Chapter 41 This disease is in the heart
Ah Fu pondered for a moment, "His illness is in his heart, but it is a disease of the heart; Heart disease needs a heart medicine doctor, not a prescription, a dose of decoction can be cured, this has to wait until I go back, carefully read to know how to treat. ”
"But......" he thought for a moment, pouring a red pill from the gourd around his waist, "you feed him this pill to eat, it will make him less crazy for a while." ”
It's good to be able to stabilize the condition for a while, Jing Zhao thought about it and agreed.
Jing Zhao said again: "I will hold a banquet in Shangshiji tonight to treat everyone, Mr. Li, Ah Fu, please come to the banquet too." ”
Ah Fu shook his head: "No, I'm going to retreat and read medical books." ”
The old man also shook his head: "Jingzhao Xiaoyou don't have to be polite, the old man has been in the mountain for many years, and rarely goes down the mountain, so he really doesn't like to be lively." ”
When Jing Zhao heard both of them say this, he was no longer reluctant. He thought for a moment: "By the way, if there is a shortage of food on the mountain, just tell me that I will bring it to you from the bottom of the mountain." ”
The old man still shook his head, "There has never been a shortage in my mountain, Jing Zhao can go with confidence." ”
Only then did Gu Jingzhao notice that although the decoration of the small building in this mountain forest was simple, it was sufficient for the sparrows, although they were small. The tea that the old man brought to them was all new tea this year, and this standard of living was even much stronger than that of the mountain.
When the two left, Jing Zhao couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. The mountain is in a famine and troubled times, where does this old gentleman come from, how can he live in the mountains more than the mountain down.
A-Ning said: "There is no shortage of strange people in this world, born with unique skills, in order to avoid the war and find a quiet place to escape the world, this Mr. Li is such a person." ”
Jing Zhao agreed.
"I can know the seven languages and understand the seven Chinese languages, which is what my husband taught; He also told me many stories about the Seven Kingdoms, and I thought that when he was young, he should have traveled around the world and had learned a lot. ”
A Ning's eyes deepened slightly.
He didn't tell Jing Zhao that he knew one of this man's disciples, because he felt too many things from his friend's body that he had in common with this Mr. Li.
A Ning feels that this is because of the teacher's inheritance.
However, his friend said that the last time he saw the teacher was in Hangu Pass, and then the teacher left Hangu Pass and never heard from him again. A-Ning saw this Mr. Li on an unknown mountain in Quanjun today, and perhaps it was really as Mr. Li said: everything is fate.
The two continued down the mountain and talked about something else.
A-Ning said: "What are you going to do with those captives?" ”
Jing Zhao pondered for a moment: "The priest and the patriarch have suffered a loss in our hands this time, and they will definitely reorganize their forces and attack back; But now we are lacking in strength, and there are many people who are suffering from epidemics, and if we meet them at this time, I am afraid that we will not be able to bargain for half of the price. ”
"These captives are my only handle, I don't believe the priests, they don't care about the life or death of these more than 100 captives, when the time comes, we can use them as a condition for negotiation, I just want them to withdraw their troops, so that the villagers of Xiaxi can live in peace."
A Ning said: "The terrain of Xiaxi is easy to defend and easy to attack, if you want to defend, you only need to retreat to Gaojing Mountain, and you can easily hold it with the help of terrain advantages;
If you want to attack, the road is open to the south, and even concealment is rare, and you don't have to worry about the enemy setting up an ambush. ”
"But there's only one danger."
Jing Zhao was puzzled, "What?" ”
"Upper Creek." A Ning said, and the two of them happened to walk to the foot of Gaojing Mountain.
A-Ning pointed his finger, and the place covered by the mist was the Shangxi village on the halfway of Beiyu Mountain. The distance from Shangxi to Xiaxi is less than ten miles, and the roads on the mountain extend in all directions, and if the enemy wants to go from Shangxi to Xiaxi, he can enter the stockade with his eyes closed.
In addition, Xiaxi and Shangxi are connected by a mountain spring called Anxi, and Shangxi is also the upstream of Anxi, and the people of the two villages drink the same Anxi water.
If this water source is blocked, the lower stream will also be trapped and killed because of the lack of water.
It can be said that the upper stream is the throat of the lower stream, and if you want the lower stream to be stable, you must ensure the stability of the upper stream.
Although the patriarch and priest are stationed on the main road outside Xiaxi at the moment, if Jing Zhao blocks the main road, the patriarch wants to garrison troops to attack, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not invade from Shangxi.
If this is the case, the road that extends in all directions, Jing Zhao can't block it even if he wants to.
He thought for a while and said, "You mean to strike first, let's control Shangxi first?" ”
A-Ning stared at him and chuckled, "Do you have that strength?" ”
Jing Zhao now excludes the dead and wounded brothers, and the total number of people he can use does not exceed eighty. There are three or four hundred people in the entire village in Shangxi, and it is not enough for him to kill the other party.
He was dazed for a moment, looked at A-Ning and shook his head, "I don't seem to have enough manpower." ”
"But...... I don't seem to be in a hurry right now. ”
Jing Zhao stroked his chin and said: "First of all, I can take the captives to negotiate with the priests, whether the negotiation is successful or not, they are more than a hundred people in my hands, this is my bargaining chip."
Secondly, as long as I buy time, it will create conditions for Afu Pharmaceutical, and maybe I can repeat the old tricks and go to Shangxi to perform again, I don't have to defeat them, it is enough to be able to control them.
When Shangxi is controlled, we will occupy the two places and people, and then we will fight with the priests, and our chances of winning will be greater. ”
Jing Zhao analyzed.
A-Ning listened and answered.
He was a little surprised in his heart, Gu Jingzhao's analysis this time was more thoughtful than the choices and decisions made in the hurry before.
He gradually began to have the ability to think things through on his own.
After returning to the village, Jing Zhao gave the pill to An Zhiping and told him how to take it.
After An Feng took the medicine, he gradually calmed down and stopped crying, but he couldn't communicate with people normally, and his eyes were always staring at one place blankly.
However, An Zhiping already felt very happy, An Feng cried and made trouble in the past two days, and almost strangled himself with his belt several times, which frightened An Zhiping.
Now that it can be restored like this, at least it can make him and A-Niang worry less.
Jing Zhao was busy cooking dinner for everyone, and after delivering the medicine, he was busy returning to Shangshiji.
The shop was cleaned up, and it was brought by An Nanhuai to clean it, and the blood stains on the ground had been cleaned up, except for a few traces of swords left on the table and beams, no one would know that there had been a very tragic war here.
The gate that was cut down by Aqina was also replaced by Annanhuai.
When Jing Zhao returned to the store, he felt like he was in a different world.
He touched the finger-deep knife mark on the table, and he always remembered himself who held the knife yesterday, and the blade pierced a person's chest as if it had penetrated a piece of tissue paper, and the feeling was no different from when he usually cut his own meat.
