After the news of the capture of Longzhou City came, the whole army was jubilant, and I then ordered the whole army to rest for one night, and the next day I divided my troops to take Yanzhou City

But the next evening, just after receiving the news of the capture of Yanzhou City, I had not had time to rejoice, and a very bad news reached my ears

"What?? There are a lot of soldiers in the army who are diarrhea? And it's happening on a large scale?! "I don't trust my ears at all" What's going on? Since when? ”

"Your Majesty, this matter started at noon today, and soldiers began to have diarrhea one after another, and the generals of the various armies did not care about it at first, but at the beginning of the afternoon, a large area of soldiers began to have diarrhea, according to statistics, more than 40,000 soldiers in the whole army began to diarrhea," said Shi Chululi, the marching commander

"Have they eaten anything this morning or noon?"

"No, the food of the whole army is the same, but according to the soldiers who did not have diarrhea, they have not drunk water for a day today."

"Drink water? Our soldiers drank raw or boiled water. ”

"Raw water is drunk directly from the river."

"Let's go, go to the barracks with me" said that it was a barracks, but in fact, most of them were private houses, before our army was about to attack Hongzhou City, its defenders opened the door and fled, and almost all the civilians also fled, so the army lived directly in these vacant houses after entering the city

After arriving at the barracks, there was already a great stench, and there was soldier excrement everywhere, I looked around inside, and then walked out and said to Chu Luli

"Commanded to go down, and until the order is given, no one shall drink water, including me, and carry it out immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Lu left to receive the order

"Lu Junyi, order the three armies to strictly guard against these three cities, all the garrisons outside the city enter the city, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the city at will without an order."

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

"Wu Song, put a pot up, fill it with water, and light a fire to boil."

"Yes."

Soon a marching pot was propped up, and in a short time the water in it was boiling, and I found three soldiers and instructed Wu Song, "Give each of the three of them a bowl of water." ”

No one knew what I was doing, but out of trust in the Emperor, they did it anyway. After the three bowls of water were divided among the three soldiers, I said to one of them, "Drink it," and the soldier did not hesitate to drain all the bowls of freshly boiled water, and then stood there waiting for my orders. After about a cup of tea, the water in the soldier's bowl had probably turned lukewarm, and I said to the other soldier, "Drink it," and after about ten minutes, when the water in the bowl was almost completely cold, I asked the last soldier to drink the water from the bowl, and then stood there and observed their condition

"Today's soldiers, how long does it take to drink water before they have diarrhea," I asked Bo Wu, the marching master, about how long it took to have diarrhea

"Back to the emperor, for about a quarter of an hour, the soldiers first had some stomach cramps, and then they began to have diarrhea." Wu Yong replied that in ancient times, there were twelve hours in a day, and one hour had four quarters, that is, about half an hour now.

"Hmph, damn the Tangut people, I have to kill all the Qiang people of the Dangxiang clan, otherwise it will be difficult to end the hatred in my heart" The evil fire in my stomach rushed straight up, not thinking that the army I brought was the invader.

Seeing that about an hour had passed, I said to the three soldiers, "How are you three feeling?" There is no uncomfortable feeling. ”

"Back to the emperor, no," the three of them said to me in unison

"None? That's great! Lu Li, find a team of 1,000 people, let people boil water in a cauldron, and distribute it to them, if no one has diarrhea, then the whole army can drink water. I said to Chu Luli with some excitement

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will arrange it."

After watching Chu Lu leave, I looked at the sand table in front of me and said to Lu Junyi and Yue Fei: "Delu (Lu Junyi's character is apocryphal), Pengju (Yue Fei's character), are you talking about this matter too strangely." ”

"Yes, the emperor, the minister thought that this matter should be done by the Western Xia, they must have done this to stop our army from advancing, and these diarrheal soldiers of our army are now ineffective, if the Western Xia will kill them, our army will be in danger, fortunately, God bless my emperor, so that my emperor can find that boiling raw water can crack this poison, it is really my emperor's wisdom."

"Hahaha, who says that you are stupid in the future, I will slap his mouth for you, you are stupid, you are stupid, you are stupid, you can still be so proficient in slapping sycophants, hahaha." My words caused Yue Fei and Wu Song to laugh, but they made Lu Junyi embarrassed

"Your Majesty, after testing, the soldiers who drank boiled water did not have symptoms of diarrhea again." Chu Luli came back and said to me, but I didn't have time to be happy, he continued, "But those soldiers who have begun to have diarrhea can't stop diarrhea, and the imperial doctors who accompany the army have tried all their methods, but it doesn't work, and the minister is worried that after a long time, these more than 40,000 soldiers will ......."

"So what do you say?"

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that there is someone who may be able to cure this disease." Wu Yong said

"Ao, Aiqing talk about it."

"Your Majesty, this person's name is An Daoquan, a native of Jiankang, Jiangsu (now Nanjing), this person opened a medical center in Jiankang City, known as a miracle doctor, and some people even jokingly called him Saihuatuo"

"Wu Song, you quickly go to Jiankang City and invite An Daoquan to come!" After listening to what Wu Yong said, I immediately sent Wu Song to invite An Daoquan

"Obey the order," Wu Song bowed and turned away
