Houmen survives in the cracks, and Baoding Yuxiang looks for a lover

Because of the sick horse incident, the two countries that had just made friends were estranged again, and border frictions began to occur continuously.

First, the Ogedai nomads plundered several villages near Yanzhou City, and then the Ogedai people hunted across the border and were shot dead by the Yongxing army.

Just when everyone was accusing each other and arguing with each other, Ogedai Khan, who was only forty-three years old, died because of excessive wine and his hollowed out body could not survive this unusually hot summer.

The battle between the eldest prince and the second prince was officially staged, and for a time the tribes continued to fight.

When the news reached the capital, the emperor, who was the eldest brother of the first Khan of Ogedei, was very angry, and this was worth it, the child's family was like this, wouldn't he take him as an uncle in his eyes?

So as soon as the emperor was angry, all the ministers immediately wrote to him, saying that this Wo Kotai Khan was a traitor who did not pay attention to faith, and now the two princes are like this, and it is clear that there is no monarch in their eyes.

Soon the imperial court reached a consensus, and on June 18, the emperor gave gold and silver belts, cotton jackets, silverware, saddle bridles, and elephant wat from all roads in Yanyan, Jingyuan, Huanqing, Xihe, and Linfu, and issued an edict to the leaders of the Kipchak Khanate and other tribes to coordinate to quell the rebellion.

When the Fifth Route Army marched to the border with the banners and drums of war, the Yongxing Army finally waited for Dr. Wang Huabin, who was in the dust.

Sprinkled with lime, the smell of soup and medicine filled the entire military camp, this scene made Wang Huabin, who had always been calm, also startled, and his brows furrowed.

I didn't have time to be polite, so I went straight to the sick horse.

There were hundreds of horses in Wu Yangyang's circle, and Wang Huabin gasped.

"These... Both? He couldn't help but ask.

"It's... It's not—" The veterinarians wiped their sweat.

Since the last time the medicine was ineffective, it completely panicked everyone, but whenever they saw a horse in poor condition, sneezed or something, they all circled it.

Wang Huabin frowned, "No, if it's really a bad epidemic, can you still have time to keep so many people in captivity?" ”

He muttered, lifting his feet into the horse ring, not even bringing protective equipment.

The others were not as careless as him, they all dressed up, and then carefully followed in, Wang Huabin had already checked the three horses.

"Doctor Wang, how's it going?" Someone hurriedly asked, "Why don't those drugs work?" ”

Wang Huabin seemed a little surprised, but also a little unconvinced, he once again penetrated into the depths of the herd.

"This...."After looking at a dozen horses in succession, he stood up with some puzzlement, reached out and tapped the swollen nose bone of the horse in front of him.

The horse was frightened by the pain, and shook him off all over his body with yellow thick pus and snot, which was extremely fishy.

The crowd that had followed them also retreated in fright.

"Doctor Wang, be careful," they hurriedly reminded.

The horse shook its nose and seemed to feel better, wheezing heavily.

Wang Huabin didn't care, and his eyes fell on the horse again, the horse had a good appetite, lowered his head and bit the reins in his neck and chewed it.

"Doctor Wang?" Seeing that he was silent, everyone couldn't help but ask questions in a whisper.

Wang Huabin turned his head with a strange expression and looked at everyone: "This... It doesn't seem to be a bad epidemic."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Isn't it a plague?

"But most of these horses are as sick as they were back then," said one of the men, pointing to a nearby horse with a runny nose, coughing, wheezing, and yellow lips and tongue.....

Wang Huabin nodded, also walked in front of the horse, and lifted the horse's head for everyone to see.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you see, although this horse has a runny nose, it is a clear nose, and the last time the lung was a thick white..."

Everyone looked at him, and sure enough.

"But this is the beginning of the disease, and when the disease deepens, it becomes a thick yellow nasal discharge, and it is also fishy," someone objected.

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded, yes, that's right, they were frightened by this fishy yellow snot at the beginning.

"Is there blood?" asked Wang Huabin.

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, did they have this or not, they were too nervous at the time, and they didn't pay attention....

"Snot is just one of them," Wang Huabin was basically sure at this time, his demeanor was much more relaxed, and he bent over and pointed to the horse's legs, "Lung disease, the horses are emaciated, they don't want to eat, their legs and feet are swollen....look at these horses..."

Wang Huabin stood up straight as he spoke, pointed to the horses around him, and reached out to pat the horse's belly.

"The food is really fat and strong, how can there be a little bit of a bad epidemic..."

Everyone was stunned, and looked at these horses again in disbelief, wondering, how could the horses, who were weak when they looked at each other horizontally and vertically, really look in good spirits at this time

"It's... How is this possible," someone muttered.

"But," Wang Huabin said, and a smile appeared on the flat face, "the horse is indeed sick."

Is that sick or not, everyone looked at Wang Huabin with bitter faces.

The news soon reached the marshal of the army, and Lord Wu rushed over in his busy schedule.

"What's not a plague," he trembled with excitement.

"It's also a disease that occurs because of hot weather, overstaffing of horses, or nose injuries, and hot lungs....." Wang Huabin explained carefully, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "It's rare here, is there any grace... I'm not sure if it's contagious..."

I learned this word from the lord of Huilan, and when I said it, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the unknown whereabouts of that girl.

"It's supposed to be mildly contagious, like... A few adults still remember what Lord Huilan said, "Can the cold be contagious," he said, arching his hand and looking at the military doctors and veterinarians around him.

Some people remember, some people have long forgotten, but whether they remember it or not, everyone nodded together.

"This gas poison is similar to that..."Wang Huabin said, "Otherwise, it would have been so long....."

At this point, everyone understands that if it is really a terrible epidemic, I am afraid that when Wang Huabin arrives, he will see a dead corpse.

It turned out to be a false alarm, and it seems that everyone was frightened, and they were so frightened that they were all soldiers.....

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even when they were scolded by Lord Wu with a cold face, they were not so panicked.

As long as it's not a bad epidemic, it's okay to scold a few words and beat it.

"Your Excellency," Wang Huabin looked at the furious Lord Wu, and hurriedly persuaded him, "This gas poison is indeed very similar to lung failure, you are not at fault for being so cautious, and it is indeed contagious, and it is also thanks to you for acting like this to avoid causing a catastrophe..."

"Oh so, you can't cure these mediocre people for disturbing the morale of the army," Lord Wu said slowly, snorting heavily as he swept over the veterinarian in front of him.

"One is timely isolation, the other is medication, although the medicine is not completely symptomatic, but it also plays a role in clearing the lungs and defeating fire," Wang Huabin said solemnly, "This disease does not affect the diet and fat, and it is easy to be ignored, if not treated in time, the hot poison will attack the heart, excessive qi and blood, and spread to the throat, at that time, the trough is swollen, and the hard core fills the throat, it is a fatal disease, and it is very contagious, and it can be called a severe epidemic."

Everyone changed their faces when they said this.

Lord Wu didn't understand it very well in the clouds, but the doctors around him came back to their senses.

"Yes, yes, it's a swollen throat! It's a swollen throat!"

"As I said earlier, this disease is a precursor to laryngeal bone distention..."

"I just said cough, cough, you should use throat clearing to disperse, you don't listen...."

Looking at these hindsights, Wu Da roared in popularity.

"Get out of here, and in three days, cure these horses!" He stared and shouted, watching the doctors scatter and the boulder in his heart fell to the ground, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Good, good, God bless me!" He laughed a few times and raised his hand to greet the lieutenant generals, "Pass the order, prepare for battle, and be the vanguard of the Fifth Route Army!"

The generals raised their voices in response, and the momentum soared.

"And.." Lord Wu turned around to leave, snorted again, and said to the deputy general, "In this battle, we must pour all our troops into this battle, and let those doctors go to the battlefield for me!"

The soldiers have been reconciled, and they have been sent by order.

When Lord Wu saw Wang Huabin, he laughed and said, "Little Doctor Wang is not part of our army, so naturally he is not among them, Mr. Wang is tired from the journey, please rest quickly."

Wang Huabin thanked him, watched Master Wu turn around to leave, hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly followed a few steps.

"Your Excellency.." He saluted, "....Lord Huilan is in Wokotai."

Remembering that the last time they came together as cousins, it can be seen that there must be a friendship, so Lord Wu did not hide his thoughts.

“… Originally, I thought that this terrible epidemic was too weird, so I guessed that it was from the hand of the county lord...", he said in a low voice, "But according to what you say, it is just a false alarm, so naturally I will not do the county lord's business....."

When Wang Huabin heard this, he frowned slightly, as if he was talking to himself, "However, this poison is also very strange..."

Lord Wu moved his mouth when he heard this, as if he was about to say something, but he swallowed it again, laughed, and patted Wang Huabin on the shoulder.

"What's weird! It rains in winter and snows in summer, and there is no strange thing in that year! What is this! How old are you, what have you seen?"

A few days later, Lord Wu, who had lived most of his life and had been on the battlefield several times, saw what really strange things were! Make him unforgettable for the rest of his life!

The battle against Wokotai began with a small part of the confrontation, accompanied by the successive encirclement of the five armies, and the large-scale siege battle began.

Yongxing has been fighting for a long time, and although Wokotai has been on guard for a long time, it has been busy with internal strife recently, and it is inevitable that the war will be a little caught off guard at the beginning of the war, and it will be defeated and retreated.

The main force of the Han army was greatly boosted by this, and killed in one fell swoop to the territory of Wokotai.

But Wokotai quickly reacted, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince first dealt with the eldest prince with a quick knife, gathered the strength of the clan, and used the advantage of the fierce and brave cavalry and horse warfare to reverse the situation, but at this time, the Han army began to be trapped due to the long battle line and insufficient supplies. Soon, the main forces of the two sides came face to face and began a life-and-death encounter battle.

The sound of fighting has been sounding for a day and a night, and the coaches standing on the commanding heights in the rear can see that the oncoming Wokotai people are boundless, and the smoke and dust raised cover half of the sky.

The pioneer Wo Kuotai Iron Cavalry who took the lead were all helmets with face covers, only eyes, iron leaf armor on the chest and back to protect the body, cowhide sleeves to protect the arms, even the horses were carrying face protection, everyone held long knives in their hands, and the neighing sound shook the sky.

In this battle, both sides are cohesive and do their best to fight.

"Who is the pioneer of Wokotai," Lord Wu asked urgently.

Someone reported: "Second Prince"

Lord Wu gasped, and everyone in the tent also looked solemn.

"My lord," a soldier rushed in, "Oh no, Master Hou went to be the vanguard..."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the tent changed in fright.

"Quick, prepare the horses." Lord Wu was the first to react and rushed out.

Outside the camp tent, I only heard shouting in the distance, and at a glance, Rao is battle-hardened general was also slightly cold.

The two armies are in a state of being in a state of stubbornness, the war horses touching the war horses, the soldiers squeezing the soldiers, chopping hard, and connecting the hard frames, just like harvesting rice and wheat, constantly falling down one by one.

"My lord, it's not good!" The generals on the horse urged their horses to rush to the front line, and suddenly one of the generals exclaimed.

Everyone looked up, only to see that their own array was suddenly killed and a hole was opened, and the Wokutai Iron Cavalry pressed on it step by step, and at this time, the camp was torn apart, and it would be like a breach of the embankment.

Lord Wu only felt cold all over his body, and he felt like falling into an ice cave in the scorching summer.

"Soldiers, come with me....." He pulled out his mid-straddle knife and hissed.

Before the words fell, I suddenly saw that the camp in front of me had indeed broken the embankment......

The horses in the battle position suddenly fell, as if under a spell, a large number of horses fell to the ground and rolled without warning, and the knights on the horses who were caught off guard were like lame men, planted out, rolled down, were smashed by horses, stepped on, and were cut by the opponent's broadsword.....

For a time there was chaos on the battlefield.

Lord Wu and the others, who were holding knives, were stunned.

"My lord, it's the horse of Ogedei...."The soldiers shouted in unison, "The horse of Ogedei!"

Wave after wave, gradually converging into one sound, like rolling thunder resounding across the battlefield.

The Ogedai warriors who lost their horses were like the vegetable melons on the board of lambs to be slaughtered, and what was even more terrifying was that this sudden and inexplicable situation shattered the nerves of the Wokotai people.

The defeat was like a mountain.

Huturu, whose face was covered in blood, was pulled by four or five people.

"Hurry up, sir, hurry up.." Four or five of them worked together to hold him, swing away from the fighting crowd, and retreat.

"Don't go, don't retreat, those who retreat before the battle, kill.." Huturu swung his sword and slashed at the man who was pulling him.

The man fell down in blood.

"My lord" The three of them rushed up and hugged his arm, "My lord, the second prince has been killed in battle..... our clan is defeated today, in order to avenge the revenge, my lord... My lord..."

The knife in Huturu's hand drooped down, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"What's going on, what the hell is going on..."

"My lord, let's go." The three of them embraced Hutulu and mounted their horses and galloped towards the rear.

At this time, the rear was also chaotic, Hutulu and their dozen people entered the city, and the Han army also followed, and the city was full of people who fled in a hurry, and the cries of women, old people and children shook the sky, and the flames were everywhere.

"My lord, where are you going" Blocking the way and fleeing people, more than a dozen guards couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Hu Tulu suddenly turn his horse's head.

"It's that woman! That woman did it!" Hutulu raised his head to the sky and shouted, and galloped towards the location of his people.

The situation here is not much better than in the city, full of fleeing people, glowing yurts, unattended cattle, horses and sheep in panic, crying old people and children left on the side of the road.....

The woman who was always honest and humble and laughed with her, and only stood in the horse pen has long since disappeared...
