Chapter 392 The Fairy in White
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were close to each other as brothers, and he treated Sun Quan like his brothers, caring for him meticulously. Now Zhou Yu not only built a new mansion next to his house, allowing Mrs. Sun and his family to live in. He often greeted him and treated Mrs. Sun as his mother, but he also asked someone to take Da Qiao and his son from Qiaozhuang to Sun's house, and sent someone to serve him carefully, recognize Sun Ce's son Sun Shao as his adopted son, and treat him as his own son like Zhou Xun.
All of these made Sun Quan's heart slowly move and change, and his domineering heart was gradually worn away by warmth and trust.
Zhou Yu's proposal is reasonable and not overstated. After fully considering the interests of the Yuzhou army, he still respects himself so much and negotiates with him. Even though Sun Quan was determined to object, he could not give any reason to object.
After the two discussed, Sun Quan walked out of the house and saw scattered snowflakes falling from the sky, and his eyes dimmed. Sun Quan thought to himself: "Sun Quan, Sun Quan, since he made the decision to join Jiangdong that day, he should have thought that this would end in the end... He could not become a hegemon on his own. Is it good to be able to assist Ming Gong in achieving the great cause of dominating the world..."
Linwu City was built according to the mountain. Because it guarded the important transportation route from Qujiang to Chen County, its strategic location was very important. After Liu Pan and Huang Zhong led their troops to capture Qujiang, they immediately advanced to Linwu. However, Taishi Ci sent troops quickly and entered the city first and strengthened the city defense. Liu Pan led his troops to attack for three days, but no one soldier could climb to the top of the city.
The soldiers of Taishi Ci's Xinyi Camp were originally all the old subordinates under Liu Yaomi whom he had gathered, and they were all regular troops. After the Battle of Guiyang and subsequent rectification and training, Taishi Ci built the Xinyi Camp into a unit with strict military discipline and strong combat effectiveness. Although there were only 12,000 people, which was much smaller than Liu Pan's 30,000 people, if they were in a formation to confront Liu Pan's army, the outcome was still between the two.
In Linwu City, many young and strong people recruited were busy, constantly carrying arrows, rolling wood, stones, and even boiling hot water to the city wall. The Jingzhou Army's new attack had just ended, and they had to quickly send military funds to the defenders on the city wall to cope with the next round of attacks by the enemy.
On the city wall, seeing that the Jingzhou army that had just attacked the city retreated like a tide, Taishi Ci stood on the city tower with his sword and ordered the soldiers of the first battalion who had just undertaken the defensive tasks to go down and rest, and to transfer the rest soldiers of another battalion to come up to defend.
The small Linwu County is only five miles in circumference, and there are 3,000 people going to the city to defend. Taishi Ci then left one regiment as a reserve army in the Xinyi Camp for four regiments, leaving one regiment as a reserve army, and the other three regiments took turns to defend. First, the soldiers could get timely rest. Every time they counterattack the Jingzhou Army, they were energetic soldiers, and second, they could quickly treat the wounded, reduce the number of casualties, and boost morale. When a soldier knew that he was injured, he could receive timely treatment, and the confidence and courage during combat would increase a lot, and the damage to the enemy would naturally be much greater.
The defenders on the city wall walked down one after another. The ones walking in front were soldiers carrying wounded soldiers. On a stretcher made of branches and vines and straw, the injured soldiers in the battle just now looked ahead with anticipation. Not far from the city wall, there was a simple house with a white flag hanging at the door, embroidered on it with a pattern composed of three green oval leaves, which was the logo designed by Zhou Yu himself for the female barracks.
Part of the female barracks participated in the treatment of the wounded soldiers. Deng Yu was pregnant and after giving birth, he took peace of mind to raise his young son at home. The commander of the female barracks was changed to Deng Chan. Before Taishici sent troops, Deng Chan took the initiative to propose that in order to promptly treat the wounded, some personnel should be sent by the female barracks to follow the army, and insufficient personnel could be recruited locally.
Zhou Yu felt that Deng Chan's advice was very good, but he felt that long-distance marching would make the soldiers of the female barracks very hard. If the weather was not suitable for the local conditions and fighting on the battlefield would bring them life-threatening dangers, and he felt a little unbearable. Zhou Yu told Taishi Ci to take good care of these good girls and try to create better accommodation, food and marching conditions for them.
As soon as the wounded soldiers were lifted into the house, a young woman in white clothes and thin figure came up. She commanded the soldiers very skillfully to place the stretcher in the designated place, and arranged for female soldiers holding wooden basins, cotton cloth and bleeding-stopping drugs to treat them. For a moment, the house began to be busy again. The female soldiers in white clothes came in and out, carefully cleaning the wounds and bandaging the wounds, and comforted them from time to time, using the unique tenderness of women to comfort the hearts of the wounded soldiers.
This person is the female barrack commander sent by Deng Chan, named Zhu Hong. Zhu Hong was originally from Donglai, Qingzhou and was a fellow villager with Taishici. Because of the local Yellow Turban Army, her father and brother were wrapped in the Yellow Turban Army team, and her life and death were unknown. Her mother waited at home and shed tears every night. She finally became seriously ill. They had no money to treat her, so they could only watch her mother leave, leaving her and her eight-year-old brother.
At that time, locust plagues were raging, and nothing was gained in the fields. In desperation, Zhu Hong had to take her young brother and go south with the elderly in the village to find a place to live. They begged all the way to Jiangnan. When the war between Zhou Yu and Liu Yao was over, the government drew a large number of ownerless wastelands and recruited refugees to farm. Zhu Hong joined the military farming team with the villagers, but she was a woman, weak and weak, so she had no strength to farm the fields.
One day when Zhu Hong entered the city, she happened to see the female barracks recruiting female soldiers. She saw the female barracks riding on horseback, dressed brightly and heroically. Zhu Hong's hearts were thrilling. She joined the female barracks without hesitation and fostered her younger brother at a relative's home. With Zhu Hong's military pay, she only needed to take out a small part to satisfy her younger brother's entire living expenses immediately. In this way, she also slowly saved some money and prepared to purchase some items as her dowry when she got married in two years.
After receiving the order from Deng Chan, Zhu Hong led his fifty people to Guiyang with Taishi Ci. The medicines he carried along the way played a great role, and hundreds of soldiers who drank the unclean water on the way were treated in time.
After entering Guiyang, Zhu Hong felt that the number of 50 people serving 12,000 people was too small, so she agreed with Taishici to recruit another 50 female soldiers in Chen County and temporarily hired several local doctors to train everyone on drug use knowledge.
Although the female barracks have a small number of people, they play a very important role in stabilizing the morale of the army. Now, Taishici feels that his troops are no longer free from them. They are wearing white clothes when treating the wounded, and in the hearts of the wounded, they are as graceful as fairies in white clothes.
I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
