Chapter 69: The Times Changed Dramatically
"Time is not waiting for me." After seeing the instructions of the imperial court, Gao Shide couldn't help but sigh to the sky.
"General, I think this matter is promising, and now the thief is fierce, so let others touch the head of the wax mold. The general lives in Pingjiang Mansion, and the tower near the water can sit on the wall and watch the battle. When the time comes, they will attack brazenly, and they can be drawn in a battle. The one-eyed dragon played the role of his military advisor this time, not only comforting Gao Shide, but also giving a general strategy by the way.
"That's it! Now the anti-thief trend is so strong, and it can't be eliminated overnight. Now the plan can only be like this, people come to spread the word that our army has ordered the whole house to be under martial law, and only allowed to leave but not enter. "Although this military order seems to be domineering, it is actually to prevent the infiltration of the thief army into Pingjiang Mansion.
But it's also strange to say, to follow this military order. The atmosphere of Pingjiang Mansion, which was prosperous in the past, suddenly changed, and I thought that the people of the four major families should come out to make a big fuss because of this, but the reality was unusually calm. With this military order, the number of people going out in the entire Pingjiang Mansion is decreasing day by day, and those who want to come in are directly driven away. The impact of Gao Shide's strategic approach has been huge, and the surrounding state capitals have followed suit. Inadvertently, it disrupted the penetrating tactical layout implemented by Fang La's side, and temporarily prevented Fang La's large-scale attack.
On the other hand, it made those refugees who fled from the occupied state capital nowhere to go, and for a time all the official roads were full of refugees who were not taken in. War is extremely cruel, to survive for a bite to eat. Refugees who had nowhere else to go had to flock to unexplored mountainous areas, passing along the way, and poaching and looting were happening all the time in order to survive. The plagued villages and towns, the ruined farmland, the buying and selling of children, and even cannibalism, the tragedy continued, and for a time the entire Jiangnan region could be said to be in a bad name.
All this happened unexpectedly, but he was powerless. Huge numbers of people starved to death in the wilderness, and the ensuing plagues and plagues began. In less than a month, the plague swept through most of the Jiangnan region. Neither the Pingjiang Mansion under the jurisdiction of Gao Shide nor the area occupied by Fang La was spared.
Fortunately, Gao Shide, as a traverser, still has some knowledge of this infectious disease. Take the initiative to promote masks and isolate patients. Gather all the doctors in the city, establish a patient isolation area, and agree to treatment. Quicklime is used to disinfect various sections of the road, and people burn vinegar in their homes to purify the air of germs. As soon as this edict was issued, the rice vinegar of the entire Pingjiang Mansion was fried. Many family chambers of commerce took the opportunity to raise the price, so angry that Gao Shide ordered a house raid and imprisonment. In troubled times, heavy canons should be used, and it is precisely because of Gao Shide's series of measures that the plague in Pingjiang Mansion was quickly controlled.
And the people in the occupied area of Fang La are not so lucky. This sudden outbreak of the plague caught him, the king of grass, off guard. By the time he reacted, the plague had spread to his army. In less than half a month, the hundreds of thousands of troops he had managed to gather had already lost most of them due to this plague. Even he himself was recruited because of his contact with the soldier who was suffering from the plague.
Fang La, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at less than half of his cronies standing in front of him. Two lines of old tears crisscrossed and wailed to the sky: "Could it be that the sky wants to kill me? ”
"The lord is relieved to recuperate, this is a natural and man-made disaster, and manpower is not expected. Our side is already like this, but it is conceivable that the Song Court thief army is not much better. Moreover, this plague came from their side first, so we don't have to worry too much about them attacking us now. As Fang La's valued confidant Ouyang Debao, he opened his mouth to comfort.
"Yes, the eldest brother should take care of his body first, and then take us to smash Huanglong, and the soldiers will come to Tokyo to arrest that Song Weijun." At this time, a female general under his command, holding a sword, said heroically.
"Okay, our rebels are united, as long as we survive this damn plague, we will definitely make the Song court thief army look good, and let the brothers follow me to Tokyo City to enjoy happiness." Fang La's eyes looked at his cronies firmly and said.
As they expected, the situation of the officers and soldiers who were ordered to go south to exterminate the anti-thieves was not very optimistic at this moment. The main general Guan Sheng is a brave and resourceful person, quite like his ancestor Guan Yu. At this time, he was in the prime of life, and he was in an important position in the army, which can be said to be full of spirit. It's a pity that the division is unfavorable, and as soon as the army arrived in Jiangnan, it encountered a plague that has not been encountered in a hundred years. can only camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River, unable to move.
And just here, Jiangnan has become a quagmire, and Shandong Shuibo Liangshan has revived, and there has been a big stir. Zhujiazhuang still did not escape the fate of being destroyed, and the Jin State established by the privet on the back began the battle to destroy Liao. The current Northern Song Dynasty can be said to be ethereal, with internal and external troubles, and turmoil. With the news coming from all walks of life, Gao Shide couldn't help but sigh that his butterfly was a small insect after all. In this era when the building is about to collapse, nothing can be changed, and a sense of powerlessness is still born from the depths of my heart.
However, there is also good news, the county lord of Dali, who has always been rude and willful, his cheap wife Duan Siya is pregnant. This can be regarded as giving Gao Shide, who is now anxious, a trace of comfort in his heart, after all, Lin Chong's wife, that is, the kid born to the Zhang family, who is now a concubine, according to Gao Shide, is the kind of Gao Ya before. Only Duan Siya is pregnant with the first child recognized by her inner soul.
"Lady, taste this fresh lychee sent from Lingnan." At this time, Gao Shide rarely had spare time in the mansion, accompanying Duan Siya, who was pregnant, to enjoy the sweetness of the world of these two people.
"Peel me." After just opening her mouth to eat a lychee, Duan Siya pointed to the lychee on the plate and said coquettishly.
This pregnant woman will become sentimental. At this time, Duan Siya has been married to Gao Shide for five or six years, and she has gone through ups and downs. The original brutality and willfulness have also improved, and I also understand that my man now really loves himself. Although there were some women who hid from themselves outside before, the women who were born in the princely family didn't understand what three wives and four concubines were, and they spoke hardly, but they had already accepted it in their hearts. Now I also know what the situation is outside, and how much pressure my husband is under behind him. As a woman, she can only silently provide support and control this family.
Looking at Gao Shide and Duan Siya in the courtyard, the two people standing in the corridor were in different moods.
"You see, how happy are Madame and the General now? So envious? "The one who spoke was the woman of the two, and she was not an outsider. It is Duan Siya's personal girl, that is, the fat woman who came with the marriage.
And the man she was talking to at this time was the iron sword that almost never spoke. As Gao Shide's bodyguard, he is lean, capable, serious and serious, but the cool-looking iron sword is extremely attractive to this fat girl who thinks of spring. As a killer, Iron Sword is in a state of high mental concentration almost all the time. The girl's posture was in front of him, where did he not understand the heart of this fat girl.
