Chapter 32: The Siege of the City

Now people generally know very well that the most important thing to prevent and control after heavy rain is the plague, heavy rain will pollute the water source, will turn the dirt up from the gutter, and there will be a large number of parasites breeding, so Yun Zheng just stopped after the heavy rain, began a large-scale epidemic prevention training, all the veterans of the Jiazi battalion were singled out to do this thing, and two people who drank raw water were caught in the Guangnan army, and they were hung on the camp gate and whipped for thirty times, which completely put an end to the habit of drinking raw water in the Guangnan army.

There has never been such a thing as catching lice in the barracks of the expedition since the beginning of the world, and Yu Jing, who could barely get up, wanted to open his mouth to persuade him several times, but when he saw Yun Zheng's iron-blue face, he consciously went to persuade Yang Zi and these people.

There was such a thing as a plague about to break out in Wuchao City, Yun Zheng told Zhou Tong, Wu Jie and Su Xun, and the rest of the people didn't say anything, Yu Jing knew that Yun Zheng was not a nonsense person, so he endured the doubts in his heart and issued an extremely strict military order with Wu Shengjun, and the law enforcement team was a veteran of the Jiazi Battalion.

The most important thing now is to get enough dry wood first, and dry everyone's clothes and tents first, and it is impossible to dry the wet sun in the sky.

There are swarms of mosquitoes flying around in late autumn here, so countless wet firewood piles are burned in the Wusheng army barracks, so that the entire camp is shrouded in a thin layer of smoke, and the firewood piles are also added with seven mile incense, Huoxiang, mint, perilla, calamus, and lemongrass

and all the herbs that can be found to prevent mosquitoes, so that few mosquitoes dare to enter the camp.

At this time, the best thing to use is naturally charcoal, except for the necessary defense army in the barracks, the rest of the people are cutting down the pine and wax trees that are very easy to light, and the pine and wax trees are used as fuel, and the firewood cut by the soldiers is burned into charcoal with a charcoal kiln, and they are not taken out of the charcoal kiln, but put in it. Take and use as you go.

Yun Zheng did not allow the soldiers' personal hygiene to have dead ends, let alone any sanitary dead ends in the military village, and after five full days, the beds in the barracks were cleaner than ordinary people's.

Yu Jing looked for an afternoon. After being helped into Yun Zheng's tent, he waved his hand to rebuke his own soldiers, and after thinking for a long time, he asked Yun Zheng: "Changsheng, you are not busy thinking about countermeasures to attack the black nest, why are you carrying out this set of things in the camp?"

Hugh wants to hide it from the old man, you do something so solemnly, it can't be like the soldiers rumored, your cleanliness disease suddenly attacked, right? ”

Yun Zheng put the back of his hand on Yu Jing's forehead very unreasonably to feel the temperature, and saw that the old man's body temperature was normal, so he whispered: "After the catastrophe, there will be a great epidemic." And Xiao Lin of the Military Justice Department of Wusheng Army accidentally saw that the dead were often thrown into the cliff in Wuchao City during this time, and he was going to find out why those people died, but I refused, and I didn't need to probe I knew very well that it was time for the plague to run rampant in the city now, and you had diarrhea a few days ago. There are still hundreds of people in the back camp who have diarrhea, and that's proof of that, but compared to the people in the city who have malaria, you're really just a little sick. ”

Yu Jing stood up from the chair with a thud, pointed at Yun Zheng with trembling fingers and said, "Is it really the epidemic?" ”

Yun Zheng nodded with a gloomy face: "I am ninety percent sure that it is the time when malaria is rampant in the city, so our task now is no longer how to think about breaking through the city pass." Instead, he was thinking about how to keep the people in the city from running out, even if they wanted to run, they could only run to the country of Jiaozhi, and those who came to the Great Song Dynasty would kill one by one, whether it was an envoy or a deserter. ”

"We should get out of the epidemic area!" Yu Jing struggled to squeeze this sentence out of his throat.

"You can't leave, you have to trap Nong Zhigao in the city. Otherwise, if he desperately advances towards the Great Song Dynasty, it will be a catastrophe, so we just need to block the main gate, as for whether he is willing to run to the country of Jiaozhi with the plague, it is unknown. Yun Zheng's expression was faint. Pressed the trembling Yu Jing on the seat and whispered.

"It doesn't matter if the old man stays, it's not that he didn't deal with the plague when he served in Guizhou, it's just that here are the elite army of our dynasty, and once it is lost, there will even be worries about the destruction of the country. Don't let the old man not be afraid! ”

"There is so easy to worry about overthrowing the country, the western army that came was drawn out of the army, and the number was not enough to threaten the defense of the west, otherwise His Majesty would definitely refuse to transfer the western army over, the day before yesterday, I had sent a fast horse to send a letter to Di Shuai, asking him to return to the Great Song Dynasty from Dali by way!" Yun Zheng suddenly smiled when he said this, if there was really a plague, all the difficulties in front of him would be solved.

"By the way of Dali?" There was already a broken voice in Yu Jing's voice: "Don't do it, don't make a provocation!" ”

"What then? Passing through the mountains? Do you think those mountains can pass through? If you go to the flood famine, it would be good if the army of 27,000 people led by Di Shuai could be left in half, if you come back, this is the epidemic area, looking at the Great Song Dynasty, only the Wusheng army can deal with the plague in an orderly manner, you don't know how glad the Wusheng army is that I am staying now, if the Western army stays to attack the city, and the Wusheng army goes to Jingluozhou, it is the real disaster!

Now it has become a mortal situation, Di Shuai either discussed with Dali Guo to return to Shuzhong by the way, or he broke through Dali Guo and returned to Shuzhong, and this kind of thing is still forgotten. ”

Yu Jing groaned and said, "Who would allow an army of 30,000 people to pass through the state from their own country? Gao Zhisheng, the minister of Dali who is the minister of Dali, still knows about this kind of thing, even if the Dali Emperor Duan Silian is stupid and incompetent, and promises Di Shuai to borrow the way, Gao Zhisheng will definitely not agree, and it is Gao Zhisheng, the minister of the state who really counts! ”

Yun Zheng once again helped Lao Yu Jing to sit down and said with a smile: "My Ming Gong, what kind of person is Di Shuai, he is not in command of these useless armies in Guangnan, he is in command of the Western Army, a group of people who have made a living by killing since childhood.

You old man has to change his mind when he thinks about the problem at this time, you now think of Di Shuai as Li Yuanhao's most powerful time, and then think of Duan Silian as my most unlucky time in the Great Song Dynasty, if you think about it like this, you will find that this matter is actually not difficult, not to mention how do you know that Duan Silian, the emperor of Dali Kingdom, is unwilling to lend Di Shuai? What else does he have now? It's just an empty shell, to put it mildly, Gao Zhisheng can replace him at any time, at this time suddenly an army that wants to fight with Gao Zhisheng suddenly appeared, or a very powerful army, Duan Silian may be worshipping Buddha in the palace at this time, begging Wang Shi to descend from the sky and pull him out of the predicament, we have an excuse to send troops, Gao Zhisheng gave Nong Zhigao a lot of help, don't trouble him at this time, who is the trouble? ”

Yu Jing felt that his heart was broken, his eyes had always been on the country, and he rarely thought about external things, and now he suddenly asked him to include Dali Kingdom in his range of thoughts, and his brain couldn't turn for a while.

He suddenly saw that there seemed to be a flame burning in Yun Zheng's eyes, and he only felt that his lips were dry, and said with difficulty: "Changsheng, even if Di Shuai is forced to use the Dali Kingdom, what are you going to do?" Give the old man the truth, don't coax, the old man is not healed and can't stand the fright. ”

The monkey brought in a small plate of black things from outside the tent and hurriedly went out on the table, and after Yun Zheng took a black thing and opened it, Yu Jing found that it was roasted garlic.

Seeing that Yun Zheng cleaned up a steaming garlic and handed it over, he said: "From today onwards, you have to eat this thing every day, of course, it is best to eat it raw, this thing can best kill the toadstools in the stomach, a few garlic a day, the possibility of getting malaria is very small." ”

Yun Zheng saw that Yu Jing didn't take the garlic and was still staring at himself, so he smiled and said: "What Wu Shengjun wants to do now is to besiege Wuchao, and when the people here are almost dead, they will burn this city to prevent future troubles." ”

"Really?"

"That's true!"

Yu Jing took the garlic and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, knocking his head and saying: "The old man has to think about it carefully, think about it carefully, and sort out the cause and effect of the matter, and then he will give it to His Majesty, please prepare early, prepare early......"

Since Yun Zheng and Yu Jing talked, Wu Shengjun has become stricter in control, and at this time Yun Zheng no longer cares about these trivial matters in the army, but Yu Jing drags the sick body in the three camps every day to constantly inspect and inspect, and the punishment for the soldiers who occasionally violate the ban is more severe, Yang Zi asked Yu Jing several times, but Yu Jing wanted to speak and stopped to divert the conversation, which made Yang Zi's heart full of anger and unknown panic.

But this kind of thing can't be hidden for long, there are constantly corpses thrown out of the city at the head of Wuchao City, which are slowly known by the soldiers, and Yang Zi is even clearer, although he still doesn't know what the reason is, seeing that Yu Jing's face is getting more and more ugly, he doesn't ask anymore, after all, the corpses thrown down from the city are not his subordinates.

The construction of Wuchao City slowly stopped, and the Wusheng army no longer harassed the city, and the two armies did not interfere with each other like harmonious neighbors, living their own lives, and it seemed that this situation would continue to be maintained.

However, in the siege of forty-one days of one night, the Tiansheng Bridge in the west of Wuchao City was broken into two with a huge roar, and a large gap of twenty zhang appeared in the middle, so far, the last retreat of Wuchao was also completely cut off, Nong Zhigao sent the dead soldiers to climb down the cliff to the opposite side, and rebuilt a bridge with more than a dozen huge rattans, but this bridge can only barely pass people, not even war horses......
