On the official road

"Captain, after this pavilion, you will soon enter the Jiangyi territory!"

Zhou Liang pointed to a pavilion next to the official road where their group had passed, and turned his head to Yan Xing beside him.

Yan Xing looked at the slightly silent pavilion door, looked at the sky again, nodded, and ordered:

"Speed up the horses, everyone will rush back to the camp in Jiangyi at noon."

"No!"

Zhou Liang, Liu Qiao, Da Niu and the guards around him hurriedly agreed, and the group immediately accelerated their horses and rushed to the direction of the destination Daying.

Sitting on the undulating saddle, Yan Xing overlooked the fields on both sides of the road, and the wheat that was planted in the past year was now growing well, and it will soon enter the harvest season, although the grain harvested in this season is not much, and it is not enough to fill the gap in the land expenditure of Jiangyi and Linfen counties, but it is better than nothing, which is also the hope of those Qiantou who only settled down in the past year under the rule of Yan Xing, and persevered in the troubled years.

This trip to Anyi, although he was not able to obtain the support of Niu Fu and the assistance of the surname Anyi, but being able to contact Wen Xipei's family was also an additional gain, and Yan Zhi, Xi Zhicai and other resourceful people, before Yan Xing left, had also planned some emergency measures to make up for the shortage of heavy military expenditures in order to maintain the two-pronged policy of military and political in Jiangyi and Linfen.

In addition to the channels of the surnames of Niu Fu and Anyi, Jiangyi and Linfen also began to organize the displaced people attached to them to fish, hunt, gather wild vegetables and mountain fruits, turn over the loose soil, and grab the seeds of corn and millet under the initiative of Yan Zhi, in order to restore some of the agricultural production in the two places as soon as possible and alleviate the gradually increasing grain pressure in the future.

At the same time, at the same time, at the expense of purchasing as much food as possible, and then from the strong and powerful in Jiangyi, pledge a part of the grain, is an emergency strategy to alleviate the short-term food pressure, coupled with the Pei family headed by Wen Xi's surname and the strict overall planning of living within the means, optimistic estimates, in a short period of time, Yan Xing controlled Jiangyi, Linfen, finally there is no danger of running out of food.

However, although the crisis of food shortage has been temporarily resolved, another major crisis has quietly struck.

Camp in Jangyi

"Ji Qi, why are you here?"

Yan Xing, who hurried back to the camp in Jiangyi, couldn't help but jump his eyelids twice after seeing Yan Xing who hurriedly brought people over, and asked Yan Xing on the horse.

When Yan Xing left, the army pursuing Lian Jie was on the front line of the Baibo Valley, confronting several Baibo troops, Cao Yuan, Xu Huang, Zhai Hao three Sima, Ma Lin, Yan Xing, Wei Xuan, Meng Tu, Kui Tong, Niu Hu and others also led their own troops, listening to orders in the army, Yan Xing also deliberately left Xi Zhicai, holding his own military orders, and coordinating the overall situation in the army, so as to ensure the stability of the army and the deterrence of the opposite Baibo army.

On the Jiangyi side, Yan Xing asked Zheng Duo and Huang Po to mobilize and transport heavy grain and grass to supply military supplies.

But now, Yan Xing was not in front of the confrontation between the two armies, but returned to the camp in Jiangyi, which made Yan Xing have an ominous premonition as soon as they met, and faintly felt that the battle ahead seemed to have suddenly undergone great changes in the time he had left.

"Brother, if you come from afar, please rest in the tent first."

While Yan Xing saluted Yan Xing, he quickly glanced at Yan Xingxing, Yan Xing quickly understood, nodded, dismounted and handed over the reins to the guards, and then took Zhou Liang, Liu Qiao, and Yan Xing to walk quickly to the tent.

"What happened in the army?"

Yan Xing, who was walking in front, and Yan Xing, who was following behind, stepped into the boat in the tent, and immediately asked, his eyes were like torches, and he saw the solemnity on Yan Xing's face, and with his understanding of Yan Xing, he knew that something must have happened in the army in front of him.

Yan Xing paused, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly approached Yan Xing's side, and said in a low voice:

"Brother, there is an epidemic in the front army!"

"What?"

Rao is Yan Xing deliberately lowered his voice, and Zhou Liang and Liu Qiao, who were also listening in the tent, couldn't help but exclaim, after they exclaimed, they glanced at each other again, and hurriedly said to Yan Xing, who was standing:

"Captain, this matter is at stake for the safety of the army / not to be taken lightly-"

The two spoke almost in unison and at the same time, but before they could say a word, they were stopped by Yan Xing's strong gesture, Yan Xing's face was grim, and he continued to ask:

"Don't be impatient, when did this happen, how many soldiers in the army were infected, what is the situation, and have the doctors in the army confirmed that it is an epidemic?"

Although Yan Xing, who was standing still, did not exclaim in surprise like Zhou Liang and Liu Qiao, his impatience was overflowing, and from his series of questions and grim face, it can also be seen that the news thrown by Yan Xing in the army also caused an uproar in his heart.

"Two days ago, some sergeants fell ill one after another, there were dozens of people before and after, even Kui Junhou also fell ill, the medical craftsmen in the army diagnosed that it was indeed an epidemic, and the history of the drama army and Xu, Cao and other Sima then hurriedly blocked the news, at this time, only a few generals in the army knew that I temporarily returned to Jiangyi this time, that is, I was ordered by the history of the drama army, and privately convened the doctors and craftsmen of Jiangyi to raise medicinal materials for treatment, in case of the needs of the soldiers of the army."

After Yan Xing listened, his expression was still grim, now it was the time of summer, mosquitoes breeding, the source of the disease was complicated, and the rain was frequent, the clothing, food, shelter and transportation of the soldiers facing in front of him were easily infected with dirty and turbid things, although Yan Xing's army implemented the wartime medical and sanitation system, but the surrendered Baibo army prisoners, and the many displaced people who were attached to it, were still a huge source of disease, and a carelessness caused a disaster that affected the pond fish.

Xi Zhicai's current handling is safe, those sick sergeants must be isolated first, block the news, calm the morale of the army, and prevent the further spread of the epidemic and the panic caused by the epidemic in the army.

However, the epidemic can only be prevented, but it cannot be cured, it comes and goes without a trace, and the damage is very great, and the measures taken in front of him to prevent the further spread of the epidemic are far from enough, and the movements of the Bai Bo Army are also things that need to be paid close attention to, Yan Xing knows that these things are very important, he looked at Yan Xing and said quickly:

"This matter is related to the safety of the army, I will rush to the army first, you transport medical craftsmen and medicinal materials, and you must also arrive as soon as possible, go down and prepare."

"No."

After Yan Xing listened to Yan Xing's order, he quickly took the order and left, Yan Xing turned to look at Zhou Liang and Liu Qiao in the tent, and said:

"Yuanshan, Zigao, don't leak it out at this time, you can go back to your tent to rest first, and after eating, we will change horses and rush to the front army."

"No, no!"

Zhou Liang and Liu Qiao also hurriedly took orders and left.

When Yan Xing was the only one left in the entire big tent, Yan Xing moved his steps slightly, and he exhaled, feeling the sweat on the back of his neck flowing down his cervical spine.

At present, the food supply in the army is tight, Yan Xing leads by example, and the meals are also very simple, only corn and cakes, vegetable sauce, he has a lot of worries, and after quickly finishing the meal, he gathered Zhou Liang, Liu Qiao and the guards and others, and then rode out of the camp and went to the location of the army in front of Linfen.

···

Yan Xing and the others were lightly armed and fast, and after the group quickly crossed the Fenshui, they did not enter Linfen City, but rushed straight to the camp in front.

It took Yan Xing two hours to reach the camp in front, but he did not enter his own camp first, but rushed to the front line of the confrontation, inspected the arrangements of both the enemy and us, and then came to his own camp.

They appeared on the front line of the confrontation in a flash, and after a while, they were discovered by the scout cavalry of the Xiliang Army, and soon, from the camp, there was a team of fierce Xiliang cavalry led by Zhai Hao, riding out of the horse and coming to escort Yan Xing and his party back to the camp.

The news of Yan Xing's return to the camp soon spread to all the troops in the camp, and the Chinese army also sounded the drums of gathering generals, and Xu, Cao, Wei, Ma and other generals also heard the order and rushed to the Chinese army tent to participate in the emergency military meeting that was urgently convened.

The Lord will be in the account

Today almost the whole day is spent on horses, except for the noon rest and food, the rest of the time is in a hurry, Zhou Liang, Liu Qiao and other officials who accompanied Yan Xing are tired enough, but Yan Xing, the person in charge, is still not tired, his eyes are like a torch, and after he is neatly draped, he held a military meeting in the tent.

When all the generals unsheathed their swords and entered the account, Yan Xing's eyes swept away, and sure enough, except for Kui Tong's absence, the other generals had already arrived. Remembering what Yan Xing said earlier, Kui Tong, an old man in the army who had been following him since Liangzhou, was also infected with an epidemic, Yan Xing couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom in his heart, but he noticed that many generals in the account had gathered their eyes on him, Yan Xingcai tried his best to dispel the trivial thoughts in his heart, looked at the people in the tent and began to say:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the military meeting was held today, and it was the captain of this school who had already changed his route to inspect the layout of the enemy's camp when he came, and the enemy troops facing him had been defeated repeatedly and their morale was low, so they could take advantage of the situation to break it, so -"

"Military order!"

Yan Xing gave an order suddenly, and the spirits of the generals who were listening intently in the tent suddenly froze, Huo Ran got up, and the sound of the armor leaf shaking was endless, and they were ready to receive the order.

"Order Zhai Hao and Ma Lin to dispatch their headquarters to attack quickly, and clear the sentry posts set up by the thieves before dusk, we must make a large-scale attack on the same day, and the pressure on the thieves will not be relaxed for a moment!"

"No!"

Zhai Hao and Ma Lin took over the military order, immediately turned around and went out of the tent, gathered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and prepared to go out of the camp to attack the Baibo thieves.

The other generals looked at each other, they were all one of the few people in the army who knew that there was an epidemic in the army, and now they saw Yan Xing's appearance of being eager to march, but they were confused by Yan Xing's order, just as the others were about to receive the order, Yan Xing suddenly changed his style again, he slowly shook his hand, motioned for the other generals to sit down, and his tone was slightly low.

"What is the situation of each of the ministries?"
