Back at the Beku camp, it was late in the evening, and the sun was setting in the west, casting a golden glow on the snowfields covered by ice shells. Although it had melted for two days, the snow was still more than one person high. As soon as I entered the tent, the medical officer who accompanied the army came to report, "General, there are more than a dozen people in the army who have red and swollen eyes, photophobia, and a stable pulse. Please give it to the general." "Well, blindfolded, they were all taken to the tent of the Chinese military camp, and ordered someone to get some cow and goat milk to boil for later use." "No". Ouyang Xuan summoned the white wolf brothers and sisters who were sleeping in the nest, scraped off a small half bowl of saliva, and threw it to the two of them to nibble.

In less than half an hour, fifteen or sixteen Wu sergeants were already waiting outside the account under the support of their robes, covered with black linen. Ouyang Xuan ordered them to enter the account, sat down with the case, and checked them one by one, all of them were very serious snow blindness, conjunctival hyperemia was more serious than the other, and tears continued to flow. He said to the medical officer, "It's okay, wash their eyes with cow and goat's milk first." Take out the penicillin that has not been added to the honey pills for external application from the package brought, pour it into the cow and goat milk, stir evenly and dissolve it thoroughly. "Use this cow and goat's milk to wash their eyes and wash them for a while." took a small half bowl of white wolf saliva and handed it to the medical officer, "After washing your eyes, put a few drops in each person's eyes and blindfold them." Tomorrow morning will be recovered." Ouyang Xuan was still quite confident in the repair ability of the white wolf saliva. These Wu soldiers knelt on their knees and kowtowed in thanks. "Get up, men have gold under their knees, kneel to the heavens, kneel to the ground, kneel to parents in the middle, what is the matter with me? Hurry up, wait for the eye disease to heal, and go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, which is the best way to repay the favor." Quickly get up from behind the desk, help the people up one by one, and let the medical officer take them down.

With the help of the light, he continued to transcribe the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which is Ouyang Xuan's daily work, and he will be able to transcribe it all in a few days, with nearly a thousand color illustrations. Ouyang Xuan transcribed the pre-Qing version, not the modified version of the Qing Dynasty and the Celestial Empire. This is still the old dean's treasure back then, and Ouyang Xuan took several days to finish the whole book. Some of the ancient medical books were taken by Ouyang Xuan in libraries and museums in various places, and the photos of these ancient books alone accounted for one-third of the memory of Ouyang Xuan's tablet. (Some people may say, why do you bring a tablet for outdoor sports?) I would like to answer this question from my own experience: first, maps and positioning. Second, when you go outdoors for a long time, you need to learn about local customs, scenic spots, and past history, which is also the fun of being outdoors. When I first went to the ancient city of Goryeo in Ji'an, I only knew that it was the royal city of ancient Goryeo, and I didn't know anything about its history. Later, when I went back to check the Internet, I learned about the past history, and I missed many places that witnessed history, just went on a trip. Since then, whenever I go out, I will bring my tablet with me to check the places I want to go from the map, terrain, history and culture. The third is that local customs and taboos need to be understood in time, and when encountered, you must inquire immediately, otherwise it will be very troublesome. For example, Kazakhs cannot shake their hands after washing their hands when eating, etc. Fourth, in order to prevent fraud. Fifth, and most crucial, it is necessary to identify plants and animals, which can be eaten and which can be used, especially mushrooms and snakes, and also to inquire about the use of wild conditions to make some tools and chemical drugs. Sixth, it is to understand the meteorological conditions. Seventh, it is the itinerary diary. Eighth, it is to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the day before going to bed, and this has a premise that is the OTG line. If you like the outdoors, you should also have a tablet in your backpack that can talk and an electronic version of the encyclopedia. There are some features of the mobile phone that cannot be replaced. All of this is also premised on a high-performance folding solar panel, rechargeable battery and converter).

When he got up the next morning, Ouyang Xuan went to see the snow-blind soldiers, and they were almost recovered. I made rounds of camps and intensified my training. Only then did they come to the room where King Wu's young son and Tian Lubo were imprisoned, and both of them were leaning against the wall in a daze. Ouyang Xuan came in, Tian Lubo just owed himself and bowed. Liu Ju got up and knelt in front of Ouyang Xuan the moment Ouyang Xuan came in, and kept kowtowing. With a crying voice, he said, "Please wait for the villain's life." Tian Lubo turned his face, extremely reluctant to see this scene. "Get up, I can't be the master of your life and death, and I will wait until Chang'an is sent by His Majesty." "Ask for help, and the villain will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay the great kindness." "Prince, don't insult the name of the Eastern Emperor I, otherwise Hugh blames the old man for being ruthless, if he hadn't waited at the beginning, how would he be ashamed today." , Tian Lubo really couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.

Ouyang Xuan ignored Liu Ju, but walked up to Tian Lubo and ordered the guards to fetch two cups of tea. "Don't think about it anymore, every man has a destiny. If you had captured the land of Jingxiang at the beginning, you would have caused the two kings of Huainan and Changsha to revolt, and you might not have succeeded as you wished. His Majesty is here to relieve the dilemma of the two kings of the southern front. Although Wang An of Huainan is the brother of His Majesty, he is cunning, and he has learned from the defeat of the powerful king, and he will not do this uncertain thing with you. The two kings of Hengshan and Lujiang are all headed by their brothers, not to mention that the king of Changsha is the sixth son? ”

"Alas, one wrong step, every wrong step"

"There is nothing wrong with war, fame and fortune are not good for the country, and it is very harmful to the people. Although the internal affairs are strong, the external affairs are all like this, the Huns are on the sidelines, and they are disturbed every day, where does it come from? It's not due to internal friction. Peace of mind is the king, if you are mediocre, ask for it, then the destiny is good, how is it now? The snow and cold broke the roots. In addition, the world has decided that there is no threat, and the people's will will not obey it. Ouyang Xuan said while drinking tea, squatting opposite Tian Lubo.

"Listening to what Hu Hou said, it does not seem to come from the mouth of a young man who has not yet reached the crown, but it seems to be said by a person who knows his fate." Tian Lubo was not polite, took the glass teacup handed over by the guard, and learned from Ouyang Xuan to taste it slowly.

Ouyang Xuan just smiled, didn't say any more, turned back to Liu Ju and said, "Prince, if you don't want to enter Chang'an, I can give you a piece of white silk, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Hu waits to save me, Hu waits to save me, a certain doesn't want to die, a certain just wants to live". Liu Ju was still there kneeling and crying.

"I knew why I was bothered today, and someone came to get two pairs of beds with General Tian and Prince Wu." Turning his head to Tian Lubo, he said: "After the snow melts, send the two of you to Chang'an, if you need to drink tea, wine and food, you can order the servants to take it." I called the guards and told me something before leaving. Tian Lubo suddenly said, "Hu Hou, isn't there something to do with the Xiangli clan?" ”

Ouyang Xuan looked at Tian Lubo with a calm face, got up and said, "After five waits in the phase, according to this, a hundred miles away, a certain person has visited." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cell. Tian Lubo continued later: "The old man only hates not listening to what the good man said, and he has today's gains, please wait for the family to be kind to the family, please be old." Ouyang Xuan didn't speak, returned to his tent, and continued to transcribe the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Until the evening, Zhao Zhou took Gongliang and the family. I asked about the situation in Zhao Zhou's village, and it was not bad, only a few houses collapsed, and the firewood of each family in the village was burned out, so that they survived the coldest days. At this time, there are stoves in the house, and there will be no matter of Wu military camp tents using braziers for heating, all of which are heated by stoves, and the chimneys are made of mud and stones, which can refer to some ancient city ruins of the Qin and Han dynasties. Gongliang Shu stepped forward and bowed his hand and said: "There is a Meng Hu waiting for concern, the old man came to resign this time and return to Chang'an." "Well, that's fine." Ouyang Xuan waved away the others in the tent, leaving Gongliang Shu alone in the tent, and whispered: "Gongliang Gong, there are still some things to ask for charge d'affaires." "Whatever you want, the old man will do everything."

"Please ask Gongliang to hide Tian Lubo's family in Minyue or Lingnan countries."

"Oh, this matter, the old man should handle it himself, and he will send someone to handle it."

"This matter needs to be carried out secretly, and it will be hidden together with Guangling to find the family of Major General Huan Mao."

"The old man will do it, and he will retire." After speaking, Gongliang bowed his hand and withdrew from the tent.

At noon the next day, the temperature reached seven or eight degrees, and the rate of snow melting accelerated. According to the news that all parties have come back, the heavy snow has covered a radius of thousands of miles, with Huainan being the most severe. This time the heavy snow was very strange, it came very suddenly, and the temperature dropped and rose quickly.

Ouyang Xuan waited here for eight whole days before the ice and snow melted enough to be able to walk, this is a swampy place, and it will be very dangerous for cars and horses to travel. Every day, a group of five people went out hundreds of miles to explore the way, and several of them were trapped in the swamp and almost died, and finally found a way to Guangling and back to Chang'an. Separate 1,000 foot riders to escort Liu Ju and Tian Lubo to Huainan back to Chang'an. The rest of the men and horses, except for 5,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 cavalry to guard Beiku, transported all the grain from Huaicang to Beiku by water, and managed it centrally. With all the remaining more than 130,000 men and horses, he killed Guangling, destroyed the city, and connected several county seats. Zhao Zhou and Zhang Jian cooperated very well, and used the tactics taught by Ouyang Xuan extremely flexibly. Fought all the way and was incorporated all the way, and when they arrived at the city of Guangling, it had reached the scale of 200,000 people. Except for a hundred-man infantry team in the Yulin Army, as Ouyang Xuan's direct subordinates, all of them were scattered to serve as captains in the army. The army of the Western Han Dynasty is not good at fighting, the man is 20 years old, and he has served one month of labor every year since then, called "more pawn". After the age of 23, military service begins to be carried out, and the term of service is generally two years, one year of service in the county or county, called "Zhengshu", and the other year to guard in the border county or to the Beijing Division, called "Shushu" or "Guard". In the event of war, they must also be conscripted into the army at any time and can not be exempted from military service until the age of 56. Following the regulations of military training in the Qin period, the Western Han army in addition to the practice of archery, cavalry, and battle formation, every autumn is taught and read, this is called autumn training (a special chapter will be dedicated to describe the life of civilian autumn training), also known as "all tests", and rewards and punishments are carried out according to the merits of the results. In the border counties, there are often Taishou guards who "will ride ten thousand horses, block obstacles, and chase after them with beacon fire", and this kind of training has the nature of actual combat exercises. Therefore, the quality of these soldiers is worry-free, and the bows and horses are all top-notch, and some are even stronger than those of the Yulin Army who have undergone Ouyang Xuan's special training. While marching and fighting, training is carried out.

Guangling City, now it is an empty city, only 50,000 people are led by Liu Xian, the eldest son of King Wu, to defend the city, due to the heavy snow swamp road closure, Hebei, Shandong and other places The military situation is also broken, and the eight hundred rushed to take Ouyang Xuan to appease the surrender army and the military situation here was sent out for five days. According to the time calculation, it was only a few days before the defeat of King Wu's army. 200,000 horses stood outside the moat, the sun was shining and warm. According to the battalion into a phalanx, behind is Ouyang Xuan asked the soldiers to set off in the woods outside the city in the woods according to their own design to make thousands of catapults, detachable wheels, pulled by horses, are simple lever principle, winch lifting rod, thousands of catties of boulders to make pressure rod weights, throwing things only 100 catties, each catapult, is made by 100 people.

Ouyang Xuan raised his long sword in front of the battle, and the team of 200,000 people shouted in unison: "The Han army is here, and those who surrender will not die." It was as powerful as a small earthquake. Liu Xian stood in the city tower, also trembling, his legs trembling, "General Peng, can the city be held?" A veteran next to him said with a white beard: "Guangling is high, the ditch is deep, the grain is sufficient, and the 200,000 army is blocked for a year, which is still more than enough."

After waiting for half an hour, Ouyang Xuan looked at the city, and there was nothing else but to increase the troops. Let the herald order the trebuchet to load sandbags, adjust the height and throw them to the city. When the trebuchet was all ready, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, the sandbags from the thousands of catapults were thrown under the city wall like rain. In less than an hour, dozens of rounds have been cast. A 30-degree slope of sandbags has been formed under the walls, and the moat has been filled in by sandbags. Nearly six hundred catapults have been damaged.

Let the herald give the order again, and the rest of the catapults will be loaded with stones and bombard the city head freely. Order the infantry to form a spear and knife formation according to their training and prepare in a spear and knife formation. He also ordered three crossbows loaded with yellow explosives to bombard the 1,000-step radius of the attack gap. With the swing of the sword in his hand, the explosion on the city wall sounded first, and then the overwhelming hundred catties of stones smashed on the wall. The Wu soldiers, who had just assembled to carry sandbags, were slaughtered. There is not a single soldier within a thousand paces of the sandbag barrier. In the city tower, Liu Xian and the others have already hid in the unknown place.

Ordered the herald to tell the bed crossbow and trebuchet to stop attacking. "The Chinese army will kill with me!" The sword is pointed forward, and the horse should be the first to rush forward. It was followed by a hundred-man gun and shield array, and then a team of swords and guns.

The ramp made of sandbags quickly reached the city wall, and occasionally a few Wu troops who came over were also killed by Ouyang Xuan. Dismount and place the horse on the side of the entrance to the castle to get out of the way. With a shield in his left hand, a sword in his back and a knife in his right hand, he killed the Wu army that was rushing a thousand steps away. The command of the whole army was in charge of Zhang Jian this time, Lang Wei was responsible for commanding the catapult and the right army, and Zhao Zhou was responsible for commanding the left army and the bed crossbow.

Fighting down is Ouyang Xuan's strength, and the perfect coordination of the sword, shield and sword blocks the Wu army on the left side that reinforces along the trail. On the right side, a spear and shield array of 100 people is responsible for blocking. Several households on both sides of the enemy at the same time, the spear and shield array on the city wall is more powerful than the attack below, countless spears are neatly stabbed out from the shield under the order, the shield blocks all kinds of attacks, because the city wall is narrow, all sides can not spread. As more and more people joined the army on the wall, Ouyang Xuan already had a sword and gun array behind him, retreating Wu Jun little by little. Kill straight to the top of the trail, led by Ouyang Xuan two teams of swords and guns to defend, the other soldiers on the wall strictly according to the square team to kill, the right side of the gun shield array and the follow-up sword and gun array to cooperate with the * retreat Wu army, until * to the upper mouth, after advancing a little, the back of the knife and gun array along the line is not like a tide to kill. The soldiers who did not go up to the wall were still shouting the slogan "Those who descend will not die". After nearly half an hour of slaughter, the Wu army on Ouyang Xuan's side finally surrendered under the leadership of the captain, and then the right side also surrendered. The soldiers who killed the head of the wall did not rush forward, but converged with the army formation that followed behind, and in half an hour, 50,000 people gathered, and then spread out, and a team of 1,000 people attacked forward according to the array, with forward and flank protection, and killed until the city gate, opened the city gate, and the follow-up troops rushed in and assembled into a formation. There is a team for every 10,000 people, led by the school captain, and the street by street and alley are advancing in an orderly manner. Before the sun turned west, the 200,000-strong army had all entered the city, and on the city wall, it continued to advance on both sides, and a team of 10,000 people under the city also attacked and advanced. By evening, the whole city had been occupied. Liu Xian fled out of the south gate with less than 100 people, and was trapped in the swamp before he could go out of fifty miles, and was captured by the pursuing army.

Sitting on the steps of the throne of King Wu's palace, listening to the generals report the results of the battle, this siege battle, 800 people were killed and 2,000 were wounded. He killed 20,000 Wu troops, surrendered less than 30,000, and captured Liu Xian, the eldest son of King Wu, and six of his generals. After listening to the report, Ouyang Xuan got up and said: "General Lang, order Prince Wu to deploy generals to be beheaded outside the gate, and Prince Wu will be detained in a cage with fifty military sticks, and escorted to Chang'an tomorrow." General Zhang ordered the prisoners to be screened one by one, and those who were willing to join the army were mixed, and those who were unwilling were dispersed. The main book, ordered the officials of the sect to deal with the people in the palace of King Wu, and reported the military situation to the court urgently. Gong Cao ordered to record this feats one by one, especially those who died in battle. The whole army, tomorrow for the fallen soldiers, by the blessing people set up an altar, will come to worship. In addition, General Zhang, the family of each deceased was rewarded with 50 stone of rice grain and 100 gold, which was paid by Beiku. Tomorrow the whole army will be on leave for a day. If you have no other intentions, step down." "Promise", the generals and the chief bookkeeper received the order. The main book did not go, "General, is there a lot of reward for the dead, according to the Han law, the deceased will be promoted to a first class, exempted from a son's service, rewarded with rice and grain, and replaced by a childless brother, who has not died in the past few days, has not thought about this matter, and now needs to be cautious, the general's compassion is understood, and it is necessary to guard against the mouth of advice." "In addition to the military, there is still a lot of more than that, and it will be rewarded according to the order of the general, and the general will play with Your Majesty." "No".

Ouyang Xuan led the white wolf to examine and treat the wounded one by one, and most of the penicillin he brought when he came was used, all of which were external injuries, and it was easier to treat the white wolf. There were several fractures, all of which were well placed. By the time the treatment was finished, it was midnight. The rest is at the disposal of the accompanying medical officer. When I returned to the palace of King Wu, I found a main room to make a military account, wrote a note, and handed it to the main book.

Standing on the south corridor on the second floor of the palace room of King Wu with a guitar on his back, he looked at the starry sky, and wanted to play a song to express his emotions after the war. But a comet that appeared in the west made Ouyang Xuan lose interest. Quickly get the telescope and stand in the cloister to take a closer look, it doesn't look like a comet. If you don't have a telescope, you really can't tell the difference, the star has multiple parts, separated from each other, and it seems that the rearmost one seems to be very large, and the tail is red. It seems that something is wrong, the comet Ouyang Xuan has seen it, but it is not like this. Hurry up and ask the guards to call the oath and the master book. The three of them observed for three hours, and the sky was already white, and the other stars had disappeared, only this star was still hanging high in the west with its tail, and it was getting bigger and bigger. You can already see the reddened stone in multiple pieces. General Lang quickly went to inform the officers and men of the whole army, immediately dressed and went out to watch the stars. If there is a natural fire, take shelter in time". "No" Lang swore to take the order with a puzzled face. "Hu, you can know where this star comes from." "It's a meteorite outside the sky, and the swords are all made of meteorites."
