The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

In fact, Liu Zheng was trying to comfort himself, if he could win by quantity, who would be willing to deal with quality?

It was precisely because Liu Zheng couldn't get more horses that he could only take the elite route.

Instead of having a few thousand more cavalry, it is better to train the cavalry you have now to improve the ability of the cavalry.

After all, Liu Zheng's cavalry is no longer capable of being better than others. The stirrup used to be exclusive to Liu Zheng, but later, with these days, Liu Zheng's cavalry gradually fought these enemy troops.

Stirrups have been passed down from here, not only Liu Beijun, but even Yuan Shao's sons already know about stirrups.

Although it has not been fully equipped in their own army, as time goes by and the forging technology in the north improves, the stirrup will probably be gradually equipped on the cavalry.

At that time, Liu Zheng's cavalry will not only have no advantage, but may even be even more disadvantaged than the opponent.

Therefore, Liu Zheng must improve his cavalry ability as soon as possible. Fortunately, Liu Zheng is not completely without advantages now.

At least for these years, he has worked hard to improve the skills of his craftsmen, which has improved the skills of the blacksmiths a lot. Now the forging ability, the weapons and armor they forge are much better than those in the north.

The armor alone, compared with the soldiers under Liu Zheng, is much better than the enemy army. Unless it is a powerful general who uses a sharp weapon to completely penetrate the armor, otherwise, it is an ordinary soldier who cannot see through it at all. The armor of generals under Liu Zheng.

These armors can bring a very high protective effect to Liu Zheng's soldiers, but unfortunately, the forging of the armor is relatively difficult and cannot be mass-produced.

At present, Liu Zheng's armor can only meet the equipment of generals and some elite soldiers and horses.

For example, the equipment of a small number of soldiers and horses such as trapped camp, Jin Guoying, Jinyiwei and so on.

For three months in a row, Zhang Shiping went back and forth to the Xianbei gathering place three times, and directly helped Liu Zheng buy more than [-] war horses from the Xianbei people.

With more than 2 horses, Liu Zheng let Xu Huang again, and expanded his cavalry to 2. At the same time, these cavalry were equipped with the standard of one man and two cavalry, gradually increasing the strength of the cavalry.

However, many cavalry soldiers died in battle before. Xu Huang's subordinates did not have so many soldiers at all. Can't ride a horse.

Therefore, it will take some time for the cavalry newly trained by Xu Huang to shoulder the burden.

However, anyway, Liu Zheng won't need these cavalry for a while. They only need to guard Jizhou in the north and guard against Yuan Xi's attack in Youzhou.

Liu Zheng's eyes are now fully focused on Hanzhong.

In the past two months, information from the Hanzhong area has been passed on to Liu Zheng.

In the great battle last winter, Liu Bei did not take down Hanzhong, but Liu Bei did not give up. No, as soon as spring began, he gathered his troops again and began to station troops in Hanzhong.

This made Zhang Lu very anxious.

Nanzheng City, the prefecture of Hanzhong County.

Zhang Lu was pacing back and forth anxiously, as if he was waiting for someone.

After waiting for a while, a few people appeared outside.

Chapter 943 Calling for Help

What Zhang Lu was waiting for was not others, but Yan Pu, the number one counselor whom he relied on most.

Yan Pu is the person Zhang Lu relies on the most, because Yan Pu has followed Zhang Lu for a long time. Yan Pu is a native of Basil County and knows the vicinity of Hanzhong very well.

Once, on the land of Hanzhong, a farmer got a jade seal from the field, and Zhang Lu's subordinates wanted Zhang Lu to be the king of Hanning.

Because at this time, Liu Yan closed the door to play by himself. There are three emperors on the land of Huaxia, and it doesn't matter if Zhang Lu is called king or not.

Yan Pu advised him: "There are more than [-] households in the Hanchuan area. The property is rich, the land is fertile, and the mountains are high and steep. It is enough to keep the rich and the rich. It is enough to appoint officials and subordinates. There is no need to be king. I hope you will not be king for the time being. Don’t cause trouble."

Zhang Lu listened to the advice and did not become king.

After all, once Zhang Lu becomes king, his originally unknown identity will soon fall into the eyes of Liu Zheng and Liu Bei.

At that time, not to mention the court, even Liu Zheng will not let him go.

Even Liu Yan, who was next to Zhang Lu, might launch an attack on Zhang Lu, a brat who didn't know what to do.

At this time Zhang Lu saw Yan Pu coming in from the outside with a young man beside him, the expression on Zhang Lu's face became better.

Immediately asked Yan Pu a question.

"Mr. Yan, you are finally back, how is the situation?"

"Who is this?"

Zhang Lu asked Yan Pu to leave this time, in fact, he was going to Chengdu to ask Liu Yan for help. Last year, Liu Bei and Liu Zheng and Chen Bing were near Hanzhong, which had already aroused Zhang Lu's vigilance. Liu Bei and Liu Zheng.

Not to mention two people, even one person, Zhang Lu might not be able to stop it.

Therefore, Zhang Lu could only ask his nominal boss Liu Yan for help.

That's right, although Zhang Lu is the prefect of Hanzhong, he nominally belongs to Liu Yan's subordinates.

Speaking of this point, we have to start talking about it when Liu Yan entered Shu.

When Liu Yan entered Shu, he actually came here with the intention of being the emperor of the land. After arriving in Yizhou, he massacred the local dignitaries. In order to gain prestige as soon as possible, his power once reached its peak.

And Zhang Lu, who is the Five Dou Rice Sect, also chose to join Liu Yan early on. Under Liu Yan, he became a small official to help Liu Yan stabilize Yizhou.

If it was just like this, Liu Yan would not look at Zhang Lu with admiration, and would just treat him as an ordinary little brother.

But Zhang Lu has a powerful mother, Zhang Lu's mother upholds the "art of harmony between men and women" enshrined by her husband Wu Dou Mi Dao.It refers to the friendship between men and women, the love in the bed, and you will become a "breeding people", and all disasters will not come. Afterwards, if you study, you can also "ascend to heaven in the daytime" and "live forever in the world" as revealed by Wei Shu Shi Daozhi. .

This nonsense theory won the favor of the old man Liu Yan.Zhang Luma's obliquely arranged flower, which saves the country with a curve, went up to the top and caught up with Liu Yan.

He also showed his own experience and enlightened Liu Yan to learn and learn "the art of amalgamation between men and women", so as to be a qualified and model follower of the five buckets of rice.Zhang Luma, a half-aged lady, has a lot of energy. She has completely learned a set of alchemy from her father-in-law and husband.

She comes and goes freely, her face is her pass, she can go straight to Liu Yan's bedroom without being notified.At this time, Liu Yan is like a treasure.It was Zhang Lu's mother's bedside wind, and in exchange for the cunning Liu Yan to delegate power, he dared to let Zhang Lu, who was not a child of his own family, lead the Wudou Midao armed group to station in the throat of Hanzhong in the name of Governor Yi Sima.

Later, Zhang Lu was asked to "cut off the valley pavilion and kill the Han envoy".Liu Yan made himself king by instructing Zhang Lu to block roads and rob, kill the central envoys from Luoyang, and at the same time close the connection between Hanzhong and Yizhou.

Really, Zhang Lu had to call Liu Yan stepfather.

Although Zhang Lu now feels that he is capable enough to challenge Liu Yan, Zhang Lu has never turned against Liu Yan on the surface.

He has always pretended to be Liu Yan's grandson and younger brother.

Now that he was in trouble, Zhang Lu was naturally the first to think of asking his boss for help.

No, Yan Pu went to find Liu Yan for Zhang Lu.

It's just that when Zhang Lu saw the person Yan Pu brought back, his expression turned a little ugly.

At first glance, Zhang Lu didn't recognize who this person was, but after taking another look, Zhang Lu immediately recognized that the person who came with Yan Pu was none other than Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang is Liu Yan's youngest son, and also the most favored son.

Liu Yan had four sons in total, but the first three had bad fate, either died early or died outside.

Of the several sons, only Liu Zhang, the youngest son by Liu Yan's side, has been alive, and because he has only such a son left, Liu Yan's love for Liu Zhang can be said to be the ultimate.

No matter what Liu Zhang wanted, Liu Yan would never refuse what he could give.

This also made Liu Zhang develop the habit of being arrogant, extravagant and dissipated. He was suspicious of outsiders and favored villains at home. This is why Liu Zhang lost to Liu Bei in history.

Liu Zhang's appearance made Zhang Lu's face unhappy, but he still let him bow his hands immediately to salute Liu Zhang.

It's just that before he could speak, Liu Zhang had already opened his mouth to Zhang Lu in a strange manner.

"What? Prefect Zhang, you are so powerful now that you don't even know me, Liu Zhang."

Liu Zhang's words made Zhang Lu tremble in fright, and immediately changed his tone and answered Liu Zhang.

"How come, how come, how can I, Zhang Lu, not know Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu is a well-known figure in our Yizhou, who doesn't know Mr. Liu in this Yizhou."

"Hmph, my father has been sick and bedridden recently, and he has no time to pay attention to your affairs here. Let me bring someone to help you. Tell me, what troubles have you encountered?"

Liu Zhang was very calm. Although Yan Pu had told Liu Zhang everything about this place along the way, for Liu Zhang, Liu Bei and Liu Zheng were nothing to worry about.

These two were already rivals, and it was impossible for them to join hands for the sake of one Hanzhong. Liu Zhang predicted that the two would start fighting before capturing Hanzhong.

At that time, it is only necessary to have both sides, and maybe Liu Zhang can take advantage of the trend to make an alliance with one of them, and in turn fight Yizhou.

Zhang Lu didn't dare to neglect, and immediately chatted with Liu Zhang about Hanzhong's current predicament.

Chapter 944 Huang Xu Practices Medicine

After some explanations, Liu Zhang also had a more detailed understanding of the current situation in Hanzhong from Zhang Lu's mouth.

But after learning about it, Liu Zhang didn't worry even more, because Liu Bei, Liu Zheng and others hadn't started attacking Hanzhong yet, and it was too early for Hanzhong to prepare for a rainy day.

Although Liu Bei's troops gradually gathered near Hanzhong, Liu Zhang brought tens of thousands of troops, so he was not afraid at all.

What Liu Zhang is worried about is Liu Zheng in Shangyong City.

But at this time, Liu Zheng didn't have much time to pay attention to the affairs of Hanzhong. He stayed with Himiko in Jianye City for a few days.

It can be regarded as the gradual improvement of the relationship with Himiko.

Today's Himiko has also forgotten the grief of his brother's disappearance.

Came to a new place, started a new life.

It's just that Liu Zheng needs Himiko for some things.

This matter has to start from that day when an old man came to Jianye City.

End of March 193.

When Jianye was building a certain building, some houses collapsed due to the heavy snow, causing many people to suffer. Some of them were injured by the building and were sent to the medical center opened by Liu Zheng in Jianye.

There are many medical clinics under Liu Zheng's command.

Because after Liu Zheng invited Zhang Zhongjing a few years ago, he strongly supported Zhang Zhongjing in cultivating new disciples, recruited famous doctors from all over the world, gathered them into halls, and even set up a discipline of medicine in the military academy.

Let Liu Zheng's subordinates be able to train some outstanding medical students every year.

Except for some of these medical students who were ordered by Liu Zheng to join the army and become military doctors, some of them will go to the counties and counties to serve as doctors in the counties and counties to save lives and heal the wounded, and improve the quality of the people. Happiness index.

As the capital of Jianye, there are naturally more medical clinics here.

The level of medical skills of the doctors sitting in the medical center is naturally better, not only the famous Zhang Zhongjing's personal disciple Huang Xu personally sitting in the doctor's office.

Zhang Zhongjing even went to see a doctor in this clinic in person.

It's just that Zhang Zhongjing doesn't come every time, whether he comes or not depends on his mood.

Zhang Zhongjing would only come to the clinic if there was nothing else to do, otherwise Huang Xu would usually be here.

But this time, many civilians were affected by the accident, and the hospital was very busy. Huang Xu himself was overwhelmed by these things.

Although many students helped, but too many people were hurt, and he was almost overwhelmed.

Some people whose legs and feet were broken by the broken beam screamed in pain. Although Huang Xu himself was anxious about this kind of thing, Huang Xu, who took care of these patients, was not nervous, and began to follow his own ideas step by step. began to treat people.

Huang Xu's treatment method is very conservative, but it is also useful. After all, he learned from Zhang Zhongjing, with the teacher's teaching and his own thinking, it is very easy to treat these traumatic injuries.

Although it is not possible to completely cure these patients quickly, but to temporarily relieve their pain and then slowly cultivate, their pain can still be cured after all.

But after a set of treatment methods came down, there was an old man in the clinic who sneered at Huang Xu's treatment.

Suddenly, he sneered at Huang Xu.

"Young man, thanks to the fact that you are still the doctor in charge here, can't you even pick up a broken bone?"

The old man's words immediately silenced the already lively clinic.

Who is Huang Xu?

That is the personal disciple of Zhang Zhongjing, the most powerful famous doctor in Yangzhou. He has won the true biography of Zhang Zhongjing.

But now someone actually ridiculed Huang Xu's poor medical skills.

This is not slapping Huang Xu in the face.

Huang Xu didn't care about these things at first, and was busy treating these patients in his clinic, but the old man spoke again and said something to Huang Xu.

"I heard that you are the direct disciple of that Zhang Zhongjing. Your medical skills are so shallow, it seems that your master Zhang Zhongjing is not very good either."

After the old man finished speaking, Huang Xu, who had originally ignored the old man, couldn't bear it anymore.

You can insult yourself, but you can't insult your master. Huang Xu immediately got up, put down what he was doing, turned his head, and responded to the old man.

"Old gentleman, what do you mean by that? Boy, I have studied medicine for many years. Although my medical skills are not supernatural, I can also practice medicine and consult and solve some simple ailments and pains. I have no objection if you look down on me. , but you shouldn’t have insulted my master. If you speak ill of my master, I’m going to be rude to you!”

In ancient times, a master was like a father. If this old man insulted his master, it would be the same as insulting his own father. Of course, Huang Xu would not let his master be humiliated. .

"Oh? So, you still think you have good medical skills? You really are not good at learning, but you are very rampant."

"I didn't say that I have good medical skills, but I know a little bit. Listening to the old man's tone, do I also know some medical skills?"

"Understood? When I was studying medicine, your father was still playing with mud! Get out of the way and let you see how the old man treats these people."
