And in May of the second year, King Jiaming and the great Sima Wen Shuli, and located in the princes of Gongyue, with the history of Huiji as the capital governor of Yanzhou, Yangzhou Jinling Zhu military, Xuzhou Thorn History, Zhenjingkou.

---------- excerpt from the introduction

Qi Zhiwu looked at the less and less black smoke in front of him, and couldn't help but scold angrily in his heart, this Beifu actually built a beacon tower in Yishui. As soon as he passed through the Shaye River with more than 20,000 Northern Kangju cavalry, he saw the black smoke in the distance, and he felt that something was wrong, and he ran over to take a look and knew that this was a beacon tower surrounded by stones, which was full of hay, dry cow dung and dry wolf dung, and these things had already been ignited by a torch thrown into it by the rangers of Beifu. Black smoke rises into the air and will not dissipate for several days.

It seems that Beifu is a professional thief, and since he is good at robbing others, he is naturally good at preventing others from robbing himself. As the junction line, both sides of the Xiaye River are covered with Beifu rangers and spies, and tens of thousands of cavalry from the Beikangju tribes gather one after another, as long as they are not blind, they will be visible. And the most infuriating thing is that the team of people and horses was actually delayed for four days after gathering in the Broken Leaf River, because the leaders of the various ministries have not yet divided their ranks, and they have not discussed their respective positions.

After four days of quarrels, it should be said that the quarrel that had been going on since the beginning of the gathering finally ended on the fourth day after the gathering, and under the coordination of the Wusun nobles and the envoys of Nankangju, these chiefs finally determined their respective positions and titles, and also elected a great chief, and then under the leadership of this great chief, they came to the east in a mighty way.

Pray for the house to hate the root of the teeth, these dirt buns. Don't you know that soldiers are fast? I heard the elders say that the Hun warriors gathered while hurrying, and finally suddenly appeared in front of the enemy like a tide. Looking at these soil buns acting like this, it is no wonder that their ancestors were able to drive these Sai people and Yue people all over the ground when they came west. But now the Huns are already a vulnerable group here, the Huns have been moving west along the north of Daze (Aral Sea) for hundreds of years, and the remnants of the Huns have long been assimilated by the Yueshi and the Sai people, and the most hateful thing is that those leaders and leaders have also been co-opted and corrupted by those stupid Kangju people (many Huns do not consider themselves Kangju people, and still stubbornly think that they are glorious Hun warriors). Become as incompetent and greedy as they are. The bravery of the Huns has long been lost.

Four days. During the four days of waiting for the coalition forces to "improve their leadership system", Qizhiwu pursued the Beifu Horse Scout several times as a patrol. But all this is irrelevant, and no matter how important the military situation is, it is not as important as fighting for a position. As a glorious Hun warrior, Qizhiwu felt that fighting with these people was simply an insult. But no matter how insulted it is, it must be earned, because it is better to be insulted than to starve to death.

Next to him, Shuowei Tiping was very aware of the depression and anger of the Qizhiwu, but unlike this "warlike" Hun warrior, Shuowei Tiping thought more. In fact, the old Shuo Weiti is clear in his heart. This attack on Yishui is likely to be difficult. Since the end of last year, the proposal began, and then the Wusun nobles strongly supported the lobbying, threading the needle in the north and south of the medicine killing water, and then the behind-the-scenes forces such as Beikangju and Nankangju bargained, and it has not been done until now, tossing back and forth in the middle, and slightly sensitive people know that not to mention the merchants of Beifu are all over the Hezhong region. There are more than 20,000 cavalry here. Or hundreds of aristocratic lords among them. Maybe there are spies in the North Mansion.

After such a long time, how could Beifu not be prepared? No, look at the North Kangju coalition army coming. The scouts of the Beifu Army quickly lit the beacon tower, and then ran away without a trace as soon as the smoke slipped, and they were well-trained. Not only that, but everywhere the coalition forces went, the grasslands became more empty than ever, and it is estimated that even the rabbits ran away with their luggage. So far, apart from picking up some scrap garbage, the coalition forces have not caught anything, and a lot of cattle and sheep food has been pasted in.

Just when the two of them were worried and had their own concerns, Wen Jisu ran over, he was the small leader of this team.

"What do you say?" Qi Zhiwu asked.

", what else can I say." "The Great Commander said that the whole army was advancing towards Atami (present-day Issyk-Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan)." ”

"Atami? Why don't you move forward to the Yishui Basin. Shuo Wei Tiping asked.

"Why, I think the Beifu Army already knows our whereabouts, and these leaders don't dare to hit the horns." Qi Zhiwu said with a sigh.

"But is Atami that easy to get to?" Shuo Wei Tiping said gloomily.

"Who knows? But it's better than the Yishui River, right? We didn't shout to attack the Yishui River from the beginning. I hope that the Beifu army will be confused by us. Wen Jishu said hesitantly.

"Confused by us?" Qizhiwu was a little speechless.

"Anyway, let's be careful, don't lose your life here without grabbing something." The old Shuo Wei Tiping finally said.

"That's all there is to it." The Warmer and the Prayer House sighed faintly, then beckoned to their companions to leave the beacon tower, which was about to be extinguished, and headed southeast.

The sudden turn of the Beikangju coalition army made the Beifu army nervous and suspicious for a while. The mountain city (under the Trans-Ili Alatau Mountains south of present-day Almaty, Kazakhstan), was the temporary headquarters of the Beifu Army. After receiving the latest military information of the Northern Kangju Coalition Army, the "commander-in-chief", Jiang Nan, the governor of Yining Garrison, was looking intently at the sand table on the table, surrounded by Cao Yan, the governor of Xizhou, the deputy generals Hu Lawyers' Association, Dou Lin, Wu Luolanto, Zhong Cunlian, Fu Nandang, and the generals Tang Wu, Chen Guan and others.

"What does this Kangju coalition want to do? Turning south, do they want to cross the Tianshan Mountains and go straight to Qiuci County, Shazhou? Chen Guan was the first to speak.

"You really think highly of them." Cao Yan smiled and said, he took over from Le Changshan, who had been transferred to the governor of Qinzhou the year before last, and had been serving in Xizhou for several years before, so he was very familiar with the situation here.

Cao Yan pointed to the sand table and said: "The main general is incompetent, affecting the three armies. I was already amazed that Beikang Ju was able to organize this coalition army, they were originally scattered. They belong to different tribes, and they usually have more resentment than kinship, but today they can get together because of the temptation of the people of Nankangju and Sogdia. No, before the battle is fought, the dividends are calculated first. ”

"They must have sensed that we had set up an ambush in Yishuinan. We made the move too big and self-defeating. Jiang Nan continued, "These coalition forces are all greedy people, but most of them are old foxes on the grassland. There is no strategy though. But there is still a sense of smell. I can smell the danger ahead. ”

Hear here. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. After receiving the news of the invasion of the Beikangju coalition army in the east, the garrison army and the garrison soldiers in Xizhou were mobilized, and there were more than 30,000 people. And Jiang Nan and the others decided to adopt the strategy of luring the enemy deeper, and then laid a huge trap in Yishui Nanbu. With Jiang Nan and the others, it is estimated that there are not many places where more than 20,000 coalition troops can return home alive. It's just that the preparations for this fortified field were too thorough, and the leaders of the coalition forces felt that something was wrong

"What Jiang Dudu said is that the Northern Kangju coalition army feels that Yishui is in danger. But he was unwilling to return to the Broken Leaf River without catching anything, so he went south, went to Atami to have a look, and then went back. We don't have to worry about the Northern Kangju Army being able to cross the Tianshan Mountains, we have already informed the military situation to the Shule Governor's Mansion and Shazhou, and they have also blocked the Tianshan Mountain Pass such as Chigu City, if the Northern Kangju Coalition Army wants to go south, unless it flies over. ”

The governor of Shule garrison was the first to be zero. The governor of Shazhou was Xiahou Khotan, who only succeeded Wei Xingguo last year. With the ability of both of them. Naturally, it can rely on the Tianshan Mountains and the Green Mountains to keep Shazhou tight.

"So what do we do next?" Zhong Cunlian asked out loud.

"Shu Yi, come on!" Jiang Nan turned to Cao Yan and said. According to the military system of the Northern Prefecture, the garrison governor was half a level higher than the commander. In the event of a war, the garrison governor automatically acts as the "theater commander", dispatching the troops and government troops in the jurisdiction, and the governor of the state automatically becomes the deputy of the other place until the official order is issued by the Privy Council.

"Yes, Lord Governor. Since they didn't want to come to Yishui to meet us, we went to meet with them. Cao Yan pointed to the sand table and began to say, "We can divide the army into three parts, and 10,000 soldiers and horses will continue to stay in Yishui, in case they suddenly rise up bravely and kill a horse gun." ”

Hearing this, everyone smiled, and then continued to listen to Cao Yan.

"10,000 soldiers from the three counties of Yishui, Atami, and Genchi used the soldiers of Atami as guides to attack and block the Northern Kangju coalition army. The Northern Kangju coalition army was originally a plate of scattered sand, and when they saw our army coming up from all sides, they would definitely retreat in the face of difficulties and retreat to the west of the Shaye River. And the 10,000 garrison troops went straight to the south of Shaba Chuan, waiting for them on the retreat of the coalition army. We have spent so much painstaking effort to annihilate this Kangju coalition army! ”

After listening to Cao Yan's words, everyone talked about it for a while, and then they all spoke out in favor of this new plan, only Tang Mo hesitated.

"If that's the case, the people of Atami County will have to suffer a little."

"Ziming is too worried. As things stand, it is impossible to defeat the coalition unscathed. First, we won't have time to clear the walls in Atami County, and second, if we do it as clean as Yishui, it is estimated that the coalition forces will run away again. Let's report it to Atami County normally, some preparations have been made there, and the damage should not be very large. Cao Yan frowned, calculated, and finally said.

After listening to Cao Yandi's words, Tang Wu didn't have anything to say, so he agreed with everyone about the plan.

Turning south, the coalition forces found that they had finally been able to grab something. They broke through to the northeastern area of Atami for three days, and more than 4,000 herdsmen in Atami County, who had no time to escape, were caught by the coalition forces, nearly 1,000 young men and men died under the scimitars in fierce resistance, and the rest of the old and young women and children became prisoners of the coalition forces.

Like locusts, the coalition dismantled everything in front of them and turned it into trophies. Everywhere I passed, there was really nothing left but grass.

"Shuo Weiping, what are you thinking?" Qizhiya saw Shuo Weitian sitting on his war horse worriedly, thinking about it there with his head down.

"Qizhiwu, I found this today." Shuo Weiping saw that there were friends on the left and right, so he quietly took out something. Seeing that Shuo Weiping was so mysterious, the prayer branch house and the Wen Ji beard hurriedly surrounded him.

I saw Shuo Weiping take out a small paper bag in his hand, which was full of words, and I didn't know what the words were. However, no matter what the text was, these illiterate people didn't know it, but a gourd figure on it let them all know what it was.

"The elixir of Beifu?" The warmer almost screamed.

This is a pack of small chaihu pills produced by the Beifu Chang'an Pharmaceutical Factory, which specializes in treating typhoid fever and other diseases caused by seasonal changes, and it is really an immortal medicine in this era. There is no doubt that this is also the creation of Zeng Hua, because when his family was sick, he found that there were more traditional Chinese medicine in this era or soup and water, so he put forward the concept of Chinese patent medicine. It's a good guy who has also watched "Mansion Gate", although he doesn't know how to make this Chinese patent medicine, but he has eaten wax pills and honey pills before, and he knows what it is, and he also knows on the Internet that there seems to be equipment such as centrifuges that play an important role (the protagonist remembers wrongly, it is the equipment used for antibiotic separation).

Under the guidance of Zeng Hua's "foresight", the doctors of Huatuo Medical University worked hard, but they finally had a direction to work on. After several years of "study", Huatuo Medical University finally turned some of the decoction prescriptions in Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" and "Jin Kui Yaolu" into easy-to-carry pills. Moreover, Zeng Hua also contributed "important prescriptions" such as Rendan, Xiangzheng Qi Water, Cool Oil, Tianqi Hemostatic Powder, etc., which he occasionally saw on the box when he used it before. As for whether it is correct, whether it can cure the disease or take people's lives is not Zeng Hua's business, it must be handed over to professionals.

After Huatuo Medical University developed civilian pills and military powder, Zeng Hua immediately pulled a group of people to invest in Huatuo Medical University and established Chang'an Pharmaceutical Factory, which was packaged in paper or wooden boxes, and the logos and words on it were designed by Zeng Hua himself. It's just that you definitely won't write the recipe kindly, only how to use it. There is also the gourd mark designed by Zeng Hua, which has become the unique logo of Chang'an Pharmaceutical Factory and the representative of immortal medicine.

Civilian medicines such as Xiaochai Hu Pill soon became a weapon for Beifu to exchange for "foreign exchange" and "hard currency", and some of them were sold to Kangju and other places by Beifu merchants, but the price was more expensive than gold, of course, there are really not many life-saving medicines in this era.

Everyone knows that Shuo Weitieping's only son has been suffering from typhoid fever for more than half a year, and he has been struggling to survive. I heard Uncle Mo De Aihe say that there is an immortal medicine in Beifu, which can cure typhoid fever immediately after eating, and there is a gourd mark on it. It's just that this is something more expensive than gold, how can I buy it if I don't stick to it, so it's always just a fantasy, and I can't imagine seeing it here.

"Where's the medicine here?" Qi Zhiwu asked quietly.

"I heard that there is still one grain left, but it was taken away by a leader, and this paper bag was accidentally lost by this leader, and I picked it up." Shuo Weitian replied gloomily, such a precious thing will naturally be taken away by the leader, which is something that hundreds of cattle and sheep can't get back.

"Shuo is not flat, don't be nervous, I think since I found it once, I can naturally find it a second time, our brothers looked for it carefully, and if we found it, we will quietly hand it to you." Qi Zhiwu thought about it and comforted him in a low voice, he didn't know that there were many kinds of immortal medicines in Chang'an, each with its own use. But in their eyes, the elixir marked with a gourd is the best hope.

Several people immediately echoed in a low voice, and Shuo Weiping arched his hand gratefully, and didn't say anything more, just sighed, and looked into the distance with deep eyes, revealing endless hope.
