Chapter 178: Battle of Mangzhou 5

Yingzhou City is separated from Mangzhou by two cities, there is an apricot forest outside the city, the fan leaves are green, and the 300,000 troops should all be camped on the spot to adjust, and the leader Wang Duwei will inevitably have a change in the northern line, and send people to bring the 180,000 troops who are in good health to Mangzhou, and the remaining 120,000 troops will be cultivated in situ.

At this moment, Wang Duwei was sitting in the main camp tent with five military doctors.

"Doctor, what's the situation now?"

The leader of the army, Doctor Meng, saluted and said: "Captain Yudu, the condition of most people is stable for the time being, but the disease sometimes recurs, and we dare not categorically say that it is okay..."

Wang Duwei's face was full of sorrow, and after a moment of silence, he said, "... If it drags on like this, we are all guilty of killing our heads! In any case, after everyone has put things in order, after an hour, let's go immediately!! ”

The five military doctors hung their heads helplessly, thinking to themselves, this is the only way to go...

"Newspaperβ€”" a small soldier hurried to the outside of the tent to report, "Captain! King Yi'an came with a holy decree!! ”

β€œοΌβ€ When Wang Duwei heard this, he strode over, lifted the tent and said in surprise, "King Yi'an?!! Before he could think about it for a few more moments, he heard the clatter of horses' hooves not far away!

"Drive! Drive! Phew-"Qi Ming, who is in the dust, leads Lu Jiu and Qi Yun, and can stop at the entrance and exit of the barracks!

Wang Duwei hurriedly trotted out to greet him: "I have seen the prince in my humble position!" ”

"Captain obeys!" Qi Ming dismounted majestically and took the holy decree handed over by Lu Jiu.

A group of people knelt down with Wang Duwei!

Qi Ming: "Your Majesty's decree is to order 300,000 reinforcements to arrive in Mangzhou as soon as possible!" No delays!! ”

Wang Duwei respectfully accepted the holy decree and said, "Obey the decree with humility!" ”

"Captain, please." Qi Ming took two steps forward, helped the other party up, and asked, "How is the situation in the army?" ”

Seeing that everyone got up, Wang Duwei waved his hand and asked, "Lord Wang, please tell me in the tent!" ”

"Mr. Qi, be optimistic about saluting, don't run around." Qi Ming followed Wang Duwei and said indifferently behind him.

Qi Yun lowered his head and glanced at the back of the prince, and said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Lu Jiu followed behind Qi Ming, and after the group entered the main tent, he consciously guarded the tent.

"Sir, please." A small soldier stepped forward to lead the way.

Qi Yun looked left and right, pretended to be generous, led the three horses, and followed the little soldier with a smile...

"Sir, the stables are ahead, all the way around, you have to let the horses rest well!" The creep pointed ahead.

Qi Yun brought the horses to the stable, and after the horses lowered their heads to graze, he looked sideways at the little soldier who had been respectfully lowering his eyes, and saw that the other party was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was honest... He thought about how to open the conversation, and unconsciously touched his ass with his left hand, which was almost torn apart... Hey! Count on it!!

"Oops..."Qi Yun put his right hand on the horse's back, secretly flicked one of the straps of the saddle, and whispered, "Oops... It's been a bumpy ride... My ass yo..."

Xiao Bing raised his eyes and looked slightly nervous: "Sir! What's wrong with you? ”

Qi Yun continued to wail: "Oops... Don't mention it! It's the first time I've ridden a horse for so long... Saddle it, it's too hard! ”

Seeing this, the little soldier stepped forward to check the saddle that belonged to Qi Yun, and found that one side of the saddle was not fastened tightly, so he familiarly straightened the saddle and said: "Mr.'s saddle is of the highest grade, and it is because it is not tied here, and the saddle is unstable, so Mr. is affected." ”

Qi Yun, who knew the truth, bowed his head and slandered his incompetence, and said with a smile: "Oops! Thank you, Mr. Bing!! ”

"Ahh The villain doesn't dare! Xiao Bing hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The prince respectfully calls you sir, and that is also Mr. villain!" The villain's surname is called. ”

"Oh, Little Summoner..."Qi Yun continued to laugh, "Hey! I'll have to go again, my ass is destined to bloom! I don't let people rest and rest...", he then said with a slight cry, "Huh? Do you have to march so fast? The soldiers who went out on the expedition were really hard..."

Xiao Zhao frowned and said, "Sir, the marching speed of our army is not fast... Many people in the army are not adapted, and we have lost a lot of time! ”

"Not adapted?" Qi Yun was slightly surprised, touched himself and said, "Oops, my butt hurts so much, will I also be unadaptable?!" ”

"......" Xiao Zhao sneered, "Sir, those soldiers who are not accustomed to the soil are tired, dizzy, vomiting, and diarrhea, and there is no butt pain like you..."

"No... No..."Qi Yun waved his hand, his face showing an extremely uncomfortable expression, "I have to let the military doctor take a look!" Where are the wounded soldiers? ”

Xiao Zhao smiled helplessly: "... Sir, please come with the villain. ”

Qi Yun followed Xiao Zhao to the camp for the wounded, and did not forget to twist his buttocks all the way, pretending to be in terrible pain! After entering the camp, he saw groups of wounded people lying on the military beds, some of them still vomiting, and they kept grunting...

Qi Yun whispered to Xiao Zhao beside him, "Why are they so serious?" ”

Xiao Zhao was puzzled: "Yes... In addition to the troops in remote areas, these 300,000 troops came from all over the country, and the armies from all walks of life accelerated all the way, and they were exhausted when they converged in Tonghe City... The brother who couldn't keep up with his physical strength was first weak, and then he vomited non-stop, good and bad! It's even worse when you come out of Tonghe City! A large group of people began to feel unwell one after another, in addition to vomiting and diarrhea... Plus you have to march, hey... Before the war was fought, they fell first! ”

"Tonghe City is separated from the capital by a Jinju... Geographically it's already considered north..."Qi Yun muttered, "... You just said that after starting from Tonghe City, the water and soil adaptation began to expand on a large scale? ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "Out of Tonghe City, the weather is cold, the air is dry, and many southerners can't stand it and fall a large piece!" ”

Qi Yun: "What about the northerners?" ”

Xiao Zhao thought back for a moment and said, "Northerners... There were about fifty people who were uncomfortable..."

Qi Yun said in his heart, it does seem like he is not adapted... But more than 100,000 people are uncomfortable because of this, and there is really nothing strange among them...

"Xiao Zhao, take me to the uniform to have a look!"

"Huh?" Xiao Zhao looked stunned and asked tentatively, "Sir, don't wait for the military doctor?" ”

"Ahh I want to borrow a piece of clothing to protect myself from the cold! Look at them! It's just that I haven't adapted to the alternation of cold and warm! I don't want to be as sick as they are...", and he shivered at the right time!!

Xiao Zhao smiled helplessly: "... Sir, please come with the villain. ”

After the two came to their destination, Qi Yun carefully checked the military uniform, picked up one and changed it on, and found that the quality of the clothes was acceptable, and there was no cutting corners... Wearing a military uniform, he walked around the tent twice, and after making sure that there was no problem, he twisted his ass again, and asked Xiao Zhao to take him around the camp with a lame excuse...

β€œ... Sir, please come with the villain. "Except for the military planes, Xiao Zhao smiled helplessly, and took Qi Yun to look everywhere...

In the main tent, Qi Ming drank tea while listening to Wang Duwei's report.

"The situation in the army is probably like this..."Wang Duwei looked at the prince's unhurried expression and said, "Lord, you see, when is it more appropriate for our army to set off?" ”

Qi Ming took a sip of tea and said suddenly: "This king is only conveying the holy decree, not supervising the army, and when to set off is decided by Wang Duwei." ”

"......" When Wang Duwei heard this, he looked at the five military doctors, and saw that the other party lowered his head, thinking that resisting the decree was a big deal, and slapped the table and said, "Without further ado, let's set off immediately!" ”

There was only a silence in response to Wang Duwei...

"There's no hurry." Qi Ming put down the teacup and poured a new cup of tea for each of the five military doctors.

"Don't dare!" Doctor Meng hurriedly took the teacup respectfully and thanked him again and again, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

The other four military doctors also thanked them again and again!!

Qi Ming said politely: "The 300,000 army marched to the northern front, the road is long, the task is arduous, and the five military doctors have worked hard!" ”

The military doctors didn't dare to say anything, looking at the more amiable appearance of the prince, the more trembling their hearts were, and failing to solve the disease of water and soil adaptation, isn't it their responsibility?!

Qi Ming: "Doctor Meng, this king also knows a little about medical skills, why don't you tell this king about the historical origin of the disease of water and soil adaptation, what are the allusions and anecdotes?" ”

"This..."Doctor Meng began to break out in a cold sweat, and he didn't say anything for a long time...

"Don't worry, you can think slowly~" Qi Ming showed his usual shallow smile, and his tone seemed to be gentle.

Wang Duwei unconsciously twisted his facial features, pondering King Yi'an's thoughts, and said in his heart, sure enough, His Majesty sent the treacherous Second Highness to come, and it was by no means a simple decree!!

"Oops... My ass, my legs... It's almost not mine..."An hour passed, and in the huge camp main area, Qi Yun turned around with his sloppy ass!! I inspected the grain and herb storehouse, the medicine storehouse, the cooking place, and the rest camp tents of individual soldiers, and all of them were unusual...

"Sir! You..."Xiao Zhao helped the other party, quickly glanced at Mr. Buttocks and quickly looked away, embarrassed, "You are unwell... Just don't run around! ”

"Oops..."Qi Yun wailed, and said in his heart, do you think I want to! Looking up, he couldn't help but be stunned, "What kind of place is this?" The two of them wandered around to a flat land, and Qi Yun saw ten cows!!

"Ah~ This is the cow of Tonghe City!" Xiao Zhao smiled happily, pointed to dozens of large barrels in another place and said, "In order to comfort the soldiers, the people of Tonghe City spontaneously donated milk, and the city order ordered people to collect it and send it to the army!" That's cow's milk! Very rare!! Then he said to himself, "Unfortunately, the villain doesn't like to drink, and he can't be blessed... The villain's share was given to Da Chen..."

"Milk?" Qi Yun's attention was on the milk, he looked at the cow on the left and the milk on the right, grabbed the other party's shoulder and said in surprise, "A copy of the whole army?!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Huishen continued, "But only in Tonghe City, each person can get a cup of milk. Later, the demand was too great, so the city commander ordered people to buy these ten cows! Walk with the army!! After two days, there was not much milk left... Ten cows produce too little milk... After today, everyone can only take turns to receive milk..."

"Huh!" Qi Yun grinned darkly and said proudly, "Sure enough, the emperor lives up to his wishes!" I figured it out!! ”

"Huh?" Xiao Zhao looked at the other party with a puzzled expression, tilted his head unconsciously, and repeated, "Got it?" ”

"Aha!" Qi Yun grabbed the other party's shoulders and shook vigorously, "You have made a meritorious service!" Summoning Soldiers! See you later!! With that, he ran away!!

Even if there was no external force shaking, Xiao Zhao was still dizzy, the spiral circles in his eyes were still enlarged, and he said vaguely: "... What kind of contribution has the villain made..."

Qi Yun twisted his ass and ran, looking a little funny, which provoked the guards to have to cast strange eyes, some of the more real soldiers didn't know Qi Yun, and they had to stop the other party and ask a few words! Fortunately, the dizzy Xiaozhao arrived in time, cleared up the misunderstanding, and let Qi Yun run all the way back to the main tent!!

"Lord Wang!!" Qi Yun was out of breath and wanted to rush into the camp tent! Lu Jiu hurriedly greeted and helped him! The two were firmly stopped by the guards soldiers!!

"Captain Wang, let the king's people come in." Qi Ming didn't hurry up.

Because the military doctors stumbled and said, Wang Duwei had been embarrassed for almost an hour, and he could finally be relieved, so he hurriedly let people go!

"Lord Wang!" Qi Yun broke away from Lu Jiu, stepped into the camp tent and said hurriedly, "I know!" Why do so many people have symptoms of soil and water adaptation!! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked except for Qiming!!

Doctor Meng, who had been kneeling on the ground, was very curious and asked, "What did Mr. find?" ”

Qi Yun glanced at the prince, and saw that the other party was also listening, so he spoke: "I found that there is milk in the army!" Milk is a hair product that can cause gastrointestinal upset in certain situations! ”

Wang Duwei frowned and wondered: "Gastrointestinal discomfort? ”

Qi Yun: "It's not all!" Cow's milk can also trigger heat stroke symptoms! When the seasons change abruptly and when the cold evil enters the body, it is taboo to eat this thing. ”

"......" Even Qi Ming, who knows a little about medical science, is more and more puzzled by this, "What does this have to do with the unsuitability of water and soil?" ”

The military doctors who knelt down also cast curious eyes!

Qi Yun explained: "The so-called heat stroke is the discomfort caused by the inability to dissipate heat in the body, dizziness and vomiting, diarrhea and fatigue... When encountering cold evil, it is a sudden encounter with a cold air current, and the body has not yet adapted to the climate, and the sweat pores will be closed in order to keep warm! But during the march, the body was still hot... At this time, the heat cannot be dissipated because the sweat pores are closed, isn't it the same as heat stroke! And the symptoms of these soldiers are very similar to the symptoms of heat stroke, oops! Eighty-nine is not far from ten!! ”

Doctor Meng said with a puzzled face: "What does Mr. mean is that the soldiers are not unaccustomed to water and soil, but heat stroke?!" ”

Qi Yun: "What they got is indeed unadaptable!" Accompanied by cold evil into the body, and heat stroke symptoms!! Originally, as long as the body is strong, this situation will not occur often, but drinking cow's milk catalyzes the outbreak of the disease!! ”

"Ridiculous!" Doctor Meng didn't agree, "This is a rumor!" Milk is highly nutritious! How can it be the culprit of the lack of adaptation?! ”

The other four medics nodded in agreement!

Ay... Wang Duwei thought to himself, it turned out that King Yi'an was delaying them just so that this gentleman would have the opportunity and time to explore the army alone! He glanced at Qi Yun and saluted: "Lord Wang, what this gentleman said has no basis, the military doctors have been practicing medicine for several years, how can they not know..."

"How is there no basis?!" Qi Yun said dissatisfied, "It's like eating bamboo shoots to cause abdominal pain!" Drinking alcohol causes gout! Did the soldiers start to feel unwell on a large scale after leaving Tonghe City?! ”

Wang Duwei and the military doctors looked at each other and were silent...

"Mr. Qi is well-informed, and he also knows a lot about strange people." Qi Ming smiled lightly, "Has Wang Duwei ever seen clothes that change color when the sun shines?" ”

β€œ... Discolored clothes?! "Both the military doctor and the royal captain were surprised!

Qi Ming: "This king has seen it, it is this Mr. Qi who solved the puzzle for this king, the discolored clothes are impregnated with bromine silver ore, and the silver bromine will turn from colorless to gray under the sunlight. ”

Wang Duwei glanced at the military doctors again, and retorted wordlessly...

Seeing this, Qi Ming continued to ask: "In the past, when the army marched, could there be a distribution of milk?" ”

"No," Wang Duwei said, "Our army assembled in Tonghe City and marched to the northern front, and it was the people of Tonghe City who were generous and sent milk to our army... It was collected and sent by the city order, and later he sent ten cows to accompany the army..."Speaking of this, his expression became even more solemn...

Qi Ming said shrewdly: "Isn't Du Wei Mo continuing to provide milk to the sick soldiers?" ”

Wang Duwei's face became even more ugly, and he knelt down and pleaded: "I really don't know about my humble position!" I thought that cow's milk could strengthen the body!! The prince forgives the sin!! ”

"Your guilt will be judged by your father." Qi Ming smiled lightly, but his tone was cold, "Now that the matter is clear, let's set off early, don't be careless!" If the northern line wins, you may have a chance to make up for it. If defeated... Apologize yourselves. Anyway, he didn't wait for a few people to respond, and led Qi Yun out!

"Lord Wang, this is an army of 300,000!" Out of the camp, Qi Yun saw Lu Jiu following, so he whispered, "According to the market price, such a huge supply of milk is not a small amount of silver!" Is it really spontaneous among the people? Ten cows aren't cheap either! Where did the city order get so much money?! This Tonghe City makes me feel very suspicious!! ”

"Tonghe City Order..."Qi Ming's footsteps did not stop, squinting his eyes and releasing a trace of killing intent, "Come back and settle accounts with him!" Let's go!! ”

"Huh?! Let's go?! Qi Yun was worried about the amount of blood left in his buttocks, and he couldn't believe it! There was only one unquestionable resolute back in response to him!!

Qi Ming changed his previous calmness, and rode out of the camp to gallop!! The red gauze headband peeking out of the wrist flutters with the strong wind!! It's like someone's heart beating wildly!!

In the huge city of Mangzhou, there are not many pedestrians on the streets, some have fled out of the city for refuge, some have closed the gate, locked their families in the courtyard without stepping through the second gate, and some are always vigilant to open the windows every once in a while to see the situation outside... Originally, the hawkers who came to the border to trade were the most active, but now there are only a few people hawking...

On the panicked streets, two figures, one large and one small, rode on horseback, marching to the north of Mangzhou...

"What are you doing in the barracks as a kid?" After a bumpy ride, Lan Bo slowed down at this moment to see if there was a suitable restaurant in the city to settle down and fill his stomach...

"You're in charge?" Yu Lingzhou said slightly arrogantly, "When you get to the barracks, I will definitely not break my promise to you!" ”

Lan Bo smiled and said, "How do I know you're not a spy from Beishuo?!" ”

Yu Lingzhou raised his surprised little face and looked back and up, and said in a childish voice: "Do you suspect that I am a spy of the enemy army?!" ”

Lan Bo lowered his eyes and looked at each other silently, with such an expression on his face...

Yu Lingzhou: "Then why are you still taking me on the road?" ”

Lan Bo said with a slight joke: "Control you in my hands!" ”

Yu Lingzhou retracted his head disappreactively and said, "You think too much!" The people of Beishuo are tall and mighty, and my body is too small! ”

Lan Bo looked all the way and found that after picking up the little boy's appearance, he was as moist as a fresh fruit, with a pink little face and red lips, which was indeed the appearance of the Central Plains, and he was also a leader among his peers.

"Whether it's a Beishuo spy or not, you'll find out when you enter the barracks!" Lan Bo raised his eyes to look into the distance, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Humph! Employing people is not suspicious, and suspicious people are not needed! Although Yulingzhou's children's voice is good, the tone is disdainful, "I shouldn't have chosen you to escort!" With that, he twisted his little body and jumped off the horse nimbly!! When your toes hit the ground, you roll on the spot to cushion the force! got up and dressed in the corners, looked like a little boy, and chose a medium-sized inn to walk in!

It's a pity! This calmness, this extravagance did not last long! Yuling Zhou was stopped at the door!!

"The inn doesn't take in little beggars!" The shopkeeper is humane!

"Who do you say is the little beggar?!!" Yulingzhou is like a proud precious cat!

Seeing this, Lan Bo couldn't help laughing, and after getting off the horse, he took out a silver ingot and said: "My young master is greedy for fun, and he fell into a mud puddle and was muddy. ”

The shopkeeper saw the money before his eyes opened, and he was busy greeting a big one, please!

"Hmm..."Yu Lingzhou looked at the old uncle viciously, he was really rich enough to make the ghost grind, "Hmph! He turned his head arrogantly, and reluctantly followed the other party into the inn!
