Chapter 157 Three Gifts, One Request!

"The last generals visited the Prime Minister, and it was more cumbersome to prepare materials and hand over the city, so the people and horses were late for a few days, and I asked the Prime Minister for forgiveness!"

Gao Shun, Yu Ban, Zhang Xiu, and Jiang Qi came to the big tent, and went forward to salute the army, although they came from a long journey, the four of them were in good spirits, and it seemed that they were very well prepared, and they didn't suffer much hardship along the way!

and the army they brought, also bright armor and high morale, holding five-color flags, singing triumphant songs, entering the base camp in order, and then camping, burying pots and cooking, everything is done in an orderly manner!

"Haha! - The four generals came to support, only the work of fatigue, how to talk about the word 'forgiveness', come on, quickly put down the banquet, the old man and the four generals picked up the wind and washed the dust!

By the way, before you set off, did you see Xiao Lang, how did he live, what did he usually do, and what did he think about this battle in Liaodong? ”

Cao Cao smiled and helped the four of them up, patted them on the shoulders, and said good words to appease, like a spring breeze and rain, the ability of traitors to buy people's hearts is also superb, only the big-eared Ah Fu can compare with it!

Of course, what the traitor is most concerned about is his 'good son-in-law', whether he has resentment in his heart, and when he is going to go out of the mountain, without Xiao Yi's assistance, he is like a broken arm!

"Before the last generals set out on the expedition, they once went to Crouching Tiger Mountain to visit, Da Sima took off his armor, put on a Taoist robe, wrapped his belly with coarse tea and light rice, and was quiet and far-reaching and self-cultivation, it is said that he wanted to explore the avenue of heaven and earth and pursue the art of immortality!

In addition, Da Sima has prepared three gifts, let us bring them to the Prime Minister, thinking that it will be used to crusade against Liaodong, and there is one thing to ask for, and I hope that the Prime Minister will approve it! ”

Thinking of Xiao Yi's 'Qing Xiu' appearance, the four generals suddenly felt that their tongues were numb, their necks were stiff, and their legs and stomachs were tendoned...... A murderous butcher, open-mouthed benevolence and morality, closed-mouthed and indifferent, is there anything more ridiculous?

At the same time, Gao Shun took out the first gift, which was a cowhide map, which was slowly unfolded in the big tent, marked with mountains, rivers, plains, and forests in Liaodong...... The content is quite rich, even Samhan, Fuyu, Louwo, Goguryeo...... and the Unu island country in the east, which was also introduced in detail!

Xiao Yi was an otaku in his previous life, but he longed for beautiful scenery, but unfortunately he was shy in his pocket, and he could only enjoy it on the map, so he firmly imprinted the great rivers and mountains of the motherland in his mind.

"A good detailed military map, clearly organized, clear at a glance, with the help of this map, the pacification of Liaodong is just around the corner!"

"Da Sima is not the number one general in the world, he has lived in the inland of the Central Plains for a long time, and he knows Liaodong well, is it really the reincarnation of Xingjun?"

……………………………………

The civil and military ministers gathered around and carefully checked the map, compared to Guo Jia's drawing according to ancient books, this one is too standard, especially for the rivers, lakes, and dark springs in Liaodong...... I made the most detailed introduction!

The 'steaming method' and 'hourglass method' are also explained in detail at the bottom, which can extract drinkable fresh water from the salty and bitter seawater, so that the army no longer worries about the water source!

After reading the map, the ministers were ecstatic, but they couldn't help but think that if Da Sima Ken went out of the mountain and participated in the battle to conquer Liaodong, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort, but it was a pity...... Monarchs and ministers are suspicious of each other, what can they do?

Cao Cao was also looking at the map, but he had another idea in his heart, he thought that Kyushu in the world was the core of the world, but he didn't expect that outside the territory of the Han Dynasty, there was such a vast territory, and he had become a frog at the bottom of the well!

Xia Yu, Yin Shang, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty...... None of the Ming monarchs and saints of the past dynasties broke through the scope of Kyushu, if they opened up their territory and expanded their territory, and incorporated the vast land, peninsula, and islands in the northeast into the territory of China, wouldn't such a great achievement far surpass the three emperors and five emperors and become the first person in the past and present?

Thinking of the proudness, Cao Cao couldn't help but be enthusiastic and full of fighting spirit, but if he wanted to complete this great feat, he needed the assistance of the world's wizards, and the thing of cutting off his wings by himself was too inappropriate!

"For this expedition to Liaodong, the materials prepared were: 30,000 yurts, 500,000 sheepskins, 3 million catties of fried noodles, and 300,000 pairs of marching ...... In addition, grain and grass, dried vegetables, and refined salt are being urgently prepared, and they are being transported to Daying one after another! ”

Yu Ban took out a list and read it aloud, all of them were food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and things urgently needed in the army, this was Xiao Yi's second gift!

It turned out that after seizing Jixian County, Xiao Yi hoarded a large number of these materials through the Liang family caravan for the purpose of conquering Liaodong, but he didn't expect to work hard, but he didn't have the opportunity to participate in the war, so he had to let the four generals bring it over, and it was considered his own contribution, although the people were not there, they yearned for it!

In addition, the environment in Liaodong is harsh, and the soldiers are very easy to get sick, which seriously affects the combat effectiveness, so Xiao Yi flipped through the medical books and carefully developed a recipe, bezoar, musk, pearl, borneol, borax...... As the main material, it is ground into white powder, which has the effect of clearing heat and opening the body, dispelling filth and detoxifying!

This medicine is mixed with warm water, and it can be taken directly, which is good for vomiting abdominal pain, dizziness, and high fever...... A kind of illness can be said to be a cure for the disease, but it is the treasure of the long march, so it is named: 'The march is scattered!' ’

"Da Sima is both civil and military, and he is proficient in the art of Qihuang, he is a famous divine doctor and holy hand, and now he is sent to the march, which really saves our army!"

Since the expedition of the Cao army, because of the harsh environment and the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, the soldiers have been very sick, vomiting and diarrhea, and the high fever does not go away, hundreds of people have to die every day, and the combat effectiveness has also plummeted!

Now that there is an emergency medicine, everyone is happy, and hurriedly distribute the camps, everyone pours two large bowls, there is a disease to cure, no disease prevention, and according to the secret recipe, collect medicinal materials, and configure a lot, as one of the necessary military supplies, and grain, grass, refined salt!

Xiao Lang made a move, it was really extraordinary, after taking the 'marching and scattering', the soldiers were unaccustomed to the disease of water and soil, and they were actually eight or nine times better, and they could wield swords and guns again, and kill the enemy bravely, even Guo Jia, who was seriously ill, looked much better after taking two pairs!

While everyone was happy, they were also secretly looking forward to it, the first two gifts of Da Sima were already so powerful, and the third gift of the finale was such a treasure, so they all opened their eyes wide and stared at the four generals tightly to see what they took out?

Unexpectedly, Gao Shun and Yu Ban ...... The four of them looked at each other, and did not take out their things, but waved their hands outside, and then several soldiers 'invited' into a person, in his thirties, of medium stature, dressed simply, and although his appearance was very ordinary, he exuded a sense of fortitude!

It is not uncommon to take people as a courtesy, between emperors and generals, dignitaries and dignitaries, often give each other girls, beauties,, some hobbies are special, and they will also send beautiful boys, but you can give a middle-aged uncle as a gift, I have never heard of it?

"Dare to ask Your Excellency's surname, why did you come to the army, could it be the old man of Da Sima?"

"Da Sima sent this person here, he must have his intentions, I don't know what his skills are, can help our army pacify Liaodong?"

……………………………………

With a strong curiosity, everyone wanted to see what was so special about this 'gift', and the middle-aged man also showed embarrassment, he lived for thirty-six years, and was regarded as a 'gift', which was really ashamed of the ancestors of the Tian family!

"This person's name is Tian Chou, the word Zitai, right Beiping County - Wuzhong County, few talents, good fencing, good travel, Liu Yu for Youzhou pastor, hired this person to engage, there are many good strategies to offer, and then see the darkness of the government, so he resigned and did not do, and took the clansmen to live in seclusion in the mountains!

When Yuan Shao dominated Hebei, he hired Mr. Zitai many times, but he insisted on not rejecting, after Yuan Xi fled to Youzhou, he also wanted to ask Mr. to come from an assistant, but he was also refused, and the name of perseverance and unyielding spread all over Youzhou!

In addition to his noble character, he also likes to travel all over the world, and he is well versed in the geography of Liaodong, and is proficient in Xiongnu, Karasuma, Xianbei, and Goryeo...... The language and customs of all ethnic groups are a great talent, so on the order of the great Sima, he invited the gentleman to the army as a marching guide! ”

Zhang Xiu stood up and gave a detailed introduction to Tian Chou's origin, because this great sage was the one who led the troops into the mountain and forcibly 'invited' out, and it took a lot of effort!

And it turns out that Tian Chou is indeed a talent, and the four people are going all the way east, and it is by relying on this person to lead the way that they have found enough water sources and taken a lot of unjust roads, which will be energetic and bright!

However, what Zhang Xiu and Yu Ban are even more surprised is that Da Sima and Tian Chou do not know each other, and there is no correspondence, why do they know that he is proficient in geography and lives in seclusion in the endless mountain, could it be that he is really the reincarnation of Xingjun, and the prophet is not successful?

"Mr. Zitai's name, the old man has also heard of it, today to see the honor, it is really a blessing for three lives, the disrespect of the soldiers under his command, please bear with Mr. more, the old man has made amends for them!

In addition, 200,000 soldiers went on an expedition to Liaodong, the upper is the Han Tianwei, and the lower is the people of Limin, which is a righteous move. ”

Cao Cao tidied up his clothes, bowed and saluted, his words were extremely earnest, and he occupied the moral high ground, he had already figured it out, this was the guide officer he was looking for!

"The Prime Minister's perseverance and crusade against Hu Lu is a move for the country and the people, although he is a man of the mountains and wilderness, he is willing to do his best to help the soldiers achieve this great achievement, and they will not give up!"

The dignified Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, despite this, Corporal Lixian, Tian Chou is no longer able to eat the ancients, and he is also at a loss, and the other party is the teacher of the king, crusading against Hu Lu, so why do you have a reason to refuse?

Therefore, Tian Chou didn't dare to do it, knelt on the ground, willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, and the ministers also surrounded it, and they congratulated each other, and the guide who had been looking for a long time finally found it!

Next, in the big tent, a feast was set up, for Gao Shun, Yu Ban, Zhang Xiu, Jiang Qi, Tian Chou and his party, to wash the dust in the wind, a few glasses of wine, everyone suddenly remembered that the three gifts of Da Sima were not given for free, he still had a request?
