Chapter 14: My Treatise on Typhoid Fever
"What a clumsy strategy."
Yu Ban carefully avoided the corpses all over the ground and sighed softly.
The night was long, and the ancient city of Xiangyang was once again quiet. In addition to the corpses all over the ground, there were also soldiers lying on the ground. In the bloody air of a southern summer night, these ragged warriors lay on each other's pillows and slept peacefully in exhaustion. They did not harass the dwellings, did not even have time to deal with the prisoners of war who had laid down their arms, and the high tension of the day left most of them unable to support their bodies and sleeping in the streets.
"Hypocrisy." Pound sneered, "Before entering the city, he said that he was not allowed to harass the people, this kid is really sure." Hey, using this method to capture Xiangyang City, only he can do it in this world. Lu Chang, a fool, actually opened the door to steal, but gave this kid an excuse to kill his whole family. โ
Yu Ban frowned and said: "Yes, Lu Chang was frightened by the power of the Xiangyang cannon, if he knew that our army had no backup at all, and the grain and grass could not support it, then the Xiangyang cannon would ...... Hey, how can something that can no longer be used after firing a few rounds can take down this tall Xiangyang City. โ
Pang De was very dissatisfied with the ban on the phrase "our army", he looked at the street where everyone was pillowing each other, Zhao Hao and Guan Yinping sat back to back and slept grogily, with a calm expression on their faces like their own children, how could they have half a point of fierceness and calculation when fighting. Pound was at a loss for a moment, and he couldn't say half a sentence.
After sleeping all night, Zhao Hao felt that his body had accepted his control again.
Although this night was extremely difficult, it basically did not exceed Zhao Hao's calculations. Moreover, Lu Chang also hung up "for unknown reasons" in the chaotic battle, which gave him the opportunity to control Xiangyang City smoothly. Now that Xiangyang City is in their own hands, the road between them and Hanzhong has been completely opened, even if Dongwu takes out Jiangling according to the script of history, they will always maintain absolute pressure on Dongwu with their backs to Xiangyang, so that Sun Quan will not be at peace in his dreams.
Hmph, not to mention that Lao Tzu still has the support of the system, Lu Xun, no matter how strong you are, you must follow the Basic Law.
"Brother Zixuan, are you awake?" Guan Yinping was dressed in red, jumping up and running in front of Zhao Hao like a deer, she didn't have the appearance of killing the god in red last night, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and said happily: "Brother, in the battle last night, our army won a complete victory, most of the guards in the city surrendered, and our army only lost more than 300 people." Now the mansions of Lu Chang and Kuai Wu are surrounded by us, and they are waiting for you to dispose of them. โ
Zhao Hao, who was called "brother" by Guan Yinping, was itching in his heart, he quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "It's all Yinping's command, where do I dare to be proud?" โ
The damage of three hundred people is not small, but it is already a miracle in the siege war in the era of cold weapons, Zhao Hao was slightly dissatisfied with this number, but thinking that this was the first large-scale battle after the Beiwei army became an army, it was still necessary to write about this deed, so that the good news could be passed on to Liu Bei's desk in Chengdu as soon as possible.
Damn, thinking that Liu Bei's brother-in-law was going to jump back soon, Zhao Hao's stomach was overturned.
Guan Yinping boldly grabbed Zhao Hao's arm and said, "Brother, this Xiangyang City is high and deep, but the city is really a little broken. This morning, I saw the people who went out with vegetables on their faces, and you said that we should open a warehouse to release grain, so as to gather a wave of people's hearts. โ
Zhao Hao looked at Guan Yinping with an expectant look, knowing that this girl was kind-hearted, it was fake to win the hearts of the people, and it was true to help the people. He sighed helplessly and said, "Sister, our army does not loot and does not burn houses, which is already a rare discipline. This opening of a position is widely implicated, not only will too much grain and grass be lost, but it will also ...... It will also make some people with ulterior motives think that we are deliberately trying to win over the people's hearts, and we must not do so. Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, my brother promised you that when the military rations are sufficient, I will requisition the people to do things for us, and give us work for relief, what do you think? โ
"Great, I knew that Brother Zixuan had a way!" Guan Yinping said happily, her innocent face was filled with a youthful color that could not be concealed, which looked like the commander of a large army.
"By the way, Brother Zixuan, I counted the captives this morning, and I actually found a strange-looking person, he almost scared me out when he looked up, it's a shame!"
"What kind of person is so ugly that he scares the commander of our army? Wait for Ben to go and cut down that guy. โ
Guan Yinping said ashamedly: "Don't mention it, it's a Hu man, there is no blood on his face, a high nose bridge, a big beard, and the eye color is actually blue, just like a monster, Dad never told me that Hu Ren used to look like this." โ
How can there be Hu people in Xiangyang City? And listening to the description, it's still a standard Europa face. This is a sought-after commodity in later generations, I don't know how many girls fall for this face, but in this era, this is a standard monster look, no wonder Guan Yinping is not afraid to be scared by this guy.
Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go, I'll go see that Hu man." โ
Guan Yinping hurriedly said: "It's just a trivial matter, we just laid down Xiangyang, and there are still a lot of things to deal with, what does that Hu man do?" โ
Zhao Hao forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Scared the commander of our army, this is a big deal, other things, I have my own arrangements." โ
Zhao Hao beckoned to Wang Xi, who was in the fugue, and Wang Xi was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was calling him, and hurriedly ran over, saying, "What do you command?" โ
"You represent me and the silver screen...... No, it was General Guan San who went to Lu Mansion and asked them to hand over Lu Luan to me. Go to Kuaifu again, and ask the people who speak well to come and wait for my instructions. By the way," Zhao Hao suddenly remembered something, and said a little nervously, "Yinping, Zhuge Liang has several sisters, have you married into the Kuai family?" โ
Guan Yinping's eyes widened, and he said confusedly: "No, Uncle Zhuge only has one sister who married into the Pang family." โ
That's good, that's good. In the past, Zhao Hao heard Yeshi say that Zhuge Liang had a sister who married Kuai Qi, for fear that he would offend this famous big man by mishandling the Kuai family, since there is no such nepotism, hehe, then I can't help you.
After arranging to deal with the affairs of the two families, Zhao Hao personally visited Yu Ban and asked Yu Ban to assist Zhang Dare in arranging the city defenses, and specially said that this was to prevent Cao Cao from knowing that Yu Ban had fallen to his side, otherwise he was even willing to let Yu Ban directly take over the defense of Xiangyang. Yu Ban trembled excitedly, tears were about to fall, and he hurriedly swore that he would do a good job and ensure that Xiangyang would be made like an iron bucket.
Pang De sneered weirdly on the side, and Zhao Hao also gave full play to the principle of waste utilization, and asked him to go with him to meet the Hu man.
The Beiwei army was a group of prisoners of war not long ago, but now they can capture so many enemies, the morale of the soldiers is high, and the spirit is shaking, under Zhao Hao's arrangement, they did not nuรจdร i this group of people, but pulled them to the military village outside Xiangyang City to be strictly guarded, these prisoners of war were all trembling, and they did not know what was waiting for them.
A few people were just about to enter the prisoner of war camp, and Wang Xi, who had returned from delivering the letter, came on a fast horse, rolled in front of everyone with a grunt, stretched out his arms and said anxiously: "You can't go in, when I escorted them, I saw that many of them were infected with the plague, and the general must not risk going in." โ
"The plague?"
"Yes, to be specific, it should be cold malaria, and a few people are playing so hard that they can't move." Wang Xi's face was swollen and red, his face was full of anxiety, "This cold malaria attack, it is really incurable, I have tried the ancient prescription, but I still haven't found any good way." The general is the soul of our army, and if he is infected with this disease, the consequences will be unimaginable. โ
Malaria Zhao Hao was not afraid, he said with a straight face: "Yinping, you wait, I'll just go in by myself." โ
Guan Yinping said anxiously: "Brother Zixuan, I shouldn't have told you about this...... If you get malaria in the army, why take the risk? โ
Zhao Hao smiled: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Well, General Pang is also waiting here for a while. โ
Pound sneered: "You're not afraid, what am I afraid of?" โ
As he spoke, he strode in, Wang Xi trotted all the way behind, seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhao Hao, he laboriously took out a small roll of bamboo slips from his cuffs, and said, "If you have to go in, you need to prepare some medicinal materials today." โ
Zhao Hao asked casually, "What is this?" Do you usually carry such a heavy thing with you? โ
Wang Xi blushed and said: "This is a medical book written by myself, it is not perfect, when I am old, when General Zhao worships the general, he will pass on this book to the world for me." โ
Pound snorted unabashedly and said, "General? Miracle Doctor? You two are really delusional. โ
"What's the difference between people who don't have dreams and you?" Zhao Hao took the bamboo slip, and saw that it was densely written with all kinds of handwriting, all of which were Wang Xi's experience in practicing medicine all the time, although he couldn't understand it, he still nodded again and again, and said: "What is this book called, I'll ask General Guan to promote it for you." โ
"Hehe, it's called "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", and I haven't finished writing it yet...... Ouch, what did you do to beat me, General! โ
"Damn, bragging doesn't follow the Basic Law, Lao Tzu can't beat you to death!"
