After Yang Si returned to his residence, there were already people waiting here who couldn't wait to ask

"This soldier, Yang Du cares where and how"

"It's hard to say. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ。 ”

Yang Si's face turned around, but it was not so good-looking

"In this generation, there is only merit and allegiance."

"But there is no difference between righteousness and fame."

"But, fortunately, I still have a backhand."

Yang Si continued

"Anyway, this move has fallen in front of you."

"It's just that the other party is unconscious."

"In this way, if you move in the future, you will not be afraid that he will have nothing to do with it."

"This soldier, the Generalissimo's Mansion has a summons."

At this time, a voice was reporting from outside

"Let's go."

"What..."

Several people who were planning the follow-up indoors couldn't help but be taken aback

"Could it be that Yang Keshi has something wrong?"

A trembling voice in astonishment.

"This is...

"Don't mess with yourself."

Yang Si scolded the other party fiercely.

"I haven't revealed anything."

"What this soldier said is that even if the big camera is aware of it."

Another voice calmed down

"Those who came also came to capture the soldiers and horses. It's not a summons."

"I guess there's something important that needs to fall on this soldier."

A moment later, Yang Si got an answer at an impromptu meeting in the Ouchi Takeei Building.

"What... There is an epidemic in the army in the north of the city. ”

He couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Medicines and lime need to be allocated, and there is enough firewood and charcoal for emergencies."

"What is the origin of this, do you know clearly?"

Yang Si couldn't help but ask.

To be honest, he had vaguely heard of the backhands and arrangements that Zhang Shuye left in the south of the city, but he didn't expect that he would cross the barrier of Luoshui so quickly and spread to his own camp.

"Mainly concentrated in the troops responsible for raiding the west of the city."

"It is estimated that in the middle of the attack, I encountered the sick people of the south and was contaminated."

"At present, strict screening and quarantine have begun."

"As soon as it is discovered, the relevant people will be immediately sent to quarantine,"

"You need to prepare enough firewood and grease, and when things get out of hand, you can do the soldier's broken wrist."

Another privy envoy also spoke.

"In addition, there are also many soldiers under Yang Duguan's command, who have begun to show symptoms of fever and chills."

"Therefore, the rest of the troops have been ordered not to enter the city for the time being."

"Wudushu, who resides outside the Anxi Gate, is diagnosed and disposed of on the spot. Don't slack off. ”

。。。。。。

After passing through Shanzhou and entering the territory of the Guangji Army, the Guangji River, which was a branch of the lower reaches of the Wuzhang River, was seriously silted up, cut off and diverted, and could no longer provide our army with the convenience of river and water transportation.

After a short stop in Dingtao City to recuperate, load and unload heavy materials and equipment on the spot, leave a garrison battalion and a small horse team, and a number of people, and after establishing the third grain platform after Juye and Leize County, they continued to march west along the intermittent Guangji River.

Only then did we encounter real troubles and obstacles, and the speed of the march was drastically reduced;

It's just that it is not the expected enemy that has caused us trouble, after several disguised cleanups by large armies, the local Northern Korean forces along the way are really clean in the vast land;

Or the local Tu Regiments, Townsmen, and Volunteers, who defended the villages of Wubao, which could form a stumbling block in the direction of the march, or which were of some value near the roadside, had been broken, destroyed, and completely plundered.

So much so that on the ruins of the original site, although there are still some traces of human activity, it is unsheltered and unguarded.

Therefore, what can really cause us trouble is the bad weather in the hinterland of Henan, which is the so-called "July day, the child's face".

Obviously, when I swam over, the wind and the sun were still shining, and I couldn't wait for people to dry their sweat; As a result, in the blink of an eye, dark clouds overwhelmed thunder, and the ensuing heavy rain poured down, directly turning the whole world into a wet, damp, and non-stop dripping existence.

In addition, the road conditions are not very good, and because of the long-abandoned drainage system, the ground has become full of potholes and stagnant water; Even the men and horses and vehicles under my command can only slowly trek in the mud of different shades, and they can't get up quickly.

For a while, the field of vision was full of staggering figures in tarpaulins and rubber clothes, and even after I came back from a few rounds, I only felt that the legs between my legs were as heavy as a plumb sink, but the boots, stockings and trouser legs were soaked with rainwater, and the slightest movement was bubbling outward.

As a result, kitchen carts equipped with charcoal and stoves were also activated, and the fire was kept on all day and night; While using dried pepper dogwood and ginger slices to stew a hot soup to ward off cold and dampness, on the other hand, you can also take turns drying shoes and socks for nearby soldiers, maintaining the most basic marching ability.

This kind of weather, which is sunny and rainy, is undoubtedly a strict consideration for normal marching, and under the sudden alternation of hot and cold, the non-combat attrition rate along the way alone is enough to cause annoyance and headache.

Not to mention the 100,000 to 200,000 troops that are now at the forefront of the capital, as well as the support lines for logistical transportation, I am afraid that they will have to suffer from it and will not be able to launch an offensive.

According to some geographical, hydrological and climatic data collected by the exploration team along the way, it is clear that the protracted war has damaged the local farmland water system, and has gradually affected the composition of the local ecology and climate, bringing many negative effects and consequences.

You know, this is the Yellow River Basin and the hinterland of the Central Plains, which originated in ancient China, and it took many generations for thousands of years to tame nature into a granary of the Central Plains with a stable climate and abundant products with a criss-crossing irrigation system.

The current situation of the Yongji Canal, which was originally used as a main road for Cao Yun and transported the wealth of the southeast and Jingchu to the two capitals, is the best portrayal.

Walking along the riverbank, there are traces of flooding left by the river after the river burst its banks and diverted its course, and some sections of the river that are seriously silted up have even produced puddles and berths that have flooded the road one by one due to heavy rains for several days.

Therefore, just in the territory of the Yongji Army, it took our army a whole day to be able to get out.

After entering the higher terrain of Caozhou, and after passing Jiyin City, the road condition was slightly better, because there were still some remnants of the hardened roadbed of the straight road left in the previous dynasty, and the transportation team that had walked before was simply repaired.

Although it is still wet and unbearably slippery and covered in mud and dust, at least you don't have to try your luck in the puddle with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

In just a few days, the mules and horses that pulled the artillery wagons suffered a great sin, because the losses caused by slipping or detaching in mud puddles and puddles were at least sixty or seventy.

The engineering regiment with the army was also the hardest, they needed to accompany the vanguard of the road to dig and fill in the past, and if they encountered a rough and difficult road section, they also had to use all kinds of materials at hand to temporarily lay a simple passage that was convenient for the brigade to use.

Of course, it is different from the hasty march in the first Northern Expedition, and the harsh winter and snow scenery that later retreated for thousands of miles;

This time, after a few years, I finally had the time and mood to get a glimpse of the summer and autumn scenery of Zhongzhou, the world's Zhongzhou, Henan Province, with the gradual clearing of the weather.

Although the traces of war are almost everywhere, the corresponding historical relics and the resulting historical allusions are also everywhere, and the number of people is innumerable.

Especially after passing through Dongming City and entering the territory of Bianzhou, this kind of passive archaeological encounter is more and more numb; or even a stone stake with an inscription dug up in front of a small river on the way of marching; may be related to a famous battle in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, or the story of a capable minister in the Qin and Han dynasties;

At the confluence of various water systems such as the Cai River, the Jin River, the Huimin Canal, the Baigou River, and the Bian River, in the old Bianzhou City, where I revisited the old place, my own formation set up the fifth grain and Taiwan courtyard, and at the same time, I also saw the news of the liaison horse team sent by the advance force, as well as the news of the new defeat of the former military station.

Well, it's really quiet and the wind doesn't stop. The defeat of the former army is not only that, it is said that there is also a lot of repercussions within the middle route army, and there are some public opinion and weak rumors of linkage.

Although, there are various reasons and inside facts in this, which can be used as the basis for rhetoric and prevarication; But in the eyes of most people, defeat is defeat; No amount of justification can change the Huaidong-style firearms warfare method, and it is the first defeat of the establishment system since the formation of the army.

Therefore, instead of rushing to continue the march, I stopped for a short rest on the pretext that I needed to rest after a long journey, and then hastened to inquire about the news ahead.

At the very least, the attitude and stance of the front-line commander are very important. This is not my frightened bird, but I would rather judge and deal with the situation with the worst outcome and intention.
