In the north of the Fifty Years, the weather is hot, the rivers are dry, the land is desolate, the roads are full of wild dogs eating human flesh, and the branches are rotting vultures for human bones. Because of the war, there was no home here for more than 100 miles. A large army was marching on this desolate avenue, heading towards Jicheng. Even if this is the case, it is not seen that this army is a little sloppy, but it is strictly organized.

"Your Majesty, you will march for five days, and you will not be able to rest for a moment, and the water in the army has been cut off, and the morale may be damaged. A general clasped in a strong body clenched his fists and said to the commander of the Chinese army.

"King Yan led 100,000 people to fight a decisive battle with Jin, then King Yan has the help of ink, it is not easy to attack the city, the battle in the north is imminent, since the King of Jin only gave me ten days to reach Yandi, then there is no difference in the pool,. The general, who was standing on his horse, sighed. "Lonely, I don't know that the sons and daughters are marching hard, but the military order is ahead. But Yuan let you see, the sons and daughters are still proud, without losing the demeanor of my Wei people, sonorous spirit, just continue to move forward. The commander raised his horsewhip and gave the order.

"But since the king of Jin ordered our army to arrive in ten days, why did he let our army carry the grain and grass of the Jin army? With so much baggage, it can be used by the three armies for more than ten years. The general did not retreat, but questioned further.

"This matter was reached by discussing with General Gao, and there are reinforcements on the front line, so you don't need to say much. The commander glanced at the general and replied.

"The last general will be honored. When the general heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and had to obey the order.

The army traveled more than ten miles.

After all, people are not cast of iron, and in such a hot weather, there is no water to drink, which does make people dizzy and weak. After a while, some of the soldiers fell into a coma due to dehydration, and this phenomenon also showed signs of spreading and intensifying, and the army was forced to halt its march.

"The king of Qiyu, hundreds of children have fainted, please order the king to rest on the spot, kill the horse and take blood. Faced with the pleas of several generals, the commander of the Chinese army sighed.

"Generals, the king of Jin only gave a ten-day deadline, there is still a distance from thistle, if you kill horses and take blood, the burden must be borne by people, and it is difficult for our army to rush to the front line in the remaining days. Behind the commander of the Chinese army, a brocade-robed scribe stood up and bowed to the generals.

"Mr. Gongruo. When everyone saw the comer, they shook back.

"That Jin king clearly has bad intentions, if he asks me Wei Guoerlang to fight on the battlefield, as a pawn, as a shield to send him to death, let me wait to die on the march, how can he look down on my Wei sergeant? A blue-robed general was not convinced by what the scribe said, and replied.

The commander of the Chinese army turned pale when he heard this, and reprimanded vigorously: "Wei Zirang, who taught you these heart-wrenching words? Zhong Chu is my friend of Zhuma and my brother who watched you grow up, how can you be so wolf-hearted, where have you gone after all the teachings of the master? You have also done such unrighteous things?"

Seeing that his brother was really angry, Wei Zirang, who was in the blue robe, didn't dare to speak, so he only clenched his fists and said that he was wrong.

"Mr. Gongruo, how far is our army from the nearest water source. Seeing that no one of the generals said anything about killing horses and resting, King Wei began to solve the problem of lack of water in the army.

"Your Majesty, I will wait until we are in the south of the river at this time, and we can cross the mountains before we can reach the basin of the tributaries of the river, and there is no water source in between. Mr. Gongruo waved at the King of Wei and replied.

"Then how long does it take to get from here to the water?" asked King Wei again.

"It will take two days for the army to march quickly. Mr. Gongruo said calmly.

"Two days? Don't talk about ordinary children, just say that I, Wei Zirang, can't survive. Wei Zirang was shocked. "Didn't the king of Jin want to borrow a knife to kill people? No wonder the Jin army wants to rely on our army. ”

"How many horses are there in our army, and what is the situation of the horses?" King Wei listened to Wei Zirang's words, his brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything, and continued to ask Mr. Gongruo.

"Our army still has two thousand five hundred horses, of which more than three hundred are weakened by the weather. If Xun Gong knew why King Wei asked, he replied.

"Okay, allocate 2,000 cavalry and Wei Zirang, abandon the armor, each cavalry holds 20 water bags, and then slaughter 300 horses to fill the water supply. "The king of Wei gave the order. "Wei Zirang, since you talk so much nonsense, then it's up to you to fetch water for the soldiers. ”

When Wei Zirang heard this, he was at a loss for a while, and then he was overjoyed. "The king's good policy, the last general's order. ”

"Gongruo, you are responsible for distributing the blood of three hundred horses, and go out to find the share of the cavalry soldiers, and everyone will share it equally, and you and I will be the same. King Wei turned to Xun Gongruo and said.

"The minister obeyed. Xun Gongruo made a gesture to King Wei and replied.

"The march must not be delayed, and the sons have rested enough. Inform the three armies that after getting the horse's blood, the army will immediately start moving. "The king of Wei issued military orders to the generals.

"Although the matter of water has been resolved, it is difficult for the three armies to have the patience to march at this time, and besides, there are very few three hundred horses that can be divided among the soldiers, how can they hold on until the return of the water-seeking cavalry?" a general asked worriedly, not worried about the plan of the King of Wei.

"I'm afraid that the soldier's heart will be broken. ”

"Uncle Zi, Mozi has a saying, 'love each other, mutual benefit' lonely deep thinks, the soldiers believe in loneliness, they are with the orphan can benefit, the benefit of the family, the benefit of the country, the reward of military achievements, and the hope of life, at this time the lives of the soldiers are tied to the lonely, it must be the belief in the lonely love lonely. Lonely knows what you say, and you will command Lonely's words, and this difficulty will be solved. King Wei paused. "The front and mountains are famous for producing plums, there are large plum forests, and the army accelerates its march, and in less than a day, it can quench its thirst. ”

"It's... Your Majesty, there is no plum in the mountains, and if there is anyone who understands this, wouldn't it..."

"It doesn't matter, what Gu Fang just said is to give to everyone for the benefit of others, and the soldiers believe in me. King Wei waved his hand and motioned for the generals to complete their tasks.

Wei Zibo was skeptical, as soon as this statement came out, sure enough, the army quickly marched, and the soldiers marched fast, which was jaw-dropping. And when the water-seeking soldiers heard about the water source, they were even more quick to whip up.

Within a day, the army marched into the mountains with the blood of three hundred horses. Although there is no plum in the mountains, it is irrelevant at this time, because the two thousand cavalry have sent the water back from the bank of the Bingshui River, because of the speed of the march, the king of Wei made an exception to let the army rest in the mountains and forests, and the problem of water source and rest was thus solved, and the Wei army only lost only 300 horses that were not strong and should have been abandoned.
