readx;? Chapter 12: The Boy (3)

This epidemic did not fall from the sky, but someone deliberately did it!

It was Zheng Ziming, the insidious and vicious Zheng Ziming, who first took advantage of the alternating cold and heat in early spring and the frequent occurrence of epidemics, and managed to make the captured Youzhou soldiers infected with a serious cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Then, taking advantage of Han Dexin's brother's eagerness to make up for his mistakes, he sent the soldiers who suffered from a serious cold and the soldiers who were in good health back to Taojiazhuang!

And the two little brothers Yelu Chi Dog and Han Dexin have long been beaten into frightened birds by the surname Zheng. I was overjoyed to be able to take advantage of this person. How could you have imagined that these cheap things were deliberately taken advantage of by the other party, and there was a peerless killing move hidden in them!

Not only did Yelu Chi Dog and Han Dexin not expect that they had changed themselves, but Han Kuangmei didn't think that she could see through this person's conspiracy. Building ice for the city, pouring water on the mountain, and even inviting people to roast and eat meat, all hide a lot of killing opportunities. Many means, all of which are incredible. No wonder Yi Dingying's heroes in Sanzhou, no one can afford to provoke him. No wonder juniors such as Ma Yanxu and Han Zhuo will be defeated.

And even the epidemic can be used as a means of defeating the enemy, how can that kid surnamed Zheng have no other follow-up killing moves? If he doesn't come up with a countermeasure strategy in the fastest time and delays it for two more days, he will become the second Ma Yanxu. Half of the world's fame that came out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain will be completely wiped out!

is worthy of being a "veteran" who has been famous for many years, and after discovering that he may be tricked, Han Kuangmei's first thought was not to be held responsible, but how to get rid of the current crisis.

Staying in the camp and waiting for the epidemic to subside will never work. Although the severe cold will not be directly fatal, it will break out very quickly, and if the battalion is not divided in time, it will definitely spread to the whole army within three days. And since Zheng Ziming knows how to use the despicable means of spreading the epidemic to trap everyone, he will not let the Youzhou Army recuperate calmly. He will definitely kill everyone from the mountain at the most difficult moment when the Youzhou army is sick with weak legs and weak feet, and the people are panicked, and give everyone a fatal blow!

"Han Fu, you wait for me to wash my face, and then go find a piece of red paper and paint some color on my face!" While quickly thinking of countermeasures, Han Kuangmei whispered orders to his henchman. Although his mind is far less than his usual brilliance, every command is clear and distinct. "Han Shou, you go to the front hall and find someone to order a few more carbon basins. Then hang more copper kettles to boil water over the fire. By the way, let the military man take some medicines such as mugwort and peppermint and boil them in water to refresh everyone. ”

"Yes!" the two henchmen agreed loudly and went their separate ways. After a while, Han Kuangmei was cleaned up from head to toe, and her face was rubbed with red paper. At first glance, he only looked a little haggard, but he would never be noticed, and in fact, he was so sick that he could barely stand up.

The council hall, which had been temporarily converted from a squire's mansion, was also warmed by charcoal fire, and the air was filled with a wet medicinal mist. Although it may not be effective in relieving the cold, at least, sitting in such a room will make the patient feel much better, and the nasal cavity and throat will no longer be unbearable itching.

In order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, Han Kuangmei rushed to the back of the handsome case before the generals arrived, and asked the family to help him to the back of the handsome case and sit up straight. Then he cheered up, took a military book and put it on the desk, pretending to be ready to turn it slowly.

The letter of war was obtained by him when he went south this time, from the hands of a Jiedu envoy who had just surrendered. The name is called "The Mirror of the Six Armies", pretending to be written by Li Jing, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, in fact, many of the contents are very "fresh", and connoisseurs can see at a glance that the birth of this book cannot be earlier than before the Huangchao Rebellion.

However, although the author of the book is false, Han Kuangmei thinks that it makes sense to say many words, especially about siege and field warfare, and a few sentences simply speak to his heart: "Commander the army, siege the city, and then set the army." The husband is a general, he can recognize the opportunity of this, know the situation of the other, and why worry about the merit and the battle!" (Note 1)

"The old man's loss today is due to the unanticipated enemy!" Gently closing the book, Han Kuangmei sighed and shook her head. The benefits of having a book on hand at all times are not just about being able to put on a show. Reading a few sentences once in a while can also quickly distract yourself, relieve the feeling of dizziness in your head and the anxiety in your heart.

And just when he adjusted his spirit to the best, the generals under his command also rushed to the temporary Chinese army meeting hall. The smell of wormwood and mint in the air lifted everyone's spirits. Immediately, they looked at each other, and they all saw panic on each other's faces.

It turned out that they were not the only ones who were sick! At least more than half of the people present were already infected with the wind cold! According to this ratio, wouldn't there be 8,000 of the 16,000 troops who could no longer carry swords to fight? What if the situation was learned by the thieves in Lijiazhai......

The consequences are unimaginable!

Before the Chinese army responded, all the generals thought that they were just themselves, because they braved the wind and snow for days to march, and unfortunately fell ill. Only now did they finally realize that it was not only themselves who were unlucky, but more than half of the people in the camp! No wonder today's drums were beating so urgently! No wonder they saw so few brothers and felt such a depressing atmosphere when they marched all the way to the Chinese army.

"The old man originally wanted to lead you to sweep away Lijiazhai in a battle, pull out this thorn in my Youzhou, and completely wash away the shame of the defeat of several juniors twice. The only thing that made everyone rush to comfort was that their coach Han Kuangmei did not seem to be affected by the epidemic. His voice was subdued, and his face was faintly glowing with a healthy red.

However, God is not beautiful, but at the turn of winter and spring, many brothers in the camp were infected with wind and cold. Under the pleased gaze of everyone, Han Kuangmei continued to talk eloquently, and her gestures were all calm. "Yes, the old man can only obey God's arrangement, so that the thief can be more arrogant today. First withdraw the army to the outside of the mountain to recuperate, and after the spring is warm, choose a day to re-enter the mountain and completely plow the court and sweep the holes!"

At this time, the brothers are most likely to get sick. It is safest for the whole army to withdraw outside the mountain first!"

"Yes, yes, big, cough, cough, handsome, we don't need to risk making the brothers fall ill for a few little thieves!"

"Ah, Ahh When Ma Yanxu was stationed here before, he didn't pay attention to fighting, sneezing, and cleaning. Excrement and urine are everywhere, and there are piles of filth. Really, it's really not appropriate for the army to stay for long!"

"The last general is willing to lead an army to break off and escort everyone away safely!"

"The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead the brothers in his headquarters to open the way for the whole army!"

"The Last General ......"

Infected by Han Kuangmei's deliberate calm posture, the soldiers who were originally a little panicked stood up, blushed, wiped off their noses, or agreed, or asked for help, and were arrogant. Everyone forgot about their physical discomfort for a while, and they would not think about the embarrassing situation that the army was facing now on the enemy's military plan.

"Although the old man decided to let the thief go for the time being, he can't fall into the power of my Youzhou soldiers!" Seeing that his means of calming people's hearts were working, Han Kuangmei pressed his hand down and added loudly. "Withdraw, naturally withdraw, but before leaving, you must teach the thief a lesson! Otherwise, he still thinks that the old man is afraid of him, not the unpredictable God!"

"Big handsome, cough cough, big handsome, just show it. I'll wait, I'll wait, don't dare to disobey!"

"Dashuai, Dashuai, cough cough, how to teach thieves, you, you can arrange it!"

"Ahh

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......"

The sound of sneezing, coughing, and the general's statement became one. No one had time to notice that the sideburns of his handsome Han Kuangmei were faintly oozing sweat, as well as the sadness inadvertently revealed in his eyes.

"Okay!" Han Kuangmei gathered all her strength and slammed the handsome case, so shocked that all the Qi Ling arrows jumped up and flew down in all directions. The generals listened to the order, quickly went back to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and prepared to go down the mountain. Han Kuangxian, Han Dewei ......"

"The last general!" Han Kuangxian, the commander of the right army, and Han Dewei, the head of the guard, both went out and obeyed orders.

"You two!" Han Kuangmei's gaze swept over the two of them, and a sour feeling rose in her heart. But soon, he suppressed this sour feeling, and commanded in an unquestioning voice, "From the right army and the guards, select two thousand brothers." Eat a full meal, and then go to challenge Zheng Ziming. At any cost, you must defeat the arrogance of this son!"

"Obey!" Han Kuangxian and Han Dewei did not hesitate, stepped forward to pick up an arrow, turned around, and strode away.

"Wait, hurry up and straighten out the soldiers and horses!" Han Kuangmei waved his hand, signaling that the other generals could also retreat. Then, hold the table with both hands and force yourself not to fall down. It wasn't until all the footsteps faded away that his body leaned forward sharply, opening his mouth and spewing out a strange red.

"Dashuai-" The two personal servants stepped forward, held him hard, and exclaimed in a low voice. "You're handsome—"

"Don't shout, wipe the blood off, don't show it to others!" cough, cough, cough......" Han Kuangmei's face was as yellow as freeze-dried cow dung, and while coughing, she shook her head vigorously, "The general is the courage of the three armies, and if the old man wants to die, he must die outside the mountain!"

"Yes, handsome!" Han Fu and Han Lu lowered their heads and wiped their tears. One bent down and picked up Han Kuangmei on her back, and the other leaned over and quickly began to clean up.

Han Kuangmei smiled with difficulty, and continued to command in a low voice, "Wait a while, you two, go, go and secretly pass the order to the fifth master and Dewei for the old man, let's let them be vain, fake a shot, that is, you can ......"

Suddenly, he closed his mouth tightly again, gritted his teeth, and the muscles in his face twitched up and down. After a long time, he opened his red teeth and gasped and added, "Don't go, listen, let it be fate!

"Yes!" the two personal figures seemed to understand whether they understood or not, wiping their tears and nodding.

Han Kuangmei smiled with difficulty, and then, like an old man who was about to die, closed his eyes. Wheezing hard, coughing hard, his face full of pain, but not wanting to say another word.

If a family wants to stand for a thousand years, someone must sacrifice for it.

Today, it is the turn of Han Kuangxian and Han Dewei.

These two people, one is his own brother, and the other is the leader of his personal guards who have lived and died with him for many years. None of them were infected with the cold, and they were all loyal to the Han family.

Note 1: Li Jing was a famous soldier in the early Tang Dynasty, but the military books of Li Jing handed down in later generations were all forgeries. Part of it was during the Xining period of the Song Dynasty, and several officials were ordered by the emperor to collect and sort out. The other part was compiled by Wang Zongyi in the Qing Dynasty. Neither the former nor the latter had much experience in leading troops.
