Liu He led his army to the west, seemingly relaxing and comfortable to visit relatives and friends, but in fact, he was attentive and attentive step by step, which was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Liu He deliberately stayed under Juyong Pass for half a day, and specially took the time to meet with the general Sun Li, who had a secret mission to explain to him. Juyongguan is the northwest barrier and gateway of Jicheng, which can support along the outer Great Wall and retreat to help Jicheng, just like the waist and eye parts of the human body, which usually do not feel critical, but once you need to be strong and strong, you can see the importance.

Liu He met Nalou when he passed through Juyong County, far from inviting him to have a drink with the elders of the clan, and the tens of thousands of Xianbei and Wuhuan people who migrated from the north of Baishan in the next step had to rely on Nalou to manage and suppress. After the troops on the Western Front engaged Kebineng's army, if necessary, Liu He would temporarily seconded a cavalry from Shanggu Wuhuan to the Western Front to help in the battle.

After a few days, Liu He finally led the army to Macheng, Zhao Yun, Wei You, Cheng Xu, Han Heng, Liu Fang and other civil and military officials all went out of the city to greet them, although the scene was not very big, but the atmosphere was warm, and everyone was looking forward to Liu He's arrival.

The banquet is still placed in the Tong Ji Beef and Mutton Restaurant, which carries many good memories of Liu He and many of his subordinates. Hearing that the eldest prince was coming, Tong Ji's old shop had been busy the night before, braised beef, boiled bone soup, and smoked sheep's trotters, and was very busy. Now Tong Ji has opened more than a dozen branches in Daijun and Shanggu, and on weekdays, these things are for the guys to be busy, and there are only a few guests who can let the old boy cook himself.

Hua Tuo's master and apprentice who came with Liu He were fortunate to be invited to attend the banquet, and when Hua Tuo entered the door, he really saw Fan Thirteen, a sheep dealer who had a relationship in Yuhe County some time ago, in the hall on the first floor.

When Liu He came to this beef and mutton restaurant to eat, he would never close the building. The second floor was just temporarily cleared, and this time it was like this. Macheng has been run by Liu He's men for many years, and now it is as strong as an iron bucket, and every resident in the city may be the eyes of the military, so there is no need to worry about someone having bad intentions towards Liu He.

If you want to assassinate Liu He, you not only need very accurate intelligence, but also a group of extremely skilled dead soldiers, and you have to do it in a suitable environment, and Macheng is Liu He's home field, and water and oil can't be splashed at all. What's more, Liu He is also guarded by Zhao Yun and others, and there is a miracle doctor like Hua Tuo who is responsible for detecting drugs, if there are still people who can kill Liu He, it is estimated that Liu He has died many times.

When Fan 13 saw the bearded Hua Tuo walking side by side with a rich son, and Zhao Zilong, the general of the cavalry, actually led the way. When he was followed by several heavyweight officials in Ma Cheng, he was so shocked that he was about to drop his jaw on the ground. Li Dangzhi, who was walking behind, saw Fan Thirteen. Deliberately squeezing his eyes at him. It means that hurry up and prepare the high-quality fat sheep produced in Daqingshan.

It's just a small episode. Fan 13 had now guessed the true identity of the rich man, and instead of talking to any of the diners in the hall, he rushed back to the sheepfold he had set up in the city to lead the sheep......

After the two tables were full, Liu He solemnly introduced Hua Tuo to Zhao Yun and others, and he said: "I specially invited the miracle doctor from Xuzhou, and Mr. can be unique in the world in terms of surgery." In particular, the original 'Ma Boiling San' can have the effect of analgesia and paralyzing nerves, even if the soldiers are stabbed in the stomach and intestines by the enemy on the battlefield, as long as the blood is not exhausted. If you still have a breath, you can save it! ”

When everyone heard that Hua Tuo's medical skills had reached such a level, they all showed shocked expressions. Zhao Yun was the first to comprehend Liu He's intention of saying this, got up and hugged his fist to Hua Tuo and said: "On behalf of tens of thousands of soldiers on the Western Front, the last general would like to welcome the divine doctor to Macheng, and also ask Mr. to give him advice and teach the doctors in the army who are specially responsible for the treatment of war wounds to teach unique skills, so that they can save more siblings on the battlefield in the future." ”

Hua Tuo came to Macheng with Liu He this time, precisely for this matter, so he nodded and said: "Hu Lu is coming, Hua should do his best for the army to resist the strong enemy." ”

Liu He said to Liu Fang again: "The divine doctor came this time, and also brought some secret prescriptions, as an official in charge of technological innovation in the school captain's office, you must keep these prescriptions well, and at the same time organize your subordinates to seize the time to allocate and adjust various pills and medicines that can be used on the battlefield for epidemic prevention, hemostasis, disinfection, refreshment, analgesia, etc.!" ”

Liu Fang nodded, and promised Liu He with a solemn face: "Don't worry, Gongzi, his subordinates understand the stakes and will definitely not let these prescriptions spread." ”

After the feast, Hua Tuo's master and apprentice were arranged by Zhao Yun to live in a secret military camp, where hundreds of doctors from the army and hundreds of folk doctors from the Macheng area were waiting, and they were all holding charcoal and paper in their hands with reverence and piety, listening intently to Hua Tuo's medical experience. Although their peers are enemies, Hua Tuo has gone far, far in front of them, so that they can't have rejection and jealousy at all, if it weren't for Liu He's special arrangement, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to listen to the teachings of the divine doctor in this life.

The so-called healer is a soldier who knows how to practice medicine and has the identity of a soldier, and is now habitually called a healer, but in fact, he is a military doctor in later generations. As a part of the logistics officers, the doctors can not only treat the wounded and sick soldiers in the army, but also regulate and relieve the nervous and irritable emotions of the officers and men, and can also act as propagandists and "cheerleaders" on the battlefield, and their role should not be underestimated.

Liu He once calculated an account for his generals, rescuing a soldier from the battlefield can not only save the time of re-recruiting and training new soldiers, but also reduce the cost of pensions, and the possibility of the rescued soldier being injured again in future battles will be lower and lower, and after he becomes a veteran of a hundred battles, the various costs saved are equivalent to re-recruiting and training ten soldiers!

While Hua Tuo was teaching medicine in the army, Liu He was discussing with his men about the enemy's strategy.

Zhao Yun, as the commander of the war on the Western Front, first introduced: "In accordance with the order issued by the Commander's Office in the early stage, the Commander's Mansion has mobilized 200,000 people, and has completed the transfer of the population, livestock, grain, timber, and stone near Daqingshan and the Baishan Governor's Mansion. ”

"According to the news sent by the spy personnel sent by the Military Intelligence Department to the northern desert yesterday, this time Kebineng mobilized 70,000 young and strong knights from nearly 100 tribes in Xianbei in central China, and divided them into three routes: left, center, and right, from the three directions of Longcheng, Wolf Juxu Mountain, and Beihai to the north of Daqing Mountain. The leader of Xianbei on the left is named Helian, who is the son of the previous Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai, the leader of Xianbei in the middle is Kebineng, and the leader of Xianbei on the east road is named Yu Zhuyan, who is the son-in-law of Kebineng. ”

Liu He asked Zhao Yun: "Where is Du Ji, the governor of Baishan, now?" ”

Zhao Yun replied: "Du Duwei is unwilling to withdraw to the inner line with most of the troops, and now he is still staying in Baishan City to direct the army and civilians to prepare for resisting the enemy. ”

"Well, as a Shangguan, it should be so." Liu He Jiaxu said.

Wei You said loudly: "Du Duwei has been working diligently in the north for more than a year, and he has begun to build Baishan City, and now he has led his troops to evacuate the place where his heart has been condensed, but I am afraid that he will not be able to pass the hurdle in his heart." ”

Wei You said this very implicitly, if he was not a particularly sensitive person, he would think that he was doing something for Du Qi, but in fact he wanted to ask why he wanted to withdraw the military and civilians north of Baishan to the interior, which was almost tantamount to giving up the fruits of hard work.

Guo Jia explained to everyone: "Half of the war on the Western Front this time was the result of our deliberate luring of Xianbei people, and half of it was the result of instigation and instigation by the state side. The reason for this layout is to pave the way for the attack on Liaodong in the coming year, and it is also to prevent Kebi from continuing to develop and grow in the north. Our strategy is not to annihilate the invading enemy, but to deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the Xianbei people, so that they will not dare to come to Youzhou to cause trouble again within a few years. ”

"In order to achieve this operational objective, partial losses were avoided. The northern part of the White Mountain is dominated by grassland pastures and there is no barrier, so the herders there need to be moved to the south and then back after the war is over. As for why a part of the military and civilians were left to stick to Baishan Duwei City, it was for the purpose of luring the Xianbei people, and I will analyze it later. ”

Xiahoulan asked Guo Jia: "If Kebi can not take the western front as the main goal after going south, and instead go east to subdue Liaodong Xianbei, wouldn't this arrangement of our army be meaningless?" ”

Liu He nodded and interjected: "This is the focus of today's meeting of all of you!" The Xianbei people are not stupid, and Kebineng is not stupid, if they find that Youzhou has made all kinds of preparations, they will definitely not follow our plan to attack the western front, but may march all the way east along Rao Leshui and swallow the Xianbei tribes in Liaodong. In light of this, we had to come up with a strategy to attract the Xianbei people to the Western Front! ”

After listening to Liu He's prompt, everyone used their brains one after another, imagining themselves as Ke Bineng, guessing and pondering his thoughts, and then pushing them backwards to their own arrangement.

After some secret deliberations, everyone finally settled on a strategy to lead the west to the north. Specifically, it was to attract Kebineng's attack near Daqingshan, use the garrison of Baishan City to block Kebineng's eastward expansion, and tie the Xianbei people to a range of hundreds of miles northwest of Youzhou, so as not to make them converge with Xianbei in Liaodong to the east.

After setting the general strategy, the rest is the specific deployment of troops, these things are all busy with Zhao Yun and Guo Jia and others, but Liu He no longer asked, he went into the armory workshop in Macheng, saying that he wanted to prepare a meeting gift for Kebineng.
