Chapter 32: The Old Immortal
Lu Zhan followed Lu Chen all the way with leather boots, and stuffed two dough cakes in Lu Chen's arms before leaving, Cao Xuan led Lu Chen's Xuanlong Cloud Chasing Beast and his own war horse to follow Lu Chen. Then Lu Chen put on his shoes, rode Xiao Luo and took Cao Xing out of the county seat, heading south.
Cao Xuan asked Lu Chen why he was so urgent, and Lu Chen told him very strictly, that he was going to pick up an old immortal. Cao Xing seems to be an atheist, and asks Lu Chen if the immortals know spells? Lu Chen said that the old immortal can split your head and sew it up again, and you are still alive. Cao Xuan didn't believe in gods, but he believed in Lu Chen, and when he heard this, his expression immediately became sacred.
As early as when he was downstairs at the White Gate, Lu Chen had already planned a plan to go north, and "bought" the big-eared thief Liu Bei through guΓ², and began to prepare. LΓΌ Chen first gave Liu Bei the idea of double stirrups, and then used the horseshoe as bait to persuade Liu Bei to persuade Cao Cao to let Lu Chen's troops go north. In addition, Lu Chen also promised Liu Bei the training methods of Long Xiang, Hu Ben and the trapping army, and asked Liu Bei to send people to help find a few people.
The most important of these people is Hua Tuo. The reason why Hua Tuo was chosen instead of Zhang Zhongjing, another miracle doctor of the Three Kingdoms, was because Hua Tuo was more good at surgery in comparison, and Hua Tuo was the most important subject in the army, and later generations said that Hua Tuo was the originator of surgery.
Lu Chen learned from his residual memories that the medical conditions in this era were too poor, and the most seriously injured soldiers on the battlefield were only waiting to die, and those who survived were also invalids. And the most important resource in this era is the population, with the population can grow food, in order to form soldiers and horses, plus knowing that it is not easy to train the elite soldiers under Lu Bu's account, so Lu Chen also came up with the idea of asking Hua Tuo to form a medical team. In Lu Chen's opinion, an army without a medical team will be crippled and then destroyed sooner or later, veterans are precious! In addition, the medical team can be expanded in the later stage to be used for civilian medical treatment, to ensure the quality of the population, and at least to control the mortality rate of newborn babies to a minimum, only in this way can the population increase. There are not many Han people in the north, and they have been bullied by foreigners for many years, and they are even more sparsely populated, so choosing the north as a base is also quite a helpless way, and the only way Lu Chen can think of is to provide protection for the population and human resources from the medical aspect.
Of course, the above are just high-sounding reasons, and Lu Chen also has his own careful thoughts.
Because I heard that Lu Bu was seriously injured at that time, even if he was cured, his future force value would be greatly reduced, and force was one of Lu Bu's few shining points (although it was not authentic to say that his father was like this, but Lu Chen said that he was an honest person), what else could Lu Bu do if he lost his force?
At that moment, Xiao Lu Chen, who was afraid of being killed in this troubled world, the first thing that came to mind was the divine doctor Hua Tuo.
Therefore, inviting Hua Tuo to come, Lu Chen also held out the hope that he would cure his father completely, the Three Kingdoms is also an era of fighting for his father! With a cow fork father, Lu Chen felt that he didn't have to worry about too many things, and he could be a gentleman. Later facts proved that it might be better for Lu Bu to be abolished, this bastard dad was good but caused trouble, and Lu Chen became a professional butt wipe, and he couldn't bear to say it...... Of course, these are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.
Hua Tuo's hometown, Peiguo County, is not far from Xiapi, so Liu Bei should be the first person to find, and Liu Bei, who is eager to get the method of military training, will immediately send Hua Tuo to change. Hua Tuo was not necessarily willing to listen to Liu Bei's words, but Liu Bei sent a letter written by Lu Chen, and Hua Tuo was very anxious after reading the letter, but urged Liu Bei to send him earlier. Of course, these are what Lu Chen doesn't know now.
At this time, Lu Chen was in a good mood, flickering Cao Xing all the way, so unhappy. Two hours later, he met the Tiger Ben scout, and then found the large army led by Zhang Liao.
"Commander of the Three Armies" Zhang Liao personally came to greet Lu Chen, Lu Chen dismounted, and without saying a word, he asked: "Where is Hua Tuo?" β
"Mr. Yuanhua?" Zhang Liao said, "He was invited by Mr. Gongtai and Mr. Fengxiao to play chess in the car." β
Lu Chen handed over the horse to a soldier, ran towards Chen Gong's carriage, and after running two steps, he was dragged by a person with a cheap smile, who was dressed in civilian clothes, looked thoughtful, and his bearing was quite extraordinary. But what about how handsome you look? I don't know you! Lu Chen was so anxious that he almost kicked over, in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Lao Tzu has a good relationship with the doctor is a life-threatening matter, you dare to pull me?
Zhang Liao hurriedly introduced: "Xiao Junhou, this is Xuzhou Don't Drive Mi Zizhong, and he is the one who sent Mr. Yuanhua over for Liu Yuzhou." β
Lu Chen oh oh twice, his head spun rapidly, thinking who Mi Zizhong is, who is Liu Yuzhou, Mr. Yuanhua, oh, Yuanhua is Hua Tuo. I hate ancient times the most, no wonder some gringos complained that they couldn't watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, because the characters in it have two "names".
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen finally figured out that Liu Yuzhou was Liu Bei, and after the big-eared thief was taken away by Lu Bu in Xuzhou, he was given a false position - Yuzhou Mu, Yuzhou is Cao Cao's territory, so Liu Yuzhou can only be a false position. Knowing Liu Bei, Lu Chen knew who Mi Zizhong was, Mi Zhu, the god of wealth in Xuzhou, that is, Liu Bei's brother-in-law.
It turned out that Liu Bei asked Mi Zhu to send Hua Tuo.
This Mi Zhu and his brother Mi Fang are very rich in Xuzhou, they were reused by Tao Qian back then, and later supported Liu Bei, but they were very positive in making trouble for Lu Bu. Lu Bu robbed Xuzhou, arrested Liu Bei's family, and before he could return it to Liu Bei, Mi Zhu rushed to marry his sister to Liu Bei first. At the same time, Liu Bei's ordnance and war horses are almost all supported by the wealth of the Mi family, and Liu Bei also attaches great importance to Mi Zhu.
"What is Mr. Zizhong pulling me for?" Lu Chen asked.
Mi Zhu squeezed out a smile and said, "Liu Yuzhou asked Zhu to send Mr. Yuanhua here, saying that Xiaojun Hou has a way to train soldiers for me to bring back." β
patted his head, Lu Chenxin said that businessmen are not subtle, this is too direct, right? The big-eared thief pretended to be a yellow flower girl for a long time before agreeing to cooperate.
Lu Chen said to Zhang Liao: "Uncle Wenyuan, you go and give Mr. Zizhong the method of training the Long Xiang Army that I asked you to write." β
Zhang Liao's face was slightly dark, and Mi Zhu turned around and left, and Mi Zhu followed behind and almost jumped up.
No wonder Liu Bei and Mi Zhu are greedy, cavalry is the strongest type of field warfare in this era, and it is also the most difficult to train, Liu Bei's people are all halfway monks, not professional at all, there is a Chen Dao, and he can only train infantry. And Lu Bu is different, Lu Bu was in charge of the Tiger Feather Lin Wei when he was in the state, this is the Han Janissary Guard, which was created by Wei Qing back then, and the crusade against the Huns was invincible, and now he still inherits the most secret and rigorous training method. Later, Lu Bu surrendered to Dong Zhuo, and selected the elite and the tiger elite from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to form the Longxiang Iron Cavalry, and there was a unique training method for heavy armored cavalry. These are all things that Liu Bei drools over, looking for someone in exchange for such a treasure, Liu Bei has been waking up with a smile every morning these days, because he had a sweet dream.
There are many reasons why Liu Bei Longxiang was given the training method first, on the one hand, the heavy armored cavalry is the most difficult to train, and the equipment is the most expensive, so it is good to consume Liu Bei. On the other hand, the reason was much more embarrassing, Gao Shun refused to obey and was unwilling to give Liu Bei the training method of trapping the camp. As for the Tiger Ben Army, Cao Xuan is only the temporary commander, only Lu Bu himself knows all the training methods, Cao Xuan knows most of it, but ...... He couldn't write, and his ability to express himself was too limited to be clear.
