Chapter 402: When the Miasma Demon Comes, Sacrifice to the Heroes
Riding a bull far past the former village, the piccolo blows across the Longwen.
How many Chang'an fame and fortune customers, the organs are not as good as you.
During the march, there were still leisure poets, and only Huang Tingjian was the only one. He is really bored these days, Yang Yi recruited him as a secretary, but since he set off from Guizhou, he has not said ten words to him, let alone told him to do anything.
There was a secretary in the army, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and Huang Tingjian couldn't intervene at all. This also gave him more time to observe Yang Yi as a person.
Yang Yi is famous all over the world and is known as invincible. After Huang Tingjian paid close attention to observation these days, he felt that Yang Yi was just like this, just a vain name.
The south of Yongzhou fell into the hands of the enemy, and Yang Yi did not go all out to move his army south in order to recover the lost territory; On the contrary, he took care of some details, such as requiring the soldiers to take a bath every day, drink medicine every day, smoke mosquitoes and repel insects every night, and wait for a group of vulgar martial artists in every detail. There were 30,000 troops with 300 healers, and among them there were many women.
Since ancient times, when the army fights, it is the most taboo of yin qi, Yang Yi actually ignored these taboos and let the woman follow the army for medical care. That's it, what's even more ridiculous is that tens of thousands of people are often ordered to take off their clothes on the road and wipe each other's bodies, although there are no people in the mountains and wilderness for dozens of miles, but tens of thousands of people are doing this on the road, if Huang Tingjian hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this was actually done by Yang Yi, who is famous all over the world.
From the beginning of the meeting, he only saw Yang Yi give two orders:
One is to let Su Qingliang, the fourth general of Guangxi, recapture Guizhou at all costs, and not take it back.
The other is to order the heads of all departments to rush to Pennsylvania before the fifth day of the seventh month, otherwise they will send troops to conscript.
In these two orders, Huang Tingjian only saw stubbornness, stupidity, ignorance, and arrogance.
Su Qingliang has no more than 10,000 soldiers, to attack a city that is also defended by 10,000 people, and to recover it within a time limit, isn't this forcing people to commit suicide?
What is even more ridiculous is that the people of 44 states, 5 counties, and 11 Dongtou were ordered to rush to Pennsylvania within half a month, otherwise they would send troops to conscript. First of all, no matter whether the time comes in time or not, even if you have time, you should be the head of these tribes are all officials of the academy? You can scold as much as you want?
If this is the case, the imperial court would have already sent officials to govern these states and counties, so why should they still take a restrained policy?
Yang Yi coerced these clan leaders at this time, and only forced these tribes to the opposite side, Ruan Zhishun's 100,000 army also stole south of Kunlun Pass, and Yang Yi made new enemies, isn't this stupid and ignorant, what is arrogant and arrogant?
Huang Tingjian sighed secretly, but he is now an exile, and these facts are powerless to ask, let alone dissuade, because he has "riding a bull far beyond the front village, and the piccolo blows across the Longwen." How many Chang'an fame and fortune customers, the organs are not as good as you. Exclamation.
He didn't know why Yang Yi wanted to take him with him, but no matter what, it was better not to mess with such a stubborn person; After sighing, Huang Tingjian slowly walked back to the big tent, ready to perform his duties as a "clerk": continue to be in a daze!
When I returned to the outside of the tent, I happened to hear Yang Yi's voice from inside.
"How's it going?"
"Lord Hui, there are currently 183 people with miasma symptoms, and the mild ones have weakness in their limbs, pale lips, and internal heat. In severe cases, diarrhea and flushing are present, and the symptoms vary from person to person. ”
"Did you prick it with a needle as I said?"
"Some people have reduced their symptoms, but some have little effect. In addition, from the south of Guizhou, 21 people were bitten by poison, and 14 of them died after ineffective treatment. ”
"What's the matter, didn't you let the soldiers take the realgar?"
"This ...... Back to adults, although realgar has the effect of driving away poisonous snakes, some soldiers directly stepped on poisonous snakes and were bitten. There are also poisonous spiders, scorpions and other poisons, which are really hard to prevent. ”
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Hearing this, Huang Tingjian hurriedly stepped to the side of the road, only to see Yang Yi hanging a treasure knife on his waist, followed by Yu Xing and a few guards, striding out of the big tent.
Yang Yi glanced at Huang Tingjian and said lightly: "If Huang Tongju is fine, stay in the big tent, it's best not to walk around." ”
After Yang Yi finished speaking, he ignored him, walked to his war horse, jumped up, and galloped away with a group of guards.
Huang Ting quietly watched the number of horses go away, he didn't know what it was like, if he hadn't heard the conversation in the tent, he must have thought that Yang Yi was restricting his personal freedom.
Yang Yi came to the patient's isolation area, first took a betel nut, then put on a mask, changed clothes, and then went in, dozens of tents were set up inside, each tent was three feet apart, many medical staff were busy inside, they also put on masks according to Yang Yi's requirements, and they had to change their clothes when they left the camp, and smoke their whole body with drugs such as realgar and atractylodes before they could come out.
Yang Jie, the imperial doctor in charge of the quarantine area, saw him coming and hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Yang, why are you here?" ”
"Let's go, go in and have a look."
Yang Yi entered the patient's tent, the tent was filled with the smell of medicine, the left and right sides were made of bamboo and wood, each tent housed two patients, the tent sergeant saw Yang Yi come to visit in person, and wanted to get up and salute, but because of the low back pain and weak feet, he really couldn't move, so he had to say on the bed: "Dashuai, why are you here, I'll wait for nothing, Dashuai or leave quickly......"
"Since it's okay, why don't I come and see you?" Yang Yi stepped forward and touched the foreheads of the two of them, both of them were hot.
"How does it feel? Yang Yi asked.
"Back to Dashuai, I just feel that my body is uncomfortably hot, my brain is dizzy, my chest is stuffy, my body is weak, and I want to drink water all day long."
Yang Yi helped them check their pulse again, and carefully told them to rest well, and then he came out of the account with Yang Jie.
"Imperial Doctor Yang, how are the symptoms of the others?"
Yang Jie, who is nearly forty years old and in good health, said: "Everyone's symptoms are similar, because the symptoms are different, in addition to the symptoms they just mentioned, some of them are dizzy, talking nonsense, headache or no pain, or no vomiting, red or frequent urine, black tongue and red eyes, and some even vomit blood. ”
Although less than 200 people are sick at present, the proportion is not very high, but if it cannot be treated, it will definitely have a serious impact on the morale of the army, who can guarantee that this kind of epidemic will not break out in a large area?
Yang Yi said with some bitterness: "Imperial Doctor Yang, in addition to the medicine I originally said, can you prescribe another prescription for the patient?" ”
Yang Jie replied: "Xiaguan opened a reconciliation soup, with Qianghuo 1 money, parsnip 1 money, ginseng 1 money, Chuanxiong 5 points, dried kudzu 5 points, cimicifuga 5 points, licorice 5 points, peony 3 points, nepeta 3 points, ginger, jujube water decoction. ”
Yang Yi thought about the medicine he dictated and thought it was good, so he continued: "Imperial Doctor Yang, if it doesn't work, you can try to bleed the patient's tongue and wrists with acupuncture, and if you have a headache and a swollen frontal horn, you can use acupuncture to bleed the tendons and veins of the two frontal horns." ”
"Yes, the lower official wrote it down."
"In addition, you try this recipe again, magnolia, patchouli, banxia, atractylodes, tangerine peel, and licorice are twenty yuan each, and ginger and jujube are also added to decoction, twice a day."
After Yang Jie wrote them down one by one, Yang Yi carefully checked the patients in each account with him before leaving.
The appearance of miasma inevitably affected morale, other diseases are good to say, miasma since ancient times thought to be a disease that makes people talk about the color change, the land of Lingnan is also regarded as a fierce place because of miasma, and the most severe punishment under the death penalty of the Great Song Dynasty is exile in Lingnan.
Fortunately, Pennsylvania is still a day away.
Pennsylvania is located in the heart of Guangxi, with hilly terrain and very little miasma. It connects Guizhou in the east and Liuzhou in the north, and is only dozens of miles away from Kunlun Pass, which is the intersection of north-south and east-west transportation.
Compared with other ethnic minorities, there are more people of the Zhuang nationality and they are more civilized, and they have basically accepted the direct jurisdiction and governance of the imperial court.
The servants are industrious and kind, the weaving skills are very superb, where the clothes and skirts are all taken by the five-color velvet, mixed with the weaving cloth for the shape of flowers and birds, the distance view is ingenious and dazzling, short-sighted and thick, strong people are expensive.
The brocade is most suitable for quilt covers, mattress tops, skirt ornaments, etc., in later generations, Zhuang brocade and cloud brocade, Shu brocade, Song brocade and called China's four famous brocades.
When Yang Yi's army entered the city of Pennsylvania, he did not see the beautiful brocade, and there were only four streets in the city, which had just been captured by Ruan Zhishun's army, and now although it has been recovered, the ruins of the city can be seen everywhere, and there are more soldiers in armor than the people.
After the siege of Liuzhou was lifted, Guan Yingqin, the third general of Guangxi who came here, led the crowd to greet him.
To everyone's surprise, Yang Yi did not even have a place to live after entering the city, and immediately led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to the south of the city to pay a grand tribute to the governors of Yong, Qin, and Lian who died in the invasion of Jiaozhi, the first general and the sixth general of Guangxi, and the Su family who died in the eighth year of Xining.
Huang Tingjian finally received his first task since he was appointed secretary of the march, to write a memorial text.
In an open space in the south of the city, the three armies stood solemnly, the flag was not raised, and the people of Pennsylvania came to watch the sacrifice.
Yang Yi took a group of officials to offer three animals, burned incense for worship, curled cigarette smoke condensed, the world was solemn, the three conjuring drums, the four fields were silent, Yang Yi tied Bai Ling around his waist, held the sacrificial text in his hand, and recited loudly:
In the second year of Wenchang, April 18. The barbarians entered our country.
Men, women, young and old, civil and military generals, were born in a national disaster and fought to the death in southern Xinjiang...... The sharp arrow pierced the bones, and the sand entered the face. The white blade destroys the edge, and the sea of clouds is red.
The host and guest fight, and the mountains and rivers are dizzy. The sound of the river, the collapse of thunder and lightning.
With the murderous spirit of the tomb, it is slaughtered by Xiangjian. Gonghong Hanzuo, deterring famine.
That's a lot to say! The drum is exhausted; The arrows are exhausted, the white blades are broken, and the two armies are in a desperate life-and-death decision.
Battle! Corpses fill the shores of Palembang and bloody caves. The birds are silent, the mountains are lonely, and the night is long and windy. The soul is knotted and the sky is heavy, and the ghosts and gods gather in the clouds...... Born to be a hero, to die to be a spirit. Haoran righteousness, eternal beauty.
The conjuring spirit followed and returned to the Central Plains together. Enjoy the spring and autumn forever, and Chang'an will be in a good place.
Yang Yi finished reading the sacrificial text aloud, sprinkled wine and bowed again, the three armies stood silently, and the general killing aura was condensed and formed, like a white sun, straight into the sky!
