According to Chishui's instructions, Wu Zhiyan quietly collected all the straw mats from the new military camp, piled them together in a tent, and wrote a letter to send them to the logistics camp. Within a few days, the logistics battalion replied that a new batch of straw mats was on the way to be delivered, and Wu Zhiyan also found that although some of the soldiers had slept on the ground or on damp fabrics in the past few days, and their spirits were a little haggard, their symptoms were getting weaker and weaker. And the owner of 0 Chishui Mansion left the pioneer camp with the girls of the Star Covering Building not long after the letter was sent, and no one knew where they went.

On the other side, within a dozen miles of the front of the pioneer camp of Ma Siguo, in the pioneer camp of the Central Plains, Wen Zuyu was already in a state of flux for the epidemic. There was a circle of military generals and civil officials sitting beside him, all of them like frosted eggplants.

"Lord Wen, a report from the capital has come to say that General Xufeng Zhuofeng has left Beijing, and on the way here, let's get ready to greet him. A civil servant held a piece of paper in his hand and said.

Wen Zuyu didn't know why, and he couldn't believe it when he heard the news: "General, but the emperor has already announced the title of the eldest prince? Doesn't it mean that the third prince has returned to the capital?"

The generals sitting in a circle didn't know what was inconsistent with the return of the third prince to Beijing and the crown prince being named a general, and naturally they didn't understand where Wen Zuyu's question came from.

"Well," the civil official said with some hesitation, "the third prince has indeed returned to the capital, and as for the matter of the crown prince being made a general, he has not yet received the emperor's edict, but the letter from the capital is called so." ”

Wen Zuyu bowed slightly, so it makes sense, the emperor did not issue an edict, so it means that Xufeng Chenhui did not fail, and the prince rushed to the front line at this time, and claimed to be a general, which shows that the influence of Xufeng Chenhui after returning to the dynasty is expanding, so the prince now only wants to cook rice and mature rice, so as not to have many dreams at night.

For Wen Zuyu, he is not too partial to which side can win the handsome flag, but he believes in his heart that Xufeng Zhuofeng will not be Xufeng Chenhui's opponent in terms of power or intelligence.

"Although the old man is only acting as a general, he should also hand over a complete and sound army to him when the orthodox general comes," Wen Zuyu said, "Therefore, whether the epidemic situation in the army has improved or not, the general of each camp will report to me the situation of his camp." ”

After Wen Zuyu finished speaking, he looked around, and every general buried his head and did not speak.

"Okay, the old man knows," Wen Zuyu sighed, looked at the civilian official's side, and asked, "The military doctor has a countermeasure?"

"Back to my lord, we couldn't find the source of the disease, and we could only speculate on the condition of the soldiers, and the effect was not optimistic," a military doctor volunteered, "Judging from the condition of the soldiers alone, although the disease is highly contagious, it is not fatal..."

Wen Zuyu raised his hand and interrupted impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't talk about these useless things." ”

The military doctor who volunteered was like eating a yellow lotus, and he was immediately speechless, and retreated back to the team in a huff.

Wen Zuyu immediately turned to the other side and asked, "By the way, are the women in the Star Covering Tower still in their pioneer camp?"

"I left the day before yesterday, but the spies couldn't keep up. ”

"Then what happened to the epidemic situation in the camp?" Wen Zuyu asked more and more, and his heart became more and more blocked.

"The spies came this morning to report that the epidemic situation in the camp was the same as ours, and it had worsened again. ”

"Finally, there is not bad news, the whole army counts the soldiers, reassigns the tents, and arranges all the soldiers who are not sick into the outer tents, so that the spies on the other side can only see our sturdy soldiers walking around the camp. Wen Zuyu did this only as a stopgap measure, not a long-term strategy, but at this moment, he could only think of this way to balance the battle situation.

"Yes!"

Wen Zuyu waved his hand and signaled the meeting to be dismissed, a little helpless: there are no generals in the imperial court, and the emperor assigned the old man to come to the front line to command first, if he said that he would fight alone with the other general, the old man would not be afraid, and if the old man was at the mercy of the 10,000-strong army, he would be powerless, but the old man could be regarded as doing his best. Whether it's Tianzhu or something else, although the army has been attacked by the epidemic, but the other party is also unable to enter because of this, and now this stalemate situation is not a good thing for the two countries, but it is a good thing for the old man-

"Lord Wen," Wen Zuyu thought that everyone was out of the big tent, but he didn't want anyone to suddenly call him, "The subordinate has a sentence in his heart, and he really wants to ask." ”

"Just ask. Wen Zuyu pulled himself out of his thoughts and returned to reality.

"Lord Wen, is the prince really qualified for the position of general?" the subordinate who asked the question said cautiously, "Not only the subordinates, but also many generals in the camp are discussing, this prince is idle on weekdays, and he has not done a single major thing, but he is very greedy for merit and profit, and it is difficult for the soldiers to unite with him." ”

If it were in the palace, someone would talk about the royal family like this, I am afraid that he would have been in a different place long ago. And now, Wen Zuyu is in the barracks, and his mood has also changed, not only did he not warn this person, but nodded slightly.

But he said in his mouth: "The emperor arranges who to hold which position, naturally there is some consideration, you don't have to speculate in vain, just obey orders." ”

**

The tense atmosphere of the war did not seem to affect the rhythm of life in the northern city, and the streets and alleys were still the same as usual, and the common people talked and laughed and went from house to house.

"Xingji, you just don't want to be quiet for a moment when you rub your skin and itch all day long?" Tianyu Qing is feeding fish on the island in the middle of the lake, occasionally looking at Xingji who is pacing left and right behind.

"Kuaiju and Shen Shi have both gone to the barracks, why am I staying here alone!" Xing Ji pouted, obviously unhappy.

"If they all go, who will help me when I need help?"

"Oh?" Xing Ji's eyes immediately lit up, and she leaned behind the owner and asked, "What does the owner want me to help with?"

"It's easy to say but it's not easy, and it's not difficult to say it," Tian Yuqing deliberately sold Guanzi, looked at Xingji with a smile, and said, "Are you interested?"

"The owner of the village said quickly, as long as there is something to do, I am about to die in the village. ”

"I want you to go to the Wanpeng Inn, where there are still some martial arts people from the Central Plains, some of whom are headed by Chen Yin, and talk to them. ”

"The group of people from the Wandering Temple and Yunba Peak?"

Tian Yuqing nodded.

"Then how can I move, in addition to listening to the monk of the empty tour, they only recognize Chen Yin, and even the Chishui Lord of the Star Tower has taken the girls to grind and soak hard," Xingji heard this, and suddenly lost interest, "Say not to move, to say not to move!"

"This time is different," Tian Yuqing continued to tease the fish, and said, "Shen Shi wrote a letter back yesterday, and you just happened to be able to use the letter on it." ”
