Chapter 493 Identifying Medicine
Enter Liu Baizhong's tent and quickly take out the map.
Chen Changan looked at the scout, meaning to ask about the origins of this group of enemies.
The scout quickly clasped his fists and said, "We don't know where they came from, but based on the scouts' clothing, we can guess that this group of people may be heading to Yanmen Pass for reinforcement, or to a nearby tribe."
Chen Changan smiled: "How do you know?"
"Because if they were the troops at Yanmen Pass, they would be wearing leather boots, but the shoes on these people's feet are all kinds of different, obviously they haven't reached Yanmen Pass yet."
The scout said confidently, "And we attacked the enemy's tribe a few days ago. I think the news reached the Xixia people. The Xixia people used goshawks to send messages, which is much faster than us."
“They should have given instructions to let people from neighboring tribes investigate.”
Chen Changan nodded to the scout, who was worthy of being a scout.
The scout was encouraged and said, "Master Chen, although we haven't found out exactly how many people there are, according to the custom that each bonfire can provide meals for a hundred people, we found more than fifty bonfires in the corners of the camp."
"This further proves that..."
"This further proves that this enemy is not from Yanmen Pass, but is nearby." Chen Changan interrupted him.
"Yes."
"That's difficult to do." Old Ma gritted his teeth and said, "From the number of bonfires, there are at least 5,000 people. Although our soldiers are good at fighting, the number of people is still too small. Master, what should we do?"
Chen Changan said nothing, but just kept filling his stomach.
Finally, Chen Changan sighed and looked at Liu Baizhong: "Brother Liu, what is the Xixia tribe like?"
"Nothing special, just like the villages in our Chu State." Liu Baizhong nodded and said, "They implement a draft system. Every year when it's time to fight, they recruit soldiers from various tribes to fight."
"When we return from the battle, we will give out ten cows for those killed, five cows for those wounded, and two cows for those who were neither dead nor wounded."
Liu Baizhong despised the rewards from the Xixia people, but the Xixia people liked cattle and sheep.
"That's it. Can our Chu country's villages mobilize more than 5,000 strong men?"
Chen Changan asked back, and Liu Baizhong shook his head: "If we want to mobilize so many people, it will have to be a big village or a town."
"If there is a village like this, which can produce more than 5,000 people at once, why wouldn't they recruit them at the beginning of the battle?"
Liu Baizhong immediately understood: "Master Chen, what you mean is... they are not from the same tribe? But from the mixture of the Pan Ya tribe and the Mu Sha tribe?"
"I dare not say, but even if they are not, we don't know where the Pan Ya and Mu Sha tribes are, so we still have to fight."
Liu Baizhong nodded, knowing that he would die, it would be the same at any time.
Old Ma curled his lips and said, "Master, I am not trying to boost others' morale and destroy my own prestige. Our current casualties are one to five, one to ten, but that is when the conditions are favorable to us."
"There are no cities here, it's all plains. We only have more than 2,000 people. Can we really defeat soldiers who are twice our number?"
"Even if we can win, I'm afraid..."
Lao Ma shook his head and kept silent. Even if they could win, the losses would be extremely heavy.
Liu Baizhong gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the Xixia war horses are too fast. Even if your young man can fire continuously, after one round, he will have to fight hand-to-hand."
"Let me ask you, what if... the Xixia people's war horses are all drowsy?"
Chen Changan's smile was mysterious, and Lao Ma and Liu Baizhong's expressions were shining.
"Master Chen, do you want to... use poison?"
"is it not OK?"
"Yes, we can, but where do we get the toxins?"
Chen Changan smiled mysteriously: "We don't have any, but Tiedan has so many herbs, isn't it a waste if we don't use them?"
"Fizz!"
Will she give it to me?
After making a strategic decision, Chen Changan walked to Tiedan'er's tent.
Chen Changan lifted the door curtain, revealing Tiedan’s furrowed brows.
She sat beside Yue Shan's bed, her expression focused, her slender fingers firmly placed on Yue Shan's wrist, quietly feeling the subtle pulse.
Yue Shan lay quietly, his complexion showing a marked improvement compared to before.
The cheeks that were once as pale as paper now had a faint flush of color, and the cracked lips also regained some moisture, no longer dry and flaky as before.
Although Yue Shan showed obvious signs of improvement, Chen Changan still felt a little worried.
Could it be a last gasp?
Finally, Tiedan finished examining the patient, walked to the car to get the medicine, and then handed it to the sergeant.
Seeing Chen Changan standing here, Tiedan laughed out loud: "Master Qinjia, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Sonorous!
Chen Changan suddenly pulled out the steel knife from his waist, his arm muscles tensed and veins bulged.
He raised the steel knife high and chopped it down at Tiedaner with the force of thunder.
The steel knife drew a sharp arc in the air with a whistling sound. The knife light flashed, like a bolt of lightning striking the earth.
The knife's power was so terrifying that it made me tremble with fear.
What a pity, Tiedan didn't even try to dodge, and didn't even have the intention to resist.
He just stared quietly at the chopping steel knife, as if the deadly threat before him was just an insignificant illusion.
hum!
The steel knife stopped at Tiedan'er's face. Chen Changan was a little angry: "Why didn't you hide?"
"Why should I hide?"
"Give me a reason not to dodge!"
"Too much."
Tiedan sneered and said, "If you wanted to kill me, you could have killed me a long time ago. Is there any need to do this?"
"Besides, you waited for a long time without taking any action. You were obviously concerned about Yue Shan's safety. Only I can save him. How dare you kill me?"
"The most important thing is that Qinjia is just a joke. Lord Chen is so petty, will he kill me?"
Chen Changan gritted his teeth and approached Tiedaner.
Tiedaner stepped back step by step and was pushed against the carriage by Chen Changan. He wanted to run, but he couldn't escape at all.
Chen Changan and Tiedan were so close that their bodies were almost touching.
Chen Changan's eyes were like two bottomless pools, locking his gaze on Tiedan'er tightly, leaving her nowhere to escape.
Tiedan'er's cheeks became hot in an instant, and a blush quickly spread from his ears to his entire face.
She wanted to turn her head away to avoid the intense gaze, but for some reason, her legs seemed to be nailed to the ground and she couldn't move.
Her breathing became more rapid and her chest heaved violently.
"Master Qinjia, what are you doing? Are you trying to infect me with your Qinjia disease?"
Tiedan pretended to be calm, and every time he inhaled, it was as if he was trying to suck the oppressive air into his lungs.
Every exhalation was accompanied by an imperceptible tremor.
She could clearly feel the warm breath emanating from Chen Changan, which was like an invisible net that tightly enveloped her.
"I doubt you can cure any disease at all!"
There was a murderous look in Chen Changan's eyes.
"I don't know how to treat illnesses?" Tiedan retorted, "How did Yueshan survive for so many days?"
"I do not believe!"
"Forget it if you don't believe me. I can't cure Yue Shan. Lord Qin Jia, please find someone else!"
Tiedan was angry and wanted to leave, but Chen Changan ordered in a cold voice: "Brother Liu, pull out all the captives! Since Tiedan can't save Yue Shan, these people have no value in living!"
"Yes!!"
Liu Baizhong agreed and walked towards the prisoner camp.
Tiedan clenched his fists and looked back at Chen Changan: "Chen Changan! What on earth do you want to do!"
"You say, I do!"
"Don't use my people to scare me!"
Chen Changan sneered: "Tiedan, you'd better understand that you are my plaything in my hands. I can do whatever I want with you."
"Before that, I want to test whether you know medical skills or not."
