Qin Dan looked at the valley where corpses were everywhere and ordered: "Let the soldiers clean up the bodies of the two armies in the valley, find a place next to the Shoushan Mountain to bury them, and gather the alive war horses,

As for the dead horse, you can’t waste it. Find some people to peel them all and clean them up. Cook some broth at night so that the soldiers can also satisfy their cravings and drive away the cold air from Liaodong.”

Although it was completely dark, the Wu army in the valley raised torches and gathered the bodies in the valley and piled them up so that they could be transported away and found a place to bury them.

The crows continued to hover over the trees around the valley, shouting, "Ah-Ah-Ah". Even though the entire valley made the fire light very bright, it could not drive the crows too far.

Some soldiers were holding the wounded one by one to sit down next to the fires that were formed on the hillside, and bandage them, dealing with the wounds left by knives, guns, and arrows.

Qin Dan, the surrendered soldier of the Wei army, did not leave, and cleaned up a clean area in the valley and found several doctors who could treat battlefield trauma to help them see.

From time to time, the wounded soldiers screamed in pain and even fainted.

Two hundred soldiers went to the stream in the foothills not far away to get water, used three or four pieces of wood to build the fire, and used copper cauldrons and pottery basins to burn water, and put large pieces of horse meat in it and cook it.

There were soldiers behind him who were responsible for setting up the tent that had been broken up just dawn in the morning. After all, it was impossible for Liaodong to sleep directly on the wilderness at night. Even if the tent was a little smaller and dilapidated, it was still a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The Chinese character "生" contains "生", and "生" means arrowheads. It can be seen that the origin of ancient medicine was closely related to war. In ancient times, the army mainly fought hand-to-hand combat. After each battle, a large number of soldiers were injured, in addition to the soldiers who died in battle.

With the increasing scale of war, the increasing types of weapons and the increasing lethality of wars, and the increasing number of wounded and sick people in the war will emerge in a large number of wars. There will be tens of thousands of wounded soldiers in a battle.

Even in modern times, it is difficult to treat wounded soldiers. Moreover, in ancient times, when medical treatment was low, it was still difficult to treat diseases, let alone treat wounded soldiers.

The ancient Roman army could only scrub the wound with wine. The only way to treat wounds in the Middle Ages was to burn the wound directly with a red soldering iron or a scorching boiling oil.

In "Mozi: Welcoming the Enemy Tong", there is a sentence like "Celebrating wizards, divination, possessing medicine, and officials nourish them", which means that wizards often prepare medicine to welcome the enemy.

Trauma treatment often uses simple and painful methods such as scraping, sawing, chiseling, and pulling.

In the Warring States Period, the military book "Six Strategies·Tigers·Wang Yi" also records that "three alchemists are responsible for hundreds of medicines to cure golden sores and cure hundreds of diseases." The witch doctors separated after the Qin and Han Dynasties.

During the Jian'an period, Hua Tuo was the first person in the world to perform major surgery with anesthetics. At that time, military doctors were temporary guest appearances. If there was a war, they would be military doctors. If there was no war, they would be civilian doctors.

Military wounded people are most injured by arrows. If the arrow is broken into the bone, it is often used to take internal medicine and external medicine. It is said that the arrow can leave the bones by itself.

The key points and treatment methods of ancient military treatment: "The disease in the army is nothing more than metal sores, so it is the first one; the second one is the poison in it, and the second one is the horse that falls and the horse bites it. These four things are not injured by the army, so it is the first one.

In ancient times, the military focused on stopping bleeding, removing blood stasis, reducing the condition, etc.

In terms of treating fractures, bamboo patches are used as splints to fix broken bones.

For example, "The God Mechanism Enemy Taibai Yin Meridian" records a kind of "blood rubbing in the abdomen" for treating fractures.

The "Back to the Elbow" records that if the fracture is suspected of being broken, it should be wrapped in soft old cloth, not too loose or too tight.

This will not hinder the blood flow. The military doctor can use a rope to stop bleeding against combat injuries, cut open the muscles and remove arrows, which can cause the person who is injured by a knife and faints to wake up immediately.

In short, the medical method is to take hemostatic drugs, wash the wound, suture it if necessary, apply ointment, fracture the bones, and send the intestines back to the abdomen. Now, there are many doctors on the hillside in the valley using this method to treat the wounds.

In response to the difficulty of finding drugs during the war between soldiers and the people's chaos, or they cannot afford them, the military doctor also created acupuncture to save drugs. In addition to trauma such as knives, guns, arrows, there are also trauma such as frostbite, burns, and other internal medicine diseases. There are many treatment methods in the army.

When the army goes to war, the military doctor will also go to war with the team. When a soldier is injured or sick, he will be treated through the military doctor patrol. If there are tens of thousands or tens of thousands of wounded people, a wounded shelter camp will be set up in the rear.

Recruiting migrant workers is responsible for transporting the injured to the rear. If the injured cannot walk, one livestock will be distributed. If the injured are seriously injured, two livestock will be distributed and tied to carry the injured.

Usually, donkeys are given, and a relay and tea station are set up on the route of the injured. The injured are sent as soon as possible, changing the medicine every once in a while, and the food and accommodation cooks are responsible for supplying the injured's food and accommodation.

When the water in the kettle boils, the soldiers beside him will carefully pour out a small pinch of salt from the small cloth bag they carry with them, and evenly sprinkle them into the kettle with their not-so-clean and rough hands.

In the eyes of Wu army soldiers, although this salt is not as white as the snow in Liaodong and even has some bitter taste, it is a very precious and rare thing.

Qin Dan smelled the gradually richer meat aroma in the air: "I guess the horse meat tastes good, although it is not as good as Jianye's horse meat with so many seasonings."

Du De stroked his beard and said, "It's a pity that there are few horses in Jianye City, so there are even fewer foods for people. I have eaten them a few times in the palace banquet, but the best horse meat is what you and I ate when I was hiding in Tibet in Liaodong. The taste is really nostalgic!"

Horse meat is not only eaten by the people, but also appears on the dining tables of high-ranking officials and families.

Making dishes with horse meat seems incredible today, but horse meat was not uncommon on the dining tables of the upper class during the Qin and Han Dynasties.

During the Jian'an period, Liu Xi's secret "Shi Ming·Shi Diet" was written by Liu Xi: "Cut the pork, sheep, and horse meat is like stew."

It can be seen that people in the Han Dynasty had the custom of eating raw horse slices; there was "horse sauce", which was made by chopping horse meat;

Some people use horse meat to make soup, and even some bamboo and silk medical books contain records of eating horse meat.

The "Book of Fetal Delivery" in the Han Dynasty said: "Those who want to make their son strong will eat mare meat when they are in their mouths."

It means that when a woman is pregnant, she can eat mare meat to make the fetus strong.

For example, in "Fifty-Two Disease Prescriptions", there is a record that "don't eat fish, meat, or horse meat when treating diseases", which shows that eating horse meat was a common thing at that time.

Although these two records are dietary nourishment and taboos, they have been of the same origin since ancient times, and can also be regarded as a portrayal of real dietary life.

In addition, the nobles of the Han Dynasty also drank horse milk and used horse milk as wine.

There was a "family stable" in the royal stable of the Western Han Dynasty. The name was renamed "Tung Horse Stable" in the Han Dynasty. It was a place for raising mares and was responsible for supplying horse dairy products to the palace.
