Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 350 Xiangkang Fresh Soup

"The little girl picking mushrooms, carrying a big bamboo basket, walks through the woods and hills with her bare feet in the morning..."

As we all know, summer is a good season for mushroom production, especially after thunderstorms, you can see all kinds of vigorously growing mushrooms almost everywhere in the woods, grass and fields, with different sizes and shapes, and the small ones can be as small as The nail cap is as big as a foot, like a small umbrella, and colorful, blue, yellow, red, white, gray, orange, and brown. There are all kinds of flowers and flowers. Many types of mushrooms are quite colorful. Comparable to flowers.

But that’s not enough. The real experts in mushroom picking still like the sunny weather after thunderstorm in summer, and the temperature suddenly rises in a straight line. At that time, there are really many kinds of mushrooms in the mountains, forests and fields, densely packed. The clumps are almost comparable to the stars in the sky. If you take a random trip in the mountains or grass, you can easily pick a large basket full of mushrooms and bring them home to cook a pot of fresh soup for the whole family to enjoy. ——Of course, you have to pick mushrooms that are not poisonous.

The soldiers of the Han army who went out of the camp overnight to the west caught up with such a good time. After a thunderstorm in the middle of the night, when it was dawn, it suddenly became clear and sunny. In the woods, grass, hillsides, fields, and even tree trunks and piles of rocks in the Puyang area, you can see all kinds of new mushrooms, which are so tender that it is impossible to count the number.

Not to mention, because of the destruction caused by the war and a large number of fields being abandoned, at this time even the original farmland has grown all kinds of mushrooms, large and small, of all kinds.

It was also at this time that the five hundred commanders of the Han army who led the team westward last night announced to their own soldiers the task of going out of the camp this time-to pick mushrooms!

"It turned out that we were asked to pick mushrooms (mushrooms)." After suddenly realizing it, the soldiers of the Han army, almost all of whom were from peasant families, immediately cheered, and many people rushed to say: "I will collect mushrooms." I am the best at it, whether it is poisonous or not, I can tell at a glance."

"Don't worry, general, I have been picking mushrooms since I can remember, and I will never pick a single poisonous fungus. Take it home and make sure you can eat it with confidence."

"There are mushrooms (mushrooms)! Look, there are a lot of mushrooms there, pick them up and present them to our king!"

"A bunch of idiots! Listen to me!" The leader of the Han army, the five hundred commanders, quickly interrupted and roared, "Listen, today we are not here to pick edible fungi, but poisonous fungi! I don’t want to eat any fungus, and pick those poisonous fungi for me! The more the better! After the wooden urn and bamboo basket are full, they must be covered with cloth, and they cannot be dried in the sun!”

"Specially harvesting poisonous mushrooms?!" The soldiers of the Han army were in an uproar, and they had never heard of such a strange thing. Specially harvesting poisonous mushrooms?

"General, are you kidding me? You specialize in picking poisonous mushrooms?" A Han soldier picked up a roadside mushroom and said to the leader of the Han army, "General, do you know that This colic enterobacterium (cholera antler) can kill a person by eating just one flower, and there is no antidote.”

"Stop talking nonsense! When I started picking fungus, you hadn't been born yet, so don't I know how poisonous the fungus is?"

The [-]th commander of the Han army interrupted rudely, and shouted again: "Don't be wordy, start right away, and pick poisonous mushrooms for me! The more the better, our king will reward you when you go back! The more you pick, the more rewards you will have." More! But remember, keep your mouth shut when you go back, no one is allowed to say what we did here, whoever dares to leak the slightest bit of information, be careful! Do it! Collect!"

The military order is like a mountain, under the desperation, no matter how utterly puzzled, the soldiers of the Han army can only get out of the way obediently, go into the grass and forests to look for mushrooms everywhere, and pick the poisonous mushrooms with bright colors and thick juices , and this kind of situation did not only happen to this team of 500 Han troops. The ten teams of [-] Han troops scattered in the Baima area of ​​Puyang were all picking poisonous mushrooms.The cheerful singing resounded through the land of Puyang far to the west of the Han army camp...

"The leader who picks mushrooms, carrying a big bamboo basket, walks through the woods and hills with bare feet in the morning. He picks the most mushrooms, as many as there are countless stars in the sky that day. The mushrooms he picks are the most poisonous, poisonous. No one dares to eat it, hehe!"

…………

At the same time, under the personal leadership of General Guan Ying of the Han Army, the cavalry of the Han Army once again intensified their efforts in scouting. Seeing the scouts of the Western Chu army leave the camp, they immediately rushed up to greet them with sabers. Most of the scouts of the Western Chu army did not dare to fight, but hurriedly patted their horses and ran away. To deal with a Western Chu Army scout team composed of ten cavalrymen, one or two hundred cavalry troops will be used to encircle the Western Chu Army scouts on all sides. He was forced to go back to the camp, and refused to let the scouts of the Western Chu Army expand the scope of reconnaissance.

The combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Western Chu Army is actually not bad. Even if they lose their weapons immediately, as long as they dismount and fight on foot, they are absolutely no problem against the Han cavalry of the same strength. However, it is useless. The number of Han cavalry is too much. If the 20-man team can't kill the cavalry of the Western Chu Army, two or three, or even four or five or even more will come immediately. Even if it is piled up, the scouts of the Western Chu Army will be piled up to death. The scouts of the Western Chu Army who had suffered a lot could only run for their lives as much as possible, and were constantly compressed by the cavalry of the Han Army. After a whole morning, the scouts of the Western Chu Army could not only go ten miles away to detect the enemy, but they were able to rush out of the camp. There were very few sentinels at a distance of five miles, and the number of casualties rose again because of this.

The situation was reported to Cao Jiu, the acting commander of the Western Chu Army. Cao Jiu still believed that the Han cavalry was deliberately provoking, and wanted to provoke him to lure him to fight. Continue to send scouts out of the camp to detect the enemy's situation, so as to reduce unnecessary scout losses.

Because of this, the scouts of the Western Chu Army failed to find out another important situation of the Han army-on this day, the Han army dispatched more troops and vehicles to the surrounding area to cut down timber and transport it back to the camp, let alone to find out the situation of the Han army. It turns out that in the back camp of the Han army, there are still countless Han army officers and soldiers who are helping the craftsmen and technicians of the Han army to make various offensive weapons. From the rain stopped last night until early morning, and then from early morning until evening, there was nothing wrong with them. pause.

When night came, seeing that the weather was fine and the moon was as bright as day, it was obvious that the next day would be sunny again. Li Zuoche, as a guest minister, wanted to repay the kindness of the Western Chu Army for allowing him to eat and drink in their army. He took the initiative to find Cao Jiu, like Kuai Che did last night, and persuaded Cao Jiu to send scouts to ambush in the distance overnight, so that he could directly detect the enemy's movement of the Han army the next day, and repeatedly pointed out to Cao Jiu that the Han army had cavalry. Such frenzied strangling of the scouts of the Western Chu army must have had other plans. Only by figuring out the intentions of the Han army as soon as possible can the Western Chu army be prepared in advance to avoid being caught off guard by the Han army.

Unfortunately, Cao Jiu had never seen Li Zuoche before, and he insisted that the Han cavalry was only deliberately provoking him to fight, and he was too lazy to arrange for the scouts to leave the camp at night, and he was also worried that the scouts would be discovered by the Han cavalry after they left the camp. , causing the self-army to lose more cavalry, still refused to obey, and planned to wait a few more days before talking.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Li Zuoche, who had neither real power nor status, had no choice but to leave in disappointment. As a result, Li Zuoche happened to meet Kuai Che again when he was leaving the account. Kuai Che asked him about his advice to Cao Jiu, and Li Zuoche Zuo Che didn't answer, but just shook his head helplessly. Kuaiche was even more helpless when he saw it, and changed his words to comfort him: "Thanks to Mr. Guangwu for giving up, let's forget it if you can't listen to it. Fortunately, our Da Sima always remembers the king. As long as he can do this, no matter how many tricks the traitors play, we can still adapt to all changes."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Li Zuoche murmured in his heart, and always had a premonition that the strange behavior of the Han army cavalry was not so simple.Then, Li Zuoche remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Doctor Kuai, it's hot in summer, there is too much water in the military camp, and the wells in our camp are not enough. If the Han bandits suddenly cut off our water source, we can only I'm afraid it will bring us some trouble. The foreign minister believes that to plan for a rainy day, we should take advantage of the opportunity that the Han bandits are still preparing weapons to attack fortified areas, and dig more wells in the barracks as soon as possible, just in case."

Kuai Che thought it was the same, so he thanked Li Zuoche for his reminder. After entering the account, he saw Cao Jiu, and he quickly mentioned this matter to Cao Jiu. As a result, Cao Jiu was not vague about this matter, and he immediately took the matter to Cao Jiu. Nodding his head, he agreed, but it was getting late, Cao Jiu didn't send people to work overnight, he just decided to send people to dig a new well the next day.

…………

In fact, there is still hope for the Western Chu Army. If Li Zuoche and Kuai Che continue to insist on persuading Cao Jiu to send scouts out of the camp overnight, and Cao Jiu has also arranged this way, then in the middle of the night, the Western Chu Army's scouts who went out of the camp overnight to lurk, maybe Some important things can be found.

It was three o'clock in the night, and the east gate of the Han army camp was suddenly and quietly opened. Without torches, two thousand Han army soldiers quietly pushed human carts full of wooden urns out of the camp, all relying on the moonlight to illuminate them. , quickly assembled into a team, and under the cover of night, they rushed to the water diversion of the guard camp trench in the northwest of the Western Chu Army overnight. The loud noise alarmed the enemies who might be lurking in the wild.

The bright moonlight helped the generals of the Han army a lot. Although the path leading to the water diversion of the West Chu Army was narrow and difficult, the Han army team successfully reached the downstream of the water diversion of the West Chu Army around the first quarter of the fourth watch. Next to the trench section, after basically confirming that there is no one around, these Han army soldiers hurriedly moved the wooden urn from the human cart, and carried it to the trench of the Western Chu army guard camp with a flow comparable to that of ordinary rivers. The chopped or minced mushrooms in the urn were poured into the trench, and the dumping was spread as much as possible to avoid excessive accumulation and attract the attention of others. Fortunately, the trench dug by the Western Chu Army was as deep as half a foot, and after the chopped mushrooms were scattered and sprinkled, Sure enough, it didn't accumulate too much in the trench.

One urn after another, the crushed mushrooms were poured into the trench, and quickly floated or sank to the bottom. The mushroom juice oozing out after being broken also quickly mixed with the flowing river water in the trench, and then, driven by the current, slowly flowed downstream. Silently and gradually surrounded the Xichu army camp on three sides, but even so, the water quality in the trench remained unchanged, and there was no difference from usual.

At five o'clock, according to the army's custom, the leaders of each battalion of the Western Chu Army got up and started cooking. , but unavoidably, in order to save labor or time, of course the cook gave priority to using up the water stored yesterday, and he was not busy going to the well to replenish it. Almost consumed.

When the time of Mao was approaching, like the previous three days, the Han army dispatched half of the cavalry out of the camp as usual. The upper and lower levels have become accustomed to this, and don't bother to pay attention to it at all. Some Western Chu army units that have run out of water, still carry buckets out of the camp with the tacit consent of the generals, and return to the camp by the side of the guard trench where the water is still clear. Under Cao Jiu's order, the soldiers of the Western Chu Army also began to dig wells in suitable places in the camp, so as to prevent the Han army from suddenly blocking the water intake of the Western Chu Army's guard camp and cutting off the water source of the Western Chu Army.

Time passed quickly, and the sky was already bright in a blink of an eye, and then it was the same as the moonlight omen last night. Today is indeed a fine weather with no clouds in the sky. The sun is shining, and the temperature in Puyang is rising rapidly. The water consumption figure in the camp has also risen in a straight line. In order to be lazy, more soldiers of the Western Chu Army went out of the camp with buckets and went to the trench outside the camp to draw water back to the camp. Because it has always been like this, from beginning to end Not even a general of the Western Chu Army stood up to stop him, and even the resourceful Kuai Che and Li Zuoche didn't find anything wrong.

As time went by, the sun rose higher and higher, and the weather became hotter and hotter. Correspondingly, more and more soldiers of the Western Chu Army went to the trenches outside the camp to draw water, especially when it was approaching noon, because The sun was scorching like fire, and the wells were not enough for use. Naturally, there were more soldiers of the Western Chu army who drank a lot of running water in the trenches.

During this period, some soldiers of the Western Chu Army also began to suffer from abdominal pain or diarrhea, but because the number was not large, the generals of the Western Chu Army did not report this situation. Cao Jiu, who was in the camp of the Chinese Army, et al. have always been ignorant of this.

Just after noon, there was a sudden change. Along with the horns, teams of Han soldiers suddenly sang loud military songs and strode out of the camp. Due to the fact that there was too much movement in the army, although the scope of activities of the scouts of the Western Chu Army was still very compressed, they immediately discovered this situation at the first time, and hurried back to the camp to report the situation to Cao Jiu.

"Have the Han bandits sent troops?" Cao Jiu was extremely surprised, and said, "According to the time, the Han bandits don't have enough weapons to attack the fortifications, so they shouldn't be mobilizing today? Could it be that they sent troops to fight?"

"Big Sima, just to be cautious, let's prepare for the battle quickly." Kuai Che suggested: "Make sufficient preparations first, so that even if the Han thieves really launch an attack, we can easily deal with it."

Cao Jiu listened to Kuai Che's suggestion again and immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for battle. As a result, when the Western Chu army was busy preparing for the battle, in order to have enough drinking water in the hot weather, of course more soldiers were sent out with buckets. Before the arrival of the Han army, grab water and return to the camp, so that it can be drunk during the war.

Cao Jiu was very glad that he listened to Kuai Che's advice, because after a while, the scouts sent an urgent report, saying that they had seen Xiang Kang's banner walk out of the Han army's camp, but the Han army was still there. After leaving the camp continuously, at the same time, he saw trench bridge vehicles and flying ladders and other attacking equipment in the Han army. It was obvious that they were preparing to launch a large-scale attack on the Western Chu army camp. The battalions of the Chu army stepped up their combat preparations to prepare for this super-large-scale offensive and defensive battle of the camp. Judging from the time when the Han army dispatched troops, it was likely to start a night battle. Xiang Yu entrusted the army to him with perfect eyesight.

At the same time, because the time was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, it was the hottest time of the day, and there was a large amount of dry food to be produced in a hurry. Because of the slow water intake from the wells in the camp, most of these Western Chu soldiers drank the flowing water in the trenches outside the camp.

The Han army dispatched troops this time very calmly. They started to leave the camp at Weishi, and did not complete their assembly until about [-]:[-]. The scale of the army's dispatch this time has reached an astonishing [-], and Zheng Bu, Ding Ji, Long Qi, Zhongli Mei and other famous generals of the Han army also participated in the battle. It is obvious that they are determined to win the Western Chu army camp.

Halfway through Shen time, the [-] Han troops arrived outside the south gate of the Western Chu Army's camp, and calmly lined up. Xiang Kang also set up his command flag formation on the high ground outside the camp, and according to the usual practice, Xiang Kang First, he sent an envoy with a white flag in his hand, rode his horse to the gate of the Western Chu army's camp, and loudly invited the Western Chu army to come out for a decisive battle. When the news was reported to Cao Jiu, Cao Jiu of course laughed and said, "Tell the Han bandits Messenger, I am not interested in a decisive battle, but if I want to attack the camp, just let the horse come over, and I will accompany you to the end!"

The messenger left according to the order, and Cao Jiu then turned to Gong Ao, Huan Chu and the others beside him, and said with a relaxed expression, "The one who should come has finally come, and this time, it is finally our turn to rely on the advantage of the camp to deal with the traitors." There is an army of thieves, and this commander wants to see what attack methods Xiang Kang's rebels have."

Gong Ao, Huan Chu and the others nodded one after another, all of them were confident in defending their camp, but at this moment, Xiang Han, who had gone to the fast camp before, suddenly rushed back to Cao Jiu's flag formation, shouting at Cao Jiu Said: "Da Sima, something has happened. Many of our soldiers were vomiting and diarrhea, and their abdominal pain was unbearable. They were spinning around and couldn't stand still. Many people passed out for no reason!"

"What?" Cao Jiu almost suspected that his ears had misheard, and hurriedly asked, "Which army has this situation happened?"

"It's more than one army, it's everywhere!" Xiang Han replied nervously: "At first I thought it was just one army, but after asking carefully, I found out that this happened in most of our armies. !"

Cao Jiu stood up suddenly, and his face immediately turned livid, Gong Ao, Huan Chu and other generals of the Western Chu Army also turned black, and immediately understood that this matter was absolutely extraordinary, and it was absolutely extraordinary!Kuai Che and Li Zuoche looked at each other, and thought together: "It's broken, we may have fallen into the trap!"
