After Ma Bin, who was in Weibin Dazhai, learned that Zhao Yun and Yang Bai were in a bloody alliance, he smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong has made another great contribution this time!" If he was replaced by Yin Feng, he would have to bury Yang Bai's 10,000 army alive! ”

Guo Jia laughed and said, "General Zhao is indeed bold!" If Zhang Lu really rebels this time, then the tens of thousands of troops of Yang Huai and Gao Pei will be automatically withdrawn, so that Yangping Pass will not be in danger."

Ma Bin said: "Even so, it is difficult for General Ben to be sure whether Zhang Lu will rebel!" After all, this matter is very important to him, and once it starts, he must not lose it! ”

Guo Jia said: "If the guess is correct, Zhang Lu will definitely rebel this time!" This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, if he doesn't rebel, he is willing to hand over his head! ”

After hearing Guo Jia say this, Ma Bin slapped the case a few times: "Okay! Since the military advisor is so sure, then General Ben has nothing to doubt! We just need to concentrate on dealing with Lu Bu now! Yangping Pass was handed over to General Zhao, and General Ben was very relieved! ”

Guo Jia said: "Recently, there has been no movement in Lu Bu's army, which is very different from Jia Xu's style!" We have to be careful! ”

Ma Bin nodded and walked out of the tent, only to feel the cool breeze swishing, and when he looked up, he found that the black clouds were rolling in the distance, which was very spectacular.

Guo Jiadao, who followed behind Ma Bin: "It seems that we are about to usher in a heavy snow again!" ”

Ma Bin said: "Pass on my general order, immediately let all battalions pay attention to the cold, and speed up the pace of grain transportation, and stock up more grain and grass in Dasanguan in case of accidents!" ”

Guo Jia left first after receiving the order, and the spies who went to investigate Lu Bu's army on Ma Bin's order hurriedly walked to Ma Bin's side at this time and said: "General Qiqi, Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops have not moved at all since they set up camp in Chencang. ”

"No movement is the most dangerous! Let's find out! ”

The soldier received the order and hurried away.

It was the second watch of the night, and there was a sudden snowfall. By the second day, the snow was still not stopping, and the snow was no longer up to Ma Bin's knees at this time.

Ma Bin hurriedly summoned Guo Jia to discuss countermeasures, Guo Jia said: "According to rough statistics, in Weibin Dazhai alone, hundreds of horses were frozen to death, and there were also **100 soldiers who froze to death and frostbite!" ”

Ma Bin was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked Guo Jiaru what to do.

Guo Jiadao: "Although I have prepared a lot of clothes and bedding before, but now it is obviously not enough, and the current plan can only urge Master Yang to transport clothes and bedding from Hanzhong as soon as possible!" However, according to the following understanding, the plank road has been completely blocked by heavy snow, and I am afraid it will take some time to transport clothes. ”

"When the army was dispatched, General Ben asked Master Yang to collect ginger from all over the world, did you bring it with you on this march?"

Guo Jia suddenly realized: "When the army was dispatched, Master Yang did not let the soldiers transport those gingers, but a few days ago, he felt that the weather seemed to be getting colder and colder, so he asked the soldiers to transport them to the plank road crossing, Dasanguan and us in three batches. You almost forgot about it. ”

Ma Bin hurriedly said: "It's good that the things are here!" General Ben also forgot, but just suddenly remembered it. Please hurry down and order the soldiers to make ginger soup to help the soldiers keep out the cold! Also, don't forget to send someone to remind General Yin and General Wang to use ginger soup to keep out the cold, and at the same time tell the two of them to be careful, and be sure to beware of a surprise attack by Lu Bu's army! ”

After Guo Jia retired, Ma Bin remembered a story about the origin of ginger that his master had told him when he was in Shaolin Temple before his soul pierced.

In ancient times, people ate animal meat and wild fruits, and many people fell ill and died because of this. At that time, people did not know medicine, and once they got sick, they had to resign themselves to their fate.

Emperor Yan was very anxious when he saw the pain of people's diseases. One day, he came back from the mountains, tired and sweaty, with a sore back and legs. Greeting him at the door was the transparent glass poodle he had fed. Emperor Yan suddenly remembered that this dog shook his head and tail all day long, crossed mountains and mountains, and never got sick, could it be that he ate something different from eating? Did it eat the roots, stems, and leaves of the plants and trees in the mountains? In order to find out the mystery, he disregarded his personal safety and took the glass poodle to trek through mountains and rivers, carefully observing the dog's reaction after eating various foods.

On this day, Emperor Yan took his dog from Chaling Tiejia Mountain to Bailuyuan by the Huanshui River, enjoying the natural scenery while tasting medicine and recognizing herbs. Suddenly, a heavy rain soaked him, and he felt dizzy, his chest was tight, and he was unsteady on his feet. At this time, the glass poodle was gnawing on the root, and Emperor Yan also picked up a piece, washed it, sat on the ground and chewed it slowly, only feeling that it was full of spicy and tasteful. After a while, my mind was relieved and my spirit was greatly lifted. Therefore, Emperor Yan named the plant "ginger" after his surname, which means that it gave him a second life.

After a long time of observation of the glazed poodle, and his own taste of herbs, Emperor Yan realized the bitter cool, sweet tonic, and sour appetizer, and then further explored: using flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, and roots of different plants and trees to treat different diseases, and received good curative effects, thus inventing medicine.

Ginger has a long history of cultivation in Huaxia, there is "planting pear ginger gui" in the ancient book of Huaxia "Book of Rites", "not withdrawing ginger food" in "Analects", "Records of History" has "thousands of ginger leeks, its people and thousands of households and other halls", "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" has "and people are beautiful, Yangpu ginger".

The reason why Ma Bin has studied ginger is also because one year there was a snowstorm, and countless people froze to death in the villages around the Shaolin Temple.

Seeing this, Ma Bin's master felt pity, so he asked Ma Bin and his brothers to boil ginger soup for free for the people in the villages around the Shaolin Temple to keep out the cold.

"One thought can purify sentient beings, and one thought can destroy sentient beings!" This is after they used ginger soup to help the people keep out the cold, Master Ma Bin said a very meaningful sentence to Ma Bin, at that time Ma Bin did not understand what this sentence meant, and later because the winter of that year has been cold, the price of ginger has become extremely expensive, so that many robbers and bandits specifically targeted those farmers who grow ginger, so that they died very badly! Ma Bin only realized the truth of this sentence.

This time, Ma Bin used ginger soup to help the soldiers keep out the cold, and he was also quite guilty in his heart. Although most of the ginger is produced in the south and has little to do with Hanzhong, such a large-scale purchase of ginger will inevitably raise the price of ginger, and although the farmers who grow ginger are profitable, it may not be a good thing for the common people.

This is a very contradictory approach, but for Ma Bin, everything is circulating, he is currently standing in the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies, he must be responsible for his soldiers, perhaps only by being responsible for them, can the people of the world live a good life as soon as possible......
