, he sent troops overnight and galloped all the way.
He didn't know that when he led the army away, Cui Zhouping had already stood in front of the tent. But Cui Zhouping didn't stop it, he knew that Liu Bei's mind couldn't stop it, and he also received news that the opponent was the two great wizards of Jiangdong. For the names of Lu Xun and Lu Su, he has been famous for a long time, and I believe that there is no vanity under the fame. So now that he can't stop it, he can only recover the loss and minimize the damage value. Moreover, in this battle, he learned that Sun Quan still had more than 100,000 troops left in Changsha, which showed that Sun Quan's ambition was not here. Originally, as long as a small number of troops were used to contain the opponent's actions, compared to Sun Quan, he would definitely attack Jingzhou, because the current Yangzhou is down, and Jingzhou is rich, Yangzhou and the two tigers hold each other, and Jingzhou is indeed a mud monkey. Sun Quan is not a fool, of course he knows how to start, but it is just a plan to attack the west. But Liu Bei was completely different before, directly exposing Yangzhou's strength. With Lu Xun and Lu Su can only win one or two games on their side, it is estimated that the end of Yangzhou is coming.
Therefore, Cui Zhouping did not advocate fighting with all his might, and Liu Bei's army was already exhausted after the battle of Cao Cao and then the battle with Liu Qi. Now with the same strength, with a tired division to meet the other party's morale of the Jiangdong soldiers, the chance of victory is less than two percent, if Cui Zhouping knew that Lu Xun brought 50,000 troops this time, he would never dare to say this. He thought that the vanguard army was full of calculations, and the original defenders of the three county towns were estimated to be only 20,000 or 30,000, and Liu Bei removed the soldiers and horses stationed in various places, and the soldiers who could actually be used were almost 30,000, so Cui Zhouping's estimation was wrong, which also made Liu Bei suffer a big loss.
In fact, Lu Xun was also quite speechless here, he set off with a large army, first sent hundreds of scouts and lurking troops into the three county towns a few days in advance, and then surrounded the county towns one by one with an army of 50,000. Then he reported his name, "Lu Xun, the pioneer of the Jiangdong Advance Army." ”
As a result, the county commanders who defended the city opened their doors and surrendered. This made Lu Xun very sentimental, so he marched into the three counties in one go, and as a result, hahahehe, he occupied the three county towns without a single soldier. This is actually an oversight on the part of Liu Bei, because Liu Bei's army and territory have just arrived, and the county orders of each county seat are all left by Yuan Shu before, or a respected figure from the local clan is selected to represent it. Coupled with her husband's territory, where does a rough person know how to govern the government affairs of the county, and there is no corresponding guard in each county. Therefore, as soon as Lu Xun's 50,000 army arrived, he had already scared the county magistrate in the city into tears, and he immediately ordered the door to surrender, and everyone was happy.
But yes, the vanguard advance force, from ancient times to the present, has a maximum of 230,000 horses. As a result, you Jiangdong is good, it is directly an army of 50,000, and there are only a total of how many people there are on Liu Bei's side, do you want to concentrate all of them to fight to the death. This also made Liu Bei's 20,000 troops and Guan Ping's 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus Zhang Fei's 5,000 men and horses, nearly 30,000 people arrived outside Zhuji County and camped on the spot, standing still.
It's not that Liu Bei doesn't want to move, but he can't move for the time being. Lu Xun had long replaced the three county towns with his own people, and let the army rest in Zhuji, the most cutting-edge city, to wait for work. Now that he received Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, he came to Lu Su to discuss strategies and think about how to start a war. Lu Su didn't have Lu Xun's murderous appearance, he knew that the purpose of coming this time was to contain Liu Bei, as long as Liu Bei was caught off guard and couldn't take care of anything else, he could say that the lord and Liu Qi would send troops. When Liu Qi and Liu Bei are caught in a big battle, then the lord can attack Jingzhou with a large army. So now Lu Su doesn't have much interest in starting a war with Liu Bei.
However, his friend Lu Xun was so loyal to this, and he couldn't shirk it, so the two discussed it and prepared to test the water for Liu Bei.
On the side of Liu Xuewu in Yizhou, there is no precise equipment to purify normal saline, glucose and medical alcohol. It can only be calculated using a formula, using mass conversion, to make a similar amount of normal saline, and the distilled alcohol he makes from rough wooden pipes can only be used. The only thing that cannot be solved now is blood type blood supply and glucose supplementation, although Liu Xuewu has always used milk and other substitutes, but it can only be supplied through the mouth esophagus, and also considering how to replenish physiological needs in time after surgery. Hua Tuo has been preparing for a month, and he is familiar with the method of craniotomy and the process of surgery. During this period, no less than 100 people died at the hands of Hua Tuo, and there were more than a dozen successful cases. Although the current conditions are still relatively rushed, Cai Wenji's condition and physical condition have indeed reached a situation where surgery is unavoidable.
Hua Tuo burned incense to wash his hands, vegetarian for three days, adjusted himself to the best state both mentally and physically, and prepared for surgery.
