"The weather is hot, Da Sima, please drink some water!"
"Well, how are the soldiers? Have you found the water source?"
"The men and horses are exhausted and are resting under the cliff. We have sent people to find water sources, but there are stone mountains nearby - alas!"
¡¡¡¡
Xiao Yi was leaning against the stone wall, his clothes were in rags, and there were big holes in the tips of his boots. He was worse than a beggar. Xiao Hei's face was haggard, his upper and lower lips were dry and cracked, and he was holding a large bowl of water in his hand - It's turbid and has a pungent earthy smell!
Normally, livestock would not want to drink such sewage, but now it is more precious than gold. Xiao Yi took a few mouthfuls and handed it to the 'cabbage' next to him. The latter stuck out his big tongue and sucked it, and kept sucking it. Make a neighing sound of grievance!
When he was in the Wuchou Mansion, Baicai lived in a spacious and elegant room, ate fine grain feed, drank sweet mountain spring water, and had hundreds of beautiful concubines When did he suffer so much? My body lost more than ten kilograms due to fatigue, and I looked like a dirty mud monkey.
It has been eighteen days since the army set out, and it has penetrated 360 miles into the Ziwu Valley. It advances an average of twenty miles per day, which is far below the target. The soldiers are still extremely tired and trapped in the dilemma of lack of water and food.
The geographical environment of Ziwu Valley is really weird. Although the first half of the journey is difficult and dangerous, it is full of high mountains and dense forests, with rivers flowing through it. There are also several heavy rainstorms, so the soldiers have no shortage of water sources and do not suffer from exposure to the sun!
The second half of the journey was even more difficult and difficult. There was no river along the way. I found a few small springs occasionally. Even if I scooped out all the muddy soup, it was not enough for 18,000 people and horses to drink!
If you want to dig for water, there are stone mountains everywhere - the vegetation is sparse and the soil is hard. The soldiers spent a lot of effort to dig down to a depth of five or six feet, but there is no trace of groundwater. Coal mines, gold mines, iron mines, etc. The mine has been found in several places, so what¡¯s the use?
God was also sincere in his opposition. Not to mention the rain, there was not even a single dark cloud. The sun was shining brightly for seven or eight days. The soldiers had no water to drink and no shade to hide from. They had to climb mountains and ridges and build plank roads. They suffered from heat stroke. Countless people fell to the ground
Food was also a big problem. We originally planned to travel thirty miles a day and leave Ziwu Valley in twenty-two days. We also prepared corresponding dry food, including thirty kilograms of fried noodles and two large pot helmets per person. This was also the limit of carrying. We would bring more. Not only will it affect the march, the dry food will also deteriorate and become inedible.
But the journey was too hard. The soldiers were physically exhausted, and their food needs also increased sharply. Although they hunted wild animals and picked wild fruits along the way to replenish some, the rest was only enough for seven or eight days!
But judging from the current situation, let alone seven or eight days, even seventeen or eighteen days may not be able to get out of the Ziwu Valley. The situation will be even worse later. Wild beasts and wild fruits will be harder to find. Once they fall into a desperate situation of no food, , the consequences would be disastrous!
"I would like to report to Lord Sima, the soldiers have searched the surrounding mountains and streams, but there is no water source. They are already too thirsty to walk!"
"Lack of water, lack of food, and exhaustion at the same time, if the troops continue to move forward, the future will be unpredictable!"
"Please, Grand Sima, think twice, it's still too late to turn back now!"
Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, the Four Beasts of Hell, and a dozen generals came over. They all looked disgraced and exhausted. Then they knelt down on one knee and spoke with profound meaning!
They are all Xiao Yi¡¯s old troops. They have followed the Southern and Northern expeditions for many years. They have fought countless deadly battles, tough battles, and bloody battles. They have never retreated even half a step. But in this situation, everyone really can¡¯t hold on any longer!
During this march, we encountered rolling stones, heavy rain, poisonous snakes, ferocious beasts, and diseases Not to mention the hardships and hardships the soldiers endured, more than a thousand people were killed or injured alone, and all the horses accompanying them were also damaged. Now there is a shortage of food, grass, water, and medicinal materials. How to walk three hundred miles?
"Brothers, please get up. We need to think carefully about this situation!"
"No, thank you so much, Grand Sima, for your consideration of the soldiers!"
"Xiao Yi is not a person who will never look back, and he will not sacrifice the lives of his subordinates for the sake of face, but he gives up halfway. He is really unwilling to do so!
The Golden Eagle brought news: The war situation for all parties was very unfavorable. The Hanzhong army was unable to hold on in high ditches and deep fortresses. Several attacks led by Gao Shun and Daniu failed, and many soldiers were lost. There was no way to lure the enemy. success!
Only Ma Liu has made some progress. After leading his troops across Qishan, he unexpectedly captured Wudu and Jianwei. Now he is attacking Baima Pass, but he has encountered fierce resistance from the enemy and will be difficult to conquer in the short term!
It is difficult to win on a frontal battlefield. If you want to quickly pacify Hanzhong, you can only have a surprise force come out of Ziwu Valley and steal the enemy.Nanzheng City has a solution. If he retreats midway, the war situation will continue to be stalemate, which is very disadvantageous.
Cao Cao was suffering from old illness, and he might have traveled to the west that day. The people in the court would be in chaos, and there might be violent turmoil. Liu Bei was eyeing it, and he was also plotting Yizhou, and sent envoys to Chengdu several times Time is not on his side. !
"But the army is trapped in the Ziwu Valley, lacking food and water it is on the verge of collapse. If it continues to march forcefully, in the end either the entire army will be destroyed, or a mutiny will occur
At this point, Xiao Yi has also run out of tricks and wisdom. Since the manpower has been exhausted, let's just leave it to fate - divination!
Taoism has three skills: chanting curses to catch ghosts, drawing talismans to make elixirs, and divination of good and bad luck. The veteran Taoist master Chuchenzi is a master among them. He is proficient in yarrow, copper coins, horoscopes, and plum blossoms. It is also quite effective. I have thought about it many times. Teach Xiao Yi this skill!
"It's a pity that Xiao Yi has been in the mountains for several years, obsessed with boxing and kicking martial arts, horse arching, horse riding and shooting. He didn't even memorize a few Taoist classics, let alone three esoteric skills. As a result, he only learned a little bit!
If you tell others' fortunes, nine out of ten times it will not work. If you tell yourself, it will not work ten times out of ten. Therefore, in the more than twenty years since he came out of the mountain, Xiao Yi has never fortune-telling, but he often pretends to be a ghost. Do!
Now I really have no choice but to bite the bullet and do a divination to see what God¡¯s indication is. Should I continue walking or should I turn around and go back?
"The army is marching south and is trapped in the mountains. There is a lack of food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. Please protect me from the ancestors of the Chunyang sect and show your disciples a way out!"
"Humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature - Kai Gua!"
Xiao Yi sat cross-legged, calmed down his heart, and silently prayed to the ancestors. Then he took out six copper coins, shook them a few times and threw them on the ground. After reading them, he couldn't help but be shocked
I saw only six copper coins, all with the yang side facing up. This kind of hexagram is very rare. It is one of the sixty-four money hexagrams of King Wen - 'Qian is the hexagram of heaven, trapped dragon will get water! ¡¯
There is a poem that says: Longyou, on the shallow water and idle beach, was once played by shrimps in the world.
The thunder and storm have arrived, and everything is safe!
Judging from the hexagrams, this means turning misfortune into good luck and bringing good luck in times of adversity. It is a good hexagram, which is consistent with the situation at hand. The army trapped in Ziwu Valley is like a dragon trapped on the beach. If If there's a thunderstorm, we can get out of trouble!
The auspicious hexagram is good, but it doesn't say how to get out of trouble. You can't just sit in the valley and wait for God to rain. Even if the hexagram is really effective and there is a timely rain, you can't give food, right?
Xiao Yi deduced it several times, and only came up with the instruction of "earth generates metal, metal generates water". The rest is still unclear. It's not that this hexagram is difficult, it's just that the little Taoist priest is not good at learning.
"Hey, what did you do when you slept in all day? If you don't learn some real skills, will you be blind this time?"
"Soil generates gold, and metal generates water. What is this omen? Where will I go to get 'gold'?"
Xiao Yi rubbed his little black face and fell into deep regret. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that if he could get out of trouble this time, he would study Taoist classics and learn the skills of divination, talismans, and alchemy!
Between the dilemma, Deng Ai, Sun Shao, and Xiao Xuan brothers came over. One by one, there seemed to be something happy, and there were a lot of things in my hand
"For the record, Father: We found another mass grave and dug out these things, including copper axes, copper hammers, copper pendants as well as copper ink cartridges and copper pendants!"
"There are not many corpses buried this time. There are only a few thousand bones. They are probably some skilled craftsmen!"
¡¡¡¡
Teenagers are all curious and like to discover new things, especially looking for legendary treasures. Ever since the mass graves were dug in Snake Valley, these children have become addicted!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Always taking advantage of the breaks to dig and search everywhere, with surprising energy. Even hunger, thirst and exhaustion couldn't stop them.
"Where are the mass graves? Take my father over to have a look. Dian Wei and Huang Xu will accompany them with twenty personal soldiers. The rest of them will rest where they are. As for whether to advance or retreat, we will wait until I, the Great Sima, come back!"
"No!"
After seeing the children¡¯s trophies, Xiao Yi became more curious and decided to take a look in person. Maybe he would make new discoveries!
Logically speaking, with the rise of the iron smelting industry at the end of the Warring States Period, people began to use iron weapons and tools. Why are all the bronze tools unearthed in the new mass graves?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The hexagram shows: Earth generates gold, and metal generates water. From Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qin and Han Dynasties, people called copper "gold" and used it as the main currency. Is this a sign of getting out of trouble?
