Chapter 21 The means of learning the profession

Li De nodded and agreed: "Hey, I'll go now." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After speaking, he walked to the side of the "board car" team that had already been prepared, said hello to Mr. Li Jiang, who led the team, and went out with them to pick up Mr. Han and his party later. Seeing that his junior brother was about to go out, Xiao Liu Medical Officer said uneasily: "Master, I'll accompany him over." "Everyone in the stockade was well prepared, pulled up these dozen 'board cars', and went out to greet President Han.

That night, Li Deyi lay in bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and then a flash of inspiration appeared in the sea, and a man in shorts and shorts appeared and pulled a wooden cart with a cart full of unknown goods. Li Deyi wrote down the appearance of this 'board car' at that time. This kind of 'board car' is very easy to make, two long logs are erected, the wooden board is horizontally built in the middle, and two wheels are placed in the middle of the board of the car, and a 'board car' is made. It can not only make manpower, but also make oxen and horse-drawn carts, which is very convenient, and this kind of 'board cart' is simple in structure, so it saves time and effort to build, and once there is damage, maintenance is also very convenient.

Coming to General Han's eyes, Medical Officer Xiao Liu began to arrange for manpower to work: "Lift all the injured people to these six carts and pull them back." You can also put some more goods in the back of the pallet truck. The rest of the cargo is piled on top of other pallet trucks. "General Han called four seriously injured soldiers to lie on the cart, and there was still room for one person in the cart, and General Han ordered to take off some of the skins on the pack horse and put them on the cart and pull them back." Hou San'er, where is Hou San? Hurry up, you go and unload some of the changed cow and sheep skins and put them on the cart. "A thin and lean soldier ran from the crowd, and led a few people to unload the skin. Han Jiang always opened his eyes wide, and suddenly saw that a piece of leather was shot by the gang of Tuliao people just now, and hurriedly stepped forward and snatched it up to check it carefully, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn the Tuliao people, I shot a cowhide of Lao Tzu, this cowhide could have been used as a secondary armor, but now it can only be shielded." ”

Mr. Han touched the broken cowhide with one hand, his face was full of distress, and his brows were furrowed. Li Deyi looked dumbfounded directly next to him, and said in his heart that the battle had been won, so he was so distressed for a cowhide. Dr. Liu poked him. said in a low voice: "Our Weibei Battalion has been poor and scared all these years, and the soldiers can't even get together their uniforms...... Speaking of this, Li Deyi suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand, since my mother died, I have no new clothes to wear." Doctor Xiao Liu nodded: "Since Da Di Dashuai left, our Weibei Camp has also become a motherless child." ”

Mr. Li hurriedly stepped forward to snatch this broken cowhide and persuaded: "Old Han, don't patronize this broken cowhide, the Tuliao people still have five horses and a dozen heads waiting for you." As soon as General Han heard this, the distressed expression on his face immediately disappeared, and he turned his head and strode away with the five war horses that had fallen from the Tuliao people.

Han Jiang always walked to a blue-black horse, first calmed the war horse, then skillfully opened the horse's mouth to look at the teeth, then turned up the horse's hooves to look at it, and finally carefully touched the horse's bones, and was actually intoxicated for a while. Mr. Li stepped forward and asked, "Old Han, what's wrong with this horse?" Mr. Han woke up at this time, shook his spirit, and said, "Good horse, this is a good horse." I'm just four years old this year, hehe, don't look at the thin now, it's this winter, I'm hungry, go back and raise it well, and it's a good horse with fat and strong body. Mr. Li then asked, "Have you been gelding?" Mr. Han replied with a smile: "No, this horse can be used as a stallion." Go back and raise it for a while, recover and recover, and wait two years to be a good stallion. When Mr. Li heard this, a big smile appeared on his face.

At this time, Medical Officer Xiao Liu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "We haven't seen a foal in the northern camp for five or six years, and we won't give it to us with a war horse." The horses in our Weibei camp are one dead and one is missing. With this stallion, the cavalry finally had some hope. Han reached out and took out a piece of dry food, broke it and fed it to the blue-black war horse, turned his head and shouted: "The horse is near, where are you dead when the horse is near?" Get out of here! "Yes!" A stout man stepped out of the soldiers and replied in a loud voice.

"You take this horse back and serve it well, with the best materials, you know? In the future, the cavalry of our Weibei battalion will all point to it! "Mr. Han commanded happily." First lead the horses to the stockade, feed them, and then lead them to the camp. Mr. Li then said. Han settled the war horse, walked to the other four horses, and said with a scolding in his mouth: "Damn Tuliao dog, Ma Duo doesn't know that he is distressed." Such a good horse is not fed and rides out, look at these thin horses, hurry up and feed them some dry food first, Lao Han I would rather starve myself than starve these treasures. After checking it, Han Jiang said a little frustratedly: "These two geldings have passed, and they can only be used as war horses, not stallions." Such a good horse, it's bad, take it back together, and feed it well. ”

After inspecting the five horses, the heads of the dozen or so Tuliao people were also cut off by the soldiers, and they were thrown directly on the cart, and the blood dripped down the plank. Medical Officer Xiao Liu pulled Li Deyi, bandaged the soldiers who were hit by the arrows one by one, and arranged for them to sit on the cart, but the arrows were not in a hurry to pull them out. When it was Wang Da Fat's turn to deal with it, he had to let Wang Da Fat squat down before the two of them could get it.

This time, Medical Officer Xiao Liu was not as careful as treating the arrow wounds of those soldiers, and he pulled out the arrows directly. Pedaling Wang Zhuangbiao's fat with his feet, he pulled out one with both hands. Li Deyi was dumbfounded when he looked at the side, and asked in a daze: "Senior brother, why are you pulling out arrows for Brother Wang?" Do you have to pedal to pull it out? Doctor Xiao Liu said without looking back: "Didn't you see that his wounds didn't bleed, these arrows didn't even penetrate the layer of fat on his outside, and they were caught in the fat, and they were pulled out directly, it's okay." Don't look at his fat body, but it's all hard and hard, if I don't use my feet to borrow some strength, I can't pull it out. Li Deyi said "oh", and also reached out to pull out the arrow, he was embarrassed to pedal Wang Da Fat, so he pulled for a long time, the strength of the milk was used up, the sweat came out, and he didn't pull out one.

Doctor Xiao Liu said: "You get up, his flesh, if you don't have the strength of the Qi Realm, the arrow can't be pulled out at all." Wang Zhuangbiao lowered his head and looked at Li Deyi, and said with a smile: "Doll, let your efforts be in vain." "It's because I have little strength that I can't pull it out." Li Deyi said embarrassedly. It's not a problem to just sit back and watch, Li has to turn his head to help the other injured soldiers.

The group picked up and let the pack horses pull the cart and slowly walk back. When they arrived at the village, the old doctor Sun had already prepared a steaming meal in advance, and Han Jiang, who was in a hurry overnight, couldn't take a break, so he sat down and ate directly, and fed the five internal organs temple first. When he was almost done, Han took a piece of cooked mutton in his hand and half a piece of cake in the other hand, and walked around the village while eating.

After turning around, he came to the old doctor Sun and Mr. Li, and Mr. Han sat on a stool made of tree stumps on the spot, and said happily: "This village is doing well, and it can be used as an outpost for us to go north out of the grassland in the future." It was Dr. Sun's idea, haha. Mr. Li was also very interested, and said: "I just counted the things you got back this time, good fellow, there are really a lot, there are thirty raw cowhides, nearly 100 sheepskins, and more than 20 hard bows." When Li said this, Han Jiang slapped his head and shouted, "It's bad, I forgot about the big thing." ”

Mr. Li hurriedly asked, "What's the big deal?" "I also got five stallions and a mare, knowing that there were bandits eyeing us. deliberately asked Hao Renlu to set off overnight with these six horses, and made a detour back to Dingbei County, and I don't know where he is now. When Mr. Li heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore, so Teng stood up, grabbed Mr. Han's arm with both hands, and said hurriedly: "Those five stallions ......" "They are all good stallions, so we have to send someone to pick them up quickly." Han replied in a hurry.

Li took a few steps to the stockade and shouted: "Mao fast legs, Mao fast legs!" Where did the death go! "Yes!" A tall, thin soldier with long legs trotted over. "You immediately go back to Dingbei County to deliver a letter, ask Qian to drive the general organization to the northeast, and send someone to pick up Hao Renlu, saying that he has five stallions. Be sure to pick up these five stallions! The herald soldier named Mao Kuaileg knew that the matter was urgent as soon as he heard it, and he didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't eat any food, so he put on a cake and ran out of the gate directly, and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Doctor Xiao Liu heard this beside him, and he was also in a hurry, and muttered in his mouth: "Five stallions, our Weibei battalion cavalry is really hopeful now, and it can be regarded as a ...... after so many years."

Li Deyi asked puzzledly: "Why are everyone so anxious?" When Medical Officer Xiao Liu heard this, he was directly angry: "Nonsense, if everyone is not in a hurry." When the battle with the Tuliao people is fought, will everyone ride donkeys into battle? There are less than 100 horses in our Weibei camp now, and the most fatal one is a lack of stallions. If there are no more stallions to give birth to foals, in two years we will have no horses to ride in Weibei Camp. The infantry alone could not catch up with the cavalry of the Tuliao. Li Deyi broke the casserole and asked: "I see that many soldiers in our Weibei Battalion are not much slower than horses." ”

Doctor Xiao Liu couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "The original qi cultivation has reached the Qi Strength Realm, and you can indeed outrun the horse, the question is what is the use of you running faster than the horse?" You are fighting with the Tuliao cavalry, not with the Tuliao horses. When people ride horses, you rely on two legs, and the physical strength consumed is a big difference, so what do you do to fight with the Tuliao people? A man can only be a herald if he runs faster than a horse, just like a hairy leg. Unless everyone is like Wang Da Fat, he is gifted and strong like a humanoid monster. But we add up all the border troops of the Pingzhou Dynasty, and we can't find a second one like Wang Da Fat, do you know? Li De nodded and said: "I understand, the key to war horses is to be able to travel, save physical strength, so as to leave physical strength for the cavalry to fight, right." ”

Old Doctor Sun had already walked over at this time, and when he heard this, he touched Li Deyi's head with a smile and said, "It's not bad that you can recognize this." The role of cavalry is not only this, you must know that many soldiers have never cultivated the original qi, just ordinary people, and having horses can make them happy. As soon as the war is fought, the knowledge in it will be deep, and you will understand it slowly, and you don't have to rush for a while. ”

After a few words, the old doctor Sun turned around and walked to Mr. Li, the two discussed in a low voice for a while, and then shouted to Mr. Han and the three of them into the cellar.

Medical Officer Xiao Liu and Li Deyi continued to be busy taking arrows from several soldiers who were hit by arrows, stopping the bleeding, carefully cleaning the wounds, and bandaging. Li Deyi found that the arrows he took out were all made of bones, and asked puzzledly: "Why are they all bone arrows?" Aren't they all arrowheads made of iron? Xiao Liu replied: "The Tuliao people lack iron, only the Golden Horde cavalry of the royal court all use iron arrows, and the slightly larger tribes are also iron arrows, and the beast bone arrows are mixed, and no matter how small they are, only the beast bone arrows can be used." "Then it's the cavalry of the small tribe of Tuliao who want to rob us this time?" They are all beast bones and arrows. Li had to think about this question in a flash.

After a moment's thought, Dr. Xiao Liu said: "Only in the area where the water flow of the Jinshui River is abundant can there be a few large tribes gathered, and due to the lack of water in the upstream area, only the small tribes choose to graze and live here. The Tuliao people live in pursuit of water and grass, and the powerful tribes occupy the land of abundant water and grass, and the weak tribes can only survive in the remote places where the water and grass are barren. But even the big tribes can't get so many iron arrows, so they are only willing to use the iron arrows when they encounter war. This time they were planning to plunder the merchants, and of course they were reluctant to use iron arrows. Li Deyi suddenly realized: "No wonder Mr. Han only took us upstream to the Jinshui River." We are few people, and it is very dangerous to encounter a slightly larger tribe. "The caravans that come and go to do business between the big tribes are often a few groups of people gathered together, and they dare to go there only when they have a thousand people, and they have to hire a lot of guards just in case. If there are fewer people, the Tuliao people can turn their faces and eat you without even bones and slag, and the wolves on the grassland have always eaten like this. Dr. Liu added.

The two of them were busy healing their injuries and grinding, and before they knew it, the sun was setting. It didn't take long for the smell of dinner to spread throughout the village. After dinner, Li Deyi went to cultivate the original qi as usual, and Medical Officer Xiao Liu went to take care of the master alone.

Pushing open the door of the cellar, Medical Officer Xiao Liu walked up to Old Medical Officer Sun with the boiled plaster, "Master, the mountains are wet and cold, your legs are starting to hurt again, this is the plaster I just boiled today, put it on." As he spoke, he took out a piece of wolf skin, smeared it with plaster, and handed it to the master. The hot plaster was applied to his knees, and Old Medical Officer Sun also showed a soothing expression on his face, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Li pushed the door open, walked in directly, and said, "The time has come." Behind him, General Han also followed, and the old doctor Sun reminded: "This grassland hunt, with the help of these dozen carts, you can take turns to let the soldiers get on the car to rest when marching, so as to save physical strength." When facing the enemy, it can also make the board car block in front of the obstacle. If you can rob the horses of the Tuliao people, you can also let the horses pull the carts. ”

"The two hundred and thirty-one people who went out for the expedition are ready, and the dry food is also brought, and all the lamb jerky and biscuits that we have left have at the end." Mr. Li turned his head and tightly grasped Mr. Han's hands, and said solemnly: "Success or failure is here, whether we will continue to eat meat or be poor as pants in the future depends on you." ”

Old Doctor Sun said calmly: "Rest for a night tonight, and then set off tomorrow at sunset." Tonight, I will arrange for men to use the cowhide you brought back to make some leather shields, just enough to defend against the bone arrows of the Tuliao people. General Han hurriedly said, "I want to make some cowhides, and I still hope that these cowhides will make a few leather armors for the brothers to wear." ”

Mr. Li couldn't help but interject and said: "Old Han, you count these small accounts again, if it goes well to the north this time, the things you get back are not only these, I'm afraid you won't be able to count them at that time." This time, we can easily get this opportunity to guard a county alone, and it is a border county close to the Tuliao people, which is an opportunity for our Weibei camp to turn over, you can't just settle small accounts like before. Mr. Han blushed and said embarrassedly: "Aren't I used to living a poor life, careful planning, careful calculation." Hey hey ......"

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Li De finished his homework early in the morning and pulled Dr. Liu to find the master. Li Deyi asked in a low voice, "Master, can I go to this operation?" Before Old Doctor Sun could speak, Doctor Xiao Liu couldn't help but say first: "This time I went to fight with the Tuliao people with real knives and guns, what can you do if you go with you?" Cultivate your original qi well, and it's not too late to go into battle when you reach the Qi Zhuang. ”

Li Deyi didn't dare to argue loudly, and muttered in a low voice: "I think many soldiers are also ordinary people." Old Doctor Sun coughed, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "Your body has not yet grown up, and you are not able to endure a long trek, not to mention that this attack is marching day and night, the war is tense, and there are many variables on the grassland, and there is no certainty of victory." You can't go, and you can't talk about it again. Hearing this, Li De's small head drooped, and the whole person lost his spirit.

Old Doctor Sun continued: "Marching and fighting is not all about the ability of the battle formation, this matter of military food and grass is also very important, although you can't go into battle, you can make more preparations in the rear, and when Han Jiang returns victoriously, you can also go to meet it." Doctor Xiao Liu also followed Master's words and said: "There will be casualties in this attack, you follow me to prepare more, and when the time comes, it is better to save one more person than you go into battle to kill a Tuliao dog thief." There are not many first-aid applications we have brought, this cottage was initially set up, and now there is no condition for the master to use the Taizu treatment technique to save people, these are the next jobs for you and me to do. You don't have to be that frustrated, there are important things waiting for you. ”

Hearing that what he was going to do next was so important, Li Deyi raised his head, his eyes also regained his spirit, and said, "When will you start doing it?" Doctor Xiao Liu rolled his eyes and said, "If you hadn't dragged me to see Master, the wounded barracks would have started to be built at this time." "Ah, then I'll go to work with you." After speaking, he pulled Dr. Xiao Liu and left.

Medical Officer Xiao Liu took Li Deyi, and then brought a few soldiers who knew carpenter and bricklayer work, and began to build a wounded barracks in the village. Taking this opportunity, Dr. Liu began to teach Li Deyi some common sense of arranging the camp.

"The most important thing in our wounded barracks is hygiene." "Senior brother, is 'hygiene' the one Taizu talked about? What does that mean? "How is our wounded battalion different from other battalions?" "Well, our wounded barracks are much cleaner." "Yes, hygiene is clean, you can remember this first, and then learn it slowly." Such a similar conversation sounded from time to time in this small village all morning.

"If the wounded soldiers want to recover well, they must accept the original qi of the sun, so our wounded barracks must be built in the land of Xiangguang, this village is built in the north of the mountain, and our wounded barracks can only choose a high place to build it, so as to receive more of the sun's original qi." Doctor Xiao Liu took the trouble to carefully explain these doorways for his junior brother. "Also, our wounded barracks often wash and change bandages, and the water consumption is also large, if it is in the field, it is best to choose a place close to the river ditch, if it is in the city, it is necessary to be close to the well water." Doctor Xiao Liu walked as he spoke, and Li Deyi followed behind his ass and remembered it attentively.

"This village is only hastily built now, and the fence is only built around the grassland to the north, and there is no device to get water, so for the time being, we can only rely on the nearby Xiaoqing River flowing through the mountains to get water, and the rest can only be talked about later. In order to allow the wounded soldiers to receive timely treatment, our wounded soldiers camp must be built next to the main road in the village, not in the winding streets. Taken together, this is the location of our wounded barracks. "Due to the construction of the village in the mountains, the terrain is undulating, and Dr. Xiao Liu chose a small slope not far from the gate of the village. Next is the carpenter, the bricklayer's work, but these Li Deyi don't have to learn, just understand.

Li De took a note of something in his head, and only then did he have time to speak, "Let's stay here, do we just take advantage of the next few days to finish building the wounded barracks?" Doctor Liu nodded and said, "That's our task, which is to build a camp for wounded soldiers." You should also take this opportunity to consult more of the soldiers here, and learn the knowledge of camping, and you will not be able to do this when marching and fighting. ”

After eating, I saw a half-sized boy in the cottage asking for advice everywhere, and everyone knew that this was Sun Junshi's newly accepted little apprentice, and they were all willing to give a few words. Where the view is broad, the watchtower can be placed, where the terrain is dangerous, where the trap can be arranged, where it is close to the back mountain, a small path can be left, which wall needs to be repaired with one more layer, where to open a small door, and so on, all of which are carefully explained to this half-sized man.

Li Deyi is also very serious in learning, and after consulting a person, he must remember it carefully, and then he will go to ask the next one. Seeing that his junior brother was no longer clamoring to go into battle, Medical Officer Xiao Liu was also relieved and began to busily prepare drugs to stop bleeding.

Half a month of work passed unconsciously, and the cottage gradually took on an appearance, and during this period, a lot of things were moved from Dingbei County. On this day, the old doctor Sun said to the two apprentices: "According to the set schedule, the general Han and his entourage should come back in the past two days, we are ready to greet us, you two talk about what to prepare." The three masters and apprentices were discussing, when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs in the stockade, and Mr. Li shouted: "Assemble, fight urgently!" ”
