Chapter 372: Ten Days (9)
Haidu, one of the two richest counties in Yuzhang County. Thirty miles southeast of Haiyang City, in a large camp, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu, Jiang Qin and others were sitting and drinking, waiting for Huang Gai's news with a relaxed face.
Since the Xuzhou army sent troops to attack Yuan Shu, Sun Ce has carried out the battle against Yuzhang in accordance with the agreement with Tian Fan.
Yuzhang County did not withstand his attack, without the support of Yuan Shu and the leadership of a good general, in just over a month, more than a dozen county towns in the entire county fell into the hands of Sun Ce.
However, there were many wealthy clans in the area, who controlled a large number of people and land, and built fortresses against the government, and if they did not clean up these people, Yuzhang County would only be under Sun Ce's rule in name.
Obviously, Sun Ce didn't want that. So, he launched a war to exterminate those wealthy clans. This kind of battle will not arouse the opposition of the family under Sun Ce's rule, many of these wealthy families took advantage of the chaos in the world to suddenly make a fortune, and the money can be accumulated in a short time, but in the eyes of the family, they are still untouchables. Moreover, most of them are not highly educated, and they do not conform to the principles of the family, relying on the strength of the people, they do not do bad things, and they do not bully those families, and those clans are naturally happy to see this kind of war happen. Anyway, it is impossible for Sun Ce to take all the land back to him, and it is impossible for all the people he got to be brought back to Wu County, so they can get a piece of the pie, which can be said to have a lot of benefits.
The difficulty of the war was not great, and when he fought the first fortress, Sun Ce only led the people to rush once, and then took the fortress. But the harvest was unexpected by Sun Ce and others! With just this one fortress, Sun Ce received food for two months for an army of 20,000, as well as countless wealth.
Sun Ce suddenly became addicted, and launched a plan to comprehensively exterminate the disobedient and wealthy clans in Yuzhang County! Over the past two months, they have captured more than 20 forts, including 10,000 men and 1,000 or 2,000 men. After a circle was laid, the food obtained by countless people was really a lot of money, and Sun Ce could wake up with a smile in his dreams.
Today's Huang Gai is the last one in Yuzhang County.
Zhou Yu calculated the accounts and said happily: "Brother, this expedition is really as Boguang said, and it has gained a lot!" My brother has just calculated an account, and all the various food and baggage consumed by our troops this time add up, and it is only one-tenth of the capture! What's even more rare is that after capturing these fortresses, we have more than 100,000 more people under our control, including more than 30,000 strong men! ”
Sun Ce is also happy, and it is no wonder that most of the people who have fought since ancient times have lost money, but this time he actually made a fortune. Although it is also because of the small number of troops, the short time, and the small amount of materials consumed, it seems that there is a huge difference between input and output, but after all, it is earned, and it is a big deal!
Cheng Pu and the other generals were also very happy, and when they saw Sun Ce, they were in a good mood, and they were busy and funny, and for a while, everyone in the big tent was happy, and they were all smiling.
Suddenly, there was a burst of hearty laughter outside the tent, and the curtain was lifted, and a general of about fifty years old strode in. This person is eight feet tall, with big ears, gray hair and beard, a tall and sturdy body, wearing a black iron armor and a red cloak.
When everyone saw this, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Huang Gai was holding a steel whip in his right hand and two bloody heads in his left hand, and his body was drenched in blood. He laughed heartily three times, and then threw the two heads to the ground and said loudly: "Lord, time has not passed, right?" ”
Soldiers, they are all so strong, and they all like to compete for the first! Huang Gai is not young, but his competitive heart is not weak at all. The fortress attacked this time is the last one in Yuzhang County, and those generals used to take turns to fight, you use 3,000 people, I will use 2,000 people, you take it in two hours, I will take it in one hour. Everyone marked their efforts and set records one by one.
This time, Zhou Tai originally wanted to go, he asked for 2,000 people, two hours, but Huang Gai didn't do it! He said, a thousand headquarters, an hour, willing to make a military order!
Sun Ce was unwilling, but he couldn't stand Huang Gai's fiery temper, so he could only allow it. Fortunately, Huang Gai lived up to expectations, he rushed to the front with the first soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers was high, and the fortress was taken down in just one round of charge.
Sun Ce laughed, slapped his right hand on the low table in front of him, and said loudly: "Old General Huang, your majesty has not diminished back then!" With only 1,000 people, in less than an hour, this unusually strong castle with a defensive strength of 3,000 troops was laid, which really boosted the morale of our army! ”
Huang Gai smiled happily, pulled his bloodstained beard, and said, "Those people, in the eyes of a certain person, are like local chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning!" ”
Zhou Tai and the others clasped their fists and said: "The old general is brave, we will be respected!" ”
Happy Huang Gai is almost unable to find the north!
At this moment, a long shout outside the tent, "Report~~!" Huainan Military Intelligence! ”
This information is naturally also a matter of the plague in the Xuzhou army.
Zhou Yu is a smart person, and his vision is also very long-term, and his guess is consistent with Guo Jia. When he explained his analysis and inventory, Huang Gai and other generals screamed excitedly, clamoring that they should immediately prepare to cross the river and get a piece of the pie!
Sun Ce always felt that this matter was strange, and looked at Zhou Yu, who was still pondering, and he didn't rush to give an order.
When the generals saw that they did not speak, they couldn't help but slowly calm down. After a while, Zhou Yu said slowly: "Brother, everyone, I always feel that this matter may not be so simple. There are quite a few capable people in the Xuzhou camp, and they ......"
Glancing at the crowd, he said, "Let's prepare with both hands!" The matter here has been dealt with, leaving a general to guard, and then find a Wenchen to pacify this place. As for the rest of the army, well, leave a general behind, and lead the rest of the army to slowly retreat under the banner of the lord in order to confuse the enemy. Brother, we led the rest of the generals and led the light cavalry to rush to Jingkou day and night, in case the Xuzhou army was really defeated, we immediately led the water and land armies across the river! Hehe, no matter what, it is possible for us to take the three counties of Guangling County, Xiapi Kingdom, and Pengcheng Kingdom! ”
Sun Ce nodded and said, "What Gong Jin said is reasonable!" Okay, just do what Gong Jin wants! ”
Qin Siyu's medical skills are indeed very clever, although she had only heard of plague before, but after a few days of contact, she summed up the four types of plague according to the syndrome differentiation method of traditional Chinese medicine.
It is characterized by sudden enlargement of the groin, armpit or side of the neck, and submandibular nucleus, red and hot pain, fever, red face, red eyes, thirst, yellow urine, red tongue, and pulse count.
Fever poisoning closed lung syndrome, characterized by high fever, irritability, cough and chest pain, shortness of breath, phlegm foamy, hemoptysis bright red, blue lips, red tongue, and pulse slippage or urgency.
The blood syndrome of fever entering the camp is characterized by body heat and irritability, red face, faint speech, purple and black macules, epistaxis, hemoptysis or blood in the stool, blood in the urine, dry tongue, and thin pulses.
Yin exhaustion and yang detachment syndrome, characterized by faintness, pale, or purple-black, cold limbs, weak breathing, sweaty hands, dry lips, and a weak pulse.
Dozens of doctors and craftsmen in the medical camp brainstormed and researched the corresponding four medicinal decoctions according to the specific appearance of the disease, and then combined with acupuncture and moxibustion, a set of more targeted treatment methods was born.
These works were just completed before Siyu's onset of illness, and after her onset, she was fortunate to be one of the first batch of trialists.
Siyu was placed in a larger tent, with two female guards and two female soldiers taking care of her around the clock.
The illness she committed was a hot poison chest closure certificate. In this type of condition, the patient is very painful, with chest pain, shortness of breath, and severe coughing from time to time, the patient has difficulty breathing.
Tian Fan saw with his own eyes that countless soldiers were in unbearable pain because of this disease, moaning in low voices or screaming loudly, and many soldiers shouted, "Kill me, kill me!" ”。 However, Siyu showed unusual strength.
In addition to arranging various things, Tian Fan has always been by her side. Serve her spitting, wipe her limbs and forehead to cool down, pat her on the back, feed her medicine, feed, etc. She never moaned, never screamed in pain, Tian Fan could only see her unbearable from her distorted face and occasionally twitching limbs, and the end of her pitch when she spoke.
Tian Fan watched her beautiful face become swollen, her arms and legs became thicker, and a rash appeared on her neck, which changed from small to large, from light to dark, and finally to a dark black color, and felt very uncomfortable. Seeing that Tian Fan couldn't bear it, she instead insisted on comforting Tian Fan.
She is very positive and very cooperative with various treatments. Tian Fan can see the vitality and strong desire to survive from her. However, on the evening of the second day of the onset of the disease, because of excessive pain and persistent high fever, Siyu fell into a coma!
At this moment, Tian Fan panicked!
A group of medical craftsmen who were urgently summoned suddenly changed their faces when they saw Siyu in a coma! According to their experience in the past few days, there is a chance that the unconscious will not survive!
After several medical craftsmen took Siyu's pulse, although they were all unbearable, they all shook their heads.
Tian Fan's face turned pale, his body shook a few times, and the medical craftsman on the side hurriedly supported him, so he didn't fall down. He also knows the level of these people, and he can't threaten them unreasonably, if he can't save people.
Just when he was at a loss, Liu Quan strode in.
In a group of people, he easily confirmed Tian Fan, hurriedly hugged his fist at him, and said, "General Tian, someone outside the camp has come to visit you." It was a Taoist priest, and he said that it was your old man, called Yu Ji, and said that he came specifically for the plague! ”
It took Tian Fan a long time to come back to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he rushed to Liu Quan's side like a gust of wind, grabbed his arm, and said in disbelief: "What did you say his name was?" ”
Liu Quan was a little painful when he was scratched, gasped, and grinned: "He said his name is Yu Ji!" ”
Tian Fan was like a drowning man, grasping a life-saving straw, and his heart was ecstatic. He remembered hearing Yin Chao say that Yu Ji's medical skills were superb. He hurriedly said, "Please! Invite him here immediately, I want him to come over to see Siyu immediately! ”
