Chapter 235: Desert March (5)
After a long time, Wei Fu in his arms also realized the abruptness of his behavior, broke free from Jia Rong's embrace, and ran into the distance with a red face, and the soldiers on the field all held back their smiles, and their faces turned into pig waist color.
Jia Rong coughed lightly and said, "Everyone find a safe place to rest, and we will hurry when the sky is light." "No matter how thick-skinned you are, your face is still a little hot when you are watched by a group of big men like this.
"The brothers who died tonight to save me, I, Jia Rong, will never dare to forget, their names will be recorded on the hero's grave forever, their families will not worry about food and clothing, and their children will not have to worry about going to school, as long as Xiliangjun will not treat the families of these dead brothers badly for a day." Jia Rong said in a heavy tone.
Speaking of this, many soldiers were moved, and the cheerful atmosphere was a pause, they served as soldiers for fame and fortune, and secondly, for their families, Jia Rong gave unprecedented care to the families of the deceased, especially the heroic mound of the Xiliang Army representing glory.
The Hero's Tomb was once considered the best destination for the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and the Xiliang Army has always treated the soldiers who died on the battlefield very generously, so that the Xiliang Army still has transcendent combat effectiveness and cohesion after the expansion of its scale.
Personality charm will affect the combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, but there will never be a reality of interests, only by making soldiers feel at ease about what is behind them, can they really win their allegiance, why there are deserters on the battlefield, courage is one thing, more or worry about what is behind.
Ma Teng has always remained silent, because he was running away with his family at the time of the incident, and he didn't even go with the soldiers under his command, let alone rescue Jia Rong regardless of life and death, I have to say that the behavior of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army shocked him again, the spirit of unity and sacrifice for the Lord He boasted that he did not have such a great influence.
It had been more than a year since he joined Geng's army, and it was the first time Ma Teng had seen such a team.
The crescent moon hanging in the sky finally came out of the faint dark clouds, sprinkling the moonlight into the desert, the moonlight was still as white as paper, the difference was that there were many fewer figures standing in the desert.
The injury on the leg was not very serious, just a layer of broken skin, after a little treatment, Jia Rong arranged for the soldiers in charge of vigilance, dragged his tired body to the sand dunes not far away, and sat there quietly, recalling the bits and pieces from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present.
Jia Rong found that he gained the most is brotherhood, the equality of officers and soldiers successfully won the heart of the army for Jia Rong, won many brothers in life and death, that is a kind of friendship that is willing to sacrifice for himself, has long been beyond the ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates, Jia Rong inevitably likes this feeling, has seen too many future shijie's intrigue and intrigues, the ancients are so simple, is a comrade-in-arms who is completely worthy of entrusting his back.
The next day, the team set off again, and the cheerful atmosphere was washed away by a quicksand last night.
It was almost noon, the temperature in the desert was unusually high, and under the huge temperature difference, dozens of soldiers fell ill, "cold", a new term unheard of in the Han Dynasty.
I have to say that the doctor's life is really big enough, and the wind and sand and quicksand have not taken away his somewhat rickety body, but people are about to enter old age, and such a long time of running around is already unbearable, and the tenacious persistence until now is also based on the deep desire to live.
Speaking of which, Jia Rong admires this old man.
With the treatment of the doctor, although the treatment time is longer, but there is no danger to get the soldier out of the "cold", Jia Rong has to re-examine this old man, who can treat sword wounds and can also treat colds at his fingertips, how can it be as simple as a little doctor.
"What's your name?" Jia Rong asked, looking directly into the doctor's eyes.
I don't know if it was because walking in the desert for many days made the old man a little dazed or because he was used to this kind of look, the doctor replied unhurriedly: "Caomin Huayu, didn't you tell the general before?" ”
Jia Rong frowned and thought deeply, there was nothing noteworthy about hearing this name before, but after seeing Hua Yu's medical skills, he inevitably had a trace of doubt in his heart.
"How old is my husband this year?" Jia Rong asked.
"Four out of forty." Hua Yu replied truthfully.
"Does my husband know Hua Tuo?" Jia Rong was pleasantly surprised.
Hua Yu looked at Jia Rong suspiciously, and bowed: "I don't know how the general learned the name of the middle brother?" ”
Jia Rong stepped forward and grabbed Hua Yu's hand, and said with a somewhat excited expression: "Hua Tuo is your middle brother, so very good, so very good!" ”
"Haha......" Jia Rong looked up to the sky and let out a burst of cheerful daxiao.
"General, what's the matter?" Hua Yu asked puzzled, he found that there were too many questions with Jia Rong that confused him.
Jia Rong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, let's keep going." "Nothing is more important than getting out of the desert.
Hua Yu bowed and said: "If the general sees his brother, please let him go back to his hometown as soon as possible, his brother has been keen on medical skills all his life, and he is determined to travel all over the world, but he has not returned for many years." ”
Jia Rong nodded in agreement: "At that time, you two brothers will definitely meet each other." ”
Hua Yu bowed down again excitedly.
With the identity of Hua Tuo's elder brother, Jia Rong paid enough attention to Hua Yu in the next march, and even gave him an extra bag of drinking water limited by the army, but everyone had no objection to this, in the harsh desert, Hua Yu's role is still very great.
The drinking water in the army is getting less and less, and the amount of drinking water required by the soldiers in the army is decreasing day by day, and no one in the team has an opinion, including Ma Teng's family, who absolutely obeys Jia Rong's orders.
Pony Chao couldn't stand the thirst anymore, ran to Jia Rong, shook the hem of Jia Rong's clothes, and looked at the water bag on his waist with a look of longing.
Jia Rong smiled slightly, untied the water bag on his waist, and handed it to Ma Chao, Ma Chao took the water bag and left in a jump, but after a while, Ma Chao returned the water bag, Jia Rong shook it, and found that Ma Chao didn't drink much, and smiled at Ma Chao.
For Ma Chao, Jia Rong has an extraordinary love, that look, as if he is treating his own relatives, and Ma Chao also likes to stay by Jia Rong's side, under the influence of Jia Rong, he strictly follows the requirements of the army to stipulate himself, as if he is a soldier of the Xiliang Army, although he didn't know that this time Weishenme would come over to beg for water to drink, Jia Rong also handed the water bag to Ma Chao without hesitation.
Xiliang Jin Ma Chao, no one knows in the Three Kingdoms, he was burdened with the revenge of killing his father when he was young, and Cao Cao, who once beat him, lost his armor and abandoned his armor, but because his personality was too irritable, he never achieved great things, and he entered Shu as a general, and he died depressed, and some important deeds about Ma Chao appeared in Jia Rong's mind one by one.
The cold wind of the night blew Jia Rong's hair, and the hair fluttered gently with the night wind, and after stepping into the desert for nearly a month, everyone had messy hair and disheveled clothes, looking like a group of beggars from a distance. "How far is it?" Jia Rong didn't know how many times he had asked.
Zhang Wu panted and said, "General, we can get out in fifteen days at most." After speaking, a trace of essence flashed in Zhang Wu's eyes, not only the surprise of crossing the desert again, but also Jia Rong's promise to him.
Jia Rong bowed slightly, and said comfortingly: "Thank you for your hard work, after you get out of the desert, you will definitely not forget your benefits." ”
Zhang Wu nodded in surprise, and his sluggish spirit immediately rushed up under the stimulation of this sentence, and his body was instantly filled with fighting spirit, people died for money, birds died for food, and Jia Rong promised enough to spend three lifetimes.
With the stimulation of money, Zhang Wu did his best to do things, the team used to walk for an hour to determine the direction, and now it is two hours to determine three times, and he is still happy, Zhang Wu's feelings for the desert are both love and hate, it is the desert that gives him this huge opportunity to make money, but there is also the danger of taking his life at any time.
The quicksand a few days ago is still fresh in my memory, more than a hundred soldiers disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, not even leaving anything, that kind of strange scene is more terrifying than the bloody battlefield, after the accident, Zhang Wu continued to have nightmares for several nights.
The sky gradually brightened, and Jia Rong, who was looking up at the front, suddenly found that a pillar of sand that went straight to the sky was coming towards the team five miles away from the team, and Jia Rong could even feel that the surrounding sand grains were constantly gathering in that direction, and the momentum was huge, telling the moving sand grains to converge into black shadows, looking from a distance, it was eerie and terrifying.
After the wind and sand converge, it forms a large whirlpool, which looks like it comes from the sky from a distance, and wherever it passes, whether it is sand dunes or sand grains have been added to it, it snowballs rapidly and grows rapidly, and people dare not look directly at it from a distance.
Jia Rong had no doubt that nothing would be left behind when this strange thing passed through the ranks.
Zhang Wu beside him was already in surprise, and he found that the hardships encountered along the way were too much more than the last time he crossed the desert.
"Is this heaven going to punish us?" Zhang Wu muttered softly, this is also the voice of many soldiers, in the superstitious ancient times, don't try to explain any scientific knowledge to them.
After the initial shock, Jia Rong quickly reacted, "It's not a punishment from heaven, it's a tornado, and there's nothing left behind." Jia Rong said in a low voice.
Zhang Wu glanced at Jia Rong suspiciously, and said in a somewhat flustered tone: "General, give the order, Long ...... A tornado is coming. ”
Jia Rong's hands creaked into fists, gritted his teeth and said firmly: "The whole army obeys the order and runs towards that sand dune, and the speed must be fast." "Such a tornado has too much coverage to escape.
No one wants to go toe-to-toe with such a monster, everyone follows Jia Rong closely, they have been together in the desert for so long, everyone is used to obeying Jia Rong's words, even if Jia Rong asks them to rush in the direction of the tornado, they will not hesitate.
