Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 307

Four days later, Chen Buer and his "caravan" appeared outside Xingqing Prefecture.

This road is not very peaceful,
Fortunately, they are vendors of medicines that are in short supply in Xixia, so they were not embarrassed by the authorities along the way. Instead, they got a green light all the way, just like the tolls for agricultural products in later generations.

There was no "robbery" from the government, but along the way, it was robbed several times by bandits from the Xixia Kingdom, or ordinary people. Of course, the other party ended badly.

Along the way, Chen Buer also gradually understood why the Xixia Kingdom dared to attack Dazhou regardless of everything.

The impact of the drought is really too great. The four hundred miles from Qingyuan City to Xingqing Mansion are covered with gray areas along the way. No plants are seen, even the bark of the trees is gone.

Don't think about it, it must have been eaten by hungry people.

The starving people who died of starvation on the side of the road were not one or two, they were all in piles, and it seemed that the whole family died. Many times, Chai Zijin couldn't bear to watch.

But that's it, in the inns along the way, as long as you give money, there are all kinds of wine and meat, as if the drought and starvation outside have nothing to do with them.

The flat-headed brother of Xixia Kingdom is ruthless to foreign countries and even more ruthless to his own people. He doesn't even have any decent disaster relief activities.

Anyway, the person who died was a member of the party, and Chen Buer had no psychological pressure at all. Instead, he took out his camera from time to time and took pictures of all the roads, mountains and rivers along the road, including cities and military camps.

These are the first-hand information for drawing maps. In case of a full-scale war between Zhou and Xia, "Chen Didi" can provide the latest navigation information at any time.

When the majestic city wall of Xingqing Mansion appeared in front of everyone, there was no excitement as imagined. Instead, everyone yawned. Anyway, no matter how towering you are, can you surpass the towering city wall of Bianliang?

The self-confidence of Bianliang people makes any city look like a rural place.

Just by counting the city gates, there are 19 city gates in Bianliang Outer City, and only 6 in Xingqing Mansion.

Experts of later generations speculated that the total area of ​​Xingqing Mansion is only about 4 square kilometers, and the total population does not exceed 20, which is just a standard small town.

In fact, if Xixia Gouzi hadn't declared himself emperor, this Xingqing Mansion would be just a state capital of the Great Zhou, which is quite ordinary.

Chen Bu'er knew little about Xixia, and in his previous life he had only watched Yang Ma's documentary "Tombs of the Xixia King", and there were only a few earthen tombs in the desert.

Now a living Xixia Xingqing Mansion appeared in front of his eyes, and with the eyes of a tourist of later generations, he was ready to have fun for a few days.

What is stuffed with a pearl, what is an important town in the northwest, it is estimated that it will not exist for long, and it will be destroyed by a fire soon.

Entering the city, although there are quite a lot of pedestrians, the business atmosphere is not very lively. It is true that nomadic people are not good at selling light industrial products and handicrafts. The silk, porcelain and tea sold on the street are all imported from Dazhou.

Isn't the two countries at war now? Except for smuggling, formal trade between the two countries has been stopped.

This also led to a more depressed market, coupled with the impact of the drought, the common people had no money in their pockets, so even the children who peddled on the roadside were weak.

Since they came to Xingqing Mansion in the name of a caravan, the best way to avoid attracting the attention of the local government was to quickly find a medicine store to sell the goods, but Chen Buer and the others refused.

They deliberately drove the carriage, scurrying around the city like headless chickens, from the east to the west of the city, from the south to the north of the city, and they almost missed the Xixia Palace.

Even Ding Ada was a little strange, "Young Master Cui, Young Master Cui?"

The thin man touched Chen Buer lightly, and then Chen Buer came to his senses: "Ah, you called me."

There is no way, he hasn't realized it yet, thinking that Mr. Cui is someone else.

"Mr. Cui, where are we going? If you want to sell goods, shouldn't you go to the Medicine Street in the east of the city?"

"Oh, isn't this the first time I've come to Xingqing Mansion. I can just take a look around. Look at this exotic style, look at this little lady from the Northwest, she looks so handsome."

He looked like a second-generation ancestor.

Not to mention Chen Buer, Pan Mingguang, Zhu Lichen, and Du Zongzhe all acted in their true colors, showing their playfulness to the fullest. Even Chai Zijin blinked and stared at the Xixia women on the road endlessly.

Man, it’s hard to teach, but it’s really quick to get spoiled.

In fact, it wasn't that Chen Buer and the others were just wandering around, but that they had a preliminary impression of the city. Fat and thin and the 22 Huang brothers had already divided up their labor and cooperated to conduct a simple reconnaissance of all the key buildings in the city.

Later, careful reconnaissance and screening will be required to prepare for the next big explosion in the city.

At the same time, Colonel Lu Zhi, as the main general, began to order the troops to move slowly back and forth to the northern border, seemingly looking for the Xixia army everywhere, but in fact the troops have never been far away from the Hulu River.

Groups of troops have already entered the Shaniuling mountainous area without anyone noticing.

Xiao Xiao Lu also started to bet that his grandson would really turn the Xingqing Mansion into darkness, and that the Xixia Army would have to withdraw to defend the capital.

His strategy is very simple. He ordered the Dingyuan Army in the east and the Huairong Army in the west to guard their respective passes leading to Xixia, and must drive the Xixia returning troops to Huluhe and Xiaoguan.

In the end, the remaining [-] cavalry remained on Qinfeng Road as a mobile force to confuse the Xixia Army, making them think that the Zhou Army was still wandering around in the Northwest.

The remaining 20 infantry, all occupying the favorable terrain on the mountains on both sides of the valley, began to quickly build rolling stones and giant trees, so as to be condescending and keep all the Xixia army in the Hulu River Valley.

The lieutenants in the army could also see the strategic intention of the head coach Lu Zhiyuan. Many people thought it was too risky to do so. If the Xixia army didn't pass through Xiaoguan, wouldn't it be a waste of work?
But soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty, so everyone can only take one step at a time.

The main reason is that everyone is very anxious. It’s been a month since they came out, and they know where the enemy is, but they can’t eliminate it, and they can’t even fight a quick battle. This makes everyone very depressed, and they are all angry .

Zhou Jun's turtle-speed marching route made it inexplicable that both the Xixia coach and the Baotai army commander did not hide their mistakes, but he didn't care.

His strategy is also very simple, since you are wandering in the north, then I will avoid you, so Xixia soldiers gradually headed east to Weizhou.

Qinfeng Road, the farther to the east, the closer to the Central Plains, the richer it is, and the higher the benefit of robbery.

He didn't hide Pang, but he felt a little complacent, thinking that Zhou Jun was so stupid that he vacated the East Road, which created opportunities for the Xixia people.

Of course, there is no hidden pang, and they dare not let the Xixia army leave the border too far. By then, they will really hit the hinterland of Dazhou. If they are made dumplings, they will all be over.
