Chapter 1079: Wangmei Quenches Thirst
"Since General Qixin He Li has gone to look for water, the remaining half of the cart of water ............" Xue Wanjun looked forward to it, now that the whole army and horses are extremely hungry and thirsty, this half of the cart of water can be described as precious.
Hou Junji looked at the remaining half of the car of water and the expectant eyes of the generals, and waved his hand at the moment: "The remaining water will be divided equally among the garrison!" ”
The generals suddenly showed a look of surprise, although this half of the carload is not much, and even less is distributed among the armies, but it is the most valuable resource, which can replenish a little physical strength for the officers and soldiers of the whole army.
"You can't divide the water!" Suddenly, an opposition interrupted the surprise of the generals, and everyone turned around and found that the opponent of the water division was the Mo family, who gave half of the cart of water.
Xue Wanjun turned around and stared at Merton with a displeased face and said, "What does the ink sacrifice wine mean, it is because I regret it and don't want to sacrifice the water." ”
As we all know, the reason why there is this half of the car of water is because of the fire prevention needs of the firearms supervisor, and now there is less and less water, and there is only half a car left.
Merton shook his head and said: "General Xue misunderstood, if Mo was unwilling to give the water, I'm afraid he would have already quietly collected the water in the firearms superintendent." ”
Many generals nodded, Mo Jiazi is indeed selfless at this point, they also saw that this water dragon car is indeed full of water, and it is not used at all, if Mo Jiazi quietly gives the water of the water dragon car to the firearms supervisor at night to drink, I am afraid they will not notice it at all.
"What does it mean that the ink sacrifice wine does not allow the water to be divided?" Hou Junji asked, Merton not only contributed a cart of water, but also found a way to find water, Hou Junji's attitude towards him unconsciously softened a lot.
Merton bowed his hand to the generals and said: "In the ancient marches, there were few people who encountered a shortage of water, except for the old horse, you have ever heard of Wangmei to quench your thirst. ”
"Wangmei quenches your thirst!"
The generals couldn't help frowning and shaking their heads slightly.
Only then did Merton remember that the idiom of Wangmei quenching thirst came from the Song Dynasty, and there was no such saying now, so he did not hesitate to include it in the "Mozi Secret Works", and said loudly:
"The Secret Book of Mozi records such an allusion, according to legend, Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Wu also encountered a lack of water on the way to march again, the soldiers were extremely hungry and thirsty, and they were unable to move forward at all, seeing that the army was about to fall into a desperate situation, Cao Cao pointed at the soldiers with a whip and said, 'There is a large plum grove ahead, sweet to quench your thirst.'" After the soldiers, their saliva suddenly flowed, their hunger and thirst greatly decreased, and the whole army accelerated forward, and finally found a water source. ”
"Wangmei quenches your thirst! Cao Cao is really a generation of heroes, and his means are extraordinary. Hou Junji exclaimed.
The other generals nodded.
"However, it is miraculous to quench the thirst of Wangmei, but the whole army knows that this is the vast Gobi Desert, not to mention Merlin, there is no grassland, I am afraid this method will not work!" Hou Junji said disappointedly.
Merton said: "The law of the predecessors, we only need to learn from it, and how can we repeat the old tricks, that is not the East Shi Xiaofeng, now the core of the general He Li has gone to the north to get water, will return soon, this can be more than the illusory Merlin more motivating soldiers, if it is the core of the general He Li is a distant Merlin, and the half of the car of water around me is within reach of the thirst-quenching plum, we only need to drive this waterwheel in the army to go, the soldiers heard the sound of the water in the carriage and the army was determined. ”
"This is indeed a good law, such a little water, even if it is distributed to one of the armies, it will not be able to share half of it, it will not help at all." Niu Jinda agreed.
Merton continued: "And this water is life-saving water, now that the first soldier has fallen, there will definitely be a second and third soldier falling, but with this half of the cart of water, every fallen soldier will be replenished and treated with water, so that the soldier knows that even if there is a lack of water, there is no need to worry about his life, and he can definitely march with all his strength and get out of this Gobi as soon as possible." ”
After Merton finished speaking, the generals' eyes suddenly lit up, because the morale of the whole army had fallen to the extreme, if the soldiers knew that Qixin He Li was about to rush back with water, it was really unbearable, and there was a waterwheel to replenish water, and he would not die of thirst, there was hope in the front, and there was a waterwheel to save his life, and the soldiers of the whole army would definitely be in a big position.
"In this way, there is a way, just do what the ink sacrifice wine says!" Hou Junji nodded.
"In my opinion, it is fairest that this waterwheel should be kept by General Hou himself." Xin Fang'er suddenly interjected.
The other generals were silent, knowing Xin Fang'er's intentions. Once Hou Junji is in charge of the waterwheel, with the merit of saving the soldiers, he will definitely be able to win the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army.
However, Hou Junji shook his head unexpectedly and said: "Everyone knows that this is the waterwheel of the firearms supervisor, so let the ink sacrificial wine keep this carriage, so that the soldiers will not be suspicious." ”
This is a critical period for the whole army, and the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army, not to buy people's hearts.
"Yes! This waterwheel is an offering of ink sacrificial wine, and we naturally believe that the character of the ink sacrificial wine will definitely use this half of the cart of water where it is urgently needed. Niu Jinda echoed.
The generals nodded one after another, putting aside the identity of Hou Junji's main general, Mo Jiazi is indeed the best person to save this half of the car.
"Then arrange it this way, after you return to the army, immediately announce to the soldiers that General Qixin He Li will soon come back with a water source, and the ink sacrifice wine will walk in front of the army with a waterwheel, so that the soldiers will know that there is still enough water in the waterwheel, and once the soldiers faint, they will immediately take water for treatment." Hou Junji commanded.
"Yes!" The generals took orders one after another.
"What if the war horse falls to the ground due to lack of water?" Merton hesitated.
Hou Junji suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Then stab the horse and drink blood!" ”
The generals were silent, as an army, the war horse is the most important tool, if it is not the last moment, I am afraid that no one wants to take the step of stabbing the horse and drinking blood.
Hou Junji stretched out his hand, and the generals left one after another, and soon, there were bursts of cheers from the army, and it was obvious that the generals had spread the news that Qixin He Li was going to fetch water, and the entire army was shocked, and they all accelerated their march.
At the same time, a waterwheel passed proudly next to the army, and the sound of water was rattling, which was naturally a drop in the bucket for the 100,000 army, but for ordinary soldiers, they only knew that with this water, they no longer had to worry about their lives.
All of a sudden, the whole army was stable, the speed of the march increased greatly, although there were many soldiers along the way because of the lack of water and continued to arrive to the ground, but the water dragon car will arrive at the first time, in full view of everyone, take out a small amount of water for the hungry and thirsty fainting soldiers, soon, the soldiers who got the water replenishment once again returned to the team vigorously.
These rescued soldiers have been passed down by word of mouth, and everyone knows that the waterwheel is sweet and delicious water, even if it is extremely hungry and thirsty, the army does not have a trace of chaos, and still marches in an orderly manner.
The first day passed smoothly, and the next day more soldiers fainted, but the watermill once again made a great contribution to the rescue of the soldiers.
Finally, on the third day, the whole army was exhausted to the extreme, but all the soldiers couldn't help but hope as long as they saw the waterwheel passing by beside them.
However, they did not notice that the firearms superintendent's water truck was moving faster and faster, and the sound of the water splashing was only caused by the bumps of the vehicle.
Hou Junji stared at the north with an anxious face, all the generals knew that the waterwheel of the firearms supervisor had not lasted long, although there were stinging horses to drink blood to relieve it, but in just half a day, the army had lost hundreds of war horses, if Qixin He Li could not find the water source, the army would really be in a desperate situation.
As time passed, more and more horses fell to the ground, and the waterwheels of the firearms supervisor gradually lost the sound of water, and the army was about to fall into a desperate situation.
Suddenly, Hou Junji felt a little shaken, and he raised his telescope to look at the north, only to see that on the desolate Gobi in the north, a yellow dragon was galloping towards the army.
"Enemy attack, meet the enemy!" The generals obviously also discovered the situation, and the extremely high military quality of the Tang army was vividly embodied, with the sword unsheathed and the bow and crossbow wound.
Although the generals tried their best to hope that General He Li, who had gone to fetch water, would return, the defense that should have been in place was still completed even if it was extremely weak.
Gradually, the yellow dragon got closer and closer, and it was not until it was clear that the person who came was Qixin He Li, and the generals breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, General Qixin He Li!" Hou Junji waved his hand, and the armies slowly lowered their defenses.
Everyone is looking at the north with anticipation, this time the army can get out of the Gobi Desert intact, it depends on whether General Qixin He Li can bring back the water.
Soon, a thousand soldiers and three thousand war horses galloped to the army, and the leader of Qixin He Li turned over and dismounted, kneeling down on one knee with a loaded water bladder in both hands and handed it to Hou Junji.
"The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored and brings back the water."
"Good!" Hou Junji took the water bladder, felt the long-lost coldness in his hand, and at that moment, he waved his big hand and said: "Everyone, there is no endless road to heaven, and my army has water." ”
"There's water!" Immediately, the whole army burst into cheers.
The generals of the armies stepped forward one after another, unloaded the full water bladders on the back of three thousand war horses, and distributed them among the armies, and a group of soldiers quickly replenished the water for the horses, and after slightly relieving their hunger and thirst, they stuffed the water bladders as if they were treasures, and only after experiencing the pain of lack of water in the Gobi can they understand the preciousness of the water source, and there is still a long way to go.
"Set off at full speed, be sure to pass the Gobi Desert as fast as possible!" Hou Junji waved his big hand and said, with the water supply, the Tang army immediately came alive.
This time, he set out ahead of schedule, although the process was tortuous, but fortunately, the result was still very satisfactory, and he successfully crossed the most difficult step of the Gobi, with these waters, he could quickly pass through the Gobi and reach Gaochang.
Gao Chang never imagined that he would send troops so early, and this time he would take Gao Chang by surprise and win the fighter.
"I'm sure of Gaochang, and the Western Turks can't keep it, I said." Hou Junji said with high spirits in his heart.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
