[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

But even so, Cao Ying's soldiers are the most disciplined.

When Yuan Shao's soldiers were sweeping the houses, Cao Jun and Sun Jian's deployments were refilling the emperor's tomb. After that, Yuan Shao, as the actual owner of Jizhou, looked at the rations of his friends, felt a little sympathetic to him, and thought about his own It was a bit troublesome to take the military rations back...so I gave him a few loads.

Cao Cao expressed his gratitude and said, heck, can the car be given to Cao as well?

"Why is Meng De here..." Yuan Shao sighed, the two were sitting together in Yuan Shao's tent at this time, drinking the tea brought by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had to eat shortbread one by one, his expression also sighed, They almost didn't say a word, this is to serve the people!

Yuan Shao thought for a while, and suggested that Cao Cao should follow him?Now Jizhou is short of people. If Cao Cao comes, he can be made a prefect. Now that Luoyang City is in ruins, Cao Cao's stationing in Chenggao has no strategic significance. Cao Cao was obviously caught off guard by this sudden invitation. He thought for a while , or refused.

The reason is also very simple, he just bought land in Chenggao.

Yuan Shao was shocked by this reason, he didn't know what to say for a moment, he could only bow his hands and signaled that he was speechless.

Then he watched Cao Cao walk away with the shortbread.

He didn't realize until the person left, no, even if he bought the land, he didn't have to live there all the time, and why did he take away his shortbread together!

The shortbread that was taken away was quickly distributed to the two brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun, and one piece was given to Sun Jian who just came over.

Sun Jian gnawed on the shortbread with a subtle expression.

Seeing this, Cao Cao had to look at him with some questions. After this coalition, the two had a very good impression of each other. Sun Jian admired Cao Cao's courage to fight against only 1 people. Cao Cao appreciated Sun Jian's rare loyalty to the Han Dynasty After meeting, the two quickly exchanged letters because they jointly repaired the royal tomb.

It's just that Sun Jian's attitude is very subtle now. He chewed the shortbread, his expression was a bit empty, and his whole body was filled with a subtle stupidity. Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Cao Cao didn't ask any more, just sighed in his heart. No matter how good the appearance is, it doesn't look good when it's stupid.

Speaking of looks,

There is a widely circulated story about this former Changsha prefect. Sun Jian was born poor, but he was born with supernatural power.Then when he heard that he admired Ai when he was young, Mrs. Sun was both talented and beautiful, so he went to ask to marry him. Mrs. Sun's family didn't think highly of him, but Mrs. Sun decided to marry him.

In fact, it was because Mrs. Sun... Well, seeing Sun Jian who was still young at the time, he thought he was good-looking.

This was spread as a gossip. When Sun Jian entered Luoyang for the first time, Cao Cao met him several times. The two of them were nodding friends. He also liked this man's appearance very much. He was mighty and handsome. , Unrestrained and unrestrained, after hearing this rumor, he privately expressed that it is indeed very possible.

It's a pity that this gossip obviously cannot be asked.

Anyway, the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious, Sun Jian has no concubine except Mrs. Sun, and his children are all born to Mrs. Sun. This can already be used as evidence of the harmonious relationship between husband and wife in this era.

Speaking of this, my wives and concubines are all in their hometown, and my children are also there. I haven't seen each other for almost a year, and I don't know what's going on. The eldest son is always sensible, and the second son may not remember him as a father. .

Cao Cao was also a little melancholy for a while.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't lie to Yuan Shao, he really bought the land.

He bought nearly [-] mu of land outside the city from the county magistrate Pang of Chenggao City with the money Cao Chun got from robbing the rich and helping the poor. He also planted corn during spring plowing.

This is a suggestion from Xun Yu.

In order to ensure the supply of military rations, he acted as a farmer during the interval of military training. This is exactly what he also proposed in history, the military system.

It is this kind of military system that makes Cao Jun seldom troubled by food and grass.

But only very few, not none.

One hundred acres of land can harvest almost 300 shi of grain during the autumn harvest. According to the modern weight, it is almost 1.8 tons of grain, and according to the way each person eats one catty a day, a 1-man army can only support two to three sky.

But generally speaking, during the actual march, cooks will look for edible wild vegetables along the way, and mix them with corn to make meals. In this way, the annual output of 100 mu of land can last for about five or six days.

It’s not that Cao Cao didn’t want to buy more, but the surrounding arable land is so large, except for a few cities with frequent wars that live in places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, most of the ancients usually settled in the most fertile and water-sourced places. Build a city here.

This is the case in Chenggao. The most fertile soil is in the city, between the city gates. Cao Cao has a place to be stationed now, but there is a place where the army is stationed for military exercises, and it can only be developed externally.

In just half a month of battle, Cao Ying's food and grass were almost exhausted.

Fortunately, when Dong Zhuo retreated, he inevitably left behind his baggage, and because he left in a hurry and didn't have time to burn the food, the rich Yuan Shao didn't like it, and as the leader of the alliance, he naturally had to put on some gestures, saying that the baggage would be shared with you. Sun Jian said that his garrison was also far away, and it was not convenient to take it back, so he gave it all to Cao Cao.

In addition, there are also armor and weapons on Dong Zhuo's soldiers. Everyone agrees that they are equally divided, but some of the weapons and armor replaced by Yuan Shao's soldiers were also given to Cao Cao.

In the end, when Cao Cao withdrew his troops, he gathered some Luoyang city residents who fled into the mountains along the way. These people escaped from Luoyang City at the beginning, and only escaped the ravages of Dong Zhuo.

Under their guidance, Cao Cao found some food and grass from hidden places in the village.

There was no one in the village, that is to say, the people in this village were in-laws from nearby villages, so they probably knew something about their grain storage.

Cao Cao looked at the mess in the village, the houses were turned upside down, and there were bloodstains that had turned brown on the ground. Although he didn't see any corpses, he knew what had happened to the village.

I just don't know if it was Dong Zhuo who did it or the bandits nearby.

He sighed softly, and saw that the room he entered happened to have pens and inks, so he took water and studied the inks, picked up a door panel, and wrote on it that Cao Jun passed by to borrow food. If the villagers return, they can use this article to go to Cao Ying Take the words of silver.

Guo Jia, who was following him, saw his behavior and smiled slightly. The frequency of the feather fan shaking was higher, showing that he was happy.

On the contrary, the villagers who defected were a little puzzled. He thought that the chief didn't believe what he said, so he mustered up his courage and said tremblingly, "My lord, there is really no one in this village..."

"Everyone in the village was killed."

"I know." Cao Cao stopped writing, put down his pen and ink, and sighed, "I only hope that one day someone will come to the door with this wooden sign."

The villagers didn't understand what he meant, but the soldiers beside him understood.

They were all trained and selected as soldiers of Cao Cao. They were all born in peasant households, and they also left their hometowns. Seeing the tragic situation in this village, they felt complicated. It’s just that those who came to see the army were not involved in their families, but brought It's just a bit of a pity that I can't go home.

There are many people like them in every village, either because of a serious illness of a relative, or because of a disaster year, the harvest of the farmers is dead, and the grain stored is just this, which cannot withstand too many storms.

As long as they encounter a hurdle once or twice, they will not be able to pass.

What Cao Cao meant was that he hoped that one day the villagers who left home like them could return home, and when these people returned home, facing the empty villages and empty granaries, they would definitely feel desperate. It gave them a chance of life.

This is the meaning understood by the soldiers. Because of the different positions of each person, the meaning reflected when seeing the message is different.

For example, Guo Jia, he quickly thought of a good idea: "My lord, when we return to the camp along the way, we might as well help clean up the bandit villages in the mountains along the way. Under Dong Zhuo's ravages, some villagers must fall into the grass and become bandits. If you meet villagers, You can also tell them that Dong Zhuo's army has retreated, and you can return home. If you encounter evil thieves,..."

He didn't say any more, but everyone present knew it in their hearts.

If you encounter a bandit village, of course you have to rob the rich and help the poor on behalf of the sky.

The grain and grass transported from Chenggao to Luoyang was suddenly returned, and a few soldiers came back with luggage instead. Facing this situation, Xia Anran felt baffled.

This time, he and Xun Yu were stationed at the rear. He was young, so Xun Yu took him to familiarize himself with how to do the logistics work for combat preparations. Xia Anran saw that Xun Yu was getting food and grass from various places and transporting them out like magic, so he didn't panic. Not busy and calm, led by him, the mentality of Cao Ying's left-behind soldiers was extremely stable, as if Cao Cao did not take away almost all the main force, and he was not the weakest army either.

The staple food has been transported away, so Cao Ying's food is naturally insufficient, but even under such circumstances, Xun Yu specially found orchid grass and organized everyone to bathe with it to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

Of course, a group of soldiers didn’t have the conditions to soak in soup, and they didn’t care about it. They boiled some bluegrass soup in a big pot and just stood naked by the river and threw it on their bodies. Can not bear to look.

What about the conservative ancients?

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, it was respected by wearing less. For example, when going to court, it was to show respect to the emperor by wearing bare feet without shoes and socks. So one of Cao Cao's later privileges was to be allowed to wear shoes to court.

Later, you can wear socks to the court, but you must be barefoot when offering sacrifices to heaven.

This is because until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the sitting posture of the ancients was sitting straight, which is similar to the current kneeling posture. If the shoes are dirty, it is easy to stain the clothes, so everyone takes off their shoes first when entering the room, and wait until the chair is invented, and then sit. There is no need to take off your shoes, and the court etiquette has gradually changed to - wear more to show respect.

So in the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, cough, it was respect for a man to show his breasts, and it was respect for a girl to show her buttocks with bare feet and bare arms... Well, this is probably not too rude.

Anyway, Xia Anran could only hide her face and run into Xun Yu's tent, but Xun Lingjun was also taking a bath.

It's just that his treatment is much better, and there is also a bathtub for taking a bath.

Xia Anran: No, why take a shower in the middle of the room?

Xia Anran: I really don't understand you Han people very well!

Xun Yu: "Jingxi? Have you ever been in trouble today?"

Xia Anran replied dumbly, "Anran just returned to the camp, and it's not too late."

So Xun Yu invited with a smile, "Why don't we take a bath together?"

"No, no need..."

"Let's go together, I just sent someone to send your blue soup, I'm afraid it's cold now," said Xun Yu sitting up, changing his prone position to a sitting position, "Come in for bubbles, just to relieve fatigue. "

Xia Anran tried really hard to refuse, but under Xun Yu's earnest invitation, he still couldn't resist the pleasure of taking a bath in early summer =w=

Xia Anran quickly stripped naked and went into the water. The bath liquid made of orchid grass soup was a light brown liquid, and the tent was dark. In fact, she couldn’t see anything in the water. Xia Anran picked up the rubbing stone beside her and asked her immediate boss if she Need to rub his back, Xun Yu readily agreed, and turned his back.

Rubbing stones are very similar to the volcanic stones that have been around for a while in modern times, but this one is made of pottery, with patterns on one side, and the other side is used for scrubbing on the body. In this era without soap, the ancients used this to wash away the dirt on their bodies remove.

Xun Yu's skin is fair, his long hair is pulled up with a cloth towel, he is already a young man, his body is not as thin as Xia Anran's, although he can't see it when he puts on his clothes, but after taking off his clothes, he reveals that he has broad shoulders, long legs, long waist and slender waist I'm in good shape.

The pampered and pampered Xun Langjun's skin is white enough to glow in the dark room, just like lactone tofu, Xia Anran is a little afraid to use force, of course he is no stranger to taking a bath, who can rub it together when he was in college As for the good friends who took a bath, at that time, they always took pleasure in rubbing their backs red, and every time they took a bath, they were calm on the surface and actually grinned.

He tentatively put the rubbing stone on Xun Langjun's back, and rubbed it a few times.

Xun Yu asked Xia Anran to use more force while asking, "I saw Jingxi's face was happy just now, but do you have good news for Yu?"

While rubbing the beauty's back, Xia Anran said, "The food delivery team has returned a few days ago, the food and grass have been returned, and there are still a few vehicles for transporting food. The soldiers said that the Lord met Yuan Gong when he sent troops. The two armies, Sun Gong and Sun Gong, were victorious in this battle, and Dong Zhuo abandoned his luggage and fled westward to Chang'an."

He paused, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that the preparations were insufficient this time, so Dong Zhuo could only escape, but the lord got a lot of food and grass donated by Yuan Gong. According to the soldiers, the lord swept the bandit village along the way and got a lot of it." There is no food, so I sent these back first, and there will be more later.”

He was really regretful, if Dong Zhuo could be killed here, at least the people of Chang'an would be able to escape this catastrophe.

This was good news for Cao Jun, but Xun Yu's eyes were lowered and he was not happy. He turned his back to Xia Anran, so naturally he didn't need to manage his facial expressions.

The corner of Xun Langjun's lips, who was known as beautiful and graceful, showed a sarcastic smile, "Where is the lack of preparation?"

Xia Anran rubbed his hands on his back. He knew the history, so he naturally knew what he meant. For a while, he didn't know how to comfort this man who was devoted to Han, so he could only say dryly, "Dong Zhuo is strong and good at leading the army. There are only three coalition forces, and as the saying goes, the poor should not chase after them, I am afraid they really want to wait until the conditions are better and then attack Chang'an in one fell swoop?"

Xun Yu didn't respond, but just motioned Xia Anran to turn his back, and he came to help him rub his back. Xia Anran lay on the edge of the tub to enjoy the feeling of someone rubbing his back, but as soon as Xun Yu got started, he screamed "Wen Ruo Wen Ruo, take it easy~"

Xun Yu paused for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch his body, and sighed, "Jingxi, you are actually weaker than Fengxiao."

What an adjective is weak!And why do you want to compete with Guo Jia, Mr. Xun Yu, you are trolling, do you know that?

"I'm still growing..." Xia Anran groaned and patted his head back, wanting to respond to Xun Yu's soft belly, but he touched his abdominal muscles, four lumps.

This unscientific!How could Xun Yu, who works at his desk every day, still have abdominal muscles!

Facing Xia Anran's expression of doubting life as he put his paw on his belly, Xun Yu smiled slightly, and said euphemistically, "Every day... when Jing Xi is still sleeping, he will exercise with the army."

Xia Anran: ...

He silently withdrew his hand and turned his back as if he didn't hear anything.

Seeing this performance, Xun Yu shook his head slightly, "Jingxi, why don't you exercise with me in the future..." He paused, "Don't learn to be filial piety."

Between sleep and health, Xia Anran hesitated for a while, but still chose health, and he weakly suggested, "In that case, why don't you take Fengxiao together."

For the sake of organizational unity and for the health of Cao Cao's corporals, small groups cannot be formed in the team. If you want to exercise, you must come together.

Xia Anran and Xun Yu reached a consensus.

Afterwards, Xia Anran discovered that after the group bath and the food and grass were returned, the atmosphere of the soldiers left behind in the Cao camp was obviously relaxed. complained.

In the past few days, as the chariots returned to Chenggao one after another, there were also wounded soldiers returning with them.

Cao Ying is not equipped with military doctors now, but only recruited a few apprentices who know a little bit about medical skills. When these people came back to the military camp, they quickly became busy. Xia Anran invited a doctor from Chenggao City, and this time he came back There are more than 50 wounded soldiers in the hospital, all of whom are seriously wounded, and have varying degrees of infection on their bodies.

Xun Yu quickly sorted out a special room. This is a wooden house built after the army left. Compared with ordinary tents, it is better for keeping warm and sheltering from the wind. The charcoal basin has also been put in.

wounded barracks.

This is its name.

Xia Anran distributed a mask to the soldiers and doctors who entered the camp. This kind of crude mask cannot prevent the inhalation of germs, but it can prevent saliva from splashing. Everyone's mouth contains a lot of germs, and because of this era. If oral hygiene is not taken seriously, the situation here will only be more severe than in modern times.

These bacteria are balanced in the mouth of the human body, and because each person's constitution is different, they will not cause disease in a short period of time, but they are pathogenic for people with weak resistance.

He couldn't explain these problems, but Xia Anran himself set an example by wearing a mask, and Xun Yu supported him, so the soldiers who entered the camp had no choice but to wear it, and Xia Anran said that as long as those who insisted on wearing masks in the wounded barracks could win A granola as a reward.

Wheat Cakes!

These people have only eaten it once. It is Xia Anran's baked pancake made by grinding wheat into rough noodles. Baking has not yet been developed in this era. Although the rough noodles are a bit rough, the soldiers said that there is no problem Our teeth are fully clenching!The fragrant and hot wheat cakes are wrapped in dried fish, which is delicious.

Under the "heavy reward", soldiers entering the wounded barracks for the first time will take off the clean masks on the right side of the door, and put them on the left side when they go out. These are relatively thin fabrics, and someone will collect them every day, wash them and dry them. , strictly speaking, it is not particularly troublesome.In addition to masks, the wounded barracks are often extravagantly disinfected with lime water.

The bleeding of the soldiers had already stopped. Many of them used the soil method, that is, soil to stop the bleeding, and some used lime to stop the bleeding. The former could be washed clean, but the latter could not be cleaned with water. Under the guidance of a well-informed doctor, he took a brush and peeled off the hardened lime bit by bit, and washed it with water when there was no lime residue visible.

The water has been boiled, which is what Xia Anran specially ordered. There is a stove in the house of the wounded barracks, and there is a fire channel under the stove that passes under the bed and then to the outside of the house. It is the Northeast Kang. To be honest, it is not easy to make this thing in this era, and it has failed several times, mostly because the hardness of the refractory brick is not enough, but luckily it succeeded in the end.

Hot water is always burning on the stove in the wounded barracks, first to supply the needs of the doctor, and second, to keep the room warm. The wounded soldiers lose a lot of blood and lower their body temperature. Heating is very important.

At the same time, there was a pot of boiling water used to sterilize utensils. Xia Anran finally made something like a steamer, covered with layers of reed leaves to prevent the steam from being exposed.

In any case, the temperature of water vapor is higher than that of hot water. This condition is not as good as high-pressure steam sterilization, and it is also more effective than boiling equipment.

Because the flue can't be made that long, the warmest kang beds are only four or five, but no matter what, the inside of the room is warmer than the outside, and the warmest beds are naturally for the most injured people. According to the doctor's judgment, there are also some wounds that are not suitable for sleeping on the heated kang. In short, follow the doctor's orders.

But even so, there were less than 50 of the more than 20 seriously injured after Cao Cao and others returned, and it was only one hand that these 20 people could return to the battlefield.

Shockingly high loss rate.

Xia Anran was depressed for several days after watching the corpses being rolled out.

In the era without antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, although he has tried his best to provide the best food and the best environment, he can only watch the wound fester and fester, and watch a person die in pain because he can no longer close his eyes .

On this day, another soldier was sent out from the Wounded Barracks. This person was originally thought by Xia Anran to be the most likely to recover. His wounds recovered very well, and he was also very optimistic. Just kidding, that is, one day he suddenly said that he was homesick.

On the second day, I developed a high fever, which never came down.

Finally went to sleep.

The doctor explained to him that this is the loss of the will to live. People often rely on one breath to support themselves. When this breath is let down, they can't survive the test that they could have survived.

Xia Anran naturally understood this truth, but he couldn't accept it for a while.

He wants to find Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, both of them are the best doctors of this era, he can't dispense medicine, they will definitely.

Hua Tuo is hard to find, Zhang Zhongjing's ancestral home is in Nanyang, not too far from Chenggao... But the problem is that he should be visiting doctors now, collecting materials for "Treatise on Febrile Diseases".

We can only send someone over to ask if there is any information about his trace.

After sending the people out, he didn't have time to think about these issues, because Cao Jun returned to the camp and brought a large number of newcomers who were actually prisoners, plus the lightly wounded soldiers, and the luggage brought back by Cao Cao, the camp was busy all at once. up.

Some villagers in Chenggao City outside the barracks heard that Cao Jun had beaten away the villain Dong Zhuo and sent melons and fruits to express their gratitude. After the victory, there will naturally be a celebration banquet, and the recruits brought back also need to arrange accommodation, one thing after another After letting go, let Xia Anran hit the back of the head with her busy feet.

Guo Jia came back with the army, so it was impossible to help, Xun Yu was busier than him, Xia Anran rolled his eyes, and brought Pang Tong here very immorally.

Pang Tong accepted the paperwork well, and agreed to Xia Anran's request for help after a moment of silence.

On the other hand, Xun Yu laughed and shook his head when he heard that he did this, thinking in his heart that Xia Anran might not know what it meant. In some places, Jingxi seemed to lack common sense, but he didn't remind him.

He has seen this kid Pang Tong many times, even if Xia Anran didn't know about it, he definitely knew in his heart that since he agreed to come over, he meant to investigate.

Xun Yu would never underestimate such an overly clever child.If it goes well, there will be another young genius under the lord's account.
