"Poof!"

With a muffled sound, Chen Zhaoming slammed his head on the ground.

"Your Highness, how can you go there! The last general is willing to serve His Highness! ”

Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, but whether it is a military situation or a flood, even if it is dangerous, it is not impossible to prevent it.

However, in this ancient period when medical treatment was extremely poor, such a thing as plague has always been without a cure, and the easiest and most effective way to deal with it is to bury those infected alive.

Before, whether Xia Huan was repairing the river embankment or going out of the city to save people, Chen Zhaoming did not hesitate at all. That's because the people around Xia Huan will definitely protect his safety, and they are not as dangerous as they imagined.

However, the plague is invincible, and no matter how many people are sent to guard it, it is useless.

Faced with Chen Zhaoming's request, Xia Huan just said lightly: "Zhaoming, you know me." ”

After speaking, Xia Huan whipped his horsewhip fiercely and headed towards the nearest workshop.

Originally, although the people in the north of the city knew that the recent days might be extremely difficult, they still had hope in their hearts.

But now the plague came. It's not that they don't know what it means to have a plague.

One person fell ill, and the whole village was slaughtered. Such a thing, in the Warring States period, was nothing new.

Panic has become a greater enemy than the plague.

When the soldiers come, they can hide, when the water comes, they can hide, and when the plague comes, they still want to hide. Only, who would want to take them in?

"Drive!"

Outside a workshop, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

"I am the king of Yingshang, and everyone in the workshop listens. There are no sick people in the family, gather in the south of the fang, and if there are sick people, relatives put them in the north of the fang, waiting for the return of the king! ”

Xia Huan almost roared, but the sound of horses' hooves and the somewhat messy footsteps made none of the people in the tents and dilapidated houses willing to come out.

Xia Huan's reputation is good in their hearts. However, this does not mean that they are willing to believe in Xia Huan.

Here they are, too, sick. pushed others by themselves, not only did they not believe Xia Huan, but they thought that Xia Huan might have come to kill them.

After waiting for a long time and not reacting, Xia Huan could only curse secretly in his heart.

However, Xia Huan did not give up because of this.

"Disperse at once, and inform every workshop of all this, as I said before. Benjun needs to go back to the county seat to arrange matters first! ”

"Whoa!"

Compared with those people who just had a good feeling, Chang Xiujun, who had only followed Xia Huan for less than a month, had already habitually received his orders.

Because Xia Huan was delayed in the workshop for a long time, by the time Xia Huan returned to the city, martial law had begun in the city.

Although the people talked about the plague, fortunately, the plague was not found in the city for the time being. Therefore, the panic is not as big as imagined.

Chen Zhaoming's style has always been vigorous and resolute, not to mention, this time it will even affect Xia Huan's net worth.

Therefore, in just one hour, Chen Zhaoming almost gathered all the doctors and men of the medicine hall in the city in front of the North City Gate.

Of course, it is better to say that it is an gathering, than to coerce, and there is no even the most basic inducement.

"Well done." Seeing the doctors and doctors who were trembling under the sword, Xia Huan did not ask for a trace of mercy for them.

When the sun was about to set, Yu Meng and the Changxiu soldiers who had originally passed the word according to Xia Huan's order also returned.

However, the Changxiu army, which was more than 1,000 people, gathered at the gate of the city, and everyone did not say a word.

"To the north of the city, on the land behind you that has just receded from flooding, the plague is rampant. According to the laws of Taizu, the feudal monarch guards one side, and deserves to die in the community, bow for the country, and be loyal to His Majesty! Today, this monarch will go to the difficulty, this monarch, allow you a chance, a chance to stay. If you're afraid of death, you can come out! This gentleman swears by heaven and will never be embarrassed! ”

Xia Huan's words were loud, and he did not hesitate to use Xia's reputation as a guarantee.

As the saying goes, war is the fastest way to train troops. Although the current flood is not as good as the military disaster, it has also made these long-sleeved sergeants have a trace of discipline.

However, it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil. The loyalty and discipline that could not completely bind people's hearts were not enough to make them truly forget about life and death for Xia Huan.

According to the previous agreement between Xia Huan and them, anyone who participated in the disaster relief would get some land at home. It's not too much, but it's definitely no problem to feed a family.

With no worries, who wants to take such a big risk and give it another try?

Finally, after weighing it, someone stepped out.

With the first taking the lead, there will naturally be the second, the third.

Soon, among the more than 1,000 Changxiu troops, more than 100 people walked out. Moreover, this momentum is still getting bigger and bigger.

The environment can always affect people, especially under the general trend, people's beliefs are more likely to be shaken.

If this continues, it won't be long before there aren't many people.

"Your Highness!"

Suddenly, among the remaining more than 800 Changxiu troops, a rough roar came.

This voice made everyone can't help but turn their eyes to him.

"Poof!"

Yu Meng, who was on the back of the tiger, knelt down heavily, lowered his head, and said in an urn voice: "Your Highness, before you come to this Yingshang, the last general will only eat and wait for death all day long." His Highness came down and gave the last general a chance. This is the grace of knowledge! His Royal Highness rewarded us with land and gave the general's family land to cultivate, and on this Ying, it is the grace of self-reliance! There is nothing to repay in the end, but to repay His Highness with a mere remnant of his life! The last general has no worries, and the soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, even if we are vulgar people, this is also the case! I hope Your Highness will not humiliate me in this way again! ”

After Yu Meng finished speaking, he turned over and got on his horse, and shouted loudly: "I am willing to drive forward for His Highness!" ”

I have to say that Yu Meng is indeed thick and fine. After some impassioned words, Sergeant Changxiu, who was originally hesitant, immediately became a little firmer.

Those who have already stood up are blushing and ashamed to see people.

The ancients' festival of death, especially the grace of knowing the encounter, is almost no less than the grace of saving lives. Under the general trend, it is by no means comparable to the mouthful Cheng Zhu Lixue of later generations.

To serve the country is to be disloyal; It is unrighteous for the Lord to use his life, and to be greedy for life and fear of death; If you don't repay your kindness, you will be insulted, and you will be unfilial.

The three virtues are lacking, that is, parents, wives and children disdain to live with them.

It can be said that if today's events are spread, I am afraid that those who stand up will not be able to gain a foothold in the future.

"Your Highness, don't humiliate me again!"

As Yu Meng was willing to die generously and set an example, many of the remaining more than 800 people also raised their voices.

Even, many of those who have already stood up have run back. In the end, only a few dozen people were standing outside.

Yu Meng has already set up a platform for Xia Huan, and Xia Huan naturally will not dismantle his own platform.

Turning over and getting on the horse, Xia Huan glanced at Chang Xiujun, who had a very different spirit, and shouted one after another:

"The only child in the family is out of the ranks!"

"Those who have young children in the family are out of the ranks!"

"Father and son are in the army, father is out!"

"If the brother is in the army, the brother is out!"
