Chapter 113 The Multifaceted Jia Xu

With enough clothes and quilts, the soldiers in the barracks no longer fear the cold of Chang'an winter.

These soldiers are just ordinary people. They carry the cold wind day and night, and they are also very prone to colds and fevers. For this, Hua Tuo volunteered his carefully developed antipyretic prescription.

Hua Tuo's current status is Taichang Ling, coupled with his superb medical skills, he performed operations on about [-] seriously injured soldiers in just one day, so the doctor in the army saw the prescription he provided, although his The prescription is slightly different from the common antipyretic prescriptions on the market, but they are still willing to give it a try.

Hua Tuo is indeed a genius doctor. After drinking the medicine made by his prescription, these soldiers with cold and fever have eased up a lot in just one day.

Huangfusong looked at the soldiers who were recovering continuously, and he felt admiration in his heart. He sighed that in these years, he led the soldiers to fight in the north and south. On the road and in the army, the number of soldiers who died due to various diseases was overwhelming. So because of this, when he goes out to fight, he will bring a lot of military doctors with him. The existence of these military doctors is the cornerstone of ensuring the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

Zhang Ming is also very clear about the reason for Huangfusong's sigh. Under the Han Dynasty system, the status of doctors was very low, so people didn't want to study medicine or become doctors. Even if they became doctors, their biggest clients were They are princes and nobles, but ordinary people can only wait to die when they get sick. This is why when Zhang Jiao founded the Taiping Dao, he thought that the common people in the world were treated as an excuse to recruit disciples.

Even in the army led by Huang Fusong, there are only 3 military doctors accompanying [-] soldiers in the army, and an average of [-] soldiers can be assigned to one doctor. Even this ratio is much higher than ordinary people. Among ordinary people, If five hundred people can have one doctor, it is considered very good.

The two days passed quickly, and Zhang Meng, the captain guarding the north city gate, finally noticed something was wrong. He found that the enemy camp stationed outside the city seemed to have not moved for a long time.

After Li Jue attacked the North City Gate two days ago, he moved the original barracks one mile to the rear, so now the enemy camp is three miles away from Chang'an City, and this distance can no longer be seen clearly with the naked eye.

Naturally, Zhang Meng didn't know that after Li Jue moved the barracks, he quickly withdrew all the troops and took away all the supplies, leaving only some barracks as a cover.

Huangfusong's order to Zhang Meng was very simple, summed up in four words, and he couldn't stick to it. After all, as a newcomer, Zhang Meng was definitely not Li Jue's opponent for playing tricks and tricks. Especially as a young man, Zhang Meng was very easy to get ahead. It is easy to fall into the opponent's scheme.Therefore, the main function of a school lieutenant sent by Huangfusong was to prevent Zhang Meng from taking over.

This lieutenant's surname is Wang, his first name is Ling, and his style name is Yanyun. He is Wang Yun's nephew. Like Zhang Meng, he relies on the influence of his elders to serve as a lieutenant under Huangfusong.

It's just that Zhang Meng stood on the city wall and looked at the enemy camp. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He quickly pulled over Wang Ling, the captain sent by Huangfusong.

"Yan Yun, look at the enemy camp in the distance, has there been no movement for two days?"

Wang Ling's eyes widened, and he looked at the enemy camp from a distance. His eyesight was good, and he could see some outlines even at a distance of three miles, at least more than what Zhang Meng could see.

"Shuwei, it seems that there is no change from two days ago."

"Yanyun, tell me, Li Jue has already left, right?"

"It's unlikely. If Li Jue wants to withdraw, he can withdraw openly. Why bother? After he withdraws, is he still afraid of us sending troops to attack?"

"But look, the enemy camp does not seem to be active. I'll ask the soldiers guarding the city."

Zhang Meng directly called two soldiers who had been guarding the city gate on the city wall.

"Can you two see the enemy camp in the distance?"

"can see."

"can see."

"Tell me, is there any change in the enemy camp compared to when it was moved there two days ago?"

The two soldiers leaned on the city wall again, trying to look forward. Fortunately, ordinary people in this era don't read, so their eyesight is quite good. At least it is not a big problem to see the military camp three miles away.

After watching for a while, both of them came to Zhang Meng again and answered in unison.
"Lieutenant, the barracks has not changed from when it was stationed two days ago."

"Okay, you guys go back first"

"Yes, Captain."

After the two soldiers left, Zhang Meng said to Wang Ling
"I'm right. The enemy camp hasn't changed for two days. They must have withdrawn secretly. The army accounts left here are just fooling me. I want to send a ten-man army to investigate. "

"Shuwei, should I report to the general first, I always feel like there is an ambush."

"No, I'll only send a ten-man army. If the enemy really has a conspiracy, the loss will only be ten men."

"Okay, then you send it"

Zhang Meng quickly arranged a ten-man troop led by one of his commanders, each with a horse, and the round trip to the enemy camp was estimated to take about two quarters of an hour.

When the ten-man army arrived at the barracks, they found that the barracks was already empty, there was no one in it, and all the weapons and equipment, food and grass were gone. It can be said that there was nothing but some military accounts.

They rode around the barracks and returned to the west gate after confirming that there was really no one inside.

"Lieutenant, the enemy camp is empty, everything is taken away, only some military accounts are left."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Zhang Meng came to Wang Ling again and told Wang Ling what the soldiers had said.

"Yan Yun, you already know what these soldiers said. I said that Li Jue has already withdrawn. You still don't believe me?"

"Why don't we send troops to bring all these military accounts back to the city? According to the soldiers, these military accounts are enough for at least [-] soldiers to set up camp."

"Wuwei, no, wait for me to report this matter to General Huangfu before making any plans."

"Hey, why are you so timid?"

"General Huangfu's order is to let us strictly guard the west city gate, instead of sending troops out. If you send people out to check, I will naturally not stop you, but now you want to send troops out to recover these military accounts. Wouldn't the trap set up cost thousands of soldiers?"

"Okay, then I won't send troops for the time being, you should hurry up and tell General Huangfu the news."

At this moment, the East City Gate and the North City Gate are suffering from the sixth round of Allied attacks. After two days of rest, and with the appeasement of the generals at all levels, the morale of the Allied Forces has finally returned to the previous level.

It's just that the current Chang'an City will only be more difficult to attack than before, especially the east gate, the defenders are fighting more bravely, and their mental state is much better than before.

Obviously, the sixth round of offense did not achieve the effect Niu Fu expected, his temper became worse and worse, and now he started beating and scolding Chi'er again.

"It's been more than three days, a bunch of trash, a bunch of trash, how come they can't even conquer Chang'an City."

"Guo Xiang, why did you raise this group of wastes? It's fine if you die, but all you leave me are wastes."

"Leader, don't be so angry, there are so many soldiers here that still need the command of the leader."

"What are you talking about, are you cursing me to death? Look at you, you are a barbarian. If I hadn't doted on you, you would have been killed by my subordinates long ago. Now you dare to curse me."

While talking, Niu Fu held Chi'er with his feet.

The reason why Niu Fu was so angry, of course, had nothing to do with Chi'er.

Niu Fu asked the envoys to call all the generals to hold the alliance meeting these two days, but his order was conveyed to Fan Chou, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji, but the result was the same, they all only sent envoys , and I stayed in the army.

It's all right for Li Jue to do this, Niu Fu can bear it, after all, among all the allies, Li Jue is the most powerful, but the other allies, who are not as powerful as him, dare to treat him like this, how can we not let Niu Fu was angry.

Niu Fu was originally a man without the ability to be a commander. He couldn't even manage his subordinates well. If it wasn't for Jia Xu, the supervisor, his subordinates would have been dissatisfied with Niu Fu's rule. Fudu will only ask Jia Xu.

Niu Fu could also see that Jia Xu was a little dissatisfied with him, but he didn't dare to scold Jia Xu, because he knew he couldn't manage the army well and needed to rely on Jia Xu, so that Niu Fu spent most of his time with him. Chi'er mixed together.

These Hu people are very obedient, they will beat and scold at will, and will not oppose Niu Fu, so Niu Fu has always loved Chi'er.

For Chi'er, today's beating and scolding came out of nowhere. He clearly said some good things, but he was beaten for no reason, and the anger in his heart was suppressed all the time.He really wanted to kill Niu Fu with a single blow, but he also knew that Niu Fu was the leader of the alliance, a general, and he had close servants by his side. Once he did it, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he would not be able to escape from Niu Fu's barracks.

Niu Fu beat and scolded Chi'er, but felt bored again. After all, these barbarians were raised by him, and they could beat and scold them at any time, but he didn't dare to do that to those generals, and even his lieutenants.

At this time, Jia Xu was counting the casualties of the soldiers in the former army, and he didn't bother to care about Niu Fu's affairs. After Dong Zhuo's death, Jia Xu discovered that Niu Fu's temper was getting stronger and stronger, and he became more and more irritable.

At the beginning, Jia Xu would try to persuade him, but later he realized that only the cruel Dong Zhuo could suppress the irritable Niu Fu, so he also gave up the idea of ​​supporting Niu Fu, and turned to find another way out for himself .

I just don't know where Li Jue's army is now.

At noon, Jia Xu finally counted the casualties of the three armies. Although Guo Si and Zhang Ji did not come to the alliance in person, they would still send envoys to report the information from the general, and the information was collected in Jia Xu's hands. .

In the sixth round of the attack, the Allied forces suffered heavy casualties. It can be said to be the heaviest round. In the previous rounds, the casualty rate was only three to four out of ten, but in this round, the death toll was as high as seven out of ten. Of course Among the three armies, only Guo Sijun's situation is a little better, but the death toll is also higher than before.

With such a high death rate, the soldiers of the Allied Army have begun to fear, and this fear is spreading in the army little by little. Perhaps only one fuse is needed, and the soldiers of the three armies will collapse immediately.

Jia Xu returned to the barracks with news from the three armies, and he saw Niu Fu was with these barbarians again.

"Leader, our army has suffered heavy casualties, and the situation of Guo Sijun and Zhang Jijun is not optimistic. If this happens, we will definitely lose."

"Supervisor, I heard that when you were commanding at the front line, you were a little unsatisfactory. Is it possible that you don't want to serve the leader?"

When Jia Xu heard Niu Fu's words, he looked at Niu Fu suspiciously, thinking in his heart that Niu Fu had already known about his conversation with Li Jue.

"Leader, my subordinates don't understand what you mean. Since I followed the leader two years ago, I have been doing my best to serve the leader."

What Niu Fu said next dispelled Jia Xu's doubts.

"Supervisor, I asked you to lead the soldiers to attack for an hour and a half this time. Why did you only attack for an hour?"

When Jia Xu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was Li Jue who had been discovered, but it turned out to be just this matter.

When Jia Xu was appointed as the supervisor of the army, Niu Fu handed over part of the right to command the army to Jia Xu, so Jia Xu was free to command part of Niu Fu's army.

Of course, Jia Xu's combat ability is not weak, he is not a weak scholar, in fact, there are very few special counselors in this period.Most of the counselors considered by later generations are actually capable of commanding combat, and Jia Xu is one of them.

"Leader, my subordinates believe that our army suffered too many casualties in the attack on Chang'an City, so in order to reduce the casualties, we had to call the drums and stop the troops in advance."

"Supervisor, are you the leader or am I the leader?"

"The subordinate didn't mean that."

"Supervisor, I hope you understand that the soldiers you command are all my soldiers, and the orders I speak of are the orders."

"My subordinate understands."

"Let's go, go to Li Jue's office and ask him how he is doing?"

"Yes, Confederate."

After Jia Xu left, Niu Fu continued to fight with these barbarians.

It's just that Jia Xu, who walked out of Niu Fu's army, didn't go to Li Jue's army, he rode directly to Guo Si's army.

The arrival of Jia Xu surprised Guo Bang, the previous emissary was not Jia Xu, so he dared not neglect this time.

"Brother Wenhe, I don't know what the leader's order is?"

"General Guo, I'm not here to tell you Niu Fu's order."

"Then what is it?"

"General Guo, I just came back from Li Jue's barracks, did you know that Li Jue ran away."

"What, say it again."

Jia Xu said it loudly again.

"Li Jue ran away. Li Jue asked to go to the west gate of Chang'an City. His purpose was not to attack Chang'an City at all, but to withdraw without being discovered. I think he wanted us to fight to the death with the defenders of Chang'an City. , and he can take advantage of the trend to plunder the Sanfu area, so that he can return to Liangzhou smoothly."

"He wants to go back to Liangzhou, why didn't he tell me, instead he told you, I have made an appointment with him before, if the siege of the city doesn't go well, he will go back to Liangzhou."

Guo Si was a bit of a deadhead, and he didn't know that he was deceived by Li Jue.

"How could Li Jue tell me that I only found out when I went to Li Jue's army to pass on the order of the leader after receiving the order from the leader. It turned out that Li Jue had withdrawn two days ago."

"I, leader, you have been deceived by Li Jue."
