Of course, the possibility of leaking the news in advance was quickly vetoed by Chen Ziling himself. Because of the defection between Woniucheng and Lianhua County, it has not been clarified so far; If the news leaks, then the person who came today will not be a post soldier, but Wang Kenong, who led thousands of troops and horses to pick peaches!

The person who knows him best is often his worst enemy. Judging from the experience of Chen Ziling and Zhou Chang'an fighting for more than 30 days, at least this fourth prince will never be an incompetent person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!

Moreover, once Hedong City is broken, Bingzhou City is also in danger. If Zhou Chang'an plans to defend and merge states in the next step, then he must immediately start to stabilize the morale of the army and eliminate the adverse effects caused by the loss of Hedong City as soon as possible.

So if he wasn't really seriously ill and bedridden and couldn't come to Lianhua County, he wouldn't have gone back on his word and backtracked!

So what is the most likely severe illness that Chen Ziling is infected? There is no doubt that although Mr. Kang has just warned about his "cholera disease"! After all, no matter how strong the walls of Hedong City were, they couldn't stop the plague.

If Chen Ziling is really infected with a vicious disease, then whether it is attacking Bingzhou or arresting Zhou Changan, there is no need to rush for a while!

Bingzhou City is the capital of the Three Jin Dynasty, and Wang Kenong is the confidant of the Son of Heaven who has just been transferred to the Three Jin Dynasty. Regardless of ability, at least loyalty is unquestionable. And this Hedong victory, how much water there is, I'm afraid it can't be hidden from Wang Kenong, who is close at hand, so persuading this road will definitely not work.

From a geographical point of view, because Sanjin borders Mobei, as early as when civil strife occurred in Mobei, Wang Kenong began to strengthen the city defense, dig deep ditches and high barriers, and make comprehensive preparations. Even if you have a new-style car in your hand, if you want to take the city of Bingzhou, at least it will not be easier than Hedong City.

But if Zhou Changan really contracted cholera, then the situation would be completely different.

He can rely on Woniu City and Taohua County to leave behind the veterans of the Qin army who urgently need to rest and recuperate, and just stabilize his position; And he personally led 150,000 new troops to the south, through the corridor on the north bank of the Yu River, through the north of Zhongzhou Road, and invaded Jizhou Road in a big way!

Due to the extremely contagious nature of cholera, within two or three days of a full-scale outbreak, the combat effectiveness of a tiger and wolf army will be reduced to freezing! There is a popular saying among the people, saying that a good man can't stand up three bubbles! What's more, the diarrhea caused by cholera can kill people alive!

If you can rely on Zhou Chang'an's "Hongfu", I'm afraid it won't be long before the city of Bingzhou, which has long been prepared, will definitely be self-defeating! Shimen City, the capital of Jizhou, is only 400 miles away from Bingzhou City; Even if due to the rapid march, this second army could not carry large siege equipment, and would certainly not be able to defeat the stone gate; But you can wait for the back road of the rout of the annexed state, and completely wipe out the last elite force of the Northern Yan Dynasty in a two-sided way!

And considering Zhou Chang'an's status as the prince, Luo Yingnan, the governor of Jizhou, even if he knew that he was invincible, how could he not lead his army out of the city to respond? If it is properly arranged, he can take Shimen City and set up the Qin army camp in this big city, the capital of Jizhou.

At all times, the Qin army only needed to divide the troops into three ways, and at the same time captured Baozhou Mansion, Weijin, and Wucheng, and at that time, Yanjing City was surrounded by his Qin army like an iron bucket, and Emperor Zhou Yuanqing was also unable to escape; As long as Zhou Yuanqing is firmly held in his hands, His Royal Highness the King of Qin can rightfully succeed to the throne and move the capital to Yanjing; And as the founding marshal, he will also go down in history and be famous for centuries!

I have to say that although Chen Ziling is only half a human, his imagination is very rich! With this letter and a few words, he thought about his plan for the next 30 years very thoroughly!

However, leading the coach of the Qin army to think about it is wrong, which is also one of Zhou Changan's intentions. It's just that he didn't expect that Chen Ziling would really be so shameless and regard the result of the battle of Hedong City as his immortal feat! And his self-inflicted blindness and pride appeared at the right time!

Just when Chen Ziling was thinking about whether to order the whole army to move forward and move to Woniu City and Taohua County, which were like empty cities; Zhou Chang'an, who was "unfortunately contaminated with cholera", was in Yanping County at the foot of Yunqiu Mountain, watching the wide body return to boil medicine.

"Fat Qi, I've seen the doctor's decoction before. But the small pot of decoction of medicine is the size of a casserole, let's take a look at the little thing in front of you, are they all boiling medicine? It's a vinegar tank! The three good vats of vinegar are all called to make you bad! I take a breath now, the acid water in my cheeks is bubbling out, and my teeth are about to be smoked! …… Brother Zhenge, can you do it or not? At least let me and my brothers understand it. ”

Although Zhou Changan was nearly twenty years older than Qi Hui, he had the influence of Shen Gui in the past, and then fought with the brothers of the Tianyou Army for more than 30 days, and the reserve and elegance brought by extreme wealth had long been thrown out of the clouds. At this time, he was frowning and pinching his nose, looking at Qi Hui who had stripped off his backbone, struggling to stir the three vinegar jars, and from time to time he took out a wrinkled yellow sheet and compared it repeatedly, and whispered in his mouth:

"Bupleurum ...... It's been down; Wind...... also down; Hawthorn...... Ay? ……”

After all, Zhou Changan is a literati who has participated in the imperial examination for 800 years, and in such a short period of time, he has heard the prescription three times, and it is difficult to forget it!

"Hawthorn has also been down!"

"Oh, don't worry...... Hawthorn is down...... Tangerine peel also ...... No, it's a fresh orange peel...... Three, three! Where is Lao Tzu's tangerine peel! ”

Qi Yan pulled his neck and shouted, and an echo came from the hut behind him:

"I didn't show you, look for it!"

"Forget it, orange peel is orange peel, there is no harm in being fresh......"

Zhou Chang'an's eyebrows on both sides were about to shift, he grabbed Qi Hui's fat hand, and said to him with sincere eyes:

"Brothers, let's take a break. Seeing that you are busy with this sweat, my brother really can't bear it! Come, you give me all the recipes and medicinal herbs, can my brother do it himself? ”

"Huh? Still can't trust me? Then you can do it yourself......"

After finishing speaking, Qi Hui handed him the prescription casually, and he scooped up a handful of small black fruits from the pile of medicinal herbs, and staggered into the room behind him. Zhou Changan's mood stabilized, and there was an angry roar in the room:

"I said the third child, the third child, if you don't steal for a day, your paws will itch, right? Didn't you just say you didn't see it? Do you know what this is? This is a 20-year-old Yuejiang tangerine peel, and a piece has to be sold for at least more than 800 taels of silver, which is extremely expensive! Before you were eight years old, you didn't even know bread, and now you dare to use this kind of thing to make tea? Go back and ask your father, does that rich artemisia grow on the ancestral grave? Don't be afraid of thunder and thunder! Ay? Is the kettle still steaming, and the water is hot? ”

Qi Hui scolded his head and face, but the third child didn't take it to heart at all; After a snorting sound, the voice of the weak voice replied:

"Whew...... It really smells. Little Qi Ye, don't be so ugly when you speak! No matter how expensive this thing is, he hasn't drunk it into the dog's stomach, has he? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, just leave this little boiling water, and soak my black wolfberry......"

Hearing that the two people in the house began to "share the spoils", Zhou Changan really felt the physical discomfort. Since the envoy of the Northern Empire, Qi returned, and met with him in Bingzhou City, even if the people around him gathered more and more, things were lost faster and faster. Whether it is a jade pendant or a ring, gold and silver or precious stones, as long as it is a dazzling effort, it will be completely gone. Even his own sword of the Son of Heaven, the opal and agate inlaid on the scabbard, I don't know who pried it away.

However, in addition to the fact that these people have unclean hands and feet and have a strange temper, their skills are really not small! The two hundred elite armor soldiers that the Qin army had planted in Woniu City were stunned by this group of people to use the three indiscriminate methods of beating stuffy sticks and white wolves, and quietly changed to a clean one! And the meticulous work and the secret whistle of Di Ting in Bingzhou City have long been uprooted by this group of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and are being locked up in Wang Kenong's prison!

In the early hours of this morning, a half-grown child with fast legs and feet, reported to Chen Ziling, who led the troops to the battle, and after not following a literati by his side, Qi Hui immediately took Zhou Chang'an away and came to Yanping County.

There are eight hundred and thirty-two neatly armored Northern Yan cavalry, waiting for their commander Zhou Chang'an.

Zhou Changan took Qi Hui's prescription, cut the ingredients according to the prescription, and soon boiled out three large jars of black medicinal juice with a slight acetic acid taste.

"Qi Fatty! Qi Fatty! ”

Zhou Changan removed the fire and shouted to the main house with his neck pulled; And Qi Hui and San'er, one of them holding a teacup, leaning on half of the door frame, calmly looked at the hysterical Zhou Changan, :

"The Four Princes...... Bah! I'm sorry, I didn't rush you! It's that this black wolfberry is not clean, and a straw stick is drunk...... What's wrong with my Zhou Dashuai, what do you command? ”

“…… Come back, go back, if I don't need you now, I'm going to chop your dog with a knife, and then use your fat to refine oil! ”

"Ho ho ho, what a big breath! Soak urine first to take care of yourself, walk with splayed legs, vomit more than you eat every day, and think about how to chop me? ”

"Whew...... Let's talk. How is this shamanic secret medicine eaten? ”

"Phew...... San'er, go and bring the scoop to the fourth prince and teach him how to drink water for the common people. The family is a prince, and the family is generous, and they used to be fed mouth-to-mouth by beautiful palace maids! ”

Playing tricks and coughing has become the main way of communication between the two of them. Zhou Changan ignored Qi Hui's sarcasm, looked at the three jars of sour shaman tea in front of him, gritted his teeth vigorously, and then raised his head and drank a scoop:

"Phew! It's bad...... Soldiers! ”

"In!"

Zhou Changan gave an order, and there was a tsunami-like response from outside the small courtyard. He strode forward to open the courtyard gate, and stuffed the scoop in his hand into the hand of the first Northern Yan cavalryman:

"The elixir to avoid plague and stop diarrhea is boiled, I tasted it for the big guy first, and it is really hard to drink! One person takes a big mouthful, and after the illness is cured, let's go to find the bad luck of the white-eyed wolves of the Qin army! ”

"Yes!"
