Chapter 235 Desert March 5
For a long time, Wei Fu in her arms also realized the abrupt behavior, broke free from Jia Rong's embrace, and ran to the distance with a red face. The soldiers on the field all resisted their smiles, and their faces rose to a pig's waist.
Jia Rong coughed softly and said, "Let's find a safe place to rest. Let's hurry when the sky is light." Even if he was thick-skinned, his face was still slightly hot when he was surrounded by a group of old men like this.
"I, Jia Rong, the brother who died to save me tonight, absolutely dare not forget that their names will be remembered on the hero's grave forever, and their families will not worry about food and clothing. Children don't have to worry about going to school. As long as the Xiliang Army will not treat these dead brothers' families badly in a day." Jia Rong said in a heavy tone.
Speaking of this, many soldiers were moved, and the cheerful atmosphere was a pause. They were soldiers for fame and fortune, and for their families. Jia Rong gave unprecedented care to the families of the deceased, especially the Xiliang Army, which represented the glorious hero tomb.
Hero Tomb was once considered the best destination for the soldiers of the Xiliang Army. In addition, the Xiliang Army has always treated the soldiers who died on the battlefield very well, which made the Xiliang Army still have detached combat effectiveness and cohesion after the expansion.
Personality charm will affect the combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, but there will never be benefits. Only by reassure the soldiers about what happens behind them can they really win their allegiance. Why are deserters on the battlefield? On the one hand, the courage is more worried about the things behind them.
Ma Teng has been silent, because he was running away with his family at the time of the incident, and he was not even with the soldiers under his command, let alone to rescue Jia Rong regardless of life and death. I have to say that the behavior of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army shocked him again. The spirit of the soldiers united and sacrificed for the sake of the generals. He is not so influential.
It has been more than a year since he joined Geng's army, and Ma Teng saw such a team for the first time.
The crescent moon hanging in the sky finally came out of the faint dark clouds and sprinkled the moonlight into the desert. The moonlight was still as white as paper. The difference was that there were much fewer people standing in the desert.
The injury in his leg was not very serious, but a layer of skin was broken. After a little treatment, Jia Rong arranged the soldiers in charge of vigilance, dragged his tired body to the sand dunes not far away, and sat there quietly, thinking back on the bits and pieces from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present.
Jia Rong found that what he gained the most was brotherhood. The officers and soldiers successfully won Jia Rong's military heart and won many life and death brothers. It was a kind of friendship that was willing to sacrifice for himself. It has long been beyond the ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates. Jia Rong inevitably liked this feeling and has seen too many future generations. The ancients were so simple that they were a comrade-in-arms who was completely worth entrusting their backs.
The next day, the team set out again, and the cheerful atmosphere was washed away by a quicksand last night.
Near noon, the temperature in the desert was particularly high. Under the huge temperature difference, dozens of soldiers fell ill, "cold", which is a new term unheard of in the Han Dynasty.
I have to say that the doctor's life is really big enough. The sand and sand did not take away his somewhat rickety body, but people are about to enter old age. Such a long run is already unresistible. Tenacious persistence until now is also based on the deep desire to live.
Speaking of which, Jia Rong admired this old man.
There is doctor's treatment. Although the treatment time is longer, it is not dangerous to get the soldiers out of the "cold". Jia Rong has to re-examine the old man. He can treat sword wounds and cure colds. How can't it be as simple as a small doctor?
"What's your name?" Jia Rong looked directly into the doctor's eyes and asked.
I don't know whether it's a long walk in the desert that makes the old man a little confused or he is used to this kind of look. The doctor replied calmly, "Caomin Huayu, didn't you tell the general before?"
Jia Rong frowned and thought deeply. There was nothing worth noting when he heard the name before, but after seeing Hua Yu's medical skills, it was inevitable that there was a trace of doubt in his heart.
"How old is my father-in-law this year?" Jia Rong asked.
"Forty to four." Hua Yu replied truthfully.
"Does my father-in-law know Hua Tuo?" Jia Rong said in surprise.
Hua Yu looked at Jia Rong doubtfully and said, "I don't know how the general knew the name of Zhongdi?"
Jia Rong stepped forward and grabbed Hua Yu's hand and said with some excitement, "Hua Tuo is your brother. It's so good, so good!"
"Hahaha..." Jia Rong looked up to the sky and laughed happily.
"What's wrong with the general?" Hua Yu asked puzzledly. He found that there were too many questions that puzzled him when he was with Jia Rong.
Jia Rong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Keep going." Nothing is important to get out of the desert.
Hua Yubai said, "If the general sees his younger brother, please let him go back to his hometown as soon as possible. His younger brother is keen on medical skills all his life and is determined to travel all over the world. He has not returned for many years."
Jia Rong nodded and agreed, "You two will definitely meet at that time."
Hua Yu bowed again excitedly.
With the identity of Brother Hua Tuo, Jia Rong paid enough attention to Hua Yu in the next march, and even the limited drinking water in the army was given to him an extra bag. Everyone had no objection to this. In the harsh desert, Hua Yu's role is still very important.
There is less and less drinking water in the army, and the amount of drinking water required by soldiers in the army is decreasing day by day. No one in the team has any objection, including Ma Teng's family, who are absolutely obedient to Jia Rong's orders.
Xiao Ma Chao was so thirsty that he couldn't stand it. He ran to Jia Rong, shook Jia Rong's clothes, and looked at the water bag on his waist with a longing face.
Jia Rong smiled, untied the water bag at his waist and handed it to Ma Chao. Ma Chao took the water bag and jumped away. But for a moment, Ma Chao returned the water bag. Jia Rong shook it and found that Ma Chao did not drink much. He smiled at Ma Chao.
Jia Rong has an extraordinary love for Ma Chao. It looks like treating his relatives, and Ma Chao also likes to stay by Jia Rong's side. Influenced by Jia Rong, he strictly stipulates himself in accordance with the requirements of the army, just like a soldier of the Xiliang Army. Although he doesn't know why he came to beg for water this time. Jia Rong also handed the water bag to Ma Chao without hesitation.
Xiliang Jinma Chao, everyone knows it in the Three Kingdoms. When he was young, he carried the hatred of killing his father. Cao Cao once threw away his helmet and abandoned his armor. However, because his personality was too irritable, he did not achieve great things in the end. He entered Shu as a general and died of depression. Some important deeds about Ma Chao emerged one by one. In my mind.
The cold wind at night blew Jia Rong's hair, and his hair floated gently with the night wind. For nearly a month, everyone's hair was messy and his clothes were not neat. From afar, it looked like a group of beggars. How far is it?" Jia Rong didn't know how many times this was asked.
Zhang Wu said breathlessly, "General, we can go out in 15 days at most." After saying that, a trace of fine light flashed in Zhang Wu's eyes, not only another surprise crossing the desert, but also Jia Rong's promise to him.
Jia Rong nodded slightly and comforted, "Thank you for your hard work. After getting out of the desert, I will definitely not forget your benefits."
Zhang Wu kept nodding in surprise, and his depressed spirit immediately rushed up under the stimulation of this sentence. His body was instantly full of fighting spirit. People died for money and birds died for food. Jia Rong promised enough to spend three lifetimes.
With the stimulation of money, Zhang Wu tried his best to do things. In the past, the team walked for one hour to determine the direction, and changed to the current two hours to determine three times. He was still happy. Zhang Wu's feelings for the desert love and hate. It was the desert that gave him a huge opportunity to make money, but he also took it away at any time. The danger of his life.
The trace sand a few nights ago is still fresh in my memory. More than a hundred soldiers disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving nothing. The strange scene was more frightening than the bloody battlefield. After the accident, Zhang Wu kept having nightmares for several nights.
The sky gradually became clear. Jia Rong, who was looking up in front of him, suddenly found that a sand pillar leading to the sky five miles away from the team was coming to the team. Jia Rong could even feel that the surrounding sand particles were constantly gathering in that direction. The momentum was huge, telling the running sand grains converging into a dark shadow, far away. Look, it's gloomy and horrible.
After the wind and sand converged, a large vortex was formed. From a distance, it looked like it came from the sky. Wherever it passed, whether it was sand dunes or sand grains were added to it one after another. It grew rapidly like a snowball. Looking at it from afar, people dared not look directly.
Jia Rong has no doubt that nothing will be left when this strange thing passes through the team.
Zhang Wu, who was beside him, was already surprised and couldn't close his mouth. He found that there were more ordeals along the way than the last time he crossed the desert.
"Is this God going to punish us?" Zhang Wu muttered softly that this was also the voice of many soldiers. In the ancient times of superstition, don't try to explain any scientific knowledge to them.
After the initial consterilment, Jia Rong quickly reacted, "It's not a punishment from heaven. It's a tornado, and there's no dime left where it passes." Jia Rong whispered.
Zhang Wu looked at Jia Rong doubtfully and said in a flustered tone, "General, order quickly, dragon... the tornado is coming soon."
Jia Rong clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth and said firmly, "The whole army obeys the order and runs to the sand dune quickly." Such a tornado is too large to escape.
No one wants to fight against such a monster. Everyone follows Jia Rong closely. After being together in the desert for so long, everyone is used to listening to Jia Rongyan. Even if Jia Rong asks them to rush in the direction of the tornado, they will not hesitate.
