Zhang Zhongjing agreed with the Red Turban Army's efforts to prevent the plague. Although the conditions here are far inferior to Luoyang, the cleanliness here is far greater than that of Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, and there are special bathing places in some fast-growing villages. At the same time, people like him who come from outside ask for a bath in order to "disinfect." ”

"It's not a war zone yet, and once you get there, every house there will be sprayed with lime water and smoked vinegar to disinfect the food area. Washing your hands before eating and after using the toilet can greatly reduce the spread of the plague. Zhang Zhongjing took a pamphlet and recorded. He recorded what he saw and heard along the way, as well as the prescriptions he recorded. This may be one of the foundations of the later "Treatise on Typhoid Fever".

"In the war zone, there are also field hospitals, a large number of wounded soldiers and patients will be treated in a centralized manner, and in the central areas of several nearby villages, there are also hospitals that receive patients in a centralized manner, and once the plague is found, it will be isolated and treated, to a certain extent, this greatly reduces the large-scale outbreak of the plague in the war zone." Zhang Zhongjing recorded all this, he thinks. The practice of the Red Turban Army is feasible, it is worth promoting on a large scale, this is almost an iron law, after a large-scale war, there will be a large-scale outbreak of plague, if these prevention methods can be promoted, you can greatly avoid a larger-scale outbreak of the plague, but unfortunately the imperial court money and food are all used in the war, and the situation of preventing and controlling the plague near Luoyang is not optimistic. If the Red Turbans can promote this method on a large scale, he can still stay and help with something. Zhang Zhongjing: No matter if you are the imperial court or the Red Turban Army, as long as it is good for preventing a large-scale outbreak of the plague, Zhang Zhongjing will support it.

And Wang Ming is very welcome to people like Zhang Zhongjing. Why? Because these are talents, the Red Turban Army lacks too many talents, and the lack of management has led to the fact that many of them cannot function. If a talent like Zhang Zhongjing can be retained, Wang Ming is still very happy.

However, what Wang Ming is paying attention to now is that the Red Turban Army can eat a dumpling soup as soon as possible, in this case, because the frostbite on the front line is still relatively serious, Wang Ming is now the Minister of Economy of the Red Turban Army, responsible for earning a lot of money for the Red Turban Army, without the support of these money, it will be difficult for the Red Turban Army to conduct a decent war.

In Ma Heng's temporary headquarters, his side was very dangerous, and his guard platoon commander was very anxious, because with the addition of staff officers, there were only eighteen people around Ma Heng, eighteen people, if he encountered a large number of enemies, it would be easy to eliminate them, and the guard platoon commander was very anxious. One by one, his men left the place, either to deliver important information or to reconnoitre, and he really couldn't spare any more men.

"Where have the troops arrived?" Ma Heng asked, "One of the advantages of the constant forward movement of the command headquarters is that it can be commanded at any time. Understand the situation on the front line, but the disadvantage is also very big, that is, his command may be attacked at any time, it happened before, they were resting in a village, if it wasn't for the timely report of the militia, they would have encountered a force of more than 80 people in the northern army, imagine the situation at that time, the guard platoon commander felt very afraid, if that was really the case, their situation would be very bad. This is equivalent to the enemy ending their headquarters, and the guard platoon commander is very worried about this, but Ma Heng doesn't care about this at all, he needs to know the situation on the front line, and now the establishment of the troops is completely disrupted. There was chaos everywhere, and he couldn't do it at all if he stayed in the command to understand the situation. It is better to take a few staff officers to the front line to direct the operation.

"Sir, according to the information we have gathered, Huangfu Song's Chinese army is about twenty miles north of Xiaohetan. It is not clear exactly in which village, or if there is a camp there. But the battle has been concentrated there. A staff officer said.

"But there were some bad things going on offensively. We only surrounded a few people on the perimeter, but we still couldn't attack inside, and the defense there was still relatively stubborn. The staff officer reported to Ma Heng some of the information they had gathered, and Ma Heng's current location was less than forty miles away from Huangfu Song's headquarters. Therefore, he still knows some specific situations on the front line.

"Order some troops in the front, form battle groups on the spot, organize the offensive with the highest rank, and if necessary, go on the defensive. In addition, the artillery was ordered to quickly reach the intended position. Ma Heng said.

"Sir, do you want the forward troops to step up the construction of some fortifications, the other side still has cavalry, we are all infantry, in the plain battle, although we have muskets, but if there is no defensive position, the situation of our army is still very unfavorable." A staff officer suggested.

"Hmm. Do as you do, and when you attack, take care to build fortifications. Ma Heng said.

"It's cold, and digging trenches is very disadvantageous." A staff officer said worriedly.

"In any case, even if we use wood, mounds of earth, or ice with water, we must find a way to build a fortification, without which those cavalry will have a great impact on our assault port." Ma Heng said anxiously.

"Yes. Sir. The staff officer began to draw up orders. Immediately, the guard platoon commander reluctantly singled out four people to convey the order. A staff officer also conveyed the order to go.

"Sir, it's too dangerous here. Let's go and gather a troop nearby, otherwise it's too dangerous. The guard platoon commander said worriedly.

"Get out. Lao Tzu's people all rushed to the front line. You even said that you want to mobilize other people to protect me here, I don't need protection, what I want is to capture Huangfu Song. If you have this ability, you can pounce on Lao Tzu. If you catch Huangfu Song. Lao Tzu listens to you. Ma Heng scolded. The guard platoon commander did not dare to speak out. Because he really can't do that.

Inside the headquarters of the 1st Brigade.

"Damn, what kind of situation is it at the front, how did the first regiment and the thirteenth regiment do it, there has been no news for so long." Xu Dou angrily threw the charcoal in his hand on the map and scolded.

"Sir, there's the case with the 3rd Infantry Brigade." A staff officer came over with a battle report and said.

"Say." Xu Dou said.

"The commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade went to the front with a few staff officers and a guard platoon, and the time of this battle report was three hours ago, and they were less than sixty miles from the core battle area." The staff officer said.

"What?" Xu Dou asked in surprise.

"Ma Heng actually took this person and went to the front line?" Xu Dou asked in surprise.

"Yes, sir, according to the report of one of our regiments of infantry. There were not many people around the commander of the third brigade, and there was originally a guard company, but for some reason, when he saw it, there was only one guard platoon, although it was well equipped, but there were too few personnel. The staff officer said.

"I admire the Third Brigade very much, otherwise people would have the word assault, and we would be lagging behind." Xu Dou thought about it and said.

"Sir, you can't do that. It's too dangerous to do that. The staff officer immediately understood what his commander was trying to do. He will definitely take people to the forward position, the situation there is very dangerous, Huangfu Song doesn't know what other big moves to release, once released, the command will be defeated, and the Red Turban Army will have a lot of fun.

"No, you continue to command here, if you encounter any situation, you will deal with it, I must go there, I can't let the Third Brigade look down on our First Brigade, this time, the Third Brigade did win. They can do that, why can't we, no matter what. A few of you follow me, let the guards take two platoons in a row, and we will reach the front as fast as we can. Xu Dou said.

"Sir, sir. Can't do that, it's too dangerous. The staff officer persuaded. But it didn't work at all.

In Shang Wu's headquarters, Shang Wu was looking at some battle reports, which were carefully selected by Jia Xu, and he was very concerned about some of the situations on the battlefield.

"Look at this." Jia Xu said to Shang Wu.

"What's wrong?" Shang Wu asked, then took the battle report and looked at it.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense. How can Ma Heng do this, there is only one guard platoon by his side, who knows what Huangfu Song will do, if the Northern Army counterattacks, what will he, the brigade commander, do? After reading it, Shang Wu said,

"I've seen it before. Maybe Ma Heng is right. However, this matter can only be done until Ma Heng's safe return. After all, it was the front line. Jia Xu said.

"The situation on the front lines is very chaotic, and we all know that the organization has been completely disrupted. Many regiment commanders don't know where their subordinates are, and they can only command other troops to fight, and if they continue like this, they will not know what will happen at the front line if they stay in the rear, so in such a situation, many times, it is difficult for them to continue. Commanding from the front can make up for such a lag in news, and I support this. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. Okay, I agree with you, but I don't advocate this, you can go to the front, but you only have a guard platoon next to you, this is not good, wait until you come back and see how I clean him up. Shang Wu was still very unconvinced. The Marine Corps also has a tradition of senior commanders commanding on the front line, after all, this can be the first line to know what is happening on the front line, but there is a price to do, and many senior commanders unfortunately died in this way. It's very difficult for him.

"There is another thing, that is, Lao Mu launched an attack on the Xiyuan New Army in the encirclement, according to the battle report, a day and a half ago, the Xiyuan New Army broke through from there, and the Fourth Infantry Brigade has blocked the mouth there, and the Xiyuan New Army is surrounded again, but if this problem is not solved, it is still difficult to do." Jia Xu said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. The force cannot be given to them. Shang Wu was very embarrassed and said that they couldn't provide Lao Mu with more troops, and many things could only be done by Lao Mu himself. If he couldn't figure it out himself, there was nothing he could do about it.

"If psychological warfare can work, that's good. In this way, we can reduce a lot of burden. Jia Xu said.

"Let them give it a try, if they can really do this, it can be regarded as relieving us of a lot of pressure, the Red Turban Army has reached its limit. The Second Infantry Brigade was ordered to move south quickly, and to reach Huangfu Song's headquarters as quickly as possible. Hurry up. Shang Wu urged. Jia Xu nodded in agreement with such a decision, at present, only the Second Infantry Brigade still has sufficient military strength to use, and the other troops have reached the limit.

Inside the encirclement of the new army in the West Garden. They have run out of food. The morale of the army is weakened. In addition, the commander fled, and some of the new troops in Xiyuan quietly ran to the side of the Red Turban Army's position.

"Listen, brothers on the other side. I hurriedly threw away my weapon. Let's change it to chopsticks. There's meat boiling here. It's fragrant. Platinum said on crutches. He joined the Red Turban Army with his wounds, and it was not only the Red Turbans who helped them heal their injuries. There is more land, they have been soldiers all their lives, and when they die, there is no place to bury them, how can there be any land to use.

"Brothers. Come on, our chiefs are gone. The food here is delicious, and you can eat it when you come here. Platinum shouted loudly.

"I'm platinum. Old Kim. You know me, I, my old Kim is injured. The Red Turbans helped heal their wounds. The Red Turbans here not only have meat to eat, but also good wine. In this life, it is to change the wine of the emperor Lao Tzu to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will not change it. Platinum shouted loudly.

"It's old gold. It's the voice of old Kim, listen. Wang Tugou said excitedly. He was almost hungry and had no strength. Yesterday, I just drank a sip of gruel. I'm still feeling a little sick to my stomach.

"I'm old gold. Come on, the Red Turban Army is benevolent and righteous, and people will not kill prisoners of war indiscriminately. Surrender, if you don't surrender, you're dead. The cannons are ready here. Brothers, there is no need to die for the emperor Lao Tzu, the emperor Lao Tzu doesn't care about us. Huangfu Song was besieged. There is no hope. Old Jin shouted loudly. When the soldiers of the Xiyuan New Army heard in the trenches and heard the news that Huangfu Song was besieged, their hearts fell a lot at once.

"If you don't believe me, we'll have the brethren on the northern side come over and say a few words, brethren. There's no hope to stop fighting. Old Jin shouted loudly.
