"Typhoid fever, how can it be typhoid! Are you saying that thousands of soldiers were sick with typhoid fever? ”

Forcing herself to calm down, Wu Tianrou bit her lip and walked back and forth in the room twice. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother, what did the emperor say, didn't he make any arrangements?"

"The emperor is naturally very anxious, and has already sent additional troops to Yishui City, ordering them to open the road within ten days. But ten days is also a long time, and I don't know if Blackwater City can last that long! ”

Sighing, Wu Zixu was not very optimistic about the time of the tenth.

"Ten days, this is based on the amount of food left in Blackwater City. Calculated that all of them are distributed according to the minimum configuration, and the people of Blackwater City will be able to hold out for another ten days at most. ”

Lowering her eyes, Wu Tianrou tried her best to blink away the tears that came out of her eyes, and analyzed carefully.

"No, wait until the road is opened in ten days before sending someone over, it is estimated that it will be too late, and the people of Yanhuo will not give us time." Taking advantage of the outbreak of typhoid fever in Blackwater City, maybe they will attack the city fiercely. At that time, the sergeant will not have enough to eat at all, and the sick will no longer have any medical treatment, which will not be able to hold Blackwater City at all. ”

"So what can be done? The current situation is like this, the road is impassable, and food and medicinal materials cannot be sent in at all! ”

Wu Zixu also knew that ten days was too long, but this was something that no one could do.

The weather was cold, and the muddy water that flowed out of the landslide was frozen together with the rocks and soil, and it was too slow to move away little by little by manpower.

"Cuiping, where is the letter from the county lord of Qianqian that I received the day before yesterday, take it to me."

Wu Tianrou suddenly raised her head and said to Cuiping on the side.

"Yes, the slave will be brought at once."

Although she didn't know why Wu Tianrou suddenly wanted to read the letter sent back by the county lord of Qianqian from the gilded country, Cuiping still hurriedly ran into the small study and took the letter.

"Yes, that's it. Brother, look at what the county lord of Qianqian said, she has now gained a firm foothold in the Gilded Country, and she has also won the support of many people. Prince Kim Myeong-ji also took over the position of king last month with her assistance. Now almost all of the people in the Gilded Kingdom approve of their husband and wife. ”

Flipping through a few pages of the thick letter, Wu Tianrou pointed to two of the pages and said to Wu Zixu.

"Sister, what do you mean ......, do you want to ask the Qianqian County Lord for help and let the Gilded Kingdom send troops to help Blackwater City?"

After glancing at the letter twice, Wu Zixu raised his head and looked at Wu Tianrou, and immediately guessed what Wu Tianrou meant.

"Exactly! The Gilded Kingdom is to the west of our country, the Yanhuo Kingdom is to the north of our country, and the Gilded Kingdom also intersects with part of the border with the Yanhuo State. The boundary where they intersect is also in the north, and the distance from Blackwater City is not too far.

If the Gilded Kingdom can send troops to help Blackwater City, it will take less time than the time it takes to open the road! ”

Picking up the brush, Wu Tianrou quickly sketched a rough map of the five major countries on rice paper, focusing on the junction of the three kingdoms of gilt country, Tianshui country, and Yanhuo country, and made two strokes.

"Yes, it seems that it is indeed very close, if the Gilding Kingdom directly transfers troops from the border pass, it will not take five days to reach Blackwater City, which is indeed very fast.

However, if we want to transfer to Blackwater City through the Gilded Country, it will take too long. The closest place to the Gilded Kingdom here is a large Hengduan Mountain Range, with natural cliffs and cliffs, which are impassable at all, and can only be passed by detouring to other places. If you walk like this, you won't be able to reach Blackwater City in twenty days. ”

Looking at the simple map drawn by Wu Tianrou, Wu Zixu swiped his finger a few times, and then agreed with the statement I confirmed.

"However, there is a very important question now, will the Gilded Congress agree to send troops to help Blackwater? Jin Mingchi has just ascended to the position of king, so it will be too risky for us to suddenly go up and beg others to send troops now. ”

Frowning, Wu Zixu looked at Wu Tianrou.

"The most important thing is that there is an outbreak of typhoid fever in Blackwater City now, what if the soldiers of the Gilded Kingdom are infected again? Will they not dare to send troops because they have heard that the Gilded State has typhoid fever? ”

Wu Zixu's successive questions also made Wu Tianrou frown. She was also in a hurry, a little sick and rushed to the doctor, so she thought of this method.

At this time, after listening to Wu Zixu's words, I couldn't help but worry that the gilded country would agree to send troops.

"No matter, Cuiping, Yanmo. I'm going to write a letter to the Lord of Qianqian County in the Gilded Kingdom, and I'm going to try it anyway! ”

With the mentality of breaking the kettle, Wu Tianrou quickly wrote the letter and handed it to Cuiqin.

"Cuiqin, use the letter eagle sent by the county lord of Qianqian to send the letter. With the speed of the letter eagle cultivated by the gilded royal family, the county lord of Qianqian should be able to receive the letter tomorrow. ”

"Yes, the slave will go and prepare it immediately."

After receiving the letter, Cuiqin hurriedly walked out of the room and ran towards the place where the letter eagle was kept. This letter eagle was sent to Wu Tianrou two months after the marriage of the county lord of Qianqian, saying that it was convenient for the two to contact each other by letter.

Obeying the fate of heaven and doing everything he could, Wu Tianrou sat on the chair with a weak body.

"Sister, are you alright? It's all my fault, I shouldn't have come so suddenly and told you about it. ”

Seeing Wu Tianrou's slightly pale face, Wu Zixu was very worried.

"I'm fine, brother, if something happens and you don't tell me, then I'll blame you."

Smiling weakly at Wu Zixu, Wu Tianrou shook his hand and took the hot tea handed by Cuiping and took several sips.

"Do you have to discuss this matter with your father, and does the emperor have to say it too?"

After calming down, Wu Tianrou reacted, and privately wrote a letter to ask the county lord of Qianqian for help, so that the gilded country could send troops to help. However, no one else knows!

In case the Gilded Kingdom really sent troops, Emperor Tianshui would not know about it at that time, and then thought that the Gilded Kingdom would also want to attack the border city to get a piece of the pie, wouldn't it be troublesome.

Besides, it is not child's play for the two countries to borrow troops, so they made their own decisions. If the Gilding Kingdom really sent troops, they helped Blackwater City repel the Yanhuo Country. At that time, what conditions does the gilded country propose? What can you do?

The more she thought about it, the bigger her head became, Wu Tianrou looked at Wu Zixu.

Fang Cai was also infected by Wu Tianrou's anxious state, so Wu Zixu didn't think about it at all, such a thing as the two countries borrowing troops must have to communicate with each other. It was only at this time that he reacted, and he was dumbfounded for a while.

"What are you waiting for, stop the letter eagle from flying first!"

Wu Zixu jumped up all of a sudden, and hurriedly ran outside.

As soon as the two of them ran to the door, they heard a loud cry of the eagle, and then they saw a black shadow quickly rise into the air, and disappeared from sight in an instant......

"This, this, it's too late......"

Stupidly looking at the sky that has long been devoid of the shadow of the letter eagle, Wu Zixu is now crying without tears.

"Let's hurry back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and discuss it with my father!"

Lifting her skirt, Wu Tianrou ran towards the door! (To be continued.) )
