Seeing Guo Liang and Zhang Qian's figures disappear into the night, Han Qian's brows furrowed slightly.

Although Guo Liang, Zhang Qian and others had nothing to do with the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Late Red Mansion, and they were closer to Shen Yang, they were also not involved in the Anning Palace.

And as long as they are the generals of the Dragon Bird Army for a day, they will not take the initiative to move closer to the Anning Palace, nor will they take the initiative to report to the Anning Palace.

However, in the Anning Palace and the prince's family, after paying enough attention to this side, it is difficult to say whether it is possible for Guo Liang, Zhang Qian and others, whose power has been hollowed out, to be secretly retracted or bribed.

Guo Liang was originally the only remaining Du Yuhou of the Dragon Bird Army, after the three princes took over the Dragon Bird Army, Guo Liang was quickly marginalized, and the few hundred elites left under his command were also divided by Li Zhihe and them, and it is certain that there is a grudge in his heart, but it does not mean that the third prince Yang Yuanpu came forward and could not be resolved.

Han Qian thought that this should be the next step that the third prince Yang Yuanpu should do, but he didn't have the heart to think about it at this time, so he turned over and asked Zhao Ting'er and Yao Xishui to go back to the villa first, and at the same time informed Lin Haizheng and Zhao Wuji that they would withdraw the scouts.

Since Zhao Mingting pulled Guo Rong directly over to break into the camp, it means that Zhao Mingting should no longer let his subordinates venture over the unfamiliar terrain of the secret room and deliver food to them.

Xiyuanmen is the western boundary of the cantonment military government, which was originally just a simple wooden fence wall as a gesture, but in the past six months, a ditch has been dug to divide the stream and flash torrents into Chishan Lake, and there is a real boundary with Longhuatown.

The ditch is about a zhang wide, and a wooden bridge spans it, which can be lifted at night, separating the inside and outside.

Guo Rong and Zhao Mingting haven't come over yet, but a junior colonel is standing on the other side of the boundary ditch with Guo Rong's waist card held high, and he ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered here.

"This person doesn't look like he is next to Lord Guo." Han Qian climbed the Yuanmen Arrow Tower, listening to the creaking sound under his feet, he was worried about whether this Yuanmen wooden building, which was originally supervised and defended by Guo Liang, would fall when the wind blew.

At the end of the previous dynasty, the envoys who held real power in various places began to openly use eunuchs in their mansions.

Emperor Tianyou rose between the recklessness, 25 years ago only in charge of the Huainan military administration, the Huainan Jiedu Embassy was the first batch of eunuchs used in that year, were all with the Anning Palace Xu Hou from the Guangling Jiedu Embassy brought over the old man; After that, some newcomers were used one after another.

This is also destined to divide the Inner Servant Province in the Imperial City into two factions, and the faction of the Anning Palace, including Guo Rong, is even older.

Even if the factors of Anning Palace are not considered, in the process of laying the foundation of Da Chu, the eunuchs of the Anning Palace faction have also made great contributions, and no matter how much scruples Emperor Tianyou has in his heart, there is no way to clear them out when Guo Rong is conscientious.

Although Guo Rong also has a mansion outside the imperial city, except for a few elderly eunuchs who have nowhere to go and have lost their energy, the people around him are all subordinate to the inner chamber and follow the young eunuchs in Tsing Yi who serve in the Linjiang Marquis' Mansion together; If you want to go out of the city on business, you will also transfer a few guards from the guard battalion to follow.

The three knights who called the door with Guo Rong's waist card, wearing black armor, were naturally the guards beside Zhao Mingting.

Of course, Li Zhihe would not fail to see such a simple matter, and he also knew that when Han Qian said this, he wanted him to take out the horse and show it to these three arrogant guys.

Li Zhihe gave the guards beside him a look, and then ordered the suspension bridge to be put down, and the subordinate general Teng Tengteng behind him took a few people across the bridge, dragged the three people on the opposite bank off their horses, and directly pressed them down in the mud and tied them up, and then walked back with the waist card of Guo Rong's military envoy to present it to Li Zhihe.

"There are too many little thieves these years, so I will first wronged the three of them, and then I will send someone to use this waist card to find Lord Guo to confirm the authenticity." Li Zhihe's sharp eyes swept over the three people who were beaten and bruised in the process of binding under the arrow tower, and said lightly.

"This place is small, so let's go to Matang Village first." Han Qian wasted no time in interjecting a sentence and said.

Li Zhihe was a little puzzled, but seeing that Zhou Yuan was puzzled and suddenly realized, he didn't know what kind of ghost Han Qian came up with to toss people, so he asked his subordinates to take these three people to Matang Village and lock them up first.

Li Zhihe's previous work was mainly focused on staying with the three princes, and while being responsible for teaching the three princes, he also mastered the guard battalion that merged the veterans of the Dragon Bird Army and increased the establishment to 500 people.

It was also three days ago that Chai Jian served as the deputy commander of the guard battalion, responsible for the security of the third prince Yang Yuanpu, and Li Zhihe freed his hands and turned his focus back to the reorganization of the Longhuai Army; Therefore, Li Zhihe was far less familiar with the situation of the cantonment military government than Han Qian and Zhou Yuan.

After half a year of preparation and rectification, there were nearly 2,000 people with severe epidemics at this time, and they were mainly concentrated in the two tunzhai near the east and west gates.

This was the original suggestion that Han Qian made to Shen Yang, the reason being that in addition to the fact that it is easier to manage the severe epidemic diseases, several large seepage wells built for the centralized treatment of human and animal manure were also built on both sides of the camp.

Of course, Han Qian also had a hidden mind, which was to concentrate the hideous-looking and miserable-looking severe epidemic on the two wings, which was also to deter the outside world from prying into the cantonment military government.

Nearly 1,000 people live in Matang Village, all of whom are seriously affected by the epidemic, and a considerable number of people are drowning, even now, two or three people die every day, and escorting these three people over can make them feel the fierce atmosphere of the Taowu epidemic.

The guards beside Li Zhihe have been in and out of the cantonment military mansion many times, and they also know what the current situation of Taowuji is, and they have long known that the water Gu plague will not be transmitted between humans and animals, and there is nothing to be afraid of when they enter Matang Village, but whether these three people will be afraid or not, Han Qian does not know.

Hearing Han Qian and Zhou Yuan tell the truth, Li Zhihe couldn't help laughing.

It was inconvenient to ride a horse at night, and Chai Jian was delaying in front, Han Qian accompanied Li Zhihe and Zhou Yuan to wait for most of the hour at Xiyuanmen, and Guo Rong and Zhao Mingting rushed to the other side of the boundary ditch in Xiyuanmen surrounded by more than 100 people.

At this time, Han Qian, Li Zhihe, Zhou Yuan and others all put on armor, covered with a layer of waterproof tarpaulin soaked in tung oil brush, tied it with a belt, covered their mouth and nose with dust masks made of gauze, and put on gloves made of gum.

"Why did Lord Guo rush to Taowu so late?" Li Zhihe took Han Qian and Zhou Yuan out of the door to greet him, and reprimanded the generals behind him with a straight face, "The three people who held the waist card just now were indeed sent by Lord Guo, you bastards, what kind of spies, you insist on detaining people!" Hurry up and release the people and apologize to them. ”

Accompanying the third prince and the bride into the palace, Guo Rong waited carefully in the palace for a day, he was already quite tired, and was forced out of the city by Zhao Mingting as soon as he left the palace.

Rushed to the front of the camp and saw Li Zhihe, Han Qian and others dressed so strangely, Guo Rong felt even more creepy, even if the three of Zhao Mingting's men had already suffered a little, he didn't want to seek any justice for them.

"Entering the palace today, His Majesty asked about the situation of the cantonment military house, Guo Mou thought that the Longque Army had been new for nearly half a year, but he did not step into the cantonment camp for half a step, although His Majesty did not blame, but Guo's sin of negligence could not escape, and when he was panicked, he invited Governor Zhao to come with him, thinking that there was something to send from the cantonment camp, and he could help come up with ideas together." Guo Rong settled his mind and said without being salty.

"Then please ask Lord Guo and Governor Zhao to speak at the office." Li Zhihe said, signaling his subordinates to take out more than 100 oilcloth robes and ask Guo Rong and them to change into them.

These oilcloth robes are made of cotton cloth soaked in tung oil, which are mainly used to prevent pollution when collecting and treating human and animal manure.

Han Qian and Li Zhihe are wearing new robes, and they are also new robes for Guo Rong and Zhao Mingting, but Zhao Mingting, Guo Rong's Tsing Yi eunuchs and the scouts of the Ministry Division are sorry, they are obviously old robes that have been stained with a lot of filth, and they also emit a foul smell.

Seeing that these people were forced to endure their nausea and put them on, and they had to be careful to avoid being contaminated with the filth outside, Zhao Mingting's face was a little ugly, but Li Zhihe claimed that the special epidemic prevention gowns were limited, and he didn't want his subordinates to be guarding outside the gate, so he could only hold back his breath and keep quiet.

According to Han Qian's plan, Li Zhihe asked people to take special horse cages to cover all the horses entering the camp, and repeatedly instructed: "The horses must not be allowed to break free, once they eat the grass in the camp, they need to be slaughtered and burned on the spot." ”

People can strictly abstain from eating snail crabs when they are ordered, but animals cannot.

To isolate and control the source of the epidemic, the large and medium-sized livestock that have to be used in the cantonment camp will be strictly covered with cages to prevent eating in the wild, and manure bags will be put on to collect livestock feces for centralized treatment.

These utensils are all ready-made, so Han Qian and the others don't look like they are maliciously tossing Guo Rong and Zhao Mingting when they do these things.

When it came, he deliberately used two layers of tung oil cloth to wrap up the hooves of all the horses, and the preparations were done in a serious and meticulous manner, and most of the hours passed.

At this time, the three knights who passed the message had already been released, and Li Zhihe stepped forward to apologize solemnly, but they were pale and silent.

Although they are all iron-blooded soldiers on the battlefield, it is absolutely uncomfortable to be locked up in a stockade with thousands of drowning seriously ill patients; The other scouts of the staff division, seeing their appearance, did not need to ask in detail, and guessed what scene they saw, at this time they all consciously distanced themselves.

Zhao Mingting was reminded by Wang Wenqian, but he was only suspicious of the situation on Taowuji's side, but he didn't confirm anything at all in such a short period of time, and he dragged Guo Rong over tonight.

To say that he didn't have the slightest fear of the epidemic in his heart, who would believe it?

At least he didn't dare to let the three scouts who had been seized to come directly to him, but asked a few words from a distance; He was obviously guarding against what Li Zhihe was doing.

Li Zhihe asked if he would go to the tunzhai below to have a look, or go to the military office to learn about the basic situation first.

Guo Rong rushed ahead of Zhao Mingting and directly decided to go to the military government office first, thinking that the office that was in charge of affairs should not be too serious.

The situation in the military government office is naturally not too serious, and the four newly dead bodies are still in the mortuary in the past two days, and all those who are on duty at night are replaced by soldiers who are infected with epidemics but are not particularly serious, and then a few buckets of human and animal feces were splashed in the front and back of the courtyard, and the air was filled with a faint stench.

"Thanks to Lord Shen Yang's forgetting to sleep and food, and taking pity on the epidemic people, the military government currently has 7,293 soldiers, these are the rosters sorted out by Bing Cao, but these soldiers are going to die of illness every day, and there are still four corpses parked in the mortuary outside, do you want to take a look?" Li Zhihe asked people to move the thick twenty-five books compiled by Zhao Tunzhai to Guo Rong and let him check it.

Zhao Mingting had a pair of sharp eyes, sweeping around inside and outside the courtyard, but those sick soldiers in the courtyard had indeed been trained for four or five months, and they had also come to the military government office two or three times to take shifts, looking at their behavior, there was not much difference from ordinary generals, but there was still a very obvious sick look on their faces, and their bodies looked thin.

Zhao Mingting suspected that Li Zhihe was hiding from the world, but Guo Rong's ability to accompany them into the camp was already the limit, and he didn't want to be killed in the middle of the night, so he entered the cantonment village below with one foot deep and one shallow foot, and without Guo Rong, the prison envoy, to lead the way, what excuse did Zhao Mingting have in front of Li Zhihe to send his people out to spy on intelligence?

What's more, the ban was enforced at night in the tunzhai, Guo Rong didn't show his face for half a year, and the dirty work was all done by Li Zhihe and Zhou Yuan, and he didn't make sense at this time, so he ordered Li Zhihe to open a tunzhai for him to inspect for no reason!
