Chapter 12: The Boy (2)

"Uncle, uncle, now, it's going to be dark soon!" Yeluchi's mouth was wide open, and he reminded cautiously for a while. [No pop-ups. 】

"When the brothers were taken prisoner, they suffered some cold. Many, many people are having a fever, and if they are forced to march overnight, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will, it will be worse! Han Dexin followed his brother, wiping his nose with a towel while "truthfully" reporting the difficulties he was facing.

Although spring has already begun, the weather in the mountains is still very cold. Especially after the sun goes down, the night wind immediately becomes like a small knife, piercing people's bodies, and no matter how thick the clothes are, they can't stop it.

And another fact that the brothers were embarrassed to talk about was that when the brothers were captured, they were shamelessly looted by the villagers of Lijiazhai. The armor and thick clothes all over the body were detained by the hillbillies as trophies. From the day they were replaced, most of them started burning one after another. Although the severity of the illness varied, on the whole, it was no longer possible to march long distances. Unless, unless the two of them don't mind the lives of the people in the slightest.

"Hmm-" Han Kuangmei stroked his beard and muttered in a low voice.

The Han family has just replaced the Zhao family and become the master of Youzhou. If you want to be rich and prosperous for a long time, you must first please the emperor of Liao, and secondly, you must get the full support of the Han people in Youzhou. The two complement each other and are indispensable. Therefore, he had previously praised his two nephews for embezzling military funds in exchange for prisoners. And if this group of soldiers who spent a lot of money to redeem them are reborn and frozen, it will run counter to the long-term interests of the Han family. As one of the heads of the family, he should not have done such a foolish act no matter what.

Thinking of this section, Han Kuangmei put down her arm and gently tapped the handsome case with her knuckles: "Tuk tuk, tuk tuk, tuk tuk...... or not, then let everyone rest for a night, and set off to go down the mountain after sunrise tomorrow." You two, after going down, try your best to reassure them, and just say, just say, the old man thought that everyone had worked hard for many days, and only then did he allow them to go out of the mountain to recuperate. During this period, each person was given 500 yuan to suppress the shock. If you want to buy things and spend them, you should ask someone to send them home, and let them do as they please! ”

"Uncle Xie!" Yelu Chi Dog and Han Dexin were overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down again.

"Go down and rest, you two have worked hard these days! I remember to find Lang Zhong to open a few soups and drink them, I am also a general, and I wipe my snot all day long, and I don't feel cold! Han Kuangmei waved his hand and sent the two brothers away. In my heart, I felt more and more uneasy.

As a seasoned veteran, he already instinctively sensed some kind of danger approaching him quickly. But what exactly is this danger? Where did it come from? He just had an instinct but couldn't tell.

Dealing with military affairs, enjoying food, and inspecting the camp with anxiety, it was not until the second half of the night that Han Kuangmei fell asleep exhausted. However, it didn't seem to be long after he closed his eyes, he saw Zheng Ziming holding a steel whip and smashing his face towards him!

The close soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and the loyal and brave generals were again separated and surrounded by the enemy army, unable to turn back to protect each other. "Little dog, little Dezi!" With his bare hands, he was forced to the edge of the cliff by Zheng Ziming, and had to tear his throat and shout for help from his two nephews. saw that Yelu Chi Dog and Han Dexin jointly lifted a boulder and smashed it towards him. "Ahh

"Ahh

"Catch the assassin!" The soldiers on duty were taken aback, and quickly pulled out their steel knives and rushed in from outside. The two servants who were close to him also rushed forward with their swords and guarded them on the bed.

However, when they saw Han Kuangmei's pale face and godless eyes, everyone knew that their handsome man had a nightmare. Assassins don't exist, and the devil only hides in the hearts of people.

"Ahh Han Kuangmei was sneezed by the cold wind brought into the house by the soldiers. Snot and tears flowed down the water. Grabbing the cloth towel next to the pillow, he quickly wiped it. Then he put his fingers on his drowsy forehead and asked loudly, "What time is it outside, is there any unusual movement?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, it's been two o'clock, and the night is safe!" Han Chongwei, the head of the pro-soldiers, bowed down and reported in a low voice.

"Ah, I've slept for so long! Why didn't you call the old man to get up earlier! Han Kuangmei was taken aback, tilted her legs, and got out of bed with her clothes on. There was a feeling of soreness and weakness, which quickly spread throughout the body. He was stunned, and decisively held the edge of the bed with his other hand. "Pass the order, and all the generals will go to the Chinese army to discuss matters."

"Yes!" Han Chongwei did not doubt him, bowed down, and then went to the bedside to get an arrow, and left quickly.

"You all go down, and by the way, fetch a basin of hot water for the old man, so that the old man can clean his face and change his clothes." Han Kuangmei took down the hand on his forehead again, waved it calmly, and sent his soldiers and family members away.

We must hold on, the main general is the courage of the three armies. If he shows the slightest discomfort at this juncture, it will lead to chaos in the army's mind. In that case, it is difficult to climb to the sky if you want to take everyone out of the mountain safely and step on Lijiazhai and want to take everyone out of the mountain safely.

Fortunately, he usually does what he says, and he has a lot of prestige, so the soldiers and family members didn't think about it elsewhere. also agreed loudly, and turned around and retreated. Han Kuangmei gritted her teeth and persevered, gritted her teeth and worked hard, and finally held on until the door closed. Immediately, his arm trembled suddenly, "Wow! With a thud, he slammed into the wool collapse.

"Bitter!" rubbing her heavy forehead with her hand repeatedly, Han Kuangmei screamed in her heart. If you don't burn it in the morning, you don't burn it in the evening, and when you were about to lead the army to pull out the thorn in the eye of Li Jiazhai in one fell swoop, you preemptively launched the burn. And that Zheng Ziming has already defeated Yelu Chigou, Ma Yanxu, and Weizhen Dingzhou successively. If he, a veteran of a hundred battles, returns with ten times as many soldiers and horses, from now on, who will have the face to compete with him on the battlefield again?

"No, you can't go back. We must find a way to persevere to the end and insist on leveling Lijiazhai. Even if the old man goes out with a quilt, it is better than achieving the prestige of the Shi family's children! After thinking about it and weighing the weight repeatedly, Han Kuangmei sat up again and dressed up by herself.

The two henchmen who usually served him for food and daily life came back with hot water, heard the movement, and trotted in to serve. But he waved his hand to the side, and was not allowed to approach him. This was not done out of precaution, but because he firmly believed that when people are just sick, it is better to move their hands and feet more. Otherwise, the more you recuperate, the more your limbs will become weak, and in the end, it will be difficult to get out of bed.

It's a pity that his idea is very correct, and the self-help methods he uses are also in line with the medical theory of this era, however, the clothes that can be hooked up with just one finger are now as heavy as lead water, and each one weighs more than a thousand pounds. After changing into her underwear and poor pants, Han Kuangmei was so tired that her eyes turned black. The muscles in the thighs, calves, and arms trembled as if they had been poisoned by an unknown poison.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck......" There was a brazier in the room, and the fine carbon in the brazier was also billowing red. Han Kuangmei made a swing, and her upper and lower teeth kept tapping. The two henchmen were so frightened that they rushed forward to help, this time, Han Kuangmei didn't dare to hold on alone, so she let the two of them support her body, and while lying on the bed, she muttered: "Don't, don't tell anyone." Otherwise, the old man will not be able to spare you, go and please, go and invite the military to come. Quietly please, don't let anyone see it! ”

"Yes!" The family agreed, helped him to lie down on the bed, covered him with a thick quilt, and then turned to ask Lang Zhong. Before he could reach the door of the house, he suddenly heard "Bang Dong! With a bang, the door was slammed open from the outside. The pro-soldiers were all headed by Han Chongwei, and rushed in like a whirlwind. rushed to Han Kuangmei's bed in three steps and two steps, and without looking carefully, he opened his throat and reported loudly, "Dashuai, Dashuai, it's not good." Yeluchi, Yeluchi and Han Dexin all lay down. Nearly half of the brothers who stayed with them were bedridden. The room Wei Lang who accompanied the army suspected that it was an outbreak of the epidemic, please deal with it quickly! ”

"Epidemic?" Han Kuangmei "soared" and sat up from the bed suddenly, and his eyes were suddenly dark, his eyes were as if he was blind, and he couldn't see anything.

"You, you say it again, in the end, what's wrong? How did an outbreak occur? Groping with his hands, he grabbed one of the housekeepers by the shoulders. Then, without waiting for his vision to recover, he gasped and asked.

"Yes, yes, it's evil, serious, serious cold!" Only then did Han Chongwei discover the tragic appearance of his own coach. was so frightened that he shivered, forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said loudly, "Lang Zhong said that it was a serious cold, but it had already caused the evil of the times." It is necessary to divide the camp immediately and then distribute the medicine to prevent it from happening. Otherwise, it will surely spread to the whole army! (Note 1)

"Time evil? How could it break out when the evil broke out! Han Kuangmei rubbed her hand desperately on her forehead, and finally kneaded her blood and recovered her vision. However, his head was still groggy and less than one-tenth of his usual efficiency. "Most of the people who stayed in the camp have already fallen down. Hiss, how can this be, don't come early, don't come late......"

Whether it's evil or a serious cold, it's not a fatal disease. The light ones are five or six days, and the heavy ones are half a month, and you can survive even if you don't take medicine. But while the two armies were fighting, suddenly an evil broke out in the camp of one side. If the news is known to the other party......

"No, come on, block the camp gate, and strictly prohibit anyone from going out to pick!" With a throb of heart, he made a decisive decision. It is imperative to keep secrets, not to let the enemy know, and not to give the surname Zheng an opportunity to take advantage of. As for whether to stay in Taojiazhuang and recuperate in close seclusion, or to withdraw from the mountain immediately, it is calm......

"No ——!" While thinking about how to deal with it, suddenly, Han Kuangmei's eyes flashed the scene of her two nephews wiping their noses and expressing their merits to herself, and she couldn't help but let out a miserable scream in her mouth. "Drumming, drumming. No matter who it is, no matter if you are sick, it is still better, as long as you still have a breath, the commander and above will all go to the Chinese army to discuss matters. If the three drums don't come, the military law is ruthless! ”

Note 1: Shixia and severe cold are both traditional Chinese medicine expressions, referring to severe colds. Cold viruses have a short incubation period and violent outbreaks, but they are usually not fatal after taking ancient Chinese herbal medicines. Because medicine was extremely underdeveloped, there was a record of mass lethality in ancient Europe.
